Warhammer Throne

Four years have passed since the Bafeng Mountain Expedition.

Four years may be enough to turn a group of human recruits into veterans with rich combat experience, and turn a young man with fluffy lips into an elite who accepts the test of blood and fire, but this is only four years for the dwarves.

According to the intelligence brought back by Lucien, Bellega actually did the following things in the past four years.

The first is to resume the excavation of a small part of the Bafengshan mine. Bellegar personally led the army and miners to explore many mines deep underground. Most of the mines were sealed off with explosives and runes, but there were a few. Mining of some of the veins restarted, and this operation alone took the Bafeng Mountain dwarves for two years.

The second thing is to rebuild the brewery, weapon workshops, military camps, temples, and palaces. By the time Lucien returned, the Bafengshan dwarves had only just completed the brewery and weapons workshop, if it hadn’t been for Lucien’s order. Recruiting human army and craftsmen to come to help, the barracks didn't even have a shadow.

The third thing is what Lucien said. There have been hundreds of public security battles around Bafeng Mountain. Basically all the nearby Skaven and Greenskins have been cleaned up. The new sentry system has been cleaned up. It has also been established, and Bellegar predicts that there will be no more enemies in the next ten years.

The dwarves are indeed very miserable. The most terrible thing is that the dwarves don’t have the blessed land like the high elf Osuan, nor the super-high fertility rate like the dark elves. The population is declining, and the number of newborns can’t keep up with the population loss. In the case of quantity, the decline of the dwarves has become inevitable.

But now humans have helped a lot better. Don't underestimate human beings. The growth rate of human population is only comparable to that of green skin and rat people.

"Lucien, I ask you, what should be done if the badlands three guards encounter a large-scale greenskin attack?" Ryan began his school examination of Lucien.

"Resistance steadily, and gradually hold on to several important strongholds." Lucien continued: "We must preserve enough strength to fight in the desert, but more importantly, we must pay attention to making the green skin feel'boring', that is, the connection is hard. Zhai, fight in a daze, so that the green-skinned army will soon collapse without a fight."

"Very good." Ryan then asked, "What if the Greenskins and the Skaven would attack together as a coalition?"

"Abandon the Iron Guard and the Armory Guard, retreat to the Bafeng Guard, and immediately send people to the Dwarf Supreme King, the Haimenguan King and even the Empire for help." Lucien said seriously: "It is not a wise move to rush into battle in this situation, but We can still make a difference."

"What if the undead attacked together with the greenskins and the rat men?" Ryan was disapproving.

"Then contact Kalida, Queen of Lebarras! Even other tomb kings, the enemy's enemy is a friend." Lucien immediately gave the answer without thinking: "The undead, the greenskins, and the rat men can't be A stable alliance structure, the key to breaking the situation lies in how to use diplomatic means to draw more allies for itself, and how to break the ties between each other. In this case, military arrangements are secondary. NS."

"Okay!" Ryan nodded slightly, and the knight king thought that he was indeed a knight from François' side. He has the demeanor of the old man in every move, although Lucien's military ability is far from that of the old man. Far, but he is still young after all, and he has inherited the ruthless methods of the old man in domestic and foreign affairs.

Ryan had the answer in his heart.

"It's been hard to come back from the expedition." Ryan smiled at Lucien: "Regarding the army of the Badlands Expedition, how many people are willing to return to Bretania? How many people are willing to stay in the Badlands?"

"It's about fifty-five." Olica offered Lucien a cup of cappuccino. Lucien was immediately honored. This was a drink personally delivered by your majesty's personal maid. The evil commander was a little embarrassed. Olica said thank you: "Thank you, Ms. Olica."

Olica smiled sweetly, no one knew what the dark elf was thinking.

"Yes, these people who are willing to return to Bretania will leave it to me to arrange." Su Liya took the initiative, and the queen couldn't help but smile: "As for the recruits, you don't have to worry about the number of recruits this time. It will be far more than what you need, but it may be a bit troublesome to manage, but it's okay, Ryan and I will fully support you."

"Yes." Lucian just came back in the dust, and didn't know much about what happened recently in the country. The commander of the badlands heard that the recruits were not worried, and his face looked much better. The badlands are indeed a place with a bad environment. Go there. Those who have to suffer, the soldiers have never complained a lot, only to insist on the conditions of a good salary.

After Lucien went down, Ryan and Sulia sat on the side of the reception room. Sulia gently soaked black tea. She knew Ryan very well. She knew that Ryan was thinking about things and didn't talk to him, but right. Orika said, "Where's Silvia? She seems to be busy lately? Did you arrange it?"

"She has one last lesson to take. I promise it will be soon, madam." Olica smiled sweetly: "She will be a good courtier, I promise."

