Chapter 117, Discuss Reinforcements
Ryan checked Olika's body, and he found something different.
A mysterious mark is carved into the dark elf's soul, and it is this mark that attracts the attention of the satyr.
"This is the imprint of the Hedonism Sect! The Hedonism Sect's corruption has also appeared in the high elves!" Ryan immediately thought of the Hedonism Sect, and this sect that believes in Slaanesh will leave this mark.
This shows that the high elves who poisoned Olika were also worshipers of Slaanesh.
"...Asur thinks that Drucci is corrupt and depraved all day long, but who doesn't know that they are not clean either!" Orika muttered to herself, but the dark elf screamed immediately, she was held down by Ryan, and then Ryan The psionic energy began to build a shield for the dark elf to protect her soul: "Olika, let go of your vigilance, let go of your fear, look, there are many boulders here..."
"No! His eyes, he has been watching me!" Olika said in pain, the spirit of the dark elf struggled desperately, trying to avoid the eyes of the evil god.
"Calm down, Olika, it's too bright and orderly here, with these boulders guarding you, He can't find you anymore! Calm down, take a closer look, He can't see you anymore." Ryan forcefully Suppressing the dark elf, he kept repeating, using his psychic power to give Orika a hint: "He can't find you."
"Yes, yes, he can't find me, he can't find me." Olika could really feel the sight of the evil god going away, and she tried to look for the dark elf again, but couldn't find anything .
Olika slumped on the sofa, she was already sweating profusely, and the dark elf looked at Ryan with complicated eyes. She couldn't understand why the human being in front of her was so powerful, and she couldn't understand why he wanted to help her, but she knew that she now He has no choice but to rely on the protection of this human being, otherwise once he removes the protection, he will become the food coveted by Slaanesh again.
Due to the great mental shock, the dark elf gradually lost consciousness and passed out.
"Did it work? Mr. Ryan?" Emilia approached curiously.
"Well, there should be no problem in this case, but just out of caution, she should sleep in the same room with me for a while, and I want to see if she is still threatened by the evil god." Ryan hugged Olika Get up and send it to Emilia: "Take her to wash it up!"
Emilia and Miranda sent Olika into the bathtub to take a good bath, and then sent the weak dark elf into Ryan's room. Olika was powerless to resist, so she had to be replaced obediently Wearing a nightgown, he was carried into Ryan's room, and two maids prepared a new bedding on the sofa in Ryan's room.
Olika wrapped herself tightly in a quilt,
Only showing a beautiful delicate face and silky waist-length black long hair, she is always on guard against Ryan.
It's just that Ryan didn't do anything. He leaned on the bed and read the book, and then took out the parchment to write and draw from time to time. After maintaining this situation for a while, he noticed Olika's situation: "What's the matter?" ? Orika?"
"Human... why did you save me?" the dark elf said vigilantly.
"You are my property, if I don't save you, who will I save?" Ryan complained helplessly: "Also, call the master!"
The expression on Olika's face was uncertain, and the dark elf stared at him for a long time. After weighing it in his heart for a long time, he made a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Master."
really! Ryan nodded in his heart, the difference between dark elves and high elves is here.
If the opponent is a high spirit, she may never give in for the rest of her life, and will resist Ryan to the end, because the high spirit thinks that other than herself and the magic toad Slan, any race is inferior.
But the dark elves are different, the weak eat the strong, and the winner is king. As long as they show enough strength, the dark elves don't mind being the vassal of the strong.
The premise is that Ryan must be strong enough, so strong that the dark elf in front of him cannot resist.
Lane did it.
"Is there a Hedonism sect among the high elves?" After thinking for a while, Ryan began to ask.
The three spirits are actually not good birds, Ryan knows this well. The high spirits are arrogant, the dark spirits are bloodthirsty, and the wood spirits are absolutely isolated. In order to keep them isolated, the wood spirits can kill anyone.
"...Do you think the high elves are pure and flawless high-level creatures?" The dark elf finally spoke, she looked at Ryan's curious look, and replied with hatred: "Asur is not as noble and flawless as humans imagined, the elves Their souls are the most precious, and they are coveted by evil gods all the time."
