Chapter 253 This time you should go further with a 5000-word chapter!
PS. This chapter is 5,300 words long. I hope you all enjoy reading it!
PS. I saw someone complaining that the Red Duke is weak. What I want to say is that it is actually because the protagonist is already very strong, and the Red Duke himself is not particularly powerful. If you look carefully at the history I described before, the Red Duke has been
Defeated many times, he just escaped quickly.
As long as the sorceress's teleportation technique is interrupted, these people will not be able to escape today. Manfred's face is full of hatred, for the second time, this time he must kill Ryan!
At this moment, Ryan moved. His whole body was filled with powerful spiritual energy, and his eyes were shrouded in whirlpools of spiritual energy.
He was recalling the psychic skills that the Emperor taught him. Ever since he was tricked by Manfred, he had been planning to give the vampire count a hard blow. Now, this plan has come.
This ability can be used by the Emperor and Malcador. There is no reason why Ryan can't do it. However, the consumption of this ability is too great. He can only use it once in a battle.
"Kill him! Kill Ryan Malcador! For Amber Wallace!" The blood knights gathered and five or six spears stabbed towards Ryan.
The tips of the spears pierced together. However, something happened that shocked all the blood knights. Ryan's body exploded in the light blue psychic light and turned into countless fragments. The spear seemed to have stabbed, but there was nothing in front of him.
Nothing.
This scene shocked everyone who was fighting.
There are still three seconds before the teleportation spell is activated.
Immediately, all the bright fragments suddenly condensed and appeared behind Manfred. It was Ryan! He traveled through the space incredibly, and the goddess of revenge penetrated Manfred's chest from behind, and black blood spattered.
There are still two seconds left before the teleportation spell is activated.
"Ahhh!" Manfred was hit hard by a blow and covered his chest with his hands. His offensive was interrupted. Ryan immediately pulled out the Nemesis and yelled: "Alfred, Jerod! Let's go!"
Manfred was thrown towards the Blood Knights by Ryan. Alfred and Jerod immediately gave up the fight. They fought to get a sword in the back and jumped towards Theresa. The Blood Knights were hit by Manfred's
The body was knocked down.
There is still one second before the teleportation spell is activated.
"Let's go!" Teresa reluctantly raised her staff. The teleportation spell she had prepared for a long time finally took effect, and the three men touched the sorceress's staff together.
A yellow glow illuminates the camp.
Then, everything fell silent.
…………
Duchy of Bordero, Turis Castle.
A burst of yellow teleportation light lit up in the middle of the castle, and several people fell to the ground from the void.
"Who?!" The appearance of several strangers aroused the castle defenders' extreme vigilance. The Poseidon knights completely surrounded the intruders with their weapons unsheathed.
"It's me!" Among the four people who fell, only one stood up. The Holy Grail Knight Commander's emblem on his chest showed his identity. The Poseidon knights immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency Ryan!"
"We need a doctor here!" Ryan reluctantly stood up and shouted to the nearby soldiers. Teresa's magic power could not support long-distance teleportation, so Ryan had already planned to teleport directly to Turis Castle.
Come inside.
Many castles do not welcome uninvited teleporters and have restrictions on them, but Ryan is prepared in advance.
Teresa had used too much magic and she had completely passed out. Alfred was lying on the grass in the castle with his eyes blank. He weakly said to his side: "Are you dead?"
"Not dead yet!" He was answered by Jerrod's gritted teeth.
"Ryan! Jerrod!" Francois and Bo Derek rushed over quickly, and several lake god prophets and doctors immediately stopped the bleeding of Alfred and Jerrod.
A prophet from the Lake God also came up and tried to treat Ryan, but Ryan stretched out his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.
What he took out was the head of the Blood Red Duke and the Sword of Aquitaine.
"This is?!" Francois and Bodrick's eyes widened: "The head of the Red Duke?!"
"I ended him." Ryan picked up Teresa and said softly: "In the name of a lady, I ended him completely."
