Chapter 1073 Thank You, Taylor!
Constantinier, as the headquarters of the Legion of Ashes, was almost half destroyed after the great battle a few years ago, but with the addition of recruits and the dividends brought after this battle, the city was quickly rebuilt, This also got the help of the lizard people.
Because of this, the reconstructed Constantinier has an obvious lizardman architectural style. Forgan built a large palace for himself. Most of the palace is still used as an opera house or exhibition hall. The opera house is The favorite place for Fugan himself and the Phoenix Guards to stay, there are almost one or two performances every week. Fugan himself rewrote thousands of scripts just based on memory, from the oldest prehistoric opera of Terra Until the end of his Great Expedition, it was a single copy collected on many planets, so the theater performance became the favorite of the residents of Constantiniya.
Needless to say, there are all kinds of tapestries, paintings, sculptures and trophies in the exhibition hall that record the glorious achievements of Zifeng and his Ashes Legion. The pistol corrupted by Nurgle, called the Lantern, was sealed by Fulgrim with golden rune chains.
Outside the exhibition hall is a large market, where you can buy a selection of meat, wine, aquatic products, vegetables, fruits, pastries, cheese and honey, while luxury goods such as silk, jewelry, goldware, leather, glassware, and perfume There are all kinds of goods here. In addition to humans, lizardmen and high elves trade here all day long, and occasionally you can see dark elves or dwarves.
Fulgrim's personal residence is also extremely luxuriously furnished. The living room for external reception is luxurious and elegant, made of ivory, gold, pearls and precious stones, covered with a canopy, and the golden double-headed eagle that symbolizes the empire is decorated on the back of the throne. A pattern of eagle claws bathed in fire, the throne is very wide, covered with cushions, it is a double seat, but Fulgan never sits on the left, there is only a book on the left seat, it says "Holy Word 3.0", signed Written by Lorgar Aurelion.
Many people are very interested in this man named Luo Jia, but most of them have no such person. Only a few, such as Julius, the commander of the Chasseurs, have seen this man named Luo Jia. Others asked about Julius. Si usually just shakes his head, and at most tells others that Luo Jia is the brother of Forgen and Ryan, and his strength is similar to his own.
The inner room is the living place of Fulgrim. The marble floor is covered with exquisite brocade carpets embroidered with various flower patterns, exquisite carved ivory and silver furniture decorate each room, and crystal stained glass makes the room bright and soft.
Fulgrim's office had three huge French windows overlooking the terraced gardens, but those outside could not see inside under the magic of Mage Gold.
The garden stretches down to the sparkling sea, dotted with winding tree-lined paths, flower-filled terraces, marble fountains, and numerous pavilions among trees and flowers. Passage, from which Fulgrim can go to the port pier.
Carona, the wood elf princess, was lying on the soft sofa, covering herself with a blanket in embarrassment. She looked at Fulgrim affectionately, and felt that the past few years had passed so happily. She is charming, and she is so fascinated by Karona that she can't wait to pester him every day. In fact, her father, Alaros, the lord of the Woodlands of Tarsien, has sent messages many times to hope that Karona will go back. After all, Alaros is in Wall Finn was injured in the defense battle and needed her daughter's help, but Carona said she would not go back. Wood elves advocate freedom and casualness, and Alaros can't force her.
"You need a lizardman's solar engine?" Fulgen closed his eyes and talked to Ryan more than 10,000 kilometers away. He knew that such a long-distance call would consume a lot of spiritual energy, so he also said concisely: "What is it used for, and when do you want it? ?”
Ryan told Fulgan very briefly about his needs.
"It's almost impossible to convince the lizardmen to hand over a complete solar engine to you. There are less than a hundred of them left in Lustria, and only Venerable Crocker knows how to make them.
Also lacks paint. "Fulgan thought about it carefully, and the Primarch of the Emperor's Son subconsciously wanted to reach out to the cup on the table, but found that there was no wine in the cup, so he stretched out his hand, and from the distant wine cabinet, Breeze Tania Obiang wine flew directly into his hands.
"Is there no way you have a good relationship with the lizardman?" Ryan was a little disappointed.
"It's not completely absent." Fulgan thought for a while: "In the rebuilt golden city of Chakua and the awakened Huata, we have unearthed sun engines that have been in disrepair. I can convince Lord Kroc Give us one, and I can repair it. I have tested it, and a good solar engine can provide 1400-1500 horsepower, which can definitely meet the needs of that land cruiser... Speaking of which, you really Have you figured out the thing about sailing on dry land?"
