Proof of the Sun King

The imperial calendar year 2524, autumn.

In the Principality of Montfort, the mountain road leading to the Axe Bite Pass is full of refugees who fled from the empire. They lined up in a long line of nearly one kilometer. The mountains hundreds of meters high are insignificant. As the most important trade route of the Empire and Brittany, the Axe Bite Pass has been operated for thousands of years. It is wishful thinking to accept so many refugees in one breath. Montfort Duke Ford did not like so many people from the Empire pouring into his territory. As we all know, the Principality of Montfort is not a fertile and wealthy principality. Duke Ford was very dissatisfied with why so many refugees came from the Empire.

The fortified fortress with a height of dozens of meters is covered with the army of Brittany. In addition to the defenders of the Duchy of Montfort, the king's flag of Brittany is also erected, and the flag of the sword and the iris flower in Lane's book is erected. Standing on the castle of Montferre, there is also the tricolor of the Old Guard.

With the arrival of the year 2524 of the imperial calendar, the situation in the old world is already in danger. The Chaos army in the north, led by Archaon's adjutant Keron the Conqueror, has continuously stormed along the golden fortress. The imperial army is under the emperor Karl Franz Under the leadership of the king, it was hard to support. Due to the solidity of the golden fortress and the help of Vlad's undead army from time to time, the empire could barely resist the attack of the Chaos army.

But the real problem appeared behind the empire. With the reduction of grain production again this year and the continuous rampage of beastmen and greenskins, with the chaos in the empire and the inexplicable appearance of many chaotic war gangs from the forest, the logistics of the empire and The law and order suffered the most severe challenge, and most of the energy of the imperial army was put in the north, and the emperor was unable to solve the problems in the rear.

The supply of food and military salaries made the empire's finances stretched, and Emperor Karl-Franz had no choice but to announce the introduction of new taxes, which included the following:

New head tax: levied once every six months, mainly for urban residents, the tax rate for men is two silver coins, and the tax rate for women is one silver coin.

Cow head tax: levied once every three months, mainly on farmers, a farmer has to pay six copper coins for every cow he owns.

Dinner tax: levied once a day. The objects of the levy are small traders, taverns and restaurants in towns. As long as there is a place to sell food, the tax must be levied. The tax is 3% of the price of the food as an example.

Window Tax: Tax every building in the city, the logic of taxation is that one window is taxed once.

Belt tax: A tax is imposed on fat people. When entering the city, soldiers will measure the waistline of citizens. The thicker the waistline, the heavier the tax, ranging from 1 copper coin to 2 silver coins.

Liquor Tax: An additional tax is imposed on various wineries and taverns within the Empire, even on buyers and drinkers.

These types of taxes are relatively typical. These taxes are collectively referred to as the "Three Golds in the North" or "Three Payments in the North", which are respectively "New Gold (anti-mixed funds, "Suppression Gold (domestic security funds, "Lianjin ( for training and forming new armies,

The new taxes placed a very heavy burden on the commoners of the Empire, especially as the food crop continued to fail, but everyone silently endured it.

At the same time, the Imperial Court formulated a new "Conscription Code", 68,000 soldiers once again drove to the northern front, of which 20,000 were provincial troops on the border between the Empire and Brittany, the southern border of the Empire and the Black Fire Pass of Ivey Territory, and 8,000 The Brunswick, Riker led city defense forces and patrols, 40,000 recruits, two-thirds of these recruits are under the age of 18, there is a serious lack of experienced veterans and officers to command, but also lack of weapons and equipment, Nur is unable to provide new equipment for so many armies, except for the limited production capacity.

And the most troublesome thing is more than that. The empire's war horses have also begun to be in serious shortage. There are many signs that the empire has begun to be unable to support its northern defense line, and the war will quickly spread to the entire empire.

Unstoppable panic.

So, where else in the old world is safe?

There is no doubt that there is only Brittany. A large number of imperial civilians and many imperial nobles came from the axe with their families and tried to enter the Brittany border to seek asylum.

This makes Brittany feel very embarrassed. Chivalry and chivalry are the national policy and national image of Brittany. The Kingdom of knights has no reason to refuse refugees' asylum requests, but from the king of knights down to The serfs have calculated the accounts very clearly. You didn't come when we fought **** battles against the Skaven and Prince Sigwald, but now you come when it's safe?

The Duke of Montfort and the Duke of Palaon, Casson, developed new customs clearance standards. All imperial people who want to enter Brittany need to pay "head tax", "lijin" and "pass customs", but if the imperial refugees can Prove that you have skills, such as being a priest, a veteran, a miner, a hunter, a doctor, a scholar, and Brittany's door is still open.

