Warhammer Throne

Frankly speaking, Ryan couldn't meet the old king very often. Since he came to Britannia, the number of meetings between him and Richard is really rare.

On the one hand, because Ryan had a certain coercion to win the baron at the time, in short, it meant the fairy in the lake. After Richard gave the sword to the lord, Ryan should have been his vassal, so he ordered Ryan to force There are reasons and grounds.

But the embarrassing problem is here. Ryan is a holy knight. Richard is just an expedition knight. The kingdom ’s holy grail system determines that the expedition knight is of course not a good command of the holy knight. In addition, Ryan has a goddess to support and has the strength of the holy domain. Langsova's backing made it difficult for Richard to manage Ryan. The relationship between the two parties was awkward, and he rarely met.

On the other hand, Ryan and Richard have different political opinions. The only tacit agreement between the two parties is that Richard ’s eldest son, Charles, will not have the opportunity to take the throne. Richard is more inclined to Raun, and Ryan obviously wants to fight for the throne. The two sides have carried out on the knightly throne. Many battles and struggles, this struggle was finally concluded with Richard ’s defeat, Raun ’s defeat in Musilon and Ryan ’s restoration of Musilon, Richard accepted the failed outcome, and the previous grudges between the two parties finally had A result.

Before Matheward was slashed by Ryan at the gate of Curona, Richard had already passed on his Duke of Le Angour to his nephew Taubote and had his son-in-law William set off for the Holy Grail Expedition, as for his son-in-law, the Prince Charles, who had not waited for more than 70 years to wait for the Duke and the throne, and finally chose to become a vampire?

Who cares?

Every time he saw Richard, Ryan could feel that the other party seemed to be a little bit older. When he first came to Brittany, Richard ’s hair was still gray, and he became gray when he failed to suppress Ryan, and now it is almost All white.

"Why? Was it unexpected?" Richard stood at the door. His temperament had turned into a pure old man. The outgoing old king caressed his beard: "I think I need to meet you. "

"Of course." Ryan hesitated a little, but still felt that he had to give Richard basic respect. This was not because he was weak or timid, but because he maintained his legal orthodoxy. Only the old king was fully respected and his throne There will be orthodoxy: "Uh, borrow a step?"

"Are you interested in going out with me? It's nearby." Richard spread his hands. "No weapons, no people."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go talk to Surya." Ryan nodded. He entered the room instead and said a few words to Surya. The knight was a little surprised, but quickly said that it was fine.

A few minutes later, in the dimly lit street of Curona, the old king and the new king who were about to take the post, ignoring the night order, wandered the street, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Under the ruling, the capital ’s night order was strictly enforced. Except for a small number of nobles or licensed businessmen who were entitled to take to the streets, no wanderers were seen on the streets.

The street lights are not bright. Kurona is the most populous city in Brittania and covers the largest area. If you want to keep the city brightly lit at night, you will consume an amazing amount of money every day. Lawn only guarantees that the city remains basic The lighting, therefore, whether it is Richard or Lane, their faces are looming under the lights.

"Did you have nothing to say to me?" Richard's old voice was full of calm and ease.

"I remember it was you who came to me." Ryan was a little funny after hearing this sentence.

"Your Majesty." Richard's hoarse voice said.

"Ok?"

"You must call me now, Your Majesty, because you are not a king yet." Richard snorted deep in his throat: "Aren't you a little polite?"

"Okay, my majesty, I remember you came to me first." Ryan rolled his eyes without any traces, thinking that the old guy was at the end, not forgetting to take advantage of it.

Ryan's voice fell, and Richard faintly "huh" did not say, the old king was in front, Ryan was in the back, the two walked along the street together, Richard kept silent, and Ryan remained silent.

In the strange silence, the two people gradually approached the Holy Grail Champion Warrior Cathedral. The sacred and splendid cathedral was shining brightly under the magic lights. Until the end of the world.

"No one will forget Arthur and his Holy Grail partners. No one will forget their glorious twelve great wars. Without their sacrifices and victories, there will be no Britannia, the Kingdom of Knights today." Richard Caressing his white goatee, tears were already in the eyes of the old king: "Ryan, for the inheritor of Landauin's will and virtue, you must be able to feel this feeling?"

