The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 48, Mijordenhaven

"Storm Fortress has been breached? Impossible. Didn't Nord claim that those fortresses in the north can hold on for several months?" an elector said subconsciously.

"There are traitors, and the barbarians have found the most vulnerable spot in Storm Fortress." Karl-Franz's eyes were bright and his fists were clenched. He set his sights on Archbishop Beckman of the Church of Justice and motioned to him to speak.

"The walls of Storm Fortress have been corrupted by Chaos during the years of defense, and have grown eyes and tentacles." Beckman said: "Under the auspices of the church, we will use flames to purify the corrupted walls and then rebuild them. "

"But at this time, the northern barbarians launched an attack. They attacked the Storm Fortress madly regardless of the cost..." The emperor nodded: "It happened last night. This barbarian army was led by the bear tribe, and the chief was 'crush' The Bear'Brig."

"Where is Ulfric?" Roland asked. The barbarian leader was too powerful. If he landed, only the Nord King could deal with him.

"Ulfric's black flagship was still blocked at sea by the Nord navy, even though Nord paid a heavy price." Karl-Franz waved his hand to indicate that Ulfric would not be able to land in a short time, so this matter was not The top priority: "The top priority is to dispatch reinforcements as soon as possible. Gentlemen of the empire, what do you think?"

"Wolrich will send reinforcements quickly, and you will see more White Wolf Knights!" Elector Manfred of Wolrich was the first to respond. His territory is adjacent to the Kingdom of Nord. If Nord If he couldn't hold on, he would be under great pressure.

The other two electors who were connected to Nord also nodded and indicated that they would send reinforcements. In addition, the other electors responded very slowly, and everyone focused on the emperor.

"Nord must be rescued!" Karl-Franz knew that this was what everyone was waiting for him, so the emperor finally spoke: "The wizards have long predicted the invasion of the barbarians, but no one thought that Storm Fortress would happen so quickly. The land has fallen. Now that our army has completed its assembly, the remaining barbarians must be eliminated before landing. These cultists must not be allowed to pollute the territory that belongs to our empire!"

"You must know why the great Holy War started one hundred and fifty years ago. One of the Chaos armies landed from Nord!" Finally, Karl-Franz Friedrich said categorically: " We must not repeat the same mistakes!"

The parliament hall was quiet. Some candidates looked a little reluctant, while others looked matter-of-fact.

"Interesting, the Tuscany leader is willing to send reinforcements! You will see the first company of the Ram Knights!" Umberto shouted first.

"Aldolf is willing to send reinforcements, and the Third Company of Lion Knights is willing to fight to protect the country!" Roland also responded.

"The three hundred swordsmen of Wirtz are willing to obey the emperor's orders!" These were the words of the Elector of Wirtz.

"The five hundred rangers led by Oden are ready to go, at your Majesty's command!" Elector Oden also responded.

"The Knights of the Golden Fleece will send the seventh detachment to support!" Philip II, the Elector of Berne "Black Goat" saw several candidates expressing their opinions, and he could only nod and said: "We will provide food and supplies for the passing troops. Station!"

Soon, the vast majority of candidates responded.

Seeing other electors responding to the emperor's call, Archbishop Beckman of the Church of Justice said unwillingly: "The Paladin Legion of the Church of Justice is already on its way to Nord."

The Archbishop of Life Church raised his scepter: "Enough priests and doctors will be in place soon, and we will also provide part of the military rations!"

The Archbishop of the Magic Church finally spoke: "A group of wizards will soon follow the army to eliminate those evil shamans."

Only the Elector of Brescia was left. The teenage boy was almost crying from the terrible pressure in the council chamber. He quickly asked the courtiers behind him: "What should I do?"

"You should express that Brescia is currently unable to send troops, and we are willing to pay the military service tax exemption, my lord." The courtier looked much calmer than the elector, but when he thought about the military service tax exemption, the courtier also felt a sense of pain on his face. .

This is a heavy tax.

Seeing the candidates responding one after another, Karl Franz's young and heroic face showed a smile. It is this spirit that allows the empire to continue to this day.

One race, one country, and one belief established the human empire.

With this strong will and firm belief, the human empire will never perish.

After the meeting, Karl Franz came out of the council chamber. Before he could sit down, the attendant quickly approached: "Your Majesty, the great wizard Belshazer Geert wishes to see you."

