Chapter 415, Thinking

"We must be cautious about this matter. Now we don't have that many troops to consume." Sitting in the black carriage, Mahhubard's face was full of resentment and hatred. After two inexplicable losses, Mu Xi Long's undead army has been reduced to its lowest point in history.

Arkhan took away most of the fresh troops when he left, leaving behind some old, weak, sick and disabled for Mahhubard. The most elite of them were two Tomb Evil Army, two Tomb Guard Corps, a group of addicts. Blood Sky Ghost and a team of Blood Knights.

There are also the last ten remaining Black Holy Grail Knights.

The Black Holy Grail Knights are very powerful, even more powerful than ordinary Holy Grail Knights. After Arkhan's special magic circle and secret method, every Black Holy Grail Knight dies, and all the strength, martial arts and combat experience left in its body are lost. It will flow back to Mahhubard and eventually allow him to complete his transformation.

But now is not the time to sacrifice all the Black Holy Grail Knights to strengthen themselves. This most elite force, Mahhubard, has another use.

"Boldriux's infiltration is not that easy. My duke, especially at the banquet site, the wizards hired by Bodrick, Duke of Bordeleau, will raise a barrier and surround the entire banquet site, without any interference. Welcome guests will be discovered immediately. If the Knights of the Black Holy Grail cannot sneak into the banquet, they will not be able to deal with the group of nobles in a sneak attack." The undead wizard Farah whispered in his dry voice: "We need to find a way to enter. The banquet scene.”

"There is only one invitation for two guests." Mashubade took out the invitation from his arms. He looked at the gilded text on the invitation and his eyes fluctuated.

He found a way to get this from Fiona through Fiona, the granddaughter of the Duke of Belion. The little girl still misses him. After he took advantage of Fiona, the girl was still stupid. She thought that he just left without saying goodbye after listening to her angry words. She waited hard for three months in Kurona before returning to Belion. The grumpy girl still refuses to believe that Mahhubard is a A degenerate and a traitor, she always believed that Mathubad was a pitiful knight-errant who was suppressed by the nobles. He should have won the crown of the Knights Conference. It was Sulia and the other great nobles who did not want to see a knight without background. The young knight came forward, and then he was captured privately.

Mathhubard also got this invitation from Fiona. Due to the revelation of Duke Theodoric, the palace of the Principality of Belion is currently in chaos. Mathhubard took the opportunity to ask Fiona to get the invitation for him. .

"One invitation is not enough for all the Knights of the Black Holy Grail to sneak into the banquet." The Necromancer shook his head repeatedly, and he said to Mathubad: "The great nobles are also brave knights of the three armies. In this country, they don't know how to ride horses and use cavalry. Nobles with guns do not exist, and there is only one chance. Once the nobles react and prepare for battle, we will miss the opportunity."

"I know! Farah, I don't need you to guide me! The godfather asked you to stay to help me destroy this country, not to let you command me!" Mathubad said with a ferocious look on his face that was so handsome that he was not human. Of course I have a way, you just need to follow my instructions."

"Yes." The Necromancer's expression changed several times, and finally he lowered his head.

"Bodryux's defense is indeed strong, but it is not impeccable." Mathubad took out the map and pointed to the top of the castle: "The wizards raised the barrier, but there will be no defense above the castle. We only need Find a way to create chaos at the banquet site, and then send you from above the castle into the castle, and you can use spells to directly teleport the Black Holy Grail knights into the banquet site, ready for massacre."

"Causing chaos at the banquet? Everyone present is..." The necromancer still felt that this method was not feasible. He shook his head repeatedly: "The people present were all nobles, wizards and guards. What kind of chaos could make them ignore the safety of the dukes? "

"There is a way. You must not know that Bordeleau has an ancestral performance, which is performed at major celebrations and banquets." Mashubade set his sights on the map, and the corners of his mouth raised high: "That's Dragon Quest."

"This is our perfect opportunity to cause chaos."

The black carriage carried dark secrets into the deep alleys of the street. Mahhubard had a foothold here, and they were ready to start preparing their plan.

…………

"The banquet is already being prepared. We have prepared hundreds of livestock for slaughter, as well as a large amount of flour, fresh vegetables and fish. Although I think there is no need to make such a big show, my father insists."

