Proof of the Sun King

In fact, Tamu Khan's offensive came more slowly than expected.

In June, Black Heart Leip sent the news to Nur, Nur began to prepare for the war, and the whole city entered a state of martial law. Wesson, with more than 15,000 people, led the army to the Blackfire Pass to strengthen the defense.

Nur started to fully mobilize, waiting for the coming of the war.

However, unexpectedly and logically, Tamu Khan and his Chaos army reacted very slowly. When Blackheart Leip came to Nur to report the situation at the Nur City Council, until August, the Chaos army still remained. On the frontier, the prince's leadership remained silent.

The army of chivalry led by Callard has even arrived at Nur.

But in fact, it's not that Tamu Khan doesn't want to march quickly, but that he and his army have reached their limit.

Limits in every sense.

This Chaos army, which has been on an expedition for more than two years, has long been exhausted. They finally arrived at the land of the border princes, which is rich in water and grass, and populated by people. Where is there no reason to loot and slaughter?

The chaotic army was scattered into thousands of chaotic war gangs. They spent several weeks venting the grievances and anguish accumulated during the expedition, venting their dissatisfaction and resentment along the way, and the chaotic minions have been extended. When they arrived in the west of the border prince's territory, Milmiden was barely repelled by the large group of defenders there. However, most of the border prince's territory had become a no-man's land, and the originally populated places were surrounded by countless ghosts and ghosts. The ruins were replaced, and the massacre caused by the Chaos Tribes had greatly damaged the vitality of this area, and it would take at least a generation of reconstruction to barely restore the state before it was destroyed.

Tamu Khan was very satisfied with this. He finally regained control of the entire army, but when he announced that he would regroup all the troops to cross the black mountains and attack the empire, this chaotic army encountered an unexpected surprise. trouble.

Cracks appeared in the interior of the Chaos Army, and many Chaos Warbands and Beastmen had deserted. They wanted to follow Tamu Khan to go on an expedition to the empire. A war gang became a deserter, fleeing and hiding in the Black Mountains, the forests and badlands of the border princes.

Similarly, the Chaos Dwarves are not interested in marching, at least not so interested. The gray-white prophet Drazhoth has seized a lot of human slaves and materials in the border princes, and plans to arrange for his men to transport all these materials back to the dark realm. Then think about going in.

The leader of the Chaos sorcerers of Dawgan, Say the Faithless, was badly wounded in the battle of Death Pass and was unable to control his army. It took the Tamukhan a lot of time to regroup and gather the entire Chaos army. When the army was reassembled, it was found that there were more than 6,000 fewer people, and the number of the army was only 40,000.

And the time has come to August. When Tamu Khan wanted to attack the Black Fire Pass again, the imperial army of more than 30,000 had already been prepared. A heavy rain in summer turned the already difficult mountain road into a a swamp.

Above the ruins of the Border Princes, Nurgle's Chosen Champion Tamuk Khan, the leader of the Dauergan tribe, Say the Faithless, and the Chaos Dwarf Grey Prophet Drazhorth are meeting.

The world had just rained, and the three leaders gathered together. A map was placed on the rotten table and pressed with dimensional stones.

It is not far from the empire, they have already arrived at the border prince territory, as long as they cross the black mountain range, it is the empire's Weisen and Aiwei territories!

"Stupid! You bastard! Short-sighted!" At this time, Tamu Khan yelled at the gray-white prophet: "You and your people have spent too much time! This can't be done! It can't be done, kind father, please, hurry up!"

"Humph!" The gray-white prophet Drazhorth responded with indifference and contempt. Considering the previous covenant and the victory in the border princes and the death pass, Drazhorth decided not to fight with Tamuk Khan. Calculate.

Daughan's sorcerer leader Say the Faithless is not healed, but he knows why Tamukhan is so anxious.

For Nurgle's corruption is deepening, spreading among the tribes of Tamuk Khan.

Nurgle doesn't like clever things and flexible things, he likes the perpetual cycle of decay and rebirth, the deepening of its corruption, the gradual loss of people and minds of the tribe of Tamukhan, perhaps this will make They become stronger, but it will be harder for Tamu Khan himself to fulfill his ideals.

At the same time, Tamu Khan himself is also evolving at a rapid rate or deeply corrupted. New suppuration and wounds appear on his body every day. Sooner or later, he will become a rotten lump. Tamu Khan’s heart is anxious. Feeling a wave higher than a wave.

Seeing the Tamu Khan who kept giving speeches loudly, Say, the unbeliever, sneered. He not only agreed with Tamu Khan's order to speed up the advance, but also made preparations with both hands.

In this way, with two votes in favor and one abstention, the war conference passed the resolution to march immediately.

