Chapter 928, Remove Chaos

It's early November, and the time has gradually entered the early winter season from late autumn, and the climate in the capital, Courona, is gradually getting colder.

The victory of the Chantillon defense gave birth to five new knights. They were awarded the title of knight-errant in the palace of Courona. Ryan focused on commending the northern front army led by Karard, and personally awarded the special holy grail to Karard The Medal of the Legion of Honor, and all the meritorious soldiers below Karard have also received enough rewards. The king ordered this victory to be publicized, and at the same time reminded everyone not to take it lightly.

Ulfric and his fleet of dragonships are roaming the Sea of ​​Claws, looking for the next opportunity to invade!

Rewards for the winner, compensation for the loser, the town of Chantillon is destroyed, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two to rebuild it. This matter will be taken care of by Lawn. The town of Chantillon is under his jurisdiction, and Ryan will also hand it over to him. Do.

After a meeting, Ryan still received very little information, and a lot of information was contradictory. There was news that Ulfric's invasion had been premeditated, that the Norscans would go to war with Brittania, and some The news shows that this is just a trial and routine plunder of the northern barbarians, and even some news shows that it is because Ulfric-Wanderer and his legion were abandoned by Chaos, and they were not selected for the war with the dark elves, so This group of people came to trouble the Knight Kingdom.

With so many clues, Ryan looked through the existing news, only to feel that it was a mess, and it was difficult to distinguish which news was trustworthy, and those news were false. The King of Knights could only temporarily judge that the invasion of Chaos was not a simple one. Probing or plundering, Ryan vaguely remembered the source of Aurora's previous news, that is, it is said that a Chaos power in the north is gathering an army, but this news has not been confirmed or has any strong evidence, and the previous news has already It is shown that the target of this Chaos Power is the Dark Elves, and it has been confirmed.

Furthermore, if the prophecies of Archaon, the possible Eternal God Chosen, are collected enough to fit three large wooden boxes, do you think people in the old world have no idea?

The empire has sent several armies, demon hunters, and battle priests to find Archaon, but they either disappeared or became chaotic idiots and loyal followers of Chaos.

Brittania also sent some knights to the Chaos Wasteland. Some died in battle, some were corrupted by Chaos, and they came back to Britannia to preach the Slaanesh dogma and were finally purged by burning. The most famous expedition knight His name was Gillette, and he met the famous Slaanesh demon Azazel. During the one-on-one duel, the expedition knight suddenly kneeled down in front of the Slaanesh demon and was beheaded, without any resistance during the whole process.

According to the known information so far, the only person in the world who can enter the Chaos Realm in the Chaos Wasteland and come back intact is the Dark Elf Witch King Malekith, but in fact Ryan learned from Lilith that Malekith also It's not a true "retreat" in the true sense. He was able to successfully return to Naggaroth. In addition to his blood of the Phoenix King, the transaction between the witch queen Morasi and Slaanesh, as well as the sacrifice of countless most precious sacrifices, including Only the magic toad Shi Lan, acquired at countless costs, managed to do it.

Ryan himself didn't dare to venture into the Chaos Wasteland, not because he was timid, but if he ventured into the Chaos Wasteland, he would be like a firefly in the dark, a husky among wolves, and he could guarantee that he would be spotted by countless Chaos Demons wherever he went And to attack them together, even the original body can't consume so much.

What, you mean the Gray Knight's mentor, Kaldor Diego? Slaughtering demons in the Warp for years?

There are two points to be emphasized here. First, the subspace is not equal to the realm of chaos, and there is not only chaos in the subspace.

Second, Diego's strength is at the demigod level, but he is not as invincible as he imagined. He was trapped in the subspace for life after being cursed by Muka, the rebirth of the great demon of chaos. Don't look at him killing so happily, in fact, it's just that the four gods of chaos are waiting for him to be corrupted and degenerate, so they don't spend special energy on dealing with him, and the demons he kills, the destroyed chaotic area will be endlessly reborn and restored.

This is different for Ryan. As the Primarch of the Gray Knight, except for the Chaos Demon, he has no ability to completely kill him. If other Chaos Demons are killed by him, they are really completely dead. The Chaos gadgets he destroyed are really destroyed. .

