Proof of the Sun King

?Rick Guards, as the last line of defense around Emperor Karl Franz, has always been the most elite Guards in the Empire, no one, although they do not have the prestige and scale of the three major knights in the old world, but they The combat effectiveness of the Knights cannot be underestimated either. Since its establishment, this knight order has served as the emperor's guard, always fighting side by side with the emperor, and has brought countless great victories to the empire by using its performance time and time again.

Unlike many knights, the recruits of the Rick Guard are all recruited from the children of the great nobles of the empire and even the children of the elector, as well as the current Rick Guard's hometown and relatives, and even allow Brittany, mention Recruits from Lear, Estalia, and the Border Prince join.

The only requirement for recruiting recruits is that the recruits must be from military nobles.

Wagner-Schmidt was one such recruit, a twenty-four-year-old guy from Noor, who served for generations to the Bernardino family, the Brescia suffrage holders, whose father was Baron Alberto Schmidt. The engineering master of the Nuer Gun Academy, he relied on his ancestors to protect him, and this got a chance to learn as a recruit of Rick's guard.

Wagner was young, with brown hair and a tough face. He seemed to be underestimated for fear of being too young. Wagner deliberately grew a beard to make him feel more mature.

Young Wagner looked around at the recruits.

Rudolf Lichtenstein, the eldest son of Duke Lichtenstein's family, from Rickland.

Lehman-Bachman, the direct son of the Earl of Bachman, from Rickland.

Baron Theodrickson, grandson of King Nord, from Nordland.

Stefan Elkann, from Ivey Territory, is the son of Count Leitdorf, the Grand Duke of Ivey Territory and a trusted general of Umberto Corleone, Elector of Tuscany.

These people are the most conspicuous, because their clothes and armor are so gorgeous. These people are wearing silk and linen clothes of the highest quality. The mithril plate armor enchanted by the dwarves is inlaid with gold and jewels. Colorful, colorful, with several beautiful multicolored helmet feathers sticking to the helmet, you can know their status and identity just by looking at this outfit.

Young Wagner felt a lot of pressure. His family was well-known in Nur and had a certain influence in Nur's court, but when he came to Brunswick as a recruit of the Rick Guard, he Only then did I understand how noble the background of the guard Rick was.

"Hey, Wagner, what are you doing in a daze?" At this moment, a young recruit next to him spoke: "Come in, I don't want to leave a bad impression on His Excellency Heilberg on the first day."

His name is Laurenz, and he comes from Tarabeheim, one of the four major cities in the empire, the Tarabeek collar. On this journey, Wagner and him have the most to say.

The recruits quickly formed a small circle. The most recruits in Rick led the group. They first formed a group. The wealthy southerners of the empire gathered into a group, and the northerners of the empire gathered into a group. Naturally, Wagner joined the small group in the south of the empire. middle.

"Come on." Wagner whispered: "It is said that Earl Lane is from Nord, but he became the God's Choice Champion of the Lady of the Lake?"

"Hey, be quiet, brother." Laurenz whispered, and he pointed to Baron Theodrickson, who was not far in front of the two, the great noble from Nord obviously disgusted Ryan: "He doesn't like hearing Lord Ryan's name."

"That's it~" Wagner expressed his understanding. No one likes to be stole the limelight. Baron Theodrickson was young and famous, and he had a lot of exploits in the war with the barbarians, but he was always shrouded in Ryan's shadow.

The Rick Guards Headquarters Castle is located in the southeast corner of Brunswick. This fortress has two layers: the outer castle wall is 30 meters high, and the inner castle wall is 50 meters high. The patterns of iron crosses, skulls and laurels are hung on the Above the city wall, when I saw Marshal Rick Heilberg leading the Rick guards back, the city gate opened wide and let everyone in.

Wagner observed the castle a little, and spit out a series of numbers: "One hundred."

"What?" Laurenz didn't understand.

"One hundred people, one hundred well-trained soldiers can defend this castle for a long time." Wagner said with narrowed eyes.

"Should be." Laurenz was noncommittal, he just reminded: "Stand straight, Wagner."