Of course the most important are the Apothecary, Armorer, Bowmaker, Brewer, Scribe, Carpenter, Cartographer, Jewel Cutter, Musketeer, Herbal Merchant, Street Vendor, Shipbuilder, Blacksmith, Mason, Tailor and Weapons Craftsmen, these craftsmen are considered the most precious wealth of the old world, Brittany not only does not want them a penny, but also directly arranges accommodation, work and provides two months of free meals.

Looking at the long list, Duke Ford's face almost crooked.

The Axe Bite Pass has operated as an ancient plank road for the empire and Brittany for a whole thousand years. Its road is still very easy to walk compared to other old world mountain roads. Because of this, the castle of Montferre and the Helm on the opposite side of the mountain. At the same time, Gart was attacked by the plague coalition (Skaven + Nurgle tribe), and the Skaven seemed to have no idea how to send an entire Norsca tribe of Yankees to the Grey Mountains.

Montfort immediately asked Sun King Ryan for help. Ryan didn't say much. He immediately led the reorganized Old Guards, Cold Creek Guards and 1st Guard Lancers to Montfort and saw Ryan and the old guards. The army's tricolor appeared on the field, and the Skaven and Nurgle followers were frightened and fled into the mountains on the spot.

It is said that from the Skaven, Ryan received a new title "仏の戦 ghost".

The current situation is that there is no enemy at all who wants to be hostile to Ryan, except for the greenskin group of fighters, the Khorne believer's crazy group and the Slaanesh believer's group of fun people.

The threat of Montfort was instantly relieved, and Helmgart on the other side of the mountain was under the full attack of the Skaven and the Nurgle Corruption Horde.

However, Helmgart did not fall. At the most critical moment of the city, five heroes stood up and saved the city.

They are the Imperial Captain Marcus Kluber, the Silver Hammer Templar Victor Saltspiret, the Wood Elf Ranger Kerillian, the Dwarf Ranger Bardin Goreksh and the Light Fire Witch Sienna-Fignassas.

These five heroes thwarted the Skaven's plan to destroy Helmgart again. They even defeated the Nurgle wizard, the Nurgle champion, the Skaven warlord, and then in turn went through the portal to Norsca to destroy the The Skaven's teleportation device then returned to destroy the Thirteenth Grey Prophet Rascone just moments before the portal collapsed.

This is a miracle. Thanks to the efforts of these five heroes, Hemgart did not fall. They saved more than 50,000 lives. A legion led by them temporarily took over part of Helmgart.

By the way, the first thing Amanrique did when he went to Helmgart was to build a chapel of the fairy in the lake.

All in all, Britannia is now in a very tense and alert calm. The church of the fairies in the lake and the bards hired by the nobles are out and about, preaching how many crises the old world has encountered, and you can still be in the tavern now. Isn't it just to thank the fairies in the lake for their blessings and the unremitting efforts of Sun King Ryan and Queen Surya?

Montferre's most advanced "White Castle" hotel, in the lobby on the first floor, a large number of Brittany freedmen and refugees who fled from the empire are sitting together, drinking and chatting, the darker the moment, Alcohol becomes more necessary, and the darker the hour, the more fervent and devout the commoners become, especially when the Fairy of the Lake proves that she is indeed capable of blessing her devotees.

There was a lot of noise on the first floor, and the VIP suite on the fourth floor was also noisy.

"Things...that's...that's it." The sweet voice of the fairy in the lake came from the room, and the goddess's light voice seemed a little rough at this time: "Malekis became the king of the phoenix...he was in Loser. En was enthroned, and...well, Tyrion also declared himself the true Phoenix King...he ascended the throne in Kosque."

"Oh, is it." Ryan's voice was a little rough. He learned the latest news from the fairy in the lake. The Sun King then asked: "Malekis still passed the test of the Asuryan flame after all?"

"Well... yes." The fairy in the lake gasped in small sips, and the goddess's voice was like joy and sorrow: "Ulthuan outer ring kingdom... support Tyrion, inner ring kingdom... support Malekith , the Dark Elves' followers of Khaine and Grond... support Tyrion, and the rest... um."

The voice of the fairy in the lake gradually became quieter: "In short...the vitality of both sides is seriously damaged...the army that originally added up to more than 300,000...now there are less than...200,000 people...this is a high-level peace The dark elves' last army, Orika...and I...gathered as many souls as we could."

"Has Malekith's proposal to Ela Ruili succeeded?" Ryan asked casually, panting loudly.

