"Is it Marienburg?" After reading the letter, the Griffin Duke'handed' back to the emperor's hand: "My Majesty, what do you think?"
"Marinburg is the territory of the empire, this is the most basic...!" Karl-Franz signaled that the two people can turn back: "I think we must recognize the fact that Marienburg is the territory of the empire, but Not counted as subjects of the empire."
"However, these subjects are far more wealthy than their masters." The Griffin Duke spoke solemnly, and his blue'colored' eyes were full of brilliance: "My Majesty, I think we will undoubtedly send troops in this battle, but we may We can take this opportunity to recover part of Marienburg's sovereignty... or at least let these business princes spit out enough gold."
"I think so too... My Duke, I have plenty of time, let's talk." Griffon's death claw swept across the forest and landed in front of the two. The emperor rode on and the Duke Griffon blew a whistle. The huge griffon that is not inferior to the death claw roars from Griffon Cliff. This is the mount of the Duke of Griffon-the Beast's Disaster.
The emperor and the duke rode griffins across the sky at great speed and arrived at the Griffin Castle.
At the top of the mountain cliff hundreds of meters high, there are golden'colored' angel statues and griffon statues soaring. The Griffon Castle is built on the mountain. The 30-meter-high city wall surrounds the bottom of the mountain, a majestic and magnificent city. Built on this sacred mountain, it embraces the Duke of Griffin.
The Griffin Castle is divided into five floors. Each floor has independent walls and entrances. The road to the top of the fortress winds around the mountain. Various guards are densely distributed in each section of the giant castle. Many griffins circled the castle happily.
The land of the Duke of Griffin is very fertile, with rice paddies and orchards everywhere. Each'private' farm has fences, barns, and kilns, and many ditches flow down the mountain, cross this verdant land, and enter the Rick River. This is also a typical landform symbol of the emperor's straight collar—— Rickling, under the direct rule of the emperor himself, is an extremely rich plain with a mild climate, fertile soil and a large population.
Back to the Duke's mansion at the top of the castle, the Duke opened the secret room. This secret room was used to discuss confidential matters. The whole room has only one entrance. The remaining three directions are all cliffs. Enter the room, warm. The fire has been lit, and the servants have arranged various'colors', fruits, food and red wine in the room. Seeing the emperor and duke enter, the servants saluted and then pulled the heavy big'door' and retired.
Karl-Franz sat in the main seat. He threw the letter on the table and smiled bitterly at Ivan: "Okay, my Duke, let's discuss what we are going to do."
"Call me Ivan directly, Your Majesty." Ivan Ferdinand sat on the long sofa to the left of the emperor. The Duke Griffin already knew what the emperor meant.
Sending troops to support Marienburg is a 'fat' trip, there is no doubt about it.
The war with Greenskins could not get too many seizures, but Marienburg is rich. This prosperous old world's largest port city can be described as rich and oily. In the case of urban crisis, Marienburg House will definitely have to spend a lot of real money. Only gold and silver can satisfy the appetite of the empire, so the biggest beneficiary will be the coach leading the reinforcements.
Sure enough, just as Ivan had expected, the emperor said: "Ivan, this time the war will let the Griffins go for a drive and get some fresh air."
"My Majesty, don't you lead the army yourself?" The Griffin Duke's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all.
"I have other things to do. This time the reinforcements will be'handed over' to you." Karl-Franz quietly ordered: "Then tell me, Ivan, how do you plan to fight this war?"
"We are facing a lot of difficulties. My Majesty, the rebellion in many places has just been put down, and the new territory that has just been put down needs enough troops to maintain law and order." Ivan raised his wine glass: "Next is'spring' farming. In the season, the number of troops we can recruit may be much less, a big waaagh! We need enough troops to deal with."
"I will deploy more swordsmen and musketeers for you, but you still need to conscript enough troops. The military expenses will be borne by the Marienburg side. Don't worry about this." Karl Franz from Ivan- Ferdinand took the wine glass with his hand, and the emperor shook his head: "The Griffin Knights cannot be moved lightly. You can go with up to three companies of knights this time."
