Chapter 920, Invalids

Latest URL:

Taking advantage of the autumn harvest season, Ryan is less troubled by various internal affairs at this time, because everyone's attention is on the autumn harvest, and those ranger knights who provoked troubles were taken away by Karard, and the rest Part of it was cleaned up by the Duke of Bohemond. At this time, Ryan was free, and he had nothing to do in Jean, so he decided to come to Mousillon to inspect the Les Invalides and the Royal Old Guard of Britannia. .

Morgiana was too busy to leave, so she didn't follow. Aurora and Teresa were too busy collecting information about the old world and didn't follow. The last ones who followed were Ryan's queen Suria and her personal maid Olika. .

By the way, Ryan also brought out his son, Devinhill, who is quite tall now, and is quite accomplished in spiritual power and weapons. Recently, Ryan taught in the morning himself, and asked him to follow his friends at noon and afternoon. The guards trained and ate together. I thought that Devinhill would not be used to it, but the son actually liked this kind of life. The little guy who is less than ten years old has already shown extraordinary energy and strong learning ability Ability, it is said that due to lack of culture, Callard often said that he has nothing to teach Devonhill.

Because Ryan has been fighting abroad all year round, Little Devonhill is closer to Uncle Angron, and he can only say that he maintains a relationship of respect and admiration with his father. Ryan took advantage of this time to brush up his son's favorability, Let him know that Dad is also very powerful. Although he is not as powerful as you Uncle Angron and Uncle Fulgan, he is still the most powerful person in the old world.

At the end of October, the autumn harvest in Britannia has basically come to an end. At present, only the southernmost Principality of Carcassonne and the Principality of Berleon are still harvesting. Next, the serfs will sow some crops that can survive the winter. crop.

Ryan was walking in the Invalides of Mu Xilong, he took Suria's hand, the knight king was full of smiles, Olika followed behind him, and behind him were two old guards. The commanders, Bertrand Tal's Eye and Nicolas Davout.

Behind them are the glorious Old Guards, these soldiers wearing bearskin caps, blue coats and white shirts, red epaulets and ears of wheat on their shoulders, white trousers and leggings are now The pride of Brittania, many of them have served in the army for more than ten years, and even a former serf named Rothschild can even be deduced to have participated in the Colesen Conference in the outskirts of Marienburg in Ryan He fought and returned to Brittania with him. He served for 22 years, so he got the nickname - Old Antique.

Now 45-year-old Rothschild is already a legendary strongman who was promoted in the Great Expedition of Eight Peaks Mountain. The old guard with a thick mustache refused to be transferred or even served as an officer. He insisted on following as a soldier His Majesty Lane, also after Lane made him a knight errant.

Due to the strict selection time, well-trained training and sense of belonging to His Majesty Ryan, the terrifying combat effectiveness of this army in previous battles has attracted the attention of the whole world. Now, whenever the Old Guards appear on the battlefield Always and able to inspire the morale of other Bretanian troops when on the battlefield, and to be the most fearsome and powerful sight on the field of battle that any enemy has ever seen.

This time when Ursuan came back, Ryan carried out the third reform of the Old Guard. The conditions for entering the Old Guard were at least 10 years of service experience and at least 5 battles. Under this condition, Ryan Expand the Old Guard to five battalions, each with about 400 people, including a halberd battalion, a big sword battalion, two musketeer grenadier battalions, and a musketeer dragoon battalion, with a total of 2,000 people.

"Everybody wants to be the Old Guard, everybody, but the king doesn't seem to be going to give us that chance, 10 years, man!"

— Speech by a Freedman of Brittania

Disabled veterans are arranged in the Les Invalides, which is also used as a military museum and a place to display Ryan's supreme martial arts. Not long after it was built here, Ryan went in and inspected it.

I feel quite satisfied. There are five large courtyard buildings, plus a large lake fairy church. In addition to the church, there are handicraft workshops for making prints and uniforms, and a military hospital just opened with the cooperation of the high elves. Safrui The kingdom's high-precision doctors will provide medical services and provide medical guidance to this group of stupid human students.