In the halls of Rick's Guard headquarters castle,

"Quiet, recruits!" Marshal Rick Heilberg shouted angrily at the group of recruits: "Listen to me!"

"Yes! Your Excellency Heilberg!" The recruits all stood still, listening to Heilberg's words.

"Everyone, I know that you come from many places in the old world, and I also know that each of you has a long family tree, and many people's family tree can be ranked when Charlemagne established the empire." Heilberg said gruffly.

Rudolph and Lehman both shrank their necks subconsciously.

"Perhaps there are also many people whose fathers or grandfathers fought side by side with the Savior Ludwig during the Great Holy War."

Theodrickson and Stefan shook their heads uneasily.

"Or, there are people who just come for training and instruction and don't really want to be a Rick guard."

Now it was Wagner's turn to smile wryly.

"Well, anyway, you all have a glorious family history, you all have great ancestors, or you have a lot of wealth and a lot of land estates, maybe five years ago, none of you knew what Heilberg was... Sounds like Mu The new fruit pie developed by the special halfling chef?" Heilberg continued seriously.

There was a burst of laughter from the more than 30 recruits, but Heilberg didn’t take it seriously. He just stared at him and continued: “But now, I am Marshal Rick, and I don’t care if your family is in the imperial court. How much influence, how many gold marks you have in your warehouse, how many military exploits your ancestors had in the past, it doesn't count for me!"

"Your family sent you to me, and I have the responsibility to teach you well, even though in my opinion some of you are too weak, some of you are too stupid, some... too rude, what I'm saying is You, Steiner, I can smell the perfume on your body through dozens of people!" Marshal Rick stared at a recruit standing in the corner.

Steiner von Bekafen, from the Ostermark League, heard Heilberg's scolding, he bowed his head in shame, the young man was a little dissatisfied, but he knew that if he was expelled by Marshal Rick for this , then his family will regard him as a great disgrace.

Fortunately, Heilberg didn't delve into it: "Okay, recruits, let's get started!"

"Today's first lesson is the history of Rick's guard."

…………

"Rick's Guard, established after His Majesty Ludwig the Savior, an emperor, Leopold Franz Friedrich."

In the evening, at the Imperial Royal Hotel, the restaurant, Ryan sat behind the long table and said to Surya, Sylvia who were sitting beside him, Veronica and Teresa who were sitting opposite him: "Leo After His Majesty Pod took office, he was troubled by the fact that the Griffin Knights were not listening. Due to the privileges granted by His Majesty Ludwig, it was difficult for His Majesty Leopold to easily mobilize the Griffin Knights, so the Rick Ban was established. guard."

"This move is considered to be extremely effective. As the private army of the Franz family, the Rick Guard has always been the most trusted **** and the most elite force in the hands of the emperor. The library provides the most sophisticated equipment, and after serving as the Rick Guard, these noble children have a more promising career prospect. The emperor is obviously more willing to promote those nobles who have served in the Rick Guard to hold important positions. "

"It's a bit of a selection. It's a bit like the nobles in the kingdom will send their children to the capital to serve as knights to serve the king of knights, and strive for the opportunity to become knights of the kingdom," Surya said.

A few people were waiting to talk, and a strange voice came from the side: "Oh, I said who is this, it turned out to be Nord's little cub, the little champion of the woman in the lake, you are hugging the thigh with pointed ears, actually To be a guest of the emperor in a grand manner?"

Ryan was not angry after hearing this voice. On the contrary, he stood up and expressed his respect: "Hello, Your Excellency the Elector of Bekafen."

"Humph!" A tall, tall man with a long goatee was dressed in expensive silk clothes. He looked less than thirty years old, with many scars on his face, and his tall and large hooked nose was a little scary. Man, he looked at Ryan and the women on the table with contempt, and finally stretched out his hand: "You have to learn to be grateful and grateful, Ryan Malcador, I am very fond of Chaos creatures and greenskins. Orcs hate you far more than they hate you."

"Ha, in fact, you don't have to do this, Lord Hertwig." Ryan sneered and stretched out his hand: "You can send your champion to have a showdown with me. In this dark age, we can talk with our fists. "

The man here was Wolfram Hertwig, President of the Parliament of the Ostermark League and Elector of Bekafen.

