Every principality needs to build five permanent military fortresses?

Almost all the dukes expressed disapproval of this article.

Does our Majesty the Knight King have no concept of the permanent military fortress?

Each principality builds five permanent military fortresses, which is enough to bankrupt the principality's finances! And a terrible disaster for civilians.

The dukes were all silent, and the first to speak was the duke of Le-Angoulant, Taubert: "I have objections!"

"Say." Lawn also frowned. As Richard's successor, the Duke of Taubote is anti-reform in his bones, and has always been at odds with Ryan. Of course, he is now unable to face Ryan's sky-shattering reputation. and strength, but it's completely okay to contradict yourself.

"First, the principality does not have enough finances and manpower to build the so-called five permanent fortresses. Second, I don't understand why such a fortress was built. Of course we know the pressure of the northern barbarians on our coast, but we defend the north The barbarians have had thousands of years of experience. We have built strong castles and fortresses in almost all important places. Third, this kind of military fortress needs to spend a lot of money and energy to maintain and garrison troops. Who is the maintenance fee for this kind of fortress? Let's solve it." Duke Taubote sat behind his seat, and he spread his hands: "I don't think this is a reasonable decision, except for wasting people and money, at your own expense? Is His Majesty Ryan serious?"

Everyone nodded, and even Duke Boderick said: "If each principality needs to build five permanent fortresses, it means that the entire kingdom must now recruit at least 400,000 people. Our census has just ended, and there are about eight With a population of more than one million, does that mean that we have to recruit 5% of the manpower, and all of them are adult men? Can this land be planted?"

"Wait, I want to correct one thing." Lawn quickly added: "His Majesty Ryan said that he must gather the strength of the entire kingdom, and every principality must contribute to build five permanent fortresses on the border of the kingdom, not every principality You have to fix five."

"We are not talking about quantity now." Adehad, the Duke of Lyonnaise, waved his hand, and he said dissatisfiedly: "As you can see, Lyonnaise has just recovered from a series of war disasters before. Come on, we can't even guarantee the peace of our homeland, how can we use such a large amount of manpower to repair the fortress, the entire Britannia Grand Canal was just completed two months ago!"

"That's right, we understand what His Majesty Ryan meant. Building a new fortress is of course good for our national defense, but...is it necessary?" Hagen, Duke of Gisoleoch, also echoed: "First of all, our existing defense The system has been strengthened many times. After the successful peace talks between His Majesty Ryan and Emperor Karl Franz, the external defense pressure we face has been greatly reduced.

Moreover, the loss of the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition was not small. "

"It can't be done." Even Francois shook his head: "This is a bit disregarding the national conditions. Our human and financial resources are limited. His Majesty Ryan means to build five together?"

"No, it is repaired one by one, laying the foundation first." Lawn shook his head.

Only then did Francois nod his head. The Principality of Wenford is very rich now, and it is acceptable to repair one by one.

"But it's not fair!" Taubote, the Duke of Le-Angulan, brought up the old story again, and he said angrily: "Everyone knows that our Northern Principality has not gained much in a series of wars, but the cost is very high. Big, I don't want to say that the distribution is unfair. His Majesty Ryan was fair in the past, and I believe he will be fair in the future, but we have no money or manpower now. At this time, you are telling us to build the fort, and we have to pay for it? Don't say it We aristocrats, even serfs, can’t support it! I’ll just leave it here, it can’t be done.”

"That's right, it can't be done." The five dukes in the north, including Theodoric, the duke of Berleon, disagreed. Even Lawn knew that if Aurora hadn't told him that there was a large-scale gathering of the northern barbarians Activities, I will most likely think that Ryan's idea is a bit too much, the country is not so troubled.

And the most important thing is that everyone thinks that such a high cost of defense is unnecessary. As Duke Taubote said, you need money to build a large permanent fortress, garrison and maintenance. If you can’t use it, repair it. These things are just for viewing, our output may not be able to keep up with the cost, and Britannia has already perfected its own defense system during the thousand-year war, the dukes are not fools, the safety of the Principality It is related to their vital interests, so there are quite a few castles that should be built. At this time, Ryan proposed to build a new military fortress, which really made them unable to understand.

