Warhammer Throne
Chapter 136: , Duke of Winford "Long Legs" Francois
In April, along the mountain road behind Baron Jean, a group of knights were riding their horses. . .
Su Liya did not come alone. The two kingdom knights led many ranger knights to protect the Duke’s daughter. The internal security of Brittany, especially the vicinity of the Duchy of Winford, was not very good, although the'female' knights You can't come alone if you have the strength of the'jing' high-ranking British.
The kingdom knights sent by the duke to protect his "daughter" are naturally good players. These two kingdom knights have the strength of the pinnacle of "jing" and also have their own titles. One is called the bull knight Baptiste, and the other They are called Buck Knight Gaston. They are all thirty years old. They are dressed in a'good' knight's plate armor, with a long sword hanging from their waists, and a shield hanging on the'legs' of the horses. They are careful to pay attention to the roads on both sides of the road. movement.
Only the Knight of the Holy Grail rode his horse with a calm look, chatting with the daughter of the Duke: "So, the law and order of Winford is not as good as expected?"
"Yes, Lord Ryan, we spend a lot of energy every year in the suppression of bandits." The female knight riding on her pure-blooded spirit warhorse, explained to the baron earnestly: "Many The robber’s fortress was built on the border of the duchy, or hidden deep in the forest. In order to eliminate them, we also lost many knights."
"No reason?" Ryan murmured, "Can the knights of the principality be unable to solve this threat?"
As soon as this sentence came out, many young ranger knights in the knight team had an unhesitating look on their faces, but because the person in front of them was the holy grail knight, they couldn't say anything, at most they mumbled: "It's not that we don't work hard." , All bandits are too cunning."
Bull Rider Baptiste kept a beautiful moustache and shaved a big bald head. Hearing what Ryan said, the knight said in embarrassment: "Please, Lord Ryan, the robbers are very cunning. They often attack the village. When the knights gather, they will hide in the depths of the mountains, or deep in the forest, and hide in those fortresses to defend themselves."
"Then you won't attack the city?" Ryan then asked, not trying to save face for the knights at all.
The virtues of the holy grail knights cannot be questioned. The knights present were a bit ashamed. Su Liya took the initiative when he saw this. The bandits never confronted us head-to-head, and it is difficult for us to conquer those fortresses when they defend the castle."
"Yeah~" Ryan'touched' his chin, he really thought about this question.
Britania, the kingdom of knights, the hometown of knights, has the strongest heavy cavalry in the entire old world.
The group charge of the knights is indeed strong in field battles, but this has advantages and disadvantages. In the case of the power of the country to raise knights, the lack of powerful siege weapons and powerful long-range troops in the knight kingdom is one of its disadvantages. This country does not have artillery. When the bandits built their castles deep in the forest or inside the rugged mountains, the heavy trebuchets were not like artillery and could not be transported into them, and the knights had to dismount to fight.
Therefore, the knights felt helpless to these bandits, and could only passively defend. The cost of recruiting an army was too expensive, and it was not an option considered by the Duke.
Thinking of this, Ryan somewhat understood why the ‘female’ knight would find himself.
"Does Miss Suria hope that I will help the Lord Duke solve this problem?" Ryan was still smiling, and he looked calm.
"Yes, we want to ask Mr. Lane to help us, otherwise the harassment of these bandits will cause considerable losses to the principality every year, the people are displaced, the caravans are looted and killed, and the cultivated farmland is destroyed." The female knight stretched out her hand. After a strand of blonde hair was pulled to her ears, her figure resembled a blooming iris flower, and her face was sincere and serious: "I hope Lord Ryan can extend a helping hand to us. This is my personal request."
Speaking of this, Ryan did not hesitate at all, and he immediately agreed: "No problem, I promised. Miss Suria and Yuli are my friends. The Aintree family is my friend of Ryan Makado. It helped me a lot along the way, and I have no reason not to agree."
"It's great, thank you very much." Su Liya's delicate face burst into a smile.
Ryan also smiled kindly, which was considered a response.
This eldest lady is gentle and talkative. She and the family behind her have repeatedly expressed goodwill. Ryan has no reason to refuse. The Antry family helped him all the way from Marienburg to Bretania. a lot of.
