Chapter five hundred and forty-five the knight on the lake Randuin
"Thank you for your support in this war, King of the Forest. I express my respect and sincere greetings to you." During the retreat, Ryan expressed his gratitude to Orion.
Although Ryan expected that the wood elf was willing to help, he still wanted to express his gratitude for it.
"You owe Islay." Orion's fierceness was revealed, and his words were full of inviolable majesty and wild primitive anger. This anger could be directed at Chaos, or at greenskins and beastmen, but
Can also target dwarves and humans.
Historically, many human expeditions and dwarf exploration teams were massacred after entering the forest, and the wood elves would only release one alive each time.
These people went crazy and even killed their own people. The Athel Loren forest was divided into twelve territories, each ruled by a forest lord, and different territories had different statuses, not only different cultural heritages, but also different beliefs.
The gods are different, and even the environment and the flow of time are different.
For example, take the famous Evernight Woodland, which is an endless night with no dawn seen for hundreds of years. Another example is the Heart of Winter, where winter has lasted for thousands of years.
Therefore, Orion and Queen Alaire, known as the King of Wood Elves, can actually control only the King's Forest located in the center of the Athel Loren Forest. Twelve forest lords formed the Council of the Supreme Lords, responsible for managing the wood elves.
affairs.
These wood elves usually enjoy peace and are a group of absolute isolationists. The only thing they hope is that the mortals outside will not bother us and live their own lives behind closed doors. Therefore, most of the wood elves in the entire old world are legends and legends.
The only characters in the play are Brittany and Gao
The elves and the wood elves have established the lowest level of diplomatic relations. Among them, the high elves are because of the efforts of "One Piece" Fenubar, and Britannia is because it is too close to the Athel Loren forest. The wood elves
Out of desperation and need for a protective barrier, we established diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Knights.
Orion's extremely arrogant words aroused the dissatisfaction of almost everyone. The Britannian knights glared at the wood elves, especially the arrogant Holy Grail knights.
Despite signing a treaty of mutual assistance and non-aggression, Britannia and the Wood Elves have not always been at peace with each other. The two sides once triggered a full-scale war because the roots of the Oak of Ages covered a Holy Grail Church.
Five Holy Grail knights and a woodland lord were killed in the battle, and the wood elves were forced to retreat after paying the price of thousands of deaths.
There is also a vague boundary between the Principality of Palaon and the Forest of Athel Loren. Many serfs often try to establish villages in the disputed area. The response of the wood elves is also very clear. A wild hunt brings these villages together.
All the villagers were destroyed. Decades later, the serfs forgot about the previous tragedy and tried to build the village again, while the wood elves once again went on a wild hunt to destroy everything.
Ryan waited calmly for Orion to finish his words. Now he only felt the burning pain in the wound. The slap from the Destiny Weaver was not so easy to bear. If it weren't for the Maelstrom and the Great Guardian suppressing the power of the Chaos Demon, this slap would have been impossible.
It's enough to kill Ryan.
Ryan is not kidding, his opponent is the Chaos Demon!
The Chaos Demon is not an ordinary powerful enemy, let alone Carlos, the Weaver of Destiny, who is the number one demon under Tzeentch. The Chaos Demon's combat effectiveness is high and low because of the unstable magic wind. In Carlos
After establishing a stable energy transmission channel through the holy object, one person can deal with an army.
"Eslay also owes you." Orion paused for a long time before finishing his words: "We will help you defeat Chaos and the undead. This is a promise made by Eslay, and we will fulfill it. Please abide by it and agree with us."
trade deal!"
Lane is Eislay's only trading partner.
Over the years, the Wood Elves have obtained a large amount of needed materials from trade with Ryan. Ryan's excellent diplomatic skills and good diplomatic relations with the major forces in the old world have enabled the Wood Elves' trading stations to obtain whatever they want.
Things include a large amount of grain, tools and fine weapons and equipment produced by the dwarves, marble, pottery, salt, pig iron, wood, wine and livestock meat.
The Wood Elves responded with furs, handmade products, precious Wood Elf medicines, fine Elf jewelry, Wood Elf fruit wine and Wood Elf handmade clothing that were wildly sought after by the upper class nobles, as well as various precious gems, and returned them to Ryan.
Provides guidance and assistance on the reproduction of pure-blooded elf war horses.
The wood elves are very satisfied with this situation, which is also an important reason for coming to help this time.
In comparison, the trading partners of Britannia that the wood elves were looking for in the past... were really difficult to describe. Since the wood elves would only choose the Holy Grail Knights who were lords as trading partners, this situation often happened.
Wood Elf: "I need this, this, and this."
Lord of the Holy Grail: "I only have one kind, and nothing else. You ask for too much, and I don't have so many things."
Wood Elf: "Can't you get it for me?"
Lord of the Holy Grail: "No way."
Wood Elf: "Don't you have a way to purchase goods? Can't you negotiate with other lords to help us purchase goods?"
