The Sun King's Evidence

Musilon in July is extremely hot. The venomous sunshine illuminates the land. Strong winds blow outside the city of Musilon. The air is filled with a fiery breath. Under the high temperature, the troops stationed here also feel very uncomfortable. Irritated, the wood elves retreated into the nearby forest to escape the summer heat. The dwarves set up a camp in a shady area, where they drank, bragged and farted together shirtless, and gambled by the way.

As for the human camp, it was built not far from the Mousilon Castle. The numerous camps formed a magnificent landscape. The human soldiers were sweating profusely on duty and patrolling back and forth. The knights gathered together in twos and threes. , discussing the recent war and the dilemmas of war.

The big tent belonging to Ryan is naturally very spacious. The Lake God Witch Morgiana kept her word. She led the Lake God Prophets to make a larger and more luxurious tent for Ryan, and they did not charge Ryan any money. Now Ryan We live in a 5X7 tent.

The big tent is divided into an outer room and an inner room. With Teresa's help, floor-standing air conditioners driven by magic were installed. Ryan also thought it was too hot outside, so he stayed inside the tent to blow on the air conditioner and drink cold drinks.

After a week of futile onslaught, the weather was hot and the army was exhausted. Lane had no choice but to order a rest. He sent scouts to re-examine the terrain and landforms near Mousilon, and temporarily stood still and waited for news.

In the inner room, the air conditioner was blowing cold air. Ryan leaned back on the chair leisurely and tasted the ice-cold orange juice. He let out a light breath and put the irritability of the current unfavorable battle situation out of his mind. He knew that it was useless to be anxious now. A strong attack was considered It is not advisable to attack again at this time, except for the loss of the army. In such a hot season, the soldiers are often prone to dehydration and fatigue after fighting for about three hours. This army has been fighting with Ryan for several months. , Ryan also felt that he should not be too forced.

"Huh~ I like this~" Veronica was wearing a white sand coral ice cirrus low-cut skirt that covered her hips. Since there were no outsiders in the room, this outfit was quite bold. The skirt was as short as twenty centimeters above her knees. A pair of long and delicate legs were rarely worn without stockings. A pair of beautiful nails with red nail polish were dangling in front of Ryan's eyes. The sweet-looking Witch of Gloria with a blush on her face was holding a cup in her hand. Ice-cold plum juice, the air conditioner blowing on, leaning back on the reclining leisure chair, enjoying the leisure moment in the afternoon, Veronica's smart almond eyes turned left and right, and her long dark brown shawl hair was as smooth as silk. : "Dear, still can't think of a way?"

"No." Ryan leaned back on the chair with some boredom, enjoying the cold air from the air conditioner: "This army has been tired after fighting for a long time, and now only Mu Silon is left with a hard nut to crack. Slowly Come on, the weather has been too hot recently, let’s take a rest for two days.”

"Uh-huh~" Veronica drank the juice lazily. She stretched out her little foot and gently kicked Ryan: "My suggestion is that it is best to end this war as soon as possible, end the war as soon as possible, and recruit spring plowing The impact of a large number of serfs will be reduced, and our food reserves have begun to decrease, and... sister Sulia is about to give birth, right? As a father, it is best for you to end the war before the child is born. "

Ryan smiled and nodded when he heard this.

The Duke knew in his heart that Veronica was actually nearly ten years older than Sulia, but the witch had always been called Mrs. Sulia or Sister Sulia. She knew very well that some things could be fought for, and some things could be touched. No, smart witches always know how to avoid minefields, and judging from these three suggestions alone, Veronica's summary is very concise and accurate. Whether as a lord, a coach or a husband, Ryan must conquer Mu Xi as soon as possible Long Castle.

"Indeed, I have stored enough food before, but I can't support these tens of thousands of people eating horse chews all day long." Ryan also knew the problem. He leaned on the chair and closed his eyes: "But there is no clue at the moment, Percy Lord Mond even suggested that several of us Holy Grail Knights raid the city together, but this sounds unrealistic."

"Why?" Veronica asked curiously.

"Do you think the Pegasus knights of the Kingdom haven't tried it in all these years?" Ryan shook his head helplessly: "The sky above Musilon is protected by undead magic, and if we want to land over a city wall dozens of meters high, it's simply impossible. Turning into several giant living targets, we can face the attack of undead magic. Our mounts are not good, and Kalad and Bohemond both ride pure-blood elf war horses. Only I ride a griffon, and Francois rides a pure-blooded elf war horse. Blood Pegasus."

