Chapter four hundred and seventy-six Boderick's help
A hippogryph fell from the sky, and the World Eater Primarch returned to Zeon town with a full load of goods. He held a gold-plated business card in his arms, which was the business card of a bounty hunter.
After the war, Brenner persuaded Angron, who was planning to go up and kill. The bounty hunter said that joining this war would not only be of no benefit, but also very dangerous, and would also lead to a series of problems in the future. Scar
Weratmen are famous for being good at revenge. You don’t want to cause trouble to Earl Lane, do you?
Brenner talked dryly for five minutes. Fortunately, Angron listened to the last words. Angron felt that it was not a problem before, but now he can rarely live the good life he wants because of his
Causing trouble to Ryan recklessly is really not what he wants to see.
So Angron chose to take out a towel and rush forward with his face covered. With Brenna's stunned expression, he slaughtered the entire Storm Rat Army, tore the two Storm Rats in half, and by the way, killed the scum on the Storm Rat's body.
The head of Warlord Cavan was taken.
The former demon primarch, the Daemon Prince of Khorne, took advantage of the fact that the Rats were leaderless and fell into the chaos of fighting for the position of warlord. Angron used the blood of the Ratmen to draw a less than standard "U"-shaped pattern, and then signaled
Bounty hunter retreats quickly.
After returning to Tyrell and receiving the bounty, Brenner kept his word and gave Angron a reward of three hundred gold crowns and handed Angron his business card, on which he wrote where he could be in the future.
After contacting Tilea's strongest bounty hunter, the two parted ways.
"Where's Ryan? I brought some Tyrell specialties." Angron approached the winery with many gifts, but found that more than a hundred fully armed Poseidon knights came near the winery, and Luo Jia was approaching.
As these Poseidon knights peddled the drinks they made: "Ryan is having a meeting inside, Angron, would you like to try the drink I made? It's full of the taste of loyalty!"
It was a strangely colored drink made by Luo Jia using fruit juice, vegetables and wine. They were blood red, dark blue, dark green and pink purple, but judging from the expressions of the Poseidon Knights, it seemed to taste good.
"The taste of loyalty?" When Angron heard that something happened to Ryan, he stopped and looked at the drink made by Luo Jia.
"The drink of the Black Legion was chosen by Abaddon himself! Drink it and you will become the Warmaster! Hey, April Fool's Day, just a joke, don't take it seriously." Luo Jia seemed quite proud of his work, he whispered
Fu'er said: "I made four flavors, the skull of Khorne, the bird's head of Tzeentch, the soup of Nurgle, and the seeds of Slaanesh."
"It doesn't sound like a good choice." The relationship between Angron and Luo Jia was only established after the Great Rebellion. They belong to the kind of people who are in the same circle. After listening to Luo Jia's recommendation, Angron's face turned pale.
So pretty.
"Just think you were cheated by me, give it a try, I guarantee you won't regret it." Luo Jia encouraged Angron: "It's definitely worth every penny."
"Okay, then...Khorne Skull Smell." Angron pointed at one.
There were bubbles in the blood-red turbid liquid. Luo Jia poured a full glass from the glass bottle: "Please."
Angron took the glass and drank it in one gulp.
Spicy! So spicy! The drink in your mouth was sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, extremely pungent and the taste of spirits made Angron squint his eyes, but the taste of tomato juice lingering in his mouth and the unique taste of vodka
The slightly spicy and smooth feeling made him let out a sigh of relief, and the stimulating taste of the drink rippled on his tongue and lips: "This tastes really good."
"Really? I added tomato juice, chili pepper, pepper and vodka, and then added a little lemon and celery juice~" Luo Jia said to Angron very proudly: "It turns out that the effect is good."
"interesting."
A new wine sales meeting was being held outside the winery. Inside the manor, Duke Bordero, Bodrick, was sitting opposite Ryan. The Poseidon Duke had a dark complexion. He picked up the wine glass and drank the full glass of red wine in one gulp:
"I heard that you are also planning to go to Estalia, can you do me a favor by the way?"
Ryan did plan to go to Estalia soon, and Duke Bodrick didn't know when he learned the news.
"The Poseidon Trident is an heirloom of your Duke Bordero's family. Why was it stolen?" Ryan asked doubtfully.
"A group of rogue knights dug up our family's tomb and stole the Trident of Poseidon that I placed in the tomb." Boderick, Duke of Bordeaux, said with hatred: "I have investigated clearly and found nothing.
No doubt, the other party is the bandits of Estalia. The hatred between us has a long history. This is an organized and premeditated action."
Ryan began to listen carefully to Duke Bodrick's account of the grudges between the Bordero family and Estalia.