Third, one of the important reasons why Diego was able to defeat Mortarion was that the Emperor told him the real name of Mortarion's demon, and the Emperor's request for the Primarch of Ryan is that I will not tell you the real name of the demon , You have to interpret it yourself. This is a skill you must master as the Primarch of the Gray Knight. Ryan is only in his forties this year. It is not so easy to master this skill.

The real name of the Chaos Demon is not something that the emperor can read once, but ordinary people can remember it after repeating it. Its difficulty is about to let an ordinary person master high-level calculus from scratch, and if he fails even a little bit, he will be corrupted by Chaos , Exploding in situ, turning into chaotic eggs on the spot, etc., the evil results are shrouded. The first letter or pronunciation of the vast majority of demons' real names is enough to drive a large group of people crazy on the spot and directly attract countless terrifying existences.

After the meeting, Ryan immediately made two decisions. The first was to call Aurora and Teresa to Courona to assign new tasks, and the second was to summon the Empire and Kislev for news.

It only takes half a day to summon the empire, but it takes three full days to summon Kislev. All Ryan can do now is wait.

It is quite boring to be locked in the palace, and what Ryan doesn't like very much is that there are so many rules in the Krona palace, and the King of Knights will be controlled from head to toe, so after the meeting, Ryan and Karard came out to Krona alone. Walking around the outskirts of Nacheng, on the one hand, it was to listen to him describe the details of the battle, and on the other hand, it was also to show the importance he attached to him.

Early winter is gray, because at this time, the sky in Brittania is always gray, without sunlight, lifeless, early winter is yellow, and there is no spring and summer scenery in the fields, only left after harvest That big piece of withered yellow.

Some of the slack serfs and freedmen chose to work in the city. Recently, Lawn issued an order to recruit people to repair Chantillon Town. The freedmen who were not bad for this meal and those few copper coins were sitting on the ridges of the fields and at the gate of the manor bragging and chatting.

The sparrows began to fly in flocks, and the few yellowed leaves on the tree swirled in the winter wind. It seemed that they were about to fall from the tree, and the joy of harvest still lingered on everyone's faces On the road, the big guys didn't notice the passing carriages and the people listening in the corner, but they were discussing the recent harvest and the Battle of Chantillon to their heart's content.

Because of the great victory, the civilians not only felt honored, but also had a heated discussion. Most of them could not do without the "new title of knight", "Lord Karard" and "Lord Lawn" and hid in the corner The two Holy Grail knights were not surprised by this, Ryan smiled at Karard: "You are really famous this time, my count."

"It's Your Majesty who is wise and decisive. I just played my role at the right time." Callard noticed that Ryan was very interested in the chatter of the farmers and freeman craftsmen, and Earl Garrament emphasized: "Your Majesty , do you think we should immediately dispatch the Poseidon fleet to deal with Ulfric and his Worldwalker Legion?"

"Ulfric lost a game like this, and it's not easy to regroup the army." Ryan didn't answer Karard's question directly, and the King of Knights shook his head: "Kalard, do you have a feeling?"

"How does it feel, Your Majesty?" Callard followed in Ryan's footsteps. The two of them were wearing brown robes and cloaks, looking like two travelers.

"Normally speaking, Callard, the barbarian invasions encountered in the history of Brittania generally have two endings." Ryan pointed to the manor in the distance: "The first one is that the barbarians burned, killed and looted, After you've had your fill, retreat."

"The second type is the failure of the barbarians. In this case, have you ever seen the Norscans retreat proactively? When did they not want to fight to the end?"

"Yes." Callard nodded. He recalled Egil's invasion: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Egil-Red Eye? He was able to directly break through the Lyonnaise, but he finally chose to ask for a championship duel, because He wants the boy."

"That's right." Ryan nodded, and the King of Knights looked at the wilderness of Korona, and he said seriously: "For the Norscans, the most glorious thing is undoubtedly to burn, kill and loot in the name of evil gods, and desecrate the south I know this better than anyone, don't forget, I grew up in Nord, if the Norscans do something unreasonable, there is only one conclusion, their plans are far higher As for the so-called most glorious thing, then there is only one explanation for Ulfric’s retreat, that is, there is an existence with a higher status than him, even the evil god entrusted him with a dream to make him retreat.”

"That's right, Your Majesty, that's why Lawn and I judged that this is just the beginning." Callard was not surprised that Ryan had come to this conclusion. He thought to himself that this is not like Ryan. His conclusion is something anyone can think of. , it's really a bit... superficial.

