Warhammer Throne

At this time, Earl Doolin and Earl Larott were sitting in the first floor of the holy grail tribute, tasting the famous red wine Latour from Winford. https://

These two earls are already in their 50s and 60s. They are not holy grail knights, but they all have experience in holy grail expeditions, and they are also legendary powerhouses. They can best represent the old ones in the south of Lyon Musilon nobles.

After complicated negotiations, the newly appointed Duke of Lyonasse, Adehad, agreed to cede Moussilon’s old collar in exchange for a sum of 10,000 kroner to help suppress the rebellion and provide food support. Now the cessation contract has been nailed down. Now, the two nobles of Musilon can not wait to come to Jean, want to meet the real Duke of Musilon, Ryan Macado to discuss how to merge.

After Lion had the most orthodox legal claim to Moussilon, these old nobles of Moussilon took it for granted that they should belong to the rule of Lion. Similarly, the predicament that Lyonasse faces now is already known to the old world. This The group of old Mu Xilong nobles managed to retain a bit of strength and naturally did not want to? Muddy waters, they would come and it was quite normal.

Unfortunately, when they first came to the Duke’s Castle, they touched a nail. Duke Lane is said to meet them at night, but the temporary notice was changed to tomorrow.

Let's change it. The key is a maid's order to come out. It is neither a close attendant under Ryan nor his courtier, but just an insignificant maid in his castle!

The meaning of contempt was very obvious. The two earls could only leave in a desperate manner and came to stay in the hotel in the city. They stayed in the room uncomfortable, and simply came to this famous pub to sit in the holy grail praise. Have a drink and discuss the current predicament by the way.

Earl Doolin’s facial features are as sharp as a sword and an axe. He is also a knight of a hundred battles. He has experienced many wars in his sixty years of career, including the invasion of Lyonasse by Red-Eyed Egil. In that battle, Earl Doolin’s army also suffered more than half of the casualties, which directly caused him to no longer respond to the call of the Duke of Lyonasse. No matter how Aldrelard, Duke of Lyonasse wrote and pleaded, he refused. Send troops again.

In contrast, the Earl of Larote would be "creamy". The 50-something Earl looked more refined. He had long brown wavy hair, sprayed with perfume, small eyes, big nose, and shirt cuffs. It’s still lace, but it’s a big mistake to think of him as a nobleman with little combat effectiveness. The ornately decorated knight sword in his hand also drank the enemy’s blood in the face of the red-eyed Egil and the subsequent suppression of the serf rebellion. He even killed the Beastman and Beastmaster and the big green-skinned man.

Unlike the empire, there are no great nobles in Brittany who have never been to the battlefield.

"You said, why didn't the Duke see us?" Earl Doolin said distressedly. "We came with sincerity, but not only did we not see the Duke, but we also did not see the Duke’s butler, Mr. Katzenberg. Or Ms. Silvia, the maid chief!"

During the period when Ryan was absent, Silvia and Katzenberg were usually in charge in the territory. It was a recognized rule in the territory to find these two people if they wanted to do something or see Duchess Sulia.

"Is Lord Ryan in the castle?" Count Larott was also confused.

"According to the news we inquired about, he must be there." Earl Doolin nodded.

"There is no doubt that I suddenly told us that something happened and chose not to see us. This must be the new duke who wants to give us a bitter taste." Earl Larott tasted the snacks reluctantly. "You know, Doolin, let's stand." Wrong team."

Speaking of this matter, even the experienced Earl Doolin can only sigh.

Who made them believe in Mathieubad, thinking that Mathieubad is the real Duke of Moussilon, so that when Mathieubad went north, these old nobles of Mousillon chose to follow him when their brains became hot. ? Moreover, it was confirmed that Mathieubad was indeed the illegitimate son of the Kingdom Regent Raun, and there was a weak claim.

But in fact, both the Earl of Doolin and the Earl of Larote knew that even if there was no such thing as Mathieubad, they and Lyonnaise would be close to each other. The two sides had accumulated a lot of contradictions, and the Red-Eyed Egil invaded. Later, in order to reduce their losses, the Lyonese aristocrats in the north chose to pass the loss on to them, and doubled their plunder and encroachment on their manor. It is not surprising that these old Musilon aristocrats would make this choice after being marginalized.

