At night, in late September 2515 in the Imperial Calendar, the Knights Kingdom of Brittany, the Duchy of Le-Angouland, the castle of the Earl of Clement, and the luxurious bedroom of the Palace of Rouen.
"I have to be sure that Baldwin's father really knows how to enjoy it."
Ryan, who had just taken a shower, was sitting on the well-designed and luxurious chair of the old Earl Clement. The King of Knights held his wife Suria in his arms, and couldn't help but inhale the aroma of her bright golden long curly hair: "The Earl of Clement's family is also a veteran aristocrat with a history of thousands of years. It is not surprising to have this kind of accumulation."
"Father told me that the real strength comes from the strength of the heart and strength, not this kind of external things." Suria, who had just taken a bath with Ryan, was now completely weak. She leaned on Ryan's arms and said softly : "However, there are very few knights who can have the strength and virtue of my father. As time goes by, knights and nobles will inevitably decay."
Ryan nodded silently. He hugged his wife tightly. After taking a bath, Suria put on a white dress with embroidered lapels and golden iris flowers. Her fair and tender skin became more and more crystal clear under the light of the water. , the two large and plump skirts are very relaxed, the skirt has a high slit, and the slender and straight gorgeous long legs under the long skirt are wrapped in a pair of black pantyhose. The high-waisted design allows the stockings to perfectly wrap Surya's beauty At the same time, the long legs outline the devil curve of the willow waist.
What is even more exciting is that the surface of the stockings is still lightly emitting light under the reflection of the oil lamp. This is a pair of bright silk pantyhose. After adding the elasticity of the black pit spider silk and the enchantment of Orika, The translucent, silky and ultra-thin gloss form a perfect sparkling fusion, allowing the graceful and elegant queen to reveal her amazing charm of glamor and incomparability.
This is the latest "Star Aurora Series" stockings produced by the Ryan Palace. Only Orika's Pale Garden can make them, and the dark elves made a few, this time for Suria first.
Of course, it's actually inconvenient for Surya to wear it like this after taking a shower, just because Ryan likes it.
Sitting on the earl's throne, Ryan and Suria chatted casually like this. The King of Knights said casually: "At most, there are five generations. Generally speaking, when it reaches the third generation, the entire noble family will gradually start to separate from the people of the people. and have separated from their roots, and began to become rotten and rigid, and the only thing that can save this family is the Holy Grail system."
"Holy Grail Expedition..." Suria couldn't help but nodded again and again: "The Holy Grail Expedition can allow knights and nobles who have completely separated from the people and don't know the specific living conditions of the bottom people to see and hear the life of serfs with their own eyes. and difficulties,
It will also make the knights and nobles understand that everything about them did not come out of thin air. Several years or even decades of expeditions will allow many knights to find the forgotten virtues of chivalry. The foundation completely collapsed. "
Ryan nodded. In the empire, the nobles have been changed for a thousand years. Even the elector family is the same. The position of elector has been handed down to the present. There is no elector family that was originally Charlemagne. The direct bloodlines of the twelve electors at the founding of the Great Emperor are gone, and most of them are not even collateral, because once the nobles who are electors pull their hips, it will be a disaster in this world where the external pressure is extremely huge .
The so-called gentleman's fortune is cut off in the fifth generation. No matter how rich the wealth and strength the ancestors left behind, it is almost time to end by the fifth generation. From this point of view, it is incredible that many knights and nobles can last for thousands of years. .
For example, in the Jia family, great gods such as Jia She and Jia Baoyu came out in almost the third and fourth generations. Even in the early days of the story, when the Jia family was still in good shape, many people had already realized that the family was gradually declining. For example, sister Lin persuaded brother Bao.
The Great God is the Great God after all, and the Great God said to his sister Lin: "If anyone is missing, we will not be missing."
This completely explains the problem, that is, in this generation, they have not realized that the luxurious life, wealth, and status come from the support of the lower class, but take it for granted that this is what they are born with, just because of their blood. .
