The army returned to Curona, and Knight Queen Surya personally led the knights and nobles of the capital, merchants from major chambers of commerce, and the remaining troops to greet them.
Just at the door of Corona, Knight Queen Surya showed a proud and proud smile. She got off her horse under the protection of a large group of knight nobles, and then stood in front of everyone. Behind her, she was dressed in a black and white maid uniform.
The dark elf Olika, who was wearing white stockings with suspenders, also showed uncontrollable excitement on her face at this time. She could not help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips.
The master is finally coming back! She has been away for more than half a year, and she misses her master!
Sulia also noticed Olika's excitement, because Olika's hand, which was holding the umbrella for her, shook slightly, and the female knight couldn't help but whisper: "Olica?"
"Madam." The dark elf maid, Ryan's personal pillow, was a little annoyed: "Why hasn't the master arrived yet?"
"It should take a while." Sulia has been the acting regent for this period of time. The Knight Queen is truly the master of the matter. She is now very magnanimous and extremely confident: "Don't worry, Orica, please bear with me."
The dark elf's waist-length black hair was gently shaken. Olika looked at Sulia with a little contempt in her amber eyes, and whispered in Sulia's ear: "Keep it up, madam?
I don’t know who couldn’t bear it first? Madam, I just want to ask you a question, are you planning to give up tonight to me while you are so dressed up?”
"Olica!" Sulia was a little displeased at being teased by the dark elf, but she just called out Orica's name. The female knight was indeed a little upset. She had indeed dressed up since the morning.
, just to welcome her husband.
Lidya Su's outfit today is a very classic white military shirt. This shirt has sky blue cuffs, exquisite and beautiful embroidery patterns and vibranium buttons. The sky blue shoulder straps have the family crest of a pure white horse, and two long
long braid
From the epaulettes to the chest, two buttons are stretched tightly, and the long platinum curly hair is fixed by a hairpin and hangs down from the back of the head like a waterfall. It sets off the proud figure of the female knight and her noble, elegant and heroic appearance.
The beauty of human beings.
The hem of a blue pleated skirt that is ten centimeters above the knee is printed with complex white patterns. Each section of the pattern is carefully sewn with gold thread, and is spliced together section by section to form a mysterious elf.
The words unfolded gently like lotus leaves, and the tight and slender legs wore a pair of fleshy
Colorful velvet ultra-thin pantyhose, delicate and exquisite feet covered with black lace mesh shallow stiletto high heels, revealing the delicate and small ankles wrapped in stockings, and there is also a rope on the right ankle that exudes the sacred spirit.
Wei's diamond anklet reflects colorful light under the sun.
"Master will like Madam's dress very much, I promise." Olika faced Sulia's reproachful eyes nonchalantly. The dark elf was just a little unhappy: "It's a real loss for Master not to take me with you this time. In Vero
After Nica and Teresa came back, the sow was the only one left with him, right? Oh, or two."
"Olica!" Sulia was finally unhappy. The female knight was indeed a little angry: "Have you forgotten the treaty we signed at the turkey dinner?"
"Treaty? Aren't treaties meant to be torn up?" Even though Olika said this, the dark elf was obviously still a little afraid that Sulia would really get angry. After all, she was the only daughter-in-law recognized by the Lord of Humanity, so the dark elf
The elf pursed his lips and said, "Madam, have you heard the news from the empire? That guy Emilia is already pregnant for the third time."
Speaking of this matter, Sulia couldn't remain indifferent. The female knight said a little unwillingly: "Yes, Emilia is really productive. Orika, maybe she has her own secret medicine. It is said that the third
The child will be named Rita."
"It doesn't matter what you call her." Olika shook her head: "She certainly can't threaten you anyway, but I still suggest that if you have a chance, you have a talk with her. On the one hand, you can exchange opinions, and on the other hand, you can beat her.
she."
Sulia's sea-blue eyes trembled slightly. The Knight Queen remained calm and did not let the dark elf lead her away: "I can handle this matter by myself. You don't need to teach me. What else can I do besides this matter?"
The latest news?”
Seeing that Sulia had escaped from his own rhythm again, the dark elf secretly "squeaked" deep in his heart.
The principal wife of our family is difficult to deal with.
"There are two pieces." Orica simply said the latest information, all of which came from the empire.
It can be said that Emperor Karl-Franz was a very good and keen emperor. After the medal craze in Marienburg, the emperor immediately responded quickly. He immediately announced that the imperial court would begin accepting war donations and at the same time award military medals.
.
The emperor's elaborate medal system was as follows:
Order of the Golden Griffon of Charlemagne.
