Warhammer Throne

The wandering knight Lopus and the female knight Sulia immediately raised their halberds and lances and rushed towards the cyclops. Alfred followed closely, and Ryan was about to rush along, but he Was stopped by Julius. Mobile terminal

"Not everything requires the Holy Grail knight to be dispatched, Ryan." Julius shook his head calmly, and then the kingdom knight urged his horse, shouting angrily: "For the lady!"

"..." Ryan's warhammer didn't raise it, nor did it let it go, a bit embarrassing.

"Roar!" The Cyclops raised a large piece of broken stone and threw it towards the crowd. Lopus and Alfred immediately ran away.

The boulder hit the ground and splashed a lot of dust.

The ranger knight shouted in the name of the lake fairy, but his horse was frightened and jumped high, trying to avoid the oncoming rubble.

The young ranger knight is indeed not very good at riding. He issued instructions to his horse to continue forward, but his horse wanted to go back. So in the conflict, the knight was hit by gravel, he and His war horse fell to the ground together, howling ceaselessly.

Fortunately, the full set of plate armor on his body is quite strong, it should be just a flaw, not fatal.

"For Madam!" The female knight Su Liya's long bright golden hair fluttered behind the helmet. She rode her Pegasus to an accelerated charge, riding the lance on the right leg of the Cyclops. The Cyclops immediately launched a counterattack. Su Liya saw Pulling up the reins, Tianma opened its wings and flew quickly, and a beautiful glider dodges the attack.

"Look at me!" Lopus made a cut in the left leg of the Cyclops with his halberd, and then immediately avoided. Alfred wanted to make another sword, and had to see the palm of the Cyclops. Give up the attack and choose to avoid.

They may have to fight a lot to completely defeat this Cyclops, and it only takes one shot for the Cyclops to smash them into meat sauce.

"Woo!" Both the left and right legs of the Cyclops were injured, and it staggered to fall to the ground, so it reached out to support itself.

Julius rushed into the battlefield, and the powerful kingdom knight pointed his lance at the heart of the cyclops. The Pegasus under his seat learned the master's wishes and moved forward at full speed.

The knights of Pegasus and Pegasus brushed past the Cyclops. The sharp lances pierced the Cyclops' chest and then broke. What was left was the Cyclops with his hands on his chest and fell to the ground.

After idling for a round, the Aintree brothers and sisters took out their swords together and gave the Cyclops a fatal blow.

The battle ended soon, leaving only the destroyed windmill and barn.

Several people put away their swords. Ryan noticed that the brothers and sisters Aintree seemed to know the young man. Julius motioned to him to get up, and then said coldly, "Thierry?"

"Chief instructor Julius!" The young man quickly got up and said with some guilty conscience.

"What made you decide to come alone to single out a Cyclops?" Julius's tone was awful. The Cyclops' challenge level is at least an elite high-level monster, and it is not recommended to fight alone.

"This...I'm ashamed. I met a serf who asked me for help, saying that a cyclops came here..." The ranger knight named Thierry was a little ashamed, and said the cause and effect.

It turned out that this young ranger knight named Thierry was only 18 years old and was still studying at Winford College. The young man’s heart was full of passion and a desire to make contributions. He happened to meet the serf’s request for help when he went out for a walk. So he raised his lance without hesitation and rushed towards the Cyclops, without considering the difference in strength and the horror of the Cyclops.

Young people are worthless, Ryan thought with black lines all over his head.

Most of the young ranger knights in Brittany are like this. They rush forward without thinking about the consequences of any enemy they encounter. Therefore, the ranger knights always suffer heavy casualties in the war.

But from another perspective, this is also an effective means to curb the over-expansion of the aristocratic population and the survival of the fittest.

And the aristocratic education of the Knight Kingdom is exactly the same.

"What is a knight without a horse? What is a horse without a knight? This is Bretania, the horse and the knight, the serf and the nobleman."

