Love letter or two hundred days, this is a problem.
Although the former only wrote a letter, Ryan is not Forgan. The Primarch of the Emperor's Children Song and Dance Troupe is proficient in playing, playing and singing. Also likes Lustria minor, masters at least eight languages.
Most of Ryan's energy has been concentrated on military and political affairs, and the literary level of this kind of love letter can only be regarded as passable. Don't look at Talleyrand's praise of Ryan's words, in fact, the cunning high elves have already included in their words Hide the reminder.
"I would say perfect, Your Majesty, it's too perfect, at a human level."
Emphasis: On a human level.
What this cunning high elf actually revealed is that your level of love letters is only passable.
It depends on the level of the monarch. If the monarch can understand and see through his thoughts, the cripple can be regarded as a very good private minister who keeps his own place, works effectively and knows how to speak beautiful words.
Like Beria, whether this level of talent can be suppressed is a test of the monarch's ability. The monarch must keep his attention and cheer up at all times. One step at a time, only in this way can they truly display their abilities.
Beria loves women, loves power, and Talleyrand loves enjoyment and wealth. This is really not a big deal for Ryan.
If it's the Tay Brothers... just look at the Kodak called Finuba (or Finuba shaped like a Kodak) and you'll know what's going on.
Ryan thought that this opening must never be opened, so... two hundred days?
How can this be?
Ryan's face turned green. In his backyard, the most powerful fighters are Morgiana and Suria. Suria has excellent physical fitness and has the emperor's blessing. Morgiana herself was carefully selected by the fairies in the lake. The divine power carrying container can store and absorb a large amount of Ryan's spiritual energy, and then Olika and Lilith, Olika is greedy for the time alone with Ryan instead of simply enjoying that kind of thing, Lilith is always extremely shy Every time I have to pull Suria together.
And then there's Emilia and Veronica.
The one with the worst combat effectiveness was undoubtedly Teresa. Female sorceresses usually surrendered in less than twenty minutes.
"Dingling, dingling, dingling~" The bell rang outside the door and saved the life of the Knight King.
The voice of the butler was sealed outside the door by Morgiana, but the bell inside the house was not affected by this.
Morgana glanced at the door bitterly, and had to let Ryan go temporarily. Ryan exclaimed in his heart that he was lucky, and quickly reached out to smooth out the wrinkles on the ankles of Morgana's long skirt and silk stockings, and then wiped them on the thin ankles of Morgana. Kissed her lips: "It's dinner, let's talk about it later."
A few minutes later, Hawke led the banquet hall of Christopher Castle.
The Empire side all sat on the right side, and the Britannia side sat on the left side, with a clear distinction. Edbrand Ludenhoff, the Elector of Hawke, saw that Ryan was in a stable mood, and he did not seem to have conflicts or disputes. He sighed in his heart, knowing that his aggressive method hadn't worked, and the tried-and-tested methods against the Britannian knights in the past hadn't worked.
No wonder Ryan is known as a great knight king who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Arthur, the first knight king. Edbrand simply said to Ryan and others: "Your Majesty the Knight King, all the dukes and noble knights on the opposite side of the mountain. Deer meat banquet, in Hawkland, venison is not a rare meat, I heard that the knights like venison very much, today I specially prepared a whole deer feast."
"Your Excellency Edbrand has a heart." Ryan just smiled. The King of Knights noticed that Veronica and Teresa hadn't returned yet, so he asked Aurora who was sitting behind him: "Teresa What about Veronica?"
Aurora changed into a set of Britannia marigold white rose fragrance shoulder classic dress to attend the banquet today. The white and slender swan neck is dotted with a delicate black bow tie, and the slender black ribbon at the tail hangs naturally in the full gully In between, she looks mature and elegant. The pointed black high-heeled shoes and honey-colored ultra-thin pantyhose fully show her body line. The intellectual and mature charm also has the unique ability and demeanor of the Garland Witch. What a lady A mature and beautiful ice wizard in the sanctuary.
Is this the restriction of His Majesty Ryan? Hawke led the elector to think so, seeing her so arrogant, she must be very favored to dare to do this, right?
The Sanctuary Witch is in a good mood at this time. There are two reasons. The first is that no matter how you say it, after years of hard work (essentially Ryan’s asylum), she is now considered to have entered the top of the Old World Pyramid. Yan Hawke's initiative to invite her is evidence, the second reason.
"They say they won't participate in military and political affairs, and they eat in the room." Aurora looked very proud, and the sanctuary witch teased with a half-smile: "Teresa said, since His Majesty Ryan can take care of his busy schedule If you have time to write love letters, they will wait for you to write two more letters after dinner."
"That's right, one letter per person." Mogiana rarely agreed with Aurora's opinion, and the Lake God Witch said to Ryan before the meeting: "It's not troublesome, there are only three or four letters in total. , give me a 'check' before writing it, the quality must pass the test."
