December 2520 in the imperial calendar.
In front of the Palace of Fontainebleau.
The extremely majestic Old Guards were forming several square formations in front of the palace for review.
During the Obien expedition, the Old Guard lost about 500 men, of which more than 200 were killed, and more than 200 were forced to retire due to disability or age.
But soon, fresh blood was drawn from the elite freemen of the major principalities. The Old Guards quickly completed its recruitment, and new serfs were promoted to freemen soldiers in large numbers.
The losses were replenished with enough new blood, and at the same time, many new knights and trainee knights were promoted to knights errant in the major principalities.
The beautiful figure of the fairy in the lake is displayed in front of everyone. Today, the goddess is wearing a winter lotus cold dew round neck lace vertical button fishtail dress, a long snow-white windbreaker covered with white fox velvet, and a
Wearing the high elf's green platinum and diamond crown of eternal glory, she smiled and inspected the Old Guards accompanied by Knight King Ryan and Knight Queen Surya.
These serfs and freedmen in the countryside all wore old Guards uniforms, bearskin hats, blue coats, gold fringes, white shirts and trousers, all produced in the Mousilon textile workshop.
His shiny boots and his chest were covered with various medals and medals.
The new clothes and hats symbolize the identity and treatment of the Sun King's Guards, as well as the medals reflected in the sun. Especially the newly promoted soldiers of the Old Guards are not to mention how happy they are. Most of them were free before.
People, a small number of them even a few years ago were
The "mud-legged" farmers and herders, dressed in the uniforms of the Old Guards that they had longed for, were inspected by the Goddess and the Sun King. They were so excited that they straightened their backs, their faces lit up, and they were eager for Ryan to give an order.
Next, they can rush forward and fight the enemy to the death.
Except for Marshal Lawn and Border Marshal Roland, all the remaining marshals arrived and followed behind. Morgiana, the Lake God Witch, represented the fairy in the lake to express condolences to the disabled veterans and the families of martyrs, and personally sent them blessings one by one.
pension.
I don’t know what’s going on, but Morgiana is in a great mood today. The Witch of the Lake is also dressed up. She is wearing a fashionable witch dress with a pop plaid triangular flower collar. Under the skirt is a pair of milky white leather high-heeled boots.
, wearing a complete set of artifact jewelry obtained from Sulia, always with a smile on his face.
During the review, a small incident occurred. A newly promoted Holy Grail girl accidentally broke the cup of purifying holy water that the Lake God and the Witch had spent a lot of magic to bless. This kind of incident would have been enough for this poor girl to be dragged on the spot.
She went down to be executed, but Morgiana just frowned and ordered her to be fined one month's salary and imprisoned for three days.
Everyone was amazed. You must know that Morgiana's character can be said to be very weird and elusive, but everyone began to figure out the trick, that is, when she was with King Ryan, Her Highness the Lake God Witch seemed to be in a much better mood.
, and are more pleasant to others.
"Rohir!" The Lady of the Lake said warmly as she stood on the long horseshoe spiral staircase in front of the Palace of Fontainebleau.
"Yes! My lady!" A veteran who had served Lane for a full twenty-eight years, the sergeant major of the Old Guards strode out of the team in response.
"For 28 years, I have been moved by your loyalty and faith. Since the beginning of the Battle of Colleson in Marienburg, you have followed Ryan in bloody battles to this day. Now, I grant you the highest honor." Fairy in the Lake.
Smiling and motioning for Rohir to come forward.
The golden Holy Grail was spinning in the air, the light of the Lake God penetrated the entire audience, and the sweet Holy Grail slurry exuded a moving fragrance in the middle of winter. In everyone's envious eyes, the old Guards Sergeant Rothschild fell to his knees.
He knelt down with tears in his eyes: "My lady...I am so grateful!"
The veteran survived, and Rohir drank the water of the Holy Grail. He instantly changed from a middle-aged man who looked forty years old to a man in his thirties. His eyes were red, his whole body was enveloped by the light of the divine spirit, and he walked off the stage with great dignity.
