Proof of the Sun King

The Great Swordsmen of the Empire are quite fancy, they tend to wear tight uniforms and trousers with nice dwarven plate armour, all Great Swordsmen prefer to wear hats instead of helmets, with huge pins on them. Even on a single person, the colors of the Great Swordsman's uniform can be called rich. The colors of the left and right trouser legs are always different, and the colorful colors represent the Great Swordsman status of different families and different regions.

Immediately someone arranged for the griffin knights and the great swordsmen to rest elsewhere, and Ryan had prepared a place for them, while the count himself and the future countess took Anton to the reception room on the second floor: "Come, Anton, my righteous brother, let's sit down first, and I arranged an exquisite dinner in the evening, and you can enjoy many different delicacies."

"Oh~ I'm looking forward to it." Anton Ferdinand looked at the luxurious decoration in Lane Castle with interest: "Your castle won't be very big, but it's very comfortable."

Opening the door of the living room, the comfortable heating shocked several people. Before Ryan could speak, the Marquis Surya smiled and said, "Your Excellency Anton, you are Ryan's righteous brother, and the future will be mine. Brother, although the Empire and Brittany have occasional frictions in the history of more than a thousand years, we will always support each other in the most difficult times. Please don’t see outsiders. It’s like being in your own home here. And Ryan is your family."

A few etiquette, the gentleness and virtuousness of a standard noble lady showed in front of An Dong, and Earl Griffin, who came from afar, felt like a spring breeze: "Please don't be so polite, Mrs. Suria, you will call me my righteous brother directly in the future. That's it, Griffin will always be your friend, my father and your father, His Excellency François, have formed a deep friendship, and I believe the friendship between our families will definitely continue."

"Thank you, Brother Anton, I will." Suria showed a standard smile. From sitting down to the third minute of the conversation, she successfully made the Earl Griffin feel close enough.

Ryan looked at everything in his eyes, and he continued: "Is the godfather okay recently? I haven't heard anything from him recently."

"Everything is fine with my father. The Griffin Knights have been resting since they destroyed several robber groups in Rickward Forest." Anton nodded, he relaxed a little, and Suria fell for him With a glass of high-quality Winford red wine, Ryan served delicious cakes, and Earl Griffin was more relaxed. He used a silver knife and fork to fork the cake, and said mockingly, "By the way, he also eliminated a group of rogue knights."

"..." Ryan frowned slightly after hearing this, Rogue Knight?

Surya was more sensitive, she immediately realized something, and the female knight looked at Ryan worriedly.

There was no change in the expression on Ryan's face.

The female knight then tried to provoke a topic with Anton: "I heard that the northern part of the empire is very chaotic recently?"

"Well, as you said, Chaos invasions have become more frequent than ever. The combined forces of Hawk and Ostland were only recently defeated by the Chaos army of Brass Fortress, and the Wolf Fort on the front line was once again completely wiped out by the Chaos army. In order to level the ground, it was not until Ludwig and I led a large group of knights and imperial troops to repel the Chaos army, forcing them to return to the brass fortress." Anton looked tired: "Hawk The collar and Oster Territory were severely damaged in this battle, especially the Hawk Territory, the army in the territory has been reduced to the lowest point in history."

Hawke's Land is the smallest province of the Empire: a small piece of land between the Central Mountains and the Tarabek River. The forest and its hordes of wild beastmen cover most of the Hawke, except for the modest settlements in the south and the farmland that stretches along the riverbanks.

Before the Great Crusade of the Red Flames, the Hawkland used to be very prosperous, but when most of the knights of the entire empire participated in the Great Crusade of the Red Flames, in the central mountain range in the north of the Hawkland, one of the greatest beastmen and beastmasters announced that own rise.

It is Gottwo the Cruel, the greatest Beastmaster the Beastmen have ever known.

Let's not talk about it for the time being. What Ryan knows is that the Beastmaster almost slaughtered the Oster Territory and the Hawk Territory and almost completely destroyed the Hawk Territory's capital, Herzig, if it wasn't for the knight who completed the Great Expedition They came back in time to route and kill Gottwo, perhaps the northern part of the empire would be overwhelmed by the hordes of beastmen.

