Chapter 558, Wrist and Compromise
ps: There are a lot of plots analyzed recently, so I hereby add a new chapter! Please subscribe to Duck!
Lawn's problem is also a very complicated political one.
Because during the Matthew Bard Rebellion, the Duke is now in a very awkward position.
It would be unconvincing to say that Lawn was not responsible for the current situation. After all, he was the leader of the army of chivalry. As the main general, he could hardly absolve himself of the responsibility for this failure.
But if Ryan wants to be punished heavily, it is also an unrealistic thing.
According to the law of Brittany, the members of the original twelve Holy Grail Knight families will not accept any charges except treason and blasphemy.
So was Lawn treason and blasphemy?
No.
Matthew Bud is Matthew Bud, and Lawn is Lawn. Although they are father and son, they are indeed two independent individuals.
Lawn is a glorious Holy Grail Knight who possesses both virtue and bravery. He is hardworking in combat and excellent in internal affairs. Since he became the regent of the kingdom, his ability has been unanimously praised by all the nobles in the north.
Facing the rebellion of Lyonnaise, he tried his best to suppress it. Facing Mu Xilong's undead army, he also fought bravely to the last moment. He never betrayed the kingdom of knights, and he never failed the mission of the fairy in the lake.
From the point of view of chivalry, Lawn has nothing to blame. The only thing that can be blamed is that Lawn did not take care of himself when he was young.
But this has nothing to do with treason or blasphemy, and it has nothing to do with chivalry. Chivalry has no requirements in this regard. Even when some Holy Grail knights were forced to stay at the serf's house, many serfs would let their wives and daughters Go to serve the Lord Grail Knight and see if you can "steal the noble blood".
This kind of thing is not common, but it happens occasionally, and Francois once told Lane to pay a little attention to this issue.
Therefore, from this point of view, it is unrealistic to severely punish Lawn. Even at this juncture, it will cause fierce reactions from many duke families, and it will also cause a series of plans between Ryan to face considerable resistance.
Ryan also felt very embarrassed, and he then asked, "Is Lawn seriously injured?"
"It's very serious. Morgiana used the best herbs bestowed by the lady to treat Lawn, and at the same time used a great spell to help him get rid of the poison. The poison on Matthew Bud's sword is very terrible. Lawn is now having a high fever. The condition is very unstable, and the two lake god prophet sisters are constantly chanting magic spells to help him stabilize his life characteristics." Bohemond frowned: "At the same time, your female courtier also joined the first aid, she created a large amount of ice. Block helped Lawn with his fever."
"Teresa?" Ryan nodded, "No wonder I didn't see her."
"Huh, you deserve it!" Veronica was still a little bit aggrieved, and the witch purposely leaned beside Ryan, muttering in a low voice, "Who told him not to take care of himself? He gave birth to a good son..."
Ryan's original serious face immediately became a little tense when he heard the witch's complaint. He couldn't help but chuckled twice, and stretched out his hand to pinch Veronica's little hand wrapped in black lace gloves: "Don't do this! We Talk about business!"
"Anyway, I can't talk about serious things. I'm just a wizard and I'm naturally looked down upon by you Holy Grail masters. Can't I complain?" Veronica was still angry, and the witch folded her arms and leaned against Ryan's pillow. spoke.
Francois thought about it carefully,
He stood up and paced the room for a while, trying to say: "Maybe... Ryan, maybe we can take a step back on this issue."
"Take a step back?" Ryan looked up, thoughtful.
"Yes, I think, from the current point of view, let's take a step back on this issue, and let's just pretend nothing happened." Francois nodded, his sea-blue eyes rolled around, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his chin: "The outcome of the battle for the throne has already been decided. It would be out of style for us to pursue the responsibility at this time."
"How is this possible?!" Veronica was like a cat with blown fur. Witch Jialan almost jumped up, and she shouted angrily: "If it weren't for his failure, Ryan would be forced to mobilize the serfs of spring plowing ? If he hadn't lost so thoroughly, we would have been forced to ask the wood elves to open the tunnel for us, and owe such a big favor? If it hadn't been for him..."
Speaking of this, Veronica couldn't continue, because Francois looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Are you finished?"
"...It's over." Veronica knew that she had lost her composure. She sat down, turned her head, and the corners of her eyes were raised, obviously the anger was still there: "I'm a little agitated, please forgive me."
Francois paused for a moment, and the father-in-law smiled and said, "I understand you, Ms. Veronica, you care about Ryan, and you think it's unfair to Ryan, I understand."
"But the problem now is that even if we want to pursue accountability with all our strength, we can't do anything about Lawn. Even if we force him to go on a redemption expedition, what can we do? Can we resume production, stabilize the situation, and save the country from Mashuba? Will it help to get rid of the German chaos?" Francois said earnestly: "No, it will not do any good except to add more trouble to the chaotic capital."
Bohemond also nodded, and the Red Dragon Duke continued: "Yes, Francois is right. At this time, Lawn is seriously injured and seriously ill. If we stand up and hold him accountable, it is really not in line with chivalry. Moreover, we all know what state Richard is in now. He is already able to ignore things. If Lawn is now forced to go to the monastery to meditate behind closed doors or go on a redemption expedition, the whole kingdom will be devastated. In the north, there will really be no one in charge!"
"Furthermore, Ryan is already the winner. It is no longer possible for Lawn to threaten him on the throne. He should be more generous." Francois also said: "At this time we take the initiative to take a step back, and Lawn will owe you We have a huge favor, but we benefit more, I even suggest Ryan, you might as well propose to Richard directly to continue to appoint Lawn as the regent of the kingdom."
