Proof of the Sun King

After the temporary departure of Louis, Duke of Connet, and Duke of Leonasay, King Richard sat alone on the throne, thinking about it all. . . Please see the most complete! novel!

There is no doubt that his great-nephew Ancy-des 'Mond' is worthy of his trust and teaching. It was his mistakes that ruined the entire army of chivalry. For this war, his great-nephew has a great responsibility. responsibility.

Now, the king has to face the aggressive dukes. The lost army needs to be compensated by a huge sum of money from the kingdom's finances. In a short time, the king does not know how to find such a sum. huge sum of money.

It seems that he is going to discuss the loan with Vanderguber-Schultz, the "lender" of the Grand Duke of Marienburg. When he thinks of the money owed by the royal family's finances to Marienburg, the old king's face is full of waves' It hurts. He did the math last year. Britannia already owes Marienburg more than a hundred thousand gold coins for short-term royal debts, which is not a long-term debt.

Well, money aside, Richard has to deal with who is responsible for this.

First of all, he must set a tone that he, as a king, must not undertake this responsibility, otherwise his throne is in danger of being shaken.

In any case, Onshy is dead.

Adelaide also died, and only Baron Lane survived.

Thinking of this, Richard's heart burst into flames. If this can be changed a little, if Ryan died, one of Aunghi or Adelaide survived, and led the 6,000 remnants to victory. How nice is this.

Then the 'nature' of this war can be changed. He will vigorously publicize this tragic victory, shape the commander of this army into a national hero, and vigorously advocate that the destruction of Wan Moyan can make the country worry-free for decades and create A kind of "victory is victory" and "big victory of passing level" to silence everyone.

But the one who survived and finally won was the god-chosen champion of the lake fairy 'girl' - Ryan Macado.

Although this kid is very strong, he has never been his own, never been.

On the contrary, his faction is extremely colorful. He used to be a white wolf knight, his adoptive father was a white wolf knight, and his godfather was the Duke Griffin of the Empire. Another vassal of François, Duke of Winford, who is "legged". From any point of view, he is not one of his own.

At the same time, the army he led also included Bastogne's army.

But can Richard directly punish Ryan? Can he hold Ryan responsible for not rescuing the Knights Road army and the Marquis of Anxi?

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 victory.

At this juncture, he was the hero of the country, and Richard must not punish him publicly, otherwise his prestige would certainly be damaged.

But from his standpoint, he can't give too high a reward to this guy who doesn't belong to his own faction, otherwise it is equivalent to encouraging the knights in disguise to set up another mountain and not obey the command, which will further weaken the kingship.

This is tantamount to capitalizing on the enemy. Inside the kingdom, François, Duke of Winford and Duke of Bastogne, Percy 'Mond', have always had a deep conflict with him. This time, the war of chivalry is left The armies of these two principalities did not suffer great losses, and they also experienced the baptism of blood and fire.

The king didn't want to let them benefit any longer.

But this goes around again, and it's still the same sentence, it was Ryan who demolished Wan Moyan, and he brought back victory.

It's almost a dead end, and it's still a dead end to go around.

The king knew he needed to think from a different angle.

As for not holding a triumphal ceremony, it is not a big problem. In the case of such heavy losses, not holding a triumphal ceremony can be justified from any point of view, and Ryan can't force it. At that time, the eight dukes who have been wiped out will object. .

After thinking about it for a while, the king's heart gradually became clear.

Victory is definitely still victory. This time, the chivalry war was not a fiasco. On the contrary, it was a glorious victory!

So since you don't want to attribute the credit to the living, it's better to attribute it to the dead!

As for Ryan's group of people, let them hang out first, kill their arrogance, and then give them enough rewards to make them shut up.

Now, to wait for the arrival of the dukes, the king and the dukes will meet to discuss how the war will be brought to an end.

…………

In late September, when Ryan led the right army out of the forest, the autumn in the Knights of Brittany was getting stronger, and the serfs were numbly harvesting food.

Walking in the wilderness, the knights felt very relieved, they protected the people of the field through their efforts.

They are now victors.

There is nothing more glorious than defending one's homeland.

