"Big bear! Is it the kind of big bear with brown fur, a round face and a cute nose?" Sulia's eyes lit up, and she asked again and again: "Can you describe it? Mr. Oliver?"
"Um, I'm not sure, Mrs. Sulia." Oliver was actually more afraid of the countess in front of him.
No matter how you say it, Ryan is a Knight of the Holy Grail, a hero and model for mankind, and the champion chosen by the Fairy of the Lake, the patron saint of the kingdom. For a person with great fame and status like Ryan, Oliver knows that there are some things that Ryan is not very good at.
Focusing on management, the Earl himself has to firstly manage the territory, secondly lead troops to go to war, and thirdly, he has to go to the fairy tower in the lake to pray from time to time. He has always been busy with affairs. As long as he doesn't have a big framework for doing things, Ryan usually won't.
Ask more questions.
But Lady Sulia is different. This countess was born in the palace and received good education since childhood. She knows how to deal with businessmen.
Since she began to infiltrate Ryan's influence last year, all businessmen know that compared to the earl, the countess cannot be messed with. At that time, most of the human businessmen who often came to Jean town to do business obediently paid homage to Sulia. Only
A businessman named Antoine thought he was from Estalia and refused to show respect to the countess.
Within a few months, Antoine failed in business, his capital chain was broken, he was saddled with huge debts, and he committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
The two things don't seem to have any connection, at least on the surface.
Oliver doesn't think so, so he always respects Mrs. Sulia very much. There is no way for merchants to fight against the nobles. The empire is okay. After all, the nobles of the empire do not necessarily go to the front line. Big businessmen enjoy a certain status, and
In Britannia, knight lords and nobles are often also extremely powerful warriors, and some lords are even Holy Grail Knights. Especially for Oliver, he dares to say that his entire escort team is no match for Ryan alone.
The reason why he has reached this point is because of Ryan. All he can do is obey and be loyal. He has sent his child to Ryan's court, and the future is still bright.
"Sulia, it won't be long. Oliver doesn't know about this either, so don't embarrass him." Ryan took Sulia's little hand wearing a white lace palace glove and said warmly. The female knight pestered Oliver to ask if he wanted to.
Stop, Ryan knows that Sulia really likes bears. There are already many bear dolls in their bedroom. Among them, Sulia’s favorite is a small brown bear that the fairy in the lake sewed for her. The female knight gave it to her.
He named him "Ryan" and often slept with him in his arms.
Now that she has the opportunity to see a real big bear, no wonder Sulia is excited.
"You will naturally be able to see it then."
That day, Ryan and Sulia visited many places in the entire town. As for the so-called condolences and warnings, they were secondary. What Ryan and Sulia wanted to express by acting together was actually a very strong message.
The political signal is that the earl and his wife have a very good relationship and a happy marriage. There is no need for outsiders to speculate. The two are one husband and wife, sharing weal and woe, regardless of each other.
Until after dinner, Ryan and Lidya Su were still talking about this matter.
"The town has become a little crowded recently, and the speed of the carriage has slowed down a lot." Ryan leaned on the soft sofa chair, and the dark elf Orika stood behind him.
"Well, Ryan, your territory is currently overpopulated." Sulia held the tea cup and took a sip of black tea gently: "The more people, the better. I heard that the security of Devon Town has not been good recently.
very good."
There are three towns under the Earl of Glamorgan, Jean Town, Chalon Town, and Devon Town. Jean Town has a team of Holy Grail Knights and many garrisons to maintain law and order, as well as the Fairy Tower in the Lake and Veronica's Dawn Wizard.
The tower is awe-inspiring, and the security problem is not big. Chalon Town has established the Chalon Forest Patrol Camp, and the security problem is not bad. The security problem in Devon Town is more troublesome.
A larger population is not better, and a larger territory is not better. Ryan lowered his head and thought for a moment before continuing: "That's why I told you before that I wanted to attack Musilon. I need more land."
"Ryan, are you going to fight again?" the little maid Emilia said worriedly, with some complaints on her pretty face: "We finally returned to the territory, why can't we have a good rest for a while?
?”
"Emilia wants you to spend more time with her." Sulia said teasingly with a deep smile in her sea-blue eyes.
"Sister Lidya Su!" Amelia's little face suddenly turned red.