One of the first twelve Holy Grail Knights, the first Duke of Palavon, Argilgal, died in battle on the peaks of Palavon more than 80 years after Arthur's death. He rode a Pegasus and a two-legged flying dragon. After fighting, he successfully killed the flying dragon. Before dying, the flying dragon also seriously injured the Pegasus under him. One of the first-generation Holy Grail knights fell from a height of several thousand meters and died alive.

The two chatted for a while, and Ryan could see that the witch enjoyed this afternoon time. Since the Lake God Witch Morgiana stayed in Kurona to treat Raun, the main spell caster in the series of battles to regain Mousilon was Vero. Nica and Teresa's coven.

By the way, Orion, the king of the forest, also left. Orion left Aralos to continue commanding the army. Hagen, the Duke of Gisoleaux, and Bodrick, the Duke of Bordero, both left for business.

On the contrary, the Templar Alfred led a team of mixed paladins and ascetics to support Ryan. Alfred said that he would also contribute to the recovery of Mousilon and the elimination of the undead.

There was a noise outside the tent, and both Ryan and Veronica focused on the door of the inner room.

"Okay! You two can drink juice and chat leisurely here, and I will run back and forth to assemble the air conditioner for them." The tall figure of the sorceress appeared from the door of the inner room. She was full of joy when she saw Ryan and Veronica. She felt very uncomfortable while chatting leisurely and sipping cold drinks. Teresa put her hands on her hips and said, "Give me a plastic surgery too!"

"Come on, come on." Ryan stood up, took the bottle of juice from the table with a smile, added ice cubes to the mug and poured a full cup for Teresa: "Thank you for your hard work!"

The sorceress was wearing a white patterned slim-fitting blouse today, paired with black tight trousers. She had quite the temperament of a strong woman. She reached out to take the cup from Ryan's hand, drank the juice in one gulp, and grew a Tone: "Phew, it's such a hot weather, I don't even want to move."

"Then I allow you to rest until night." Ryan said with a smile: "This is Duke Mousilon's personal promise!"

"Hmph~ I can rest when I want, why do I need your permission!" Teresa put her hands on her hips and gave Ryan a hygiene look. She sat on the soft big bed quite naturally and kicked off her leather boots: " It’s really annoying to be outside in this kind of weather.”

"This is Musilon, Trovik~" Veronica teased: "The Duke is right in front of you. You are so arrogant in the Duke's land. Be careful to be punished. Even if you are Ryan's female courtier, You will also be severely 'punished'!"

"Punish him if he wants to. What does it have to do with you?" Teresa almost instantly thought of what Ryan's "punishment" would be, because she had been "punished" often recently. The sorceress quickly retorted: "This has nothing to do with you. It doesn’t matter, Veronica!”

"Ha~ Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you in this weather." Veronica picked up the juice and took a sip: "What news has our little princess brought us?"

"Well, Theresa, is there any news from the scouts?" Ryan also nodded, he was concerned about this issue.

"The wood elves are indeed powerful." Teresa nodded, and she told all what she saw and heard with some pride: "Alaros led the rangers and wild forest rangers along the Grismo Through Ruihe's investigation, they opened up the roots of the oak tree of the times, and actually found a secret underground river that led directly to the city wall of Mousilon, where the undead had built a culvert."

"Underdrain..." Ryan's eyes lit up, and he thought about the problem carefully.

"Yes, the culvert." The sorceress was very proud of this harvest. She whispered: "The water in the culvert is very fast, and it is basically impossible for mortals to pass through it. But I have a suggestion, Ryan. I can use the frozen river water to create freezing floods. , poured into the culvert, and flooded Mu Xilong!"

"Ling Xun?" The relaxed expression on Ryan's face gradually turned serious.

"Ling Xun? Trovik is out of his mind." Veronica immediately stood up after hearing the news. She put on high heels and walked around the room. The Gloria Witch thought for five minutes and immediately said: "No, We should not create Ling Flood, we should let Trovik freeze the underground river to temporarily open the channel, and then transport the explosive gunpowder I made into the culvert!"

"Use gunpowder to blow up the city wall?" Ryan thought about it carefully and stood up: "Well, Theresa, you have a good rest first. In the evening, I will call everyone for a meeting to discuss what to do!"

