Warhammer Throne

Chapter 281: , Crossing the Grey Mountains (Part 1)

"Who?" Julius frowned, and he set his inquiring gaze on his father.

"Go and see." François glanced at the door: "If it's a girl, take a few silver coins and tell her to go."

Julius nodded to express his understanding. He took his long sword hilt, slowly approached the door, and then slowly opened the door.

Sure enough, appeared at the door, wrapped in the cold wind is an ordinary girl, she has blond hair, her face is flushed with cold, and she is dressed in plain linen clothes. Seeing Julius opened the door, the girl found him. There is no holy grail knight badge on his chest, and there is hesitation in his voice: "That... Your Excellency the Baron asked me to come..."

"Get out, go." Julius's cold poker face showed no expression. He took out a few silver coins and stuffed them into the girl's hand: "Quickly go, don't let me say the second time!"

"But!" The girl was happy with the money, but her gaze was still looking inside the house from time to time.

"Go!" Julius' voice exuded anger, and he closed the door forcefully.

The girl disappeared into the cold winter night with a few silver coins.

In the room, François poured the aperitif into the mug, and smiled at Ryan and Gerrod: "Normally, whenever the holy grail knight stays in a town, the local lord often feels that we will need it, so Always arrange for some young virgins to take the initiative to serve."

Ryan picked up the aperitif. The sweet and sour taste made him feel very comfortable. He also shook his head: "I have met it too, and I also refused."

"Well, the way of the knights don’t pay attention to these subsections. Sometimes there are holy grail illegitimate children. This is a glorious thing for serf girls, but for us holy grail knights, although it is not a stain, it is also not very glorious. Things, especially for lords like Ryan and me." François smiled: "If you don’t want to wait for serfs to come to you with their children from time to time in the future, you’d better take care of yourself. It is normal for everyone to have several female courtiers, but the legalized illegitimate children are fundamentally different from the lowly illegitimate children."

This was the Duke’s exhortation, and several people nodded.

Ryan's heart moved, and François was actually telling him what he said.

There are actually quite a few women around the lady's champion, some of them are accepted by Ryan on their own initiative, such as Olica and Veronica, because Ryan needs it.

Some women are actually outside of Ryan's plan, such as Teresa and Maugiana.

Ryan’s plans and visions for himself had never actually appeared in the shadows of the Lake God Witch and the Sorceress. These two women were all unplanned. The original plan he had made was a lady, a witch, and a witch. Maid.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, Teresa had already done this for Ryan. If it hadn't been for her desperate protection, Ryan might have died in the siege camp on the banks of the Grismore River.

Morgiana is even simpler. If she didn't save her at the time, she might have died long ago.

When François saw Ryan nodded, the Duke knew that he had listened, so he immediately avoided the topic: "We will go to the market tomorrow to buy some dry food and meat. It will take a few days to cross the gray mountains. We will reach the opposite side of the gray mountains. The town of Ubeselik, where is the territory of the empire."

Gerrod touched his goat’s beard: “Ubeselik, the imperial trading town with a population of about three thousand five hundred people, is located at the mouth of the lower reaches of the Toifel River, which originates from the Grey Mountains. This is Not far from where Count von Jungfreud ruled is Hemgart, the main fortress used by the empire to defend against the invasion of Bretania."

If you don’t consider the "Road of Curona" of territorial disputes, there are three roads to cross the Grey Mountains, namely the road of Gisoleaux in the north. This is the road Ryan took when he came to Brittany. The road is not easy to walk, you can march, but you cannot walk business.

The second road is the famous "Axe Bite Pass" road, which is known as the safest mountain road in the empire and Bretania. There are a large number of castles on the Axe Bite Pass road, Montfort, the capital of the Principality of Montfort The Château de Lour is also located in the middle of the gorge of the Axe Bite Pass. This mountain road is the most reliable trade route between the Empire and Brittany.

Because of safety.

The Duchy of Montfort, like the Duchy of Pallaon, is a mountainous area with few places for farming. Therefore, customs duties have become the main source of income for the Duchy of Montfort.