"The threat of chaos is getting closer and closer. Sky Mage predicts that it will not be long before a larger group of barbarian troops will try to attack the northern part of the empire." Anton said in a low voice: "We don't want to be included. Too much loss in the fight, Ryan."

"Britannia has just repelled the vampire army. We suffered heavy losses in the chivalry war three years ago. The dukes need to rest the army, and we need to accumulate strength." Lane also whispered: "The human kingdoms We're all weak now."

The heavy snow continued to blow outside, and the reception room was as warm as spring.

Anton stood up, with some unnatural caution on his face, he walked to the glazed window and looked at the snowy scenery outside, in the distance, the prosperous Jien town was smoking warm everywhere, the lush Sharon forest As always, it was covered with snow, and the mountain road leading to Helenhilde was covered with snow, and every winter, this mountain road would be covered with waist-deep snow.

"He seems to have something to say." Sulia patted Ryan's hand: "Ryan, hurry up."

"I see." Ryan got up and walked to Anton's side: "So...the empire is ready?"

"The cause of the incident was a month ago." Anton looked at the heavy snow outside: "The long-term friction has made the residents of the border miserable, so we proposed a negotiation, and the Duke of Palaon agreed. He took his wife to the front. Come to Brunswick to negotiate, when His Majesty the Emperor was busy dealing with internal affairs, so His Excellency Umberto Corleone, Elector of Tuscany 'The Lion of the Sun' came forward and negotiated with His Excellency Casvin."

Hearing Kas Vann with his wife, Ryan and Suria's faces turned green.

Things are going to be bad!

"During the negotiation process, we have never been able to reach an agreement, and the negotiation process has been interrupted many times because the wife of His Excellency Kasfann broke into the meeting site." Anton's tone was indescribably strange: "The Duchess is really It's too rude and arrogant, Lord Umberto really can't stand it, and he rebuked His Excellency Kasfann and his wife..."

"So, the negotiation broke down?" The female knight continued.

"Yes, the negotiation broke down." Anton's words carried an ambiguous tone: "Therefore, Your Majesty sent me to you."

Ryan's face became solemn.

That's why he had to get out of this winter offensive.

"You are a worthy opponent and comrade-in-arms, Ryan, the feats you have accomplished over the years are familiar to everyone even in the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor has never restricted the spread of rumors, and even sent Rick guards to help fuel the flames, maybe... I That is to say, maybe, the Empire has to fight with Kath Vann to make both sides calm down, and your attitude is very critical." Anton continued.

"What's the point of me? I'm just a count, not a duke. You should go to Lord François or Lord Behemond." Lane's voice was slightly mocking: "It's useless to find me. ."

"No, finding you is the most crucial step." Anton smiled: "The prestige and status you have in this country is inferior to even your father. You are still the champion of the Lady in the Lake. Your opinion is very important. , If I'm not wrong, the young knights in Brittany are now imitating your every move, and your words are the weather vane of the knight class, am I right?"

Suria immediately understood, completely understood.

With Ryan's huge reputation in Brittany, as long as he shows a little bit of unwillingness to be the enemy of the empire, all the dukes will think that this is the meaning of the fairy in the lake, and then the dukes will be wary. There are many concerns, and the young ranger knights are even more so. As long as Ryan expresses his opinion, most of the ranger knights will refuse to fight against the empire.

It is precisely because the empire took a fancy to the special relationship between Ryan and the empire that it sent envoys to point directly at the crux of the problem!

"I need a little time to think." Ryan gave his answer: "It's hard to come from a long way, Anton, you should rest first."

"Okay." Anton nodded.

Twenty minutes later, in Ryan's master bedroom, Ryan and Suria sat together to discuss what happened.

"I don't want to see a civil war in the human country, Suria." Ryan held the female knight's warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, and he said distressedly: "But at present, it seems that this war is unavoidable."

"Lane, the empire also has this purpose, they want to use your influence." The female knight stroked Ryan's handsome face: "You are the lady's chosen champion, if you declare that you want to be an enemy of the empire, Then the whole country may pour out 10,000 ranger knights to join Kath Vann. If you say you don't want to be an enemy of the Empire, then the dukes will also be very cautious about standing with Kath Vann. manner."

