Proof of the Sun King

?Ugol cavalry archers? !

Both François and Duke Baudric present brightened their eyes.

Brittany, the country of knights, has the number one heavy cavalry in the old world. Naturally, the power of these cavalry goes without saying.

However, since the national policy tree chooses to raise the knights with the power of the country, the combat effectiveness of the armies other than the heavy cavalry will naturally be low.

It doesn't matter if the infantry is not strong enough, because it is the knight's group charge that decides the outcome of the war.

In terms of light cavalry, Brittany has rangers who are promoted from serf infantry regiments. These rangers often hold privileged positions such as prison guards, patrol captains and militia captains. Their status is equal to or even slightly higher than that of sergeants. The ultimate goal of a serf's lifelong desire, for a serf infantry, it may take many years of dedicated service, and at the same time, it has an excellent performance on the battlefield, and it is necessary to meet a fair knight lord to be promoted.

These rangers are unlikely to have the opportunity to ride the fierce horses of the knight, but it is a great honor to ride the farm horse and the knight on the battlefield together. In many folklore, the rangers have been due to years of excellent service and bravery. His performance was later promoted to knight.

In fact, from the establishment of the country for a thousand years to the present, only five serfs have been promoted to nobles in Brittany, and only three have been promoted from serfs to nobles with knightly titles.

If a serf wants to be promoted to a knight, he needs two procedures, one is the king's decree, and the other is the oracle of the fairy in the lake. Double approval can only be promoted.

Farther away, what really moved Ryan and the others was that even the Rangers, there were very few rangers who could mount and shoot. In fact, except that the Duke of Montfort, Vercard, who Lane knew, had a ranger team that could mount and shoot - the Montfort Watchers, no other dukes of Brittany had a decent ranger team that could mount and shoot.

In actual combat, having such a highly mobile cavalry archer will provide a lot of convenience to the war.

The Ugor cavalry archers of Kislev were one such army.

As mentioned above, the Kingdom of Kislev is located in the north of the empire, and where the Chaos Wasteland borders the northern wasteland. Generally speaking, the northern border of Kislev is the Linsk River, that is, from Erengrad to Puerto Rico. On the Lager line, in fact, a large number of Mrs. Keisler also lived on the other side of the Linsk River. These people are called the Ugol people.

The Ugor people are the first line of defense against the invasion of Chaos in the North. They have been at war with the northern barbarian tribes who believe in Chaos since birth. These brave nomadic tribal warriors have learned horse archery, machete and spear from birth. Skill, one of the best light cavalry in the old world.

"The Empire is willing to let us, uh... use the Ugol cavalry archers?" François became interested, Duke Winford touched his goatee with a look of interest on his face: "How can you Convince the Ugol to serve us?"

Ivan the Griffon Duke and the Great Alchemist Geert glanced at each other. They thought that Emperor Karl Franz expected it well, and this condition could really convince the Bretons.

"Do you know the Kislev Wing Cavalry Corps? This army is now serving our Emperor." Ivan spread his hands, the Griffin Duke with long black hair and long black beard said quite proudly: "This is The most powerful army of Zhikeslev is currently serving under the emperor, why does Brittany think that we can no longer provide you with a team of Ugor cavalry archers?"

"Well~" Ryan lowered his head and thought about the cause and effect.

After the Great Holy War, almost the entire territory of Kislev was destroyed, and even the imperial palace of Tsar Kislev was destroyed by the hands of Chaos. At that time, Tsar Bokaha was deeply moved and knew that Kislev's army alone could not always fight against Chaos. He took out all the property of the Tsarist family, imported a large number of firearms from the empire at a high cost, and then hired imperial engineers at high salaries to train firearms troops.

Bokaha's formation of a musket army at all costs almost bankrupted the kingdom's finances, and the Kingdom of Kislev could no longer afford the military expenses of a legendary army with a long history - the winged cavalry regiment, which already had a semi-independent status. Completely independent, this elite force from the bottom of the box of the Kislev Kingdom has served under the Emperor for a long time, only swearing to return to Kislev in the event of a major threat to his hometown and face the threat of Chaos.

"Even the Winged Cavalry Corps serves under His Majesty the Emperor. What is the difficulty of a team of Ugor cavalry archers? It is nothing more than a letter." Duke Griffin Ivan said simply: "Many people are willing to fight, Especially for those Ugor tribes who can't get enough to eat in the north of the Linsk River, fighting for food in exchange for food is already a common thing for them."