The tax is very heavy. It is said that the highest tax can reach three out of ten. However, under such a heavy tax, the Montefort Knights have worked hard to ensure the safety of the Axe Pass. Any caravan encounters an attack as long as it can persist from ten to ten. In five minutes, the patrolling knights can immediately lead the army to the rescue, and nine out of ten caravans passing through the axe-bite pass can pass safely. This is an amazing survival rate for the caravans in this world.

The third road is the "Gray Lady" road starting from Glennell in the Duchy of Pallaon.

The road to the "Gray Lady" starts at Glenel and ends at Ubeselik on the opposite side of the mountain.

The tax on this road is not very high, but there are few caravans walking this road, because it is very dangerous. The mountain road is full of beasts and greenskin tribes. In addition, vampires also own a castle inside the mountain road— -Longyan the Eternal.

The Vampire Count Constant-Longyan who is stationed in the castle has been cut by François in the decisive battle between François and the necromancer Heinrich Kemler more than ten years ago, but the castle is still Inhabited by groups of dark creatures, they attack frequently, harassing travelers passing by.

No matter which way it is, the end point is in Hemgart, a large city led by the empire, where the empire has heavy troops stationed there to prevent Bretania from invading.

"I know a knight of the Moorish Order in Ubeselik. He will arrange a place for us." Francois cut the pork with a silver knife. The knights have a great demand for meat: "Or... …Lane, do you have a way?"

"Yes, this is the customs clearance document issued to me by my righteous brother Griffin Earl Anton Ferdinand." Ryan took out a piece of parchment with the seal of the Duke Griffon: "This customs clearance document allows us to The vast majority of cities and gates in the empire of Rick are unobstructed."

"very good."

The next day, François and his party embarked on the road of "Lady Gray".

The biting cold wind blew the faces of the four knights. The rugged and difficult mountain roads could not defeat the powerful knights. Ryan's pure platinum cup cloak hunted on the mountain roads: "What a big wind!"

Looking up, the mountain road is full of mist, thick white snow accumulates on the top of the gray mountain range, and the thousands of meters high mountain looks like a beautiful landscape painting. Under the silence, only Ryan and others are slowly moving on the mountain road.

The footprints of a few people were left on the mountain path, and in the gaps covered by clouds, the bright sun proudly shattered its own light on the mortal world, illuminating the path of the Holy Grail Knight.

The cold air was sucked into the lungs by Ryan, and the lady's champion of choice was unaware of the difficult environment, because he had experienced many times during his travels, and Francois enjoyed the test from the wild, Duke Winford. He regarded every difficulty he encountered as a blessing from the lady. He enjoyed watching the granite plateau and the huge rock walls on both sides of the mountain road. Even after pampering him, he never forgot the lady's teaching to him, breathing After enjoying the fragrance of the mountain air and the white snow, François said to his aunt Julius and his cousin Gerrod: "Now let you experience it first, and wait until you all embark on the path of the Holy Grail, you Sooner or later we have to experience these."

"That's really... not easy!" Julius dragged his body out of the snowdrift with difficulty, and he could feel the ice piercing into the bone marrow, even with thick winter clothes and enchanted boards. Neither Jia can withstand this strong burden. The plate armor that used to feel as light as nothing is now making the young Marquis feel extremely heavy. Like his father, Julius also felt that this was a test of the lady to him.

I can overcome, the young kingdom knight said to himself.

"Ah~ I can understand why this mountain road is so difficult to walk." Jerrold turned into a snowman, and he trudged between the mountain roads with difficulty, unlike the light pace of Ryan and François. Jerrold's footprints were deep and shallow, very heavy, and the wind swept the cold into the gaps in his armor: "But I will persist."

"Everyone must insist, because this is just a little test for the lady on your road of knights." François looked at the hardships of his cousin and his son, and said in a deep voice: "I am on the road of the Holy Grail. Once I encountered a backpack falling into a deep valley, I survived by hunting and drinking snow water. When I climbed down the cliff after all the hardships, what was waiting for me was a group of green skins."

"Father..." Julius' voice was shaken.

