Warhammer Divine Throne

The root of power is the alienation of the division of labor, which is equivalent to the asymmetry of information under the hierarchical system.

Therefore, when a person becomes a nobleman and becomes part of the existing power system, whether he is rich or poor, whether he is smart or stupid, his instinct must be to maintain this power system. It is to ensure one’s own dominance, which is human nature.

In other words, with the continuous extension and inheritance of the hierarchical system, and with the further asymmetry of information, the ruling class will gradually come up with similar ideas-the origin of my power is reasonable, and I deserve to enjoy it. These powers.

This forms a logical closed loop-now I have power because I am worthy of these powers (the gods give sanctity, noble bloodline, military exploits, etc.), because I am power Owner, so I exercise my power is completely reasonable, because this is my thing.

But actually, is it?

Under everyone’s eyes, Ryan looked at all the great nobles present, and a lot of thoughts flashed through the king’s heart.

Actually, it is not at all. As I said before, the root of power is the alienation of the division of labor. In fact, countless serfs and freedmen surrender part of their power and turn in part of their income so that Some people leave production to protect themselves. This is the origin of the Knight aristocracy and the inevitable result of a period of limited productivity.

After a long time, many Knight aristocrats have forgotten this.

Now it has been revealed that the fairy in the lake is an elf god, which opens a gap in the logical closed loop of the Knight aristocrats.

“So we have to talk about this now, whether we like it or not, we have to talk about it, when the lady in the lake tells us that she is the fairy Goddess Lilith, what should we do? “Ryan continued his speech, and the king moved towards everyone present: “I think, these days, everyone here must have thought about a lot, a lot.”

“It’s pretending that nothing happened. , Continue to let a spirit god with pointed ears sit on our heads?”

A deep bright light shone on Ryan’s face, and there was a little noise in the field.

“Hurry up and change our minds to find us a new god? Charlemagne? Urik? Tal? Milmidia? Or some other Phoenix Lord Asu Yan or Blood Hand Kane? We Bretonians can’t wait to bow before a new god, called father, asking them to take in these homeless children, and asking them to accept us like other believers?”

The noise in the venue gradually increased, and almost everyone was shaking their heads.

“Impossible!”

“We are Bretonians, how can we do such a thing?”

“Uric? What kidding, I hate the sorrow of wolf pups the most!”

“Tal will make us Barbarian!”

“Milmidia? No, I I’m afraid that if this continues, the Bretons’ battle cry will never sound again in the world.”

“The Estalians will control our army and castle in the name of Mirmidia. !”

Ryan gave everyone twenty seconds to discuss, and then the king said with a smile: “Then maybe we can do this. I will let the cabinet draft the document and announce that starting today, Brittany Ya no longer believes in any gods, all the temples of ladies in the lake, all burned! All Goddess shrines, all smashed! The glorious history of all Bretons should be nailed to the stake and be nailed to the stake. Throw it in the trash, our so-called glory is nothing more than a pile of shit made up of lies. Is it time to abandon them?”

The noise in the venue is even louder. Almost all Knights The nobles all showed disgusting expressions, and everyone shook their heads.

“No, it can’t be like this.”

“No, I can’t accept it!”

“King Your Majesty. This is not a sane plan.”

“The person who thinks this way is crazy, my Your Majesty.”

“Very good.” Ryan signaled everyone to be quiet again. The king was silent for a few seconds. Lightly used The small wooden hammer knocked on the tabletop: “Then, I ask everyone here, you are all the dignitaries of my Bretania, and you are all the noble elites of my Bretania, I ask everyone here a question. “

“If our Goddess, the fairy in the lake, is completely abandoned by us, what will happen to us in Bretania?” Ryan then asked: “Have you really thought about it?”

p>

The whole audience was silent.

“I admit that some people will benefit.” Ryan turned his eyes to the large group of Knights from the “Free Bretania” faction sitting on the right. The king grinned, both sneer and Contempt: “Because they have reasonable and legal excuses to seize more manors, castles and lands, and get more titles!”

“They can personally take the Holy Grail Cathedral of Curona. Burn to ashes! Because it’s a lady’s thing!”

“They can demolish the lion ring racecourse by themselves, demolish the thousand-year-old sculpture on it, and throw all the tapestries on the ground. Foot trample, because it’s a lady’s thing!”

