I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 190 Trouble Inside

"Did the plan succeed?"

"Successful, but... the sword did not break."

"Is that so? It seems that it's just based on legends, which is obviously unrealistic."

Still in that office, Victor was still discussing with the rest of the nobles.

But then, the soldier who came to report whispered.

"However, King Arthur still lost the Sword in the Stone."

Hearing this, everyone looked at him.

Victor frowned, "What's going on?"

The soldier pondered for a moment, and then began to talk about what he had seen and heard, even Arthur's words and the reactions of those members of the knight order.

Following his narration, everyone in the entire office fell into a lengthy silence, and the office was silent.

"It can only be said that it is indeed the destiny chosen by the sword in the stone?" Wood murmured in a daze.

After a while, Victor said, "He is very good at winning people's hearts."

"In your eyes, is his act of throwing away the sword in the stone because of breaking his oath an act of winning people's hearts?"

At this time, a general over half a century old sitting opposite Victor spoke, with a square face, red beard and even hair.

"Isn't it?" Victor asked back.

"I objected to this despicable plan early on.

And it was aimed at a noble person. "

The red bearded general got up slowly, and picked up the coat that was draped on the sofa.

"What are you going to do?" Victor frowned.

"I thought our goals were the same, Victor.

But now it seems that we have a big difference.

I quit. "

The red-bearded general pushed open the door, and he stood there looking at Victor.

"Victor, I think you need to really think about it.

Perhaps, that child is really more suitable to be the emperor of Britannia than you. "

The corners of Victor's eyes twitched slightly, and a look of sullenness appeared on his face.

"What do you understand!?"

"I've always understood." The red-bearded general looked at him quietly, "Your ambition has already exceeded your ability, and you are inferior to that child in terms of ability and measure.

Be in awe of God, Victor. "

After speaking, he turned around and left here.

The entire office fell into silence again. The people around looked at the furious Victor and at the opened door, but no one dared to speak.

As the door closed again, Wood couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness, we"

"Don't worry about him!" Victor quickly calmed down, his eyes flickering coldly, "I don't need him anymore.

Since Arthur wanted to die by himself and abandoned the Sword in the Stone, then we also fulfilled him.

Wood, according to the original plan, used the shadow placed in the army.

Before he regrets getting back the Sword in the Stone.

They would not have imagined that we would carry out a second attack in a short period of time. "

"Yes."

"What about the Sword in the Stone?" Wood said.

"That sword was once inserted on the high platform of Baal Cathedral in the imperial capital. Millions of people have tried it, but no one can pull it out." Victor looked at Wood, "If you have this Be confident, you can try it.”

"I understand."

Wood stood up immediately, pushed the door and walked out with the soldier who reported.

"Can it work?" asked a nobleman.

"All his strength obviously comes from the sword in the stone." Victor said confidently, "but without the sword in the stone, he is just a child under 16 years old. Our shadow in the army is enough."

The few people around also nodded solemnly, they did not leave, but continued to wait for the result here.

Three or four hours passed, and the sky was also a little hazy, gradually turning pale.

But no news came.

As time passed bit by bit, Victor's complexion became more and more ugly.

After an unknown amount of time, a spy finally opened the door and walked in. He looked around at the senior management of Victor's department.

Under their expectant eyes, the man said solemnly.

"News came from the army that King Arthur was assassinated again, but the assassins were all wiped out."

This time, Victor's complexion completely darkened, and the complexions of the people around him also became much uglier.

"Did the Celtic Knights react?" Victor asked.

"No." There was an unspeakable fear in the man's eyes, "It was solved by King Arthur alone, with bare hands."

The office fell silent again, and Victor took a deep breath.

"He discarded the sword in the stone on purpose."

"He guessed our plan." A nobleman next to him murmured absently, "The purpose is to tell us that no matter whether the sword in the stone is in his hands or not, the result will be the same."

"This is a warning."

"It's also a taunt."

"It even won people's hearts."

As they discussed, the purpose of Arthur's actions after being tricked was gradually made up by their brains.

As Arthur's purpose was gradually dissected by them, a sense of powerlessness gradually shrouded them.

"Prince." A person in the office couldn't help looking at Victor, "Should we sue for peace temporarily?"

Victor didn't speak, but silently clenched his fists.
"My lord, the corpses have been disposed of. We are now investigating their origins. It should be traceable to how they entered the army.

Perhaps it can be traced back to the source and traced to the black hand behind the scenes.

Also, I think you should live in another place in the near future, don't live in a camp like us anymore, it's too dangerous here. "

In the army's tent, Wolfe was reporting to Arthur, and there were other people standing around.

It's not that the army cannot live in cities and villages. After all, this is Britannia's own land, which is naturally different from that in West France.

Their main purpose of living in tents is to keep out the plague.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Arthur closed his eyes and meditated, "How is the naval training going?"

The Spanish Empire is different from the West French Empire.

The Spanish Empire is a country with the power of the sea, and its warships are very powerful. If you want to take back the territory in the coastal area from his hands, you must train a navy.

Even though Arthur's combat power was terrifying, he couldn't form an army alone. Facing the war at sea, he was somewhat powerless.

Britannia has many islands outside the mainland that are also occupied by the Spanish Empire, and these islands must also be taken back.

The officials on one side stood up and spoke.

"The military factory is working hard to build warships, and the technical department has obtained some technology from Beichen. We have installed steam engines on warships, and using them as power, we can sail farther.

In addition, a year ago, a large iron mine was discovered in Colorado. Under the operation of His Royal Highness Isabel, we established many huge mineral processing plants and steel plants there.

In the past two years, Britannia's steel production has more than doubled compared to before the war, and the technical department intends to use steam technology to build a warship covered with a large amount of steel. "

"Won't it sink?" Wolfe asked.

The official smiled, "Sir, although the steel ship is made of steel, it is not solid and there is a lot of air inside. You can try to see if you can sink an empty iron bottle into the sea.

It will float up soon, and this is the buoyancy discovered by Mr. Archimedes.

Any object can float on water as long as the weight it displaces in water is greater than its own weight. "

Wolff nodded.

"If there is really a steel warship, then our naval forces will be invincible."

War is always the most effective way to promote the development of science and technology, and even determine the direction of technological development.

The period of time when human technology exploded was almost after World War I.

War requires huge productivity as a support, and in order to increase productivity, technology will naturally improve accordingly.

"How long will it take?" Arthur asked.

"The plans for the construction of the prototype warship were prepared and almost completed before the start of the war on the Eastern Front.

It will take about one to two years for the official ship to start construction. "

Arthur nodded, this was in his plan, "Then now, our main plan is to defend and retreat to the inland and plains where we are better at.

There is a vast plain in the south, they can't get in, but they can't just sit back and watch them occupy all of our coastal cities.

The cavalry also still had to do harassment work.

Wait for the completion of the warship before launching a counterattack.

Before that, we can deal with the plague, and some internal troubles. "
