In the end, only five of the three hundred were successful. These five people had to wait until the implantation surgery was completed before they could be confirmed as qualified recruits. Such a high mortality rate made Ryan feel inexplicably lucky.
Because for the Gray Knights, this elimination rate is really not high, and can even be said to be a bit too low. Ryan now understands why the Emperor not only did not do anything to the Lady of the Lake, but even allowed her to continue to have contact with Ryan.
Another identity of the Lake Fairy Lilith is the high-spirited Moon Goddess. Her ministry is the moon, hope, dreams, prophecy, wealth and foresight. She is the most popular deity among the elves, although not the most powerful.
But both high elves and wood elves particularly admire and like her, because Lilith's power will bless those elves who face huge challenges or difficult decisions, giving them good luck and hope.
At the same time, Lilith has always been a symbol of purity and a model of forgiveness. The goddess never provides blessings and salvation based on what people have done, but decides everything through their inner thoughts and aspirations. This makes her generally favored by the weak.
Love, and for the elven mages of Ulthuan, Hoth provided them with knowledge, and Lilith provided them with the favor of spellcasting and training in magical skills.
And if the elves make a big mistake or their will is too weak to resist the corruption of Chaos, the only hope is Lilith's salvation.
From a certain perspective, Lilith's power is really in perfect harmony with the creation of Gray Knights.
Ryan spent a little time thinking about it and had the answer in his mind. At this time, the Lake Fairy was joking with her good sister Sulia. As Ryan's power became stronger and stronger, the Lake Fairy could come to the mortal world.
The time in the world is getting longer and longer, and the power that is being summoned is getting more and more. It is a beautiful scenery for two great beauties to sit together. Sulia is also deeply moved by the fact that her goddess is finally going to hold a wedding with her husband.
feel happy.
The fairy in the lake is also very proud, her layout has basically been completed.
Since the palace was very simple and everything was kept simple, the dinner in the evening consisted of a simple venison steak, a few glasses of red wine and vegetable salad. After dinner, Sulia took the initiative to ask Ryan to practice knight swordsmanship with her.
Since becoming the queen, Lidya Su has spent much less time exercising. She occasionally asks Sylvia or others to spar with her, but no matter who it is, they don't dare to take the spar with the queen too seriously, so
Sulia's strength is also firmly stuck at the legendary peak, unable to make any progress.
Ryan and Sulia simply exchanged a few moves, and the king realized Sulia's problem. The problem with the female knight was that she lacked actual combat experience. At the same time, her swordsmanship was special. Because she was a woman, her wrist strength was not particularly strong, so
She often only uses a lance or a knight's sword in combat, and rarely equips a shield, so Angron can't teach her combat skills, and neither can Ryan.
As we all know, Ryan has always used his Thor's Hammer and Nemesis as two-handed weapons, one-handed weapons and dual-wielding weapons, that is, he can dual-wield them like this relying on his physical fitness.
But it doesn’t matter. Ryan knows it. When Fulgrim comes, he can be asked to teach Surya swordsmanship. Unlike Angron, Fulgrim is an excellent swordsmanship instructor. Ferrus, Guilliman, and Pate
Rab can testify.
After giving Sulia a little guidance for an hour, Sulia, who was covered in sweat, hurriedly went to take a bath. By the time the queen wiped her hair and came out of the bathroom wearing a light mocha bright velvet high-definition dress, Ryan had already taken a shower.
It's over, the king is sitting in the office looking at the documents, and the Lake Fairy is sitting on Ryan's lap with a happy face, hugging Ryan's neck, discussing something with him.
Lidya Su moved a chair and sat next to Ryan: "Madam, Ryan, what are you talking about?"
"We are considering whether the expedition to Obion Island is really necessary." The map of the old world was spread out on the table, and several chess pieces were placed on the mysterious Obien Island, which was always shrouded in fog. Ryan frowned.
Brow, after becoming the king, he must personally control the national policy tree and policy direction. The expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountain is his decision, and whether to expedition to Obion Island also involves the future domestic policies and diplomatic concepts of the entire kingdom.
The origin and history of Obion Island is very long. I will talk about it next time when I have the opportunity. What Ryan knows is that Obien Island was once the residence of the Ancient Saint, and there are an astonishing number of Ancient Saint relics and a large number of remains from the Ancient Saint on it.
It was an artifact, but the Ancient Saint regarded it as an important node to maintain the great protection. It rained heavily and was covered with thick fog all year round, until one day, just a few days after the end of the Great Holy War,
Years later, the True Speakers on the island appeared and asked for help from the whole world. The Stonehenge left by the ancient sanctuary to fight against the southern invasion of Chaos had been corrupted by Be'lak, the oldest and first generation demon prince. The True Speakers were no longer able to fight against this oldest and oldest
The powerful demon prince, if Be'lak succeeds, Albien Stonehenge will be reduced to a chaotic teleportation array, and a steady stream of demon legions will descend on the mortal world.
