Chapter 794, the Painstaking Efforts of the Supreme King
Ps: Today is the second update. It’s not too much to ask for a guarantee at the beginning of the month, right?
"This is the truth, His Majesty the Supreme King, you taught me the beginning of our conversation." Ryan said with squinted eyes, the King of Knights changed his posture, and squeezed the silver tableware with his hands, with a smirk He smiled and said: "It was you who told me to ask for 100,000 people, and it was you who told me that the iron sheet was powerful, and it was also you who said it, so I thought, since you want so many people, why bother me to mobilize an army from China? The dwarf's problem, the dwarf can solve it by himself, wouldn't it be superfluous to find a human?"
"..." The High King raised his head in the iron plate, his eyes flickered, and he waved the knife and fork in his hand. He didn't speak, but just signaled Ryan to continue.
However, after Ryan said these words, the High King didn't eat any more. He leaned back and leaned on the back of the seat, signaling Ryan to speak carefully, and he listened.
"Everyone needs a population, His Majesty the High King, the dwarves need it, and Britannia needs it too." Seeing that the High King was silent, Ryan finally continued the question sincerely: "One hundred thousand people are not created by magic tricks, ten thousand People, I can rotate them regularly, 100,000 people, even if you don’t consider domestic defense, maintenance fees and supply lines, these 100,000 people must stay here in Bafeng Mountain. I think you can understand this truth. In this dark age, every army is a precious treasure, humans and dwarves..."
"Humans and dwarves?" The High King stroked his white beard, and interrupted Ryan again: "Don't speak so full and righteous, young man, I know you helped Belgar, but why don't you Not getting paid enough?"
"Heh, if you don't pay attention to rewards, you only talk about righteousness, don't talk about benefits, and you only emphasize justice. That's playing hooligans. My kingdom has lost more than 20,000 troops for the expedition to Bafeng Mountain." Ryan also put down his knife and fork, and leaned back. , said calmly: "What is a qualified king? Your Majesty the Supreme King, do you need me to teach you?"
Look at my tactical back!
The High King and the Knight King just stared at each other, neither of them said a word.
Seeing that Ryan was fighting with himself, the High King spent a few minutes sorting out his language, and said with some annoyance: "You may know the news about the Norsca dwarves from Bellegar, or maybe other sources Humph, I don’t know much about it, how can you compare to me in this respect? I have personally been to Dulong City and met with the king of Dulong City, Tolgard, the Crimson One.”
"I took it for granted." Ryan chose to take a step back, and it was true that all he knew was told by Bellegar, which was not as good as the Supreme King who had personally visited Dulong City.
The High King chuckled, "You? Tell me, an old man, why you care about the situation of the Norsca dwarves, and what happened at that time?"
"I'm really curious,
Why is there such a large group of dwarves who survived the ravages of barbarians and the erosion of chaos in the north, and still maintained prosperity and such a large population size. Ryan nodded, and he didn't hide his curiosity: "I heard Brother Bellegar mention it, so I chased him and asked a few more questions. "
Ryan learned about the situation in Dulong City when Bellegar's queen, Komanik, was chatting with Suria. Komanik complained that Bellega had borrowed troops from all the dwarf castles in the old world except Dulong City and Breeze Castle. Borrowing food and money has gone through it again. If Dulong City was not too far away, Bellega would definitely come to ask for help.
In fact, Bellega really tried to go to the north, but after the army arrived in Kislev, they found that the troll kingdom was full of dangers. Bellega has been trying to find a route to Dulong City, but failed every time. , and finally had to be forced to withdraw to the south.
Ryan, who was interested in this, approached Bellega and asked about the situation of the dwarves in Dulong City. Ryan felt very strange about the situation of the Norsca dwarves. What are such huge dwarves doing on the Norscan front and the northern barbarians? Withdraw quickly!
Fighting Chaos, the most taboo is to fight on your own and disperse your forces, because the army of Chaos is endless, and it is easy to be defeated individually. One of the ways to effectively defeat Chaos is to concentrate your forces to form the most effective offensive, and then go to fight Chaos. The commander is dead, as long as there is no commander, the army of chaos will collapse in an instant, and the demons will return to the realm of chaos.
