Proof of the Sun King

The Meat Festival, also known as the Winter Festival, is a traditional festival in Kislev.

Mrs. Keisler began to migrate westward from the Kurgan steppe about a thousand years ago, crossed the Roof of the World Mountains to reach what is now, and defeated the nomadic Ugols and Proswen people here, including Ugos. The Er people finally chose to reconcile with the ice witch Miska, and the Proswen people disappeared in history forever.

At the earliest, Mrs. Keisler believed in the three northern gods, namely, the bear **** Esu, the sun **** Daha, and the thunder **** Thor. The main **** was the bear **** Esu. This is a very ancient belief. In the past, the Ugol people here believed in these three gods. Of course, in addition to the three gods, Sarah, the **** of healing and comfort, was also favored by the people here.

The tradition of the Feast of the Flesh came from this. According to legend, when Ersun turned into a giant bear to shred the power of chaos, when Thor turned into thunder and lightning to shatter the thick fog of chaos, and when the sun **** Daha illuminated the land of Kislev, The corruption and the snow will dissipate, and people will gather to celebrate another year of hardship for Kislev.

At the time of the Great Holy War, the country of Kislev was destroyed. It was not until the savior Ludwig marched north after the Battle of Fasha that he regained all the territory of Kislev. As a result, the belief in the three northern gods gradually collapsed. Mrs. Sler seriously doubted whether their gods could protect them, so more people believed in Uric, the **** of white wolf, and Tal, the **** of nature, until the former Tsar Boris Bokaha himself served as the high priest of Ersun. And through oracles and powers, it was proved that the bear **** did not give up the land so far.

Thanksgiving still remains.

When Beria led a team of several hundred people along the south bank of the Linsk River to the city of Kislev, what the Ugor officer saw was the Bokha Palace, which was surrounded by ice and snow. With onion-like palace buildings and a two-kilometer-long ice wall, here is the city of Kislev, the slow-beating heart of the kingdom of ice and snow.

It was still snowing heavily in the city. After showing Ryan's appointment documents and customs clearance documents, Beria was undoubtedly given priority. This large-scale caravan entered the city, and the large amount of goods they carried made the citizens of the city jealous. It was endless, but no one dared to attack their ideas—the group of Ugore people looked like elites in a hundred battles, not only well-equipped but also carrying exquisite weapons, and many of them were also equipped with firearms.

Although there are many refugees in the city and the stomach is very hungry, courting death is not such a way to die.

In addition to the two hundred Ugor cavalry archers, the caravan was accompanied by many servants, as well as many young and beautiful Kislev maidens, who were wrapped in warm bearskin coats, thick trousers and boots, followed by behind these soldiers.

Many girls are "very cheap", such as the pretty blond girl behind Beria, who is only fifteen years old this year, and was paid by Beria with a large box of white bread, two kilograms of beef and a handful of silver coins. She bought it from her father and became his maid.

Is the little girl forced? After thinking too much, when Beria gave a little hint, this little girl named Khorkina immediately willingly sold herself to the general of the cavalry archer. Her family has been drinking porridge for three months, and Khorkina is naturally willing to have the opportunity to become the general's maid.

In this way, the small and medium-sized officers of the entire Ugol cavalry archers had almost one woman, and the team suddenly grew a lot. On the one hand, Beria encouraged the officers to take in some beautiful girls, and on the other hand, he was very strict. Admiral Wan's style is completely different. Admiral Ivan manages discipline relatively loosely but has never had any benefits. Belial provides benefits but is extremely strict with discipline. A cavalry archer was found to be bullying others. Just wanting to buy and sell a few pieces of brown bread, Beria shot him personally, chopped it into several pieces, and threw it into the snow field to feed the direwolf.

Due to the very good relationship between Ryan and the Empire, the envoys directly stayed at the Imperial Embassy in Kislev, and Kasper von Feltten, the Imperial Ambassador to Kislev, took the initiative to meet with Beria. The ambassador has had many great pasts, he first served under the former Emperor Luitpold, from an ordinary spearman to the defeat of the Shadow Beast in the Battle of Bloodpine, in Nord. He followed the emperor to destroy the northern barbarians who invaded Nord in the Battle of the Collars, and was promoted to the commander of the regiment, and then made military exploits in the Battle of Hemgat. , The son of the bourgeoisie, the imperial general was spotted by Ms. Madeleine, the noble lady of Nuer. The two got married and applied for honorary retirement to settle in Nuer.

