Before the Winter Veil holiday, Ryan, Earl of Glamorgan, officially held a year-end meeting in the winery. Kuangsha Literature Network

Participants are:

Earl Lane and his wife Suria.

Lake God Witch Mogiana.

Tax officer Gasparton, butler Katzenberg.

The banner officer, the holy grail knight Armand.

Kingdom knight Hux, Olivier, Lopus, the newly promoted Kingdom knight Lucien, etc.

Ryan's two courtiers Teresa Trovik and Veronica Bernadotte.

Head of the Division of the Church of Justice, Paladin Alfred.

The newly promoted Lord Winford, Sir Bertrand.

Of course, Maugiana is the most powerful and powerful person in the audience, but the Lake God witch calmly said that I was only here to listen. She was sitting on Ryan’s left hand, holding a delicate hardcover book. Load a book to read, without the meaning of speaking.

The states of Teresa and Veronica are completely different. In the cold weather of Winter Veil, Teresa's mana is particularly strong. Her state is very good, and she seems to want to say something.

As a light and flame wizard, Veronica looked like she couldn't sleep, she didn't have any energy at all. The Witch Garland yawned and wondered when the meeting was over, she would go back to the wizard tower to make up for sleep. Or sit in front of the fireplace, have a fire, read, have a drink, and chat with Ryan, and spend the day comfortably and comfortably.

Routinely, the butler Katzenberg spoke first. The butler reviewed the glorious victory last year, the further development of the territory, the influx of a large amount of wealth, the expansion of the population, the increase of newborns, and how to correct in the new historical period. Respond to a series of opportunities and challenges.

After Katzenberg summarized it roughly, Gasparton, the tax officer, began to speak. The tax officer has been following Ryan for seven years. Now although he is old and in good health, he first coughed, and then said: " From last year’s Winter Veil to the present, the entire Earl’s total tax revenue was 7,326 gold kronor, 5,100 gold kronor was spent, and the balance was about 2,200 gold kroner. The total hoarding of food was enough for the entire earl’s army to eat for one and a half years."

"Country now has a population of about 90,000 people, 3 towns, 38 villages, and several small settlements. There are about 1,800 troops, including 900 standing soldiers and 900 semi-professional soldiers. A levy of five thousand people is enlisted without affecting farming."

"In addition... there are 500 gold kronor extra income from the winery, 2000 gold kronor seized from this war with the Kofun Legion, and about 12,000 gold kronor seized from the conquering of the Blackstone stronghold. This money is guaranteed by the dwarf, Baylor The King of Canada will continue to pay within two years."

After conquering the Blackstone stronghold, the coalition of human dwarves captured a great deal. The wealth of about fifty thousand gold crowns accumulated in the blackstone stronghold. The humans and the dwarves were divided between six and four. Then Ryan was the victor in defeating Gul with François and others. By dividing the accounts for four or six, he can therefore get a fortune of approximately 12,000 gold crowns.

"It's still not fast enough." Kingdom knight Olivier laughed and exclaimed: "There is so much money in one grab. I really want to see if there is still a fortress occupied by vampires in the Gray Mountains?"

"That's probably not there, Olivier, what do you think the Vampire's Castle is? The old guy Kemler has accumulated more than 20 years before he has so much gold and silver." The kingdom knight Lopus has now kept it. Beard, his voice is thicker: "Or do you think we can solve an entire army of undead on our own?"

"Impossible. If this war were not for the large groups of knights of the Weinford Principality, the elites of the Quinalis Champion Knight Brotherhood, and the participation of wood elves and dwarves, we would not have won such a brilliant victory." Hex Spoke up.

This kingdom knight is thirty years old this year, and he is still alone. During the battle of the Blackstone Stronghold, his face was torn apart by the claws of a bloodthirsty heavenly ghost, leaving a few hideous scars, even if it was not a wood elf. The medicine was so effective that he almost lost an eye.

After returning to the territory to cultivate for a period of time, Hucks was still pale and in bad condition. However, his scars were the best military medal. Now among the knights of the kingdom, he has a faintly headed posture.

