The Sun King's Evidence

Before Aurora and Theresa came in, Sulia was dealing with internal affairs. After Ryan led the army to leave, all matters of the territory were handed over to Sulia for decision-making, and Sulia also showed that she would not lose. Given François's internal affairs abilities, the female knight's internal affairs abilities have been greatly honed since marrying Ryan, and she is extremely proficient in handling many problems, not to mention that she is also in charge of finances.

"The period after the new year is still a slack period for farming. I order Geffen to seize the time and recruit as many serfs as possible to maintain the speed of digging the canal!"

"Is the new batch of food ready? When it is ready, ask Katzenberg to arrange transportation immediately. The troops on the front line are waiting for the food, so there must be no delay!"

"Also, the patrolling troops must not let down their guard and tell Olivier that now is a critical time. We must pay more attention to the security of Mousilon than ever before!"

"Be careful not to put a large amount of gold and silver into the market all at once. Put it in slowly. Also, tell Steve that the fineness of the coins must be sufficient."

"Let Gasparton pay attention to civil complaints, and there should be no news of the looting of serfs and freedmen. He should also implement strict curfews, pay attention to theft and robbery, and send more manpower."

Orders were sent out one by one by Sulia, and the palace teams appointed by Ryan received the tasks one after another. The beautiful knight queen always had a serious expression. Without Ryan, she had to manage the entire palace well. The Kingdom of Knights is a solid backing for the expeditionary army. , Lidya Su forced herself to sort out everything.

Gasparton, the tax collector of Lane, is already very old. It has been almost twenty years since Lane came to Britannia. This tax collector, who was in his forties at the time, is now an old man in his sixties and has become the Duke of Lane. Afterwards, the white-haired tax official was already a little overwhelmed. Sulia thought that Gasparton could prepare to retire, but this would have to wait until Ryan returned from the expedition and the couple would discuss it together. She and Ryan were one.

The female knight wearing a luxurious queen's dress finished handling the matter at hand. She saw the Lake God Witch Morgiana stepping in from the outside. Today, Morgiana was wearing a smart lilac Lake God Xinlu snow-white fishtail skirt, matched with flesh-colored Wearing ultra-thin pantyhose and pure white high heels, with a flower crown on her head, Sulia and Morgiana have actually been jointly handling all matters for a while: "What's the matter, Morgiana?"

"Ms. Aurora and Ms. Teresa are waiting outside. They said there is a letter from the Emperor of the Empire, which they want to hand over to you to open in person." Morgiana sat next to Sulia, the Lake God Witch's His face was very cold: "Look what this mother and daughter are doing? Ryan and the others are fighting hard on the front line, and they are responsible for delivering messages at the rear."

"Ms. Teresa is not suitable to fight in bad places, and Ms. Aurora...she is only the head of MI7, not Ryan's female courtier or magic advisor. If she doesn't want to go, no one can force her." Su Leah gently stretched out her hand to tuck her waterfall-like long golden curly hair behind her ears, and picked up the tea cup with an elegant expression: "Let them wait outside for a while, let's talk about what to do next."

Morgiana's green eyes flashed brightly, and at this moment, they reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"We have won the Battle of Junku Castle. Currently, a large amount of gold, silver and loot are being continuously transported from Haimen Pass." Sulia carefully reviewed a series of lists, and there were many large-scale seizures. Reporting, the female knight said to the Lake God Witch: "Can the handling fee be appropriately reduced? To encourage the morale of the expeditionary force?"

"...Okay." Morgiana thought for a while and decided to make a concession: "I can reduce it to 12%."

The seizures of the expeditionary force were divided into two parts. Most of the seizures of the knights and nobles were transported back to their territories through their own channels. The knights themselves would not embezzle their own money, but they also had to pay taxes on the seizures. The fairy in the lake's Tithes were also valid on seizures. Even so, the great nobles sold their stolen goods until their hands cramped, and they counted money until they were happy. Francois alone had a treasury filled with the wealth he gained during the war. His father-in-law had recently decided to further promote reforms and even planned to Create a new team of Pegasus Knights.

The capture of serf infantry or free people is different. It is somewhat difficult for their trophies to be safely delivered to their families. Ryan has also taken this into consideration, so the capture of serf infantry and free people sergeants will be sent through the postal system. Yes, the Lake Fairy Church provides a guarantee for this, but an additional 15% handling fee is required.

Relying on tithes and fees alone, the income of the Church of the Lady of the Lake amounts to tens of thousands of gold crowns.

Seeing that Morgiana was willing to give in, a smile appeared on Sulia's exquisite and beautiful face. The Knight Queen knew that only Ryan in the entire kingdom had this kind of energy. When she thought of this, Queen Sulia wore a light dress under her long skirt. The little black silk feet of the colored lace stilettos were gently raised to the toes. The female knight thought for a while and then said: "Also, the next war will become more and more difficult. We must try to ensure the confidence and morale of the kingdom. ...How are the sales of the second tranche of Treasury bonds going?”

