Warhammer Throne

Chapter 329: , Summer wind

? The summer in Bretania this year is relatively cool, not as hot as before. This is good news for the serfs in the Count of Glamorgan, and what is rare is that the knight masters did not hold this year. Large-scale hunting or drilling activities.

Because in the Northern Chaos Invasion War I this spring, the knight masters of the counties have already got enough training. What they need now is rest. The northern refugees who fled at the beginning of the year have begun to get used to living in the counties and work hard. Bottom line, the products of the earls became more and more abundant, and there had been siltation of enough grain in the serfs' homes to feed them for two to three months.

This is a rare situation in Brittania.

Five new villages have been opened up in the Chalong Forest, and new residents have moved in one after another. After repeated killings, the Beastman tribe in the forest has been unable to overcome any storms. Of course, the earl also ordered the prohibition of excessive penetration. Forest, after all, clearing the forest is a long process.

As always, in the afternoon, Ryan was looking for a free time, and the earl himself seemed to be sitting behind his desk in his office in his spare time, doing things seriously.

But in fact this guy is fishing. His maids Olica and Emilia are serving in the room. Ryan’s banner officer, the Holy Grail Knight Armand, Sir Gerrod of Winford, and his brother-in-law, Marquis of Winford. Lius and Calade, the Earl of Garment, who was about to start his own Holy Grail expedition, were all in Ryan's office. Everyone was eating iced watermelons and blowing on the air conditioner made by Teresa. It was very uncomfortable.

"Ryan, you will still enjoy it. I always thought that Lord François built a special courtyard in the castle to be extravagant. As a result, you can actually think of using magic to cool down." Gerrod held the iced in both hands. The watermelon, gnawing gluttonously, made a lot of juice on his face.

"A place like a castle is okay in winter, and it's not easy to live in in summer, so I have to make some changes." Ryan's face is a bit unsightly. It took him two days to get out of the tower of the fairy in the lake. Fortunately, he Just advanced to the Sanctuary, the strength of the body is far beyond the ordinary legendary powerhouse, otherwise it may not be able to deal with Morjana, the lake **** witch is very obsessed with him in private, and is willing to cooperate with him, two people Many new poses have been unlocked.

Regarding this matter, Ryan and Olica secretly discussed it in the bed, and he thought about it for a long time, knowing that he could only discuss it with the dark elf.

Olica’s statement goes like this: “Master, it’s really comfortable to be with you, especially when absorbing psionic energy. Anna feels the same, and Mojianna... She should be dozens of years old, once some things are opened, they can't be closed again."

"Okay." Ryan said no more.

After a long time, Ryan has begun to have his own small circle. The people he gathered are all young talents of Brittany, all in their 30s and 40s. He noticed that Kalad’s expression was very depressed. Obviously, the deaths of Ulles and Annara hit him hard.

Calad was not crushed by setbacks, he was stronger and more determined.

"By the way, I remember Lawn Leo Cornwall, Duke of Connet, once again launched the Knights War to try to regain Moussilon?" Ryan tried to change the subject: "What's the situation?"

After defeating the Chaos Invasion, because Kurona had assembled a large number of troops, Richard simply ordered the Duke of Lawn to lead more than 10,000 troops on the expedition to Moussilon, in order to recover the cursed city of Moussilon in one go.

According to François’s gossip from Curona, Richard has already had the idea of ​​abdicating. He wants to pass his kingship to Raun-Leo Cornwall, if Raun can take back Mushy. Ryuzhi Gong is the heir to the throne appointed by Richard, so his ascendance to the throne is almost a certainty.

Richard’s plan is also very clear. The entire Knight Kingdom knows that a huge army of vampires was somehow annihilated when they headed to Ryan’s territory. As a result, Moussilon’s vampires were greatly damaged and could no longer take the initiative to attack. Able to settle in Mu Xilong's corner and work hard to restore his military strength.

Therefore, Richard's plan is to let his cousin Raun be the "peach picker" just because of Ryan's cause of the vampires of Mu Xilong to recover Mu Xilong.

