Proof of the Sun King

Before Aurora and Teresa came in, Surya was dealing with internal affairs. After Ryan led the army to leave, all the affairs of the territory had been handed over to Surya for decision, and Surya also showed that she did not lose. For Francois's internal affairs ability, since marrying Ryan, the female knight's ability in internal affairs has been greatly tempered, and she is extremely proficient in dealing with many problems, not to mention she is also in charge of finances.

"This period of time after the year is still the slack period for farming. I ordered Geffen to hurry up, recruit as many serfs as possible, and maintain the speed of digging the canal!"

"Is the new issue of food ready? Let Katzenberg arrange transportation immediately when it is ready. The troops on the front line are waiting for the food, so don't delay!"

"Also, the patrolling army must not let down their vigilance and tell Olivier that now is the critical time, and we must pay more attention to Musillon's security than ever!"

"Be careful, don't put a lot of gold and silver into the market at one go, put it in slowly, and tell Steve, the fineness of the coins should be sufficient."

"Let Gasparton pay attention to civil complaints. There must be no news of embezzlement of serfs and freedmen's spoils, and a strict curfew will be imposed. Pay attention to theft and robbery, and send more people."

One order after another was issued by Suria, and the court team appointed by Ryan received the tasks one after another. The beautiful queen of knights always had a serious expression. Ryan was not there, and she had to manage the entire court well. The kingdom of knights is the strong backing of the expedition army. , Surya forced herself to sort out everything clearly.

Lane's tax officer Gasparton is already very old. Lane has been in Britannia for nearly twenty years. The tax officer in his forties is now a sixty-year-old man who has become a duke in Lane. After that, the gray-haired tax officer was already a little powerless, and Suria thought that Gasparton could prepare to retire, but this had to be discussed by the husband and wife after Ryan returned from the expedition. She and Ryan were one.

The female knight in a luxurious queen dress finished the matter at hand. She saw Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, walking in from the outside. Today, Morgiana is wearing a smart lilac lake goddess dew snow-white fishtail dress with flesh color. Ultra-thin pantyhose and pure white high-heeled shoes, with a flower crown on her head, in fact, Sulia and Morgiana have been jointly handling large and small matters for a while: "What's the matter, Morgiana?"

"Ms. Aurora and Ms. Teresa are waiting outside. They said that there is a letter from the Emperor of the Empire, which is to be handed over to you to unpack in person." Morgiana sat next to Surya, the witch of the lake goddess. His face was very cold: "Look at what the mother and daughter are doing? Ryan and the others are fighting hard at the front, and they are responsible for delivering letters at the back."

"Ms. Teresa is not suitable for fighting in bad places, and Ms. Aurora... She is just the head of MI7, not Ryan's female courtier and magic advisor. She doesn't want to go, and no one can force her." Su Leah gently reached out and pulled her long blond curly hair like a waterfall behind her ear, and picked up the teacup with an elegant look: "Let them wait outside for a while, let's talk about what to do next."

Morgiana's blue eyes flashed, and at this moment, they reached a certain tacit understanding.

"We have won the Battle of Armory Fort. At present, a large amount of gold, silver and trophies have been captured and transported from Haimen Pass." In the report, the female knight said to the lake **** witch: "Can the handling fee be appropriately reduced? Encourage the morale of the expedition?"

"...Yes." Morgiana thought for a while and decided to make concessions: "I can reduce it to 12%"

The seizures of the expeditionary force are divided into two parts. Most of the seizures of the knights and nobles are transported back to the territory through their own channels. The knights and masters themselves will not embezzle their own money, but they also have to pay taxes for the seizures. Tithes are also valid for seizures. Even so, the great aristocrats sold their stolen goods to the point of cramps, and they counted the money until they bloomed. Just Francois, the wealth obtained in the war piled up his treasury. The old man has recently decided to further promote reforms, and even plans to Build a new team of Pegasus knights.

The capture of serf infantry or freedmen is different. It is somewhat difficult for them to safely deliver their spoils to their families. Ryan also took this into consideration. Therefore, the capture of serf infantry and freedmen soldiers will be sent through the postal system. Yes, the Church of the Fairy in the Lake provides a guarantee for this, but an additional 15% handling fee is required.

Relying on tithes and handling fees alone, the income of the Church of the Fairy in the Lake is in the tens of thousands of gold crowns.

Seeing that Morgiana was willing to give in, a smile appeared on Suria's exquisite beauty. The knight queen knew that only Ryan had this kind of energy in the entire kingdom. Thinking of this, Queen Suria was wearing a light dress under her long dress. The black silk feet of the lace stilettos gently raised their toes, the female knight thought for a while, and then said: "Also, the next war will be more and more difficult, we must try to ensure the confidence and morale of the kingdom . . . How did the second tranche sell?"

