Warhammer Divine Throne

The hot summer wind rages in Jean Baron’s collar, the scorching sun is shining on the land, and the serfs are working sweaty in the farmland, big drops of sweat dripping onto the muddy soil Sweat carried the serfs’ expectation for a bumper harvest, and also represented their hard work. It carried the family’s livelihood. The serfs farmed, paid taxes, and provided offerings. The Knights collected taxes, battled, and guarded, which almost constituted their lives. All.

The only way for the serfs to ascend is war, accepting conscription, joining the army, conquering the enemy, and then hoping that they will be favored by the nobles, promoted to sergeants or even rangers, and change their destiny.

The serfs got up to work at five o’clock in the morning, and when it was around ten o’clock in the morning, they stopped working because of the hot weather.

Two serfs are sitting under the shed to enjoy the cool. The crude earthenware pots are filled with water. They just use the bowls to drink water from the earthen pots. You take a sip.

“Wow, I’m exhausted.”

“What are you doing so tired.”

“Yes, I’m really exhausted today.”

“I don’t want to farm and so on~”

“Yes, I am almost the same.”

Two serfs complained, They always feel that farming is very hard, but in fact today’s farm work is done here, and the rest of the day is their rest time.

Serfs are actually not at all so diligent and so hard as imagined. Many serfs often don’t have enough to eat, but in many cases they would rather be hungry than work hard. The reason is very simple. The Ninth Tax will squeeze out almost all the efforts of the serfs. The result of all the efforts of the nation to support Knight is that the resources of the country are concentrated on Knight, regardless of serfs.

“This situation has pros and cons, do you know? My Baron, in the Empire, 30% of us are homeless people.” In the distance, Ryan, Olivier, and Lopp Si and Katzenberg were sitting on the second floor of a tavern on the edge of town, and they were also enjoying the shade.

Olivier performed well in this war, and he solved several grave guards and bloodthirsty Heavenly Ghost with a few people.

In this war, the two hundred elites who followed François lost more than 50 people, of which more than 20 wounded soldiers could return to the team after recuperation, and the rest Dead or disabled.

The disabled soldiers will be able to be incorporated into the patrol that is usually responsible for public security, or receive a pension.

“The homeless people have no property and no one wants to take them in. They are farmers who have lost their land, homeless exiles, defeated deserters, and bankrupt nobles.” Ryan Shui Condensed into ice cubes and poured into the red wine: “Unlike Bretania, every serf has a nobleman. The nobles must not only accept them unconditionally, but also protect them when needed. The nobles of the empire are the most What I hate is these homeless people who can’t generate income. They are driven everywhere and rely on odd jobs for a living. Chaos corruption is spreading in their hearts.”

“Yes, I am in Buren, the capital of the empire. Rick felt deeply when he was studying.” Knight-errant Knight Hex nodded, and he said, “Brunswick is a very large city. It is very large. It is also called the’Empire Heart’, but in fact , That city is a city built on slums and mud pools. There are tens of thousands of people silting up in each quay area of ​​the city, chaos, corruption, and corruption spread everywhere.”

“and Marienburg is very similar. After the population breakthrough of a city reaches a critical point, this is an inevitable result. There are too many people. From health to public security, it is facing severe tests. The agglomeration effect of the city is not as simple as 1+1.” Steward Card Senberg also followed.

“Now it seems that the enthusiasm of leading the people is not bad, not passive.” Olivier is not interested in talking about this. What he wants to talk about is war: “Baron, I think we are now We need to reorganize the army, and at the same time, take advantage of the recruitment activities of the Midsummer Festival to recruit excellent sources of troops.”

What’s your opinion on the new recruiting source Ryan not at all: “This time I plan to recruit 50 to 100 troops. Man, Hex, you’ll leave it to you to enlist the army.”

“Understood.” Hex nodded and agreed.

“My Baron, several brand new windmills have been put into use. We only collect a small part of the windmill tax, but we stipulate that if the windmills in the area are damaged, the serfs need to bear the obligation to repair the windmills. .” Katzenberg took the form and continued: “It is also worth noting that the wood elves have recently tried to spread the faith of Isha and Kunos among serfs, but I stopped them.”

