Chapter 415, Thinking
"We must be cautious about this matter. Now we don't have so many troops to consume." Sitting in the black carriage, Matthew Bud's face was full of resentment and hatred. After two inexplicable losses, Mu Xi The number of Long's undead army has dropped to the lowest point in history.
When Akhan left, he took most of the fresh troops with him, and left some old, weak, sick and disabled for Matthew Bard. The blood ghost and a team of blood knights.
And there are the last remaining ten black holy grail knights.
The black Holy Grail knight is very powerful, even stronger than ordinary Holy Grail knights. After Arkhan's special magic circle and secret method, every black Holy Grail knight dies, and all the remaining power, martial arts and all combat experience in his body are lost. It will flow back to Matthew Bud, and finally let him complete the transformation.
But now is not the time to sacrifice all the black holy grail knights to strengthen themselves, this most elite unit, Matthew Bard, has other uses.
"Bodleix's infiltration is not so easy, my Duke, especially at the banquet site, the wizard hired by Duke Boderick of Boldro will raise a barrier to surround the entire banquet site, and anyone who is not The welcome guests will be discovered immediately, and the black holy grail knights cannot sneak into the banquet site, and they cannot deal with the group of nobles in a sneak attack." Farah, the necromancer, whispered in his dry voice: "We need to find a way to enter The banquet scene."
"There is only one invitation card, and there are two guests." Matthew Bud took out the invitation card from his arms, and his eyes fluctuated a little as he looked at the gilded text on the invitation card.
He managed to find a way to get it from Fiona, the granddaughter of the Duke of Berleon. The little girl is still obsessed with him. After he used Fiona, the girl is still stupid. She thought he just listened to her angry words before leaving without saying goodbye. She waited three months in Courona before returning to Berleon. The grumpy girl still refuses to believe that Matthew Budd is a A fallen person, a traitor, she always believed that Matthew Bard was a poor knight-errant who was suppressed by the nobles. He should have won the crown of the Knights Conference. The young knight came out and arrested him privately.
This invitation was also obtained by Matthew Bard from Fiona. Due to the revelation of Duke Theodoric, the court of the Principality of Berleon is currently in chaos. Matthew Bard took the opportunity to let Fiona get the invitation for him .
"One invitation is not enough for all the black Holy Grail knights to sneak into the banquet." The necromancer shook his head again and again, and he said to Matthew Bard: "The great nobles are also knights who have won the three armies. There are no nobles with guns, there is only one chance, once the nobles react and prepare for battle, we will miss the opportunity."
"I know! Farah, I don't need you to guide me! The godfather asked you to stay to assist me in destroying this country, not for you to command me!" Matthew Bard was so handsome that he didn't look like a human with a ferocious face: " Of course I have a way, you just need to obey my orders."
"Yes." The necromancer's face changed back and forth several times, and finally he lowered his head.
"Bodeleux's defense is indeed strong, but it is not invulnerable." Matthew Bard took out the map and pointed to the top of the castle: "The wizards raised the barrier, but there will be no defense above the castle. We only need to Figure out a way to create chaos at the banquet and send you from above the castle into the castle,
Then you can directly teleport the black grail knights into the banquet scene through spells, ready to slaughter. "
"Creating chaos at the banquet? Everyone present at the meeting is..." The necromancer still felt that this method was not feasible, and he shook his head again and again: "The people present are all nobles, wizards and guards. What kind of chaos can make them ignore the safety of the dukes? "
"There is a way, you definitely don't know, Bordeaux has an ancestral performance, which will be performed at major celebrations and banquets." Matthew Bard put his gaze on the map, and the corners of his mouth were raised high: "That's Dragon Quest."
"This is our perfect opportunity to create chaos."
The black carriage carried dark secrets and entered the deep alley in the street. Matthew Bud had a foothold here, and they were ready to start their plan.
…………
"The banquet is already being prepared. We have prepared hundreds of livestock for slaughter, as well as a large amount of flour, fresh vegetables and fish. Although I don't think it is necessary to make such a big fuss, my father insisted."
