Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 393: , the burning empire

The Emperor's reinforcements have arrived!

Helmgart is saved!

As the fresh army joined the battlefield, the situation changed in an instant. The cunning Skaven warlord Ossed immediately gave up the battle. The rat-man warlord immediately tucked his tail and fled with his own guards, leaving behind a group of people who had lost their command. mob. Crazy Sand Literature Network

Emperor Karl Franz was interested in chasing the Skaven warlords, but in the end the Emperor ordered the aid of the survivors who were desperately resisting.

Now is not the time to take credit. Rescue survivors are the most important thing.

Lane himself was alone in front of the human front, and the Rat Man's last struggle was completely destroyed by him. After that, the half-griffin knight and Rickguard's group charge completely defeated the Rat Man.

The Skaven were kicked out of the Church of Justice, the survivors could finally catch their breath, and many soldiers and refugees passed out on the spot.

The war continued, and the Emperor's army marched into Helmgart to thoroughly sweep the town under the command of Karl Franz.

With the great swordsmen joining the battle, the rout of the Rat Man was inevitable, and it was not in Ryan's turn to do it himself.

Ryan single-handedly defeated the Grey Prophet Spart and his entire army in Helmgart, including the Plague Monk Legion, the ditch-running rat army and the Dimensional Lightning Cannon.

It is precisely because of Ryan's efforts that the Skaven lacked the support of long-range troops and siege weapons when they besieged the Church of Justice, and the refugees have persisted until now.

"Really? Veronica and Teresa are both injured?" Ryan, who learned the cause and effect, let out a sigh of relief. He took Suria's little hand and sat down. The god-chosen champion of the fairy in the lake fought hard all day and night , the plate armor on him was as bright as new, and it didn't seem to be affected at all: "What about you? Suria? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine." The female knight shook her head again and again: "The Rat Man can't break through my defense, I'm just a little tired, it's okay, you'd better go and see Miss Teresa, she's the worst injured and poisoned. "

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you here. I'll go see Teresa and Veronica." Ryan patted Sulia on the shoulder. He didn't say much. The two were already husband and wife, and he didn't need to marry him. What did Suria emphasize again?

Pushing open the door of the inner chamber of the church, Ryan frowned at the oncoming smell of blood, and there were several corpses of Skaven on the ground.

Veronica in a fiery red leather jacket leaned back on the chair. When she saw Ryan come in, Witch Garland said with a half-smile, "I knew you were coming."

"I'm definitely coming over." Ryan smiled bitterly, and Veronica's teasing eyes always made him feel uncomfortable: "Is Teresa okay?"

The sorceress has fallen asleep. She is seriously injured. Veronica's potion can only help her temporarily stop the bleeding, stabilize the injury, suppress the toxin, and she needs a long time to recover from the injury.

"I really don't know what drug you gave this little princess of Garland? How many times? She really tried her best for your cause." Veronica reached out and pulled her black-brown hair back. At the back of her head, her tone was sour: "I just went out for an adventure with you once."

"Veronica, don't be so rude, I know you are willing to do your best for me." Ryan reached out and hugged Witch Garland, put it on his lap, and put it on her cherry lips Kissed: "You just don't say it, but I understand."

Veronica snorted lightly, but the blush on her face could not go away. She let Ryan hold her and stopped for about five seconds: "Okay, please help Trovik to detoxify, the dimension stone is poisonous. Yes, we all know this, otherwise Mrs. Surya wouldn't have taken such a big risk to pull out the dimensional stone dagger."

"I know." Ryan nodded, the dimensional stone has strong poison and chaotic energy.

"Come on, I'll hold the door for you... This sentence is so strange, I really want to wonder if Trovik did this on purpose?" Veronica pushed Ryan away, stood up and walked towards the door .

"She doesn't know." Ryan shrugged.

"But she got her wish!" Veronica closed the door of the room, and Witch Garland seemed to have unleashed a small trick, and the voices outside suddenly became quiet.

Ryan walked to the head of the sorceress and sat down, with an odd smile on his face: "Okay, Teresa, I know you've been awake."

The sorceress with a pale face and a bandage opened her eyes. Her silver eyes were full of panic: "Sorry, Ryan, I..."

"It's me who should say sorry." Ryan reached out and stroked the sorceress's long black hair. He said warmly, "Now, let me detoxify you."

