Proof of the Sun King

The outskirts of Curona in early October are very lively.

The Northern Front led by Callard is now stationed in the outskirts of the city. This army of more than 8,000 people is composed of about 5,500 infantry and more than 2,000 knights and knights, and they come from Brittany except Carcassonne. All the principalities of Asia.

Since most of the news from the front was good news, the army did not go to the north coast to defend, but was stationed at the famous Diana Manor on the outskirts of Curona, which used to be Diana, Baroness Charles, Richard's eldest son. The family manor, which is less than five kilometers away from Curona, was confiscated after Charles was turned into a vampire by Matthew Bard. Hendrick House of the Shang-Anyug family spent a lot of money to buy the 100-year title deed and use rights of the manor.

This big businessman is well known in the Old World, and the Anyug family is the first grocer, liquor dealer and importer of ingredients in the Old World, and he is most fond of drinking nonsense.

Some time ago, this brother said the most classic words, "I have killed a lot of people in my life, and the next goal is to defeat the impossible enemy."

No one knows where Hendrick House's confidence comes from, but the next thing this guy does is "peer consultation", lowering the price of grain purchases, trying to sell grain to the north of the empire, Arabi, and the border princes. Even Ulthuan to make huge profits.

Everyone knows what happened next. These businessmen were no match for Ryan's endlessly thick treasury, and they all declared bankruptcy. The manor was returned to Ryan, and Ryan arranged the Diana Manor to the Karad garrison.

The Diana Manor, which covers an area of ​​more than 300 hectares, has an oval lake covered with green trees. The scenery is beautiful and suitable for large-scale grazing. More than 8,000 troops are stationed here for military training. They take a day off every ten days to watch the harvest nearby. The soldiers enjoyed the sight, and no one thought it was a chore.

This time the army is full of arrogant soldiers, especially the elite infantry soldiers who participated in the Bafengshan Great Expedition. Fortunately, Ryan chose Callard as the coach, the legend of Brittany. Heroes, the middle-level powerhouses in the Sanctuary not only participated in the Bafengshan Great Expedition, but also made countless military exploits, slaughtering several green-skin warlords, more than a dozen green-skin warlords, goblin warlords, giants, and Ska. As soon as the Rat Man Warlord, Strigg Ghost King, and Horror Beast announced that he was in command of the army, all the soldiers did not say anything else, and all obediently obeyed Karad's orders.

The ranger knights, who were just about to move, and whose minds were full of achievements, naturally obeyed the orders of the great hero Karad. The Holy Grail of the Sanctuary quickly completed the integration and incorporation of the entire army.

In the process, two very interesting things happened.

The first thing was that two days after entering the station, a young knight could not see the pride of the newly established elite infantry regiment. He made provocative words, and the freedmen soldiers returned angrily. The confrontation finally came to Callard.

Callard didn't know how to deal with it, but Beria immediately gave him an idea, and then Callard asked the two sides to have an honorary duel.

The result of the duel was naturally that the veteran of the battles hung up the Ranger knight with equal equipment.

Callard immediately knighted the freedman soldier, and then delivered a speech to the knights, saying that if all of you knight nobles are so five, you should go home and farm, stop being a knight, give Shame on His Majesty Ryan and Madam.

Immediately feeling ashamed and shameless, the knights of the rangers began to train seriously and seek guidance actively, vowing never to shame the ladies and the king.

And the freedmen immediately felt the improvement of their social status. They trained harder. Everyone hoped to get the title of knight, and even have the opportunity to become a knight!

The second thing, also suggested by Beria, is that there can be occasional "competitions" where knights and infantry from different principalities can be combined to "compete", the knights play polo games, and the freemen infantrymen play football games.

This kind of competition quickly became the favorite of the army, and it took two or three days to compete. Not only was the winner rewarded, but the knight or soldier who performed the best could also get an extra meal promotion.

After a series of competitions, a serf from Winford, Ethan, won the supreme honor of eating the same food as the Knights of the Holy Grail, and after a lapse of hundreds of years, another soldier of the serf class had a fair taste of pepper and saffron. Roasted venison marinated with cinnamon.

In this way, relying on the endless activities, the combat effectiveness and tacit understanding of the entire army have been improved.

Under the beautiful autumn night sky, Karad personally sat with Tulas, Beria, Meretskov and others, discussing the possible invasion of the barbarians.

