Warhammer Throne

The Winter Veil holiday ends very quickly, just like this. When on vacation, time flies by, and almost in the blink of an eye, the Winter Veil holiday passed easily.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to January, almost at the end of the rain and snow season of Winter Veil, Palaon Duke Casvann finally led an army of more than 1,500 knights and more than 10,000 to prepare to cross the gray mountains. , Attacking the empire across from the Grey Mountains.

The departure of the army could not hide all the nobles who were watching the war closely. Almost as soon as he got the news, Ryan joined François, Gerrod, and Julius, ready to go over the gray at the same time. Mountains, watching this war.

Several people spent two days riding to the edge of the gray mountain range. Of course, because of the presence of François and Ryan, the four knights were hospitalized by the locals wherever they went.

Desolate wilderness, cold air, distant mountains, small towns, this is all the scenery that Ryan has seen along the way with François and others. Human towns and villages are like isolated islands of civilization in the wilderness. Only by relying on strong walls and guards can the fire of civilization be preserved.

In this world, it is not the same as the celestial dynasty where Ryan lived in his previous life. Except for people, people are still people. Even in densely populated Brittany, it is still a country with towns as bases and roads as blood. It is just an area of ​​villages and villages. There will be more, but most of the area is still uninhabited wasteland, such as forests, swamps and mountains.

At night, only the city walls and the army can protect the people.

"We have entered the territory of the Duchy of Pallaon." François took the reins of his favorite horse. The Duke himself rode a pure blood elf Pegasus, named Prague, which is the entire Brittany. The strongest and smartest of all the Pegasus in Asia, it is extremely intelligent, and it also possesses certain magical abilities. When surrounded by enemies, Bragg will turn the sacred energy contained in his body into strong light and release it to burn the enemy. To ashes to escape from the battle.

Both Julius and Gerold, wearing a shiny blue background with white stripes enchanting mythril plate armor, nodded, but Ryan, who was wearing gray psionic power armor, exclaimed, "It's really desolate here."

The wilderness of the Duchy of Pallaon is full of deserted land, only the areas close to towns and villages have some fragmentary fields. The time went to mid-January and the weather was very cold, even for the holy grail knights like François and Ryan. They are all exhaling in vain.

"The most famous mountain in the Duchy of Palaon." François rode on the sky horse, and the duke himself had a gentle smile on his elegant face: "The peaks of Palaon are rich in the best sky horses in the old world. From the Pegasus produced by Winford in the Oracle Mountains, the Pegasus from the Palawan Peaks is better in endurance."

"The Duke of Palaon led the first twelve holy grail knights, Agilgar, when he rode on Grofindale, the ancestor of all the thoroughbred pegasus, and annihilated more than three hundred big green-skinned men by himself." Gerrod also said that this François cousin was finally reused by François after a series of tests.

"For this reason, the Palaion Duke is a long and narrow mountain." Julius nodded. The future brother-in-law of Ryan looked in a good mood. He calmly said to Ryan: "The Duke of Palaon More than 60% of the land is mountainous, and the land that can be cultivated is pitiful. Only some land near Palaon Castle and a small hill above the Essoloren Forest can be cultivated."

"The land is barren, is there a lack of arable land..." Ryan whispered, "I understand."

The four knights rode to the front of the town, and the name of the town "Grenel" was written on the gate of the town.

Glenel is one of the three large towns in the Principality of Pallaon, with a population of about 8,000. It is located in the southeast of Pallaon, to the north of the Essoloren Forest, and near the southern entrance of the Gray Mountains. It will be The Duke of Pallaon led the army over the gray mountains to attack the empire.

It was daytime, and the gate of the town was wide open. Seeing Ryan and others appeared, the guard of the town immediately knelt down: "Holy Grail Knight! Welcome to Glennell!"

"Welcome to Glennell! Master Knight of the Holy Grail! Welcome!"

"Bless you! Master Knight of the Holy Grail!"

"It's really a good luck to see Master Knight of the Holy Grail for this year!"

"Salute to you, Master Knight of the Holy Grail!"