Rick's Golden Double-Headed Eagle Iron Crown Medal 1st Class.
Grand Cross Leopold 2nd Class.
Medal of the Edelweiss 3rd Class.
Although the response to this incident was slightly later than that of Ryan, the empire responded quickly and immediately left a private space for the native medals before the entire imperial aristocratic circle was conquered by Britannia's various exquisite medals.
The market is still crazy about the Order of Britannia
, but it is generally believed that the Emperor also fulfilled his duties as an Emperor in this fight against the Chaos Invasion. After the medal made by Gelt's Alchemy Academy was released, Emperor Karl-Franz relied on his extremely fast reaction to make him
The state treasury soon received tens of thousands of gold marks, which can be said to have stopped the loss.
At the same time, there is good news for the empire, that is, starting from this year, Solland, ruled by the royal chief wizard Gelt, has officially turned a profit and no longer needs the emperor’s investment. Not only does the Reikland under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor no longer need
You will need to continue to invest money in Solland, but you can start to receive a large amount of grain, livestock and ore from Solland in return.
The Sol Fortress at Dongfang Pass has been completed. From now on, the Sol Territory will no longer be easily invaded by the greenskin tribes in the Black Mountains and rush into the hinterland. This is obviously also thanks to Gelt, the great alchemist is clearing out the black people.
During the Skullcrusher Greenskin Tribe of the Mountains, a single ultimate alchemy spell turned hundreds of wild orcs, as well as greenskin warlords and goblin shamans into golden statues.
Now Sol Territory has formed a new army with about 12,000 people. This army is truly a new army, full of vigor and vitality, and the emperor obviously has great trust in Geert's loyalty.
They didn't even make too many restrictions or dispatch supervisors, and put Solland and the army of Solland directly under the command of Gelt.
"It can be expected that the empire's difficult financial problems will be improved within a few months." Orica concluded.
Sulia nodded slightly. He was indeed Emperor Karl-Franz, with far-sighted vision and extraordinary insight.
The second thing is more important, that is, the emperor immediately received major inspiration from Lane's Old Guards. Karl Franz announced military reforms and formed a new Imperial Franz Guards Army. These troops
The emperor selected the elite from the regular armies of each empire and unified them for reorganization. It just so happened that the great invasion of Chaos made the electors aware of the role of a powerful central army, and they were all willing to cooperate.
This Guards Corps is different from the Reik Guards. In the past, the Imperial Legion was usually a relatively monotonous single-arms legion. The naming method was generally the name of the province + the name of the arm + the number. For example, Reik led the First Halberd Regiment.
For example, the Midden Land Yurik Swordsmen Regiment, such as the Ivey Land Expeditionary Pistol Cavalry Regiment.
But this time it was different. Karl Franz reorganized the Franz Guards Grand Army into two subordinate infantry regiments (sword and shield, halberd), a sword battalion, a light cavalry regiment, and an artillery regiment to form a mixed organization.
, In this way, this large army with an estimated number of 5,000 people can integrate infantry, cavalry, and artillery under the same command, and mix the array and number of infantry, the mobility of cavalry, and the firepower of artillery, allowing them to exert their respective effects.
produce maximum combat effectiveness.
This is also the inspiration Kahuang got from Lane's Old Guard mix.
However, Sulia also knows very well that this hybrid organization is also a great test for the commander's ability. Her husband Ryan is an undisputed military genius and master of strategy and tactics to the whole world. Commanding the mixed organization
Of course there is no pressure, but as for the empire...
While Sulia was still thinking, in the distance, the army of chivalry was approaching, including the lion flag symbolizing Britannia, the iris flag symbolizing Ryan's book sword, and the tricolor flag symbolizing the Old Guard.
, the ducal heraldic flags symbolizing the major principalities appeared one after another from the horizon.
Seeing Sulia greeting him outside the city, Ryan got off his horse. The king and queen looked at each other. Under a thousand words, Ryan didn't know what to say. He finally decided to stretch out his arms: "I'm back, Su."
Leah.”
"Welcome back, Ryan." Sulia was a little shy, but still firmly threw herself into Ryan's arms and leaned on her husband's chest. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment.
There was applause and cheers around, until Ryan took the initiative to speak in Sulia's ear: "Madam, your plan is really great. We made a lot of money selling the medals this time! Even if we throw away the cost and blessing fee, we
At least you can make an improvement of 150,000 gold crowns in this area! You are so amazing, madam, please let me kiss you quickly."
After saying that, without waiting for Sulia's consent, Ryan kissed the female knight's thin lips hard.
