Warhammer Throne

The coast of the Claw Sea, about 6 kilometers from Clement.

Genei harbour.

A newly disbanded Le-Angoulan army is following a powerful kingdom knight back home, along the wide road, watching the barley, wheat and other food crops that are about to be harvested by the side of the road, watching the coastline Fishing boats, passenger ships, and cargo ships. Soldiers are laughing and joking, or some witty words or bad jokes. Everyone is very interested, because everyone’s packages are filled with food, trophies and various coins. Everyone They all exude an emotion called happiness.

At the forefront of the team, there are a few kingdom knights, a dozen ranger knights, and dozens of knights who rebel. The expressions on their faces are much more serious. These knight masters are based on Sir Baldwin of Clement First, he is relatively high among the knights. He is the fourth son of Earl Clement. The second and most important is that Sir Baldwin is the strongest. The legendary mid-level knight of the kingdom is here. He made the most contributions in the Great Expedition and was awarded the second-class lion medal. The knights and soldiers admired him.

Compared with the soldiers who don't need to think too much, the knights are mostly frowning, and even the large amount of trophies, achievements and honors did not make these knights look happy.

They just got the news that Duke Taubert of Le-Angouran issued a public statement, fiercely opposing the decree of the Knight King Ryan. Duke Taubert emphasized that if His Majesty the Knight King does not withdraw his life, then he will consider more drastic measures. To refuse to enforce restrictions on the privileges of the nobility and the regional governor system.

This made the Le-Angoulan knights who had just returned from the great expedition entangled very much. They didn't know which side they should stand on.

As the noble knights and Le-Angoulans, Baldwin and the others should stand by the Duke of Taubert for granted, but as they were overcome by the numerous miraculous victories of the knight king Ryan, they gained a lot of benefits and glory in the great expedition. For the knights surrounded by the victory, they really felt that it was not a good idea to fight against the will of the knight king, and the spirit of chivalry also made them feel painful.

Baldwin’s lieutenant, Sir Leonard said to the hero of the Principality: "What shall we do next, Sir, say something, we will listen to you."

"Listen to me? I don't think so." Baldwin shook his head, his brow furrowed, looking at the distant ocean: "This question is very troublesome, please keep quiet."

"Keep quiet?" Sir Leonard and the knights were confused about this, Leonard couldn't help but smile: "My Sir Sir, you know, how does the Duke fight against His Majesty's army? What do you rely on? Is it Le-Angoulang’s castle? Or his Najle-Angoulang Marine Corps?"

"Of course the Duke can't resist your majesty's army, but your majesty's army is just like us. It has just been disbanded." Baldwin continued to shake his head: "Furthermore, if your majesty uses the army, then your majesty has lost. Don't forget, the duke is It is legal and procedural to openly initiate opposition in the form of a covenant between the duke and the family of the twelve first-generation holy grail knights."

At this point, everyone couldn't help nodding their heads, it was true.

The Duke of Taubott publicly opposed it, and it was justified. He used legal and reasonable channels to oppose it under the administrative framework of the entire Knight Kingdom. If Ryan sent out a large army to suppress it, then he would break the original chivalry covenant. You need to know Taub After taking office, the Duke of Te was considered loyal to Ryan, and he has never been involved in chaos, undead, treason, and blasphemy. This is a reasonable expression of appeal, and the King of Knights should not and cannot break the unspoken rules.

Everyone chatted, but there is really no better solution, and continue on the way home.

Soon, the originally huge team dispersed in twos and threes, and a small team of soldiers and knights returned home loaded with trophies and glory. The village entrance and the town entrance stood to welcome their relatives. These people can now proudly stand up their chests. , Declared themselves a victor, boasted of their glorious expedition history and seizures in the war, and enjoyed the admiration and envy of everyone.

In the end, only Baldwin and Leonard were left with a small team.

What appeared in front of you was the Clement Castle, a small but well-equipped medium-sized castle. It is also Baldwin’s family castle. The Clement family has spent thousands of years here. Among the wall dome and rising smoke, Baldwin knew he was home.

At this time, however, a group of serfs stood at the gate of the city, and they were negotiating with the guards in anger and despair.

At this time, the appearance of Sir Baldwin attracted the attention of the guards. The crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers, and spearmen immediately saluted Baldwin. The castle gate with the blue sea monster family coat of arms on the yellow background and white cross was shining: " Welcome back, Sir!"

"What happened?" Baldwin asked toward the guards. After several great expeditions (Arabi, Obian, and Mottkin invasions), the majesty of the kingdom knight made the guards afraid to look directly. .

"This group of serfs, they said their village was attacked by two water monsters and a group of water ghosts, and asked the earl for help, but the earl refused to meet them and refused to provide help. This group of people just stayed here." The guard said.

