Chapter 328, the Wedding Is Approaching

Bellega fled for more than five days. He led 3,000 remnant soldiers to escape along the bad land until they fled to the vicinity of Barak-Haimen Pass.

At this time, the Dwarf Expeditionary Army was already in a state of embarrassment, and they had been out of food for two days, which meant that the dwarves, a particularly tenacious creature, could persist. Even so, when Bellega fled to the vicinity of Haimen Pass, the group of dwarves had reached their limit. Their beards were disheveled, and many of them had wounds on their bodies, some of which had begun to scab and even pus.

In the distance, Haimen Pass appeared in front of this expeditionary army.

Haimenguan is a unique dwarf city in the old world. Unlike most dwarf cities, this dwarf city is near the sea and is a giant deep-water port and the station of the dwarf navy fleet. This fortress was built on the cliffs on the northern coast of Black Bay, where merchants from all over the world unloaded their goods, passed through the Skull River, and then transported overland to the Eternal Peak to trade with the Dwarf High King.

Although the scale of the fortress of Haimenguan is different from places such as Eternal Peak and Eight Peaks Mountain, it is the second largest trade center in the Old World after Marienburg. Except for the local 100,000 dwarves, At least 50,000 imperial people settled here, with a floating population of as many as 100,000. Here you can find spices from Araby, red wine from Brittany, bear skin from Kislev, ores from Nord, and from the high elves. Jewelry and even various precious medicinal materials in Lustria.

The defense of Haimen Pass is extremely solid. No army can approach the cliffs without roads under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of cannons. Only by attacking the deep-water port of Haimen Pass by sea can they approach the towers of Haimen Pass. Under the joint protection of countless coastal defense forts, the Imperial Navy and the dwarven ironclad fleet, no attack has successfully approached the Haimen Pass.

Anglund's expeditionary force set off here, and now that they returned from defeat, Bellegar looked at his beard and couldn't say a word.

After a long time, the chief engineer of the Angrund clan, Hal Hafer-Gold Digger, said, "My king, this expedition has failed. What we need to do is to collect the defeated army. Let's make another plan."

"... that's the only way to go, but is there any place we can go now?" Bellegar once again tasted the pain of failure, but in his three hundred years of life, he has learned to be strong, the self-proclaimed leader of the Eight Peaks Mountain. Wang now does not control any piece of land in Bafeng Mountain, not even a place to stay.

But now what he has to face is that he has already borrowed soldiers and money from all the dwarf kingdoms in the Roof of the World, including the Haimen Pass in front of him. The king of Haimen Pass is named Baiernov, a resolute A tenacious man, Bellegar has borrowed two thousand troops from him, and now only five hundred have returned.

The king of Angrund just felt ashamed to meet these dwarf brothers who had helped him again, he didn't want to go in and closed the sea gate: "I don't want to go in,

Let's keep going west, Hal Haver, you go in, let Komanik come out with the baby, and we'll be leaving right away. "

"Yes..." Halhaver knew that Bellegar was in pain, so he answered in a low voice.

Komanic is the queen of the Angrund clan and Belegar's wife. She is staying at Haimen Pass with Belegar's only legitimate son, waiting for her husband's news.

Dwarf marriages are very unique, because female dwarves only make up about one-tenth of the total population of dwarves, so dwarf marriages are different from humans and elves.

Among the dwarves, several brothers usually marry a wife together, and even in poor families, a whole family's clans marry a wife together.

This custom has long been a tradition. The three main gods of the dwarves, the god of mines and blacksmiths, Granny, and the god of warriors, Grimnir, are brothers, and the god of healing and protection, Varaya, is their common wife.

Only a noble-born king like Bellegar can marry a wife alone, without having to share wives with other dwarves.

Bellegar couldn't stay near Haimen Pass for long. He knew that once Skarsnik defeated the Ratman, he would definitely send troops to chase after him. When Halhaver entered the Sea Gate Pass to find Komanik, Bellegar disbanded all the dwarf mercenaries , leaving only three hundred Angrond sworn guards composed of Ironbreaker Warriors and Hammer Warriors and a team of Dwarven Rangers. These people are his most loyal subordinates. Will follow to the death.

After waiting several hours, the queen of the Angrund clan showed up with dozens of sworn guards.