"Well, the number of troops is expected to be less, and... Marienburg told us that we can't defend the city, we must fight in the field." Duke Griffin took a sip of the red wine: "For the field, we need enough knights."
"The Knights of the Flames of the Sun are heading to the south to assist the Brescia leader to eliminate the Beastmen. The Rick guard needs to rest. The number of knights is not enough. It is difficult for us to defeat the greenskin army in the wild." Ivan frowned. Of course he knew this. The war is a "fat" trip, but the shortage of troops is also a problem. Due to the next series of things such as "spring farming", it may be difficult for him to recruit enough soldiers. The standing army in various regions has just put down the rebellion because many territories have just put down the rebellion. Not easy to move.
Rick guards an imperial army, which is more like the "private" army of Karl Franz and his family. If the emperor himself does not dispatch, Rick guards will not dispatch. The Griffin Knights are the country's most important thing. The weapon cannot be easily shown, so the Duke of Griffin had to face the situation of lack of troops.
"Can I seek reinforcements? My Majesty? I need enough knights."
"Who will you seek reinforcements from?" Karl-Franz agreed with Duke Ivan's point of view, but the emperor gave restrictions: "It's best not to let other electors 'intervene' in Marienburg's affairs."
"On the opposite side of the gray'color' mountain range, doesn't the Empire still have our knight allies?" The Griffin Duke's eyes flashed with wisdom: "The knights don't need'spring' ploughing, nor will they treat Marienburg There are ideas, as long as a sum of gold can send them."
"Very good." The emperor nodded: "Then let's start."
...
In February, in the afternoon, Ryan Macado's home, 53 Amber Avenue, Marienburg.
In the recent period of time, Marienburg's public security has been a bit chaotic. The news that the green-skinned army is being assembled is not known by whom, so people are panicked. All kinds of doomsday speeches are spreading wildly. Marienburg's House. I had to suppress it many times, and then promised that the green-skinned army would not be able to fight here, and the imperial reinforcements arrived soon, which reluctantly suppressed the "chaotic" people.
But this can't affect the tranquility of Amber Avenue, because if Marienburg even has 'chaos' in this area, then it's not far from being completely finished.
In the study on the second floor, Ryan was sitting behind his desk reading a book. The weather outside today was not good, so he happened to stay at home to rest.
"Boom boom boom~" The 'door' of the study was knocked, and Ryan raised his head: "Please come in!"
The little'maid' servants Emilia and Miranda walked in. They were carrying refreshments and juices. The two'girls' children were dressed in black and white'maid' costumes, white and'color' stockings and deerskin small. With short boots, a white turban and long hair tied up, Emilia said first: "Mr. Lane, the afternoon tea is here."
After a period of time, Emilia has become accustomed to calling Ryan by her name.
"Master." Miranda has no such treatment, she must call the master.
"Oh! You are here, put the things over there, Emilia, you keep it." Ryan stood up and motioned to put the plate on the reception desk in front of the study, not near the desk and books.
"Yes!" The two little'maid' servants should be. Emilia stayed. Miranda looked at Emilia with extreme envy. The little'maid' servant actually had a pretty good look towards her. Self-confident, the starting price of the auction is 100 gold marks, which also illustrates this point, but from Emilia's appearance and temperament, she is still more than one thing worse. Emilia is like a spring in the mountains, sweet and sweet. Well, many times Miranda wondered how exactly Emilia became Ryan's servant girl?
Since coming to this home, there is no imaginary torture and abuse, no imaginary fate of being used as a fertility tool, Miranda has discovered that she is really just being a'maid' servant, not only that, but what she enjoys here. The food is good even when she is a young lady at home. As the head of the family, Ryan is strong, handsome, tall, gentle and knowledgeable. Miranda even thinks that if he really regards himself as a fertility machine NS.
No, the little 'maid' servant discovered that this human hero sometimes looks at her 'legs' wearing white 'color' silk stockings, but never intends to do anything to her, or even hints.
