Before the Winter Veil holiday, Ryan, Earl of Glamorgan held a formal year-end meeting at the winery. Crazy Sand Literature Network

Participants are:

Earl Ryan and his wife Suria.

Lake **** witch Morgiana.

Tax officer Gasparton, great housekeeper Katzenberg.

Bannerman, Holy Grail Knight Armand.

Kingdom Knights Hux, Olivier, Lops, newly promoted Kingdom Knight Lucien, etc.

Lane's two female courtiers, Teresa Trovik and Veronica Bernadotte.

The head of the Justice Church branch, Paladin Alfred.

The newly promoted Lord Winford, Sir Bertrand.

Of course, Morgiana was the most powerful and influential person in the audience, but the witch of the lake **** calmly said that I was only here to listen. She sat on Ryan's left hand, holding a delicate hard leather Read in a book, without the intention of speaking.

Teresa and Veronica have completely different states. In the cold weather of Winter Veil, Teresa's mana is particularly powerful. She is in very good shape and looks like she wants to say something.

Veronica, as a wizard of the light and flame types, looks like she can't wake up and has no energy at all. Witch Garland yawns, thinking that when the meeting is over, she will go back to the wizard's tower to make up for her sleep. Or sit in front of the fireplace with a fire, read, drink, chat with Ryan, and spend the day comfortably and comfortably.

As a matter of routine, Steward Katzenberg spoke first. The Steward reviewed the glorious victory last year, the further development of the territory, the inflow of a lot of wealth, the expansion of the population, the increase of newborns, and how to be correct in the new historical period. Address a range of opportunities and challenges.

After Katzenberg made a general summary, the tax officer Gasparton began to speak. The tax officer has followed Ryan for seven years. Although he is old and in good health, he first coughed and then said: " From the Winter Veil Festival last year to the present, the entire county has a total of 7,326 gold crowns in tax revenue, 5,100 gold crowns in expenditure, and about 2,200 gold crowns in the balance, and the total amount of food hoarded by the entire earldom's army is enough for a year and a half."

"The counties now have a total population of about 90,000 people, 3 towns, 38 villages, and a number of small settlements. There are about 1,800 troops in total, including 900 standing troops and 900 semi-professional soldiers. If we need, we can at most A levy of 5,000 people is called up without affecting farming."

"In addition... there is an additional income of 500 gold crowns from the winery, and 2000 gold crowns from the war with the Tomb Legion, and about 12,000 gold crowns from the capture of the Blackstone stronghold, this money is guaranteed by the dwarves, Baelor The King of Canada will pay over two years."

After conquering the Blackstone stronghold, the human dwarf coalition seized a lot of money. The Blackstone stronghold was filled with about 50,000 gold crowns of wealth. Humans and dwarves were divided into sixty-four accounts. Then Ryan, as the winner of the defeat of Gul, was with Francois and others. Forty-six divisions, he can therefore share the wealth of about 12,000 gold crowns.

"The fight is still not fast enough." The kingdom knight Olivier shouted with a smile: "It's so much money for one grab, I really want to see, is there any fortress occupied by vampires in the Grey Mountains?"

"That's probably gone, Olivier, what do you think the vampire's fortress is? That old guy from Kemmler has accumulated so much gold and silver for more than 20 years." The kingdom knight Lops has now kept it Beard, his voice was rough: "Or do you think we can use our own strength to deal with the undead of an entire legion?"

"Impossible, if it weren't for the large group of knights in the Duchy of Winford, the elites of the Quinalis Champion Knights Brotherhood, as well as the wood elves and dwarves, we could not have won such a glorious victory." Hux Opened up.

This kingdom knight is over thirty years old this year, and he is still alone. During the battle of the Blackstone stronghold, his face was torn open by a bloodthirsty ghost's sharp claws, leaving a few hideous scars, even if it is not a wood elf The medication worked so well that he nearly lost an eye.

After returning to the territory to cultivate for a period of time, Hux is still pale and in poor condition, but his scars are the best military medals, and now among the knights of the kingdom, he has a faint leading posture.

