Chapter 793, The Supreme King’s Painstaking Efforts (Second Update, Please Vote!)

PS: This is the second update today. Isn’t it too much to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass at the beginning of the month?

"This is the truth, His Majesty the Supreme King. You taught me the beginning of our conversation." Ryan said with squinting eyes. The King of Knights changed his posture and clenched the silver tableware with his hands, smiling broadly. He said with a smile: "It was you who told me to ask for 100,000 people. It was you who told me about the power of Ironhide. It was also you who said it. I thought, since you want so many people, why bother me with mobilizing an army from home?" The dwarves should solve the dwarves' problems themselves, wouldn't it be unnecessary to ask humans?"

"..." The Supreme King raised his head from the iron plate, his eyes flickered, and he waved the knife and fork in his hand without saying a word. He just motioned for Ryan to continue speaking.

However, after Ryan said these words, the High King did not eat anymore. He leaned back and leaned on the back of the seat, indicating that Ryan would speak carefully and he would listen.

"Everyone needs population, His Majesty the High King, the dwarves need it, and Britannia also needs it." Seeing that the High King was silent, Ryan finally continued the question sincerely: "One hundred thousand people are not conjured by magic, ten thousand people are not conjured by magic. People, I can regularly rotate, 100,000 people. Even if we don’t consider domestic defense, maintenance fees and supply lines, these 100,000 people will have to die here if they stay in Bafeng Mountain. I think you can understand this truth. In this dark age, every army is a valuable asset, both humans and dwarves..."

"Humans and dwarves?" The High King touched his white beard and interrupted Ryan: "Don't talk so full and so righteously. Young man, I know you helped Belegar, but do you just Not getting paid enough?”

"Oh, if you don't talk about rewards, you only talk about righteousness, not benefits, and you only emphasize justice, that's just being a hooligan. In order to expedition to Bafeng Mountain, my kingdom has lost more than 20,000 troops." Ryan also put down his knife and fork and leaned back. , said calmly: "What is a qualified king? Your Majesty, the Supreme King, do you need me to teach you?"

Look at my tactical retreat!

The High King and the King of Knights just stared at each other without saying a word.

Seeing that Ryan was quarreling with him, the High King took a few minutes to sort out his words and said with some boredom: "You may know the news about the Norscan dwarves from Belegar, or it may be from other sources. , Humph, I only know a little bit about it, how can you compare with me in this regard? I have personally been to Dulong City and met with the King of Dulong City, Torgard-The Crimson One."

"I took it for granted." Ryan chose to take a step back. All he knew was indeed what Belega told him, which was not as good as the Supreme King who had personally visited Dulong City.

The High King chuckled, "You? Tell me, an old man, why you care about the situation of the Norscan dwarves and what happened at that time?"

"I'm really curious as to why there is such a large group of dwarves that can survive in the north where barbarians are raging and chaos erodes, and still maintain prosperity and such a large population." Ryan nodded, and he did not hide his curiosity: " I once heard Brother Belega mention it, so I chased him and asked him a few more questions."

Ryan learned about the situation in Dulong City when Belegar's Queen Komanik was chatting with Sulia. Komanik complained that Belegar had borrowed troops from all the dwarf castles in the old world except Dulong City and Breeze Castle. After borrowing food and money, Belega would definitely come to ask for help if Dulong City was not too far away.

In fact, Belegar actually tried to go north, but after the army arrived in Kislev, they discovered that the troll country was full of dangers. Belegar had been trying to find a route to Dulong City, but failed every time. , and finally had to retreat to the south.

Ryan, who was interested in this, went to Belegar and asked about it, and learned about the situation of the dwarves in Dulong City. Ryan felt very strange about the situation of the Norscan dwarves. The dwarfs in the Mountain Kingdom themselves were seriously underpopulated, and there was still a group of people left. Why are such huge dwarves fighting against the northern barbarians on the Norscan front? Take it back quickly!

When fighting Chaos, the most taboo thing is to fight alone and disperse the power, because the army of Chaos is endless and can be easily defeated one by one. One of the ways to effectively defeat Chaos is to concentrate forces to form the most effective offensive, and then destroy Chaos. The commander-in-chief is killed. As long as there is no commander-in-chief, the chaos army will instantly fall apart and the demons will return to the realm of chaos.

