The Sun King's Evidence

Despite the warning from the Fairy of the Lake, Ryan ordered the coalition forces to camp and rest temporarily. This army was already very tired after a long battle. Under such circumstances, it was not a good idea to forcefully march to stop Mahubader's army. A rational and correct choice would be to give more soldiers to the undead.

They need to spend some time resting and replenishing their troops before setting off to the north, either from the south of Lyonnaise to Curona, or from the Arden Forest through the Castle of Artois, the former capital of the Principality of Artois.

The army swept the battlefield where there was nothing worth cleaning, and Morgiana led a group of Lake God Oracles who chanted spells to cleanse the corruption of Chaos.

Landuin's sacrifice opened a new era for Mousilon. Even the most ignorant serfs could feel that the land was changing.

The swamps are receding, large swamps are turning into lakes, and small swamps are turning into ponds.

The corruption brought by the undead and Chaos to this land is gradually disappearing. This is the last gift left by Landuin who burned his soul.

In the afternoon, Ryan, Kalad, Morgiana and several other dukes sat together to discuss what to do next.

Large chunks of chopped wild boar were prepared by the knight's attendants and placed on the fire for roasting. The knight's attendants skillfully used pepper and honey to flavor the barbecue. Ryan sat in the center, and Morgiana sat on his left hand. Beside him, Bohemond sat on his right, and everyone was eating and talking with wine.

"The casualties this time are not bad, generally less than 30%." Bochmond first said: "Although the war is very difficult, the casualties are acceptable."

Everyone nodded. The casualties in this war were barely within the tolerance of the Dukes. That is, although the process was very difficult, the most important tug-of-war and defeat were not fought. At best, the coalition forces of Order only fought against the Demonic Army of Tzeentch. A head-on confrontation.

The most difficult battle that followed was fought by the demon army of Nurgle.

Therefore, Ryan and others did not know what to say about the inexplicable victory of this war.

"Now our army is exhausted and supplies are difficult. If we go to rescue Kurona, we are very likely to be ambushed by the undead." Hagen, Duke of Gisoleaux, was seriously injured in this war, and his helmet was damaged. Half of it was smashed, but fortunately the stag took it back with a lance: "But Kurona is the royal capital, and we must save it. Even if it is spring, we must mobilize the army!"

"Yes, we must rescue the royal capital." Francois had no objections to this: "We cannot let that black knight occupy our capital. The country has been established for thousands of years, and Curona has never been lost."

"Then the question is, what qualifications does the Black Knight Matthew Bader think he has to ascend to the throne?" Boderick, Duke of Bordeaux, said strangely: "I remember that he turned out to be a knight errant in Connet. That’s it, he doesn’t even have a duke title! He’s not a member of the twelve first-generation Holy Grail Knight families or their vassal families, either?”

"No, he is." Ryan said in a deep voice: "Mahubard has actually met the four conditions for becoming a king. When he was young, he received the title of Paladin due to a series of feats and noble virtues."

"But his title of Duke of Mousilon is self-proclaimed. We all know that you are the real Duke of Mousilon who has been recognized by Lord Landuin!" Kalad said with some dissatisfaction. This powerful man from the Holy Domain said He deliberately argued: "On this basis, Mahhubard cannot be the king!"

"He can, because even if he is not Duke Mousilon, he still meets enough conditions." Ryan sneered: "Because he is the son of Duke Laun! He is his illegitimate son! Now that Laoen's life and death are uncertain, he, as Laoen, Eun's bastard son rightly has a weak claim."

Ryan's understatement shocked everyone present.

"What? Mahhubard is Raun's son?!"

"No wonder, no wonder this knight errant, who once possessed outstanding virtues, has fallen so completely!"

"That's a bastard!"

"That's right! Lawn did have an illegitimate son who was abandoned in the wilderness. If that's the case, everything makes sense."

Everyone whispered, and many were speechless in surprise. After hearing this, Duke Bohemond shook his head repeatedly: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate! I know this. When Louis ordered the child to be abandoned in the wilderness, I also suggested that he not do that and instead send the child to the empire where he would not be cold or hungry, but Louis insisted."

"Hahaha, the father abandoned his son. After the son was adopted and grew up, he came to seek revenge on his father. Not only did he want to kill his father, but he also inherited everything from his father. You humans are really kind to fathers and filial to sons." Aralos, the wood elf lord who was listening in the audience, mocked. He said, he planned to continue to satirize the stupidity and backwardness of human beings. Ryan glared at him and said that it was none of your business. Aralos shrugged and said, "I won't talk anymore."

