Chapter 911, The Obscure Situation
When the call for help from Fort Worthgrad was received, Prager had no idea what was going on.
The commander in charge of Prager's army was General Pavlov appointed by Empress Katalin. After that, he was hired by the empire to enter the territory of the empire and worked together to assist Ostland in cleaning up the beastmen in the shadow forest.
Moreover, the generals who were purged after Katarin ascended the throne were different. General Pavlov was an obedient general who followed the rules and was appreciated by Katarin. Therefore, after the Winter War, Pavlov's status did not decline. Instead, he was appointed as Prager's city defense coach and general Kislev.
After receiving Vosgrad's request for help, General Pavlov hastily called a meeting of Poyer, the general and the nobles of Prager. Since only one verbal request for help was received, and the messenger was under attack He left at the first time, so the messenger himself was not very clear about how many barbarians came and how elite they were. What he could tell General Pavlov was that Vosgrad Fortress was attacked by a large number of artillery. Many Chaos troops under the banner of Nurgle surrounded and asked for reinforcements.
General Pavlov's face was full of confusion. Didn't the general think that the information said that the barbarians were going to fight the dark elves? Why did they suddenly go south and surrounded Fort Vosgrade?
Naturally, the messenger could not be mistaken. The general also knew that the northern barbarians had no logic or credibility at all. However, at this time, the representative of the State Duma sent by the female tsar reminded General Pavlov that Kislev’s Millennium Celebration was underway. Preparations, the whole country is preparing for this important celebration. It is obviously inappropriate to disturb our great Majesty Katarin with this news at this time. As the commander and general of the city defense of Prag appointed by His Majesty Katarin, You should try to solve the problem yourself.
General Pavlov seemed very hesitant after hearing what the representative of the Duma said. He also knew that His Majesty Katarin attached great importance to this millennium celebration. It seemed so simple, so he sent two waves of scouts to Fort Vosgrad to investigate the situation, while he waited in Prager.
As a result, after waiting for twenty-four hours, the scouts did not come back.
What no one knew was that with such a delay, Kislev had already wasted the precious time that the Vosgrad defenders had bought with their lives.
After twenty-four hours of no response, Prager realized that something was wrong.
General Pavlov made a second order that was considered absolutely stupid and wrong in hindsight. He did not report the matter to the Kislev court before making a decision. Five thousand people were drawn from the nearby Ugor tribe and the Kislev defenders, carrying a large number of firearms to support the Vosgrad defenders.
In fact, this 5,000-strong reinforcement army was ambushed by the Chaos army on the way to the fortress of Vosgrad, and many soldiers were killed by Nurgle when they were exhausted from the hasty march and had not had time to put on their armor. God's Chosen Champion Festus was wiped out.
After another period of time, when there was no news of the reinforcements, Prager realized that the situation seemed to be different from what they had expected.
Meanwhile, 2514 AD, Kislev 999, October, Old World, Brittany.
Just when Prager's reinforcements were wiped out in the coniferous forest near Vosgrade Fortress, Knight King Ryan was on vacation in Angron's manor. Of course, the king was not idle at the same time, he just put his The office has been moved to the villa in the garden here in Angron.
Ryan doesn't have a God's perspective, nor does he have a full map view. He knows nothing about Kislev's situation thousands of kilometers away. Angron practiced a lot,
After being beaten by Angron with a bruised nose, bleeding nose, and many bruises on his body, Ryan also left a footprint on Angron's forehead, and cracked his gauntlets and shoulder armor. The linen shirt and cloak that lined Angron's armor were charred black.
What hurt the King of Knights was that his son was clapping his hands and shouting, Uncle Angron, come on!
The father was really upset. After the beating, Ryan found an excuse to spank little Devonhill's ass, and then asked Orika to deliberately add a lot of green peppers that little Devonhill didn't like to eat. , making little Devonhill scream non-stop.
Suria really bent over with laughter at this scene. The Queen found it very interesting that Ryan occasionally had such a childish side. Suria finally privately signaled that little Devonhill should not do this in the future, as it would hurt her father. Glass heart, whether it's Uncle Angron, Uncle Forgen, or your father, they are all your elders and should be treated equally. If you make Dad sad like this, go and apologize to him.
The well-built little Devonhill quickly apologized to Ryan, and the King of Knights immediately forgave his son's mistakes generously, and then made his favorite finger-licking chicken. Invented, and now the Prophet Torto has become famous throughout the old world. He gave up his previous name and changed his name to Harlan Sanders. In the case of serving as the chief political commissar of the Legion of Ashes, the 56-year-old Mrs. Kesler Invented the Original Chicken Finger Lick and has several branches in Brittany, Empire, Estalia and even Sartosa.
"He changed the world with fried chicken."
