Warhammer Throne

Chapter 273: ,Good wife

The empire’s swordsmen were quite fancy clothes. They often wore tight uniforms and trousers with beautiful dwarf plate armor. All the swordsmen like to wear hats instead of helmets, and they have to wear huge hats. The color of the flower Ling, even on a single person, the color of the swordsman uniform can be called rich, the color of the left and right trouser legs is always different, the colorful green color represents the identity of the swordsman of different families and different regions.

Immediately someone arranged for the Griffin Rider and the Great Swordsman to rest elsewhere. Ryan had prepared a place for them, and the count himself and the future countess led Anton towards the second-floor reception room: "Come on, Anton, my righteous brother, let’s sit down first, and in the evening I arranged an exquisite dinner, where you can enjoy many different dishes."

"Oh~ then I am looking forward to it." Anton Ferdinand looked at the luxurious decoration inside the Lane Castle with interest: "Your castle will not be very big, but it makes you feel very comfortable."

Opening the door of the living room, the comfortable heating shocked the spirits of several people. Before Ryan had spoken, the Marquis Suria smiled and said, "Your Excellency Anton, you are Ryan's righteous brother, and the future will be mine. Righteous brother, although the empire and Bretania have occasional frictions in the history of more than a thousand years, we will always support each other in the most difficult times. Please don’t see outsiders. It’s like being in your own home here. I You and Ryan are both your family."

A few courtesies, the gentle and virtuousness of a standard noble lady was shown in front of Anton, and the Griffin Earl who came from afar felt like a spring breeze: "Please don't be so polite, Madam Suria, you will call me righteous brother directly from now on. That's it. Griffin will always be your friend. My father and your father, His Excellency Francois, have forged a deep friendship. I believe that the friendship between our family will definitely continue."

"Thank you, Brother Anton, I will." Su Liya showed a standard smile. From sitting down to the third minute of the conversation, she succeeded in making the Griffin Count feel close enough.

Ryan saw everything in his eyes, and he continued: "Is the godfather okay lately? I haven't heard anything from him lately."

"Everything about my father is fine. The Griffin Knights have been resting since they wiped out the bandit groups in Rickwood Forest." Anton nodded, he relaxed a little bit, and Su Liya fell for him. With a glass of high-quality Weinford red wine, Ryan served delicious pastries, and Earl Griffin was also more relaxed. He used a silver knife and fork to fork the cake, and said with some mockery: "By the way, a group of rogue knights have been eliminated."

"..." Ryan frowned slightly after listening, the rogue knight?

Su Liya was more sensitive. She realized something immediately, and the female knight looked at Ryan worriedly.

There was no change in the expression on Ryan’s face.

The female knight then tried to start a conversation with Anton: "I heard that the northern part of the empire is very chaotic recently?"

"Well, indeed, as you said, the invasion of Chaos has become more frequent than ever. The coalition forces of Hawke and Oster have only recently been defeated by the Chaos army of the Brass Fortress. The Wolf fort on the front line was once again completely razed by the Chaos army. For the flat ground, Ludwig and I led a large group of knights and imperial troops to repel the Chaos army and forced them to retreat to the brass fortress." Anton looked tired: "Hock The collar and the Oster collar were greatly injured in this battle, especially the Hawk collar. The army in the territory has been reduced to the lowest point in history."

Hawkling is the smallest province in the empire: a small piece of land between the Central Mountains and the Tarabek River. The forest and the hordes of wild orcs that ran rampantly covered most of Hawke. Only the small-scale settlements in the south and the farmland that stretched out along the banks of the river were spared.

Before the Chiyan Expedition, Hawke was very prosperous, but when most of the knights of the entire empire participated in the Chiyan Expedition, in the central mountain range to the north of Hawke, the greatest beastman declared The rise of oneself.

It is Getew the Cruel, the greatest Beastmaster ever made by the Beastman.

For the time being, what Ryan knew was that the Beastmaster almost slaughtered Oster and Hawk, and almost completely destroyed Hawk’s capital, Herzig, if it weren’t for the knight who completed the Chiyan Expedition. We came back in time to defeat and kill Gutewo, and perhaps the northern part of the empire will be overwhelmed by the beasts of the beasts.

