Warhammer Divine Throne

“The bad news is…Perhaps Rig is coming sooner than expected!” Albert took out the map and pointed to the pass on the map: “Ok Pass The time that can be resisted is shorter than imagined! According to the information from the front-line messenger, under a terrifying sacrifice, more Barbarian Race raiders have been upgraded to Barbarian Race warriors or even Chaos warriors!”

The terrifying of Chaos Warriors has already been mentioned above.

The deterioration of the situation made several people present frowned.

“So the good news?” Ryan had accepted the bad news in his heart, so he went on to ask.

“The good news is…The seven thousand reinforcements from the Empire are already on the way, and our messenger has contacted him. As long as we persist for three days, we only need to persist for three days!” Bert said quite excitedly, and the wrinkles around his eyes slowly unfolded.

This forty-year-old lord has not fought many wars since he took the throne. The most important military action is to eliminate robbers and a small number of wild beasts. This time he suddenly faced the pressure of the army. Actually very nervous.

“Then we will count as Birrigg breaking through the Oak Pass in just two hours.” Albert motioned to Ryan and said.

Neither the earl nor his two knights are proficient in battle.

Ryan put his finger on Oak Pass: “If Birrig breaks through Oak Pass, his next action is to cross the Ovre River and go straight to the town of Mijolden Haven. .”

“So my plan is that we will send troops on the Aarhus Bridge over the Ovre River to respond, and then sniper Bireg’s army first. If we cannot hold on to the river, we Then retreat back to the city.” Ryan gave his own suggestion-defense in depth.

“So…Ryan, your proposal is…field battle?” Earl Albert and his two Knights looked at each other in blank dismay, Knight and Niclair hesitated for a while, still hesitating “I said, is this a bit… too risky?”

“Yeah… Mr. Ryan, I think… Maybe it would be better for us to rely on the city wall to stick to it? Upstairs There are artillery and all kinds of city guards, which will also make people feel more at ease.” Bamboo pole Knight Valdemar also opposed this opinion.

“We can’t just guard the city like this!” Ryan said dissatisfied, and he told the earl and the two Knights the theory he had previously told Ester.

In the past, facing the enemy, the idea of ​​relying on the city wall to defend itself is the most stupid. In the defense of the city, the city wall is always the last 2nd line of defense.

The two Knights still did not speak. They could see that they were unable to refute Ryan’s decision, but they could not cooperate.

Ryan was stunned at first, but he immediately realized that there was a problem with his way of expression: “Gentlemen, I don’t mean we are going to fight the clansman in the wild. I mean, we’re going to Relying on the Aarhus Bridge, try to delay Birrig’s marching time as much as possible. In the end, we must withdraw to the back of the city wall and defend firmly.”

Ryan first put his finger on the Okk Pass: “Okk Pass There are two hundred defenders garrisoned. This pass has a strong city wall and defensive equipment. The clansman came from afar, lacking enough siege weapons, and a sufficient number of cavalry, so even if Okeguan was attacked by the clansman. Broken, the defenders still have a chance to retreat. These soldiers are elites who have fought against the Barbarian Race. They are important forces. We should try to accommodate them to retreat. Am I right? Gentlemen? Your Excellency Earl?”

The three people all nodded subconsciously. The two hundred defenders are regular soldiers. If they can successfully accept their retreat, this force will play a pivotal role in defending the city.

“After receiving the Occan Guards, we will send troops to the Aarhus Bridge…Listen to me, gentlemen, we will definitely not be able to hold this bridge, but we can delay enough time, and then …We can spread gunpowder on this bridge, and when we can’t keep it, we will blow up the bridge.” Ryan continued: “The clansman abandoned a large amount of luggage and marched so hard. They wanted to cross the river very seriously. Trouble, don’t forget, at this time, the Ovre River has just begun to freeze. While the river is turbulent, the surface of the river is either a large piece of broken ice floating, or the ice layer is thinner than a parchment! Whatever clansman It takes a lot of time to choose a bridge or shipbuilding!”

Albert summed it up and finally nodded: “You are right, all we have to do now is to buy time.”

