Warhammer Throne

Ryan thought about what he did again. He himself probably didn't touch the most sensitive places of the nobles. He could use some excuses to preclude the past for many behaviors, such as new territory, eagerness to serve these excuses. . . .

It can only be said that there are few idiots among the great nobles, and he just ‘showed’ some signs of this. A king’s order came to his hand, which was both a beating, a warning, and at the same time a king’s wooing.

Ryan knew that he had to take people to fight in this battle himself. At this time, he had to keep in step with everyone and ensure that he would not incur collective resentment from the great nobles when he was not on a firm footing. Show some performance to prove your strength.

"If this is the case, then I will personally lead the baronial army to the Valemi camp near the Arden Forest to join the Chivalry army." Ryan made up his mind that what should come is always coming, facing all kinds of troubles. , I can only face the difficulties, not escape.

"I will also go with you." Su Liya said suddenly: "This year's Chivalry War is the turn of the Marquis Connery. He is not a nobleman who is good at military affairs. Father means you will command Winford. army."

"Miss Suria is not necessary..." Ryan seemed to still want to persuade, but the attitude of the'female' knight was very firm: "I will definitely participate in the chivalry war. I am the'woman of the Holy Grail Knight, Duke of Winford. 'Son!"

"Then I can only say, this summer, please give me some advice, dear Miss Suria." Ryan knew that she was determined, so she stopped talking.

The ‘female’ knight did not stay here for long. She was still unmarried and not suitable for spending the night in a man’s house. After a few more words, Su Liya galloped away.

"Mr. Lane... are you going to fight again?" Emilia said worriedly, and the little'maid' walked up to Lane, her big eyes twinkling.

"The only thing that can guarantee our survival in this dark world is war." Ryan looked at the moonlight outside the window and the Midsummer bonfire party, and shook his head gently.

If you want to protect this prosperity, if you want to obtain tranquility and peace, there is only war, and only the constant declaration of war against the darkness.

"You must come back victorious, Mr. Lane." Emilia knew that she couldn't do much. The'girl' child could only stand beside Lane and whispered a blessing.

"Emilia, it's not like I'm going out tomorrow." Ryan smiled bitterly. He ‘touched’ the head of the little ‘maid’ servant: "Study hard, no one bullies you at school, right?"

"No, President Su Liya usually took me with me. The classmates thought I was the'maiden' of President Su Liya, so no one bullied me." Emilia nodded repeatedly,'Female 'The child's face is very satisfied: "Miss Su Liya is the president of the college council. She is really gentle and treats me very well."

"That's good." Ryan didn't say anything anymore, he was obviously on his mind.

Emilia has a feeling that the man in front of her seems to have gradually become more distant from her.

It turned out that when he was in Marienburg, there were only two people at home, she and Ryan. They got along very easily with each other. He often chatted with himself when he was free, and made a joke, even if there were other'girls in the house later on. 'Servant, it didn't affect the relaxed atmosphere.

But now...

The ‘girl’ child looked at Ryan’s background and sighed secretly. She really hoped to help Mr. Ryan.

She made up her mind that she must study hard and strive to help him in the future.

…………

On Midsummer Day, Ryan and his retainers recruited about two hundred infantrymen.

A week later.

Katzenberg stood beside Ryan with his hands on his back: "My baron, we enlisted a total of 207 infantrymen, including 102 pikemen, 41 swords and shields, and 64 archers."

The newly recruited army stood on a flat ground, being inspected by the lord, and receiving new weapons and armor.

In fact, the baron is not very satisfied with these newly recruited soldiers. Most of them are too thin or too ignorant. There are very few qualified recruits who meet the baron’s real needs, but the baron knows that in this world, serfs have been lacking nutrition since childhood. Lack of basic training, they are naturally not tall and thin. What the nobles can do is to pull the big ones out of the scorpion and select those who are as strong as possible and can use weapons.

So originally planned to recruit 300 people, Ryan temporarily changed his mind and only recruited about 200 people, so as to ensure farming and labor, as well as maintain law and order in the territory.

He is not afraid of others coming to steal his home.

"The king has initiated a call-up order. In August, I will take someone to the Valemi camp to report to the Marquis of Anshi." Ryan turned around and looked at his two ranger knights: "My knights, tell me, How can you train these soldiers in one month?"