"The Blood Red Duke has been enthroned, and the siege weapons have been completely destroyed." Francois touched his beard and narrowed his eyes: "We have won this war! Well done, Ryan!"
"Thank you, Ryan." Bo Derek couldn't help but smile. This was the best news he had heard in a while.
"You've worked hard too, Gerald, and Alfred." Francois nodded.
"Fighting for the lady is our duty." Jerrod was very weak. Among the people involved in the mission, he was the most seriously injured. He was covered in blood. After a little inspection by the Lake God Prophet, he knew what kind of hard battle Jerrod had gone through.
, the deepest wound was only a few centimeters from his heart.
Alfred's injury was relatively good. The paladin itself is a profession that is particularly resistant to fighting. At the most critical moment, he activated the holy shield and saved his life. However, his paladin plate armor was completely destroyed and he was killed.
The destroyed shield was simply thrown into the vampire's siege camp.
Teresa was held in Ryan's arms. The divinely chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake looked at the pale sorceress who had fallen into a coma, and sighed softly. Teresa was willing to follow him to the front line and stay together to break up the rear.
In order to protect herself, she even overused her bloodline power to fight Manfred.
The sorceress never expressed her feelings in words, but her actions told Ryan everything she wanted to say.
"Your lover? Is a powerful wizard." Francois said with a smile when he saw Ryan unbuttoning the sorceress's leather coat, helping her take off her boots and cotton socks, and carrying her onto the bed originally arranged for Ryan to rest.
The Duke himself has several female courtiers, including the prophet of the Lake God who just treated everyone's injuries, who is also his lover. Francois didn't think there was anything wrong, but he was a little surprised that Ryan was the chosen one of the Lake Fairy.
Champion, why didn't you choose to let the Lake God Prophet serve him?
But since the fairy in the lake didn't say anything, Francois couldn't help but ask.
"Not yet." Ryan shook his head gently. Teresa's body was seriously overdrawn, and the sorceress may need to rest for several months.
There are still an army of vampires outside the city. Ryan and others are injured again and cannot leave the castle for the time being. They can only settle down and clean their wounds with water blessed by the Lake God's prophet to prevent the vampire's sword from being poisoned or corrupted.
After Ryan took a shower and changed clothes, Francois was already waiting for him in his bedroom: "How's it going, Ryan, are you okay? I want to take this opportunity to talk to you."
"It's okay, I'm not seriously injured." Ryan shook his head. He had some minor injuries, but they didn't bother him.
The room in Turis Castle was very simple, with only the most basic daily necessities and furniture. The attendant brought in a lot of white bread, vegetables and a lot of meat. Francois touched his beard elegantly. He was dressed in blue.
White-striped mithril full-body plate armor
, wearing a shiny blouse, his face could not hide his praise and love for Ryan. Facing his future son-in-law, he became more and more pleasing to the eye: "Lian, you really bring me surprises again and again.
, this time, your position as earl is stable."
Ryan devoured the food. The high-intensity battle made him feel hungry. However, after hearing Francois's words, Ryan stopped his behavior with some doubts. He took out a napkin and wiped his mouth: "Can kill
The Blood Red Duke has indeed done a great job, but...will Richard be willing to give me a knighthood again? Last time I saved Her Majesty Morgiana from Manfred, His Majesty Richard didn't react at all.
"
"What? Do you feel psychologically unbalanced?" Francois said with a smile: "You are not satisfied with being the lady's chosen champion and owning the lady's tower?"
"You can sit without words when you win, and you can avoid it when you lose without words." Ryan gently said a famous emperor's saying.
The meaning of this sentence is that fighting against darkness and eliminating evil is nothing to write home about, because this is the basis for our survival in this world, and similarly, there is nothing easy to explain for failure.
You must bear the consequences of failure yourself.
"I'm just confused because our King didn't respond to the previous merits, but why can you be sure that I will be promoted to earl this time?" Ryan raised his own question.
