The Sun King's Evidence

After dinner, it started to rain lightly in the Claw Forest. April is the spring season in the Claw Forest. The thin and dense rain watered and moistened the land of the Claw Forest. Under the dense shade of the trees, water droplets splashed everywhere, and the plants The broad leaves were splashed with rainwater, and the pattering sound resounded throughout the camp. The soldiers who had been entertaining and resting in the camp had to return to their tents to hide from the rain. The knights also gave up their activities in the camp. , hide in the eaves or tent to rest.

Fortunately, the dwarf engineers and craftsmen of the Angland clan were very knowledgeable about camping. The camp they set up had drainage ditches, and the camp was built halfway up the mountain, so it was not affected by possible floods.

In this rainy environment, Ryan and the Lake Fairy walked one after another in the expeditionary camp. All the rainwater approaching them bypassed them in weird arcs in the air. In the light rain, Ryan and The lake fairy walks in the camp, which creates a unique mood.

The forest floor was a little muddy, but both Ryan and the Lake Fairy were walking on flat ground, and the splashes of muddy water did not splash the corners of their clothes at all.

"Your command is still very strict. I know what happened before, and you handled it without any problems. The spirit of chivalry is the foundation of Britannia. If you start from this matter, no one can raise objections." The Fairy in the Lake confirmed Ryan's decision: "Thousands of years have passed, and the spirit of chivalry has gradually deteriorated. Especially now in wartime, military discipline must be strictly controlled. I support you. If this happens again in the future, you will tell the knight. You guys, this is my will."

"Thank you." The expression on Ryan's face became much more relaxed. This is the king's unique advantage. He can always get the unconditional support of the fairy in the lake. The goddess's will supports the king's decision, but Ryan knows that it is the same thing. It's another thing to say it from the fairy's own mouth.

While talking, the two walked to the Old Guard camp. The Old Guard camp, which had just had dinner, was still very solemn in the rain. When Ryan approached, the patrolling Old Guards couldn't see clearly in the rain. The man immediately raised his blunderbuss at them: "Who is it! Name me! Otherwise, I will kill you on the spot!"

"Which battalion are you from?" Ryan shouted loudly.

The Old Guard consists of four battalions: a battalion of halberdier infantry, a battalion of two-handed swordsmen, a battalion of musketeers and a battalion of dragoons.

"We are from the Gunnery Battalion of the Old Guard...Ah, it's Your Majesty!" The Old Guard quickly recognized Ryan's voice, and they quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Having seen Your Majesty, we will open the door for you immediately!"

"Yes." The door of the wooden temporary military camp opened, and Ryan motioned to the old guards guarding the door to keep quiet: "Madam, please."

"Okay." The Fairy in the Lake glanced at Ryan's direct army with interest. Almost all the Old Guards came from serfs and freedmen families. These elites who had experienced hundreds of battles stood together, full of energy. And they all straightened their waists and saluted the military salute. Their expressions could not conceal their shock after hearing the lady mentioned by Ryan and seeing the fairy in the lake, but no one left their posts without permission.

Ryan waved his hand to the Old Guards to get out of the way, and the King and Goddess paid a private visit incognito and inspected the barracks.

The situation is still good. These civilians, the Old Guards, have always been subject to extremely strict control, and they also know very well that as serfs, they have great opportunities to become such "glorious freemen" and be knighted as they are today. It is not easy, and Ryan never forgets to control military discipline. On the one hand, he strictly manages the army, and on the other hand, he also provides several reasonable entertainments.

After a round of inspection, most of the Old Guards were resting, chatting, and maintaining their equipment in the tents. Some were making skewers and making soup together for extra meals, and some were gathering to play cards, chess, and darts. Overall, They said that there was no behavior beyond the regulations or excessive behavior, no one drank, no one relaxed their vigilance on patrol, and there were no women in the camp. Ryan was very satisfied after seeing it, and the fairy in the lake nodded again and again. Finally, they saw Bertrand. He prayed to Tal, the Lord of Nature whom he believed in. After praying, he took the opportunity to read and study. Bertrand knew that he had not experienced systematic military training. Now that he had to command this elite army, he must not fall behind, so he took the time to study. In the past ten years, the cultural level has been very good.

