Warhammer Throne

Build walls high, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.

Ryan thought about this very deeply, and he thought about it carefully after the war.

François and Bohemond did not intend to leave. François took out a bottle of fine wine, Latour from the first winery of Weinford: "Would you like a drink? Ryan?"

Duke Bohemond also sat down, and the servants behind Duke Red Dragon came in, put a small round table in front of the bed, and brought a lot of food.

"Don't drink if you get hurt." Ryan shook his head. He lowered his head and thought for a while before he continued: "It seems that Richard dug a hole for me to jump in."

"Digged a hole?" Berhemond didn't quite understand this. He stuffed the roasted beef into his mouth and muttered: "Richard was quite decisive about his abdication. He said that if he could, he could abdicate tomorrow. But why do you say that, Ryan?"

Ryan cocked his mouth, he looked out the window without answering, just shook his head.

"Because the conditions are not met." François stretched out his hand to tidy up his long blonde hair. The old man's tone was light, and he said with some exclamation: "Berhemond, have you forgotten? What are the conditions for the throne? "

"Isn't Ryan the Duke of Mousillon already?" Bohemond thought for a while and immediately understood, he slapped his thigh: "Ah! I understand, Ryan is still a ‘Duke of Landless’ now!"

"Yes, the condition for the king is to regain Moussilon." Ryan nodded, and he slowly said: "I did defeat Mathieubad and won the championship match, but I haven't regained Moussilon yet!"

François nodded, the old father-in-law’s sea-blue eyes contained deep wisdom. He picked up a goblet and tasted the wine, and then said: "At this time Richard suddenly proposed that he is going to pass to Ryan, to a kindhearted On the one hand, he thinks that he is tired of being king. At the same time, his prestige has been lost because of the rebellion of his eldest son Charles.

"And if you think about it from a malicious point of view, Richard has deliberately set a trap for Ryan. If Ryan is so excited that he immediately agrees when he hears the news, Richard will naturally abdicate immediately, but what will all the Cavaliers do? Think? What would the lady think? The condition of the competition for the throne is to regain Moussilon. Now that Moussilon has not really regained it, Ryan can’t wait to become king. This will only make more people disappointed by Ryan. He defeated it so hard. The record of the poisonous snake will be stained because of this."

"This old thing is really bad! A lot of thoughts!" Only then did Berhemond figure out the problem, and the Duke of Red Dragon muttered dissatisfiedly: "So I hate the court and politics the most, it's really dirty!"

"Actually, it's not that." Ryan made a fair word for Richard at this time. He shook his head: "In my opinion, it is mostly kindness. Richard is already tired. The betrayal of Baron Charles is for him. A major blow, Richard will not think so much at this time. Now the throne is like a hot potato. He can't wait to throw it to me."

After listening to Ryan’s remarks, Veronica, the Garland witch sitting aside, felt a little unworthy for Ryan. She interrupted Ryan and said angrily: “Maybe he just wants to fix you again before abdicating. What? He hasn't suppressed you in this way before. Have you forgotten that he once wanted you to lead the Chivalry Expeditionary Army to count the stars in the Nicohara Desert?"

Berhemond was upset, and the Duke of Red Dragon glared at Witch Garland: "What does the Roundtable of the Holy Grail Knights have to do with you? This is not a topic that witches should participate in. Now we need wizards to provide us with the kingdom’s internal affairs. Any suggestions?"

Veronica turned blue when Bohemond said this, her eyes widened, her fists clenched, and she tried her best to endure her anger.

If it were normal, the Garland Witch would have quarreled with those who scolded her like this and even had a duel. Veronica is now a female elder of the Garland Council, and she has her own wizard team and wizard tower. You don't need to look at people's faces for a long time, and they have the qualifications to challenge most human nobles.

However, it is a pity that for the most part, Perchmond is not in this list. He may be the highest-ranking duke in the entire Bretania. He is not only a direct descendant of Arthur, but also a superpower at the pinnacle of the sanctuary. Veronica knew that if she offended him, even with Ryan's protection, she would have a hard time staying in this kingdom.

She can only endure.

A hand stretched out from under the quilt and held Veronica's little hand. Ryan first smiled at Veronica and signaled that she should not be nervous, and then said to Bohemond: "Veronica is my daughter. Courtier, she has the right to make suggestions for me in this regard. She doesn't understand the requirements of the round table. I apologize to you here."

