Warhammer Throne

In early November, the time has gradually entered the early winter season from late autumn, and the climate in the capital Curona has gradually become colder.

The victory of Chantilon’s defensive battle gave birth to five new knights. They were awarded the title of Ranger Knight in the Royal Palace of Curona. Ryan focused on commending the Northern Front, headed by Calad, and personally awarded Calad with the Grand Chalice. With the Medal of the Legion of Honor, all the meritorious soldiers below Karad have also received enough rewards. The king ordered the victories to be publicized and reminded everyone not to take it lightly.

Ulfric and his dragon ship fleet are wandering overseas in Talon, looking for the next opportunity to invade!

Winner's reward, loser's pension, Chantilon town is destroyed, it is estimated that it will take one or two months to rebuild, this matter will be in charge of Raun, Chantilon town is under his jurisdiction, and Ryan will also give it to him. Do.

After a meeting, Ryan still got very little information, and many news were contradictory. There was news that Ulfric’s invasion had been premeditated, and that the Norscans would go to full-scale war with Bretania, and some The news indicated that this was only a trial and routine raid by the northern barbarians, and there was even news that this was because Ulfric-Wanderer and his army were abandoned by Chaos, and the war with the dark elves did not select them, so This group of talents came to trouble the Knight Kingdom.

With all sorts of clues, Ryan read the existing news, only to feel a mess, it is difficult to tell which news is trustworthy, and the news is false. The Knight King can only temporarily judge that Chaos’s invasion is not a simple one. Probing or plundering, Ryan faintly remembered the source of Aurora’s previous news, that is, it is said that there is a chaos power in the north who is gathering troops, but this news has not been confirmed or has any strong evidence, and the previous news has been It shows that the target of this chaotic power is the dark elf, and it has been confirmed.

Furthermore, if the prophecies about the possible Eternal God's choice of Aizhan are collected enough to hold three large wooden boxes, do you think people in the old world can't figure out a solution?

The empire has sent several armies or demon hunters and battle priests to search for Aicharn, but they either disappeared or turned into chaotic idiots and faithful chaos believers.

Brittany also sent some knights to expedition to the Chaos Wasteland. Some died in battle, some were corrupted by chaos, and came back to Bretania to advocate the dogma of evildoers and were finally purified by fire. The most famous expedition knight Named Gillette, he met the famous evil evil demon Azasel. During a one-on-one duel, the expedition knight suddenly knelt down in front of the evil evil demon and was beheaded, and did not make any resistance during the whole process.

According to the currently known information, only the Dark Spirit Witch King Malekis is the only one who can enter the chaos realm in the Chaos Wasteland and return intact, but in fact Ryan learned from Lilith that Malekis also It’s not really “retreat” in the true sense. He was able to successfully return to Nagaros. In addition to the Phoenix King’s bloodline on his body, the Queen Morasi’s trade with Segui, and the sacrifice of countless most precious sacrifices, including Only Demon Toad Shilan who had spent countless prices to get it succeeded.

Ryan himself did not dare to venture into the Chaos Wasteland. It was not that he was timid, but if he ventured into the Chaos Wasteland, it would simply be a firefly in the dark, a husky in a pack of wolves, and he could guarantee that he would be spotted by countless Chaos demons wherever he went. Together, they attacked in groups, even the original body couldn't consume it so much.

What, you said Cardo Diego, the great mentor of the Grey Knights? Have slaughtered demons in the subspace for many years?

There are two points to emphasize here. First, subspace is not equal to the chaos domain, and there is not only chaos in the subspace.

Second, Diego's strength is a demigod level, but he is not as invincible as he imagined. He ate Mka the rebirth of the Great Chaos Demon and was trapped in the subspace for life after a curse. Regardless of how happy he killed him, it was actually just that the Four Chaos Gods were waiting for him to fail to resist corruption and fall, so they didn't devote their energy to dealing with him, and the demon he killed and the chaos area destroyed would regenerate and recover forever.

This is different from Ryan. As the Primal Gray Knight, he has no ability to completely kill except the Great Chaos Demon for the time being. If he kills other Chaos Demon, he is really completely dead. The Chaos thing he destroyed is really destroyed. .

