The first thousand three hundred and seventeenth chapters of Ryan's training 2 in 1 reluctantly repay the debt
By July, the sluggish Brittanian Crusaders finally arrived at Bogenhafen, the key point of the ax-biting pass.
After Sun King Ryan heard about Kalad's victory, he personally visited the battlefield with his wife Surya and son Devon Hill on horseback. Wherever he passed, he participated in the war at that time. The soldiers present personally paid homage.
As Lane described the situation on the battlefield, Lane stopped around the battlefield and sighed for a long time.
A general is easy to come by and hard to find in the three armies. Ryan immediately announced that all soldiers who participated in the Battle of Helmgart would be awarded a third-class Iris Medal. All soldiers who followed Kalad's charge and survived would be promoted, and serfs would be promoted to freedom.
Citizens and free civilians receive the title of sergeant. Those with the title of sergeant are directly selected into the Young Guards. The living are rewarded and the dead are pensioned.
As the most important commander, Callard was awarded the honorary title of "Duke of Flanders" and a large fief, which meant that he was politically equal to all the dukes, but there was no corresponding dukedom.
.
The entire regiment of the Young Guards was temporarily placed under the command of Kalad.
Laune received the honor of the Grand Order of the Holy Grail and was granted the hereditary fiefdom of Chantillon. Lane ordered that the title of Lionheart be added to his title of Marshal, that is, he could call himself Marshal Lionheart from now on.
Sir Amanric, the Great Holy Grail of Carcassonne, was appointed Marshal of Britannia on the spot, which increased the number of marshals to six. His own army was supplemented by Ryan's deployment of troops, because among his cavalry were white horses.
With a large number, they defended the crumbling city in Helmgart, so they were named "White Horse Legion" by Ryan, and Sir Amanric was also called "Marshal White Horse".
As for Diego... Diego doesn't need rewards, and Ryan also doubts whether he is qualified to give Diego more rewards. The Supreme Master of the Gray Knight has reached the point where he has no rewards and no rewards.
He has become the Supreme Master. Could it be that Ryan gave up his position as the original body to him?
However, the Emperor already has a mature system for how to reward people in this situation, so Ryan only needs to follow it.
The Emperor said, don't be a slave of honor... Ryan thought in his heart.
But I do.
Because it is cheap, it is not an exaggeration for the Emperor to reward an Emperor's Custodian with the entire world after serving for countless years. However, the Emperor cannot do that, so all he can give is that long string that is almost impossible to finish.
name.
It seems unfair and unjust, but the Imperial Guards regard it as the highest level of honor and the highest standard of reward.
What about the Emperor? After all he has done for humanity, has he ever asked for any reward from all of humanity?
Thinking of this, Ryan understood that the original body no longer felt guilty towards Diego, because loyalty itself is the best reward. What we do is the welfare of all mankind, and there is no need to care about some details and small sacrifices.
It’s over, am I starting to become a Zhuangson?
Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but laugh. Yes, the Gray Knight is actually somewhat similar to the Dark Angel.
"Father~" Devon Hill's voice came from the side, and his son, who was about to be twenty years old, said to Ryan: "Mom is calling you."
"What's the matter, Sulia?" Ryan looked at Sulia who was not far away.
The Queen of Knights is wearing her very typical white square-button military uniform with golden tassels today, and a sky-blue Pegasus cloak. Her soft, delicate and sacred face frowns slightly, and her long and white neck stands out against the peaks of the gray mountains.
Under the reflection of the white snow, it looks even more arrogant. This is a flower of high mountains, obviously it only belongs to
Yu Laine is unique to her. The collar of her plump and firm military uniform is held up very high. From this angle, it looks more spectacular than ever before. Her slim and plump figure is wrapped in white jodhpurs and boots, exposing all of her moving curves.
It was revealed, and the charm that belongs exclusively to a married woman was undoubtedly revealed with the slightest hint of resentment from the owner.
"I called you several times, are you thinking about something?" Sulia walked to Ryan and tidied his hair that was blown by the wind a little: "I asked you what to do next."
"Next..." The majestic peaks of the Gray Mountains still rose unimaginably high in front of them. Its distant peaks were isolated and blocked by thick clouds, but the most difficult part of the journey was over.
The knights began to carefully go down the mountain along the gravel path full of gravel. They were even more cautious to avoid more horses hooves slipping here.
The air became turbid and foul-smelling, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force could no longer enjoy the pure and sweet fresh air of Britannia. It was replaced by thicker and thicker filth.