Cavaliers' virtues do not allow him to turn a blind eye to this, only willing to accept the benefits and not willing to pay, that is shameless.
Entering the interior of the Principality of Winford, the air is filled with sweet aromas. The Principality is surrounded by the Oracle Mountains. The Chinon River originates from the depths of the mountains. The land here is fertile and the climate is cold in winter and cool in summer. It has the best wines in the old world. Estate and olive oil manufacturing workshop.
Looking up, the blue sky is clear and only the sun is warming the earth, the hard-working serfs are plowing, and the stone-paved roads are full of cars and waters composed of travelers, caravans and villagers.
"A land full of vitality and vitality!" Ryan praised: "This is a paradise on earth."
Hearing the praise of the holy grail knight, the ranger knights and the two kingdom knights felt proud, and the stag knight Gaston immediately responded loudly: "Exactly, Lord Ryan, whenever I see this For the beautiful scenery, I am willing to dedicate my life to this land. When I was fighting abroad, the "women" and Winford were the most firm beliefs in my heart."
Along the wide road, the knights marched towards Helenhild, the capital of the Duke of Winford.
This is a huge city like a'flower' garden. It is built in the middle of a river valley. The clear water of the Chinon River flows through the wilderness next to the city. The high city'gate' hangs the Antry family's "pure day horses". "The family coat of arms, the golden'color' Duke's crown is located on the coat of arms, telling the ancient history.
The houses in the city are made of bricks and stones, with white walls and red roofs. The streets are extremely lively and people come and go. There are many trees planted in the streets, and there are fresh ‘flowers’ and shades everywhere.
The Duke’s castle is located in the depths of the city and backed by the mountains. The towering walls and spires of the tower form the giant castle of the Duke of Winford. The'flower' hill is made of rock and is a symbol of the wealth and power of the Duke.
The castle is close to the Chinon River. There is a square main fort in between. There are six huge cone-shaped turrets on both sides, surrounding the surroundings. The 30-meter-high pure day horse statue in front of the main fort gives people a strong visual shock, as if they were in the past. The first Duke of Winford, who fought with Arthur, returned to the world.
On the roads, in the'flower' bushes, in the square,'bard' travel poets and acrobats are performing various shows, the knights pass through the main'door' of the castle, and the lush sea of'flowers' come into view, However, Ryan and others did not stay here, but followed the Duke’s daughter straight to the inner court, where he will visit the Grand Knight of the Sanctuary, the Knights of the Holy Grail, and the "Long Legs" François-Antry, Duke of Winford. .
Today’s luck is not so good. Your Excellency the Duke did not stay in the inner courtyard of his castle. The loyal ‘waiter’ and ‘woman’ told the Duke’s daughter that the Duke was tasting wine in the pavilion outside.
"Mr. Lane, please go to meet with your father first. I will change my clothes and meet with you." The Duke's daughter politely stated that he wants to stay first, while Lane nodded friendly: "Okay."
Then, under the guidance of the bull rider Baptiste and the stag rider Gaston, along the marble courtyard, Ryan came to the castle's pavilion.
The pavilion of the castle was built on a hill, and standing on the pavilion was enough to overlook the entire Helenhild and even the surrounding fields.
Before the pavilion, there was a long line of people, and countless visitors were waiting in line for the reception of the Duke. Among them were the leaders of various trade unions, merchants from other places, manor owners from the duchy, and even some from the cloth. The wandering knights outside of Letania, they all yearn to see the Duke himself, or sell themselves, or talk about difficulties.
They are going to be disappointed today. Wearing a full Brittany Baron’s gown, Baron Jean, with the emblem of the Holy Grail Knight on his chest, asked to see the Duke, so the guards and knights on duty at the castle immediately received the Duke’s advice. Notice: Today’s meeting is over, and the two holy grail knights will discuss an important matter.
So with unwillingness and regret, the waiting people can only disband themselves.
In the pavilion, several ranger knights wearing bright silver ‘color’ full-body plate armor are standing guard. In the pavilion, a tall and stalwart figure stands with his back facing the visitor. His height, Len, is slightly higher, about 1.9 meters.
