Proof of the Sun King

Chapter 305: , the plight of the kingdom's north

?A dark ceremony, this ceremony is not only strictly bestowed by the **** of darkness, but also an inevitable vent of **. Aegir's tent is shaken in the temple of the goddess in the lake on the island of Landry. It only came to an end in a few days.

There is no doubt that they will give birth to a son of darkness who, with the blessing of Khorne, can be born in as little as two months or less.

Now, Khorne God's Choice Champion Aegir, Chaos Wizard Chakoy, Chaos Champion Kovindev, Aegir's nephew, and Aegir-Yar, who is also Chaos Champion, are gathered in the ruined temple to discuss the next step. trend.

"We'll go south, we'll kill any Breton we see, we'll destroy everything we see, until my child is born, and I'll celebrate with the blood of countless southerners The birth of a son." Aegir sat on his black skull throne and said to several Chaos champions and Chaos wizard Chakoy: "But before that, I need to wait for the follow-up army to arrive here, Kovindev, tell me , how long until my army arrives?"

"There are still about five days." Chaos champion Kovindev put the big axe at his feet, and his face was engraved with multiple lines of oil paint, as well as the mark of Chaos, which was a symbol of him as a champion of Chaos.

"Then we'll wait a while longer." Aegir decided to wait for the arrival of Scalins' army.

There is no doubt that the 5,000 barbarian troops around Egil are sufficiently elite warriors, but Egil deeply knows that although the barbarian warriors are brave, it is an indisputable fact that they lack heavy siege weapons.

When the Chaos Mammoths of the North and the Chaos Hell Cannons of the Chaos Dwarves come to the front lines, it will be the end of the Southerners!

…………

Dalheide, Duke of Leonasey, still doesn't know anything about the north. Dalheide is struggling in his own court. The serfs in the north have launched a riot and occupied the castle. He is still planning to prepare troops to regain lost territory. He didn't particularly care that Landry Island had temporarily lost news.

The Duke of Dalhead is still planning how to organize an army to suppress the rebellion of the serfs.

At the same time, at the Holy Grail Knight branch in Curona, the Holy Grail Knight Commander Jules received a dream from the fairy in the lake.

A huge barbarian army has landed on Landry!

After hearing the news, Eulers, who knew that the matter was serious, quickly got up.

At this time, it was still early in the morning, and it was still dark. Curona in the early morning was extremely quiet, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Jules woke up from his sleep. He put his hands on his chest and gasped for breath.

"My lady...you entrust me with such an important task...I will definitely live up to your expectations." Eulers muttered to himself, and the quilt was drawn from his body, revealing his scarred body. Body.

Eulers stroked his beard. He was several decades old, not young.

A pair of pure white jade arms stretched out from behind him and wrapped their arms around his neck: "What's the matter, dear, don't sleep for a while?"

A beautiful woman in a tulle nightgown hugged the Holy Grail Knight Commander from behind.

"I received an oracle from the lady, Anna, I want to enter the palace to see His Majesty Richard." Eulers stretched out his hand and pressed it on the woman's hand. His burly body was displayed in front of the woman, and his eyes were dazzling. The bright light filled the room.

"The oracle of a lady?!" This woman was Euless's lover, Anara, sister of Callard, the Count of Garamente in the Duchy of Bastogne. After she heard the oracle of the fairy in the lake, she immediately knew that something was going on. occur.

"It's an emergency, Anna, I'll go first, you can continue to sleep." Eulers got up and started to change his clothes.

"No, the lady's order is above all else, let me help you." Anara also got up when she saw this, her eyes shining with love, and began to put on a full set of equipment for Jules.

A set of ornate plate armor comparable to a work of art was removed. Every inch of the surface of the armor was intricately detailed, pasted with ancient scriptures, and each detail was inlaid with delicate silver craftsmanship. The cloak of color fluttered in the wind, lined with soft, fine fur, and fastened to the chest by a large gold brooch in the shape of a holy grail.