"If that's the case, then Mathhubard is indeed qualified to claim the throne." Francois opened his eyes, and the wise and strategic father-in-law immediately realized the problem: "Because as Lao En Of course, the illegitimate son is a member of the Duke of Connet's family. He can legitimately claim the title of duke and regent of the kingdom that Lawn currently holds... The undead has played such a big game! I now suspect that Mathubad was adopted when he was adopted. By that time, we have already fallen into the undead’s plan!”

"Now it's useless for us to think so much." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ryan shook his head: "You can't blame Lawn completely for this matter. He was also under pressure. Who didn't have a young age? It's the undead. Having taken advantage of this abandoned child, now we have no choice but to expose Mahhubard’s conspiracy and save this country.”

"Kurona is stationed with a large number of troops and a whole team of Holy Grail Knights. The city has high walls and is equipped with a large number of defensive weapons. Although Raun has mobilized a lot of defenders, Mahhubard is not that willing to capture Kurona. Easy." Morgiana, the Lake God Witch, was holding the potion Holy Grail in her hand. Her face was a little pale, obviously because she had consumed too much magic power in the previous battle: "So don't worry, please take a good rest and wait until the new recruitment army arrives. , let’s go to Kurona immediately to stop Mahhubard’s conspiracy!”

"Yes!" Everyone nodded together.

"Will Eislay help us?" Ryan asked while Aralos was still there.

"Eslay will assist you until the undead are completely expelled." Aralos the Hero nodded, but he said rather arrogantly: "But Islay also has a condition."

"Say." Ryan sat still. The wood elf obviously would not help him without reason. The conditions were definitely there, it just depended on how they were negotiated.

"We are going to build a new observation station in Mousilon, close to the Arden Forest, covering an area of ​​five hectares. We can choose a place where no one is around." Aralos made the wood elves' conditions: "We can help you monitor Arden. The movements of forest beastmen can also be collected..."

"Collect amber, right?" Ryan said angrily: "I can promise you to build an observation station, but since you want to live in my territory, you must abide by my laws and regulations. You cannot abduct children or eliminate them at will. Can a hunter who enters the forest to hunt not harm the humans passing by?"

"The Arden Forest is not Athel Loren, this is not our home at all." Alaros immediately retorted: "We just need to build a jungle cellar to store supplies, and build a root exit of the World Tree to ensure When the 'Shadow Evil' Morgul appears, we can quickly send out an army."

After saying that, Aralos said with some pride: "You need the help of Islay, friend Ryan, the wood elves can help you speed up the corruption of this land. As long as we guide the power of the Oak of Ages to purify this place, it doesn't take a few In a few months, Musilon, which has lost the source of corruption, will return to its grandeur a thousand years ago, and Eislay never lies."

"Well...if you can abide by my rules, then there is no problem in setting aside a piece of land to build an observation station for you." This sentence really touched Ryan. The ability of the Era Oak to purify corrosion is unparalleled, and the most important thing is Yes, the way the Wood Elves purify this land is not to destroy it. They only need to use amber to inspire the power of the Oak of Ages and then sow seeds here. The power of life will make Mousilon the richest and most powerful principality in Britannia again. In Landuin's time, this place was once fertile and wild.

If humans were to do this, the entire land would be burned with fire and blessed salt. The land would be purified, but the land would be completely destroyed and would have to be rebuilt.

"We promise to abide by your rules, then... it's a deal." Aralos stretched out his hand.

"make a deal."

.........I am the dividing line in the transaction with Green Chaos......

In late April, Mathubad led an army of knights and marched towards Curona.

He pulled the reins of his war horse with great satisfaction. He was covered in black cursed armor, and Mahhubard, who was holding the serpent sword, was not wearing a helmet. He was humming the ancient hymn of the Blood Dragon family and was in a great mood.

Because nothing can stop him from ascending to the throne at this time.

Raun was seriously injured and dying, his whereabouts were unknown, and the northern knightly army had fallen apart.

Carlos, the Great Demon of Tzeentch, has agreed to deal with Lion. The Chivalry Army in the South has also been frustrated in the war. The Spire Palace has been recaptured (turned into ruins). Lion has lost another battle with the Demon Army of Tzeentch, and has now withdrawn to the Forest of Charon. After all the troops were waiting for reinforcements, Carlos of Tzeentch promised to completely defeat Llane after getting the Lion Lance, so there was no need to worry about the possible attack by the southerners.

