Chapter 417, Dragon Quest

ps: Today I finally have the time code and the second update is out, please support me a lot!

Walking alone in the garden of the castle courtyard, Matthew Bud's face gradually became ferocious and crazy.

Even the most unscrupulous Duke Musillon, the godson of the Lich King Akhan, Matthew Bard knew that time was running out for him. The force is gradually reduced.

Since when did the situation get out of control?

Matthew Bard recalled the situation. It was about five years ago when the Musillon flood started. The flood summoned by the fairy in the lake destroyed the entire Duke of Connaught. Since then, Musillon's situation has gone from bad to worse.

The entire Blood Knight Banner team disappeared during the attack on Ryan's territory, and then came the battle of Turis Castle. The vampire army was wiped out.

This was a fatal blow to Musilon. Due to the bankruptcy of the plan, Akhan had to set off to find the (crown of witchcraft) Nagash crown, while the vampire count Manfred was ordered to attack Skaven. In the capital city, look for the sword of Nagash.

Otherwise, the army that Mousilon had accumulated for hundreds of years would not dare to say that it could fight against the entire Britannia, and at least three or four dukes' coalition forces would not be a problem.

After several huge setbacks, there were very few troops left for Matthew Bud, so he had to make such a bad move. Didn't Matthew Bud know that his plan was very risky?

No, he was too clear, but he had no choice, if he continued to be content with the status quo, he would just sit and wait for death! How long did it take for Duke Lawn's chivalrous army to reach the city of Mousilon? The corpse of the Scarlet Duke who died in battle outside Turis Castle is still quietly looking at Matthew Bard, the new (self-proclaimed) Duke of Musilon!

Only by gambling can he have a chance to reverse the situation, otherwise he will die slowly. Matthew Bud has been taught by Akhan since he was a child, and he knows what he should do.

Vampires are also lurking in Bordeaux. Necromancer Farah and several vampires infiltrated and bought off the quartermaster of Duke Boderick, and bought an obsolete trebuchet from the quartermaster at a high price. The trebuchet has been severely damaged and cannot be repaired. Its load-bearing capacity can no longer throw stones. It can only throw things weighing one or two hundred kilograms at most. The quartermaster thinks this thing is useless and reports it to Duke Boderick as a waste product. The price is low. The transfer was also approved.

Throwing a boulder is not enough, but throwing a person is enough. The vampires will tie Farah to the trebuchet, and use the trebuchet to throw the necromancer into the castle from the outside. Inside the castle, summon the Black Holy Grail Knight lurking outside the castle into the castle!

He took a look just now, and as expected, it was forbidden to carry weapons at the banquet, and even the dukes did not carry weapons. Except for the damn Templar who was still fully armed, Alfred noticed that only the Lanes and their The little maid was carrying a sword, which was against the rules, but for Ryan's sake, the guards didn't say anything.

As long as those powerful black holy grail knights rush into the banquet scene, it will be a massacre.

"Ma... Dominique, what are you doing here? Wash your hands and come to the garden?" While Matthew Bud was still thinking, there was the sound of high heels next to him, and Fiona walked away impatiently. Walking from the side: "You came into the castle just to enjoy the flowers?"

"Why don't you stay at the banquet?" Matthew Bud certainly wouldn't go to the banquet center. He was still a little afraid of being discovered, especially Duke Bohemond and Ryan. These two people are real fierce men, Ryan And Surya have seen him.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people today, there are hundreds of people at the banquet.

"What's the point of staying at the banquet, a group of Holy Grail knights bragging about each other." Fiona stared at Matthew Bud, the girl's face changed back and forth, and she continued: "Now can you tell me? Why must Want to attend this banquet?"

"Fiona,

I'm sorry about what happened before, I hope you can understand me, I have difficulties, Fiona. Matthew Bard immediately pretended to be wronged. He was like a depressed wandering knight, very dejected: "I am already a fugitive wanted by the kingdom, just because I won the runner-up in the knight meeting later on." , So out of face and peace, these knight gentlemen still dare not deal with me publicly, I must find a way to clear my charges. "

"I will support you." Fiona didn't quite understand how Matthew Bard would clear her name, but this noble lady had made up her mind to support the "poor man" in front of her.

