Chapter 123, Post-War Arrangements

PS. The second update, please Zici!

"These things are really green skins? I've never felt that green skins are so weak." A person murmured.

"We have also weakened a lot. Normally, this battle will be resolved within five minutes, otherwise our glory will be insulted." The leader said loudly: "Now, let's start to act, pay attention to concealment, Try not to be spotted by the locals!"

"yes!"

…………

Today, the Cavaliers returned with a big victory.

The citizens of Marienburg were overwhelmed. They poured out of the city and greeted the coalition troops returning from the bloody battle on both sides of the road. The old people, women and children tried their best to offer their insignificant thanks to the soldiers, a lot of wine and food, Blankets were sent to the soldiers, and the soldiers did not refuse. They really needed these after returning from the bloody battle.

The sky was full of flowers, and the citizens worked hard to dedicate their cheers and praises to the soldiers who returned from victory. The streets were covered with ribbons, and flowers were floating in the air. Most of the soldiers were wounded, and many places were only simply bandaged. , still oozing blood.

"Victory! Long live the Empire!"

"Long live Charlemagne! Thanks to our soldiers!"

"You guys are the best!"

The citizens expressed their sincere blessings to these soldiers who defended their homes and the country.

Carts of processed green leather heads described the rich results of the coalition forces. As the troops entered the city, the nobles of Marienburg also had to express themselves. The nobles pulled out boxes of white bread and handed them to Yuxue The returned soldiers were grateful for their defense of their city. The most generous one was undoubtedly the halfling Queensberry Chamber of Commerce. This Halfling Chamber of Commerce brought out more than a dozen fat pigs to slaughter, and then cooked a cauldron for the coalition forces. The soldiers savored the rich broth.

"Halflings can't go to the battlefield like His Excellency the Duke, but halflings are willing to farm and operate, so as to provide a safe rear for soldiers." The head of the Halfling Queensberry Chamber of Commerce respectfully filled a large bowl of fragrant meat Soup, and handed it to Ivan the Griffin Duke.

Ivan reached out to take it, and ate it up after a few mouthfuls: "Halflings and humans are not distinguished from each other. One prospers and the other prospers, and the other suffers and loses. Everyone is a citizen of the empire. Please don't see outsiders."

Both the imperial army and the Marienburg army took over unceremoniously, but when it was the turn of the Britannian army, the serf infantry regiments hesitated, swallowing their saliva, wanting to , but did not reach out to pick it up.

The knights didn't care about the infantry. While praising the names of their ladies, they introduced their glorious deeds to the citizens, shouting how many green skins they had eliminated and what a great thing they had done.

Ryan has washed himself clean and changed into the standard Britannian aristocratic costumes. The golden Holy Grail Knight badge is hung on his chest. These things were brought by the Holy Grail Knight Jules Yes, it can be seen that the fairy of the lake really attaches great importance to him, and Ryan can still feel that the fairy of the lake is still watching him.

It is said that she has been staring at her for a long time...

Ahem, thinking about it, Ryan turned his attention back to the serf infantry.

Unexpectedly, these Britannian infantry were not as weak as imagined. Ryan also knew something about the Knight Kingdom across the Gray Mountains. He once thought that the Britannian infantry were weak cannon fodder, but It can buy time for the knights to outflank.

However, after this battle, Ryan felt that the Britannian infantry regiment also had merit. These soldiers may not be able to attack and break through the enemy's line of defense, but they only need to stand still, raise their spears, hold their positions, and fight for the enemy. The knight's detour and charge are enough to buy time, and I dare not ask for anything else.

Although these infantry were born as serfs, they were sent out after sufficient training in the lord's castle. Ryan would not have the chance to see the real conscripts recruited directly from the serfs. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers is certainly low,

But their cost is also low. If the expectations are lowered, then this kind of fighting power is already acceptable.

Thinking of this, Ryan finally spoke: "Your Excellency Ules?"

"What's the matter, Lord Ryan?" Holy Grail Knight Jules had a brown goatee and a very kind expression on his face.

"Let the soldiers eat, they also contributed to this battle." Ryan said calmly.

Jules thought for a while, nodded, and agreed with Ryan's point of view. The Holy Grail Knight waved his hand, and the Ranger Knights and Kingdom Knights naturally dared not and would not disobey him. The soldiers were finally able to enjoy the food. During this time, many people let go of their bellies and ate, and the appearance of a starved ghost made the young ranger knights contempt for a while. They felt that these serfs were disgraceful and refined to eat like this, and some knight-errants even felt ashamed to be in the company of these people.

But for the virtues of the two holy grail knights, these knight-errants praised them heartily.