Su Liya wanted to ask again, Ryan had already spoken: "Then, the list of ten marshals is decided like this."

"Have you figured it out? Honey." Su Liya's attention was removed.

"Well, I have all thoughts about it." Ryan nodded.

"Then let us prioritize."

…………I am the dividing line of the order…………

The ceremony for the canonization of the ten marshals is getting closer, and all the major forces have sent envoys to congratulate and observe the ceremony.

In the past few years, Bretania’s momentum is extremely large, and it is even more righteous. Most of the forces of order have sent envoys, on the one hand to show respect and recognition, on the other hand, they are also taking the opportunity to observe the Knight King Ryan. Will there be any changes in internal and external policies?

And on this day, the imperial envoy Count Metternich also came to Curona, the capital of Brittany.

He was greeted by Talleyrand, the Chief Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ryan Court, with a valuable walking stick in his hand.

"You messed up everything, dear Talleyrand." Metternich saw Talleyrand appearing and said angrily: "I helped you so much, but you didn't even give a little in return, sir, This is not what business does."

"I have helped you a lot, Count Metternich." Talleyrand leaned on crutches and came up with a warm hug: "I persuaded your Majesty not to annex Kislev. I persuaded your Majesty to lend money to the empire, and even more so. I persuaded your Majesty to take a good rest and stop using swordsmanship. You must thank me."

"I think you don't know, right?" Metternich smiled upon hearing the words: "I persuaded His Majesty the Emperor not to impose import tariffs on your Bretania crops. This is all for the human world. Unity, I think you should thank me even more."

"But I remember that the two sides will no longer impose additional tariffs on food. Isn't it written in the "Tibu Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance Treaty"?" Talleyrand motioned to Metternich to follow him, and the high elf smiled: " I don’t remember this is your credit."

"Food is not agricultural and sideline products, including those cash crops."

"Then I think you must also thank me. It was I who persuaded His Majesty Ryan to no longer hold you accountable for spying on our intelligence." Talleyrand said playfully: "Otherwise, if I initiate accusations against you, the empire will definitely I won't be kidding you."

"Then Mr. Talleyrand, you should thank me even more." Metternich made no concessions: "The expensive pastry shop has not been sealed up. Isn't it my credit?"

"So...we are even in this wave?"

"That's it."

"Hahahaha!" The two foreign ministers clasped their hands: "Please! The wind reception banquet is ready! Metternich, my friend."

"Please!"

At this time, the Royal Palace of Kurona is full of guests. All the high-ranking officials and dignitaries are present, including the major forces of the old world. Even the Dwarf Supreme King has sent people to congratulate. The only one who did not come was the Bafeng Mountain dwarf, Belga. Just a simple message even if you have participated: "We and the Ryan brothers don't need to rectify those imaginary ones!"

It is worth mentioning that Aralos did not come to recover because of his wounds. Instead, he was replaced by the famous spell-singer and prophet Liv of the Wood Elf. Her soaring braid always reminded Ryan of others.

Veronica, Teresa, and Aurora, who are immersed in the research at the Sorceress Assembly, are here. The three witches are all dressed up in costumes. It is indeed as Teresa once worried. Once there is enough Resources and wealth, the life of a witch is basically flooded with endless magic experiments and meditations, but the time spent with Ryan has decreased.

By the way, Aurora turned blue with anger after seeing Catherine who was wearing the noble costume of the countess. Enter the severe cold aura.

"Unexpectedly, this personal disciple of mine could actually have the day to be a real countess." Veronica watched Catherine carrying Karad out on the stage, with mixed feelings, dressed in the classic dark butterfly pure black of the Breton court. The female speaker in a foreign dress with black suspender stockings and silver rhinestone high heels secretly took Ryan's arm: "So what?"

"What's the reason?" Ryan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"So what about the title of my lady?" Veronica said fiercely. "Catherine is a countess. I want at least a marquise, right?"

"Catherine will be the marquise soon, Veronica." At this moment, the lake fairy Lilith and the knight queen Suria appeared. The goddess and the female knight held hands, and they wore a set of identical charms. Lin Huanlu's pastel color neon Qiuwan suspended-shoulder silk dress and white unicorn velvet translucent pantyhose, draped in black and gold waistcoats, are like a pair of (actually) good sisters.

The appearance of the goddess and the female knight detonated the audience. Everyone got up and saluted. Only Knight King Lane wondered how this dress resembled a cow.

Well, two big golden hair and white silk cows! Ryan was delighted in his heart: It's all mine!