For example, the attack power of the barbarians is 10, and the existing defense system of Brittany is 20. If you can’t prove that the enemy has an attack power of 20, 30 or even 100+, then repairing it will be a waste, and it will waste people’s money. High maintenance costs afterwards.

The regent was sitting in his seat, and Lawn was thinking about how to find an opportunity to put forward the idea of ​​the expedition to O'Brien. The regent of the kingdom glanced at the dukes sitting on both sides of the conference hall who were constantly arguing, and suddenly recalled how Richard treated him. the words said.

"The position of the king is not that you can command the nobles of the kingdom at will after you sit on it, but that you can command the whole kingdom more conveniently after you can sit on it!"

Lawn sighed deeply. The regent of the kingdom was suddenly very frustrated. Since becoming the regent, Lawn felt more and more how difficult it was to do something for the kingdom.

To reverse the decline of the entire kingdom, you must fight against the inertia of Britannia for thousands of years.

As the King of Knights, Ryan has saved the kingdom from danger many times, regained Musilon, defeated Matthew Bard in the championship duel, and formed an alliance with the Empire. In addition, he completed the miraculous and great victory of the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition. With the power of the sky, the prestige at the height of the sky, coupled with Ryan's extraordinary personal bravery and ability to command the army, there is such a huge resistance to doing something.

If I became the King of Knights, I would probably have the same ending as Richard, that is, I forged ahead in the first few years after I took the throne, and then kept running into walls. In the next ten years, I will spend all my energy on fighting with the knights and nobles and the Church of the Fairy in the Lake. in the game.

After his energy is exhausted, his body and mind are exhausted and he fails again, he will most likely start to dawdle, like Richard, tends to be conservative and maintain stability, and starts to be the spokesperson of their will as all the great nobles expect And rubber stamp huh?

Therefore, a person's destiny, of course, depends on self-struggle, but also takes into account the itinerary of history. Lawn knows that he does not have Ryan's ability to go against the sky and turn the tide.

The issue has come to a standstill, further eliminating those incompetent knights and nobles, and sending them all to the Arabian Expeditionary Army to receive "torture and training" is handed over to the Duke of Berhemond, the Duke of the Red Dragon as the first generation of knights King Arthur's direct descendants were not afraid of offending others, and no one dared to blame Bohemond for his incompetence, because the old duke was very strict with his children, and three of his nine children did not live to the end. He died in battle at the age of thirty, and two of the remaining six children were sent to the monastery as handymen because of incompetence.

The matter of Changping warehouse and strategic grain reserve was handed over to Duke Francois and Boderick. trustworthy.

There are two issues that cannot be decided. The first one is to further cancel exorbitant taxes and reduce tariffs uniformly, and the other is to build at least five military fortresses on the border of the kingdom, and the dukes must pay for it themselves.

Lawn announced that the meeting would be temporarily adjourned, and the meeting would continue to discuss issues at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Everyone had a morning meeting, and they were hungry. The dukes called their attendants to arrange lunch. Lawn seized an opportunity to block the corridor in the palace who was planning to go back to his room to pray and eat alone. Morgiana: "His Highness Morgiana? Can you give me a moment?"

"What's the matter?" Morgana stopped in her tracks, her green eyes staring at Ryan, her beautiful goose egg face showed no expression: "Your Excellency, what's the matter, you should have said it in the previous meeting, no It should be said here."

"I have something very important to report to you." Lawn also said seriously.

"..." Morgiana frowned. The Lake God Witch looked at Lawn's expression, and after confirming that Lawn was serious and not joking, she nodded: "Okay, come with me."

The two came to the Chapel of the Holy Grail one after another. There are many prophets of the lake god here, and they are tidying up the scene of the chapel. Morgiana motioned for Lawn to sit down, and she said coldly: "Now you can talk."