As for Lucian from Winford College, he showed some performance in this war. He successfully killed two barren tomb guards in the back and forth. With his military exploits and the pillow wind from Surya, he is also logical. Di was promoted to the knight of the kingdom and got the fief of half of the village, which is also considered to be outstanding.

"Count, our next plan is to stabilize production, expand the army, and at the same time prepare to cross the Charon Forest and attack the Spire Palace." Lucien suggested the next policy: "The Spire Palace is the legal territory of our earldom. We have a mana claim, and we should take it back."

"The Pinnacle Palace will definitely be recaptured, but the first thing we do now is to recuperate and preserve our strength. In this battle alone, our army has also been severely depleted. The soldiers need to be trained and replenished, and the knights have to learn how to become Qualified knight, Earl, I don't think we should send troops at will within two years." Hux raised an objection.

"I think we should take this big victory and attack the Spire Palace when the morale is high!" Olivier agreed with Lucien's point of view, he said repeatedly: "We can set off immediately after the Winter Veil Festival, carry artillery, and only need to be in the forest. You can reach the Spire Palace within ten days of marching, and as long as there are no accidents, you should be able to easily take down the castle."

"I don't agree. It's easy to win the Spire Palace, but how do we defend it? How do we deal with the undead's counterattack?" Armand also disagreed, the Holy Grail Knight said: "Olivier, I will give you five hundred people Fifty knights, one hundred sergeants, four hundred serfs, can you defend the Palace of Spires? Five days?"

Olivier thought for a while, then shook his head in frustration: "Two days at most."

"So... you still hope to play the Spire Palace now." Lops also asked.

"Of course, how do you know if you don't try it? I don't think the vampires have the energy to fight back. Didn't the black knight who called himself the Duke of Mousillon retreated after a confrontation with the Duke of Lawn for ten days? He may be busy hiding in Did you lick the wound in Mousillon?" Olivier still insisted: "Just endure this winter and wait until the weather gets warmer."

"I also think it is feasible to attack the Spire Palace." Teresa spoke. The sorceress wore a dignified slit skirt with ice blue clear swallow-sleeves today. Since she has strong mana in winter, now is the time to try the leap. She did not perform in this war, and was consciously pressed by Veronica: "Lane, what do you think?"

"..." Veronica's face was calm, she performed very well in this war, and the power of the Light Magic Vehicle made everyone look at her. In this case, she doesn't need to express herself, and winter is not because of her powerful mana. when.

The pressure came to Ryan's side, Suria glanced at her husband, and the female knight didn't say a word.

The countess's power has been infiltrating Lane's team, but as long as Lane doesn't speak, Sulia never makes decisions in front of her husband, she knows very well who is the head of the family.

Lane weighed for a while, and finally spoke.

"You must be cautious about Musilon's attack. Once you attack the Spire Palace, it will mean a full-scale war with Musilon. At present, we do not have the ability to fight the black knight." Ryan finally shook his head and rejected the issue: "At least not now."

The territory is never the bigger the better and the more the better. Now it is easy to attack the Pinnacle Palace, but it is very difficult to defend. This back and forth will consume a lot of energy. Ryan has just finished fighting with Kemmler. , his domain and his people need rest.

Ryan's prestige in the territory is naturally unparalleled, and no one dared to question his decision, so the issue died down.

"The plan for the next year is mainly to recuperate, train, rectify the army, and at the same time expand the size of the army by 200 people." Ryan said his plan: "Train, then strengthen."

"Yes!" Hux nodded, and he wrote it down.

"Collect enough orphans and talented serf children and send them to dwarves to train craftsmen, blacksmiths, and engineers. We are going to set up a small academy. You have also seen the power of dwarves' weapons. Let the future of the kingdom benefit endlessly!"

"Yes!" Katzenberg understood.

"Finally, about this year's assessment..." The final highlight came, and Ryan presented the year-end award in the eyes of everyone.

"Grant the title of Baron Huxdevon to the Knights of the Kingdom!"

"To Olivier the Dreadnought and the Dwarven Rune Plate One!"

"Give Lucien two hundred gold crowns to encourage you!"

…………

The generous year-end bonuses make everyone smile, but it is better to follow the Earl to have a bright future.

