Chapter 137, Suppression of Bandits (a Chapter of 5,400 Characters!)
PS. Today's update is 5400 words, it's enough!
PS2. Why did I send a chapter tweet to my friends, but the recommendation was much less? Beep beep.
Then, it can no longer be removed.
The Duke's daughter was smiling and approaching from behind, her delicate face was shining with sea blue eyes, her skin that could be broken was as white as milk, and the long bright golden hair flowed naturally from her shoulders. Hanging, tied with ribbons of several colors.
The white dress and long skirt are exquisite and exquisite, and the bright gold and white base materials are decorated with sea blue and lavender stripes. Rings and necklaces of pearls, emeralds, amber, diamonds, and agates are hung on the owner's hands and body respectively, in the sunlight Let her shine like a star in the reflection.
A bright sapphire pendant was hung on the chest of the female knight. Ryan could feel the tightness of the needlework and fabric on the chest of the dress. It can only be said that Winford court tailors are highly skilled, and the quality of the dresses they made is very good, otherwise Clothes are definitely at risk of tearing.
"Suria!" Duke Francois of Winford called his daughter's name helplessly, and he could feel the love in his voice.
"Father! Your Excellency Ryan, good afternoon." The well-dressed female knight came to the pavilion with a long skirt.
"Your Excellency Ryan, the dwarf miners you mentioned are really weird." The Duke's daughter covered her mouth and snickered: "That's obviously the smell of iron ore."
"Is there any difference? Aren't they all the people of the mountains." Ryan shrugged, and his humorous behavior made the Duke and his daughter laugh again and again.
"By the way, why didn't I see Yuli?" Thinking that his father was here, Ryan quickly looked away and changed the subject.
"That kid was stimulated by you. You completed the Holy Grail trial at the age of 24, and he hasn't even walked on the Holy Grail road." The Duke smiled: "This makes Yuli, who has always regarded you as a strong enemy, not feel so good. It was wonderful, so he went out to practice alone a few days after he came back."
"Where are you going? There is no war in the kingdom now." Ryan was a little strange.
"It's coming soon. Beastmen have begun to appear frequently at the edge of the forest in the Arden forest in the north. There are already many ranger knights and kingdom knights stationed at the edge of the forest. They are going to eliminate some scattered beastmen first and reduce the number of summer beasts The pressure brought by the tide.” The Grand Duke watched his daughter sit down at the side, and then continued: “This year’s scouts reported signs of Beastmen’s activities very frequently. Participate in the chivalry war in summer?"
"It depends on the situation, but I plan to participate. I just got here, so I should show some performance." Ryan said after deliberation.
"Then if you go then, go with Connery. Connery is not a guy who is good at military affairs. I can rest assured that you are here." Grand Duke Winford habitually arranged the matter: "Let's put it this way first, and wait for the king's call-up order to be issued later, and we will discuss this matter in detail."
"Okay." Ryan also knew that this was just a verbal agreement, and the specific matters would definitely be discussed later, and the duke had to give himself a proof, otherwise he would not be able to order a marquis.
The pleasant discussion lasted for a while, and Ryan took the initiative to propose the matter of cleaning up the banditry: "About the matter of cleaning up the banditry, it should be sooner rather than later. Let us start action as soon as possible."
"Well, please help me. In this way, if you distribute the loot freely in the bandit fortress, we will give you an extra reward here. Do you need any help?" The Duke himself is also very troublesome for those bandits. Go out yourself.
"I don't need too many people, my Duke. I just need some young knights who are willing to dismount and fight with me to prevent the enemy from escaping." Ryan seemed very confident, and he was very confident for no reason: "In addition... …I don’t want any money for the reward, my Duke, I heard that you have some pure-blood elf horses in your stable, can you sell me one?”
…………
So one day later,
Wearing his brand-new psychic precision armor, Ryan rode on a pure-blooded elf horse and led more than fifty knights on the rugged mountain roads of the Oracle Mountains.