The Invalides is adjacent to the cliff coast of Mousillon. After visiting the Invalides and the Royal Old Guard Manor outside the city, the king decided to have a picnic near the cliff coast. The manor quickly delivered a lot of food.

"Your Majesty, everyone thinks that your move is inappropriate!" The old guard commander Bertrand Tarr was wearing a commander's uniform, with more than a dozen medals and The medals jingle as they walk, but they are a model of endless glory.

Similarly, after Ryan returned to Britannia from Ulthuan, he also reformed the medal system. The King of Knights announced that starting today, the power to award medals and medals will be taken back to the king. Based on this, the medal system designed by Ryan as follows.

Highest Order of the Lady of the Lake (must be awarded by the Lady of the Lake herself).

Grand Prix of the Legion of Honor.

Grand Cross of the Order of Gold, 1st Class.

Order of the Lion, Second Class.

The Order of the Iris and the Order of the Bauhinia, Third Class.

In addition to symbolizing endless glory and status, you can also get special allowances and special treatment corresponding to the medal level.

In addition to the medals, Ryan also awarded a large number of medals to many soldiers this time, such as the five-year service commemorative medal, the ten-year service commemorative medal, the twenty-year service commemorative medal, the Battle of Blackstone Stronghold commemorative medal, La- Battle of Messonnell Commemorative Medal, Eight Peaks Great Expedition Commemorative Medal, O'Brien Great Expedition Commemorative Medal, etc.

A person like Bertrand has won more than a dozen medals and medals, and it is not uncommon for soldiers to jingle when they walk. Not many, which made him a little embarrassed. Due to the promotion of the medal system, the army has begun to judge the status by the number and quality of medals and medals. Those who have more medals are like Bertrand. Come and jingle, with a smug expression, not to mention how majestic and dignified, the honor of these old guards is even the envy of the knights.

"What's the wrong move? Bertrand, half-speaking is not allowed." Suria saw that Ryan seemed to be thinking about something, and the queen took the initiative. She was wearing a standard female knight dress today, with a belt on the outside. A blue coat with gold epaulettes and buttons, a white lace dress underneath, knee-length brown high-heeled boots on a pair of long legs wrapped in thick black lace pantyhose, and the sword of Lyonnaise hanging from his waist , wearing a golden double-headed eagle wedding ring on long white lace gloves, bright golden waist-length curly hair hanging down like a waterfall, and her temperament is completely heroic and noble female knight.

"Everyone has said that since the northern coast needs to be protected by the army, His Majesty should send us there." Bertrand no longer felt ashamed of himself as before when he became Tal's God Chosen. He smiled at Suria : "Everyone means, how can this kind of thing be without us?"

Surya couldn't help but pursed her lips and snickered. The Queen understood that the Old Guards were eager to fight. This army has always been only responsible for war, and war is the only way for them to be promoted and obtain rewards and honors.

So how do you tell them? Suria glanced at Ryan and saw that Ryan was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile. Knowing that her husband planned to let her answer this topic, the queen thought for a while before saying: "If the king sends you to defend the kingdom coastline, who will protect his family and his court?"

The soldiers laughed loudly, this issue has been revealed, the King of Knights has absolute control over this army, and everyone is just asking for a fight.

But Ryan didn't smile, he frowned slightly, and then signaled to the soldiers to prepare a picnic here on the coastal cliff, and the old guards immediately began to prepare for camping, living, stewing and roasting food, and at the same time sent someone to watch.

Ryan pulled Suria to sit down, Devonhill ran to make barbecue with the soldiers, the King of Knights looked at his army, first nodded with satisfaction, but then shook his head with regret.

The Old Guard Army is a fully professional army that is carefully selected and only responsible for fighting. A powerful army, and they do not engage in production or business and participate in politics, can minimize the diversion of attention and lead to a decline in combat effectiveness.

Sounds good, right?

But Ryan also deeply understands that this kind of elite army also has its own disadvantages.

As we all know, since it is a fully professional legion that does not engage in production, business, or political participation, the meaning of the existence of this legion is war, and the hope of the soldiers for promotion is war.

Then, they will desire war, and they will try to participate in war.

Over time, such elite legions will continue to suggest war to their leaders, so that they will be the greatest beneficiaries.

