Chapter 253, This Time, You Should Go One Step Further (5,000-Word Chapter!)

ps. This chapter is 5,300 words long, I wish you all a good read!

ps2. I saw someone complain that the Red Duke is weak. What I want to say is that the protagonist is already very strong, and the Red Duke itself is not particularly strong. If you look carefully at the history I described before, the Red Duke has been Defeated many times, he just escaped fast.

As long as the teleportation technique of the sorceress is interrupted, these people will be unable to escape today. Manfred's face is full of hatred. It is the second time, and this time he must kill Ryan!

At this moment, Ryan moved, his whole body was filled with powerful spiritual energy, and his eyes were enveloped by the vortex of spiritual energy.

He was recalling the psychic skills the Emperor taught him. Ever since Manfred gave him a trick, he had been planning to give the vampire count a hard time. Now, this plan came.

There is no reason for Ryan not to have this ability, the Emperor will, and Malcador the Magicweave will, but this ability consumes too much, and he can only use it once in a battle.

"Kill him! Kill Ryan Malcador! For Abbott Wallace!" The blood knights gathered, and five or six long spears rushed towards Ryan together.

The tip of the spear pierced at the same time. However, something that shocked all the blood knights happened. Ryan's body exploded in the light blue light of spiritual energy and turned into countless fragments. Nothing.

This scene stunned everyone who was fighting.

There are still three seconds before the teleportation technique is activated.

Immediately, all the fragments emitting light suddenly condensed behind Manfred and appeared, it was Ryan! He passed through the space inconceivably, Nemesis pierced Manfred's chest from behind, and black blood spattered.

There are still two seconds before the teleportation is activated.

"Ahhh!" Manfred was hit hard by the blow, and he covered his chest with his hands. His offensive was interrupted. Ryan immediately pulled out the Nemesis, and shouted: "Alfred, Gerald! Go!"

Manfred was thrown towards the Blood Knights by Ryan. Alfred and Gerald immediately gave up the fight. They fought hard to get a sword in the back and jumped towards Teresa. The Blood Knight was killed by Manfred. Body knocked down.

There is still one second before the teleportation is activated.

"Let's go!" Teresa reluctantly raised her staff, the teleportation technique that she had prepared for a long time finally took effect, and the three men touched the sorceress' staff together.

Yellow light illuminates the camp.

Then, everything fell silent.

…………

Duchy of Pordero, Turis Castle.

A burst of yellow teleportation light lit up in the middle of the castle, and several people fell from the void to the ground.

"Who are they?!" The appearance of several strangers aroused the extreme vigilance of the castle guards, and the Sea God knights completely surrounded them and unsheathed their weapons.

"It's me!" Among the four people who fell, only one stood up. The Holy Grail Knight Commander badge on his chest showed his identity. The Sea God knights immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency Ryan!"

"A doctor is needed here!" Ryan barely stood up, and he yelled at the nearby soldiers. Teresa's mana could not support long-distance teleportation, so Ryan had already planned to teleport directly to Turis Castle. inside.

Many castles don't welcome uninvited teleporters and have restrictions, but Lion was prepared ahead of time.

Teresa used too much magic power, and she was completely unconscious. Alfred lay on the grass in the castle with blank eyes, and he said weakly to his side, "Are you dead?"

"Not dead yet!" Gerald's gnashing of teeth answered him.

"Lyan! Gerald!" Francois and Bo Derick rushed over, and several lake god prophets and doctors immediately stopped the bleeding for Alfred and Gerald.

There were also Lake God Prophet who came up to try to heal Ryan, but Ryan stretched out his hand to signal that he didn't need it.

What he took out was the head of the Scarlet Duke and the sword of Aquitaine.

"This is?!" Francois and Boderick stared wide-eyed: "The head of the Red Duke?!"

"I ended him." Ryan hugged Teresa, and he said softly, "In the name of a lady, I ended him completely."

