Chapter 545, Lake Knight Landuin
"Thank you for your support in this war, King of the Forest, and I would like to express my respect and sincere regards to you." On the way to retreat, Ryan expressed his gratitude to Orion.
Although it was within Ryan's expectation that the wood elves were willing to help, he still wanted to express his gratitude for it.
"You owe Essley." Orion's body was full of ferocity, and his words were full of inviolable majesty and wild primitive anger. This anger could be aimed at Chaos, Greenskins and Beastmen, but Can also target dwarves and humans.
Historically, many human expeditions and dwarf expeditions were slaughtered after entering the forest, and the wood elves would only return one alive at a time.
These people went crazy and even killed their own people. The Athel Loren Forest is divided into twelve territories, each of which is ruled by a forest lord, and the states of different territories are different, not only the cultural inheritance is different, but also the belief The gods are different, and even the environment and time flow are different.
For example, the well-known Forest of Eternal Night, which is an endless eternal night, has not seen dawn for hundreds of years, and the Heart of Winter, where winter has lasted for thousands of years.
Therefore, the King of the Wood Elves, Orion and Queen Ariel, can actually control only the King's Forest located in the center of the Athel Loren Forest. Twelve woodland lords formed the Supreme Lord Council to manage the Wood Elves. affairs.
These wood elves usually enjoy peace and are a group of absolute isolationists. Their only hope is that the mortals outside will not bother us and live their own lives behind closed doors. Therefore, most of the wood elves in the old world are legends and Among the characters in the play, only Brittania and the high elves have the lowest level of diplomatic relations with the wood elves. Among them, the high elves are due to the efforts of "One Piece" Finnubar, while Brittania is because of the relationship with the wood elves. The Athel Loren Forest was too close, and the wood elves established diplomatic relations with the Knight Kingdom out of helplessness and the need for a protective barrier.
Orion's extremely arrogant words aroused the dissatisfaction of almost everyone. The Britannian knights glared at the wood elves, especially the proud Holy Grail knights.
Despite the treaty of mutual assistance and non-aggression, Brittania and the wood elves have not always lived in peace, and the two sides once caused an all-out war when the roots of the Oak of Time covered a chapel of the Holy Grail. Five Holy Grail knights and one woodland lord died in battle, and the wood elves were forced to retreat after paying the price of thousands of deaths.
In addition, there is a blurred boundary between the Principality of Palaon and the Athel Loren Forest. Many serfs often try to establish villages in the disputed area. The response of the wood elves is also very clear. A wild hunt brought these villages together. The villagers were all destroyed. Decades later, the serfs forgot the previous tragedy and tried to build a village again, while the wood elves went on another wild hunt to destroy everything.
Lane waited calmly for Orion to finish speaking,
Now he only feels the burning pain in the wound. A slap from the Weaver of Destiny is not so easy to bear. If it weren't for the maelstrom and the great guardian suppressing the power of the Chaos Demon, this slap would be enough to kill Ryan.
Ryan is not kidding, his opponent is Chaos Demon!
The Chaos Demon is not an ordinary powerful enemy, let alone Carlos, the fate weaver who is the number one demon under Tzeentch. The Chaos Demon's combat power fluctuates because the magic wind is unstable. Carlos After establishing a stable energy transmission channel through the holy object, it can deal with an army by itself.
"Eslai owes you too." Orion paused for a long time before finishing his words: "We will help you defeat chaos and undead. This is Eslai's promise, and we will fulfill it. trade agreement!"
Lane is Exile's only trading partner.
Over the years, the wood elves have acquired a huge amount of needed materials in the trade with Ryan. Ryan's excellent diplomatic skills and good diplomatic relations with the major forces in the old world enable the wood elves to obtain any trading posts they want. Things, including a lot of food, tools and fine weapons produced by the dwarves, marble, pottery, salt, pig iron, wood, wine and livestock meat.
The wood elves returned fur, handmade products, precious wood elf medicines, high-quality elf accessories, wood elf fruit wine and wood elf handmade clothes that were wildly sought after by the upper-class nobles, as well as various precious gems, and returned them to Ryan by the way It provides guidance and help for the reproduction of pure blood elf horses.
The wood elves are very satisfied with this situation, which is also an important reason for coming forward to help this time.
In contrast, the Britannia trade partners that the wood elves were looking for in the past... It is really hard to describe. Since the wood elves only choose the Holy Grail Knight who is the lord as a trading partner, this often happens.
Wood Elf: "I need this, this, and this."
Lord of the Holy Grail: "I only have one kind, and nothing else. You want too much, and I don't have so many things."
Wood Elf: "Can't you get it for me?"
Lord of Holy Grail: "No."
Wood Elf: "Don't you have a purchase channel? Can't you negotiate with other lords to help us purchase?"