As for Lucien from Winford College, he did something in this war, successfully beheading two desolate guards in the back and forth battle. With the military merits and the pillow wind from Su Liya, he also made sense. He was promoted to a knight of the kingdom and obtained a fief in half of the village.

"Count, our next plan should be to stabilize production, expand the army, and prepare to cross the Charon Forest and attack the Spire Palace." Lucien proposed the next policy: "The Spire Palace is the legal territory of our earldom. We have the power to claim, and we should take it back."

"The Spire Palace must be retaken, but what we must do now is to recuperate and conserve our strength. In this battle alone, our army has also been exhausted. Soldiers need training and replenishment, and the knight rebels must learn how to become Qualified knight, earl, I don't think we should send troops at will within two years." Hex raised an objection.

"I think we should take this big victory and attack the Spire Palace when the morale is strong!" Olivier agreed with Lucien's point of view. He repeatedly said: "We can set off immediately after the Winter Veil and carry the artillery. We only need to be in the forest. You can reach the Spire Palace within ten days of the march. As long as there is no accident, you should be able to take down the castle easily."

"I don't agree. It's easy to win the Spire Palace, but how do we defend it? How do we deal with the counterattack of the undead?" Armand also disagrees. The Holy Grail knight said: "Olivier, I will give you five hundred people. Fifty knights, one sergeant and four hundred serfs, can you hold the spire palace? Five days?"

Olivier thought for a while, and he shook his head in frustration: "Persist in two days at most."

"So... you still want to play the Apex Palace now." Lopus also asked.

"Of course, how do you know if you don't try it? I think the vampire probably has no spare energy to fight back. Didn't the black knight who claimed to be Duke Mousillon retreat after confronting Duke Raun for ten days? Maybe he was busy hiding. In Mu Xilong, lick the wound, right?" Olivier still insisted: "I just need to stay through this winter and wait until the weather turns warmer."

"I also think it is feasible to attack the Apex Palace." Teresa spoke. The sorcerer is wearing an ice blue clear sleeved skirt with dignified slits today. Because she is powerful in the winter, it is time to try. She did not act in this war, and was consciously crushed by Veronica: "Ryan, what do you think?"

"..." Veronica's face was calm, she performed very well in this war, and the power of the light magic vehicle made everyone look at her. In this case, she doesn't need to express herself, nor is she powerful in winter. when.

The pressure came to Ryan, and Su Liya glanced at her husband, but the female knight said nothing.

The power of the countess has been infiltrating Ryan's team, but as long as Ryan did not speak, Su Liya never made a decision in front of her husband. She knew who was the head of the family.

Ryan weighed it for a while, and finally spoke.

"You must be cautious about Moussilon's offensive. Once you attack the spire palace, it means full-scale war with Moussilon. At present, we are not able to fight the black knight." Ryan finally shook his head and vetoed the issue: "At least not now."

Territories are never bigger, the better and the more the better. Now it’s easy to attack the spire palace, but it’s difficult to defend. This pull back and forth will consume a lot of energy. Ryan has just finished fighting with Kemmler. , His territory and his people need to rest.

Ryan's prestige in the territory is naturally unparalleled. No one dared to question his decision, so this issue died down.

"The plan for the next year is mainly to recuperate, train and reorganize the army, and at the same time expand the size of the army by two hundred people." Lane said his plan: "Train, then strengthen."

"Yes!" Hecks nodded, and he wrote it down.

"Collect enough orphans and gifted serf children, and send them to train craftsmen, blacksmiths, and engineers for dwarves. We are going to set up a small academy. You have seen the power of dwarves’ weapons. As long as they are used well, this will Let the future of the kingdom be infinitely beneficial!"

"Yes!" Katzenberg expressed his understanding.

"Finally, about this year's assessment..." The final highlight came, and Ryan handed out the year-end award in the eyes of everyone's expectations.

"Grant the title of Baron Hex Devin, the Knight of the Kingdom!"

"Grant Olivier the Fearless and Dwarven Rune Plate One!"

"Two hundred Lucien gold crowns are awarded for encouragement!"

…………

The generous year-end awards make everyone smile, and they still have a future with the earl.