By the way, Raymond actually dug earthworms in the corner of the camp while it was raining. It is said that he learned this when he was a child. The earthworms he dug were used for fishing, which was also a way for the serfs to improve their lives. The knights treated the serfs like fishing. He also turned a blind eye. This was a habit he had developed. When he saw Ryan and the goddess, Raymond was shocked. The fairy in the lake also gently encouraged Raymond to continue working hard and released a magical spell to directly Helped him heal his head injury.

"You should arrange a marriage for Bertrand." Coming out of the Old Guards barracks, the Lake Fairy pursed her lips and snickered thoughtfully: "Or should I arrange it?"

"Let's wait until this expedition is over." Ryan knew what the Lake Fairy meant, and that was how he was included in the system. But now that he and the Lake Fairy are the closest allies, he doesn't need to tell them so clearly: " My lady, do you need to see any other camps?”

"Let's go and have a look at the knight camps and serf infantry regiments of several principalities, as well as the independent regiment of Black Heart Lepp." The fairy in the lake became interested, and she immediately gently released a magical spell: "Let Let's try another way. By the way, you can also tell me in detail about the prophecy of the Strigni girl on the way."

"Okay." Ryan nodded slightly. He really wanted to take this opportunity to inspect the expeditionary army.

In this way, the Lady of the Lake and the King of Knights inspected the camp of the entire expedition army under the cover of divine magic.

The army's camp stretched for several kilometers, and it took more than an hour for one person and one god to walk. In the mist and mist, the fairy in the lake took the initiative to hold Ryan's arm and walked along to inspect the situation.

The ones with the strictest military discipline and the best military discipline are the Poseidon Knights of the Principality of Bordero. Fedmund inherited the tradition of his father, Duke Bodrick, in strictly managing the military. This Holy Grail Knight even dines with ordinary knights. , under his example, the army of the Principality of Bordero maintained strict military discipline, the camp was quiet and solemn, and soldiers patrolled constantly.

Next is the army of the Principality of Bastogne led by Kalad and the army of the Principality of Winford led by Antelm. The armies of these two principalities also have a sense of order. The only difference is the group of Holy Grail Knights of the Brotherhood of Red Dragon Knights. They were gathering together to drink and eat meat, while Antelm allowed small merchants and hawkers to enter the camp to sell and purchase things.

The army with the worst military discipline is the army of the Principality of Belion. Since Theodoric, Duke of Belion, was imprisoned for a long time, the principality has been autonomous for a long time. The knights finally managed to suppress the invasion of Estalia. The soldiers were driven away, and there was no duke to manage the camp. Military discipline was poor, there were many women in the camp, and patrols were lax. Except for a few guards, most of them were hiding from the rain, deserting, and some gathered to gamble.

Finally, there is the independent regiment of Black Heart Rep. The military discipline here is not very good. Ryan even noticed that several Strigni girls who should have been expelled were still playing and singing among the soldiers, providing services, and the soldiers were scolding each other. He used vulgar swear words and made various short jokes about the witch coven. After reading it, Ryan could only shake his head. After all, the black-hearted Repp was a mercenary leader. His method of managing the army was still the same, and he emphasized recklessness. With brotherly loyalty, the troops he entrusted to him began to assimilate after being led by the Border Prince for a period of time.

In contrast, both the knights and the Old Guards led by Ryan personally have unified discipline. The knights and the Old Guards also fight more because of the goddess and the kingdom. They have natural With a strong sense of honor and belief, they are less concerned about personal gains and losses, are more cohesive, can unite together, and form a strict command structure. Once the general is killed or injured in battle, the knight with the highest combined title and strength will immediately take over the command. Rarely does an army suffer a total rout.

After shopping around, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Ryan and the Lake Fairy returned to the king's tent. Olica had made the bed and laid a thick carpet on the floor. The Lake Fairy gently Putting the Holy Grail on the table, she easily sat on the bed. Her long golden hair lay like a waterfall on the white sheets, and her crystal earrings were hung with shining platinum earrings. The goddess turned slightly sideways and raised her calf, and she saw She took off her delicate black silk stockings from her silver high heels, and skillfully straightened out the folds of the stockings on her little feet with her other hand. This was a beautiful landscape, wrapped in black ultra-thin stockings, in the lake. The fairy's beautiful legs looked increasingly smooth and supple, and the nails on her black stockings were painted with pink nail polish.

