After the dinner, Emilia, Teresa, and Aurora went to the private bar of the Royal Hotel to have a few drinks. Since all the imperial guests had left, and no new guests had checked in recently, the entire Corona was there.
Busy preparing supplies, the famous private bar of the Royal Hotel seemed a little empty, but this was in line with the wishes of Emilia and others, they hated noisy.
"How are the arrangements for today's dinner?" Emilia sat elegantly across from Aurora and Theresa. The Imperial Countess said with a smile: "I hope the food prepared by my palace chef will meet your taste.
"
"Thank you, I'm very satisfied."
"You're going to spoil our stomachs, Your Majesty."
Teresa and Aurora both replied in the affirmative, and Emilia smiled. The three of them each ordered a cocktail and sat down to chat. There was only one bartender and one waiter in the private bar, and the lights were dim.
Follow the three people here.
The chat was relatively simple, in which Aurora talked about the politics of the empire, various entertainment activities in Emilia's court, and about the famous "Graveyard Rose" and "The Black Lady of Nur", the great wizard of the Death Sanctuary, Elspeth.
- Von Drakken is very interested, but Emilia herself doesn’t know much about the black lady, and Nuer has some internal matters in the palace that Emilia obviously can’t reveal casually, so there isn’t much.
You can talk.
On the other hand, Theresa and Amelia talked a lot. Unlike Aurora, Theresa actually wanted to go on an expedition with Ryan: "Your Excellency, I heard that you plan to go on an expedition with Ryan?"
"Just call me Emilia, just like before." Emilia replied casually, and the countess's face sounded a little careless: "I will just follow him to Bordeaux to see him off, and then
We will return to Nuer by boat, but Ms. Teresa, didn’t you go with Ryan this time?”
"No, the climate in the Badlands is not suitable for the use of ice magic." Teresa sounded a little regretful: "So Ryan felt that I was not suitable. I discussed it with my mother and felt that I should use my own strength.
Strengths, it is better to avoid your shortcomings.”
"Eh~ That's it." Emilia still maintains her graceful and luxurious demeanor. Her mature makeup and gold and silver outfit make it difficult to connect the innocent little maid with her. Empire
The Countess seemed to understand, but she was a little disapproving in her heart.
This is Teresa's character flaw. As a eldest lady, she rarely takes the initiative to fight for it. She is relatively easy to be satisfied and does not like to face difficulties. Emilia doesn't know that Aurora has given Teresa this aspect.
It has caused some impact, but it should be more or less. In fact, from Emilia's point of view, the Bafeng Mountain is far away this time.
The Conquest is an unprecedented and grand battle, and it is also an epic that stakes the fate of the Knight Kingdom. So what if Theresa and Aurora are not suitable to fight in a bad place? They should still take the initiative to participate, which will give Ryan
Leave a good impression, even if Ryan may refuse in the end, the favor has been earned.
From Emilia's point of view, the mother and daughter's decision not to participate in the war this time was not a wise one.
Of course, everyone has character flaws, and Emilia had no intention of reminding Aurora and Theresa that she would not do such useless things, so the Imperial Baroness calmly changed the topic from the expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains
Moving away, Emilia stretched out her hands to push her long golden hair behind her ears, stretched out a jade hand covered with gold and silver jewelry to gently support her chin, and the aura of the Imperial Baroness came to her face:
"Since you didn't follow Ryan on the expedition, what are your plans next?"
"Well, next..." Aurora and Teresa looked at each other. It was not convenient to talk about MI7 matters. Teresa took the initiative and said: "I am going to retreat again and try to find a way to attack the sanctuary. As for the
According to my mother, she plans to gradually move some of the witches to Britannia, and we will establish branches in Mousilon and many other places."
The topic once again came to an area that Emilia was not good at. After chatting for a while, Emilia really couldn’t understand those magic terms, so the Imperial Baroness found an opportunity to interrupt Theresa’s description,
She clapped her hands, and the maid immediately presented two gift boxes: "Ms. Teresa, Ms. Aurora, this is a little bit of my heart. I hope you will like it, open it and take a look!"
"This is..." Teresa and Aurora opened the gift boxes one after another, and both mother and daughter's eyes lit up.
"These are high-end forged stockings from Wolford, a brand co-founded by sister Sulia and I. They are not only ultra-thin and elastic, but also extremely skin-friendly and silky smooth. The toes are also transparently processed!" Amy
Leah said with a smile: "This is the latest product, given to you. There are five pairs in a box, each in five colors."