It is a pity that Madeleine died of illness a few years later. Casper felt lonely alone. He chose to accept the emperor's appointment to come to Kislev as the imperial ambassador. The embassy was stationed with an entire imperial infantry regiment and a Team Cheetah Knights, to Belial's surprise, Reinhardt, the head of the Cheetah Knights, is also there. This elder is also a veteran legendary powerhouse. Belial does not know why he appeared here. But still greeted him.

After settling down, Kasper and Beria sat down in the embassy. The two exchanged a few words of innocence, and then slowly got to the point. Beria warmly and friendly said: "Recently, the basic How is Slov, Mr. Kasper?"

"The situation? It's not good at all!" Casper's appearance is very similar to that of Black Heart Repp. He is a little old man with white hair and a Mediterranean appearance, but he is a little taller than Black Heart Repp, and his temperament is not that much. Wretched and philistine, like a real soldier, he also has the habits of a soldier: "Recently, Kislov has flooded in a lot of refugees, many, the unemployment rate is still high, the market is empty, but the black market is full of high-priced food and life Supplies, the refugees crowded together, and barely survived by the relief of several churches, the Church of Lady Sharia, the Church of Goddess of War, and the Church of Goddess of Justice.”

Kasper's words are a bit too direct, so direct that Beria is not used to it, but the ambassador of the empire in Kislev is not a pure diplomat, he often also serves as a military staff officer and even the commander-in-chief of the three armies stationed here by the empire. Soldiers who speak directly are not difficult to understand.

"In this way, it seems that the situation is not very good. Has Her Majesty Katarin made any efforts?" Bellia immediately began to spy on the situation.

"Effort?" Kasper smiled, and the little old man shook his head: "Mr. Belial, I advise you, it's best not to go to the streets today, if you must go, you must remember to bring a guard. , a sufficient number of guards, today is payday, and the soldiers of the whole city are waiting to be paid at the Hammer of the Gods Armory."

"What?!" Bellia immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and he quickly asked: "What's the matter, suddenly the army pays? Where did Her Majesty Catalin get the money?"

"Where does the money come from? Where does the money come from!" Kaspar shook his head and sighed, "You know, Her Majesty Katarin has just raised tariffs significantly recently to control the import and export of magic ore. At the same time, the Oster army returned from an expedition and A part of the profits from the war was given to Kislev. Everyone in the entire kingdom knows that the court is rich, and it would be unreasonable not to pay the army now, but I received inside information that the tsar is in a hurry to spend money everywhere, of course. The Bear Cavalry, the Griffin Legion, and the Kerim Guards must be paid first, so those of the Ksa Warriors and the Kislev Shooting Corps, and those of the Capital Infantry Corps can only be paid casually for the time being."

"Just deal with it?" Beria felt more and more bad, leaned forward and asked: "Please make it clear, General Kasper, how much does the Kislev court plan to send to these standing and core troops? "

"Hey, I got the news, everyone, ten kilograms of big leba, two big bags of potatoes, a piece of butter and fifteen silver coins." The imperial ambassador lamented: "I have ordered the army of the embassy and Yuri on the opposite street. The Temple of Ke has stepped up its vigilance, and now I can only hope that nothing will happen!"

"Damn!" Beria stood up immediately: "Shelepin!"

"Yes." Shelepin stood up immediately and walked behind Beria.

"Quick, gather your people, pick up your weapons, and let's go to the armory!"

"Yes!"

…………I am the dividing line of the bad situation…………

There are only five days left until the Feast of the Flesh. Kislev, the Hammer of the Gods Armory opened its doors today after a long absence, and the soldiers outside rushed in, noisily preparing to collect their military pay, outside , Kerim guards lined up in two teams to maintain order, allowing thousands of people to enter the venue in an orderly manner, waiting to receive their military pay.

It was snowing heavily outside the house, and there was no charcoal fire inside the house. The logistics officers were conducting the final inspection. Everyone knew how difficult the next level would be, and what a violent storm would be in a few minutes.

General Andrei Vasily sat on his seat with a serious and bleak face, listening to the tsar's special envoy announcing the tsar's will: "General Andrei, today came to lead the army's salaries and rations. The soldiers of the Loew's Shooting Army and several city defense battalions in the capital, they are different from those old Boyers, bear cavalry and Kerim guards, they have always been the most difficult, and basically rely on this army salary to make a living, Kata Your Majesty Lin said, this task can only be handed over to you."

"Is that all there is?" General Andrei closed his eyes in pain. He could imagine the expectations, joy, excitement of the soldiers outside, and the disappointment and anger afterward. It is conceivable that his mission is incomparable. difficult.

