The Sun King's Evidence

The army of five hundred people did not choose to station on the shore of the Moon Lake. This was courting death. They chose to station in a basin two to three hundred meters away from the Moon Lake.

Compared with the army that Ryan saw in Kalzenhaven, this army composed of Miljordenhaven's standing army and conscripts is better equipped and has stronger overall strength. In terms of camping alone, their hands and feet are flexible. Well trained, a camp quickly took shape in their hands.

The next thing is very simple, get water, chop wood, cook, and then prepare to take an early rest.

There were whispers in the camp, and the soldiers had no confidence in the possible encounter tomorrow. Everyone gathered around Nikolai, the knight of the kingdom whom they were familiar with, and discussed in low voices while warming themselves over the fire and eating.

"Lord Nikolai, is the war going to start tomorrow?" a young soldier asked cautiously.

"What nonsense are you talking about, brat? If there's no war, what are we doing here?" A veteran said unceremoniously and cursed.

"...I'm just asking." The recruit said with uneasiness on his face: "I heard that the barbarian warriors are all believers of Chaos. They eat human flesh, drink human blood, and will tear everything they see into pieces. Then we Will you survive tomorrow?"

"Who knows? We, Mjödenheide, are already located in the south of Nord. I really don't understand why the damn barbarians would come here!" The soldiers babbled. They put down their weapons and ate the food. Wearing military rations.

"..." Ryan frowned. Even though these soldiers were better equipped and stronger, their morale was not as good as those of the veterans in the northern city.

He glanced at Nikolai and signaled him to say something. Ryan's current status was more like a guest general. He was not suitable to directly command the army below Nikolai, a knight of the kingdom.

The desire to have one's own territory and one's own army has never been so strong.

"You idiots, can't you use your brains and think about it?" Nikolai immediately understood and cursed the soldiers angrily: "If you think about it carefully, won't the barbarians come to your door if we don't go out to fight?"

This makes sense, and most soldiers immediately understood the cause-and-effect relationship.

"I tell you, it's impossible! Whether we go out to fight or not, these damn barbarians will rush into our city like locusts, kill all our relatives, and steal our food. They will destroy everything we have now. All reduced to ashes!”

The soldiers' eyes became firmer, and everyone knew the outcome of the barbarians rushing into the city.

Many of the young soldiers' eyes had turned blood red and they were breathing heavily.

"Our names will remain on our graves as shameful ones - if anything, we will bear the contemptuous ridicule of those who come after us. Even if we are lucky enough to escape with our lives, we will not be able to defend our hometown and our families. What do we look like? Where are you meeting someone?"

"Kill! Kill all those damn barbarians!!!" A young soldier immediately stood up: "Kill them all!"

"Yes! Destroy them!"

"All barbarians deserve death!"

"Swear to defend our homeland to the death!"

"Defend your hometown! Defend your Earl!"

War is the best patriotic education. Seeing the morale of the soldiers gradually being stimulated, Ryan nodded with satisfaction. Behind these soldiers is their home, their relatives are the reason for them to fight, and their glory is closely connected with their lives. They have no reason not to fight to the death.

The south of Nord is no better than the north. In Nord's northern towns, most civilians' eyes turn blood red when they hear that the northern barbarians are coming.

Ryan left the military camp and walked to the Moon Lake alone to think alone. Gradually, the sky turned dark and the moon rose. Ryan looked at the huge full moon above his head and heard the footsteps behind him: "You have a good father. , Ike.”

"Mr. Lane, I apologize to you again for what I did before." The young wandering knight sighed and appeared behind Lane: "I had already made up my mind not to rely on my father's reputation, but in the end I still Fell in front of reality.”

"Everyone has to face reality. There will always be a day when people bow to reality. If you can't defeat it with your current strength, then just wait for the opportunity." Ryan turned around and looked at the wandering knight standing behind him.