Third, one of the important reasons that Diego was able to defeat Mortarian is that the emperor told him the real name of the demon of Mortarian, and the emperor’s request for the Primarch of Ryan is that I will not tell you the real name of the demon. , You have to interpret it yourself. This is a skill you must master as the Primarch of the Grey Knight. Ryan is more than forty this year. It is not that easy to master this skill.

The real name of the Chaos Demon is not to be read by the emperor. Ordinary people can remember it after repeating it. The difficulty is probably for an ordinary person to master high-order calculus from scratch, and as long as they fail a little bit, they will be corrupted by chaos. , Exploding on the spot, becoming chaotic eggs on the spot, and so on. The first letter or pronunciation of the real name of most demons is enough to make a large group of people go crazy on the spot and directly attract countless terrible existences.

After the meeting, Ryan immediately made two decisions. The first was to call Aurora and Teresa to come to Kurona to set up new tasks, and the second was to send the Empire and Kislov to inquire about the news.

The messaging empire is okay, it only takes half a day, while Kislov's messaging takes three full days. All Ryan can do now is wait.

It is quite annoying to be locked in the palace, and one thing Ryan dislikes is that there are so many rules in the palace of Curona. The knight king will be controlled from head to toe, so after the meeting, Ryan and Calade come out to Crow alone. Turning around in the suburbs of Nacheng, on the one hand, listening to him describe the details of the battle, on the other hand, it also reflects the importance he attaches to him.

Early winter is gray, because at this time, Bretania’s sky is always gray, there is no sunshine, no vitality, early winter is yellow, there is no spring and summer scenery in the fields, only the leaves after harvest That large area of ​​withered yellow.

Some of the slack serfs and freedmen chose to go to work in the city. Recently, Raun issued an order to recruit people to repair the town of Chantilon. The wages were okay and the food was taken care of. Many people went, but some people, especially Not bad, this meal and the few free men who paid for the coins were sitting on the ridge and at the gate of the manor, bragging and chatting.

The sparrows began to fly in groups, and the few yellowish leaves on the tree swirled in the winter wind, looking as if they were about to fall from the tree, the joy of the harvest still lingered in everyone’s faces. Above, the big guy didn't notice the passing carriage and the people hiding in the corner. Instead, he discussed the recent battle of the Great Harvest Monk Tiron.

As a result of a big victory, the civilians not only felt proud, but also discussed very enthusiastically. Most of them could not do without the "new knight title", "Lord Calad" and "Lord Raun", hiding in the corner. The two holy grail knights did not feel this, but Ryan smiled at Kalad: "You are really famous this time, my earl."

"Your Majesty is wise and decisive. I just played my role at the right opportunity." Calad noticed that Ryan was very interested in the chats of the farmers and freelance craftsmen. Count Galament emphasized: "Your Majesty , Do you think we should immediately dispatch the Poseidon fleet to deal with Ulfric and his World Walker Legion?"

"Ulfric lost a game like this. It's not easy to regroup." Ryan didn't answer Calad's question directly. The Knight King shook his head: "Carad, do you have a feeling?"

"How do you feel, Your Majesty?" Karad followed in Ryan's footsteps, and the two of them were dressed in brown robe cloaks, looking like two travelers.

"Normally, Karad, the barbarian invasions encountered in Bretania's history generally have only two endings." Ryan pointed to the manor in the distance: "The first one is that the barbarians burned, killed and looted. After getting over the addiction, retreat."

"The second type is the failure of the barbarians. In this case, have you ever seen the Norskars take the initiative to retreat? When is it not necessary to fight to the end?"

"Yes." Calade nodded. He recalled Egil's invasion: "Your Majesty, do you remember Egil-Redeye? He was obviously able to directly break the Lyonnais match, but he finally chose to ask for a championship duel, because He wants that boy."

"That's right." Ryan nodded, and the Knight King looked at Kurona's wilderness. He said seriously: "For the Norskars, the most glorious thing is undoubtedly the burning, killing and looting in the name of the evil god, blaspheming the south. I know this better than anyone else’s land. Don’t forget, I grew up in Nord. If the Norskars do things that are not in line with common sense, there is only one conclusion. Their conspiracy is much higher. Regarding the so-called most glorious thing, then there is only one explanation for Ulfric's retreat, that is, there is an existence higher than him, and even the evil **** entrusts him to retreat."

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's why both Raun and I judged that this was just the beginning." Karad was not surprised that Ryan had reached this conclusion. He thought it was not like Ryan. His conclusion was that everyone could think of. , It's really... superficial.