The order races all over the world basically responded to this war, and the greenskins, dark elves, beasts and northern barbarians joined Be'lak's camp, and the two sides fought a battle. In the end Be'lak's plan failed, and he was killed.
After being exiled, the high-elf fleet and the Brittanian knights obtained a lot of spoils and left with satisfaction. The Imperials continued to try to gain a foothold on Albien Island, and finally settled under the former royal chief wizard Sernus-Gol.
The new province of Newland was established through the efforts of Mann.
The island of Obion is now a swamp and ruins. The True Speakers and the Imperials have some scattered strongholds in the south of the island. In the north, there are greenskins, dark elves, dark apostles (corrupted Truth Speakers) and northern barbarians fighting in a melee.
battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that after many years, there are still many "Old Sage riddles" remaining on Obion Island. As long as you answer them correctly, you can get the treasures hidden by the Ancient Sage.
"Ryan, your main focus now should be on Ulthuan and other things." The fairy in the lake gently kicked off her shoes and put on the gentle and jade-like black stockings painted with cyan nail polish.
Putting her foot into Ryan's hand, the goddess blushed slightly: "For example, our wedding. Besides, there is no benefit to the expedition to Obien. It is a famous swamp. The only place of some value has been occupied by the empire. In addition to the expedition
What else can be done with looting?”
"But we are indeed short of magic ore. Rather than spending money to buy it from others, it is most profitable to dig it yourself or plunder it." Ryan reached out and gently kneaded the soft snowy feet of the Lake Fairy wrapped in black ultra-thin stockings.
, smiled and said: "It's rare to have such a good target for robbery. It's normal for Lao En to have a heartbeat. He needs a big victory to prove himself."
The fairy in the lake only said a few words and then stopped.
Sulia immediately agreed with the Lake Fairy's point of view: "We have discussed this issue, Ryan, the kingdom needs time to rest, and we still have many things to deal with now, Musilon Gun Factory, the Britta you proposed
Royal Bank of Nia, your brother Fulgrim has arrived.
Come, accept the Haimen Pass ironclad ship, and go to Marienburg to seek revenge. In the future trip to Ulthuan, it is really unnecessary to plan a great expedition at this time. Moreover, if we try to establish a stronghold on Albien Island, then
It is a very heavy burden on the kingdom's finances."
"Yeah." Ryan finally accepted the opinions of Sulia and the Lake Fairy and gave up the expedition to Obien Island because the cost was too high and the harvest was too small. It was enough to plunder occasionally. There was no need to go to war. The Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountain
War dividends also take time to digest.
Ryan also thought about the three knights' expeditionary forces in the Arabi Desert. Now the three expeditionary forces basically only occupy a few important ports and rich oasis areas along the coast, and rarely go deep into the interior. And over time, this
The three Knight Expeditionary Forces have actually become local snakes, and they no longer listen to the Kingdom of Knights. If it were not for the belief in the Fairy in the Lake that maintains their centripetal force, they would not have the idea of independence. In addition, the victory of the Great Expedition on Eight Peaks Mountain was shocking.
All over the world, they will definitely not take the initiative to come and pledge their allegiance.
The reason is very simple. These three knight expeditionary forces are basically self-sufficient in supplies and have independent administrative models, financial rights, and personnel rights. Why should they listen to the Knight Kingdom?
There are two reasons why they are not independent. The first is that they can get additional troops from the Kingdom of Knights, and the second is that they are just conducting a holy war of chivalry in the name of the Fairy of the Lake.
"Sulia." The fairy in the lake seemed not to want to continue this topic. She blinked at Sulia: "I have a proposal."
"What proposal, my lady?" Sulia asked curiously.
"Don't you think Ryan's beard has grown again?" the Lake Fairy said playfully.
"I agree." Sulia immediately understood what the Lake Fairy meant. The female knight smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter. Ryan will agree to our little request. Otherwise, he will go to Orika tonight.
Well, I want to sleep in the master bedroom with the lady."
"You guys, just stare at my beard all day long!"
"Okay, okay, I will sacrifice my beard for the sake of this kingdom. Whatever sins you have, I, Ryan, will bear them all!" A certain knight king spoke righteously and said righteously.
…………I am the dividing line carrying sin…………
At the same time, in the far north, the chaotic wasteland.
The Chaos Wasteland is a desolate tundra zone located in the Old World, the New World, and northern Cathay. According to legend, this is a place inspired by the immortal gods, and it is also the eternal home and lair of countless nameless and invisible monsters. In fact, this place
The indescribable sight has long exceeded the ability of mortals to understand. It is no exaggeration to call this place a "myth".
If a cartographer takes a compass and draws a circle in the Arctic Circle with the North Pole as the center and the Sea of Claws as the natural dividing line, then the north of it is basically the legendary Chaos Wasteland. Of course this place is inhabited.
Among the local Norscan tribes, the Kurgans
, the Huns regard it as an extremely sacred place. The men and women of the northern tribes all dream that one day they can set foot on the road to the real wasteland, overcome the indescribable terrifying monsters and difficulties from the gods, and finally obey the God of Darkness.
