Proof of the Sun King

High King, is this a joke?

Ryan was a little confused about what Sol Green meant, a hundred thousand troops?

The Knights of Brittany once had a period of heyday. This time was probably from the third Knight King "White Death" Guillaume to the eve of the Tower of Dole, when the Knight King "Justice" Jules.

During this period of time, Brittany fought chaos in the north, fought the tomb king fleet and the dark elf fleet in the west, and marched in the Arabian and Nicohara deserts in the south. Pi was far away from Brittany for two hundred years, and the farthest knight army also arrived in Lustria, which can be said to be a model of abundant military virtue, but according to the records of this period in the Curona Palace obtained by Lane, At that time, the total number of all the armies in Brittany, including the standing army, the knight master, the knight retinue and the sergeant, was about 100,000.

What about now?

After many wars, all the knights and squires in the entire knight kingdom of Brittany were less than 30,000 people, plus their sergeants and soldiers died at most 60,000 people. To assemble 100,000 people, not only To recruit serf infantry on a large scale, and there is simply no consideration for domestic defense and possible invasion.

100,000 people, Sol Green, is this serious? Is he joking, or is he ignorant?

Ryan frowned and thought about it. The King of Knights felt that the Supreme King was unlikely to be ignorant. Thorgreen - The Resentful was known for his wisdom and steadiness. He also traveled throughout the old world and knew many things about the human kingdom very well. It is impossible for the Supreme King to have an accurate number of how many Brittanians can produce. He is not necessarily ignorant to this level.

"I guess, you must be thinking, why can the dwarves afford so much money, right?" The High King continued speaking very calmly and rudely. He stopped his knife and fork and stroked his beard. There are several silver tableware in front of him, each of which has a different purpose: "You don't know anything about the treasure house of Eternal Peak, young man, I can offer a very generous price, and the income of an ordinary knight is only one year's income. More than a hundred gold coins, right? This is only more than thirty gold coins for dwarves. I can pay you fifty dwarf gold coins for a knight a year, how about it? As for other things, I can follow the price of the imperial mercenaries, How about paying you 20% of the premium?"

The price is very fair, and after seeing the treasure house of Bafeng Mountain, Ryan will not doubt that the Supreme King can't afford the money, Ryan frowned slightly, he thought about it, and did not rush to refuse, he did not even admit that the Knight Kingdom is now organized Can't afford 100,000 people: "I don't think so many people are needed to guard the badlands, I think..."

"Don't need so many people? Hahaha~" Thor Green sneered when he heard the words, he interrupted Ryan very roughly: "Look at my beard, young man, look at my beard, you little kid You don’t even count as a guy with a beard, your dealings with Greenskin are less than one percent of mine, why do you think you don’t need so many people to guard Bafeng Mountain?”

"During a year and dozens of battles, the coalition forces formed by us and Belgar have defeated countless greenskin tribes along the badlands, wiped out Skarsnik and his evil moon tribe, and destroyed the Skaven rat. The headquarters of the Human Moss clan and the headhunter Quik were judged. After that, together with Bellegar, I cleaned up many small green-skinned tribes near the Eight Peaks, not to mention the next few years, at least the next twenty years, eight Fengshan will not face a giant waaagh!" Ryan said sincerely: "Therefore, I don't think it is necessary to station so many troops, Bafengshan is now in ruins, and it is not capable of supplying so many troops. quartermaster."

Compared with dwarves, greenskin's reproductive ability certainly has a crushing advantage, but greenskin does not mean that hundreds of thousands of people can explode in just a few months. Under such a huge blow, Eight Peaks Mountain It will take at least ten years for the nearby greenskins to recover and plant more mushrooms, and then slowly elect greenskin warlords through civil wars and "big mixes" until one greenskin warlord defeats other greenskin warlords and will It was a relatively long process until the entire tribe was unified and became the Great Greenskin Warlord, and even Skarsnick himself took decades.

"The military supplies are naturally handled by me, what do young people know?" Thorgreen listened to Ryan's analysis and squinted at the stinky human. Yes, why do you think it's ok? Have you seen the real big waaagh? Have you dealt with it? Have you seen it with your own eyes? Have you faced the real green-skinned warboss? Don't pit you against Skarsnick For example, the goblin warlord is cunning and cunning, but its melee strength and army strength are only medium-high among greenskins. Have you ever dealt with the big-bellied king Gollum? Ironclaw Gorbad? Or, Grid Rimg - Ironhide?"

"..." Ryan was silent, the king of knights thought that this old thing is relying on the old to sell the old, and pressing me with qualifications!

