Proof of the Sun King

Talleyrand's words were filled with exclamations and doubts in the conference room.

isn't it? Wasn't it said earlier that the Empire had won a decisive victory at Huffwinden in Ostermark? Didn't Chaos lose 150,000 people? Now, where did the three-way army of at least 300,000 people suddenly advance in parallel?

Well, even if Chaos gives you Martian soldiers and super soldiers all day long, right? Bretons are used to this, but what about the Empire? What about Kaiser Karl Franz? What about the 100,000-strong main force of the empire?

Just watching the three-way chaotic army push directly into the empire?

What is Kaiser Karl Franz doing?

Regent of Brittany, Marshal Laune Leo Cornwall, who has just completed the reconstruction of the south and the establishment of the Carcassonne defense system, the Duke of Brittany returned to Mousillon the day before yesterday, and he looks in good spirits. But most people could feel his fatigue. Raun really didn't understand why the Empire didn't respond to this at all. He simply asked directly: "What are the people of the Empire doing? Talleyrand, your news is true. Is it?"

"It's true, Your Excellency." Talleyrand was also a little tired. The lame man had been running very seriously and laboriously. He took out a letter from his arms. It was Shure, the Grand Duke of Marienburg. Z's letter, which detailed that the three Chaos armies are slowly approaching. Among them, Nord's Chaos Army and Ostermark's Chaos Army are moving slowly, but the Empire is unable to organize a decent resistance at all, allowing Chaos to go all the way. Flat push.

What really threatened Marienburg was the Nurgle dragonfleet from Norsca. Thousands of dragonships were led by three Nurgle gods named "The Three Brothers of Grote". From the Sea of ​​Claws along the Westland coast towards Marienburg.

As the commercial center of the old world and the largest deep-water port in the import and export trading center, Marienburg naturally has its own news channels, and as the Grand Duke of Marienburg, Schultz also has his own private news channels.

During the meeting, everyone was silent for a while, and many people looked at Aurora and Teresa, the heads of MI7.

Teresa looked away unnaturally. The sorceress had been busy practicing for a while and wanted to break through to the middle level of the sanctuary. She herself was not very good at doing this, she was considered an academic ice witch.

"Don't look at me, the news I got is the official news of the empire, and my information channel has also confirmed it once." Aurora quickly came out to relieve the siege. She glanced at Ryan and seemed to have no intention of protecting their mother and daughter. Hate, and simply put it up: "Lord Lawn, do you think there is a problem with the official news of the empire, or do you think it is our MI7, who was personally appointed by His Majesty?"

"I didn't mean that." Naturally, Lawn couldn't be fooled by Aurora, and the Regent of Britannia frowned: "If you listen to the side, you will be dark. I don't think Ms. Aurora's intelligence is enough. It must be wrong, but we need to consider the sources and analyze it in multiple ways."

"I agree with Raun." Ryan's father-in-law, François, also glanced at Ryan, who was thinking. Seeing that the King of Knights really didn't mean to speak, he simply said: "I personally think the current news. , If the empire really won a big victory, then why did Chaos still have three-way troops continue to move south, why the imperial government did not respond to this, why...Emperor Karl Franz and his hundreds of thousands of imperial main forces are still a little bit so far No news?"

"Is it possible that the empire won a tragic victory?" Callard spoke. The hero of ten thousand people, Callard, whose reputation has spread all over the world, does not speak. Once he speaks, he is often very direct: "Both sides have suffered huge losses?"

"There is no reason for the loss to be huge, and there is no reason to be unresponsive," said the first marshal, the Duke of Red Dragon, Berhemond.

Yesterday, he clearly asked the head maid Sylvia to ask for leave because he had something to do. He said he would not come this morning, but he didn't know why he showed up on time, but when he saw the young Holy Grail Knight standing behind him, everyone present was already there. understand what.

Standing behind the Duke of Berhemonde is his great-grandson, the latest rising star of the Red Dragon family, Lingard de Bastogne, a 28-year-old Knight of the Holy Grail.

This guy was born in Bastogne. As the beloved great-grandson of the Duke of Berhemonde, Lingard grew up in a very favourable environment since he was a child. Entering the Brotherhood of the Red Dragon Knights, he will serve as a squire for the Holy Grail Knights, participate in training as a reserve, and often find time to personally instruct him in riding and swordsmanship.

However, since he entered the Brotherhood of the Red Dragon Knights, he will serve as a servant for the Holy Grail Knights, and after accompanying him into battle, Lingard immediately became completely devoid of spiritual energy. Not only was he in a hurry, he also made various mistakes. There is nothing to say about the field security battle and patrol battle, and the state is still extremely sluggish.

After Bethmond reprimanded him many times, Lingard not only did not change in the slightest, but also became more and more clumsy. The Duke of Red Dragon was finally disappointed with his great-grandson, but he did not commit any big mistakes and was not punishable. Beheimund finally sent Lingard to the third guard in the badlands. On the one hand, he left him to fend for himself, and on the other hand, he also had the idea of ​​​​seeing it again.