"Lord Rouin is worthy of the completeness of the knighthood. He sacrificed himself and saved Mu Xilong. Without his sacrifice, there will be no Mu Xilong today." Ryan nodded slightly, at this moment, in addition to his heart rising Outside of infinite admiration, there is no other thread in his heart, no sacrifice, no victory. In the long history, countless martyrs have used blood and glory to build the cornerstone of human standing.

"Hehehe ~" Li looked at Ryan's watch, and laughed like sarcasm and self-deprecation. He pointed to the rows of stone benches at the entrance of the Holy Grail Cathedral: "Old, I can't walk that many ways. Sit with me. "

"Okay." Ryan did not refuse, and he and Richard sat on either end of the bench.

"Have you ever hated me?" Richard was sitting on the bench and turned to ask Ryan: "Since the Cavaliers War in the Arden Forest, I have embarrassed you more than once, and I want to transfer you to Arabi Jihad went and told me, Ms. God ’s champion, have you ever had hatred in your heart? "

"No, at most it's just boring." Ryan shook his head calmly. "We just have a different position."

"Huh ~ hahahaha! Different positions?" Richard laughed loudly. His old laughter spread far away, and several guards came out from the Holy Grail Cathedral to check the situation. I saw the old king and the new one. The king sat chatting together, saluted quickly, and backed away. The old king looked at the guard and sneered: "Do you think that I am different from you? Lane, did you know that when I was young, I used to be like you Reformists? "

"?????" Ryan frowned as he heard the words. He wondered for a moment what Richard meant by these words.

This old guy turned around and changed to support me?

Or is it about to abdicate and sell well?

"Why, don't believe it?" Richard sneered. "Do you know the Le Angouran Marines? This army is fully equipped with muskets, decades before your old guard."

"I didn't expect that the army was actually created by you." Ryan decided to wait and see the changes for a while. He was indeed a little surprised, because the Principality of Le Angouran did have a musket battalion called the Marine Corps, but because of its low presence He almost forgot, unexpectedly, this army was actually created by Richard: "But I never seem to have seen it."

"That's because this army is already out of use." Richard nodded slightly, he seemed to sigh, seeming helpless: "It was about thirty or forty years ago, this army had a certain combat effectiveness when it was first created, and a long time later. The warlords were sparsely organized, poorly managed, and enough soldiers paid. The serfs were reluctant to fight hard. The army formed by a large amount of gold and silver and the muskets purchased from the empire were all waste. This was something I did not consider at first. You are as thoughtful as I once thought that as long as the muskets were purchased and trained strictly, our army would not be worse than the empire. "

"... Only equipment keeps up, systems and management do not keep up, it's useless." Ryan said casually: "This kind of temporarily formed army can only fight a full-scale war at most, and the soldiers can either get enough money or fight. Dead sand. "

"Well, now you believe that I was a reformist before?" Richard's turbid eyes gleamed faintly: "I have long realized that earlier than you, when I was a duke, John I and John II has been in power, they are poor soldiers and militia, squeezing the national power and squeezing the wealth of serfs, I was probably the most radical among the dukes at that time! "

"... I can't see it." Ryan didn't know much about Brittania's previous history and stories.

"You must want to know, why did I become like this?" Richard laughed bluntly: "When he was in power, the vigorous and ambitious Duke of Le Angoulou, nicknamed" Tiger ", Paladin Richard, How did it become this cautious old man today? "

"My Majesty ..." Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the deep black night sky. The bright moonlight spilled across the street and enveloped the Holy Grail Cathedral in a less realistic light and shadow.

