Proof of the Sun King

Four years have passed since the Bafengshan Great Expedition.

Four years may be enough to turn a group of human recruits into seasoned veterans, and a young man with fluff on his lips into an elite who has been tested by blood and fire, but it is only four short years for the dwarves.

According to the information brought back by Lucien, Bellegar actually did the following things in the past four years.

The first is to resume the excavation of a small part of the Bafengshan mine. Bellegar personally led the army and miners to go deep into the ground to explore many mines. Most of the mines were blocked with explosives and runes, but there were also a few. Parts of the ore veins have resumed mining, and this operation alone took the Eight Peaks dwarves two years.

The second thing is to rebuild the brewery, weapon workshop, barracks, temple and palace. When Lucien came back, the dwarves of the Eight Peaks had only just completed the brewery and weapon workshop, if it wasn't for Lucien's order Human troops and craftsmen were recruited to assist, and there was not even a shadow of the barracks.

The third thing is what Lucian said, the security battle around Bafeng Mountain has been fought for hundreds of times, basically all the nearby Skaven and greenskins have been cleaned up, and the new sentry system It has also been established, and Bellega expects that there will be no more enemies in the next ten years.

The dwarf race is indeed a lot of hardships. The most terrible thing is that the dwarves do not have the paradise like the high elf Ulthuan, nor do they have the ultra-high fertility rate like the dark elves. The population continues to decrease, and the number of newborns cannot keep up with the population loss. In the case of numbers, the decline of the dwarves has become inevitable.

However, it is much better to have human assistance now. Don't underestimate human beings. The growth rate of human population is only comparable to greenskin and rat people.

"Lucian, let me ask you, what should I do if the Badlands Three Guards encounter a large-scale greenskin attack?" Ryan began to test Lucian.

"Resistance step by step, and gradually stick to a few important strongholds." Lucien continued: "You must preserve enough strength to fight in the desert, but more importantly, you must pay attention to making the green skin feel 'boring', that is, the connection is hard. Fortress, fight a dull battle, so that the green army will soon collapse without a fight."

"Very good." Ryan continued, "What if the Greenskins and the Skaven Skaven formed a coalition and attacked together?"

"Abandon the Iron Guards and the Armory Guards, retreat to the Eight Peak Guards with all their strength, and immediately send someone to ask for help from the Supreme King of Dwarves, the King of Haimenguan, and even the Empire." Lucian said seriously: "It is not a wise move to rashly fight in this situation, but We can still make a difference.”

"What if the undead attack with the greenskin and the rat people?" Ryan disagreed.

"Then contact Kaleda, the queen of Lebaras! Even other tomb kings, the enemy of the enemy is the friend." Lucien immediately gave the answer without thinking: "The undead, the greenskin and the rat man can't be A stable alliance structure, the key to breaking the situation lies in how to use diplomatic means to draw more allies for oneself, and how to break the ties between each other. In this case, military arrangements are secondary. already."

"Okay!" Ryan nodded slightly, the king of knights thought that he was indeed a knight from Francois, and his every move had the demeanor of his father-in-law, even though Lucien's military capabilities were far from his father-in-law's. It is far away, but he is still young after all, and he has inherited the ruthless methods of his old husband in domestic affairs and diplomacy.

Ryan had the answer in his heart.

"It's been hard to come back from the expedition." Ryan smiled at Lucien: "How many people are willing to return to Britania? How many people are willing to stay in the badlands?"

"About five to five." Orika brought a cup of cappuccino to Lucian, and Lucien was immediately honored. This was the drink personally delivered by His Majesty's personal maid. Saying thank you to Olika: "Thank you, Ms. Olika."

Olika smiled sweetly, no one knew what the dark elf was thinking.

"Okay, let me arrange for the group of people who are willing to return to Brittany." Suria took the initiative to take the task, and the queen couldn't help laughing: "As for the recruits, you don't have to worry about the number of recruits this time. It will be far more than you need, but it may be a little troublesome to manage, but it's okay, Ryan and I will fully support you."

"Yes." Lucian had just returned from the dust, and he didn't know much about what happened in the country recently. The commander of the Badlands heard that he was not worried about the recruits, and his face looked much better. The Badlands was indeed a place with harsh environments. Those who have to suffer, the soldiers have always complained a lot, and they only insisted on the condition of a good salary.

After Lucien went down, Ryan and Suria were sitting on the side of the reception room. Suria was brewing black tea gently. She was very familiar with Ryan and knew that Ryan was thinking about things, so he didn't talk to him, but instead Looking at Olika, he said, "Where's Sylvia? She seems to be busy recently? Did you arrange it?"