The third Holy Grail Guard belongs to the Old Guard Sergeant Rohir from the Principality of Winford!
"Valen!"
A very strong swordsman of the Old Guard came out. His face and body were covered with scars, and his eyes were like lightning.
Ryan recognized him. This warrior came from Red Fish Village. He was famous in the village because he weighed nearly ten pounds at birth. Many people believed that he had a mutation problem. He was bullied and discriminated against by the villagers when he was a child. He didn't have a name yet. Only Angron knew it.
Zhu, named him "Valen" and arranged for him to follow him in blacksmithing, grazing and chopping trees.
Valen soon grew into an unparalleled warrior, relying on hard power and military exploits and various incredible performances to advance through the ranks, from serf infantry, to freedmen sergeant, to the old guard, until he is now the sergeant major. He is only 35 this year.
age!
In the Battle of Albion, Valen single-handedly chopped down twelve of Harold's "Royal Guards", killed a Chaos Champion, and seriously injured a Khorne Vampire!
"Obey orders, unite sincerely, be brave and strong, and persevere." The fairy in the lake signaled Valen to come forward, and the goddess took out the second Holy Grail from the void: "I give you the glory of the Holy Grail, and I hope you will continue to work hard and be worthy of the name of a brave man.
"
"Yes!" Warren took a deep breath and drank the water from the Holy Grail.
The fourth Holy Grail Guard.
"Oudinot!" The deputy general of Musilon Lengxi's Guards was stunned for a moment.
The whole place was silent.
The fifth Grail Guard! He's not even the Old Guard!
Oudinot is also a recognized warrior throughout the Knight Kingdom. He is brave and fearless, and as a musketeer, he personally launches charges every time and is wounded several times. Since joining Ryan's command, he has been fighting to be the first, and he is still alive.
He performed well in the Battle of Tyrone, the Invasion of Mortkin, and the Battle of Obion.
Standing behind the fairy in the lake, Ryan, holding the little hand of his wife Sulia, looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. He noticed that the knights and nobles headed by Bohemond and his father-in-law had a clear sense of crisis on their faces.
The Guards has only been established for more than ten years, but there are already five mud-legged men who have obtained the Holy Grail!
Now there are only more than 300 Holy Grail Knights in the entire Knight Kingdom!
Of course, the knights and nobles will not question the Fairy of the Lake. The goddess's criteria for judging the gift of the Holy Grail will never be influenced by others. Since she thinks it is okay, then it is okay.
In fact, to be fair, the path established by Lane from serf infantry - free folk sergeants - Old Guards - Knight titles - Holy Grail Guards is still far from the so-called "fairness", although this upward channel has been completely completed.
Open, but it is still very unfair. As long as the knights and nobles can get spurs from the knights of the kingdom, they can become regular knights or knights as trainees, and every old guard has been fighting for the rest of his life. They are simply thousands of troops.
The horse crosses the single-plank bridge.
Is it fair? Not fair at all? The mud-legged people fought to death, and in the end they only had a few pitiful places. The Old Guard now has more than 300 legendary strong men, but they still continue to fight for those knights.
The fight for the title and the spot among the Holy Grail Guards continues.
But in fact, the serfs and free people of the entire Knight Kingdom are extremely grateful to Ryan. Everyone knows that in the original Knight Kingdom, the mud-legged people are the mud-legged people, and they will never be able to change into the Knight Master, and will never have a chance.
Now, 70,000 to 80,000 people have escaped from their lowly status and become free citizens through the war. Hundreds of people have received the title of knight. Some have even been made knights of the kingdom, made barons, and have received the highest honor of the Holy Grail. All of them
They were all ecstatic. In fact, the reason why many serfs and free people only recognized Ryan was this-everyone was afraid that once the king was replaced, these benefits and reforms, and the channels for advancement would be reversed, and the entire kingdom would return to its original state.
To the state of a pool of stagnant water before.
It can only be said that the previous Kingdom of Knights was too "right", and Ryan's governance has shifted to the "left", which has made all the serfs burst into tears of gratitude.