Looking at this stalwart figure, Bull Rider Baptiste and Bucks Rider Gaston have never concealed their enthusiasm and love. They stood with their hands respectfully and signaled Ryan to move forward.
"I haven’t seen you in a few years, the respected guardian of Weinford, owner of the Oracle Mountains, and the beloved Lord Francois-Antry de Weinford, the Knight of the Holy Grail, Ryan Macado, wishes you good health. Healthy." Ryan leaned down, put his hand on his left'chest', and extended respectful etiquette toward this stalwart figure.
Like his godfather, Winford "Long'legs'" François is also a truly respectable person. The Lord Duke became a ranger knight when he became an adult at the age of 18, and participated in several wars at the age of 23. At the age of 35, he took the road of the Holy Grail. At the age of 39, he killed a two-footed dragon and a doomsday bull by himself. After the Holy Grail trial, he returned to the territory and inherited his father's Duke of Winford.
The difference between François and the dukes is that the grand duke is very good at internal affairs. His years of warfare has never affected his wisdom. Under his governance, the rich Duke of Winford took one step further and became almost paradise on earth. Like appearance.
His military capabilities have never been abandoned. 11 years ago, the necromancer Heinrich Kemler led the army of the undead to invade Britania, and it was the Grand Duke Francois who led the knights to stop him. This attack completely expelled the undead from the borders of Bretania.
"Welcome to Winford, the champion of the'women', the guardian of Marienburg and the winner of the championship match, Ryan Makado~" The Grand Duke turned around.
Like Julius and Suria, this duke has bright golden hair and navy blue eyes, and his thick short hair makes him look very spirited, with finger-wide eyebrows and hairs. , The high'tough' bridge of the nose, and the beautiful short eight-character Hu have been taken care of very'smart'. It is hard to imagine that the grand duke is in his early seventies, and he is so handsome that he looks like a man of thirty.
But when Ryan turned his gaze to his eyes, the impression of the Duke’s appearance had faded. These are a pair of eyes that are as deep as the sea. These are eyes that can really see through people’s hearts. Wisdom is in this wave. 'The turbulent ocean is rolling, brewing, waiting for the next'wave' to come.
A silk dress of the Grand Duke of Brittany adorn his stalwart body. It seems that because there is no official event today, the Duke himself is also more casually dressed: "I waited for several days and you didn't come to visit me, so I had no choice but to invite you over, my baron?"
The Duke’s voice is heavy and full of magnetic ‘sexual’, with a strong sense of precipitation over time.
After confirming that the Duke’s face was full of smiles, Ryan replied carefully: "I was negligent. [无名故事www.wmxs.info] has just arrived in the territory and there are so many things. I plan to come and visit you after processing. of."
"A wise decision! This is a qualified lord." The Duke first affirmed Ryan's approach, and then smiled: "You are very glamorous. Even knowing that you are Ivan's godson, I did not expect you to be like this. outstanding'."
"The reality is always imagined to be even more incredible, my Duke." Who knows that Ryan smiled unnaturally: "I didn't expect such a day, when I was desperate in the championship duel, it was a'woman'. Gives me the strength to fight on."
"And your feat along the way is worthy of the title of champion of the'female'. This is the reason I welcome you. Sitting, on this beautiful'spring' day, there is nothing more comfortable to have a glass of wine together. "The Duke gave a face to the waiter who was serving behind him. The waiter immediately took two ivory cups, and a bottle of very old wine was opened, dark red. Pour the liquor into the ivory cup of'Jade','White' and'Color': "This is Younger wine from 1462, for the'women'!"
"For the'woman'!" Ryan took the wine glass. The red wine in the mouth had a mellow taste and a long history, with a strong smell of smoke and roasting.
"Emmm~ truffle fungus, mint, leather, black cherries, and a little scent of dwarf miners, strong and soft, with distinct layers." Ryan closed his eyes and tasted.
The Duke of Winford hasn't responded yet, and behind the Baron came a surprise voice: "I didn't expect that Lord Ryan was still a man who knows wine?"
The baron opened his eyes subconsciously and turned to look behind him.