However, these are not the reasons for them to take refuge in the thieves of Mathieubad. Even though before Corona, the Earl of Doolin and Earl of Larott, who knew the generality, jumped back after seeing the indestructible lake, they betrayed. 'S behavior is still unforgivable, which makes them automatically short when facing Ryan, and even more guilty.

"What do you do now? Meet tomorrow?" Earl Doolin felt a headache, he could only whisper, "I always feel something is wrong."

"The key is that Duke Lane is surrounded by those Winford people!" Earl Larott whispered dissatisfiedly, "I'm worried..."

"Your Excellency Earl Doolin, Your Excellency Earl Larote!" A cold and solemn female voice interrupted their whispers, and the two earls struck a sharp spirit and raised their heads "Ms. Silvia?!"

How could the maid appear here? !

"Ryan is upstairs, and he invites you to speak up." Silvia's face was not very good, she said with a stern face, which made the two earls very uneasy, Du Linhe What Larott didn't know was that the reason why the maid was upset was that the date of the two good people was interrupted again, and the strange feeling disappeared.

Soon, Doulin and Larote sat opposite Ryan. The maid wanted to stand beside Ryan to serve, but Ryan directly stretched out his hand and pulled her to his side and sat down "bonir! The two from Lyonasse," Welcome to Gene."

"Hello, my Duke!" The two earls paid their respects at the same time with a knightly. They really didn't expect Ryan to see them in the bar. "I didn't expect that we would see you here."

"I happened to encounter something in the evening, and I need some time to deal with it. I don't think it would be good for you to wait for a long time, so I postponed it until tomorrow because of my poor hospitality. Please forgive me."

"No, no, no! Your Excellency Ryan has a busy schedule, and it was a little abrupt when we came here temporarily." Du Lin said hastily. He was a little confused about Ryan's meaning, and simply emphasized that "Your Excellency Ryan's orthodoxy as the first saint of Landuin The heir is our lord, and we are here to show allegiance and petition to you."

"Allegiance? Allegiance will wait until Adehad and us have completed the cession contract." Ryan was noncommittal about the sincerity of the two old Musilon nobles. There was no expression on the Duke’s face. It must be the real reason you are here, right?"

Doolin and Larott looked at each other. Count Larott first spoke, "We old Musilon nobles want to know, Lord Ryan, what do you expect from us? How do you plan to rule this territory?"

"It's very simple. I basically have three requirements." Ryan nodded, and he said calmly. "You can choose to accept or not, but at your own risk."

"Please say."

"First of all, in my territory, tariffs must be unified, and then I have a table. If it is excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes that exceed this table, they must be abolished immediately. Also, I ask you to change all nine taxes to fixed taxes. The formulation of fixed taxes I will send someone to check, can it be done?" Ryan stretched out his first finger.

"Yes!" This did not surprise the two earls. They had already known about Ryan's reforms. Of course, they chose to support and approve. Although it would cost them some immediate benefits, they did not have any ability to resist. On the contrary, they also eagerly hope that their territory can change like that of Lane.

"Second, regarding the issue of vassals, my request is that my nobles must not start wars with each other. If necessary, they can resort to courts of the principality. The vassals must contribute a small percentage of their income to the principality’s treasury every year. If there are acts of treason and blasphemy, I can withdraw all noble titles and fiefdoms without compensation. If it is for other crimes, it will be referred to the Kingdom Court and the Lake God Sorceress Mogiana for discussion. Those with the most serious crimes will also be deprived of their noble status." Ryan held out his second finger.

Silvia looked at Ryan in quite amazement.

What is Ryan doing? He is challenging the unwritten unwritten rule that nobles will always be nobles!

The two earls hesitated, they opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a while.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry for you to make a decision now." Ryan knew that this was a big challenge to the interests of the existing nobles, and it was almost shaking the foundation of the entire Bretonian noble system!

But as he said, he already has this ability and status, he is the holy grail knight of the sanctuary, and he is the god-chosen champion of the lake fairies! He came with the great prestige of saving the country and restoring Mu Xilong, and now is the best time to set this new rule down!

Here is a spit, if Zhao Guangyi can win the battle of Gaoliang River and the Northern Expedition of Yongxi and recover Yanyun, he can also rely on unparalleled lofty prestige to come back to deal with the over-expanded clique of civil servants, but unfortunately he will not. . )

At this time, if you don't make a big effort, when are you waiting?

The two earls looked very ugly. If they were prepared for the first one, then the second one is really unacceptable!