Ryan had no choice but to nod in agreement. The King of Knights didn't want to get entangled in this issue any more. Anyway, he should have more time after the battle and go back. At that time, he would accompany Morgiana for a warm vacation or a separate hunt. During the small holiday, the Lake God Witch is not difficult to coax, she is very clingy to herself when getting along in private.
On the contrary, Aurora frowned. The sanctuary witch was thinking about it, her face flushed, she felt her chest swelled, and her lower abdomen was also a little sore. No matter how hard Aurora tried to recall her The lost memory at the beginning can no longer recall what I suffered most of the time when I was locked in the monastery, but I have recently started to have some strange dreams.
The production of venison banquet is quite simple. Hawkland has never been a place for luxury goods. The attendants killed a few deer, cleaned them, put them on the grill, cut them open with knives, and brought a large number of deer. Put the corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and venison together, pour olive oil, sprinkle with pepper, pepper, cumin, salt and various spices imported from Sinian India, and spread evenly.
After the barbecue is finished, the delicious roasted whole deer is freshly baked in this way.
Everyone was not polite. For knights and nobles, venison is a delicacy that only nobles can enjoy. It is a surprise to be able to eat a whole deer feast in Hawker today. Even Morgana ate a little too much, and Veronica and Teresa sent a whole grilled deer steak.
A big meal made the Britannians who came from the expedition very addicted. Ryan noticed that Bertrand and Davout ate the most, followed by Berhemond and Hagen. When the King of Knights was chewing the delicious and juicy venison, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Hawke recalled the old story of the Elector: "Ryan, we have received a new piece of information about the Osterland. , There are several undead knight brigades wearing blood-red armors are constantly attacking the Chaos rear army and a small group of scattered looting troops in the Chaos-occupied area, do you know about this?"
"The undead also joined this war?" Lawn was very sensitive to the undead, and the regent of the kingdom asked: "Is the information reliable?"
"It should be more reliable. This is the information sent by Ostermark." Elector Edbrand nodded and said: "It is said that these red undead knights are very powerful in combat, and they use one or two hundred people as a banner team , specially selected scattered and small numbers of Chaos troops to attack, and occasionally joined forces to attack larger Chaos battle groups. These red knights are very powerful in fighting, and many Chaos champions personally led the battle groups to fight against , conducted several championship duels, and the outcome was evenly divided, but this is already very exaggerated."
Everyone nodded, regardless of the fact that the winner was evenly split, that's the chaotic champion! In the human world, there are not many strong players who can confront the chaotic champions, especially the empire. The empire has always been famous for its basic army and variety of arms, excellent long-range firepower and powerful war machines. It is really better than the strong. The empire can single Although there are many strong fighters who can deal with chaotic champions alone, they are definitely not as good as the countless knight heroes in Britannia and the dwarf warriors in the Dwarf Mountain Kingdom who have undergone hundreds of years of training and fighting.
"This is an opportunity, everyone." Edbrand repeated the old story: "We should seize this opportunity and send troops immediately to support Wolfenburg while the Chaos army is attacked by the undead. We can defeat the Chaos army in one fell swoop, and we can rescue as many human beings as possible."
"...The undead and human beings are natural enemies. In the eyes of the undead, we are food." Ryan pondered for a few seconds, and he continued: "If someone comes to kill the pigs in your pigpen, the owner will definitely not be indifferent. "
"That's right, the undead saw that we are the pigs in their pigsty. Chaos is here. It will not only kill you and eat your pigs, but also burn your pigsty to the ground. At this time, the undead There is no reason to ignore it." Boris Todbringer said: "But the undead and us are definitely not friends, Ed, are you a little delirious?"
The Elector Hawke smiled wryly after hearing the words: "I know that the undead are not friends, Charlemagne, those skeletons just want to ride on our heads to be their masters, but at least now, they are fighting against chaos."
"This is a good thing." The Duke of Bohemond also learned Ryan's oral habit, and the old Duke said in a deep voice: "With this group of undead holding back Chaos Kingtreau, Wolfenburg can have more time to perfect his own Defense, of course, also includes Herzig, Sir Edbrand, you must be very happy, right?"
The Elector of Hawkland pointed his finger on the table embarrassingly: "I apologize to you all here, but please consider my proposal carefully, the opportunity to fight is fleeting."
This is a good elector, Ryan couldn't help sighing.
From the perspective of Britannia alone, there is no doubt that Edbrand's plan is very sinister. What he is fighting is the idea of letting the Britannia go up to fight and lose and consume their troops. For this reason, he would rather take the last 5,000 field troops led by himself and Hawke.
However, what if you look at it from the perspective of the people of Hawkland?
Edbrand Ludenhof is worthy of his title of elector and his people. For the safety of Hawkland, he is willing to give everything, including pulling down his face and asking Ryan and Boris to march, because he He deeply knew that Hawkland could no longer stand another toss, and if he fought again, he would have to give up Herzig and flee south or north.
Your arsenic, that's honey, since you are the lord of this territory and the lord of all the people, you must consider them and be responsible for them. This is a qualified nobleman.