"Druzzi's method is to please our gods. We use blood and killing, as well as Queen Morasi's various sacrifice ceremonies to prevent our souls from being swallowed..." Orika murmured, and then talked about The high elves, her face showed hatred and contempt: "The group of Asurs allowed the hedonism sect to spread in society, they polluted the holy flame of Asuryan, and stole the Phoenix King's flame by cheating. bit."
"Why do you say it is stealing? Didn't the Phoenix Kings of all generations pass the test of Asuryan's holy fire before they could transform into Phoenix Kings?" Ryan said to Olika.
"They used despicable means!" After saying this, Orika was unwilling to say any more.
Seeing this, Ryan didn't force her. This night, after a long time, the dark elves finally enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep, dreaming darkly and sweetly until dawn.
For the next few days, Orika slept in Ryan's room, and Ryan really didn't do anything to her.
Because the negotiations on Marienburg have finally made some progress.
The diplomats of the empire and the great nobles of Marienburg had a difficult, long and penny-pinching wrangling, and the two sides were so detailed that every gold coin had to be entangled endlessly.
The empire is constantly putting pressure on them. They know the details of Marienburg. Marienburg, which has a huge gap in hard power, can neither fight against the green skins alone, nor can it withstand the pressure of the empire, especially after the high elves refused to express their opinions. , Marienburg even lost support in the negotiations.
However, the representatives of Marienburg also acted like rogues. They said to the empire that at worst, you withdraw your troops. We face the green army alone. At worst, the whole city will be reduced to ashes. Let's see how your empire will explain to all citizens and take back Marienburg. What's the value.
This is already a rogue lying on the ground, but taking back a piece of ruins does not have much meaning to the empire, which is not in line with the interests of the empire, and the diplomats of the empire have nothing to do with Fort Marien.
So they broke up again.
However, as the scouts reported that the number of greenskins in the Jinte Mine was approaching 20,000, the nobles in Marienburg finally began to waver, and the empire also knew that this delay was not an option, so the two sides returned to the negotiating table and finally reached an agreement. Some consensus.
So one morning in late February, Ryan followed Ivan to the street.
It has just snowed in the morning, but in late February, the footsteps of winter are fading away, and the footsteps of spring are coming.
"Has the negotiation finally come to fruition, Ivan?" Ryan asked straight to the point when Ivan asked him to come out.
"Well, we barely reached an agreement on one content, and that is about the trade deficit." The Duke of Griffin nodded: "A large part of Marienburg's annual arms purchases will be directly ordered from the arsenal of the Empire Nur , and some of the goods from Ulthuan and Lustria traded in Marienburg will be sold directly to the empire at market prices every year."
Ryan touched his chin, and he thought it was so.
This is already a big concession for Marienburg, but Ryan is not surprised by this result.
Because the nobles of Marienburg are a new bourgeoisie, they rely on trade and developed commerce, they rely on absorbing the blood of other countries, and extracting the wealth of the low-level people to prosper.
In short, these aristocrats lack faith and lack sufficient will. Facing the green skins, they lack the determination to fight to the death and finally break the jade. In the end, they will inevitably compromise. This is the weakness of the bourgeoisie.
Albert Baker, Earl of Mjordenhaven, could desperately fight the barbarian army to the death, but it was absolutely impossible to put it here in Marienburg.
"So the Nuer Armored Army will also participate in this battle?" Ryan asked curiously.
Nur, the southern important town of the empire, is located at the junction of three rivers and the hub of transportation on all sides. It is the holy place where Ludwig raised his troops. It has the largest arsenal in the empire and the most elite gunpowder troops in the empire. Nur was originally the electorate of Brescia. However, after the Great Holy War, Ludwig believed that this southern important town must be controlled by the emperor himself. Since then, Nur and the surrounding lands have been merged into the Reikland, and it has played a vital role as the direct leader of the emperor. role.
"It depends on how the next discussion goes, but... some things need to be prepared in advance, otherwise the time may be a little tight." The Duke of Griffin took out a roll of parchment, and Ryan found that the emperor's seal was actually printed on it :"this is?"