"That's what I said too." The High King nodded after listening to Ryan's thoughts, and Thorgreen said in a muffled voice: "However, Torgard and the others don't think so, the mines of Norsca are really too rich, young man , can you understand that a mountain was still a stone yesterday, but today it becomes a mountain of gold and silver when the wind of chaos blows. Are there more gem veins in the mountain? They are reluctant, really reluctant. Fill it up with gold, then build a new one, fill it up, build it up."
"Hey! Of course I know, but what's the use of earning so much money? My life is gone!" Ryan nodded: "In my opinion, it's enough to move inland and leave a small number of people on guard."
"That's right! I thought so too." Thorgreen slapped his thigh vigorously: "Hey, you young man wants to be with me."
"So, I think the same about the bad land." Ryan said along the way: "This is the plan of the three guards of the bad land."
"!" The Supreme King raised his head suddenly, he looked at Ryan, opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and opened his mouth for a long time, but didn't say anything.
Ryan was extremely calm and continued to cut the lamb chops.
Hmm, it's a bit salty indeed.
"Hmph ha ha ha ha ha!" After a long time, Thorgrim suddenly burst into laughter. The High King kept laughing while stroking his white beard. He laughed so much that black pepper juice splashed all over his smooth white beard. It was dark, and his laughter forced Ryan to stop his movements.
The Supreme King laughed for dozens of seconds before he finally stopped. His face relaxed a lot, his blue eyes fixed on Ryan, and he nodded slowly: "It seems that the news that has been circulating outside is not fake. Yes, the new King of Knights is not only outstanding in personal bravery, but also possesses sufficient strategic vision, political wisdom and the ability to assess the situation."
"Are you testing me?" Ryan already understood at this time, and the King of Knights was thoughtful.
"Do you know why I came up and told you to send 100,000 people to guard Bafeng Mountain? Do you know why I emphasized the strength of the iron sheet?" Thorgreen nodded slightly, and the High King said to Ryan in an elder tone: "If You foolishly told me you would raise an army as long as I paid for it, and if when I mentioned Ironhide, you excitedly told me to let Ironhide come, and you were not afraid of him, then it proves that you are no more than Baelor Jia is all the same thing, just a stupid ass, no matter how powerful this kind of person is, he is not worthy of trust and as an ally, so I can only go back and tell all the dwarf kings that Ryan Malcador is just a brainless Husband, it’s not worth getting in touch with.”
"Why do you think that I might be a fool and a fool?" Ryan knew that he had passed the test of the Supreme King, and the King of Knights smiled: "I shouldn't give the impression to the outside world, right?"
"Because two iron idiots are always attracted to each other. I haven't tried it myself. How can I be sure that you and Belgar are not two idiots who are right?" The High King's face softened, and he nodded slowly. , finally fully approved Ryan's plan: "Very good, very good, it seems that in the entire old world, the only ones who can be called qualified kings are me Sol Green and you, Ryan Malcador."
"As for Bellegar, he's probably showing off his childish ideas. He probably once hoped that the Norsca dwarves could help him regain the Eight Peaks Mountain." The High King had no doubts now, and he continued, but his expression was tired and indifferent. The downturn was a lot: "Don't think about it, I didn't succeed. All you can do is think about it. You don't need to mention this matter in the future. This group of guys who are neither alone nor ministers would rather die in the north than Those who came back, their existence can somewhat play a role in dispersing the forces of Chaos, how to really defend Bafeng Mountain, we still have to pin our hopes on the dwarves of the Mountain Kingdom, and you humans."
"Therefore, as a qualified ally and a qualified king, you must have a strong nerve, a will as strong as gold and iron, and your own opinions. Think about it from the beginning, plan what you’re going to do.”
"The scale of this must be grasped by yourself. One step forward is stubbornness, and one step backward is weakness." Thorgreen nodded repeatedly, and he said in a deep voice: "So I will use seniority and seniority to pressure you, so I will use experience Let me test you, what is the national condition of your Britannia, haven't I seen it? I have to find out, what kind of goods are you!"
"Hehehe~ Now you understand? I am me, and I am not under the control of anyone!" Ryan sneered a few times, and he said rather mockingly: "You should tell Brother Bellegar about this."
