Chapter 1101, Confession in the Fog

Ryan decided to fight Chaos under the city of Konkuta, which was a helpless move.

It was impossible to capture the city of Konkuta in a short period of time, and it was impossible to retreat quickly. What is left to the army of knights is a terrible situation. , then Ryan has only two options left at this time.

Either retreat to Newland and defend against Newland's camp, or simply fight the enemy under the city of Konkuta.

But at this time, Ryan knew that no matter what choice he made, he must not dare to panic. As the military soul of Brittania, any move of the Sun King may cause the army of knights who are already in trouble to appear. Shaken, so Lane must look like he had planned.

So Ryan has a plan?

Obviously, the answer is yes.

Under the order of Ryan, the knight road army began to camp under the city of Konkuta. Along Konkuta, the Dwarf Auxiliary Army built a four-meter-high wooden city wall under the order of Dugan, the iron man engineer. A large number of caltrops were arranged outside the city wall, spiky wooden piles were built, moats were dug, and wooden walls and barriers were strengthened with dwarven runes. Dwarf flame cannons were installed deep into the wall, and a large number of wooden sentry posts were built, filled with dwarf musketeers and human musketeers and crossbowmen. The Bastogne longbowmen also found the most comfortable shooting bunker.

In addition to the dwarven runes, Veronica's witch group also played a great role in targeting the possible flying monsters and spells in Kongquarta. Under the leadership of the female speaker, the witches began to bless the city wall .

Even the Old Guards participated in the construction work under Ryan's order, and the large amount of resources hoarded by Newland was enough for the army for 40 days, and the news came from Admiral Boderick, up to 25 days, The Seagod fleet must be able to break through the blockade and bring resources.

Therefore, as long as the chivalry army persists for 30 days at most, they will surely be able to escape from the encirclement.

After getting the confirmed news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ryan also made up his mind to fight his enemies under the city of Konkuta. The north of Konkuta is backed by the Beast Mountain Range, so Ryan only needs three walls to enclose Surround the city with a fortress, and then build another wall outside.

The mines that the dwarves had prepared for a long time came in handy, and of course moats and various traps were indispensable.

At this time, even the god of luck is helping Ryan.

The reason is simple, the Chaos army is fighting among themselves again.

Before the original demon prince Belak collected the broken troops of the Khorne champion Bloody Hargroth,

They were going to march into Konkuta together, but on the night when the armies of both sides had just assembled, an extremely bloody massacre started in the Chaos camp.

Whether it's the brave Scalins, the brutal Vanaheimlings, the twisted Hell Peakers, the crazy Huns, or the bloodthirsty Mongols, this group of followers of Khorne seems to be a little bit concerned about the so-called "unity" He had no interest at all. The bloody Hagros was extremely angry that Belak had ruined his revenge. As for the followers of Khorne below him, they usually relied on their desire for killing and headhunting, as well as the oracle of Khorne. Think about the problem.

So what is the oracle of Khorne?

The oracle of the blood god is very simple, kill, rush, chop!

See Belak's head?

That's right, hack it to death!

Ahhh! On the first night when the Chaos army assembled, the bloody Hargroth led Khorne's berserkers and barbarian warriors to launch a suicide attack on Belak's army. In the thick fog and heavy rain of Albion, The Chaos army was attacked by its own people. These Khorne believers rushed into the camp and chopped down any living things. The bloody Hagros even rode a Chaos steel bull with a Khorne battle ax in his hand and rushed forward. , Shouting for the Blood God!

I can't beat the Nanke's Holy Grail, and I can't beat you?

This wave of fierce confrontation directly caused the bombing of the camp. It was only because of a common enemy that the chaotic tribes who barely assembled immediately exploded on the spot. It was stacked for more than fifteen minutes. Under the leadership of the champion of Khorne, the sound of killing and the sound of steel colliding were the main themes on the north bank of Obien. The bloody Hagros asked everyone, including Bilak himself, to submit His allegiance, or the Champion of Khorne is ready to kill everyone.

All the barbarian chieftains and monsters who did not kneel down to Hargroth were beheaded. By the time Bilak shot himself, the Chaos army had suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

At this time, the problem of Bilak has become obvious. Theoretically speaking, the original demon prince is a demigod powerhouse. His pure actual combat power is even stronger than that of the new Eternal Chosen Archaon who does not wear a full set of artifacts. Lark has a fatal problem. No matter how powerful the original demon prince is, he is not the eternal god, so he cannot command the entire army of chaos smoothly. A huge army.

But Archaon is different. The Eternal Chosen only needs to defeat or recover these chaotic powers, and then show off the joint blessing of the four chaotic gods on him. These chaotic champions or Chaos Godchosen will obey his orders unconditionally, because they He is the one chosen by the four gods.

