Warhammer Throne

In the 2515 year of the Imperial calendar, on the evening of the disbandment of the Knights' Army, the capital of Brittania, Curona, the Knights Club of the Holy Grail Knights, "House of the Round Table".

As the name suggests, this is the club of the Knights of the Holy Grail in Curona. It provides board and lodging. It also provides a lot of entertainment facilities for the Knights of the Holy Grail. The holy grail knights, then at least they must get a letter of introduction from the holy grail knights or be brought in by the holy grail knights before they can enter the entertainment. The drinks, food and many entertainments are basically free, and the money is funded by the tithe of the lake fairy church. .

Bohemond and François chose a seat by the window. The waiter brought drinks and food. François immediately signaled the waiter to go down. The two old dukes took their seats and ate face to face.

The two people have different situations of their own army, but they are unified because they don't care about the affairs of the army and choose to have a meal together.

It’s okay for the old duke, the old duke, to discuss merits and rewards, but let him arrange the specific amount of rewards and how to balance the distribution of the Bastogne knights and serfs, and who should be promoted. The headache was extremely troublesome. The old duke had always been very bad at these things. He was only good at fighting, and was in a very difficult state for internal affairs and diplomacy.

Just in time, Talleyrand came to the door with Ryan's intention, and the Knight King politely said whether Secretary Berhemond was very troublesome in this area? Do you need us to arrange for you?

Good good! Berhemond was very happy, and immediately said that it was just right for you to help me arrange it. After reading Talleyrand’s proposed promotion, the title of knight, and the corresponding award, Berhemond felt that the other party Isn't it a bit of a "grass-root plot", all agree that the issue of rewards has been solved so easily, and he is relaxed now.

Therefore, Berhemond also likes to appoint bureaucrats. He just chooses people with a very bad vision. In addition, he does not know how to manage and control. As a result, every bureaucrat appointed will pull his hips very quickly in less than one or two years and learn to deceive. , Eating and taking cards, constantly knocking the bones and sucking the bones on the serfs and blinding the knights and nobles. Finally, after Bohemond found out, he could only be forced to kill or replace them. If Talleyrand was not Ryan’s personal servant, Bohemond almost He wanted to hire Talleyrand to be his chief minister of the interior.

"Don't, Boss, Talleyrand, you can't control them." François is still full of elegance and wisdom for decades, he can directly see that Bohemond is thinking What, the old man shook his head repeatedly: "That high elf is simply synonymous with cunning and hypocrisy. Except for my son-in-law, few people can hold him down, because many times you can't detect his hints and deceit, he It is simply the incarnation of Larnold. Only when you read him, understand and understand everything about him, his talents can truly be used by others."

Ra Nord, one of the eight gods of the old world, the **** of deceit and theft, once a mortal, he succeeded in deceiving the goddess of mercy Salia, deceived and drank Salia's tears to seal the gods.

"No? I think he's quite enthusiastic." Berhemond murmured: "At best, it is a bit grassroots plot. He is more inclined to civilians and serfs in the award, but considering his origin, it's normal."

"Ah, madam, you were tricked by that lame man!" François reluctantly broke his words: "What kind of grassroots plot, he is casting his Majesty's favor and giving you peace of mind, think about it, if his The reward is biased towards the knights and nobles, what will be your first reaction? Do you think he is in collusion with your knights and nobles? Then you still want to trust him? Can the list of rewards he drafted be passed by you?"

"...Is that so?" Berhemond was stunned for a while.

"So Talleyrand, a cunning man, will constantly test you and hint you. As long as you don't understand his hints or understand his subtext, he will deceive you and play with you!" François sighed. A cry: "That is, my son-in-law has enough level and knows everything to control such terrible talents as Talleyrand and Beria."

"Well, François, you are good at internal affairs, you can handle everything yourself." Berhemond muttered, but the Duke of Red Dragon quickly focused on his pork loin, egg, ham sandwich Come on, eat it with big mouthfuls.

François and Bohemond are completely different existences. Ryan’s old father-in-law has already drawn up all the award lists and rewards as well as the specific promotion candidates on the road. The rest is up to Gerold. To do, the old man is also free.

François also picked up his own sandwiches, the old-in-law’s favorite chicken drumstick sandwich and pineapple pie. He ate two bites, thought about it, and then put it down: "Boss, about the ten marshals, where do you have More news?"