"I can understand this meaning, Ryan, you surprised me again." Francois nodded, and the Duke said: "But you obviously made a mistake. Regarding saving Morgiana, our Majesty
You don’t have to reward me, but since you killed the Blood Red Duke and burned all the vampire’s siege equipment, our Majesty has to reward you, and you must reward him heavily.”
"Please teach me, my Duke." Ryan's face became serious now, and he solemnly asked Francois to teach him.
Ryan is already very sophisticated and mature in terms of human relations, but when it comes to the games between nobles and the intrigues of the palace, there is obviously still a gap between him and Francois.
"You saved Morgiana. It's not difficult to reward you, but what happens after the reward? How will our Majesty balance his power? The power between the Lake God Witch and the King is originally obscure. Normally, the King and the Lake God Witch
The boundaries of power between them are very blurred. The two seem to not interfere with each other. The king is the main one and the Lake God and Witch is the assistant. But you must not forget that the Lake God and Witch deposed the king more than once and then appointed a new one.
King." Francois' sea-blue eyes were full of wisdom.
Ryan suddenly realized when he heard this: "Yes, everyone does his or her own thing. I only saw that I rescued Morgiana, but I didn't notice the balance between the power of the king and the power of the Lake God Witch."
"Yes, from a certain point of view, Richard will even be grateful to you. Because of Her Highness Morgiana's serious injury, he is freer, but if he rewards you, how will the kingdom's court balance? If you sit next to me
If you stay in your position for twenty years, you won't
There are so many questions." To Ryan, Francois never hesitated to give his advice: "But on the other hand, if you kill the Blood Red Duke this time, our King must express something, Ryan, I
Let me ask you, from whom does the king’s power come?”
"In a traditional sense, the king's power comes from the conferment of the lady." Lane chose the most standard answer.
Francois raised his lips: "Ryan, what you said is not entirely correct. Yes, the king was given by the lady, but the king's authority was given by all the nobles in the entire kingdom. If Richard cannot get the support of the nobles,
And support, he has the title of king but can't even mobilize a team of knights, so what's the use of being a king?"
"Every knight in Britannia forms the aristocratic system of the entire kingdom. If you want to command all the knights in the entire kingdom, it does not depend on whether you have the title of king, but on whether you can make the whole kingdom convinced.
"Francois sat on the chair and whispered to Ryan: "The power lies with the people below, not above, otherwise the title of the king will be just a castle in the air."
"So, in the previous chivalry war in Arden Forest, I advised you to take a step back, because at that time you didn't have much capital to fight for anything, but this time, I think you have to go further. The Blood Red Duke has brought us too much
What a painful memory. Your killing of him was what everyone expected. You deserve to get what you want.
Something else, otherwise the knights in the entire kingdom will have objections. Richard originally only had that pitiful authority. With his intelligence, he knows that this time he will not only reward you, but also make an exceptional promotion. Only in this way can the entire kingdom's knights
The noble is satisfied, it's time for us to move forward, Ryan." Francois smiled.
"I see."
Inside the city, Ryan and Francois were having a secret conversation, and outside the city, they were in the camp of the vampire army.
Manfred covered his chest with his hands in pain. The vampire count who was stabbed in the back left a terrible scar on his chest. The white purifying inflammation penetrated into his body continuously against the bones and rotten flesh.
No matter what method the Count Vampire tried, he could not extinguish the terrible flame. Finally, when the flame burned close to his heart, Manfred had no choice but to cut off his wrist - he tore off all the flesh burned by the flame, and then
Breathing heavily.
"The Red Duke is dead, his soul was destroyed, and he will never be resurrected." The death of the Red Duke shocked the entire vampire force in Mousilon, and the Lich King Arkhan had to rush to the front line immediately.
"Ryan Malcador and his companions teleported into Turis Castle!" Manfred covered his chest with his hands. There was a terrifying huge wound on the vampire count's chest. He struggled and said: "The siege weapon was destroyed.
No, we can’t capture Turis Castle!”