However, Archaon is recovering the northern tribes at this time, and the four gods of chaos have prepared four chaotic champions for him. - Reaper, Slaanesh Champion Desara - Betrayer, as Archaon's assistant.

However, the new Eternal God's Chosen dislikes these four chaotic champions as rubbish. All four of them are only at the beginning level of the Sanctuary, and even Sindar-Red Crown and Desara-The Betrayer are even weaker in combat effectiveness. Archaon despises these dregs as useless, and he is recovering those more powerful beings. For example, recently, a demon prince of Nurgle named Typhons and a demon prince of Slaanesh named Casoron announced that they would be sent to Eternal God chooses allegiance, and it seems that there is also a Tzeentch demon prince named Ahriman who also appeared by his side.

Bilak is unwilling to be Archaon's dog, but at present it can only continue to be Archaon's dog, and what bothers Bilak the most is that the bloody Hagros is also Archaon's dog. Can not be killed casually.

It is necessary to try to get out of this state. The original demon prince Bilak thought that maybe he could sacrifice the head and heart of the Sun King to the four gods, so that he could get their mercy?

Chaos civil strife gave the chivalry army more time to prepare, and the same thing happened to Ulfric's Worldwalker Legion. It is well known that Ulfric the Wanderer never cared about his followers, and he was even happy to see To kill each other under his command is just to choose a strongest man to fight with him. From this guy's point of view, his life is only meaningful in duels.

Outside the city of Konkuta, today was a rare sunny day, amidst thick fog and heavy rain, but Knight King Ryan left his red, blue, and gold-roofed tent.

Our King of Knights seemed to be preparing for something. He came to a corner of the city wall, where several boulders were placed, and saw Ryan gently chanting the spell of the Old Sage, and the cyan light flashed, and then But it disappeared without a trace, as if something was activated, but nothing seemed to happen.

The actions of the King of Knights aroused the interest of many people. For example, the old father-in-law Francois and Callard came behind Ryan. The old father-in-law thought he had great achievements and was Suria's father, so he asked directly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" doing what?"

"The Old Sage once left many relics in Albion." Ryan signaled the trolley to push the stones and slabs over, and he reorganized everything by himself. Compared with the upcoming war, the expression of the King of Knights seemed very relaxed: "We can activate it in due course."

"Can it help us?" Callard also came up. The Marquis of Gallante doesn't know much about these things. He knows that Ryan is familiar with the ancient sacred texts and the most ancient secrets. Maybe the lady in the lake is only willing to be with her Share these things with your chosen champion.

"In most cases, they can only help us fight against the enemy's spells, but if they can... maybe they will be of special use." Ryan smiled meaningfully and shook his head: "It won't work if you say it."

"Your Majesty, the scouts have reported that the chaos legions in the north and east have experienced varying degrees of internal strife. As for the undead pirate army in the west, it seems that there is no more action after landing." Francois sighed: " It seems that the earl of the undead ocean empire has made up his mind to wait for the Chaos army to act before attacking together."

"Although I don't know why the undead formed an alliance with Chaos, it is clear that the Earl of Noctilus does not want to back up Chaos." Callard continued: "Your Majesty, this may be used."

"Oh! Karard, you actually came up with this thing yourself?!" Ryan's eyes lit up, and he arranged the stones and slabs in a strange array with a mysterious order. The King of Knights wanted to speak when he saw Karard He stretched out his hand to stop him first, then turned to the stone pillar and said in the language of the ancient sages: "The courage of the sun god Kotaigo needs to be awakened by the sun." 12

"Boom!" The slate lit up.

Ryan didn't get up until the ceremony was completed. The King of Knights had a moved expression on his face. He enthusiastically patted Karard on the shoulder: "It's not easy, Mr. Karard!"

"Huh?" Callard was even more surprised.

"Sir François, Sir Karade, do you know the gap between us and the empire?" Ryan laughed, and the King of Knights signaled the two marshals to follow him to the next place, clockwise.

The second stone slab was erected, and Ryan continued to chant: "The revenge of the snake god Sotek needs to be demonstrated with blood sacrifices."

This time the slate did not light up.

"Where is the gap?" Callard was still puzzled.

"The gap between us and the empire used to be all-round, whether it was education, the social system, court positions, army mobilization, or the central and local financial systems." Ryan spread out towards Carrad and Francois Open your hands: "When Emperor Karl Franz has a complete central standing army, local provincial army and village militia, what does our knight kingdom have?"

"What do we have in Brittany when Karl Franz has a full court cabinet and council of advisors, and a bureaucracy that is obviously much more efficient, albeit corrupt?"

"When Karl Franz had a complete education system from church schools to court schools to several high-end universities, we Britannian knights still rely on round tables and so-called knight retinues to conduct apprenticeship education."