Lord of the Holy Grail: "I don't know where to buy it from. I don't know how to do this."
Wood Elf: "..."
Unlike the Lane trade, Oliver, the president of the Oliver Chamber of Commerce, who has the exclusive right to trade with wood elves, will sincerely receive the wood elves envoys and fully listen to their trade needs and special requirements for goods. As long as the wood elves need it, Oliver can basically do it.
After all, if the wood elf's request is really large, Oliver can easily get the goods from all branches in the entire kingdom of Britannia or even from Marienburg.
Trading with the Wood Elves was truly lucrative, and over the years Oliver had become one of the richest merchants in the Old World.
After saying this, Orion didn't say any more words. He returned to the ranks of the wood elf army. Here, the eternal guards and the woodland guards walked side by side, and the wild cavalry and the woodland cavalry were mixed together, patrolling.
Lin Ke and Wildwood Rangers were on guard against foreign enemies. This wood elf army of thousands of people obviously did not trust anyone.
The Twilight sisters riding the forest dragon looked coldly at the coalition of humans and dwarves. Few people knew the origins of these Twilight sisters. Even the wood elves only knew that the names of the sisters were Nasta and Dwarves.
Ellaan, one of them has white hair and the other has black hair. Both of them have very beautiful faces and slim figures. They both wear luxurious enchanted scale armor forged by Vaal, the god of elf craftsmen.
It is said that they are the daughters of Alaire and Orion, one represents purity and nobility, and the other represents primitive wildness.
They felt very unhappy with the pointing fingers of humans and dwarves. Under their orders, the forest dragon spread its wings and rose into the sky.
Ryan gave up communicating with the wood elves. It was remarkable that these autistic people were willing to help him.
He and Francois walked together, talking to his father-in-law every now and then. In the previous battle, Francois fought endlessly to protect the artillery and the Chaos Demon, and had no way to free up his hands to support Ryan and others.
People, and precisely because of the bloody battle between Francois and the Brotherhood of Champion Knights of Quinaris, most of the artillery was well protected.
"How is Sulia doing?" Ryan asked a little embarrassed.
"Sulia's condition is very good." Francois smiled and nodded: "Her physical fitness is very good, and there is a large group of people taking care of her at any time. The lady often talks with her, and her mood and physical condition are maintained.
Not bad.”
"That's good." Ryan's face was a little ashamed, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "I am such an incompetent husband and father. Lidya Su is pregnant, but I can't be with her. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
good."
"But you are fighting to protect humanity and the kingdom." Francois understood this, and his father-in-law patted Ryan on the shoulder: "Without your struggle, there would be no peace. Sulia also understands this.
.”
"Hey, no one knew things would turn out like this." Ryan looked a little depressed.
The Tomb of Landuin is very close to the battlefield, and the army only marched for more than two hours before reaching the tomb.
This is a very simple stone tomb. In front of the tomb is a large swamp, and behind it is surrounded by a few low shrubs.
On the overgrown tombstone, the date of birth and death and the name of one of the first Twelve Holy Grail Knights were engraved. The cemetery was almost completely covered by various weeds and shrubs, and only the words on the tombstone could be vaguely seen.
"The embodiment of knightly virtue, the model of chivalry, Duke Mousilon, one of the greatest Holy Grail Knights, Landuin is buried here. May his spirit be with us forever."
——Lewis, the second generation knight king
The army stopped in front of the cemetery, and most of the Brittanian knights were kneeling in the swamp.
This is the Tomb of Landuin.
He was once the brightest star in the Kingdom of Britannia and the most powerful Holy Grail Knight. It is said that his strength was even better than that of the first Knight King Arthur.
His soul has long since returned to the divine kingdom of the Lake Fairy, and his body was sealed and poured with molten iron. After the resurrection failed, both the undead and Chaos lost interest in this cemetery. Therefore, this cemetery has been abandoned to this day, with only occasional visits.
Some expeditionary knights came here to pay their respects and clean up.
"Landuin, great ancestor, truly perfect man." Bohemond could feel the sword in the stone in his hand trembling. The Red Dragon Duke came to the cemetery and knelt down devoutly: "I pay tribute to you,
Knight on the Lake."
"Salute to you, Knight of the Lake!" Francois also stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of the cemetery.
All the Holy Grail Knights came forward to pay tribute in turn, and Morgiana recited the holy words of the Lake Fairy and bestowed blessings.
Even the king of the forest, Orion, nodded, and Orion said in a rough voice: "Respectable human warrior, I will always remember the time when we fought side by side. A thousand years have passed. The strength and strength you showed at that time
Keep your virtue in Islay's mind, and the wood elves will never forget your story."
Imperial Generals Dietrich and Boris von Zhukov also bowed their heads in silence.
The rise and prosperity of Britannia coincided with the beginning of the decline of the empire. The subsequent Black Death War, the Age of Three Emperors, and the Vampire War lasted for hundreds of years. At that time, Britannia was the most powerful in the old world.
of human countries.
