Chapter 990, Harvest After the War
Chapter 989, Harvest after the war
"This is the bear that my father asked me to bring back from the Far East. It is said that in the Far East, they are called iron eaters." Russ walked from the side, and the Primarch of the Space Wolf Gene said to Ryan: "Father said that this creature It has a history of more than eight million years, and it has been extinct in the holy Terra, which makes my father deeply regretful, there are still in this world, my father specially ordered me to go to the Far East to get two ends, and see how to send it back to Terra.”
"Father likes pandas very much?" Ryan crossed his arms and saw pandas here. The King of Knights felt a long-lost warmth in his heart: "Is he going to change the pattern of the imperial double-headed eagle into this panda pattern in the future? Hmm ? From now on, the helmets of the imperial guards will be panda heads, and the double-headed eagle on Fulgen's chest should also be changed into panda faces."
"What qualifications do you have to control your father's decision? Just do your part." Ruth mocked Ryan, "Don't think you can decide anything."
Ryan gave him a sideways glance as if he hadn't heard.
Russ was making fun of himself, but when he was about to get angry, he remembered that the emperor had scolded him in his dream, so he lost his temper a little, so he could only continue to say: "In the Far East, this kind of creature is regarded as a beast of the gods. Its lifespan Generally, it can reach more than six hundred years, and there are also those of a thousand years. This kind of creature has very high intelligence, and don't look at how cute these rolling things are. When I found these two guys on the mountains of the Far East, you knew they were What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Ryan asked casually.
"They ate the corpse of a Chimera together." Ruth said helplessly, "It even spit fireballs at me!"
"Then how did you get them to follow you?"
"Iron-eating beasts are widely worshiped by the Cathay and the Mudeng people. It is considered a symbol of strength and longevity. At the same time, these giant bears seldom hurt people, but they especially like to hunt and kill evil beasts. They are particularly sensitive and hostile to the atmosphere of chaos. It has been a long time to be able to distinguish between goodwill and malice. Humans like these giant bears to protect the forest and often pay tribute to them. Iron-eating beasts are also familiar with humans. They know that humans like them and will provide them with delicious food." Ruth said helplessly. Said: "After I showed my strength and the ability to provide enough food, two young guys in their population were willing to leave with me."
"But... shouldn't pandas like to eat bamboo?" Ryan asked in confusion.
"Bamboo? Are you kidding?" Ruth yelled dissatisfiedly: "The iron-eaters especially like honey and fresh milk, and then meat and all kinds of sweet fruits. They will only eat some plants when they have to."
"Ah! That's right!" Ryan patted his head, and the King of Knights knew that he had taken it for granted.
Bears are omnivorous animals! The ancestors of pandas have always eaten meat.
In the previous life, pandas would eventually evolve to eat bamboo because these guys were lazy, do not like to move, and were not good at hunting and obtaining meat. But even in the previous life, pandas would never let go of eating meat if they had the opportunity. They especially like to eat bamboo rats —a big rat that eats bamboo roots.
In addition to bamboo rats, pandas also eat anything. In this world, pandas have mutated due to the wind of chaos. They are huge, standing two or three meters tall, long-lived, full of strength, and able to breathe fire. Naturally, there is no reason Go eat bamboo again.
Empiricism kills people.
"Look! This is my favorite direwolf! I found it on the Kurgan steppe!" Ruth went on to show off his wolf: "I like this female wolf the most. Look at her hair. The ground is beautiful, except for the outer gray fur, there are silver fur along the neck and belly here, I named her Texas, this is my greatest achievement in the Far East!"
"Okay, okay~ Texas is just Texas, I still have silver ash, early dew and skyfire!" Ryan didn't want to hear this, he said to Ruth: "I'll go and see what was captured after this battle first, Didn't you say you want to compensate me for the loss, get ready!"
"Okay, when you're done with that, you can find me in the mine of the dwarves' refuge. Everything is there." Ruth was very upset when he saw that Ryan was not interested. Talk to Vulcan.
"Davout, Raymond, and Bertrand?" Ryan noticed Davout and Raymond who were watching the excitement, and the King of Knights asked.
