Proof of the Sun King

In July, the slow-moving Brittany Mujahideen finally arrived at Bogenhafen, the focal point of the axe bite.

After Sun King Ryan heard about Callard's victory, he personally, his wife Surya and son Devon Hill rode around the battlefield. The places he passed were those who participated in the war at the time, and the soldiers present personally greeted him. As Ryan described the situation on the battlefield, Ryan stayed around the battlefield where he passed, sighing for a long time.

The three armies are easy to get and one general is hard to find. Ryan immediately announced that all soldiers who participated in the battle of Helmgart would be awarded a third-class iris medal. All soldiers who followed Karad and survived were all promoted, and serfs were promoted to freedom. Citizens and free people get the title of sergeant, and those with the title of sergeant are directly elected to the Youth Guards, the living will be rewarded, and the dead will be comforted.

As the main commander, Callard was awarded the honorary title of "Duke of Flanders" and a large fief, which means that he has begun to equalize the dukes politically, but there is no corresponding duchy. .

The entire regiment of the Young Guards was temporarily placed under the command of Callard.

Lawn received the honor of the Grand Order of the Holy Grail, and he was granted the hereditary fief of Chantillon. Lane ordered that the title of Lionheart be added to his title of Marshal, that is, he could call himself Marshal Lionheart in the future.

The Holy Grail Sir Aman Rick from Carcassonne was named Marshal of Brittany on the spot, which made the number of marshals to be supplemented to six, and the army of his headquarters was replenished by Ryan's deployment of troops, due to the white horses in his cavalry. A large number of them defended the already crumbling city in Helmgart, so they were named "The White Horse Legion" by Ryan, and Sir Aman Rick was also called "Marshal of the White Horse".

As for Diego... Diego doesn't need a reward, and Ryan also doubts whether he is qualified to give Diego more rewards. The Grey Knight supreme mentor has reached the point where there is no reward and no reward. They have become the supreme mentor, did Ryan give up the position of his Primarch to him?

However, the Emperor already has a mature system for how to reward this situation, and Ryan just needs to do it.

The Emperor said, don't be a slave of honor... Lane thought so.

But I do.

Because it's cheap, it's no exaggeration for an Emperor's Guard to reward him with a whole world for countless years of service, but the Emperor can't do that, so all he can give is a long list that can hardly be read. name.

It seems unfair and unjust, but the Imperial Custodians regard it as the highest honor and the highest reward.

What about the Emperor? He has done so much for mankind, but what reward has he asked of all mankind?

Thinking of this, Ryan knew in his heart that the original body no longer felt guilty about Diego, because loyalty itself is the best reward, what we do is the well-being of all mankind, and we don't need to care about some details and small sacrifices.

It's over, am I also starting to become Johnson?

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but laugh, and yes, the Grey Knight is actually a bit similar to the Dark Angel.

"Father~" Devon Hill's voice came from the side, and his son who was about to turn 20 said to Ryan, "Mom called you."

"What's the matter, Suria?" Ryan looked at Suria who was not far away.

The knight queen is wearing her very typical white square-button military uniform with golden braids, and a sky blue Pegasus cape. It is even more arrogant under the reflection of the white snow. This is a high mountain flower, which is obviously exclusive to Ryan alone. The full and strong collar of the general's uniform is held high. From this point of view, it is more spectacular than ever. The white breeches and boots wrapped her slender and plump figure, showing all her moving curves, and the charm that was exclusive to a married wife was undoubtedly revealed with the host's slight anger.

"I called you several times, are you thinking about something?" Surya walked over to Ryan and tidied up his wind-blown hair a little: "I ask you what to do next."

"Next..." The majestic peaks of the Grey Mountains still rose unimaginably high ahead of them, its distant peaks blocked by thick clouds, but the hardest part of the journey was over, The knights began to walk down the mountain cautiously along the gravel path full of gravel, and they were more careful not to let more horses hoofs stumble here.

The air became filthy and stinky, and the expeditionary soldiers could no longer enjoy the pure and luscious fresh air of Brittany, which was replaced by ever-increasing filth.

The rotten and ruined town of Helmgart lies just behind Lane, now just a rotten field blown up by the Skaven and covered in thorns.