———Emperor Karl Franz's affirmation (thumbs up)
"How's the progress at Sanguinius?" After dinner, under the autumn starry sky, in the open-air courtyard of Angron's manor, Angron asked the few topics he was interested in.
"The soul of Sanguinius and the scroll of the Phoenix Mantra have been sent to the Pyramid of Stars in the Southern Sky of Hesiota in the Isthmus of Lustria. Help Sanguinius expel the curse that haunts him." Ryan frowned: "Brother Fulgan said that this process will take enough time, probably at least four seasons as a healing cycle, and wait until the end of a cycle, outside The vented power will definitely attract very powerful enemies, it may be chaos, it may be ratmen, it may be dark elves or even high elves who want to know the secret."
"Sure, someone will come and try to take the soul of Sanguinius. I remember that on the eve of the siege of Terra, Karn found me and delivered me the will of Khorne. Khorne needs an angel, if necessary , you can do whatever you want, and if necessary, you can abandon anyone." Angron murmured.
"So Khorne got the Red Angel." Ryan laughed.
"Hey, I'm not the angel that Khorne wants." Angron shook his head, the Primarch of the World Eaters had a grass seed in his mouth: "I'm fine now, this way, it's fine, farm, loved ones , Leisurely, I will never do anything for my father again, that Angron has already died in Nukelia and Armageddon, Ryan, let me tell you, if one day you have this idea, I will support you, even if..."
"Brother, you have experienced too much, take a good rest." Suria recalled the recent history that Ryan told him. Because Ryan was busy a while ago, he recently told Suria that Angron was completely Turned into a brain-dead and deep well ice, playing the law of ten and ten against his heirs all day long, the emperor sent Russ and Angron to fight, Angron won the duel but lost the battle, wolf king Russ won the battle but After losing the duel, everyone felt that they had won in the end, and each retreated, but the problem was not resolved at all.
After chatting for a few words, Angron signaled him to go and see how his pigsty was doing. Recently, a pig in the pigsty mutated and grew two heads. Angron planned to check what was going on. According to the Emperor's Custodian, it appears to be a common mutation.
The two-headed pig was confiscated and taken away by the Custodian. Prayers and speeches were made in the name of the Emperor, and there was no sign of corruption.
Then they were slaughtered, skinned and hair removed, and became a supper for many people.
Little Devonhill also said that he wanted to see it. In the open-air courtyard, only Ryan, Suria, and Olyka who stood behind Ryan were left.
"Ryan, who's turn is it tonight? I remember it's Olika's turn?" Su Liya picked up the wine glass and said casually.
"Well, yes." Ryan didn't change his face. Recently, the schedule has been a bit messy. It is generally divided into Lake Fairy, Suria, Olika and Teresa. Among them, the Lake Fairy only appears with Suria. , and the goddess seems to be busy planning something recently, and she seldom shows up, so the time is quite chaotic.
As for Morgiana, who is busy with the autumn harvest recently, the church tithe is the most important income of the Fairy in the Lake Church. As far as Ryan knows, due to the bumper harvest this year, the church tithe has changed from ten to fifteen. The tax is one, but the income does not decrease but increases.
"Then I'll go see Catherine." Surya nodded.
Recently, Catherine brought her child Durenni to live in Angron Manor. Veronica's female apprentice was extremely proud. She hugged her child to show off to everyone all day long, which also made her feel happy. Countless witches envy her good luck.
For the caster, getting pregnant is a very, very difficult thing. Due to the excessive magic elements in the body, the caster rarely has children, and it is difficult even if they want to. For example, Veronica and Teresa are with Ryan We have been together for a long time without any movement.
But the Holy Grail Knight is indeed more powerful and has a certain magic resistance in this regard.
Little Devonhill's godfather, Callard, wanted Catherine to be his countess, which caused Ryan a headache, because almost all the nobles opposed it. Fortunately, due to Ryan's great prestige, the opposition was not so firm. The nobles, especially Callard's superior, the Duke of Berhemond, mean that there is no need to be so serious about being a countess. It would be good to have a chief female courtier. If it is not possible, you can designate Dureny as your first choice. The heir and find a holy grail knight as godson.
After the meal, Ryan seized the time to make out with his wife, and the two of them slipped into the master bedroom on the second floor and spent more than an hour doing some happy things, and then Suria was so tired that she took a shower and went to rest early , It was Ryan's turn to sit in the study and continue working.
In the simple and quiet study room, Ryan sat behind a large table, enjoying Orika's massage while looking down at various documents of the kingdom and everyone's reports.
Karad has assembled an army of more than 8,000 people in Courona, mainly responsible for the line from the northern coast of Courona to Le-Angulang. Most of the troops are still on standby in the outskirts of Courona as a mobile force everywhere. support.
After looking at the information sent, there has been no news from the barbarians. Ryan wondered if he was a little too cautious and made a fuss. The war between the northern barbarians and the dark elves has been verified to have indeed happened, and various sources show that in this way.
