Chapter 920 Invalides

Taking advantage of the autumn harvest season, Ryan is less troubled by various internal affairs at this time, because everyone's attention is focused on the autumn harvest, and some of the knights errant who were provoking troubles were taken away by Kalad, leaving the rest

Part of it was taken care of by the Duke of Berhemond. At this time, Ryan was free. He had nothing to do in the Jean Territory, so he decided to come to Mousilon to inspect the Invalides and the Royal Old Guards Manor of Britannia.

.

Morgiana was too busy to leave and did not follow. Aurora and Theresa were too busy collecting information about the old world and did not follow. The last ones to follow were Ryan's Queen Surya and personal maid Orika.

.

By the way, Ryan also brought his son Devon Hill out. This guy is now quite tall and has great attainments in psychic powers and weapons. Ryan recently taught classes in person in the morning, and asked him to follow him at noon and afternoon.

The Guardsmen trained and ate together. I thought Devon Hill would be okay.

After adapting to it, the son actually liked this kind of life. The little boy who was less than ten years old had already shown extraordinary energy and strong learning ability. It is said that Kalad often said that he had been exhausted due to his lack of culture.

There is nothing left to teach Devon Hill.

Because Ryan has been away fighting all year round, little Devonshire is closer to his uncle Angron. It can only be said that he maintains a relationship of respect and admiration with his father. Ryan took advantage of this time to brush up on his son's favorability.

Let him know that Dad is also very powerful. Although he is not as powerful as your Uncle Angron and Uncle Fulgrim, he is still the most powerful person in the old world.

At the end of October, the autumn harvest in Britannia has basically come to an end. Currently, only the autumn harvests in the southernmost Principality of Carcassonne and the Principality of Belion are still continuing. Next, the serfs will sow some crops that can survive the winter.

crop.

Ryan was walking in the Musilon Rong Military Academy. He held Sulia's hand. The King of Knights had a smile on his face. Olica followed him, and behind him were two old guards.

Commander-in-chief, the Eye of Bertrand Tarr and Nicolas Davout.

Behind them are the glorious Old Guards. These soldiers wearing bearskin hats, blue coats and white shirts, with red epaulettes and wheat ears hanging on their shoulders, white trousers and leggings are now

The pride of Britannia, many of them have served in the army

For more than ten years, there was even a former serf named Rothschild who could even be traced to having participated in the battle of Colleson outside Marienburg and returned to Britannia with him. He served fully

It lasted for 22 years, hence the nickname - Old Antique.

Now 45 years old, Rochiel is already a legendary strongman. He was promoted during the Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains. This old guard with a thick mustache refused to be transferred or even serve as an officer. He insisted on following him as a soldier.

His Majesty Lane, it was the same after Lane named him a knight errant.

Due to the rigorous selection process, well-trained training and sense of belonging to His Majesty Ryan, the terrifying combat effectiveness of this army in previous battles has attracted the attention of the whole world. Nowadays, whenever the Old Guard appears on the battlefield,

When on the battlefield, it always boosts the morale of other Brittanian troops and becomes the most terrifying and powerful sight on the battlefield that any enemy can see.

This time when Ulthuan came back, Lane carried out the third reform of the Old Guard. The conditions for entering the Old Guard were at least 10 years of service experience and participation in at least 5 wars. Under these conditions, Lane

The Old Guard was expanded into five battalions, each with about 400 men, including one battalion of halberds, one battalion of broadswords, two battalions of musketeers and one battalion of musketeers and dragoons, totaling 2,000 men.

"Everybody wants to be an Old Guard, everybody, but the King doesn't seem to be going to give us that chance in 10 years, oh my God!"

——Remarks of the Freemen of Brittany

The Invalides houses disabled veterans, and it also serves as a military museum and a place to display Lane's supreme martial arts. It was just built not long ago. Lane walked around for a tour and felt quite satisfied. There are five large courtyard buildings, plus

A large fairy church in the lake. In addition to the church, there is a handicraft workshop for making prints and uniforms and a military hospital that has just been opened in cooperation with the high elves. The high-precision doctors of the Savri Kingdom will provide medical services and treatment here.

This group of stupid students of human beings provide medical guidance.

Les Invalides is adjacent to the cliff coast of Mousilon. After visiting Les Invalides and the Royal Old Guard Manor outside the city, the king decided to have a picnic near the cliff coast. Rich food was quickly delivered to the manor.