After the investiture ceremony outside, everyone returned to the conference hall of the Fontainebleau Palace.
Ryan, the Fairy of the Lake, and Sulia sat on the main seat, showing that the Kingdom of Knights is now ruled by three people. First, Morgiana, the Lake God Witch, the Eight Marshals and several regional governors took their seats, and then Ryan's
Private ministers such as Talleyrand, Beria, Vincent and others, followed by Ryan's group of female courtiers, headed by Veronica, Theresa, Aurora, Sylvia and others accompanied the last one, personal
Maid Olika stood behind Ryan.
At the meeting, Sun King Ryan and Lake Fairy Lilith further promoted the following policies to fully prepare for the Eternal Chosen's move south.
Veterans who were previously forced to retire and retire will be put to use first. Regarding this, Lane has two ideas, namely, to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Open Source: Expanding outside the existing system, there are currently two sets of standing army teams, which are difficult to cope with high-intensity consumption, and the recovery of the serf economy is limited. If you want to improve the overall combat effectiveness in a short period of time, there is no other way except to train a standing army at a high price, but the cost is too high.
A compromise method is to cultivate backbones to infiltrate the militia, strengthen the combat effectiveness of the militia point by point, increase training intensity, and expand other sources of soldiers.
Saving money: Veterans are precious resources, and it is a pity to waste them in vain. At the same time, they can also be guided into other fields to promote semi-military development.
Comprehensive goal: With veterans and new forces as the main body, ensure that new forces can be quickly mobilized during ET and avoid the rapid exhaustion of the war potential of the traditional Breton-style disposable serf infantry.
1. The state will allocate fixed subsidies to veterans who are seriously injured and disabled, and allocate local areas to serve as instructors and security patrol forces. Conduct training in accordance with regulations and in conjunction with the farming season. Ensure that ET can quickly lead from one point to another and organize local defense forces. Establish relevant patrol teams
A fixed office (small fortress) forms an evacuation point and resettlement place in front of the ET, and stores a certain amount of weapons to facilitate the people to enter and obtain weapons during wartime.
2. Expand the sources of standing troops.
The major local foreign-related chambers of commerce in Brittany are required to promote unionization and raise funds to organize the escort team. It is specified that veterans from the Old World and Brittany must be hired as instructors for training to ensure the quality of training and strive to create a group of
Standing force, and required the chamber of commerce to set up stations along the trade routes
In other places, the state retains the right to rent and store (to facilitate wartime requisition and the establishment of wartime logistics nodes). At the same time, the maintenance of the post station can also train a group of financial personnel to be responsible for wartime logistics planning. Each post station can also be passed through during wartime.
Settle some elites and civilians to form a small fortress and hold on as long as possible)
3. Increase the requirements for merchants and major principalities, requiring merchants and knight nobles to bear the military expenses of a small number of standing self-defense forces and part of the permanent army involved in local defense in the form of blood tax or exemption money. The army can be replaced by military horses, weapons, and money.
Serve, or replace it with paying to hire some long-term mercenaries, aiming to fully mobilize merchant resources and maintain a new standing army without additional consumption of the lord's financial resources.
4. Utilize the badlands to increase the number of troops, establish new mountain forces in addition to the horse retinues that were needed in the past, organize them into independent hunting troops, and make full use of the quasi-retinue class who have no money to buy horses. Fix them in various principalities near the passes.
To prepare hunters, it is required to provide a corresponding share of strength so that various places can trade
The roads should be smooth and the chaotic forces in the mountains should be cleared regularly. The relevant classes of people should prepare their own weapons, and the food and military pay should be shared by the central government and the principalities in proportion. If they are not willing to provide it, the principalities need to provide a certain population to the central government on a regular basis and transfer the defense obligations to the central government.
It is handed over to the central government, and relevant expenditures are contracted by the central government.
Those who are willing to provide will first recruit candidates to go to the badlands for preliminary training, and then return to the pass one year later to organize training and hold on. The central government will be responsible for the expenses during the badland training. It aims to ensure that non-knights are mobilized in the name of mountain warfare everywhere.