"Ahhh! It's Lion Malcador again!" Lich King Arkhan leaned on his staff, with anger in his tone: "Time after time, he always ruins my plans...can kill
Red Duke, that team of blood knights must have been destroyed by him."
"He is injured now and is trapped in Turis Castle... Arkhan, this is an opportunity, a good opportunity. The war failed, but we still have the possibility of making this country feel pain, especially if Lian Ma
Cardo feels the pain!" Manfred yelled unwillingly, and he gave a suggestion: "We are now breaking camp overnight and passing through the Chalon Forest. We will slaughter the entire territory of Lion Malcador! We will
Bringing him painful memories that he will never forget!"
Lich King Arkhan hesitated. The green flames in his eyes swayed back and forth, and he was a little hesitant. Turis Castle has tens of thousands of troops, elite city defenses and dwarf artillery, and Francois, a Holy Grail knight at the Holy Domain level, is here.
, the Green Knight has just appeared here, and it is no longer possible for them to capture Turis Castle.
On the contrary, all the elites of the Baron of Jean were deployed, the territory's defense was empty, and even Ryan himself came to the front line.
Moreover, the Lich King has always suspected that Morgiana might be recuperating in the Baron of Jean.
Arkhan was wavering in his heart. Seeing Manfred's determination, he finally nodded: "Just do what you said."
"But before that, let's find a way to deceive the defenders."
…………
At the same time, inside the Charon Forest, three golden lights fell from the sky. Under the forest, Angron, the Primarch of the World Eater, and two Emperor's Imperial Guards were already waiting below: "Father, Lord Caul, and...
…Guilliman?”
The majestic figure of the Lord of Mankind fell to the ground. His expression was serious, and the supreme majesty was swirling around him. Guilliman, the Primarch of the Ultramarines, made an incredible cry: "An... Angron?
Now! Oh, I...I really don’t know what to say..."
Seeing that Angron had returned to his original self, Guilliman burst into tears.
"Hey, Guilliman, you are also the regent now, why do you still like to be emotional like that sissy Fulgrim?" Angron was very excited, and he gave Guilliman a warm hug: "Nice to meet you.
You, my brother."
In the huge instrument, Fulgen, who had become a demon, was still screaming.
"I'm... very happy too, Angron." Guilliman also embraced him enthusiastically. Angron patted Guilliman's shoulder hard, and there was a sound from the finely crafted power armor.
"Where's Ryan?" The emperor saw his two sons hugging each other, and there was some fluctuation in his eyes, so he looked away.
"Ryan went to the front line to deal with the vampire army." Angron let go of Guilliman and said to the Lord of Mankind.
"...It's okay. We have other things to do here this time. We are not in a hurry to go back. It doesn't matter if we wait for a few days." The emperor said calmly.
"Then come with me. I recently got some plump tuna and some coffee beans from the south." Angron then motioned for everyone to follow him, and the two Imperial Guards lifted the huge instrument that sealed Fulgrim.
I got up and followed the footsteps of several people.
The group of people arrived at the safe house in the forest valley. The sky was already a little dark. Angron took the emperor and others to sit down in the open-air courtyard by the creek, boiled water, and then ground coffee beans and gave them to the emperor and others.
Guilliman served two cups of hot coffee: "Come, father, Guilliman."
In early summer, when the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the breeze was blowing through the woods, Guilliman comfortably picked up the cup, took a sip of coffee, and sighed: "It's so beautiful, I feel like I'm back in Macragge."
The Emperor was looking at Angron's collection. Various heads were placed everywhere. He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Even the Lord of Mankind had not tasted authentic coffee for many years: "
It tastes good, Angron, you can make coffee now too."
"Really? Hehehe!" Angron was like a child who had been praised by an adult. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself. This was really out of place for a big man over two meters tall, but Angron was really
He is like a child, eager to be recognized and praised by his father.
After a while, the Imperial Guard brought a large basin of milky white fish soup and placed it in the middle of the wooden table.
"Try my handiwork, father, Guilliman. This is tuna fish head soup. The grilled fish steak will be here soon." (To be continued)
