Proof of the Sun King

The lights are lit every night in Curona, and the lights are different in different areas. Some are advanced magic lights, some are just simple torches. Teams of sergeants and serf soldiers patrol the city walls and streets. , the capital of the millennium got rid of the shadow of the undead and restored order.

Inside the private chapel of the Royal Palace of Curona, the dome made of colorful glass reflects colorful light, and the interior of the room is decorated with carpets imported from Tyrell and fine tapestries woven by the prophets of the lake gods, and those that record the ancestors. Paintings and sculptures of great stories, the most numerous of which are undoubtedly the various glorious deeds of the first Duke of Connecticut, Calliod - the Brave.

Calliod the Brave and the first-generation Duke of Leonathay "The Bold" Sirruf are brothers. They went out hunting together when they were young, but unfortunately met a lion during the hunt. The unexpected ending is this. The brothers teamed up to solve an adult lion, and then stripped the lion's skin and put it on the body. The brothers became famous throughout Brittany. After the rise of Arthur, Schirrof and Calliod first. I later joined the team of "Holy Grail Companions".

Therefore, on the family coat of arms, Connet is a red and blue lion standing upright, and Leonace is a red fire-breathing lion on a white background. They both choose lions as an important part of the coat of arms because of this. reason.

After that, the Duke of Connet occupied more of the throne of the knight king. This is because the capital Curona is located within the Duchy of Connet, so the Duke of Connet always gets more opportunities.

Lone Leo Cornwall, fully armed, knelt alone in a room belonging to his family's private church, his face showing the frailty of convalescence.

The north of Brittany has turned into a land of nightmares, where the undead are rampant and the riots continue. Matthew Bard and his undead army have killed Curona and almost destroyed the country.

When Lawn woke up, order had been restored, but he was left with a worn-out and fragmented knight class and starving serfs. Perhaps the only good news was that the capital had not been destroyed, but The whole city is discussing a terrible thing, "Viper" Matthew Bard is the illegitimate son of the Duke of Lawn.

In this regard, Lawn can't make any excuses, and he doesn't want to justify or find reasons for himself, the glorious Holy Grail Knight will not lie, he never intends to deny that Matthew Bard is indeed his illegitimate son, this is his sin, He has to carry it himself.

From time to time the face of the child's mother flashed past Lawn's eyes, and the Duke fell into a deep sadness.

"Ultimately, I can't protect anything, my family, my children, my subordinates, even myself."

"Viper" Matthew Bard has died on the banks of the Sandnes River, and the Earl of Lane who defeated him... Now it should be the Duke of Mousillon, who is leading a huge fleet of Brittanian knights, imperial mercenaries, A coalition of dwarven allies and wood elves swept across Musilon in an effort to restore the kingdom's territory that had been lost for three hundred years, and it took Raun several weeks to recover from serious illness and pain. .

Outside Richard's Castle, Lawn was nearly killed by Matthew Bard's serpent's sword, and it was his Hippogryph Biquis who rescued him, and for a long time Lawn and his horns The hippogryph had to drag his severely injured body to survive in the wild. He was seriously injured and had no food or medicine. He was almost lost in the wilderness.

The only thing that saved him was the Sword of Curona in his hand. No matter what the situation, this artifact exudes a bright aura and guides the direction. The constant warm current on the sword body is injected into his body to help him replenish. Physical strength, the wilderness in northern Brittany is not a safe place. There are often looting Norsca people in the wild, scattered green-skin tribes and the occasional undead almost make Lawn feel desperate.

He eventually returned to Curona, where he fell seriously ill.

Pain, remorse, grief, shame almost overwhelmed Lawn, many times, he almost succumbed to the power of the disease, many times he felt the call of hell, only the lady in the depths of his consciousness told him Speaking, the voice of the fairy in the lake was soft like the fluff of a unicorn, which brought Raun strength. Her divine power poured into Raun's body and helped him maintain his life. The goddess encouraged Raun to summon the courage to face it again. all of these.