Lawn told Morgiana all the information he had learned, Aurora's information, and his investigation of O'Brien over the past few months. Finally, he concluded: "Her Highness Morgiana, I think, It is completely appropriate to organize an army to attack Obien now, the barbarian defenses are empty, and we must also investigate the movements of the barbarians."

"You should be very clear, our lord regent, Ryan, he once clearly opposed the Obien expedition." Mogiana raised a leg under her skirt, and the lake goddess frowned. She thought about it immediately It was the national policy formulated by Ryan: "As the regent appointed and trusted by him, this is how you help him deal with internal affairs? Take advantage of his absence?"

"But the situation has changed, my lord." Lawn emphasized: "The movements of the barbarians are very strange now, and you must be aware that every time the barbarians move strangely, there is a time when something big happens. The intelligence shows this Yes, I think it is necessary to investigate."

"You need to set up an expeditionary force just for investigation? Your Excellency, your investigation is really large-scale and fanciful." Mogiana said sarcastically: "Don't think I don't know anything. Once Ryan leaves, you all want to go your own way." gone?"

"We don't want to act on our own, Your Highness." Lawn said sincerely: "We hope that through you, we can convey the news to His Majesty. It is up to His Majesty to decide whether to allow it. I know that you must have a way to contact His Majesty Ryan. , am I right?"

"You mean to inform Ryan of this plan?" Morgiana raised her eyebrows.

"Inform Ryan, and it's best to ask the lady to see if she allows..." Lawn hesitated to speak.

"What is allowed, chivalry war?" Morgiana understood what Lawn meant, and the lake goddess suddenly moved her legs together, her golden eyebrows raised straightly: "Is this the meaning of the entire northern nobles?"

"Yes, it's everyone's intention." Lawn earnestly asked: "Please be sure to convey it, as well as everyone's attitude about the construction of the military fortress, please also convey it together."

Morgiana was quite displeased. Except for facing Ryan, the Lake God Witch hated the feeling of being controlled and coerced, but she also knew that what Lawn said was true.

After hesitating for a while, Morgiana finally nodded. She looked very unhappy: "I see, I will tell Ryan and the lady about this, but whether to agree or not, and how they decide, is not up to me."

"Thank you so much!" Lawn was relieved. He knew that he had offended the Lake God and Witch because of today's incident, so he quickly got up and retreated.

On the other side of the palace, in the royal hotel, several dukes were sitting around eating together.

This is a round table, and the dukes present are François, Bohemond, Hagen, Boderick, and Boderick's eldest son, Fedmond, sitting together.

In Brittania, eating at a round table symbolizes the highest level of glory, and the status of several Holy Grail Knights makes the waiters who serve around them envious.

In the middle of the round table was a large pot of bullwhip stewing, bubbling and bubbling.

"Bossy, you bastard, I was still wondering what the good things you keep talking about." Francois filled a bowl full of burdock, and Duke Winford said a little speechlessly: "The result is this ?”

"Why, don't you like it?" Bohemond scooped up a piece of soft stewed bullwhip with a spoon, and ate it in his mouth: "This is a very nourishing thing. As an excellent knight, whether it is riding a horse, Whether you dismount or dismount, you must ensure that your lance is full of fighting power! This is the teaching of His Majesty Louis."

"No, I mean, it seems that after being cooked, this thing has no effect other than filling the stomach." Francois wondered if Berhemond had been deceived again.

Bohemond did something similar. He used to like stewed ox heart very much. It lasted for several years, until one time when he was out, a serf came to him to complain, saying that his courtiers forcibly confiscated the cattle everywhere, and the reason was— —Your Excellency the Duke wants to eat beef hearts, and every time he eats a beef heart, his courtiers will forcibly conscript a cow from the people.

Bohemond didn't understand. Beef heart is obviously cheap beef offal. If you see it in the market, you can buy a bag with a silver coin. What about the whole cow?

I don’t understand, but in order not to let his subjects suffer, the virtuous Duke has stopped eating beef hearts. His courtiers have repeatedly said that the Duke does not have to give up his hobbies for these low-level people, but the Duke refuses to continue. Eat beef heart.

