In the eyes of the knight nobles, what kind of person is Ryan?
The previous stages have been discussed, so I won’t go into details here.
For the knights and nobles, Ryan is now glory, faith, idol, and a deeply loved king. At the same time, he is Sulia's husband, the lady's divine champion, and the embodiment of chivalry's virtues.
It is also the culmination of a series of great expedition victories and Britannia's unparalleled glory in the past ten years.
Therefore, knights and nobles naturally have a "feeling of intimacy" when looking at Ryan.
Of course, things like perception are important, whether they are important or not. The most important thing is, under the banner of the sword family heraldry in Ryan's Iris Book, what happened to the knights and nobles in the past few years? Yes.
"Eat and gain weight" or "hungry and lose weight"?
There is no doubt that this problem is due to eating fat.
I really gained weight.
After several great expeditions, among the knights and nobles who risked their lives to fight, which one was not a mouthful of food, and which one was not pulling carts and ships of goods into his family's treasury? Who was not following Ryan to carry out reforms?
Obtained tangible benefits, and in recent years, due to the lack of food in the old world, he has made a lot of money through the manor planting economy?
These are real benefits, which allow all knight nobles to feel that following Ryan, everyone has a bright future.
Of course, some people have noticed that there is a carrot on one side and a stick on the other. If you follow Lane to drink and eat meat, you must abide by the rules. Moreover, Lane seems to be very interested in the power in their hands. The first is to reduce taxes and improve the status of serfs.
Everyone recognized it.
Then there was the recovery of judicial power and restrictions on aristocratic exploitation, which everyone recognized.
Then came the governor-general system, which abolished the privileges of the nobility, but the knights and nobles still held their noses and accepted it.
But when Ryan extended his hand to the military power, any knight noble with a sense of worry couldn't bear it anymore.
To be honest, every nobleman present actually didn’t want to go against Ryan. They just had no choice but to protect themselves. Especially Laoun who was the first to come forward. The regent of the kingdom almost took the initiative.
, because Lawn knew that if he did not step up, he would no longer be a regent in the future, because he would also lose his prestige as a regent.
Even if he doesn't take the blame, he has to take the blame! Otherwise, there will really be no place for Lao En in the circle of great aristocrats.
Furthermore, it is not that the knights and nobles did not have legitimate reasons for forcing the throne. Shortly after the creation of Asuryan, the Creator God, as the supreme god, set a rule with the gods: "gods return to gods, and mortals return to mortals."
", which stipulates that gods are not allowed to directly intervene in mortal affairs. Asuryan has an extremely strict attitude towards this kind of thing. Any god who tries to directly influence the mortal world through his own power is not allowed.
This regulation undoubtedly protects mortals, but it also protects the gods. The war of gods has degenerated into a war of spokespersons. The influence of the gods is weakened but not too much faith is lost.
This regulation was strictly followed at first, but later the gods discovered many loopholes. The most typical one was that Lilith, who loved to dance and make trouble, first discovered that Asuryan had no regard for dreams, so the goddess issued instructions to her believers through dreams.
, and then this regulation only has strong enough binding force on the gods who signed it at the time, and the binding force of the new gods will weaken, so Lilith started to open a new vest.
In addition, if Isa and Kunos directly descended into the mortal world to live with their people, or the snake god Sotek became a god in the flesh and never entered the supreme heaven, it would be a way.
But in the mortal world, the return of gods to gods and the return of mortals to mortals has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now that Ryan is a demigod, he was no longer suitable to continue to be the king. Now that he continues to be the king, it is a compromise and special circumstances.
,In dark times, such a strong leader is needed.
On the other side, Ryan also frowned and looked at the group of knight nobles.
Faced with such huge resistance, Ryan did not expect that the Gray Knights believed that he had given them enough benefits in exchange. Moreover, he did not directly deprive the military power, but indirectly unified the military power. During the war,
The cabinet is not his one-word office, but an organization similar to a military committee of a group of Holy Grail knights (except Sulia).
However, the reaction of the knights and nobles was still so fierce that they did not hesitate to force the palace.
What makes Ryan even more confused is that even so, the knights and nobles are still the most important combat force, the source of officers and talents. Without the knights and nobles, relying solely on the newly trained officers and bureaucrats of the Central Military System under Ryan's command, it is absolutely impossible.
Not as good at fighting as the knights and nobles.
Some people must say that this is wrong. Isn’t it easy for the army to train officers and for bureaucrats to lead troops to fight wars?
This refers to modern times, especially the wars after the popularization of breech-loading guns. With one gun in hand, the arms, formations, and tactics have been extremely simplified. It takes two or three years to basically become proficient in fighting.
In the context of the Middle Ages, a qualified officer must be trained for many years before he can master countless complex arms, formations, tactics, strategies and coordination. This is why in ancient times, he must be a "poor man"
, "rich and military", then you need military aristocrats, because only these people can master these in the long military training.