"Thank you!" Teresa and Aurora were both a little excited. The Wolford stockings co-founded by Sulia and Amelia are real luxuries in the upper class of mankind, and are limited-purchase items that ordinary nobles have no chance to buy!
Fortunately for Teresa, the sorceress usually doesn't like to wear stockings except when she's with Ryan, but Aurora never leaves her body with stockings. The Holy Witch had long wanted to ask, but Amelia actually gave them to her.
Coming to your door!
"This kind of workmanship is so thin, it's easy to snag, right?" Teresa asked a little embarrassed: "Thank you very much, I'm a little reluctant to wear it, for fear of getting it damaged."
"This is not meant to be worn outside." Emilia said to Theresa with some ill intentions: "You know when to wear it, Ms. Theresa, but unfortunately Ryan is about to go on an expedition."
"Well!" Teresa's face suddenly turned red: "I...get it."
"Hmph, that dead man..." Aurora looked dissatisfied at the look of her daughter and changed the subject: "Thank you very much, Countess Emilia."
After chatting for a few more words, Emilia said goodbye to the sorceress and her daughter. She counted the time and felt that Ryan should have almost finished talking about the matter, so she went directly towards the palace to find Ryan.
In the corridor on the road, the Imperial Baroness met the Lake God Witch. They were exactly the same. Emilia asked the maid to get an identical gift box and gave it to Morgiana, and Morgiana accepted it naturally.
She was obviously in a good mood: "Are you here to see Ryan?"
"Does he have time?" The expression on Emilia's face was not very good. Morgiana's appearance meant that Ryan might still be unavailable.
"He is meeting with Blackheart Lepp and his deputy Durant. King Belegar is also there. They are discussing the expedition... The Empire and Britannia are now allies. You can come too." Morgiana nodded.
, she put the gift box away calmly.
"Okay." Emilia sighed softly. The Imperial Baroness can now understand the complicated feeling. She also hopes that Ryan will be as great and powerful as possible, but she also hopes that he can stop for a while and have more.
Spend your spare time with yourself and your children.
Pushing open the door of the conference room, Ryan, Belega, Sulia, Veronica, Black-hearted Repp and Juan were all looking at the big map. Black-hearted Repp was introducing the situation of the Border Prince Territory to everyone. See
When Emilia came in, Ryan just said hello to her, and then continued to listen to Black Heart Repp's account of the situation.
"The Border Prince Territory's ability to survive the greenskin threat today is almost entirely dependent on the protection of Barak-Haimen Pass." Black-Hearted Rep pointed to the map and said: "The greenskin frenzy from the Badlands can always be defeated by Barak-Haimen Pass."
A large part of it is intercepted by the Lark-Haimen Pass, but even so, no place in the Border Princely Territory can escape the threat of the greenskins. It’s just a big or small problem.”
Ryan and others all nodded. The dividing line on the map was particularly obvious. Blackwater Bay and Barak Seagate directly separated the Border Princely Territory and the Badlands in two halves. Black-hearted Rep's "Principality" Bryzka was located at Seagate.
A little bit north of Guan Pass, this mercenary leader cleverly built his principality close to Haimen Pass. He also has a unique comprador status. No wonder he can quickly get along with the border princes.
The tide is rising.
To the east of Bryzka, along the Blackwater River, is the capital of the dwarves, the Eternal Peak. Haimen Pass directly trades with the Eternal Peak through the Blackwater River.
"The defenses of Haimen Pass are impregnable, but this does not mean that there are no greenskins near Haimen Pass." Black Heart Lepp introduced his discovery: "In fact, there is an greenskin stronghold only 20 kilometers east of the Haimen Pass peaks.
, called Junku Fort.”
"Army Castle?" Ryan asked: "This name doesn't seem to come from the green skin."
"That's right, Fort Junku turned out not to be a green-skinned fortress. It turned out that this was the farthest place where the dynasties of the Nicohara Desert arrived. In order to show their power, the Tomb Kings built a fortress here." Black Heart.
Rep said this with some pride: "My sword was also found here... Ahem, and then the Emperor Sigismund II-Zheng
The conqueror had also conquered this area as far as possible. He merged the border princes into the empire and named it the province of Lichtenberg. The southernmost stronghold of the empire at that time was also Junku Castle. However, whether it was a desert dynasty or an empire,
Or it could be the brothers of the Brittanian knights who later went on an expedition to the Badlands. They all briefly occupied Castle Castle, but no one held it for a long time."