"Very well, then witch, what do you suggest?" Berhemond's long golden beard trembles on his chin, and the Red Dragon Duke obviously does not intend to let Veronica on this issue: "You plan to bring Go to the throne room and pull Richard off the throne? Or suggest that we prepare to fight these noble knights from the north?"

"I didn't mean that..." Veronica knew that this was not a topic she could answer. She suddenly realized that she couldn't tell a clear plan. She opened her mouth, a little wronged, and a little angry.

"Then shut up!" Berhemond sneered. He was going to say something. François took the initiative to signal Berhemond not to chase him: "Okay, all this has happened, Veronese. Ms. Ka also considers Ryan, don't be so harsh on her."

"Either say a solution to the problem, or just shut up and complain about what's the use..." Berhemond muttered, "Well, let's continue this topic. Where did we go?"

Ryan held Veronica’s little hand and motioned to the witch not to go to her heart: "We said before that I think Richard’s attitude is mostly kind, because the problem is simple. If he prevents me from being king, who will be the beneficiary? Will it be Raun?"

"Of course not. In fact, all the nobles in this kingdom know that even if Raun is still alive, he cannot inherit the throne." François took the topic, and he also nodded to Veronica to signal her. Don't worry about it.

"Well, that's true." Berhemond understood now.

Matthew Bard has been confirmed to be Raun’s illegitimate son. In this case, Raun has lost his qualifications to be king. Under these conditions, there is now only Ryan as a qualified candidate. he.

"Speaking of the Marshobard rebellion, I think he is doomed to fail." Ryan took a sip of the orange juice sent by the waiter, and slapped his mouth: "Because his approach is doomed to fail."

"He is contradictory." François used his fork to fork the delicious roast beef with black pepper, and the wise Duke Winford nodded: "Or, he is very contradictory. On the one hand, he still thinks he is Raun. His son is his legal heir. He should take back his belongings and avenge his mother."

"On the other hand, Mathewbad is the godson of the Lich King Akhan. His godson status is destined to be a member of the undead vampire camp. His revenge depends on the power of the undead, so he must call himself Muxi Duke Long, he wants to become the leader of the undead." François finally concluded: "But this is out of the scope of the kingdom's internal affairs. In this case, everyone will fight against him."

Ryan was very calm, with a slight smile on his face. He carefully recalled a series of deeds of Mathieubad. The champion of the Lake Fairy's selection made a wry smile: "It is true, so Mathieubad is a contradiction. If he just wants revenge, just wants to seize power legally, he should strive to become a holy grail knight, strive to gain the power to speak and then seek a glorious duel to defeat Raun to complete his revenge, if he just wants to destroy the country , He should turn everyone into the undead and fight to the death, especially after he surrendered to the chaos, he can even pray for the power of the evil **** to help achieve his goal of revenge, anyway, he has no cost for revenge."

"But Mathieubad did not. He is very contradictory. His identity is destined that he cannot find his place. He cannot find the balance between being a human being and being an undead camp. He is both a vengeful outcast and an outcast. The Duke’s son and the godson of the Lich King, he tried to combine the three identities, so what he did seemed to be self-contradictory. This was the reason for his doomed tragedy and his rebellion to make some unsightly Understand the origin of decision-making." Ryan said in a deep voice: "Because the living and the dead are destined to not coexist, and mortals are also destined to not coexist with chaos!"

"He is just a used pawn, but he willingly, his life is a tragedy." François nodded in agreement: "His tragedy lies in the birth of a laundry maid, and his tragedy lies in the burden of his life. Too heavy, his tragedy is that revenge swallows everything he has, he could have brought a glorious era to Brittania as an excellent knight."

"Now that poisonous snake is dead." After listening to the discussion between Ryan and François, the Red Dragon Duke only sighed: "Let's change the subject, Ryan, then you intend to regain Moussilon. Then do you succeed?"

"Can't be so fast." Speaking of this topic, Ryan cheered up and said in a deep voice: "Even if Moussilon is defeated, I will need at least two to three years of buffering time before considering succession to the throne."

"Why?!" Berhemond was strange: "Didn't you always want to be a knight king?"

Ryan and François looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

"Boss, don't forget, Ryan wants to be the king of Duke Moussilon." Francois voluntarily explained: "But now the entire Moussilon is blank, and I don't know if there is anything left. With a population of less than 100,000, reconstruction is a huge project. Many complicated things have to wait for Lion to deal with. If he does not lay a good foundation for his territory and resume production, he will rush to ascend the throne. Even if he becomes the king, Ryan will not be able to sit on the throne. ."

