Chapter 1038, the Monsters From Nord Landed in Port De Genne
Chapter 1037, the monster from Nord landed in Port Rene
On the coast of the Claw Sea, about 6 kilometers from Clement.
Port Genney.
A newly disbanded army of Le-Angulan is following a powerful kingdom knight back home, along the broad road, looking at the barley, wheat and other food crops that are about to be harvested on the roadside, looking at the coastline Fishing boats, passenger ships and cargo ships, the soldiers were laughing and joking, or some wisecracks or dirty jokes, everyone was in high spirits, because all the packages were full of food, trophies and various coins, everyone All exude an emotion called happiness.
At the front of the team were a few kingdom knights, a dozen ranger knights, and dozens of knight retinues. The expressions on their faces were much more serious. He is the fourth son of Earl Clement, the second and most important, Sir Baldwin is the strongest, the legendary mid-level knight of the Kingdom He made the most meritorious service in the Great Expedition, and was awarded the second-class Lion Medal. The knights and soldiers all admired him.
Compared with the soldiers who didn't need to think too much, most of the knights were frowning. Even the large amount of trophies, military exploits and honors failed to make these knights show happy expressions.
They just got the news that the Duke of Le-Angoulant, Taubot, issued a public statement, fiercely opposing the decree of the Knight King Ryan. The Duke Taubot emphasized that if His Majesty the Knight King does not take back his order, then he will consider taking more drastic measures. To reject the implementation of restrictions on the privileges of the nobles and the system of regional governors.
This made this group of Le-Angulan knights who had just returned from the Great Expedition very entangled. They didn't know which side they should stand on.
As knight nobles and Le-Angulang people, Baldwin and the others should have stood with the Duke of Taubote as a matter of course, but as being impressed by the countless miraculous victories of the Knight King Ryan, they have gained a lot of benefits and glory in the Great Expedition, and they are deeply moved. For the knights surrounded by victory, they really feel that it is not a good idea to fight against the will of the Knight King, and the spirit of chivalry also makes them feel painful.
Baldwin's lieutenant, Sir Leonard, said to the hero of the principality: "What should we do next, sir, please say something, we will listen to you."
"Listen to me? I don't think so." Baldwin shook his head, his brows were tightly frowned, and he looked at the ocean in the distance: "This question is very troublesome. Please keep quiet first."
"Keep quiet?" Sir Leonard and the knights were confused by this, and Leonard couldn't help laughing: "My sir, you know, how does the Duke fight against His Majesty's army? By what? By the castle of Le-Angoulet? Or his Le-Angoulet Marines?"
"Of course the Duke can't stand against His Majesty's army,
But His Majesty's army, like ours, has just been disbanded. "Baldwin continued to shake his head: "Furthermore, if His Majesty uses the army, His Majesty will lose. Don't forget, His Excellency the Duke publicly launched an opposition as a Duke and the covenant of the twelve first-generation Holy Grail Knight families. Procedurally. "
Having said that, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, indeed.
The Duke of Talbot publicly opposed it, and it was well-founded. He used legal and reasonable channels to oppose it under the administrative framework of the entire Knight Kingdom. The Duke of Te is also loyal to Ryan after he took office, and has never had anything to do with chaos, undead, treason, or blasphemy. This is a reasonable expression of his appeal. The King of Knights should not and cannot break the unspoken rules.
Everyone chatted, but there was really no better solution, so they continued on their way home.
Soon, the originally huge team dispersed in twos and threes. A small group of soldiers and knights returned home loaded with trophies and glory. Their relatives stood at the entrance of the village and small town to welcome them. These people can now proudly hold out their chests , declaring themselves victors, bragging about their glorious history of expeditions and captures in the war, enjoying the admiration and envy of all.
In the end, only Baldwin and Leonard were left with a small group of people.
What appeared in front of me was Clement Castle, a medium-sized castle that was not very big but well-equipped. It was also the castle of Baldwin's family. The Clement family spent thousands of years of history here. Between the wall dome and the rising smoke, Baldwin knew he was home.
However, at this time, a group of serfs stood at the gate of the city, and they were negotiating with the guards angrily and desperately.
At this time, the appearance of Sir Baldwin attracted the attention of the guards. The crossbowmen, sword shield soldiers, and spearmen immediately saluted Baldwin. The castle gate with the blue sea monster family crest on a yellow background was shining brightly: " Welcome back, sir!"
"What happened?" Baldwin asked the guards. After several great expeditions (Arabi, Obien, and Motkin invasions), the majesty of the knight of the kingdom made the guards dare not look directly at him. .