Lord of Holy Grail: "I don't know where to buy it, I don't know how to do this."
Wood Elf: "..."
Unlike the Ryan trade, Oliver, the president of the Oliver Chamber of Commerce who has the exclusive right to trade wood elves, will sincerely receive wood elf envoys and fully listen to their trade needs and special requirements for goods. As long as the wood elves need it, Oliver can basically Done, if the quantity required by the wood elves is really large, Oliver can easily transfer goods from various branches in the entire Kingdom of Brittania or even from Marienburg.
Trading with the wood elves is a real windfall, and Oliver has become one of the richest merchants in the Old World over the years.
After saying this, Orion didn't say anything more, and he returned to the ranks of the Wood Elf army. Here, the eternal guards and the woodland guards marched side by side, and the wild cavalry and the woodland cavalry were mixed together. Linkers and Wildwood Rangers are on the lookout for foreign enemies. This army of thousands of wood elves obviously doesn't trust anyone.
The Twilight sisters riding the forest dragon stared coldly at the coalition of humans and dwarves. Few people knew the origins of the Twilight sisters. Even the wood elves only knew that the sisters were Nasta and Nasta. Ella Ann, one of them has white hair and the other has black hair. Both of them have very beautiful faces and slim figures. They both wear luxurious enchanted scale armor forged by Vaal, the god of elf craftsmen.
It is said that they are the daughters of Alaier and Orion, one representing pure nobility and the other representing primitive wildness.
The pointing and pointing of humans and dwarves made them very unhappy. At their command, the forest dragon spread its wings and rose into the sky.
Ryan gave up communicating with the wood elves. It is already remarkable that this group of autistics are willing to help themselves.
He and Francois walked together, chatting with the old man one after another. In the previous battles, Francois fought endlessly to protect the artillery and the Chaos Demon, and had no way to spare his hands to support Ryan and others. People, and because of the bloody battle between Francois and the Brotherhood of Champion Knights of Quinalis, most of the artillery was protected fairly well.
"How is Suria?" Ryan asked a little embarrassedly.
"Suria's condition is very good." Francois nodded with a smile: "She is in good physical condition, and there is a large group of people to take care of her at any time, and the lady often talks with her. Her mood and physical condition are in good condition. Well done."
"That's good." Ryan's face was a little ashamed, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm such an incompetent husband and father. Suria is pregnant, but I can't be by her side. This feeling is really not good. good."
"But you are fighting to protect mankind and the kingdom." Francois understood this, and the father-in-law patted Ryan on the shoulder: "Without your struggle, there will be no peace, and Suria also understands this .”
"Hey, no one knew that things would turn out like this." Ryan's face was a little distressed.
The tomb of Landuin was very close to the battlefield, and the army arrived at the tomb after only marching for more than two hours.
This is a very simple stone tomb, with a large swamp in front of the tomb and several low bushes behind it.
On the grassy tombstone, the date of birth and death and the name of one of the first Twelve Holy Grail Knights were engraved. The cemetery was almost completely covered by various weeds and shrubs, and only the words on the tombstone could be vaguely seen.
"The embodiment of knightly virtues, the model of chivalry, Duke Musillon, one of the greatest Holy Grail knights, Landuin is buried here, may his spirit be with us forever."
——Lewis "The Reckless" the second generation knight king
The army stopped before the cemetery, and most of the Breton knights knelt in the swamp.
This is the tomb of Landuin.
He used to be the brightest star of the Britannia Knight Kingdom, the most powerful Holy Grail Knight, and it is said that his strength is even better than that of the original Knight King Arthur.
His soul has already returned to the fairy kingdom in the lake. His body was sealed and poured with molten iron. After the resurrection failed, both the undead and chaos lost interest in this cemetery. Therefore, this cemetery has been abandoned until now, only occasionally. Expeditionary knights came here to pay homage and clean up.
"Landuin, great ancestor, truly perfect." Bohemond could feel the sword in the stone trembling in his hand, and the Red Dragon Duke came to the cemetery and knelt devoutly: "I salute you, Knights of the Lake."
"I salute you, Knight of the Lake!" Francois also stepped forward and knelt in front of the cemetery.
The Holy Grail Knights came forward to pay their respects one by one, and Morgiana recited the holy words of the fairy of the lake and bestowed blessings.
Even Olaen, the king of the forest, nodded, and Orain said in a rough voice: "Respectable human warrior, I will always remember that time when we fought side by side, a thousand years have passed, and the strength and strength you showed at that time Virtue is etched in Eisley's heart, and the Wood Elves will not forget your story."
The imperial generals Dietrich and Boris von Zhukov also bowed their heads in silence.
The rise and prosperity of Brittania happened to be the beginning of the decline of the empire. After the Black Death War, the era of the Three Emperors, and the vampire war lasted for hundreds of years, Britannia was the most powerful in the old world at that time. human nation.
