Time goes back five hours to the old world, Britannia, the Duchy of Mousilon, and the Spire Palace.
An army of more than 4,000 people was stationed in the Spire Palace for defense, and a large number of sentries were sent nearby for reconnaissance. Ryan thought that the vampires would at least send some of their men to investigate and try to attack the supply line.
No, since the Black Knights at the rear were defeated by Ryan, Mathhubard really ordered the withdrawal of all troops. This shows that from a certain perspective, Mathhubard already considered the Spire Palace to be "lost territory".
He has given up on reclaiming this place for the time being.
And Ryan did not plan to take the initiative to attack, because first of all, his army was not large enough. After the defense battle of the Spire Palace, his original army of only 5,000 people had been reduced to more than 4,000 people. This was led by Sulia's cousin Antelm.
With the support of hundreds of people.
Secondly, after a previous war, Ryan's army was exhausted. They needed time to rest and recuperate. In fact, after the defense battle of Spire Palace, most of the soldiers and knights had gone through three to five days of rest and training.
Then he gradually recovered from fatigue.
Generally speaking, if an army suffers more than 10% casualties without collapsing, then this army has got rid of the stage of stragglers. If an army suffers more than 30% casualties and can persist, then this army is absolutely capable among humans.
It can be called an elite army. The danger of the Battle of the Spire Palace was that the morale of the entire army relied on the personal prestige of Ryan and Morgiana. Even if Ryan
However, it should be noted here that among humans, the same cannot be said for dwarves. An ordinary dwarf army can persist with nearly 50% casualties, and some elites can even continue to fight with a casualty rate of more than 80%.
The elves are worse than the dwarves, but Ryan has seen the soldiers under Teclis. He dares to say that even the high elves' militia will have stronger combat effectiveness than the human regular army. As for the Phoenix Guards and the Sword Master of Hoth,
The maids of Avalon, how can the human army
The only ones that are good at it are the Holy Grail Knights and the Gryphon Knights. The White Wolf Knights are even worse, because the White Wolf Knights don’t have good horses. Those followers of the wolf god Ulric always like to complain that if they had good horses
Horse, the combat effectiveness can definitely be improved to a higher level.
Regarding this point, Brittany does have an inherent advantage. When the Brittany came to this side of the Gray Mountains, many pure-blood elven war horses left by the high elves and their descendants, mixed-blood elven war horses, were
This fertile land is teeming with people.
Of course, the Bretons accepted the elves' heritage with a smile, and the imperial people had strong opinions on this. They believed that the Bretons should share the elves' heritage, while the Brittany people were dissatisfied with the empire's unwillingness to share the dwarves' heritage.
He was still worried about the secret of the gift of gunpowder.
In Belegar's words, humans are actually a race that is trying hard to dig out the heritage and absorb some nutrients from the glorious era of elves and dwarves to survive.
From a certain point of view, these words are too spicy and harsh, but Ryan thought that these words did have a certain truth. If it were not for the pioneering of the elves and the introduction of civilization, human beings would not be able to spend just a few days from slash-and-burn farming, growing hair and drinking blood.
There has been a glorious civilization for hundreds of years. To this day, the laws, medicine, science, agriculture and handicrafts of all human countries are deeply influenced by the elves. In fact, including texts and customs, humans learn and imitate the elves.
And the dwarves brought the secrets of metallurgy, architecture, mining, industry, and gunpowder.
In Count Ocasson's bedroom on the top floor of the Spire Palace, Ryan was chatting with his female courtier Theresa about this matter.
After capturing the Spire Palace, Ryan's strategy for the future is to rest directly in the Spire Palace and improve the defense. If the vampire takes the initiative to attack, he will attack head-on. If the vampire does not take the initiative to attack, he will not take the initiative to attack because he has to wait until the spring plowing is over.
Gather a large army to attack Mousilon City along the Grismoray River.
Ryan can't really be so confident that he dares to attack the castle that the Brittanians failed to conquer after nearly three hundred years with four thousand men, right?
Therefore, Ryan and others have been resting in the Spire Palace recently. He also took the opportunity to have more contact with the soldiers and dwarves. Although Belega does not like to live in such an environment where "the sky can be seen", the Lord of the Eight Peaks Mountain
The king was used to wandering around, and according to Belegar, there was one
This time he and his men lived in the Troll Cave in order to hide. It was full of stench. Belegar and his men were shrouded in the stench all night. Belegar, who was terribly uncomfortable, was about to do this.
He recorded it in the Book of Hatred, and afterwards he killed the troll with his own hands.