"Oh? Elder brother can also repair engines? I thought only brothers Petrabo and Vulkan knew about this." Ryan's voice was full of interest: "I didn't expect you, Brother Forgan, to understand this too?"
I suspect that you despise me, you stinky brother! Veins popped out of Fulgen's head, who had already been spoiled by good things.
There was nothing to do today, but he just spent the night with Karona last night. In the morning, Karona changed into a dress that was said to be popular in the old world and came in to ask for sex. The wood elf princess was very clingy to him, and for Forgen , Carona, who has the blood of a god, looks hot and wild, and is tall and fit, is indeed a good bed partner. At least it is relatively strong, not easy to break or fall apart. Now, he's not particularly obsessed with doing those things, but he's not totally disinterested like many of his brothers are, in that he's a bit like Jaghatai-Khan, Primarch of the White Scars, with or without.
But it's very uncomfortable if things are half planned, so Fulgan's tone began to become dangerous: "Oh? Are you doubting me? Brother, let me tell you, if there is an STC that can be used in this world, I can use it. A hammer knocks out an Emperor's Baneblade, but don't forget, I was born as a miner, and there is nothing I don't understand technically."
You also know that you are a miner? If you didn't tell me, I would have thought you were born in Hobsburg or Bourbon! Ryan complained in his heart, perfect, extravagant, high-spirited.
"How to do it specifically, brother, please make a condition." There was a little silence for a while, the consumption of long-distance psionic communication was still quite high, and Ryan couldn't help showing his cards directly.
"I need an elite army of knights, preferably expeditionary knights." Fulgan thought for a while, and first set out his own conditions: "In addition, I will import 10 million troops from you at the normal price." kilos of grain."
"Yes, I will persuade the lady to send a 30-man expeditionary knight unit, plus a 500-man knight retinue and a reinforced battalion of free folk infantry to go to Lustria and hand it over to your commander. It will be considered an experience." Ryan did not Too much hesitation: "I have a lot of grain here, a lot, a lot. I started to build several giant grain reserves five years ago, and there should be some mobilization."
"Thank you, Taro!"
"You're welcome, Saffron!"
The final moment is getting closer and closer, and Ryan has consciously started to store food on a large scale. The major dukes and governors have also obediently obeyed Ryan's orders and established large-scale reserves, but Ryan has not been crucified. If the dukes see When the price of grain is high, they will take the opportunity to sell some. The dukes and the King of Knights agreed to advance and retreat on the price of grain. Although Duke Ford and Duke Theodoric were somewhat dissatisfied with this, no one dared to resist Ryan's plan. Decide.
In addition to the food reserves of the knights and nobles, the most amazing thing is the reserves of the Church of the Fairy of the Lake. There are more than 100 million kilograms of grain, and some old grains have been sold recently for charity, and there are still about 80 million kilograms.
"This is just my condition." Fulgan added: "As for the conditions of the lizard people, I will discuss it with Lord Mazda-Moody, just wait a moment."
"good!"
After hanging up the psychic communication, Ryan suddenly lost all sexuality. The King of Knights hugged Emilia and put it next to him, holding Suria's beautiful feet wrapped in black pearlescent glossy silky satin pantyhose with both hands. He smiled wryly and said, "It's a bit difficult. Elder Fulgen wants a team of expeditionary knights and a battalion of retinue infantry."
"The matter of the expedition knights is not difficult to solve." Suria was stunned for a moment, and the queen of knights nodded: "In recent years, there have been a large number of kingdom knights in the country who intend to put down all secular titles and start the Holy Grail expedition. Let me tell the lady and arrange one. There is no problem with the mission of the collective holy grail expedition. As for the food, this year's food harvest is still good. Although 10 million kilograms is a lot, it is not impossible to adjust the export a little bit, and it is not impossible for Brother Fulgen to give it to us. Money." 12345
"That's what you say, but it's still very troublesome!" Ryan had a bitter face, and he couldn't help but fell back: "Why can't Brother Fulgan help me buy one for free?"
"It's best to get one for me too!" Emilia's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this. Nuer's hostess doesn't know much about technology. That's for the sophisticated things of Maybach's chief engineer. Speaking of which, she still knows a lot of basic knowledge, and heard that there will be a god-level engine with a horsepower of 1,500? !
This is a good thing! Waiting to get one to Nur and let Maybach and the others understand the principle, wouldn't it be possible to create something that spans the entire era? !
I, Nur, must also share this good thing! Thinking of this, the Duchess of the Empire didn't care about anything, she jumped on Ryan, hanging on her hands and feet, and said softly: "Lion, give me a whole one too!"