"Help us, Sir!" A village elder came out tremblingly and pleaded: "Our village is threatened by monsters. There are many enemies and it is very strong. We have sacrificed 17 young men. If this continues, we will It's over."

An unnamed fire poured out from Baldwin’s chest, and the Lord roared at the guard: "Open the city gate, I want to go in and see my father!"

"Yes!" The guard opened the city gate, the machine amplifies and turned, the suspension bridge was lowered, the gate was pulled up, and the heavy city gate opened. Baldwin and Leonard rushed across the suspension bridge, leaving behind the group to continue. Serfs who were stopped outside.

The attendants and servants in the castle did not welcome Baldwin’s return as expected, but Baldwin couldn’t control that much. He was eager to find where his father, the old Earl of Clement, was, and got the old earl from the servants in the reception room. After the news of, the kingdom knight hurriedly dismounted, and even the dusty and scarred burqa on his body was not removed, and he rushed towards the reception room.

His father, the old Earl of Clement, was talking to a messenger, and Baldwin recognized him as the messenger of the Duke of Taubert, so the issues between the two sides are definitely related to the recent political situation. The Duke of Taubert is obviously here to seek his father's support. , And the two sides talked very happily.

The old Count Clément wears a gorgeous gown embroidered with gold silk lace, on his head he wears an earl crown made of precious stones, gold and silver, and a sea-blue cloak behind him, made of wood spirit velvet. Cheng, wearing several gems and diamond rings in his hand, and holding a cherry wood cane inlaid with amber, the old earl was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised when he saw Baldwin coming in: "Baldwin, the expedition is back? Madam Blessed, this time How much did the expedition gain?"

"Father, what's the matter with the group of serfs outside the castle?" Baldwin said straight to the point: "Their village is in trouble. As the lord, we are obliged to send an army to help them!"

"Hey, come on." Hearing this, the old count couldn't help but said with a little sarcasm and annoyance: "A group of water ghosts are also worthy of invigorating the crowd? What is the threat?"

"It is the duty of the knight to defend the leader."

"If the knights in the castle are dispatched for anything, we will be exhausted, Baldwin, my son." The old Count Clement waved his hand impatiently. "The knights will be exhausted, and the horses will be exhausted. Tired and lose a lot of fat, those inferior wild species will become dependent on us noble people, and they will also bother us when they see a wild dog outside the village."

"That's not a wild dog, it's a large group of water ghosts and two water monsters!" Baldwin emphasized: "The village has been attacked. Seventeen boys have been killed in battle. If this goes on, the village will be razed to the ground."

"A large group of water ghosts, two water monsters?" The old Count Clement was even more impatient: "Have you seen it with your own eyes? Which one did you see? How many water ghosts are there? How big are the water monsters? You believe in a group of lowly serfs. How do you know that they are not using you? To deceive you? How can you be sure that they are a threat to the village and not just passing by?"

Baldwin had nothing to say for a while.

"Hey, kid, sit down, take a break, and taste the special wine from Weinford, Lusalus, that I finally got." The old earl's attention quickly shifted to other things: "How about , How did this expedition gain? Do you like my layout of the reception room? But I think there is still a lot of things missing, including good tapestries and more art, and your brothers and sisters still lack a dress like mine. There are many places to spend money, let us see how much you bring back."

"Your leader is threatened by monsters, and you, father, what you only think of is the decoration of the reception room and your dress? This is our Le-Angouran first Holy Grail knight Corduin's knightly virtues inherited?"

"Baldwin!" The old count waved impatiently: "Don't question my chivalry virtues. I go to Kurona on a pilgrimage every year! I said, serfs must learn to solve problems by themselves! We knights cannot go every time. Save them."

"Your pilgrimage?" Baldwin was finally angry. He ruthlessly revealed the truth about his father's pilgrimage: "Oh, I know what role-playing you are playing. You go to Curona in the morning, make a pilgrimage at the Holy Grail Cathedral and ask the lady Pray, feel the glorious deeds of the holy grail knights, and then rush to the royal restaurant of the palace at noon to arrange a snail and foie gras meal."

"In the afternoon, I went to the Lion Ring Racecourse to watch the riding competition and the rallying showdown, appreciate and discuss the traditional skills of knights, and then go to the masquerade in the evening, order Kislov or other blonde beauty to accompany him. Order two at a time and play until you are tired and sleep on the blanket of the banquet. The next day you sleep until noon and prepare the carriage to go home. This is your chivalry virtue? When I expedition to Araby for the family, you just Can you realize your'chivalry' with peace of mind?"

The atmosphere changed instantly. The old earl’s face was red and white, and he roared: "Enough, madam, you greedy and stingy bastard, I know you don’t want to share your spoils, then you give it to I get out and go back to your fief!"

