Warhammer Throne

Chapter 136: , Duke Winford "Long Legs" Francois

In early April, along the mountain road behind Baron Jean, a group of knights was marching.

Surya did not come alone. The two kingdom knights led a lot of ranger knights to protect the Duke. The internal security of Brittania, especially near the Principality of Winford, was not very good. The female knights had elite High-level strength cannot come alone.

The Kingdom Knights sent by the Duke to protect their daughters are naturally good hands. Both Kingdom Knights have elite peak strength and also have their own titles. One is called the Bull Knight Baptiste, and the other is called the Buck Buck Knight Gas. Dayton, they are all in their thirties, a well-equipped knight plate armor, a long sword hanging from the waist, a shield hanging from the hind legs of the horse, and careful attention to the movement on both sides of the road.

Only the Holy Grail Knight was riding his horse indifferently, chatting with the Duke Qianjin: "So, the security of Winford is not as good as expected?"

"Yes, Lord Ryan, we spend a lot of energy every year on robbing bandits." The knight rides on her pure-blood elf war horse, explaining carefully to the baron: "Many robber's fortresses are built in the Principality On the border, or deep in the forest, we have also lost a lot of knights in order to eliminate them. "

"There's no reason?" Lane spit out: "Are the knights of the Principality unable to solve this threat?"

As soon as this sentence came out, many young Ranger knights in the cavalry team were unsure, but the person in front of them was the Holy Grail Knight, and they could not say anything. At most, they muttered two words: "It is not that we do not work hard , All robbers are too cunning. "

The bull knight Baptiste had a beautiful splayed beard and shaved a big bald head. Hearing Lane said this, the knight said a little embarrassingly, "Please, Lord Lord Lemme, the bandits are very cunning. They often attack the village. When the knights gather, they will hide in the depths of the mountains or the forest, and hide in the fortresses. "

"Then you won't attack the city?" Ryan asked next, not wanting to save face on these knights.

The virtue of the Holy Grail Knights cannot be questioned. The knights present were somewhat ashamed. Surya took the initiative to take over the words: "That ’s it, Lord Ryan, the siege equipment is heavy and difficult to carry into the depths of the forest or the mountains, cunning The bandits never confronted us head-to-head, and it was difficult for us to conquer those fortresses when they stayed in the castle. "

"Hmm ~" Ryan touched his chin. He really thought about the problem.

Brittania, the kingdom of knights, the land of knights, has the most powerful heavy cavalry unit in the entire old world.

The group charge of the knights is indeed powerful in the field, but this has advantages and disadvantages. In the case of the country ’s strength to support the knights, the knight kingdom lacks powerful siege weapons and powerful long-range troops. One of the disadvantages is that this country has no artillery. When the robbers built their castles deep in the forest or inside the rugged mountains, the bulky catapults were not like artillery and could not be transported into them, and the knights had to dismount and fight.

Therefore, the Cavaliers feel a little helpless to these bandits, and can only passively defend. The cost of recruiting the army is too expensive, and it is not an option considered by the Duke.

Thinking of this, Ryan somewhat understood why the knight would find herself.

"Does Miss Surya want me to help the Lord Duke solve this problem?" Lane still smiled on his face, and he looked calm.

"Yes, we want to ask Mr. Lane to help us, otherwise every year these gangster attacks will cause considerable damage to the Principality, the people are displaced, the caravans are robbed and killed, and the cultivated farmland is destroyed." Her blond hair was held behind her ears, her figure was like a blooming iris, her face was full of sincerity and seriousness: "I hope that Lord Ryan can help us, this is my personal request."

Having said that, Ryan did not hesitate at all, he immediately agreed: "No problem, I agreed, Miss Surya and Yuli are my friends, and the Antrie family is my friend of Ryan-Mcado, in Help me a lot along the way, I have no reason not to agree. "

"Great, thank you very much." Surya's delicate face smiled.

Ryan smiled sympathetically as well, responding.