"Tell him to come in."

"yes."

Soon, accompanied by very heavy footsteps, a "human" wearing a luminous magic cloak, a shining gold robe and a gold mask walked in: "Your Majesty!"

Karl Franz stared at the figure of the visitor. He suspected more than once that the wizard in front of him was no longer human.

However, he had to entrust him with important tasks many times because Baiershazer Geert was so good.

After a few years in the empire, he became the empire's top alchemist. He improved the black powder formula, which greatly eased the conflicts and hostility between the Imperial Artillery Academy and the Imperial Wizard Academy.

A big explosion in the laboratory almost ended his pursuit of knowledge. In the golden light after the explosion, wizards rescued Geert. Many wizards wanted to treat his wounds, but he ordered them to leave.

From that day on, Galt became what he is now. He always wore a golden mask and no one could see his expression.

"I don't know if I can trust you, Galt." The emperor said solemnly: "But in the current situation, I have to trust you. You know, Gehrman is a great wizard of the fire element, and it is already the middle of winter. , his magic may not be very effective in the north."

"Of course you can trust me, my Majesty." The sound of metal friction deepened the emperor's suspicion. Karl-Franz shook the strange thoughts out of his head. He knew that since he had to give the task to Gale Special, you must trust him. There is no reason to entrust him with the task and not trust him.

"Well……"

One day later, Nord Kingdom, Mjordenhaven.

The weather-beaten Ryan finally arrived at Mjordenhaven, the largest port city on the west coast of the Kingdom of Nord.

The sky is blue and cloudless. Today is a rare good weather. People are coming and going at the city gate of Mjordenhaven. A large number of carriages and people are constantly going in and out of the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate are wearing uniform breastplates and spears. Sword, the trefoil family crest banner of Lord Albert Baker, lord of Miljordenhaven, hangs on the high tower.

The encounter with Lawn is destined to be short-lived. As a mission knight, the Duke's son must continue his journey to the Holy Grail, and Ryan wants to go to the White Wolf Temple in Mjordenhaven as soon as possible to ask about the ancient saint, so the two We chatted for a long time in the evening and parted ways early the next morning.

Before leaving, Lawn gave him a gold coin with the emblem of a leaping lion, and told him that whenever he went to Connet as a guest, he would personally welcome him and take Lane to enjoy the best wine and food.

It has to be said that it is very rare to meet someone you like. After a short period of contact with Lawn, the two of them were like confidants who had met for several years. They talked about everything. In exchange, Ryan also gave his wolf teeth to The pendant was given to him: "This is the gift I received from the Lord of White Wolf. Although I don't have a prominent family background and dazzling wealth like you, as long as I hold this, I will provide as much help as I can."

"It's a deal!" Lao En didn't dislike it at all and took it sincerely.

"It's a deal!" Holding hands.

After the two separated, Ryan went down the mountain. The broken chain armor could no longer be worn. He put away the chain armor, washed away the blood by the stream, changed back into the Nord noble clothes, and then calmly walked down the mountain, passing by After more than a day on the mountain road, he finally arrived at Miljödenhaven.

At this time, the river had begun to freeze, and inland river boats could no longer sail. Ryan saw many passers-by along the way. Most of them were businessmen and citizens. There were also a few farmers who entered the city. He saw a nobleman walking alone. In the wild, although passers-by were a little strange, they were still polite to him.

"By the way, have you heard?" A group of villagers were discussing something on the road: "Recently, a witch came from the east and lives in the Butterbeer Inn in Mjordenhaven."

"Ah?! A witch?" A farmer carrying firewood opened his mouth: "It's unbelievable!"

"Hi~ Let's not talk about it. This witch is really a nice person. Isn't he having a fever recently?" said the farmer carrying vegetables.

"Yes! A man in our village got a fever and died within two days."

"That witch took the initiative to prepare potions to treat us villagers! As long as we find the raw materials! The price is super cheap! I knew those disgusting doctors knew how to blackmail us!"

"So good? That sounds great."

"And in addition to this, this witch will also prepare other potions. The farm cow in our village had abscesses and was about to die. It was she who prepared the potions to help us cure it. She is really the benefactor of our village. !" said a farmer.

"I wonder how long this witch will stay here?"

"It should stay for a while, but..."