This is why the few literati who could lead troops in ancient times were particularly important. This is why Zhuge Liang's military ability was praised by all dynasties, because it was incredible that such elite bureaucrats were good at leading troops in ancient times.
Especially Zhuge Liang, with a national power of 1:6-1:7, can actually lead his troops to a 50-50 split, which is simply amazing!
It's a pity that Ryan doesn't have this kind of person, and even if he does, there won't be enough of him.
Lane needs knights and nobles.
But they must be unified under command, otherwise once war breaks out, Ryan will not be able to take care of so many aspects. The knights and nobles will have independent military power in their hands. They are very likely to fight independently and launch attacks privately, or perhaps
It's passive defense.
This doesn't work either.
Ryan didn't speak, he just sat there, staring at everyone present with cold eyes.
The demigod's face was filled with endless coldness and scrutiny, a direct torture of his soul. Ryan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as sharp as a needle, and as cold as snow.
He didn't say a word, not even a sound, but when he sat there and looked at everyone, all the Dukes recalled the sound of horse hooves that shook the earth, and the thunder, lightning and fire that frightened all evil.
This is their king!
Light.
lightning.
Silver flame.
The surging momentum was like a real ocean, pressing on the Dukes.
The knights and nobles who were forced into the palace were breathless, and even Francois and Callard, who were not involved and had reservations, shuddered.
Is this a demigod?
Return to God what is divine, and return to mortal what is mortal, but God cannot be insulted!
Endless wonder and light shrouded their familiar yet unfamiliar faces, making it impossible to look directly at his face.
At first some of the Dukes couldn't stand it anymore. Duke Casson, who was least willing to confront Ryan, was gritting his teeth, his head was covered with sweat, and his body was shaking.
Ryan is telling everyone with his attitude that if necessary, he will really not hesitate to fight a civil war to solve the problem!
So the question is, if there really is a civil war, among all the people present, can anyone defeat the Sun King in front of them?
The knights and nobles began to feel extremely heavy pressure, and many of them realized that if a war really started, maybe... most of the small and medium-sized nobles, free people and serfs would not stand on their side at all. In this regard,
It has been verified because of what happened to Duke Taubot last time.
Is there really going to be a civil war?
However, whether it is military management, generalship or personal bravery, how can we possibly defeat the Sun King in front of us and the Old Guards under his command?
The kneeling Dukes were under great pressure, and some of them could no longer hold on. Duke Theodoric, who was the most adaptable, knelt for a while. Seeing that Ryan didn't flinch, he rolled his eyes and thought, should I go first?
Go to the toilet?
Seeing that the Dukes were beginning to be unable to bear it any longer, Ryan knew better.
I have worked so hard to open up new territories and expand my territory, and I have worked hard to reform and strengthen the army. How much effort I have put in and how much blood I have shed. I am already the Sun King, I am already a demigod, and now I have to look at the faces of these mortals.
Then I will no longer be a beggar on my knees!
Sorry, I just can't bend my legs.
All of this is Ryan's plan. In fact, even if all the military power in the country is seized, Ryan can't manage it by himself. He is not Guilliman. The management ability of the Gray Knights' original body is not exaggerated to that extent (Ma
Cardo is not good at running the army and commanding). He still needs to form a decision-making team with the dukes. Therefore, forcibly forming a wartime cabinet is not only a bit ahead of his time, but also inappropriate. As mentioned above, he still needs the support of these knights and nobles.
military capabilities.
So why did Ryan still propose the establishment of a war cabinet?
In fact, the reason is very simple: it is too much, and overcorrection must be too much.
For example, if you say that this room is too dark and you need to open a window here, no one will allow it.
But if you advocate removing the roof, they will mediate and be willing to open the windows.
At this time, it was his turn... Ryan still said nothing, and the original body continued to maintain his power.
Sulia, who was sitting on the other side of Ryan, spoke, and the Queen of Knights continued with a gentle voice: "Everyone, don't be so excited. Our Majesty wants to establish a wartime cabinet because there will be a huge army soon.
The army of the undead is coming straight towards our Kingdom of Knights."
"Coming straight to our knight kingdom?"
"Haven't the undead been wiped out from Britannia? Why are there still enemies?"
"May I ask the queen, this news is..."
Sure enough, the knights and nobles were diverted.
"Do you remember that the undead have repeatedly attacked the La Messenelle Monastery in the east of the kingdom?" Sulia took out a roll of parchment, and the queen picked up her black tea cup gracefully and calmly: "Now,
They are back, and in order to resurrect Nagash, the Lord of the Undead, the Lich King Arkhan and his undead army are waiting for an opportunity to attack the monastery again and seize a sacred object inside."
"I see." Finally, it was François's turn to exert his strength. The father-in-law immediately came up, took the parchment, looked at it for a few times, and sang along with his daughter: "If this is the case, then are we going to prepare for another fight?"