After the Tower of Dole incident, the knight kingdom declined, but the empire rose under the leadership of the savior Ludwig by taking advantage of the second chaos invasion. The new empire replaced the old empire, and the new emperor Ludwig brought It was a great era of prosperity and prosperity for the empire, and the empire overtook it as a result.
History is always cyclical and endless.
After paying their respects one by one, the army dispersed, leaving only dozens of people, including Morgiana, the lake goddess witch, all the Holy Grail knights, several commanders of the wood elves, and Bellegar, the patriarch of the Anglund clan. Order to leave here.
Ryan also came to the tomb and knelt down on one knee. Landu deserved Ryan's high respect for everything he had done for the Knight Kingdom during the turbulent and war-torn years, and Ryan was the one who wanted to compete for the title of Duke Musilon. He must also pay homage to Landuin, swearing his legal orthodoxy.
After finishing the whole set of etiquette, Ryan stood up, and he took out Thor's Hammer. The God-Chosen Champion of the Fairy in the Lake had a deep sadness on his face: "Forgive me, Your Excellency Landuin, forgive me."
The Holy Grail Knights were silent, and Morgiana even closed her eyes.
"Boom!" Thor's hammer hit Landuin's tomb hard, and the tombstone was destroyed.
"Boom!" The cemetery made of molten iron couldn't stop Ryan's war hammer, and the gravel splashed and the iron shattered.
"boom!"
Slamming again and again, the tomb of Landuin opened, and the remains of the greatest Holy Grail Knight of the past appeared in front of everyone.
Thousands of years have passed, and Landuin's remains have long since rotted, and now only some carrion sticking to the bones and fluidized liquid are left on the dead bones, and inside Landuin's remains, there is a strong chaos Corruption and a strong will are still colliding. Next to the body, Landuin's saber "Knights Don't Die Unarmed" and lance "Lake of Indestructibility" are placed here.
"This is?!" Everyone looked at Landuin's remains and their colors changed.
Only Ryan looked as usual. He strode forward ignoring the chaos and corruption, approaching the corpse, and pressed his palm burning with spiritual fire on the dead bone, purifying the whole bone.
The divine radiance of the Fairy of the Lake opened up the sky, and the power of the goddess penetrated the sky. The Holy Grail Knights chanted the name of the Fairy of the Lake devoutly, and their mistress also smiled at the Knights of the Holy Grail. The goddess wore a pair of The low-cut honey dew muse evening dress outlines a perfect body line, and the ankle-length golden hair is dazzling. She stretches out her hand, and a soul leaves her divine kingdom and goes to the mortal world.
This soul is so dazzling and pure, he exudes a golden halo all over his body, anyone who sees it can feel admiration from the heart, and a sense of reverence arises from the depths of the soul.
It landed on Landuin's remains in the eyes of everyone.
It was a mighty knight who was so handsome that he was not like a mortal. He was gentle and elegant, generous, pious, and polite. He was enveloped by the divine power of the fairy in the lake. Silon's current corruption and depravity, without a word.
He is Landuin, the first Duke of Musillon, Arthur's best partner, the great knight of the lake.
Ryan and the others all took two steps back, waiting for his reaction.
"In the end, I was awakened." Landuin said slowly, with deep sadness on his face: "I am a sinner, I have no sin to forgive, it is me who made Mu Xilong become what he is now. so."
"But I still have a mission to complete." Landuin suddenly grabbed his saber, and with a long cry, he slashed the saber hard at his neck under the incredulous eyes of everyone.
The heroic spirit's body was cut open, and thick blood mist appeared from the wound on Landuin's neck.
Ryan was surprised by this scene speechless.
Everything was not over, the blood mist drifted more and more, and the bigger the drift, soon, a strong arm with flesh and blood stretched out from the wound on the neck.
This hand is holding his own sword "A knight never dies with bare hands", a middle-aged man with black mid-length hair wearing a bright silver full-body enchanted plate armor and a yellow iris family coat of arms on a black background The Great Holy Grail Knight pulled out from the body of the destroyed Heroic Spirit, and the knight's iron boots fell on the swamp of Mousilon.
The silver light of his whole body stands proudly between the heaven and the earth, just like the human god in ancient mythology who is strong against the Chaos Demon.
"This is what the lady expects of me. I must fulfill it. I have committed too many sins. I must bear my fault."
"Lian Malcador! Lady's God's Chosen Champion! Attack here! If you really want to become Duke Musillon, then defeat me! Beat me, the first Duke Musillon, to prove your qualifications !" Landuin in his heyday raised his sword and roared at Ryan, "Draw your sword! Ryan Malcador!"
Ryan nodded calmly, and he motioned for everyone to step back, holding the hilt of his sword.
Nemesis unsheathed.