This female dwarf is plainly dressed, about 1.4 meters tall, and has two big brown braids. She is leading a dwarf. This dwarf is only in his forties this year, and he is still a minor among dwarves. He is Son of Belgar, the last bloodline of the Anglund royal family of the Rune Kings.

"Komanic..." Bellegar almost shed tears again when he saw his wife's plain clothes. Years have passed, and Komanik's generous dowry has long been exhausted, and now the queen of the Angrund clan looks like an ordinary female dwarf without much gold or silver jewelry on her body.

This was a disgrace to a dwarven royal family, but Komanik didn't say anything and supported her husband silently.

Seeing Belega's defeated and embarrassed appearance, Komanik sighed: "We can't stay in Haimenguan anymore, Belega, we are running out of money, and the rent in Haimenguan is too high, we won't be able to live for long."

"We can't stay here for too long. The Xieyue clan is temporarily entangled by the rat man, but I know Skarsnik. As long as it defeats the rat man, it will definitely send troops to pursue." Bellegar knew his The queen was saving face for herself and didn't talk about his defeat.

As for the case of cutting off his beard, because Bellegar wears a helmet all the year round, it is difficult for everyone to see that his beard has been shortened.

"We can no longer go to Fort Horn. Last time, King Arik Lufsen only helped us once for the sake of our ancestors. We can't ask for help again and let him take us in. Let's go further west. Bar."

Further west are the Gray Mountains, home to the two dwarven strongholds of Karak Blight and Karak Breeze Keep.

Belega thought for a while. Whether it was the Roof of the World or the Black Mountains in the south of the empire, he had already asked for help from all the dwarf forces. He was defeated and had no face to see these dwarf kings again. None of them even had an inch of land in Bafeng Mountain. Is the king who ruled Bafeng Mountain still a king?

"Let's go to Breeze Castle. I am familiar with the king there, Rorek-Granite Hand. He should be willing to provide me with some help." Bellegar thought for a long time, and finally decided to go to Breeze Castle: "We will not enter the sea gate. Go directly to Castle Breeze!"

"Yeah." Komanik knew that her husband had committed the same problem of wanting to save face. Belgar really didn't want to enter the sea gate and be ridiculed by the dwarves. He would rather run away overnight than take a rest first.

"Let's go."

…………

The time came to mid-May, Brittania, Earl of Glamorgan, Fairy Tower in the Lake, afternoon.

The dense fog is covering the entire tower. Under the gorgeous decoration, the four-legged bed in the room is shaking gently, and strange sounds are constantly coming from inside.

It took a long time before the shaking stopped.

The Lake God Witch Morgiana blushed and her face was full of beauty. She leaned on Ryan's chest, and then used her index finger to draw a circle on the earl's chest: "According to our agreement, you still owe me two days .”

"..." Ryan nodded a little speechlessly: "My Highness, you are really strict."

Ryan first went out to defeat Egil, and spent a lot of time dealing with internal affairs after returning from the expedition. The most important thing for him now is to prepare for his marriage with Suria, so he hasn't come to the Fairy Tower in the Lake for a long time here.

Morgana waited for a few weeks and saw that he didn't come, so she directly said that she had something to discuss and asked Ryan to come to her.

Ryan spent another few days dealing with internal affairs, and Suria also returned to Helen Hilde. The two will not meet again until they are officially married. This is the rule.

After Suria left, Ryan found time to come to the Fairy Tower in the lake to look for Morgiana. As a result, the Lake God Witch looked resentful, and pointed out that Ryan had been on the expedition for a few days, and how long he hadn't come, and then announced Lane owed her a few days.

She needs therapy.

Ryan could only let it go shamefully, and the two of them had been doing it until now, until Morgiana couldn't exert any strength, and she didn't even want to move her fingers, then she let Ryan go.

By the way, why does it feel like paying public food? ? ? Ryan thought so, and he hugged Morgiana: "My Highness, I will hug you."

"Hmm~" Morgiana was extremely lazy, she let Ryan pick her up, and the two went to the bathroom downstairs to take a shower. Ryan helped the Lake God Witch change into a white and bleached hollow low-cut skirt, Put on a crown of golden flowers and hold her in your lap.

After a few hours, they finally got down to business.