"Continue to appoint Lawn as the regent of the kingdom?" Ryan squeezed his chin to think about this question, and he faintly had more insights: "You mean, use Lawn's influence to ease the conflict between the North and the South?"
"Yes, in the eyes of the knights and nobles in the north, Lawn is their representative." Francois nodded again and again, and the old man said with confidence: "Now, the knights and nobles in the north have suffered heavy losses in a series of wars. Now No one has the strength to oppose Ryan, you ascended the throne, on the contrary, they still urgently need our food and military support."
"Well." Ryan lowered his head, and he carefully considered the pros and cons: "At this time, if I were a knight nobleman in the north, then I must be very worried. When food needs relief and public security needs help, Ryan, Will François and his gang play tricks on our vital interests, such as territorial sovereignty, trade tariffs and population."
"If we choose not to hold Lawen accountable but let him continue to serve as regent at this time, then this is a strong signal." Ryan immediately understood: "In this way, the knights and nobles in the north will not feel that we Suppressing them and squeezing them out of the decision-making circle, and our tolerance will definitely make Lawn grateful, after losing his qualifications to inherit the throne, his role as regent is not only harmless to us, but beneficial!"
"Hehehe~ It's good if you can figure it out." Francois looked at his son-in-law and felt more and more satisfied the more he watched, he learned too fast.
After a few more words, the three Holy Grail Grand Knights had been chatting for a long time, and Francois and Bohemond stood up: "You have injuries, so I won't disturb your rest, Ryan, take care of yourself." rest."
Before leaving, Bohemond asked casually, "By the way, when do you plan to recover Musillon?"
"Ten days of rest! While the Wood Elf army and you are here, our army will rest here for ten days, and then go south to recover Mu Xilong!" Ryan said seriously: "The morale of the army is now high, there must be no delay, we must Take Mu Xilong in one go!"
"Then is your injury okay?" Francois nodded, and he thought so too.
"no problem."
"That's fine, we'll go south after ten days of rest."
After Francois and Bohemond left, Ryan looked out the window and realized that it was already late at night. He smiled at himself, and then asked the Witch Garland sitting next to him: "Are you angry? Dear?"
"How dare I be angry with His Excellency Duke Musillon, the future King of Knights, and the noble Lord of the Holy Grail!" Veronica crossed her arms in a strange way, and turned her head to the side: "Now you are the most powerful person in this kingdom!" Powerful people, this is not something a witch should be involved in, and now Master Ryan already needs a wizard to provide him with advice on the internal affairs of the kingdom?"
"Hahahaha!" Ryan couldn't help laughing, he stretched out his uninjured hand to wrap around Veronica's slender waist, and then kissed her swan-like neck: "Dear Yes, thank you, you are willing to endure in front of me, I am very happy, I know that you have sacrificed a lot for me, don't worry, no matter what, I am the one in front of you whose face was scorched black by the fireball technique, showing A knight errant with white teeth."
"Hmph~ You're smiling like a dog, I don't even remember it!" Veronica remembered what happened back then, her heart was sweetened, and the unhappy expression on her face couldn't be maintained anymore. She leaned carefully on Ryan's On the shoulder, he muttered: "Is this how you lie to women? No wonder so many women like you, the Elector, the Lake God Witch, the Dark Elf, and Mrs. Suria?"
"You're kidding me." Ryan complained, "Now a 30-year-old homeless man can say the highest compliment to you, would you be moved... Oh!"
"Damn man! I like to destroy this atmosphere!" Veronica reached out and twisted Ryan's waist, and said angrily, "Go to sleep by yourself tonight!"
"Don't be like this, honey, just talk to me tonight~" Ryan put his arms around Veronica's waist and motioned her to come up.
Veronica vaguely understood what Ryan meant. Witch Garland nodded with a blushing face, stretched out her hand and untied the straps of her high heels, kicked off the high heels with a pair of delicate stockings, got into the bed, and said softly: "It's just chat?"
"Of course, it's just a chat!" Ryan smiled maliciously: "The method needs to be changed a little bit, and you chat with each other."
……… I’m just talking about the dividing line………
After ten days of rest, Ryan, who had recovered from his injuries, did not delay. He immediately led the army of chivalry, dwarves and wood elves to the south, and officially sounded the clarion call to recover Musilon!
At this time, the undead forces entrenched in Mu Xilong were no longer able to resist Ryan's attack.
At the end of May, Richard Castle and Oise Castle fell, and all the undead defenders were wiped out.
At the beginning of June, the castle of Biocari fell, the castle of Pied-Ocon fell, and all the armies of the undead were wiped out.
In mid-June, the Crechat Forest was cleared, and the Beastman tribe entrenched in the forest was completely wiped out.
In late June, Freya's ancient church was conquered by the army of chivalry. The tombs of the undead here were cleaned up, and the three corpse kings were beheaded on the spot by Ryan, François, and Callard.
At the end of June, the Orphan Hill's greenskin tribe was completely wiped out, and the whole foot of the mountain was full of greenskin corpses. A fire burned for a day and a night.
When the time came to the beginning of July, the entire Musilon Territory was close to recovery. Only the Musillon Castle stood at the mouth of the Grace Murray River, and the high city wall was quietly waiting for the knights led by Ryan army.
The last battle to regain Mu Xilong will be fought here!