"It will be more difficult to train them in one month, my baron." Olivier said, the handsome-looking ranger knight'touched' the beard of his chin: "We can only do our best."

Ryan had no choice but to look at his brother Angelang.

"Don't look at me, brother, these little boys can't stand my training. I can only say that they are all **** and dregs." Anglang said disdainly. The World Devourer Gene Primarch does not see these recruits: " Brother, if you want me to help you train soldiers, you'd better send me some stronger people...for example, those who fought like you."

"Forget it..." Ryan thought to himself that I could stand you.

After the resurrection, Anglang was very weak. He had neither a power armor nor a power axe. The disappearance of the Butcher's Nail also affected his combat effectiveness. According to his brother, his current strength is only about 50% of his peak strength. Around, give him two or three years to recover to 70% to 80%, as for the power armor and power axe, there is no way.

A month’s time is not long, not short, and training can still have some effect, but what makes Ryan unhappy is that his two knights are not knights who are good at training the army, Lopus and Olivier is a wandering knight, and their ability to train new recruits is not strong.

It's okay, Ryan turned around and said to the person standing at the end of the crowd: "Then I can only trouble you, Hex."

A young knight with wide eyes and eyebrows stood behind the crowd, and his face had a thin scar from his left eye to the tip of his right nose, which made his face look a bit fierce.

This ranger knight is the newly entrusted ranger knight of Ryan. He is from the Duke of Le-Angouran in Brittany. He is the second son of the Heath family. He was sent to the capital of the Empire in Braunschweig because of inheritance issues. To study at the Army Academy.

Only when the knight returned from his studies, his family territory had been destroyed by the Beastmen, and countless people and his relatives were turned into dust, and when he found the king, he received a thunderbolt-like news, because The family failed to defend its territory, and the family's title has been cancelled.

Hex knew that he was unable to restore his territory, so he took the family crest and became a ranger knight again. After hearing that Ryan, the Holy Grail knight, was sealed here, he came to the Baron Jean to recommend himself. .

Hex has excellent martial arts and is good at training and deploying troops. The years of studying in the empire allowed him to "proficient" in infantry training and tactical command. After inspection, Ryan quickly saw him and he immediately moved towards the newly promoted Holy Grail. The knight swore allegiance.

"Okay, my baron." The ranger knight's face was sullen and he rarely laughed. He only showed obedience when he heard Ryan's orders.

The Knights War is about to begin, and Ryan has a lot to do. After arranging for Olivier and Hex to follow him on the march, Lopus and Anglang stayed behind, Ryan called his steward Katzenberg Come: "Is the food in the warehouse enough for the army for forty days?"

To participate in a chivalrous war, the lord must prepare his own food and grass for his army. This is a common practice. The time of the leader’s service for the king every year is forty days. Therefore, the army led by the lord must raise 40 days of food and grass on his own and then fight for the king free of charge. If this deadline is exceeded, the king must provide the lord with military wages and food supplies.

"If the Lord Baron intends to dispatch troops according to the standard led by Baron Jean, then it is barely enough." Katzenberg mentally calculated a number and came up with a number: "It may be a little nervous, but we only need to reduce some unnecessary. expense……"

"I will ask the merchants to buy some more grain." Ryan nodded: "We can't watch the granary empty."

"This is the best choice, my baron." Katzenberg felt that this couldn't be better. The baron's internal affairs was admirable.

Then Ryan called Gasparton to prepare his tax officer for tax collection, and asked him to bring church personnel and soldiers with him when collecting taxes. Serfs violently resisted taxes were not news.

This situation is serious everywhere, especially for road tax collectors. This position is a real high-risk industry. It is said that a road tax collector who can live for two years is already a "long-lived person."

After things were arranged, Ryan received the news that businessman Oliver came to visit with someone, so he immediately said: "Bring Mr. Oliver in."

The potbellied imperial merchant walked in with a grin, and when he saw Ryan, he saluted him respectfully: "Your Excellency, good morning."

"Hello, Mr. Oliver, I happen to be looking for you for something." Ryan stood up to express his enthusiasm, and then motioned to Oliver to sit in a soft seat: "How about reclaiming and expanding the town?"

"This is what I just want to report to the Baron. We have expanded the town along the city wall by one-third of the scale. The large amount of newly expanded land has already attracted many people's interest, and it even includes...' Jing'ling." Oliver hesitated and said.

