Chapter 519, Lively Winter Veil Festival (End)
The holiday of Winter Veil lasts for two weeks. During this period, everyone in the south of Brittania lives and works in peace and contentment. Against the background of a developed economy, prosperous agriculture and prosperous animal husbandry, the sharp conflict between the serf class and the knight class has been temporarily eased. , due to clearing away the threats of greenskins, beastmen and undead successively, many wastelands were redeveloped, and many knights began to form armies to develop the wastelands for new titles. They often brought dwarves with them, and the fixed tax stimulated The serfs were active in farming, the development of mining and metallurgy brought better farm tools, and the wealthy serfs began to obtain the status of freemen. Everything was moving in a good direction.
Except for the Principality of Berleon, the internal affairs of the entire Principality are still in chaos due to the unfinished "sentence" of Duke Theodoric. The knights of the Principality finally managed to drive Count Tobalo and his army out of Leaving Berleon, they breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to rebuild their homeland. They didn't even notice that Fiona, Duke Theodoric's most beloved granddaughter, was missing.
One night during the holiday, Ryan returned to the winery after visiting Suria. Since Francois was also spending the Winter Veil here this year, he happened to discuss many things with Francois. The old man’s rich life experience and Ryan has benefited a lot from his control of the political situation.
At night, the viewing platform on the third floor of the winery had a good atmosphere. Everyone gathered around the round table to enjoy the snow. Five people, Francois, Morgiana, Jerrod, Ryan and Veronica, sat together and tasted the dwarf's wine. Bagman beer, chatting about recent events.
Olika delivered a mug of hot beer to Morgiana.
Teresa and Aurora's mother and daughter are busy finishing the wizard's tower and conducting intensive training for the witch apprentices. They don't rest during the Winter Veil Festival. Instead, Veronica's mana has been low recently, and she happens to be with Ryan. .
"The scale of the riots that happened in Lyonnaise recently is really large. Fortunately, Lawn suppressed it in time." Ryan smiled and poured Veronica a glass of hot beer. He said to Francois: "If Lawn is not here The rebel army was defeated in the Battle of Rennes, and the rebellious serfs might gather 100,000 people."
"So what if you gather 100,000 people? It's just a large mob." Francois didn't care. It cannot fundamentally change the existing problems of Lyonnaise. What the Duke of Alderlade can do now is to ensure that the remaining 1,000 knights maintain the law and order of Lyonnasay Castle and its nearby core areas. He can't control it at all, and the food will not fall from the sky."
In the first week of Winter Veil, the largest serf rebellion ever broke out in Lyonnaise. Tens of thousands of serfs gathered, shouted various slogans, took sticks, dung forks, grass Forks, sickles and hoes, they formally launched an uprising. They shouted to reject the tithe tax, refused to accept the corvee, and decided to capture Lyonnaise by force and establish a country that "truly belongs to the lady of the lake".
The rebels are snowballing more and more,
They ransacked the streets, raided the castle, and smashed the barn. Except for the temple of the fairy in the lake and the Chapel of the Holy Grail, where they dared not touch, there was no grass. human scale.
The Duke of Lyonnaise, Alderlade, has nothing to do about it. He can't even get out the rations he sent to suppress the army. The Leonase Castle has not recovered from the destruction of Egil until now, and the warehouse is empty. To resettle the victims, the stock of gold coins in the treasury is also in a hurry, and there is no food and military pay. Aldred can only watch the rebel serfs gradually form a large army, heading towards Lyonnaise.
However, the court of the Knight Kingdom was not completely unresponsive to the dire situation in Lyonnaise. When the rebel serfs gradually merged to form a large army, Lawn, as the regent of the kingdom, did not call up the serf army, but immediately led a thousand knights to Lyon Nasay, assisting the Duke of Alderlade in suppressing the rebellion.
There were tens of thousands of rebels, and the Duke of Lawn only had a thousand knights, and he had to divide his troops to garrison along the way. It seemed that the war with disparity in strength did end as quickly as Ryan and Francois expected. , the two sides met on a plain in the Earl of Rennes in Lyonnaise, and Lawn personally led more than 800 knights to charge towards tens of thousands of rebellious serfs.
The battle was over after only thirty minutes.