There used to be a saying that if the knights of Brittany seldom went to war to defend their homeland, if it wasn't for the Holy Grail knights who needed to guard the Holy Land of the 'Ladies', perhaps Brittany would The knights were able to conquer the world.

This is of course an unreliable speculation, but it also shows how the people of the old world are afraid of the knights of the knight kingdom.

The army advanced along the road, and then arrived at Artois Castle, which is only a day away from Curona. Ryan received an order from the King of Knights. The army will rest at Artois Castle, with only Ryan waiting. The leadership of several people can go directly to Curona and wait until the notice. Of course, they will rest collectively at Artois Castle tonight.

This order has already made Ryan smell something different. Normally, an army can't enter the city after 'fighting' with a 'chaotic' creature, and it usually takes a period of rest to observe the aftermath.

But Ryan still smelled something different.

When the army approached Artois Castle, the sight in front of him made Ryan's eyes widen.

An army is already waiting for them.

No, not an army.

are two armies.

Under the towering Artois Castle, two "elite" kingdom knight troops are waiting for their arrival.

On the left, the family coat of arms of the red 'color' fire dragon is swaying in the wind, and the golden 'color' tassel under the flag is swaying with the autumn wind.

Under the banner, the fiery red 'color' Bastogne Kingdom knights in full armor stood in full force. Their shields were uniformly engraved with the shield emblem of the red dragon on a yellow background. Dozens of Kingdom knights stood in a very neat queue.

Gold helmet and silver armor, Yu Yi is brilliant.

The knight standing at the front has the power like a giant dragon. He has a fortitude and a face full of vicissitudes. Around his body, the space is sinking slightly, with a reddish '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" Percy "Mont" de Bastogne: "Salute to the knights who have returned victorious!"

"salute!"

On the right, the pure white horse is 'swinging' on the family coat of arms flag, and the Pegasus knight holding the flag is shuttled in the golden 'color' of the autumn sunset.

The Duke of Winford "long 'legs'" François smiled and stood in front of the knights of the Winford Kingdom in silver and white armor. His elegant face was full of smiles. When he saw Ryan and the others, the duke himself beckoned: "Good afternoon, soldiers, good fight."

"Father!" The Aintree brothers and sisters called out one after another. They didn't expect the Duke to be waiting for them here!

"Father! I..." Gabriel also rushed in front of Duke Red Dragon. Duke Red Dragon smiled roughly, and then patted his chest: "It's okay, I didn't embarrass the family."

Only Ryan was left in place, and the Holy Grail Knight himself smiled awkwardly.

I'm used to it, since he came to this world, he has always been alone.

The careful Surya Ma realized Ryan's embarrassing situation, she immediately turned around and said softly to Ryan, "Come together, Lord Ryan, father has something to say to us."

"Okay." Ryan shrugged, seeing the "female" knight being so understanding, his heart rose a little.

The Duke of Red Dragon came to shake his hand and signaled: "Thank you, young man, I have heard what Gabriel said, and I will not say more nonsense. I am also a Holy Grail Knight, I will remember you."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Ryan could feel the extremely terrifying aura coming from Duke Percy 'Mond'.

The Duke of Red Dragon is even stronger than François, Duke of Winford. The only human powerhouses that Lane knows, only the Lake God 'Witch' and the Duke of Griffin can shoulder with him.

This model of chivalry, the great sanctuary knight has always been devoted to allegiance to the lake fairy 'girl', his dream is to become a holy grail knight guarding the holy place of the lake fairy 'girl', only the lake fairy 'girl' orders him Govern the people by accepting the lordship of his ancestors' land, instead of charging as a Holy Grail Knight.

Even so, the duke became a well-known beastman slayer. In addition to this, the duke himself was not interested in governing the realm, he always 'handed over' this task to his deputy, and then led his own family knights We went to annihilate evil, his lance 'hole' through doom bulls and greenskin warlords, his long sword beheaded vampire counts and 'chaos' champions.

The Duke firmly followed the teachings of the Lake Fairy's 'daughter'. When the opponent was a human being, he used a lance as long as he shot down the opponent and never made up for it. This earned him the respect of countless people, even His enemies also admired his noble character. The duke was always committed to fighting the evil in his territory, and only returned to the castle to rest when the territory was safe.