The question is again, how can this chaotic army attack the black fire led by Umberto Corleone, the elector of Tuscany and the grand duke of Ivey, and the strong man in the sanctuary. The number of defenders is more than 30,000. Pass?

What's worse, due to the rainy season in August, it rained two consecutive heavy rains at the Blackfire Pass. Now that place has turned from a muddy road to a swamp, and even the demon power and engineering technology of the Chaos Dwarves cannot guarantee it there. In this environment, the artillery can be easily transported to the front line.

"There is a way." At this time, the gray-white prophet suddenly spoke, and he pointed to a place in the Black Mountains: "Here."

"Here?" Both Tamu Khan and Say, the unbeliever, noticed that in the middle of the black mountains, there was a thin line marked on it.

"Yes, right here, there is a way." Drazhorth put his thick fingers on it: "In our data, it is recorded many times that this place is called Wintertooth Pass, which used to be the A mine that has been abandoned for a long time, and now many dark creatures live there, no one remembers that it was ever traversable."

"You suggest that we, from there, march into the empire?" A dull voice came out of Tamuk's sweaty throat.

"Or storm the Blackfire Pass?" the Gray Prophet said impatiently.

"..." This time Tamu Khan fell into his thoughts. If he went through the Wintertooth Pass, the tribal army was bound to have to fight hard, but such a decision could catch the empire by surprise, because as long as it crossed the Wintertooth Pass, the opposite It is the plain of Wessenland.

"Leave 3,000 people to contain the imperial defenders of the Blackfire Pass." Tamu Khan raised his battle axe: "The rest, the whole army will pull out and advance towards the Wintertooth Pass!"

"Yes!"

…………I am the dividing line between the Kulgans in action…………

At the same time, Nuer City has just ushered in a powerful new force.

A thousand Breton knights, two infantry regiments, one remaining battalion of the old guard, and some knights' entourage and logistical army, led by the great knight of the Holy Grail, Callard de Gallament, about five thousand The army of men came to Nur.

Nuer sent the most luxurious lineup to greet them in the grandest manner. Almost all of Nuer's great nobles were dispatched to welcome the ancient knight brothers across the mountain with the highest-level welcome ceremony at the gate of the city. It was to flatter the Brittanian knights headed by Callard.

Isn't it said that Nur is a very proud city?

Isn't it said that the two successive emperors Luytpold and Karl Franz came to Nur and were coldly treated?

Only Ryan, who was standing on the sidelines from a distance, understood the mentality of the Noor City Council.

This kind of mentality is called "I would rather be with friends than slaves."

This kind of thinking is most common in empires and high elves. As for Britannia and dwarves, it is better. The former is under the supervision of the fairies in the lake and bound by the spirit of chivalry, while the latter is influenced by the spirit of dwarven ancestors and the concept of family blood. .

So why does this mentality arise?

you know.

The knights did not have time to think so much. The old Sir Krupp, headed by the Nuer Merchant Alliance, immediately took a group of plainly dressed Nuer big trench merchants out of the city to work for the army. and supplies.

Then, Emmanuel, the Countess of the Empire, hugged her son Frederick Jr. and extended cordial greetings to Callard. Callard naturally met Emmanuel and politely expressed that it was his duty to fight against evil. The knights and old guards of Brittany soon filed into the city, while two infantry regiments were stationed outside the city.

After everything was settled, Callard took the initiative to come to the Elector's Palace to find Ryan, who suggested that they go out for a walk.

The main reason is that the fairy in the lake and Suria stayed together during this time. The goddess and the female knight often went shopping on the street recently, and they also went sightseeing together.

Callard naturally has no reason not to agree.

At the same time, Nuer's official Theodore Bruckner joined them.

In this way, on the streets of the rich Nuer district at dusk, the three sanctuary powerhouses walked together on the street.

"Come from a long way, hard work, Callard." Ryan walked on the streets of Noor with his hands behind his back. The city has recently become depressed due to the preparation for the war, but this does not affect various business activities in the wealthy area. and development of social activities.

In fact, this is also Ryan's suggestion, that is, don't panic, do whatever you want, stability is everything, Emilia adopted Ryan's suggestion and did not issue a strict curfew and control order, so that Nursing Citizens of Nur maintain their faith in the Empire and in the city council of Nur.

On the marble paved road, the first man had long black hair parted in the middle and no beard. His face was handsome and full of a unique temperament, rebellious and absolute confidence. One meter nine, with a psychic vortex spinning in his eyes, and a half-handed sword with many mysterious scriptures and runes on his back.

The second man is slightly shorter, about 1.8 meters. He has black medium-length hair and a goatee. strength.

The third man is tall and tall, more than two meters ten. He has long brown hair, a little messy like a lion, with a full beard and a mustache, squinting eyes, and wearing a specially tailored black dress. His face was dark, cold, and taciturn.