Callard learned a good habit from Ryan, that is, as a coach and the Holy Grail of the Holy Land, Callard is also willing to condescend to use a standard of food with the soldiers, and he rarely cooks for himself or makes special, soldiers. Callard will eat whatever they eat, but the amount will be much larger. Everyone understands this, and the Holy Grail Master must eat a lot.

Beria actually wanted to find a halfling chef to cook a small stove for himself, but when he saw Callard doing this, he had to eat with Callard.

The standard ration meal of the Northern Front Army is as follows: 750g of fresh whole-wheat bread per day, about 100-150g of pork, mutton, chicken or duck meat are random, rich in fresh vegetables and a variety of tomatoes, potatoes and corn. Soup, occasional fish and daily ale and cider per person.

The knights can eat better buttery white bread, beef, good eel, and enjoy imperial beer, and Corona wine, obviously better food, but generally not much different from the freedmen soldiers .

Callard ate two pounds of buttered whole-wheat bread by himself, ate more than a pound of creamy pork braised pork, killed a big bowl of vegetable salad, and drank a full bowl of corn chowder, Garamente The earl said to the crowd: "The current information shows that the northern route is very quiet, but there are still barbarian ships in the Chaos Sea from time to time. We can't relax, we must be vigilant at all times."

"Yes." Tulas, the Marquis of Loire, stuffed bread in his mouth: "Young guys are still very motivated!"

After chatting for a while, Beria was interested but could not join the topic of the Holy Grail Knights, so he said to General Meretskov, the acting commander of the Ugor Legion: "You have studied it for a long time, what's the matter? Imagine?"

"Well, I can't say anything, just a little opinion." General Meretskov said cautiously: "It's just a little suggestion. I think the barbarians are most likely to land in two places. That is to say, if the barbarians come over, these two places are most likely to be attacked."

"Port Hendaye in the northeast and Chantillon town just north of Curona? Why?" Callard asked curiously.

"Because... I think so, if the barbarians try to land on the northern coast, their most likely choice is not the desolate coast, but densely populated ports, manors and villages full of farmland, and the most Where there is a potential direct and rapid threat to Curona."

"Look, if you land in these two ports and defeat the defenders, the barbarians can instantly attack the castle of Alençon, which is the northern gate of Curona, and there are a lot of villages to loot along the way. The barbarians are the most I like to march in this way. Once the castle of Alençon falls, the barbarians can immediately press down on the city of Curona, but they can also turn around and sack the richest region of the north, the Garne region and the Ferragus forest region." Meletskov He said cautiously: "From what I know about the Norsca people, it is like this. Of course, you are also famous heroes in the old world. If you have any suggestions, please correct them."

Meretskov's analysis is well-founded and in line with the usual style and preferences of barbarians, and Karad not only turned the idea again in his mind.

Tsars really don't use people.

How many talents did Lane get from Kislev Taobao successively?

"Well... send messengers to these two ports and tell the noble lords there to be vigilant! Once there is an enemy attack, report it immediately!" Karad gave the order decisively.

"Yes!" Bellia was the first to respond.

…………I am the dividing line that raises vigilance…………

Just as Callard was stirring spoons in a cauldron with ordinary soldiers.

Kislev City, Tsar Bokha Palace, Georgiev Hall.

This hall is the most famous hall in the Bokha Palace, and it is an architectural masterpiece of the craftsmen of Kislev.

The hall is oval in shape, with six gilded two-chandeliers hanging on the dome, each weighing 900 kilograms. The dome and surrounding walls are painted with giant frescoes of the various battles that Kislev's army has won for a thousand years.

There are 18 columns on the front of the hall, and the tops of the columns are all decorated with statues of the tsars of the past dynasties.

Now, a grand state banquet is being prepared in this hall.

The servants were calling out the names of the dishes aloud.

"Fish and Shrimp Jelly with Mung Bean Sauce~"

“Brittany Matsutake Soup~”

"Kislev's Roasted Pork Knuckle~"

“Flame Chicken Skewers~”

“Baked spicy foie gras in thin red sugar sauce~”

"Midden Collar Snowflake Steak~"

"Sea Bass with Red Gourd Sauce and Onions~"

“Erengrad Caviar~”

"Othuan Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse~"

"Brittany Boldero First Class Red Wine~"

"Now, to our most honorable Tsar Kislev, King Kislev, Archduke Kislev, Archduke Erengrad and Prager, leader of the Ice Witch Sisterhood, Queen Miska's blood The heirs of  … prepare to dine!”

