Chapter 1120, The Returning Sun King (a Chapter of 5,300 Words!)
The latest website: Imperial Calendar 2520, mid-October, the old world knight kingdom Mousilon, Fontainebleau Palace.
Although the Sun King came back with a great victory and once again created an unparalleled military miracle, there was no joy or joy in the entire Duke Castle at this time. On the contrary, there were guards and troops everywhere.
Because when Ryan had just returned to Britannia, when the triumphal ceremony was held in the capital of Courona, when the knights proudly showed everyone their trophies, when the old guards surrounded the King of Knights When appearing on Triumph Avenue.
A well-planned assassination took place.
The famous Tzeentch sect has been planning for this for nearly a year.
The first thing that appeared was dozens of trolleys on both sides of the street and alleys. The trolleys were filled with kerosene obtained from nowhere and a large iron bucket with a bonfire lit inside, all rushing towards the queue.
Then on the second floor of the buildings on both sides of the street, more than a dozen musketeers fired at the same time.
Dozens of knives and axemen fell from upstairs, attacking the Sun King who was riding a horse and waving to the crowd at the same time.
As a matter of course, these actions are actually not very useful. Ryan, as the primarch and the powerhouse at the pinnacle of the sanctuary, how can this level of assassination be able to solve it?
Then the few grenades thrown from nowhere are even more funny.
Ryan just gently stretched out a hand, and all the bullets, crossbow bolts, arrows and grenades flying towards him were all fixed in the air, and the King of Knights clenched his fist and exploded instantly.
All this is not over yet, just as Ryan was moving, an extremely fast Chaos Assassin holding a dark blue dagger full of blood-sealed throat and poison, suddenly appeared on Ryan from the void. Behind, attack Ryan.
Ryan dodged in a flash, and the next second, the magic of the lake goddess Morgiana hit the assassin, who turned into white smoke and died on the spot.
The assassination ended anticlimactically like this. Ryan ordered a city-wide search and arrested a small group of Chaos sects. It was confirmed that they were members of the famous Tzeentch sect "Red Crown" and "Colorful Flame Society". During the search, all the followers of Chaos suddenly burst out with multicolored flames and burned themselves to death.
Everything ended without a problem.
Although only a few old guards and a dozen soldiers were injured in this incident,
However, at this juncture, such a thing happened, which greatly affected the atmosphere of the victory of the Great Expedition. Ryan did not say much about it. After holding a celebration banquet, he immediately ordered the disbandment of the army. He did not intend to spend the winter in the capital. Instead, he intends to return to Mousilon's Fontainebleau Palace for the winter.
The inner hall of the palace of Fontainebleau, the oval courtyard.
Suria, Queen of the Knights, was wearing a luxurious queen dress. With the help of two maids, she walked quickly into the palace. Silvia, the female courtier who continued to serve as head maid, followed behind Suria.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Surya asked anxiously, her two slender and straight black silk long legs were moving quickly.
"Your Majesty was in a bad mood. He called Ms. Aurora and Ms. Teresa from MI7, and he didn't speak to them, but asked them to wait outside the hall, as did the baron." Sylvia anxiously Said to Suria: "Your Majesty seems to know about the baron."
"Hey...Devon Hill is really..." Su Liya anxiously walked inside holding her skirt.
As soon as the queen appeared in the outer hall, the two heads of SI:7, Aurora and Teresa, who were sitting outside waiting for news, stood up: "Madam."
"Mom." Devonhill stood up with his head down, Ryan's eldest son looked very downcast: "Dad called us to wait outside, it's been two hours, why hasn't there been any movement?"
"It's okay, Devonhill." Suria first patted Devonhill's face with a smile, and then said to Teresa and Aurora who were a little nervous: "It's okay, he's just If I'm angry, I'll just go in and talk to him, just wait for a while."
"Hmm." Aurora snorted displeasedly, bowed to Suria, and sat down.
"Just trouble Madam." Teresa was very disturbed. There is no doubt that MI7 was responsible for such a big assassination.
Su Liya nodded to everyone, then signaled everyone to wait a while, ignored the old guard standing guard, stretched out her hand and opened the door of the room, and strode into the room.