"We have to go out of the city to fight the greenskins, so we need enough knights. Unfortunately, the Rick guards can't be dispatched. The Knights of the Sun are on a mission. The knights of the Moor Knights will guard the Moor Garden in winter, so... ..." Ivan was a little helpless: "Next is spring plowing, so we need reinforcements from the opposite side of the Gray Mountains. If nothing happens, Ryan, you will see your old friend this time."
"So..." Sure enough, the two of them stopped in front of the Saintess Order.
"Go and call the door, the God-Chosen Champion of the Ladies of the Lake." Ivan pointed to his godson and motioned him to call the door.
"...I knew it would be like this." Ryan reluctantly took the initiative to call the door, and his identity was particularly useful at this moment.
Thus, the letter with the seal of the emperor of the empire traveled hundreds of miles to the other side of the gray mountains through the power of magic. This is a rich and peaceful land. Large-scale settlement and prosperity, and finally formed the knight kingdom of Britannia.
Britannia, the capital of the Kingdom of Knights, Korona.
The Krona Palace is the heart of the knight kingdom, the place where the knight kings of all ages were crowned. Except for the first knight king Arthur and the previously mentioned knight king Taylor Buddha, all the knight kings were crowned here.
The top of the palace is crowned with a large number of small towers, while the walls are decorated with pointed arch windows, graceful reliefs and cornices, and stone carvings on the windows with lace, passing through the grand palace corridors, groups of relief buildings and glass Decorated with luxurious palaces, its messy colors and patterns, and overly complicated details will make knights who come to the palace for the first time feel dizzy.
Passing through the deep central part of the palace, you will soon arrive at the central hall, which is the place where the king's election meeting and knight assembly have been held throughout the history. The upper four walls of the hall are made of stained glass and six murals reflecting religious meaning, knight style and legal significance Decorated by the earliest portraits of the Twelve Knights of the Holy Grail, it tells the history of the greatness of the late kings.
Behind the central hall is the king's office, and the king's throne is covered with red velvet and decorated with gold and diamonds.
The current Knight King "Tiger" Dinoir-Jean-Richard sits on the throne.
The King of Knights is very old. Compared with the Emperor Karl Franz, who is only in his early thirties, Richard is already more than a hundred years old. His former mighty face has become old and wrinkled unconsciously. Climbing up his cheeks, the black hair became grizzled, and the clear eyes gradually clouded. Even with the strength of the legendary level, Richard has reached the age of old age.
But he had to struggle to see the paperwork on the table, because he had a lot to do.
Since the Tower of Dole incident, Britannia's national power has been declining day by day, and there are many conflicts between the dukes who have lost trust with each other. After the death of the Knight King Taylor, the successor kings John I and John II are both brutal. People, the national strength of the Knight Kingdom is getting worse, especially John II. In order to seek the Duke's support for his continuous aggressive wars, he even delegated the powers such as formulating tariffs, minting coins and fortifications to the Dukes.
So twenty-four years ago, John II was overthrown by the witch of the lake and the dukes. There was another election meeting, and the dukes chose Dinoa the Tiger, Duke of Angoulang, who had the highest popularity and chivalry. Jean-Richard.
The Duke of Angoulang was already over eighty years old at the time, and he was not particularly outstanding in terms of strength. He had failed two Holy Grail trials and was still only a mission knight. His former bravery and courage had gradually faded away. He has become stubborn and radical, and his internal affairs ability can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, and he has not fought a war for many years.
However, the dukes and the witch of the lake still chose him. This is because Richard is a good man. The Duke's interests remain unimpaired.
So he sat on the throne until today.
Of course Richard was not willing to be a puppet. Since his coronation, the King of Knights has used many means to centralize power. The most effective is his daughter marrying the Duke of Lyonnaise, and then he let his son Charles marry Montenegro. The granddaughter of the Duke of Ford, through marriage politics, he guaranteed the stability of the northern part of the kingdom. Only the most powerful Duke of Connecticut in the north, the "righteous" Louis, did not buy into the account of the King of Knights.
Then, he imposed a fixed military tax on all the dukes in the kingdom by declaring the "War of Chivalry". Bankrupt kingdom finances.
Next, he planned to lead the knights to launch a counterattack against the Beastman tribe entrenched in the forest, but when the king was still thinking about how to arrange his troops and seek the support of the dukes, his thoughts were interrupted by the hurried steps of the courtiers.
