Warhammer Throne

Chapter 1040, Ryan Macado occupied the Rouen Palace

PS: Happy birthday.

"Prepare to fight, prepare to fight!" Raymond was the first to rush up. The officer of the old guard stopped in front of Ryan and Suria. He first loaded his musket, and then shouted to Jin Jin. The guards lined up in an array, and these elites of all kinds of battles lined up in two rows full of artistic smooth movements. The battalion commander shouted to Ryan: "Please, your majesty, and madam, you are here and so on, let me have a good talk with these guys!"

"How to talk? Raymond, you just take your weapons to talk?" Ryan glanced at Raymond, cocked his mouth, and shook his head: "Soldiers, put away your weapons!"

The loyal old guards immediately obeyed the orders. They put away their weapons and lined up in two rows without saying a word. These veterans did not change their faces even when faced with an army of two to three thousand people.

Even in the face of at least three thousand enemy troops, even in the face of more knights than themselves, even if they know that they will not be backed up, but as Ryan’s most loyal soldier, every old guard is born and experienced. Hundred battles.

"Your Majesty, I assure you that you will never see our ruined back."

——Old Guard Sergeant Major, senior veteran, and legendary strongman Rohill who served Ryan for the 23rd year

"Damn, a bunch of traitors, sonoftheb..." Raymond was wronged. The battalion commander had already shot his hand, but now he doesn't pick it up, nor does it take it down, and Ryan also ordered Putting away his weapons, Raymond stood there for a long time, and finally bowed his head and cursed.

"What are you talking about?" Ryan said with a smile.

"No...nothing." Raymond suddenly realized that the three women around Ryan were looking at him, and he shook his head embarrassedly.

Su Liya still maintained the demeanor and grace of the palace, she didn't seem to understand what Raymond was saying at all, and Silvia behind her glared at Raymond, as if she only needed to hear this. Such words will cause her instinctive opposition and displeasure.

Only Olica seemed to find it very interesting. The dark elf's amber eyes turned around, seeming to be thinking about something new again.

"I recognize their flag, the white cross on the yellow background, the blue sea monster water spray family coat of arms, the army of the Earl of Clement family, the commander is Sir Baldwin, and the lieutenant is Sir Leonard." Suria pulled. Ryan's hand, the female knight said very cautiously: "It seems that the old Count Clement is very wary of us and even dispatched the entire army for this."

"The Duchy of Le-Angouran and the Duchy of Connet have always been the strongholds of conservative factions." Ryan remained calm, but the Knight King knew that the scene before him had exceeded his estimation. He originally estimated that he would be close to Le- Only when Angoulang met resistance of this scale.

However, when he thought of the sentence "My vassal's vassal is not my vassal", Ryan was relieved. Yes, the old Earl of Clement is not subordinate to him. Why should he listen to his orders and let him open the door? -Angola's road?

The advantages of the enfeoffment system have been mentioned many times before, but what about the disadvantages?

It's very simple. There are three main points. The first is the heinously low administrative efficiency (one layer manages one layer, and the other layer cannot be directly managed), and the second is the fiscal capacity and mobilization capacity of trash like Xiang. The third is that independence and separatism have become more and more serious over time.

Therefore, Ryan must take a lot of power from these enfeoffment nobles. No matter how annoying and numerous the bureaucratic system is, it is undoubtedly much more advanced than enfeoffment system.

However, there must be a prerequisite for the implementation of the bureaucracy, that is, a well-trained bureaucratic team to cooperate. These bureaucrats must be able to read and hyphenate and be able to train well in administration. This was very difficult when Ryan first arrived in the Knight Kingdom— -As we all know, people who can read and write, and can be well-trained in administration come from about three factions-nobles, churches, and wizards.

Cultivating such a class of people cannot be accomplished in one or two days.

So to put it simply, productivity has increased and education popularization has increased, so that bureaucracy can be used to completely replace the nobility, and this painful step cannot be taken at all-the external military pressure is too great, and sufficient military strength and power must always be maintained. Sufficient resources are tilted, so the military aristocratic group has always been the protagonist. This is the case of the knight kingdom, the empire across the mountain, and even the emperor’s human empire. Aristocratic bureaucracy is the best choice at present.

Knight King Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at the Count Clement's army coming up from both sides. The king stretched out his hand and motioned for the old guards to wait in place, motioned for Suria and Olica to stop, motioning everyone to stop. Come down.

He will test whether everything he has done for the old world, for mankind, for order, and for the kingdom of knights for more than 20 years is worth it. He will test his prestige. If this is an exam, then Ryan has come to Time for results.