"De... detoxification? Then... what is that going to do? I heard what Veronica said..." Teresa's face instantly turned red, and the sorceress said hesitantly, "Could it be..."

"That's right, that's what you think." Ryan squinted his eyes and continued to laugh. He whispered, "It's okay, I'll be very gentle. Also, haven't you been looking forward to it for a long time?"

"But I don't want to be here, what is this place!" Teresa whispered, "I still have injuries!"

"There is no way, your body can't wait, the poison of the dimension stone needs to be removed quickly." Ryan held Teresa's left hand: "I know you want to have a good memory, and I don't want it, but you don't want it either. Leaving after-effects, or scars?"

"Then... that's fine." Teresa struggled for a while, and finally closed her eyes.

In her mind, countless memories are like flowing water in the long river of memory.

From Winterfell to Kalzenhaven, from Mjordenhaven to Marienburg, from Skydome to the Earl of Glamorgan, from Brunswick to Helmgart...

She couldn't remember anymore, because Ryan kissed softly.

A whirling sensation flooded the sorceress's will.

…………

By the time Ryan settled everything and came out of the church, it was already noon.

Imperial Emperor Karl Franz is leading the army to garrison in Helmgart. The purple-gold four-corner tent is fully equipped, and the tents cover the open space in front of the church and the city wall.

The half-griffin knights and Rickguards guarded the emperor's tent. The atmosphere in the camp was very rigid. The soldiers brought water and food to the refugees, who threw down their weapons and ate and drank.

In addition to the joy of the rest of his life, the rest is endless sadness.

Helmgart is close to destruction. The fire in the whole city has drowned the prosperity of the past. Less than 10% of the hundreds of houses have not been destroyed. There are human and rat-men corpses everywhere. The prosperous market one day ago has been destroyed. All the goods on the market were looted, and when the imperial army swept the city, all they saw were bones.

Clean bones eaten by ratmen.

The Earl's Castle has been razed to the ground, the Skaven have taken everything they can from the Earl's Castle, and destroyed what they can't, and the great swordsmen search in vain for any possible descendants of the Earl or surviving ones. relatives, but all they could find was the body, and the wall riddled with holes.

The slum of shacks has become a huge cesspool and stinking ditch, piled with feces and silt, and the poison of the warpstones that belonged to the Skaven, the merchants' shops and the rich man's row houses. Destroyed, refugees are searching for their loved ones and possessions under the **** of the army, and the whole city is full of cries.

After the search is complete, the Empire's army will "purify" the city completely, that is, burn it to the ground, before considering whether to rebuild it.

Lane walked towards the emperor's tent in silence. He noticed that the two Rickguard recruits, Rudolf and Wagner, were treated like heroes. They were surrounded by the Rickguard. Not only did they fulfill their mission, they not only completed the task of protecting Ryan's family, but they were not afraid to rally the remnants of the army to resist and waited for the arrival of reinforcements. They proved their ability. This battle was their battle to become famous, even the most strict Rui Field Marshal Heilberg had a straight face and slapped Rudolph and Wagner on the shoulders twice: "Good job!"

Rudolph and Wagner were both flattered that Heilberg barely recognized him.

The Imperial Captain Huber also received preferential treatment, and he is currently the survivor of Helmgart's highest status.

"Your Excellency Ryan, you are finally here, the emperor is waiting for you in the tent." Seeing Ryan appearing, Heilberg put away his admiring look, and he said solemnly: "Please hurry up, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow I come."

"Sorry, my female courtier was injured and poisoned." Ryan explained a little.

"That's not important. What's important is that His Majesty has been waiting for you. I have no intention of investigating why you were delayed." Heilberg didn't take it at all. Quickly: "Please as soon as possible."

Ryan shook his head. He quickly followed Heilberg. He noticed that Heilberg had the Elector's holy sword, Rune Fang, "The Hater" hanging from his waist.

The hater was the Elector Shengjian of Solland, a province of the former Empire, but in the era of the Three Emperors, the famous green-skinned warlord "Ironclaw" Gorbad invaded the Empire from the Blackfire Pass, all the way to the city of Brunswick. The Elector of Thorland, Duke Adried, was killed in a one-on-one battle with Gorbad, the Elector's Crown and Runefang were taken away, Thorland was wiped out, and the entire province was razed to the ground.