"This group of serfs, they said that their village was attacked by two water monsters and a group of water ghosts, and they asked the earl for help, but the earl refused to meet them and refused to provide help. This group of people just stayed here." said the guard.
"Help us, sir!" A villager came out tremblingly and begged: "Our village is threatened by monsters. The enemies are many and strong. We have already sacrificed seventeen lads. If this continues, we will die." It's over."
A nameless fire gushed out from Baldwin's chest, and the Sir shouted at the guard: "Open the city gate, I want to go in and see my father!"
"Yes!" The guard opened the city gate, the loudspeaker turned, the drawbridge was lowered, the gate was pulled up, and the heavy gate opened. Baldwin and Leonard rode across the drawbridge, leaving behind the group of The serfs who were stopped outside.
The attendants and servants in the castle did not welcome Baldwin's return as expected, but Baldwin couldn't care less. He was eager to find out where his father, the old Earl Clement, was, and got the old earl from the servants in the reception room. After hearing the news, the kingdom knight dismounted in a hurry, without even taking off his dusty and scarred burqa, and rushed directly towards the reception room.
His father, the old Earl of Clement, was talking to an emissary. Baldwin recognized him—it was the emissary of Duke Talbot, so the issues between the two sides must be related to the recent political situation. Duke Talbot obviously came to seek his father Support, and the two sides talked happily.
The old Earl of Clement was wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with gold silk lace, an earl's crown made of gemstones, gold and silver on his head, and a sea blue cloak behind him, made of wood elf velvet. Cheng, wearing several gemstone and diamond rings on his hands, and holding a cherry wood cane inlaid with amber, seeing Baldwin coming in, the old earl was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised: "Baldwin, the expedition is back? Madam bless, this time How much did the expedition gain?"
"Father, what happened to the group of serfs outside the castle?" Baldwin cut to the chase: "Their village is in trouble. As lords, we have an obligation to send troops to help them!"
"Hey, come on." Hearing this, the old earl couldn't help but sneered and said angrily, "A group of water ghosts are worth mobilizing? What's the threat?"
"It is the knight's duty to protect the people."
"If the knights in the castle are to be sent out for anything, we will die of exhaustion, Baldwin, my son." The old Earl Clement waved his hand impatiently: "The knights will be exhausted, and the horses will be exhausted because of Tired and losing a lot of fat, those lowly bastards will become dependent on us noble blood, and they will bother us when they see a wild dog outside the village."
"That's not a wild dog, it's a large group of water ghosts and two water monsters!" Baldwin emphasized: "The village has been attacked, and seventeen boys have already died in battle. If this continues, the village will be razed to the ground."
"A large group of water ghosts, two water monsters?" The old Earl Clement became even more impatient: "Have you seen it with your own eyes? With which eye did you see it? How many water ghosts are there? How big are the water monsters? Just believe what a group of lowly serfs say." How do you know they're not using you? Tricking you? How can you be sure they're a threat to the village and not just passing by?"
Baldwin had nothing to say for a moment.
"Hey, kid, sit down and rest for a while, come and taste the super wine from Wenfort that I managed to get - Lusalus." The old earl's attention quickly shifted to other things: "Why? So, how was the expedition? Did you like my layout of the reception room? But I think there are many things missing, including good tapestries and more artwork, and you brothers and sisters still lack a dress like mine , There are many places to use money, let's see how much you bring back."
"Your people are threatened by monsters, and you, father, you only think about the decoration of the reception room and your dress? This is the virtue of our first Holy Grail Knight Corduin, the first Holy Grail Knight of Le-Angulan. inherited?"
"Baldwin!" The old earl waved his hand impatiently: "Don't question my chivalry virtue, I go on a pilgrimage to Courona every year! As I said, serfs must learn to solve their own problems! We knights cannot go every time. Save them."
"Your pilgrimage?" Baldwin finally got angry, and he ruthlessly revealed the truth of his father's pilgrimage: "Oh, I know what role-playing you play, you go to Courona in the morning, make a pilgrimage at the Cathedral of the Holy Grail and ask the lady Pray, feel the glorious deeds of the Holy Grail Knights, and then rush to the royal restaurant of the palace at noon to arrange a snail and foie gras feast."
"Go to the Lion Ring Racecourse in the afternoon to watch the equestrian competition and the lance duel, appreciate and discuss the traditional skills of the knights, and then go to the masquerade ball in the evening, and ask Kislev or other blondes from other places to accompany you, Order two at a time, play until you are tired and sleep on the blanket at the banquet, and sleep until noon the next day to prepare the carriage and go home. Is this your chivalrous virtue? When I went to Arabia for the family expedition, you Can you realize your 'Knight's way' with peace of mind?"
