Warhammer Throne

The large-scale vampire movement caused Ryan to lose the interest of the festival. On the contrary, the baron had to spend a winter veil, and immediately put his energy into preparing for the battle.

A few days after the Winter Veil, at the end of December, the Baron Jean of Brittania led a heavy snowfall. The heavy snowfall not only foreshadowed a bumper harvest after the New Year, but also declared that the baron ’s military preparations needed temporary Stopped, the serfs were not strong enough to train in the snow.

The paladin Alfred and the chalice knight Ryan and the butler Kasenberg sat on the balcony to enjoy the snow. A large pot of beef stew was placed in the middle of several large back chairs.

"Now there is good news, Afu, the vampires gathered in the army much slower than we thought. According to the scout returns, the Red Duke ’s awakening of the undead was repeatedly failed, and many desert graves were washed away in the flood called by the lady. "Ryan picked up the wine glass, he was thinking about this problem:" Even using the most radical way of calculation, the Red Duke wants to gather a large army and it will take three months, but I don't understand why he is still so costless Want to assemble a large army ... Kasenberg? "

"My baron." The butler was still dressed in a big bald head. He was wearing a jacket and carrying a wood elf wine. When Ryan called him, Kasenberg signaled that he was listening.

"If I give you three months, how strong can you build fortifications?" Lane asked. "To be honest, do what you can."

"In three months, you can only build a wooden wall and wooden sentry at most, and then you can build some defensive facilities, such as pits and trenches." Kasenberg calculated a little, and said the expected results: "So short It takes too much time to build the stone wall, my baron, and the cost of the stone wall is also amazing, this will affect the spring cultivation. "

"Well, I understand." Ryan gave up the plan to repair the wall urgently after thinking for a while. The undead army is different from other troops. The wooden walls cannot block these creatures.

"Good friend, are you ready to fight the vampire?" Alfred picked up the wooden bowl, filled with beef stew. He prayed with sincerity, and then ate meat.

The life of a paladin is relatively bitter. They need a lot of meat, but they often do n’t have enough money. Therefore, paladins tend to hunt for their own meat. For high-level meat such as beef, Alfred can eat it. There are not many opportunities, and all the money he earned was used to stamp the chapel in the town.

With the efforts of Alfred ’s missionary, the Church of Justice began to have a place in Ryan ’s territory. Some serfs accepted Alfred ’s baptism. Among them, with the help of Alfred, several children had been transferred. The post became a paladin.

"Yes, this war may not be so easy." Lane nodded.

"Since it is against undead creatures, please let me help you!" Alfred nodded seriously: "Justice is the nemesis of the undead. The holy water blessed by my Lord can cause very considerable damage to undead creatures. There are many in the chapel, I still have it. "

"I won't say anything else, Afu, let's fight side by side!" Ryan didn't refuse, and Alfred and he didn't need those virtual ones.

Outside the balcony, the goose feathers and snow fell from the sky, and the thick clouds of cotton covered every corner of the sky. The Jean Baron collar became a world wrapped in silver, the buildings and streets of Jean Town. It was covered with snow, many serfs were sweeping the snow, and groups of patrols walked across the walls of the town.

"Good friends, I have to say that the bow company has already looked a bit under Esterel's training." Alfred said casually: "Normally, a qualified archer needs at least one to two years. Training takes shape, but you have found the easiest way. "

"I never planned to train an archer, Afu, as you know, it takes at least a year or two for a qualified archer to guarantee a certain accuracy beyond fifty steps, and like the Bastogne Longbowmen That kind will take five to eight years to form. "Ryan nodded and said softly:" But ... the crossbow is different. "

Yes, Ryan deeply understood that it took a long time for the serf archers to form an army with only enough combat power. The Longbowmen of Bastogne began training from the age of 8-11, and their entire life was training time. The Duke of Birchmond stipulated that qualified serfs aged 12-65 in the territory should practice bow and arrow skills on Sundays after praising the fairy in the lake.

Lion could not pull up an excellent longbowman in a short time, but he could pull up an excellent army of crossbowmen in a short time.

The dwarf hand crossbow made by the dwarf artisan Deron Feinson is a weapon that satisfies Ryan. This dwarf hand crossbow requires very little operation skills. Ryan knows that the serfs need such a brain-restrained hand-handle tutorial. , Loading, aiming and shooting, all in one go, simple and rough.

Sure enough, under Esterel's training, just over a month, all the serfs of the Jean Bow Company have been able to reload, aim, and shoot very skillfully.

Ryan felt great after watching it. It was enough to have this fighting power.

The Baron Jean has 1 holy knight, 4 ranger knights, 13 knights, 85 swordsmen, 201 pikemen, and 120 crossbowmen. Compared to ordinary baron collars, Lane The size of the army you have can be regarded as huge.

Well, there are two wizards with the army.