The serfs praised the generosity and compassion of the Holy Grail Knights Jules and Ryan loudly. They felt that the Holy Grail Knights were really the embodiment and symbol of virtue, and they were allowed to eat white bread and meat as serfs.

This is also the reason why the serfs performed exceptionally well in today's war. The existence of the Holy Grail Knight can greatly boost the morale of the serfs.

In the evening, in the city hall, another grand banquet lit up the beautiful night sky. This was the last night that Ivan the Griffon and Baron Ryan stayed in Marienburg. The next day, Ivan will lead the The army returns to Rickland, and Ryan will also follow the Britannian army to the knight kingdom on the other side of the mountain.

The negotiations between the Empire and Marienburg have not yet been completely concluded, but the two sides have reached a lot of consensus, and the rest is a long process of picking up the missing pieces, and Ivan will not stay here again.

So, Ryan had a few drinks with his godfather this evening, and Anton was seriously injured in the charge, so he didn't participate in the evening banquet.

"The brat from the past has grown up." In the magnificent banquet hall, Ivan raised a full glass of wine and toasted Ryan: "This glass is to my godson, and I wish you all the best in the future."

"And this is a toast to my godfather, I wish the godfather has a grandson soon!" Ryan said with a smirk: "Let Anton work harder!"

"Hahahaha!" The godfather and godson drank the last glass of wine, and then expressed their respect to each other.

Then, holding a wine glass, Ryan found Julius and Suria who were in the corner of the banquet.

The eldest son of the Duke of Winford is wearing a white and blue dress today, with a stern temperament and a raised figure. His noble background and outstanding appearance have become the focus of this banquet. Many noble ladies and wives saw Ryan and the lion The Duke of Eagle is not easy to get close to each other, so the noble-born Julius has become a favorite. Who doesn't want to be the future duchess?

There is always a dream, how do you know if you don’t try it?

It's just that no matter how these ladies and wives try to strike up a conversation, this knight of the kingdom is cold and reticent, like a hard rock in a latrine. .

And if you want to say which lady at the banquet is the hottest and the most popular among men, it is undoubtedly Miss Suria Kumani Antley from Brittania. The eldest lady of Nia is wearing a pure white slit elegant lady-like gown and long dress. Her dazzling golden hair is fixed by a headband and falls from her head. The ends of her golden hair are curled up to form soft curves. She has sea-blue eyes Just like the blue sea, she has pure colors, and her height of 1.75 meters not only looks tall and slender, but also sets off her golden ratio figure vividly.

What excites the male nobles who are the chairman of the banquet the most is that this eldest lady has a delicate and almost perfect appearance. A perfect fusion, this is the most beautiful female these male animals in Marienburg have seen since the disappearance of the president of the Aesthetic Society, Anida Klausner.

During the banquet, the eldest lady skillfully dealt with the nobles who came to chat with her. Her every move revealed the demeanor of a duke's daughter. During the conversation, she always took care of everyone's feelings, but politely Rejecting further communication requests from all walks of life, wave after wave of men went up to try to strike up a conversation, and then wave after wave retreated back.

"Come on! Let's make way, ladies, I have a date with this Mr. Julius~" Ryan raised his glass and motioned for the ladies around Julius to make way.

The bees, waves and butterflies were very unwilling, how did the two most valuable unmarried men at this banquet start dating?

"Yes! Ryan and I have something to talk about." Julius turned pale when he saw Ryan coming, and quickly said that he was right, he and Ryan had something to talk about.

So the ladies had to leave.

"We're leaving at noon tomorrow." Julius's first words were this when he saw Ryan coming over.

"Which line do we take when we go back? Is it the road of Gisole Oaks or the road of the ax bite pass?" Ryan and Julius found a relatively quiet corner to sit down, and then asked.

There are three roads to go from Marienburg to Britannia. The first one is to take the Randall Road in the north and then pass through the West coast, and then directly follow the coastline to Courona, but this road will not Someone chose because this road is too dangerous. This road is barren and lacks supplies. There are many terrible creatures wandering in the dark wilderness. Such a dangerous road not only cannot speed up the journey, but has to go around in a big circle , so Ryan didn't even mention it.

Then there are two roads that can be taken. The first one is the road in the middle of Gisoleochs. This road will pass through the Pale Sisters Mountains in the north of the Gray Mountains and pass through the Dukedom of Soleochs. This is the place that brings together the eastern empire to the west. Central to Britannia and overland trade routes, these mountains are mostly barren and barren, populated only by bandits and a small band of goblins. It is said that some of the peaks are like crooked old branches, and the eternal snow is like a shawl, hence the name: Mountains of the Pale Sisters.

