Chapter 1198, The King's Speech (6,000-Word Super Chapter!)

The root of power is the alienation of the division of labor, which is equal to the asymmetry of information under the hierarchy. Therefore, when a person becomes an aristocrat and a part of the existing power system, no matter whether he is rich or poor, whether he is smart or stupid, his instinct must be to maintain this power system and ensure his own dominance. This is human nature. In other words, with the continuous extension and inheritance of the hierarchy, and with the further asymmetry of information, the ruling class will gradually have similar ideas. The origin of my power is reasonable, and I should enjoy these powers. This forms a logical closed loop. Now that I have power, it is because I am worthy of the reason given by these power gods, such as sanctity, noble blood, military exploits, etc., because I am the owner of power, so I exercise my power. Makes perfect sense because that's my thing. But actually, is it? Under the eyes of everyone, Ryan looked at all the great nobles present, and many thoughts flashed through the king's heart. In fact, it is not at all. As I said before, the root of power is the alienation of the division of labor. In fact, countless serfs and free people transferred part of their power and turned over part of their income so that some people could get out of production and specialize in protecting Himself, and this is the origin of the knightly nobility, and the inevitable result of a period of limited productivity. After a long time, many knights and nobles have forgotten this. Now it is revealed that the fairy in the lake is an elf god, which opens a gap in the logical closed loop of the knights and nobles. "So we have to talk about this issue now, whether we want to or not, we have to talk about it, what should we do when the Lady of the Lake tells us that she is Lilith, the goddess of the moon?" Ryan continued his speech , The king said to everyone present: "I think, these days, all of you here must have thought a lot, a lot." Come on?" A deep light shone on Ryan's face, and there was a slight noise in the arena. "Should we quickly change our thinking and find a new god for us? Charlemagne? Urik? Tal? Mirmidia? Or some other Phoenix Lord Asuryan or Bloody Cain? Our Breta The Nigerians couldn’t wait to bow down before the new god, calling them daddy, begging them to take in these homeless children, begging them to accept us like other believers?” The noise in the venue gradually became louder , almost everyone was shaking their heads. "Impossible!" "We are Bretons, how could we do such a thing?" "Yurik? What are you kidding, I hate the smell of wolf cubs the most!" "Tal will Let us become barbarians!" "Mirmidia? No, I'm afraid that the battle cry of our Bretons will never be heard in the world again." "The Estalians will use Mirmi The name of Dia controls our army and castle!" Ryan gave everyone 20 seconds to discuss, and then the king laughed: "Then maybe we can do this, I will let the cabinet draft a document and announce that starting today, Bretta Nia no longer worships any gods, all the temples of the Lady of the Lake, burn them all! All the shrines of the Goddess, smash them up! All the glorious history of the Bretons should be nailed to the stake, Throwed into the trash, our so-called glory is nothing but a pile of shit made up of lies, it's time to throw them away?" The noise in the arena became louder, and almost all the knights and nobles showed disgust Everyone shook their heads. "No, it can't be like this." "No, I can't accept it!" "Your Majesty. This is not a rational plan." "People who think like this are crazy, my Majesty." "Very good." Ryan said again Signaling everyone to be quiet, the king was silent for a few seconds, and tapped the table lightly with a small wooden hammer: "Then, I ask all of you here, you are all the dignitaries of my Brittania, and you are all my Britannia. Aristocratic elite of Tania, I have a question for everyone here." "If our goddess, the nymph of the lake,

Abandoned by us, what will happen to us Brittany? Ryan then asked: "Have you really thought about it?" There was silence. "I admit, some people will benefit." Ryan cast his eyes on the large group of knights from the "Free Britannia" faction sitting on the right. The king grinned, both sarcasm and contempt: "Because they have a reasonable and legal excuse to seize more manors, castles and lands to earn more titles! "They can burn the Holy Grail Cathedral in Courona to ashes with their own hands!" Because that's lady stuff! ""They can dismantle the Lion Ring Racecourse with their own hands, demolish the thousand-year-old sculptures on it, throw all the tapestries on the ground, and trample them with their feet, because they belong to ladies!" ""What other flags can they plant in Bastogne, in