Chapter 471, The Green Knight Appears
"Duke, we should go, the whole of Nuer is waiting for you." Marshal Erstein of Nuer said to Emilia seriously.
Emilia was reluctant to take a last look at Ryan's territory, where the green waters and green mountains were full of vitality. On the farmland, the serfs were harvesting winter wheat. All the knights under Ryan's command came, and they lined up neatly. Hats off to Emilia.
No one thought that the head maid of the earl would be the elector of the empire, but everyone gave Emilia the highest degree of respect after learning about it. The knights admire those who are persistent and responsible. Emilia worked as a maid for Ryan for more than eight years.
Now, Emilia must return to the empire, where there are her vassals and subjects, they need Emilia, and Emilia must also fulfill her duties, she is the elector after all The last bloodline of the family.
Suria, Teresa, and Veronica are here, as well as the dark elf Orika and the lake goddess Morgiana who rarely go out.
Of course, what caught Emilia's attention the most was the earl with a slight sadness and a smile on his face. Time flies, when the elite troops of the Nur Iron Armored Army surrounded her, the twenty-five-year-old Emilia was There, looking with affectionate eyes, vaguely reappeared the appearance of himself when he first saw Ryan at the age of seventeen.
When I saw him at that time, he was just a knight of the Kingdom of Nord, an ordinary member of the White Wolf Knights!
Along the way, Emilia is the witness of Ryan and the countless epics created by him. Emilia thought she could be a loyal spectator and keep watching, but the time of parting finally came. With tears in her eyes, when the light played the serenade of going home, she tried to recall how she packed her bags and set off at the pier in Marienburg eight years ago, and followed Ryan home.
Emilia turned around slowly, she motioned for the Nur Iron Armored Army and the Grand Masters of the Knights to get out of the way, and walked in front of Ryan. The man had a doting smile on his face, and he reached out and held Emily down. Ya's shoulder, patted twice.
The Duchess gritted her teeth tightly. She understood how fragile she was when facing this man. As long as he spoke, as long as he begged herself to stay, she would be willing to abandon everything and stay by his side, even if it meant being an unknown person for the rest of her life. points maid.
He didn't. On the contrary, Ryan's meaning was very clear. How to choose was up to her. No matter what decision she made, he would support it.
But this is the hero of mankind in her mind. Ryan is a man soaked in a sense of responsibility and mission. He is a model of chivalry, the champion of the fairies in the lake, and a model for all knights.
If Lane really begged Emilia to stay like a licking dog,
Instead, she would look down on him.
"...Finally, I still want to say thank you, Ryan, thank you, without you, I would not be who I am now." Emilia came to Ryan, and the Duchess Nuer said one last sentence: "I will always be yours Little maid Emilia, my man."
After speaking, Emilia tiptoed and kissed Ryan lightly on the mouth, and then the Duchess left without looking back.
Nuer's army left right in front of Ryan, and Ryan stared blankly at the departure of the army. The earl sighed, and Emilia's choice to leave also meant that she would give up her current stable and comfortable life, and choose the future She threw herself into Nur's political vortex. At present, Emilia has absolutely no shortage of opposition in the imperial court. Both the position of the elector and the position of the Grand Duke of Wissen are represented, even though she holds the holy sword of the elector "Western Sword" fire", this time going back will definitely be a bloodbath.
But this is her choice, Ryan has no right to interfere.
"Let's go, let's go back." Ryan turned around, his backyard was very tidy today, except for the fairy in the lake who was sneaking around and didn't know what he was planning recently, all the women who had relations with him came .
The two witches left first, Teresa and Veronica, who have been busy with magic experiments recently, and then Morgiana, the witch of the lake god is sending people to investigate Mu Xilong, she is trying to know the whereabouts of the Holy Grail of medicine through divination.
The ones who stayed were Suria and Orika. The female knight walked gently to Ryan's side and held his arm, gently comforting her somewhat disappointed husband: "It's not like we'll never see each other again, wait until the time comes Appropriate, we can go to Nur to see Emilia together, she has already built a teleportation array, just waiting for Ms Elspeth to activate it there."