On the streets of Pordero, Fedmond was introducing the banquet with Ryan and others: "Besides, there is a famous event that has not been held again for 20 years—Dragon Quest will be held for the first time in two years. It must have been a remarkable feat to perform in the ballroom of the Château de Boldereau for ten years."
"Oh, I have always heard about a magical dance in the empire, called the Breton dance. This time I have the opportunity to see it." Templar Alfred looked around excitedly, his face It is full of expectations: "Wow, there are a lot of seafood. I heard that the cod in Pordero has a unique flavor."
"Yes, this banquet will definitely satisfy you." Fedmond turned his eyes on Ryan and Suria, and the Holy Grail Knight squeezed out a smile from his face after a little deliberation: "Unfortunately, I couldn't attend your wedding ceremony."
Ryan just felt that it was not easy to answer this question. He just shook his head, indicating that it was okay.
The young earl was thinking about the significance of Duke Boderick sending his own son to greet him and take him to visit Boldeiro.
Duke Boderick is releasing a political signal to express his implicit support to Ryan. His heirs have all come out to greet him. This shows that the Principality of Bordeaux is on its side in the competition for the king. , at least not against it.
The most important thing is that he can bring huge benefits. Looking at the crowded castle, Ryan thought so.
So the question is, how can I obtain the duke title before Lawn inherits the kingship?
There are so many problems, Ryan decided not to think about it for the time being. Regarding the throne, he knew that he would eventually have to discuss it with the fairy of the lake. Su’an’s Kesikui Kingdom landed and poisoned all water sources, causing a plague to spread. Hoss, the god of high intelligence and wisdom, proposed to use arcane magic to heal the elves infected with the plague, but Asuryan, the phoenix master, refused. Asuryan not only refused to allow Heth to heal the high elves of the Kosque Kingdom, but also ordered the burning of the magic scrolls of Heth, which triggered a new round of disputes between the elves and gods. As the goddess of the high elves, Lilith had to... She tried to prepare the medicine herself, so she didn't show up for a while.
"Which dukes will arrive at this banquet? Your Excellency Fedmond?" Seeing that Ryan was silent, Suria knew that her husband was thinking about something again, so she took the topic along the way.
"Lawne, Duke of Connet, Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne, Furcade, Duke of Montfort, Hagen, Duke of Gisole Aux, Aldrell, Duke of Lyonnaise De will arrive here to congratulate, and it is said that the king's representative, Earl Taubert, will also arrive." Fedmond nodded politely to Suria, and the newly promoted Holy Grail Knight thought that Ryan's wife was indeed a great beauty. I just don't know how the Countess Eva chosen by my father compares with the Marquis Suria.
Fedmond led everyone around for a while and then left. The rest were Ryan, Alfred, Suria, and Emilia. Suria held Ryan's hand and stood aside, while the little maid He was holding the Marquise's hand and following, Alfred looked at Fedmond's leaving figure and said to Ryan, "I don't think I'm his opponent."
"No accident, it won't take long, and he will become the new Duke of Boldeiro." Ryan whispered to Alfred: "It is necessary for me to establish a good relationship in advance."
"Are you also seeking the help of the Sea God Knights to help you attack the Blackstone stronghold?" Alfred smiled: "Good friend, how big an army do you plan to organize?"
"I don't plan to ask the Sea God Knights to help. I just hope that they won't be stabbed in the back." Ryan looked at the Sea God Knights who were patrolling the street. Fighting in the mountains is not as many people as possible. Sea God Knights are good at sea battles war on the plains.
"Did that chattering dwarf king tell you when to attack?" Alfred then asked, as always, this Ryan's childhood playmate seldom took off his armor, and even when he came to the banquet, he was still fully dressed. armed.
This is also a kind of asceticism. In this way, the Knights of the Templars emphasize that victory cannot last long. As guardians of order and opponents of evil, they must always be vigilant. The great threat of chaos is often not From the outside, but from the corruption and depravity of the inside.
Bellegar-Iron Hammer certainly hoped to borrow enough knights from the Kingdom of Knights to regain Eight Peaks Mountain, but it took Ryan three days to finally convince the king of the Angrund clan, Ryan said very sincerely The duty of a knight is to defend the country. It is very difficult to organize a huge army of chivalry to launch an expedition of this scale. Even Ryan, the chosen champion of the fairy of the lake, cannot do it. The knights must be famous.