In front is the city of Bogenhafen. After the chaos, there are almost no living people in the city, but the general outline of the city is still there.

This is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome is that the plague of Nurgle has spread here, and the dense forest of poisonous moss vines and shrubs starts from the city of Bergenhaven and spreads to the distance more than ten kilometers away, like the ocean forever. Endless.

Under the city of Bergenhafen, the knights were talking about it. They looked at the thick tangled thorns on the city wall. In addition, there were vines and suffocating weeds everywhere. Everything seemed to exist. Slowly moving about by their own will, trees gathered on the crowded roads, as if they had grown from the rocks that had just been brought to life, their roots frozen on the broken brick masonry, their crowns. Longing for the gift of air and sunlight.

There is no road, the only place where the road should be is Nurgle Forest.

There is no river, where the river should be is all silt, swamps, and countless poison ivy.

Surya sighed: "Beria and the others estimate that it will take us at least a few weeks to clear the road, and if this is the case in the empire, it may take us several months to reach the city of Brunswick."

"We can't wait that long." Ryan thought about it for a while, but immediately denied it: "But we can't rush forward. The army is very tired after walking in the axe pass for more than a month. What we have to do is to take a break."

"forest?"

"The forest is not a problem." Ryan looked into the distance: "German?"

"Huh? What's wrong, Dad?"

"Come with me." Ryan made a gesture towards Surya, and the knight queen blushed suddenly. This was a gesture to live a married life at night, but she had no reason to refuse, indicating that you should take your son to go shopping first.

Ryan galloped towards Bogenhafen with his son, leaving behind the beautiful female knight Suria who looked at their backs and shook her head helplessly. The husband obviously wanted to say something to his son, so she would not participate. .

"Bogenhafen, as the focal point of the axe bite and the point of communication between dozens of water veins in the empire, is an important place for commerce and trade." On the way, Ryan smiled at Devon Hill: "This place was at its peak when it was at its peak. There used to be more gold in the warehouse than in Brunswick. Several big families controlled the city council of Bergenhafen and enjoyed huge profits. Businessmen from the nearby city of Nuer also came to the river to distribute the empire from here. Lead and mercury in other areas, and the townspeople went down the mountain to exchange locally produced wool and wine for supplies.”

Devon Hill didn't know why his father said this to himself for a while, and the son could only say casually: "I know, the four families of Bogenhafen, Stein, Hagen, Timgen, Ruger. The Broads, these four families control the Town Council, ensuring policies and trade taxation are in favor of the Merchant Guild and their families, who have made unimaginable fortunes."

"Oh, did your homework well?" Ryan glanced at his son, a little surprised, but quickly calmed down: "Then what happened next, I don't need to say more?"

"The Timgan family declined because of the "Tibu Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Aid Treaty." Devonhill said with a smile: "Because the Empire and us have directly reached a trade tariff agreement and an official bulk cargo sale agreement, the Timgan family's business. It suddenly declined, and they tried many methods to try to reverse the process. Until the new patriarch Johannes took office, the Timgan family suddenly broke out in business and even merged the other three families on a large scale, which attracted the attention of the imperial officials and soon fought. A team of priests and witchers discovered the secret of Johannes joining the Chaos sect, the entire family was wiped out, and all property confiscated."

"Yes, it seems that you have studied history and humanities well." Ryan nodded slowly, and he continued to smile as he watched his son.

"Hey, my memory is confirmed by my grandfather." Devon Hilton was proud, and Ryan's youngest son put his hands on his hips to show that he was very strong.

His memory and psionic gifts truly amaze the Emperor, and many ancient saints have successors.

"Then have you ever thought that this may be a conspiracy of the other three families? Is it possible that Johannes himself is actually a business wizard, and the competition of the other three families just forged Johannes to join the Chaos Sect. The evidence was reported to the imperial officials, which resulted in the annihilation of the Timgan family?" Ryan then asked.

"..." Devon Hill was stopped by Ryan's words, and his son opened his mouth and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"No hurry, think slowly." Ryan motioned for his son to think first. He noticed that his heir, Kaldor Diego, was surrounded by a group of formal witches and witch apprentices with a troubled face.

"Handsome guy! You are so handsome~!"

"You smell so good, what brand of perfume do you use?"

"Mr. Diego, I heard that you are a relative of His Majesty Ryan? Can you tell us something about the past?"