The rumors of the ten marshals really made all the Breton nobles feel itchy. Most of the nobles are still in the hot council. Who has been sealed and won the title of marshal. This title undoubtedly represents the highest rank of military rank. The trust of the king and his own power.

The title of Marshal came from the empire. As early as during the period of Charlemagne, the marshal was the "person in charge of the royal stables" and was responsible for managing the horses for the emperor. In the period of Sigismund the Conqueror, in order to deal with the empire's war on all sides, The position of marshal began to appear to ensure the independent commandership when the emperor’s attention could not take into account one aspect, and then this position was fixed, symbolizing the highest military rank. The Empire and Kislov had the position of marshal, such as Rick. Marshal, Marshal Noor, Marshal Middenheim, and a lot of marshals named by Kislov, and so on.

Brittany also has the title of marshal, but it is not a permanent position. For example, in the history of Brittany, there was a famous admiral Henry Lamot who defeated Nicohara at the famous point of brutality. The King of Desert Kemuri, King of Eternal King, King of Immortality (more than one hundred titles are omitted below and including but not limited to the above) Tomb King naval fleet sent by Setra, and killed the opponent's commander Amon Hetum the Great was dubbed the Marshal of the Navy.

By the way, this defeat led Setra to launch a two-hundred-year-long retaliatory attack for this, until the grave of the Breton admiral Henri Lamotte, who had been completely dead, was scraped away and his ashes were taken by Setra. Pull personally raised it cleanly before it came to an end.

There is now only one Marshal in Brittany, and that is the border defense marshal Roland Marshall at the border between Brittany and the Empire. With the right to claim, heavy soldiers were stationed in this border area to guard each other. Marshal Roland once led a large border guard to build a large number of forts here, confront the imperial army in the swamps and dense forests, and seize every opportunity to expand. The territory of the Knight Kingdom.

However, after Ryan became the king of knights, he made a major breakthrough in diplomacy with the empire. The two sides decided in principle to coexist peacefully and prosper together, re-determining the border and signing documents. Since then, there has been no war, Marshal Roland. The frontier guards of China are no longer useful. Now the entire frontier guards only have a team of knights and two serf infantry regiments to guard and deal with possible invasions such as the green-skinned beasts and bandits.

When everyone was excited about the title of the top ten marshals, a few great nobles were already very keenly aware. This is most likely the time when the politics and power of the entire Knight Kingdom will be shuffled again.

For example, Ryan, a politically sensitive old man, François wiped his mouth, waiting for Berhemond's answer.

"The news I have is similar to yours." Berhemond whispered: "But I got the latest news from the witch lady in Karad. She doesn't go in and out of the palace often to participate in the Queen Suria organization. Is there an afternoon tea party for the noble lady? From the tea party, Catherine learned from Suria’s maid Silvia that it is said that His Majesty the King intends to designate that Lady Kiesler as one of the top ten marshals of Brittany, and he is also the only A marshal of foreign nationality."

"Rokosovsky, it will only be him." François frowned after hearing this, and the old man slowly leaned back, leaning on the backrest, contemplating.

The information that can be made public at present will definitely be canonized as marshals: Bohemond, François himself, Boderick, Bertrand, Raun, Karad, Rokosowski.

There are already seven people. These seven people are not too controversial, including Rokosovsky. Everyone admires the marshal guarding Erlengrad and leading the Bagration operation, destroying it like a storm. And crushed the Norsca Mountain Legion, and even the Norsca Supreme King Islin was killed outside Groward Forest City.

Now Rokosovsky has been naturalized and joined Bretania, and is also preparing to marry the local noble singer of Brittany. The noble blood is Eva Green, the closest daughter of the Leo Cornwall family, and Ryan married Suria, which symbolizes that he has gained the recognition of the knights and nobles.

He will be the first person in old world history to be awarded the title of Marshal by two countries at the same time.

Now there are only three places left, so besides these people, there are also very competitive ones including the following:

Marshal Roland Marshall, the border guard, as mentioned above, his personal strength is average, and the level of the army is quite satisfactory, but he has the only marshal title now, and his qualifications are very deep. Ryan did not come to Brittania before he He is already the leader of an army.