"So this is the condition of the empire?" François looked a little interested, but only a little bit: "According to you, we can also send people to hire Ugol cavalry archers."

"No, I'm sorry, but I still want to tell you directly, hiring Ugore cavalry archers is not as easy as you think." Boris, the elector of the white wolf, said solemnly: "You don't understand at all, How bad is the discipline of the Gore cavalry archers, they like to break into nearby villages and tribes to vent their vent at random, and Kislev also stipulates that they must be provided with delicious food and drink wherever they go, They don't have laws, and even if you go to Kislev and hire the Ugols, I think they will cause more trouble than they will benefit."

"How will the empire guarantee that we will get the Ugol cavalry archers we want?" Ryan then questioned.

"Many provinces in the northern part of the empire have experience in hiring Ugore cavalry archers. The empire will select those who are obedient, willing to abide by the spirit of the contract, and will not harass the villagers everywhere. If you are not satisfied, the empire promises to Guaranteed exchange, guaranteed return, how about it?" Ivan the Griffon Duke continued.

Ryan had to admit that the conditions offered by the empire were indeed tempting and convincing, and he was a little moved.

"That's it, let's talk about it today, and talk about the rest tomorrow." It was getting late, and Francois offered to rest and talk about it tomorrow.

"Okay, we have reached a lot of agreement today, and it's time to digest it." The empire also agreed, and they did talk a lot today.

…………

At night, in the gardens of the castle courtyard of Helen Hild.

Francois and Lane, dressed in the silk dresses of the great nobles of Brittany, are walking in the garden. There are only two Holy Grail knights on the rammed stone road. Walk slowly behind.

It was already October, and after nightfall, the temperature in Helenhilde was very low. In a withered garden, the cold wind blew through the clothes of Lane and Francois.

"...Are you still used to it? Ryan, they all came to attend your wedding, and it turned out like this?" Francois smiled and said to Ryan, the old man didn't look back, he walked forward on his own: "Will you be a little disappointed?"

"That won't happen. This is a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, stand at the negotiating table, and calm down to negotiate." Ryan shook his head, and he followed behind Francois: "I just have some regrets."

"Pity?"

"Well, I originally wanted to talk to the godfather about the empire, but the godfather said that the matter is not over, he can't see me privately." Ryan looked at the dark night sky, the bright moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, only this year The thirty-year-old Earl was a little disappointed.

"You have to learn to enjoy the process." François didn't seem surprised at all: "Chaos is eternal, green skin is endless, and for thousands of years, human beings have long understood that stupid civil wars only benefit evil. , so everyone has learned to reach consensus at the negotiating table, and you know very well what is our own, what is our friend, and what is our enemy."

François's implication is that no matter how good the relationship between you and the empire is, you are already a great noble in Brittany. You can learn to avoid suspicion and do well.

"Speaking of which, Francois, do you think the proposal to hire Ugor's cavalry archers is feasible?" Ryan asked tentatively.

"Since the Empire can guarantee the quality of its troops, and it can be returned or replaced, why not?" Francois pondered the question: "In any case, the Ugor cavalry archers are definitely better than our rangers. Much more powerful, with these cavalry archers, reconnaissance and harassment are very convenient."

"But what about the King of Knights?" Ryan raised his concerns.

The belief in chivalry is deeply rooted in Brittany. The knights of this country are more willing to use their own power to destroy strong enemies rather than relying on external forces. Therefore, knights rarely hire mercenary groups or mercenaries from other countries. It is the army of the empire that can be hired by the laws of the kingdom. Of course, the excuse is not hiring, but in the name of cooperation, because the kingdom of knights and the empire are allied.

This time, Ryan intends to hire Ugor people, which are not imperial people, and it is not easy to make excuses.

Ryan and Richard have always had a bad relationship, and the king would definitely not be willing to start this for him.

"You didn't learn anything from Hubbard?" Francois' face was serious, but there was a smile in his eyes: "This is not like my strong son-in-law who is always smart and knows how to exploit all kinds of loopholes."

Ryan burst into laughter.

The territory of Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, is located in the southernmost part of Brittany, bordering the western part of the Black Mountains, the Kingdom of Estalia, and the Kingdom of Tyrell in the south. Harassed by greenskins, rat people, and beastmen, it was impossible for the army of the Duchy of Carcassonne to ensure that every place on the long border had sufficient garrison strength. In this regard, Hubbard came up with a solution.