In the eyes of everyone, the King of Knights walked towards dozens of platoons of infantry, two teams of knights, five teams of knights, sixteen artillery pieces and three mobile trebuchets. Under the eyes of everyone, Ryan looked serious. , The step is firm.

Ryan, wearing a red and blue golden lion king's dress, no crown, and a white gold cup cloak behind him, walked towards the army of more than three thousand people step by step without any hesitation.

Not far away, Sir Baldwin, holding a knight sword in his hand, noticed that the soldiers wavered, and their formation became a little disorganized. Many soldiers couldn't help but want to retreat, while more soldiers and knights bowed their heads. Did not dare to look into the eyes of the Knight King.

Lightning and flames of judgment and torture radiated from those eyes.

Before Baldwin had time to give the order, the knights under his command had begun to shout loudly. After all, they were the backbone of the knights under the elder Earl of Clement. Baldwin was only the appointed commander-in-chief. They drew out their swords and raised their lances: "Soldiers! Heed! Go ahead, raise your arms, and drive these people out of our land! If there is any resistance, kill them!"

"Go forward!" The voices of the knights spread far, far away in the wilderness.

However, the whole army was like a curse. All the soldiers looked at the Knight King Ryan, who was slowly walking step by step. No one moved. Everyone, look at me, I look at you, face It is full of doubts.

Some veterans have even put down their weapons and showed angry expressions at the knight masters who gave orders.

"Those who do not obey orders will face the most serious trial, and they will be executed immediately in the name of treason!" The knights under the elder Count Clements continued to shout: "You mean dogs! You guys! Will pay the price for your cowardice!"

The army remained motionless, the serf infantry, the freedmen sergeants, and the gunners who were heavily brought in from the empire refused to carry out the orders of the knight masters, and even the knight rebels ignored the orders of the knight masters.

Similarly, just across the field, the old guards and the freedmen's army, including the guards of Baron Otero, were also motionless.

Between the sky and the earth, only Ryan and Su Liya who followed him were left, and the sound of the waterwheel not far away.

Everything was stagnant like mud that couldn't be melted, and people's hearts were held tightly. Silvia couldn't help but squeezed her mouth, and stared at him with Olica. Behind Ryan.

Su Liya, who was half a step behind Ryan, couldn't help showing a stern expression.

You can, Ryan, my husband, you can do it.

No matter where it is, I and Su Liya will face you together, because we are husband and wife!

Su Liya stretched out her hand and held Ryan's big hand, which was already covered with sweat.

Step by step, Ryan stepped into the range of the artillery, into the range of the musket, and even within the range of the serf archers. The Knight King looked at the rows of soldiers and looked at their faces. Khan, and hesitant expression.

They are leaders, and their bodies depend on the nobles.

They ate the earl’s food and received the earl’s reward. The serfs even gave birth to the earl, and died the earl’s ghost.

He could feel the hesitation in their hearts, and Ryan was smashing their foundation for thousands of years.

But if this is not done, how can a new era come?

Suria’s small hands gave Ryan confidence and strength, and the Knights dynasty shouted to everyone: "Knights and soldiers of Le-Angouran, people of Bretania! Do you recognize me? I am the king, your knight king Ryan Makado!"

The whole audience was silent, and the air became thinner.

Ryan then gently pulled Su Liya up: "This is my queen, Su Liya! Your knight queen."

Su Liya stood proudly in front of the crowd, raised her head and chest, showing her noble temperament and proud figure to the fullest.

"Which one of you wants to kill his king and queen?" Ryan stepped forward again, and he couldn't help but smiled like a self-deprecating smile: "We are here, you can do it now."

Looking at the king of knights and queens who opened their arms and trusted them unreservedly, even the conservative knight masters couldn't help but lowered their heads that were originally high on the battle horse. They opened their mouths and only felt their noses. A hot.

He is the king, our king! He is the king who brought countless miracles and victories to Bretania, and brought the whole kingdom to glory again and to another peak!

The Serf Infantry Regiment and the Freedmen's Sergeants shook one after another. All of them subconsciously put down their weapons, hesitated, and suffered terribly.

Finally, a veteran who had participated in the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition and the Mottkin Invasion Expedition successively, Sir Fros, now the chief garrison of the Earl of Clement’s Castle, was the first to throw his weapon on the ground. He raised his arms and roared. Said: "Soldiers, our king is here, what are you waiting for? Long live the king!"

"Long live the king! Long live the king!"

Rushing like a wave, roaring like lightning, raging like a gale.

"Long live the king! Long live the king!"

