Proof of the Sun King

"The Storm Fortress has been breached? Impossible, isn't Nord the northern fortresses that can last for a few months?" An elector said subconsciously.

"There are traitors, and the barbarians have found the most vulnerable place in Storm Fortress." Karl Franz's eyes brightened and his fists clenched. He set his eyes on Beckman, Archbishop of the Church of Justice, and motioned for him to speak.

"The city walls of Storm Fortress have been infested with chaos corruption during the years of defense, and have grown eyes and tentacles." Beckman said, "Under the auspices of the church, we will use flames to purify the corrupted city walls, and then rebuild them. "

"But at this time, the northern barbarians launched an attack, and they madly stormed the storm fortress regardless of the cost..." The emperor nodded: "It happened last night. This barbarian army was led by the bear tribe, and the chief was 'crushing it'. Bear 'Brigg."

"Where's Ulfric?" Roland asked. The barbarian leader was too powerful. If he landed, only King Nord could deal with him.

"Ulfric's black flagship was also blocked at sea by the Nord Navy, despite the heavy price Nord paid." Karl Franz waved his hand to indicate that Ulfric would not be able to land in a short time, so this matter is not Top priority: "The top priority is to dispatch reinforcements as soon as possible. Gentlemen of the empire, what do you think?"

"Volrich will send reinforcements quickly, and you will see more White Wolf Knights!" Manfred, the elector of Volrich, responded first, his territory is close to the Nord Kingdom, if Nord If he couldn't hold on, he was under a lot of pressure.

The other two electors who were in contact with Nord also nodded and indicated that they would send reinforcements. In addition, the other electors responded very slowly, and everyone focused their attention on the emperor.

"Nord must be rescued!" Karl Franz knew that this was what everyone was waiting for, so the Emperor finally spoke: "The wizards have long predicted the invasion of the barbarians, but no one thought that the Storm Fortress would be so fast. The land has fallen, and now that our army has been assembled, the rest of the barbarians must be eliminated before landing, and these cultists must not be allowed to pollute the territory belonging to our empire!"

"Why the great holy war started a hundred and fifty years ago must be very clear to you, one of the Chaos forces landed from Nord!" Finally, Karl Franz Friedrich said firmly: " We must not repeat the same mistakes!"

The assembly hall was quiet, and some candidates had unwilling faces, while some candidates' faces were taken for granted.

"Interesting, the Tuscan leader is willing to send reinforcements! You will see the 1st Company of Ram Knights!" Umberto shouted first.

"Aldolph is willing to send reinforcements, and the 3rd Company of Lion Knights is willing to fight to protect the country!" Roland also responded.

"The three hundred great swordsmen of Wiltz are willing to obey the emperor's orders!" These are the words of the Elector of Wiltz.

"The five hundred rangers led by Auden are ready to go, and listen to His Majesty's orders!" The Elector of Auden also responded.

"The Knights of the Golden Fleece will send the seventh detachment to support!" Philip II "Black Goat", the leader of the electorate of Bern, saw several candidates express their opinions, and he could only nod and say: "We will provide food and food for passing troops. Station!"

Soon, the vast majority of candidates responded.

Seeing other electors responding to the emperor's call, Archbishop Beckman of the Justice Church said unwillingly: "The Paladins of the Justice Church are already on their way to Nord."

The Archbishop of the Church of Life erected his scepter: "Enough priests and doctors will be in place soon, and we will also provide some rations!"

The Archbishop of the Church of Magic finally said, "A group of wizards will soon follow the army to destroy those evil shamans."

Only the elector of Brescia was left. The teenage child was almost made to cry by the terrible pressure in the parliamentary hall. He hurriedly asked the courtier behind him: "What should I do?"

"You should say that Brescia is not able to send troops now, and we are willing to pay military service tax exemption, my lord." The courtier looked more calm than the elector, but the thought of military service tax exemption, the courtier's face also had a feeling of pain in the flesh. .

This is a heavy tax.

Seeing the candidates respond in succession, a smile appeared on Karl Franz's young and valiant face. It was this spirit that made the empire continue to this day.

One race, one nation, one faith, established the human empire.

With such a strong will and firm belief, the human empire will never perish.

After the meeting, Karl Franz came out of the parliamentary hall, and before he had time to sit down, the attendant quickly approached: "Your Majesty, the great wizard Bershazer-Gelter asks to see you."