But Ryan is indeed weak in this regard. After all, he is still too young. Thor Green is a thousand years old. The Supreme King has shown his qualifications, and Ryan is really helpless.

"I tell you, if the green shredded **** of war Grimg-Tiehide and his black orc army 'Immortal' appear in the Eight Peaks Mountain, even if you have 100,000 people, you may not necessarily be Ironhide's opponents!" The Supreme King continued Pressing people with power, he said in a muffled voice: "One hundred thousand people is absolutely necessary, you don't even know how powerful Grimge is!"

"But Grimg was last seen in the pits of **** in the Mourning Mountains north of Kislev, where he slaughtered tens of thousands of Skaven and headed to the Eastern Kurgan Steppe. ." Ryan immediately retorted: "It is thousands of miles away from Bafeng Mountain, we should not take this factor into account."

"Iron will have the day to kill the Kurgans! I understand it! It will come back, it will." The High King interrupted Ryan again: "Do you understand Iron, or do I understand it? I tell you, In the book of great hatred, there are as many as three chapters related to iron!"

Then let it come! Am I, the King of Knights of Brittany, the Chosen Champion of the Fairy of the Lake, the Primarch of the Grey Knights, and the Son of the Emperor, that I am afraid of some green-skinned War God Ironhide? Come if you can!

When the Supreme King said this, Ryan's whole body's blood rushed to his head, and he subconsciously wanted to blurt out these words.

But when he raised his head, what he saw was the sneer of the Supreme King. Thorgreen was eating lamb chops leisurely and at ease, as if he had expected Ryan's reaction, and everything was under his control.

Yup! Since the conversation started, since the two sides met, Thorgreen has all the rhythms of the whole conversation! Ryan found himself being led away by the High King the whole time.

Throughout the whole process, the rhythm of the topic and Ryan's emotions are all under the control of the Supreme King.

Thinking of this, the King of Knights gritted his teeth. He forcibly suppressed all his anger. The king pretended to be thirsty and wanted to drink water. Cut the lamb chops with a knife and fork and close your eyes to enjoy the deliciousness of the food.

Well, it's just a little salty, dwarves always speak loudly, so the King of Knights thought.

How can I take the initiative back to the topic? Ryan chewed his food, suppressed his anger, and thought carefully about countermeasures.

The Supreme King didn't seem to be in a hurry, he ate slowly, waiting for Ryan's answer.

Three minutes later, Ryan finally spoke: "His Majesty the Supreme King, since Grimgor-Tiehide is so difficult to deal with, then it is not worthwhile for humans to be stationed at 100,000 people. For Ironhide, no matter how many human beings are, they are just the objects of slaughter. , I think we need to change our minds.”

"A different kind of thinking? What kind of thinking?" The Supreme King was interested, and he asked casually: "Young people, think about it and then, you young humans, there is a good thing, where the world is running, you are better than those Pointy ears, you can run fast, but the questions you ask and the opinions you put forward are all too superficial, ah, sometimes they are very naive, do you understand?"

"That's right!" To Thorgreen's surprise, Ryan admitted his inadequacies generously. The King of Knights relaxed and said with a smile, "So I think dwarves should be used to defend the Eight Peaks, after all." One dwarf is ten greenskins', it is too unreliable to place too much hope on our defense system on us humans."

"Dwarves are of course stronger than you humans, but we don't have enough population now." The Supreme King planned Ryan's words again: "There are only 150,000 dwarves left in Eternal Peak, which is far from the scale of one million at its peak. , whether it's the Northern Torrent Pass, Butcher's Fort or Haimen Pass, there is no energy to help Bafeng Mountain, otherwise why do you think that our dwarves will abandon our compatriots and ignore them, and why do you think I will come to you to talk about this thing?"

"There are people somewhere!" Ryan spread his hands, and he said solemnly: "Noscar, Dulong City! Noscar dwarves, they have a large population. I heard from the Bellega brothers that Dulong City is only one. There are more than 20,000 adult dwarves in the fortress! The population of the entire Norsca dwarves exceeds 100,000, Your Majesty, the 100,000 people you want are here!"

Lane was right.

In addition to the dwarven fortresses of the Roof of the World, Grey Mountains, and Black Mountains, there is a large group of dwarves in the Norsca Mountains and Mourning Mountains in the northern part of the Old World.

These dwarves are collectively known as the Norsca dwarves.