Estalia is a country that borders Britannia to the north, Tilea to the east across the sea, and the Nicohara Desert to the south across the ocean. This country is composed of seven autonomous city-states.
, and has never been unified. Its total area is the same as that of Britannia, its population is about five million, and its flag is red, yellow, and red, with the heraldry of a white lion printed on it.
The first contact between Britannia and Estalia was the famous "Red Flame Expedition" (also known as the Holy War of Arabi). Almost more than five hundred years ago, the country of Arabi was located in the desert.
Araby completed the unification under the leadership of the famous Sultan King Jafar and invaded Estalia. This ancient human country was almost destroyed for a time. Araby's desert cavalry did not abide by the conventions between humans at all.
Kill people on sight.
This attracted the attention and great indignation of the Empire and Britannia. The Emperor of the Empire and the Knight King of Britannia announced an alliance and joined forces with Tyrell to establish an expeditionary force composed of dozens of knights and tens of thousands of knights.
, this expeditionary force not only liberated the entire Estalia mainland
, and even landed directly across the ocean in Arabi. After more than ten years of arduous expedition, the expeditionary force captured an astonishing amount of gold from Arabi (filled with dozens of ships), and even beheaded King Jaffa of Arabi.
His head brought huge wealth and endless glory back to the old world.
However, the Estalians who were saved were not very grateful. On the contrary, they were jealous of the huge wealth obtained by the Kingdom of Knights and the Empire in Arabi. Therefore, border frictions and maritime disputes never stopped, because the Empire and Britannia blocked
Facing the southern invasion of the Northern Chaos and being far away from the Greenskin harassment, Estalia developed smoothly and built a powerful fleet, known as the "Invincible Fleet", which began to covet the rich land of Britannia.
Due to the incident at the Tower of Dor and the frequent attacks by barbarians from Norsca and the Northern Wasteland in the north, the Estalians judged that Britannia's navy should be weak. So they planned to attack Bordero,
First capture this rich port that makes them salivate.
Fifty years ago, the "Invincible Fleet" officially set out from Magritte, the most powerful country and recognized capital of Estalia, to attack Bordello. However, due to the ocean currents and chaotic sea wind, the attack was not successful and took three days.
It took a week to arrive in Bordello.
It was the Duke of Bordero and his Poseidon Fleet who came out to challenge. The unprepared Armada was attacked by the Poseidon Fleet, and their formation was in chaos.
During the fierce battle, Duke Bordeaux summoned the wrath of the sea god. Huge tides and waves engulfed the "Invincible Fleet" and stranded most of the ships. A large number of ships and supplies were captured by the knights, and the sailors and soldiers were captured.
The Estalians suffered a complete defeat in this battle, with no more than thirty warships returning to Magritte, and a loss of more than 20,000 troops. This country's navy has been in decline since then.
This is the grudge between Duke Bordero's family and Estalia. After investigation, Duke Bordrick learned that these rogue knights had received instructions from the Estalia people and came to steal.
Poseidon Trident.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Ryan, but Duke Bodrick knew that Ryan was planning to go to Estalia recently, so he took the initiative to come to Ryan's territory and asked him to help with this matter.
"What can I do for you? My Duke?" Ryan nodded, indicating that he understood. The Earl crossed his arms. Obviously, Duke Bodrick could not have come specifically to teach him. Now it is time to negotiate terms.
"According to the investigation by my men, this group of rogue knights has established a stronghold in the forest near the Principality of Bilibali. However, I currently cannot know their specific location. I need you to help me investigate, and then
Report the movements of these rogue knights to me." Duke Bodrick whispered: "Feedmund and I need your help, Ryan."
"But..." Ryan hesitated, and the Duke immediately raised his hand to listen to him first: "Lian, you know, Estalia is a country and Bilibali is an independent principality. If my army
Driving directly into the land of Estalia is equivalent to Britannia declaring war on the several city-states that make up Estalia!"
Ryan's face became serious. Indeed, sending a large number of troops into another country's territory without the permission of the lord is tantamount to declaring war: "So your plan is to ask me to deal with a group of rogue knights and recapture the Poseidon Trident? This is too much.
Crazy.”
"No, I won't be so harsh on you." Duke Bodrick shook his head: "But I hope to borrow your power, and I hope you can guide Fedmund more. His bravery and virtue are beyond doubt, but
As my heir, he is still too young. You can teach him more. This is what I hope. As the lady’s chosen champion and a model of chivalry, your words are more convincing than me, a father, on some things.
force."
