Morgiana lived in Lane's castle. The Lake God Witch usually lived in a solitary life and spent most of her time in bed recuperating. The third floor of the Baron's castle was originally a private living area, and no one except a few people knew about it.
Morgiana is hiding here.
The whereabouts of the Lake God Witch in Britannia have always been mysterious. Many knights on the expedition searched for her figure in the hope of getting clues to the Holy Grail, but they were destined to find nothing. Morgiana announced through the Order of the Saints that she had been attacked and was seriously injured to rest.
The great nobles of the kingdom and the Holy Grail Knights all got the news. A team of about twenty Holy Grail Knights came to Ryan's territory to protect the safety of the Lake God Witch. Ryan asked them to station themselves at the winery.
The encounter with the Lake God Witch aroused great indignation among the Brittanian knights. Many knights errant swore to seek revenge against vampires and dryads. They yelled and rushed into the forests of Mousilon or Athel Loren,
Never came back.
In the evening, after Ryan had dinner, he and Veronica held hands and walked along the castle grounds.
The baron's castle is now very luxurious and magnificent. All the walls of the castle have been repaired and reinforced. On the outer castle, the cannons made by the dwarves are as bright as new, ready to tilt the fire of death at the enemy. Several teams of sergeants are patrolling the walls. They
Not only are they equipped with melee weapons, but they are also equipped with hand crossbows.
The sergeants usually live in the outer castle. There is an open space between the outer castle and the inner castle. Now there is a huge stable, which is very luxuriously decorated. It is the residence of the pure-blood elf war horse Putao. Several serfs sleep with Putao.
, ensuring that grape needs can be served anytime and anywhere.
Being able to sleep in the same stable as a pure-blooded elf war horse is the highest honor for serfs.
The armory and the training ground are where sergeants usually train. They are already professional soldiers in a certain sense. Ryan stipulates that when in the territory, a sergeant will be given two days off every ten days. When he is in the field for a long time,
When stationed, one day off is given every ten days. There is no holiday during wartime. Holidays will be allocated separately during holidays and the holidays will be taken in turns.
Outside the castle is a huge horse farm. Some horses have been tamed in the horse farm. Today's training has ended. Some horses are wandering around the horse farm. The one that stands out among the crowd is of course Ryan's mount Grape. This pure-blooded elf war horse has a great temper.
Unfortunately, it not only wanted a territory of its own, but also wanted to be free to roam around. Any attempt by the serfs to lead it would be rudely rejected.
Perhaps because of this, this proud pure-blooded elf war horse can carry the heavily armed Ryan. After a long battle, Grape, who has been influenced by Ryan's psychic power, is further evolving. Ryan is thinking about how to let this horse help others.
of mare breeding.
This is hard work. Breeding pure-blooded elf war horses is very troublesome, and even requires the help of wood elves. These elf war horses have unusual tempers, and ordinary mares will look down on them and ignore them. The serfs want to
Try your best to make Master Grape happy, and then carefully let him choose the mare.
Veronica is wearing a champagne-colored wood elf satin knee-length dress, with a black scarf on her chest, a white bow on her dark brown shawl hair, and white stockings on her black stockings.
Suede boots, the sweet face of the Witch of Gloria was flushed with excitement, she was enjoying the hard-earned
A moment of relaxation: "Speaker Margarita said that soon, when the teleportation array in my wizard tower stabilizes, she will send a whole class of wizard apprentices to your territory, and they can help you fight.
, helps you make magic potions and scrolls, and can also help you experiment with various grains."
"When is your wizard tower expected to be completed?" Ryan felt the night wind blowing his hair and clothes. If nothing happens, Winford's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. This will be their last leisure time.
time.
"I don't know. Only two floors have been built so far. My plan is that the first floor will be used for defense and stacking debris, the second floor will be used as a storage room and restaurant, the third and fourth floors will be laboratories and magic workshops, and the fifth floor will be used as a storage room and restaurant.
, the sixth floor serves as the living area and library area for witch apprentices, and the seventh and eighth floors are my private areas.
Veronica introduced the contents of her wizard tower to Ryan: "This will be the most luxurious wizard tower ever built by Congresswoman Gloria before she was forty years old. On the top floor of the wizard tower, I plan to make
A giant war machine that has never been seen before... but there is no budget yet."
