Chapter 910, a Murky Situation (5000-Word Chapter Please Subscribe!)

When the request for help from Vosgrad Fortress was received, Plagg had no idea what was going on.

The commander in charge of Prague's army was General Pavlov, who was appointed by Empress Katalin. This general had outstanding achievements. He joined the army soon after the Red Tsar Boris Bokha came to the throne, and basically participated in all the Red Tsar's campaigns along the way. war, and later he was hired by the empire to enter the empire to help the Oster Territory cleanse the beastmen in the Shadow Forest. It can be said that he has made great achievements in battle.

And unlike the generals who were purged by Katalin after she came to the throne, General Pavlov was an obedient general who followed the rules and was appreciated by Katalin. Therefore, after the Winter War, Pavlov's status did not drop. On the contrary, he was promoted and was appointed as the defense coach of Prager and General Kislev.

After receiving Vosgrad's request for help, General Pavlov hurriedly convened a meeting with Boyer, the general and the nobles of Prager. Since he only received a verbal request for help, and the messenger was under attack The messenger left as soon as possible, so the messenger himself was not sure how many barbarians came and how elite they were. What he could tell General Pavlov was that the Vosgrad Fortress was attacked by an army with a large number of artillery. Many Chaos armies under the banner of Nurgle surrounded them, calling for reinforcements.

General Pavlov looked confused. Didn't the general think that the intelligence said that the barbarians were going to fight the dark elves? Why did he suddenly go south and surround Vosgrad Fortress?

Naturally, the messenger was not mistaken. The general also knew that the northern barbarians had no logic or credibility. However, at this time, the State Duma representative sent by the Tsarina reminded General Pavlov that Kislev's Millennium Celebration was taking place. The whole country is preparing for this major celebration. It is obviously very inappropriate to bother our great Her Majesty Katalin with this news at this time. As the commander and general of Prague City Defense appointed by Her Majesty Katalin, You should try to solve the problem yourself.

General Pavlov seemed very hesitant after hearing what the Duma representative said. He also knew that Her Majesty Katalin attached great importance to this millennium celebration. However, as a soldier, General Pavlov felt that this matter might not be what it seemed on the surface. It seemed so simple, so he sent two waves of scouts to Vosgrad Fortress to investigate the situation, while he sat and waited in Prague.

As a result, after waiting for twenty-four hours, the scouts did not come back.

What no one knew was that with such a delay, Kislev had already wasted the precious time that the Vosgrad defenders had fought for with their lives.

After twenty-four hours of no response, Plagg realized something was strange.

General Pavlov made a second order that was later considered to be absolutely stupid and wrong. He did not report the matter to the Kislev court before making a decision. Instead, he chose to follow the rules and choose from the Prague standing army. Five thousand people were mobilized from the nearby Ugor tribe and the Kislev garrison, carrying a large number of firearms to support the Vosgrad garrison.

In fact, this 5,000-strong reinforcement army was ambushed by the Chaos army on its way to Vosgrad Fortress. Many soldiers were exhausted from the rapid march and had not even had time to put on their armor. They were killed by Nurgle. The divinely chosen champion, Festus, was all annihilated.

After some time passed and there was no news from the reinforcements, Prager realized that the situation seemed to be different from what they expected.

At the same time, it was 2514 AD in the Imperial Calendar, 999 in the Kislev Calendar, October, the Old World, Britannia.

Just when Plagg's reinforcements were annihilated in the coniferous forest near Vosgrad Fortress, Knight King Lion was on vacation in Angron's manor. Of course, the king was not idle at the same time. He was just sending his The office moved to a single-family villa with a garden here in Angerang.

Ryan didn't have a God's perspective, nor did he have a full map view. He knew nothing about the situation in Kislev, which was thousands of kilometers away. The King of Knights rode Grape around the Angron Manor a few times in the afternoon, and Angron had a sparring session. After being beaten by Angron, his face was bruised, his nose was bleeding, and his body was bruised. Ryan also left a footprint on Angron's forehead and gave him his arm armor. , the shoulder armor was cracked, and the fine linen shirt and cloak lining Angron's armor were burned to a black mass.

