Chapter 645 Destruction Is Approaching
When Olika returned to the elector's palace, Ryan had also led the army back to Nur.
When the knights entered the city, the citizens of Nur lined up to welcome the return of the heroes, and Ryan and the others also showed off their trophies, a carload of Kurgans, heads of Chaos Dwarves, heads of Beastmen and Beastmaster Hulder, When the cavalry team showed the spoils to the citizens of the city, the citizens of Nuer responded with deafening roars, and the cheers resounded from the street to the end of the street. At this time, no matter in the entire city of Nuer Nobles and slum dwellers alike shouted the names of the heroes, as if they had won the war.
No one noticed that the old marquis Ogier of Wessenland did not appear in this army. Mario, the son of the old marquis, did not say a word when he saw the crowd of Nur, but shed tears silently.
No one asked why such an event like a military parade was held when the army was pressing down on the border, or why the old Marquis Ogier was defeated and died in order to gain more time. The citizens of Nur were not told.
The reason is simple. Those who doubt the former do not understand war, and those who doubt the latter do not understand politics.
As a thank you, Nur's most famous painter, Master Holbein, who is currently painting the statue of Archbishop Valenna, the Goddess of Justice, showed the returning army the masterpieces he worked day and night.
"Karl Franz at Hocklands".
This exquisite oil painting is about two meters wide by two meters long and depicts Emmanuel, the ruler of Nur, standing on the throne of the Elector in the palace hall in the midst of a war against evil Before, with a smile on his face and eyes full of love, he greeted the return of Duke Ryan and others.
Ryan, Karard, and Pfitzman each held the heads of a Chaos Champion, a Chaos Dwarf Warlock, and a Beastman Beastmaster, and were showing their results to the Countess. Ryan's real Duchess, Suria, was intentionally hidden In the back, but Holbein still meticulously drew Suria's exquisite face and figure. As for the black-hearted Lei Pu, he did not have this treatment. His body and face were shrouded in light and shadow, leaving only a silhouette .
The works drawn by Master Holbein definitely do not lack voices of admiration and praise, but they also usher in many questions.
Numerous questions were raised among the citizens of Nur.
"Who is in front of the throne on the screen?" Someone asked
"That's Your Majesty the Duchess, fool!" immediately replied a minor nobleman, looking very pleased with himself, while offering all his praises to the painting.
"How many men?"
"It's the Duke of Lane! The other two men are His Excellency Callard, Earl of Garrament, and Pfitzman, Grand Leader of the Knights of the Sun!"
"So that's how it is." The person who asked the question finally understood, but he still had a doubt: "But why is the name of the painting called this? I mean... His Majesty Karl Franz?"
"His Majesty Karl Franz is in Hawkland!"
The whole city of Nur is very satisfied with this painting, and appreciates it very much, and no one does not praise it.
Ryan noticed the commotion among the crowd, and he was relieved that the citizens of Nuer were at least all prepared for war. It is said that all citizens who can still use weapons have received basic military training.
Emilia seemed to see Ryan's thoughts, and the Duchess of the Empire sneered and shook her head: "It's not as good as you imagined, Ryan. Just after you left, there were two riots in this city."
"Two riots?" Suria was very interested in this, or the female knight was very concerned about her son, little Devonhill, and she thought that Emilia hadn't instilled some strange things in little Devonhill. Theories and ideas, right?
"The first riot was when a large number of refugees flooded into the city." Emilia sneered a few times, and the Duchess of the Empire's face was full of majesty and disdain at this time: "The city has been arranged by the people of Wessenland shelter and rationing, but many refugees are not happy with this,
Many of them want to live in rich areas or churches, and some even suggested that Nuer University has empty classrooms, libraries and student dormitories. Nuer is not just Nuer, they ask me The approval allows them to freely choose the area to live in, to be completely independent in distribution and to enjoy citizen treatment. "
"...How did you solve that problem?" Surya asked with interest.
"It's very simple, fines and executions." Emilia's tone did not fluctuate: "After executing hundreds of leading troublemakers, the problem will be solved."