After everyone received generous rewards, Ryan said with a smile: "Finally, we want to thank someone in particular, who rashly came out and led his subordinates to surrender to me as soon as I promulgated the "German Order". ..."

Everyone's eyes turned to Bertrand, who was in the last seat. The Green Arrow got sweat on his forehead and quickly stood up.

Lord is a relatively special title. In Brittania, the Lord is awarded to those who have made extremely high contributions to certain things. After receiving the title of Lord, they are generally called knights and enjoy a high social status. Others call him adding a "sir", which is already the highest level of reward that serfs can get, but the knighthood is not hereditary. It is just close to the nobility and does not enter the ranks of the knight aristocracy in a real sense.

Therefore, even if he had the qualifications to participate in the year-end meeting, Bertrand would only accompany the last seat, trembling, not daring to say a word, but he was already the object of envy and jealousy of all the serfs of the entire earl.

"In the battle of La-Messenel Abbey, he used the black arrow to kill Kemler, which played a vital role in the process and results of the whole battle." Lane continued: "So, I grant you the title of Lord. This is a reward for your military exploits, but on this year-end meeting, I have one more thing to give you."

A green woodland recurve bow was brought in by the attendant. Bertrand knew with his eyes how much competition this recurve bow would have if it were put on the market. This recurve bow was owned by Esso Loren. Made of forest branches, the bow is surrounded by green leaves and vines, the blessing of the hunting **** is added to the bow, and the golden carving of the power of the spark is flowing with phantom light.

"This is a gift I customized to the Wood Elf, the Woodland Spark recurve bow." Lane handed the recurve bow to Bertrand: "This is your reward, madam, I hope you will continue to reward me with honor and loyalty. Commendation!"

"Yes! My earl, Bertrand must live up to your trust!" Bertrand knelt and took the bow. Ryan noticed that his shoulders were trembling violently. The jazz's excitement was evident from this.

Also, serfs and nobles, war horses and knights, Bretania has come here for thousands of years. Bertrand himself knows best what it means to be a knight.

"Don't be too happy, I have a task for you here." Ryan smiled and patted Bertrand on the shoulder: "Duke Hagen of Gisoleaux needs a troop to help the dwarves clear the rebellion in the Gray Mountains. Serfs and thieves, the mountains are not suitable for knights to lead soldiers, so I thought of you, Bertrand, you may need to spend this year's Winter Veil in the barracks."

"Must live up to the count of the count!" Bertrand said loudly, "please give orders from the count!"

"Well, you pick three hundred people from the Sharon Forest Patrol Battalion, and I will give you two hundred halberds and Ugol archers to form a battalion, you will be the battalion commander, remember, this time King Belega is the commander-in-chief, fighting in the mountains, watch more, learn more, ask more, express less opinions, and obey the command of King Belega."

"Yes!"

After the meeting ended, Ryan found Teresa and Veronica. The female warlock was obviously unhappy that Ryan had not promised herself. She snorted and stood up and wanted to leave. Ryan grabbed her with a smile. "What's the matter, dear Teresa? Why ignore me?"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do with you now, and you don't listen to what I said. Why am I staying here after the meeting?" The female warlock did not give Ryan a good face. Obviously she still did not agree with Ryan before. Proposing and brooding.

"Ha~ Have you finished the quarrel? I want to go back to sleep after the quarrel. The only thing I want to do in this ghostly weather is to hide in the warm bed, reading and drinking." Veronica yawned badly. , Witch Garland took Ryan's arm: "Ryan, do you want to come to me? We can chat, make dinner together, and give you a beautiful woman to accompany you in the evening~"

"Okay, stop making trouble, Veronica." Ryan patted Veronica, then turned to Teresa and said, "I heard that you have a problem with the construction of the Wizard Tower?"

"I encountered some small problems." Teresa actually didn't really have an opinion on Ryan. The female warlock just took the opportunity to lose her temper and find a sense of presence on Ryan's side: "Do you want to see it?"

"Let's go, Veronica, let's go see what trouble Teresa is having."

"Hey~ this little princess... okay, okay."