So why can the knight nobles persist for so long?
Two reasons.
First, there is huge external pressure in this world, and the longevity of the strong will force knights and nobles to self-screen and self-eliminate. Maybe ordinary people have a generation at the age of 20, and it takes 30 to 50 years for a knight to be a master. Count as a generation.
Second, the right to decide whether to become the Holy Grail has never been monopolized by the nobles, and has always been controlled by the fairies in the lake. After being selected, each knight must pass the test of the lady through the Holy Grail expedition, and can only complete the transformation after truly comprehending the true meaning of chivalry.
But even so, the overall decay and decline of the knight aristocracy is still inevitable.
This is the "adventurous idea" that Suria gave to Ryan. As the most traditional and conservative nobleman, Duke Taubot has found it difficult to realize where the problem lies. Suria's ability to judge Duke Taubot Not bad, after Ryan appeared, he would definitely go to understand the "public opinion" and whose side the "public opinion" of the Principality of Le-Angouland was on.
However, this "public opinion" does not refer to the real public opinion. The public opinion that Duke Talbot will understand refers to the opinions of his group of nobles directly under him. It is just.
"This is the fundamental cognitive problem." Su Liya leaned in Ryan's arms and let her husband wipe oil on her black silk shiny legs, and the female knight's face gradually turned rosy: "It's also the one who has confidence in you Basically, you may only get a small amount of support among knights and nobles, but...among serfs and free people, you are the god in their hearts, dear."
"I'm not a god." Ryan said helplessly, "I'm just standing on the shoulders of great men."
The nobles are naturally easy to break away from the grassroots. The so-called corruption is not a matter of one generation, but deepens from generation to generation. The gap between classes does not appear at the beginning, but becomes more and more serious from generation to generation.
So sometimes Ryan really admired the librarian in his previous life who could not be named. Facing the complicated situation at that time, only he really went deep into the grassroots and went to the countryside to understand the situation and truly understand the root of the contradictions at that time. What, really figured out the solution to the problem.
"The next question is very simple." Suria whispered: "Based on what I know about the Duke of Taubot, he will definitely send his elite to stop you. The number of knights in Le-Angulan is not There are so many, and it will take time to gather all the knights temporarily, so they will be sent by him to intercept your main force, which is undoubtedly..."
"Le-Angulan Blue Sea Monster Marine Corps!" Ryan finally smiled smugly: "This army is basically all veterans who have expeditions with me. Before the battle, the old man only needs a few words to tell the blue sea monster marines to surrender, and Le-Angulan's army will be defeated without a fight!"
"An old man? Are you so old? Dear?" Su Liya couldn't help laughing, but she quickly stretched out her small hand to hold Ryan's big hand, and said in embarrassment: "You guy, don't If you play tricks, you just like...you like to make me show shame, and that strange expression!"
"Why, ma'am, are you uncomfortable?" Ryan gradually stretched his hand in, and the King of Knights said maliciously, "I think you like it very much."
"Shu...comfortable is very comfortable." Su Liya was so angry that she hammered Ryan's chest lightly, and she blushed: "But I always feel that you especially like to make me show shameful ugliness in private, I want to say that it's fine to show you in front of you, but you must not let outsiders see me like this, otherwise how can I have the face to continue to be your queen in the future?"
"You are my queen, my only queen." Ryan gently picked up Surya by the waist and walked into the room.
Outside the door, Sylvia, who was secretly listening to the room at the door, breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, today is another day for Ryan to favor Suria, and she can go to rest.
I can't tell whether it's joy or disappointment. Sylvia knows that she is just the lady's maid and Ryan's female courtier, and even the female courtiers are ranked very low, unlike Ms. Veronica and Ms. Teresa To be favored, it can only be said that fortunately Ryan has very few female courtiers, so it is only his turn occasionally.