-The Battle of Messner Abbey?”
"It is very possible that this is why your Majesty is eager to establish a wartime cabinet." Sulia said solemnly: "The war is coming, and the enemy is coming. If we don't unite at this time, we will only be defeated by each other.
Break!"
"Then please speak first, Your Majesty. Talking about establishing a wartime cabinet without mentioning this matter will misunderstand us." The knights and nobles finally found their way to the bottom of the steps. The kingdom's regent, Lawn, breathed a sigh of relief: "Since the Lich King is
Arkhan's undead army should naturally attract attention."
"Same as last time, Arkhan will not get anything from our Kingdom of Knights!"
"Your Majesty, give the order, our army obeys your order!"
"I was reckless before. Please forgive me, Your Majesty! Since a powerful enemy has invaded the country, Your Majesty will make arrangements."
The knights and nobles gave in.
"The reason why I want to establish a wartime cabinet is not entirely because of this matter." Ryan finally spoke, and the Sun King's tone became more relaxed. The original body motioned for everyone to get up, and then continued: "In the future, such threats will only
There will be more and more.”
"I don't think it's better to do this. The wartime cabinet matters are temporarily put on hold, but we must unite our command for the upcoming war." Sulia continued to play freely according to the script, and the Knight Queen also stood up: "In order to deal with the upcoming Sri Lanka
Kawen Skaven and the Lich King
of the army, I proposed to establish a Supreme Command, composed of the ten marshals and all the dukes, responsible for taking charge of all military power in the kingdom, with Duke Berhemond and Duke Francois serving as deputy supreme commanders. I and
How about having Ryan as a member?"
As soon as the Queen of Knights said this, everyone had no opinions. The war at hand was indeed important. When the external pressure was huge, especially when the undead army of the Lich King Arkhan was about to arrive, the knight nobles were willing to compromise. They
They also know that the Lord of the Dead cannot be resurrected under any circumstances, but everyone still has one last question: "If this is the case, then who will serve as the supreme commander of the Supreme Command?"
"Let me do it!" A green phantom light enveloped the entire Fountain courtyard, and the Green Knight, the embodiment of knightly virtues and the demigod who has guarded the kingdom for thousands of years, appeared.
"His Royal Highness the Green Knight will serve as the supreme commander." Ryan said solemnly: "Who has any objection to this arrangement?"
"I will obey your Majesty's order!" The knights and nobles had no objections.
Starting today, the Britannian Supreme Command is announced in the Schönbrunn Courtyard!
Everyone announced that the meeting was adjourned, and after everyone retreated, Ryan and Sulia looked at each other and smiled.
Total victory!
As for the knights and nobles, many dukes came out of the meeting and took several hours to recover.
Isn't this still some kind of variation of the wartime cabinet? It's just that the supreme commander has been replaced by the Green Knight. But the Green Knight is the Goddess's choice and follower, and Ryan is the Goddess's chosen champion. Aren't they still on the same side?
Damn it! I fell into a trap!
But the deal is done, and the knights and nobles have no choice but to accept and hope that the Green Knight's methods will not be as powerful as Ryan's.
…………I am the dividing line of the Supreme Command…………
After the meeting, the cunning lame Talleyrand watched the farce, got into the carriage, and snickered while sitting in the carriage.
How could he not see that this was a good show colluded by Ryan and Lidya Su?
This trick was really bad in the high-elf court. Fenuba and Alarielle once performed a similar trick, which allowed Fenuba to take back a small part of his administrative power.
But Talleyrand had to admit that the couple played well because they had the capital to play like this, especially Lane. He was too wealthy. Talleyrand could see it. When Lane told everyone with his eyes that he would not hesitate to fight.
In the case of civil war, the subconscious reaction of almost all knights and nobles was to retreat.
No one wants to fight Ryan, he's too strong.
In his heart, the cripple really hoped that General Lane would continue to implement the rank system and turn the knights and nobles into simple landlords, because this was the standard of "using civility to control military affairs", which was very consistent with the political correctness of the bureaucrats and could give Talleyrand such a
Class big bureaucrats bring huge benefits.
"Not even close." The lame man said to himself. When his carriage drove into his manor castle near Mousilon, his servant told Talleyrand that guests were coming.
Guest? What guest?
When Talleyrand entered his castle, he found three people standing in his courtyard.
Three high elves in gorgeous clothes.
A man and a woman, dressed in the most exquisite robes of elf nobles.
The third, another male, was much older than his companions. He wore no armor, only flowing blue robes and a jeweled crown on his forehead.
"Talleyrand Maurice Benister, a citizen of the Kingdom of Charis, Ulthuan needs your power. It's time for you to offer your role to Ulthuan and Assur."
"Go and convince your master Lion Malcador that we need him and his army to go to Sylvania and rescue Her Highness Alishara."