“I agree! I will personally lead the soldiers to the Aarhus Bridge for defense!” Walnut Knight Nikolay spoke, and the thirty-something Knight of the Kingdom stood up.

“Then I will be responsible for the defense of the city. When you retreat, I will immediately lead the army to respond.” Bamboo pole Knight Valdemar nodded.

“Then this way, I will go to Aarhus Bridge together with Mr. Niclair to set up defense.” Ryan saw that Albert didn’t plan to go out of the city, so he took the initiative to take the job.

“I will dispatch five hundred soldiers to you. The two hundred standing army and three hundred conscripts will all be handed over to you for command. As for the safety of the city, you don’t have to worry.” Albert His eyes became fierce: “I have a guard, this time, must tell these damn clansman to come back and forth!”

“Understand!”

Everyone ran towards each other. Elsewhere, it was agreed that the crowd would gather in the barracks in three hours, and it would take time to deploy the army and food.

Ryan walked towards a hut in the town.

As the season deepens into winter, the weather is getting colder and colder. The roads are crowded with victims. Many people are shivering in the cold corners. The houses are also full of people. Ryan can Many silhouettes can be seen from the window.

After discussing with Albert, he got a very bad news-the defenders and nobles of this city are not at all Legendary powerhouse, and the Knights of both kingdoms are elite. , They can become the foundation of the Kingdom Knight or because they are the Knight Aristocratic Family.

The strength of these two guys is not very strong, one is an elite knight-errant, the other is an elite fighter.

But the crushing bear is Legendary’s high-level Barbarian Race chief! The chaos warrior blessed by the blood god!

He came to a long house and knocked on the door.

“Hello! Excuse me?” A youngster opened the door.

It’s Ike, the expression on his face becomes more subtle when he sees Ryan standing at the door.

“Son of Gade, now it’s your turn to repay my favor. Let me play.” His voice was cold and frosty in reply.

………………

Three hours later.

An army of five hundred men went out of the city under the leadership of Ryan and the others.

This army consists of two hundred long halberd soldiers with shields, one hundred Swordsman and two hundred crossbowmen, apart from this, and a dozen cavalry.

Albert trusts Ryan quite a bit, he puts his main force in Ryan’s hands, and ordered Nikolay to also be controlled by Ryan.

This is the function of prestige. If Ryan’s prestige is at the national level, then Niclair’s prestige is at the village and town level at the most. Ryan is the white Wolf Knight in the White Wolf Knight group. Walnut… There is no Knight group.

“Hello Mr. Ryan, I am Lopus!” A Knight who uses long halberd came out from behind: “I have heard of your name for a long time, and I am honored to be able to fight with you. .”

“I remember you were… the son of Lord Moshon? We met.” Ryan said strangely, he recognized this youngster, he was the son of Lord Hyde, Lord Moshen,’Zizi ‘Hyde has many children, and Lopus is one of them with ability, but why is he here now?

“Yes, we met. I am a wandering Knight now. I am very honored to meet you.” Lopus is a youngster with a golden head and some childish faces on his face. His face is more delicate and pretty, and there is a little pockmark on his face. He is wearing a full set of plate armor and a kite helmet. He seems to have some beards on his mouth to appear mature. From the appearance, he should be the same age. Ryan is similar.

“Wandering Knight? What made you choose to wander?” Ryan asked casually, “Did you sleep with your father’s maid? You were driven out?”

It was a cloudy day. Since he set off, Nord’s weather has been very bad, and the mood of this unit is the same as the weather now. Everyone’s face is full of clouds.

The morale of the soldiers is low, and the faces of the officers are not good.

“I chose it myself.” Lopus smiled forcefully: “After witnessing an unfair trial, I don’t think there is much to be treated in the family. The original father’s title is not available. I came to inherit, so I decided to go out and wander.”

“…also.” Ryan nodded, there are various reasons for the emergence of the wandering Knight, the first wife’s eldest son inheritance system is mainland China The general inheritance law, in this case, only the first wife’s eldest son can inherit the title of nobles, and other children can get at most a small piece of feast.

In this case, many noble children will become wandering Knights.