"Your Majesty, everyone thinks that your move this time is inappropriate!" Bertrand Tarr, the commander-in-chief of the Old Guard, was wearing a commander's uniform, with more than a dozen medals and medals hanging on the chest of his uniform.

The medal jingled when I walked, but it was a model of endless glory.

Similarly, Ryan also reformed the medal system after returning to Britannia from Ulthuan. The King of Knights announced that starting from today, the power to issue medals and medals will be taken back to the king. Based on this, the medal system designed by Ryan

as follows.

The highest medal of Lady of the Lake (must be awarded by the Lady of the Lake in person).

Grand Order of the Legion of Honor.

Grand Cross Gold Medal, First Class.

The Order of the Lion, Second Class.

Medal of the Order of the Fleurie and the Order of the Bauhinia, Third Class.

In addition to symbolizing endless glory and status, you can also receive special allowances and special treatment corresponding to the medal level.

In addition to medals, Ryan also awarded a large number of medals to many soldiers this time, such as the five-year service commemorative medal, the ten-year service commemorative medal, the twenty-year service commemorative medal, the Blackstone Stronghold Battle commemorative medal, La-

Battle of Messenner Memorial Medal, Eight Peaks Great Expedition Memorial Medal, Obien Great Expedition Memorial Medal, etc.

A man like Bertrand has received more than a dozen medals and medals, and it is not uncommon for soldiers to jingle when walking. In comparison, Davout has only received only a few medals because he has only joined the army for a short time.

Not many, which makes him a little embarrassed. Due to the promotion of the medal system, now

In the army, status has begun to be judged by the quantity and quality of medals and medals. Those with many medals are like Bertrand, who walks with a jingle and a proud expression, not to mention how majestic and respectable he is.

The honors carried by these Old Guardsmen are the envy of even the knights.

"What inappropriate move? Bertrand, half of the words are not allowed." Sulia seemed to be thinking about something when she saw Ryan. The queen took the initiative to take over the words. She was wearing a standard female knight's dress today, with a belt outside.

A blue jacket with gold epaulettes and buttons, and a white lace jumpsuit underneath.

skirt, a pair of long legs wrapped in thick black lace pantyhose, wearing knee-high brown high-heeled boots, the sword of Lyonnais hanging on the waist, and long white lace gloves wearing a golden double-headed eagle wedding ring, bright

Her golden waist-length curly hair hangs down like a waterfall, and she looks like a heroic and noble female knight.

"Everyone has said that since the northern coast needs military protection, Your Majesty should send us there." After Bertrand became the chosen god of Tar, he no longer felt as inferior as before. He smiled at Sulia.

: “What everyone is saying is, how can we be left out of this kind of thing?”

Sulia couldn't help but pursed her lips and snickered. The queen understood that the Old Guards were eager to fight. This army has always been responsible for war, and war is the only way for them to be promoted and obtain rewards and honors.

So, how should I tell them? Sulia glanced at Ryan and saw that Ryan was looking at her with a half-smile. Knowing that her husband planned to let her answer this topic, the queen thought for a moment and then said: "

If the king sends you to defend the kingdom's coastline, who will protect his family and his court?"

The soldiers laughed, and the issue was resolved. The King of Knights had absolute control over this army, and everyone was just asking for a fight.

But Ryan didn't smile. He frowned slightly, and then motioned to the soldiers to prepare a picnic on the coastal cliff. The old guards immediately began to prepare to camp, live, stew and bake food, and at the same time sent out people to stand guard.

Ryan pulled Sulia to sit down, and Devon Hill ran to cook barbecue with the soldiers. The King of Knights looked at his army and nodded with satisfaction at first, but then shook his head with regret.

The Old Guard is a completely professional, carefully selected army that is only responsible for fighting and is supported by the kingdom's finances. As long as this kind of army grasps the selection mechanism and ensures training and military pay, it will be a very special force.

A strong army, and they do not engage in production or business and politics, can avoid diverting attention to the greatest extent and causing a decline in combat effectiveness.

Sounds good, right?

But Ryan also deeply understands that this kind of elite army also has its own shortcomings.

As we all know, since it is a completely professional legion that does not engage in production, business, or politics, the meaning of this legion's existence is war, and the hope of the soldiers for promotion is war.

