Warhammer Throne
Chapter 161: , Autumn rain bursts
After Louis, Duke of Connet, and Duke of Lyonace left temporarily, King Richard sat on the throne alone, thinking about all this. . . Please see the most complete! Novel!
There is no doubt that his grand-nephew Anshi-Des Monde is ashamed of his trust and teachings. It is his mistake that ruined the entire army of chivalry. For this war, his grandnephew will bear a heavy burden. responsibility.
Now, the king has to face the aggressive dukes. The lost army needs to pay a huge sum of money from the kingdom’s finances to compensate for this loss. In a short time, the king does not know how to find such a sum. huge sum of money.
It seems that I have to discuss the loan with Van der Guber-Schultz, the "lender" of the Grand Duke of Marienburg. When I think of the money that the royal family owes Marienburg, the old king's face has bursts.' It hurts, he calculated it last year. Brittany already owed Marienburg hundreds of thousands of gold coins in short-term royal debts, which is not considered long-term debt.
Well, putting the money aside in advance, Richard has to face who will bear the responsibility.
First of all, he must set a tone, that as a king, he absolutely cannot bear this responsibility, otherwise his throne is in danger of being shaken.
In any case, Anshi is dead.
Adelaide also died, only Baron Lane survived.
Thinking of this, Richard's heart burst into flames. If you say that this can be changed slightly, such as Ryan is dead, Anshi or Adelaide, one of them survived, and led the six thousand remnants to victory. This should be great.
Then the "sexuality" of this war can be changed. He will vigorously promote this tragic victory, portray the commander of this army as a national hero, and vigorously advocate that the destruction of the magic rock will make the country worry-free for decades. A kind of "victory is victory" "major victory of passing level" to stop everyone's mouth.
But the one who survived and won in the end was Ryan Makado, the chosen champion of the lake fairy ‘female’.
Although this kid is very strong, he has never been his own, never has been.
On the contrary, his faction is extremely rich in color. He used to be the White Wolf Knight, his adoptive father was the White Wolf Knight, and his godfather was the Griffin Duke of the Empire, and he was the champion of the Lake Fairy'female'. It is also the vassal of Duke Winford "Long'legs'" François. From any point of view, he is not his own.
At the same time, his army also included the army of Bastogne.
But can Richard punish Ryan directly? Can he be held accountable for not going to rescue the Chivalry army, to rescue the Marquis of Angshi?
In fact, it doesn't work. Richard's mature political wisdom told him that he can't be held accountable, at least not now, because Ryan brought back the victory.
At this juncture, he is the hero of this country, and Richard must not punish him publicly, otherwise his prestige will inevitably be damaged.
But from his standpoint, he can't give this guy who doesn't belong to his faction too high a reward, otherwise it's tantamount to encouraging the knights to stand on top of another mountain in disguise and not obey the command, which will further weaken the king's power.
This is no different from an enemy. In the interior of the kingdom, Francois, Duke of Winford and Berch Mond, Duke of Bastogne, have always had a deep conflict with him. This time, the chivalry war is left. The armies of these two principalities did not suffer a great loss, and they also experienced the baptism of blood and fire.
The king did not want to benefit them anymore.
But this came back again, the same sentence, it was Ryan who dismantled the Ten Thousand Demon Rock, and he brought the victory back.
This is almost a dead end, and going around is still a dead knot.
The king knew he needed to find a way from another angle.
As for the issue of not holding the Triumphal Ceremony, it is not a big issue. With such a heavy loss, it can be justified from any point of view. Ryan can't force it. The eight dukes that will be wiped out by the entire army will oppose it. .
After thinking for a while, the king's heart gradually became clear.
Victory is definitely a victory. There was no disastrous defeat in this chivalrous war. On the contrary, it was a glorious victory!
So since you don’t want to give credit to the living, let’s give it to the dead!
As for the people of Ryan, let them hang out first to kill their arrogance, and then give them enough rewards to make them shut up.
Now, we must first wait for the arrival of the dukes. The king and the dukes will have a meeting to discuss how the war will end.
…………
In late September, when Ryan led the right-wing army out of the forest, the autumn of the Breton Knights Kingdom grew stronger, and the serfs were numbly harvesting food.
Walking in the wilderness, the knights felt very relieved. Through their efforts, they protected the people in the wilderness.
They are the winners now.
There is nothing more glorious to defend your country.