"Your muscles are so strong! Can you touch it?"

The Grey Knight Supreme Instructor who killed through the warp was extremely embarrassed to face this situation. He couldn't beat him and couldn't scold him. He could only retreat back and forth, surrounded by a group of idiots. The witches were so impressed by the pure light in the warp like the Grey Knight. There is no resistance, especially the complete body of Diego. Ryan can't touch it. It is forbidden by the female speaker. The Grey Knight recruits under Ryan's command have few opportunities to contact. Now that Diego is in front of him, there is no reason to let it go. ?

A daring fourteen-year-old witch apprentice reached out and touched Diego's body.

"There is no such worldly desire, there is no such worldly desire!" Diego, who would not be embarrassed by the ten Tzeentch demon legions, was really at a loss, and he could only constantly emphasize.

"Hahaha~" Ryan didn't seem to have any idea of ​​helping his son. The Grey Knight Primarch laughed for a while and turned his eyes back to his son.

"It doesn't make sense, Dad." Devonhill finally had an answer after thinking for a while, and his son pulled the reins of the warhorse: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can see that if Johannes is really a business wizard, he has no reason not to Handle the relationship with the other three major families well, and even if it is not handled well, there are many other ways to solve the problem, such as buying people's hearts, giving small favors to the citizens of Bergenhafen, such as donating to the church, Provide financial support to major guilds.”

"If he doesn't understand this truth, he is not a business wizard at all." Devonhill concluded: "So I personally prefer that he really joined the Chaos sect."

"...The ability to judge the truth of the matter by yourself and not be influenced by the instigation of others and subordinates. This is the standard of a qualified monarch." Ryan nodded and seized this brief opportunity, the Sun King and his crown prince chatted and laughed happily: " So you, don’t simply care about the strength of the power. Many times the strength of the power does not determine everything. The elves and dwarves are powerful alone but sparsely populated. The number of imperial troops is more than the sand on the beach. The strong, the knight kingdom has no shortage of strong men but lacks powerful infantry regiments. Vampires and Chaos are particularly afraid of cutting generals. Among them, vampires must constantly divide their energy to control the entire army, while Chaos has to face the eternal challenges from subordinates and Insatiable demands from the evil gods."

"Then what is the real strength or weakness?" Devonhill seized this opportunity to discuss with his father. Since the axe bit the pass, the son and his father have discussed a lot, and the relationship has improved: "For example, the country The strength before the country, the strength between people?"

"There's more to discuss about this." Ryan pursed his lips and smiled, and he pulled the reins of the second generation of grapes: "The most typical, what is the most important thing at the moment of the end? Without him, one is food, and the other is the army. , that's all, fighting requires a strong army, and the army needs sufficient food supply, if these two cannot be guaranteed, how can you survive?"

"Is this the so-called farming system?" Devonhill made inferences from one fact: "Gather grain and train a strong army?"

"That's right, but what about after accumulating grain and training a strong army?" Ryan then asked: "The high elves have too much grain to eat, and the farmland near the Hosbai Pagoda is ripe for 8-12 seasons a year, and there is no rich country. Strong soldiers?"

"Because... people always want something else after a full stomach, such as... Clothing warm? For example... entertainment?" Devonhill thought: "My mother always told me to eat and wear warm It's the most basic needs, then the safety needs, and then the social, esteem, and self-fulfillment needs."

"I taught her that to your mother." Ryan gave his son a side glance: "After eating and clothing, people will start to have other needs. As you said, they will want to have a house to live in and a pot. For bowls and pans, I would like to be able to eat meat, wear beautiful clothes, and I would like to be able to leave my village to see the outside world."

"Hmm." Devonhill nodded again and again.

"When there are certain conditions at home and the ability to support people who are full-time, they will hope to get rid of the fate of farming for the rest of their lives, they will want to send their children to the church to study, and they will want to send their children to the army. Serving, hoping to change the fate of the mud-legged, and many children of knights and nobles with higher starting points will start as apprentice knights and ranger knights. Even if their starting point is much higher, they can't help but want more. , they want to become knights of the kingdom, become heroes of success, want to leave behind their own glorious epics, and even want to get the gift of the Holy Grail, become the Holy Grail Knights of ladies, carrying incomparable brilliance and glory, and return to their hometown, Receive the adoration and cheers of all."