From the moment he saw the Eike Albrecht family emblem, he knew that this boy was the son of the White Wolf Knight Ged, because no one could use that family emblem if he was not a descendant of that person.

"Forgetting profit, coveting reputation, coercing and inducing, I'm really ashamed of your father." Ryan's face was very cold. He looked at Ike, and his sharp eyes almost made the wandering knight ashamed: "You know why I didn't pursue you in the end. Is that group of people responsible?"

"Why?" Wandering Knight replied subconsciously.

"Because... to a certain extent, you have bad intentions but do good things. You dressed up to face the enemy and bought a lot of time for the caravan. If it weren't for your sacrifices, more people might have died." Ryan He set his sights on the Moon Lake in the distance and said calmly: "Furthermore, if it weren't for your forced marriage, I might not have gotten that windfall. So after weighing the outcome, I still feel that there is no need to pursue Gu's case anymore." It’s Desen’s responsibility, he was injured because of the battle with the beastmen, wasn’t he?”

"No matter what, I will dedicate myself to this war." Ike said solemnly. After the young man said these words, he left without looking back: "To wash away my shame."

Ryan nodded, and he walked alone into the depths of the ruins on the shores of Moon Lake.

From just now, something was calling him from the depths of the ruins.

Ryan began to gradually walk deeper into the ruins.

The streets are very narrow, the white walls are full of scratches, and there are traces of battles everywhere. Ryan doesn’t know what happened inside this ruins, but the exploration of countless adventurers for thousands of years has completely lost its original appearance. Every corner of this deserted city has been thoroughly rummaged by humans. Since the Great Holy War, no adventurer has explored this place because every corner has been dug up. After that, there is no need to waste time in this place.

The architectural art of the elves is amazing. No matter where he is, Ryan can always look up and see the moon, and look back and see the Moon Lake.

Following the road paved with thick stones, Ryan climbed up the steps. At the end of the ruins, the voice calling him became clearer and clearer.

He came to an altar.

It is no longer clear which god this ancient altar is dedicated to. Every sculpture has been destroyed and taken away by greedy adventurers. Every piece of exquisite gold foil has been cut and pried away by explorers using knives or sharp blades. The original long The murals in the long gallery that tell the story of the past have been seriously missing. Only the collapsed stone pillars and the brazier on the altar are of no interest, and the preservation is relatively intact.

He was sure that something was calling him here.

The moonlight filled the entire altar, as well as the armor on Ryan's body. The light reflected everywhere, and the family crest on his shoulder kept flashing brightly.

Could it be the goddess of the moon? Ryan was lost in thought.

The Goddess of the Moon was once one of the main gods of human belief before the Great Catastrophe. However, after more than a thousand years of development, this church has long declined. There are still temples of this church in the southern part of the mainland, especially Marienburg and the southern countries. existence, in a bitter cold place like Nord where the residents are in danger for a long time, the Church of the Moon Goddess, which advocates human rights and freedom, cannot find much room for survival.

In fact, the Empire and Britannia don't like the Church of the Moon Goddess either.

While Ryan was thinking, there were footsteps behind him, and a sika deer appeared in front of Ryan. Ryan subconsciously raised his warhammer to signal it to get out of the way, otherwise he would not blame himself for being ruthless.

But the sika deer did not get out of the way. It nodded towards Ryan and then ran towards the small woods on the side.

Ryan thought for a moment and decided to follow.

The fog in the forest is getting thicker and thicker, with a faint fragrance filling the air. Ancient hymns are resounding in the forest, telling the story of the great past of the King of Knights. The forest fairies are singing around a beautiful figure. She is sitting sideways on a tall On the unicorn, he quietly looked at the guests brought by the deer.

"Madam?" About twenty steps away, Ryan had already realized who it was.

The other party didn't answer. Ryan couldn't see the other party's expression clearly in the thick fog. He could only see her beautiful long golden hair that reached her ankles, and a few stars under the sharp corners of the unicorn.