Bordereau, in our Corona palace, and those flags that symbolize our millennium glory will only be thrown into In the fire! The audience was in an uproar. The more than 800 nobles present thought of this scene, and an incomparably deep chill soaked their spines. This is to destroy the fairy in the lake? If you want to destroy a country of people, you must first destroy its history. This is the root of their knight nobility!!! After everything about the Fairy of the Lake disappears in Britannia, then the knight culture and the entire kingdom will cease to exist! However, if the Fairy of the Lake is to be completely abandoned, these people This must be done, otherwise, how can "Free Britannia" and "New Britannia" draw a clear line from the fairy of the lake? All the great nobles can feel the blood on their faces Surge. Must not, must not let this happen." Ladies and gentlemen, do it, right? ""wrong! " "Do it, right?" Ryan continued. "No!" ! ! ’ ‘Can we do this? "The king's voice resounded throughout the Congress hall. "Never! no way! no way! ! ! The excited roars of all the great nobles in the inner hall, and even the Knights of the Four Thousand Kingdoms in the outer hall spread into the entire congress hall. "Okay, very good!" Ryan put his hands behind his ears, and he smiled at everyone: "I heard it, I heard your voice, very good, it seems that you don't want to see this happen, I heard it ,thank you all. "Thunderous applause rang out, applauding for their king. To put it simply, Ryan was thinking of them. After dozens of seconds, the hall of Congress gradually quieted down, and Ryan continued: "But there must be many people who still feel that How can we believe in an alien god, we are the descendants of proud Bretons? What's more, she has lied to us for thousands of years, shouldn't she apologize for this, shouldn't she pay the price for using us, can she just pretend like nothing happened? "Everyone present nodded their heads, yes, this test is impossible to pass. The neutral knights headed by Bohemond all showed a tangled expression, yes, they are unable to pass this level, it is difficult to have a reason to continue Convince yourself to continue to believe in an alien god? This is unacceptable!" Therefore, before I do this, I must divert the topic a little bit, please listen patiently. "Ryan signaled everyone to be quiet again, and the king said in a deep voice: "I have read our history seriously in the past few days, and I naturally found that our history can be said to be a military book. Since its establishment, endless wars have continuously invaded this land. From the melee of hundreds of tribes in prehistoric times to the scramble for hegemony by 14 tribes in the later period, from the twelve great wars in the founding of the country to the present millennium later, we have had Great victories, and many ignominious defeats, and now, ladies and gentlemen, tell me, where are we now? Where is our country? ""right here! right here! ! ! "Thousands of years later, the Bretons are still standing!" ’ ‘We are not perishing! "The great nobles shouted excitedly, even though there have been countless wars, even if the peace years in the thousand-year history are not long, even if the knights have been passed down from generation to generation, we are still here, and the kingdom is still here!" Yes, we are still there. Ryan nodded, the light shone on him, and the figure of the Sun King was shrouded in the light. He first opened his arms, and then put his hands on his hips: "The duty of a knight is to protect, and the virtue of a knight is also to protect. There is nothing better than defending the country." More honorable, ladies and gentlemen, must we, as knights, continue to assure all that we will continue to be here, defending and guarding our country, our people? "" Agree! "" Agree! ""aye!" aye! aye! "Voices of approval began to sound, and the great nobles recalled the glory of the millennium, the sacrifices of each family in the long history, and the generations of clansmen who died fighting to fulfill their knightly duties, all felt that something in their bodies had been suppressed. Awakened. Even though it is cruel, corrupt, and rotten, but when the horn sounds, the knights are all armored and mounted with guns, shouting the name of the goddess, and fighting for their homeland. Those nobles who are unwilling to fight for their homeland, It has already been dealt with by Ryan's previous and subsequent waves of cleansing, and the ones left now are basically those who have been on the battlefield. "Yes, we must guarantee that, in fact, I also have full confidence that I can lead you, Defend our country, folks, do you think I can? Ryan laughed and said: "I personally think that as long as we perform our duties, we can continue to reproduce our glory in Eight Peaks, in the Empire, and in O'Brien."