"The commander-in-chief is having a meeting in the Bull Castle, and the Duke of Lawn and His Royal Highness Morgiana are also there." Davu replied. A chicken leg.
"Okay, you two call a few people to come with me." Ryan said with a smile: "Just give it the chicken legs."
Both Davu and Raymond saluted to express their understanding. Davu approached cautiously and handed the chicken leg to the panda. The panda sniffed it and took it with its mouth. He crushed the chicken leg and swallowed the meat and bones.
It smells so good!
Five minutes later, the door to the internal conference hall of Bull Castle was pushed open heavily.
A row of twenty old guards followed Ryan and walked into the hall.
Attending the meeting were Elector Vamir, Elector Boris, Rick Marshal Helberg, Butcher King Agrim-Iron Fist, Lake God Witch Morgiana, Kingdom Regent Raun, and Old Guard Commander Bate Lang.
Everyone is discussing two issues. The first is how to continue marching. You must know that the war is not yet completely over. It is foreseeable that the Chaos Army will inevitably fall into civil strife and defeat after losing the commander of the Eternal God. However, there are still many battles to be fought to wipe out the Chaos army or drive them out of the empire.
The second question is, how should the seizure of this war be distributed?
"We seized a total of 83,000 gold ducats and more than 156,000 silver tenga (Kislev currency) in the camp of the Chaos army, and about twelve large boxes of various gems And precious metals, and more than 10,000 imperial currency, we plan to distribute this money after discussion.” Elector Boris said to the crowd, as the three most authoritative and powerful electors in the empire One, Boris is the representative of the northern nobles of the empire. If Emilia does not come, he can speak on behalf of the empire.
"Well, you say." Ryan nodded slightly, and the Chaos army carried a large amount of seized currency, precious metals, and gems with them.
"Osterland paid the greatest sacrifice in this war. According to rough statistics, about 65% of the adult males in the province died in this invasion. If it weren't for them, the Chaos army might have already broken into the core of the empire. " Boris said to Ryan and the others: "Therefore, 30% of the spoils will be distributed to the Osterland to support the dead, treat the wounded and rebuild their homes. Do you have any objections?"
"I have no objection." Everyone nodded. Osterland had the greatest sacrifice and loss in this war.
"Then Nordland and Ostermarkland. These two provinces also made great sacrifices in resisting the Chaos army. Bekafin resisted the Nurgle Legion and Tzeentch Legion for us, and the Nord Army resisted the Chaos army. The Chaos army that captured the Brass Fortress also worked hard to ensure that the Norse dragon fleet did not enter the hinterland of the empire, so we will distribute 20% of the spoils to them." Boris continued.
Then, as an ally of the empire, Brittania first rushed to the rescue of Erengrad, helped Erengrad to break through and launched "Operation Bagration" together with Kislev's army to defeat the Norsca Mountains Army He also made great contributions to killing the high king of Norsca, Aislin, on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Ryan personally led the army of chivalry to support the empire. The battle of the Swamp of Pain, the Battle of the Three Kings, the Battle of Herzig, and the Battle of Wolfen, the army of chivalry continued to complete epic and brilliant victories. With the help of the Litanians, they will also distribute 30% of the spoils.
The last 20% will be allocated by the Midden Land, Hawke Land, and the reinforcements in the southern part of the Empire. It also includes a small part of about 3,000 gold coins that will be returned to Queen Katalin to express the imperial people and Brittany The spirit of the Nigerians to pick up money.
Roughly calculated, Ryan will be allocated about 25,000 Kislev gold ducats and 46,000 silver tenga, plus 3 large boxes of treasures and some precious metals. After conversion, the total value of wealth is about 36,000 gold kroner.
This allocation amount is actually a bit low for the Knight Kingdom. Under the leadership of Ryan this time, Brittania can be said to be the best in the country. Only Francois has not participated in the battle, and the Knight King is even more Coming to the front line in person, 30% is really not much.