The young lady is gentle and speaks again. She and the family behind her have shown goodwill again and again. Ryan has no reason to refuse. The Antri family has helped from Marienburg to Britannia. He is a lot.

Cavalier virtue does not allow him to turn a blind eye to this, it is shameless to only accept the benefits and not to pay.

Entering the interior of the Principality of Winford, the air is filled with sweet fragrance. The Principality is surrounded by the Oracle Mountains. The Chinon River originates from the depths of the mountains. The land here is thousands of miles away. The climate here is cold in winter and cool in summer. Wine estate and olive oil manufacturing workshop.

Looking up, only the sun is warming the earth on the blue sky, the hardworking serfs are plowing, and the road paved with stones is full of travelers, caravans and villagers.

"What a land full of vitality and vitality!" Ryan praised: "Here is a paradise on earth."

Hearing the praise of the Holy Grail Knight, both the Ranger Knights and the Two Kingdom Knights felt proud, and the Buck Knight Gaston immediately responded loudly: "It is, Lord Lion, whenever I see this Fanmei, I am willing to dedicate my life to this land. When I was fighting abroad, Ms. and Ford were my firmest beliefs. "

Along the wide road, the knights marched towards Helen Hilde, the capital of the Duke of Winford.

This is a huge city like a garden, built in the middle of the river valley. The clear water of the Chinon River flows through the wilderness next to the city. The high gate hangs the "pure day horse" family of the Antri family. The coat of arms, the golden crown of the Duke is located above the coat of arms, telling the ancient history.

The houses in the city are made of bricks and stones, with white walls and red roofs. The streets are very lively and people are coming and going. Many trees are planted in the middle of the streets, and flowers and shades are everywhere.

The Duke ’s castle is located deep in the city, backed by the mountains. The towering towering walls and spired towers form the giant castle of Duke Winford. This huge castle has a total of three floors inside and outside, showing a conical rise, with a circumference of thousands of kilometers. It is constructed of towering granite stone and is a symbol of the wealth and power of the Duke.

The castle is near the Chinon River, with a square main fort in the middle and six cone-shaped turrets on both sides, surrounded by the surrounding. The pure daytime horse statue 30 meters high in front of the main fort gives a strong visual impact, as if it were then Return to the world with the first Duke Winford who fought with Arthur.

On the road, in the flowers, in the square, the minstrels and acrobats are performing a variety of programs. The knights pass through the main entrance of the castle, and the lush sea of ​​flowers is in sight, but Ryan and others are not here Stay, but follow the Duke Qianjin straight to the inner court, where he will meet the Knights of the Holy Land, the Holy Grail, Duke Winford "long legs" Francois-Antri.

Today's luck is not so good. The Lord Duke did not stay in the inner courtyard of his own castle. The loyal maid told the Duke Qianjin that the Duke was tasting wine in the gazebo outside.

"Mr. Ryan, please go to meet my father first. I will meet you after I change my clothes." Duke Qianjin politely said that he would stay first, and Ryan nodded friendly: "Okay."

Then, under the guidance of the bull knight Baptiste and the stag knight Gaston, along the marble courtyard, Lane came to the pavilion in the castle.

The pavilion in the castle is built on a hill, standing in the pavilion is enough to overlook the entire Helenhild and even the surrounding wilderness.

Before the pavilion, the crowd lined up, and countless seekers were waiting in line to receive the visit of the Lord Duke. Among them were the leaders of various unions, merchants from other places, manor owners from the duke ’s territory, and even some from The wandering knights outside of Brittania, they are eager to see the Duke himself, either to sell himself or to talk about difficulties.

They were disappointed today, as Baron Jean wearing a full Brittany Baron dress with the holy knight badge on his chest requested to see the Duke, and the guards and knights on duty in the castle were immediately notified by the Duke : Today ’s meeting is over, and the two Holy Grail Knights will discuss an important matter.

So with reluctance and regret, the waiters could only disband themselves.

Inside the gazebo, several ranger knights wearing shiny silver full-body plate armour were standing guard. In the gazebo, a tall Wei An figure stood back to the person coming. His height was slightly higher than that of Ryan, about one meter and nine meters.