"The second riot was some Nuer citizens, especially female citizens. Thousands of female citizens formed a parade to seriously protest some recent decisions, such as stopping all entertainment activities, not allowing all kinds of banquets, and even taverns are closed. The sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited (except for dwarf taverns)." Emilia shook her head: "This question is also simple. When I announced that if they don't like Nuer, they can leave here now, and they can go to the municipal government immediately. Go through the formalities at the city hall, give up your citizenship, and go to a place where banquets and entertainment can be held, but I heard the officials at the city hall tell me that there are not many women going to go through the formalities.”
"Pfft~" Ryan couldn't help laughing. He opened his mouth and gave up. "Forget it, as long as you can solve it, let's change the topic."
"Elstein and the others are already waiting for you at the city council." Emilia smiled sweetly at Suria: "Sister Suria, how are you doing? Are you satisfied with that painting?"
"Ah? Which painting?" Su Liya didn't respond for a moment.
""Emperor Karl-Franz in Hawkland"!" Emilia said with a smile: "Sister Suria must like it very much. If you like it, I will give it to you, okay?"
"No need, keep it for yourself." Suria immediately understood what Emilia meant, and the female knight had a polite smile on her face.
"That's a pity, Devinhill likes it very much!" Emilia expressed regret: "I thought you would like it too."
Su Liya's face remained unchanged, and the hand holding the rein of the mount couldn't help but tighten.
It seems that Emilia can no longer take Devon Hill.
My son has to be brought by myself!
The long line entered the Nuer City Council. At this time, all the military nobles, imperial generals, wizard leaders and engineering masters of the Nuer Military Factory in the entire Nuer City Council were present.
At this time, the entire circle of nobles in Nur no longer had the slightest hostility towards Ryan, Karard and others. Their eyes were full of admiration and gratitude, or at least recognition. Grand Marshal Erstein of Nur saw When Ryan came in, he took the initiative to give up the second position on the right for him to sit down.
Everyone began to prepare for this chaotic invasion.
The generals of the parliament and the head of the Knights agreed that they must find a position with deep defense. According to the information from Ryan and others, the Nuer War Council has already been outside the city of Nuer, at the intersection of the Wessen River and the Aiwei River. A new line of defense was built on the peninsula-shaped highlands. This line of defense was built by dwarf craftsmen and human craftsmen using barbed wire, trenches, and forts. Under the guidance of dwarf craftsmen, the artillery positions were protected behind many bunkers. Hundreds of mortars and cannons, dozens of Hellstorm bazookas and Hellblast rapid-fire guns are ready for battle.
More than fifteen imperial infantry regiments, tens of thousands of imperial swordsmen, imperial spearmen, imperial crossbowmen and imperial halberds have already arranged their own defensive positions, and more than ten musketeers battalions will It will fire under the protection of infantry. In addition, Nuer City also maintains a reserve army of at least seven imperial infantry regiments, ready to respond to changes in the entire battlefield at any time.
All the sects of Nur have decided to join the battle. The Great Chanter Kasmir IX will stand on the war altar of the Justice Church and lead at least a thousand ascetic monks, two companies of paladins, and hundreds of battle priests to the empire. The army supported, and the remaining churches also contributed money and efforts. The mysterious knights of the goddess of justice Valenna and the sun knights of the war goddess Mirmidia had joined the battle with Ryan long before. To some extent , The power erupted by the belief in how to survive cannot be ignored. The best way to meet fate is to die gloriously in battle when facing the enemy.
Of course, hundreds of Nuer wizards, headed by Nuer's black lady, cemetery rose, Nuer's patron saint, and death sanctuary wizard Elspeth von Drakken, are also ready to join the battle.
In the end, Nur's most elite troops were divided into several parts. Countess Emmanuel personally led the steam tank company, Nur Iron Armored Army, and the Old Guard. The troops entered the battlefield, and the elite mercenary regiment Mannann's Blade from Marienburg filled the decks and interiors of four land ships under the leadership of the mercenary commander "Blackbeard" Teach.