"" Agree! "Hear!" hear! hear! "The voice of approval grew louder, the knights and old guards who supported Ryan shouted vigorously, the neutral knights slapped their thighs vigorously, and even the knights of Free Britannia couldn't help it Moved." I am very happy to hear your voices of approval, which makes me feel that my previous efforts have not been in vain. Ryan smiled and nodded again and again, Sun Dynasty glanced at the outer hall, and then said: "But the situation is not optimistic. Estalia has perished, and only Billy Barry is still resisting. Maybe Tyrell It can last a little longer, but without reinforcements, the ending is already doomed. There is also the Border Princeland. According to the news from the Badland Sanwei and Haimenguan, the Border Princeland has basically been defeated by the Skaven, Beastmen and Greenskins. Submerged, perhaps none of you have noticed, plus Kislev and Sylvania, half of the entire Old World has fallen. "There were bursts of exclamations in the venue. In recent years, Brittany has been too "peaceful", and the sense of crisis among the great nobles is not so strong. Even Francois, the Holy Grail Knight, thinks that "The empire and the dwarves will solve their own problems", and everyone was still surprised when they heard the news from Ryan. It turned out that half of the old world had fallen before they knew it? "All Bretons, crisis It's approaching us! cried Lane: "Unite, Bretons!" Tell us, where is your courage? You guys remember how to defend your kingdom, right? It's not the first time we've run into this dilemma, but it's as we've seen it. " "We are still there, and the kingdom is still there!" "Ryan's fist hit the table with the code of chivalry, the sound was very soft, but it sounded like a bell in everyone's ears." Agreed! "Here we are, and courage is here!" ""right! right! Yes." The response has spread throughout the King's Council Hall, and even the great nobles of the Free Breton faction couldn't help shouting out. "So, who gave us this courage? Who, when the Bretanians were desperate, led us out of the quagmire, who, when the Bretanians were on the verge of subjugation, gave us the Holy Grail, and who, always as Patronus, guarding our kingdom? "Lian continued to shout. The whole venue fell silent in an instant, and everyone seemed to have been poured cold water on their heads. It was the lady in the lake. But...but she is an elf god after all! The effect was just right, and Ryan took advantage of all When the person was silent, he smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that you still lack a little courage. It seems that if you admit all this, will it hurt your dignity? "More than half of the nobles blushed and lowered their heads subconsciously. Yes, even if she is really good to us, she is still the god of aliens. If she admits it, wouldn't it make us... shameless? Ryan nodded repeatedly, There was a bit of blame in his tone: "But everyone is also very clear that many times, it is the little courage in our chests that changes our history, our stories, saves us, and allows mortals to survive. ""The former Phoenix King Aenario was originally a navigator. For him, courage meant that he climbed into the holy fire of Asuryan himself, and only asked the Lord of the Phoenix to save his compatriots. Under the double curse, he still went to the ceremony site of the maelstrom in person, fought alone and defeated the four chaotic demons! "For Charlemagne, courage meant that he fought for a whole day in the Battle of Blackfire Pass and finally shot the green-skinned warlord headshot. The lord sent back to the tomb, the courage is that he personally confronted the Eternal God Chosen Moka for three days and three nights, driving the Chaos stuff back to where they should be! "For Arthur, courage is when he is the first dragon slaying knight in Brittany. Courage is when he still bravely comes out to face the green fury when the force is 1:30. Courage means suffering After the first fatal arrow wound, even if tied with a rope, you must stand on the horse! "For me, courage is that after I became king, I did not make a conservative but cowardly decision. I never tried to deny or hide anything. Courage is the great expedition. Courage is that I summon you to stand here Facing all of you and towards you I deliver my speech! ’ ‘So, gentlemen, what is courage to a lady? Ryan finally brought up the most critical topic: "For a lady, courage is when the Brittany people are most difficult and desperate, she stepped forward and extended a helping hand to us. Under such a threat, she appeared again and again, standing with us, her courage is that when rumors spread, she admitted all of this frankly, her identity as an elf god and gave us the right to choose! ’ ‘And now, Bretons, tell me, where is your courage? Ryan roared: "Half of the old world has fallen, and when many countries with a long history have already fallen or are about to fall, the wild beasts, the undead, the Skaven, the greenskins, and the chaotic frenzy in the north may break through at any time." Where is your courage, Bretons, when the imperial defense line goes south? ! "Some kind of flame was ignited, and every Britannian present could feel it. The flame in the chest was burning, spreading from the body to the limbs, and then to the head, and the long-standing passion was awakened. The hair stood on end, Thighs trembled, fists clenched, blood pulsed. The knights and nobles let out roars. They recalled the history that made the blood boil thousands of years ago, and then remembered what is happening now. The fire is still burning, and the blood is still not cold.

