Warhammer Throne

good news? Ryan frowned slightly, thinking in his heart what good news could the fairy in the lake tell him?

Su Liya also looked at the fairy in the lake. The female knight had been with the goddess for a long time. She could feel that the goddess' emotions were a bit complicated, but on the whole she was happy about it.

"Yeah." The happy mood of the fairy in the lake only lasted for a short while. The expression on her face fluctuated slightly. She seemed to sigh and helpless. The goddess flew around in the room and took the iris on her body. After the floral scent and spilled in the bedroom in the afternoon, he said slowly: "Lyonase agreed."

"Agree?" Ryan repeated this sentence. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed Su Liya's shoulder, motioning his wife not to get up.

Duke Moussilon thought about it a little bit, and immediately understood something.

The air conditioner in the room was turned on, and Ryan was standing in front of the window. He squeezed his chin: "This is... whose decision? Dalheide?"

"It's Baron Adehad, he will soon become the Duke of Lyonnais." The fairy in the lake sighed, the goddess turned around in the air, and instead sat next to Sulia, the goddess' tone Inexplicable feelings: "After many searches, the family of the Duke of Lyonasse decided that they could not wait any longer. They decided to support Dahlheide’s nephew, Aldreid’s cousin, that is, Baron Adehad. With Richard’s permission, Baron Adehad is about to be crowned Duke of Lyonasse Long’s old collar problem."

Ryan nodded. He stood in front of the window, thinking about a series of things. Duke Musilon raised his head. He suddenly smiled: "Heh, Madam, Su Liya, you said that once this resolution is passed, the nobles of the kingdom What do you think of me? A despicable thief who couldn't wait to feast on his corpse when the duke had just died?"

"Ryan, don't say this to yourself, you are a valid reason." Su Liya sat on the bedside. Due to her physical condition, the female knight could not get up, so she could only comfort Ryan softly: "At present, you are facing Mu Xi Long’s old collar has a legitimate claim, and Lyonnaise also has it. Therefore, how to return to this territory, if you abide by the rules, then Lyonnaise will also act within the framework. You don’t have to worry about being accused of you."

"Heh~" Ryan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He shrugged his shoulders, the expression on his face was always calm: "Then, my lady, what offer did Adehad offer?"

"Assist in suppressing the rebellion, enough food for three months, accommodate part of the population, and a sum of money." The fairy in the lake simply said: "A sum of enough money, Baron Adehad's expectation for this is 10,000 yuan. Five thousand gold crowns."

The first two are good, Ryan didn't say much, but when Adehad actually asked for fifteen thousand gold crowns, the Duke's expression changed.

"Fifteen thousand gold crowns? Humph!" Ryan's face was cold, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "If you have the ability, keep that piece of land. Does Adehad think he is very capable? If I don’t give it, he doesn’t have to cede Mousillon’s old collar? What does he think he can do? Let Lyonnaise go back to the glorious years of having close to 10,000 knights?!"

"Ryan!" After hearing her husband's words, Su Liya wanted to laugh a little, and her tone was a little bit irritating: "Don't talk like that, it will scare the children!"

"Sorry, ma'am!" Ryan quickly sat down in front of the bed and gently held the female knight's small hand to apologize. The Duke was gentle and considerate to himself, and Grace Erya's wife had nothing to do, so he quickly apologized.

The fairy in the lake was sitting on the bed. The goddess was a little happy and a little upset seeing the relationship between Ryan and his wife. She stretched out her hand and squeezed Ryan's face: "Adehad is also helpless. He will do this. The choice is not strange, am I right? My champion?"

"Helpless ass!" Ryan sneered, and he immediately stood up: "Baron Adehad knows very well that since he can't keep it, it's better to use this as a threat and ask for something more, wanting to get something out of me. A lot of money will come to make up for his bottomless financial abyss. I understand that he is eager to ask for money, but fifteen thousand gold crowns?"

"... But that is Silluv's Leona Séel, Ryan." After hearing this, the fairy in the lake did not accuse Ryan. The goddess is not happy or sad. She seems to remember something: "Silrof and Randu Because, a sad elegy of fate, you are the one who inherited Landuin's will and last wish, Ryan Macado."

Ryan's gaze condensed, and the Duke's eyes suddenly changed from mockery to sadness. He sighed: "Yes, I am the one who inherited Landuin's will. Landuin never forgets the last thing before completely disappearing. It's the matter between him and Sirruf. From this point of view alone, I can't push Lyonace too much."