"Call him in."

"Yes."

Soon, with the sound of very heavy footsteps, a "human" wearing a luminous magic cloak, a shining golden robe and a golden mask walked in: "Your Majesty!"

Karl Franz stared at the figure of the visitor. He suspected more than once that the wizard in front of him was no longer human.

However, he has to repeatedly entrust him with important tasks, because Bershaze-Gelter is so good.

A few years after he came to the Empire, he became the highest alchemist of the Empire. He improved the formula of black powder, which greatly eased the contradiction and hostility between the Imperial Academy of Artillery and the Imperial Academy of Wizards.

A big explosion in the laboratory almost ended his quest for knowledge. In the golden light after the explosion, the wizards rescued Gelt. Many wizards wanted to treat his wounds, but he ordered them to leave.

Since that day, Geert has become what he is now. He always wears a golden mask, and no one can see his expression.

"I don't know if I can trust you, Geert." The emperor said in a deep voice, "But in the current situation, I have to trust you. You know, Gehrman is a fire wizard, and now it's the middle of winter. , his magic doesn't seem to be very effective in the North."

"Of course you can trust me, my majesty." The sound of metal friction deepened the emperor's suspicion. Karl Franz shook his head out of the strange thoughts that popped up in his mind. He knew that since the task was to be handed over to Gale Special, you have to trust him, there is no reason to trust him without entrusting the task to him.

"Well……"

A day later, Nord Kingdom, Mjordenhaven.

The weathered Ryan finally came to Mjordenhaven, the largest port city on the west coast of the Nord Kingdom.

The sky is blue and the sky is cloudless. Today is a rare good weather. The city gate of Mjordenhaven is full of people. A large number of carriages and people flow in and out of the city gate constantly. The sword, the three-leafed coat of arms of Lord Albert-Baker, Lord of Mjordenhaven, hangs high on the tower.

The encounter with Raun is destined to be short-lived. The Duke's son, as a mission knight, must continue his Holy Grail road, while Ryan wants to go to the Temple of the White Wolf in Mjordenhaven as soon as possible to inquire about the ancient saint, so the two I chatted for a long time in the evening, and parted ways early the next morning.

Before leaving, Lawn gave him a gold coin with the emblem of the Leaping Lion, and told him that whenever he went to Connecticut as a guest, he would personally greet him and bring Ryan to enjoy the best wine and food.

It has to be said that it is very rare to meet someone who is a good match. The short-term contact with Raun was like a confidant who had met for several years. The pendant was given to him: "This is a gift I got from the Lord of the White Wolf. Although I don't have a prominent family background and dazzling wealth like you, as long as I hold this, I will also provide help within my ability."

"It's a deal!" Lawn didn't dislike it at all, and took it sincerely.

"It's a promise!" They held hands.

After the two separated, Ryan descended from the mountain all the way, the broken chain mail could no longer be worn, he put away the chain mail, washed the blood stains by the stream, changed back to the Nord noble clothes, and then calmly went down the mountain, passing by After more than a day of mountain travel, he finally arrived at Mjordenhaven.

At this time, the river had begun to freeze, and the boats in the inland river could not sail. On the way, Ryan saw many passers-by, most of them were merchants and citizens, and a small number of peasants entered the city, and saw a noble walking alone. In the wild, passers-by, although a little strange, still gave him three points.

"By the way, have you heard?" A group of villagers were discussing something along the way: "Recently, a lady witch came from the east, staying at the Butterbeer Hotel in Mjordenhaven."

"Ah?! A witch?" A farmer carrying a firewood opened his mouth wide: "It's unbelievable!"

"Hey~ don't mention it, this witch is really nice, isn't she having a fever recently?" said the farmer who was carrying vegetables.

"Yes! One of our villages had a fever and died within two days."

"That witch, Your Excellency, took the initiative to prepare medicines for us villagers to treat diseases! As long as we find the raw materials! The price is super cheap! I know that those disgusting doctors know how to blackmail us!"

"So good? Sounds amazing."

"Besides this, the witch will also prepare other medicines. The ox in our village developed abscesses and was about to die. She was the one who prepared medicines to help us cure it. She is really a benefactor of our village. !" said a farmer.

"I wonder how long this witch will stay here?"

"It should stay for a while, but..."