So Mahhubard made a prompt decision and decided to lead the undead army to Kurona, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to ascend the throne as king.

He played his own banner and revealed his identity. He publicly declared that he was the legitimate heir of Laune and the legal successor to the title of Duke of Mousilon. He was qualified and deserved to become the King of Britannia. king.

As expected, Mahhubard did not have too much trouble with recruiting troops at all, because a large number of frustrated and notorious rogue knights, forest robbers, rioting serfs and despicable killers swarmed to his banner. Mahhubard soon raised an entire army composed of a large number of living people and undead.

More importantly, Mathubad won the support of many Musilon nobles and the original Musilon nobles south of Lyonnasay. He successfully convinced the original Musilon nobles who had long been treated unequally. The source of all this is the injustice done to them by the kingdom. For their own benefit, they must take action. They believe that Mashubade is indeed the legitimate Duke of Mousilon and can help them in their current predicament. , so these knights and nobles announced that they would respond to Mathhubard's call.

These nobles sent troops one after another and got out of the way.

As the team continued to grow, Mahhubard provoked his own battle for kingship.

The sunshine in early spring was so bright and moving, and the scenery of chirping birds and fragrant flowers was common in the wilderness. The snow began to melt. It was spring again. Mathhubad led all the troops under his command to advance wildly.

The numerous knight castles along the way either sent knights to join their own teams or stayed behind closed doors. With the Northern Knights' army suffering heavy losses, no knight nobles dared to go out of the city to fight with this army.

Mahhubard did not attack these castles but passed by them directly, because after all, he wanted to become the king rather than destroy the country.

In this way, he successfully crossed Lyonnais and drove into the Principality of Le Angoulan. This principality with the coat of arms of the "Blue Sea Monster" principality was already trembling in front of Mathubad. Only some brave people The champion knights or kingdom knights sent a request to Mahubader for a championship duel, and Mousilon's vipers also responded one by one.

Mahhubard, who has completely integrated the skills, strength, and experience of all the Black Holy Grail knights, is unmatched. All the Breton knights who challenged him were killed by him on the spot. Mousilon's poisonous snake magnanimously let go. After passing the families and castles of those challengers, he generously said that if you oppose me, then challenge me. I will not refuse any challenge.

As Mahhubard said, he did not commit any acts of burning, killing or looting along the way. He just sent out invitations to the championship showdown over and over again and defeated his opponents. His behavior was quickly recognized by his own people.

It seems that Mathhubard is really the one who has been treated unfairly. He just wants to get his things back. Under his leadership, Britannia can really usher in a new era.

The morale of this army has greatly increased as a result, and speculators firmly believe that Mathubad will become the new King of Britannia!

It took two weeks for Mahhubard and his army to gradually approach Kurona. In the military formation, the knights sang Mahhubard's newly composed military song.

"The waves of the Sandness River are turbulent, and the gray mountains are flying with clouds~"

"In this dim world, I am independent, my righteous indignation burns and my blood surges~"

"The rich and powerful only know their proud family background, but there are really few people among them who care about the country~"

…………

"The knights march under the blue sky, the armies unite for justice!"

"I have millions of soldiers in my chest. When I die, my iris feathers will fly away!"

"The sky is furious and the earth is shaking, and the roaring is very loud!"

"Those who sleep in eternal calamity cannot sleep. A new king is rising now!"

Mathubad was riding on his undead war horse. The afternoon sun was so dazzling. He looked around and saw that his legions covered the entire wilderness, with colorful family heraldic flags and battle flags standing everywhere. The soldiers all obeyed their orders and their own command, and one piece of armor after another emitted a dazzling light under the reflection of the sun...

Curona is not far away, and the defenders of dozens of castles and towns have been frightened by Mathubad and dare not go out to fight. Every knight who dared to challenge himself has been defeated. Tens of thousands of troops are in hand, and they are far away from the throne. There was only one step left, and the anxiety and irritability that had been suppressed by Ryan finally disappeared without a trace in Mathubad's chest.

For some reason, Mahhubard only felt warm all over his body, and he could feel an empty sense of satisfaction all over his body.

So cool! It feels like life has reached its peak!