"Oh, it's good to stay a little longer, but what?" The farmer carrying firewood became anxious and asked quickly.

"It's just that another witch came yesterday and lived next door to her. She is completely different. She has a bad temper and likes to chase people away. She kicked out all the people who asked for help~" The farmer who spoke looked at He looked frightened when he woke up, and then he said angrily: "I said that there are indeed good people and bad people among witches, don't you think so?"

"Of course, of course!"

Another witch came yesterday? Bad temper? Like to chase people away? Ryan wanted to laugh a little, he knew who the new witch was.

But who is the witch who appeared a long time ago?

"Hey! God! Here is the agricultural lady, that nasty witch is standing at the city gate!" The two farmers looked at the city gate and discussed in a low voice: "She won't refuse us to enter the city, right?"

"How is that possible! Come on, let's go in quickly." The two farmers lowered their heads and pretended not to know anything.

At the gate of the city, Teresa was holding her staff and looking at the flow of people: "Banda, actually you don't have to stand here with me. This is just a waste of your time."

"Mr. Lane saved me. I think I have an obligation to wait for him, don't you?" Banda straightened his waist as much as possible. He was wearing brand-new chain armor, and the swords in his hands were as bright as new. His hair and face were carefully groomed, and it was obvious that he was trying to present himself as best as possible.

"..." Teresa didn't answer. She felt that she was very anxious. She had naturally seen the existence of the Doomsday Bull in the files of Sky Castle, so her temper was particularly bad.

Banda stood behind the sorceress. He greedily breathed in the fragrance coming from Teresa. The fragrance of lavender almost made him intoxicated. Not only was the work of standing guard not hard, but it was a kind of enjoyment for the little mercenary. It was supreme. enjoyment.

It would have been nice if the White Wolf Knight had stayed in the wild for a few more days. Looking at Theresa's back and her long black hair that shone with light and shadow, a strange idea suddenly came to Banda's mind.

The Blood Ax mercenary group "successfully" escorted Theresa to Mjordenhaven, and the contract was terminated at Wilt's insistence. However, Theresa still paid most of the commission to Blood Ax. In this After the poor mercenary group was seriously reduced in number, even though Wilt took out a sum of money from the commission as pension expenses, everyone still got a lot. Banda took the opportunity to buy a set of ready-made chain armor at the blacksmith shop in the city. , and then dressed up again, and spent all the time in the past two days standing with Teresa at the city gate.

He really wished these days could last longer.

Just reason told the little mercenary that this was impossible.

Why could he serve as Ms. Trowick's escort?

Because the knight named Ryan hasn't come back yet.

But what if he comes back?

Banda has taken it upon himself to take on the sorceress's guarding duties as a matter of course.

Looking at Teresa's slim body, Banda continued to think: If Ryan is alive, he will return soon, and then Ms. Trovik will leave with him and join the Blood Ax Mercenary Group. The group members will leave her.

If Lane disappeared, there was a good chance that Ms. Trovik would go find him, or return to Skydome, and he wouldn't be able to find a good reason to follow.

So what if Ryan dies?

As soon as this idea came up, the little mercenary was shocked: No, no, no matter what, Mr. Lane saved my life!

But another voice suddenly said: So what, don't you hate knights of noble origin the most? It would be best if he died! It's not your fault anyway, so what does it have to do with you?

In an instant, Banda sweated a lot, and he subconsciously shrank his neck under the cold wind of midwinter.

But once this thought arises, it cannot be gotten rid of.

Just when the little mercenary was thinking wildly, the sorceress in front of him suddenly screamed, her voice full of unstoppable surprise: "Ryan!!!"

Her long legs wearing high-heeled boots swung rapidly. Teresa rushed to the visitor under the surprised gazes of the guards. The expression on her face wavered between surprise and surprise. She wanted to get closer, but also had a little hesitation. .

"Are you okay?" The sorceress stood in front of the man in a sky-blue coat.

"I'm fine. I told her, I promised you that you would come back alive." There were still some scars on Ryan's face, but the man still forced a smile and told Teresa that he was fine.

"Yes, I always believe in you~" The mountains in her heart were removed, and Teresa couldn't help showing a bright smile. But she immediately realized something and raised her chin: "How could someone who is qualified to be my partner die so easily?"

Snowdrops are in full bloom on the mountains.