"Oh, it's good to stay for a while longer, but what?" The farmer carrying the firewood was anxious and asked quickly.

"It's just that another witch, Your Excellency, came to live next door to her yesterday. She is completely different. She has a bad temper and likes to drive people out. She drives out all those who seek help~" When he got up, he seemed to have lingering fears, and then he was indignant: "I said that there are still good people and bad people among witches, don't you think?"

"Of course, of course!"

Another witch came yesterday? Bad temper? Like to chase people? Ryan wanted to laugh a little, he knew who the new witch was.

But who was that witch who appeared long ago?

"Hey! My God! The Agriculture Lady is here, and that nasty witch is standing at the city gate!" The two farmers looked at the city gate and discussed in a low voice, "She won't refuse us to enter the city, will she?"

"How is that possible! Come on, let's go in quickly." The two peasants lowered their heads and pretended not to know anything.

At the gate of the city, Teresa was leaning on her staff, watching the crowd of people: "Banda, you don't need to stand here with me, it's just a waste of your time."

"Mr. Ryan saved me, I feel I have an obligation to wait for him, don't I?" Banda straightened his waist as much as possible, he was wearing brand-new chain armor all over his body, and the two-handed sword behind him was as bright as new. The hair and face were carefully groomed, and it was clear that he was showing himself as best he could.

"..." Teresa didn't answer. She felt that she was very anxious. She had seen how the Doomsday Bull existed in the Doomsday dossier, so she had a particularly bad temper.

Banda stood behind the sorceress. He greedily breathed in the fragrance of Teresa. The scent of lavender almost fascinated him. The work of standing guard was not only not hard, but it was a kind of enjoyment for the little mercenary, supreme. enjoyment.

It would be good if the white wolf knight stayed in the wild for a few more days. Looking at Teresa's back and her long black hair that was flashing with light and shadow, a strange idea suddenly popped into Banda's heart.

The Blood Axe mercenary group "successfully" escorted Teresa to Mjordenhaven. The contract was also terminated at Wilt's insistence, but Teresa still paid most of the commission to Blood Axe. After the poor mercenary group was severely reduced, although Wirth took out a sum of money from the commission as a pension, everyone could get a lot. Banda took the opportunity to buy a set of ready-made chain armor at the blacksmith shop in the city. , and then dressed himself up again, all these two days he accompanied Teresa at the gate of the city.

He really wished it would last longer.

She just told the little mercenary rationally that this was impossible.

Why could he act as Lady Trovik's bodyguard?

Because that knight named Ryan has not returned.

But what if he came back?

Banda has already taken himself into the role of the sorceress's guard as a matter of course.

Looking at Teresa's slender body, Banda continued to think: If Ryan is alive, then he will return soon, then Ms. Trovik will follow him away~www.wuxiamtl.com~himself As a member of the Blood Axe Mercenary Group, she is about to leave her.

If Ryan goes missing, then Ms. Trovik is very likely to find him, or return to Skydome, and he can't find a good reason to follow.

So, what if Ryan dies?

As soon as this idea came up, the little mercenary himself was startled: No, no, no matter what, Mr. Ryan saved my life!

But another voice suddenly said: So what, don't you hate this kind of noble knight the most? It's best if he's dead! It's not your hands anyway, what does it have to do with you?

In an instant, Banda sweated a lot, and he subconsciously shrank his neck under the cold wind in the middle of winter.

But once this idea arises, it will never go away.

Just when the little mercenary was thinking wildly, the sorceress in front of him suddenly screamed, and the voice was full of unstoppable surprise: "Ryan!!!"

The long legs in high-heeled boots swayed rapidly, and Teresa rushed in front of the visitor under the surprised eyes of the guards. The expression on her face swayed in surprise and surprise. She wanted to approach, but with a little hesitation. .

"Are you all right?" The sorceress, dressed in a sky blue coat, stood pretty in front of the man.

"I'm fine, I said it, and I promised you would come back alive." There were still some scars on Ryan's face, but the man squeezed out a smile and told Teresa that he was fine.

"Yeah, I have always believed in you~" Teresa couldn't help showing a bright smile after the mountains that had piled up in her heart were removed. But she immediately realized something, so she raised her chin: "If you are qualified to be my partner, how can you die so easily?"

The snow lotus on the mountain is in full bloom.