"Okay." The sorceress was indeed very tired, and she wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while.

"Get up, Trovik." Unexpectedly, Veronica came to the bed, and Witch Gloria's face turned red: "Get up quickly!"

"What are you going to do again? Veronica?" the sorceress asked strangely.

"You're holding something against me!" Veronica motioned to Teresa to get up. Witch of Gloria reached out and took out a pair of flesh-colored stockings from under the quilt, then sat down and slowly put them on: "Damn, these stockings are very expensive. Yes, I almost broke your seat."

"???" Teresa's face suddenly turned red: "You..."

"Hey, hey, dear Theresa, have a good rest." Ryan gently patted the sorceress's shoulder and kissed her on the mouth: "Let's have a meeting tonight to discuss what to do."

"Um."

…………I am the dividing line to discuss what to do…………

That night, in the camp, all the Holy Grail knights including Ryan and others, his two female courtiers, Belegar-Ironhammer, the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain, Araloth, the lord of Tasien Woodland, and those who arrived with reinforcements Templar Alfred gathered to discuss the new military situation.

"Thanks to the help of His Excellency Alaros and his rangers, we have detected a culvert under the wall of Mousilon." Ryan sat in the middle and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, we now have two methods for this culvert. A plan.”

"First of all, Ms. Teresa Trowick can create a flood by freezing the upper reaches of the Graysmoray River. After squeezing enough river water through the flood, the river water will flow back into Musilon City, and the entire city can be destroyed. Every castle is submerged in the water."

"Is it the plan to flood Mousilon?" Francois nodded. The father-in-law thought carefully for a while and decided not to express his position for the time being: "What about the second plan?"

"The second plan was proposed by Ms. Veronica Bernadotte. We can transport a large amount of gunpowder and put the gunpowder into the culvert to detonate. Theresa will help us freeze the culvert and open the channel. After accumulating enough After being injected with gunpowder with fire magic elements, it detonated and blew down the city wall." Ryan continued: "Besides these two plans, do you have any other opinions?"

"Then blow it up!" Berhemond was the first to express his opinion. He said loudly: "Blow down the city wall! The knights rush in directly! I don't believe what the undead can do!"

"Yes." Ryan said he understood. He turned his attention to Belega. Belega was the best at attacking cities. He hoped to hear more of his opinions: "Brother Belega, what do you think?"

"Oh haha~" Belega stretched out his hand and stroked his white beard. He thought for a while and then said: "Listen to me, Brother Ryan, flooding has its advantages, and explosion has its advantages. You listen to me. Speak slowly."

"If we create a flood and flood Mu Silon, the advantage is that the entire city will be flooded. Over time, the undead army will suffer a huge blow, and we can conquer the castle without losing too many troops. As for the disadvantages, , that is, the method of flooding is that the first is that it will take a long time, and we need to be prepared to besiege Musilon for a long time. The second is that the undead are not too afraid of flooding. Maybe most of the people we drown are civilians. "

"If we choose to use gunpowder to blow up the city wall, the advantage is that the effect is quick and the time is short. We can fight the undead immediately. The disadvantage is that it cannot help us weaken the strength of the undead and reduce their number during the siege. Even if the explosion is After opening the city wall, we still have to go through a hard battle."

"The decision is yours, Brother Lane." Belega concluded.

Everyone fell into silence, and Ryan also carefully considered the pros and cons.

"I suggest using explosives." Francois spoke, and the father-in-law shook his head: "We can't wait any longer. Ryan, let's make a quick decision. Our food reserves have been greatly reduced. If there is flooding, we will be under siege for a long time." , I don’t know how long this will last, the soldiers are very tired after fighting for a long time, it’s better to resolve the battle as soon as possible.”

"Yes, and there are still many living people in the castle." Ryan nodded. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Francois's words made sense: "The flooding lasted too long, which is not in line with our goal of ending the war as soon as possible, and Food is getting less and less, and we can’t delay it any longer.”

After saying that, Ryan stood up: "I decided to use gunpowder to blow up the city wall!"

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in response, and Belegar immediately began to formulate an siege plan, considering how much gunpowder would be needed, how long the culvert would be frozen, how to hide it from vampire detection, and when would be the best time to take action.

At this time, a heavily armed figure walked out of the crowd. He had blond hair and blue eyes, and his face was full of sunshine and enthusiasm.

"Duke Ryan, leave it to me to detonate the gunpowder!"