"Actually, the time for Emilia to leave is inappropriate." Ryan shook his head, he signaled for the knights to disband, then turned and returned to the winery: "But there is no way, it is indeed the agreed time, Nuer has already It's dragged on long enough."
"Master, she has it." The dark elf's words were quite straightforward, Olika squinted her eyes, and said in an unpleasant tone: "Really, the master has been with her recently."
"Emilia is leaving after all. I should give her more time. I can only blame myself for not being up to date..." Suria held her belly resentfully. After more than a year of marriage, Ryan and She has been together the longest, and the spirit pattern has matured long ago, but she just doesn't move.
At the same time, the female knight still had a sense of crisis in her heart. If Emilia gave birth to an eldest son, then due to the identities of both parties, this child must be a legitimate illegitimate child with noble status recognized by everyone! If I can't live up to my expectations, does that mean that Ryan's title will be inherited by Emilia's children in the future? !
"Don't worry, Suria, Emilia's children will only inherit Emilia's title, and all my titles will be inherited by our children in the future." Ryan saw Suria's worry, and he smiled He said: "You can rest assured about this, I will not die so easily."
Surya blushed, and the female knight said in a low voice: "I'm not worried about this, what I'm worried about is what if... I can't give birth?"
"No, Emilia...it's just special." Ryan complained: "Her spirit pattern only matured three weeks ago, and then only a few days...she immediately had it."
"Master, why is it so easy to have Emilia?" the dark elf also asked curiously.
"Because there are no violent magic elements in her body, the whole process is relatively easy." Ryan shook his head: "You are all different, Olika, your body has a lot of dark magic mana, and Suria's body Accumulated a lot of lady power."
It was only then that the female knight and the dark elf maid suddenly realized, especially Suria. The female knight blushed and wondered if the goddess had been possessed too frequently recently?
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Emilia is lucky, you will all have it." Ryan signaled that they should go back, there are still many things for the earl to deal with.
……… I am the dividing line dealing with internal affairs………
Old world, east of Britannia, gray mountains, river valley below Blackstone stronghold.
The Crusade Knight Kharad is marveling at the ingenious craftsmanship of the dwarves' architectural skills.
Under the peak of the Gray Mountains, there are farmlands being cultivated. More than 2,000 serfs are working hard to atone for what they have done. They are working hard while thanking the Duke of Hagen for his generosity.
The dwarves of the Angrund clan have completely controlled the river valley with only a few outposts. Each outpost has only 5-10 dwarves stationed. These dwarves rely on elite firearms and various defense equipment to resist An army of thousands of people!
And if the dwarves at the outposts judge that there are enemies that cannot be resisted, then these outposts will light beacons, and then the dwarf army living inside will go out to fight and deal a fatal blow to the enemy. Seeing the beacon fire will immediately go out to fight.
At the same time, some of the actions of the dwarves opened Calad's eyes. Facing these unarmed escaped slaves, Belegar ordered his men to train them to learn basic spear thrusts and use some crude hand crossbows. The dwarf hand crossbows are too easy to use Well, the serfs only need to learn how to reload, aim, and pull the trigger. This kind of brain-dead tutorial allows the serfs to get started quickly, and even has a certain effect.
The expeditionary knights faintly realized why the serfs in Ryan's territory had considerable combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that time is running out, and Karard can't stay in this place for too long. In order to continue to win the attention and love of the lady, he must set off. The human army led by Sir Bertrand even left two weeks ago.
Picking up his Excalibur Durandal and riding his love horse Galipa, he cleaned his tattered burqa, and to Karard's delight, Bellegar let his runesmith Slud- The Honest One helped him recast his knight plate armor, and added three runes on it to protect this powerful expeditionary knight. Out of the friendship he once fought side by side in La-Messenelle Abbey, the dwarf only It was very conscientious for the dwarves to charge the cost of Karad plus three hundred gold crowns.
After a long expedition, Calad had a good savings. Equipment and horses were the life of a knight, and he paid for it without hesitation.
Putting on his armor and stepping on his horse, Calad bid farewell to the dwarves and the serfs in the valley, and embarked on the expedition alone.