However, the character design of the Knight Kingdom is chivalrous. In addition, the mutual aid covenant with the empire, military pay, and logistics are all provided by the empire. Ryan is also embarrassed to ask for too much, which is commonly known as "the food should not be too ugly", and then consider Afterwards, the layout and this time the north of the empire did suffer heavy losses, and the disbursement of dead money and extinct wealth is really detrimental to reputation. Ryan also nodded and agreed to this distribution plan.
Not making a profit, nor is it a great loss, everyone can accept it. After seeing Ryan agreeing, everyone was relieved.
Especially Boris, of course Boris knows that this distribution plan is slightly biased towards the empire, but what do you want him to do? Are you an imperial man? Are you speaking for the empire?
Morgiana's slender golden eyebrows frowned slightly, but she couldn't say much when she saw that Ryan had agreed. Lawn was unwilling to quarrel with the Imperials at this time for the sake of the overall situation, and he also felt that he had to give in appropriately. Some, the destruction of the northern part of the empire is not good for Brittania.
Emilia hasn't arrived yet, the army still needs to rest, and the refugees need to be resettled. The meeting will be dismissed soon. Lawn still has things to deal with, and the list of wounded and dead soldiers has not yet been released.
Ryan signaled Bertrand and Morgiana to follow him.
Coming out of the Bull Castle, Bertrand, the commander-in-chief of the Old Guards, whispered to Ryan: "Your Majesty, what are your plans next?"
"How to plan?" Ryan immediately realized something: "Is there any plan for the empire?"
"Well." Bertrand thought for a moment, and then said: "Although he didn't say it clearly, the empire seems to have planned to divide its forces to attack. It is said that Boris plans to go north to support the empire, and Marshal Rick Helberg wants to go east to support Ostermark."
"Normally, there are 100,000 reinforcements arriving in the south of the empire one after another. It is impossible for 100,000 people to squat in one place. This is a great waste of combat power." Ryan nodded slowly, and the King of Knights began to think about the entire battle situation.
Now that the Chaos army is in a bad mood, most of them are stragglers. This is an opportunity to beat the dogs in the water and earn a lot of military exploits. It is normal for the empire to plan like this.
Mogiana was holding the holy grail of potions, and the witch of the lake was a little dissatisfied with the empire's actions. She continued: "It seems that the empire has no energy to help Kislev restore the country, and Emperor Karl Franz should have some knowledge before leaving. I told Helberg to end the war as soon as possible."
"The empire is under a lot of logistical pressure." Ryan nodded helplessly. Hundreds of thousands of troops eat horses and chews every day. Osterland has completely lost its ability to be self-sufficient. All resources are waiting for the supply from the south of the empire. It is also very stressful for Kahuang to deploy supplies in the back. It is understandable that he hopes that the war will end as soon as possible: "Bertrand, what do you think?"
"I think it seems to be the same. In the previous meeting, Marshal Rick and Elector Boris have been discussing how to recover the territory of the Ostland-occupied area and be alert to the enemy's movements in the direction of the Brass Fortress in the Central Mountain Range, but they have not mentioned it. What about Kislev." Bertrand thought carefully, his two long beards swaying from side to side: "But I can't figure it out, Kislev is the barrier to the north of the empire, if this continues, then the north will Once there is a change in the barbarians, Osterland and Ostermark will bear the brunt."
"Is there any news about the Erengrad army led by Marshal Rokossovsky and the army led by François?" Ryan didn't think about this question for too long, and the King of Knights then asked.
"There have been some changes in the Erengrad army, and the army has mutinied. We will talk about this later. As for François's army, about 15,000 people are now approaching Tarabheim." Mogiana summarized the current situation. Information, the Lake God Witch continued: "Also, Ryan, where are you taking us?"
A group of people headed towards the path behind the Bull Castle and entered the central mountain range. This was once the home of the dwarves, and it was also a mine and refuge for the dwarves. When Motkin besieged Wolfenburg, all the old and weak women and children were in the cave. Refugees inside are crowded with people. Along the way, although a lot of evacuations have been evacuated, refugees are still everywhere. Most of them are crowded together, using body heat to keep each other warm. The serious shortage of food rations has left many people starving. As skinny as a stick, seeing Ryan, Morgiana, and the old guard who were famous in the old world appearing here, many people had a light of hope in their eyes, but no one dared to step forward.