There has been a saying that if the knights of Breton seldom initiate wars because they are not defending their homes and the country, if not the knights of the Holy Grail need to protect the holy land of the'women', perhaps Breton The knights are able to conquer the world.
This is of course an unreliable speculation, but it also shows how the humans of the old world were afraid of the knights of the knight kingdom.
The army followed the road, and then arrived at Artois Castle, which was only a day away from Curona. Ryan received the order from the Knight King that the army will rest at Artois Castle. Only Ryan waited. Several leaders can go directly to Curona and wait until the notice, of course, they will take a rest at Artois Castle tonight.
This command has already made Ryan smell something different. Normally, an army cannot enter the city after ‘fighting’ with the ‘chaotic’ creatures. Generally speaking, they have to rest for a while to see the aftereffects.
But Ryan still smelled a different smell.
When the army approached Artois Castle, the sight in front of him made Ryan's eyes wide open.
An army is already waiting for them.
No, not an army.
There are two armies.
Under the towering Artois Castle, two ‘elite’ kingdom knight troops are waiting for their arrival.
On the left, the family heraldic flag of the red ‘color’ fire dragon is swaying in the wind, and the gold ‘color’ tassels under the banner are swinging with the autumn wind.
Under the banner, the fiery red ‘color’ knights of the Kingdom of Bastogne, wearing full armor, were waiting for them. Their shields were uniformly engraved with the coat of arms of a red dragon on a yellow background, and dozens of kingdom knights stood in a very neat line.
Golden helmet and silver armor, Yuyi is brilliant.
The knight standing at the forefront has the power like a giant dragon. He has a fortitude and full of vicissitudes of life. Around his body, the space is sinking slightly, with a light red color. Energy is moving around him.
There is no doubt that he is the famous patriarch of the Red Dragon family, Duke of Bastogne, "Beast Butcher" Berch ‘Mont de Bastogne’: "Salute to the knights who have returned from victory!"
"salute!"
On the right, during the day, the horse is in the family coat of arms and the flag is floating in the clouds, and the horse rider holding the flag is shuttled in the golden sunset of autumn.
The Duke of Winford "long'legs'" Francois smiled and stood in front of the knights of the Weinford Kingdom in silver armor and white armor. His elegant faces were full of smiles. Seeing Ryan and the others arrived, the Duke himself waved: "Good afternoon, soldiers, good fight."
"Father!" The Aintree brothers and sisters called out one after another. They didn't expect the Duke to be here waiting for themselves!
"Father! I..." Gabriel also rushed to the front of the Red Dragon Duke. The Red Dragon Duke grinned roughly, and then patted his'chest': "It's okay, I didn't shame the family."
Only Ryan was left in place, and the Holy Grail Knight himself smiled awkwardly.
Used to it, since he came into this world, he has always been alone.
The careful Suliama realized Ryan's embarrassment, and she immediately turned around and said softly to Ryan: "Come here together, Lord Ryan, father has something to say to us."
"Okay." Ryan shrugged, seeing the ‘female’ knight so understanding, his heart felt warm.
The Duke of Red Dragon came and shook hands with him: "Thank you, young man, I have heard Gabriel talk about the matter, and I won't say much other nonsense. Both are the Knights of the Holy Grail, and I remember you."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Ryan could feel the extremely terrifying breath coming from Duke Bercy's'Mon'd.
The Duke of Red Dragon is even stronger than Duke François of Winford. The only human powerhouses I know in Ryan are the witch of the lake **** and the Duke of Griffin can shoulder him.
This model of chivalry, the great sanctuary knight has been committed to loyal to the lake fairy "female", his dream is to become a holy grail knight to guard the holy land of the lake fairy "female", but the lake fairy "female" orders him Receive the land sovereignty of his ancestors to govern the people, instead of becoming a holy grail knight to charge.
Even so, the duke has become a famous slayer of beasts. In addition, the duke himself is not interested in governing the territory. He always'hands over' this task to his nominee, and then leads his family knights. We go to destroy the evil, his lance "hole" passes through the doomsday bull and the green-skinned warlord, and his long sword has killed the vampire earl and the "chaos" champion.
The Duke firmly follows the teachings of the Lake Fairy "Female". When the opponent is the same human being, he uses a lance as long as he shoots the opponent down and never makes a knife. This has won him the respect of countless people, even if it is His enemies also admire his noble character. The Duke is always committed to fighting the evil in his territory, and will only return to the castle to rest when he is in good condition.
