Warhammer Throne

When Ryan led the army to say goodbye to Francois and returned to the Count of Glamorgan, it was already winter.

It started to snow again, and Ryan suddenly found that he was almost thirty-two years old. He smiled self-deprecatingly. Time really passed quickly. When he set out from Nord, he was twenty-four years old. He was a knight. Now Already thirty-two years old, he is an earl.

After returning to the territory, the army was disbanded, the military pay and pensions were distributed, and they each went home for the Winter Veil. The casualty rate of Ryan ’s army was about 25% this time, barely acceptable, but it took some time to replenish and recuperate.

One winter day, Ryan invited Bellega to visit the winery. The two sat in the restaurant drinking and chatting by the way. Bellega held a beer glass and a plate of roasted lamb legs was on the table.

"Oh, it's snowing. I like the snowy weather, so I can hide in my house and drink hot beer." Bellega touched his white beard: "Brother Ryan, your territory is good everywhere. , Just one thing is not good enough. "

"Where is not good enough?" Ryan thought one day you wouldn't drink beer?

The dwarves always drink beer as water, which is similar to the free people in the city. The emerging free people are no longer satisfied with drinking inferior Breton ales and eating brown bread like serfs. They The daily food is beer (made by the Empire) + whole wheat bread + vegetables + fruits.

After some people were promoted to free people, their desire and ambition to continue to expand also expanded, and now the green arrow Bertrand was named Lord, and the title of jazz will make these free people crazy for a long time. Ryan also has to think about how to guide this fanaticism correctly.

"If your territory has mountains, Brother Ryan, you know, many dwarves are actually unable to adapt to live under the sky. That day is too high and too far, we are very worried about falling in." Bellega muttered: "You have to be thankful that our Angerand clan is used to wandering outside, so it is still used to living on the plains. Many elders in Karak-Tiefengbao and Karaz-A-Karak are not used to leaving now. The mountains. "

"It turns out that way." Lane nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that the dwarves here in the Gray Mountains would be better."

"It is true, the dwarves of Lorek-Granite Hand and Breeze Fort have been in contact with humans all the year round, but they are very used to going to trade all day. In general, there are many clans among the dwarves. The Society of Engineers is the most radical of all dwarf engineers. For example, Tiefengbao and Hornhorn are still unwilling to popularize firearms. ”Bellega continued:“ There is also the old stubbornness of the supreme king Solglin-the complainant. ”

"But I remember the old stubbornness in your mouth who helped you all the way when you attacked Bafeng Mountain for the second time." Lane said with a smile.

"... I admit that I did something wrong." Belega suddenly blushed old, and he said a little bit shamefully: "At that time, I asked Solgreen for help, hoping that he would help me recover Bafeng Mountain, and Solgreen initially agreed. At my request, he sent 10,000 dwarf troops to help me. "

"Ten thousand people ..." Ryan swallowed.

Don't underestimate the 10,000 people of the dwarves. For the dwarves, 10,000 people are already a real army.

When he was working as a white wolf knight in White Wolf City, he once heard the dwarves there say that the entire dwarf clan now has a population of less than 600,000 people, of which Karaz-A-ka is the eternal peak of the dwarf capital. Lak, when the supreme king Solgreen succeeded to the throne, there were probably 120,000 or 20,000.

After the great jihad ended, the last dwarf supreme king abdicated. After the new supreme king Solgreen succeeded in vigorously encouraging fertility, he established a very good relationship with mankind. The eternal peak trade prospered and recuperated.

One hundred and sixty years have passed. Humans can turn the population six or seven times in such a long time. What about dwarves?

Eternal Peak now has about 150,000 or 60,000 dwarves.

"Ah, ten thousand people, we formed a coalition and attacked Bafeng Mountain for the second time. Originally, Greene promised him to lure the enemy. I went to attack the main fortress of Bafeng Mountain ... In fact, I did that, but the problem is that ... Solgreen met Skasnik ’s main army, and I faced some of Skasnik ’s affiliated tribes. ”Bellejae blushed blatantly when he said this:“ I will pick up soon It ’s Solgrim ’s request for help ... but I think I can capture the main castle ... "

Hey Hey hey! In other words, you borrowed a huge reinforcement from the Supreme King. The Supreme King personally acted as a decoy for you. As a result, Bellega saw the hope of conquering the main castle, and actually sold the Supreme King and his army? !