At this point, Ryan laughed again. He smiled and said: "Actually, Adehad is very smart. At this time, if he is an idiot, he must be shouting that this part of Mousillon’s old collar is Leona. Sai is a sacred and inseparable part, and he will not cede and accept my request, but Adehad is a sensible man. He knows too well what he needs most as the new Duke of Lyonese, and Lyonese What is the key question."

There was silence in the room.

Ryan was speechless, and the fairy in the lake seemed to be remembering something.

After a long time, someone decided to speak.

"Shake the burden." Su Liya finally spoke. The female knight gently signaled that she was going to get up. The fairy in the lake immediately supported her, and the female knight said softly: "This is a burden, a heavy burden, in this era. Everyone must carry forward with heavy burdens, but Lyonasse’s burden is too heavy, it is too heavy. Baron Adehad knows that the best way for him is to refuse to take over as Duke."

"But he accepted." The fairy in the lake's expression became more and more sad: "Any mortal is not a stone without feelings. Personal interests are one thing, and the interests of the principality are another thing. Adehad stepped forward. , He knew that he had to be careful and careful to take over this heavy duke's title. This duke title was like a piece of extremely fragile glass. As long as there was a little carelessness, Lyonnaise would break into pieces before he took over. "

"Therefore, he must take off as much baggage as possible." Su Liya straightened her stomach, and the female knight was wearing a loose white silk long dress. She slowly came to Ryan's side, and the female knight showed a warm smile on her face. , Sternly said: "Mu Xilong's old collar is one of the heavy burdens, and at this time, if someone wants this burden, just give it to him! By the way, see what you can get."

Ryan sighed and nodded. Even if she was pregnant, even if she stayed in the fairy tower in the lake for a long time to raise her baby, Sulia's political wisdom and political sensitivity were still outstanding. It could even be said that the whole Few duchess in the kingdom possess her wisdom.

Why is Moussilon’s old collar a heavy burden, and Adehad must get rid of it?

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly, Ryan directly looks at it from three aspects.

In terms of economy, judging from the current situation in the Principality of Lyonasse, those places are now unable to collect a penny of tax. Not only will the old collar of Mousillon not help the Principality of Lyonasse in serious difficulties, Instead, a lot of food relief is needed.

The same goes for the military. How many registered knights are there now in Lyonace? Less than eight hundred! These knights are already very reluctant to protect the castle of Lyonasse and its surrounding area, but what is the situation in that principality now? Rebellion everywhere! Serfs set off against the flag and occupied the mountain as king, and the Nosca pirates attacked the coast sporadically, but Lyonnais had no soldiers! No food! If we now throw away the burden of the south of Lyonace, the knights of the principality will be able to concentrate all their energy on the northward defense. In addition, Ryan will send troops, and the military pressure will be directly reduced by 60%.

As for the issue of nobility, let alone more. After the Battle of Courona, in the entire south of Lyonnais, the former Mousillon nobles who were formerly led by Mousillon have long been loyal to Ryan, as Randuin’s The successors, the proclaimers of the orthodox de jure of the Duke of Musilon and the people who restored Musilon, who are they loyal to Ryan if they don’t?

Now those castles have all erected the Moussilon coat of arms with black irises on a yellow background.

What else can Adehad do?

"This is the human heart! This is the hope!" Su Liya said toward Ryan with some pride: "Ryan, Adehard knows that even if he leaves the old collar of Mu Xilong, he will not be able to receive a grain. If you can't get a copper coin and can't mobilize a knight, what's the use of keeping it?"

This is her man. Today, Ryan has stood proudly on top of the Knight Kingdom!

"So... fifteen thousand gold crowns." Ryan nodded, he thought for a while, and smiled bitterly: "This is doing addition, doing subtraction. Throw this burden over, I must catch it, and he reduces the burden. This is Do subtraction. I still have to compensate him, including sending troops, including food support, and a large amount of cash. This is doing addition. Adehad is really smart. I have to agree because I want this. The richness of this land has been proven countless times."

"Before the Great Depression, Mu Xilong was known as the country of a thousand lakes." The fairy in the lake smiled and said: "The richest piece of land is the land. As long as you manage it for a few years, you will definitely be able to recover more benefits. of."

"Okay, let Adehad send someone." Ryan finally nodded, and he said seriously: "Everything has to be discussed before we talk about it, money is not so easy to get!"

After all, to cut off nearly half of the site from Lyonnais, the compensation is still necessary, but Ryan also knows that it is so easy to agree that it is easy to be taken as a fool, and the necessary negotiations are still indispensable.

Ryan pulled a chair, gently picked Sulia up and sat down together. He put his arms around his wife’s waist and smiled: "Madam, you don’t have to think about so many things. Your most important task recently is to take good care of you. Raise yourself well."