"Is the kingdom okay recently?" Ryan asked casually towards Callard, the light and shadow of the street lamp shining behind him, pulling out a long shadow.

"Fortunately, nothing major happened. The knights and nobles are busy restoring production and recuperating." Callard walked on the streets of Nur, and could feel the prosperity and prosperity of this heavy industrial city: "As soon as I received your letter, I I came with people right away, but the time was tight and I didn't have time to assemble more people."

"It doesn't matter, the army is more expensive and not more expensive." Ryan shook his head. This war was not the task of the Brittanian knights, so much is enough.

"Baron Juan and Grand Baron Hux originally wanted to come, but I refused, Musillon has made a new decision, and the security is still not very good." Callard continued: "The biggest thing is that they still stay where they should be. Contribution, as for supporting the empire, leave it to us."

The three casually found an ordinary pub in the wealthy area. The hotel owner was really flattered to see the three sanctuary powerhouses entering, and Ryan came up and ordered two barrels of beer, ten pounds of roast, five pounds of bread and various vegetables. fruit.

The three of them found a booth and sat down. The waiter brought a large barrel of beer and picked it up for the three of them with a large beer mug.

"Cheers!" Beer foam splashed in the dim light.

"How many Holy Grail Knights came this time?" Theodore, the Noor officer, drank a large mug of beer, dripping down his beard: "His Excellency Count Garamente?"

"Just call me Callard." Callard also drank all the beer in the glass, and the count of Garamente relaxed slightly: "This time there are ten people, most of them are the Duchy of Bastogne and Wenzhou. The Holy Grail Knights of the Principality of Ford, who uphold the oracle of the Lady, came to Nur to aid our fellow human beings!"

"Okay! In this case, the chances of winning this war are a little better!" Theodore roared and almost collapsed the ceiling of the tavern. Officer Noor reached out and picked up a whole roasted golden brown and crispy, sprinkled with pepper. And cumin, the pork ribs smeared with honey, nibbled directly: "With the help of Lord Ryan and Lord Karad, Tamu Khan will die this time!"

"Don't be careless!" Ryan frowned slightly, and he continued: "According to the report collected by the scouts and the report of the mercenary Baron Blackheart Leip from the border princes, we not only have to deal with Nurgle's chosen champion, but also Deal with tens of thousands of Chaos Knights and Kurgan Marauder Cavalry, as well as Chaos Dwarves and their mighty war machines."

"The city council has approved the order to dispatch steam tanks and land boats." Theodore nodded, and Officer Noor threw away the gnawed bones and took off a new one with a knife. Pork Ribs: "Marimburg happily agreed, provided that the price is right, and in order to protect their achievements, they also sent a mercenary group of Mannann's Blades to protect the land cruiser, and they were willing to cooperate with us. "

"Mannan's Blade Mercenary Group! I remember that their leader is not the notorious one..." Callard nibbled at the hind leg of a roast pig.

"That's right~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is the famous mercenary baron 'Blackbeard' Dehua Teich." Ryan nodded lightly: "Recently, these mercenary **** are stationed in Nur, Blackbeard Teich. The two guys like Blackheart Repp have the same odor and get together all day to drink and have fun."

"Well...no way, mercenaries are like this, drinking, fighting and sleeping women." Callard shook his head helplessly: "But mercenaries are needed everywhere, I can understand it."

"Hahaha~"

The three sanctuary powerhouses ate the ten kilograms of roasted pigs like hungry wolves, and then ordered two more roasted chickens and a whole piece of roasted beef rib. They also ate them cleanly.

The hotel owner was a little silly watching the three people eat, and finally Theodore took the initiative to settle the bill.

Coming out of the tavern, Ryan took out a small bag of golden marks, handed it to Callard, and said with a smile: "This is for you, go and order a decent dress, this is Noor, you can't go to the banquet in armor, right?"

"No, I can't take your money." Callard was still wearing a military uniform, and the Holy Grail Knight and Devon Hill's godfather shook their hands in panic: "Lord Ryan, no need."

"Take it, this is the lady's order. Take this money and order a suitable dress for yourself. You will use it." Ryan forced Callard to accept it.

Callard had to accept the money. Ryan nodded and said nothing, and left with Theodore. In the evening, they had to go to the Nur City Council for a meeting to discuss the movements of Tamu Khan.

With a bag of gold coins in his hand, Earl of Garamente had no choice but to wander around the wealthy area, looking for a tailor.

After walking a few steps, he found a well-decorated tailor's shop, Mrs. Sayles' Tailor's.

Just this one.

Callard didn't think much, and stepped into the store: "Hello~ I want to order a dress."

"welcome!"