"So, if we want to rely on the power of Shanghai Gate to establish a supply line, we must capture and defend Junku Fort, right?" Sulia also studied the map: "It's so far... Bafeng Mountain is far away from Junku Fort.
There is still a long way to go.”
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen." Black-hearted Lepp said somewhat flatteringly: "Obviously you are right."
"Even if Junku Castle is captured, it is still thousands of kilometers away from Bafeng Mountain. To the southeast of Junku Castle are two large greenskin strongholds, Steel Rock and Black Rock Castle. We have good news, that is I
The scouts learned that Black Rock Castle had been destroyed in the last joint military operation between the Dwarf High King and the Iron Peak Castle dwarves. The green-skinned warlord Liquor-Gefan
, or the dwarf Gorga - Evil Guts has been beheaded, and the High King has given the head of this green-skinned warlord to the King of Iron Peak Castle, Khazadur - the Dragon Slayer, so we don't have to worry about the possible green-skinned ones in Black Rock Castle for the time being.
Reinforcements." Black-hearted Lepp then introduced: "But to be honest, there are greenskins everywhere in the Badlands, so they won't be of much help to us."
"Six hundred or seven hundred kilometers south of Steel Rock is the Gate of Wallaya, also known as Wallaya's Sad Land. This is also a green-skinned stronghold. From here, you are very close to the Eight Peaks Mountain." Black Heart Lepp.
We need to talk more, Belega has already called
Black-hearted Rep said: "We must conquer the Gate of Walaya! Here, there is a trail left by our ancestors, which leads directly to the Gate of Titan in Bafeng Mountain. And only by conquering this place can we ensure that there will be no problems with logistics.
!”
"If we can advance to the Titan Gate, then the Kingdom of Iron Peak Castle located east of Eight Peaks Mountain will respond to my call, and the rune craftsman master Thorik Ironbrow will lead his Anvil Brotherhood to support us."
Baile's bold finger pointed at the Eight Peaks Mountain: "But we must reach the door of Titan's Gate."
"This will be an extremely difficult battle." Ryan crossed his arms: "An attack of thousands of kilometers cannot be completed in a short time. I can be sure that when we gradually approach Bafeng Mountain, no matter whether it is the green on the surface
Whether it’s the skin or the rat people underground, they will definitely be ready to welcome our arrival.”
"That's right! This is an excellent opportunity to erase hatred! Quick! Skarsnik! Just wait, I, Belegar, will avenge my people!" Belegar's voice was filled with deep-seated hatred.
: "In the end, the Eight Peaks Mountain will be restored! The glorious history of the Angland clan will open a new chapter!"
"Only the heads and blood of greenskins and ratmen can wash away shame! It's time to settle old scores!"
…………I am the dividing line of reminiscing about the small book…………
Ten days later, the old world, Britannia, Bodryux, the capital of the Principality of Bordeleaux.
Now, the whole city is in a crazy atmosphere. Thousands of knights and their attendants have gathered in this city, with their endless fanaticism for war and their indifference to the goddess.
The pious people from above gathered here under the order of the new king.
There was a roar and a roar, and the knights of Britannia came tirelessly from every corner of the kingdom. Every knight with a chivalrous spirit heard the call of the king, which came from the will of the goddess.
It is the sense of glory that comes from the depth of blood. The great holy war of chivalry is calling the Brittanians. The knights ride on their beloved horses, take the shields with the family crest, raise their lances,
Rush to Bordero and answer Ryan's call.
Now, just above the city wall of Bodrix Castle, Ryan is wearing a crown and is fully armed. The king is smiling and looking down from the city wall. The colorful torrent of steel composed of knights is marching towards the city gate.
, a uniform formation, tens of thousands of faces raised their heads, looking up at the king, it was a dotted chessboard, a sea of lances and armor, telling the ancient glory and powerful power of Britannia.
Above the sky, the Pegasus knights soared and landed in the sky. The family crests and emblems composed of indigo, crimson, sable, silver and iris gold were clearly visible, as well as the large group of infantry regiments and the infantry attendants.
They lined up in a solemn queue, waiting for the king's review.
Listen to the sound of the bells of the Chinon River, and the war songs of the cavalry resound across the mountains and seas.
Knights wish to be the sword and shield of the mortal world forever.
Even if the gates of heaven are no longer open to them.