"I can't fight now even if I want to." Ryan knew that his little maid was concerned about him, so he said with a smile: "Apart from anything else, Teresa has not recovered from her serious injury and is still recuperating. The territory just broke up with the northern barbarians at the beginning of last year.
After a big fight, we need to rest now, and as for the attack on Mousilon, it will take a long time to prepare."
Emilia's face looked better now. The little maid was not very willing to see Ryan fighting frequently, and there was always some shadow in her heart.
"Speaking of this, I remember that as the Earl of Glamorgan, you seem to have a claim to a barony?" Sulia thought of something, and the female knight continued: "Is it the Spire Palace?"
"The Spire Palace is ruled by Count Ocasson, a noble who obeys the vampire Count but has not been transformed into an undead. The Spire Palace is located at the intersection of the three regions of the Principality of Bastogne, Mousilon and Bordeaux.
Point is an enclave for me." Ryan frowned and whispered: "Richard's arrangement is nothing more than hoping that I can go and have a big fight with vampires. This will not only be beneficial to the kingdom, but also to him.
favorable."
"It's not exactly an enclave. The Spire Palace is located to the north of a solid stone bridge across the river on the lower reaches of the Grismoray River. To the south is Chalon Forest. In fact, it is already far away from the settlement we opened in Chalon Forest.
It's not too far away. Bohemond, Duke of Bastogne, has no objection to your expansion in the Chalon Forest. He
I don't have much interest in this territory. It's better to give it to others than to occupy it for you." Sulia then analyzed: "The Spire Palace is heavily guarded by a half-undead and half-human force. It will take a long time to prepare to defeat it, and...
...Ryan, I suggest that even if we defeat it, you'd better make a baron there, otherwise you won't be able to control it."
"It should be so." Ryan nodded. After listening to Surya's words, he really planned to ennoble himself. A person's energy is limited, especially in such a dangerous environment in this world. The enfeoffment system is actually necessary. It is too long.
The border lines have to guard against too many invasions, and no matter how strong a country is, it will be brought down by undead, chaos, greenskins, and even human civil wars. This world has never stopped fighting.
As time gradually fell into the night, Orica and Amelia helped Ryan and Sulia sleep in the bedroom. The fireplace was lit in the room, the temperature was comfortable, and the bed quilt had a faint fragrance. The couple got into bed.
, seeing Ryan embracing her in his arms, Sulia, who was wearing a red rose velvet nightgown and showing off her beautiful figure, quickly begged for mercy: "Lian, my husband, please don't come today, okay? Let me rest.
Just one day!”
"Hehehe." Ryan hugged his wife and leaned on the pillow, with a proud look on his face: "Then let's take a day off today."
"Ever since we got married, you've been with me almost every day. Ryan, is it okay with Theresa and Veronica?" Lidya Su leaned on her husband's chest, her face full of happiness, and she whispered
Asked: "I know how much you value me, but..."
"You are the madam, Sulia." Ryan stretched out his hand through Sulia's golden hair and said warmly: "Not only do you know, I know, but I also want everyone in my territory to know that you are
Countess."
Sulia nodded secretly. She remembered Francois's teaching to her, that is, she could give in a little and allow other women to be around Ryan, but the relationship between the old and the new, the relationship between host and guest, could not be reversed.
Ryan's doting on her for so long after their marriage was actually consolidating her status as a lady. The Earl wanted to tell everyone that the lady was the lady. The stability of the backyard was the most important. Only Sulia's status could not be shaken.
Easily suppress those female courtiers and maids.
The couple were affectionate for a while, and Lidya Su thought of something. She said with some worry: "Ryan, I'm a little worried about something now."
"What's the matter?" Ryan held his wife tightly in his arms.
"Father said that the Skaven are a very vindictive race. This time we ruined the Skaven's plan in Helmgart and almost destroyed a clan. I am worried about this kind of evil.
Will creatures come to your territory to take revenge?" Sulia's graceful and beautiful face looked a little uneasy.
"If you want to come, then come." Ryan didn't seem to care: "I'm not afraid of assassination, and you have a gift from your father, so you're not afraid either."
"But what about your army and your subjects?" The female knight was still a little worried.
"I have a brother." Ryan still smiled. Sulia wanted to ask more questions, but now Ryan just smiled and didn't answer.