So why did Belegar hide in the Troll Cave? According to Belegar, he encountered a situation that required a "strategic shift." The stench in the Troll Cave effectively made "the green bastards think less" and "avoid a meaningless victory."
.
Ryan understood.
It's not easy for Lord Baylor, he fights and loses every time, and he fights and loses every time.
He was chatting with Theresa about a question related to the knowledge of high elves.
Today, the sorceress is wearing a long Estalia sea blue overlapping dress, with her long black hair and butterfly pattern glasses. Her slender red phoenix eyes have a quiet and charming temperament. Teresa is wearing a
A white fox velvet waistcoat, and under the skirt
Wearing a pair of long legs wrapped in thick flesh-colored pantyhose and silver pumps, she was complaining to Ryan about the problems she encountered: "Only after I got the original of the elves did I realize that we had lost it in two thousand years of inheritance.
How many things have been taken away!”
Having known Teresa for more than ten years, the sorceress has now fully matured and begun to act on her own. In fact, neither Teresa nor Veronica is the kind of independent woman who particularly needs the support of a man.
She can handle her own affairs, such as Veronica. She became self-sufficient after building the wizard tower with the help of Ryan. Ryan never interfered with the wizard tower matter.
Teresa is slightly inferior to Veronica in this aspect. Compared with Veronica, the sorceress does not know how to "take advantage of the situation", or in other words, she is less willing to fight like Veronica.
I'm going to deal with things as a female courtier of Lane.
Ryan quite appreciates this aspect of Teresa. Obviously the sorceress plans to establish a branch from scratch. As an ice sorceress, she has paid a lot for choosing to come to Britannia.
sacrificial.
The sorceress placed a thick book on the table: "This is the original "Book of Galan"."
Teresa then took out an equally thick old book and put it on the table: "This is our "Book of Galan". I compared the two books myself. It turns out that these two books exceed 80% of the
The content is different.”
Ryan took the book and flipped through it, smiling bitterly.
The origin of medicine in the empire and other countries in the old world is usually believed to come from the works of Gaeran, a high elf scholar and master of medicine. A few years before Charlemagne established the empire, the illiterate people in the empire decided to inherit all the works left by the elves, including
This is the most comprehensive pharmacological encyclopedia at the time that records the origin and efficacy of medicinal herbs - the Book of Gaelan. It is the most frequently cited information in diagnosis in the medical community.
However, two thousand years have passed and all the original manuscripts of the book have been lost. No one knows the contents of the first edition and whether countless copying descendants understand the original author's original intention. Most of the contents of the Book of Galan passed down by mankind have been lost.
It has been extensively deleted, either with good intentions or with bad intentions. The Book of Galan now circulated in the hands of humans has changed beyond recognition, but humans still regard it as a medical theorem and do not allow questioning.
"According to Guélain's theory, we should treat it this way."
“Undeniable” statement from the medical community
Relying on the relationship between Ryan and Teclis, Teresa obtained the original copy of the Book of Gallan from the White Tower of Hoth in the Kingdom of Savri, a high elf. At the same time, Teclis also sent a large number of high elves that had been used in the past two thousand years.
With many medical and magical research results, the sorceress wants to re-learn knowledge in this area and correct many problems.
"This is very good. This will be a huge contribution to the history of medicine." Ryan nodded repeatedly and smiled: "I will say hello to the Church of the Goddess of Mercy and ask them to cooperate with you...Ms. Aurora should bring a copy.
Back to the Gloria Council?"
"Yes, mother promised that she would not use the high elves' things to gain a lot of profits, but these precious books will help the parliament to establish its own medical system to a great extent." Theresa said with some embarrassment:
"I forgot to tell you, I..."
"It doesn't matter." Ryan shook his head, and he took the sorceress's hand: "Since it is shared by Tigris, you and Veronica naturally have the power to deal with them. I can't take care of everything, especially
Lesa, I hope you are like Aurora."
Unexpectedly, after Ryan said this, Teresa raised her eyebrows: "Are you saying that I am not as good as my mother? Or that you appreciate my mother more than me?"
"I didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong." Ryan laughed dumbly and said quickly: "I mean that I am very optimistic about your future, dear Theresa."
"Hmph~" The sorceress snorted softly, and she ignored the matter. She thought for a moment, then whispered and held Ryan's hand: "Are you free tonight? I'm in the Book of Galan.
I have made many interesting discoveries, can you come over and listen to me?"