Therefore, Ryan has no prejudice against Edbrand. This elector is a good person. During the Battle of Herzig, he could choose to close the door and wait until the battle is clear before opening the door. He did not To do so is to fight in person.
"In this case, let's discuss it again tonight." Ryan gave Edbrand a step down.
Discuss again, discuss again.
Of course, the ending is definitely not going to work. We have to wait until the reinforcements from the Empire arrive. This is just to give Edbrand an explanation and discuss the military situation internally.
After the venison feast, Ryan returned to his room. Lawn, Berhemond, Hagen, Bertrand, Davout, and Morgiana all entered the room, and a huge map of the northern border of the empire was hung on the wall.
Today, the eastern part of Nord, the entire territory of Kislev, most of Ostland and parts of Ostermark have fallen, and the imperials have marked them with black arrows.
Nearly a quarter of the entire empire has fallen, but there is still hope. The main army of chaos led by Motkin himself has penetrated deep into the abdomen of Ostland, and the Beastman army of Gertwer has been completely defeated, besieging Bekafin Both the Tzeentch Legion and the Nurgle Legion have been defeated, and Motkin's main force has entered the pocket formation called Ostland.
Except for the Motkin army, there are only about 10,000 Chaos troops who are looting around Nord and joining the Brass Fortress. These enemies Nordland should be able to solve the problem by themselves.
Ryan turned his back to the map, and the King of Knights reached out and pointed at Wolfenburg: "The question now is, is Chaos capable of conquering Wolfenburg before we arrive? Will Motkin really be as sure as the rumors are? Will try to massacre the last of the Osters and Oleg von Zhukov?"
"According to intelligence, the cause of this war is indeed the Norse Expedition." Lawn sat down, and the regent of the Kingdom thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, the march of Motkin-Black Iron Avengers The route and behavior cannot be explained militarily, for example, why he stormed the heavily fortified Von-Zhukov Castle, the only reasonable explanation is that he wants revenge, he wants to purify everything with fire and killing."
"You told Chaos a reasonable explanation?" Morgiana was very annoyed. She originally wanted to have an after-dinner event with Ryan, but was destroyed by this group of people in the meeting. The Lake God Witch said to Lawn with some displeasure : "Don't speculate on the thoughts of Chaos, Lord Lawn."
"This is not speculation." Duke Hagen looked at the map, he said: "No matter what you do, there are reasons and reasons. I also think that Motkin's initial plan and the strategy of quickly defeating Kislev show that His military ability is very strong, but after entering the territory of the empire, his level dropped seriously, and he made many decisions that did not conform to the situation and even wasted troops. There is only one explanation, his target is only Wolfen Fort and Baron Oleg."
"Yes." Ryan nodded, and the King of Knights looked at the map carefully. He pointed his hand on the isolated island in the black sea—Wolfenburg at the southeastern foot of the Central Mountain Range, and fell into deep thought.
Indeed, if Wolfenburg can be used as a bait to annihilate the Chaos army in Ostland, then for the empire, the losses caused by this war can barely be borne, but if the Chaos army is allowed to cross the Talabek River , Entering the most core and most elite area of the empire, it will not take a few or ten years for the empire to recover.
It is beneficial to Brittania if the empire does not fall, and this behemoth has a lot of benefits in the front.
So, should we try to fight a battle on the periphery of Herzig first, to see how good this chaotic main force is?
While the King of Knights was still thinking, Talleyrand pushed open the door, and the high elf approached quickly on crutches. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a message from Middenheim !"
"What news? So anxious?" Ryan didn't turn his head. The King of Knights turned his back to everyone present, and was still looking at the map, observing the forested and mountainous terrain of Ostland.
"Your Majesty, old Mr. Norman, has passed away." Talleyrand said softly in Ryan's ear.
The knight Wang Wei'an paused, and his hand on the map stopped.
The goose-yellow magic lamp and candlelight illuminate Ryan's back, which is reflected on the map.
The room is as quiet as the ancient black forest in the Central Mountain Range, you can hear a needle drop, and only the wind whistling outside the window remains.
Lawn pursed his lips, and the Regent of the Kingdom clenched his fists. Looking at Ryan's motionless back, he suddenly thought of his son Matthew Bard, and a feeling of hatred and grief shrouded his heart.
Duke Hagen and Duke Berhemond looked at each other and sighed softly.
Bertrand and Davout were silent.
And Morgiana had tears in her eyes at this time, she wanted to stand up and hug Ryan from behind, but she couldn't, it was inappropriate.
The room was as cold as ice.
Ryan just remained motionless, while the King of Knights stood quietly, his shoulders trembling slightly.
A few seconds later, the hand on Wolfenburg slowly moved down and fell down. Ryan did not turn around, still turned his back to the crowd, but nodded slightly: "I know... I know...."
"Yes." Talleyrand could hear the thick nasal voice in the master's voice, and the cripple hurried away.
"Mr. Lawn..."
"exist!"
"Everyone... you've worked hard. Today... let's stop here." Ryan still turned his back to everyone, and he slowly lowered his head.
"The meeting is over."