"The Blood Red Duke has been crowned, and the siege weapons have been completely destroyed." François stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes: "We have won this war! Ryan, well done!"

"Thank you, Ryan." Bo Derick couldn't help but smile, this was the best news he had heard in a while.

"You worked hard too, Gerald, and Alfred." Francois nodded.

"It's my duty to fight for the lady." Gerald was very weak, and he was the one who was the most injured among the people involved in the mission. He was covered in blood, and the prophet of the lake god knew how hard Gerald had gone through after a little inspection. , the deepest wound was only a few centimeters away from his heart.

Alfred's injuries were better. The paladin itself is a particularly resistant class. At the most critical moment, he activated the Holy Shield and saved his life. However, all of his paladin plate armor was completely destroyed. The destroyed shield was simply thrown into the vampire's siege camp.

Teresa was held in Ryan's arms. The champion of the Fairy in the Lake looked at the pale sorceress who had fallen into a coma, and sighed softly. Teresa was willing to follow him to the front line and stay behind. In order to cover herself, she even overdraws the power of her blood and fights Manfred.

The sorceress has never expressed her mind in words, but her actions have told Ryan everything she wanted to say.

"Your lover? She's a powerful wizard." Francois said with a smile when he saw that Ryan unbuttoned the sorceress's leather jacket, helped her take off her boots and cotton socks, and put her on the bed that Ryan was supposed to rest on.

The Duke himself has several female courtiers, including the Lake God Prophet who healed everyone just now is also his lover. Francois didn't think there was anything wrong, but he was a little strange. Ryan, as the fairy of the lake, was chosen Champion, why didn't he choose to let the Lake God Prophet serve him?

But since the fairy in the lake didn't say anything, Francois didn't have much to ask.

"Not yet." Ryan shook his head lightly. Teresa's body was severely overdrawn, and the sorceress might need to rest for several months.

Now there is still an army of vampires outside the city. Ryan and the others are injured again and cannot leave the castle for the time being. They can only settle down first and wash the wound with clean water blessed by the prophet of the lake god to prevent the vampire's sword from being poisoned or corrupted.

After Ryan showered and changed, Francois was already waiting for him in his bedroom: "How is it, Ryan, are you all right? I want to take this opportunity to chat with you."

"It's okay, I'm not seriously injured." Ryan shook his head. He had some minor injuries, but it didn't bother him.

The room in Touris Castle is very simple, with only the most basic daily necessities and furniture. The attendants brought in a lot of white bread, vegetables and a lot of meat. Francois stroked his beard elegantly. He was dressed in blue The white-patterned mithril full-body plate armor, with a shiny blouse on the outside, couldn't hide his praise and love for Ryan. Facing his future son-in-law, he really looked more and more pleasing to the eye: "Ryan, you really have You have given me surprises again and again, this time, your Earl position is secure."

Ryan devoured his food, and the high-intensity battle made him feel hungry, but after hearing what Francois said, Ryan stopped his behavior with some doubts. He took out his napkin and wiped his mouth: "It can kill you!" The Blood Red Duke is indeed a great achievement, but... Will Richard be willing to give me a title again? Last time I rescued His Highness Morgiana from Manfred, His Majesty Richard didn't respond at all. "

"What? Do you feel psychologically unbalanced?" Francois smiled and said, "You are not satisfied with being the lady's God's Choice champion and owning the lady's tower?"

"Victory can sit without words, defeat without words can avoid." Ryan softly said a famous quotation from the emperor.

The meaning of this sentence is that there is nothing to write about against darkness and eradication of evil, because this is what we rely on to survive in this world, and similarly, there is no explanation for failure. You have to bear the consequences of failure yourself.

"I'm just wondering that our Majesty the King didn't respond to the previous credits, but why can you be sure that I will be promoted to the earl this time?" Ryan asked his own question.