"What's the whole thing? You are already the mother of three children, and you want to make another one?" Ryan maliciously asked Emilia to find a comfortable position in his arms, and touched his little maid. The delicate long legs wrapped in ultra-thin jacquard polka-dot fluorescent pantyhose gently pinched her delicate and small silk feet, and Ryan was excited again.
"Ryan!" Before Emilia could speak, Suria said displeasedly: "I have no objection to you doing something, but wait until the banquet is over first, and last time, Seele-Trowey I haven't settled with you yet for Ke's matter!"
"I was wrong, ma'am!" Ryan really felt ashamed of Surya in this matter, so he could only bow his head in embarrassment: "I was also forced, the situation has changed."
"Oh? Really?" Suria had a half-smile on her face, and the Queen of Knights just pressed her a little bit, and didn't intend to be serious with Ryan: "This is at most half of the reason. I understand you. As long as you don't want to, they can't coerce you." your."
"Hey hey hey~" Ryan laughed awkwardly and scratched his head.
Suria also went to the end, and still wanted to save face for Ryan in front of Emilia, although Emilia must have seen it, and the Queen of Knights leaned on Ryan's shoulder again: "The sun engine thing, definitely It doesn't burn coal or wood, does it?"
Burning coal or burning wood can burn 1500 horsepower? Nanur's steam tank has long been in the sky.
"Well." Ryan nodded, and the King of Knights said to Emilia with a serious face: "This is what I want to say, Emilia, the solar engine needs psionic energy or magical wind."
"Oh~ it's okay, there's Frederick!" Emilia didn't care.
Sons are for sale!
"Just him? You are a small horse-drawn cart! Emilia! How can you sell your son like this!" Ryan was amused, and the King of Knights smiled with his little maid in his arms: "On Frederick's point Psychic power is simply not enough to fill that big hole, and nine times out of ten, I will be required to recharge it, or at worst, the five Gray Knight recruits, or Veronica, if possible."
"Speaking of which, Veronica, including Teresa and Aurora, have seldom helped you since rebuilding the Garland Council, right?" Suria remembered something else, and the Queen of Knights said softly: " It costs so much budget every year, I know they are your female courtiers, but don’t make them too comfortable, right? Money doesn’t come so easily.”
"Nur was not built overnight, Sister Suria." Emilia spoke for Veronica and Teresa instead, and the little maid changed her sitting position: "The wizard's guild was created from scratch. It’s a huge expense. Nuer’s black lady has been dispatched no more than ten times for decades, and she still has to cut a large chunk of budget from the city council every year? But she has saved Nuer more than once at critical moments.”
"Well... that's right." Surya glanced at Emilia.
Sure enough, come and go, this little maid is my biggest opponent!
Ryan was thinking.
Veronica, Teresa, and Aurora ate a lot of budget for reconstruction, and it is difficult to exert their combat effectiveness temporarily. This is one aspect, and the other aspect is also related to the escalation of Ryan's battle.
To put it simply, if Ryan doesn't use Veronica and the others, they won't be. If they do, it will be a battle with dozens of legion-level and a large number of Sanctuary powerhouses. The role that Veronica and the others can play begins to change. Teresa and Aurora, who have limited income, don't like to go out and are not strong enough, have even faded out of the main battle sequence.
Teresa and Aurora are also doing intelligence work, so it’s okay to keep the house, but Veronica can’t let her just take money and do nothing, so the light magic vehicle must be assembled on the Land Cruiser.
Ryan firmly believes that this will be the key to victory in the next series of wars.
Now, there is only the problem of the engine left to be solved.
After waiting for about an hour, Fulgrim's psionic message arrived.
"Brother, in principle, Lord Mazda-Moody agreed to your request, but there is an exchange condition for this." Fulgan's voice came from within the warp space: "The eldest sons of the Old Sages request that you and your knights At a suitable time, the army crossed the sea to attack the city of the ancient holy ruins of Albion—Konquata, where there are a large number of Chaos Demons and barbarians entrenched."
"What's the purpose?" Ryan asked suspiciously.
"Her Majesty Crocker intends to use the Stonehenge of the Old Sage in Konquata to summon an ancient giant lizard, the first batch of forest elves hatched by the Old Sage, and the most powerful one left by the Old Sage to the world when the stars are listed in the appropriate position. One of the guardians, a demigod, once wiped out the existence of five Chaos demon legions by himself."
"Its name is Wanderer-Nakai!"