“They can put other flags in Bastogne, in Polderro, in our palace of Curona. And those flags that symbolize our millennium glory will only be thrown into the fire!”

The audience was in an uproar. The 800-odd nobles present thought of this scene, a kind of incomparable The deep chill soaked their spine.

Is this destroying the fairy in the lake?

If you want to destroy the kingdom of man, you must first destroy its history.

This is the foundation of their Knight aristocrats! ! !

After all the fairies in the lake disappeared in Bretania, then the Knight culture and the entire kingdom will no longer exist!

However, if you want to completely abandon the fairies in the lake, these people must do so, otherwise, how can “free Bretania” and “New Bretania” be completely distinguished from the fairies in the lake limit?

All the nobles can feel the blood surging on their faces.

Never, never let this happen.

“Ladies and gentlemen, do this, right?”

“No!”

“Do this, right?” Ryan continued Tao.

“No!!!!”

“Can we do this?” The king’s voice spread throughout the Congress Hall.

“Never! Never! Never!!!” All the great nobles in the inner hall, and even the four thousand kingdom Knights in the outer hall, the excited roars spread into the entire Congress hall.

“Okay, very good!” Ryan put his hand behind his ear, he moved towards everyone said with a smile: “I heard it, I heard your voice, very good, look Come, you guys don’t want to see this scene happen, I heard it, thank you everyone.”

Thunderous applause sounded, applauding for their king.

Succinctly and concisely, Ryan is thinking of them.

After dozens of seconds, the congress hall gradually became quiet. Ryan continued: “But there must be many people who still feel awkward. We are the descendants of the proud Bretons. How can we Believe in an alien god? Even more how, she has deceived us for thousands of years, shouldn’t she apologize for this, shouldn’t she pay the price for taking advantage of us, can she just treat it like nothing happened? “

Everyone here nodded, yeah, this level can’t be passed.

The set up Sect Knights headed by Berhemond all showed entangled expressions. Yes, they are unable to pass this level. It is difficult to continue to persuade themselves to continue to believe in an alien god. ?

Not acceptable!

“So, before I do this, I must divert the topic a little bit, please listen patiently.” Ryan once again signaled everyone to be quiet, and the king said solemnly: “I have taken our past few days seriously again. After reading history, I as it should be by rights discovered that our history can be said to be a military book. Since the establishment of this country, endless wars have continuously invaded this land, from hundreds of prehistoric times. Tribal melee, to the late fourteen tribal battles, from the twelve battles of the founding of the country, to the present after a thousand years, we have had brilliant victories and many shameful failures, but now, ladies and gentlemen Tell me, where are we now? Where is our country?”

“Here! Right here!!!”

“After a thousand years, Brittany People still stand!”

“We have not perished!”

The nobles exclaimed excitedly, even though they have experienced countless wars, even if there have been peaceful years in the thousand-year history It didn’t last long. Even though the Knights passed on from generation to generation, we are still here, and the kingdom is still there!

“Yes, we are still there.” Ryan nodded, and the rays of light shone on him. The silhouette of the Sun King was shrouded in radiance. He opened his arms first, then his hands on his hips: “Knight The duty of Knight is to guard, and the virtue of Knight is to guard. There is nothing more glorious than guard home, defend the country. Ladies and gentlemen, as Knight, do we have to continue to assure everyone that we will continue to be here and defend And to protect our country and our people?”

“Yes!”

“Agree!”

“Aye! Aye! Aye!”

p>

The voice of approval began to sound. The nobles recalled the glory of the millennium, the sacrifices of each family in the long history, and the generations of clansman who died in order to fulfill their Knight duties, all felt within Something in the body has been awakened.

In spite of brutality, corruption, and corruption, the horns sounded, their armors all over, and their guns mounted, the Knights shouted the name of Goddess, fighting for their homeland.

Those big nobles who are unwilling to fight for their homeland have already been dealt with almost by Ryan’s waves of cleaning before and after, and most of those who stay now have been on the battlefield.

“Yes, we have to guarantee that, in fact, I also have full confidence to lead you and defend our country, everyone, do you think I can?” Ryan said with a smile: ” I personally think that as long as we perform our duties, we can continuously reproduce our glory in Bafeng Mountain, in the Empire, and in Orbian.”