Ryan looked at Kalad’s expression and knew what he was thinking. The Knight King thought you only thought of the first layer, and I thought of the third layer: "Then the question is here, Kalad, why did Ulfric choose? Retreat, but two did not retreat to Norsca, three did not change a place to attack, but led the dragon ship fleet to wander back and forth in our open seas? He did not attack, did not plunder, and did not return, this is not the most annoying waste of Cthulhu Time has nothing to do?"

"This..." Calad couldn't answer at once, yeah, wouldn't Ulfric do this a waste of time?

"Karad, what do you think?" Ryan said with his hands behind his back, calmly.

"Your Majesty, I think there must be something strange in this matter." Karad immediately understood: "According to what you know about the Norskars, Ulfric will not give up like this, but his behavior is very abnormal, which explains the background. There must be a bigger conspiracy."

"So, so I am eager to know more information." Ryan nodded slowly, and the Knight King noticed that a group of traveling bands had come to this manor. He motioned to Karad to look over there: "But I always have a feeling. "

"How do you feel, Your Majesty?" Calade knew that due to the economic development, Bretania began to have such bands or performance groups traveling together like the empire, performing around the manor and earning a small amount of living expenses.

"Do you think that Ulfric's doing this will divert our attention a bit and hold the smell of our main force inside?" Ryan whispered: "So, I have a feeling that something big must happen. That’s why we are eager to obtain more information from the Empire and Kislov. If we mobilize the Poseidon fleet rashly, it will turn into us being led by Ulfric’s nose."

"Yes!" Karad nodded convincingly in agreement.

At this moment, the band in the distance seemed to have negotiated a price with the commoners of the manor, and they were ready to play.

The band consists of a trumpet player, a singer, an accordion player and a marimba player.

After a cheerful prelude, the singer began to sing. With an emotional voice, he sang moving poetry and music.

"From Alençon to Chantilon Port~to Chantilon Port~"

"The whole territory of Brittany is under attack~under attack~"

"Earl Calade will lead all Bretons~lead all Bretons~"

"Tell them we are fearless ~ fearless ~"

The accordionist played a cheerful minor.

"The barbarian tribes of Norsca are awakening~ are awakening~"

"Don't touch our country~our country~"

"Earl Calade will lead all Bretons~lead all Bretons~"

"Tell them we are fearless ~ fearless ~"

Soon the people from the manor gathered together and began to sing in a chorus full of pride, praising Kalad's brilliant record and victory over the barbarians.

"There is a special poem to praise you so soon, Carad?" Ryan laughed loudly, and the Knight King was very interested in it: "When did it appear?"

"Uh, there was a group of bards in Chantilon that day. They didn't run far when they were evacuated. They were so courageous to watch the duel between me and Uffric not far away. After we won, They composed the lyrics and music on the spot, and wrote this song called "removechaos". Now people around Curona and even Le Angouran and Lyonnais sing this song." Calade blushed a little, he A little embarrassed: "I told Regent Raun about this, but he said it was all good."

"It's a good thing, you deserve it." Ryan wondered why the more he listened to this song, the more thirsty he heard? He wants to drink water a little: "Sometimes you have to visit the grassroots more unannounced. This will help you understand what the citizens are thinking, and the hearts of the people will be backed up."

"Yes." Karad also felt a bit dry in his mouth.

At this moment, an old guard musket dragoon came from a distance on a war horse, breaking the silence: "Your Majesty! Emergency news from the Empire! The urgent military information signed by the Emperor himself!"

"Give it to me!" Ryan immediately took the letter, and then motioned to Karad to come over and read it together.

The two Sanctuary Great Chalices got together and looked at the text on the parchment. Their expressions were gradually distorted and distorted. Ryan's hand was violently crumpled, and the parchment was crumpled.

After reading a message of hundreds of words, Karad and Ryan, whose faces were bloodshot, looked at each other as if they gathered together thousands of words, and finally turned into one word.

"NS!"

"Immediately notify all the dukes, come to Curona for a meeting right away! Right away!"

"Yes!"

Ryan has just received the news here, on the other side, the imperial capital, Brunswick, the imperial palace, and the imperial parliament. .

All electors and electors, as well as representatives of many generals and mages of the empire, are here.

The enlarged meeting of the imperial parliament was held here urgently.