What makes the King of Knights a little bit pained is that his son watched him being beaten by Angron until his nose bled, and he actually clapped his hands and shouted, Uncle Angron, come on!

Being a father was really unpleasant. After the spanking, Ryan found an excuse to spank little Devon Hill, and then asked Olika to deliberately add a lot of green peppers to the dinner that little Devon Hill didn't like. , making little Devin Hill scream so hot.

Lidya Su laughed so hard at this scene that the Queen found it very interesting that Ryan occasionally had such a childish side. Lidya Su finally privately signaled to little Devin Hill not to do this in the future, as it would hurt his father. Glass heart, whether it is Uncle Angron, Uncle Fulgrim, or your father, they are all your elders and should be treated equally. You have made your father sad, go and apologize to him.

The sturdy little Devon Hill quickly apologized to Ryan. The King of Knights immediately and generously forgave his son's mistake, and then made his favorite finger-sucking original chicken. This dish was also commissioned by the general political prophet of Fulgrim's Ashes Army. Invented, now the prophet has become famous throughout the old world. He gave up his previous name and changed his name to Harlan Sanders. While serving as the general political commissar of the Ashes Legion, the 56-year-old Mrs. Keesler Invented the finger-licking original chicken and opened several branches in Britannia, the Empire, Estalia and even Sartosa.

“He changed the world with fried chicken.”

————Emperor Karl-Franz’s affirmation (thumbs up)

"How is the progress in Sanguinius?" After dinner, under the autumn starry sky, in the open-air courtyard of Angron Manor, Angron asked one of the few topics that interested him.

"The soul of Sanguinius and the Phoenix Mantra Scroll have been sent to the Southern Star Pyramid of Hethiota in the Isthmus of Lustria. The Demon Toad Lord Mazda Moody will use the power of the Ancient Saint to Help Sanguinius expel the curse that plagues him." Ryan frowned: "Brother Fulgrim said that this process requires enough time, probably at least four seasons as a healing cycle, and when one cycle is over, The power of venting will definitely attract very powerful enemies, it may be Chaos, it may be ratmen, it may be dark elves or even high elves who want to know the secret."

"For sure, someone will come and try to take Sanguinius's soul. I remember that on the eve of the Siege of Terra, Karn found me and conveyed the will of Khorne to me. Khorne needs an angel, if necessary. , you can do whatever it takes, and if necessary, you can abandon anyone." Angron murmured.

"So Khorne gets the Red Angel," Llane scoffed.

"Hey, I'm not the angel that Khorne wants." Angron shook his head, and the World Eater Primarch held a grass seed in his mouth: "I'm fine now, this way, that's fine, farm, family , Leisurely, I will never do anything for my father again. That Angron has already died in Nukelia and Armageddon. Ryan, let me tell you, if one day you have this idea, I will support you, even if..."

"Brother, you have been through too much, take a good rest." Sulia recalled the recent history that Ryan told him. Because Ryan was busy some time ago, he only recently told Sulia that Angron had completely Turned into a brainless man and Shenjing Bing, playing the Eleven Killing Rule on his heirs all day long. The Emperor sent Russ and Angron to duel. Angron won the duel but lost the battle. Wolf King Russ won the battle but After losing the duel, everyone felt that they had finally won and retreated, but the problem was not solved at all.

After chatting for a while, Angron indicated that he should go and see how his pig pen was doing. Recently, a pig in the pig pen mutated and grew two heads. Angron planned to check what was going on. According to the Emperor's Imperial Guard, it seems to be an ordinary mutation.

The two-headed pig was confiscated and taken away by the Custodes, and prayers and blessings were performed in the name of the Emperor. There was no sign of corruption.

Then they are slaughtered, skinned and furred, and become a midnight snack for many people.