"I've said it, and I've said it more than once." Thorgreen was taken aback by Ryan's counterattack, and the High King's mood suddenly became even more depressed: "It's been decades, is it useful? I personally brought the Is it useful for ten thousand people to help him?"
"..." Ryan was silent, Bellegar was really a scourge to the High King.
Thorgreen sighed, and seemed to have suddenly aged a thousand years: "Because Bellegar, a rock-headed and idiot, can't be changed. If he keeps failing and wandering, maybe he can still listen to some opinions. , but he actually regained Bafeng Mountain with your help, to be honest, Ryan Malcado, I really don’t know if you are helping him or harming him by doing this.”
"Inflated." Ryan nodded slightly. He understood the will of the Supreme King. After regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain, Bellegar was obviously swollen to death, and even the High King ignored it.
"That's right, it's swollen. Hey, that's a very good word for you." Thorgreen nodded, and the High King was full of frustration: "In this state, it's not just Belgar, the King of Eight Peaks? Butcher King Grimm, Barentin the Torrent King, Arakson the Horn King, Bagman the Domar King, Khazador the Iron Peak King, Rorek the Breeze King, and all the kings of the Mountain Kingdom , I only know how to hold on, they are all idiots! What is the result of their holding on? Do I need to say more? If you can’t concentrate your strength, the fate of the dwarves is to perish. Died in Bafeng Mountain, time is a matter, I can see clearly, so I will never help him again!"
"I came here this time just to see who this so-called King of Knights is the most powerful since Arthur. I really didn't expect it." Thorgreen smiled approvingly: "Okay, the plan of the evil three guards , I passed here, if you have any questions, just come to me, Eternal Peak and Haimen Pass will try their best to help you."
"As for the future, I will leave it to you to arrange Bellegar with confidence. With you here, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Thorgreen stretched out his hand and pushed the iron plate: "Very good, very good, this is the time since I took the throne. It’s the happiest time, ha! It’s not easy, thanks to Granny, human beings finally have another reliable king!”
"It's an honor to receive such an evaluation, His Majesty the Supreme King." Ryan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I am also honored to be able to evaluate you like this. I am surprised by your wisdom."
"Hahahahaha! Cheers to the ancestors (lady)!" Two large beer mugs toasted, Bagman stout hops splashing.
The confrontation and temptation between the king and the king are finally over.
In fact, from the very beginning, when the Supreme King came up, he was garrisoned by 100,000 people. He said that he used age and experience to suppress people. , and didn't know enough about the Supreme King, so he was taken the initiative everywhere, but after seeing the Supreme King's intentions later, Ryan turned passive into active, and finally gained approval.
In order to realize the construction of the "Three Guards of Badlands", the approval of the Supreme King must also be obtained. This is the sphere of influence of the dwarves.
Therefore, every word and every answer between the two kings has a deep meaning. Perhaps what many people see and hear is only the domineering and elder demeanor of the Supreme King coming up, and what they see is the Supreme King's love for the knights. The king's pressing step by step, what he saw was the surprise and avoidance of the knight king, but in fact, under the dialogue, there was a fierce temptation and confrontation.
If Ryan really felt offended and turned over the table as many people think, that's called the courage of a man, the anger of a reckless man, he is not a qualified king, at best he is just a keyboard warrior, trying to be quick for a while.
It served no purpose other than to make the High King look down and look like he was no different from Bellegar.
In this way, a king's feast came to an end in mutual recognition. Ryan went on an expedition, traveled long distances, and accompanied the High King. After such a trip, he really felt tired mentally. Seeing that things were almost done, he He took the initiative to get up: "If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave first."
After speaking, Ryan was about to walk outside.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from the master engineer of the Haimenguan Engineers Association that you seem to want to order a dwarf ironclad ship?" The High King didn't keep Ryan.
"Well, yes, it's a pity that at this time last year, the master engineer said that the construction period was over." Ryan nodded: "They asked me to come back from the expedition and talk about it."
"Oh, that's it." The Supreme King nodded slowly: "Then you can go to talk, the construction period here has been completed, as for the price, I'think' they will give you a preferential price, don't worry."
"very good."