As a result, no one expected that Lingard's performance was turned upside down when he was sent to the third guard in the badlands. After 8 years of the third guard in the badlands, Lingard had a second spring. He was in the Varyag Guard in Lucian. He found his place in the middle of nowhere. In the bad land, he broke free from the shackles of his family and the high hopes of countless people. He found Lingard, who belongs to his own free world, and completed his transformation. In 8 years, he killed 2 Sri Lankans. Warlord Karvin, 1 Grey Prophet, 3 Engineer Warlocks or Plague Priests, kill 2 Green Goblin Warlords and 1 Orc Warlord.

Of course, the most eye-catching performance was the letter from the Eight Peaks. When Belgar asked who was willing to undertake the task of delivering the letter, Lingard and a mustache ranger Ghent-Star Axe took over the task.

In four months, with more than 100 encounters before and after, Lingard and the mustache set off from Eight Peaks Mountain, passed through Iron Peak Castle to fight against the remnants of the Skaven, and passed through the Poison River and Cinder River to fight the Greenskin Tribe. , Fighting vampires in the drifting sand, arriving at Sudenburg, circumnavigating the Arabian coast and fighting the skeletons of the ancient tombs, taking a boat to Sharkfjord and Pirates Bay to repel several attacks of undead pirates and tomb king pirates, Linga De and Ghent-Star Axe really came all the way.

Lingard's bravery, fearlessness, wisdom and faith in this **** journey moved the fairy in the lake. The goddess bestowed him the glory of the Holy Grail, and the Red Dragon Duke family added a Holy Grail Knight. His optimism, open-mindedness, The arrogance and heroic performance left a deep impression, and the legend of him and Ghent-Star Axe riding a thousand miles alone (dwarves do not ride) moved all Bretons.

People gave him the nickname "The Pope of the Great Loop of the Badlands", or "Lin Huang" for short.

Francois glanced at Lingard, who had short crisp hair (the previous hair was ignited by the vampire pirate's firearm and had to be cut off during the battle), who was standing behind Belhemond. Lane's old husband thought about this old thing. Nine times out of ten, he came to ask for a military position for his great-grandson.

Yes, since Ryan's reforms continued to deepen, the knights and nobles are actually losing their armies for thousands of years. A large number of armies, especially the freedmen and serf infantry regiments that are the backbone of the army, have been nationalized, and the knights and nobles are degenerating into simple The landowners and nobles, the knights and nobles have actually felt this, and naturally everyone is somewhat dissatisfied, but now the situation in the old world is like this, the external pressure is extremely huge, and Ryan is too strong in martial arts, so everyone can only hold it. Nose recognized.

In this case, the position of marshal and military position is extremely important. The temporary title that was more of a symbol of honor and wartime has become a position of real power, actually commanding an army.

No wonder Berhemonde brought Lingard in person.

This old thing, pretending to be stupid all day, actually understands it very well!

The old man immediately thought of the Quinalis Champion Knights Brotherhood, his cousin Gerald, and his son Julius, who was still far away in Lustria.

The influence of my Duke Winford family in the military system of Brittany must be maintained!

It seems that she still needs to let her daughter Suria blow the pillow wind more.

Thinking of this, the old man opened his mouth, and Francois touched his goatee: "Is it possible, yes... a happy funeral? Is Emperor Karl Franz really still alive?"

The old man's words instantly changed the atmosphere of the audience.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and don't speak.

Ryan sat on the main seat and did not speak. The Sun King frowned slightly, as if thinking about the possibility of things.

At this time, Zhukov, who had been looking for an opportunity to express himself and his plans to become Marshal of Brittany, felt that the opportunity had come, he immediately got up, and even Bellara, who was sitting beside him, couldn't hold back: "Your Majesty, still Everyone in the High Command, if this is the case, it is already very bad, and we must respond accordingly!"

Bethmond frowned slightly, Francois pondered, Raun lowered his head and thought, Bertrand did not respond, the four marshals were silent, only Callard was a little eager to try: "Deal?"

Without getting the expected reply, Zhukov simply went on: "Your Majesty, we must prepare early, the Chaos army is on the way, if we plan to rescue the empire, then we must open the main artery of the empire, and we must guarantee Marienburg. Don't fall, so that you can go upstream through the channel of the Rick River..."

Zhukov pointed his finger directly on the map: "Nord and Ostermark's Chaos Army aside, let's say Marienburg is here, Marienburg is located at the mouth of the Reik River, and it can be said to be the throat of the old world. , we must control this place... or at least not allow Chaos to occupy this place, otherwise we will rescue the empire in the future..."

"Then here comes the question, General Zhukov from Kislev." François interrupted Zhukov, and the old man was a little impatient: "Why do we want to rescue the Empire?"

"Why don't we rescue the Empire?" Zhukov didn't expect such words to come out of Francois' mouth. He said incredulously: "Aren't we allies?"

"We are allies, but are we a country?" Francois looked impatient, and the old man touched his beloved long beard and pointed his finger on the table: "In any case, as knights, we must give priority to Guarantee your own national security, and then think about other things! Defending the family and the country is the first priority!"