He ordered the serfs to herd sheep on the borders of the principality, thus forming a special occupation "Carcassonne Shepherd", these shepherds will play the role of a layer of security belts, guarding against possible invasion.

Then, he sent people dressed as sheep herders, crossed the border of Carcassonne in the south, and contacted the mercenary group of the Tyrell Kingdom, hiring those mercenaries to help him guard against the invasion of greenskins, rat and beastmen.

But the Knight Kingdom does not allow nobles to hire these mercenaries, so how do you pay them?

Hubbard used a very clumsy but simple and effective trick.

One day, a group of Tyrell mercenaries passed by the border of Carcassonne. At this time, a shepherd accidentally came to the border with sheep. He came to the mercenaries in order to chase his sheep, and accidentally dropped one. Money bag filled with gold krona.

"Oh, I accidentally lost the money. It's really unfortunate. It seems that I can't get the money back."

Tyrell's mercenaries were paid for this and helped Duke Hubbard guard the border areas.

"Lord Hubbard's method is obviously not applicable to us." Ryan said helplessly: "Carcassonne borders Tyrell, Lord Hubbard can do this, Kislev, where the Ugol people are located. Even if the boat takes three weeks, how can they show up with us for no reason?"

"But I think you've already made up an excuse." Francois stared at Ryan.

"You say... how about the Ugol Circus? A Ugol Circus from Kislev accepted our invitation to come to Brittany for a long tour, bringing joy to the serfs and nobles, How about asking Kislev to make two bears, the kind that can dance?" Sure enough, Ryan said with a wicked smile, "Everyone will like it, if they encounter an enemy attack, these Ugor people with a sense of justice will spontaneously Fighting to protect the circus tour, I don't think anyone would have an opinion!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"It's all forced by these rules." Ryan also laughed along with him.

After laughing, Francois said to Ryan: "Wait a minute, Julius, Gerald and I will all go to your room, let's have a meal together as a family, Suria will come too, let's order a hot pot , I've got the chefs to prepare the ingredients."

Hot pot is a kind of food that came from the empire. It is said to be the favorite eating method of the Aurora people on the other side of the roof of the world. After it was spread to Brittany, it gradually entered the noble court and became a special food culture in autumn and winter. .

"Uh... Doesn't it mean that it's not easy to meet before marriage?" Ryan was looking forward to it, and he had to be reserved on the surface.

"That doesn't matter, it's not that you really haven't met before your marriage." Francois took this very openly, and Duke Winford's words were full of humor: "I have allowed Suria to come to you several times. If you live for a while, will you still care about this?"

"OK then."

Half an hour later, in the Duke's Castle, Lane's room.

As the future husband of the young lady, Ryan naturally received the highest level of treatment. François specially gave him a large suite. Now, a large copper hot pot is lit with charcoal in the dining room of the suite. The raw materials are beef slices, ham, pork chops and shrimps, etc. The ingredients include spinach, onions, butter, and all kinds of condiments. Naturally, the top wines of Winford "Lusalis~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Marquise Surya, who had not seen each other for several months, was wearing a standard Britannia court aristocratic dress and black boots. Sitting next to Ryan, her long golden curly hair was fixed by a beautiful headband. Live, with a touching smile on her delicate face. The female knight and Ryan have been separated for several months, and she really misses him. She has the opportunity to sit with Ryan and eat hot pot with the family. She only Feeling contented, he shoulders shoulders with Ryan, with an intoxicating blush on his pink cheeks.

The dining room is shrouded in the white mist produced by the hot pot,

"It's a pity that Your Excellency Norman is unwilling to come over. He said that he has already eaten." Gerald was also very happy, he said with a little regret: "I think he is still afraid of seeing the Duke."

"Not confident...is it?" Julius made a cool face and drank his glass.

"Actually nothing." François is also very interested, the duke has always loved his daughter, and Ryan is the best match in the whole country, he is very satisfied: "That is to have a meal together, but since I don't want to come Even if it is, there will be opportunities next, and our temporary invitation is indeed a bit abrupt."

"Yeah~" Ryan picked up a piece of beef and went to rinse it.

"Dong dong dong~" At this moment, the door rang.

"I'll open the door!" Gerald sat next to the door, and Sir took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then got up and opened the door.

"Lion... I... eh?" The visitor was stunned when he saw that it was Gerald who opened the door.

More surprised than her was Jarrod himself, who opened his mouth wide when he saw the person coming.