Ryan, who had zero resistance to this, couldn't help but swallow. The king tried to keep his expression serious: "My lady, what do you think of the prophecy?"

There was a soft sound of rain outside the tent, and the fairy in the lake glanced at Ryan's performance with interest. The goddess couldn't help feeling proud when she thought that she had spent nearly twenty years cultivating Ryan as her partner. , this is a kind of cultivated happiness.

After this expedition is over, she will officially marry him. When the fairy in the lake thought of this, she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart. She motioned to Ryan to sit next to her: "Come here, my champion, you don't have to be so outgoing. "

Hum~Bichi! Orika stood aside, and the dark elf rolled her eyes angrily. She simply kicked off her high heels and climbed onto the bed, hugged Ryan's neck from behind, and lay on his back: "I want to listen too, Master. "

The two of them began to analyze the prophecy about the Strigni girl.

"The two kings undoubtedly refer to you and Belegar." The Fairy of the Lake said softly: "As for the green tide of destruction, there is no doubt that it is the green skin. This is already certain."

"Then what are six o'clock, twelve o'clock, and three o'clock? Is it the time?" Ryan thought carefully. The king touched his chin. Only then did he realize that due to the long expedition and the previous war, his chin had grown A fine stubble.

"No, my champion, if you think about it carefully, an ancient door will be opened for the king, and the power of the ancestors will be soaked in the mountains and seals." The fairy in the lake stretched out a jade finger and pointed it. In the air: "My champion, according to what you said, think carefully, what is the ancestral land, the seal, and the mountains that the king wants to open?"

"Walaya is sad! Wallaya's Gate!" Ryan understood immediately. He subconsciously wanted to stand up, and then noticed that Olica was lying on his back and could only sit: "By the way, Belle Jia told me that there is an ancestral secret passage there in Valaya, which contains the secrets about the goddess Valaya, one of the three main gods of the dwarves, and the secret passage leading directly to the Eight Peaks Mountain, but I want to solve the rune puzzle. But it will take a long time, and Belegar would not have planned to leave from there if he had no other choice... I understand, the greenskins must have sneaked up on us from behind when we were opening the secret passage!"

"Six o'clock, twelve o'clock, and three o'clock are not the time, but the direction!"

"This is the first half of the prophecy." The Lake Fairy continued: "As for the evil moon of Mosribu, it doesn't matter what it is. They are all enemies anyway, whether it is the Skaven, the evil moon clan or the beasts. There is no difference between people, so you don’t really need to care about this.”

Ryan nodded repeatedly: "The second half is next, Huntress, Blood Queen?"

"Ignoring whether the Huntress and the Blood Queen refer to the same person, let's focus on the Huntress first. Since she is a hunter, she must have prey."

"There can only be two kinds of prey. One is the heads of you and Belega, and the other is the secret treasure or something else inside the Valaya Gate." The fairy in the lake nodded: "The last one is blood, which means victory. It’s the Blood Queen, so let’s think about it and rule it out. Who can know the secret of Valaya’s Gate and come at the critical moment of the fierce battle? Who can be the enemy who can be called the Blood Queen?”

Ryan's mind immediately went through all the knowledge he had so far, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "I think about how I should prepare to counterattack."

"Yeah." Seeing that Ryan had guessed it, the Lake Fairy couldn't help but smile. She stretched out her finger: "My champion, go and clean up your beard."

"Ah?" Ryan thought to himself, why don't the women in his backyard like him growing a beard?

"Go and shave it, otherwise it will prick me and it will hurt."

"All right."

…………I am the dividing line between prickly beards……

Imperial calendar year 2512, May, the dwarf capital Karaz-a-Karak, the Eternal Supreme Throne Hall.

The High King of the Dwarves, King of the Eternal Peaks, Thorgrim-the Grudgebearer is eating fish.

The dwarves are not a race that often eats fish, with the exception of Thorgrim. When he was young, the High King used the alias Thorgrim-Ironhelm to travel around the human kingdoms, and was once imprisoned in Middenheim (because Beat up the Elf merchant), worked as a blacksmith in Korona (hired by the knight with a lot of money), and participated in the war against the beasts and greenskins. He has always liked to eat the two-bearded Moros fish produced in the Reik River. This kind of fish has delicious meat. , and less prickly.