"More than a hundred thousand people died in the chaos invasion. Dalhaide has stepped down as the Duke of Lioness, and his son Aldred will inherit the Duke of Lioness... Aldred is an impulsive young man. Knowing what his youthful vigor will bring to the Leonese Principality, which has suffered a lot." Morgiana clasped her hands and placed her fingers on her lower abdomen, thinking about a series of recent political changes in the kingdom, Ryan knew that despite the serious injury , the lake god witch is still closely watching the political situation of the kingdom.

The silver spirit pattern engraving wings on Morgiana's lower abdomen have fully unfolded, and the spirit pattern on her body has fully matured.

"It won't get worse anyway." Ryan said casually, and he was also thinking: "Lyonna needs this kind of vitality now."

"Where's Hubald?" Morgiana then asked, "I know he was also involved in the battle of Leona."

"Your Excellency Hubald is continuing his path to the Holy Grail. I heard from him that he plans to go to Estalia, where there have been many beastmen recently... He told me that he will definitely bring beasts with him when I get married. The head of the human and beast king is here." Ryan continued: "I have sent invitations to all the dukes and nobles in the kingdom."

The wedding of Ryan and Suria is scheduled to be held a few months later on the birthday of the Fairy in the Lake—the Day of Lilith. All the holy grail knights and the prophets of the lake god attended in person, as the messengers of the fairies in the lake to bless the marriage of the two people.

News of his proposed marriage had spread throughout Brittania and the surrounding region.

Emperor Karl Franz said that he would send Belshazer Geert, the great alchemist of the Royal Wizarding Academy of the Empire, to express his congratulations.

Elector of the White Wolf and Grand Duke of Middenland Boris Todbringer said he would come in person.

Axel Gris, head of the White Wolf Knights, said that he would come in person with a gift from the White Wolf God.

Orion, king of the wood elf forest, and queen Ariel promised to send envoys to attend his wedding.

Karak-Rorek, the Dwarf King of Windbreeze Castle, promised to send people to attend.

Ryan's adoptive parents, the Normans, said they would come in person.

Ivan Ferdinand, the Duke of Griffin and Grand Master of the Griffin Knights, will come with Anton Ferdinand in person.

Lawn-Leo Cornwall, Duke of Connet, Alderlard, Duke of Lyonnaise, Hagen, Duke of Guisoleaux, Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne, Boderick, Duke of Boldroux, Cardinal Hubald, Duke of Cassonne, Furcard, Duke of Montfort, and Casvann, Duke of Palaion, who had just paid the ransom and was released from the imperial prison, all said they would be there in person.

The Grand Duke of Marienburg van der Gouber-Schulz also said that he would come in person.

Ryan's prestige can be seen from this. His wedding almost shocked the entire old world. It is said that the high elves also learned of his killing of the God of Khorne champion, and they seem to plan to send people to congratulate them.

"I can imagine the grand wedding ceremony." Morgiana smiled after hearing this: "It will be the biggest event in the old world, comparable to the wedding of Emperor Karl Franz a few years ago. "

"I didn't intend to make such a big battle, but... I hope Suria can be satisfied." Ryan shook his head with a wry smile: "Suria's feelings are the most important, and Francois also means the same thing. Since it is him My daughter wants the best, so I agreed."

After hearing this, Morgiana kicked Ryan angrily with her stocking feet under her skirt.

Every woman wants to marry in a beautiful way, so how can Su Liya be exempt?

Speaking of this incident, there is another thing that makes Ryan very embarrassed. Francois came to pick up his daughter a few days ago, and by the way asked Ryan to give a bride price of at least five thousand gold crowns.

Francois is not greedy for money. He said that he would not want the money. It was all for Suria. He needed the money to ensure that if something happened to Ryan after marriage, Suria would still be able to live a noble life as a marquise. Life will not be implicated, and Duke Winford will spend more dowry to his daughter.

This is the love of a father for his daughter.

Before Ryan could speak, his brother Angron patted his chest and agreed on the spot, saying that five thousand gold kronor has no face, and I will give ten thousand, and I will pay the money.

This is the love of an elder brother for his younger brother.

And so it was settled.

"Speaking of which, your brother is the only one participating?" Morgiana asked curiously, "Is there no one else? Then the wedding scene will look a little awkward."

"No, there will be many people coming at that time." Ryan said with a smile: "Let me keep it a secret, my lord."

Morgiana still wanted to ask, but Ryan just shook his head.

The emperor had already prepared his son's wedding gift and the candidates for the wedding.

The noble list on Ryan's side is even more luxurious.