"Ryan~What are you doing! The lady is still there!" Su Liya blushed immediately after being hugged on her knees, she said angrily: "Don't be like this."

"Su Liya is pregnant now, you should pay attention to Ryan!" Sure enough, the fairy in the lake also took the opportunity to attack Ryan, and the goddess stretched out her fist and struck Ryan on the shoulder: "Don't do bad things!"

"Hahaha~" Ryan smiled bitterly on his face, he gently hugged Su Liya and let her lean on his chest, but he was thinking about his own power in his heart.

Now, he is the Duke of Moussilon, he controls an entire duchy, and in a few years he will become king.

Being able to do this within ten years is inseparable from his political marriage with Su Liya.

Before getting married, Ryan was always considered an outsider.

And by marrying Suria, Ryan took advantage of the situation to complete the "localization" of his regime. Now, no Bretons think he is an outsider.

At this time, an heir is extremely important to his regime. This means that his regime has continuity. Even if Ryan now explodes in place and spirals to the sky, his regime will not collapse because of this. The knights under his command Will immediately support the child in Su Liya's belly as the next leader.

This is called the stability and continuity of the regime.

In Ryan's previous life, he had also seen the story of Yongan Tuogu, and he was still so touched at the time.

But now, after he really became a duke and established his own power, Ryan went back to think, in that case, under the premise of having an orthodox heir, is it impossible to entrust the country?

The answer is no! Can! can!

But looking back, Ryan also knows that there are still many problems with the internal affairs system he has established, including inefficient manor management, including low cohesion and low mobilization under the enfeoffment system. The current combat effectiveness is strong and extremely high. Cohesion is achieved by Ryan's surging personal prestige and his unparalleled personal bravery, one after another brilliant victory.

If Ryan himself is left behind, what about this regime?

Eastern Han Dynasty model.

What is the Eastern Han Dynasty model?

The relatives are in power.

Therefore, from this point of view alone, it is impossible for Ryan to divorce Sulia. If he wants to divorce, the knights under his command will not agree, and the nobles of the knight kingdom will not agree, the fairy of the lake. If he doesn't agree, his brothers don't agree, and even the emperor himself won't agree!

From this point of view alone, this is another big game of his father! The emperor has seen all this clearly earlier than Ryan. He will meet Suria in person and give her the title of "Imperial Princess". One of the very important parts is to tell Ryan that you should not consider it under any circumstances. divorce!

"Ryan?"

Fortunately, Su Liya is a real good match to Ryan. The female knight and him get along with him inside and outside, and they have a good relationship. They have children, and Ryan has no idea of ​​divorce at all.

But this does not mean that Ryan does not need to change.

With his pregnant wife in his arms, Ryan thought quietly that he would take this opportunity to take advantage of the development of the new land of Mu Xilong and the arrival of a large number of Mu Xilong nobles, he was about to start his own plan.

"Ryan? Ryan?" Su Liya keenly felt the change in Ryan's mood, and the female knight said softly: "What's the matter? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how to develop and rebuild the land of Musilon in the future." Ryan returned to his senses, and he smiled at the female knight: "Suria, you said I took the city of Musilon. How about transforming it into a city belt composed of commerce and industry?"

"Of course you can!" Su Liya immediately agreed. The female knight never objected to her husband's major decisions: "It just so happens that there is now a blank area. We can do whatever we want. Now we will establish an industrial zone and proceed. Innovation is the best time!"

"Hahaha~" Ryan's heart warmed, and he hugged Su Liya tightly: "Thank you, Su Liya, I don't think I can leave you anymore."

"Ryan~" In Su Liya's sea-blue eyes, the light of wisdom flashed by. The female knight leaned on Ryan's shoulder, her face full of happiness: "I don't want to leave you either."

The husband and wife showed their affection and finally made the onlookers look down. The fairy in the lake stood up angrily: "You two are enough! Okay, don’t get tired of being together. It’s tea time, let’s be together. Go cool in the garden and enjoy afternoon tea! Su Liya also needs to exercise properly!"

"Um!"

At the same time, the old world, the empire, the Rick collar, the capital of the empire Brunswick, the imperial palace.

Emperor Karl-Franz, Rick Field Marshal Kurt Helberg, Emperor's flag officer Ludwig Schwarzhammer, Archbishop of the Church of Justice Vikmar-Resolute, Great Alchemist Bersha Ze Geert, Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of Griffin, and Boris Toddbringer, Elector of the White Wolf, are meeting with the most powerful people in the empire.

And the protagonist they are talking about has just completed the mission of restoring Mousillon, becoming the new Duke of Mousillon, Ryan Macado, who is about to become the king of knights!