As soon as she turned around, the head maid found Olika in front of her. The malicious eyes of the dark elf in black and white maid outfit made Sylvia take a step back subconsciously: "You... When did you show up? of?"
"The master is with the lady at night." Olika couldn't help but licked her lips, and the dark elf took a step forward: "Then I have no choice but to accept you."
"What do you want to do? I warn you, don't come here!" Sylvia subconsciously stretched her hand towards the saber at her waist, but the head maid collapsed before even touching the hilt. Soon Olika was blindfolded and subdued.
"Let's get along well!"
……… I am the dividing line to get along well………
Two days later, the Château of Le-Angouland, the Palace of Corduin, late at night.
Hurrying footsteps sounded from far to near, and the court minister Edward stepped forward and almost rushed towards the Duke's bedroom: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way, I want to see the Duke, right now!"
"No, Your Excellency Edward, you can't go in." An attendant stopped him and said eagerly, "The Duke just fell asleep!"
"Go away! I have something important to report to the Duke!" Edward pushed the attendant away, and opened the door of the room: "Your Excellency, it's not good!"
Duke Talbot was lying on the bed at this time, already in a state of half-dream and half-awake, he was shocked by Edward's yelling, and suddenly felt a splitting headache: "Oh! Edward, you'd better tell me something important! Otherwise, next time you will never try to break in like this again!"
"My Duke!" Edward said anxiously: "His Majesty the King and Queen Suria are less than ten kilometers away from the castle! They will arrive at the gate of the castle tomorrow."
"No, it's impossible!" Duke Talbot's whole body turned cold when he heard the news. He lifted the quilt and signaled the servants to come up and get dressed. The Duke shook his head desperately: "I didn't ask Robert to lead all the troops to stop him Is it gone?"
"Robert surrendered, Your Majesty." Edward told all the situation in a low voice: "Most of the army, including the blue sea monster marines and all the freemen and serf soldiers, all rebelled when they saw Ryan appearing, and even large Some of the knights and nearly half of the knights joined the ranks of defection on the spot, Minister Robert was surrounded, he knew that he had no chance, so he was forced to order to lay down his weapons and raise the white flag to surrender, and no one was injured during the whole process."
"Why?!" Duke Taubote grabbed the exquisite Aurora porcelain on the bed and threw it out on the ground. The Duke roared, "Why? Edward, why? These soldiers are obviously eating my food , Take my salary, shouldn’t they offer their loyalty to me? I’ve raised them for so long, why did they all betray me at the critical moment?”
"Now is not the time to think about this, Duke." Edward shook his head helplessly: "What should we do? Should we run away, or..."
"That's the end?" Duke Talbot leaned back on the armchair slumpedly. He had never been so depressed: "Just by his own strength? He didn't shed a drop of blood, didn't shoot an arrow, and he came directly. At the gate of my ancestor's castle? Who would have thought of this...?"
"If you need it, I have already made arrangements, my Duke." Edward said quickly when he saw this, "There is a passenger ship moored at the pier, and we can immediately go to sea and take refuge in Fort Marien."
"Avoid NMB!" Duke Talbot slapped Edward on the face, and the Duke shouted loudly: "This is my territory, this is my family castle, and this is my ancestor Corduin All that is left for me, refuge? What refuge?! I tell you, Edward, I'm not going anywhere, I can surrender, I can be exiled, I can even be executed, but no one will ever give up my Territory, I am Taubote, Duke of Le-Angoulant! The descendant of the first Duke of Le-Angouren and the first Holy Grail Knight Corduin!"
"Bring me a chair! Here I am sitting, waiting for the king and queen to arrive!"
The night was long, until a ray of dawn streaked across the night sky, bringing light to the world.
In the early morning, the King of Knights and his snowballed army of more than 10,000 troops had descended outside the city. Ten old guards stood under the city with large golden-roofed tents and raised the tricolor flag at the same time.
