Fedmonde de Boldeiro, the legitimate son of Duke Boderick of Boldeloe, is 48 years old this year. After fifteen years in the Holy Grail expedition, the sea god knight finally returned with full of glory. Kuangsha Literature Network
He gained the approval of the Fairy of the Lake after he slew a Chaos Troll who had been a troublemaker for many years in the land of Talabek.
Duke Boderick came after hearing the news. Surrounded by the Sea God knights, the elderly Duke walked quickly to Fedmonde, and he looked at his son.
Fifteen years have passed by in a hurry. The vigorous and mature knight who set off that year now has a lot of weather on his face, but judging from his appearance and age alone, Fedmond looks younger than when he set off before. Now he looks like a heroic young knight in his twenties, with a faint smile on his simple face, the wrath of the Lake God burning in his eyes, his body exuding the aura of divine protection, his sword Blade drank the blood of countless dark creatures, and now he returns from the Crusade of the Holy Grail!
"I'm back, father." Fedmond looked at his aging appearance, opened his mouth, and finally decided to kneel down on one knee: "Blessed by Ms., I have completed the Holy Grail expedition .”
"Okay, that's great!" Duke Boderick was ecstatic, and the usually steady Duke Boldro patted his eldest son's shoulder excitedly: "Come on, let's talk in the castle! Where are your friends?" ?”
"They're not my friends, we're just dropping by." Fedmond shook his head. He was about to introduce a few people from the empire back, but found that the other party had disappeared in the town of Boldero.
"It's okay, it's okay! Fedmond, my son, after fifteen years, you're finally back!" Duke Boderick quickly motioned for his son to follow him.
Now in the eyes of the Duke, Fedmond is good no matter what.
Twenty minutes later, Bordelux Castle, the capital of Bordeaux, in the middle of the Hall of the Sea God.
The huge mermaid statue is flanked by waterfalls of sea water flowing down, the furniture made of gold and silver and fine oak is exquisitely crafted, the sun is shining outside, and the power of Mananen, the god of the sea, revolves around the castle of Bordello, blessing Prince of Sea God Mananen, God's Chosen Champion Duke Boderick.
Fedmond received a heroic reception, more than a hundred Poseidon knights and all the servants in the entire castle,
"Fifteen years, Fedmond, fifteen years have passed, I have sent people to inquire about you many times, but I have never received any information, my son, how have you come here for these fifteen years? "Duke Boderick was wearing a duke's gown, and he asked his son.
The plate armor on Fei Demund was torn, only the holy statue of the fairy in the lake was as clean as new. The newly promoted Holy Grail Knight silently listened to his father's inquiry, with some sighs in his tone: "I To the Prince of the Borders."
"The Prince of the Frontier? No wonder, in that chaotic place, it is difficult for news to spread." Duke Boderick thought thoughtfully, and he asked strangely, "Why did you go to the Prince of the Border?"
"After I started the Holy Grail Expedition, I traveled along Britannia, Estalia and Tyrell, and left my footprints in the duchies of Miragliano and Lucini." Fedmond Taking a mirror from the attendant, looking at the stains on his face and the mess on his face, the Duke's son is not only not ashamed, but rather proud.
This is his glorious military medal, a symbol of his devotion to ladies, he is no longer a mortal, with divine power surging in his chest, he is already the Holy Grail Knight.
The attendant turned on the water, handed over the towel, and Fedmond wiped his face indiscriminately, and then said: "A few years later, I accepted the invitation of the "Duke" Antonelli of Redford and the Greenskin fight,
After that, in order to protect the civilians there, I stayed there for more than three years and wiped out thousands of greenskins. I didn't leave until I thought that the people there could resist the greenskin invasion by themselves. "
"Antonelli, Duke of Ruiford? Why have I never heard of this man?" Duke Boderick was quite puzzled. He turned his attention to Sir Howl, the deputy head of the Sea God Knights, and his group. Enter courtier.