The muscles on Ryan's face twitched.

"After a hard day and night, I finally conquered the main fortress of Bafeng Mountain and destroyed the green-skinned offensive and stone statues, but Solgreen could n’t hold it anymore and he was forced to retreat. I immediately realized that my army and I did n’t Ability to withstand Skasnik ’s rebate, so I can only order the burial of the tribes and warriors to evacuate before the whole army is overthrown. ”Bellega ’s face was full of shame:“ This is my distance to recover The last time in the Eight Peaks Mountain, after the withdrawal of the army, the extremely angry Sorgreen cut off the food supply to our clan and scolded me for betrayal and will not support me again.

"Then I hope you won't sell me by then." Lane joked, he picked up the glass.

"I certainly won't. I swear in the name of the Eight Peaks!" Bellega said anxiously after listening to Ryan: "Brother Ryan, you can't break your oath!"

"I will not disobey my oath, and I hope my dwarf friends will not disobey the oath of the Confederacy." Ryan stretched his fist: "We need to respect each other."

"Hey, I like you like this." Bellega put out his fists and Ryan fisted with some effort. The King of the Eight Peaks drank the beer from the glass, and then quite proudly reached out to signal the waiter to fill up.

Emilia, the little maid standing behind Bellega, stepped forward to help Bellega fill up the beer. When the time came to winter, the little maid also put on a thick maid's long skirt, covered with a fox fur jacket, and Qingli moved. Emilia smiled sweetly, and Bellegar said thank you very rarely.

Not far away, Queen Bellanick of Bellegar was taking his son to dine together at the reception of Surya. After the living conditions improved, Bellegar ’s people were no longer hungry, and Suria commissioned Rune blacksmith Deron Feinson created a set of gold jewelry for Komanick. The proud Bellega said nothing, but he was very grateful.

Brother Lane and his wife Mrs. Suria are both my friends.

"Bryan Brothers, our food is still supported by you, but this is not a long-term plan." Bellegar mentioned his concern: "The Blackstone stronghold still needs sufficient and stable food supply. We can't completely rely on trade and transportation. Right? "

"This is indeed a problem, but ... I already have a solution." Ryan pulled out a map, he said in standard dwarf language: "Come, King Bellega, look here."

A roll of maps was laid on the table on one side, and Ryan pointed his finger near the Blackstone stronghold: "In fact, near the Blackstone stronghold, at the foot of the Grey Mountains, on the foot of the Greysmore River, there is a fertile land It ’s a pity that it ’s too close to the Blackstone stronghold. No one dared to settle there because of security issues.

"Now that we have recovered the Blackstone stronghold, we only need a few outposts, and we can put this land under the protection of the dwarves, but ... Brother Ryan, the dwarves are not a race that is good at planting." Belega first intended Moving, but then he expressed difficulties: "Our manpower is not enough, and it takes a lot of manpower to rebuild a dwarf fortress."

"This I know, this problem is easy to solve. This piece of land is the land of the Principality of Giselle Oaks, but now the Duke of Hagen is burnt out, and Kemler and his grave corps have almost wiped the entire southern Principality of Gisele Oaks to ruins , We just need to propose the establishment of a trading post, a trading post that sells goods, communicates the north and south, connecting the pale sister mountains to the north, and through Montfort in the south, the dwarves are willing to cooperate with humans to build a trade fair, and gradually develop into a trading town, Duke Hagen could n’t find a reason to refuse. ”Ryan smiled in a humble smile:“ And this wasteland is located under the Blackstone stronghold, repair the mountain road, and it only takes less than one day to reach the Blackstone stronghold. . "

"Planting nearby is easy to transport, um ... well, you are uncomfortably smiling, Granny is on, humans are always so unpleasant, cunningly like sharp ears." Bellega had to admit that Ryan was right. The King of the Eight Peaks felt his beard for a while and continued to ask, "But what about the manpower? After several years of war in Brittania, your population has also decreased. Right? Where did we come from so many people to grow land? "

"Someone." Ryan smiled thieves. He put his fingers on some mountainsides and foothills near the Blackstone stronghold: "There, there are many rebellious serfs! They are all living laborers, and these local areas The knights are difficult to attack. Duke Hagen needs the help of the dwarf, King Bellega. "

"well!"