Lawn was in great pain at the time. He was really unwilling to wake up and face the reality. The duke prayed to the goddess to let him leave this world peacefully, to free him, to end his duties and missions, and to redeem his soul.

But his mistress refused. At this time, the voice of the fairy in the lake became as ruthless as the sharpest blade. The goddess coldly refused Raun's request, and she calmly told Raun that he could not end his duty. , He can't just seek liberation like this, when Raun enjoys the gift and glory of the Holy Grail, he must also pay a relative price, he can't just die like this, the fairy in the lake does not allow his cowardice and escape, she does not agree.

His lifelong chivalry and devout devotion have doomed Lawn's choice. He cannot refuse the request of the fairy in the lake. He will obey, and he can only obey.

So, the power of the goddess pulled him back from the gates of hell, and Lawn took hold of hope and his own life.

Now, the recovered Lauren-Leo Cornwall kneels before the statue of the nymph in the lake, and every tapestry, portrait and sculpture in the room speaks of the ancient history of his family, and in the room At the end of the lake, the statue of the fairy in the lake is isolated here. The face of the goddess is very calm, and her will is hidden behind the seemingly non-existent smile of the statue.

"My lady, what should I do?" Lawn asked in a low voice, he clenched the sword of Curona, the bright light from the sword made the room less dim, and the candle was still burning brightly. Like the education he received since he was a child, Raun repeatedly prayed for the goddess's answer, just like hearing the goddess' soft words again when he was in a trance, he was eager to hear the goddess's guidance again.

But the only answer to him was silence.

"Laun, are you there?" At this moment, an old voice came from outside the room.

"Here I am, uncle."

Entering from the door was the current knight king Richard, the old king wearing a light blue silk robe and white satin shirt: "Do you feel better?"

"Much better." Lawn turned around, the Duke looked at his uncle, and suddenly felt that Richard had not seen each other for a few days, and Richard had... indescribable changes.

When he was king before, Richard naturally had a tyrannical aura about him. Although he was old, he was still deep and unpredictable.

But since Lawn recovered, Richard's breath has changed. He is like an ordinary old man now, and he feels a little more refined and easy-going. The two sat opposite each other in the room.

The candidate for the future king has been decided, and the uncle has also unloaded the burden, right? Lawn seemed to understand.

I saw Richard said kindly: "The Kingdom Council has come to a conclusion that neither Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, nor Bethmond, François, or Lane, they plan to pursue your faults too much. Ryan even proposed that you continue to be the regent of the kingdom, which is good news."

"Uncle..." Lawn didn't know where to start. He bowed his head in shame: "I'm ashamed of your entrustment."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Richard shook his hand, and he said with a smile: "Actually, that's fine. I suddenly understand that neither me nor you may be able to take this kingdom out of trouble."

"Lane, what an amazing knight." It would be a lie to say that Lawn was not moved by Ryan's refusal to pursue him. After hearing the news, he felt relieved, and Duke Connet sighed deeply: "If it wasn't for him, Matthew Bard must have turned the country upside down."

Richard did not answer Lawn's words, on the contrary, the old knight king suddenly smiled and said: "In fact, even if there is no Matthew Bard, this country is about to be overturned, the outbreak of the dead is just an introduction, this country is like A speeding carriage, the horse has no idea where it is going, we are all relying on manpower to support the carriage desperately, and run wildly with the carriage."

"Uncle?" Lawn couldn't help laughing, and the duke shook his head again and again: "Your metaphor is too..."

"I'm not kidding." Richard stroked a smile and said, "Since when did the horses disappear? Probably after the Dole Tower incident? Since then, the carriages that have lost control have been running faster and faster. , it is getting more and more uncontrollable. We kings can only support it with all our strength. His Majesty Taylor did his best to push the carriage back to the road, and the two tyrants John I and John II later They thought they could still control the wagon like they were holding the reins, but in the end they almost pushed the wagon into a deep ditch by the side of the road."

