Chapter eight hundred and thirty seventh ironclad ship naming
In mid-April of the Imperial Calendar 2513, spring has arrived. Spring plowing is being carried out solemnly in various parts of Britannia. The serfs are working hard in the fields. Their harvest must be paid tithes to the Fairy of the Lake and to the Lord Knight.
They pay the shield tax and maintain their family's livelihood.
The spring was shining brightly, and the entire Principality of Mousilon finally returned to its former peace. Here, the former imperial people, locals of Mousilon, Lyonnais and the newly immigrated Mrs. Keesler gathered together to tell ancient stories.
, the whole city seems a little empty, but because of this, this city is full of opportunities.
There are many ancient rumors that Musilon, as the first Holy Grail Knight, the perfect chivalry Landuin and his son Laroche once buried an astonishing number of treasures deep underground in Musilon, and in
After Knight King Lane regained Musilon, he publicly announced that all expedition teams from the old world would be allowed to explore underground in Musilon.
This triggered a huge craze for exploration, and the first people to respond were the knights errant in the kingdom. The knights errant in Britannia were particularly reckless and very happy, because every year they came of age, they received information from other lords and elders.
There are a lot of Spurs knights-errant, and they especially need meritorious deeds to highlight their strength and glory, so as to gain promotion to the realm of knights.
The knights errant first formed a team to explore underground in Mousilon. They encountered many enemies underground, including a small number of remnants of the undead, including some mutant monsters born in the centuries-old history of corruption in Mousilon, and Skaven.
Some of the lairs built by the Skaven beneath Mousilon.
For this reason, the knights errant also suffered a lot of casualties, but they also reaped huge rewards. They soon encountered several necromancers and small Skaven clan warlords who were trying to hide underground in Mousilon. This time the military
The action attracted the participation of the expedition knights.
In the end, an expeditionary knight named Tibalt met the heroic spirit of Duke Laroche deep underground. The former Duke of Mousilon guided Tibalt to the deep underground of Mousilon.
An artifact was found in an ancient shrine.
Laroche's Blessed Silver Cross Helmet.
Relying on this silver helmet, Tybalt defeated the Necromancer, and in the long battle, he was finally recognized by the Fairy of the Lake and became a Knight of the Holy Grail.
Tybalt's success made the knights of the kingdom go crazy. Soon, Mousilon became a holy place for adventure. Many knights hoped to be promoted in this way, which triggered an adventure craze.
Many treasures and relics have also been unearthed, and the exploration of the Musilon underground has even attracted empire and dwarf adventure groups.
However, what no one knows is that this is actually a scene performed by Ryan and the Lady of the Lake.
Hundreds of years later, through the wave of folk hysteria triggered by Ryan's reforms, the power of the Lake Fairy has reached its highest peak in hundreds of years. This is reflected in the fact that she can now grant more expeditionary knights the glory of the Holy Grail, and can
To create and bless more equipment, weapons and holy water, the appearance of the heroic spirit of Laroche is also the order of the Fairy of the Lake.
The purpose is, firstly, to use this low-cost method to deal with the undead, Skaven and the remnant forces of Chaos who play hide-and-seek and hide-and-seek all day long underground in Mousilon; secondly, to attract visitors through large-scale publicity.
Let Musilon's economy recover quickly.
Every few months, the fairy in the lake will drop one or two things with her blessing into the underground of Musilon, either weapons, equipment talismans, holy water or other things, and every time she finds
, the knights will praise the lady crazily, and then more people will come.
In the palace of Musilon, in the drizzle, Ryan and Sulia were sitting in the courtyard, enjoying the leisure time of afternoon tea. Olica and Sylvia were waiting for the king and queen respectively.
Survived by, among others, Earl Hex of Devon and his wife, Biocari
The great baron Juan and his wife, the Merovingian baron Armand and his wife, the commander-in-chief of the Old Guard Bertrand and his wife, and the deputy commander-in-chief Davout were all present. Ryan also called Beria and his maid Huo.
Erkina, everyone was enjoying afternoon tea and discussing recent events.
After Lops and Olivier were both killed in the battle, these people became Ryan's core team.
The light rain in the afternoon fell sparsely, nourishing the green grass in the courtyard of the Musilon Palace, dyeing the land dark green and the bricks gray. There was a fresh and sweet smell in the air, Ryan
Sitting slightly relaxed on the bench, the king was dressed in casual clothes and enjoying the rain with his vassals. This kind of fine spring rain is quite sentimental.