"Once the second tranche of government bonds were sold, 80% of them were sold in three days." Morgiana nodded: "Citizens in many cities such as Curona and Boldero actively bought them, and even many small nobles bought them. A lot."

"Then prepare to issue the third issue! The third issue of Bafengshan National Bonds is also one-year, with an annual interest rate of 7%." Su Liya's pale jade fingers gently hooked her chin: "As for the amount, the initial plan is 200,000 kronor is good, we have to send a hint that it is first come, first served, and then you can only drink soup or even eat leftovers, and the annual interest rate will be less and less."

"Well, I think so too." Morgiana nodded in agreement, the witch of the lake **** thought for a while, and said slowly, "By the way, Suria, do we need to go to the front alone?"

"You mean... Lao Jun?" Suria quickly understood what Morgiana meant, and the female knight said with a half-smile, "My Highness, do you want to see Ryan?"

"If it's useful for the expedition, then why not?" Morgiana's face flashed crimson, and she calmed down: "Always let Ryan and the others know that we are paying attention to them, right?"

"Just send one person from the church, Morgiana, you really don't need to go in person." Suria shook her head: "Now that Ryan is away, he has also taken away the entire territory and even some of the knight nobles of the knight kingdom. Now the kingdom is It's time for you to sit down."

"Okay." Seeing that Surya was firm, Morgiana gave up this little trick.

"Let Ms. Aurora and Ms. Teresa come in." Suria said to Sylvia, the head maid who was standing behind her.

"Yes."

Two minutes later, Aurora and Teresa came in, while Suria and Morgiana both sat still, Suria was still looking down at the document, her sea blue eyes were hidden under the golden bangs, Jaina cast a hostile and cold look at Aurora.

Aurora raised her eyebrows when she saw this, what does this mean?

Unlike her mother, Teresa has always been a little afraid of Surya, and the sorceress quickly took the letter from her mother: "Mrs. Surya, this is a letter from the Emperor of the Empire, and I ask you to write it in person."

"Bring it here." Surya stretched out her hand and motioned for Aurora and her daughter to sit down, and she took the letter: "It's hard work."

"No, Mrs. Surya and His Royal Highness Morgiana are the hard work." Teresa pulled Aurora and sat down: "As soon as we get this, we will deliver it immediately."

"Well, let me see." Surya opened the letter and read it carefully. Morgiana and Aurora were waiting for Surya's reaction.

After a long time, the female knight let out a long breath: "His Majesty Karl Franz really gave me a big problem."

"What did the emperor across the mountain say?" Morgiana asked first.

"His Majesty Carl wants to hire a Holy Grail Knight to assist the Imperial Army in clearing the Blood Pine Forest." Suria hesitated: "Procedurally speaking, there is no problem with the Emperor's request, but now..."

"Can't you refuse?" Morgiana demanded.

"It's not impossible, His Majesty Carl used this kind of personal letter to ask us to give us room to refuse." Of course, the smart Surya knew the emperor's intention to write this letter: "I just feel that the contract has just been signed, the empire is the first Wouldn't it be bad if we refused the first request?"

"I can set the price higher," Morgiana suggested very directly.

"That's not very good." Suria also shook her head: "The other party has faithfully fulfilled all the regulations we signed with the empire. If we unilaterally increase the difficulty, the imperial court will definitely try to take countermeasures. , the peace and trade relations we have managed to achieve will be severely challenged again."

"In this way, Morgiana, you should appropriately increase your request for some amount of money. If the Empire has no objection, I will notify the Holy Grail Knight, Sir Bayar, who is in charge of guarding Lily Island, and my cousin, Sir Gerald, to organize a small team of knights. The troops crossed the gray mountains to support the empire." Surya quickly made a decision: "As for the security of Xialong Forest and Oka Mountain, don't worry about it, there are Uncle Angron and those three... Father Ryan The golden armored guards left behind are patrolling."

"Yeah." Morgiana nodded in agreement.

"As for Ms. Aurora and Teresa, can I trouble you to go to Brunswick? I need to know the sales of national debt and the empire's recent armament and financial situation." Surya said in the tone of the following order. : "And what the imperial aristocrats think of the Bafengshan expedition, I have to get concrete information."

"I will send someone to deal with it." Aurora said she knew.

"Ms. Aurora, didn't you hear Suria's order? It's for you to go, not for you to send your men." Morgiana said impatiently, and the Lake God Witch's expression was very cold: "You can agree, or You don't have to, it's your choice."