Tens of thousands of rebel serfs were about to collapse in the face of the group charge of more than 800 knights. Several rebel leaders were killed on the spot. The entire rebel army was defeated by Lawn's offensive. The rebels disappeared like this, and the situation in Lyonnaise stabilized again.
However, as Francois said, it is easy to suppress, so what will the rebel serfs use to confront the knight lord head-on? The core of how to really solve the rebellion problem is to solve the famine problem of the serfs. At least the serfs must be fed or not starve to death, so that they will not rebel, but for now, even the nobles of Lyonnaise They can barely eat enough to fill their stomachs, and the food problem cannot be solved in a short time.
And Ryan and others did not consider food aid at all, because even if the South aided more food, none of these life-saving food could be delivered to the serfs.
Speaking of this issue, everyone was a little silent. Morgiana just shook her head, Gerald was silent, and Ryan sighed: "After all, the Principality of Lyonnaise has its own duke, and we can't control it."
"I remember that Lyonnaise still has the last elite unit." Ryan suddenly remembered something: "Lionase Lionheart Knight Brotherhood."
"The first great champion knight and one of the original twelve holy grail knights, 'Bold' Schilluff left the famous legacy for Lyonnaise." Morgiana nodded, and the lake god witch took over the topic: "This A famous brotherhood of knights is currently maintaining law and order in Lyonnaise. Although they suffered heavy losses in the previous Egil invasion, they still have strength, and there are currently more than seventy knights in this brotherhood."
"Yeah." Ryan nodded.
After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, everyone also planned to go back to their rooms to rest.
On the way back, Veronica took the opportunity to hold Ryan's arm, and Witch Jialan whispered in Ryan's ear, "Still following the usual practice tonight?"
"Okay, you go back to the room and wait for me. I'll check the latest official documents and come to you after I take a shower." Ryan nodded in agreement, and he gently hugged Veronica and told her to go first.
Due to the pregnancy of the female knight, there is a large-scale vacancy in Ryan's time. Veronica thinks this is her best chance, so she simply moved to the winery to live with Ryan recently.
Witch Jialan returned to the master bedroom on the third floor alone.
The master bedroom was quiet, complete with all kinds of high-end furniture, and thick carpets were laid on the floor. Veronica opened the door and walked into the room. She looked at the luxurious master bedroom and sighed softly.
It would be a lie to say that Veronica didn't think about being Ryan's wife, but she really couldn't compete with Suria, and she was very satisfied with being a female courtier.
Now that the female knight is not here, Veronica took the opportunity to live in Ryan's bedroom justifiably. To some extent, it can be regarded as her own complete victory, right? Witch Jialan couldn't help feeling a little complacent when she thought of this, and she began to change her clothes.
Put on a charming red wine chiffon dress with flamenco style, the bright red dress and the fluffy white skin are a perfect match, Veronica's delicate face and sweet almond eyes reveal a delicate and graceful look The beauty, combined with the cold winter night outside, always gives people a heart-warming romantic atmosphere. Veronica has always had absolute confidence in her appearance, and she also has a pair of slender and straight black silk legs and beautiful feet.
Taking out a pair of fiery red high-heeled shoes and putting them on the silk stockings, Veronica was about to take a rest and waited for Ryan to come over, when the door of the master bedroom rang.
"Boom boom boom~"
"Here we come!" Veronica thought to herself that Ryan's movements were so fast, and Witch Garland got up and opened the door of the room: "Ryan, didn't you say...huh?"
It was not Ryan who appeared at the door, but a woman wearing a flower crown.
The smile on Veronica's face froze: "Mo... Your Highness Morgiana?"
"Why are you here?" When Morgana saw that it was Veronica who opened the door, the expression on her face that was eager to try also turned cold. The Lake God Witch was wearing a pink lady's curved dress with a slit in the skirt. She was tall, showing her beautiful legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings. Seeing Veronica who opened the door, Morgana immediately stepped into the room. She said impatiently: "It's late at night, Ms. Veronica , you should go to rest."
"The one who should go back to rest is you!" Veronica immediately pushed back, and Witch Jialan said angrily, "Today belongs to me."
"But I'm here, today belongs to me, this is an order, Ms. Veronica." There was a strong sense of majesty in the bi-color eyes of the lake goddess witch: "You can go to rest, I don't want to Hands-on with you here."