"Lian wants to discuss military affairs with me tonight. I'm afraid I can't come to your place, Ms. Teresa." Before Ryan could reply, the sound of high heels hitting the wooden floor came from far and near, and the Lake God Witch Morgiana
Showed up, Morgiana is wearing ivory cheesecloth today
The soft and elegant long skirt with slanted slits is antique and full of classical sentiment. When getting along with Ryan in private, Morgiana's temperament will become more quiet and elegant. Her green eyes first stared at Ryan and Teresa holding hands.
hand, and then stared at the sorceress's outfit.
Obviously, this woman specially dressed up to meet Ryan! Of course Morgiana knew that Teresa didn't like to wear skirts or stockings, she would only dress like this when she was with Ryan.
"Oh? Your Highness Morgiana, you and Ryan have been 'discussing' the military situation for a week, right?" The sorceress sneered angrily: "Every time I come to see Ryan, you have to discuss the military situation with him. It's been a week.
Didn’t we discuss the outcome?”
"The situation in war is always changing." Morgiana sat directly next to Ryan. The Lake God Witch said in a cold tone: "I have to constantly deduce the battle situation with Ryan. This is not an area you are good at, Ms. Theresa.
?And didn’t I ask Ryan to spend the night at your place the night before?"
"This is not the time we agreed to allocate!" The sorceress was unhappy.
"We are in a war now. There is no time to allocate. Everything is serving for victory! To regain Mousilon and fight for the lady!" Morgiana also responded tit-for-tat, and the Lake God Witch pointed out that now is the time of war.
, not based on the distribution agreed upon at the turkey banquet.
Ryan wanted to say something, but the two women glared at him to indicate that it was none of his business.
Regarding this point, the sorceress could not argue with the Lake God Witch. The two women discussed it privately for a few words. After agreeing on the terms, Teresa got up and left.
As soon as the sorceress left, Morgiana immediately got into Ryan's arms. She sat on Ryan's lap, her beautiful feet wrapped in white stockings swaying back and forth under her skirt, with a blush on her face: "I want to eat something tonight.
What? I'll cook it for you to eat."
"Anything is fine." Ryan smiled and hugged Morgiana's waist to make her sit more comfortably, complaining secretly in her heart. After capturing the Spire Palace, Morgiana arranged for herself and Ryan to live in a room at the top of the castle. On the surface,
They lived in separate rooms, which was fine during the day, but at night she clung to Ryan and almost never let go, making sure he paid enough public food before she fell asleep.
As the first choice of the Lake Fairy in the sanctuary, Morgiana naturally has very good physical strength. If it weren't for Ryan's excellent physical strength and amazing energy, he might not be able to cope with her. Even so, Ryan is in pain and happiness.
The harem is really not open casually.
Morgiana and Ryan made out on the chair for a while, then there was a knock on the door of the room, and Ryan gently motioned Morgiana to get up: "It's Juan, the stuff has arrived, I'll go out first."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Morgiana knew about this. She blushed and put down her skirt from her waist and smoothed the wrinkles of the stockings on her beautiful legs, then turned and entered the inner room.
The door of the room opened, and Juan's young face was revealed: "Sir Ryan, the transport team's car is here!"
"Okay, let's go take a look together."
The two of them walked down the tower together. Outside the window, the golden sunset shrouded the streets of the Spire Palace. In the beautiful light of dusk, the streets of the Spire Palace were also dyed golden.
In the distance, there seemed to be a melodious chanting sound, which was the sound of praising the fairy in the lake.
Along the broken streets of the Spire Palace, Ryan and Juan walked outside. A new transport team delivered a hundred fire blunderbuss, and Ryan was ready to take a look.
Hu An was wearing a full set of Sun Knight armor. He looked at the setting sun and dusk and suddenly spoke.
"It feels so peaceful, and there are no vampire armies nearby. It's so different from Magritte."
"Yes, probably all of Musilon's combat power has been transferred to Richard's Castle." Ryan replied casually.
"But those are no longer important!" Juan said enthusiastically.
"You're in such a good mood!" Ryan complained, and the young man in front of him looked full of energy.
"Of course! Mousilon is about to be saved, and everyone is working hard for it!" Juan replied happily: "So I have to work harder!"
"Ah~ yes." Ryan lowered his head and thought.
He has been planning to attack Mousilon for many years. Now as long as the spring plowing is over, he will summon an army to completely eradicate this cancer that has harmed the Kingdom of Knights for nearly three hundred years.
Juan is right, all my efforts have not been in vain, and now the whole of Britannia has been rejuvenated due to my efforts.
In the future, as long as we don't stop, the road will continue to extend...
Ryan continued to think, this was a transport team, but the carriage rushed out of the path deep in the forest at an extremely fast speed, and then there was a harsh brake sound.