On the streets of Bordeaux, Fedmund was introducing the banquet to Ryan and others: "In addition, a famous event that has not been held again for twenty years - Dragon Quest will be held for the first time in twenty years. To perform in the ballroom of the Château de Bordero in 2016 must have been an incredible feat.”

"Oh, I have always heard about a magical dance in the empire called the Breton dance. I must try it this time if I have the opportunity." Templar Alfred looked around with interest, with a look on his face Full of expectations: "Wow, there are so many seafood products. I heard that the cod in Bordeaux has a unique flavor."

"Yes, this banquet will definitely satisfy you." Fedmund turned his attention to Ryan and Sulia. The Holy Grail Knight considered it for a moment and squeezed a smile from his face: "Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend your wedding ceremony.”

Ryan just felt it was not easy to answer this question. He just shook his head and said it didn't matter.

The young earl thought about the significance of Duke Bodrick sending his legitimate son to welcome him and take him around Bordello.

Duke Bodrick is sending a political signal, aiming to express implicit support for Ryan. His heirs have come out to greet him, which shows that in the battle for the king, the Principality of Bordeaux is on his side. , at least not against it.

The most important thing is that he can bring huge benefits, Ryan thought as he looked at the crowded castle.

So the question is, how can I obtain the title of duke before Raun inherits the throne of king?

There were so many problems, Ryan decided not to think about it for the time being. Regarding the throne, he knew that he would eventually have to discuss it with the Fairy of the Lake. However, damn it, the elven gods were at war with each other again, and a dark elf's black ark fleet was in Austria. Suan's Kingdom of Cosqui landed and poisoned all water sources, causing a plague to spread. Hoth, the high-spirited god of wisdom, proposed to use secret magic to cure the elves infected with the plague, but the Phoenix Lord Asuryan rejected it. Asuryan not only refused to let Heth treat the high elves in the Kingdom of Cosqui, but also ordered the burning of Heth's magical scrolls, which triggered a new round of disputes among the elves and gods. As the moon goddess of the high elves, Lilith had to She tried to prepare the potion herself, so she didn't show up for a while.

"Which Dukes will be arriving at this banquet? Your Excellency Fedmund?" Seeing that Ryan was silent, Sulia knew that her husband was thinking about something again, so she took over the topic.

"Lauen, Duke of Connet, Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, Berhemond, Duke of Bastogne, Fourcade, Duke of Montfort, Hagen, Duke of Gisoleaux, Alderaire, Duke of Lyonnaise De will arrive here to congratulate you, and it is said that the king's representative, Earl Taubot, will also arrive." Fedmund nodded politely to Sulia. The newly promoted Holy Grail Knight thought that Ryan's wife was indeed a great beauty. I just don’t know how Countess Eva, whom my father chose, compares to Marquise Sulia.

Fedmund took everyone around for a while and then left. The remaining ones were Ryan, Alfred, Sulia and Emilia. Sulia stood aside holding Ryan's hand, while the little maid Holding the Marquise's hand and following behind him, Alfred looked at Fedmund's leaving figure and said to Ryan: "I don't think I am his match."

"If nothing else happens, it won't take long before he will become the new Duke of Bordelao." Ryan whispered to Alfred: "It is necessary for me to establish a good relationship in advance."

"You also seek the help of the Poseidon Knights and ask them to assist you in attacking the Black Stone Stronghold?" Alfred smiled: "Good friend, how big an army do you plan to organize?"

"I don't plan to ask the Poseidon Knights to help. I just hope they don't stab me in the back." Ryan looked at the Poseidon Knights patrolling the streets. The more people the better, the more people the better in mountainous areas. The Poseidon Knights are good at naval battles. Peaceful war.

"Has that chattering dwarf king told you when to launch an attack?" Alfred then asked, as usual, Ryan's childhood playmate rarely took off his armor. Even when he came to a banquet, he still wore all his armor. Armed.

This is also a kind of asceticism. In this way, the knights of the Templar Order emphasize that victory cannot last long. As guardians of order and opponents of evil, they must always remain vigilant. The huge threat of chaos is often not Corruption and depravity from without, but from within.