"I have so much energy?" Ryan smiled a little unconfidently: "I always feel a little unreal."

"You have, Ryan." Surya's smile bloomed like a flower, and she kissed Ryan's face: "Otherwise my father wouldn't let me get engaged to you so simply."

"So...my fiancee, what do you think about this matter?" Ryan smiled bitterly: "I don't want to be an enemy of the empire, but I don't want to be trapped by my adopted brother. I want to remain neutral, but... "

"You should tell Your Excellency Anton bluntly that you will not be an enemy of the Empire, but because of the lady's intention, you can't make a public statement, all you can do is keep silent, Ryan, believe me, father and Berhemond. Your Excellency will make the same choice as you." Surya then analyzed: "You have enough strength not to stand in line, you are now the Holy Grail Knight Commander at the peak of the legend, whether it is us or the empire, there is no way to find it. A champion comparable to you."

"My silence means that there is really going to be a war between the Duke of Palaon and the Empire, Suria." Ryan frowned: "I said, I don't want to watch the civil war in the human kingdom."

"You're wrong, Ryan." Surya shook her head sharply, her blond waist-deep curly hair fluttering in the air, giving off the scent of irises: "We can't allow a full-scale war between humans, but a small-scale war. War is still necessary, win or lose, this war will calm people down, the empire on the other side of the mountain is, and so are we in Britania.”

"If we don't fight a battle, how can we understand the strength gap between the two countries, and if we don't fight a battle, how can we usher in true peace?" The corners of the female knight's mouth evoked a smile: "Let Kasvann Your Excellency, let’s go to war with the Empire, and we will all enjoy the success of winning or losing, and Kasfann will not be an opponent of Karl Franz, no matter from which point of view.”

Lane's eyes gradually lit up,

Yes, he doesn't need to express his position, he only needs to use the fairy in the lake as a shield, he only needs to be silent, and he will have both sides. The empire will accept his favor, otherwise he will face the attack of tens of thousands of knights. Yafang will not blame him, because this is what the lady meant, and many dukes and the empire have a good relationship. They will take the opportunity to choose silence with Ryan, and they also have to accept Ryan's favor.

Infighting between human beings is not desirable, but blindly trying to make peace and forcibly maintaining peace is actually very difficult. On the contrary, as Surya said, a small war can calm down the two sides and return to peace. When it comes to the negotiating table, this is true peace.

If you seek peace through struggle, peace will survive; if you seek peace through compromise, peace will perish.

Surya actually planned such a clear best choice for Ryan in a short period of time!

Ryan couldn't help but pick up Suria and turn around a few times~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and kissed her on the lips several times: "Thank you so much, Suria, you are really my lucky goddess! I can have you Such a fiancee is my luck!"

"Ah! Don't be like this~ Ryan, Orika is still here!" The bear slippers fell to the ground, Suria blushed and hugged Ryan's neck, and the dark maid Orika stood in the room watching them Woolen cloth!

The female knight is always very shy about the intimate actions between the two people. If it is in private, they are the only ones who can pay it back, but Olika has stayed by Ryan's side for a long time to serve. In front of the dark elves, Surya always is not used to.

In the void, a certain beautiful figure looked at the happy female knight and snorted coldly.

…………

"Your Excellency Anton, please live here during this time." In the guest room of the castle's outer fort, several maids were arranging rooms for Earl Griffin.

At this time, a little maid in a long white maid dress pushed a cart and delivered many daily necessities to Earl Griffin. Her steps were hurried: "Your Excellency Anton, please have a good rest, dinner is at seven o'clock in the evening. The clock starts, I have something to do, so I'll go first."

After speaking, the little maid wanted to leave in a hurry, but Anton still saw the little maid's unremarkable appearance, and some doubts and curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"This voice...it sounds like Emmanuel...but it doesn't look like it."

The weird idea disappeared after a circle in Anton's mind, he shook his head mockingly: "I'm really hallucinating, Emmanuel disappeared more than ten years ago, how could it be possible to appear in Brittany Ah, you're still working as Ryan's maid."

"Huh~ I'm so tired, let me rest for a while..." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Warhammer Throne", WeChat pays attention to "Youdu Literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