After the Tower of Dor incident, the Kingdom of Knights declined, but the Empire took advantage of the second Chaos Invasion to rise under the leadership of the savior Ludwig. The new Empire replaced the old Empire, and the new Emperor Ludwig brought
It was a great era of prosperity for the empire, and the empire also overtook it.
History is always cyclical and endless.
After paying tribute in turn, the army dispersed, leaving only dozens of people including the Lake God Witch Morgiana, all the Holy Grail Knights, several commanders of the Wood Elves, and Belegar, the leader of the Angland clan. The rest of the army was
Ordered to leave here.
Ryan also came to the tomb and knelt down on one knee. What Landuin did for the Kingdom of Knights in those years of war and war deserved Ryan's high respect for him, and Ryan was the one who wanted to compete for the title of Duke of Mousilon.
He must also pay tribute to Landuin to declare his legal orthodoxy.
After completing a set of etiquette, Ryan stood up and took out Thor's hammer. The chosen champion of the Lady of the Lake had a deep sadness on his face: "Forgive me, Lord Landuin, forgive me."
The Holy Grail Knights remained silent, and Morgiana even closed her eyes.
"Boom!" Thor's hammer hit Landuin's tomb hard, and the tombstone was destroyed.
"Boom!" The cemetery made of molten iron couldn't stop Ryan's war hammer, as the gravel splashed and the iron pieces shattered.
"boom!"
After repeated blows, Landuin's tomb was finally destroyed, and the remains of the greatest first Holy Grail Knight of the past appeared in front of everyone.
Thousands of years have passed, and Landuin's remains have long since decayed. Now there are only some pieces of meat sticking to the bones and fluidized liquid adhering to the bones. And within Landuin's remains, there is a strong
Chaos corruption and a powerful will are still colliding. Next to the body, Landuin's sword "Knights Will Not Die with Unarmed Hands" and lance "Indestructible Lake Light" are placed here.
"This is?!" Everyone looked at Landuin's remains and their color changed.
Only Ryan's face remained normal. He ignored the corruption of Chaos and strode forward, approaching the body. His palms burning with spiritual fire pressed on the dead bones, and the divinely chosen champion of the Lake Fairy purified the entire skeleton.
The sacred radiance of the Lady of the Lake opened the sky, and the power of the goddess penetrated the sky. The Knights of the Holy Grail chanted the name of the Lady of the Lake devoutly, and their mistress also smiled at the Knights of the Holy Grail. The goddess wore a
The low-cut Honey Dew Muse evening dress outlines her perfect figure, and her ankle-length golden hair is dazzling. She reaches out her hand, and a soul leaves her divine kingdom and goes to the mortal world.
This soul is so dazzling and pure, with a golden aura surrounding it. Anyone who sees it can feel admiration from the bottom of their hearts, and a sense of reverence rises from the depths of their souls.
It fell on Landuin's remains in front of everyone's eyes.
He was a mighty knight with an appearance that was so handsome that he did not look like a mortal. He was gentle, generous, pious, and courteous. His whole body was enveloped by the power of the fairy in the lake. The heroic spirit looked at his tomb and the grave sadly.
Silon's current corruption and depravity remain silent.
He is Landuin, the first Duke of Mousilon, Arthur's best companion, and the great Knight of the Lake.
Ryan and the others all took two steps back, waiting for his reaction.
"In the end, I was awakened." Landuin said slowly, with deep sadness on his face: "I am a sinner, and my sin is unpardonable. It was me who made Musilon what he is now.
so."
"But I still have a mission to complete." Landuin suddenly grabbed his sword, roared loudly, and slashed the sword hard to his neck in the eyes of everyone in disbelief.
The heroic spirit's body was cut open, and thick blood mist emerged from the wound on Landuin's neck.
Ryan was stunned and speechless by this scene.
Nothing was over yet. The blood mist floated more and more, and soon, a strong arm of flesh and blood stretched out from the wound on the neck.
This hand holds his own sword "A knight will not die with his bare hands". A middle-aged man wearing a bright silver enchanted plate armor, a black and yellow fleur-de-lis family heraldry cloak, and medium-long black hair
The Great Knight of the Holy Grail was pulled out from the body of the destroyed heroic spirit, and the knight's iron boots fell on the swamp of Mousilon.
His whole body was shining with silver, just like the human gods in ancient mythology who were powerful enough to defeat the great demon of chaos, standing proudly between heaven and earth.
"This is what the lady expects from me. I must fulfill it. I have committed too many sins and I must bear my fault."
"Ryan Malcador! The lady's divine champion! Attack here! If you really want to become the Duke of Mousilon, then defeat me! Defeat me, the first Duke of Mousilon, to prove your qualifications
!" In his heyday, Landuin raised his sword and roared at Ryan: "Draw your sword! Ryan Malcador!"
Ryan nodded calmly, and he motioned for everyone to move away, holding the hilt of his sword.