"But don't we have all of them now?" Callard is still puzzled: "Furthermore, there is little corruption in our system. His Majesty's advisory group is efficient and clean. Isn't the Central Army, the Principality's army and the militia also Is it all set up?"

"Kalard, these are all forced by His Majesty for more than ten years, through victories one after another and reforms one after another." Francois couldn't laugh or cry at this, and the old man moved towards Callard, who doesn't understand politics, said: "I didn't have any of these before."

"We have Your Majesty." Callard said without thinking.

"I won't stay on the throne forever, Callard." Ryan shook his head indifferently, and the tone of the King of Knights could not hear sadness or joy, only a kind of indifference: "One day, Brittany will be in another place." Under the leadership of His Majesty, continue our country."

Francois rolled his eyes, and the father-in-law thought of something, but he didn't make a sound, but Karard turned pale with shock: "Your Majesty, are you going to abandon your people and your kingdom? You are the lady's God-Chosen Champion!"

"I will not abandon my people and my kingdom, but kingship is not eternal, Lord Karade." Ryan said calmly: "One day, I will be like Arthur the first generation of knights, Charlemagne the emperor, or Luther the savior." Take off the crown like a Vichy, and leave."

"Your Majesty, are you planning to become a god?" Callard asked, he was really anxious, everything in the Knight Kingdom now relies heavily on Ryan's reform and personal prestige.

"I will never try to enshrine the gods, whether it is active or passive." Ryan just shook his head, and the king then started to set up the third ancient stone circle.

"The tenacity of the patron saint, Quiji, needs to be impressed with unyielding."

Similarly, this slate is not bright.

"Sir François, Sir Karade, you are all my closest people. Let me ask you a question." Ryan set up the third stone formation: "Why should I set up ten marshals?"

Before Francois and Callard could answer, Ryan went on to laugh and said, "Do I think the title of marshal is cool? Or is it that setting up ten marshals is convenient for management? Or should I have one if there is one in the empire?"

"Your Majesty has His Majesty's idea of ​​setting up a marshal." Callard did not express his opinion.

"The ten marshals were set up by His Majesty, which means that His Majesty will manage and grant authority uniformly, and it also means centralization? The original pyramid-shaped hierarchical noble vassal system has evolved into a vertically managed bureaucratic system?" The old man touched his chin. .

"The top ten marshals are just the first step." Ryan did not say directly: "Think about it, in the previous system, as Baron Jean, in the face of making things difficult for the Marquess of Glasgow, can I just not Dump him or even go back? Because I don’t belong to him at all? You can’t control me, and you’re not as strong as me, so why should I listen to you?”

Both Francois and Callard nodded.

"So what if I was a general at that time and he was a marshal?" Ryan said with a smile: "How dare I hate him like that? Ignore him?"

"Yes, the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals, but if the military rank system is introduced, it is absolutely impossible for a sergeant or lieutenant to speak ill of a general or marshal." Francois nodded: "Your Majesty, Do you want to separate the structure of the army from the structure of the nobility?"

"This is just the first and second floors." Ryan then shook his head, the King of Knights took a deep breath, and in the thick fog of Obien, the Sun King said amazingly: "Francois, Karard Well, if you think about it carefully, is the founding knight system of our knight kingdom really used to deal with the enemy? We all know that knights are best at dealing with light infantry. They have disadvantages when facing light cavalry and heavy infantry. It is suitable for many terrains, but when everyone knows it, why should we spend all our efforts to raise knights? Knight feudalism is obviously a system with low mobilization efficiency, backward financial capacity and easy to lose its tail. Besides, let alone Europe How many times have we won against the orcs and chaos, which have a large number of heavy infantry units, even if it is a human civil war, facing the strong artillery of the empire?"

Francois was silent.

"Not against the enemy, but who else?" Karard asked.

The fourth stone array was installed: "The hunting of the jungle tiger god Huang Qi needs prey as a guide."

The fourth stone circle lit up.

"Who are you going to deal with, do I need to say more?" Ryan bared his teeth: "Whose main force is a large number of light infantry? Who needs to divide the knights into various parts of the kingdom, and one person can watch a piece of land to consolidate the existing governance order? Efficiently deal with internal problems?"

"It's the Beastmen!" Callard blurted out without thinking: "The Beastmen and the Goblin tribe."

"Yes, that's right." Ryan sighed, and he didn't stop: "But besides the beastmen and goblins, there is another group that is also the target of the knight nobles' strict precautions."

"That's the people of our own country! Serfs who are the lower foundation of the knight system!"

The words of the Sun King, like thunder, exploded in the thick fog of Obien, and were deafening in Karard's ears.

The enemy that the chivalry system uses to guard against is actually our own people?

serf? !