"I'm going to take you to some healthy ones." Ryan looked up at the stalactite pillars and the huge underground lake in the cave, and the King of Knights identified the direction.
"Here! Ryan, here!" Ruth's voice sounded from the exit of a mine.
In the hidden pit, there are dozens of large boxes on the ground.
A dazzling golden light shot out from the gap in the box, and everyone's eyes lit up. Ryan walked quickly and pulled the box away!
Wow! Golden legend!
Inside the big box was a pile of gold coins like a hill!
The whole body of this gold coin is golden yellow, in the shape of a long oval, with patterns of mountains and cavalry branded on it, and the surface of the gold coin has a faint red color, which can be seen at a glance as high-quality gold. Ryan picked up one and found Chrysanthemum and Siling pattern printed on the side: "This is? Ni Peng's gold coin?!"
"That's right, high-quality gold with a little red on it, chrysanthemum and four-diamond patterns on the brand, and mountain peaks and cavalry patterns on the other side. This is the most famous Jiazhou gold in the Far East." Leman Russ laughed loudly. He seemed very proud: "There are more than 8,000 pieces of Jiazhou gold here! This kind of gold coin can be exchanged for about 120,000 Imperial Gold Marks in the old world! How about it, brother, I said I will compensate you for the loss!"
"Oh! Brother, it seems that your trip to the Far East has been rewarding!" Ryan's eyes lit up immediately, and the King of Knights opened ten large boxes in a row, all of which were filled with the famous Nipeng Jiazhou gold!
More than 8,000 pieces of gold! Even the eyes of Morgiana, Bertrand and Raymond who were standing aside were filled with golden light!
"It's not over yet!" Leman Russ then opened the remaining boxes one by one.
Gold and silver!
Even Morgiana, who had seen the most gold and silver, felt that she was about to suffocate.
Next, there are eight large boxes of gold ingots and thirty-four large boxes of silver ingots!
"There are more than 1,100 gold ingots here, a total of 17,000 taels of gold! There are also more than 64,800 taels of silver!" Leman Russ opened all the boxes, and the space wolf gene originally He said complacently, "How is it? Brother, do the math yourself, is the money enough to compensate you for your losses?"
"Enough, enough~" Ryan couldn't help being ecstatic when he saw so much money, and the corners of his mouth reached his ears. It bears the official seal of the Zhendan Wu Dynasty. Ryan carefully identified it, and it was printed with "Guangyuan Tongbao", "Yonglong Tongbao" and "Hongxu Tongbao". Where did you get so much gold and silver?"
"Ah? Me, I robbed the two convoys of military pay sent by Cathay to the Protectorate of the Western Regions." Leman Russ said casually, "There are also a few large merchant treasuries and treasuries on the nine sides of Cathay, who specialize in picking money. If you start with a lot, there will be so many together.”
Ryan: "..."
This money is a bit hot, so it's better to melt it as soon as possible when I go back.
The King of Knights suddenly felt that he could forgive Ruth's previous rudeness and misjudgment. After all, we are brothers. How can there be such a thing as an overnight feud?
After all, what he gave...was really too much.
Now that my father has intervened, we are still good brothers~
Without refusal, Ryan accepted all the large sum of money with a smile.
On this day, there was good news in the Britannian army! Knight King Ryan generously announced that in order to thank all the soldiers for their hard work in fighting in foreign lands and to carry forward the virtues of chivalry, the total spoils that the Knight Kingdom received from the Empire will be divided into about 25,000 Kislev Gold Ducats and about 46,000 Yin Dengjia, the knight king of benevolence does not leave a single one, and bestows all of them! Everyone has a reward!
Nothing can win the hearts of subordinates more than generous rewards. All of a sudden, every soldier in the Britannian army was rewarded generously, and everyone couldn't help shouting long live.
"Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!"
"Long live His Majesty Ryan! Long live Ma'am!"
"Long live Brittany!"
Long live the ticket! Long live full booking! Long live the reward! For the sake of Ryan's generosity, everyone should be more generous, it's the last day!