"She has one last lesson to attend, I promise it will be soon, ma'am." Olika smiled sweetly: "She will be an excellent female courtier, I promise."

Surya wanted to ask again, but Ryan had already said, "Then, the list of ten marshals has been decided."

"Have you made up your mind? Darling." Surya's attention was taken away.

"Well, I've already thought about it all." Ryan nodded.

"Then let's put it in order."

…………I am the dividing line in order of priority…………

The ceremony for the canonization of the ten marshals is getting closer and closer, and all the major forces have sent messengers to congratulate and watch the ceremony.

In the past few years, Brittany's momentum has been extremely large, and it has a righteousness in hand. Most of the order forces have sent messengers. Whether there will be some changes in domestic and foreign policies.

And on this day, the imperial envoy Count Metternich also came to Curona, the capital of Brittany.

What greeted him happened to be the chief foreign minister of Lane's court, Talleyrand with a precious walking stick in his hand.

"You screwed up, dear Talleyrand." Metternich said angrily when Talleyrand appeared, "I've helped you so much, and you haven't even paid a little in return, sir, That's not how business works."

"I've already helped you a lot, Count Metternich." Talleyrand leaned on crutches and came up to embrace him warmly: "I persuaded His Majesty not to annex Kislev, I persuaded His Majesty to lend money to the Empire, and even more so. I persuaded His Majesty to take a good rest and stop using swords, you must thank me."

"I'm afraid you don't know?" Metternich smiled when he heard the words: "I persuaded His Majesty the Emperor not to impose import tariffs on your Brittanian crops, this is all for the sake of the human world. Unity, I think you should thank me even more."

"But I remember that the two sides will not impose additional tariffs on food. Isn't it written in the "Taibu Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Aid Treaty"?" Talleyrand motioned for Metternich to follow him, and the high elves laughed: " I don't remember it being your credit."

"Food, not agricultural and sideline products, including those cash crops."

"Then I think you must thank me too. I persuaded His Majesty Ryan to stop holding you accountable for sending people to spy on our intelligence." Talleyrand said playfully: "Otherwise, if I accuse you, the empire will definitely I won't protect you."

"Then, Mr. Talleyrand, you should thank me even more." Metternich did not give in at all: "Isn't it my credit that such an expensive pastry shop was not closed down?"

"Then... are we even in this wave?"

"That's it."

"Hahaha!" The two foreign ministers shook hands: "Please! The reception banquet is ready! Metternich, my friend."

"Please!"

At this time, the Curona Palace was already full of friends, and all the dignitaries were present, including the major forces of the old world, and even the High King of Dwarves sent people to congratulate, but the only ones who did not come were the dwarves of Bafeng Mountain, Bellegar A simple message is enough to participate: "We and Brother Ryan don't have to make up those fakes!"

It is worth mentioning that Alaros didn't come because of his injuries. In his place was the famous wood elf spellsinger and prophetess Liv. Her braids always reminded Ryan of others.

Veronica, Teresa, and Aurora, who are immersed in research at the sorceress assembly, have arrived. The three witches are all dressed in costumes. It is indeed as Teresa once worried that once there are enough witches. Resources and wealth, the witch's life is basically filled with endless magic experiments and meditation, but the time to spend with Ryan is reduced.

By the way, Aurora turned blue with anger when she saw Catherine dressed in a noble Countess costume, so she had a stinky face to everyone including Ryan, exuding a sense of alienation. Entering the frigid atmosphere.

"I didn't expect that this direct disciple of mine would be able to become a real countess." Veronica watched Catherine holding Callard on the stage, with mixed feelings, dressed in the classic dark butterfly pure black of the Brittanian court. The female speaker in a foreign dress with black suspender stockings and silver rhinestone high heels secretly took Ryan's arm: "So what?"

"Why?" Ryan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"So what about my lady's title?" Veronica said aggressively: "Catherine is already a countess, so should I at least be a marquise?"

"Catherine will be the Marchioness soon, Veronica." At this moment, the fairy Lilith of the lake and the knight queen Surya appeared. The goddess and the female knight held hands and wore the same set of charming clothes. Lin Huanlu's pastel dress, Qiu Wan's long-shouldered silk dress and white unicorn fleece translucent pantyhose, with black and gold waistcoats, looked like a pair of (actually) good sisters.

The appearance of the goddess and the female knight detonated the audience. Everyone stood up and saluted. Only the king of knights, Ryan, thought about how this dress looks like a cow.

Well, two big golden and white silk cows! Ryan secretly rejoiced: It's all mine!

"Hey? Marquise!" Teresa's dress is similar to Veronica's, except that the sorceress wears her favorite gray ultra-thin fluorescent pantyhose, and does not always like short skirts and short skirts like Veronica. With the low-cut dress, she was very surprised, so she turned her attention to Ryan: "Really? Ryan? Is Catherine really going to be a marquise?"