"That's what I said." The High King nodded repeatedly after hearing Ryan's thoughts. Thorgreen said in a muffled voice: "However, Tolgard and the others don't think so. The mineral veins in Norska are really too rich. Young people , can you understand that a mountain was just a stone yesterday, but today it has turned into a mountain of gold and silver as soon as the wind of chaos blows, and there are more gemstone veins in the mountain? They are reluctant to part with it, they really are reluctant to part with it, they only have the warehouse in their heads. Fill it with gold, then build a new one, fill it more, and build it again.”

"Hey! Of course I know, but what's the use of making so much money, your life will be gone!" Ryan nodded: "In my opinion, just move inward and leave a few people to guard."

"That's right! I think so too." Thorgreen slapped his thigh hard: "Hey, you, a young man, are still thinking of me together."

"So, I think so about Badland." Ryan said, "This is the plan of the three guards of Badland."

"!" The High King suddenly raised his head. He looked at Ryan, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

Ryan remained calm and continued cutting the lamb chops.

Well, it is indeed a bit salty.

"Humph hahahahahaha!" After a long time, Thorgrin suddenly laughed loudly. The High King kept laughing while stroking his white beard. He laughed so hard that black pepper juice splashed everywhere, and his smooth white beard was dyed. It was dark, and his laughter made Ryan have to stop his movements.

The High King laughed for dozens of seconds before finally stopping. His face relaxed a lot, his blue eyes stared at Ryan, and he nodded slowly: "It seems that the news that has been spreading outside is not false. Yes, the new King of Knights is not only superior in personal prowess, but also possesses sufficient strategic vision, political wisdom and the ability to assess the situation."

"Are you testing me?" Ryan understood at this time, and the King of Knights was thoughtful.

"Do you know why I came up and told you that I want you to send 100,000 people to guard the Eight Peaks Mountain? Do you know why I emphasized the power of Ironhide?" Thorgreen nodded slightly, and the High King said to Ryan in an elder's tone: "If You foolishly told me that you were willing to raise an army as long as I paid for it. If when I talked about Ironhide, you excitedly told me to let Ironhide come, and you were not afraid of him, then this proves that you are just fighting with Baelor. Kadu is all the same, just a stupid fool. No matter how powerful this kind of person is, he is not worthy of trust and being an ally. Then I can only go back and tell all the dwarf kings that Ryan Malcador is just a fool. Husband, it’s not worth getting in touch with deeply.”

"Why do you think I might be a fool and a fool?" Ryan knew that he had passed the test of the Supreme King. The Knight King smiled and said: "I shouldn't give that impression to the outside world, right?"

"Because two fools are always attracted to each other. I haven't tried it myself. How can I be sure that you and Belegar are not two fools who are in love with each other?" The High King's expression softened and he nodded slowly. , finally fully recognized Ryan's plan: "Very good, very good. It seems that in the entire old world, the only ones who can be called qualified kings are me, Sol Green, and you, Ryan Macado."

"As for Belegar, he was probably showing off his childish ideas. He probably also hoped that the Norscan dwarves could help him recover the Eight Peaks Mountain." The High King had no doubts now. He continued, but he looked tired and confused. He was very depressed: "Don't think about it. I haven't succeeded. All you can do is think about it. There is no need to mention this matter again in the future. These guys who are not independent and unwilling to surrender would rather die in the north than Those who have returned, their presence can play a role in dispersing the forces of Chaos to some extent. How to really defend Bafeng Mountain, we still have to place our hope on the dwarves of the Mountain Kingdom and you humans."

"Therefore, as a qualified ally and a qualified king, you must have strong nerves, a will as strong as gold and iron, and your own opinions. You cannot follow others' opinions. When you have made a plan, you must not be influenced by others. You must Think about it and plan what you’re going to do from the beginning.”

"You must grasp the measure yourself. One step forward is stubbornness, one step back is weakness." Thorgreen nodded repeatedly, and said in a deep voice: "So I want to use my qualifications and seniority to overwhelm you, so I want to use experience." I'm going to test you, what is your national condition in Britannia? Haven't I seen it? I have to find out who you are!"

"Hahaha~ Now you understand? I am who I am, and I am not controlled by anyone!" Ryan sneered a few times, and he said sarcastically: "You should tell Brother Belega about this."