Ryan promised Bellega that if Bellega was willing to assemble an army of dwarves to help Brittania conquer the Blackstone stronghold, that stronghold would be given directly to Bellega and his Anglund clan as a temporary foothold, base and In the future colony, after owning such a fortress, Bellega can gather the tribe, resume production, and prepare for the recovery of Eight Peaks Mountain.
Like the dwarves, the knights of Brittania believe in chivalry. After the dwarves helped the kingdom of knights solve a serious problem, Ryan had reason to persuade the witch Mogiana, the goddess of the lake, to call on the kingdom to organize a The army of chivalry went to help Bellegar regain Eight Peaks Mountain.
This is called being famous.
It is indeed very difficult to convince the stubborn dwarves, but fortunately, Bellegar is not really an idiot, especially when he failed to recover the Eight Peaks Mountain three times, the King of the Eight Peaks Mountain who has learned the lesson knows that the dwarves need such a powerful heavy The cavalry unit, the dwarves and the greenskins can only defeat each other in battle. If they lose, they can't run away, and if they win, they can't catch up. The main problem is that the dwarves don't have cavalry.
A very important factor for the good relationship between dwarves and humans is that they complement each other. Dwarves with powerful infantry regiments like to "cooperate" with the Imperial Knights in battle, just to make up for the lack of cavalry. The Litanian knights are surrounded by a group of younger brothers, and if the dwarves want them, they must want the best.
Bellega put forward three conditions. Ryan must personally participate in the attack on the Eight Peaks Mountain. All materials and commissions must be borne by the Knight Kingdom when attacking the Blackstone stronghold. To form an army of knights to attack the Eight Peaks Mountain, the number of knights must not be less than 3,000.
In return, if the Eight Peaks Mountain is successfully recovered, Bellegar promises that the Angrund clan can sign a "Holy Alliance" with Lion (just like the alliance signed between the Empire and the Dwarf High King), and share five points of all the wealth sealed in the Eight Peaks Mountain one.
The conditions were barely negotiated, and Ryan immediately went to find his father-in-law. Francois immediately made a decision to say that the commission and supplies for attacking the Blackstone stronghold were released from the Duke of Wenford. Le had a vengeance, and François dreamed of cutting the remaining half of Kemmler's head in half.
"The time for dispatching troops is tentatively scheduled to be after the end of spring plowing next year. The Knight Kingdom needs time to recover. Bellegar has already written to the dwarf kings and his lost clansmen asking for help. It will take time." Ryan and Alfred said : "Get ready first."
"Well, that's the only way to go." Alfred looked up, and found that everyone had come to the door of a store. This clothing store had a huge bird logo, which was a pink-faced echo bird hanging on a tree branch.
The store's signboard is a huge purple "X" ring pattern, with the store name "MarcDorcel" written on the back.
This is the famous Bretonnian fashion brand 'Woodpecker', known throughout the old world, Marc Dorcel is the name of the founder of this clothing store, which sells a wide range of women's clothing, shoes and accessories.
"Let's go in and have a look!" Suria and Emilia's eyes lit up when they saw the store, and the countess immediately took the little maid into the store for shopping, only Alfred who followed behind complained to Ryan : "By the way, why is the logo an echo bird, and the founder of the store is Marc Dorcel, but we call him a woodpecker?"
"It seems to be a translation problem. At the beginning, there was a knight king who didn't recognize Echo Bird, so he insisted on calling Echo Bird a woodpecker. As a result, the name was passed down like this. After hundreds of years, everyone called it Woodpecker, and they didn't change it after getting used to it. Ryan replied casually. He is familiar with this brand. The maid outfits and stockings and high-heeled shoes of Emilia and Orika at home are all custom-made from this brand.
"So that's how it is!"
"Ah! It's you!" At this moment, a savage and unreasonable voice sounded behind the two of them: "What are these two men doing here?! It's disgusting, get out of here!"