She seemed to be waiting for Ryan's next move.

"I offer you my respect, madam." After a moment of hesitation, Ryan decided to kneel down on one knee and perform a knightly salute to the goddess. No matter what the starting point of her actions, the Lake Fairy was the one who standardized and formulated the Eight Knights. Virtue is that she brought precepts and hope to mankind in this dark age. If the Lake Fairy hadn't helped Arthur, the founding knight, all mankind in Britannia would have perished.

"Ryan, a visitor from outside the territory, the son of Norman, the lord of Auternay, and the godson of Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of the Imperial Griffin. I am very happy to see you." A voice like a clear spring spoke, and every word she spoke They all carry an alluring floral fragrance and a strong sense of oppression. Ryan mustered all his mental power to hear clearly what she said. Moreover, the god spoke Gothic. After a few words, he already had sweat on his forehead. .

"I feel very honored to be received by the lady. What can I do for you?" Ryan really couldn't figure out why the creator of knightly virtues, the patron saint and master of Britannia wanted to meet him. So he spoke carefully.

"Sure enough!" The fairy in the lake raised her hand to help Ryan get up. Every soft voice she made could easily make people fall into an eternal dream: "Very few people can bear to talk to me directly, my Holy Grail Knight. They can’t do it either, I always need to entrust their dreams to them.”

"..." Ryan did not answer. He had not collected enough information. Since he could not understand why the fairy in the lake wanted to see him, it was better to remain silent.

"I have got the answer. Go and continue your fight. I want to remind you that we are outnumbered. Berig is a person blessed by Khorne and is invincible." The fairy in the lake continued, she Where she was, the snow had faded, and countless flowers and grass slowly grew along the path she passed.

"The current situation does not provide the conditions for outsmarting him. I can only try to delay his steps until the imperial reinforcements arrive." Ryan answered simply and straightforwardly.

"Predicting your future always makes me feel very dangerous, as if there is some supreme being watching me coldly... But before the empire's reinforcements arrive, you and Birig will have a final battle. The outcome of this battle will be The victory or defeat will determine the safety of this city and all living things within a radius of dozens of miles." The figure of the fairy in the lake was looming in the mist: "Go and face it, White Wolf Knight, and then you will understand what is true. Chivalric Virtue.”

The prophecies of the Lake Fairy have never failed. She has the powerful ability to peer into the future. Although Ryan doesn't know why she asserted that he and Birig will eventually fight, since she predicted it, it is very likely to happen.

But why should she remind herself? Does she have any purpose in doing this?

"Madam, can you answer my doubts?" Ryan began to vaguely guess what the fairy in the lake wanted to do, so he simply asked directly: "I have always heard that the White Wolf Archbishop Maras said that you are an elf. of gods.”

"You do know a lot, Ryan." Even though it was covered in thick fog, Ryan could feel the change in the tone of the fairy in the lake. She was silent for a long time before continuing: "Honesty is a virtue, I am the Elf God, Not an elf god either.”

"Appreciate further details."

"My world turned into scorched earth and dead silence under the attack of Chaos. The Gate of Chaos swallowed up everything in the main material world. I fought my way out of the siege and spent a long time coming to this world. At that time, I was an elf god."

"However, the elven remnants of this world already have a complete pantheon of gods, and I do not have a place among them. In my observation, humans have higher potential and wisdom than the elves, and they are the main force to fight against chaos in the future. , so I chose to come to the Principality of Carcassonne in Britannia, and you all know what happened after that."

Ryan nodded. Everyone is familiar with the story of Knight King Arthur.

"After hundreds of years of accumulation of human faith, I have become no different from a human god. My most important identity is the patron saint of Britannia, not the goddess of fate of the elves."

"I understand, thank you for your sincerity." Now Ryan felt that he was a villain in vain, and his face was a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and apologized.

"I'm waiting for your choice."

This is today’s update! It shouldn't be too late.