"It was the lady who chose us, but also our courage chose the lady!" Ryan's roar echoed, like a storm hitting the beach by the sea: "We will tell everyone in the world with our actions, whether it is Elf gods or human gods, ladies are our gods! Whether allies or enemies, in the face of storms, we will never give up, we will never compromise! We will fight to the end, until the last son of Britannia dies, if This is the end of our history, so we have to use our sacrifices to play the last song that belongs to us, the knight's elegy!" "Elf gods? Human gods, is it really that important? Tell me, Britta Nia people! Do you agree with the lady staying?" "Yes! Yes! Yes!!!" The voice in the hall sounded again, louder than before. "The lady is our Britannia god!" Finally, someone shouted "The lady is our god!" someone said. "Ma'am! Ma'am! Ma'am!" trickles, rivers, lakes, and seas, to giant storms with choppy waves. The great nobles of Free Britannia were almost shaken collectively. More than half of them had expressions of shame on their faces, and they were already praying to the goddess for forgiveness. "The end is near, we will fight in the Empire and Estalia!" "We will fight on the border of the Corona road!" "We will defend our kingdom at any cost, and if need be, we will fight in Lyona We shall fight by the sands of Sai and by the lighthouses of Le Angoulans, we shall fight among the manors on the plain of Courona!" "We shall fight in the streets of the capital, in the forest of Arden, in the The port, in the mountains of Montfort, and Bastogne, our land of dragons!" "Where is your courage, Bretons? Where is your chivalry?" Ryan shouted: "Who still remembers the oath of chivalry, who still remembers the eight virtues of chivalry?" The nobles slapped the seats and railings vigorously, or waved the silk scarves and the parchment in their hands with all their strength. The excitement was surging like a mountain roaring and a tsunami shaking the sky, especially the young Devonhill , Ryan's eldest son jumped up and down excitedly, eager to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. In the originally cold parliament hall, like a volcanic eruption, scorching air overflowed the hall and spread to the outer hall. "Let's invite the lady back and welcome the final battle, what do you guys think?" "Yes! Yes! Yes!" All the great nobles shouted hoarsely, even those from the Free Bretania faction All were on their feet, shouting the names of the ladies and Lane, waving parchment and silk scarves in approval. There is no more doubt, no matter whether the lady is an elf god or a human god, don't we Bretons even have the courage to admit the truth? The lady gave us courage, now it's our turn to give Him courage! Duke Bohemond nodded slowly and stood up to applaud. Seeing him get up, all the neutral knights and nobles also got up. "Approve! Approve! Approve!" "Madam! Madam! Madam!" "Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!" The holy knight's oath resounded from the hall again until it spread throughout the palace! "I swear to be kind to the weak. I swear to be brave against violence. I swear to stand against all wrongs. I swear to fight for the defenseless. I swear to help anyone who asks me for help. I swear to harm no woman. I swear to help my Brother knight. I swear to be true to my friends. I swear to my love until death." Seeing people scrambling to wave parchment and silk scarves in their hands, Ryan nodded slightly, and the king closed his eyes. Success is not the end, failure is not the end, the most important thing is the courage to move on. And the hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage. :. : m.x あ奇奇novel 蛧ヤ~7~1~7~(ωωω).qq7(1)
