Chapter 114, The Griffin's Big Opening
Ryan immediately went downstairs and rushed to open the 'door'. Pinshu.com
The big door opened, and a dozen or so Griffin Knights stood at the door. Standing behind the knights was the figure of Ivan Ferdinand, the Duke of Griffin. He was wearing a set of dark gold plate armor, With a handsome face, flowing black long hair, and holding the Griffin True Silver Holy Sword at his waist in his right hand, he stood at the gate of Ryan's house, looking at him with a smile.
In addition, a young knight who seemed to be in his thirties was also wearing Griffon full body armor, standing beside the Duke of Griffin, and when he saw Ryan coming out, he shouted happily: "Oh! Ryan! It's been a long time Gone!"
"Oh! Anton!" Ryan trotted out happily, and first gave the young man a big hug: "It's been a long time no see! Ryan!"
Count Anton Ferdinand, the eldest son of the Duke of Griffin, is thirty-three years old this year.
The two hugged, and then Ryan turned around and looked at his godfather: "Long time no see, Ivan!"
"Long time no see, my godson!" The Duke of Griffin opened his arms towards Ryan, and the Primarch hugged his godfather: "Ivan! I didn't expect the empire to send you here."
"Stinky boy, I have done a lot of great things recently, and His Majesty asked me about it, saying that your godson is really amazing." The Duke of Griffin hugged Ryan, and then said maliciously in his ear: "But you little bastard It's really embarrassing for me to be chosen by Mrs. Hu."
"Uh uh uh..." Ryan was a little guilty and embarrassed. He knew that he had switched to the Lake Fairy's subordinates. There were two people who were sorry, one was his adoptive father Norman, the other was his godfather Ivan, and the other was his adoptive father Norman. It was the White Wolf Knight, and it was he who led Ryan on the road of the White Wolf Knight.
Godfather Ivan had been to Nord when Ryan was a child. After seeing Ryan's amazing talent and excellent qualities, he officially accepted Ryan as his godson when Ryan was eight years old and personally taught Ryan military knowledge and cultural accomplishment.
As a result, Ryan has now turned to believe in the "daughter" of the lake fairy and has become the "goddess" of the "daughter" of the lake fairy, which means that he will enter the core layer of Britannia in the future, and the Duke of Griffin accepted him as his godson. "Being an enemy", so Ivan will have some opinions, and Ryan is also a little guilty.
"Anyway, we'll talk about this later, Ryan, let's go for a walk in the city with me!" The Duke of Griffin patted Ryan on the shoulder heavily.
"it is good!"
Ten minutes later, Ryan was walking on the streets of Marienburg on a fierce war horse.
In the sky, several griffins roamed the clear winter sky of Marienburg. They glided recklessly and howled angrily. Whenever they approached the ground, they always elicited bursts of screams and admiration.
On the ground, the Griffin Knights marched through the streets. The elite Griffin Knights wore plate armor and held lances. The flags of the Empire's double-headed eagle and the Griffin Knights were raised high in the sky.
The first row is a few griffins. This legendary creature is only seen in the royal zoo of the empire even by the nobles of Marienburg. The real griffin riders ride on the tall and mighty beasts. , each of them is at least a strong person who passed down the ranks, exuding a powerful aura. After them, dozens of half-griffin knights followed closely. Half-griffins are the product of hybridization, although there are no griffins As tall and ferocious as a vulture, the size of these half-griffins is still a full circle larger than ordinary war horses.
Fort Marienne was boiling, and the citizens rushed out to watch. When Ryan followed Ivan to join the team, the crowds on both sides of the road were already densely packed, and the iris guards of Fort Marienne had to dispatch all their strength to maintain order.
The citizens of Marienburg were stunned for a moment when they saw this legendary army. They had never seen such an 'elite' army. In the weather of February, the cold air scraped people's faces like sharp knives ,
However, the Griffin Knights and their mounts held their heads high, straightened their waists, and raised their sharp lances to the sky. The fierce griffin and the fierce half-griffin walked forward slowly, and the face of each griffin rider was like a sculpture.
This is a truly powerful army. Every Griffin Knight needs more than ten years of training to take shape. Only the Empire can afford such a powerful monster army.