"As soon as the second phase of the national debt was sold, 80% of it was sold in three days." Morgiana nodded: "Citizens in many cities such as Curona and Bordeaux enthusiastically bought it, and even many small nobles also bought it. Quite a few.”

"Then prepare to issue the third issue! The third issue of Bafengshan Treasury Bonds is also one-year, with an annual interest rate of 7%." Sulia's green-white jade fingers gently hooked her chin: "As for the amount, the initial reservation is Two hundred thousand gold crowns is enough, we must send a hint that it is first come, first served, and those who come later can only eat soup or even leftovers, and the annual interest rate will be less and less."

"Yes, I think so." Morgiana nodded in agreement. The Lake God Witch thought for a moment and said slowly: "By the way, Sulia, do we need to go to the front line alone?"

"You mean...Laojun?" Sulia quickly understood what Morgiana meant. The female knight said with a half-smile: "My lord, do you want to see Ryan?"

"If it is useful for the expedition, then why not?" A blush flashed across Morgiana's face, and she calmed her tone: "We always want Ryan and the others to know that we are paying attention to them, right?"

"Just send someone from the church. Morgiana, you really don't need to go there in person." Sulia shook her head: "Now that Ryan is gone, he has also taken away the entire territory and even some of the knight nobles of the Knight Kingdom. Now the kingdom is It’s time for you to take charge.”

"Okay." Morgiana gave up the idea when she saw Sulia's firm attitude.

"Let Ms. Aurora and Ms. Theresa come in." Sulia said to Sylvia, the head maid who was standing behind her.

"yes."

Two minutes later, Aurora and Theresa came in, but Sulia and Morgiana were sitting still. Sulia was still looking down at the document, her sea-blue eyes hidden under her golden bangs. Jaina cast a hostile and cold look at Aurora.

Aurora raised her eyebrows when she saw this. What does this mean?

Unlike her mother, Teresa has always been a little afraid of Sulia. The sorceress quickly took the letter from her mother: "Mrs. Sulia, this is a letter from the Emperor of the Empire, asking you to open it personally."

"Bring it here." Sulia stretched out her hand to signal Aurora and her daughter to sit down. She took the letter and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No, Mrs. Surya and Her Majesty Morgiana are the ones who are doing the hard work." Theresa sat down with Aurora: "As soon as we get this, we will send it to you immediately."

"Well, let me see." Sulia opened the letter and read it carefully. Both Morgiana and Aurora were waiting for Sulia's reaction.

After a long while, the female knight let out a deep breath: "His Majesty Karl-Franz really gave me a big problem."

"What did the emperor on the other side of the mountain say?" Morgiana asked first.

"His Majesty Karl wants to hire a Holy Grail Knight to assist the imperial army in clearing the blood pine forest." Sulia hesitated: "Procedurally speaking, the emperor's request is fine, but now..."

"Can't you refuse?" Morgiana asked.

"It's not impossible. His Majesty Karl's inquiry in this kind of private letter gives us room to refuse." Of course, the smart Sulia knew the emperor's purpose of writing this letter: "I just feel that the contract has just been signed, and the empire's number one Isn’t it bad that we refuse the first request?”

"I can set the price a little higher." Morgiana made the suggestion very directly.

"That's not good either." Sulia also shook her head: "All the regulations we signed with the empire have been faithfully fulfilled. If we unilaterally increase the difficulty, then the imperial court will definitely try to take countermeasures. This will happen again and again. , the peaceful situation and trade relations we have finally reached will be severely challenged again."

"In this way, Morgiana, you can increase your request for a certain amount of money. If the empire has no objections, I will inform the Holy Grail Knight Sir Bayar who is responsible for guarding Lily Island and my cousin Sir Gerold to organize a small group of knights. The troops crossed the Gray Mountains to support the empire." Sulia quickly made a decision: "As for the security of Sharon Forest and Oka Mountain, there is no need to worry about this. Uncle Angron and the three... Ryan's father The remaining golden-armored guards are patrolling."

"Yeah." Morgiana nodded in agreement.

"As for Ms. Aurora and Teresa, can you please go to Brunswick? I need to know the sales of national debt and the empire's recent armament and financial situation." Sulia said in the tone of the following order. : "Also, I want to get concrete information about what the imperial nobles think of the Great Expedition on the Eight Peaks Mountains."

"I will send people to deal with it." Aurora said she understood.

"Ms. Aurora, didn't you hear Sulia's order? I asked you to go, not to send your men." Morgiana said impatiently. The look of the Lake God Witch was very cold: "You can agree, too You don’t have to agree, it’s your choice.”

