Proof of the Sun King

The wandering knight Lops and the female knight Suria immediately raised their halberds and lances and charged towards the one-eyed giant, Alfred followed closely, and Ryan was about to follow, but he Stopped by Julius. Mobile terminal

"Not everything requires the Holy Grail Knight, Ryan." Julius shook his head calmly, and then the Kingdom Knight urged his warhorse and shouted angrily, "For the lady!"

"..." Ryan's warhammer didn't lift it up, nor did it put it down, it was a bit embarrassing.

"Roar!" The Cyclops lifted a large piece of broken stone and threw it towards the crowd, and Lops and Alfred immediately avoided it.

The boulder hit the ground and splashed a lot of dust.

The ranger knight shouted the name of the Lake Fairy, but his horse was startled and leaped high, trying to avoid the oncoming rubble.

The young ranger knight was indeed not very good at riding. He gave instructions to his steed to move on, but his steed wanted to retreat, so in the conflict situation the knight was stoned, and he and His warhorses fell to the ground together, screaming miserably.

Fortunately, the full set of plate armor on his body is still strong, and it should be just a hard injury, not fatal.

"For the lady!" The female knight Suria's long bright golden hair fluttered behind her helmet. She rode her own Pegasus and charged at an accelerated rate. The lance was on the right leg of the Cyclops. The Cyclops immediately launched a counterattack. Seeing Suria Pulling the reins, Pegasus spread its wings and flew quickly, a beautiful glide dodged the attack.

"Look at me!" Lops raised a halberd and made a slit in Cyclops' left leg, and then immediately avoided it. Alfred wanted to make another sword, but he had to see the slap of Cyclops. Give up attack and choose to dodge.

It might take them a lot of hits to take down the Cyclops completely, and it only takes one hit for the Cyclops to smash them into bolognese.

"Woo!" The Cyclops' left and right legs were injured, and it staggered to the ground, so it reached out to support itself.

Julius rushed into the battlefield, the mighty kingdom knight pointed his lance at the heart of the Cyclops, and the Pegasus under his seat learned the master's intentions, and it moved forward at full speed.

Pegasus and Pegasus knights brushed past the Cyclops, the sharp lance pierced the Cyclops' chest and then broke, leaving behind the Cyclops who fell to the ground with his hands on his chest.

After a round of idling, the Aintree brothers and sisters used their swords together, giving the Cyclops a fatal blow.

The battle was quickly over, leaving only the destroyed windmill and barn.

Several people put away their swords. Ryan noticed that the Aintree brothers and sisters seemed to know the young man. Julius motioned for him to get up, and then said in a cold tone: "Thierry?"

"Chief Instructor Julius!" The young man quickly got up and said with a guilty conscience.

"What made you decide to come alone to fight a Cyclops?" Julius's tone was ugly. The challenge level of the Cyclops was at least an elite high-level monster, and it was not recommended to fight alone.

"This... I'm ashamed. I met a serf for help and said that a Cyclops came here..." The ranger knight named Thierry was a little ashamed, and explained the cause and effect.

It turned out that this young ranger knight named Thierry was only eighteen years old and was still studying at Winford College. The young man's heart was full of passion and desire to make achievements. When he went out for an outing, he happened to meet a serf for help. So he raised his lance without hesitation and charged towards the Cyclops, without considering the difference in strength and the dread of the Cyclops.

What a boy in vain, Ryan thought with black lines all over his head.

Most of the young ranger knights in Brittany are like this. When encountering any enemy, they rush forward without thinking about the consequences. Therefore, the ranger knights always suffer heavy casualties in war.

However, from another point of view, this is also an effective means to curb the over-expansion of the noble population and the survival of the fittest.

And the noble education of the knight kingdom is exactly the same.

"What is a knight without a horse? What is a horse without a horse? This is Brittany, a horse and a knight, a serf and a noble."