“Yes!”

“Hear! Hear! Hear!”

The approval was louder. The Knights who supported Ryan and the old guards shouted vigorously. The neutral Knights slapped their thighs vigorously, even those freedoms. The Knights in Brittany couldn’t help but be moved.

“I’m very happy to hear your approval. It makes me feel that my previous efforts were not in vain.” Ryan smiled and nodded, the Sun King moved towards the outer hall and took a look, then said “But the situation is not optimistic. Estalia is dead, and only Bilibali is still resisting. Tyrell may be able to sustain it a little longer, but without reinforcements, the ending is already doomed. There is also the frontier prince leader. According to the news from the Badlands Sanwei and Sea Sect, the frontier prince has been basically overwhelmed by the Skaven, wild beast and greenskins. Maybe you haven’t noticed it, plus Keisler Her husband and Sylvania, half of the entire old world has fallen.”

There was a burst of exclamation in the venue. In recent years, Bretania is too “peaceful”, and the great nobles The sense of crisis is not so strong. Even François, the Sacred Domain Great Saint Cup Knight, thinks that “the Empire and the dwarves will solve their own problems”, but when they heard the news from Ryan, everyone was still surprised. Unconsciously, half of the old world has fallen?

“All Bretons, the crisis is approaching us!” Ryan said loudly, “Unite, Bretons! Tell us, where is your courage? You still Remember how to defend your kingdom, right? It’s not the first time we have encountered this kind of predicament, but it’s like we saw.”

“We are still here, the kingdom is still there!” Ryan’s The fist knocked on the table where the Knight Codex was placed, and the sound was very light, but it sounded like a bell in everyone’s ears.

“Yes!”

“We are here, and the courage is here!”

“Yes! Yes! Yes~” The response has spread throughout the entire In the hall of the King’s Council, even the great nobles of the Free Breton sect could not help but shout out.

“Then, who gave us this courage? Who brought us out of the quagmire when the Bretons were desperate? Who was it, the Bretons were on the verge of total When the brink of destruction, gave us the Holy Grail, who is it, always as the Guardian God, guarding our kingdom?” Ryan continued.

The whole venue fell silent for an instant, and everyone seemed to have been poured cold water.

It’s the lady in the lake.

But… but he is a spirit god after all!

The effect is just right. Ryan smiled while everyone was silent: “Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that you still lack a little courage. It seems that if you admit all this, is there any Hurt your decency?”

More than half of the nobles blushed and bowed subconsciously, yes, even if she is really good to us, she is still an alien god, if she admits it, it doesn’t appear to be Are we… faceless?

Ryan nodded again and again, with a little blame in his tone: “But you all know very well, many times, it is the little courage in our chest that has changed our history and our story. , Saved us and allowed mortals to survive.”

“The former Phoenix King Enariou, he was originally a navigator. For him, the courage is that he climbed into Asu Yan himself. In the sacred fire, I only asked the Lord of Phoenix to save his compatriots. The courage was that he was deeply cursed by the double, and he still went to the ceremony of the great vortex to fight alone and defeat the four-headed Great Demon!”

“For Charlemagne, courage is that he fought in the Battle of the Black Fire Pass for a whole day and finally heads the green-skinned warlord, and courage is that he fights against Lord of Undead Nagash alone. Lord of Undead sent back to the tomb. The courage is that he personally confronted the Eternal God Chosen Moka for three days and three nights, and drove the chaos stuff back to where they should be!”

“For Arthur , Courage is when he is the first Dragon Knight in Brittany, courage is when he still bravely come out to face the greenskin frenzy when the force is 1:30, courage is after several fatal arrow wounds, even with The rope tie should also stand right away!”

“For me, courage means that after I became a king, I did not make a conservative but cowardly decision. I never tried to deny or conceal anything. Courage is In those big expeditions, the courage is that I summon you to stand here to face you all person, and moved towards you to give my speech!”

“So, everyone, for ladies, courage and What is it?” Ryan finally raised the most critical topic: “For a lady, courage is when Bretons are most difficult and desperate. She came forward and extended a helping hand to us. Courage is Under the chaos and all kinds of threats, she appeared again and again and stood with us. The courage is that when the rumors spread, she admits all of this frankly, her identity as an elf god and gives us the right to choose!”

