Warhammer Throne

On the surface, François was right.

After meeting again in the afternoon, Morjana conveyed the news she got after contacting Ryan.

The king and the lady approved the Obian strategy plan of the northern knight nobles.

At the same time, Ryan also learned from Mogiana that the dukes were very resistant to building a new fortress. The Knight King wondered if he was a bit too hasty. He also said that he should cherish and save the people's resources, but now he has to do a lot of construction. .

No, no, you can't be Yang Guang. Ryan thought that the big battle and the big infrastructure can only be done at the same time, and he has finally laid the foundation for the Knight Kingdom, but don't just overthrow it.

At the same time, Ryan also found that he underestimated the fighting spirit of the northern knights and nobles, and also underestimated the eagerness of Raun as the regent of the kingdom to prove himself.

Raun and the northern nobles were so eager to ask for a battle, so Ryan was embarrassed. After careful consideration, the Knight King decided to agree to Raun's proposal for Orbian's expedition, but made three requirements.

The first is to unite the local Mantra Aboriginals and the empire's garrison in Newland Province there, to find out the local geography and some strange localities in Orbian before starting the war.

The second is that the king of knights asked the northern knights and nobles to organize their own troops and raise supplies, and the war must end before spring ploughing.

Third, Ryan requires that the war must focus on plundering Obian’s resources and destroying the vital power of the barbarians, not too deep inland, and not too fond of fighting.

These three requirements are relatively strict, but the northern knight nobles are very happy to see that the knight king is finally willing to let them go for a big fight. They immediately elected Regent Raun as the coach of the Obien Expeditionary Army. Prepare to organize an expeditionary force of 20,000 to attack Obian.

The distance between Orbion Island and the mainland of Brittany is almost 500 kilometers away. The sailing takes about two weeks to arrive. It is already early December. Spring plowing will begin at the end of March next year, leaving it to the northern nobles. Our time is running out.

For the southern nobles, Ryan asked them to build an immortal fortress on the road from the Black Mountains to Tyrell and the withered swamp.

The Knight King expressed his concern about the Southern Skaven, and the idea of ​​the Knight King has also been recognized by most dukes. Unlike the Empire’s strong denial of the existence of the Skaven, the Bretons are in the wood elves. With the help of Skaven, he clearly knows the existence of Skaven, and there have been many wars between knights and rats in history.

In this way, the national policy of attacking north and defending south was formulated. In addition, Ryan also ordered Mojana and Raun to send more people to investigate the movements of Norsca and the northern barbarians. This kind of action is very dangerous. , But it is necessary.

Time went back a little bit after Morjana discussed with Raun.

"Also, when can you come back?" At the end of the communication, Mojana asked bitterly.

"It will probably take another two months." Ryan whispered to the reflection of the pure water in the jade bowl.

"As soon as possible." There was a little expectation and a little bit of resentment in Mogiana's voice. Her face was reflected in the water, and her expression was quite rich: "I'm not in a hurry to ask you to come back and accompany me. Many things were originally you. You can no longer leave it to Suria, but if you take Suria away this time, it will be difficult for the dukes to make a decision."

you're lying! Ryan looked at Mojianna's sorrowful expression with a black line on her face. The Lake God Witch was cold and arrogant. At the same time, because of her perennial control of power, she was even more cold and unkind. Only when she was with herself, her expression would change. So rich, Ryan knew that Mojianna must have counted the time and expected him to go back.

However, the two sides had an agreement, Ryan was not good to say anything, the king nodded: "Then do this first, be sure to investigate the movement of the barbarians."

After getting a positive reply from Mogiana, Ryan put away the jade bowl and turned off the communication.

Su Liya was sitting next to him. The Queen of Knights listened to the whole question and answer. The graceful female knight was about to say something, but when she saw Ryan stretch out her hands, Su Liya quickly understood what her husband meant, and she smiled softly. Leaning into Ryan's arms: "What's the matter, my husband, what are you upset about again?"

"I'm a bit too nervous." Ryan hugged Su Liya and groped gently on her beautiful long legs wrapped in thick black velvet tights, feeling the silky and delicate hand, Wenxiang Nephrite was in her arms. , Ryan held his wife on his lap: "Too anxious, I almost made a serious mistake."

"Serious mistake, do you mean repairing the fortress?" Su Liya immediately understood what Ryan meant. The queen stretched out a Qianqianyu finger and nodded on Ryan's forehead: "You are so anxious, we just repaired. After connecting the north-south Grand Canal, the Landuin Grand Canal connects the Sandnes River in the north with the Grismore River, the Chinon River and the southernmost Berleon River. This is already an amazing thing. It’s a big project, you should give everyone a break before you think about repairing the fortress."

"Well, I want to be Li Zhi, not Yang Guang." Ryan nodded, and the Knight King knew that he was subconsciously anxious again.