The source of this dwarf is the dwarf army and dwarf expedition left by the dwarf ancestor gods before they tried to go to the northern chaos wasteland to close the ancient holy portal. After they discovered the rich mineral veins in the Norsca Mountains, they immediately decided to Settled here and built a lot of fortresses, and after the dwarf ancestor God Granny discovered the news of the Chaos invasion, he sent messengers in time to inform these dwarves that Chaos was about to go south, which allowed the Norsca dwarves to have sufficient time. Blockade the fortress and prepare for the defense. When the Chaos army went south, they found that this group of dwarves had set up a whole ten lines of defense waiting for Chaos to attack!

The siege of Dulong City lasted for decades. The Chaos army only broke through the outermost three defense lines. The demons could neither enjoy the thrill of victory nor taste the blood and gain glory. It was really annoying. After the huge blizzard, the Chaos army chose to retreat and continue southward, leaving only the Norsca dwarves who had cut off all outside news and lost contact with their clansmen.

It was not until the Great Holy War that the Norsca dwarves set out to support the empire from the underground river they dug out of the fortress.

Despite being on the front line, the Norsca dwarves have a very large population and are very tenacious. Now there are four large dwarf fortresses left in Norsca, namely Dulong City, Thunder City, Crow's Nest City and Eagle Peak City. In addition, there are more than a dozen small dwarf fortresses all over the Norsca Mountains. The most populous Dulong City has more than 20,000 adult dwarves, and the most conservative estimates of the total population of Norsca dwarves are more than 100,000.

"Do you think I don't want to? I have sent three waves of messengers, but the King of Dulong City, Torgard-Crimson, just doesn't want to!" Thorgreen retorted subconsciously, then he suddenly paused, then lowered his head eat meat.

Damn, I was actually brought to the rhythm by this young man, the Supreme King chewing lamb, thought to himself.

Hey, now it seems that this young man is not easy.

It is not that the Supreme King did not try to persuade the Norsca dwarves to withdraw from the mountain kingdom, but the Norsca dwarves collectively refused. The first reason was that the dwarves would not abandon their homes unless they had to, and the two sides had been separated for too long, so that The dwarves of Norsca have only respect rather than obedience to the High King.

The second reason is that the Norsca dwarves are too rich. The Norsca Mountains are rich in iron, precious metal and gemstone veins, and the valleys have vast amber deposition areas. The mountainous coast covered by pine forests is full of animals of all kinds, rivers and coastal waters are rich in fish resources, and the mines here are inexhaustible, and they are all open-pit mines.

Normally, it takes tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years or even longer for a ore vein to be created, but for the Norsca Mountains, the mountains blown by the wind of chaos are mutating all day long, and a ore vein only needs It can be regenerated in dozens or hundreds of years, so the Norsca dwarves can always enjoy endless mineral resources, or open-pit mining.

Don't ask why, because Chaos doesn't talk to you about reason and rationality.

With such rich geographical conditions, the Norsca dwarves simply do not want to return to the Empire of the Mountains.

"North? Those dwarves are used to living there~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They won't go to Eight Peaks Mountain." The High King said in a muffled voice, "Your idea is unrealistic."

"But what's the use of those Norsca dwarves hanging in the north alone?" Ryan followed the words of the Supreme King and went on: "We should establish an emergency mechanism to concentrate our strength, anyway, to put these 100,000 people together. Throwing it in Norsca is also a waste. These dwarves can't stop the invasion of Chaos. It's better to withdraw quickly. Am I right? Your Majesty the High King? Didn't you say that you are rich and don't care about this commission? Then Instead of turning to us humans, why not just let the Norscan dwarves go south?"

The Supreme King raised his head, his eyes looked at Ryan, as if to re-acquaint him, the long white beard swayed back and forth, pondered, the Supreme King stared at Ryan with his unique majesty and oppression: "You young man, this year But at the age of forty, how could he know such detailed information about Norsca and Dulong City? Bellegar, why are you telling you these irrelevant things? It is impossible for these Norsca dwarves to join the Angronde clan!"

"This is my own idea!" Ryan was stunned for a moment, and he continued: "Aren't the dwarves doing strategic contraction now?"

"Hum! What do you think? I don't believe it! You are really being played around by that fool! You young people, you must pay attention, don't 'see the wind, but get the rain', when you hear this news, you As a king, you have to judge yourself, if these things are completely... impossible, you go and tell that fool, it means... this thing... you are also responsible!" The Supreme King shook his head suddenly, he Staring at Ryan's face: "So, who is it? Is it Belgar or your regent, or your courtier, who gave you the plan to move the Norsca dwarves in?!"

"I want to hear the truth!"