The knight masters were used to being nobles. Under the feudal system, no matter how hard a serf tried, he would never become a knight, and no matter how far the knight fell, he would still be a noble! Even though there are indeed some knights in history who were declared to be deprived of their knighthood at the Kingdom Knight Conference due to major faults, in the thousand-year history, the Kingdom has held no more than ten knight conferences for this reason! The fact is that the status of a knight is almost unshakable and inalienable. A knight can be executed, but even if he dies, he still retains his noble status!

Count Doolin and Count Larott immediately stated that they needed to discuss.

After Ryan finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair quietly. He waited calmly for the answer from the representative of the old Musilon nobles. He could give them some time to think, if one day is not enough, it will be two days, and if one month is not good, it will be two months. But if it takes too long, then Duke Musilon can only say sorry. There are many people who want to be earls, and his men are no less than these two legendary kingdom knights.

"My Duke, I'll just ask." At this time, Earl Doolin gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you only targeting us, the old Musilon nobles, or are you talking about your subordinates, including the future of the entire knight kingdom? All knights and nobles in the world are treated the same."

"Everyone is treated the same." Ryan's voice was cold.

"So... our answer is yes!" Unexpectedly, the representative of the old Musilon nobles immediately made a decision. "Please tell us the third point, the Duke!"

"Thirdly, the issue of vassal military strength. As my vassal, once I have a request, all vassals can only keep the defense force and a small part of the mobile force, and all the remaining troops must come and join me. Listen to my orders. Then, I have the power to appoint military commanders. If I appoint a military commander, even if his title is lower or equal to yours, you still have to obey his military orders. Can you do it?" Ryan was a little surprised that the two earls agreed so readily, and the Duke tried to keep his expression and voice calm.

"Yes." The two earls can accept the previous one, and there will be no more objections to the following one.

"Very good." Ryan nodded. The first step of this reform is to go out. "Okay, you can tell all the local nobles if you can accept the above three items. If you can accept the above three items, I accept all their allegiance. If you can't accept it, it's very simple. , They can also go to Lyonnais to continue to be their noble knights, but the ceded land belongs to Moussilon, and they can only ask them to find their own fief."

Before he could finish his words, Ryan sneered and said, "If some nobles occupy the land, are unwilling to be loyal to me, and consider themselves as Musilon people and don't want to go to Lyonace, then it will be interesting. There are only these in Brittany. The Principality, since they don’t want to be Lyonese nor Moussilons, then don’t be Bretons at all!"

"What do you think of my proposal?" The Duke's blue eyes stared at the representatives of Moussilon's nobles. Although Ryan's face was still young, his sharp, blade-like eyes brought the two knights together. There was a shiver.

"Yes... some nobles just didn't understand for a while. They still felt that this was an opportunity to expand their autonomy. We must and will persuade them to all be loyal to the Duke." Count Larott took a sip of water, and he hurriedly Said, "It's only a small group of people who don't realize it. Of course, we old Musilon people are willing to follow the Duke."

"I just want rights, don't want to assume obligations, and desire freedom, then I will give them." Ryan nodded. "I always respect personal wishes...Well, it's your turn to ask."

"We need the support of the Duke to quell the rebellion in the territory." Earl Doolin said impatiently. "In addition, we also need food support. We hope that the Duke can send troops to help us control the riot areas as soon as possible. "

"Yes, I will send a team of old guards to lead two serf infantry regiments and a team of dwarf artillery to support you." Ryan agreed, "When the counter-insurgency is over, you will unite and support Lyonnaise together!"

"Yes!"

After discussing the details a little bit, the two earls got up and left with some rejoicing and a little heavy. They will return to their territory and convey Ryan's will.

After the two earls had left, Ryan retreated from the state of majestic duchy. He noticed that his maid maid was still looking at him with some fear, so he smiled "What's the matter? Sylvie? Was frightened? "

"No... just a little scared." The maid's face was not very good, she whispered, "You are like this, it makes people feel a little bit, unlike the husband of the lady."

"Of course it's not the same at home and outside." Ryan smiled, and he leaned back in his chair. "Okay, the date continues!"

"Hey? Go on?" The maid's face turned red again. "Should we go back?"

"No, let's continue." Ryan nodded, and he smiled rather unkindly. "There is a show in the town tonight!"

"A well-known clown artist Persian Water will perform his performance art in the town, let's go see it together!"

"Remember to call protection!"