"I'm not your subordinate, you don't want to order me!" Veronica was obviously angry at Morgiana's contemptuous attitude, and sparks began to emerge from her fingertips: "Or you can try?"
"Stupid." Seeing this, Morgiana began to chant magic: "It seems that the negotiation failed."
"...Normal." Veronica took a step sideways: "We couldn't reach an agreement in the first place!"
"A showdown!"
The red magic light and the green magic light flickered back and forth in Ryan's room for a while. Both sides of the magic duel seemed very restrained. They built a protective cover to shut all the magic energy and sound in the magic shield. inside the hood.
Ten minutes later.
"Oh! Damn it~"
Accompanied by the voice of reluctance, Veronica fell weakly in front of Morgiana. The Garland Witch is only at the peak of the legendary strength, after all, she is not the opponent of Morgiana who has recovered the strength of the sanctuary: "Damn it, I actually..."
"You are not my opponent." Morgana looked indifferently at Veronica, who was lying limp in front of her, and said calmly, "Okay, the victory is over, you go back and rest."
"It's not fair. We clearly had an agreement at last year's turkey banquet..." Veronica wanted to argue, but she knelt on one knee and said out of breath, "You are malicious competition!"
"The time is Suria's time. The duel is your request. Now I won, and tonight belongs to me. It's fair." Morgana didn't intend to give Veronica a chance to argue at all. The God Witch indicated that Veronica could go out, and she took a step forward, trying to pick up Veronica who had fallen to the ground.
"???" Mogiana just took a step, and the Lake God Witch suddenly felt paralyzed all over her body, and she was forced to fall to the ground: "What's going on here? How can I..."
"What about you?" Veronica knelt on one knee, she was wondering when the door of the master bedroom was opened again.
"It's really a lively Winter Veil Festival, two stupid humans~" The voice of the dark elf came from the door of the room, and Olika walked in with a ghostly smile on her face: "The victory of the Pale Queen Ceremony is over." I am the Lord of Dread."
"Impossible, how did you..." Morgiana said incredulously, "You drugged me? But when?"
"You forgot, when you were chatting, it was I who poured you the beer." A treacherous smile appeared on the face of the dark elf maid: "As long as the magic power of this drug is used, it will take effect."
"Despicable..." Veronica and Morgana were quickly tied up by Olika with a rope, covered their eyes with cloth strips, and then put them into the cloakroom next to the master bedroom: "Just trouble you to be an audience!"
"Hmm ~ 唔” ”~" There was a low sound in the cloakroom. Veronica and Mojiana desperately were desperately used by the Dark Elves to seal the power and locked them in the wardrobe.
Thirty minutes later, Ryan finished processing the official documents and returned to the master bedroom. He found Olika sitting on the bed waiting for him. The beautiful feet in stockings shook back and forth, looking in a great mood. Seeing Ryan appearing, Olika immediately threw herself into his arms: "Master! Are you back?"
"Olika? Why are you?" Ryan hugged the dark elf and asked strangely, "Where's Veronica?"
"Ms. Veronica, the wizard tower has left beforehand, I will accompany you tonight!" The dark elf buried her head in Ryan's arms, and there was some strange taste in her tone: "Master, I Will be with you forever, they will abandon you, I will not."
Ryan felt a little weird, he still hugged Olika and fell on the bed, and said emotionally: "Yes, my Olika will not abandon me."
"That's right, master, I'm the only one you can trust completely." The dark elf secretly made a victory gesture.
Ryan always felt that something was wrong. He vaguely heard the voice of "Mmmmm" coming from the direction of the cloakroom: "Wait, Olika, why do I seem to hear movement from the cloakroom?"
"I arranged for a servant to tidy up the clothes!" The dark elf explained, and she offered her own sweet kiss: "Okay, master, don't worry about it so much, it's time to rest, let me serve you."
"Well." Holding his own exclusive pillow, Ryan didn't have a chance to think too much.
……… I am the dividing line of complete victory………
Time turned, Winter Veil passed, and February arrived.
In the northern part of the Sharon Forest, in the dense forest near the Grace Murray River, a huge camp has been established. Countless war supplies and food reserves have piled up here, and the knightly army of more than 15,000 has Gathered under Ryan's command, they are ready to start the Musilon strategy that has been planned for many years.