"...Don't be anxious, come one by one." The first floor of Veronica's wizard tower covers an area of more than 150 square meters. If it hadn't been for the annihilation of the Aesthetic Society in Marienburg, as many as
For fifty god gold coins (50,000 gold crowns), Veronica really couldn't afford to build such a luxurious wizard tower. You must know that the first floor of an ordinary wizard tower usually only covers an area of fifty to eighty square meters.
"No wonder Teresa was so jealous after seeing your wizard's tower that she spoke in a weird voice. She is currently borrowing money from her mother, and is also planning to borrow part of it from a merchant in Marienburg to build a tower.
Not inferior to your wizard tower." Ryan wanted to laugh after thinking of the sorceress visiting Veronica's wizard tower.
That's called Chiguoguo's jealousy.
The two of them walked along the road, passing by the Chinon River and walking along the river. The rushing water lapped at the riverbank and rocks. The wind by the river was very strong, and the road was very quiet. This world was completely different from the densely populated world in Ryan's previous life.
At night, except for villages and towns, most places are deserted.
"I'm in trouble, Veronica." After walking to a secluded place, Ryan motioned for the two people to stop. There was deep distress on the Baron's face, and he frowned: "Her Highness Morgiana's serious injury caused
The kingdom has lost a person who can unify the power of all dukes. Although she has handed over power to me, but..."
"But no one paid attention to you, my dear." Veronica said with a sweet smile, her beautiful almond eyes full of smiles, and she helped Ryan tidy up his hair that was messed up by the wind.
Morgiana's serious injury caused some uneasiness within the kingdom. Since she herself was not seriously injured, overall it did not have much impact, which stabilized the morale of the military and the hearts of the people. At least the Holy Grail Knights and the nobles knew that she was hiding somewhere.
A place to rest.
But a problem arises. The Lake God Witch's serious injury leaves the kingdom without someone who can unite the nobles of the entire kingdom to fight against the invasion of the vampire army.
Morgiana did delegate her power to Ryan and cut off a trace of her blond hair as a token. However, when Ryan tried to contact the Dukes, he encountered resistance from the vast majority of the nobles, because no matter what,
, the Witch of the Lake is the Witch of the Lake, and Lane is Lane. As a baron, he cannot command the Duke. This is the gap in worldly status.
A baron cannot be hereditary, and in the eyes of the great nobles, a baron still has little meaning.
Facing the ladies' chosen champion, Ryan, who is extremely famous and popular, the Dukes will certainly not be particularly tough. They first emphasize their difficulties, their losses in the chivalry war, and the many threats they have faced recently, and then they tone
We euphemistically expressed that it was not that we were unwilling to help, but that we were indeed unable to help. Some dukes sent several carts of black bread, some sent dozens of soldiers, and some said they were busy with military affairs, and then sent a few
It ranges from ten to a hundred or so gold crowns.
These things are a drop in the bucket in aiding Bordeaux, but they are nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Ryan was helpless about this. It is true that baronet is not hereditary. This title can be regarded as the lowest level of the nobility and the highest level of the knight class. He is just an agent, not the Lake God Witch herself, and just a baron. The dukes can understand
He already did it for the sake of his outstanding military exploits and illustrious reputation.
Only Francois, Duke of Winford, and Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne, expressed support for him. The Duke himself is on the way with more than 2,000 reinforcements, and will arrive at the earliest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Berhemond's army, led by Calard, Count of Garament, has about a thousand men and is still on the road. They will go directly to the front line.
It was almost dusk, and the river was flowing continuously. Due to the influence of the fairy tower in the lake, the water of the small river was very clear. You could see fish and some plankton in the river. Ryan was not too surprised by this.
, he is just a baron, and his secular status is relatively low. The Dukes just let him touch a soft nail, but they did not mean to give him face.
"Don't worry, dear, in the Empire or Nord, you would definitely be in trouble. Maybe they would even drive your envoy out." Veronica and Ryan walked side by side: "You
It’s already great to be able to achieve this level, don’t forget, you have only been in this country for two years.”
"Moreover, your future wife is a marquise, my dear." Veronica moved her long black stocking legs and said with a sour taste in her voice: "She is so beautiful and has a good family background, which makes people jealous.
"
"So do you like Sulia?" Ryan asked casually, indicating that the two of them could return to the castle.