While walking, the team of knights rotated tightly and seamlessly like gears. The uniform team of knights seemed to crush all the enemies in front of them. The guards bossing around the citizens are like eggplants beaten by frost, limp, and dare not speak loudly anymore.
This is the Griffin Knights, one of the three major knights in the old world!
This is the superpower of the empire's bottom of the box!
This is the army of our empire!
The townspeople of Marienburg froze, as if bewitched, followed by utter cheers and frantic shouts, cheers, drum noises, and shouts from the time the Gryphon Riders emerged until they drifted into the next block. The sound swept Marienburg like a 'tide' and echoed in the sky of the city.
What are green skins worth? The Lord Griffin is here! The Empire's Griffon Knights are here to support Marienburg!
The empire has not given up on us!
The citizens who were simply happy and cheering, the nobles and merchants of Marienburg didn't think so anymore. These people looked at the Griffin Knights with mixed feelings in their hearts, and the expressions on their faces were both expectant and defensive.
The nobles didn't expect that the empire would actually send out the Griffin Knights, which were under the pressure of the box. Now it seems that there is no need to worry about the safety of Marienburg, but now what the empire wants to do?
Ivan, the Duke of Griffin, rode his huge Griffin Beast Calamity and walked in front of all the knights. The giant Griffin roared, and the cavalrymen of the Iris Flower Guard fell off their horses one after another, and the mercenaries were ashamed. Seeing his horse lying on the ground, trembling in the face of the disaster of wild beasts.
The Duke of Griffin gave these soldiers and mercenaries a disdainful smile, and then he pulled the reins, and the plague of beasts flew high into the sky, flying straight towards the city hall of Marienburg.
At the 'gate' of the city hall, the lower chambers of Marienburg are already waiting for the arrival of the Duke of Griffin. They are standing in the square by the 'gate' of the city hall. After personally leading the Griffon Knights to help, I was really upset.
What they waited for was not the airborne Duke of Griffin, but a large flag that shot straight down from the sky and made a loud noise in the winter sky. The flag pierced the air and made a tearing sound.
"Boom!" The square was full of smoke and dust, and the nobles of Marienburg had to retreat again and again, looking a little embarrassed.
The flagpole pierces straight into the ground of the square, the big flag is painted with a golden double-headed eagle, and the symbol of the empire flutters in the wind at the gate of Marienburg City Hall, and then the huge griffin and beast The disaster slid down from the sky and landed in front of the nobles of Marienburg: "Gentlemen, good afternoon!"
The Duke of Griffin jumped down from the back of Calamity of Beasts, his legs had just touched the ground, and the knights of the Griffin Knights had already entered the square at the gate of the city hall.
"Your Excellency Ferdinand, what exactly are you trying to do?!" Before the Duke of Griffin had time to speak, Baron Greymeier, a member of the Marienburg House of Representatives, immediately walked over. Great humiliation: "You actually use this method to humiliate us, don't you, Sir Ferdinand, have you not learned etiquette?"
"Etiquette?" The Duke of Griffin raised his head, looked at Baron Greymire, and said unconsciously: "I don't know if I broke that etiquette? Can this gentleman teach me?"
Baron Greymeier immediately pointed to the golden double-headed eagle battle flag that made a huge noise at the gate of the city hall: "Such actions are regarded as a declaration of war!"
"Oops!" Grand Duke of Marienburg Vander Gouber-Schulz's complexion changed slightly: "Greymeier is impulsive."
"Declaration of war? Baron Greymeier, I will give you one last chance to sort out your language." Who knows that Ivan didn't pay attention to Baron Greymeier's warning, but asked all the Marienburg nobles present: "Tell me Me, sir? What country is Fort Marien in?"
The councilors looked at each other without saying a word. The impulsive Greymeier suddenly realized something. The baron's face turned pale and he retreated again and again.
"Tell me! The founding ceremony compiled by His Majesty Ludwig stipulates that Marienburg enjoys autonomy, but! Yes! Which country is Marienburg the territory of? Please tell me, gentlemen?" Ivan walked to In front of Baron Greymeier, he looked down at him: "As the Griffin General appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, I erected the Empire's double-headed eagle flag on the territory of the Empire. What is Baron Greymeier's opinion on this? "
Every movement of Ivan and the sharp eyes passing by, the space has been slightly collapsed, and the light has become dim under Ivan's movements, leaving behind an unfathomable darkness, which tells everyone The Duke of Griffin has entered the sanctuary level.