"I will go with mother." Teresa came out to answer the call. The sorceress grabbed Aurora and signaled her mother not to go against Sulia. A trip to the capital of the empire was just a teleportation spell. Wait for a couple of days. Just weeks.

"Very good." Sulia nodded, and the Knight Queen signaled the sorceress and her daughter to get ready.

.........I am Uncle Angron, responsible for patrolling the dividing line of the forest......

In February, the Old World, the Roof Mountains of the World, the Eight Peaks Mountain, and the City of Eight Pillars.

Goblin warlord Git Sourweed finally arrived here after going through many difficulties.

The Eight Peaks Mountain was once the hub and core node of the dwarf earth network, so this city was once the most prosperous and prosperous city of the dwarves. The dwarves once proudly called it Vara-Azrilungal (i.e. Silver Abyss). Queen).

No army in the surface world can scale the towering peaks on which the city sits. The kingdom is located in the middle of a bowl-shaped mountain range surrounded by eight pinnacles, hence the name Mount Eight Peaks. Each pinnacle has a unique name. The upper fortress of the city is located on the surface, at the bottom of a small valley surrounded by eight peaks. A strong and majestic fortress sits in the middle of the valley like an iceberg pinnacle, but most of the city is deep into the mountains. Most of the area is carved out of the rock, with magnificent grand squares and royal halls, and a network of tunnels stretching for countless miles.

The glory of the past has gone far away, and now this place has become an eternal battlefield between the greenskins and the ratmen. In the huge and magnificent hall of the ancestral dwarves, the giant stone pillars with a height of more than a hundred meters are all covered with inferior products made by the goblins. In the wooden sky corridor, the dilapidated dwarf stone sculptures were either pushed down and smashed, or they were reduced to a place where the greenskins collectively defecated, and the stench was overwhelming.

On the ground are one after another green skin tents made of wooden boards and soil. The green skins usually play, fight and curse each other here. It is a mess. The young ones offer the best pickled farts and mushrooms. For the greenskin warlords, when Git Sourweed rode his warg mount that had been replaced twice to the Hall of Ancestors in the Eight Peaks Mountains and wanted to see the war general of the Eight Peaks Skarsnik, there was a scene in the Hall of the Ancestors. There was a huge melee going on. The Orks and Goblins of the Evil Moon clan were having a huge melee, as well as the powerful Arachnari giant spider and a large group of Squig beasts.

Git-Sourweed scratched its head desperately, holding on to its boogers, looking for a way in. Finally, it summoned up all its mana and released one of Brother Mao's Marked Stinky Faces, which made the greenskins get out of the way. Kit-Sour Stomach rushed in quickly.

Skarsnik, the war general of the Eight Peaks Mountain, was sitting on the throne in the ancestral hall of the Angland clan. Standing in the hall were a large group of Night Goblins, the legendary Eight Peaks Mountain fanatics, and a group of black orc troops. Git-Sour Stomach appeared, and Skarsnik smiled evilly and said: "Ha, the lost dog has come to my place! What does a useless person who is not waaagh and cunning enough come to my throne room to do?"

Skarsnik was short, and even wearing a tall pointed cloak could not hide his lack of height. However, no one dared to underestimate this goblin warlord. Look at the black man standing next to the throne room. Orc troops, these legendary heavily armored Orcs were tamed by Skarsnik so obediently that they dare not look directly at the Eight Peaks Mountain War General, otherwise even the Black Orcs will be arranged at any time. Enter the mouth of Skarsnik's beloved squig pet, Gobra, and become his delicious meal.

The candles in the hall are all made of dwarven grease, and the "monument" made of Skaven skulls is a testament to Skarsnik's power.

"No...no, that's not good. The powerful Eight Peaks Warrior, the bearded enemy Belegar-Iron Hammer, brought a group of canned shrimps back...back to the bad land. It is said that this time the canned shrimps were made by a gray canned Ryan Horse. Led by Cardo, this gray can is old waaagh. They conquered Castle Castle and massacred my clan. I...I've come to join you!" Kit-Sourweed told Skarsnik everything about the situation. come out.

"Bellegar? I already knew it." Skarsnik smiled ferociously and cunningly: "Bellegar is back, we have new fun, boys!"

"Waaaagh!"

"waaaaaagh!"

Deafening cheers erupted in the hall, almost breaking the eardrums of the greenskins.

After a slight pause, Skarsnik nodded. He waved his staff and smiled evilly, showing off his rotten yellow teeth: "Hehe~ It's coming very hard, Belega, and he's also bringing a bunch of canned shrimps, but he wants this Defeating me is such a wishful thinking!”

"I have already figured out how to deal with this expeditionary force!"

"That is to carry out all-out guerrilla warfare, prepare for a protracted war, and at the same time strengthen the walls and clear the country!"

"Let this expeditionary force composed of beards and shrimps be submerged in the green sea that belongs to Brother Goge and Mao!"

“waaaagh!!!”