“It’s right to stop.” Ryan said impatiently: “The wood elves simply didn’t want to really spread the faith. They just wanted to kidnap those children to be their servants, and warn me if they just need to The labor and helpers are fine, after all, they are also normal employment. If they plan to use children to make ceremony or sacrifice, I will razor their observation station!”

“My Baron, your voice is obvious. , The prestige is unmatched. In fact, after I negotiated with the wood elves, they have already expressed their apologies and promised that they will not do this kind of thing in the future.” Katzenberg added.

“That’s good.” The news that Ryan killed the Scarlet Duke has spread within the kingdom. His current reputation in the Knight Kingdom has been like the sun at high noon, even the empires and the South The people of the kingdom are also familiar with his name and deeds. In this case, the wood elves will naturally not conflict with him. He is also the only trading partner of the wood elves.

Ryan began to think about his territory.

At present, his territory is very prosperous, and various construction projects are proceeding in an orderly manner. The trade with the wood elves has brought him a lot of wealth and a hospital. Taking in the dwarves has brought him three A workshop, but this is far from enough.

After this war, Ryan realized how to fight evil without a strong army? The elite squad composed of several people burned a few siege equipment to make nine deaths and still alive, he couldn’t always do that.

Speaking of which, vampires really like to change houses. One time is not enough and I came the second time. Thinking of this, Ryan smiled bitterly and shook his head. This time, Musilon’s vampire needs to be quiet for at least many years. Now, for the vampire army, corpses and skeletons can be seen everywhere, but the loss of the blood Knight and the bloodthirsty Heavenly Ghost and the bloodthirsty manta wolves are enough to make Musilon’s vampires heartache.

Change home? Good thing~

A blood knight needs dozens of hundreds of years of training, and it has to undergo extremely high elimination rate to be a qualified blood knight, and this time the Turis Castle War Including the war in the Sharon Forest, the vampire lost dozens of blood Knights. This is a true terrifying loss for Musilon, and it may take many years to make up for it.

The same goes for the bloodthirsty Heavenly Ghost and the bloodthirsty bat wolves. These creatures must be cultivated from an early age.

“Baron, the blacksmiths in the town have opinions. The quality of the dwarves’ products is too good and the price is fair. They have no food to eat, so there are some conflicts.” Katzenberg went on to report to the territory. The situation within.

“Then let them learn skills from the dwarves. They all rely on crafts to eat. If their skills are not as good as humans, they will naturally be eliminated. The dwarves are not prohibited from recruiting human apprentices.” Ryan Lightly gave instructions: “I don’t want to learn. Craftsmen can get out.”

“Yes, my Baron, and Deron craftsman said that another group of dwarves learned about the treatment here and tried to settle here. He wanted to ask if you would like to Accept?” Katzenberg took out a parchment and continued.

“How many people?”

“Probably… more than four hundred.”

Ryan thought that the number was okay, not too many, but he didn’t want to The decision was made hastily: “Let’s go to the dwarf’s new home first. Deron seems to be resting today.”

“Then please let me lead the way for you, my Baron.” Katzenberg stood. Get up, four people are on the way under the sun.

After riding a horse for more than half an hour, the dwarf community has arrived.

This is an independent community. The dwarf has built his residence under a hill. Yes, it is under the hill. When Ryan followed the stone road to the dwarf community, he found that the dwarf had already They hollowed out the bottom of the hills, and they created a deep basement group to live in. Only a small number of dwarves are willing to build houses outside. The dwarves’ houses are simple in shape, and most of them choose solid spire stone structures, and they lack decoration outside. In addition to the Divine Idol, the dwarf god, was built in their community.

Two dwarves are standing guard on the watchtower with long fire guns. Seeing Ryan appear, they salute happily, “Hello, Lord Ryan, may your beard be long and beautiful, “

“pu~” Both knight-errant knights couldn’t help laughing. Ryan simply didn’t grow a beard. He did have a little stubble when he came back from the battle, but he shaved very quickly this year. Ryan is twenty-eight years old, not yet the age to grow a beard.

Ryan didn’t say anything in particular, he just smiled: “Thank you, is Mr. Deron here?”