After speaking, he looked at Ike, who was riding a horse behind him with a look of shame.

Ike Albrecht, the legal illegalimate child of Albrecht Baron, led by Imperial Wallrich, his father is the fifth company commander of the White Wolf Knight regiment “Hawk Hook” Gade -Albrecht Baron.

What is a legal illegality child?

illegitimate child is a symbol of shame for the nobles. This kind of wild species will generally be swept out. If there are nobles who dare to bring home the illegal child from themselves and the lowly farmers and peasant girls, then the nobles The wife’s abuse of these illegal children will be protected by imperial law.

However, there are two situations in which illegal child will not be regarded as a symbol of shame.

first means that the parents of the illegal child are both nobles or figures respected by human society. In this case, the illegal child will not be considered lowly, such as the founding emperor of the new empire, Ludwig and The first speaker of the Garland Council, Sacred Domain, the witch Margarita, is a lover relationship, and the illegal child they gave birth to is not considered lowly.

second is the illegitimate child’s maid from a noble lady, or a female courtier in the noble court. In this case, the illegitimate child does not have inheritance rights, but his heir status is also recognized by the society.

The identities of the above two illegal children will be “legalized”.

Ike is second.

So why did Ike dare to beg him like that? Why did Ike disrespect him during the trip and Ryan didn’t say anything.

The real reason is that Ike’s “fighting side by side” friendship does not refer to the friendship between Ike and him, but Ryan and his father, White Wolf Knight. De-Albrecht Baron fought side by side in order to wipe out the wild beast on the banks of the Ovre River.

So in fact, Ryan is giving his father face. Ryan knows the reason for this, and Ike also knows it. Ryan is concerned that Gade’s reputation has not been broken, which makes the wandering Knight feel ashamed.

He has done too many things for survival and fame.

After Ryan found Ike, I knew that the wandering Knights knew that the Barbarian Race was coming, and they had to collect money for a boat to go to sea overnight. They didn’t know where those people had gone. Only Ike stayed. Come down, because he bears this surname, if he flees in front of Ryan in this situation, his family will be ashamed of him.

From this we can see how heavy the pressure this wandering Knight is carrying.

Guide Baron has never mentioned his son in front of Ryan. Obviously he doesn’t like this illegal child.

Thinking of this, Ryan sneered. What qualifications do he have to think about others?

What is oneself?

A traversing celestial person?

Innate talent Amazing wild child?

“Bald” Norman’s beloved adopted son?

Godfather Ivan’s proud godson?

Or the emperor’s…illegitimate child?

“Mr. Ryan! We have arrived at Moon Lake.” The master chief in charge of the team saw that Ryan was wandering, so he reminded him in a low voice.

Ryan finally came back to his senses, and what appeared in front of Ryan was a ruin.

A quiet lake appeared in front of Ryan’s eyes, and the lake covered with thin ice stretched to an invisible distance. The cloudy weather was like a thick curtain, completely covering the sky. , And the jade-like surface of the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the white light between Heaven and Earth.

In an instant, Ryan had an illusion that the sky and the ground seemed to be upside down.

Around the Moon Lake, a large forest and building ruins appeared in front of everyone. The buildings here were all built with large blocks of white stone, and they all adopted spires, but under the devastation of the years Most of these buildings collapsed, and the unusually strong trees continuously eroded the original building complex.

There was also a glorious past and history here. According to the news that Ryan knew, this was once one of the strongholds and settlements of the elves before they withdrew from the mainland, and there was also a glorious history and prosperity. , It is said that in the human wizarding empire before the catastrophe, there were many human wizard apprentices here to learn magic from elves.

Later when the elves retreated from the old world, the city was completely abandoned. Because this was a place for studying magic, the chaotic magical energy and frequent energy tides made it uninhabitable. After thousands of years of uninterrupted adventurer patronage, the treasures and wealth that may be left here have been excavated. Except for the occasional few spellcasters who come here like a pilgrimage, it is usually a dead silence.

“We will be stationed here tonight! We can get to Aarhus Bridge tomorrow.”

“Yes!”