...the dividing line that only smiles but does not answer...
Early the next morning, Old World, Britannia, Earl of Glamorgan, Redfish Village.
Angron, the World Eater Primarch, awakened from his dream.
Angron's eyes were a little blurry. He was certain that he had dreamed last night about ten thousand years ago, when he followed Horus to attack Terra, and recalled the memories of his conversation with Sanguinius on the wall of the palace.
He persuaded Sanguinius to surrender, but Sanguinius flatly refused, and then the siege of the palace began, and everything was shrouded in beacon fire.
The memories of the past were so painful that whenever Angron dreamed about them, he would feel heartbroken.
But today was different. When Angron woke up from the iron bed made by dwarves, which was more than three meters long and two meters wide, a feeling that made the clouds clear and see the light came from his mind, and then quickly penetrated his whole body.
Angron was a little confused at first about what was happening, but then the response in his body told him why he felt this way. The World Eater Primarch happily raised his big hand: "Come on!
"
"Wha~" The pair of battle axes "Tearer" and "Meat Cutter" placed on the wall flew directly into Angron's hands at his call. Holding his precious pair of battle axes, Angron
Lang released a roar that penetrated the sky: "Ahhhhhh!"
The roar shook the entire stone house from side to side, and the nearby serfs were even blown away by the air waves. Fortunately, Angron controlled his power well and did not kill any of them.
He finally recovered! He has returned to his peak strength!
After controlling his power and roaring for a while, Angron thought to himself, don't collapse my house. Then he stopped, hung a pair of axes behind him, fetched some water from the bucket, washed himself, and opened the room.
Door.
The village elder of Red Fish Village was standing tremblingly in front of Angron's mansion. He knelt down respectfully, trembling with fear: "An... Master Angron, what happened?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just encountered something happy." Angron smiled disapprovingly: "I have caused trouble to everyone. Work hard, work hard, and have a full stomach. Next year will be better."
The village elder thought to himself that the big knight in front of him roared so loudly that the whole village woke up. How dare you not work hard?
Angron's existence is the patron saint of the village. Although this big kingdom knight has a bad temper, he is still good to the people in the village. When he saw that the village elder had not left, Angron knew that he had something to ask for: "
What's the matter? Tell me."
"The village... the villagers saw a huge goat-headed monster and rotten trees deep in the nearby forest! Master Angron!" The village elder asked humbly: "We are worried..."
"No problem, leave it to me." Angron thought to himself, I just want to chop something.
"Thank you very much!" The village elder knelt down again to express his respect.
Angron no longer paid attention to the village elders and villagers, and walked quickly toward the forest far away from Red Fish Village alone.
Sure enough, after spending several hours, Angron discovered traces of corruption in the depths of the forest, stench, rotten trees, land melted into a mass of flesh and blood, and a giant beast advancing in the forest, aiming directly at Ryan's territory.
.
Even in Angron's impression, there were few things that made him feel so disgusted. The land where this creature passed was blackened and corrupted, and it overflowed with terrible evil power, corroding the surroundings incredibly slowly.
It has an incredibly strong body. It looks like a standing giant goat-headed monster, but its face is a rat face. On a pair of big goat horns, it is a physical symbol of the word "destruction", showing an extreme expression of hatred for filth.
A taste for dirty and rotten things.
This is a big demon of chaos! It seems to be a big demon of the Skaven, called the Lord of Disaster or something? Angron stared closely at this extremely evil and unnatural creature. Not only did he not feel nervous or dignified in his heart, he actually felt...
Relaxed and enjoyable.
Just when he was about to chop something, something was delivered to his door!
The Lord of Disaster also discovered Angron. The nightmarish monster was summoned by the Horned Rat. It is planning countless insidious and vicious plans and is preparing to completely destroy this land. It is the incarnation of the Horned Rat in the mortal world! It is for
Revenge comes from Ryan!
Let’s start with the bald head in front of us!
"The big, big horned rat will, will bring judgment to all those who dare to be enemies with the rat god! Yesyes! Human, human, hairless bald thing, diedie!" The Disaster Lord roared, and turned it into a nightmare.
His eyes moved to Angron.
Angron took off a pair of battle axes from his back, and he suddenly remembered his dream last night.
The Primarch of the World Eaters also unleashed his own battle cry.