"I killed them all, and then the hymn of Ms. Gao Song, a group of empire farmers found me injured, took me back to the village, and gave me their brown bread, which was the best I have eaten in my life. A meal." François' eyes turned cold, he stared at Julius and Gerrod: "Just this level of difficulty makes you succumb?"

"No!!!" The blood of the long journey was once again ignited by the Duke. Julius and Gerald both responded loudly. The two kingdom knights worked hard to get rid of their depression and depression, and they followed the Holy Grail. The pace of the knight.

A few days passed like this.

The scenery changed, the sparse mountain meadows gradually disappeared, and the scenery of thousands of hills and mountains was shown in front of a few people. The muddy gray snow piled up at the highest point, covering the ridges of high and low undulating mountains, and the complicated mountain roads. Fragmented and gradually submerged by mountain cliffs,

Ryan took the reins of his pure-blood elf warhorse grape, standing on the top of the mountain road, silent.

"Ladies champion, why do we stop?" François's plate armor and blouse were still as bright as new, he walked to Ryan's side, smiling and joking.

Julius and Gerold staggered to keep up, and they came behind Ryan.

Ryan raised his head and motioned a few people to look forward. On a small flat ground not far away, a boundary marker was erected.

Britania, 936.

This is the border region of Brittania, and further forward is the territory of the empire.

"We're half done on this trip." Julius nodded slightly: "Further forward is the empire."

"No, we have completed a quarter of this trip at most." François cast his gaze to the distance of the mountains, and he reached out and held the Unicorn Sword at his waist: "Did you hear that? ?"

"I heard." Ryan picked up his Griffin Warhammer, his face with indifference.

Gerrod was about to say something, an extremely disgusting roar sounded from the snow-covered mountain top, and several black evil figures were leaping on the mountain top, and then roared and charged down.

It's an undead creature!

Gerrod immediately remembered the battle ten years ago, when François led the army of the Weinford Principality in a desperate battle against the Necromancer.

"Vampire!!" Julius shouted loudly. He took out his weapon-a two-handed wide-blade sword. The Duke's concubine opened his cloak, revealing the family pattern of a pure day horse under the cloak. Chapter and translucent plate armor.

Dozens of blood-sucking beasts leaped from the mountain, carrying the power of thunder like a landslide. They roared and drowned the low roar of several knights. These dark creatures are more than one meter high even if they are lying on their stomachs. They are strong. His four limbs, huge mouth, and four fangs are chilling in the cold wind.

"Fight! For the lady!" Ryan let go of the reins of the grapes. The mountain road is really not suitable for riding horses. The lady's chosen champion broke out with a strong power. He is like a strong bull, directly facing the vampire Rush away.

"For the lady!"

The two forces collided, and their power made the mountains tremble. With a hammer, Ryan shot the head of the vampire head, and the splashing brain could not stop Ryan. He turned around and hammered another vampire up high in the air. Fell off the cliff.

Julius pierced the blade of his great sword into the mouth of the vampire, and pierced it from the back of its head. Gerrod's sword was as fast as lightning, and a vampire could not avoid it and was pierced into the heart.

At this moment, François moved.

Duke Weinford's Sabre, the Unicorn Sword, was unsheathed, and the sword shot out a dazzling strong light. All the vampires within a radius of five meters from the Duke himself were directly evaporated to ashes after being irradiated by the strong light.

three.

François turned around gorgeously, and the blade of the Unicorn Sword accurately slashed the neck of a vampire.

two.

While Duke Weinford raised his hands, three vampires were beheaded one after another. The Duke's powerful performance aroused deep fear among the vampires, and more vampires surrounded François.

one.

François stepped back a little later and avoided the combined attack of several vampires. The unicorn sword in his hand drew a semicircle in the cold air.

A strong light flashed, and all the vampires within five meters of the Duke were once again evaporated to ashes in the dazzling light.

Ryan opened his eyes wide, and it was the first time he saw Francois take action.

This is the strength of his future father-in-law, one of the three major families of the Knight Kingdom, the patriarch of the "Pure Day Horse" family, the enemy of the undead, and the "Long Legs" Francois, Duke of Winford!