Lao Zhangren's words are exactly what Ryan is considering.

It's not that when Ryan really becomes the king, he can take the opportunity to order the entire kingdom. François discussed this with him.

Power is down, not up. It is never a throne that can command the entire kingdom at will, but after winning the support of everyone, sitting on the throne can better serve the people.

Ryan wants to be a king who can truly command the entire kingdom. He must lay a solid foundation for himself. He must reproduce the glory of Musilon in the past. He must have an elite army, sufficient wealth and his own. Retainer regiment, but now he doesn't have any.

The Earl of Glamorgan is indeed rich, and Ryan's army is indeed elite, but the size is still too small.

This son-in-law knows his own situation very well, and he also has his own long-term blueprint. François is very satisfied with this. Marrying Sulia to Ryan has always been his proud work, and now this Contentment continues to increase as Ryan continues to grow.

My daughter, you are now a duchess. François couldn’t help feeling proud, and this pride also appeared on his face. After seeing each other, Bohemond and Veronica had different thoughts, and they were all cold. Snorted.

Thinking of his daughter, François also asked with concern: "When Moussilon is recovered, will you move Sulia to Moussilon?"

"Not for the time being." Ryan immediately shook his head. He said seriously: "I have to wait at least one or two years, until Su Liya's production and recuperation is over, and then when the corruption of Musilon has faded, I will consider them mother and child. Moving to Musilon, or in the future, I may set up the capital of the principality in Jean, it depends on the situation."

"Yeah." François was quite satisfied with Ryan's attitude. Although Ryan had a lot of women, he really loved Suria very much. From his daughter, he felt that this political marriage was very happy. The eldest son is already there, and the overall situation is settled.

"François, Your Excellency Bohemond, I inherited Landuin's Principality of Moussilon, not the Principality of Connaught after the vassalization." Ryan also raised this issue by the way.

"Are you going to retrieve the old Mousillon collar south of Lyonace?" Francois immediately realized Ryan's plan.

"That should belong to me, and it only belongs to me." Ryan said seriously: "I hope you can support me."

"Now take back the old collar of Mousillon...it is a good time." François frowned, and the old father-in-law was naturally on Len's side: "The knights and nobles in the south of Lyonace have chosen to be loyal to you. , And you have Randuin’s inheritance and powerful strength. They dare not complain about how these knights and nobles who have been traitors arrange for them. As for Leonasai... there is nothing left but a ruin in the north. The number of knights on the list is now less than eight hundred. The Duke of Aldelaide is dead. Richard has sent people to find the Duke of Dalheide, who is on the expedition to redeem. Although some are not very good, now is indeed the best time to take back the old collar. , It depends on what you think."

"We should talk about it." Ryan said with discretion: "Food support, assistance in quelling the riots, and rebuilding the homeland?"

"Well, it is estimated that you will have to give some monetary compensation appropriately. Once these conditions are opened, it is very difficult for the nobles of Lyonace to refuse." François also felt tricky: "But how to get it back? , This will be a difficult process, wait for you to regain all the territories of Moussilon! As for the old Musilon nobles, there are precedents of Karon Fort for allegiance to you."

François is talking about Fort Calron under the Midden of the Empire. This castle belongs to the Midden and is the territory of the Elector of the White Wolf. There is also the Elector’s Palace inside, but the nobles of Calon The emperor Karl-Franz under Rick's allegiance, the most famous Kronborg Swords regiment in the old world was subordinate to Emperor Karl-Franz instead of Elector Boris-Toddbringer.

Just as Ryan and François were discussing what to do, a young attendant walked into the room, he whispered a few words in the ear of Duke Berhemond, and then retired respectfully.

"Let me interrupt, Ryan, François, we have a new problem." Bohemond muttered, and he seemed to be stumped by the problem.

"What's the problem?" François knew that what embarrassed Bohemond must be a major problem.

"Raun is back. He was sent back to Kurona by his mount, Hippogryph Bequis. He is now seriously injured, has a high fever, and is confused."

"What should we do with Raun now? The viper Matthew Bard's father, the Kingdom Regent, the Duke of Connet, the lady's champion, and the noble Holy Grail knight, one of the first twelve Holy Grail knights, Cariod-Brave The last bloodline of the person?"

Now Ryan and François also felt embarrassed.

"perhaps……"