The atmosphere changed in an instant, the old earl's face turned red and white, and he roared: "Enough, my lady, you greedy and miserly wretch, I know you don't want to share your spoils, then you will give it to me." I'm going to get out, go back to your fief!"
Maybe it was because he didn't expect that his father would change his mind even if he said this, so Baldwin gritted his teeth, turned around and left, and the old earl didn't speak until he was near the door.
"You are not welcome here, Baldwin, my son, you are not allowed to enter our family's castle again without my order."
"As you wish." Baldwin burst out a few words from between his teeth, and then went out without looking back.
For the first time, the Knights of the Kingdom rejoiced that the criteria for selecting the Knights of the Holy Grail were never in the hands of these decadent old nobles, but were always firmly in the hands of the ladies. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Knights might have been as corrupt as his father It's scum.
After coming out of the castle, the serfs immediately gathered together, and the village elder looked at the kingdom knight expectantly.
"How is the situation?" Leonard asked, "Did the Earl agree to send troops?"
"He only pays attention to the decoration of his reception room and the silk robe." Baldwin said coldly: "But I will not let the village fall, and I will not let the water ghosts wreak havoc in the Earl."
"Soldiers! My knight brothers!" Baldwin drew out his long sword and shouted at the knights and soldiers returning from the expedition: "Who will follow me, help these villagers, and save their lives from water ghosts and water monsters?" Village?"
Under the autumn sun, the knights and soldiers returning from the expedition felt once again that the glory of victory and a strong sense of responsibility enveloped their bodies. Knight King Ryan taught these soldiers to save their compatriots from evil, What a glorious deed to defend the territory and defend the world.
"We will follow you! My ser!"
"As you wish, my sir!"
"Let these bastards and trash see our strength!"
Under the unity of will, Baldwin suddenly felt a kind of substantial will, a kind of higher and more glorious spirit enveloped himself, which was the backbone that supported the knight kingdom for thousands of years.
He knew who to pick.
"Set off!"
……… I am the dividing line of departure………
At the same time, in the year 2515 of the Imperial Calendar, in September, in the border area of the Principality of Le-Angourand, in the waters around Port Rene.
It was almost time for the ebb tide, and the fishermen around Rene Port had parked their fishing boats in the port, and the civilians gathered in a few groups, discussing today's harvest and tomorrow's weather on the coast.
However, several small boats docked at an inopportune time without any notice or report.
This moment aroused everyone's vigilance, and they stood up, picked up harpoons and sticks.
The boat gradually approached, but the civilians relaxed their vigilance, and couldn't help shaking their hands excitedly.
On several small boats stood old guards wearing bearskin hats, half body armor and gorgeous military uniforms! This legendary army actually appeared here, which made the civilians extremely excited.
And the more exciting thing is yet to come, just at the bow of a small boat, Knight King Ryan Malcador and Knight Queen Surya Kumani Antry are holding hands and shoulder to shoulder, Standing proudly in the front, the dark elf Olika and the head maid Silvia stood behind them respectively!
The people at the port were boiling. They cheered and screamed, and they came forward to help the small boats to land. People rushed up, crowded close to the Old Guards, and shouted the names of the Old Guards.
"That's His Majesty the Knight King! That's His Majesty and the Queen!" More than a dozen veterans who participated in the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition or just retired or returned to their hometowns have recognized Ryan and Suria, and they waved excitedly. Some people have already cried bitterly: "It's Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty! Ahhhh!"
Amid the cheers and the support of the crowd, Ryan took Suria's hand, jumped lightly, and jumped onto the shore. The king waved to everyone, and he and Suria were surrounded by the old guards in an instant, even so However, dozens of veterans or expedition soldiers who had just returned home crowded forward.
"Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you still remember me? I participated in the Great Expedition of Bafeng Mountain with you!" A middle-aged man in his thirties was extremely excited: "After the expedition, I obtained the status of a free citizen. I bought a fishing boat and settled here!"
"Your Majesty, I am a soldier of His Excellency the Duke, and you personally awarded me an honor at the Invalides!"
"Ma'am, I just returned from an expedition! Your Majesty has just appeared!"
"Your Majesty! Thank you! Without you, we would not have a good life now!"
"Your Majesty, I really don't want to retire. You are so cruel. I still want to go on an expedition with you!"
Waves of civilians from Port Rene came after hearing the news, followed by the local serf infantry regiment and sergeant guards. The free people of the Great Expedition, when they saw the appearance of Ryan and Suria, there was only cheers from the heart, and the people gathered to see the demeanor of the Knight King and Queen.
The tide is surging, and along with the sound waves, it hits the rock wall by the sea.
"Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!"