Almost all the townsmen from the townspeople to the guards knelt down. They cheered and cheered loudly and surrounded Ryan and François among the crowd. The story of the Knights of the Holy Grail is familiar even in the most remote villages in Brittany. For the serfs, the Knights of the Holy Grail were like the winter sun, an idol that gave serfs living in poverty a touch of warmth and comfort.

Thousands of years have passed since Arthur’s founding of the nation. Chivalry has degenerated into a decadent code of representation. Many knights enthusiastically abide by dogmatic chivalry. They don’t treat serfs as adults. Some knights treat chivalry. As a pure tool and means of extracting money, chivalry exists only to extract higher benefits from serfs.

It is only in such days when morality is degraded that those knights who can appreciate the true meaning of knighthood are even more valuable. They are people who truly abide by the spirit of chivalry, rather than fanatics who believe in knighthood. They use their souls to realize that they are hidden in the outdated classics. The true meaning, rather than making the scriptures become a restraint that hinders personal thinking.

They are the Knights of the Holy Grail, the backbone and backbone of this country.

"Makeay! Makeayfhts!" The serfs and a few free people were caring about, and the knights who guarded the town had already rode horses on the roads in the town. They yelled at the serfs and signaled these untouchables to roll away. Go on, you have blocked the way of the Lord Knight of the Holy Grail!

The guarding knight commander threw his whip high and drew it from several serfs who were unwilling to clear the way, turning their flesh and blood into a **** mess.

"Stop it!" François exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"

"Holy Grail Knight, these untouchables! These untouchables are blocking your way!" The guard knight stunned for a moment, and quickly explained.

"Pay these gentlemen for medical expenses, this Mr. Cavaliers." François's face was angry: "Now!"

"Yes...Yes!" Upon seeing this, the guard knight confessed his mistake. He took out a handful of silver coins from his body and threw them on the faces of several wounded serfs: "Now, thanks to the Lord of the Holy Grail Knight for his gift and mercy!"

"Yes! Thank you Master Knight of the Holy Grail, thank Master Knight of the Holy Grail!" Several wounded serfs got the windfall, and they left happily.

With enthusiasm and admiration on the guardian knight's face, he said to Ryan and François: "Excuse me, the two holy grail knights, you came to Glenel because of...?"

Gerald and Julius were ignored, François' cousin and prostitute looked at each other with envy and helplessness in their eyes.

"I'm Ryan Makado, the lady's champion of choice." Ryan said lightly.

"I'm François, François-Antry-Tancred-De Weinfort." François also said calmly: "Hello."

"Ah! It's the lady's champion and Your Excellency Francois, I'm glad to meet you!" The guard knight's mouth widened, and he was taken aback.

"We got the lady's oracle, there is a task to complete, so we have to stay here today." Ryan's tone was flat: "The content of the task is a secret, you only need to take us to the hotel in the town to stay overnight."

"Yes!" The guard knight asked more intentionally. He stopped his mouth immediately after hearing the oracle of the fairy in the lake. He led Ryan and others towards a place in the city: "Please come with me!"

Ryan's pure platinum cup cloak and François blue bottom pure day horse cloak floated in the air. They followed the guard knight, leaving enough stories for town residents to discuss for several days.

...

Three hours later, Glennell, Mansion of Baron First.

This is a small mansion with two floors. It is an annex where the guard knight, Baron First lived in the town. Of course, Baron First has heard of the names of Ryan and François. , He quickly gave up the annex that he used to spend the winter in for Lane and his group to live in, and went back to the castle by himself.

Simply put down the luggage and things, Ryan and François both have space rings, so few people carry a lot of weight. Ryan added feed and black beans to several pure-blood elf war horses. He glanced at it under the dark clouds and thick fog. In the night sky, he exhaled a breath of cold, and added some forage to the stables: "Come on, grapes, eat well, grow well~"

"Hey~" Grape obviously understood what Ryan was talking about. The pure blood elf warhorse stretched out its front hoof and gently touched Ryan's arm, neighing dissatisfiedly.

I'm already a mature war horse, you don't need to say.

"Hahaha~" Ryan stretched out his hand and touched Grape's mane, and then Grape rubbed Ryan's face with enjoyment.