Therefore, they will desire war and try to participate in war.

As time goes by, this elite army will continue to propose war to their leaders so that they can become the biggest beneficiaries.

But what if the monarch never agrees?

They will be patient at first and will only express some dissatisfaction, but if the time goes on and the monarchs are changed and the soldiers are changed, these elite legions will start to have an idea - since this monarch does not want to

If we want to fight, then we will support someone who is willing to fight.

Once the idea of ​​changing the monarch came up, it was easy to implement it, because these people were almost all soldiers and guards, and they had the most powerful force.

The old monarch has been "replaced", and the new monarch is destined to have an unfair and unstable position. In order to win over this group of elite troops, bounties are often given, or they are allowed to participate in politics.

It is another vicious cycle. As time goes by, this group of people will soon realize that they can get a large bounty and a higher status without having to fight! We have the final say whether the monarch should be changed or not.

Then, after a while, these people changed a group of monarchs, and they finally understood.

It turns out that we are the masters of the country!

After this, this group of people could no longer be controlled.

The most famous Roman Guards, Sudanese Guards, and Mamluks in Ryan's previous life were all gradually corrupted and became hard to distinguish between loyal and traitorous, and eventually became a cancer in the country and had to be eliminated.

However, Ryan also has his own advantages. First, as a primarch, although he is not an immortal, his lifespan is almost infinite (immortal refers to being able to be resurrected indefinitely after death, rather than having an unlimited lifespan).

).

Second, is there still a lack of war in this world? The fear is not that there will be no wars, but that there are too many wars and the intensity is too high.

Third, Ryan's extraordinary personal bravery can also solve this problem well.

Several people sat down, Olika stood behind Ryan, and the knight looked at Sulia and asked: "Is there any news from Kalad?"

"No, Kalad and the others just moved their base from Diana's Manor to the gateway to Curona in the north, to Alençon Castle." Sulia shook her head gently: "According to the instructions of General Meretskov, the acting commander of the Ugor Army.

It was done based on opinions, and Beria should have given that opinion to you to read."

"Well, I've read it. What he said is very pertinent, and he analyzed the Norscans very thoroughly. Yes, I did the same when I was in Nord." Ryan finally smiled and nodded: "Barbarians

Many times they will not attack even though they know that some enemies have weak defenses, because what they care about is whether they can plunder enough supplies and obtain enough heads to sacrifice to the God of Darkness."

"Your Majesty, do you still think the barbarians will attack?" Davout, deputy commander of the Old Guards, raised his own question: "But for now, it seems to be calm along the northern route."

"Chaos and barbarians have no logic at all." Ryan shook his head helplessly. The King of Knights yawned. The fairy in the lake suddenly appeared last night. The goddess, Sulia and Orika teamed up to do some things with Ryan.

"Multi-player sports", the goddess is currently decorating the new palace in Musilon.

Ryan thought that the process was still very pleasant, but his waist was a little sore: "Historically, there are hundreds of agreements reached by Marienburg, the Kingdom of Nord and the Norscans. It is not that the barbarians do not abide by them at all, but as long as Chaos

If there is any oracle from the evil god, if there is a Norscan chief who suddenly comes up with the idea of ​​going south, or if there is a Chaos Lord, Chaos Chosen, or Chaos Champion suddenly announces that they are going south, then all those agreements will be in vain."

"For now, it's better to be careful!"

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

Lane is having a picnic under the beautiful autumn scenery, enjoying a rare good time.

On the Sea of ​​Claws, thousands of Norscan dragon ships carry the Norscan Worldwalker Army, a 33,000-strong army led by Ulfric Wanderer, chosen by the Four Gods of Chaos, heading towards the northern coast of Britannia

March quickly!

"Our mission is to burn the capital city of Kurona, those weak and disgusting chivalrous patients, to ashes!"

"The first target, Chantillon!"

"For the wahe chaos!!!" Ulfric the Wanderer held his own sword, Frostbite, and his body was covered with mortal skulls and skeletons, standing on the bow of the giant Norscan dragon ship,

He shouted at the barbarian army: "Destruction!"

"For the chaos!!!" His response was a cry of fanaticism and bloodthirsty like a mountain roaring and a tsunami: "Destruction!"

The cloud of war is approaching the Kingdom of Knights.