The Supreme Throne Hall, which can no longer be described as magnificent, is filled with endless treasures. The wealth in the Throne Hall may be several times greater than all the wealth in the entire Brunswick Palace combined, not to mention the estimated number of treasures in the treasure house. How much wealth, only the wealth in the treasure house of Eight Peaks Mountain can be compared with the wealth in the treasure house of the Supreme King.

What is more surprising is that the top ceiling of the High Throne Hall still has elven-style decorations made of sapphires and diamonds, as well as many ancient elven texts and murals. This is a testimony to the friendship between elves and dwarves before the War of Longbeard. , but now all the dwarves have a very tacit agreement not to talk about it anymore, but not to destroy these decorations.

There were five or six silver cutlery arranged on the table. In order to prevent his white beard from being stained with fish meat and soup, the High King carefully used the cutlery to pick out the fish. These fish were brought as tribute from Brunswick, Thorgreen. Decided to taste the rare delicious food.

"My High King, the Engineers Association is here again to press for funds. They say that many of the watchtowers and artillery emplacements on the Eternal Peak have fallen into disrepair and need to be replaced. The main cannons and flame cannons responsible for defending the gates, and the stone carved dragon mouths also need to be replaced. It needs to be replaced and repaired, and they plan to form a new rotorcraft unit..."

"Oh." Thorgreen responded.

"Supreme King, the news about the Human Empire's attack on Norsca that was rumored some time ago has been confirmed. The army of Osterland will attack Norsca with the assistance of a group of human pirates. Baron Oleg The plan is to attack and destroy the docks along the coast of Norsca in the first step, and to attack the interior of Norsca in the second step, intending to destroy them in one fell swoop..."

"Got it." Thorgreen said in a low voice, indicating to the attendant that he could go down.

"His Majesty the High King, King of Torrent Pass, His Majesty Balentine-Stoneheart announced that Torrent Pass's exploration of Karak-Vahn was a great success. They obtained a large amount of star iron from the Blackwater Lake. The new war The machine workshop and blacksmith workshop are enough to ensure continuous supply for decades, and the production of brand new war machines, steam trains and lava flame cannons has also begun. This incident shocked the Mountain Kingdom. Many people said that the Engineers Association of Riptide Pass , after all, you have to beat me, Eternal Peak, with a hammer."

"This boy Balentine is only five hundred years old this year. He actually dares to lead an army to seize the Star Iron at the bottom of the Blackwater Lake. He is really not afraid of death." Thorgreen muttered: "Selentine died too early, causing Balentine to You don’t know how to stick to the rules and act safely. Sooner or later something will happen if you continue like this... Forget it, you can go down."

Thorgreen continued to eat fish.

"His Majesty the Supreme King, His Majesty the Supreme King!" As soon as he finished speaking, a dwarf ranger rushed in: "Your Majesty the Supreme King, it's bad, Iron Rock has fallen!"

"Huh?" Thorgreen suddenly raised his head, and the white beard of the High King trembled: "What?"

"The expeditionary force led by Belegar Hammer and Lion Malcador captured Iron Rock! They slaughtered the entire greenskin fortress and took away a large amount of obsidian produced in the underground magma lake. The greenskin warlord Gronok -Ironclaw's head was hung on his flag by Belegar!" The ranger said hurriedly: "The remnants of the Iron Claw tribe fled deep into the mountains. Belegar-Ironhammer also said that he was for the Eternal Peak, A lot of hatred has been purged!"

"What!!!" Thorgrim stood up immediately, and the High King's face turned red: "Grimnir's axe, Belegar, who does he think he is, purging my hatred for me? Just him?"

"Cough cough cough..." The Supreme King got excited, coughed a few times, stopped eating, took two deep breaths, and said loudly: "Send additional manpower immediately, and be sure to investigate the real-time situation of this expeditionary army!"

"Yes!" The dwarf ranger retreated.

"Also, get the Big Book of Hatred! Granny's Anvil! If Belegar and his knight allies are defeated, I will have a new hatred to record!"

"yes!"