The retinue class ensures reserve forces for training and actual combat. Once the ET can be mobilized quickly.
5. Require caravans going to Badlands to do business to organize escorts and designate the hiring of healthy veterans who have been retired from the army. The caravans will purchase or hire free people for training. At the same time, the soldiers of the three guards in Badlands are required to pay attention to coordination and cooperation to ensure long-distance trade.
The team can have self-protection forces and reserve soldiers. Relevant caravan guard veterans can arrange to enter the interior of the Knight Kingdom by allocating land or integrating into local security forces to ensure that during critical periods, they can lead from one point to another and drive local armed forces.
6. In view of the problem of the quality of the serf army, the religion and church they believe in are required to send priests and some priests to accompany the army in exchange for the existence of the Lake Goddess. However, relevant church personnel are strictly limited to only participate in serf battles before and after, and are not allowed to intervene in the daily life of serfs.
.
The knight nobles are somewhat reluctant, but now everyone sees the chaos in the old world. Everyone knows how difficult it is for the knight kingdom to be so peaceful now. In addition, with the fairy of the lake endorsing Ryan, these proposals
Passed one by one.
Only Sulia looked unhappy. These actions of Ryan meant that the kingdom's finances under her control were going to bleed again. Her husband was always so good at spending money and spending money lavishly.
But the Queen of Knights believed in her husband, and she said nothing except pinching Ryan's palm.
"The news from the dwarves in Dulong City deserves great attention. The dwarf scouts and rangers reported that there is a very, very, very large Chaos army in the Chaos Wasteland in the north, which is gathering under the orders of Archaon, the new Eternal God Chosen.
It is said that the visible line alone is hundreds of kilometers long, with no end in sight." Ryan said to everyone: "It is said that the dwarves of Dulong City are once again considering our proposed 'big retreat' plan very seriously."
"Damn it, it's only been a few years, and Chaos is going south again?" Bohemond blew his beard and stared in anger.
"Let them come!" Kalad said coldly and calmly, "We will kill as many as there are."
"What did Lawn say?" The father-in-law still had a clear mind. Francois leaned on his chair and asked, "Is there any news?"
"Troll King Solong's 30,000 Chaos Army has appeared on the high mountain passes of the Mourn Mountains." Ryan nodded: "This is the vanguard and a precursor to the invasion."
Everyone was silent, is it coming again? The Motekin invasion was so hard fought before, and now only six years have passed, the Chaos army is showing signs of coming back again, and this time the scale seems to be far larger than before!
Seemingly unwilling to discuss this issue further, Ryan then asked Talleyrand, "Talleyrand, what's going on with the high elves?"
Talleyrand stood up on crutches and said with a smile: "Lord Tyrion exchanged thirty boxes of jewelry and various goods from us for a large amount of military rations and logistical supplies. At the same time, he said that he does not need our chivalrous army. It seems that
…The war lord considers this chivalrous army unworthy of joining his rescue team.”
"Then let him." Ryan also sneered and shook his head.
He knew what Tai Ritian meant. What Tai Ritian meant was that it would be best for Ryan to lead the army himself, and take the Great Holy Grail of the Holy Realm, including Berhemond, Francois, and Calard, as well as the Old Guards, to rescue him with him.
little queen.
But in Lean Ming said that he was seriously injured in Obien, the Old Guards also suffered heavy losses, and there was no way to rescue the little queen.
After being politely rejected by the Sun King, Tyrion, who felt that his face had been damaged, said nothing more. The High-Elf Expeditionary Force only stayed in Bordero for half a day to replenish a large amount of supplies, and then quickly left without even seeing each other.
, the "Jerrod Chivalry Army" organized by Francois's cousin Sir Jerrod was clearly told that it was not needed.
You are not worthy.
If you don't deserve it, you don't deserve it. Even though he has lost favor with Gao Jing, Ryan really doesn't want to go into this muddy water.
"One more issue."