But what if the monarch always disagrees?

They will be patient at first, and they will only express some dissatisfaction, but if the time gets longer and longer, after the monarch changes and the soldiers change and changes, these elite legions will start to have an idea—since the monarch does not want to If there is a war, then we will support someone who is willing to fight.

It is easy to implement the idea of ​​changing the monarch, because almost all of these people are personal soldiers and imperial guards, and they have the most powerful force.

The old monarch has been "replaced", and the new monarch is doomed to be out of position and unstable. In order to win over this group of elite legions, bounties are often given out, or they are allowed to participate in politics.

It's a vicious cycle again. After a long time, this group of people will soon realize that they don't seem to need to fight, and they can get a lot of rewards and a higher status! We have the final say whether the monarch should be changed or not.

Then, after a while, after these people changed a group of monarchs, they finally understood.

It turns out that we are the masters of the country!

After that, this group of people can no longer be controlled.

In Ryan's previous life, the most famous Roman Guards, Sultan's Guards, and Mamluks gradually corrupted and became indistinguishable from traitors, and eventually became a cancer of the country and had to be eliminated.

However, Ryan also has his own advantages. First, as the Primarch, although he is not an immortal, his lifespan is almost unlimited (the immortal refers to the infinite resurrection after death, not the infinite lifespan. ).

Second, is there still a lack of war in this world? The fear is not that there will be no battles, but that there will be too many wars and the intensity will be too high.

Third, Ryan's extraordinary personal martial arts can also solve this problem well.

A few people sat down, and Olika stood behind Ryan, and the Knight Dynasty asked Suria, "Is there any news from Karard?"

"No, Carrad and the others just moved their station from Diana's Manor to the northern gate of Krona, Alençon Castle." Suria shook her head gently: "According to the instructions of General Meretskov, head of Ugold's army, It’s a matter of opinion, Beria should give you that opinion.”

"Well, I've read it, he said it very pertinently, and analyzed the Norse people very thoroughly, yes, I did the same when I was in Nord." Ryan finally smiled, and he nodded: "The barbarians Many times, knowing that some enemies have weak defenses, they will not attack, because what they care about is whether they can loot enough supplies and get enough heads to dedicate to the God of Darkness."

"Your Majesty, do you still think that the barbarians will attack?" Davout, the deputy commander of the Old Guard Army, raised his own question: "But for now, the northern route seems to be very peaceful."

"Chaos and barbarians have no logic at all." Ryan shook his head helplessly, and the King of Knights yawned. The fairy in the lake suddenly appeared last night, and the goddess and Suria teamed up with Orika to do something with Ryan Multiplayer sports", the goddess is currently arranging decorations in Mu Xilong's new palace.

Ryan thought that the process was very pleasant, but his waist was a little sore: "Historically, there were hundreds of agreements reached between Marienburg, the Nord Kingdom and the Norsca, and the barbarians did not mean that they did not abide by them at all, but as long as the chaos If there are any oracles from the evil gods, Norsca chieftains suddenly come up with the idea of ​​going south, or there are Chaos Lords, Chaos Chosen, and Chaos Champions who suddenly announce that they will gather and go south, then those agreements will all become waste paper."

"For now, it's better to be careful!"

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

Ryan is having a picnic under the beautiful autumn scenery, enjoying a rare good time.

On the Sea of ​​Claws, thousands of Norscan dragon ships carry the Norscan Worldwalker Legion. The 33,000 army led by Ulfric-Wanderer, the Four Gods of Chaos, is heading towards the northern coast of Brittania. Go fast!

"Our task is to burn the capital of those weak and disgusting chivalrous patients, Corona, to ashes!"

"First target, Chantillon!"

"Forthewander! Forthechaos!!!" Ulfric-Wanderer held his own sword Frostbite, his body was covered with mortal skulls and skeletons, standing on the bow of the giant Norse dragon ship, facing The barbarian army shouted: "Destroy!"

"Forthe chaos!!!" Responding to him was a tsunami-like frenzy and bloodthirsty cry: "Destroy!"

The cloud of war is approaching the Kingdom of Knights.