The decaying and ruined town of Helmgart lay just behind Llane, now just a wasteland blasted by the Skaven and covered in thorns.
Ahead is the city of Bogenhafen. After the passage of chaos, there are almost no living people in the city, but the general outline of the city is still there.
This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that Nurgle's plague has spread here. The dense poisonous moss, vine and shrub forest starts from the city of Bogenhafen and spreads to a distance of more than ten kilometers away, as eternal as the ocean.
Endless.
Under the city of Bogenhafen, the knights were discussing one after another. They looked at the thick tangle of thorns on the city wall. In addition, they looked around at the vines and weeds that were so dense that they were suffocating. Everything seemed to exist.
Moving slowly around of their own volition, the trees gathered on the crowded roads, looking as if they had grown from the rocks that had just been given life, their roots frozen on the broken masonry of the city walls, their crowns
Longing for the gifts of air and sunshine.
There is no road anymore, and where there should have been a road there is only Nurgle Forest.
There is no river anymore, and where the river should be there is all mud, swamps and countless poison ivy.
Sulia sighed: "Beria and the others estimate that it will take at least several weeks for us to clear the road. If this is the case throughout the empire, it may take several months for us to reach the city of Brunswick."
"We can't wait that long." Ryan thought for a moment, but immediately denied: "But we can't rush to advance. The army is very tired after walking at the Axe Pass for more than a month. What we need to do is to take a short rest."
"forest?"
"The forest is not a problem." Ryan looked into the distance: "Devin?"
"Huh? What's wrong, Dad?"
"Come with me." Ryan gestured towards Sulia, and the knight queen's face suddenly turned red. This was a gesture to live as a couple at night, but she had no reason to refuse, saying that you should take your son for a walk first.
Ryan took his son and ran towards Bogenhafen, leaving the incomparably beautiful female knight Sulia looking at their backs and shaking her head helplessly. Her husband obviously wanted to say something to his son, but she would not participate.
.
"Bogenhafen, as the key point of the Axbite Pass and the point of communication with dozens of water veins in the empire, is an important trade town." On the way, Ryan smiled at Devonshire and said: "When this place was at its peak,
There used to be only a lot more gold in the warehouse than in Braunschweig.
Several large families controlled the city council of Bogenhafen and enjoyed huge profits. Businessmen from the nearby city of Nuer also came to the river to collect lead and mercury from other parts of the empire. Town residents went down the mountain to take out local
The wool and wine produced are exchanged for supplies.”
Devon Hill didn't know why his father told him this for a moment. The son could only say casually: "I know the four major Bogenhafen families, Stein, Hagen, Timgen, and Ruger."
Brod, these four families control the town representative councils and ensure that policies and trade taxes benefit the merchant guild and their families, who have earned unimaginable wealth."
"Oh, you did a good job on your homework?" Ryan glanced at his son, his face was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down: "Then what happened next, I don't need to say more, right?"
"The Timgen family declined because of the Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance with the Emperor." Devonshire said with a smile: "Because the empire and we directly reached a trade tariff agreement and an official bulk goods sales agreement, the Timgen family's business
suddenly declined, they tried many methods to try to reverse the process until
When the new patriarch Johannes took office, the Timgen family's business suddenly exploded and even merged with three other families on a large scale. This attracted the attention of the empire officials. Soon a team composed of battle priests and demon hunters discovered that Johannes had joined Chaos.
The secret of the sect, the entire family was wiped out, and all property was confiscated."
"Yes, it seems that you have studied history and humanities well." Ryan nodded slowly, looking at his son and continuing to smile.
"Hey, my memory is confirmed by my grandfather." Devon Hill was immediately proud. Ryan's youngest son put his hands on his hips to show that he was very strong.
His memory and psychic talents truly impressed the Emperor, and many of the ancient Old Ones' spells were followed by successors.
"Then have you ever thought that this might be a conspiracy of the other three families? Is it possible that Johannes himself is actually a business wizard, and the competition between the other three families just forged Johannes's involvement in the Chaos Cult?
The evidence was reported to the imperial officials, which resulted in the destruction of the Timgen family?" Ryan then asked.
"..." Devon Hill was stopped by Ryan's words. His son opened his mouth and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Don't rush, think slowly." Ryan signaled his son to think first. He noticed that his son, Caldo Diego, was surrounded by a group of official witches and witch apprentices of Gloria with a troubled face.
"Handsome, handsome! You are so handsome~!"
"You smell so good, which brand of perfume are you using?"
"Mr. Diego, I heard that you are a relative of His Majesty Ryan? Can you tell us something about what happened before?"