"Hey? Marquise!" Teresa's dress is similar to Veronica, except that the sorcerer wears her favorite gray ultra-thin fluorescent pantyhose, and she does not always like short skirts and skirts like Veronica. With a low-cut outfit, she was very surprised, so she had to turn her gaze to Ryan: "Really? Ryan? Catherine is really going to be a marquise?"

"Well, it's true." Ryan nodded slowly.

"Then do I want the title of a duchess?" Veronica with her hands on hips, the Garland Witch directly reached out to ask Ryan: "I followed you so early, and you didn't even give me a duchess? "

"Whose duchess are you going to be?" Su Liya said to Veronica with a faint smile, "Ms. Veronica, do you want me to make arrangements for you?"

"That... forget it." Veronica automatically lowered her head facing Sulia, and the female speaker smiled wryly: "I'm very satisfied now."

"It's getting started!" Morgiana couldn't help but take the initiative. She also took the time to dress up today. As a result, Ryan did not pay attention to her at all. This made the Lake God Witch very upset, but she was also powerless to object. The decision of the fairy in the lake, not to mention being too close to Ryan in public, can only strengthen her sense of existence in this way: "Everyone is already in place."

There are so many women that make people feel tired. This is still when Olica and Silvia are both absent. Ryan thought in his heart, he nodded to indicate that he could start.

First of all, in full view, Ryan officially canonized Karad as Marquis of Garment.

The difference between the marquis and the earl was not in the amount of land, but in whether he had the power to form his own army and initiate wars on his own. Kalad has proven his loyalty and reliability with a series of actions. In, he will be mainly responsible for the vigilance of the Beastman tribe of the Arden Forest and the second line of vigilance as a watchman of the Gray Mountains.

Then the lake fairy appeared in person and awarded Kalad the highest lady of the lake medal, which symbolizes the highest honor of knighthood.

Immediately afterwards, Ryan, Lake Fairy, Sulia and Morgia, as the symbol of the supreme power in Bretania, began to award the top ten marshals.

The luxurious big box opened, and the ten golden dwarf master-class Seiko rune marshal scepters inside aroused the audience's cheers. Even the always calm old man François couldn't help but stood up from his seat.

This marshal's scepter is more expensive than a whole winery!

Ryan began to say the name.

"Qing Pershmond!"

"Yes!"

Berhemond stepped onto the stage arrogantly, and a brand-new marshal's dress, marshal's medal and marshal's scepter were held by the lake fairy and passed to him.

As the first marshal, Pershmond is basically not controversial. First of all, he is a direct descendant of the first knight king Arthur. He has the most noble blood and strongest strength. He is also blameless in military strategy and personal bravery. He has a relationship with Ryan. It's not bad, and it's reasonable for him to be the first marshal.

"François Ching!"

"Yes!"

Lao Zhangren walked up the steps full of joy and elegance, took the entire silver plate from the hand of the fairy in the lake, and made a gentleman thank you very politely.

As the second marshal, François is not controversial. The old man’s strength is the pinnacle of the sanctuary. He wins steadily in battle and has a lot of changes. He has made unsuccessful feats in several battles. He has deep qualifications and is Sulia’s father. Ryan has always been a staunch supporter. Of course, Ryan has never treated him badly. François has enjoyed the most dividends and benefits during Ryan's entire rise. Of course, when Ryan proposed the governor system, Lao Zhangren It is also the first to support, because the benefits he has gained far exceed the loss of part of the ruling power.

After the two marshals went down, the choice of the third marshal was full of controversy.

Who will it be? Everyone fixed their eyes on the knight king who was about to call his name.

"Qing Bo Derek!"

It's him! It was him!

It's not Raun, Bertrand, or Calade, who has recently been favored, but Boderek, Duke of Poldero, who has dual beliefs, or the champion of Poseidon Mannan? !

The political implications conveyed by this made many people present frowned.

However, the awarding process will not stop. Duke Boderek stood up on the stage amid the applause and joy of his son Federmond, and took over the marshal medal, marshal gown, and marshal scepter from the lake fairy. He couldn’t help but tears. He handed the silver plate to his son. When he was about to say something, Ryan took the initiative to hold his hand: "Qing Federmond, you... shouldn’t Will fly a dwarf rotor helicopter, right?"

"Of course not, why did your Majesty suddenly ask this?" Duke Bodrick looked strange: "Besides, I have visited and operated on the Enterprise. The dwarf rotorcraft is so small that I can't get in."

"That's good, that's good." Ryan said seriously: "That thing is unstable and prone to accidents. Let the dwarf fly the plane."

"Yes, I beg your Majesty's orders." With doubts, Boderek responded in a low voice.

"Want to be a marshal in such a low voice?" Ryan pretended to make things difficult.

"Yes! I will obey, Your Majesty, give orders!!!"

"Okay! Next one!"