"I've said it, more than once." Thorgreen was stunned by Ryan's counterattack, and the High King's mood suddenly became even lower: "It's been decades, is it useful? I'll take it personally. Will it be useful if ten thousand people go to help him?"

"..." Ryan was silent. Beleja was really a disaster to the High King.

Thorgrin let out a long sigh, and seemed to have suddenly aged a thousand years: "Because Belegar, this rock-headed and idiot, can no longer change. If he keeps failing and wandering around, maybe he can get some opinions." , but he actually regained the Eight Peaks Mountain with your help. To be honest, Ryan Macado, if you do this, I really don’t know if you are helping him or harming him."

"Inflated." Ryan nodded slightly. He understood the will of the High King. After regaining the Eight Peaks Mountain, Belegar was obviously so swollen that even the High King didn't care.

"That's right, it's expanded. Hey, your word describes it very appropriately." Thorgreen nodded, and the High King looked frustrated: "It's not just Belegar, the Eight Peaks King, who is in this state? The Butcher King Grim, Torrent King Balentin, Horn King Araxon, Domar King Bagman, Iron Peak King Khazadur, Breeze King Lorek, and the kings of the Mountain Kingdom, all of them are , they only know how to hold on, they are all idiots! What will be the result of them holding on? Need I say more? If they cannot concentrate their strength, the fate of the dwarves is to perish. Without your help, the end of Belegar, the stupid ass, is I can clearly see the matter of time before he dies in Bafeng Mountain, so I will never help him again!"

"I came here this time just to see what kind of person this king of knights, who is said to be the most powerful since Arthur, is. I really didn't expect it." Thorgreen smiled approvingly: "Okay, the plan of the three guards of Badland , I passed here, if you have any questions, just come to me, Eternal Peak and Haimen Pass will try their best to help you."

"As for the future, I can safely leave Belega to you. As long as you are here, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Thorgreen stretched out his hand and pushed the iron plate: "Very good, very good. This is the best time since I succeeded to the throne. It’s the happiest time, ha! It’s not easy, with Granny on top, humanity finally has another reliable king!”

"It's an honor to be evaluated like this, His Majesty the Supreme King." Ryan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm also honored to be evaluated like this. Your wisdom surprises me."

"Hahahahahaha! Cheers to the ancestor (lady)!" Two large beer glasses were toasted, and the hops of Bagman stout were splashing.

The confrontation and testing between the king and the king was finally over.

In fact, from the very beginning, when the High King came up to speak, there were 100,000 people stationed in the garrison. When he spoke, he used his age and experience to pressure others. The two sides had already begun to test and exchange words. Ryan was obviously caught off guard at the beginning because he was not mentally prepared in advance. , and didn’t know the Supreme King well enough, so he was always taking the initiative. However, after seeing the Supreme King’s intentions later, Ryan turned from passive to active, and finally gained recognition.

If you want to realize the construction of the "Three Guards of the Badlands", you must also obtain the approval of the Supreme King. This is the sphere of influence of the dwarves.

Therefore, every word and every answer between the two kings has a profound meaning. Perhaps what many people saw and heard was just the domineering and elder demeanor of the High King. What they saw was the High King's response to the knight. The king pressed forward step by step, and what he saw was the knight king's astonishment and avoidance, but in fact, what was underneath the conversation was a fierce trial and confrontation.

If Ryan really felt offended and flipped the table when he was offended, as many people think, that would be called bravery and rage. He would not be a qualified king. At best, he would just be a keyboard warrior, trying to achieve his goals for a short time.

It served no purpose other than to make the High King look down upon him and make him appear to be no different from Belegar.

In this way, a king's feast came to an end with mutual recognition. Ryan went on an expedition, traveled long distances, and accompanied the High King. After such an incident, he really felt mentally tired. Seeing that things were almost done, he He stood up on his own initiative: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Ryan was about to walk outside.

"Oh, by the way, I heard from the engineering masters of the Haimen Pass Engineers Association that you seem to want to order a dwarf ironclad?" The High King did not keep Ryan.

"Well, yes, it's a pity that at this time last year, the engineering master said that the construction period was over." Ryan nodded: "They asked me to talk after I come back from the expedition."

"Oh, that's it." The Supreme King nodded slowly: "Then you can go and negotiate. The construction period here has been completed. As for the price, I 'think' they will give you a preferential price, don't worry."

"very good."