…………

After receiving the invitation and proposal from Ryan and Bellegar, despite the time approaching the Winter Veil Festival, Hagen, Duke of Giselle Oaks, chose to rush to the Count of Glamorgan.

The situation is stronger than people. The Principality of Gisole Oaks killed tens of thousands of people under the attack of Keimler, dozens of villages were destroyed, the situation in the entire Principality was messed up, and Kemler attacked Gisole Oaks and will be destroyed And the ruins, as well as the refugees who fled in the wilderness, were left to the Duke of Hagen. Although Kemler was defeated in the end, the scars he left behind will not disappear for a while.

Because of the lack of food, the consequences of the serf riots in the previous years began to appear. When Duke Hagen returned to the territory, he found that the matter was out of control, grabbing food, and robbers rampant. The hungry victims were everywhere. The town was like One after another, the buckets of dying refugees were packed, and the serfdom's rebellion made Duke Hagen anxious, but he was not a very capable ruler himself.

He is a holy grail knight. He lives all year round in the capital of Curona and rarely returns to his Principality. The entire Principality is regent by the Earl of Jean-Harlan. Duke Hagen himself is more intoxicated with his personal virtues and in the church to the lake The fairy prays and manages the affairs of the principality less often.

It ’s just that he ca n’t do it now. The southern principality needs to be rebuilt, the victims need to be resettled, and the rebellion needs to be settled. Duke Hagen, who is not good at the internal affairs, can be said to be one head and two big in the face of a mess. He has a headache how to deal with those rebellions. serf.

Suppress? Those serfs are his property! In addition, the serfs hid in the mountains. The cost of gangsters was prohibitive. The knights were not good at fighting in the mountains.

Caress? Where does the food come from? How to place? Does n’t it just encourage the serf to rebel?

After getting a letter from Ryan, he decided to bring Count Jean-Harlan to Ryan. The dwarf planned to establish a trading post in the Principality of Giselle Oaks. This is a new point of trade growth! No matter how dull, Duke Hagen knew that this would be an opportunity for the Principality to develop and resume production and resettle the victims.

Outside the castle, in the snow and blizzard, the Ryan couple personally greeted the winery to greet the Duke of Hagen and his entourage. The Earl of Glamorgan himself embraced his wife's waist and kissed on the delicate and smooth face of Surya A sip: "My wife ~ I used to think that Duke Hagen was not a holy grail ..."

"Lane ~ Duke Hagen only rarely left Curona, so the sense of existence is relatively low." Surya pushed Ryan's hand away with some blame. The female knight is not used to doing such intimate behavior in a large public. The guy wanted to see her shy expression: "Duke Hagen is upright and strong. He just doesn't like to manage the affairs of the Principality. He lives in Curona except for major events, prays and practices in the Holy Grail Cathedral."

Crimson velvet jacket with four minks on the hat. There is a gold ring on the crown, decorated with 8 red gold leaves. Hagen, the Duke of Giselle Oaks, hurried to the castle of Ryan with more than twenty entourages. Ryan immediately stood up and paid tribute to the Duke: "Hi Duke of Hagen ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Welcome to Glamorgan."

"Hello, Lord Count Lane, Mrs. Suria, and on behalf of the Principality of Giselle Oaks, thank you for your help to the entire country in this Battle of Blackstone Stronghold, Battle of La Maisonnel Abbey, without you and With the efforts of Francois, Keimler and his Tomb Corps will bring profound disaster to this country. "Hagen replied politely.

The Duke of Giselle Oaks looks thirty people, with a bazi, a simple face and a strong body. He and Francois are people of an era, and the youngest duke in Brittania is Palaon. Duke Casfan, in his forties.

Briefly, Ryan has already set up a banquet in the winery, but obviously, Duke Hagen has no intention of eating and drinking. After filling his stomach a little, Hagen ca n’t wait to ask: "The dwarf intends to be in my dom Establish a trading post? Also help me suppress the rebellion? "

"Well, Lord Hagen, you know, the Blackstone stronghold is not far from Gisoleaux, and King Bellega needs enough food ..."