"My Baron, His Excellency Francois sent someone to ask you, do you need reinforcements?" Butler Kasenberg whispered: "He is worried that you may be the front line here, and, according to the scout's return, Berchim The Duke of Germany also learned about the vampire ’s movements, and he is preparing for war. "

"Apart from them? In addition to the Duke of Perchmond and Duke of Francois, did any other Duke react?" Ryan suddenly thought of something, and he asked with confusion.

"For the moment alone ... No, the Duke must have received information that the vampires are gathering troops, but only the two Dukes who responded are gathering troops. Others include the nearest wave between Lien and Mousilon. His Excellency Lord Boderico, the Duke of Eldro, just started to mobilize the army, and there was no sign of the call of the whole people and the intention to stand firm. ”Kasenberg held parchment:“ There is no new order from the king. This is three days ago. Intelligence. "

Ryan sighed. He probably knew why there was no specific action for the Duke except Duke Winford and Duke Bastogne.

This has nothing to do with whether or not hostile vampires, this matter has something to do with Ryan.

Because the scene more than a year ago was a knightly war against the Aden Forest, almost all the principalities lost thousands of troops in this war, although the loss of a few thousand people is not counted for the principalities It hurts, but their original strength is also stretched. Castles and territories everywhere need enough troops to stay. In this case, the Duke is hesitant about whether to recruit more troops to affect the spring cultivation.

Only the Principality of Bastogne and the Principality of Winford have suffered not only small losses but also seized a large amount of loot because the right-wing army led by Lane has become an elite army that has been baptized by blood and fire.

Only these two principalities still have the ability to gather troops immediately.

"My baron? How did you plan?" Kasenberg asked after seeing Ryan not answering.

"What do you think? Kasenberg?" Ryan intended to check his butler.

Kasenberg lowered his head and thought for a moment: "My baron, I don't think it's time to ask for reinforcements yet. Mu Xilong's movements are unknown. Is it true that the vampire is actually going to war, and whether the Red Duke's goal is us It is unclear from the current situation. My baron, you are already afraid of the king. Be careful when you do this. Unless Your Majestic Queen Mogiana or the king has explicitly ordered you to lead, you should be careful. "

"Well, very good. All we have to do now is to gather troops and prepare for war, but we should also be low-key and don't settle down." Ryan nodded again and again: "Wait first to see our majesty our king or His Majesty Mogiana has How do you react. "

"Understand, my baron!"

During the preparations for the Baron, the soldiers gradually changed into breastplates and better dwarven equipment under the command of Lion.

These troops have already begun to be semi-professionalized.

In Ryan ’s conception, the separation of soldiers and peasants was the first step in advancing his military reform, but now his financial resources are not yet capable of raising so many professional soldiers. What he has to do now is to semi-professionalize these soldiers. The profession as a soldier will gradually become larger than their main business as a serf, that is, mainly responsible for the training of the army, training two or three days a week, and the rest of the time to cultivate.

Baron ’s soldiers enjoy better meals and higher status, and more importantly, Ryan is the Holy Grail Knight, the lady ’s **** champion. The serfs in his territory are eager to offer loyalty to the Holy Grail Knight. In the country, serfs are forbidden to believe in fairies in the lake, so if you want to attract the attention of fairies in the lake, you must have a special means ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The serfs are willing to believe that they will become pilgrims in the Holy Grail or stand side by side with the Holy Grail Combat is one of the effective means. Therefore, in order to have a better life and be favored by the goddess, there are countless enrollees.

The baron encouraged the serfs to have pious beliefs.

Time passed quietly in the preparations, Mu Xilong's army of vampires slowly and firmly assembled, under the powerful undead magic of the Red Duke, the corpses in the grave gradually recovered, and the powerful blood knights and dark holy knights each attacked and seriously damaged Along the guard posts along the way and the vigilance of the Knight Kingdom.

Just over a hundred kilometers from Musilon, Bordeaux, the Duke of Bordello, was the first to feel bad. The prince and the champion of the **** Neptune Mannan have begun to fully mobilize the army of the Principality in preparation for the possible vampire threat. However, he is still a little bit undecided. The best way to fight against vampires is to clear the walls, burn all tombs, and clean up all the bones. Vampires ca n’t get the supplement of blood and soldiers. Controlling the undead army is a huge consumption.

The Duke is difficult to make up his mind, and he really wants to stand firm, and he and his Principality may not be able to slow down for several years.

Just as Mu Xilong's army of vampires gathered, the knight kingdom finally sent a positive signal.

The lake **** witch Mogianna left her tower, and she appeared in a fairy cathedral in the Principality of Carcassonne with a team of Holy Grail knights. Evil must be eliminated, for the ladies!

So, when the snow melted in March of the second year, a war seemed inevitable.

At this time, Mogiana on the road received a strange magic communication signal.

The second is more, ask for votes!
