The Sun King's Evidence

PS: Updated, the second update today is asking for a guaranteed monthly pass. The emperor is here to wish everyone a happy holiday! happy New Year!

"Lian, when do you plan to withdraw the troops and return to China?" The opinions of the three guards of Badland are relatively mature, so Francois did not object too much. The father-in-law retained his own opinions, but emphasized that Ryan should act within his ability: " This great expedition has been long enough, more than a year."

"We can set off in a week or two." Ryan sat on the main seat, and the King of Knights nodded slowly: "Let the army rest for a while."

"Everyone is tired, but everyone hopes to start awarding rewards as soon as possible." Francois touched his goatee, and his father-in-law said with emotion: "I really didn't expect it, Ryan, you did it, you did it ten times." Conquer the Badlands, bring war to the Greenskins, and bring wealth back to Britannia, as generations of Knight-Kings have failed to do."

"The rewards will not be small, but we always have to give the dwarves enough time to count their wealth." Ryan smiled and nodded repeatedly. This battle has established Ryan's absolute prestige, and he has made enough money. The king's mood is indeed very good.

There is no need to delay any longer, prepare to return home as soon as possible!

In the next few days, Ryan, Veronica, and Orica lived a very happy life together, waiting for Belegar's notification, and the knightly army also began to pack up and prepare to return.

Imperial calendar year 2512, late December.

After more than a year of the Great Expedition, the Brittanian Knights Army regrouped in the Eight Peaks Mountains. Except for Durant and his less than 300 soldiers who stayed in River Valley Town, the rest The army regrouped and began its return journey.

In the midst of heavy snow, the remaining 12,000 men of the Chivalry Army formed an array on the Eight Peaks Mountain Plateau. Opposite them were all the dwarves of the Angland clan.

Everyone is here.

The ancestral horn of Bafeng Mountain sounded again on the Bafeng Mountain plateau after more than three thousand years.

“Thum~thum~thumthum~thumthum~~~”

"Thump-dong~thump-dong~thump-dong-dong-dong~"

Last night, a grand banquet was held in the ancestral hall of Eight Peaks Mountain, with praises and songs. The epic story of Belegar Hammer and Lion Malcador working together to regain Eight Peaks Mountain will be destined to become the legend of the old world. legend.

And now, the time has come to part ways.

Belegar and his people will devote themselves to the great revival of the Eight Peaks Mountain. The news of their recovery of the Eight Peaks Mountain has spread throughout the old world. Now, many dwarves of the Angland clan and some dwarves who have immigrated to the empire are in Belegar. Under the call and appeal of the Lord, he packed his bags and prepared to return to the Eight Peaks Mountain to build a great cause of rejuvenation. After receiving such a huge gift of wealth, Ryan also prepared to return to Britannia.

The army of knights escorted an astonishing amount of wealth and five thousand sets of dwarf exquisite vibranium rune plate armor, as well as twenty boxes of rare treasures, countless ancient books and many lost technologies.

The dwarf army lined up in several rows and gathered in front of the Titan Gate. Belegar-Ironhammer, now the authentic King of the Eight Peaks Mountain, personally escorted Ryan and others to the gate of Titan Gate. The Knight King and the Dwarf King held hands tightly. , Belega looked at Ryan's half-smiling look, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"Brother Belega." Ryan also smiled: "It's time to say goodbye. Here, I have something to say to you."

"Say it." Belegar nodded slightly. He and his dwarf guards were covered with white snow.

"If you and your tribe have the opportunity to come to Britannia and my castle in the future, remember, Sulia's afternoon tea party starts at four o'clock." Ryan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, Enough beer."

"Hahahahaha~" bursts of laughter came from the dwarf guards.

At the same time, there were some sobbing sounds. The Angland clan has taken root in Britannia for nearly ten years. Finally, relying on the knights, it has realized its dream of regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain. In the past ten years, it has conquered the Blackstone Fortress and La-Maison. The dwarves participated in the Battle of Nell Monastery, the Plague Battle of Helmgart, the Rebellion of Mathubad, and the Battle of Recovering Mousilon.

In the Great Expedition of Eight Peaks Mountain, from the beginning of the Battle of Giant Tower, to the Battle of Castle Castle, the Surprise Battle of Steel Rock, the Battle of Wallaya Gate, the decisive battle of Titan Gate and the final battle of Eight Peaks Mountain, the dwarves We have formed a deep friendship with the knights, and now that we have to say goodbye, many dwarves are very reluctant to part with them.

"We will remember your names, Ryan Macado, Callard de Garament, Fedmond de Bordeaux, Francois de Winfort, and Vero Ms. Nika Bernadotte, and... Ms. Olika, we will all remember your name and believe in the dwarf." Hot tears fell from the corners of Belega's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to hold Ryan's hand: "Also, we will remember those soldiers who sacrificed their lives to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain. We will all remember it."

"Yeah, it's time to leave." Ryan sighed softly. He stretched out his other hand and patted Belega's iron glove gently. He was about to turn around, but suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Brother Belegar, I have one last thing to ask you."

"Next time, don't dig so deep." Ryan said this with a smile.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Amid the laughter of the dwarves, the Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains officially came to an end, and the army embarked on its return journey.

Belega also said that when things are almost done on the Eight Peaks Mountains, he will send a team of "mustache" to Britannia to find Ryan, and they will go to Marienburg together to find trouble for those business princes, and the Empire The dwarves will also respond, and the dwarves of the Mountain Kingdom will put pressure on Marienburg.