The First Knight King Arthur

There is nothing that defends the homeland and the country can make knights proud. When evil and darkness approach this land, the knights of Breton will never sit in the castle, stand behind a high wall and wait for death. They will cross. The war horse, raising the lance, bravely confronts any incoming enemies, the chivalry and faith in the lake fairies guarantee that there will be no cowards.

In this regard alone, the nobles of Brittany are stronger than the nobles of the empire, and many nobles still prefer to appoint generals instead of playing on their own.

"Ah! You are Lord Ryan Macado, Knight of the Holy Grail! It's a great honor to see you!" Thierry suddenly recognized Ryan, and he rushed to shake Ryan with excitement. Ryan had no choice but to shake his hand. By the way Asked my own good question: "How come there are cyclops here?"

"I don’t know too well. I heard that recently there are several giants with golden helmets and golden armors in the Baron Jean that often haunt at night. They saw wild orcs hacking, and the orcs tribes that were raging in the Sharon forest recently shunned after suffering heavy casualties. Genn led away, so he came here." Thierry scratched his head helplessly.

"..." Ryan suddenly understood something.

Going to an intersection ahead, Baron Jean showed this in front of Ryan.

The lake fairy treats Ryan not badly. The baronial she arranged for Ryan can already be described as prosperous. A town with a population of about two to three hundred households, fields crisscrossed by paddles, a vineyard and a horse farm, and one standing there. A castle on the hillside.

This is my future territory. Ryan is standing on a high place on a horse, looking at the entire baronial in the distance.

Looking far away, besides the town of Jean, there are still some villages in the field. It is estimated that there should be many villages nearby around the Baron of Jean.

"The Baron Jean has a town and five natural villages. The registered population is about 1,000 households. It has two kingdom knights and five ranger knights under its jurisdiction." Lane took out his baron canonization and wrote in detail. Know the detailed scale of this fief.

"The north of the baronial is the Sharon Forest. There are many tribes of wild orcs in the forest. The east of the baronial is very close to the Duchy of Winford, and the south is bordered by the Duchy of Carcassonne. This side is close to the holy land of the lake nymphs. There will not be too much threat. The northwest along the Chinon River is the direction to the Principality of Polderro, and the southwest is connected to the Principality of Berleón by roads. Mr. Lane, please pay attention to the people from Estalia. The invaders are still fighting with the Duke of Theodoric in the Duchy of Berleon. Please be careful.” This is the advice of the female knight Suria. Then the female knight and her brother took their own people to say goodbye to Ryan and return to themselves. Of the Principality.

It is also said that this place is the place of the Four World Wars. Except for the Duchy of Winford and the Duchy of Kagasong in the south, there may be enemies in many places, and Ryan frowned.

This place is indeed a rich land, but it is also full of challenges.

The process of entering the castle is very simple. After he proved his identity, a nobleman in charge of the custody immediately greeted him. He looked about forty years old with a thick beard: "You must be Lord Ryan, right? ? My name is Gasparton, and I'm the tax officer here."

"Hello!" Ryan stretched out his hand and shook his hand. He had learned from the Brittany court that the Lake Fairy had arranged a tax officer for him. The color of the lake fairy is very strong, but it can be trusted.

This is equivalent to an assistant sent by his lady.

So sometimes the "will not interfere" that the Lake Fairy said is just a polite remark. This goddess has become accustomed to being deeply involved in mortal affairs, and her habits will not be changed so easily, especially if she is the champion of her choice. At most, it is only because of his own strength and importance, and there are some things that can be discussed.

"It's been a hard journey, Mr. Lane, I have arranged for someone to clean the castle, and there are many things that you need to see in person. You can choose to watch it immediately, or you can take a rest and watch it later." Gasparton took it out. After reading a large book of accounts and various things, he asked Ryan.

"I'm going to the castle to see." Ryan nodded, he had better look at some things immediately, but now they have to enter the city first.

At the gate of the town, the citizens and serfs of the whole city were dispatched. In Bretania, the serfs served a lord, and the lord would provide the serf’s residence. In peacetime, the civilian farming would harvest the lord, and the peasants would keep the harvest. Look at his master.