"Lane, okay? Come in." François stood at the door, and the Duke shouted to Ryan: "They don't know how to cook, so I'm going to trouble you."

"Okay, come right away." Ryan touched Grape's head again, turned and entered the mansion. There were two pots of stew burning in the kitchen, and pie and a pig's hind leg were baked inside the firewood in the middle of the house.

In Brittany, it is believed that only nobles are entitled to "waste" food and enjoy different spices.

Among the few people present, only Ryan and François had the experience of traveling outside for a long time. Ryan traveled outside for a long time as a ranger knight and a kingdom knight, and François walked on the road to the Holy Grail as an expedition knight. For many years, until he was recognized by the Fairy of the Lake and became a Knight of the Holy Grail.

Two people were standing in the kitchen cooking together, François said with great interest: "I haven't cooked in person for several months. I'm still with Ryan. I heard Sulia said that you are at a good level of cooking. Let me taste it once."

The kitchen is fairly clean and tidy, thick grease is attached to the ground, the stove is burning hot, the stew in the iron pan is making a "gurgling" sound, the walls are full of pots and pans, in front of Ryan Hanging a row of spoons, from small to large, François hangs in front of garlic, onions, a few pieces of bacon and smoked fish, and a small amount of condiments.

"Boom boom boom~" François took a kitchen knife and chopped up the cabbage. Ryan was using a large spoon to process the stew and season it.

"Last year, how much did your territorial income last year?" François asked casually. The Duke and Ryan are now a family. There is no need to disagree, he also saved a lot of polite words.

"Almost four thousand five hundred gold crowns, of which two thousand gold crowns are used for various salaries and military expenses, five hundred gold crowns are my personal expenses, and there are almost two thousand gold crowns left." Ryan nodded and replied: " In addition, the large amount of grain handed in, including more than ten tons of wheat, barley, rye, soybeans, radishes, peas, lentils, and other grains, is also quite large. I had to arrange for someone to build two new warehouses."

"If your territory is facing war now, how long can it last?" Francois continued.

"The castle's food and savings add up to almost a year and a half. If you count my personal wealth, it can last for about three years." Ryan said casually, stirring the delicious stew.

"That's really good, Ryan, you can manage the entire territory like this in less than a year. It can be said to be quite amazing, madam!" Jerrold held a long wooden handle. The front end of the wooden handle is a prototype plane. He stands in front of the bread oven and uses the wooden handle to constantly turn over the bread placed in the oven.

Julius stayed on the first floor of the mansion to grill the pig's hind legs.

"Prepare more food reserves, and then make sure you have enough gold coins in your hands, Ryan." Francois nodded. The Duke himself was very satisfied with Ryan's financial management and internal affairs ability. He said in a guiding tone: "Sufficient food reserves can ensure that your army will always have sufficient combat effectiveness. Gold coin reserves allow you to recruit troops in time and issue sufficient military pay. You can even hire imperial mercenaries in times of emergency. Chen Liang is cleared every three years. Remember every three years. The old food is close to the time limit. You can send the old food as relief food and holiday gifts to the recipients. Anyway, if they don’t eat it, it will expire. Simply let them eat a full meal. The old food cannot be sold to merchants. Serfs, make profits."

"I understand." Ryan nodded. He was very clear about these things: "This is thanks to the trade with the wood elves and the workshops of the dwarf brothers. They bring me more than 1,500 gold crowns a year. Merchants and foreigners came to settle in my territory."

"The nobles of the principality often come to your territory to see a doctor." François smiled and said: "In the name of a lady, disease and corruption have been effectively controlled."

"If it weren't for Wood Elf's medicine, this hospital wouldn't open." Ryan put the stew into the copper cauldron. He thought to himself that the baron was indeed rich, and there was a copper pot in his house.

After a big meal was prepared, the four knights all sat down in the dining room on the first floor of the mansion, and Francois took out an aperitif.

"Thank you madam for giving me food."

"dinner's ready!"

At this moment, the gate of the mansion rang.

"Deng Deng Deng~" I want to talk about "Warhammer God Seat" with more like-minded people. WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Reading Literature", chats about life, and finds friends~