The first knight king Arthur

There is nothing more proud of the knights to defend their homeland. When evil and darkness approach this land, the knights of Brittany will never sit in the castle, stand behind the high wall and wait to die, they will cross. War horses, lances raised, brave any incoming foe, chivalry and faith in lake fairies guarantee no cowards.

In this regard alone, the nobles of Brittany are stronger than the nobles of the empire, and many imperial nobles still prefer to appoint generals rather than go out to battle themselves.

"Ah! You are the Holy Grail Knight, Lord Lion Macado! It's a great honor to meet you!" Thierry suddenly recognized Ryan, and he was so excited that he rushed to shake hands with Ryan, but Ryan had no choice but to shake hands with him, by the way Asked his own good question: "How come there are cyclops here?"

"I'm not too sure. I heard that there have been several giants with golden armor and golden armor in the Baron of Jean recently. They often haunt at night. When they see the beastmen slashing, the beastmen tribe that has been ravaged by the Sharon Forest recently avoided heavy casualties. Gene took it away, so I came here." Thierry scratched his head helplessly.

"..." Ryan suddenly understood something.

Going to a junction ahead, Baron Jean led this to appear in front of Ryan.

The Lake Fairy treats Ryan well. The baroniality she arranged for Ryan can already be described as prosperous. It is a town with a population of two or three hundred households, fields across the fields, a vineyard, a horse farm, and a standing Castle on the hillside.

This is my future territory. Ryan rode a horse and stood on a high place, looking out at the entire baronies in the distance.

Looking into the distance, in addition to the Jean towns, there are also some villages in the fields. It is initially estimated that there should be many villages around the Jean Baron.

"The Baron of Jean has a total of one town and five natural villages. The registered population is about one thousand households, and it has two kingdom knights and five ranger knights under its jurisdiction." Ryan took out his baron canonization certificate and wrote in detail. The detailed scale of this fief is clear.

"To the north of this barony is the Sharon Forest. There are many beastmen tribes in the forest. The east of the baronial is very close to the Duchy of Winford, and the south is bordered by the Duchy of Carcassonne. This side is close to the Holy Land of the Lake Fairy. There won't be much threat, the northwest along the Chinon is the direction to the Principality of Bordeaux, and the Southwest is connected to the Principality of Beleon by road, Mr. Lane, please note that from Estalia The invaders are still at war with Duke Theodoric in the Duchy of Beleon, please be careful." This was the advice of the female knight Suria, and then the female knight and her brother bid farewell to Ryan with their own people and returned to their own Principality.

It also means that this place is a place of four battles. Except for the Duchy of Winford and the Duchy of Carcassonne in the south, which is backed by him, there may be enemies in many places, Ryan frowned.

This place is indeed a rich land, but it is also full of challenges.

The process of entering the castle was very simple. After he proved his identity, a nobleman in charge of the escrow immediately greeted him. He looked about forty years old and had a bushy beard: "You must be Your Excellency Ryan, right? My name is Gasparton, and I'm the tax collector here."

"Hello!" Ryan reached out and shook hands with him. He had learned from the Brittanian court that the Lake Fairy had arranged for him a tax collector, who was a clergyman of the Convent of Saints, although he was The lake fairy is very colorful, but it can be trusted.

It was like an assistant sent by his lady.

So sometimes what the Lake Fairy said "will not interfere" is just a polite word. This goddess is used to deeply intervening in mortal affairs, and her habits will not be changed so easily, especially if she is her god-chosen champion. , at most just because of his strength and importance, some things can be discussed.

"The journey has been exhausting, Mr. Lane, I have arranged for someone to clean the castle, and there are many things that you need to see in person. You can choose to watch it immediately, or you can take a rest and choose another day to watch it." Gasparton took it out. After reading Big Ben's account books and various things, he asked Ryan.

"I'll go to the castle to see." Ryan nodded, some things he had better look at immediately, but now they have to enter the city first.

At the gate of the town, the citizens and serfs of the whole city are dispatched. In Brittany, the serfs serve a lord, and the lord will provide the serf with a place to live. In peacetime, the civilians will harvest the lord, and the farmers can leave the harvest. Look at his master.