Sylvia also wanted to follow in, but the old guard immediately put down his halberd and signaled the head maid to stop.
The queen walked into the room, and saw that the entire wall and ceiling of the luxurious and luxurious bedroom were decorated with gold, red, and blue gold leaves, the floor was covered with painting carpets, and the chandeliers were crystal-clear and eye-catching. , brilliant and elegant. The interior is beautifully finished with walnut wood for the ceiling and wainscoting.
The wainscoting wall is divided into sections by doors and pilasters, and in the center of each section is a large painting. Surrounding it are reliefs in the form of skulls, swords, books, etc. In addition to white, some of these reliefs are painted in color or gold.
It was late autumn, and the fireplace in the bedroom was burning. Knight King Ryan was lying on the seat in front of the fireplace. He seemed to be asleep, and there were rolls of parchment piled up on the small table next to the seat.
Seeing her husband like this, Su Liya couldn't help pursing her lips and snickering. The female knight walked up to Ryan and sat down: "Okay, get up, Ryan, I don't know if others are pretending to be asleep, but I can't tell if you are pretending to be asleep." ?”
"ZZZ..." Ryan still lay there motionless.
"Get up, I'm waiting outside." Su Liya adjusted her skirt, and the female knight secretly took out a pair of soft-soled slippers from under the table, and replaced the arrow blue stiletto high heels on her feet. After slipping a pair of delicate and delicate black silk jade feet into the slippers, he stretched out his hand and pinched Ryan's face: "Don't pretend."
"..." Ryan opened his eyes, and with his arms around him, he embraced Surya's enchanting and fiery body, and kissed her lips vigorously amidst his wife's exclamation Going down, a deep wet kiss, until Su Liya began to breathe quickly, then let go of her, and said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from you, my wife."
"We've been married for so many years, what do you have that I don't know?" Su Liya pinched Ryan's face reproachfully, and then leaned on his chest: "Are you angry?"
"Of course you have to be angry." Ryan hugged Suria on his lap, and the King of Knights hummed dissatisfiedly: "There is no news about such a big matter!"
"Didn't SI7 get the information about the possible assassination two days in advance?" Su Liya reached out and brushed her husband's frowning brows to calm him down. The Queen of Knights said softly: "It is you who firmly believe that you are not afraid To assassinate, to lure the snake out of the hole."
"Even the capital has been infiltrated by the Tzeentch sect. Morgiana sent a message back and followed the clues. She found three Chaos sects in Korona in the past few days. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?" Ryan's tone was very It's ugly, the King of Knights said: "What does SI:7 do for food? So much money is fed to dogs every year?"
"It's not that you are a little too conniving with them. You don't mind if they don't want to go to the war, and you approve the funds they ask for." Su Liya continued to angrily: "You are not so good to your wife."
"Hey hey." Ryan couldn't help but kissed Suria's face again. The King of Knights smiled and said, "Like is presumptuous, love is restraint. For them, just feed them. It's different for you. Suria, are you My rose, you are my flower, you need to be carefully nourished, cared for, cultivated and watered, the only flower in the world."
"You guy is really, you just open your mouth..." As soon as these words came out, Suria couldn't get angry, and the Queen of Knights could only blushed and continued: "Devon Hill is just a little anxious , He has been making noises recently to save the little queen."
"It doesn't matter if he makes trouble. It's a problem if young people don't make trouble. The blood is just at the age where it's easy to get ahead." Ryan shook his head: "But no matter what you say, it's absolutely wrong for him to yell at his uncle."
"Yes, it's my son's fault in this matter." Suria will be partial but will never distinguish between right and wrong. The Queen of Knights can only admit: "Uncle Angron treats Devonhill as his own. The queen yelling at his uncle is too much, really too much."
"Yes, so, let these guys air out for a while, and kill their prestige." Ryan smiled, he put his arms around Suria's waist, and hugged his wife, no matter outside How bitter and tiring, home is the best safe haven: "You poor lady, you don't want to take care of your son, so let me take care of it?"
"That's your son!" Surya said angrily.