“Oh! My old friend ~ Your Excellency Ryan.” Dwarf Rune craftsman Deron Feinsen came out of the community: “Welcome~”

A few people entered the community, Olivier was like discovering the New World. Looking around, dwarves are nothing rare. Yes, but this was the first time he saw the dwarf community. Hex and Katzenberg tried to keep calm, but they were also curious about the dwarf community.

Many dwarves feel contempt for the curiosity of human beings, thinking that these stupid students are really rare and strange.

Yes, although most dwarves have a good relationship with humans, they believe that humans are their own stupid students. Since the empire and the dwarves formed the “sacred alliance”, the human weapon manufacturing technology was taught by the dwarves. Yes, human siege weapon technology is generously shared by dwarves, and gunpowder technology and steam weapons are selflessly donated by dwarves.

So in the eyes of the dwarves, humans are their friends, and they are also stupid students who don’t have innate talents. Whenever humans have major breakthroughs in technology, dwarves always feel that they can’t make a living, dwarves The Association of Engineers will immediately come up with new research results to suppress human technology, and at the same time show off one’s military strength.

Delong noticed that Ryan was looking around continuously, so he took the initiative to say: “My Baron, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I noticed that your houses are all specially repaired Is there any reason to cover it with huge rocks?” Ryan looked at the dwarf’s stone house. Even though the materials were monotonous, the dwarf still repaired his house very neatly and beautifully, without gorgeous decoration, but there is a unique dwarf’s. Sense of seriousness.

“Building a house is a science, my Baron.” Delong pointed to his stone house: “If the wall is too narrow, the house will be very hot. If the wall is too thick, the house will be It’s going to be very cold.”

The dwarf’s words sounded like an unquestionable answer, and Ryan didn’t care. Deron opened his own door. His house was the largest and most luxurious in the entire community, which was quite close. Three meters high (for the dwarf): “Please come in, Your Excellency Ryan, gentlemen.”

Ryan and several people bent over and entered the room, went to the living room to sit down, and Deron took it out I put several glasses of ale on the table, and brought out some bacon and roasted bacon: “Please take your time. I’m sorry. Your Excellency Ryan is here and should treat you with Bagman beer, but I don’t have it now, but… …Should be available soon. I asked someone to go to Breeze Castle to buy a few barrels.”

“It looks like Mr. Deron is doing well now!” Ryan smiled. Dwarf’s beer tastes very good. It’s thick, and the taste of the meat is also very salty, so it can barely be eaten.

“It’s okay, as you can see, many compatriots are still not used to living under the sky, so they opened up a group of basements in the hills.” Delong touched his white Beard: “I was not used to it when I was at first, my Baron, don’t you think that when you look up towards the sky, do you fear that you will fall into the infinite starry sky?”

“I never think, on the contrary, whenever I look up at the starry sky, I always feel very small.” Ryan shook his head slightly, Deron didn’t care, he went on: “Your Excellency Ryan, You must be here this time because of Sven’s business, right?”

“Yes, I’m not a clansman who doesn’t welcome you. I just want to find out where they came from and what else I need to provide.” Ryan said quietly.

“Yes, I should.” Deron nodded again and again: “He is my friend, named Sven, Sven Nowgreen, a powerful Dwarf Race leader and rune blacksmith, He was an eighty-seven-year-old youngster (dwarves can live at least four hundred years old). His fortress was destroyed by night goblins. Most of his clansman died in the war. After desperate struggles lasted for more than ten years, Swain I finally realized that the remaining four hundred clansmans were not enough to regain the fortress of their ancestors. They needed a place to recuperate, so I suggested that they come here.”

“The remaining clansman of the Novi Green clan is already there. Not many, but they are all excellent fighters. They are willing to exchange their hands for the necessities of survival they want. This can be work or killing, as long as you provide them with a place to live and work, and enough ale .” Deron is not good at words, he can only use this languid remark to try to gain Ryan’s trust.

“Rehabilitation, right?” Ryan thought for a while, and finally nodded: “Okay, let them come, I approve.”

His territory also needs to recuperate.

At this time, there was a Knight who was riding a horse from a distance, and he told Ryan a piece of news.

The king’s envoy has arrived.