"The muscles on your body are so strong! Can you touch me?"
The Grand Master of the Gray Knight who had slain through the subspace was extremely embarrassed when faced with this situation. He could not fight or scold him, so he could only retreat continuously and was surrounded by a group of idiots. The witches were simply indifferent to the pure light in the subspace like the Gray Knight.
There is no resistance, especially for a complete body like Diego. Ryan can't touch it, which is explicitly prohibited by the female speaker. The Gray Knight recruits under Ryan's command have few opportunities to interact with him. Now that Diego appears in front of him, there is no reason to let him go.
?
Already a bold fourteen-year-old witch apprentice stretched out his hand and touched Diego's body.
"There is no such worldly desire, there is no such worldly desire!" Diego, who was not embarrassed by the ten demon legions of Tzeentch, was really at a loss what to do and could only keep emphasizing.
"Hahaha~" Ryan didn't seem to have any idea of helping his son. The original Gray Knight smiled for a while and turned his attention back to his son.
"It doesn't make sense, Dad." Devon Hill finally came up with the answer after thinking for a while. His son pulled the reins of the war horse: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you will know that if Johannes is truly a business wizard, there is no reason why he should not
Handle the relationship with the other three major families well, and even if it can't be handled well, there are many other ways to solve the problem, such as winning people's hearts, giving small favors to the citizens of Bogenhafen, such as donating money to the church,
Provide financial support to major guilds.”
"If he doesn't understand this, he is not a business wizard at all." Devin Hill concluded: "So I personally tend to believe that he really joined the Chaos Cult."
"... Being able to judge the truth of the matter by oneself and not being influenced by the instigation of others and subordinates is the standard of a qualified monarch." Ryan nodded and seized this brief opportunity. The Sun King chatted and laughed with his crown prince: "
So you, don’t simply care about the strength of your power. Many times, the strength of your power does not determine everything. Elves and dwarves
The individual soldiers are powerful but the population is sparse. The empire's army is more numerous than the sand on the beach but lacks strong men. The Kingdom of Knights has no shortage of strong men but lacks powerful infantry regiments. Vampires and Chaos are particularly afraid of beheading generals, among which vampires must constantly fight
Divide your energy to control the entire army, while Chaos faces the eternal challenges from its subordinates and the insatiable demands of the evil god."
"Then what is real strength and weakness?" Devon Hill seized this opportunity to discuss with his father. In the past month since the ax bit the pass, his son and his father had discussed a lot, and their relationship had improved: "For example, the country
What is the strength and weakness between countries, and the strength and weakness between people?”
"There's a lot to discuss about this." Ryan pursed his lips and smiled, and he pulled the reins of the second generation of Grape: "The most typical thing, what is the most important thing at the end of the day? Without them, the first is food, and the second is the army.
, that’s all. Fighting requires a strong army, and the army needs sufficient food supplies. If these two cannot be guaranteed, how can we survive?”
"Is this the so-called farming and warfare system?" Devin Hill drew inferences from one example: "Gather grain and build a strong army?"
"That's right, but what happens after you accumulate food and build a strong army?" Ryan then asked: "The high elves have too much food to eat. The farmland near the White Tower of Hoth matures 8-12 times a year, and there is no rich country.
Strong soldiers?"
"Because... people always want something else after they are full, such as... clothing and warmth? For example... entertainment?" Devon Hill thought thoughtfully: "My mother always told me, eat well and wear warmth.
It’s the most basic needs, then safety needs, and then socialization, respect and the realization of self-worth.”
"That's what I taught your mother." Ryan glanced at his son: "After eating and clothing, people will start to have other needs. As you said, they will want to have a house to live in and a pot to cook.
They want to use bowls and pans, they want to eat meat, they want to wear nice clothes, they want to leave their village and see the outside world."
"Yeah." Devon Hill nodded repeatedly.
"When the family has certain conditions and is able to support people who have left their jobs, they will hope to get rid of their fate of farming all their lives. They will want to send their children to the church to study, and they will want to send their children to the army.
Serving in the army is expected to change the fate of the mud-legged children, and many children of knights and nobles with a higher starting point will start as apprentice knights and knights errant.
, even if their starting point is already much higher, they can't help but want to get more. They want to be a knight of the kingdom, a successful hero, a glorious epic of their own, and even want to get the Holy Grail.
With the gift of becoming a lady’s Holy Grail Knight, carrying with me incomparable splendor and glory, I returned to my hometown and accepted the worship and cheers of everyone.”