"Well, it's true." Ryan nodded slowly.

"Then do I want the title of a Duchess?" Veronica put her hands on her hips, and Witch Garland directly reached out to Ryan to ask for it: "I followed you so early, you didn't even give me a Duchess? "

"Whose duchess do you want to be?" Surya said to Veronica with a half-smile, "Ms. Veronica, do you want me to arrange it for you?"

"That... that's fine." Veronica automatically lowered her head when facing Suria, and the female speaker smiled embarrassingly: "I'm very satisfied now."

"It's starting!" Morgiana couldn't help but take the initiative to speak. She also spent her energy to dress up today, but Ryan didn't pay attention to her at all, which made the Lake God Witch very upset, but she was powerless to object. The decision of the fairy in the lake, let alone appearing too close to Ryan in public, can only strengthen her sense of existence in this way: "Everyone is already in place."

It is indeed tiring to have a lot of women. This is when Olika and Sylvia are both absent, Ryan thought to himself, and he nodded to indicate that he can start.

First of all, under the watchful eyes of the public, Ryan officially canonized Callard as the Marquis of Garamente.

The difference between a marquis and an earl before is not the amount of land, but whether it has the power to form an army and start a war on its own. Callard has proved his loyalty and reliability with his series of actions. It is reasonable to confer a marquis. In , he will be mainly responsible for the vigilance of the Arden Forest Beastman tribe and as the second-line vigilance of the Grey Mountain Watch.

Then the Fairy of the Lake appeared in person and awarded Callard the highest Lady of the Lake Medal, the highest honor of chivalry.

Immediately afterwards, Lane, the fairy in the lake, Suria and Morgiana, as the symbols of the highest power in Brittany, began to award the ten marshals.

The luxurious big box was opened, and the ten golden dwarf master-level Seiko rune marshal scepters inside caused cheers from the audience. Even the always calm old man François couldn't help but stood up from his seat in surprise.

This marshal's scepter is more expensive than an entire winery!

Ryan began to pronounce his name.

"Lord Belhemond!"

"Yes!"

Beheimund stepped on the stage arrogantly, a brand-new marshal's dress, the marshal's medal and the marshal's scepter were held by the fairy in the lake and handed to him.

As the first marshal, Berhemond is basically not controversial. First of all, he is a direct descendant of the first generation of knight king Arthur. It is not bad, it is reasonable for him to be the first marshal.

"Mr Francois!"

"Yes!"

The old man walked up the steps full of joy and elegance, took the whole big silver plate from the hands of the fairy in the lake, and very politely gave a gentleman's thank you gift.

There is nothing controversial about Francois being the second marshal. His father-in-law's strength is at the pinnacle of the sanctuary. He strives for victory in a stable battle. He has undergone many changes. It is Ryan's staunch supporter all the time. Of course, Ryan has never treated him badly~www.wuxiaspot.com~François has enjoyed the most dividends and the most benefits during Ryan's entire rise. Of course, when Ryan proposed When the governor system was established, the father-in-law was also the first to support it, because the benefits he received far outweighed the losses of giving up part of the ruling power.

After the two marshals went down, the choice of the third marshal was full of controversy.

Who will it be? Everyone's eyes were fixed on the king of knights who was about to call his name.

"Mr. Boderick!"

It's him! It was him!

Not Lawn, not Bertrand, nor the recently favored Callard, but the duke of Boldero, who has double faith, or the God of the Sea Mannan, the God-chosen champion? !

The political meaning conveyed here made many people present frown.

However, the awarding process will not stop. The Duke of Boderick stood on the stage with his head held high in the applause and joyful eyes of his son Frederick, and took the Marshal Medal, the Marshal's dress and the Marshal's scepter from the Fairy of the Lake. He handed the big silver plate to his son and was about to say something, but Ryan took the initiative to hold his hand: "Mr. Federmond, you... should not Can fly a dwarf gyrocopter, right?"

"Of course not, why did Your Majesty ask this all of a sudden?" Duke Bodrick's face was full of strangeness: "Furthermore, I have visited and operated on the Enterprise. The dwarf rotorcraft is so small, I can't sit in it."

"That's good, that's good." Ryan said seriously: "That thing is unstable and prone to accidents. Let the dwarves leave the matter of flying the plane."

"Yes, I will obey His Majesty's instructions." Bodrick replied in a low voice with doubts in his heart.

"You still want to be a marshal in such a low voice?" Ryan pretended to make things difficult.

"Yes! Obey, Your Majesty, instruct!!!"

"Okay! Next!"