"From now on, it seems that she won't bully me... If she bullies me, my great knight, you have to speak for me. I am just a poor little witch. I don't have a Duke's Holy Grail Knight as my father.
, and doesn’t have a high status..." Veronica quickly pretended to be pitiful.
"... Just don't look for trouble. What I'm most worried about is you, my great witch. Olica is a quiet person. Emilia and Sulia have a good relationship. Theresa... forget it.
Let’s not mention her, I’m most worried about you.” Ryan squinted at the Witch of Gloria: “Sulia’s character will not take the initiative to provoke you, but you...”
"No." Veronica shook her head gently: "It's not easy to get to this point, you know, Ryan."
"That's good."
When the two returned to the castle, the conversation continued. In the master bedroom on the third floor, Veronica relaxedly unzipped her boots and replaced them with slippers. At the same time, she continued to talk to Ryan: "Actually, I think...
There is another reason why the Duke is reluctant to send troops to assist the Duke of Bordeaux, and it is not because of you."
"The conflict between vampires is not like a personal conflict. It is a threat that the entire kingdom faces." Ryan frowned. He also changed his slippers and sat across from Veronica: "What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that Duke Bordeaux, Boderic de Bordeaux, is the prince of Poseidon Mannann and the grand leader of the Poseidon Knights." Veronica said softly: "He is
Dual faith.”
"Yes! This may be an important reason." Ryan nodded repeatedly in appreciation and touched his chin: "This is pride and prejudice. Yes, that's right. The Dukes have long been dissatisfied with Duke Bordeleau.
Why can he enjoy the divine favor of Poseidon Mannann alone and still have the chance to become a Knight of the Holy Grail?"
"And don't forget, my great knight, Bodleucus has the best port in the entire kingdom, but there is also a port in the north that is not inferior to Bodlix, and that is the giant lighthouse of Le Angoulan
The current king of the castle is Richard, Duke of Le-Angoulan, so do you know why Richard has been slow to move the army?" Veronica said with a sweet smile.
"The number of the vampire army has swelled to 20,000. The Duke of Bordeaux is currently leading 7,000 principality troops, including 2,000 knights. The army is stationed at Turis Castle on the Grismoray River near Bordeaux.
, this is almost 70% of the troops of the Principality of Bordeaux." Ryan took out the map and frowned: "The two armies are almost only separated by a river. I don't know why the vampire's main attack target is Bordeaux.
Luo, but..."
"Don't forget, Ryan, the vampires lost an entire flag team of blood knights when they attacked your territory." Veronica stretched out her little hand and pointed at the interior of Sharon Forest: "They are scared."
Witch of Gloria tucked her long hair behind her ears, and her long wood elf gemstone earrings swayed gently with her movements, making her look even more charming: "The vampires are scared, since a whole Blood Knight banner team can attack.
disappeared from your territory, then if more
It’s all useless? A blood knight needs hundreds of years of training, and the blood-red Duke can’t afford to lose, so he will choose Bordeleau, which looks easier to deal with and is closer, because the capital of Bordeleau is
Bodriux is only over a hundred kilometers away from Mousilon.”
Ryan nodded slowly. He must participate in this war. Defending Bordeleau is not only to help Duke Bodrick, but more importantly, to protect himself.
But before that, he had to wait for Francois to arrive to discuss and formulate specific plans.
On the afternoon of the next day, Duke Winford led more than 800 knights and more than 2,000 troops to the Baron of Jean. The baron's 400 troops were also assembled, as well as more than 200 miscellaneous troops sent by other dukes.
The soldiers were all serfs, a few sergeants, and not a single knight.
In the conference room of the Baron's castle, Francois brought his son and daughter, as well as a tall, handsome knight with a goatee. He was holding a cross helmet with a shining unicorn statue on the top and a white cloak.
The bright silver unicorn armor made him look outstanding. He looked less than forty years old, and his eyes were cold and sharp, which made his originally elegant face somewhat deformed. Ryan asked curiously: "This
yes?"
"He is my cousin, Sir Gerald." Francois first introduced him to Ryan, and then said to Jarrod: "Lian, Ryan Macado, needless to say, from now on we are
We are a family."
"Hello, Jarrod."
"Hello, Ryan." Jarrod shook hands with Ryan, and he forced a smile. It was obvious that he was not used to smiling.