Little Devon Hill also said that he wanted to go and see it. Only Ryan, Sulia and Olica who were standing behind Ryan were left in the open-air courtyard.

"Ryan, whose turn is it tonight? I remember it's Orika's turn, right?" Sulia picked up the red wine glass and said casually.

"Well, yes." Ryan's expression remained unchanged. Recently, the schedule has been a bit messy. Generally speaking, it is divided between the Fairy of the Lake, Sulia, Orika and Theresa. Among them, the Fairy of the Lake has always only appeared with Sulia. , and the goddess seems to be busy planning something recently and rarely shows up, so the time is quite confusing.

As for Morgiana, who is currently busy with the autumn harvest, the church tithe is the most important income of the Fairy of the Lake Church. As far as Ryan knows, due to the bumper harvest this year, the church tithe has changed from ten to fifteen. One tax, but income does not decrease but increases.

"Then I'll go see Catherine." Lidya Su nodded.

Recently, Catherine and her child Dureny also moved into Angron Manor. Back then, Veronica's female apprentice could be said to be extremely proud. She held her child in her arms all day long to show off to everyone, which also made her Countless witches envied her good luck.

For spellcasters, pregnancy is a very, very difficult thing. Due to too many magical elements in the body, spellcasters rarely have children, and even if they want to, it is difficult. For example, Veronica and Theresa are both with Ryan. We have been together for a long time and there is no movement at all.

But the Holy Grail Knights do have an advantage in this regard. As knights blessed and strengthened by the goddess, their tadpoles are more energetic and have a certain degree of magic resistance than ordinary people.

The fact that little Devonshire's godfather Calard wanted Catherine to be his countess gave Ryan a headache, because almost all the nobles opposed it. Fortunately, due to Ryan's great prestige, everyone's opposition was not so firm, and most of them were not so determined. What the great nobles, especially Calard's superior, Duke Birhemond, means is that there is no need to be so serious about being a countess. Wouldn't it be nice to have a chief female courtier? If that doesn't work, you can designate Dureny as your first choice. The heir should find a Holy Grail Knight as his godson.

After the meal, Ryan took the time to make out with his wife. The two sneaked to the master bedroom on the second floor and spent more than an hour doing some happy things. Then Lidya Su was so tired that she took a shower and went to bed early. , it was Ryan's turn to sit in the study and continue working.

In the simple and quiet study room, Ryan sat behind the large desk, enjoying Olica's massage while looking down at the kingdom's various documents and everyone's reports.

Calard has assembled more than 8,000 troops in Curona, mainly responsible for the northern coast of Curona to Le-Angoulan. Most of the troops are still on standby on the outskirts of Curona as mobile troops. support.

After looking at the incoming intelligence, there has been no news from the barbarians. Ryan wondered whether he was a little too cautious and making a fuss. The war between the northern barbarians and the dark elves has been verified to have indeed happened. Various sources have shown that in this way.

However, this can be regarded as a means of centralizing power and a way to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. Ryan smiled when he thought of this, and did not pay too much attention to it, and put Kalad's report aside.

After reading a few more rolls of parchment and making comments on them with a quill, the door to the study room opened, and a gust of fragrant breeze came in from the outside.

The director of MI7, the Holy Witch Aurora, walked in from the door wearing a layered crystal blue and white turmeric pleated skirt. Her long black shimmering hair like a waterfall was covered by a simple diamond hairstyle. The clip is tucked behind the head, and the crystal earrings are hung with bright pearl earrings. Under the long skirt, the delicate flesh silk jade feet are stepping on the slingback black pointed high heels, and a beautiful S-shaped curve is presented in front of Ryan. Wrapped in flesh-colored stockings and illuminated by the dim lights in the room, her slender and straight calves looked even more smooth and supple. The Holy Witch had obviously put on light makeup, and her slender crescent-shaped eyes and silver eyes were exactly the same as Teresa's. The only difference is that the Holy Witch has a more mature and glamorous aura.