After Anara put on countless prayer accessories and holy objects on Jules, she patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, it's time for you to go."

Jules nodded silently.

When the sky was light, the Holy Grail Knight Commander forcibly entered the palace by relying on the privileges of the head of the Corona branch of the Holy Grail Knights.

An hour later, Curona Palace, restaurant.

The table, which is more than ten meters long, is covered with a white tablecloth, with bread and breakfast on it, as well as honey and cheese.

The gray-haired Richard was wearing casual clothes. He picked up the hot milk and said to the Holy Grail Knight sitting next to him: "Jules, you shouldn't bother me at this time."

The old king coughed a few times. He didn't sleep well during this time. Even if the king could sleep on the softest bed in the whole kingdom, with a feather pillow imported from the high elves, Richard kept going back and forth at night. Fu, this may be due to age, or it may also be because of the recent series of things that have been in my heart, tossing and turning.

At the beginning of the year, there was a major political tide caused by the defeat of Kasfann, a tug-of-war for several weeks, and then a serf riot and a large number of escaped slaves. There was even an open rebellion of the serfs and occupied the castle.

All these things left Richard feeling exhausted, and the king struggled to bond the precarious relations within the kingdom, not only between knights and serfs, but also between knights and knights.

"I'm sorry, my majesty, but the oracle came from the lady, a huge army of barbarians has landed on Landry Island, they slaughtered thousands of their subjects, and destroyed the temple of the lady at the same time, We must immediately organize an army of knights and go to reinforce the Principality of Leonathay, otherwise Lord Dalheide's army will not be enough to fight against this terrible army of Chaos, the lady asked me in a dream, saying that the enemy this time is stronger than ever." Jules did not have much. Then, he went straight to the subject, and the Holy Grail Knight put down his knife and fork and said to Richard.

"Ding!" Richard's hands trembled a little, and the silver fork fell to the ground.

"Why...Why do bad things always come together?" Richard's face was filled with sadness and anger: "The scum of chaos... Really will look for opportunities, the kingdom is very weak now, Jules, you know?"

"I understand." Jules is not ignorant of the political situation, on the contrary, he is very clear about the current predicament facing the Knight Kingdom.

"You understand...you understand, you don't understand, dear Jules, Lady's Holy Grail Knight Commander, the northern part of the kingdom suffered heavy losses in this serf riot, security is unstable, I need a lot of troops to maintain law and order, and now you But take them away." Richard shook his head, and the king said slowly to Eulers: "Do you know how much impact this will have?"

"My Majesty, we have no choice. The invasion of Chaos must be contained, and we must face the enemy head-on!" Eulers' eyes were bright, and he looked straight at Richard with determination: "Your Majesty, Chaos is the kingdom of knights. They must be eliminated first, otherwise the entire kingdom will fall into flames, and countless people will be slaughtered!"

"I don't need you to remind me, I know what is the most urgent task, and I know which enemies are the strong enemies that the kingdom should really pay attention to!" Richard retorted a little irritably. The king picked up the silver knife and fork and placed it on it hard. On the table: "The threat from Chaos has been told by my father since I was a three-year-old child!"

"...Your Majesty, I was rude." Eulers was surprised by Richard's anger, he immediately realized his rudeness, and quickly apologized.

Richard pursed his lips, he closed his eyes, his body seemed to be shaking with anger, and he tried to restrain his emotions.

Jules looked serious, and his figure was like the sun emitting the light of piety. He came with the will of the goddess. He would fulfill his loyalty and obligations to the lady, and he was waiting for the king's answer.

"Yules, sending troops is not that simple... I said that the kingdom is very weak now, and the long-term riots have made the law and order very unstable. If I announce that the army will be summoned because of the invasion of Chaos, it will definitely make people panic at this juncture. The number of knights and troops in Curona has dropped to the lowest point in nearly 20 years." Richard took a deep breath and continued: "Also, there is another important issue, and that is the grain in the grain depot. Not many more."