Ryan stood under the golden roof, and the King of Knights put his hands behind his back and waited quietly.
Duke Talbot was pale. His army, his subjects, and even many nobles under his command had betrayed him, but he still ordered to leave the city.
The duke walked up to the king alone, first knelt down on one knee to salute, then got up and bowed his head without saying a word.
"Taubot?" Ryan couldn't help laughing, he first sneered, then sneered: "It's okay, you're kind, you didn't abandon your territory and people to escape, but in this regard, you are doing well."
"I am a descendant of Corduin." Taubote clenched his fists, and only answered this sentence: "I am responsible for my stupidity. I am willing to die to thank my ancestors. I just ask you to spare my family, And the residents of the castle, they were involved by me, this matter has nothing to do with them!"
"Bretanians don't kill Bretanians." Ryan nodded slowly. Under the eyes of everyone, the King of Knights said lightly: "Surrender, Taubote, I will guarantee the entire Le-Ancourt Lang No one will die because of you, I will spare everyone, including old and weak women and children, serfs, freemen, knights, including your family, your wife and yourself. Duchess, I swear to the ladies. I'll give even the most brutal and rotten people a second chance."
"Gods belong to gods, mortals belong to mortals, and ladies can't take care of mortal affairs. How can I believe that you will really let us go completely, instead of retaliating after the fact?" Duke Taubot is still hesitating: "History Similar things have happened countless times."
"I'm different from them." Ryan said lightly: "I'm Ryan Macado!"
"Lian Malcador!" The two words weighed as much as a thousand pounds.
Duke Talbot looked at the more than 10,000 people behind Ryan. These were the troops that should have belonged to him. He also looked at the blue sea monster heraldry banner flying on the castle. The thousand-year-old heraldic banner stood in the ancient elf castle. The scene above the ruins and the giant lighthouse tens of meters high is still as beautiful as an oil painting.
"In that case, I agree to surrender and faithfully support your reform." Duke Taubote finally nodded painfully: "I hope you will do what you say."
"Ma'am." Ryan nodded with a smile, and he got his wish.
When the King of Knights was about to turn around and leave, Duke Taubote suddenly called out to Ryan: "Your Majesty, can you tell me an answer?"
"explain."
"What is the value of what you do? You let me go, and you let everyone go." Taubot asked, "Then what is the value of your action?"
"It's worthless." Ryan shook his head with a smile.
Duke Taubote was taken aback for a moment, he looked at Ryan's back, and didn't know what to say in a daze.
"Supreme value!" Ryan turned around again and compared his fists.
The Duke suddenly understood, he understood everything, Taubote's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees, crying bitterly.
"Your Majesty! I was wrong, I was really wrong."
The King of Knights laughed loudly, and then raised his fist towards the army outside the city. Cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami enveloped the place where the first colony of the Elven Empire was located in the Old World, and also enveloped every corner of the entire castle. a corner!
The gates of the city of Le-Angoulan are wide open, and the army is entering the city!
Ryan accomplished a miracle, the entire counter-insurgency process did not shed a single drop of blood, and no one died.
The news quickly spread throughout Britannia, and I saw Ryan's magnanimity, prestige among the common people, and his supreme strength, coupled with his ignorance of the Duke of Taubote, which allowed him to keep the Duke's position Since then, the Knight Kingdom has no voice against Ryan's reform. The conservative dukes such as Ford, Casvann, and Adehad have all changed their minds and expressed their loyalty to the Knight King's reform. The governor system was quickly arranged. Going on, all the nobles obediently handed over the governing power of the principality and shared it with the five governors appointed by Ryan.
So far, in the autumn of 2515 in the Imperial Calendar, Ryan has been in Britannia for more than 20 years, and in the eighth year of his reign as king, Ryan finally completely completed the centralization of the entire Knight Kingdom and established the "three-point old world" There is one" basis, ready for the coming final moment.
Updated, it's late today, but I still ask for votes!