Speaking of this, Ryan chuckled and said, "Son, do you feel that these are far away from you?"
Devon Hill kept silent, he was born with everything, and he was indeed not very interested in it, but his son learned tact from mother Lilith, and learned intelligence and calmness from mother Sulia.
He just said: "Dad has almost done it for decades
Everything in Britannia is under the control of the people. You open the upward path for knights and serfs, promote industrialization, expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountain, sweep away the chaos, inherit the grace of the lady, fulfill the expectations of all people, and realize your self-worth.
, but that’s it, right?”
"Now, Devin." Ryan couldn't stop smiling, and he said seriously: "In that case, let me ask you, if getting the Holy Grail means the realization of self-worth, then why do those Holy Grail knights show no pity to themselves?
Where is life?”
Devon Hill was stunned, and suddenly he blushed a little.
"You are my son, Devin." Ryan's face straightened. Now the original Gray Knight is more like a father than ever: "You are uniquely endowed, so you should have high requirements for yourself. I have
I have something to say to you.
"I'm listening, father." Devon Hill said seriously.
"As a descendant of the Lord of Mankind, what do you expect now is that there will be all the Gray Knights Brotherhood and Guards Corps to be loyal to you?"
"Then you get the artifact casually? The uncles take care of you over and over again?"
"And there's no pressure at all? You get the Holy Grail easily? You just put on a show and the lady shows up?"
"And then as long as you like the girl, you will agree to pursue her?"
"No way? No way?" Ryan looked at his son with a funny face: "No way?"
Devon Hill's face turned red.
Ryan ignored Devin Hill, and he just continued: "If someone said this to a serf, I would give him a slap in the face. Talk about struggle with a serf? What chance do serfs have? They have already paid for enough food.
How much energy? How many social resources are available for them to allocate? How many serfs participate every year?
Army, how many people can finally join the Old Guard? For serfs, having a suite in a castle, marrying a wife, getting a set of armor and becoming a free citizen are their highest pursuits. We should not continue to give
They raise the conditions and difficulty and criticize them for not being enterprising. This is the human heart."
"Yes." Devon Hill nodded silently.
"But that's a serf, not you." Ryan laughed, but there was no smile on his face: "You are the second generation, you are my son, you have such great potential and unique blessings
advantage, you should strive for it the most, because you have that condition, and the last thing you should do is to hang around. If you hang around like this, I know you are not willing to follow the Twilight sisters. The roots of the oak tree of the times are afraid of hardship and feel that they are not on the ground.
Are you wasting your time down there?"
"This is also the human heart." Ryan continued: "Everyone must have their own goals. Since ancient times, heroes who have become Holy Grail Knights are not even afraid of death. So why would he obey you, fear you, and worship you? Because of you
Is it Devon Hill? No, it’s just because you are my son, the direct grandson of the Emperor! There will be a day when you leave my wings. What will you do then? Kill if you don’t obey? Are they not even afraid of death? Are you
Can we kill them twice?"
Devin Hill was stunned.
"If you can't even kill the old king, then why do you become the new king?" Ryan bared his teeth: "There is a wall of kings in front of you that is so powerful that you don't know how to surpass it, and you just give up? Then you
It’s better to give up as soon as possible and find someone else.”
"I didn't!" the youngest son finally yelled angrily: "Just wait, Dad, I will surpass you! Just wait!"
"Then, I'm looking forward to it." Ryan laughed loudly, swung his riding crop, and signaled Grape II to enter the city quickly.
"Wait a minute, Dad, I have a question!" After Devon Hill finished yelling, he immediately felt that he was at a disadvantage. His son gritted his teeth and was unconvinced, thinking that he would always have to regain some ground.
"Say." Ryan laughed loudly, how could it be so fun to train his son?
"You let your mother wear stockings to show you all day long. Is this also the realization of your self-worth?" Devon Hill deliberately shouted loudly: "The father who repeatedly realizes his self-worth all day long? The great Sun King?"
Devonshire's voice was a bit loud. The Old Guards and the group of Gloria witches next to him all heard the baron's words. The men all showed teasing expressions of "I understand", while the witches laughed and laughed.
After all, Ryan's hobby is no secret in the Brittanian court.
Son of a bear! Ryan's body tilted and he gritted his teeth, thinking you did a good job!
Tomorrow you go to the Young Guards and watch Kalad treat you!
Without stopping, Len entered Bogenhafen himself.
The plague five have been waiting in the city for a long time.
They have a huge secret about the town to tell Lane.