,become a member of the Chaos Champions.
The further north you go, the closer you are to the Realm of Chaos. For the Chaos Gods, the entire world is like their "playground", especially the Chaos Wasteland, where their mortal believers fight against each other for the supreme revelation of God.
Conquest, every day, the wasteland trembles with all kinds of huge conflicts and wars, the scale of these wars cannot even match the most incredible battles in the old world.
Just above the entire Chaos Wasteland, the most conservative estimate is half a million or more Chaos Warriors, Chaos God Chosen Warriors, Chaos Champions and other northern barbarians who neither eat nor drink, trying to please the evil god through killing and glory.
People, they are always in conflict and fighting. Each of them has great ambitions and dreams of becoming a powerful warrior and going to the far north to serve the Chaos Gods. Those who are lucky enough to
Those who survive will be forever changed, becoming unrivaled warriors in the north and even the entire Old World, and their compatriots will welcome them back to the people with passionate roars and rough songs. The Chaos Champions and Chaos who have been blessed by the gods
The Chosen can also lead their armies to fight, raid, and adventure in the south, for it is better to seek glory there than to seek glory in a land where monsters outnumber humans.
Here, the war never ends. If a northern barbarian continues to fight in the chaotic wasteland, then they have only three endings: dying in glory, being abandoned by the evil god and turning into a chaos egg, or ascending to the devil and becoming a demon prince.
This war will last forever.
unless……
Unless at a certain moment, the four gods of chaos reach a consensus, they will jointly bestow their powerful blessings on a mortal, allowing him to lead all people and things in the world who are connected to chaos to move towards the goals they have set.
.
This mortal will be called the "Eternal Chosen of Chaos".
And just today, on the south bank of the Chaos Wasteland, in the twisted territory where the terrifying winds of chaos and subspace echoes resound repeatedly, there is white snow, rolling lava, and twisted twisted plants growing out of the ground anytime and anywhere.
Seconds later it became barren again.
Here, the barbarians regard the mortal world as a "dream" and an "unreal world". All Chaos believers firmly believe that the goal of every Chaos Warrior is to reach the real world: the reality that transcends the gray and pale existence of this world.
world, heading to the realm of the Chaos Gods.
Death and glory are the keys to the door to this world, and one can only complete the journey by proving himself in the "dream".
And just today, the Chaos Wasteland Fortress called "Northland Royal Court" welcomed an unexpected guest.
The Northland Royal Court is a royal court established by a powerful warrior chosen by the Chaos God. Here, he has gathered more than 50,000 Chaos warriors to serve him. There are many rumors about this warrior. Some people say that he is a proud man.
Prince Norsca, the father of the king
A trophy born from an encounter with a demonic succubus under the blood-red sky. Some people also rumored that he came from the famous Norse castle - Dragon Castle. He was a powerful chief of the Norse tribe. Under the temptation of power and chaos,
Plunge into chaos at the whispers of the gods.
But what we all know is that this king was not satisfied with becoming a powerful chief. Driven by the dream of immortality, he went to the north to find ancient power and glory to gain the appreciation of the Chaos Gods. After he actually completed countless crazy Chaos adventures, he gained
the power he sought.
He entered the realm of chaos alone. Under the strange passage of time in the chaotic space, no one knew how long he spent, but there was no doubt that he was favored by the four gods of chaos.
He rushed into the leprous wizards' guild chosen by Nurgle God alone, and defeated the Nurgle wizards who were covered in ulcers and pus. He used his will and body to resist the touch of the terrible disease, and overcame the pain in his body to show his strength and
Courage, he gained the approval of Nurgle himself.
He faced off against one of the oldest Chaos Two-Headed Dragons, winning the fire dragon's awe through lies and deception, and Tzeentch himself witnessed his wisdom and generously showered him with praise.
He faced a four-armed, two-headed giant, without using any weapons. He subdued the giant with just his hands and made it swear allegiance. Slaanesh himself couldn't help but let out a strange cry when he saw this scene.
Finally, the king ushered in the trial of Khorne. The Blood God sent his wife Valkyrie, and the two Norscans fought a battle that lasted for days and nights in front of the Blood God's temple.
His wife almost killed him, but he still tried his best to fight back and defeat his opponent.
Since then, he has become the true king of chaos. He single-handedly established the Northland Royal Court and ruled countless chaotic creatures who were once humans or simply not humans.
But today, as he was sitting on a throne made of bones and trophies, recalling the glorious past, a messenger of the Demonic Bird God, the chosen champion of Tzeentch, Cha-Zan Ek brought a piece of light news.
Arrive at the Royal Court of the North.
"Your Excellency Motkin, I have been ordered by the Demonic Bird God to inform you of a piece of news."
"Your hometown, Longbao, was destroyed by the southerners. Thousands of people were not spared. All the graves of your ancestors were dug up and the ashes were scattered for you."
"The murderer's name is Oleg von Zhukov, the leader of the Empire's Oster and the eldest son of the elector of Varmir."