After everyone was generously rewarded, Ryan said with a smile: "Finally, we would like to thank one person in particular, this person was reckless and led his men to surrender to me as soon as I issued the "Decree of Virtue". …”

Everyone's eyes turned to Bertrand, who was at the bottom. The Green Arrow stood up with sweat on his forehead.

Lord is a more special title. In Brittany, the Lord is awarded to those who have made a very high contribution to certain things. After obtaining the title of Lord, it is generally called a knight and enjoys a higher social status. Others called him to add a "sir", which was already the highest reward that serfs could get, but the title of knighthood was not hereditary, it was only close to the nobles and did not truly enter the ranks of the knights.

Therefore, even if he has the qualifications to participate in the year-end meeting, Bertrand is only at the bottom of the table, trembling and afraid to say a word, but he is already the object of envy and jealousy of all the serfs in the entire earldom.

"In the battle of La-Maisonnell Abbey, he used the black arrow to kill Kemmler, which played a crucial role in the process and outcome of the entire battle." Lane continued: "So, I grant you the title of Lord, This is a reward for your military exploits, but at this year-end meeting, I have one more thing to give you."

A green woodland recurve bow was brought in by the squire, and Bertrand could see with his eyes how much competition this recurve bow would receive if it was put on the market. This recurve bow was produced by Athel Loren. Made of forest branches, the bow is surrounded by green leaves and vines, the blessing of the hunter is placed on the bow, and the golden carving of the power of star fire flows with illusion.

"This is my custom-made gift to the wood elves, the Woodland Spark recurve bow." Ryan handed the recurve bow to Bertrand: "This is your reward, lady above, may you continue to repay me with honor and loyalty reward!"

"Yes! My Count, Bertrand will definitely live up to your trust!" Bertrand knelt down and took the bow. Ryan noticed that his shoulders were shaking violently, which showed the Sir's excitement.

Yes, serfs and nobles, war horses and knights, Brittany has been here for thousands of years, and Bertrand knows what it means to be a knight.

"Don't be too happy, I have a task for you here." Ryan patted Bertrand's shoulder with a smile: "Hagen, Duke of Guisoleaux needs a force to help the dwarves to clear the rebellion in the Grey Mountains. Serfs and thieves, the mountains are not suitable for knights to lead troops, so I thought of you, Bertrand, you may need to spend the Winter Veil in the military camp this year."

"I must live up to the trust of His Excellency the Count!" Bertrand said loudly: "Please order the Count!"

"Well~www.wuxiamtl.com~ You pick 300 people from the Xialong Forest Patrol Battalion, and I'll give you 200 halberdiers plus Ugoer cavalry archers to form a battalion, and you will be the battalion commander. Well, remember, this time King Belgar is the commander-in-chief, fighting in the mountains, see more, learn more, ask more, give less opinions, and follow the command of King Belgar."

"Yes!"

After the meeting ended, Ryan found Teresa and Veronica. The sorceress was obviously a little unhappy that Ryan didn't agree to her. She stood up with a snort and wanted to leave. Ryan grabbed her and smiled: "What's the matter, dear Teresa? Why are you ignoring me?"

"Anyway, what do I have to do with you now, and you don't listen to what I said, why am I staying here after the meeting?" The sorceress didn't give Ryan a good look, and she obviously didn't agree with Ryan before. Proposal and brooding.

"Ha~ have you finished arguing? I want to go back to sleep after the quarrel. In this ghost weather, the only thing I want to do is hide in the warm bed to read and drink." Veronica yawned in a bad mood. , Witch Garland took Ryan's arm: "Ryan, do you want to come to my place? We can chat, cook dinner together, and give a beautiful girl to accompany you in the evening~"

"Okay, don't make trouble, Veronica." Ryan patted Veronica, then turned to Teresa and said, "I heard that you have a problem with the construction of the wizard tower?"

"I encountered some small problems." Teresa didn't really have an opinion on Ryan. The sorceress just took the opportunity to lose her temper and find a sense of presence on Ryan's side: "Do you want to go see it?"

"Let's go, Veronica, let's go and see what trouble Teresa has encountered."

"Hey~ this little princess... alright alright."