"No...success, because Ella Riley and...Ariel are one, she is now...Isa...Orion...Queen, can't marry...Marler..." The Fairy of the Lake The voice is getting smaller and smaller.

"That's right, master." Orika's voice rang in the room, and the pale queen said: "Because she has become the incarnation of Isa, theoretically Ela Ruili is already the queen of wood elf, the wife of Orion, she can't now Marrying the Phoenix King Malekith, Malekith's proposal failed, but our new Phoenix King is not going to give up at all. The high elves are less hostile to him when they see Malekith being so good. a lot of."

"Malekis can still play." Ryan sighed. The Witch King seemed to have really changed his mind. It didn't matter whether he married Ela Ruili or not, the key was that his attitude made the whole high elves They all realized that the Witch King is really willing to integrate into their culture and respect their customs. The first step of the alliance has been taken, and the effect is good.

"Hmm... um... um." The fairy in the lake groaned a few times, expressing her agreement with Ryan's point of view.

"It's not that Malekith has no chance. Isa has returned to heaven after handing over her power to Ella Ruili. Assuming that the reincarnation of the battle of heaven continues, then Kane and Kunos must have a shopping battle, and the elf gods will return. Go to heaven and the underworld." Orika said sweetly: "It will not be difficult to marry Ela Ruili."

"Return to Heaven and Hades? Including you and Lilith?" Ryan was a little concerned.

"Lilith escaped the last reincarnation, and this time she used your power to simply pick out the reincarnation." Olika said with some displeasure: "As for me, I am not Erth-Haiyi at all, mother He I have completely fallen, and I am not part of the cycle of reincarnation, what does it have to do with me?"

"That's it." Ryan wanted to say something else, but Orika interrupted him: "Okay, Lilith, get out of the way, it's my turn."

There was a rustling sound in the room.

"What's the situation now?" Ryan's voice changed, and he paused.

"Now that both sides are in a truce, Malekith needs time to unify the power of the high elves and the dark elves and reorganize his court. Tyrion is seriously injured. Lilith's dog-licking poison and injuries make Terry Ang has to rest." Orika's happy voice sounded: "The two sides are expected to truce for a while, but the winner will definitely be decided again."

"...Didn't you guys make a lot of plans before?" Ryan's breath became heavier.

"Yes... I've made... a lot of... strategies." Olika's voice began to stutter, but it was still so sweet: "Unfortunately... the situation has changed too quickly... It's useless... Shadow King Aris is very Stubbornness...whatever it takes...well...kill Malekith first and then...lead to..."

Gradually, Olika couldn't speak anymore.

Lilith's lazy and charming voice sounded: "We originally brought Alisara to Uthuan, wanting to make a final decision at the critical moment of the duel between Malekith and Tyrion, but I didn't expect Morassi to let Terry The time for Ang to draw the sword was greatly advanced. Malekith was not at all the opponent of Tyrion, who held the sword of Kane and became the incarnation of Kane. In addition, Aris did not listen to me. He insisted on killing Malekith first. , So Olika and I decided to give up the action first and talk about it later~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You don't want us to have an accident, right?"

"So... ah." Ryan groaned, and his voice stopped.

"Alysara went back to Nur. I brought Athalion's nephew and niece to the old world, together with the 1,000 remnants left by Iris." The fairy in the lake came out for a long time. Tone: "They are too young, too innocent, and too weak. Participating in the elf civil war is courting death. Didn't Berleon lose a lot in Skaven's attack? You give them a seaside baron and place them first. "

"Atharion is a great hero, show me face, my dear." Seeing that Ryan couldn't speak, Lilith went on: "His sacrifice inspired me, his nephew and niece are Prince Iris The last bloodline."

"Heh...you Asul are hypocritical...and...the last bloodline...hmph." Olika complained: "Useless things...don't keep."

Conversation in the room disappeared.

More than two hours later, Ryan's voice sounded again, and the gray knight primarch panted and said, "You... two goddesses... so... not about martial arts."

"It's not over, Master, I've consumed a lot of this trip to Osuan. Before I make up for it, Master can't rest!" Olika said unfinished.

"Lane, your beard is growing again, and it hurts me to stab me. Come, I'll shave it for you today." The laziness voice of the fairy in the lake then sounded.

"No, my waist is really bad, you can move yourself, I want to rest for a while." Ryan answered the question.

"Then, I'm going to start!" Olika was excited.

The gray mountains are covered with snow, solitary peaks, and migratory birds flying by.

Today's Montfort is also a quiet day.

Updated, ask for a ticket!