"After I assumed the throne, I thought of many ways, many." Richard said to himself: "But without exception, they failed. I spent a few years, hit the head and broke the blood, I thought the Duke chose I will support my decision when I come up, but it does n’t. On the contrary, they only stare at their own interests. I ’m under control everywhere. What ’s more, I ca n’t get the support of Mogiana, and Mogiana does n’t support me. , Then the lady must not be on my side. "

"Ryan, the power of habit and tradition is terrible. When a country that has passed on for thousands of years is gradually declining, many times it cannot be saved by one person alone, Ryan, you really think that John I and John II are sinners who are evil. , A tyrant that endangers the country? "Richard turned his head and looked at Ryan:" I initially felt that until I became a king, I found out that John I and John II were not as imagined, they also wanted To save this declining kingdom, they just did n’t have the right choice, especially John II hoped that a knightly holy war would be achieved through the expedition to battle the green skin to gain the actual control of the kingdom, but his ending was knightly. The army was annihilated, and he was lowered to the throne by Mogi Anna. "

Ryan sighed softly. He understood that the new king also looked at the old king: "So, after trying many times, you chose to give up, because the ending of John II scared you."

"Yeah, I'm scared." Richard nodded slightly: "Dagong selflessness is often just a pursuit, I have my family, I have my family, I have my vassal, I can't be because of my selfishness, Let bad luck fall on them, I can only become what I hated the most, as a rubber stamp, trying to maintain stability, like an old captain desperately at the helm, controlling the broken ship leaking everywhere, I am tired I ’m tired, but I ca n’t stop or dare to stop, Ryan, you have the way you want to protect the kingdom, and I have mine. "

Speaking of which, Richard has burst into tears: "I heard the stories of Arthur and the twelve first-generation holy knights when I was three years old. I used to think that I just had to go forward like Arthur and the Holy Grail partners in the story. , Without fear of evil, can have his own great achievements, but after truly becoming a king, I found nothing to do with the status quo. When I saw your various strange actions and repeatedly challenged the existing order, my tired My heart and fragile will make me instinctively hostile to you, because I know that this kingdom can't stand any little suffering. "

"My Majesty ..." Ryan looked up at the black night sky. The weight of the crown, who can understand? Everyone only sees the glory and power of the crown, but few people know the weight of the crown, enough to turn Richard, the once brave and proud paladin, into today.

Old, conservative, decaying and stubborn.

"I'm glad you found a way." Richard took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Now is your time, the future of the kingdom will soon be handed over to you, I have a hunch , The Kingdom of Knights is either in chaos under your hands, or it is a great rule. "

"Wait for my performance." Ryan didn't know what to say. Until now, he is still not very confident about becoming a king. The whole kingdom must be placed under his rule. His heart is very kind. The unexplainable feeling seemed agitated and worried. In the future, he must take up the country himself.

"Huh, by the way, you are still an alien." Richard said casually: "But what does it matter? Arthur is not an alien. The entire Brittany moved from across the Grey Mountains. , Since you married Surya, it is us Brittany. "

"Then you don't even know it, you can't predict it yourself." Ryan extended his index finger and gently rubbed around his nostrils, and then spread his hands: "A person's fate, of course, depends on self-struggle. , But we must also consider the historical itinerary. My sire, you said that I am the adopted son of Lord Nord, how could I become a knight king? "

"Oh, this is not the first time. Was the original Knight King Taylor Buddha also the illegitimate son of the Duke of the Empire?" Richard also felt some emotion: "Over thirty years on the throne ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ I carefully After thinking about it, I probably did three things. "

"First, after the poor soldiers of John I and John II and the chaos that continued for decades, I presided over the restoration of production, stabilized the political situation, and stopped the civil war between the Duke.

"Second, the knightly war was stopped for more than 20 years, and the national strength and the number of knights were restored."

"Third, we reached a consensus with the former imperial emperor Luitpold and maintained the overall peace between Brittania and the empire for nearly three decades."

Richard said to himself that Ryan nodded, and smiled on his face. The old king was actually not talking to Ryan, but to himself. In fairness, Richard did Your own contribution.

"If there is one more achievement, it is that I tried to introduce the technology of the empire, and the scale of the invasion of Egil is also very large, but these are secondary, my main I am three small things, very Ashamed, only a little work was done. "

"The future is yours, Lion, below heaven is your heaven."

"May Madam bless you."

After the old king said this, he left the place and ignored Ryan. He left alone. The old shadow was no longer strong in his prime, but the pride in his heart and the ease of unloading his burden made his footsteps very. Quickly, around a street corner, Richard left, and Ryan knew that this was probably the last time he saw Richard.

"Very well, it's my turn next."