"The threat of chaos is getting closer. The Sky Mage predicts that it won't take long for a group of larger barbarians to try to attack the north of the empire." Anton said in a low voice: "We don't want to be included. Suffer too much loss in the fight, Ryan."

"Brittania has just repelled the vampire army. We suffered heavy losses in the Chivalry War three years ago. The dukes need to rest the army and we need to accumulate strength." Lane also whispered, "Human nations. We are all weak now."

The heavy snow outside the house continued to blow, and the reception room was warm as spring.

Anton stood up, with some unnatural caution on his face. He walked to the glazed window and looked at the snowy scenery outside. In the distance, the prosperous towns of Jean were warming smoke everywhere, and the lush Sharon forests. As always, it is covered by white snow, and the mountain road to Helenhild has been blocked by heavy snow. Every winter, this section of the mountain road will be covered by waist-deep snow.

"He seems to have something to say." Su Liya patted Ryan's hand: "Ryan, go over."

"I see." Ryan got up and walked to Anton's side: "So...the empire is ready?"

"The cause of the matter was a month ago." Anton looked at the heavy snow outside: "The long-term friction made the residents of the border painful, so we proposed a negotiation, and the Duke of Pallaon agreed, and he took his wife to the front. Came to Brunswick for negotiations. At that time, His Majesty was busy dealing with internal affairs, so the Elector of Tuscany, the Elector of Tuscany, the "Sunshine Lion" Umberto Corleone, came forward to negotiate with His Excellency Casvan."

Ryan and Suria turned green when they heard Casvan taking his wife.

Things are going to be bad!

"During the negotiation process, we have never been able to reach an agreement, and the negotiation process has repeatedly been suspended because His Excellency Casvan's wife broke into the meeting site." Anton's tone was inexplicably strange: "The Duchess is really. It's too rude and arrogant. Your Excellency Umberto really couldn't stand it. He reprimanded His Excellency Casvan and his wife..."

"So, the negotiation broke down?" The female knight took the conversation.

"Yes, the negotiations broke down." Anton said with an inexplicable tone: "Therefore, your Majesty sent me to you."

Ryan's face became serious.

This is why he must withdraw from this winter offensive.

"You are a worthy opponent and comrade-in-arms, Ryan, the feats you have accomplished over the years are familiar even in the empire. His Majesty has never restricted the spread of rumors, and even sent Rick guards to help. Maybe...I It means that maybe, the empire has to come to a war with Casvan in which both sides can calm down, and your attitude is very important." Anton continued.

"What's the point for me? I'm just an earl, not a duke. You should go to Lord Francois or Lord Berhemond." Ryan's voice was slightly mocking: "It's useless to find me. ."

"No, finding you is the most critical step." Anton smiled: "The prestige and status you have in this country is not as good as your father. You are still the champion of the lady of the lake. Your attitude is very important. , If I’m not wrong, the young knights of Bretania are imitating your every move. Your words are the weather vane of chivalry, am I right?"

Su Liya understood immediately, completely.

With Ryan’s huge reputation in Brittania, as long as he shows a little bit of unwillingness to be an enemy of the empire, then all the dukes will think that this is the meaning of the fairy in the lake, and the dukes will fight the issue of war. There are many worries, and the young ranger knights are even more so. As long as Ryan expresses his position, most ranger knights will refuse to fight against the empire.

It was the special relationship between Ryan and the empire that the empire took a fancy to, and then sent envoys to point to the crux of the problem!

"I need a little time to think." Ryan gave his own answer: "It's hard to come from afar, Anton, you can rest first."

"Good." Anton nodded.

Twenty minutes later, in Ryan's master bedroom, Ryan and Su Liya sat together to discuss what happened.

"I don't want to see a civil war in a human country, Sulia." Ryan held the female knight's warm nephrite in his arms, and he said distressedly: "But at present, it seems that this war is inevitable."

"Ryan, the empire also has this purpose. They want to use your influence." The female knight stroked Ryan's handsome face: "You are the lady's champion of choice. If you declare that you want to be an enemy of the empire, Then the whole country may rush 10,000 ranger knights to join Casvan. If you say that you don’t want to be an enemy of the empire, then the dukes will also be very cautious about whether to stand with Casvan. manner."