"Yes, Lord Raun indeed led an army of more than 10,000 people into Moussilon's conquest." Karad nodded, his tone a little melancholy: "But like the result of hundreds of years, the army of Duke Raun is in After Mu Xilong returned without success, Duke Raun originally planned to besiege the city, but in the end he chose to retreat."

"Retreat?" Julius put his arms around his chest. Recently, his cold face has become warmer, and he is obviously happy that his sister is about to get married. He always thinks that if Sulia wants to marry, he can only marry the Holy Grail knight. Young and able to fight.

"Yes, retreat." Gerrod nodded, and the François cousin said with a wry smile: "The Duke of Raun has won every encounter after entering Moussilon and defeated every vampire. He made a surprise attack, but after all, he couldn’t fight against the entire Vampire residents of Moussilon. Even though Duke Raun personally confronted and killed a black holy grail knight, even if he led a hundred guards and defeated five hundred undead black knights, but Muxi The huge vampire corruption in Long's place and the resistance of all the residents made the supply and logistics of the entire knightly army very difficult."

Armand nodded, and the last bloodline of the Duke of Aquitaine continued: "The huge wastage and lack of logistics have exhausted the vitality of the knight army. In the repeated harassment and attacks of vampires, the knight army became exhausted, and finally The troops can only be withdrawn. Before the retreat, Raun left two thousand troops to strengthen the guard post and epidemic prevention belt around Moussilon."

"Yeah~" Ryan thought about a series of things.

This place of Musilon is indeed very difficult to handle. Except for the high wall of tens of meters in the city of Musilon, the corruption of that piece of land is too serious. The vampire corruption spreads on the land of Musilon, and it is difficult for any army to last for a long time. Staying in that place, the Duke of Lawn was forced to stop and rest every ten kilometers he walked.

Moreover, according to Ryan's imagination, whenever Raun's army went to a place, it would definitely rush into the town like a whirlwind to form a "Holy Grail Court" and to put all the identified vampires and humans corrupted by the vampires to fire.

This method is a just method, and it also meets the requirements of chivalry, but Raun's doing so means that he will be an enemy of the entire Musilon and will be plunged into the ocean of People's War.

Vampires are actually divided into many factions. There are ambitious people and some who just want to live quietly. Some advanced vampires are even the same as human life. Not all vampires are planning how to destroy mankind. Many vampires are already in human society. Take root, so does Musilon.

Raun saw that the method of burning one is a way to completely solve the problem, but the cruel degree of this method puts everyone in Musilon at risk, forcing everyone in the entire Musilon to be an enemy of the knight army.

In this situation, Raun could not quickly take down the cursed city of Musilon, the supply line was attacked repeatedly, the army was exhausted, and all he could do was withdraw.

Richard's plan to get Raun to pick the peaches failed. The battle that was neither won nor won was stopped, and Brittany was exhausted and could no longer fight.

Finally, Richard gave the Duke of Lawn a title of regent and began to let him help himself with government affairs. As for when to mention the throne, it would have to wait for the next opportunity.

"Musilon is really a hard bone." Julius said disappointedly: "After this chaotic invasion, the power of the kingdom has been very weak. The next time I will send troops to regain Musilon, I don't know when it will be."

"Send troops again? Yuri, I don't think it is a problem to regain Moussilon." Ryan touched his chin, and he thought while saying: "I think even if he fights a few more times, it will still end in this way. First of all, Moussilon. How are we going to break the ten-meter-high city wall? Do we rely on trebuchets? Furthermore, if we fight Musilon again, we must face serious vampire corruption. We can’t go out at will until we figure out a solution to the corruption. The most important thing now is to recuperate."

"...Hmm." Julius could only nod his head: "This is the only way now."

"The northern part of the kingdom has suffered heavy losses, and it may take five to ten years to recover to its previous scale." The Holy Grail knight Armand also said: "Moreover, after two wars, the kingdom's nobles have become war-weary, and it takes time to recover Musilon. consider."

"Yeah." When the watermelon was finished, several knights also said goodbye. Only Ryan, Olica and Emilia remained in the room.

The earl was still thinking about it, and after thinking a lot, he shook his head: "The matter of regaining Moussilon is still a long-term plan."