Surprisingly, the female knight also went out with her in full armor, so there were quite a few knight-errants, especially young unmarried knight-errants.
Who wouldn't want to have the chance to get in touch with the Marquis Suria? If he could win the heart of a beauty, wouldn't it be a few decades less struggle?
The bull knight Baptiste and the stag knight Gaston also followed, and Baptiste took out the map: "Your Excellency Ryan, we have been marching for more than ten hours, and the bandit fortress is just after passing the mountain in front of us." on the cliff."
"Well, I see." Ryan stroked the strong body and strong neck of the pure-blood elf war horse, and he named his new mount Grape.
After wearing this shiny silver power armor, it was already difficult for Pine Cone to bear his weight, so he needed to change his mount. Britannia's high-quality pure-blooded warhorse just met his needs. This pure-blooded elf War horses not only have excellent performance in endurance, explosive power and load-bearing capacity, but also have strong strength and calm will.
Its problem is that this kind of war horse has high requirements for living. It requires unfettered stocking and good feed. The large and comfortable stables and large green grasslands can walk by themselves.
If Ryan did not have his own territory before and traveled around, then he would never dare to buy such a horse. This horse cost him a thousand gold crowns. This is the friendship of the Grand Duke of Winford. price.
"Your Excellency Ryan? Do you have any plans?" A young knight-errant was wearing full-body plate armor and a kite helmet. The tricolor feathers on the kite helmet were swaying with the morning wind. He had some admiration for Ryan. A little jealous, so I asked again and again.
Ryan remembered that his name was Claude, and he was a collateral child of an earl. He was not yet twenty years old this year, and when he saw him, he asked him to fight a knight duel with him, which made him very annoyed.
Ever since he arrived in Brittania, he had been stalked by these knight-errants, a group of people who wanted to rub his name, especially since he was the nymph's chosen champion.
"I don't have any plan to exterminate these bandits, because I don't need it." Ryan thought for a while before explaining.
"Your Excellency Ryan, I am not targeting you, but I have something to explain to you. Come on, look." Claude seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and he quickly took it from the bull knight Baptiste. He picked up the map, and then pointed to the red dot on the map: "Your Excellency Ryan, look, this bandit fortress faces mountains or cliffs on three sides, and there is only one road to reach the bottom of the fortress, but this road is a hillside and full of all kinds of debris. Stone, I took part in the siege of this fort, and we suffered heavy casualties on this uphill."
After he finished speaking, the knight-errant was a little smug. He thought for a long time before summarizing this passage. He felt that this would definitely make Ryan and Suria look at him differently.
Surprisingly, Ryan seemed very calm.
He knew that Claude was right, but didn't Ryan himself do the investigation?
This is the reason why this bandit fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The 30-degree slope to rush to the gate of the fortress cost the knights a painful price and has never been able to overcome it.
"Heh~ Mr. Claude, and everyone, I just want to say a word about this." Ryan suddenly smiled.
"Don't underestimate the ladies' champion."
…………
The bandits on the mountain soon received the signal of the knight's appearance.
The bandit leader is a burly man in his forties. He lost an eye in the war against the knight master. Over the years, he led the serfs who couldn't survive, robbed houses, attacked caravans and succeeded repeatedly. He was able to lead his men back to the depths of the mountains every time before the knights were assembled. Winford's knights failed to attack several times.
His success is not accidental, because he has the support of vampire forces behind him.
More than ten years ago, the Duke of François led an army of knights to repel the army of the undead, the great necromancer Heinrich Kemmler, and successfully prevented them from converging with the Scarlet Duke in Connaught. Naturally, the vampires were not reconciled. Failed, many of them secretly lurk in Winford, some of them are really tired of the war and want to settle in this paradise, but some have never given up their ambition to destroy the principality.
The bandit leader is one of them. It is the support of the vampire nobles behind him that he can be active today, so he also obeys the vampires.
A dog that can be a blood noble! It is the greatest glory!
"Boss, there are enemies coming! The knights are coming again!" Immediately, a robber reported: "Brothers found those knights and people coming again at the guard post on the hill."