"Thanks, Ryan, you did a good job." François came to Ryan, and he reached out and patted Ryan on the shoulder: "If anything else is not suitable to say here, let us enter the Castle of Artois, let Let's arrange accommodation and dinner for the army first. The soldiers are all tired."
"Okay." Ma Youzhuan's clerk should be.
Arranging accommodation and meals for an army of more than four thousand people is a hard work, but these are not the turn of the knights to do it. Ryan followed the two dukes and their descendants directly to the heart of Artois Castle, where, The'waiters' servants have arranged a sumptuous dinner to reward the knights who have returned from the expedition.
A group of people walked toward the inner courtyard of the castle. Ryan noticed that it was a very, very large three-story castle. It was piled up with heavy stones, and there was a window every ten steps or so. The soldiers could look out from the inside.' To shoot, the walls were lined with artillery and large crossbows.
"It's a tight defense, who is garrisoning this castle now?" Ryan asked with interest.
Brittany is not completely without artillery.
Unlike the empire on the opposite side of the gray ‘color’ mountain range, if the covenant between the empire and the dwarves is called the eternal blood alliance, then the relationship between Bretania and the dwarves can only be said to be normal.
The empire rarely wants to share the secrets of the “medicine” with the knight kingdom, so most of the knight kingdom can only spend a lot of money to buy some outdated or obsolete artillery from the empire or the dwarves. These artillery are good for defending the city. They are good for field warfare. The effect is not good.
"The Castle of Artois is now in the custody of Baron Zieg. He rarely stays here. This is not his territory, but is directly governed by the king himself." François took over Ryan's question: "Here used to be The Duke of Artois, only after the Dol Tower incident, the Duke of Artois also participated in the civil war."
"The Duke of Artois died in battle? But it's impossible not to find an heir?" Ryan noticed that even after more than two hundred years of time'yin', many places in the castle can still vaguely see that year. The coat of arms of the Artois family.
Red Dragon Duke Boss ‘Meng’ De sighed softly: "I really can’t find it."
"Why?" Now it was the ‘female’ knight Su Liya’s turn to ask, she was also very interested in this matter.
"When the civil war ended, Knight King Taylor discovered by chance that the Duke of Artois and his family had been vampires, and they were gradually becoming midnight nobles. In desperation, His Majesty Taylor Buddha and the goddess of the lake 'His Royal Highness Witch launched the Chivalry War together and eliminated Zilfroy, Duke of Artois and his family."
"At this time, the entire Duke of Artois has been harassed by the number of beasts for ten years. Many territories have been flooded by forests, and many people have turned to dust. After the war, the title of Duke Artois was actually found. There is no suitable heir. The Earl Fogel, who is most qualified to inherit the title of Duke of Artois, has died in the civil war. Therefore, the Duke of Artois has been taken to the Duchy of Lyonasse, Le-Angouran and Connet. The duchy was divided. Obviously, since the Duke of Lyonasse was the knight king at that time, the Duchy of Lyonasse was divided into a much larger territory than the other two dukes."
"That's it." Ryan nodded.
Unconsciously, it started to rain outside the castle.
The autumn wind gusts, the night rain is cool, the dark clouds outside the castle, the fine autumn rain falls from the sky, adding its final touch to the autumn harvest, sitting in the castle's banquet hall, everyone can smell the fragrance and freshness of the soil air.
With the sound of the rain outside the window, everyone sat down and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. Ryan consciously sat down at the end of the long table, and Su Liya sat beside him when he saw it.
François first looked at Ryan, and then at the "girl" sitting next to Ryan. He smiled profoundly: "Ryan, do you know how much trouble you have caused in this Knights War? Except for the Duke of Palaon and the Duke of Berleon, all the dukes of the entire kingdom are rushing to the capital, Curona, to discuss rewards and punishments for you and your army."
"I know." Ryan smiled bitterly. He understood that instead of going back to support the extinct Marquis of Angxi, he chose to go straight to the Ten Thousand Demon Rock. It was a controversial decision, because a knight is a professional soldier and his mission is to obey orders.
Although in terms of results and long-term perspective, Ryan did nothing wrong.
"Well, you are self-aware, eat first, and after eating, let us analyze this matter carefully, let us see what we can get, and what price we have to pay."
"I understand, my duke."