Lawn listened silently, he was suddenly sad, he knew what Richard wanted to say next.

"Don't I want to control this carriage when I was king?" Richard continued with a smile: "I also tried my best, but I can see it better than John I and John II, that is this kingdom I work hard. Help, I can, I want to regain control, but I can't. Therefore, after the forging ahead in the first few years was repeatedly blocked, I have been a paper painter for the next 30 years, reconciling the relationship between the dukes, maintaining stability and compromise. It's my label."

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. If I continue to insist on controlling the carriage, I will only end up being pulled from the throne like John II." Richard continued: "It seems that even if you become a king, You are more powerful, you are more talented, and you will be much better than me, but it cannot change the fact that the carriage continues to run wildly, and the fact that the horse is gone."

"Uncle..." Lawn had tears in his eyes. After this major blow, Lawn had more insight into everything about the kingdom. He understood Richard's position. When he was young and vigorous, he also complained about why Richard was right Turning a blind eye to the kingdom's many problems, now it seems that he is not turning a blind eye, but is powerless to change: "Then why can Ryan?"

"Have you seen the Empire's steam tank?" Richard smiled even more happily: "Lian gave up looking for horses to control the carriage. He knows the problem of the carriage better than anyone, and he has more strength than us combined. While holding the carriage, he slowly replaced the parts, added new accessories, and eliminated the old ones. Before he knew it, he had changed the wooden carriage into a semi-steam powered iron carriage. Is there any horse at this time? It's not that important anymore, but Ryan also found the horse at the same time."

"He has now taken control of the carriage and is about to retrieve the horse and put it back on the carriage."

"Musilon...that's the horse!" Lawn said in a voiceless voice, "I see!"

"That's right, Musillon is the horse, no matter the king knows that." Richard nodded: "But even if everyone knew, they still couldn't get it back."

"Let's see if Ryan can do it now." Richard finally made a conclusion, he stroked his long gray beard: "Lawn, your father Louis came to see you before, and he left a message for me Report it on your behalf.”

"It's definitely not a compliment." Lawn remembered his father Louis - The Upright~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and only smiled bitterly.

"He said you did it yourself."

"Hahahaha!" Lawn laughed self-deprecatingly, with endless sadness in his laughter.

"Yeah, I did it myself."

…………I am the dividing line of my own making…………

In early July, the cursed city of Musilon.

An army of more than 20,000 has surrounded the city, and the number of undead defenders in Musilon has been reduced to the lowest point in history. The blood dragon family vampires who stayed behind Musilon did not dare to go out to fight in the city. They were trapped in the lonely city. Prepare to hold on.

At this point, no one doubted that the Knight Road army led by Ryan could conquer Musillon Castle.

But what happened next was tricky for everyone.

That is, Ryan's army stormed for a week, and dozens of artillery opened fire together. The rain of arrows from the wood elves and the dense barrage of the dwarf thunder gunmen firmly suppressed the vampire's counterattack, but Musilon was still very strong. The ten-meter-high city wall seemed to laugh at the self-control of the Knights Road army.

After several days of continuous onslaught, Musillon still stood, and there was no sign of falling. The vampires stationed here were determined to resist to the end. Bellegar led the army to approach the city gate several times, but the undead poured blood or sprayed poisonous mist. Retreat, because Musilon is located at the mouth of the river, it is impossible to dig tunnels.

The only effective siege weapon was the magic crystal cannon "Morgiana's New Toy", which blasted the wall several times, causing it to shake, but then the necromancers stationed in the city would immediately chant. Undead magic, fortified walls, and mobilized those tireless skeleton warriors to fill the gaps.

In the camp of the Knights Road army outside the city, Ryan and others felt great trouble for the long-term attack.

"Looks like it's time to change the plan."