Jules nodded cautiously. Much of the grain that had just been harvested in the north was looted or burned by the rioters before it could be turned over. Even if it had been collected, the workers sent by the merchants in Marienburg had to be paid. The expenses paid by the serfs for harvesting themselves will be much higher.

The security is unstable, the number of troops is insufficient, and the food reserves are low. If the current knight kingdom wants to assemble an army of knights to go on an expedition, it will face panic and low morale.

However, just as Richard said, the king also knew what the threat of Chaos was. Facing the invasion of Chaos in the north, the king must respond to the call of the fairy in the lake and send reinforcements.

After a long silence, Richard told Jules all the difficulties he faced. The Knight of the Holy Grail is not that kind of idiot. Jules thought for a while and said to the king: "My Majesty... We can Asking for help from the dukes of the south, the political situation in the south is relatively stable, whether it is His Excellency Behemond of Bastogne, or His Excellency François of Winfort, and other dukes, their territories are politically stable, To remain prosperous for a long time, there is more than enough to support us.”

"Hey, I understand, personal grievances and internal affairs views are put aside in advance. The most important thing in fighting chaos is unity." Richard nodded slowly: "I will write a letter to request troops and supplies from the south. assistance."

"...Assemble the army! Jules! In any case, we cannot let Chaos set foot on the goddess's land!" Richard stood up, and his old body seemed to burst into a faint shadow of the former glory: "I will Assemble a large army in the name of the king, and this army will be handed over to you to command, and you can take as much grain as you see in the grain depot."

"I have only one request of you, Jules, to bring back victory."

"Yes!" Eulers stood up proudly, he looked up at Richard, then turned and left the palace.

Richard looked at the voice of Eulers leaving and nodded.

"The land of the goddess must never be trampled by the scum of chaos!"

After the king hastily finished his meal, he came to his throne room and began to write a letter. In the letter, he asked the dukes in the south for help. Several letters were sent to Bethmond, François, and Baudric. , Theodoric...and Ryan.

After a few letters were written, Richard picked up the parchment. He took out a quill, dipped it in ink, but put it down quickly, looking at the written plea for help on the parchment, and smiled wryly.

The quill was picked up, put down, picked up, put down repeatedly, trembling fingers and the changing look on Richard's face telling the king's struggles.

From an emotional point of view, the king did not want to write a letter for help. This was a blow to his personal prestige and the kingship, but Brittany was different from the empire. In the empire, a powerful elector could directly Ignore the emperor's order, no matter whether the order is reasonable or not~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In Britannia, although the dukes also enjoy an independent status, but under the spirit of chivalry and devotion to the fairies of the lake, Richard knows If you write a letter asking for help, the dukes in the south will definitely respond.

The king looked up silently and looked back. The portraits of the past knight kings were behind him, watching him, the first knight king "The Unifier" Arthur, the second knight king "Reckless" Lewis, the third knight king " The White Death" Guillaume, the fourth-generation knight king "Greenskin Killer" Ron, the fifth-generation knight-king "Young Man" Louis, the sixth-generation knight king "The Strong" Philip... until his last knight king , the "tyrant" John II who was brutally pulled down from the throne by the witch of the lake **** led by the Holy Grail Knight.

John I and John II were both denied by the fairies of the lake and were chased for the throne of knights, so Richard is the ninth knight of Britannia according to official records, and his last knight was Rose. The portraits of Knight Taylor, John I and John II were all erased, leaving a white frame.

"Hey, the most difficult character to write in the world is your name." Richard suddenly sneered, he took a deep breath, grabbed his right hand holding the pen with his trembling left hand, and finally wrote his name down .

"Someone, send these letters to the Holy Grail Cathedral!"

"Yes!"

…………

It took more time to gather the army than Eulers had imagined. It took a week or more for the knight army to assemble more than half of them in Curona. The three thousand knights and 20,000 troops that Eulers envisioned were only assembled now. 2,000 knights and more than 13,000 people.

He understood now why Richard was so concerned about it.

"Can't wait any longer! Assemble the army!" I want to chat with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