In fact, this was not the case in Brittania before.

During the reigns of Taylor Buddha and the previous Knight Kings, there were still a large number of self-employed farmers in Bretania. Although they were also classified as serfs, their lives would be stronger for the current serfs. At least they owned their own land and did not have to bear it. Exorbitant taxes and corvee also enjoy more power.

However, since the Dol Tower incident, the civil war erupted by the dukes caused the large-scale disappearance of the homesteaders. Although the Knight King Taylor had some countermeasures against this, it is an indisputable fact that the land has been swallowed by the dukes.

After that, John I and John II were real tyrants. After the death of Tyler Buddha, Brittany spent about 130 years under the rule of these two kings. They were so happy and constantly Launched a chivalric war to expedition abroad, even fought the southern wasteland as far as the decisive battle with the green-skinned army.

In the devastating Battle of the Bad River, Bretania lost more than 8,000 knights and 20,000 levies.

Since then, in order to appease the dukes who have suffered huge losses, John I and John II have delegated a lot of power, and the dukes have also swallowed the land of their own farmers. Here, it should be emphasized that whether the Holy Grail rider has nothing to do with the claim for land. Whether the eight virtues are combined has nothing to do with land annexation. The holy grail knights treat serfs at most through relatively low tax rates and land redemption, which does not mean that they will give up land annexation.

Precisely because of this, the serfs did not long for the Holy Grail knight to become the master knight who ruled this territory, because it meant too much.

Many knight lords levied even nine taxes on serfs in addition to the basic rations for 90 payments. Holy Grail knights are generally not so harsh.

In any dispute between serfs, as long as the master knight intervenes, someone will be hanged. The crime is the same regardless of the severity. For the master knight, as long as it is a serf crime, there is no need to worry about the punishment. Only the Holy Grail knights will not. When you are in the audience, justice will be done.

In addition, there are many benefits, which are also many reasons why Ryan was welcomed. The serfs longed for the rule of the Holy Grail Knights sincerely. In the dark age, the Holy Grail Knights were their only remaining light and hope.

It is a pity that the number of holy grail knights is scarce, and most of them are guarding the holy land of the goddess.

There are about three hundred permanent residents in Jin Town. The town is composed of low walls and hundreds of simple houses. However, hotels, restaurants, and various guilds are available. There is also a Salia temple in the town. Barracks.

At the end of the town, you can reach the Baron’s Castle in Ryan through a short mountain road. This castle occupies a large area and is built on the mountainside. Water flows through the back of the mountain. The entire castle is made of huge stone walls and divided into outer parts. There are two parts: the inner court and the inner court. The castle in the inner court is inhabited by the lord’s family and his servants. The towers and walls of the outer court are enough to house the guards and tax officers.

Ryan refused the help of others. He pushed open the heavy door by his own strength. The oncoming dust made both Lopus and Alfred frown. It has been seen in many places in the inner courtyard of the four-story castle. Decay and breakage, but overall you can move in immediately.

"Has Jean had a baron before?" Ryan asked towards Gasparton.

The forty-year-old man immediately replied: "Yes, Mr. Lane, but since a baron died in battle 33 years ago, no baron has been established here, and it is usually managed by the Marquis of Ascot. "

Ryan nodded, baron is not hereditary, this is the same whether it is Bretania or the empire. After a baron dies, the duke can reclaim the territory grandiosely, or use it for himself, or transfer it to others.

The current de jure claim to the Baron Jean is the Marquis of Connery Ascot, who belongs to the Duchy of Winford. He will be the leader in the name of Ryan, of course, only in name. The Knights of the Kingdom are not qualified to order the Knights of the Holy Grail.

The Castle of the Marquis of Ascot is located about 30 kilometers east of the Baron of Jean, in the interior of the Duchy of Winford.

After simply arranging their respective temporary residences, Ryan came to the auditorium in the inner court and said to Gasparton, "Let's get started."

"Okay, Lord Lane."