"That's your son too!" Ryan retorted angrily.
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
"Don't worry, let them hang out for a while." Ryan reached out for a roll of documents, and asked Suria casually, "How about this year's grain reserves?"
"This year is another bumper harvest. The church's major warehouses have added more than 33 million kilograms of grain. In addition, the major duke warehouses have also stored a large amount of grain." Su Liya picked up the important ones and said: "We Mu Several key warehouses of Xilong and Jien have just added more than 40 million kilograms of grain, and at the same time released more than 10 million kilograms of old grain, including some old grain that started to have problems with insects. These old grains were taken by Marin The grain merchants in the Fort bought it at a low price on a large scale, and then sold it at a high price to the empire and the border princes."
"Yeah." Ryan nodded, and the big merchants in Fort Marien began to smell something.
Unlike last year, this year, grain production in the entire Old World began to show signs of a large-scale reduction. Except for Britannia, which still had a bumper harvest, grain production in the entire Old World decreased by 10%-15%.
In the past few months, the price of grain on the market has skyrocketed, with an overall increase of 30-40%. According to news from Schultz, several major grain merchants in Marienburg have all united to conduct "peer discussion", drive up grain prices, and hoard , Surya originally released three million kilograms of old grain to the empire.
To be honest, these grain reserves are enough for the starving people in the north of the empire for a month.
The grain on the market was empty again, except that Nur was able to buy grain from Brittania through special channels, and the rest of the grain was eaten by several major grain merchants in Marienburg. Crying: "The emperor's army can enter Marienburg, but the emperor's decree cannot enter Marienburg."
"Businessmen, profit-seeking is their nature." Ryan sighed and shook his head: "Schultz can't help it?"
"Schultz can only manage unruly and illegal behaviors. This is a formal business behavior. Even if he is a grand duke, he can't mess around." Suria seemed very calm. The queen had food in her hands and was not in a panic.
"There will be a time to deal with them, and it's not appropriate now." Ryan nodded, and the fire in the fireplace flickered on the face of the King of Knights: "Now the autumn harvest is going on one after another. Although the grain production in the old world has decreased, at least everyone has harvested one after another. It's not appropriate to do it at this time."
"Yes." Suria nodded, and the Queen of Knights leaned on her husband's chest and said in a bitter voice, "This time, O'Brien is very dangerous. Both Boderick and Fedmond deserve to die!"
"They are dead, who will be the Admiral of the Navy?" Ryan laughed: "Who will be in charge of the Sea God Fleet? Is it possible that I personally named myself the Admiral of the Navy?"
Surya gave Ryan a blank look, she couldn't answer this question.
"Boderick and Fedmond both have abilities, but they are still a little unsuited to the new military system after the military reform, and they still feel that they are like the former vassal army." Ryan stroked his wife's back : "I have already warned them, and they also realized that they made a mistake. They can't hope to get it right in one step."
"It's true that there is no one else. Since Marshal Hood and Marshal Henry passed away, Britannia has lacked an excellent navy. Now only Boderick and his son Fedmond are qualified for this position." Su Leah can only admit: "The navy is different from the army."
"Yes, the navy is different from the army." Ryan also smiled wryly. As long as an army officer follows him, he can quickly grow into a qualified general in a few years. But it can't be cultivated in a few years.
"The matter of the high-precision mission..." Surya continued to test her husband's thoughts.
When Ryan was away, Suria naturally had an overview of everything in the world. At this time, the female knight was the supreme leader of the Knight Kingdom. After Ryan came back, the queen had to discuss with Ryan. She told Talleyrand's plan Ryan, and at the same time attached his own point of view: "I mean, we don't need to go to the muddy water, Gao Jing will not thank us, return from the expedition, even if we win a big victory, we will have nearly 15,000 casualties, now The kingdom needs rest."
"You're right. The kingdom needs to rest. Let's wait and see what happens. Let me leave it to my son." Ryan nodded.
Suria wanted to ask something else, but Ryan glanced at the dwarf grandfather clock.
"Call them in."
"yes!"