Ryan looked at Karard's expression and knew what he was thinking. The King of Knights thought you only thought of the first floor, and I thought of the third floor: "Then the question is, Karard, why did Ulfric choose the first floor? Retreat, but the second did not retreat to Norsca, and the third did not change another place to attack, but led the dragon fleet to wander back and forth in our open sea? He does not attack, loot and return, this is not the most annoying waste of evil gods Time does nothing?"

"This..." Callard couldn't answer for a moment, yes, wouldn't Ulfric waste his time doing this?

"Kalad, what do you think?" Ryan said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, I think there must be something strange about this matter." Callard immediately understood: "Based on what you know about the Norscans, Ulfric will not let it go like this, but his actions are very abnormal, which shows the There must be a bigger conspiracy."

"So, so I am eager to know more information." Ryan nodded slowly, and the King of Knights noticed that a group of traveling bands had come to the manor, and he motioned Karard to look over there: "But I always have a feeling. "

"How does it feel, Your Majesty?" Callard knew that due to the development of the economy, Britannia began to have this kind of traveling band or performance troupe, just like the empire, and they went to the manor to perform and earn a small amount of living expenses.

"Do you think that what Ulfric did is diverting our attention a little bit and holding back our main force?" Ryan said in a low voice: "So, I have a feeling that something big must happen, That's why we are eager to get more information from the empire and Kislev, if we rashly mobilize the Sea God fleet, it will become us being led by the nose by Ulfric."

"Yes!" Callard nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the band in the distance seemed to have negotiated a price with the commoners of the manor, and they began to prepare to play.

The band consists of a trumpet player, a singer, an accordion player and a marimba player.

After a cheerful prelude, the singer began to sing, and he sang moving poems and music with an emotional voice.

"From Alençon to the port of Chantillon ~ to the port of Chantillon ~"

"All of Brittania is under attack~ under attack~"

"Count Callard will lead all Bretons~lead all Bretons~"

"Tell them we have nothing to fear ~ nothing to fear ~"

The accordionist played a cheerful ditty.

"The barbarian tribes of Norsca are waking up~waking up~"

"Don't touch our country~our country~"

"Count Callard will lead and lead all Bretons~lead all Bretons~"

"Tell them we have nothing to fear ~ nothing to fear ~"

Soon the people in the manor gathered together and began to sing in a chorus full of pride, praising Karard's brilliant achievements and victory over the barbarians.

"There will be a special poem to sing about you so soon, Callard?" Ryan laughed loudly, and the King of Knights was very interested in this: "When did it appear?"

"Well, there was a group of bards in Chantillon that day. They didn't run far when they were evacuated. They were so brave that they watched the duel between Ulfric and me not far away. After we won, They wrote lyrics and composed music on the spot, and wrote this song called "reos (Remove Chaos)", and now people around Courona, even in Le-Angoulan and Lyonnaise have people singing this song." Kara De blushed a little, he was a little embarrassed: "I told Regent Lawn about it, but he said it was all good."

"It's a good thing, you deserve it." Ryan wondered why the more he listened to this song, the thirstier he became? He wanted to drink some water: "Sometimes you have to go to the grassroots to make unannounced visits. This will help you understand what the local people are thinking, and whether people's hearts are against each other."

"Yes." Callard also felt his mouth was a little dry.

At this time, an old guard musketeer dragoon came from a distance on a horse, breaking the tranquility: "Your Majesty! Urgent news from the empire! An urgent military situation signed by the emperor himself!"

"Give it to me!" Ryan immediately took the letter, and motioned for Karard to come over and read it together.

The two Holy Grails got together and looked at the words on the parchment. Their expressions gradually became distorted and distorted. Ryan's veins bulged and he crumpled the parchment.

After reading a message of hundreds of words, Callard and Ryan, whose faces were bloodshot, looked at each other. Thousands of words came together and finally became one word.

"Fuck!"

"Immediately inform all the dukes, come to Corona for a meeting immediately! Immediately!"

"yes!"

Ryan has just received the news. On the other side, the capital of the empire, Brunswick, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Parliament. .

All the electors and electors, as well as many generals and mage representatives of the empire were all present.

The enlarged meeting of the Imperial Parliament was urgently held here. (Po Xingshi Academy)