"I'll go with my mother." Teresa came out to answer, and the sorceress held Aurora and motioned her mother not to fight against Suria. Going back and forth to the capital of the empire is just a teleportation technique, and staying for one or two Just a week.

"Very good." Surya nodded, and the knight queen signaled that the sorceress and her daughter could prepare.

…………I’m Uncle Angron who patrols the dividing line of the forest…………

February, Old World, Roof of the World, Eight Peaks, City of Eight Pillars.

The goblin warlord Git-Sour stomach has finally arrived here after many difficulties.

The Eight Peaks used to be the hub and core node of the dwarven leylines, so the city was once the most prosperous and prosperous city of the dwarves, and the dwarves once proudly called it Vala-Azlirengol.

No army on the surface world can climb over the towering mountain where the city is located. The kingdom is located in the middle of a bowl-shaped mountain range surrounded by eight pinnacles, hence the name Bafeng Mountain. Each pinnacle has a unique name. The city's upper fortress is located on the surface, at the bottom of a small valley surrounded by eight peaks. A strong and majestic fortress sits in the middle of the valley like the pinnacles of an iceberg, but most of the urban areas are deep in the mountains. Most of the area is carved out of the rock, and it contains the magnificent Grand Plaza and the King's Hall, and a network of tunnels that stretches for countless miles.

The glory of the past has gone, and now it has become the eternal battlefield of greenskins and ratmen. In the huge and magnificent hall of the ancestral dwarves, the huge stone pillars over 100 meters high are all the disadvantages created by the goblins. In the wooden air corridor, the broken dwarf stone sculptures were either knocked down and smashed, or reduced to a place where the greenskins collectively shit, and the stench was foul.

On the ground are green-skin tents made of wooden boards and soil mixed one after another. The greenskins usually play, fight and curse each other here. It is a mess. To the greenskin warlords, when Jit-Sour Stomach rode his Warg mount, which he had replaced twice, he came to the Ancestral Hall of Eight Peaks Mountain to meet the warlord Skarsnik of Eight Peaks Mountain. There was a great mix, and the Orks and Goblins of the Fel Moon clan were engaged in a giant melee, as well as the mighty Arachnari and a large swarm of squiggs.

Jit-Suanwei scratched his head desperately, buckled his booger, and looked for a way to get in. In the end, it mustered up its mana and released a stinky face of Brother Mao, which made the greenskins get out of the way. Kit-Sour Stomach rushed in.

Eight Peaks Mountain Warlord Skarsnick is sitting on the throne of the Angrand Clan Ancestor Hall. In the hall stands a large group of dark night goblins, the legendary Eight Peaks Mountain fanatics, and a group of black orc troops. Jit-Sour Stomach appeared, and Skarsnick sneered: "Ha, the bereaved dog, came to my place! What does a waste who is not waaagh and not cunning enough come to my throne room and want to do?"

Skarsnick's stature is short, even wearing a high pointed cape on his head can't hide his lack of height, but no one dares to underestimate this goblin warlord~www.wuxiaspot.com~ look at the station The black orc troops next to the throne room, these legendary most powerful heavy armored orcs were tamed by Skarsnik, and dare not look directly at the eight peaks warrior, otherwise even the black orcs , will also be placed in the mouth of Skarsnick's beloved Squigg pet gobra at any time and become its delicious meal.

The candles in the hall are all made of dwarven grease, and the "monument" of Skaven skulls is a testament to Skarsnik's power.

"No... it's not good, the mighty Bafengshan warrior, the bearded enemy Bellegar Hammer returned with a group of canned shrimps... back to the badlands, it is said that this time the canned shrimps were made by a gray canned Lian-Ma Led by Cardo, this gray canned old waaagh is gone, they conquered the armory, slaughtered my clan, I... I came to join you!" Kit-Sour Stomach told Skarsnick all about the situation come out.

"Bellegar? I already knew that." Skarsnick smiled grimly and slyly: "Bellegar is back, we have new fun, boys!"

"waaaagh!"

"waaaaaagh!"

Deafening cheers broke out in the hall, almost breaking the eardrums of the greenskins.

After a short pause, Skarsnick nodded, waving his staff, and showing his sallow rotten teeth with a smirk: "Hehe, it's aggressive, Bellegar, and he's carrying a bunch of canned shrimp, but he wants to be like this. Defeating me is delusional!"

"I have already figured out how to deal with this expeditionary force!"

"That is to conduct a full-scale guerrilla war, prepare for a protracted war, and at the same time fortify the walls and clear the fields!"

"Let this expedition force composed of beards and shrimps be submerged in the green ocean that belongs to Brother Maoge!"

"waaaagh!!!"