"Then why are you still standing there?! Hurry up and get ready to fight! Arrows! Rolling stones! Wood!" The bandit leader kicked the visitor's ass: "Go!"
"Yes!" The robbers immediately started to act. They had a lot of weapons in their hands, and some robbers even started to light fires. They poured baskets of feces into a cauldron and burned them hot, preparing to wait for the knights to attack the castle. directly fell down.
This fortress is about six or seven meters high, and it is built with thick stone and wooden structures. It is the hometown of this group of bandits. There are nearly fifty bandits gathered here. With the secret support of vampires, they have a good relationship. Equipment, even a few hard bows and hand crossbows.
The heavy gates of the fortress were closed forcefully by the bandits. The gates were thick and reinforced in many places. Many knights had successfully attacked the gates, but they were helpless against the gates.
Bows, arrows, and crossbows were carried up to the tower in bundles.
When Ryan and his party came to the bottom of the fort, the robbers were fully prepared.
"Boss, it's the Holy Grail Knight!" Some robbers saw the leader's attire, and their legs became weak in fright, so they hurriedly said.
"What are you afraid of! You trash!" The bandit leader yelled angrily, "The Holy Grail knight is also human, hit me hard! Shoot with a bow and arrow!"
The roar of the boss largely suppressed the fear of the robbers, but they didn't know that this was the first time the boss met the Holy Grail Knight.
I saw the Holy Grail knight walking to the entrance of the ramp in front of the fort alone. He was standing two hundred steps away from the gate of the fort. This was just outside the range of the bows and crossbows. More than fifty knights followed behind him. .
He is wearing a very gorgeous full-body armor, which is silver-gray all over the body. The family crest belonging to the Holy Grail Knight is engraved on the top of the armor. In addition, there are some unclear scriptures engraved on many places on the surface of the armor. .
The Holy Grail Knight did not wear a helmet, showing his sharp and handsome features, blue eyes, and black hair parted in the middle. He raised his warhammer, put it on the ground, and issued a final warning to the bandits.
"Lady's champion, Baron Jean and Holy Grail Knight Ryan Malcador are here to warn everyone in the fortress. I will give you a minute to open the city gate and surrender immediately." The Holy Grail Knight said righteously.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" The robbers on the fort let out a burst of laughter, many of them burst into tears, the robbers did not give any answer to the knights, on the contrary, they used crude slingshots to shoot from the fort A lot of things were thrown out.
There are feces, various debris, and the heads of some soldiers who died in battle.
The young ranger knights even saw the heads of several knights, and their faces even showed the fear before death. Many ranger knights had blushed, but they were stopped by Ryan: "You wait here Go!"
"Your Excellency Ryan? Do you want to negotiate with them alone? They are not trustworthy! The only end for these despicable and shameless people is to let our swords drink their blood!" Some knight-errants shouted loudly.
Ryan's reaction was still very flat: "Who said I was going to negotiate with them? If they really said they wanted to negotiate with us, I would have a headache."
"I mean, you guys get ready to fight and wait here."
"When the gate of the fort is broken, you know what to do."
As soon as the words fell, Ryan walked towards the fort along the hillside alone, holding the hammer.
For the next three minutes, all the Breton knights witnessed a performance that left them dumbfounded.
On the fortress, the robbers shot arrows frantically. Thirty or forty robbers used javelins to continuously pour firepower at the newly promoted Holy Grail knight. The dense javelins have always been a powerful weapon against the charge of these knights.
The remaining robbers used a few hard bows to attack Ryan, and the sharp arrows flew straight towards Baron Jean.
There were also falling rocks and logs, which the bandits kept throwing from the fortress, trying to make Lion retreat.
But it didn't work.
Any attack is useless.
The flying javelins were blocked by Ryan's spiritual shield and fell to the ground one after another.
The falling rocks and rolling logs were smashed by Ryan's hammer directly, unable to cause him any harm at all.