The second is to take the southern ax bite pass. The towering Montfort Castle is built on the pass, and the safety is guaranteed. The Holy Grail Knight Quedris is responsible for the inspection of the mountain road and the defense of the pass. There are many hotels along the way. For rest, but this road has to take a long detour, and it will pass through the imperial emperor's direct collar, the vast majority of imperial businessmen like to take this road, because it is safe, but also because of this, the customs clearance is an astonishing sum. numbers.

"Let's take the road of Gisoleoux." Julius said calmly: "That road is the fastest. We have so many knights and two Holy Grail knights, so don't worry about safety."

"Well." Ryan thought that more than 1,000 troops were enough to ensure safety. The road of Gisole Oaks was different from the ax-biting pass that might be attacked by the greenskin army. The number of troops was enough to pass easily.

"Then we will all be ladies' knights from now on." Ryan stretched out his hand, and Julius reached out to shake his hand: "Frankly speaking, I am not qualified to shake hands with you, but I accept your kindness."

Ryan said nothing, he is now the Holy Grail Knight, two levels higher than Julius.

"Do you know that guy? He looks really annoying!" Julius didn't get too entangled in this matter, because he was already close to the ordinary Holy Grail Knight in terms of strength, and what he lacked now was enough Qualifications and prestige, a knight of the kingdom usually has to be thirty years old to embark on the path of the holy grail, and he is too young now, and it is not yet time for the holy grail trial.

Ryan raised his head, and he noticed that a young nobleman had been pestering Surya, and then he was talking endlessly. The female knight was obviously not interested, but she was still listening hard.

"That person's name is Edmund Huron. He was a big hit at the Marienburg Aestheticism event some time ago... His Excellency Schultz, the Grand Duke of Marienburg, once wanted to punish him severely, but at last this guy still has some contacts. He His father has a lot of favors, so he was saved." Ryan smiled wryly and shook his head again and again.

Edmund Huron was widely involved in the Aestheticism event. He became the main person in charge introduced by the Marienburg nobles. Further accountability.

Schultz once wanted to deal with it strictly, but his late father, the old Earl of Huron, still had some contacts and capital. The other members of the Senate were unwilling to kill him, and after the inspection of the church, the young nobleman was corrupted. The infection wasn't too deep, but it could be purified. Edmund narrowly escaped the catastrophe. His earlship was reduced to a baron. The Chamber of Commerce was attacked by other House of Commons merchants, losing several trade routes and several shops in a row. , greatly diminished in size.

Since Anida's death, Edmund's spirit has been a little abnormal. When Ryan and Julius approached, the two knights heard Edmund talking to Suria, and they seemed to be chatting There are questions about growing up.

"Let me tell you, Miss Suria, maybe you have chosen the wrong direction." Edmund said to the female knight in a rather self-righteous tone: "Many people have not been able to taste the real life, the taste of real happiness." What is the taste?"

"When I was enjoying the rich food and clothing, you knights were on the training ground with mud, sweat, and the sun. Your skin will gradually become dark because of the sun, and your delicate hands will be sore from holding the weapon for a long time. Get rough." The young nobleman said eloquently, and then he looked distressed at the female knight's delicate and perfect face.

"When you are still working hard and studying hard, I have already participated in countless high-level banquets. I have enjoyed all the delicacies and beauties of the old world. Can't you enjoy it? No, as long as you want, you can also enjoy it , It’s just that you have all been deceived, deceived by a lie, you don’t know what real happiness is, and it’s not worthwhile for you to devote your limited lives to infinite wars.”

"You do those boring charges on the battlefield, you pay the price of your life for nothing, have you ever thought about waiting for your parents at home? Have you ever thought about caring for your friends and family members? Life is precious, Why go to the battlefield to die? Is it worth it? Think about it, when you die, there will be nothing, everything will be reduced to nothing, and all that will be left is a small tomb of the tears of your loved ones." Ed Meng's tone was full of emotion and emotion, which made people cry.

"Your youth and life are wasted in training and war. You don't know what is youth without regrets. I want to tell you that I have achieved real youth without regrets. The more than ten years of my life You have already enjoyed the happiness that you have never experienced in your life..."

Before he could finish his words, a voice that had suppressed his anger to the extreme came from behind him. He had just turned around, and a precise straight punch hit Edmund's smudged face, scarring his entire face. Hit dented.

Several bloody teeth fell to the ground, and the entire party was stunned by this sudden change.

"Talk nonsense to my sister again, and I will judge you in the name of a lady!"