"Ms. Aurora, what's the matter?" Ryan looked up from behind the pile of documents.

Aurora has been doing well recently. Since Ryan came back, she has naturally become more stubborn. The voices of the court and knight nobles facing Ryan have also become louder. All this comes from Ryan's authority. This is the Holy Witch. With a deeper understanding, she and Theresa would definitely not be able to survive without Ryan's protection. The operation of MI7 has offended many people.

But since Olika came back, Aurora found that she began to suffer from memory loss again, especially after being called into the maid's room by Olika yesterday afternoon, she couldn't remember what happened at all. Finding Olika standing behind Ryan, Aurora unnaturally avoided Olika's gaze: "Ryan, there is the latest news coming from the north."

"What news?" Ryan asked casually.

"According to our intelligence from MI7 in Erengrad, it seems that the Norscan barbarians are besieging the Norscan dwarves' Dulong City." Aurora handed over a thin piece of intelligence: "The dwarves of Dulong City Warn Kislev that there is a large-scale barbarian gathering in the north. However, according to our sources, the barbarians seem to have lost two thousand people after besieging Dulong City for a full week. In addition to breaking through a line of defense and causing three casualties to the Norscan dwarves, There was nothing gained beyond ten men, and the barbarians seemed to have given up on continuing the attack, and just maintained the siege.”

"That's it." Ryan was quite serious at first, but relaxed after hearing the news later.

The large-scale gathering of barbarians and the fact that the barbarians are about to face the decisive battle with the dark elves, and the attack on Dulong City not only produced no gains but also suffered a lot of losses during the siege of Dulong City for a whole week. Ryan believes that this shows that the scale of the barbarians is not large, and the knight The king is not sure about the defense system of Dulong City, but he knows that the dwarves in Dulong City are lacking in firearm technology. High King Thorgreen told him that the few existing muskets and artillery in Dulong City are the Great Holy War. Later, the dwarves gave it to the Norscan dwarves, and the Norscan dwarves themselves could only produce the most basic dwarf muskets and ordinary cannons.

There are no iron dragon hand cannons, organ cannons, flame cannons and dwarf rotor bombers to assist in defending the city. According to the reasoning of the Bafeng Mountain Fortress, Dulong City's defense line is about the same.

"It seems that the barbarians are just a small-scale attack." Ryan said casually: "You don't need to pay special attention to it, but the information on Erengrad's side must still be kept open, and any news must be reported to me as soon as possible."

"But the cost of using magic to send messages from Erlengrad is very high." Aurora complained.

"I will give you a special fund." Ryan knew what Aurora was planning, and the Knight King said with a half-smile: "Do you have any new research?"

"The book you brought back contains a great spell about summoning the supreme ice elemental lord..." Aurora put her hands on her hips confidently: "In order to master this spell, Theresa and I need more research funds."

"Well, I will allocate another amount of money to you to save some money. Also, there must be certain results before the end of the year. I need you to provide two complete sets of ice magic scrolls." Ryan agreed, The spell caster is such a big money eater, there is no way around it, and Aurora is not spending money indiscriminately. She will make a large number of potions and magic scrolls to repay Ryan's investment.

It just means that in this process, someone like Ryan must invest a large amount of money to maintain turnover.

"By the way, Ryan, are you really planning to... let Catherine's little Bichi... I mean, let Veronica's little apprentice become the countess of Kalad?" Aurora then asked another question. Things you care about.

"If you can, why not?" Ryan smiled.

Aurora suddenly felt like there was a fire in her heart rushing to her head!

hateful! Even that little bitch Catherine could have given birth to a child, who might become a countess!

But Teresa and I...

No, I have to talk to Theresa about this again. Looking at Ryan's handsome appearance and extremely majestic heroic aura, Aurora made a decision in her heart. For the future of her and Theresa, she couldn't go on like this. .

We should also start preparing for alternative plans.