The cheers were left above the wilderness, and the whole army was shattered, disintegrated automatically, turned into sea sand, and flocked to their king!

The former comrades-in-arms embraced each other, and the compatriots during the Great Expedition embraced each other enthusiastically. Above the field of Clements, a flame symbolizing the glory of mankind is burning.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

The old guards and freemen opened their arms to welcome these compatriots to join. The human beings screamed, cheered, shouted long live the king, sang hymns, sang their king and queen, and the veterans sang together. : "Your Majesty has given us the trust, and we must not be ashamed of the expectations of His Majesty."

The knights under Count Clément didn’t know what to do at this time. They watched their army tumultuously in a panic. Even most of the knight rebels couldn’t help joining the ranks of the rebellion, Renner. Sir De hurriedly came to Baldwin's side: "My Sir, you...You are the commander of this army, what shall we do, you have an idea, whether to escape... or..."

"Need an answer? Leonard?" Baldwin rolled over and dismounted.

"Yeah, yeah!" The serfs and freedmen were pleasantly surprised to find that their commander did not escape. Sir Baldwin, with the help of his attendants, strode towards Ryan.

When the knight masters saw this scene, they understood Baldwin's choice, and they collectively dismounted and surrendered.

Surrounded by cheers and praise, Ryan laughed loudly and shouted at Baldwin: "Hey, Baldwin, you are so slow. I remember you were a soldier on several big expeditions, and you were on the front line. ."

"I'm late, Your Majesty, but I hope it's not too late." Baldwin knelt on one knee and offered his knight sword to Ryan with both hands: "I will lead my army to loyal to you!"

"Put away your sword, fool." Ryan smiled, he looked at the knight masters who collectively knelt down and announced their surrender. The knight king opened his arms: "Without a sword, how do you protect your king and queen?"

Baldwin couldn’t help tears in his eyes, yes, this is the lord I want to follow, this is the king of our knight kingdom, how can those decadent old nobles be compared with our king, only he can let Breeze Tania becomes greater: "That's right, Your Majesty, you are right, Le-Angoulang Castle is still some distance away from here, please let us follow you to the end of the world!"

"The Clement's knights and soldiers, regroup and form a three-way column! Turn around!" Baldwin turned and gave orders to the soldiers: "Tear me all the rags! Lifting belongs to us. The red, blue, golden lion flag and the iris flower flag!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Raymond held the old guard tricolor flag in both hands and planted the flag on the ground. The thunderous roar of war resounded through the world: "Long live the king!"

"Long live the king! Long live the king!"

The cheers in the field have been spreading far, far away.

The next day, the gates of the castle of Count Clément opened wide, and the army of the knight king was stationed here.

The splendid and extravagant earl's palace-Rouen Palace opened the door. The old Count of Clement ran away with a small part of his personal property. They took a small boat to the sea to seek refuge in Marienburg, leaving behind an empty earl's castle , There were also a large group of civilians gathered and many knight nobles who took the initiative to stay and wait for the arrival of the knight king. In cheers, the knight king and the knight queen visited the Rouen Palace.

"Your father ran away, Baldwin." Ryan and Sulia entered the palace to admire the luxurious decoration of the old Earl of Clement. The Cavaliers smiled at Baldwin: "Doesn't he know that as a nobleman if he didn't stick to his What punishment will the land face?"

"Earl, he is afraid of your trial, Your Majesty." Baldwin said calmly, "He is afraid of you as much as the storm and lightning."

"No, he is no longer an earl." Suria looked at Baldwin with a calm expression. She stretched out her hand and pointed slightly: "I, Queen of the Cavaliers Suria announced that starting today, you, Baldwin-de-K. Leman is the new Earl of Clement!"

An unspeakable excitement enveloped Baldwin's heart. He knelt on the spot: "I wish to serve your majesty!"

The new order will come on this land!

"What? Ryan Makado has occupied the Rouen Palace? Thousands of troops surrendered without any resistance?"

Duke Taubot stood up from his position~www.ltnovel.com~ The Duke suspected that he had heard it wrong: "You say it again?"

Edward bowed, and the Secretary of the Interior looked ugly: "Yes, my Duke, there was no battle. The old Earl of Clement has escaped. Queen Suria declared that Sir Baldwin who had fallen in battle was the new Earl of Clement. "

"How dare she?! How can she go over my duke and appoint an earl in my duchy?!" Duke Taubert was outraged, and he shouted outside: "Robert! Get me in!"

"Yes!" The Secretary of War Robert hurried in: "My Duke, what do you want?"

"Assemble all the troops immediately, and be sure to drive the Knight King and his army out of my principality!"

"understand!"