Francois laughed in the distance, and his father-in-law touched his goatee and said to the Dukes around him: "Look, how old are these two guys, and they are still so romantic?"
The father-in-law's behavior made everyone look at him with contempt.
Keep showing off! Old fox, just show off as hard as you can!
As soon as Ryan's lips parted after the kiss, he noticed that Sulia's legs were weak in his arms. The female knight's face was red and she could hardly stand. She quickly stretched out her hand to push Ryan away, and said in an accusing and covert manner: "Lian, it's hot outside, first.
Let the army enter the city, I have prepared a triumphal ceremony for you."
"Okay!" Ryan immediately took Sulia's little hand, and then smiled at Olika, whose face was full of resentment, pouted, and turned into a dumpling face: "Olica, thank you for your hard work, I'm back.
.”
"My master is such a ruthless master. He was willing to leave your personal maid behind for so long." Olica pouted: "And he also gave birth to another child with a wild woman outside."
"What is a wild woman? Didn't Amelia become my maid with you?" Ryan knew that he did not take Orika with him on this expedition, and the dark elf must be very dissatisfied: "She can't be considered a wild woman.
"
"Forget it, it's better than that sow." Orica secretly glanced at the Lake God Witch who just got off the carriage: "Master, I have arranged everything in the palace. Thank you for your hard work when you come back from the expedition. Good luck.
Rest."
"good!"
…………I am the dividing line between wild women…………
After returning from the expedition, in addition to the grand triumphal ceremony and the sacrificial ceremony at the Holy Grail Cathedral, the distribution of pensions also continued in an orderly manner.
This time, a total of more than 52,000 troops were sent to Britannia during the Great Expedition of the Knights. In the end, more than 42,000 people successfully returned to their hometowns. Among them, nearly 10,000 were killed or missing, plus about 2,000 seriously injured and disabled people. Their families or
I can all get a large pension.
Ryan handed over the pension to the Fairy of the Lake Church for distribution. Under the supervision of the goddess, there would be no corruption in the distribution of the pension, and part of the money also came from the church tithe.
of.
Then comes the retirement ceremony.
After the end of this expedition, some soldiers will retire, and it is Ryan's decision to retire them, because the rapid rise of the citizen class and free peasants has caused Britannia to have no shortage of soldiers, so some older
Among the veterans who were too old or disabled, Lane arranged for some of them to be promoted to junior officers, while the rest were arranged to retire.
For normal people, the body usually begins to mature at the age of 16, and physical fitness begins to decline slightly at the age of 26, and begins to decline rapidly at the age of 30. Therefore, Lane sets the retirement age of ordinary soldiers who have not been promoted at 27-28 years old, and
The total service time is based on 6 years, and in principle it should not exceed 8 years. At this age, if you have not achieved a breakthrough in strength or been promoted to an officer, you must retire.
Some people in the Old Guard are forced to retire. For this kind of elite army, all soldiers of the Old Guard start at least at the elite level. Their physical fitness lasts longer, and they have better nutrition and more systematic training.
and stronger strength, so the peak period will last longer. Ryan has decided that if he is not promoted to the legendary level or becomes an officer, the retirement age is 38-40 years old.
There are two types of retirement. The first is the so-called "buyout of military service", which means you will get a large amount of retirement pay in one lump sum based on your service years, service level and the number of major battles you participated in. The second is "buyout".
"Job resettlement" means that officers who have reached the level of company commander or above will be provided with an optional job if they retire, but the retirement pay they can receive will be greatly reduced.
In this way, on the afternoon of this day, the Chivalry Army was officially disbanded. Most of the soldiers who participated in this war and returned alive carried bulging bags and heavy bags of gold coins and returned to their hometowns with smiles on their faces. They would sit on the ridge of the fields.
sit on a pile, sit in a tavern, sit
Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, people were told about the legendary epic of the expedition led by His Majesty Lane. Countless young people were fascinated by it. They all dreamed of following His Majesty Lane on the Great Expedition, serving as soldiers and making great achievements, and digging for the first pot of gold.
, and even get a knighthood.
However, the ordinary soldiers went back, but most of the knights and nobles, especially the great nobles, were still staying in Curona.
They are preparing to attend the investiture ceremony for Kalad. The Lady of the Lake will appear in person on the Day of the Lady of the Lake in late October, and formally award Kalad the highest Order of the Lady of the Lake at the Holy Grail Cathedral.
At the same time, according to rumors, Knight King Ryan will also officially confer the top ten marshals of Britannia at this event!
The ten marshals! Who will they be?
All the great aristocrats heard the news and started to stir up trouble. A storm about the list of marshals caused huge waves in the aristocratic political circle!