"It's hard work, Ryan, you've done a great job." Francois came to Ryan, he reached out and patted Ryan's shoulder: "Other words are not suitable to say here, let us enter Artois Castle and let Let's arrange accommodation and dinner for the army first, the soldiers are all tired."

"Okay." The secretary of Ma You's special "door" should be.

Arranging lodging and meals for the army of more than 4,000 people was a hard job, but it was not the knights' turn to do it. Ryan followed the two dukes and their descendants directly to the heart of Artois Castle, where, The 'servants' have already arranged a sumptuous dinner to reward the knights who have returned from the expedition.

The group walked towards the courtyard inside the castle, and Ryan noticed that it was a very, very large three-story castle, which was built up of heavy boulders, and there was a window every ten steps or so, so the soldiers could look out from the inside' To shoot 'shots, the city walls are lined with artillery and large 'bed' crossbows.

"So closely guarded, who is garrisoning this castle now?" Ryan asked with interest.

Brittany is not entirely without artillery.

Unlike the empire on the opposite side of the gray 'color' mountains, if the covenant between the empire and the dwarves is called the eternal blood alliance, then the relationship between Britannia and the dwarves can only be said to be average.

The Empire is seldom willing to share the secrets of fire 'powder' 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. The effect is not good.

"The Castle of Artois is now under the custody of Baron Ziger. He rarely stays here. This is not his territory, but is directly administered by the king himself." Francois took over Lane's question: "This used to be The Duchy of Artois, it was only after the Dole Tower incident that the Duke of Artois was also involved in the civil war."

"The Duke of Artois died in battle? But it's impossible to find an heir, right?" Lane noticed that even though more than two hundred years have passed, many places in the castle can still vaguely see the past Coat of arms of the Artois family.

The Duke of Red Dragon Percy 'Mond' sighed softly: "I really can't find it."

"Why?" Now it was the 'female' knight Surya's turn to ask, and she was also very interested in this matter.

"When the civil war ended, the Knight King Taylor accidentally discovered that the Duke of Artois and his own family had become vampires, and they were gradually becoming midnight nobles. In desperation, His Majesty Taylor and the Lake God's daughter 'His Majesty the Witch together launched a war of chivalry and wiped out Duke Zilfroy of Artois and his family."

"At this time, the entire Duchy of Artois has been 'harassed' by beasts for ten years, and many territories have been submerged by forests~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Many populations have turned to dust. After the war, Artois There is no suitable heir for the title of Duke of Artois. Count Fogel, who is the most qualified to inherit the title of Duke of Artois, has died in the civil war. Therefore, the Duchy of Artois was taken over by the Duchy of Lyonnais, Le-Angou The Duchy of Lang and the Duchy of Connet were divided. Obviously, since the Duke of Leonasay was the king of knights at that time, the Duchy of Leonasay was divided into much more territory than the other two dukes."

"I see." Ryan nodded.

Before I knew it, it started to rain outside the castle.

The autumn wind is blowing, the night is raining, and there are dark clouds outside the castle. The fine autumn rain falls from the sky, adding its final touch to the autumn harvest. Sitting in the banquet hall of the castle, everyone can smell the fragrance and freshness of the soil. air.

With the sound of rain outside the window, everyone took their seats and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. Ryan consciously sat down at the end of the long table, and Suria sat next to him.

Francois first looked at Ryan, then looked at the 'daughter' sitting next to Ryan, and smiled meaningfully: "Lane, do you know how much trouble you have caused in this chivalry war? Now All the dukes of the whole kingdom, except the dukes of Palaeon and Beleon, are rushing to the capital Curona to negotiate the reward and punishment for you and your army."

"I know." Ryan smiled bitterly, he understood that he did not go back to support the annihilated Marquis of Anxi, but chose to go straight to Wan Moyan, which was a controversial decision, because knights were professional soldiers and their duty was to obey orders.

Although, in terms of results and long-term, Lane did nothing wrong.

"Well, you have a good sense of self-knowledge, eat first, and after eating, let's analyze this matter, let's see what we can get, and what price we have to pay."

"I understand, my duke."