"Who is that?" Su Liya didn't understand.

"That's the story of the two emperors of the ancient Aurora dynasty... let me tell you." Ryan held Su Liya in this way and told the story, and Olica soon came in and became interested. Listen carefully.

After telling a long story to the satisfaction of Su Liya, Ryan motioned to him to go out for a stroll.

Coming out of the king’s suite, Ryan met Talleyrand head-on. The elf nobleman, holding a cane, saw Ryan appear and smiled immediately: "Your Majesty, good morning, I'm very happy to see you here. , Your presence made the sky clearer."

"..." Ryan looked at the cloudy and thunderous sky, wondering if Talleyrand was flattering or mocking: "Mr. Talleyrand, are you still used to living on a battleship?"

"Fortunately, it's better than I live in the cowshed with Charles." Talleyrand made a dangerous joke. He bent down very humbly: "I mean Charles' manor and cows. The shed is similar, not to say that the cowshed is similar to Charles’s manor, Your Majesty."

"You have a special sense of humor." Ryan smiled and nodded. He noticed that Olica came out of the king's suite, and Talleyrand saw Olica like a mouse and a cat. Shaking, her body shivered: "What's the matter, Mr. Talleyrand, is Olica so terrible?"

Does the king know who his maid is? Talleyrand looked at Olica's malicious warning gaze, swallowed, supported the deck forcefully, and smiled and said, "As an Azul, this is no way."

This explanation made sense, and Ryan didn't delve into it.

The three of them walked a few steps along the deck, and Talleyrand responded fluently, and the high elf could always say some humorous wits, even Ryan asked him, "If Finnuba and I fall into the water, you will "Who to save" This deliberately embarrassing question, Talleyrand answered very humorously and wittily: "Your Majesty, you are so great, you can definitely swim!"

After strolling for a while, an injured old guard walked in front of three people. He was on crutches like Talleyrand. Ryan recognized him. He was called Yves, an old guard from Montfort. In the previous great dragon fjord battle, he was concentrated by the spatter of undead artillery, breaking his leg, breaking his bones, and severely injured.

Thanks to the high elves’ excellent medicines and super-high medical standards, the old guards like Yves were originally forced to retire, but now he only needs to recuperate for three months and wait for the bones to grow before he can return to the battlefield. .

In this regard alone, the large quantities of drugs given by the high elves allowed Lion to earn back all the costs during this trip to Osuan, not to mention that the Safri Kingdom was willing to partner with Lion to open a hospital in Moussilon.

"Your Majesty, look, Mr. Soldier, he is lame, but he is very strong physically and mentally." Talleyrand pointed to Yves humorously, and then pointed to himself: "But, your Majesty, I am from dozens of I knew years ago that I was a lame man. Not only did I have a lame leg, but I was also lame physically and mentally."

"Anyone can stand up and face everything about himself." Ryan carried his hands on his back, and the majesty of the knight king almost overflowed: "Physical disability is not a reason, Talleyrand, I believe you can be elsewhere. Find your place."

"But it's definitely not in Osu'an." Talleyrand shook his head: "As long as I'm in Osu'an, I'm a lame, in any sense."

High-precision people like handsome men and beautiful women. Even Targris was discriminated against when he was young. Not to mention the lack of strength, the handsome and shabby dress, and the physically disabled Talleyrand. Ryan nodded secretly. Discrimination was true. everywhere.

"But in the old world, in the human world, I, Talleyrand, is a sound person. I am not only a sound person, but I am also superior!" Talleyrand continued to laugh at himself: "Humans are accustomed to the elegance and wisdom of elves. There is also longevity, so I think of the old world. I can’t solve my mental disability, but I can change the environment, half a head can become a half tall, something called Talleyrand finally finds someone who can get along with each other on an equal footing. A good deal."

This man is really smart! Ryan's face remained silent.

"Talerand?"

"I am here, my majesty."

"Would you like to be my foreign minister to Noor?"

"It's an honor and great pleasure."

…………I am the dividing line of smart people…………

A few months passed in a flash. With the arrival of the spring of 2514 in the imperial calendar and the return of His Majesty the Knight King Ryan, Brittany also ushered in the most glorious era in its history.

This era was called the "golden age" by all historians and writers of later generations.

Politically, the great Knight King "Unifier" Ryan Macado continued to deepen the reforms of Brittany. He further restricted the privileges of the great aristocracy, eased the contradiction between the serf class and the knight class, and cancelled a large number of exorbitant taxes and taxes. , The light and small gifts, greatly improved the living standards of Bretonians.

In terms of personnel, the bureaucracy that Ryan had been brewing for many years finally began to appear in Brittany. With the assistance of several major churches and nobles, itinerant courts and officials began to appear. Most of them consisted of ambitious homesteaders, workers, After the fallen aristocrats and small merchants were trained by the church, the legal interpretation and arbitration rights of local aristocratic lords or village elders and village elders were taken back.