Because it was not Matthew Bud who was wrong, but the corrupt aristocratic system of the entire knight kingdom. In order to clear up Matthew Bud's grievances, Fiona was willing to face the whole world with him.

The granddaughter of the Duke of Berleon has made up her mind that no matter what, she will definitely stand by Matthew Bard.

"Well, let's go to the castle first to see where the wizard is."

"good."…………

At the banquet, Holy Grail Knights such as Ryan, Bohemond, Hubald, and Lawn Leo Cornwall sat around the most central round table. This is the glory that belongs to the Holy Grail Knights alone. In this country, only the Holy Grail Knights You can sit on this kind of cherry blossom wood round table at the banquet.

"Ryan, I heard about your active performance in the Hemgard plague, please drink up this cup." On the round table, the Holy Grail knights ate and drank, and the Red Dragon Duke Bohemond raised his glass and motioned for Ryan drink it all.

"Uh, about Countess Eva..." Ryan drank a whole glass of red wine, and before he could speak, Bohemond broke off another big goose leg: "Come, try the goose and Bath here." How different is Togne's!"

A huge roast goose leg was stuffed into Ryan's mouth, Ryan had no choice but to nod with a bitter face. The Duke of Bohemond was two generations older than him, not only a direct descendant of Arthur, but also one of the best saints in the entire kingdom. As a junior, he still has to obey the rules.

The goose leg was only half eaten, and Bohemond brought another roast leg of lamb and put it on Ryan's plate. The Duke had a "sincere" smile on his face: "Why, lady champion, you married Suria, Want to marry my granddaughter again? This is not acceptable, knights can have many women, but they can only have one wife!"

"That's not what I meant, my lord the duke." Ryan said embarrassingly, "I'm asking about..."

"Why do you keep asking about things that have nothing to do with you? Ryan, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to discuss it, let that guy Francois or Julius himself come to me! Find What's the matter if your son-in-law intercedes?" Bohemond laughed loudly, and said in the tone of a senior reprimanding a junior, "You can't replace Julius and Federmond in a championship match!"

Ryan somewhat understood what Bohemond meant. The duke had already made up his mind, and he didn't need to discuss it with Ryan, so he politely rejected Ryan's temptation in this half-ridiculous way.

The two sides were at the end, and Ryan knew it in his heart. He took the opportunity to raise his glass to Fedmond: "Congratulations again, Fedmond."

"Congratulations!" All the holy grail knights present also raised their wine glasses.

"For the lady! For Britannia!"

"For Bordereau!"

The Grail Knights toasted and drank together.

Drinking a full glass again, Bohemond said to Ryan: "I heard that you and Francois plan to attack the Blackstone Fortress in the Gray Mountains?"

"That's right, we're planning." Ryan nodded. In the beautiful Bodleaux Castle, sea water filled the banquet venue and courtyard, symbolizing that Mannan's dolphins rolled in the air, swayed and then fell into the water.

"The Principality of Bastogne will send two teams of kingdom knights to support you." The Principality of Bastogne is not far from the Blackstone stronghold, and Duke Bohemond obviously has concerns about this: "The threat of Kemler is the threat of the kingdom. The dukes have their own headaches. Last year’s Chaos invasion severely damaged many dukedoms. You and François can’t place too much hope on the dukes sending troops to support you. Ryan, you must learn how to survive without reinforcements. solve the problem by yourself.”

"I understand." Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Attacking the Blackstone stronghold is not a chivalrous war. Please don't think too much about it. Guarding your own territory is our greatest piety to ladies."

This made the dukes who were listening feel relieved. The news that Ryan and Francois planned to attack the Blackstone stronghold had spread among the high-level officials in Britannia, and the dukes felt a lot of pressure because they Often have problems of their own.