Tsar Katarin wore the Tsar's crown on her head and wore an ice-blue classic embroidered Tsar dress and long dress. Under the guidance of the attendants, she slowly stepped into the main seat of the extra-long dining table. The Tsar was obviously Not in a good mood.

She sat down slowly and looked at the dishes in front of her. She was irritable and had no appetite. She said casually, "Just this order, I really can't move a fork."

The servants and servants immediately knelt down in fear and confessed their guilt, no one wanted to be turned into ice sculptures.

Katalin's face was cold. In fact, her accusation was justified. Normally, a standard state banquet should have thirteen dishes, but today's state banquet has only eleven dishes, two less, which is enough for many people. Sent to Cheka prison.

Like many Garland witches, she also likes the luxurious enjoyment of life, especially the empress's standard life enjoyment. For the sake of Kislev, the empress has sacrificed a lot, and the standard of thirteen dishes has been reduced by two, those Why can't the soldiers and Boyers who have been arguing about wages all day be able to endure each other and serve as a country?

Also, why are my subordinates so rubbish? The capable ones are disobedient and disloyal, and the obedient and loyal ones are not capable enough? Why don't we in Kislev have Karl's Marshal Rick Heilberg, Hunter's Marshal Wolfhardt, or Ryan's Holy Grail such as François, Berhemond, and Callard who can stand on their own? What about talent?

Catalin was not happy.

The Tsar didn't move her knife and fork, and everyone didn't dare to move until Katarin spoke about the latest information.

Although Prager did not report that the fortress of Vosglade was surrounded by the Chaos army, the scouts were missing, and the five thousand reinforcements were sent to support and there was no news, but Katalin was never the one who was blocked. In fact, when no news of the five thousand reinforcements came back to Prager, Katarin had already received the news from Yezhov, the head of the Cheka.

Compared to General Pavlov and the representatives of the Duma of Prager who still had a fluke on these 5,000 people, Catalin had already deduced in her heart that these 5,000 people marched quickly and for a long time. There is no news, it is almost certain to be ambushed and the entire army was wiped out.

The inexplicable invasion of the barbarians made the Tsar very unhappy, and we are preparing for the Millennium Celebration here! You barbarians don't go to fight the dark elves, why did you suddenly come down south to fight us?

"I have an inference, Your Majesty." Marshal Keslev Konev said seriously: "I think that no matter how large the dragon boat fleet of the barbarians is, it is limited, which means that not all the barbarians have the ability to participate. War with the Dark Elves."

"You mean that some barbarians may not be able to participate in the expedition, so they are targeting us?" Kislev General Marshal Dimitri Zayev replied: "It is possible~www.wuxiaspot. com~ They couldn't get a chance to perform in front of the dark gods, so they turned south."

"So, can it be considered that a Chaos army of at least 10,000 people surrounded the fortress of Vosglade, and used the strategy of encircling the point to fight for reinforcements, and wiped out the reinforcements of Prager?" Romanov, the commander of the Eagle Legion, put forward his own views: "And the current question is, what is the situation of Vosglade Fortress, and are the defenders still resisting?"

"The fortress of Vosglade is well-defended, with more than 30 cannons and more than 300 muskets imported from the Empire. The soldiers there are also tried and tested, and it should not be a problem to stick to it for a week." Kislev Northern Military Region Commander Zaka Fedosov said: "I went to check the defense of Vosglade. It is very strong and there is no reason to fall quickly."

"Besides, news also came from the front line. It seems that the barbarians are still besieging Dulong City. As a result, it took a week not only to break through one line of defense in Dulong City, but also to lose more than 3,000 people, and only casualties in Dulong City. There are more than a dozen people." The court minister Petrov said quickly: "This shows that the barbarians only look powerful and powerful, but in fact they are just routinely looting the south. Your Majesty only needs to assemble a large army, these barbarians are. He will pay for his stupid decisions."

Rokossovsky, Marshal of the Bear Cavalry, always felt that something was not right. The handsome Bear Cavalry Marshal always felt that everyone was too optimistic about the situation of the battle, so he quickly said: "There is no more information at the moment, we will make a decision now. It is too early to judge, and the barbarians may arrive at the city of Plager at any time, we must assemble the army as soon as possible!"

"That's right!" The tsar sitting on the throne suddenly stood up.

"This time, I will be driving the expedition in person!"