The arrows shot by the hard bow couldn't stop Ryan's footsteps at all, and these ridiculous attacks couldn't even touch his armor.
All that remained was the sound of his heavy footsteps.
Step by step, the Holy Grail Knight walked up the ramp, his steps were like a noose on the execution ground, making the robbers suffocate.
He gradually approached the gate.
Desperate robbers poured boiling excrement from the gatehouse, and the stench overwhelmed their sense of smell. This is the stunt of the robbers to press the bottom of the box. The knights are extremely afraid of this disgusting thing. Once the wound is infected, it is easy to die. , they are also extremely reluctant to have their family coat of arms and armor covered by filth.
It was still useless, the Holy Grail Knight waved his hand, light blue energy burned in his hand, and the hot dung juice was blocked or even evaporated directly from a long distance away from him.
The bandit leader yelled: "Go to the gate, go to the gate, hold on! Hold on to me!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Many robbers held up wooden planks, tables, chairs, and even other things, all behind the heavy wooden door.
"Boom!" The heavy wooden door made a loud noise, and all the robbers behind the wooden door flew upside down and fell to the ground.
The fortress shook, the hillside trembled, and echoes echoed through the mountains, tolling the death knell of the band of robbers.
"Hold it!!!" The bandit leader rushed towards the gate, and he used his body to withstand the gate, and the robbers collectively pressed their bodies against the gate again when they saw this.
"Boom!!" With the second loud sound, the twenty or so robbers blocking the gate flew upside down again and fell to the ground. Sore, barely raised his head.
The log to which the gate was attached was badly deformed.
Ryan outside the door raised the hammer again expressionlessly.
"Boom!!!" The gate of the fortress shattered and collapsed. A silver-gray figure appeared in front of all the robbers. He was carrying the afternoon sun on his back, like an ancient god descending into the mortal world again: "Good afternoon, Mister Robbers?"
"Surrender! We surrender!!!"
…………
The main material universe, the world of Armageddon.
A fierce battle is being waged on the surface of this planet. The demons from the subspace are roaring and screaming, rushing towards the human position like a red tide of blood.
Half of the planet fell into a sea of blood and was completely turned into a demon world. On the demon world, the Khorne demon army and the Tzeentch demon army continued to fight, and at the same time launched a crazy attack on the human position.
The endless future, only the flames of war.
And in a valley, explosions and psychic flames illuminated the sky of Armageddon. The Dark Angels of the Empire of Man were in a bloody battle with the fallen Chaos Star Wars, the World Eaters. The Dark Angels Grand Master Azrael kept firing his bolt gun, and the Dark Angels had never been so relieved and enthusiastic in thousands of years.
Their Primarch is back! Their Majesty is back!
And just like ten thousand years ago, the great emperor once again generously forgave the mistakes committed by the Dark Angels, which allowed the Unforgivable Legion to finally lay down the heavy burden of the past ten thousand years, go into battle lightly, and fight against powerful enemies.
Of course, the forgiveness from the Emperor does not mean that they will give up their pursuit of the Fallen Angels. Azrael swears in the name of the Primarch that all the Fallen Angels will pay for their sins!
The fallen space warrior legion, the World Eaters, is facing tremendous pressure. Their opponents are not only the Dark Angels, but also the Emperor's Imperial Army and the Imperial Fists who came after hearing the news. It was only a matter of time before the fighters lost.
On the main battlefield, on the heap of corpses of countless Imperial Fist fighters, a battle has gradually come to an end.
The long black hair of the Lord of Humanity fluttered, he held a flaming giant sword, his eyes were cold, the emperor was not injured, but sparks were bursting from many places on his golden armor, and the Primarch of the Dark Angel, Leon-Eir -Jonson also had several wounds on his body, some minor injuries.
Opposite the Emperor and Jonson was a fallen Primarch drenched in blood.
"Leon! Last blow!"
"Oh!!!"
Humanoid siege hammer Ryan (confirmed), and then the protagonist's combat power will gradually move closer to other gene primarchs.