Hagen, Duke of Gisoleaux, the Duke, like Bohemond, is not good at internal affairs and diplomacy. His advantage is his old qualifications and noble status. He has also participated in many wars, but does Ryan value him and his commanding ability How on earth is a question.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the old guard, Nicholas Davu, the world-famous holy grail old guard is brave and tenacious, and is generally recognized by the knights and nobles and Ryan’s trust. However, Davu has a fatal flaw. It is that his qualifications are too low, and it seems too late to join the core circle. There is already a lot of controversy about being promoted directly to the deputy marshal. If he is directly promoted to the marshal, it is bound to be controversial.

Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, is also one of the candidates. He is strong and good at commanding. He is the Holy Grail. However, Carcassonne has always been relatively isolated from the core circle of Brittany, except Outside of Egil's invasion, Duke Hubald never fought with Ryan again, nor did he participate in any major expeditions.

Ryan’s Sun Rider, Baron Biocari Juan Carlos-Sunwatcher, Devin Earl Hux, and the current Marquis of the Badlands, and Lucien, the commander in chief of the Three Guards of the Badlands, are also competitive. , And the banner officer Baron Meroving Armand, of course, the banner officer has a weak sense of existence due to his long time sitting in Meroving Castle and reluctance to speak.

In addition to these candidates, Casvann, Duke of Palaon, Theodoric, Duke of Berleon, and Gerald François' cousin, all have theoretical opportunities.

"Now it seems that we will all be named marshals. There is no doubt about it." François considered the words, and the old man swallowed the grilled chicken thigh sandwich in a few bites. After thinking about it, he still tried to say: "But We are also worthy of the title of Marshal, Bosch, do you think I am right?"

"Hmm..." The Red Dragon nodded repeatedly, and Bohemond didn't care about his face: "Yes, no one will be missing us. Come on, François, drink and drink."

"Hey!" The old man looked at Bohemond's "unable to teach" face and was so angry that he could only clink glasses.

Drinking a glass of wine each, the old man had to pick out the words clearly: "But we can't just think about ourselves, Boss, what about the people under our hands?"

Bohemond nodded, and the Duke of Red Dragon said meaningfully: "Seven people have been identified so far. I have already occupied two of Bastogne. François, the lady is here. I will not be greedy. Oh."

"What does this have to do with insatiable greed!" François' eyes lit up, and the old man understood. Berhemond knew what happened. He simply hit the iron while it was hot: "We all know the ten marshals, the standards of canonization. What is it? Is it blood? Or closeness? Then why doesn't your Majesty canonize his close ministers as marshals?"

"What do you mean?" Bohemond was stunned for a moment, and the old Duke François didn't understand what he meant.

"Ability! Ability!" François had to make his words clearer. The old father-in-law was really speechless about Pershmond's political intactness: "Ryan canonized Marshal on the basis of two, one is ability. One is seniority. Ability represents the unique side of future united military operations. Seniority represents loyalty and whether to serve the public. Bosch, at this point, those who should be contested must be contested. The marshal is essentially a court military position directly under the knight king. If you don’t fight, how can your Majesty care about a cowardly person? Your Majesty likes people with performance, ability, and ambition. He is not afraid that he can’t control it, even the vicious Beria and the cunning person like Talleyrand. He can control it, can't he still deal with these guys?"

"Then what do you mean?" Perchmond thought for a while and felt that François made sense: "Davout? He is our Bastogne."

"We must fight! And we must fight." François nodded: "The marshal position is the big cake. I can be sure that your majesty will soon be completely centralized. We must master more marshal positions in order to be able to do so in the future. Occupying a favorable position in the cake, I will go to see Su Liya tomorrow to see if there is any chance for Dawu, and take a look, Dawu’s ability and loyalty are not problematic, I am a good candidate for the country."

"Then I will also visit Kurona's veteran family, as well as the holy grail knights." Pershmond nodded slowly, and the Duke of Red Dragon thought for a minute before raising his head: "So...Jerrod? "

"Jerrod can't." The old man touched his goatee and smiled: "I know he can't, think about it again, Boss, who is able to pass the test, lead soldiers outside, and contribute to the country. To contribute to our friendship with the dwarves?"

"Commander of the Three Guards of the Badlands? Marquis Lucien?" Bohemond understood.

"He is already on his way back to his country to report on his work." Francois nodded: "In this way, we will act separately."

"Boss, I'm here to mobilize my relationship and Su Liya's influence on this side, and recommend Dawu."

"And you, mobilize the influence of your family's connections and those noble bloodlines, and recommend Lucien!"

"Let's split up!"

"make a deal!"

The two crystal goblets collided and the wine splashed.