Watching several huge griffins charge into the city hall square with their heads held high, and seeing dozens of half-griffin knights pouring into the city hall from all directions, approaching him, Baron Greymire and the councilors of Marienburg all turned their faces Color' pale, they know, this is a warning from the empire.
Having money doesn't really allow you to do whatever you want, at least the nobles of Marienburg can be sure that all their "private" troops and all the guardians of Marienburg will come out , They are not the opponents of the Griffon Knights and the Griffin Duke.
The Grand Duke of Marienburg came with a sigh, and he said to the Duke of Griffin: "Greymire is a little confused. Marienburg has been part of the empire since Charlemagne, and has always been."
"On behalf of the councilors of Marienburg, I welcome the arrival of His Excellency Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of Griffin!" The Grand Duke of Marienburg first welcomed Ivan, the Marienburg MP whose momentum had been shattered They also welcomed Ivan's arrival together, and everyone was forced to reiterate: Despite its autonomy, Marienburg is still an inalienable part of the empire.
Ryan and Ivan's eldest son, Anton, stood in the distance, watching his godfather showing off his muscles, and smiled helplessly: "Godfather is still so mighty."
"These business princes are really too arrogant, this time my father wants to beat them hard." Anton held the long sword, his eyes glowed dangerously: "A few years ago, due to the political turmoil in the empire, These business princes have really had a good life for a few days, but it is different now, under the hands of the new emperor, the empire has begun to stabilize, so my father thinks it is time to "take out" and educate them."
"Ah~ okay." Ryan shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked Anton, "So the godfather led the reinforcements this time?"
"Well, that's exactly what His Majesty the Emperor meant." Anton suddenly patted Ryan and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Ryan, you've been really showing off recently, and I can't help but want to be with you." paddle."
"It's okay to draw, provided that you don't bully me with your griffin." Ryan can feel the danger from Anton's body. The eldest son of the Duke of Griffin is weaker than him, but he won't lose too much.
"Hahahahaha~" The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Speaking of which, how many people did the godfather bring to support Marienburg this time?" Ryan remembered something important: "According to the reports from the scouts, the number of greenskins gathered in the Jinte Mine has exceeded 10,000, and there are still more It is estimated that the number of the last greenskin army is at least 30,000."
"We brought three thousand people this time." Speaking of the specific number, Anton was a little embarrassed.
"Three thousand people? Anton, are you kidding me?" Ryan opened his mouth. No matter how 'elite' these three thousand people are, the number is really too small.
"The horse is facing the 'spring' plowing, and the number of soldiers we can recruit will be greatly reduced. Not long after the rebellion was suppressed in Reikland, the troops in many places cannot be moved lightly, and..." The eldest son of the Duke of Griffin narrowed his eyes. Eye: "When the brigade reinforcements will arrive, it depends on the conditions that father negotiated with these business princes."
"Well!" Ryan understood what Anton meant. If the conditions were negotiated well, there would be a steady stream of follow-up reinforcements. If the conditions were not negotiated well, the follow-up reinforcements "Mao" would not be seen.
Next, in the city hall of Marienburg, Ivan the Griffon and the diplomats sent by the empire had a frank, efficient and constructive discussion with the members of the House of Commons in Marienburg.
The conditions offered by the empire are as follows.
"1. Marienburg must reduce at least 80% of its huge trade deficit with the Empire within the next 20 years."
"2. The goods exported to Marienburg by the emperor directly led by Rick enjoy preferential tariffs, and the specific amount must be negotiated with the empire."
"3, Marienburg must open the market to the empire, and must not oppose or obstruct imperial official investment in Marienburg."
"4. All the military expenses for this dispatch will be borne by Fort Marien, and Fort Marien will have to pay at least 50,000 gold marks for the dispatch."
"5, the empire will send troops to ensure the safety of Fort Marien."
The MPs in Marienburg were stunned.
What condition is this?
This condition is simply a griffin's big mouth!