The Holy Grail expedition is lonely. After three hours, the mortal population and towns have left Calad, and now the knights of the expedition are left with no one in the wilderness. The time has come to April, Gisoleox It was still snowing in some parts of the principality. Callard suspected that the snow was the last struggle of winter, but there was no doubt that it was indeed snowing softly.
From Calad's perspective, he could occasionally see some barren farmland, yes, occasionally, but when he looked up, there were very few serfs farming in the farmland. Obviously, the damage Kemler brought to the principality would not be in the past. Disappearing in such a short period of time, Karard even doubted whether the damage brought to this land by the necromancer could be healed, but no matter what, Kemler was dead, and the life of the serfs and nobles would eventually go on.
this is life.
What made Karard feel weird was that the merchants gathered like sharks smelling blood. Along the way, he encountered many caravans, all of whom planned to go to the newly built trading post for trade. They carried animal skins, fine wine and The horses were exchanged for the weapons and equipment produced by the dwarves and the dark beer and food produced by the empire.
This makes this land more or less alive.
Caravans are escorted by troops, some are from the army of the Principality of Gisoleoch, and some are escorts from the merchants themselves. While the safety in the wilderness can be guaranteed, Karard feels annoyed. If this is the case, what will he do? Can you give enough tribute to the lady?
He decided to continue to stay away from human habitation.
Gradually approaching the forest of Arden, Calad finally saw his prey as he wished. Amidst the sound of horseshoes of the expeditionary knights, a panicked woman was running wildly in the woods, trying to stay away from him.
Callard immediately confirmed who the other party was. She was wearing a stained green robe and a pointed wizard hat. When she saw the figure of the expedition knight, the woman screamed and ran wildly between the woodlands. Her expression was full of fear, and many The magic power was released involuntarily, forming green waves in the air, and the long gray hair smelled of curses. She tried to rush down the hillside, intending to disappear into the depths of the forest.
This is a wild mage! She is a female wild mage who has awakened her magical talent without systematic training! Karard knew that among the people, they had an unwritten unified title, that is witch.
Karard had only recently seen a witch hunt in the river valley under the Blackstone stronghold. The witch was tied to the stake and waited for the purification of the flames. As a result, the witch was not afraid of the flames. She released a sharp laugh on the stake. He controlled the flames to attack the serfs, cursed everyone and warned them that he would come back and destroy the land.
Then the dwarf's cannon immediately blasted the witch to pieces.
In this world, witches are not synonymous with primary productive forces and beauty and kindness. Under the pollution of chaos and corruption, every wild mage who has not undergone systematic training will sooner or later become a chaos wizard, and eventually become a transporter of chaos demons into the mortal world. Door.
"Evil creature, lackey of Chaos, die!" Callard kicked his horse in the abdomen with his spurs, and the pure-blood elf steed ran through the woodland with a loud roar, and the horse's hoofs trampled on the snow-covered and muddy ground. Causing Karard to lose his sight, the witch chanted a spell, and the crazy growth of thorns and thorns almost surrounded Karard.
She almost made it.
"For... Ms.!" The expeditionary knight clenched his long sword with both hands, and the branches that wrapped around him seemed to be empty. The rage and cursing, the obstacles that troubled him were chopped down by him with a few swords, and he steered the horse vigorously, Callalard signaled his beloved horse to make a final sprint: "Deal with her!"
In the scream of the witch's fear, the war horse ran through the deep woods like a thunderbolt. Durandal accurately tore open the thorns and thorns. The back of her body was roundly cut by Durandal's sword, and with a flash of cold light, her dead head fell to the ground. The headless corpse continued to run for two steps, fell into a piece of mud, twitched slightly, and then disappeared. movement.
"Hmph!" Calad dismounted from his horse full of disgust. He carefully observed the witch's corpse and knew that what he met was just a small character. If this level of tribute can satisfy the fairy in the lake, then the Holy Grail The expedition would not be so difficult. The expedition knight knelt down on one knee, prayed to the lady and told his insignificant victory, and then planned to continue to set off to find his next goal.
However, the prayer was not over yet, and the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from deep in the forest.
A green figure appeared in front of Karard. He was riding on a tall war horse, wearing a strange green armor with ivy wrapped around it. His whole body was green, but he exuded endless majesty.
"You are?!"