In fact, Brittany before was not like this.

During the reign of Tyler and the previous King of Knights, there were still a large number of peasants in Brittany. Although they were also classified as serfs, their life was better than that of the current serfs. At least they had their own land and did not have to bear the burden of Excessive taxes and corvée also enjoy more power.

However, since the Dole Tower Incident, the civil war that broke out among the dukes caused the yeoman farmers to disappear on a large scale. Although the subsequent knight king Taylor has taken measures against this, it is an indisputable fact that the land has been swallowed up by the dukes.

Later John I and John II were real tyrants. After the death of Taylor, Brittany spent about 130 years under the rule of these two kings. Launched the war of chivalry to expedition abroad, and even hit the southern wasteland to fight against the greenskin army as far as possible.

In the devastating Battle of Badwater, Brittany lost more than 8,000 knights and 20,000 levies.

Since then, in order to appease the dukes who have suffered huge losses, John I and John II have delegated a lot of power, and the dukes have also swallowed the land of the peasants. It should be emphasized here that whether the Knights of the Holy Grail has nothing to do with claiming land, Whether the Eight Virtues have both has nothing to do with land annexation. At most, the Holy Grail Knight treats serfs through relatively low tax rates and land redemption, which does not mean that they will give up land annexation.

Because of this, the serfs have no desire for the Holy Grail Knight to become the knight-lord who rules this territory, because it means too much.

Many knight lords charge serfs a 90% tax in addition to the basic ration, and the Holy Grail Knight is generally not so harsh.

Any disputes between serfs and serfs will be hanged as long as they are intervened by the knight master. The crime is the same regardless of the severity. For the knight master, as long as it is a serf crime, there is no need to worry about the punishment. Only the Holy Grail Knight will not, when they are present Justice will surely be served while listening in.

There are many other benefits besides this, which are also many reasons for Ryan's popularity. The serfs are sincere in their desire for the rule of the Holy Grail Knight. In the dark age, the Holy Grail Knight is their only remaining light and hope.

It is a pity that the number of Holy Grail Knights is rare, and most of them are guarding the Holy Land of the Goddess.

There are about 300 permanent residents in Jin Town. The town consists of low city walls and hundreds of shabby houses~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, there are hotels, restaurants, and various guilds in the town. Sharia Temple and Barracks.

At the end of the town, through a short mountain road, you can reach the Baron Castle of Lane. This castle occupies a large area and is built on the middle of the mountain. Water flows through the back of the mountain. The entire castle is built by huge stone walls, divided into outer The castle is inhabited by the lord's family and his servants, and the towers and walls of the outer court are sufficient for the garrison and the tax collector.

Ryan refused the help of others. He pushed open the heavy door with his own strength. The oncoming dust made both Lops and Alfred frown. The four-storey castle inner courtyard has been seen in many places. Decayed and broken, but overall ready for immediate occupancy.

"Has Jean ever had a baron before?" Ryan asked Gasparton.

The 40-year-old man replied immediately: "Yes, Mr. Lane, but since a baron died in battle 33 years ago, there has been no more baron here, and it is usually managed by the Marquis of Ascot. "

Lane nodded. Barons are not hereditary. This is the same whether it is Brittany or the empire. After a baron dies, the duke can take back the territory in a grand manner, either for his own use, or for others.

The current one who has the legal claim to the Jean Baron is the Marquis of Connery Ascot, who is affiliated to the Duchy of Winford. He will be the head of Ryan's name. Of course, it is only a name, and the Kingdom Knight is not qualified to order the Holy Grail Knight.

The Castle of the Marquis of Ascot is located about 30 kilometers east of the Jean Baron, within the Duchy of Winford.

After simply arranging their temporary residences, Ryan came to the auditorium of the inner court and said to Gasparton, "Let's start."

"Okay, Your Excellency Ryan."