These people all answered by looking up at the ceiling and shaking their heads at the Duke. The Duke's former butler, Ismail, the big trench merchant who is most familiar to the outside world, said to Boderick: "My Duke, and Britannia The two border princes who have diplomatic relations are the Principality of Akendorf and the Kingdom of Mirmiden. Akendorf has 2,000 troops, and Mirmiden has 2,500 troops. Some of the smaller border princes we used to I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it."
"The Duchy of Ruiford? There are only five hundred people in that place." Fedmond smiled mockingly.
"Five hundred soldiers?" Boderick asked casually, "That's really small enough. This so-called duke can't even compare to my baron."
The border princeland is a chaotic area. This land was once conquered by the empire and the Britannia, but it was soon abandoned. "Sigismund once conquered the border princedom and established a province, but due to the long-term attack of the greenskins and the difficulty of transportation, the empire chose to abandon it twice, but left some unwilling Departed population and soldiers.
After that, Britannia was established, and the proud knights also conquered this land. After that, some of the knights who completed the mission of expelling the green skins chose to return to Brittania, but the remaining few knights refused to return to the beginning. Take root in the border princeland and build a castle, becoming a nobleman here, so the current border princeland is already a chaotic area mixed with imperials, Britannia, and Mrs. Kesler. This land is notorious, It is a lawless place for all kinds of robbers, mercenaries, murderers, pirates and other lawless fugitives. This land has new "border princes" rising almost every day, and old "border princes" are defeated and die.
"What five hundred soldiers? Just five hundred people. When I left the Duchy of Ruiford, there were five hundred and twenty-six people in the entire city." Fedmond smiled, and the Holy Grail Knight said to his father with a wry smile: "Mr. Antonelli has been planning to establish international diplomatic relations with Britannia and the Empire!"
"Okay." Duke Boderick shook his head again and again. There may be dozens of "princes of the border" in the territory of the border princes. Most of these border princes have exaggerated titles and a decent court. The border princes sincerely They are good at engaging in "international diplomacy" and proudly put forward their own demands on other border princes, but when facing real countries, such as the Empire and Brittany, these border princes basically behaved like A begging pug, because for these border princes, a baron in the empire or Brittania is far superior to them.
To be the dog of the Empire or Brittany is the greatest honor!
"Afterwards, I went north again. I took part in the war against the greenskins in the Blackfire Pass. I accepted a half-man's table of delicious food in Mutt and helped them deal with a bloodthirsty sky ghost. I participated in the siege of an undead in Steele Territory. Wizard, in the end, in Talabek, I killed a Chaos troll... By the way, Father, I heard that Bordello is doing well recently? I saw a lot of fleets of high elves."
"Now we have established trade relations between Boldrow, the High Elf Lothern Kingdom, and the Safri Kingdom, and have made huge profits from last year to this year." Duke Boderick hesitated, but decided Tell the truth: "This is the credit of Earl Ryan Malcador. He made a deal with Lord Teclis. I don't know if you have heard his name."
"Of course I have heard of Ryan's name in the southern countries, empires, and even in the border princes." Fedmond nodded with a rather arrogant look: "To become the lady's God's Choice champion, one must have such a strength."
"Richard is about to abdicate now. The only people in the kingdom that are eligible to compete for the throne are the Duke of Connet, Lawrence Leo Cornwall, the Duke of Carcassonne, Hubald, and the Duke of Bastogne, Berhemonde. François, Duke of Winford, etc., but I think Ryan still has a chance, which depends on whether he can get the title of duke. My son, Federmond, do you want to compete for the throne? If you want , I will pass on the title of Duke to you tomorrow." Boderick frowned, and he was a little relieved: "When you get started with the Duke's affairs, I can safely hand over Bordereau to you and start belonging to the Duke. My own Holy Grail expedition."
"My lord, none of the Dukes of Bordereau in the past has ever become the king of Brittany. It is our honor to guard Bordereau as a follower of a lady. After all, in the eyes of the dukes, we It's not orthodox." Fedmond shook his head again and again: "I can't become king, father, the nobles of the kingdom will not accept it."