"We have almost emptied the entire treasury. Each person has ten kilograms of large leba, two large bags of potatoes, a piece of butter, and fifteen silver coins. This is all, but how can these military salaries be used for the Meat Festival? Let it go and eat, One family will finish eating in four or five days!" The female tsar's envoy sighed in a low voice, "But there is no other way, that's all."

"I see." General Andre nodded silently, and he said weakly, "Please go back and tell His Majesty Katarine that I, Andre, will never abandon and abandon my motherland."

"Yes!" The special envoy left, the door outside opened, and groups of Kislev soldiers dressed in military uniforms and armor waited in line to receive their pay. The scene was chaotic, and the Kerim guards shouted: "Neat, Line up, come one by one!"

In the end, a Ksa warrior who squeezed to the front strode forward happily: "Then I will come first, the first!"

"Which legion do you work for, number, and name?" General Andrei Vasily swallowed and asked with a serious expression.

"The 3rd company commander of the 1st Battalion of the Kislev Ksa Corps, Alyosha Konstantinovich." The Ksa soldier called out his name, and the logistics officer began to look through the roster, and soon found his Name: "Please sign on it."

"Okay!" The Ursa warriors didn't actually know how to read and write, but they could at least write their names. He strode up, signed and put his fingerprints on it, and it was done.

"Military pay." General Andrei nodded and signaled the quartermaster to pay the army. The quartermaster soon brought a large bag of Liba, two bags of potatoes, and a small handful of silver coins.

The Ksa warrior's face changed. He carefully looked at his military pay and said anxiously: "What do you mean? Your Excellency General!"

"...This is your military salary." General Andre nodded dully: "If you take it, go back to reunite with your family as soon as possible, and have a good time!"

"My military pay?! How can my military pay only be like this? How much are you going to give us? What are they?" asked Alyosha, a Ksa warrior, with anger already on his face.

"Ten catties of big leba, two big bags of potatoes, fifteen tengars, and a piece of butter."

"What? You owe us military pay for half a year. Since May last year, I have never received military pay, and I owe at least fifteen ducats, right? But how much did you send us, these things? It's less than two and a half ducats in total!" The Ksa warrior suddenly became anxious: "I already owe several ducats in the bakery, you send me this now? Don't say my family is five People, you can't even pay off the bakery's debt!"

"Wow!" There was an uproar from the soldiers who were waiting in line for the leader's pay. They looked at each other and rushed up anxiously: "What?"

"what happened?"

"Why only this thing?"

"We fought **** battles on the front lines, and you treated us like this?"

"Betrayal! We have been betrayed!"

"Clearly the Kerim guards and the bear cavalry have received most of the military salaries, why do we only have this?"

The angry crowd soon crowded in, and pointed at General Andrei, the Minister of Logistics: "Are you going to send this to us?"

"No, everyone, listen to me." General Andrei stood up, he said painstakingly to everyone: "We have done our best, this year's harvest is not good, and the finances are tight~www.wuxiaspot.com~ All generals and waves None of the jeers came to pay for the army, they saved the pay from the gap between their teeth and gave it to you, listen to me, you should take it back for the festival first, and then we will find a way!"

There is some truth in General Andre's words. The emotions of the Ksa warriors have temporarily stabilized. Everyone originally lined up to receive the money, but no one in the queue said something: "You are talking nonsense! Master Boyer We have our own territorial income, the generals have the spoils of the Norsca expedition, and the reward of Her Majesty the Tsar, what do we have? We are counting on this money to live, and you will still wrong us!"

"When we don't know? The new tariffs, as well as the spoils of the Norsca expedition, have piled up in Erlengrad, and they have all been taken away by those people, and we have nothing!"

"We've had enough, we bleed on the front lines, and we didn't even get paid for the army!"

"We fought with these guys from the logistics department!"

"Warriors, take up arms and defend our own power! Take back our pay!"

"Today, you must give us a statement!"

"Since you don't give it, we have to take it ourselves!"

The door of the entire armory was like cooking oil on fire, and it exploded completely. They pushed the guards away, rushed into the warehouse, snatched supplies and military salaries, and even rushed into the armory to try to obtain weapons. Soon, the defenders of the armory and Ke The Rim guards scuffled with the Ksa Corps and the Shooting Corps.

A terrible army mutiny broke out in the heart of the city of Kislev, the kingdom of ice and snow.

Not far away, a man in blue wearing a robe and cloak nodded and smiled coldly, hiding himself in the crowd.

"Change has happened."

"Time is running out."

"Praise, Lord of the Devious Way!"