“Now, Bretons, tell me, where is your courage?” Ryan roared: “Half of the old world fell, when many countries with a long history have fallen or are about to fall, When the wild beasts, the undead, the Skaven Rats, the greenskins, and the chaotic frenzy in the north may break through the imperial defenses south at any time, Bretons, where is your courage?!”

A certain kind of flame was ignited, and every Bretonian present could feel the flame in his chest burning, spreading from the body to the limbs, and then to the head, and the long-lasting enthusiasm was awakened.

The hair is upside down, the thighs are shaking, the fists are clenched, and the bloodline is stretched.

The Knight nobles roared. They recalled the thrilling history a thousand years ago, and then remembered what was happening now.

The fire is still burning and the blood is still not cold.

“The lady chose us, but also our courage chose the lady!” Ryan’s roar echoed, like howling wind and torrential rain hit the beach by the sea: “We will use Action tells everyone in the world, whether it is an elven god or a human god, the lady is our god! Whether it is an ally or an enemy, we will never give up in the face of the storm, and we will never compromise! We will fight to the end, until the end A son of Breton has passed away. If this is the end of our history, then we have to use our sacrifices to play the last song of our own, Knight’s Elegy!”

“Elves God? Human God, is it really that important? Tell me, Bretons! Do you approve of the ladies staying?”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!!!” The voice in the hall It sounded again, bigger than before.

“Lady is our God in Bretania!” Finally, someone shouted out

“Lady is our God!” someone said.

“Madam! Madam! Madam!” Trickles, rivers, lakes and seas, until the huge storm.

The great aristocrats of Free Bretania were almost shaken collectively. More than half of them had expressions of shame on their faces, and they had moved towards Goddess and prayed for forgiveness.

“The end is approaching, we will fight in the Empire and Estalya!”

“We will fight on the border of the Road to Curona!”

“We will defend our kingdom at any cost. If necessary, we will fight under the sandy beaches of Lyonasse and the lighthouse of Le-Angouran, and we will fight in the manor on the Plain of Curona! “

“We will be on the streets of the capital, in the Ardennes, in the port of Poldero, in the mountains of Montfort, and Bastogne, our land of the Rising dragon fight!”

“Brittanias, where is your courage? Where is your Knight spirit?” Ryan roared, “Who remembers the oath of Knight? Who remembers the eight virtues of Knight?”

“Humility, integrity, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul!” A enthusiastic cheer broke out in the hall, and the nobles slapped vigorously. Hitting the seats and railings, or using all my strength to wave the silk scarf and the parchment in the hands, the excitement is surging like a mountain cry out and sea howl, especially the young Devonshire, Ryan’s first The wife’s eldest son jumped and jumped excitedly, wishing to immediately go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and perform meritorious services. In the originally cold council hall, like a volcanic eruption, the hot air overflowed the hall and spread to the outer hall.

“Let us invite the ladies back, and welcome the final battle, how do you like it?”

“Aye! Aye! Aye!” All the great nobles shouted hoarsely So, even the people of the Free Breton faction stood up, shouting the names of the lady and Ryan, and waving parchment and silk scarves in approval.

There is no more doubt, whether it is a fairy god or a human god, don’t we Bretonians even have the courage to admit the facts?

The lady gave us courage, and now it is our turn to give him courage!

Duke Berhemond nodded slowly, got up and applauded, seeing him getting up, all the neutral Knight nobles also got up.

“Aye! Aye! Aye!”

“Madam! Madam! Madam!”

“Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!”

The holy Knight’s oath, resounded from the hall again, until it spread throughout the palace!

“I swear to be kind to the weak.

I swear to fight rape bravely.

I swear to fight all errors.

I swear to Unarmed people fight.

I swear to help anyone who asks me for help.

I swear not to harm any woman.

I swear to help my brother Knight.

I swear to treat my friends sincerely.

I swear to be unswerving to the beloved.”

Watching people rushing to wave The parchment and silk scarf in his hand, Ryan slightly nodded, the king closed his eyes.

Success is not the end, and failure is not the end. The most important thing is the courage to move on.

And the hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage.