"Ryan, vampires are not so easy to deal with." Emilia shook her head: "Since the empire lost the Sylvania province five hundred years ago, it has never successfully ruled that place. Exhausted, all the vampire castles in Sylvania were razed to the ground, but since then, no nobleman is willing to rule Sylvania. Now they only have ruins and a few villages. Every year, no one dares to go to Sylvania except when the Empire sends people in when collecting taxes."

Ryan smiled bitterly when he heard the words. Isn't that the case with Mou Xilong?

It is very easy for vampires to corrupt a piece of land. It only takes a period of time for shadows and death to affect a piece of land, and neither the living nor the dead will have peace.

So what about purifying a piece of land?

It takes dozens of hundreds of years of work to purify a piece of land, and many large-scale magics are needed.

Whether it is the empire or Brittany, they all face a problem, that is, it is easy to defeat vampires, but it is difficult and very long to purify the land corrupted by vampires.

In layman's terms, this place can't be washed.

So how can I regain Moussilon?

Ryan looked out the window, lost in thought.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ryan couldn't think of a particularly good way. He suddenly felt that someone should be able to give himself some advice.

The earl himself gave a smirk and said to Emilia: "Emilia, thanks for your hard work, go and rest first."

"Okay." The little maid saw Ryan's weird smile. Emilia, who had followed Ryan for several years, didn't know what Ryan wanted to do? The little maid glanced at the earl a little bitterly, lifted the skirt to give a salute, and then stepped out.

The dark elf noticed that Ryan had set his sights on himself, and Olica's face gradually turned red: "Master...Master?"

"Hey hey~ Olica, I have something to discuss with you." Ryan ruinously picked up the dark elf and kissed her on the cheek: "The old way, I'll go back to the room and talk~"

"Ah! Master~" The dark elf hugged Ryan's neck and said shyly: "Master, you are always like this."

…………

It took more than a month for Bellega to escape from Haimenguan all the way to Karak-Breeze Castle. At this time, King Angland’s funds were basically exhausted, and the group was quite embarrassed. They crossed through the underground tunnel. At the southern end of the Black Mountains and Grey Mountains, we arrived at the Breeze Castle.

Along the way, this team of hundreds of people has gone through several battles. There are many green-skinned city forts in the earth vein network, but I don’t know why. Most of the green-skinned tribes encountered along the way are sluggish, lacking in fighting spirit, and green-skinned city forts. All in tatters, it seems that they have just been looted, and Lord Baylor and his party repelled the enemy relatively smoothly.

At this time, the Breeze Castle was already in sight.

King Rorek of Karak-Breeze-Hand of Granite heard that Bellegar brought his own tribe to take refuge, opened the city gate, used the courtesy between the kings to warmly welcome the group of people, and arranged for them to stay. In the evening, Lorek held a grand banquet to welcome Bellegar’s way, and he didn’t mention a word about Bellegar’s expedition to Bafeng Mountain. This undoubtedly brought a lot of comfort to Bellegar’s heart, and the pain of defeat was also lost. Diluted a bit.

There are also differences among the dwarves. The dwarves that are closer to the roof of the world to the east are relatively stubborn. Among them, the dwarf kings like Karak-Ironfeng and Karak-Horn Fort even now do not trust firearms and still prefer to use bows. Crossbows fight with axes and hammers.

The dwarves closer to the west are relatively more sleek and flexible, because they have more contact with humans. King Rorek of Karak-Breeze Castle is one such person. Breeze Castle is located in the middle of the gray mountains. Sandwiched between the empire and Bretania, there is trade with the two countries, and they often pass goods from Marienburg. The dwarves here are better at talking and diplomatic.

"Bellega, my friend, what brought you here?" At the banquet, Rorek said to Bellega, "What a rare guest!"

"It's like this. The Angland clan didn't go well during the expedition. I decided to save the clan's strength and fight again in the future." Bellegar touched his white beard, the white beard of King Angland. It was bound by a lot of burlap and some copper rings, and there was nothing unusual on the outside: "I will trouble you a little during this time, Rorek."

"Of course." I want to talk about "" with more like-minded people. WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Literature", talks about life, and finds friends~