Speaking of this, Ryan laughed and said, "Son, do you think these are far away from you?"

Devonhill kept his mouth shut, he was born with everything, and he really wasn't very interested in it, but the son learned slickness from Mama Lilith, wit and calmness from Mama Surya, he He just said: "Dad has done almost everything for decades, and the hearts of the whole Brittany are in control. You open up the ascending passage of knights and serfs, promote industrialization, expedition to Bafeng Mountain, sweep through chaos, and inherit the grace of Ms. Shangcheng. , to meet the expectations of the people, the realization of self-worth, but that's it, right?"

"Hey, Devin." Ryan couldn't help smiling, and he said sternly: "If that's the case, then I ask you, if getting the Holy Grail means the realization of self-worth, then why would those Holy Grail Knights show no pity for themselves? What about life?"

Devonhill was stunned, and he suddenly blushed a little.

"You are my son, Devin." Ryan's face turned straight, and the current Grey Knight Primarch was more like a father than ever: "You are blessed, so you should have high requirements on yourself, I have one I want to tell you something.

"I'm listening, father," Devonhill said earnestly.

"As a descendant of the Lord of Humanity, do you now expect that there will be allegiance to the Gray Knight Brotherhood and the Guard Legion?"

"And then get the artifact casually? The care of the uncles is over and over again?"

"And then there's no pressure at all? The Holy Grail is free? The lady shows up after almost pretending?"

"And then as long as the girl you like, agree with her as soon as you pursue her?"

"No? No?" Ryan looked at his son with a funny face: "No?"

Devonhill blushed.

Ryan ignored Devonhill, he just continued: "If someone says this to a serf, I'll give him a slap and talk to the serf about struggle? The serf has a chance to fart? They have already paid for their food. How much energy? How many social resources are there for them to allocate? How many serfs join the army every year, and how many can finally enter the old guard? Free people are their highest pursuit, we should not constantly improve their conditions and difficulties and criticize them for not being aggressive, this is the heart of the people.”

"Yes." Devonhill nodded silently.

"But that's a serf, not you." Ryan laughed, but there was no smile on his face: "You are the second generation, you are my son, you have such a powerful potential and a unique advantage. You should struggle the most, because you have the conditions, and the worst thing for you is to be a fool. I know that you are not willing to follow the Twilight sisters to the era. Are you wasting your time?"

"This is also the human heart." Ryan continued: "Everyone must have their own goals. Since ancient times, the heroes who have become Holy Grail Knights are not afraid of death, so why does he obey you, fear you, and worship you? Because of you It's Devon Hill? Wrong~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It's just because you are my son, the emperor's grandson! There will always be a day when you leave my wings. What will you do then? Kill if you don't agree? Not afraid of death? Could it be that you can kill them twice?"

Devon Hill was stunned.

"If you can't even kill the old king, then why do you become the new king?" Ryan showed his teeth: "There is a wall of kings in front of you that you don't know how to surpass, so you will admit defeat? Then you It's better to give up as soon as possible and replace it with someone else."

"I didn't!" The younger son finally roared angrily: "You wait, Dad, I will surpass you! You wait!"

"Then, I'm looking forward to it." Ryan laughed loudly, and he waved his whip to signal Grape II to enter the city quickly.

"Wait, Dad, I have a problem!" Devonhill felt that he was at a disadvantage after shouting. His son gritted his teeth and was unconvinced. He thought that he always had to find some ground.

"Say." Ryan laughed loudly, how could it be so cool to train his son.

"Is it the realization of your self-worth that you let your mother wear silk stockings all day long?" Devon Hill deliberately shouted loudly: "Dad who repeatedly realizes self-worth all day long? The great Sun King?"

Devon Hill's voice was a bit loud, and the old guard and the group of Garland witches all heard the baron's words. One group, Lane's hobby is really no secret at the Brittanian court.

Bear son! Ryan cocked his body and gritted his teeth, thinking that you did a good job!

Tomorrow you will go to the Young Guard and let Calade rule you!

Without stopping, Ryan entered Bergenhafen himself.

The Plague Five have been waiting in the city for a long time.

They have a huge secret about the town to tell Lane.