Belegar-Ironhammer certainly hoped to borrow enough knights from the Kingdom of Knights to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain, but it took Ryan three full days to finally convince the king of the Angland clan. Ryan said very sincerely The duty of a knight is to protect his family and country. It is very difficult to organize a huge army of knights to launch an expedition of this scale. Even Ryan, the chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake, cannot do it. The knights must be famous.

Ryan promised Belegar that if Belegar was willing to assemble an army of dwarves to assist Britannia in conquering the Blackstone Stronghold, that stronghold would be given directly to Belegar and his Angrond clan as a temporary foothold, base, and In the future colony, after having such a fort, Beleja can gather his tribesmen, resume production, and prepare to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain.

Like the dwarves, the knights of Britannia believe in chivalry. After the dwarves reached out to help the knight kingdom solve a serious problem, Ryan had reason and an excuse to persuade the Lake God Witch Morgiana to call on the kingdom to organize a The knightly army went to help Belegar regain the Eight Peaks Mountain.

This is called a teacher's reputation.

It is indeed very difficult to convince the stubborn dwarves. Fortunately, Belegar is not really a fool, especially when he failed to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain three times. The King of the Eight Peaks Mountain, who has learned his lesson, knows that the dwarves need such a powerful heavy weapon. When dwarves and greenskins fight, they can only defeat each other. If they lose, they can't run away. If they win, they can't catch up. The main problem that they can't always win a complete victory is that the dwarves don't have cavalry.

A very important factor in the good relationship between dwarves and humans is the complementary advantages. Dwarves with powerful infantry regiments like to "cooperate" with the Imperial Knights in battle, just to make up for the lack of cavalry. Belega thought that the Imperial Knights would The knights of Retania are surrounded by a group of younger brothers. If the dwarves want one, they must have the best.

Belegar put forward three conditions: Ryan must personally participate in the attack on the Eight Peaks Mountain; all supplies and commissions when attacking the Blackstone Stronghold must be borne by the Knight Kingdom; and a knightly army must be formed to attack the Eight Peaks Mountain. The number of knights must not be less than three thousand.

In return, if the Eight Peaks Mountain is successfully recovered, Belegar promised that the Angrond clan could sign a "holy alliance" with Lion (just like the alliance signed by the Empire and the Dwarf High King) and share five points of all the wealth sealed in the Eight Peaks Mountain. one.

The terms were reluctantly negotiated, and Ryan immediately went to find his father-in-law. Francois immediately made the decision to provide the commission and materials for attacking the Blackstone stronghold. The Duke of Winford and the family of the Duke of Winford and the undead wizard Heinrich Keim came out. Kemmler has a mortal enemy, and Francois dreams about cutting the remaining half of Kemmler's head into two pieces.

"The time for dispatching troops is tentatively scheduled after next year's spring plowing. The Knight Kingdom needs time to recover. Belegar has already written to the dwarf kings and his separated tribesmen asking for help. This will take time." Ryan and Alfred said : "Be prepared first."

"Well, that's all." Alfred raised his head and found that everyone had walked to the door of a store. This clothing store had a huge bird logo, which was a pink-faced echobird hanging on a branch.

The store's signboard is a huge purple "X" ring pattern with the store name "Marc Dorcel" written on the back.

This is the famous Breton fashion brand 'Woodpecker', famous throughout the old world. Marc Dorcel is the name of the founder of this clothing store, which sells a variety of women's clothing, shoes and accessories.

"Let's go in and have a look!" Sulia and Amelia's eyes lit up when they saw this store. The countess immediately took the little maid into the store to shop. Only Alfred, who was following behind, complained to Ryan. : "By the way, why is the logo an echo bird and the founder of the store is Marc Dorcel, but we call him a woodpecker?"

"It seems to be a translation problem. There was a knight king who didn't recognize the echo bird and insisted that the echo bird was a woodpecker. As a result, the name was passed down like this. Hundreds of years later, everyone called it woodpecker. Once they got used to it, they didn't change it. "Ryan replied casually. He was familiar with this brand. Emilia and Olica's maid uniforms, stockings and high heels were all ordered from this brand.

"That's it!"

"Ah! It's you!" At this time, an unreasonable voice sounded behind the two of them: "What are two men doing here?! It's disgusting, get out of here!"