At the same time, Ryan began to amend the laws of Brittany to protect the interests of emerging freedmen and homesteaders, restrict the privileges of the nobility and restrict their exploitation of the serfs in the conservancy, and Ryan officially wrote that “incompetence is a crime”. Into the law, since then, there are only two choices for the wastes who cannot train qualified knights within four generations. One is to be confiscated and become free people, and the other is to participate in the Arabi expedition.

Economically, the fairy in the lake dropped a super blockbuster.

After a lapse of thousands of years, the Lake Fairy Church officially announced a tax reduction, and the church tithe will be changed from ten tax one to fifteen tax one.

Don't underestimate these few percentage points. The Lake Fairy Church has given up as much as hundreds of thousands of gold crowns of income on this item alone.

All the people all over the country knelt and thanked the goddess. Many serfs shed tears until dawn and continued to bow down. Thanks to the goddess for the gift, the fanatical belief in the fairies in the lake reached a new height.

In terms of military affairs, the Orbion Expeditionary Force led by Raun won a great victory in the Orbion Expedition.

In mid-January 2514, the Orbion Expeditionary Army of 25,000 people formed by the Northern Knights was escorted by the Poseidon Fleet and Le Angouran Fleet on the Orbion Island. Their opponent was North. The Karman tribe "Vanaheim Lin", this is a group of more than ten thousand barbarian warriors and hundreds of chaos warriors, thousands of chaos predators cavalry, there are more than a dozen marsh monsters of the war gang and many chaos giants beast.

Yes, in the imagination, the enemy should have such a large scale, but the northern knights and nobles soon discovered that the resistance of the Vanaheimlin tribe was much weaker than imagined.

The first battle was the battle of Demon Island. In this battle, Laun and others were fully prepared for a tough battle, but the expedition army soon discovered that the defenders of Demon Island had only a few barbarian predators. , Plus barbarian predator riders with no more than a hundred people and predator throwers with less than two hundred people.

This is a joke to the expeditionary army, which has a total of more than 25,000 and has purchased a large number of firearms from the Musilon factory.

At first, Raun thought that the cunning Norsca might believe in the Eagle God, so he marched cautiously, and when he rushed into the core area of ​​the barbarian settlement, he met only a dozen barbarian champion warriors. .

That's it?

Lawn personally led a group of holy grail knights to slaughter more than a dozen barbarian champion warriors.

Immediately afterwards, the Orbion Expeditionary Army began its own journey of justice. For some reason, there are very few barbarian tribes on the island, and almost all of them are left with the most basic defense forces, even those legendary. Chaos Warriors and Chaos Champions have disappeared.

No one understands why, but there is no doubt that this is a godsend. Since then, the Orion Expeditionary Army has been plentiful, especially the various magical ores and the gold and silver rich Orion Island plundered unimaginable. With abundant supplies, as the Orbien expedition progressed, almost all the ships capable of ocean-going and cargo-carrying in Bretania went to Orbien to "pull cargo."

Even so, it was pulled back and forth three times.

Several consecutive victories made the Orbian Expeditionary Army a little erratic. Fortunately, Lao Enshang was able to restrain his subordinates, but even as the commander and regent, he could not suppress the knight nobles and serfs under his command who wanted to go to Orbian Island. The requirement to advance in the depths.

The Count of Clement led more than two thousand troops deep into the vicinity of Conquata in the interior of Aubion, hoping to obtain more trophies.

Then, the entire army, along with hundreds of ranger knights, lost track, and more than two thousand people seemed to have completely evaporated from the thick fog of Orbien.

Lawn personally led a carefully selected elite army of more than 3,000 expeditions, and cooperated with the spells of the Lake God Prophet and the large magic scroll obtained on credit from Morjana and Veronica, and went deep into the depths of Obian. , Looking for traces of the army of two thousand people.

They only found a few horrible scenes of large-scale chaos sacrificial rituals. On the spot, dozens of people went crazy and their sanity was reduced to zero. Raun immediately ordered a retreat, but the army was still attacked by a large group of chaos demons. Fortunately, chaos demons could not exist for a long time. Yu Fanshi, together with the elites led by Raun, left more than 300 corpses and prayed for the guidance of the goddess, Raun led an army to successfully withdraw from the dense fog in the depths of Orbian Island.

The regent of the kingdom resisted the fear in his heart, and he announced to everyone that he was about to win the class, and he was ready to end the Great Expedition for Orbien.

At the same time, Raun's heart became more strange and wary about what the northern barbarians were planning.

"You must immediately inform His Majesty Ryan and His Majesty Morjana about the discovery in the depths of Obian!"

"What the **** are the barbarians doing?"