But this can be regarded as a means of centralizing power and a way to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. Ryan thought of this and smiled, but didn't care too much, and put Karard's report aside.
After reading a few more rolls of parchment and using a quill pen to make comments on it, the door of the study opened, and a scent of fragrance came in from outside.
The chief of SI7, the sanctuary witch Aurora, walked in from outside the door wearing a set of layered crystal blue and white sheer pleated skirts, her long black shimmering hair like a waterfall was replaced by a simple diamond hair. Clipped behind the head, shining pearl earrings hung on the crystal ear beads, and the delicate fleshy feet under the long skirt stepped on the slingback black pointed high-heeled shoes, a beautiful S-shaped curve appeared in front of Ryan, The slender and straight calves were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings and illuminated by the dim light in the house, making them appear smoother and more supple. The sanctuary witch also obviously put on light makeup on herself. The slender crescent eyes and silver eyes are exactly the same as Teresa. The only difference is that the sanctuary witch has a more mature and glamorous style.
"Ms. Aurora, what's the matter?" Ryan looked up from behind the pile of documents.
Aurora has been doing well recently. Since Ryan came back, she has naturally become more stubborn. The voices of the palace and knights and nobles facing Ryan have also become louder. All of this comes from Ryan's authority. This is the sanctuary witch With a deeper understanding, it is that she and Teresa would definitely die without Ryan's protection now, and the operation of MI7 has offended many people.
But since Olika came back, Aurora found that she began to experience memory loss again, especially after she was called into the servant's room by Olika yesterday afternoon, she couldn't remember what happened at all. Finding Olika standing behind Ryan, Aurora avoided Olika's eyes unnaturally: "Lyan, there is the latest news from the north."
"What news?" Ryan asked casually.
"According to our information from MI7 in Erengrad, it seems that the Norscan barbarians are besieging the Dulong City of the Norscan dwarves." Aurora handed over a thin piece of information: "Dwarfs in Dulong City Warn Kislev that there is a large-scale barbarian gathering in the north, but according to our sources, the barbarians seem to have lost 2,000 people after besieging Dulong City for a full week. There is no gain beyond ten people, and the barbarians seem to have given up continuing to attack and just kept besieging the city."
"That's it." Ryan was quite serious at first, but he relaxed after hearing the news later.
The large-scale gathering of barbarians and the fact that the barbarians are about to face the dark elves in a decisive battle, and the attack on Dulong City not only failed to gain any gains but also suffered a lot of losses during the siege of Dulong City for a whole week, Ryan thought this showed that the barbarians were not large in scale, and the knights The king is not very clear about the defense system of Dulong City, but he knows that the dwarves of Dulong City lack firearms technology. This is what the Supreme King Thorgreen told him. The small number of guns and artillery in Dulong City are great holy wars. Afterwards, the dwarves gave it to the Norsca dwarves, and the Norsca dwarves themselves could only produce the most basic dwarven muskets and ordinary cannons.
There are no iron dragon hand cannons, organ guns, flame cannons, and dwarf rotor bombers to assist in the defense of the city. According to the inference of the Bafengshan Fortress, the defense of Dulong City is about the same.
"It seems that the barbarians are just a small-scale attack." Ryan said casually, "Don't pay special attention, but the intelligence on Erengrad must be kept clear, and any news should be reported to me as soon as possible."
"But the cost of using magic to communicate from Erengrad is very high." Aurora complained.
"I will give you a special fund." Ryan knew what Aurora's idea was, and the King of Knights said with a half-smile: "Do you have any new research?"
"The book you brought back contains a great spell about summoning the supreme ice elemental lord..." Aurora akimbo confidently: "In order to master this spell, Teresa and I need more research funds."
"Well, I will allocate another sum of money to you to save some money. Also, there must be certain results before the end of the year. I need you to provide two complete sets of ice magic scrolls." Ryan agreed, The caster is such a big money eater, there is no way, and Aurora is not spending money indiscriminately, she will make a lot of potions and magic scrolls to repay Ryan's investment.
It's just that in this process, you have to have a large capital investment like Ryan to keep the turnover.
"By the way, Ryan, do you really plan to... let Catherine's little bitch... I mean let Veronica's little apprentice become the countess of Callard?" Aurora immediately asked another question things you care about.
"If you can, why not?" Ryan laughed.
Aurora suddenly felt a fire in her heart rushing to her head!
hateful! Even Catherine's little bitch can rely on her to give birth to a child, who may become a countess!
And Teresa and I...
No, I have to talk to Teresa about this matter again. Seeing Ryan's handsome appearance and incomparably majestic heroic aura, Aurora made a decision in her heart. For the future of her and Teresa, this cannot continue up.
Alternative plans have to be prepared. (Po Xingshi Academy)