"I can understand this level of meaning, Ryan, you surprised me again." François nodded, and the Duke said: "But you obviously made a mistake about saving Morgiana, our Majesty You don't need to reward, but you killed the Blood Red Duke and burned all the vampire's siege equipment, our Majesty has to reward, and you must reward heavily."

"Please teach me, my Duke." Ryan's face became serious now, and he solemnly asked Francois to teach.

Ryan is already very sophisticated and mature in his understanding of the world, but he is obviously still far behind François in terms of the game between the nobles and the court's machinations.

"You saved Morgiana, it's not difficult to reward you, but what about after the reward? How will our majesty balance his power? The power between the lake god witch and the king is originally obscure. On weekdays, the king and the lake god witch The power boundary between them is very blurred. The two seem to be non-interfering with each other. The king is in charge, and the witch of the lake is the assistant. But you must not forget that the witch of the lake has deposed the king more than once, and then appointed a new one. King." Francois's sea-blue eyes were full of wisdom.

Ryan was stunned when he heard the words: "That's right, everyone is responsible for their own duties, and I only saw that I rescued Morgiana, but I didn't notice the balance between the power of the king and the power of the lake god and witch."

"Yes, from a certain point of view, Richard will even be grateful to you, because of His Royal Highness Morgiana's serious injury, he is more free, but if he rewards you, how will the kingdom's court balance? If you sit down to me You won’t have so many questions after staying in the position for twenty years.” To Ryan, Francois never hesitated to raise his own points: “But on the other hand, you killed the Scarlet Duke this time, our His Majesty the King must make a statement, Ryan, let me ask you, who gave the king's power?"

"In the traditional sense, the king's power comes from the endowment of the lady." Ryan chose the most standard answer.

Francois raised the corner of his mouth: "Ryan, what you said is not entirely correct. Yes, the king is given by the lady, but the king's authority is given by all the nobles in the whole kingdom. If Richard cannot get the support of the nobles What's the use of being a king if he has the title of king but can't mobilize an army of knights?"

"Every knight in Britannia constitutes the noble system of the entire kingdom. If you want to order all the knights in the entire kingdom, it does not depend on whether you have the title of king, but whether you can convince the whole kingdom. "Francois sat on the chair and whispered to Ryan: "The power is at the bottom, not at the top, otherwise the title of king is just a castle in the air."

"So, I advise you to take a step back in the previous chivalry war in Arden Forest, because you didn't have much capital to fight for anything at that time, but this time, I think you have to go further. The Blood Red Duke brought us too much What a painful memory, your killing of him is what everyone expects, you deserve what you want, otherwise the knights in the whole kingdom will have opinions, Richard originally only had that little bit of authority, in terms of his intelligence , He knows that this time he will not only reward you, but also make an exception, so as to satisfy the nobles of the entire kingdom, we should go further, Ryan." Francois smiled.

"I see."

Inside the city, Ryan and Francois were having a secret conversation, and outside the city, in the camp of the vampire army.

Manfred covered his chest with his hands in pain. The vampire count who was stabbed in the back left a terrible scar on his chest. The white purification flames continuously penetrated into his body against the bones and rotting flesh. No matter what the vampire count tried, he couldn't extinguish the terrible flame. Finally, when the flame burned close to his heart, Manfred had no choice but to cut off his wrist - he tore off all the flesh burned by the flame, and then Gasping for breath.

"The Red Duke is dead, his soul has been destroyed, and he can no longer be resurrected." The death of the Red Duke caused a sensation in the entire Mu Xilong's vampire forces, and the Lich King Akhan had to rush to the front line immediately.

"Lian Malcador and his companions have teleported into Turis Castle!" Manfred covered his chest with his hands. There was a terrible huge wound on the chest of the vampire count. He struggled and said, "The siege weapon was destroyed. We can't take Turis Castle anymore!"

"Ahhh! It's Ryan Malcador again!" Lich King Arkhan leaned on his staff, his tone filled with anger: "Time after time, he always sabotages my plans...can kill The Red Duke, that team of blood knights must have been eliminated by him too."