In the courtyard, there are lush trees and flowers, and there are layers of ripples in the pool. The courtyard is not large, and even half of the area is still under construction, but this does not prevent Ryan from taking a break while the king turns his attention.
When it comes to his wife Sulia, today Sulia is wearing a light gray dress with elegant breeze fishtail from the Britannia Palace and paired with ultra-thin velvet and delicate flesh-colored pantyhose. She is the most beautiful in the audience. At this time
This king
Hou was entertaining several aristocratic ladies in a gentle and pleasant manner. Even Khorkina, who was the youngest and least polite, she was so kind and pleasant. This little beauty from Kislev was really flattered. She had never seen her before.
Such a noble aristocratic lady who had participated in a banquet of this level was instantly conquered by Mrs. Sulia. Her impolite behavior continued for a while, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Everyone saw that Ryan and Sulia didn't mind, and they all
Laugh it off.
On the men's side, everyone has a relatively harmonious relationship. Even the new Davout is treated very well. Only Beria is treated coldly because he exudes a sinister aura. But Beria
He didn't care about this, he even wanted to see this scene. He knew that the more coldly he was treated by these knights and nobles, the more Ryan would reuse him.
Picking up the tea cup, breathing in the moist air, looking at the gloomy sky and the prototype of the palace in the spring rain, Ryan asked Earl Hex of Devon: "Is there any problem with Lucien?"
"His Excellency the Marquis should have arrived in Estalia by now." Hux said respectfully: "If there are no accidents, in June this year, all three guards in Badland will be stationed and start to play their role."
"Well, the follow-up support cannot be interrupted." Ryan nodded slightly. Lucien has been named the Marquis of Badland by Ryan. He has an overview of the affairs of the Three Guards of Badland. It is composed of a small number of knight nobles who volunteered for the expedition, more than a thousand veterans, and a large number of recruits.
The army followed Lucien to the Badlands, many of them young men eager to advance and gain a future through war.
Hex, Earl of Devon, was now in his forties and had a goatee. He was a little curious why the king had shaved his beard cleanly recently, but it was obviously not important. He quickly focused his attention on
When Lucien was promoted to Marquis in one fell swoop, Hux sighed secretly. This was obviously a good promotion opportunity, but he missed it.
The problem with Hux is that he is particularly good at running the army and training troops. He can execute every order given by Ryan very well. However, if an unexpected situation occurs on the battlefield, Hux's reaction ability is not enough to let him
He is able to make quick judgments and adapt to changes, so he is not a suitable candidate to go to Badlands, and Ryan will not consider him.
"Is there any new news from the Arden Forest?" Ryan then asked Juan and Bertrand. It is difficult to clear out all the beasts and greenskins in the Arden Forest, but now the Kingdom of Knights is under Ryan's control.
Under the leadership of the powerful army, the beasts and greenskins did not dare to leave the Arden Forest too far.
"No, Your Majesty, we swept along the edge of the Arden Forest." Juan nodded: "No trace of the beastmen was found. Previously, His Excellency the Marquis of Loire Touras swept along the edge of the forest. Thanks to
The Coldstream Guards Battalion you sent to him, he destroyed two Beastman warbands."
"Well, that's what beastmen are like. Extermination consumes a lot of energy. Beastmen like to play hide-and-seek with us. But if we don't exterminate them, these bastards will attack our villages and towns, as well as farmland and livestock from time to time." Ryan
He said seriously: "We must send out troops to clean up regularly every year. Don't neglect it."
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
"Bertrand, Davout, there are quite a lot of married soldiers and officers in the Old Guard now, but everything must still be done according to the rules between me. In addition to legal holidays, we will give you two days off every ten days. At other times, we will give you two days off."
Unless there are special circumstances, you are not allowed to leave the military camp, and you are allowed a period of free movement after dinner every day before going to the gate." Ryan then ordered.
"Yes." Bertrand nodded immediately. The old Guards commander was newly married, but it only took him two weeks to return to his post. Bertrand always had a sense of urgency, and he was afraid that he would be left behind.