"I will allocate you a small team of the most elite knights, and you are responsible for taking them to find out the situation." Duke Bordeaux said in a low voice: "I and the Poseidon Knights will be waiting on the high seas. Once you investigate,
Regarding the whereabouts of the Trident of Poseidon, our army marched directly into Estalia to seize the artifact passed down by my family, and then immediately retreated before the country could react."
"Isn't this also a declaration of war?" Ryan complained.
"No, as long as I say hello, land in a short time, and retreat immediately after taking back the Poseidon Trident, the Estalians will not have the guts to declare war on me." Duke Bodrick was extremely confident in this: "Unless
This Estalian armada wants to be destroyed again."
Well, you have big fists and you speak. Ryan had no choice but to nod his head. Indeed, due to the special geographical location of Estalia, the country's military strength is really not very good. After the destruction of the Armada, Estalia
How could Asia's army be a match for the Brittanian knights?
"So what can I get?" When the time came to make terms, Ryan asked with a smile.
"Two thousand gold crowns and the friendship of our ducal family." Bodrick's blue eyes were full of sincerity: "And my support."
"I think this condition is too general." Ryan shook his head: "I do want to go to Estalia, but I think that as an excellent Holy Grail Knight, Fedmund can solve the problem by himself..."
"My support includes but is not limited to your future attacks on Mousilon and your stance on the king selection." Duke Bodrick began to increase his support.
"There are also shared trade routes. I need to share part of your family's trade routes with Arabi and Lustria. Of course, follow the rules." Ryan continued to increase the pressure. Sharing trade routes will open up the Ashes Army established by him and Fulgrim.
Ocean trade, this is a trade road paved with gold.
"Okay." Duke Bodrick nodded.
"Then...it's a deal. I'll finish handling the matters in the territory and leave the day after tomorrow." Ryan nodded: "I also need to find a few people to go with me."
"My son Fedmund will be waiting for you to set off at the Mannann dry dock in Bordero with fifty Poseidon knights."
After negotiating the terms, Duke Bodrick left in a hurry.
"Lian, what are Bo Derek doing here?" Not long after Duke Bo Derek left, Sulia came in from the door, and the Countess walked over to Ryan and sat down.
"Well, I was going to Estalia to help out." Ryan nodded.
He himself is indeed going to Estalia after the spring plowing. This has nothing to do with the Duke of Bordeaux's family, but has something to do with Lilith, the fairy of the lake.
Lilith, the moon goddess of the high elves, once possessed three artifacts, each of which could determine the survival of a race.
The Crown of Lilith, this artifact was destroyed during the Witch King Malekith's attack on Ulthuan and was broken into many fragments. Teclis and the Magister Council are working hard to recollect the fragments and recast it.
Lilith's Staff of the Moon, this staff is in the hands of the Supreme Mage Teclis of the White Tower Magister Council of Savrihos, the high elf.
The third item is the Sunfire Talisman, an artifact that resists the corruption of Chaos and can summon the fire of heaven to burn everything.
The Sunfire Talisman was lost during the reign of the Phoenix King "Reckless King" Morvel. Morvel gave it to his son, the elf prince Alavel, to go to sea. As a result, Alavel was defeated and killed, and the Sunfire Talisman disappeared on the sea.
And Ryan got the news that the Sunfire Talisman seemed to have been obtained by the merchants of Estalia and was brought back to Magritte as a sacred object of the war goddess Myrmidia. He immediately obtained it as the divinely chosen champion of the Lake Fairy.
To get the oracle, that is to take back the Sunfire Amulet!
Lidya Su also knew that Ryan would definitely make this trip. The female knight just said with some complaints: "Bo Derek really knows how to find opportunities."
"It's not a big deal." Ryan shook his head. He took his wife's hand and said, "This time it's not a big deal. Just sit in charge of the territory. Your management is indispensable here."
"Who do you plan to take with you?" Lidya Su asked the question that interested her most.
"I plan to take Veronica and Olika with me, as well as Alfred." Ryan made a list in his mind. The number of people accompanying him this time should not be too many, and they should be elite enough. Veronica is the best.
Good at investigating and participating in various social activities, Orica is proficient in interrogation and various dark magics, Alfred is decent enough, and the Templars can easily make people believe that they are here for fun, and the Church of Justice behind the Templars
It will also make people from these southern countries feel afraid.
"Well, Ms. Teresa's wizard tower is in a critical period for acceptance, and she really doesn't have time to go with you." The female knight accepted Ryan's opinion, but she was just a little resentful: "Come back early..."
Emilia already has one, but as a wife, she still...
"You can set off with your people the day after tomorrow, but you have to come with me tonight. This is also the lady's oracle." Sulia's face turned red. She wanted an heir, very much!