The Chivalry army left the Eight Peaks Mountains in late December and embarked on the return journey. It took them two weeks to first reach Valaya's Heartbreak, and then reach the Iron Rock on the edge of the Roof of the World Mountains.

At this time, the entire city of Steel Rock had been abandoned for several months, and the powerful Iron Claw tribe had been almost completely wiped out. After Ryan led the army to inspect this place, he immediately fell in love with Steel Rock's unique geographical location. Here Backed by mountains, water, and an entire forest, it is relatively comfortable for humans to live here. It is also a famous pig iron producing area with unfathomable pig iron reserves, otherwise it would not be called Steel Rock.

And more importantly, there is a large magma lake under the steel rock, which contains extremely rich obsidian minerals. As long as it can be captured, a continuous stream of obsidian can be produced. This is another amazing financial income. Obsidian can be used Craft weapons and equipment, war machines and even fortress foundation stones.

The location of Steel Rock is an important node between Bafeng Mountain and Junku Castle. After careful consideration, Ryan decided to set up the third guard station here.

Since then, the three guards of Badland have been constructed, namely the Army Guard, the Iron Guard and the Eighth Peak Guard. Ryan plans to set up a Marquis of the Border here, but who will stay has to wait to return to the country for discussion. However, Baron Lucien of the Spire Palace seems to be interested in I am very interested in this position, and Ryan is still weighing it. After all, this position is very important. Being stationed in a bad place, far away from the country, and often facing green skin attacks means that this position will enjoy great autonomy. Including financial and appointment rights.

Like the Empire, Britannia also has the position of border nobility. The empire is called the border count. The emperor or elector allows the border count to organize his own army to defend against possible invasions, and can conduct military operations without permission from his superiors. You can keep part of the taxes for your own use without having to pay them over, and you also have relatively independent enfeoffment rights for lower-level lords.

However, the premise of everything is that the border count must guard his territory and manage his territory well, otherwise the emperor can strip the title of nobility at any time.

This title in Britannia is called Marquis of the Borders. The most typical one is the Marquis of Anchy who died in the Battle of Arden Forest. He is the Marquis of Glaswegl. His fiefdom is the area of ​​Glasgow Castle near the Arden Forest. The Marquis of Britannia, who was specifically responsible for resisting the beastmen of the Arden Forest, could also assemble troops and build fortifications and initiate war without the permission of his superiors.

Ryan originally wanted to playfully refer to the three guards of the Badlands as the "Guardian of the Badlands" or "Dusi of the Badlands", but after thinking about it, he had no choice but to give up. The role of the three guards of the Badlands is to help the dwarves. Able to withstand the attacks of the greenskins and Skaven, when one day the dwarf population recovers and is able to protect itself, the three guards of the Badlands should be abolished and cancelled.

Well, one day, anyway, not now or in the next few decades, Ryan thought it would be good to have such a place. In the next few years, the Knight Kingdom can live and work in peace and contentment, recuperate, and those knights who are full of expeditions and battles will also have a place to go. , will not start doing things because there is no place to use the energy.

After seeing the Steel Rock, Lane continued to lead the army to retreat westward along the Badwater River. Here, Gerald led Francois's reinforcements and the army left behind at the Army Castle, and the Knights Road Expeditionary Army was in Badwater. The meeting was completed on the banks of the Water River.

After the Great Crusade, when the old guard with tattered robes and weather-beaten faces met the knight errant sent out to patrol by Jerrod on the banks of the Badwater River, both sides were in a dilemma. The knight errant immediately dismounted, stretched out his hand and spoke to the old guard. The Guardsmen held each other tightly, and the afterglow of the Great Crusade was so dazzling. The two armies that first came into contact circled around fried eggs, bread, sardines and macaroni. People sang and danced. Celebrating the victory of the Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains.

This scene was painted on the spot by the knights and nobles who accompanied the army and were good at painting. It was called "Meeting at the Badwater River". It later became a first-class national treasure of the Kingdom of Britannia and was collected in the Holy Grail Cathedral in Curona.

Afterwards, the army of knights who joined forces, led by Ryan, Francois and Kalad, took the opportunity to kill the Goblin warlord Grabanac-Sourweed (who was born in the same batch as Kit-Sourweed) who came after hearing the news. The Goblin) and the tribal army it wanted to plunder the expeditionary force were completely destroyed, adding a lot of wealth to the wealth brought back by the expeditionary force.

In this way, when the time came to mid-January, the expedition army finally arrived at Barak-Haimen Pass.

The army roared in victory, and even Ryan himself couldn't help but laugh. The knights all blushed, praising the wise leadership of the King of Knights, the blessing of the fairy in the lake, and even the serf soldiers. They couldn't help but shed tears for the rest of their lives. Under the great victory, numerous achievements, and generous captures, there were countless huge sacrifices.

But what the knight master and the serf soldiers didn't expect was that as they gradually approached Haimen Pass, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The gate of the city slowly opened, accompanied by the loud sound of horns. Thousands of Eternal Peak "Eternal Guards" equipped with dwarf finely crafted rune plate armor and holding giant hammers, several hammer warrior brigades, several iron-breaking warrior brigades and Countless dwarf armies slowly marched out from inside, and the knights could clearly see the dazzling light emanating from the throne of the High King located in the center of the dwarf army's front line.

"High King! Thorgrim?!"

"Why does he appear here?"