Perhaps it was unexpected that he would not be able to make his father change his mind by saying this. Baldwin gritted his teeth, turned and left, until he was near the door, the old earl said.

"You are not welcome here, Baldwin, my son. You will not be allowed to enter our family castle again without my order."

"As you wish." Baldwin burst out a few words between his teeth, and then went out without looking back.

For the first time, the Knights of the Kingdom are glad that the criteria for selecting the Knights of the Holy Grail has never been in the hands of these decadent veteran nobles, but has always been firmly held in the hands of the ladies, otherwise the Kingdom of the Knights is likely to be as rotten as his father. It's slagging.

Coming out of the castle, the serfs gathered in an instant, and the village elder looked at the kingdom knight with expectant eyes.

"How is the situation?" Leonard asked, "Does the earl agree to send troops?"

"He only pays attention to the decoration and silk robe of his reception room." Baldwin said coldly: "But I won't let the village fall, and I won't let the water ghosts wreak havoc in the earl's collar."

"Soldiers! My knight brothers!" Baldwin drew out his long sword and shouted at the knights and soldiers who had returned from the expedition: "Who wants to follow me and help these villagers and save them from the water ghosts and water monsters? Village?"

Under the autumn sun, the knights and soldiers returning from the expedition felt once again that the glory of victory and a strong sense of responsibility enveloped their bodies. Knight King Lane taught these soldiers to save their compatriots from evil. What a glorious deed it is to guard the territory and defend the world.

"We are willing to follow you! My Sir!"

"As you wish, my sir!"

"Let these **** and **** see our power!"

With all the will, Baldwin suddenly felt a certain full will, a higher and more glorious spirit enveloped him, that is the backbone that has supported the kingdom of knights that will not fall for a thousand years.

He knew who to choose.

"Set off!"

...I am the dividing line of departure...

At the same time, in September 2515 of the imperial calendar, the border area of ​​the Principality of Le-Angoulang, the waters around the port of Rene.

It was almost time for low tide. The fishermen around the port of René had already parked their fishing boats in the port. The civilians gathered in groups to discuss today's harvest and tomorrow's weather on the coast.

However, several small boats docked at untimely times without any notice or report.

This momentary aroused everyone's vigilance, and people stood up and picked up the harpoons and sticks.

As the boat approached, the civilians relaxed their vigilance, and their hands trembled with excitement.

On the top of the small boats were all old guards wearing bearskin hats, half-length plate armor and gorgeous military uniforms! This legendary force actually appeared here, which made the civilians extremely excited.

And the more exciting thing is still to come. On the bow of a small boat, Knight King Ryan Makado and Knight Queen Suria Kumani Aintri are holding hands and shoulder to shoulder. Standing proudly in the front section, the dark elf Olyka and the maid chief Silvia stood behind them separately!

The people in the harbor boiled. They cheered, screamed, and took the initiative to help the small boats get to the shore. People rushed up and crowded close to the old guards, shouting the name of the old guards.

"That is Your Majesty the Knight King! That is your Majesty and Queen!" A dozen veterans who had participated in the Bafeng Mountain Expedition or had just retired or returned to their hometown have recognized Ryan and Suria, and they waved desperately with excitement. Some people have already wept bitterly: "It's your majesty, it's your majesty! Ahhhhh!"

In cheers and support from the crowd, Ryan took Sulia's hand, leaped gently, and jumped to the shore. The king waved to everyone, and he and Sulia were instantly surrounded by the old guards, even so. , Dozens of veterans or expeditionary soldiers who had just returned home still crowded in.

"Long live the King! Long live the King! Long live the King!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you remember me? I participated in the Bafeng Mountain Expedition with you!" A middle-aged man in his thirties was extremely excited: "After the expedition, I gained the status of a free citizen and bought it myself. I’ve got a fishing boat and settled here!"

"Your Majesty, I am a soldier of the Duke, and you personally honor me in the Les Invalides!"

"Madam, I just returned from an expedition! Your Majesty has appeared!"

"Your Majesty! Thank you! Without you, there would be no good days for us now!"

"Your Majesty, I really don't want to retire, you are so cruel, I still want to go on an expedition with you!"

Waves of civilians in Genei Port came after hearing the news, and then the local serf infantry regiments and sergeant guards. The chiefs of the serf infantry regiments, village elders, sergeants, and citizens mostly participated in the Lion’s various Freedmen of the Great Expedition, when they saw the appearance of Ryan and Su Liya, only the cheers from the heart were left. People gathered together to see the style of the King of Knights and Queen.

The sea tide surging, followed by the sound and waves hitting the rock wall by the sea.

"Long live the King! Long live the King! Long live the King!"
