Proof of the Sun King

The autumn of 2522 in the imperial calendar.

In the courtyard of Schönbrunn at the Palace of Fontainebleau.

In the fragrance of cornflowers, irises, red roses and carnations, Ryan was slowly dipping into the bath water.

The original is a little less human now. Every step he takes, he takes on the light and shadow of ultramarine. His every move is like the ancient **** of war lording over the mortal world, and like the ancient gods in the battle of elves. The carriage patrols the world with majesty.

Ryan's physique became more burly, but he deliberately suppressed his body from expanding further, because it was not yet time.

Under the streamlined muscles, countless psychic torrents are surging. Among them, the silver psionic energy is a gift from the emperor. The emperor's genes make up half of the gray knight, and those golden torrents are the last of Malcador. Compared with the decent, the power of the handprinter is actually more inclined to the abilities that evil villains should have, such as mind control, such as frantically torturing other people's souls, and for example, exiling the opponent directly into the depths of the warp in one breath .

However, the strongest ability that Ryan obtained after being promoted to a demigod is called the shadow of oblivion, which allows the primarch to summon a spirit body of his own to fight side by side with him. This spirit body has about 50% of Ryan's combat power and will Imitate Ryan to release various psionic skills and directly participate in the battle, but not too far away from Ryan.

Nonetheless, the Shadow of Oblivion may be the most precious legacy left by the Emperor and Malcador. It allows Ryan to do two things at the same time, and it can also change the situation at the most critical moment. When necessary, Ryan's entity can Swapping positions with the spirit body instantly would make Ryan lose half of his psionic energy and physical strength in an instant, but its flexibility and tactical effects far outweigh the cost.

For example, at the last moment of the Horus Rebellion, when the Emperor personally led the custodial army, the Silent Sisters, and the Mechanic Priests to fight countless Chaos Demons in the network under the palace, the original demon Draconian was almost killed on the spot. The Lord of Humans, at a critical moment, the Emperor used this move to exchange positions with the spirit body, avoiding the fatal blow of Draconian.

This is different from flashing. Flashing requires some preparation time and will be interrupted. Shadow of Oblivion will not. At any time, including the moment when Ryan is seriously injured or even dead, he can exchange with Shadow of Forgotten calmly. Dodge death at the cost of losing half of your psionic power and stamina.

Lane went through six trials and finally became a demigod. After Malcador's guidance, he easily passed five of them. He played guns in front of Khorne's seat, drank soup at Nurgle's table, and divided into Tzeentch's house. Over the loot, the emperor jumped over the gang in front of the emperor, and the ancient sage passed the business.

Only the test of Slaanesh, it took Ryan more than three months to successfully overcome.

I have to say that Slaanesh has a lot of tricks, which shocked Ryan, especially some of the unique skills of the Great Demon under his seat, which made Ryan spend a lot of energy whispering.

Like (abridged) or (abridged), even (abridged) and (abridged), even (abridged)!

In addition to the indescribable indescribable and indescribable, Slaanesh also came up with a strange trick, when a group of muscular bird demons in leather and chains blocked Ryan, boy♂next♂door and ass♂we♂can , When the fairy of the forest reached out to Ryan and made a king's invitation, Ryan believed that it was difficult for everyone to refuse.

And that song, Ryan TMD can sing.

"I can't fly, the world of flowers~ It turns out that I am a drunken butterfly~"

Ryan sang it subconsciously, then shook his head with a wry smile.

It took more than three months for Ryan to finally overcome his own shortcomings and successfully resist the temptation of Slaanesh.

The primarch began to realize that he was no longer a human, or not a complete human. The current Ryan is a combination of "human" in the concept of warp and "human" in the concept of mortal. He is still human. , but not quite mortal.

Leaning comfortably beside the large and dense bathtub, Ryan took a monocle from the tile beside the pool, leaned out, and began to read the news that Teresa and Veronica sent in from outside.

Yes, although Ryan has been in retreat for a few months, just like his father who has been sitting on the toilet for 10,000 years, Ryan also knows about the outside world. The fairy in the lake and MI7, including Talleyrand, are on time. Send the information into the training room for him to browse (if he is free), and his psionic power can also be a little bit about what happens outside.

The sequelae after the breakthrough are still there. The seven powers that are scattered in Ryan's body are scurrying around. He still needs a little time to straighten everything out, and watching Slaanesh's carnival performance for too long is dazzling. Ryan's current vision is equivalent to People with moderate to high myopia also need a little time to recover.

Furthermore, Ryan knows that even if he is the Sun King, there will always be a day when the curtain will come to an end. Kingship is not eternal, and he cannot rule Britannia forever. The kingdom of knights needs to rely on its own system and beliefs to go on.

Over the years, the knights, nobles and bureaucrats have formed a habit of "listening to His Majesty's words and doing as he says", lacking the ability to think and make decisions on their own, this time is just an experience.

There is also Devon Hill, a man who can command a soldier is a commander, and a man who can command a commander is a handsome man.

By the way, Ryan also wanted to see if there was a risk that the Old Guard might evolve into the Roman Praetorian Guard.

The first thing he opened was Beria's report.

In the report, Beria wrote that most of Estalia's borders had fallen, and the knights' army was slow to raise their own troops due to the bureaucrats' failure to make decisions, and the mobilization of the troops was slow. The millions of refugees in Estalia ended up with only about 1.1 million people, including 300,000 young men, were successfully evacuated to Brittany and are currently settled in the duchies of Beleon and Carcassonne.