That dark 'jing' is so beautiful, and I have never seen what Ryan does to her. At night Miranda often rests with her in a servant's room, and only Emilia can make him look different.
With envy, longing, and a little unwillingness, Miranda carefully withdrew from the study.
Only Ryan and Emilia are left in the room.
"Emilia, there has been a lot of noise outside recently, don't care, the reinforcements of the empire will arrive soon." Ryan motioned to his little'maid' servant to come over.
Emilia mentioned the 'maid' maid's dress and sat next to Ryan, her sweet little face was a little worried: "But... Mr. Ryan is about to fight again, right?"
Ryan smiled and said: "There are no knights who don't fight, just look a little bit away, there are still many days before the arrival of the green-skinned army."
"Well, I listen to Mr. Ryan." The little'maid' blushed and didn't want to say more. She sat next to Ryan, and the two enjoyed afternoon tea together, but there was some worry between her expressions and looks. .
"Is there anything going on at home during this time?" After tasting the 'fine' cakes made by the 'girl's children, Ryan asked his concerns.
"Actually...nothing big happened, but there are two things I think it is necessary to let Mr. Lane know." Emilia thought for a moment: "The first thing is about Miranda. She saw that Mr. Lane liked it. I secretly shortened the skirt, and I was taught a lesson by saying that the length of the skirt was designed by Mr. Lane."
"Hahahahaha!" Ryan laughed: "I think this is actually very appropriate, especially when there are outsiders."
In the case of outsiders? Emilia suddenly realized that Ryan had something to say, and Sure enough Ryan secretly thought: He also has customized short ones, but the ones are not suitable for usual wear. If you have the opportunity, you can'privately' let Emilia try. Try it and see how it works on her.
Seeing that Ryan hadn't responded for a long time, Emilia lowered her head and said in a low voice, "There is another thing, Mr. Ryan."
"Yeah, you said." Ryan knew that he was about to think about it. This'girl' was very shy about some things, and looked very weak in front of him.
"That... the dark'jing' spirit, almost never speaks, but... According to Miranda, she often said strange dreams when she was dreaming at night, and then suddenly woke up, Miranda said she seemed to be in pain. "Emilia then said the second thing.
"Wake up from sleep? Strange dream talk?" Now Ryan noticed the incident: "Did Miranda tell you how often? Does this happen every night?"
"Yes, it happens every night. Miranda complains that she can't stand it anymore. So this time I put a'bed' for her in the corner of the living room and let her sleep alone." Emilia looked very Troubled.
Hmm... The high-quality captive was originally a nobleman, but his strength is now inferior to ordinary people. He had a nightmare at night. Ryan thought about it for a moment. He knew that the high-level spirit would definitely move in Olica's body through magic. If she loses her hands and feet, it either deprives her of her potential or hurts her soul, ensuring that she can only be a slave and can't do anything else.
He'd better check what is going on with Olica.
"Actually, Emilia, I never planned to ask Olica." Ryan continued. He felt that he had to explain to his little'maid' servant a little bit: "Now it is like this. The details of'Jing' Ling are completely unclear, it is simply a time bomb."
"But... Mr. Lane still accepted it." Who knows Emilia replied weakly: "If you really don't want it, Mr. Lane can not accept it."
The Grey Knight Gene Primarch blushed, speechless.
"Puff~" Emilia looked at Ryan in embarrassment, and smiled secretly, covering her mouth. She suddenly felt that this kind of life was very sweet, and she felt so sweet in her heart.
The atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while.
Until a huge gryphon cut through the sky, its loud roar pierced through the sky, across the entire Amber Avenue: "Ugh!!!"
"This voice is! It's the griffin of the godfather, the sound of the plague of wild beasts!" Ryan stood up subconsciously, his face moved, ecstatic, and a little uneasy.
He did not notice that the expression on Emilia's face had also changed, and the expression of 'mixed' mixed with panic and admiration flashed across the face of the little 'maid' servant.
This state did not last long, and an elegant mature male voice sounded outside the house, but the voice was quite loud.
"Ryan! You brat! Get out of me!"
"It's the godfather! The Duke of Griffin is here!"