First of all, the northern part of the Kingdom suffered heavy losses in Egil's Chaos invasion last year, and they need time to rest. Alderard, the Duke of Lyonnaise, Hagen, the Duke of Gisole Oaks, and Lawn, the Duke of Connecticut, all looked embarrassed. You can tell by their expressions that they have no ability to send troops. Forcade, the Duke of Montfort, is still cleaning and restoring the ax-bite pass, and he will not send troops.

Then, the Principality of Poldero is currently facing a political handover, and it is not clear whether it is willing to send troops. The relationship between Rançois is extremely bad. After counting and counting, only the Principality of Bastogne can send troops with spare energy and kindness.

Bohemond's words subtly expressed solidarity with the dukes who were unable to send troops, euphemistically expressing that you fight as soon as you want, we don't have the energy to help you now, the Duke of Red Dragon is helping the dukes say what they want to say but can't Speaking of which, Ryan is the champion of the Fairy of the Lake after all. If he is called the Fairy of the Lake, the dukes will be more embarrassed.

Immediately afterwards, Bohemond sold Ryan a favor, saying that he would send troops to help Ryan, but Ryan and Francois still had to rely on their own strength to win the war, rather than relying on the follow-up support of the dukes.

During mutual testing, another problem was solved. Ryan thought that Berhemond did not understand politics and the court at all, he just didn't care about it. Cup, my lord duke, I wish you good health and a long life."

"Thank you." Bohemond and Ryan toasted.

It seems that a tacit agreement has been reached.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of meat, at the banquet site, on the stage built by the servants, the famous stage play "Dragon Quest" started, and everyone stopped their actions to watch the stage play.

The background of the story is very simple. In Britannia, a Holy Grail knight heard that a giant dragon invaded the country and decided to destroy him. The brave Holy Grail knight mounted his horse, picked up his lance, and started the expedition to slay the dragon.

Playing the role of the Holy Grail Knight is a young formal knight, wearing red full-body plate armor, holding a sword and shield, majestic and majestic.

Those who play the role of the red dragon are...five serfs. They lined up in a row, covered their bodies in the "dragon body" made of animal skin, wood, and metal, and used various weapons to move towards the "Holy Grail" Knight" rushes away.

"For the lady, accept the trial dragon! May the lady give me victory!" The "Holy Grail Knight" played by a knight began his performance. He charged bravely and fought with the "dragon".

Not to be outdone, the "dragon" fights back like all villains, flipping its body around on the stage and lashing out at knights' shields, with a mouth that seems to have been made with the help of dwarves and breathes fire.

Ryan was not interested in this kind of inferior performance at first, but the Earl soon discovered that this was not a fake beating, it was a real beating! The knight and the "dragon" are really dueling on the stage. The dragon's tail made of iron and leather flicked on the knight's face, making his face bloody, and the knight's sharp blade pierced through the "dragon". "A large stream of blood also spurted out of the body, it must not be chicken blood or pig blood!

Seriously? Ryan was quite surprised. The Earl was about to say something when a sudden change occurred on the stage.

A serf suddenly stretched out his arm from the "dragon body", and he directly stabbed the knight's neck with a red dagger!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'" screamed from under the stage. fell off the stage.

"??? Boderick? What are you playing?" Bohemond said to Duke Boldero strangely: "The so-called Dragon Quest is the evil dragon that kills the brave with a sneak attack. ?”

"Wait~" Bo Derick was also puzzled, he muttered to himself strangely: "No, isn't that how the script was written?"

The dukes were still wondering, the "giant dragon" on the stage didn't intend to give them time to think, and the five serfs rushed towards the banquet scene holding the dragon's body like crazy!

"Ah! My God! What happened?"

"Help!"

"Run away!"

The audience was in chaos, screams, stampedes, and the sound of glass shattering resounded throughout the banquet scene!

"Guard! Protect the guests! Protect the Duke!"