"According to the news from Haimen Pass, the Haimen Pass armored ship we ordered is already on its way to Britannia. Your Majesty, please give him a name." Armand did not care about this. The flag officer
A new piece of news was brought out: "According to the news from Haimen Pass, King Belegar's son Thorgren Ironhammer and the mustaches led by him are on the ship."
"Name?" Ryan became interested: "As for the name, what would be a better name? I think it would be better if we all brainstorm and discuss it together?"
"Give this armored ship a name?" Everyone was interested.
"Give this ironclad a name." Ryan repeated. The king leaned back on the armchair and looked at everyone: "This is the ironclad we ordered from the dwarves of Haimen Pass at a huge price."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They all hesitated and didn't speak. When Ryan saw this, he directly called his name: "Hex, you come first, one by one."
Earl Devon seemed a little at a loss after being named by the king. He lowered his head and thought quietly for two minutes, and then suggested: "Your Majesty, this is our first ironclad ship. In this case, we must choose a commemorative one."
For a meaningful name, how about naming it after Landuin or Laroche? Or King Lane or Queen Surya."
"The Landuin already has one, and the Sulia ship... we won't use it for the time being." Ryan glanced at his wife who was enjoying afternoon tea, and saw that Sulia had no interest in participating in this topic, so he rejected it:
“It’s such a great accomplishment to be named after myself.”
"I have no other ideas, Your Majesty." Hux quickly threw this hot potato to others.
"Juan, tell me." Ryan had no choice but to appoint Juan to speak.
"Your Majesty, I think we can name it after famous naval admirals in history, such as the Hood? Richelieu? Eldridge?" Juan said smoothly.
"Hood? Richelieu?" Ryan frowned, and the King of Knights rejected it: "These names are good, but they have been used before, so don't name them again... Armand, what do you think?"
"Why don't we just call it Arthur? How about Artoria?" The name proposed by Armand was quite satisfactory, a bit too conservative. After thinking about it for a while, Ryan still shook his head: "This one seems too big again, Armand.
This is just the first ironclad ship, the first one is called this, what about the following ones?"
Afterwards, Bertrand suggested calling him "Elizabeth", "Isabella" or "Lexington", but Ryan refused with a face full of pain.
Davout simply proposed to call them "Glory", "Unicorn" and "Lady of the Lake", but Ryan did not agree. The expression on the king's face was already tangled at this time. These people couldn't mention a more reliable one.
What?
Why do I feel like I’m on the wrong set, kora!
After thinking for a long time, Ryan finally looked at Beria: "Beria, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, how about the Aurora and the Crown Prince?" Beria was very serious. He didn't even smile the whole time: "The Borodino is also good. It was the one used by the former Tsar Boris to defeat the northern barbarians.
village."
"Hmph! This is our battleship from Britannia! How can we use Kislev's name, Beria! Please figure out which country you are from!" Hux took the initiative to reprimand Beria.
Earl Devon thought for a while and suddenly made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, the reason why we need an ironclad ship is to suppress the ocean and enhance the prestige of Britannia, right?"
"Of course." Ryan nodded.
"How about this? I have several names that fit this theme." Hex continued: "For example, Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Ningyuan, Jiyuan, Weiyuan?"
"…………"
"I'm so happy." Ryan had nothing to say. The king covered his face with his hands, leaned on the armchair, and sighed: "Then I might as well call him the Predator, the Black Legion, or the Planet Killer.
At least it won’t sink easily.”
No one had any more ideas. In the end, Ryan had no choice but to focus on his wife: "Lidya Su, do you have any good suggestions?"
"How about calling it Enterprise? Enterprise is not only a combination of business entities in business, but it can also represent a virtue. It means "enterprising" and "forging ahead bravely", which is in line with our current national situation and the victory of the Great Expedition."
Lidya Su picked up the black tea and said softly: "It also represents a good beginning."
"Very good, let's call it the Enterprise!" Ryan finally heard a reliable one. The king was more than moved. His wife was the best.
Before Ryan could finish being moved, the dark elf maid Orica came up from behind and whispered: "Master, Ms. Veronica, Ms. Aurora, Ms. Teresa sent news that they have approached Le
-The port of Angoulême.”
"Okay, I understand." Ryan nodded, and the king had already turned his attention to the next thing.
So, how to arrange the remaining forces of the Gloria Council depends on the subsequent negotiations with Veronica, Theresa and Aurora.