Looking at this great shore, the bull knight Baptiste and the stag knight Gaston never concealed the enthusiasm and love in their eyes. They hung their hands respectfully, indicating that Ryan could step forward.

"I haven't seen you in years, the esteemed Guardian of Winford, the owner of Oracle Mountains, the beloved Lord Francois-Antri-de-Winfort, and the Holy Grail Knight Ryan-Mcado wish you body Healthy. "Ryan leaned down, pressed his hand on his left chest, and paid respectful etiquette towards the figure of Wei An.

Like his godfather, Winford ’s “long-legged” Francois is also a truly worthy person. This prince became a ranger knight after he became an adult at the age of 18, and participated in several battles and battles. He won the crown and was named the Knight of the Kingdom at the contest in the capital of Korona, Tania. At the age of 35, he embarked on the road of the Holy Grail. At the age of 39, he killed the two-footed dragon and the doomed bull successfully The Holy Grail was tested, and then returned to the territory, inheriting the position of Duke Winford of his father.

The difference between Francois and the Duke is that this Grand Duke is very good at internal affairs. His years of conquest have never affected his wisdom. Under his administration, the originally rich Duke of Winford went further and became almost human. Heavenly appearance.

His military capabilities have never been abandoned. Eleven years ago, the necromancer Heinrich-Kemler led the army of undead to invade Brittania. It was the knights led by the Grand Duke Francois. This attack completely deported the undead from Brittany's borders.

"Welcome to Winford, the champion of the ladies, the guardian of Marienburg, the winner of the championship duel Ryan Macado ~" The Grand Duke turned around.

Like Julius and Suria, this duke has bright blonde hair and sea-blue eyes. His thick short hair makes him look very spirited. His eyebrows with wide fingers, a tall nose bridge, and a beautiful short character Hu was taken care of very spiritually, and it was hard to imagine that the grand duke was in his early seventies, and he looked handsome like thirty people.

But when Ryan turned his eyes to his eyes, the Duke ’s impression of the face had faded. These were eyes that were deep like the sea. This was a pair of eyes that truly penetrated the human heart. Wisdom surged in this rough sea. The ocean is rolling, brewing, waiting for the next wave to come.

A silk dress of the Grand Duke of Brittany decorated his body, it seems that because there is no formal event today, the Duke himself has also been dressed casually: "I waited for a few days and you did not come to visit me, so I had to take the initiative to invite you over, my baron? "

The Duke's voice is heavy and full of magnetism ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ has a strong sense of precipitation.

After confirming that the Duke's face was full of smiles, Lane carefully replied: "I was negligent, just arrived in the territory, there are so many things, I plan to deal with it and visit you again."

"Wise decision! This is the qualified lord." The Duke first confirmed Ryan's approach, and then smiled: "You are excellent, even if you know that you are the godson of Ivan, I did not expect you to be so good."

"Reality is always more incredible than imagination, my Duke." Who knew Ryan smiled a little unnaturally: "I didn't expect such a day, when I was desperate in the championship duel, it was the lady who gave The strength of my fighting. "

"And your feats along the way are already worthy of the title of ladies' champion. That's why I welcome you. Sit. In this beautiful spring, nothing is more comfortable than drinking a glass of fine wine." The waiter who served behind him made a color. The waiter immediately brought two ivory cups. A bottle of very old wine was opened, and the dark red wine was poured into the jade white ivory cup: "This is 1462. Younger wine, for ladies! "

"For the lady!" Ryan took the wine glass. The red wine at the entrance was mellow and long-lasting, with a thick smoke and roasting smell.

"Emmm ~ truffles, mint, leather, black cherry, and a little bit of the smell of dwarf miners, hard and soft, well-defined." Ryan tasted with his eyes closed.

The Duke Winford hadn't answered yet, and behind the baron came a voice with some surprises: "I really didn't expect His Excellency Lane to be a person who understands wine?"

The baron opened his eyes subconsciously and turned to look behind him.