He was the first Elector to arrive.

The politics of Ostermark is composed of parliament. Five hundred years ago, a two-tailed comet fell from the sky and completely destroyed the capital of Ostermark, Mordheim, and all the nobles and electors of Mordheim. All the families were killed in the impact of the comet, and the remaining nobles united to form the Ostermark League, and the capital was set at Bekafen. After that, the elector of the Ostermark province became Elected by nobles.

The Elector's most famous story is called "The Folly of Hertwig".

Born and honored Elector of Bekafen, Hertwig was only a teenager when he became an elector. During the Battle of the Black Road, the army of Ostermark Province faced the attack of the Beastmen. Young and arrogant, refusing to let the Grand Master of the Knights of Eternal Light provide tactical guidance, the knights chose to retreat to the castle in a fit of anger, leaving Hetwig and his army to fight the Beastmen without the support of the knights.

The final outcome is that Hetwig and his army still won, but paid more than 10,000 heavy casualties, which made the elector a laughing stock of the empire, and the province of Ostermark for many years Time had to put down his face and seek support from other imperial provinces to send troops.

However, Hetwig also learned his lesson and grew up, and gradually became an excellent general. More importantly, the elector believed that "the justice of the nobles is not the justice of the common people", so he was among the nobles and commoners. He is more inclined to protect the interests of civilians, which has made him the love of farmers and free people in the province. Ostermark has had a good life for civilians in recent years, with a love of life, horses and vodka, and a firm belief that a united human alliance and empire is stronger than a divided empire.

"You can't beat any of my champions, otherwise I would have sent my champions to let you understand!" Wolfram Hertwig said rudely, blowing his beard.

The Elector and Ryan shook hands, and Hertwig added a little force on purpose.

Ryan quickly turned around and pinched the Elector's bones to clack.

"Hmm~ hum!" The elector was in pain, he struggled to break free, and then left with his entourage in anger.

"Your Excellency the elector doesn't seem to like you." When Ryan sat down, Teresa whispered: "He seems to be very disgusted with you, just because you are a human being and a human hero, so he is not willing to come up. Say hello."

"It's impossible for me to be liked by everyone. There will always be some people who like you and others who hate you." Ryan shook his head with a wry smile: "No one can get everyone's likes except Jinmark."

Surya and Veronica couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and Teresa's original worries were also swept away~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The sorceress couldn't help laughing: "Then you have to try your best. Get the support of the majority."

"I can only do my best in this matter. Even if I kill the red-eyed Aegir, it is still impossible to make all the provinces of the empire like me." Seeing Hetwig with his servants Sitting down from a distance, motioned for the waiter to bring food, Ryan frowned and said: "Not all the imperial provinces have to face the threat of the northern barbarians, such as the eastern provinces, they are more troubled by the beasts and the south in the territory. The greenskins of the Badlands, Tegris' proposal cannot move their hearts...unless the high elves are willing to help them deal with threats from within the realm."

"Lord Tigris only brought five hundred troops..." Surya wanted to say something, and another group of people came in from the door of the restaurant.

This group of people are the Rick Guards recruits they met today. Naturally, many of these noble children entered the capital and stayed in the Royal Hotel.

At this time, Ryan and others also finished eating. He nodded kindly to the recruits and left with them.

"It's Ryan Malcador, the human hero who killed the red-eyed Aegir." Laurenz and Wagner said: "He came to the capital of the Empire with the High Elves this time, and it is said that he intends to fight Chaos with the Imperial Alliance."

"Ryan Machado... This is not my concern." Wagner shook his head: "Let's have something to eat first, the Imperial Council will be held in a few days, whether to agree to the alliance is the emperor's business."

"By the way, Grand Duke Wesson, Your Excellency Elector Jani will also come here to participate in the Imperial Parliament." Laurenz saw that Wagner was not interested, so he changed the subject: "Look, Elector Hedwig Where is Your Excellency."

"No! I will never admit that Jani is an elector!" Who knew Wagner said angrily.

"My family and I, only allegiance to Emmanuel!"