"I have so much energy?" Ryan smiled slightly unconfidently: "I always feel a little unreal."

"You have, Ryan." Su Liya's smile bloomed like a flower, and she kissed Ryan on the face: "Otherwise, my father wouldn't let me be engaged to you so simply."

"So... my fiancee, do you have any thoughts on this matter?" Ryan smiled bitterly: "I don't want to be an enemy of the empire, but I don't want to be trapped by my righteous brother, I want to remain neutral, but... "

"You should tell Your Excellency Anton bluntly that you will not be an enemy of the empire, but because of the lady's intention, you cannot speak publicly. All you can do is silence, Ryan, believe me, father and Bohemond. Your Excellency will make the same choice as you." Su Liya then analyzed: "You have enough strength not to stand in the team. You are now the holy grail knight commander at the pinnacle of the legend, no matter it is from us or the empire, we can't find it anymore. A champion comparable to you."

"My silence means that there is a real war between Lord Casvann, Duke of Pallaon, and the empire, Suria." Ryan frowned: "I said, I don't want to watch the civil war in the human kingdom."

"You are wrong, Ryan." Su Liya shook her head abruptly, and her long, waist-deep blonde curly hair was flying in the air, emitting the fragrance of a whole iris: "We cannot allow full-scale war between humans, but a small scale War is still necessary. Whether we win or lose, this war will calm people down. The empire across the mountain is, and so is Britania."

"Without a battle, how can we understand the power gap between the two countries? Without a battle, how can we usher in true peace?" The female knight's mouth raised a smile: "Just let Casvan Your Excellency, let’s go to war with the Empire. Regardless of the victory or defeat, we will all sit back and enjoy it. Kasvann will not be Karl Franz’s opponent, no matter how you look at it."

Ryan's eyes gradually lit up.

Yes, he doesn’t need to express his position. He only needs to use the fairy in the lake as a shield. He just needs to be silent, and he will have the same origin. The empire will accept his favor, otherwise he will face the attack of tens of thousands of ranger knights, Brittany The Asian side will not blame him, because this is what the lady meant, and many dukes have a good relationship with the empire. They will take the opportunity to choose to be silent with Ryan, and they also have to accept Ryan's favor.

Infighting between humans is not desirable, but blindly trying to make peace and forcing peace to maintain peace is actually difficult. On the contrary, as Su Liya said, a small-scale war can calm down the two sides and return to it. At the negotiating table, this is true peace.

Seeking peace through struggle leads to peaceful existence, and seeking peace through compromise leads to peaceful end.

Su Liya actually planned out such a clear best choice for Ryan in a short period of time!

Ryan couldn't help but hugged Su Liya a few times, and kissed her lips several times: "Thank you so much, Su Liya, you are really my goddess of luck! It is mine to have a fiance like you. lucky!"

"Ah! Don't do this~ Ryan, Olica is still there!" The bear slipper fell on the floor, and Su Liya blushed and put her arms around Ryan's neck. The dark fairy maid Olica stood in the room and looked at them. Woolen cloth!

The female knight is always shy about the intimacy between two people, if it is really only them in private, but Olica has stayed by Ryan for a long time to serve. In front of the dark elf, Su Liya Is not used to it.

In the void, a certain beautiful figure looked at the happy female knight and snorted coldly.

…………

"Your Excellency Anton, please live here during this time." In the guest room of the castle barbican, several maids are arranging rooms for the Count Griffin.

At this time, a little maid wearing a white maid dress pushed the cart and delivered many daily necessities to the Count Griffin. Her steps were very hurried: "Your Excellency Anton, please rest well. Dinner will be at 7 o'clock in the evening. The clock starts, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After speaking, the little maid wanted to leave in a hurry, but Anton still saw the plain appearance of the little maid, and some doubts and curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"This voice...like Emmanuel... but it doesn't look like it."

The weird thought disappeared after a round in Anton’s mind. He laughed at himself and shook his head: "I really have hallucinations. Emmanuel disappeared more than ten years ago. How could it have appeared in Brittany? Ah, still working as Ryan's maid."

"Hoo~ I'm tired, let me rest for a while..." I want to talk about "Warhammer Gods" with more like-minded people. WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Reading Literature", talks about life, and finds friends~