…………I have another dividing line on the issue…………
On the other side, in the old world, in the south of the Roof of the World Mountains, is the giant fortress of the undead, Nagashzar.
Manfred von Carstein appeared in a cold, desolate and dilapidated prison filled with deep cold.
The little queen of eternity, Alisala, is being tied to the iron railings and chains of the prison. These instruments are reinforced with undead runes and made of special metals. Alisala cannot feel any magic or magic here.
The power of the gods, the demon-sealing bracelet on the little queen's hand and the demon-sealing collar on her neck prevented her from using magic, and she could only look at the person coming powerlessly.
Surprisingly, Alisa's body was quite clean and her clothes were quite neat. This was all thanks to the Lich King Arkhan. Arkhan was very polite to the little queen and said that this was an "invitation" to Alisa.
Ra "dedicated his efforts" to the resurrection of Nagash. As long as Alishara cooperated, Arkhan promised that he would not let her suffer. The Lich King even collected Alishara's luggage and let his subordinate Nicoha
The palace guards washed and changed Alisala's clothes regularly, and provided food that could be eaten by living people.
Seeing Manfred appear, Alisala closed her eyes, feeling like a piece of stinky meat appeared in front of her. The little queen only felt disgusting. She was not even interested in communicating with Manfred.
"Someone is here to save you." Manfred grinned wildly and walked to the iron railing: "Brother Tai and a group of high elves are rushing here. They are here to save you, my little queen.
,Are you very happy?"
"They will kill you and bathe your soul in the blazing sun." Alisara said coldly.
"Many people have said this, but I'm still alive." Manfred put his head on the railing and sneered: "We'll see, my little queen."
"Bah!" Alisara spat on Manfred's bald face. She then grabbed a stone from the cell and hit Manfred directly on his bald forehead: "Go away, scum!"
"
"Scum? Scum! Just you?" Manfred opened the cage instantly. He even held Alisala's ankle wrapped in white lace stockings with one hand, and slapped her with the other hand: "
Snap!"
The little queen spit out a mouthful of blood, half of her face swollen, and glared at Manfred. If looks could kill, maybe Manfred would have died long ago.
"This is the expression, I like this expression, good, good, very good! Very good!" Manfred roared angrily, he seemed to realize that he was despised, the last vampire count first
He walked around in the prison like crazy, and then calmed down: "Very good, very good, I like this expression, firm and confident, and with contempt for me, very good."
Manfred clapped his hands, and two undead monsters walked out from behind him. One was a bloodthirsty manta wolf that mutated from a wolf, and the other was a sky ghost that mutated from a bat.
They opened the iron door of the prison, and more people poured in from outside.
There were more than a dozen vampires and dozens of zombies still dripping with pus, blood and drooling.
As well as dozens of undead dire wolves, mutated bats, gargoyles, tomb goblins and tomb ghouls.
"Keep on, keep on keeping that expression of yours, oh, how holy, how noble, what a well-educated little queen." Manfred laughed, and then his face revealed his complete love for Alisala.
Abomination: "I just don't know, after you have been turned over by a hundred people and a hundred monsters, can our little queen continue to show such a holy expression?"
"You?!" Alisala backed away in fear.
"Today I, Manfred, am kind enough to help our little queen open melons and have her first taste. Please feel free to do whatever you want. If you mess up, I will be the one to blame." Manfred waved his hand, and hundreds of undead and hundreds of
The undead monsters rushed towards Alisala at the same time. They scrambled for the first place and their eyes turned green: "Just remember not to kill them."
More than a dozen vampire hands, zombie hands, and claws of various monsters were stretched towards Alisa. The little queen was held down, with her hands pressed against the wall. A dire wolf in front of her had already stretched out its tongue and licked it.
with her face.
"Tear~" The sound of stockings being torn into pieces was heard.
"Hahahaha!" Manfred laughed wildly.
There really is nothing that makes him more satisfied than the joy of tearing apart and smashing beauty to pieces!
The expression on Alyssa's face ranged from uneasiness, to panic, to panic, to despair.