His patience lasted for more than ten years. Until the last few years, Ryan's reforms made the market economy and commodity economy prosperous, and goods circulated on a large scale. A food merchant will buy and sell them in the market of Bastogne Castle, and there is a price, which is very cheap, and the duke has resumed his hobby of eating beef hearts.

Unlike Francois, all the courtiers and businessmen in the Duchy of Wenford knew that their Duke must not be fooled, otherwise he would be thrown into the cesspit by Ryan's father-in-law and drowned with a smile, and all his property would be confiscated by the way.

The Holy Grail Knights who have participated in the Holy Grail Expedition are basically aware of some problems, for example, nobles are not born to be noble, for example, they are not born to be rich.

"Hey, what to do after thinking so much, treat it as beef." Bohemond ate a few more mouthfuls, and the Red Dragon Duke said helplessly: "Look at your son-in-law, he really likes to make a fuss, and finally made a 8 Fengshan, after a few days of good life, I went to sea to find the elves first, and now I want to reduce taxes and build fortresses, can't I live a good life with peace of mind?"

"That's our king." Francois said helplessly: "Ryan, he never does boring things..."

"That's right, he's our king, but he's also your son-in-law!" Duke Hagen said angrily, "It's good for you to marry Suria to Ryan. You get all the benefits. Now you have to reduce taxes. It’s our turn to build the fortress? Isn’t this too unfair?”

"That's right." Bohemond said vaguely with Niu Dingding in his mouth.

Seeing this, Francois put down his bowl and spoon. Ryan's father-in-law took a look and found that the other three dukes had the same idea. In short, they enjoyed the current bonus period very much and did not understand why Ryan Why not let the kingdom live a good life for a few years, but toss it again, and also make tax cuts for the big nobles and send those unqualified nobles to Arabia to die.

"I didn't want to start the class at this time." Francois let out a long breath and shook his head: "Everyone, can I ask you a question?"

"What are we people to this country, and to the Kingdom of Knights, what are our duke families?"

………… I am Niu Ding Ding with the dividing line in his mouth………

At the same time, the land of the extreme north, the wasteland of chaos, and the royal court of the north.

The chaotic rift gleamed from the throbbing chasm on top of the world. One by one, four armies of Chaos Daemons, each led by a revered daemon, assembled before the Eternal Chosen Throne.

More than a dozen Chaos demon armies have assembled before the throne of the legendary Northern Royal Court.

Behind the dozens of chaotic demon armies, there are as many as 120,000 barbarian troops. Countless barbarians cover everything that can be seen in the entire chaotic wasteland. The name of the God of Darkness followed the Eternal Chosen to go south to obtain the endless glory and unimaginable rewards for mortals.

King of the Northland, Black Iron Marauder, King of Norsca, Commander of the Legion of Destruction, Son of the Blood-red Sky, Peerless Warrior who defeated the Blood God's Wife, Favored by the Four Gods of Chaos, the new Eternal God of Chaos, Black Iron- Motkin stands proudly here.

Under the throne covered with skulls and blood, hundreds of chaotic champions and chaotic gods are standing under the throne to obey orders. As long as the king gives an order, they will go south and bring destruction to those who are weak and refuse Southerners who embrace civilization.

Tzeentch God Chosen Hal-The Eye of Eternity stands on the left side of Motkin. He is a Tzeentch wizard in the sanctuary, who came from the depths of the wasteland after receiving the oracle of the evil god.

Tzeentch God's Chosen Champion Cha-Zan'ike stands behind Hal, he is not willing, but this is the will of the Demon Bird God.

Hal-Eye of Eternity walked in front of Motkin. The king had been sitting like this for a month or two. -Zhukov" and "revenge" words, every time he uttered them, his power became stronger.

"Your Excellency Eternal God's Chosen, a small part of the vanguard army has been assembled and is ready to go." Hal-Eternal Eye walked in front of Motkin and said respectfully.

"If the commander-in-chief, I will hand it over to the god-chosen champion..."