Gorbad was finally defeated under the city of Brunswick, and the entire province was merged into the Wesson Land after the severance of the Sol Land inheritance, and has since become a part of the Wesson Land. It was accidentally discovered during an assault on a Greenskin stronghold in the Roof of the World Mountains and returned to the Empire.

Since then, the Rune Fang haters have become the symbol of Marshal Rick. The Elector's Holy Sword is not only a symbol of status, but also an extremely powerful artifact. The important reason for the final failure of the "Iron Claw" Gorbad was that at that time Before his heroic death, Adolphus, Elector of Brescia and Grand Duke of Ivey, pierced Gorbad deeply with the rune tooth "Mother of Destruction" in his hand, seriously injuring the strongest man in history. Greenskin warlord, the wounds caused by the Elector's Holy Sword, even the greenskin creatures took a long time to heal. Gorbad, who was troubled by the wounds, not only lost his strength, but also could no longer unite the greenskins effectively. The army was finally defeated.

After thinking about it, Ryan shook his head. He tried to ask Heilberg: "I didn't expect the empire to respond so quickly. The quick gathering of knights is simple, but the great swordsmen are so quick?"

The emperor and his army set out from Brunswick and marched for a day and a night before arriving at Helmgart.

"The Great Swordsmen of Griffin is not the city garrison of Brunswick, this Great Swordsmen is the personal army of the Emperor's Franz-Friedrich family, supported by His Majesty's private wealth, so as long as An order from the emperor, these soldiers must be dispatched overnight, otherwise the emperor will expel them from the army, this is His Majesty's personal pocket, no waste." Heilberg said harshly: "The Brunswick Royal Half-Griffin Guard is also ."

"Internal money?" Ryan nodded, any elector has his own personal guard, and the emperor will have it of course.

Opening the tent with the coat of arms of the Golden Griffon family, Emperor Karl Franz was already present, and he was talking to the Witcher Grand Master Ernst.

The Demon Hunter's Supreme Master Ernst is more than 400 years old. He was born in the era of the Three Emperors, experienced vampire wars and participated in the Great Holy War. The Demon Hunter's Supreme Master who appeared in front of Ryan was tall and full of heads. White hair, the ravines on his face are bottomless, only those turbid eyes hide a deep killing intent: "My Majesty, I still don't understand, why did you let those refugees live, you should kill everyone To be burned at the stake, so that the city can be purified."

"Calm down, Master Ernst, someone has vouched for the refugees. He believes that the remaining refugees have built a firm will to fight against the rat tide, and are not so easily corrupted, and according to the current investigation~www.wuxiaspot .com~ The refugees who stayed in the church are basically healthy." The emperor sat on the chair, his face was very ugly.

Just when his eyelids were low, the Skaven actually destroyed an entire city in his territory. It was a shame. According to what I know, if it wasn't for Ryan and his party, who happened to be staying in Hemgart, he and his army would not be at all. Before we got here, the whole city was destroyed.

"Guarantee? Who?"

"Me." Lane walked in under the leadership of Heilberg, and he said to the witcher's supreme mentor: "I made a guarantee, the remaining refugees have been purified by my power, and the problematic ones have been taken by me. solved."

The Witcher Supreme Master wanted to say something, and Rick Guard came in to report: "My Majesty, Earl Reinhardt has been found."

"Where is he?" The emperor stretched out his hand to signal to Ryan to wait a moment, Karl Franz's face with a hint of anger: "I handed Helmgart to him, and he gave me back a city like this?"

"He..." Rick Guard pursed his lips, and the veteran bowed his head: "We only found his body, and, my majesty, we agreed that there is no need to bring it here."

"why?"

"The corpse of Count Reinhardt was stuffed into a tube more than ten centimeters in diameter by the rat man, and it was stretched to a length of ten meters... Only through the ring seal did we recognize that the rotten piece was Earl Reinhardt." Rick Wei's face twitched, and he continued to report the situation.

"Okay, find a place to cremate him, he and his family have become history." Emperor Carl nodded helplessly, and he motioned for Rick to go down.

Rick Guard just walked out, and after a few seconds he opened the curtain and came in: "My Majesty, a group of dwarves came, and they said they wanted to see you and Lord Ryan."

"Dwarves? Please come in!"