"Then this involves where we are, Fedmond... There is no rush, let's wait for the situation to become clear. As for the Duke..." Boderick really wanted to get rid of these secular ties It's over: "Well, I will first entrust you with the entire Poseidon Knights and the entire defense of Bordeaux, and I will be in charge of trade and various miscellaneous matters in the territory. When you are fully used to being a duke, I will I give you the whole of Bordereau."
Fedmond had no objections, and the matter was settled like this.
"Ismail!" Everything was settled, and Duke Boderick was extremely proud, and he ordered loudly: "Quickly, spread my invitation to the whole kingdom! I want everyone to know, my son, Fei Demond has completed the Holy Grail expedition and returned with endless glory! I want all the counts and nobles above the count in Britannia to come to Bordeaux for the banquet!"
"Yes! My Duke, please give this banquet a name!"
"This time, the banquet is called the Glory of Bordereaux!"
…………
A group of Imperials are walking on the streets of Boldeiro Castle.
"It's hard to imagine that most of the civilians in such a prosperous city are serfs. This place is far worse than Nur. Why would Emmanuel be willing to stay in this kind of place." The grim-faced giant looked at the street The scene, I was bored for a while before I could say such a sentence.
"Nur is a great city, but it doesn't represent the entire empire." Wagner, the master engineer, looked at the bustling crowd: "Brittania and the empire are still fundamentally different. In the empire, the nobles only guarded and Cities and manors related to their own interests, those densely covered villages in forests and fields must protect themselves. In Brittania, although the status of serfs is low, if any village is attacked, the knights of the fief will ride on horses , raised their lances, and fought for their ladies."
"..." The giant man said in a muffled voice, and then nodded: "The fighting power of the knights in this country is indeed good enough. I really want to see the strength of the Holy Grail knights."
"The top priority is that we must find Emmanuel! Theodore!" The witch wearing a veil, a purple robe, and holding a giant scythe said, "Nothing else is important."
The witch's words were full of some kind of deep and extremely terrifying magic power. As soon as she spoke, the bright light nearby was distorted, and the people around felt the bone-chilling chill and retreated one after another, even for Rick. Wagner even felt a powerful force strangling his throat.
Elspeth von Drakken, the supreme mage of the Amethyst Academy of the Royal Wizarding Academy of the Empire, the great wizard of the sanctuary of the death department, the guardian of Nur, nicknamed "the rose of the cemetery" and "the black lady of Nur", she has always been He has always been Emmanuel's staunchest supporter. Since Emmanuel disappeared, the death sanctuary great wizard has spent a lot of effort to find her whereabouts and make sure that she is still alive.
The Emperor Karl Franz sent someone to inform Elspeth after the Winter Veil Festival, telling her that Emmanuel von Lebwitz Bernardino was in the lake fairy to choose the champion, the Earl of Glamorgan, "pious Ms. Elspeth felt that the incident was of great importance, so she led fifty soldiers from the Nuer Armored Army, and took Rick Weiwagner who was in charge of guiding the way. Called this giant man like an iron tower.
Nuer officer, the champion of Nuer, the strong man in the sanctuary, Theodore Bruckner with a mysterious origin is an incredibly powerful warrior. His existence is the executor of bloody justice and the defender of the order of Nuer. After the news, the champion of Nuer also put down his affairs and followed Ms. Elspeth to Britannia to look for Emmanuel.
They all thought that only Emmanuel was qualified to be the master of Nuer! The orthodox successor of the Elector of Brescia, the strong claimant of the Grand Duke of Wesson, not Gianni Bernardino!
"First, we must find a way to enter Ryan's court and determine Emmanuel's shadow. Then, we must find a way to take Emmanuel away and welcome her back to Nur! Support her as the Nuer Duchess, Elector of Brescia and Grand Duke of Wesson!" said Rick Wagner, who and his family are staunch supporters of Emmanuel.
"Count Ryan Malcador's strength is obvious to all. It is very difficult to forcibly take Emmanuel away. We may have to think of a way."