"'Jing' spirit?" Ryan was interested.

"Well, it's from San Lorenzo, or the wood spirit of the Esso Loren forest. They seem to be seeking a stable trading partner and establishing an observatory." Oliver continued, "But they refused to negotiate with us. , They said that they would not'communicate' with despicable and cunning humans, they only wanted to talk to the Knights of the Holy Grail."

"Then why didn't you bring them to see me?"

"They... don't want to be close to crowded places. When the Holy Grail Knights are not there, they said they will come again in a few months." Oliver said distressedly: "How can I persuade them not to listen, I even told them to wait here. After a while, I went to find the baron, and they all suspected that I was looking for the army, so..." Oliver spread his hands: "They disappeared."

"Well, it's really a group of careful guys, wait for the next time, I guess the pointed ears didn't plan to have a good talk this time, they just came to explore the bottom." Ryan laughed.

The wood spirits act secretly and are absolutely isolated. They live in the large forest of Essoloren in the south of Bretania. Although they have signed a covenant with Bretania, they only loosely recognize each other and help each other. Agreed.

Wooden'jing' spirits will trade with knights, but after being deceived countless times by "treacherous" and "devilish" humans for countless years, the wooden'jing' spirits have become spiritually clever, and they only work with those who are holy grail knights. Lord trade.

In other words, they only trust the Knights of the Holy Grail.

In any case, these things will not be resolved until Ryan comes back from the expedition: "Don't talk about this, Oliver, I need you to help me purchase some food."

"It's easy, my baron." Oliver also replied earnestly: "I have established a trade relationship with Winford and the merchants of'Podero'. As long as the quantity is not too large, I can buy it. ."

"Very good!" His heart trouble was resolved, and Ryan put a stone down in his heart.

Then, the baron called Hadrian again. This large trench merchant from the southern country was setting up many workshops along the river. His movements were the slowest, because most of the workers were building castles and reclaiming farmland. Many He also needs to bring equipment and equipment from Marienburg, and what Ryan needs is to wait patiently.

"Make arrangements as soon as possible, Mr. Hadrian." Ryan said softly, as the time as the lord became longer, the knight of the Holy Grail became more powerful.

"Okay, Lord Lane."

The rest of the time was spent dealing with government affairs and patrolling the territory. Ryan also often "spent" time to "beg" with his elder brother. Anglang is willing to teach his brother. Ryan has benefited a lot for a period of time. Feeling that his strength in passing the rank has faint signs of breaking through again.

…………

Time has come to the beginning of August, the season of sparkling gold, the clear sky of midsummer, the hot sun scorching the earth,

The army is ready to go.

The army that Ryan participated in the Knights War this time consisted of three knights, Hex and Olivier, five knights, and fifty-three infantrymen. Due to the small number of soldiers, Ryan did not recruit and receive soldiers.

Ryan, wearing a gray knight psychic power armor, holding a Griffon warhammer, and a Holy Grail knight badge hung on his chest, riding on a pure-blooded psychic war horse, shouted to his soldiers : "Are you ready? My soldiers?"

"My baron! We're ready!" After a month of training, the infantry in front of them has something of an army, at least they will stand neatly waiting for orders.

More, it can only rely on the baptism of blood and fire.

"Go!" The town's big ‘door’ opened, and the new baron led his army to leave the town, ready to go to the Varemi camp near the Arden Forest.

In the tower, the dark ‘Jing’ Spirit Orika was alone watching Ryan led his army to leave.

"Master..." A silver'color' pendant was hung on Olica's full'chest'. It was made for her by Ryan's special'men' spend' time to protect her. .

Holding the necklace tightly with both hands, Olica pressed the pendant to her heart.

"Owner……"

"Master?" A dazzling white light appeared behind her, the dark ‘jing’ spirit turned around subconsciously, and a white ‘Jade’ hand touched her forehead.

Olica struggled in vain for a while, and then her body softened. Faced with the terrifying strength of the incoming person, she had no ability to resist, and she could only struggle to say: "Hu...Hu ‘women’?"

"Olica, Olica-Krundia?" The lake fairy ‘female’ had a faint smile on her face, but she couldn’t tell the danger.

"You recognized me! Lilith!"