Due to differences in language, culture, beliefs and living habits, Brittanians and Estalian refugees had several large-scale conflicts shortly after they came into contact, and Brittanians looked down on Estali The demihumans and Estalians also blamed the chivalrous patients for not supporting them as soon as possible, and neither of them obeyed the other.

Ryan sighed slightly, Malcador was right, conflicts between mortals due to race, country, culture, and belief often only need a little spark to detonate, and then form a chain of hatred.

Fortunately, at this time, the people of Estalia feel extremely confused about the future. It is a state of extreme trance where the country is no longer broken, and there is no hope of even recovering their homeland.

It's okay, no more fighting.

At this time, as the orthodox descendant of the Sunwatcher family, the appearance of Juan Carlos Sunwatcher quickly conquered the hearts of all Estalians, in love, Juan is Estalia A man, with great military exploits and a far-reaching reputation, the Estalians are proud of him and always regard him as their child. Yu Li, after the main blood of the Sunwatcher family was cut off, Juan was the Duke of Magritte. The legitimate heir of the family, he gave up before, but now that most of the family's blood is dead, can I pick it up reluctantly?

sure! According to the Noble Succession Law, the remaining more than 100 knights in Estalia announced that Juan was the orthodox heir to the title of Duke Magritte and swore allegiance on the spot after Juan appeared, and even Estalia was prepared Crowning Juan as Grand Duke of Estalia, a military organization "Estalia Militia" was quickly established with the support of Brittany.

For the knight aristocracy and the bureaucracy, this is the result of a game, and both parties can accept that Juan is the son-in-law of the Duke of Hagen, just like Ryan married Surya, and married our daughter, just like we are our own Now, the bureaucracy is naturally familiar with Juan, easy to communicate and control, and there is no problem with Juan's loyalty to Ryan.

The world has dropped the title of duke, and Juan himself has no reason to refuse.

But Ryan was still not satisfied.

What he originally envisioned was to redeem the military power from the knights and nobles by releasing Estalia's land ownership.

That is to let go, let the knights and nobles get enough benefits in the process of recovering Estalia, and in exchange, completely take military power and troops from the hands of the knights and nobles, and make these military nobles completely become. Simple landlord.

Don't underestimate this step. This step is very important and is the key to further centralization. Why did Ryan implement the military rank system before? Isn't it just because the rank system is a sign of the nationalization of the military?

Like Ryan, a baron could not hang the duke directly, and I am not your vassal. Change this relationship to a lieutenant colonel and an admiral on the opposite side. Try?

It is a pity that the reform has entered the deep water area. How can the knights and nobles give up the military power that has been in their hands for thousands of years? They did not resist Ryan's command of their army for the time being. One is that they have interests, and the other is that Ryan's prestige is too high and his strength is too strong. The knights and nobles do not want to oppose Ryan.

But I don't have to cooperate. This method of relying on Ryan's personal prestige is not thorough.

Even the empire on the opposite side of the mountain actually took advantage of the opportunity of the great jihad, the country was smashed, and everything was restarted, only Ludwig took back part of the military power from the military nobles.

"One generation can only do what one generation does." Ryan said with a wry smile, that's all for now.

Then came the second intelligence, concerning the war against Chaos in the north of the Empire.

The city of Kislev had already fallen under the attack of the Vilic-cursor, and Tzeentch's choice was obviously not satisfied with this achievement, and he immediately ordered to turn to the empire.

The Chaos army of more than 100,000 people went south, and the empire had less than 30,000 northern coalition forces. The 60,000 imperial army organized by Emperor Karl Franz was racing against time at all costs to reinforce the frontier. Many of the troops that set out never made it to their destination, beasts and greenskins, eager to kill, frequently hindered the advance, entire regiments were reimbursed by the spreading plague, some soldiers died of exhaustion, and were driven by despair against all odds comrades abandoned on the side of the road. Others left the army without permission and fled their homes to protect their relatives~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At this time in the north, the head coach responsible for protecting the empire was Edbrand Ludenhof, the Great Baron and Elector of Hawke. Planning a series of powerful counterattacks and flexible tactics, delaying enough time, and then finally waiting for the emperor's reinforcements, Ludenhof quickly discovered that he had become nearly one-third of Rick's guard and four The leader of the army directly under the one-third of the emperor, after receiving strong reinforcements, Ludenhof finally had the capital. In the battle of Rupert, Ludenhof led the imperial army to defeat the Legion of Cursed World, and personally used the symbol The sexual leader of Hawke blew Vilic's head with a cannon.

Velich certainly wouldn't be killed by a bullet in the head, but the mercury in his skull forced the Chaos Warlock to retreat. Losing the guidance of the master, the army of cursers collapsed in the wind, and the empire once won hope.

It's autumn now, and at least this year is over.

Everyone knows that this is not over yet. The hundreds of thousands of the World Cursor Legion are not even the vanguards of Archaen's World Destruction Army. They are just a reconnaissance team, the real vanguard army, and the deputy general Kurgan, chosen by the eternal gods. The 300,000-strong Kurgan army of the great warlord, the strong Sanctuary Keron-Conqueror, is still gathering across the mountain pass... It will arrive at the northern border of the empire as soon as the spring of next year, and the 60,000 people in the hands of Ludenhof The number of (losses in the war) is only a fraction of this vanguard.

Ryan was noncommittal, and then read the next message, which was jointly signed by Aurora and Teresa of MI7.

This is the news about the birth of "Human Sovereign Reincarnation" Wo Teng.

His appearance brought huge turmoil to the entire empire's political situation.

What kind of huge upheaval?

Thinking of Karl Franz, Emilia and Frederick, Ryan showed an interested expression and continued to read.