"He's wounded now, trapped in Castle Turis...Arkham, this is a chance, a good chance, the war is lost, but we still have the potential to cause pain to the country, especially to Ryan Ma Kado feels the pain!" Manfred yelled unwillingly, and he gave a suggestion: "We are now setting up camp overnight and crossing the Sharon Forest, we will slaughter the entire territory of Ryan-Macado! We will Bring him painful memories that he will never forget!"

Akhan the Lich King hesitated. The blue flames in his eyes flickered back and forth, and he was a little hesitant. Turis Castle had tens of thousands of troops, elite city defenses and dwarf artillery, and François, a sanctuary-level Holy Grail Knight, was in charge. , the green knights have just appeared here, and it is impossible for them to capture Turis Castle.

On the contrary, Baron Jean's elites were all out, and the defense of the territory was empty. Even Ryan himself came to the front line.

Moreover, the Lich King has always suspected that Morgiana might be recuperating within the Baron of Jean.

Akhan's heart wavered, seeing Manfred's determination, he finally nodded: "Just do as you say."

"But before that, let's find a way to fool the defenders."

…………

At the same time, inside the Sharon Forest, three golden lights descended from the sky. Below the forest, Angron, the Primarch of the World Eaters, and two imperial guards were already waiting below: "Father, Your Excellency Kaul, and... ...Guilliman?"

The stalwart figure of the Lord of Humanity landed on the ground with a serious expression, and the supreme majesty turned around him, while Guilliman, the Primarch of the Ultimate Warrior, uttered an inconceivable cry: "An... Angron? God! Nah! Oh, I... I really don't know what to say..."

Seeing that Angron had changed back to his original form, Guilliman burst into tears.

"Hey, Guilliman, you are also the regent now, why are you still as emotional as that sissy Fulgrim?" Angron was very excited, and he gave Guilliman a warm hug: "It's a pleasure to see you You, my brother."

In the huge instrument, Fulgrim, who had already ascended to demon, was still screaming incessantly.

"I'm also... very happy, Angron." Guilliman also embraced him enthusiastically, Angron patted Guilliman's shoulder vigorously, and there was a sound from the Seiko power armor.

"Where is Ryan?" The emperor saw the two sons embracing each other, his eyes fluctuated, and he looked away.

"Lion went to the front to deal with the vampire army." Angron let go of Guilliman and said to the Lord of Humanity.

"...It's okay, we have other things to come here this time, so we're not in a hurry to go back, it's okay to wait a few days." The emperor said calmly.

"Then come with me, I recently brought some plump tuna, and some coffee beans from the south." Angron then motioned for everyone to follow him, and the two imperial guards held up the huge instrument that sealed Fulgrim. Get up and keep up with the footsteps of several people.

A group of people came to the safe house in the forest valley. It was getting dark. Angron took the emperor and others to sit in the open-air courtyard by the stream, boiled water, and then ground coffee beans for the emperor and others. Guilliman served two warm cups of coffee: "Come, Father, Guilliman."

In the early summer season, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the breeze was blowing through the woods. Guilliman comfortably picked up his cup, took a sip of coffee, and sighed: "It's so beautiful, I feel like I'm back in Macragge."

The emperor was looking at Angron's collection. All kinds of heads were placed everywhere. He took a full sip from his coffee cup. Even the Lord of Humanity hasn't tasted the original coffee for many years: " It tastes good, Angron, and you can make coffee too now."

"Really? Hehehe!" Angron was like a child who has been praised by an adult, and couldn't help being complacent. This is really against a two-meter-tall man, but Angron really Like a child, eager to be recognized and praised by his father.

After a while, the Imperial Army placed a large pot of milky white fish soup in the middle of the wooden table.

"Try my craft, father, Guilliman, this is tuna fish head soup, and the grilled fish steak will be here soon." Want to chat with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, Find a confidant~