"I obey... His Majesty let you in." Raymond and Beria, the deputy commanders of the old Guards at the door, responded one after the other.
Aurora and Teresa from SI7 advanced, and the eldest son Devonhill followed behind. Seeing his father holding his mother's hand and sitting side by side on the seat, Devonhill's eyes lit up. But then he saw the warning in Su Liya's eyes, and quickly shrank his head.
Aurora, Teresa, and Devinhill knelt down to salute one after another.
"Please get up, give me a seat." Ryan raised his hand towards Aurora and Teresa, indicating that the two sanctuary witches could sit down, and Teresa and Aurora were not surprised.
Seeing this, Devonhill also got up quickly.
"Who woke you up?!" Father's voice was like a storm, like lightning: "Kneel down!"
Devonhill was frightened by Ryan, and his face was filled with tears. He subconsciously looked at his mother, but Suria closed her eyes and did not look at him.
Now the son knew what was going on, and he really regretted how he treated Uncle Angron afterwards, but at that time his blood surged up and he ignored it.
The son quickly knelt down and put his head on the ground.
Aurora and Teresa also trembled in fright. Now Ryan is no better than before. The Knight King's every move is like a thunderstorm, like a spring breeze, sometimes like a summer sun, sometimes like a winter snow, unpredictable.
But the mother and daughter have something to rely on after all, Ryan ignored Devonhill and smiled at them: "It's nothing for you, what I told you to do before, how is it?"
The mature and glamorous sanctuary witch adjusted her long skirt, and took out a long roll of parchment from her body: "This is the result of your investigation, Your Majesty."
Ryan took the parchment and motioned for Suria to read it with him.
Ten minutes later, the King of Knights let out a long sigh: "Good job, dear Teresa and Aurora, you are very capable in this matter, I should reward you well."
Before Teresa and Aurora thanked him, Ryan held the parchment directly and couldn't stop laughing: "Good guy, I was a good guy when I came up."
On the parchment, the results of years of investigation by MI7 were written.
After years of investigations, the number of Chaos Sects with a scale of more than 30,000 people (including peripheral personnel) in the empire has been counted in sevens and eighties, including their main activities and possible headquarters.
The long list:
The Order of the Crimson Skull.
Brass Sisterhood.
Ax Brotherhood.
Brotherhood of War Veterans.
Scarlet Pledge.
Nurge is old.
Crow's hand.
red crown.
Order of the Broken Wheel.
Caiyanhui.
Esoteric religion.
Children of Doom.
Rotten stomach followers.
Nurgle Carnival.
Tobyers Butchers Guild.
Presett Medical Exchange.
Carpe Die Association.
Gucci Art Dress Association.
Emerald Scepter.
West Boutique Members Association.
And the "Yellow Tooth Religion" who believed in the horned rat, which was specially marked by Aurora,
The Yellow Fang Sect, a large chaotic sect, has become so arrogant that several believers publicly killed several demon hunters and battle priests on the streets of Kronborg, and then committed suicide. The cause and effect were not found out, because all the attackers were killed or committed suicide. Status symbols have been wiped away, and the local nobles have been investigating for weeks without any clues, and can only think that this is a vendetta.
"There is one more important thing, Your Majesty." Teresa continued to report: "Nur, Baron Frederick recently discovered an altar of Khorne in the underground passage of the barracks of the Nuer Iron Armor Army! It shocked the whole Nuer. Seoul City."
"What?!"
"In addition, the wife of White Wolf Elector Boris Todbringer was recently found out to be a Slaanesh believer and a core member of the Slaanesh Sect in Middenheim - the Emerald Scepter. "Aurora also reported: "Anne Tailis is the daughter of Grand Duke Theodoric Geisel of Nord. After learning and confirming the truth, Elector Boris was deeply saddened. Poison Jiujiu killed his second wife and announced to the public that she died of illness, he is now extremely depressed, all military and political affairs are handed over to the court ministers, and he stays behind closed doors."
Ryan was speechless.
"Very well, a hundred flowers are blooming, and a hundred schools of thought are contending. Some people can't sit still anymore, and want to welcome their masters down south."
"Let's be ourselves first!"