"Besides, the last time we did that, whether Marienburg will allow us to enter is a big question." Talleyrand also said, leaning on crutches: "I think there is a 99.99% chance that Marienburg's two The hospital will stop us from entering at all costs this time, unless there is a war."

"They won't leave if we come." Lawn nodded in agreement.

"It is our duty to defend our homeland and our country, and it is their duty to defend our homeland and our country." Bertrand also expressed disapproval: "The goal of Chaos is currently unclear, and the empire has not responded yet, so take the initiative at this time. Sending troops, one is too humble, and the other will make our people dissatisfied."

Zhukov's proposal was not passed, and the general Kislev could only sigh secretly and hate that his talents had not been given the opportunity to play. He not only glanced at the sun king Ryan who was sitting on the throne and did not speak, thinking about Ryan. Perhaps it is indeed old, dull, and conservative, and he is probably no longer that military wizard.

Katalin is jealous, Ryan's team is really star-studded, if this team is given to her, she thinks that even if she is not as good as Ryan, she will not end up like this.

At this time, Ryan, who was sitting on the throne, was actually talking to Surya: "What do you think?"

"As Talleyrand said, last time we were unprepared, and now Marienburg will never give us any chance to enter the city or even get close." Surya expressed her own opinion: "Unless we launch an attack , Ryan, it's impossible."

"I don't know what Marienburg's plans are, maybe I should fix a book for Schultz." Ryan nodded, and Suria was right: "Ask him what he plans."

"Why don't you let Veronica come over." Suria changed the subject.

"Veronica is very busy. She is the speaker. There are too many things to deal with. Every year at the Green Grass Festival, she has to personally see all the new witch apprentices." Ryan said casually.

"What time is it, hurry up and call her to Musilon." Surya's attitude was surprisingly firm.

"Okay." Ryan said nothing.

Since Ryan has never made a decision, most of the five marshals and the dukes and generals of Brittany at the military conference disagreed with taking the initiative to send troops when the situation was uncertain. After all, it took Brittany a year. The reorganization and reconstruction of the army was completed, and our army was not blown by the wind.

On this point, most of the knights and nobles are consistent, that is to give priority to defending the family and the country, but if Marienburg asks for help, the empire asks for help, or the Chaos army really penetrates into the core area of ​​the empire, then you can really consider sending troops. Things have happened. Based on this, the Brittany army must always be vigilant. What if Chaos did not hit Marienburg and directly hit Curona or Le-Angoulan?

In this way, the motion was settled, and the new Holy Grail Knight Lingard rushed to Marienburg with a letter with Foreign Minister Talleyrand, while Regent Raun followed Ryan's orders and began to assemble an army in Curona.

At the same time, the entire city of Marienburg has exploded!

A Chaos main fleet with thousands of dragon ships is approaching Marienburg along the Sea of ​​Claws!

This old world's largest trade center, port city, and commercial center is facing an unprecedented crisis. Since the Great Holy War, Marienburgers have almost forgotten what the Chaos Dragon Ship fleet looks like!

The whole city was in chaos.

Several undercurrents surged at the same time, and it was clear that the enemy's dragon boat fleet was slowly approaching, but the upper and lower layers of Marienburg formed a complete split!

Are you asking for help? Do you stick to it? Where do you escape if you run away?

The enlarged meeting of the upper and lower chambers of Marienburg launched a heated discussion about this~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Archduke Schultz and most of the small businessmen, a very small number of big businessmen, the temple forces and the trade union forces believe that at this moment it is necessary to show The old world calls for help!

However, the majority of MPs in the upper and lower houses, who are numerically disadvantaged, rejected the proposal with hesitation.

What if Chaos isn't coming for us?

What if these barbarians could negotiate?

What if it is easy to ask God to send God away?

What if it was looted again by the Bretons or the Empire using this as an excuse like last time?

"Let's see what happens next." These are the words of Valverde, a newly emerging businessman in Marienburg.

The shadow brought by Ryan last time and the "unjust" trial of Schultz were too profound. The MPs of Marienburg would not accept any other army entering the city again. The losses were huge and they were forced to The maximum working hours, extra holidays and minimum wages are stipulated, and everyone has lost a lot!

A big box that used to earn 10 gold coins can only earn 8 now, but we lost 2 gold coins in blood!

"Must be wary of Schultz playing the 'Knight Road' card with those dockworkers!"

This is the consensus reached by the big businessmen in private.

At the same time, the big businessmen are still a little secretly delighted. Can this wave play the "chaos card" against those who are not determined and small and medium-sized businessmen?

To die for the cowardly, to starve to the death of the cowardly!

Let Chaos shuffle the cards for Marienburg once, isn't the whole city without main industries? It's time...hehehe!

In this way, Schultz's proposal for help never passed.

After repeated proposals, the Archduke of Marienburg finally resigned in anger.

On the day Schultz submitted his resignation, Ryan's letter and the official documents from the Empire arrived at Marienburg at almost the same time!
