"If they were to fight this lord, they would probably just choose to surrender without any fighting power."
"I issued the ban on sailing in order to eradicate this wrong idea once and for all."
"Oh?" Vortigern became interested after hearing this, and leaned forward slightly: "Is there such an interesting thing?"
“Who is that Celtic warrior?”
"..."
Hengist never expected that Vortigern would react like this... Please, no matter how brave he is, he is still your enemy. You should understand that we, the Ansa, are your core!
Other people always put class conflicts over ethnic conflicts, but you are putting ethnicity above class, right?
If he hadn't been unable to defeat Vortigern, Hengist would have shouted, "You bastard, I'm not worthy of your counsel!" and walked away.
Hengist stammered, "Yes, it's Kelar...Sir Hector's son."
"Hector..." Vortigern thought for a moment and said, "I know this man. He is a close confidant of my weak and incompetent brother and the current palace steward (prime minister), right?"
"I remember he came here ten or nine years ago?" Vortigern said uncertainly, "... Anyway, it was around this time that he defeated and annihilated more than four thousand Ansa people with only three hundred men, and the casualties of his own knights were less than one hundred?"
Hengist smiled and said, "...nine years ago, Your Majesty."
It is said that the people who can serve Vortigern are not simple. Hengist is too good at flattering. When talking to him, even an angry Vortigern will calm down in just a few words.
He knew when to go along with something, when to refute something, and when to make the perfect support. He always grasped the timing just right.
If you meet someone who is very compatible with you in terms of conversation and who is very pleasant to talk to, it means that your level is far behind theirs and you are being outclassed by them.
This was the case with Vortigern; his temper had long been controlled by Hengist.
"So he is the son of a warrior. He is worthy of being a Celtic warrior!" Vortigern laughed loudly, "Both father and son are warriors? Very good! Very good!"
"Hengist, lead all the Ansars and bring me this warrior's head."
Vortigern's expression changed faster than the weather. He ordered: "I don't care about your so-called poisonous thoughts or any other reasons. If you don't give the order to go out to sea tomorrow, I will grind you into meat paste and feed you to the dogs."
"..."
Hengist bowed his head with a bitter look on his face and said, "Your will, Your Majesty."
As if noticing Hengist's low mood, Vortigern said, "Well, Hengist, although you Ansa people are not warriors at all, why do you have to act like this?"
"How about this, Hengist? You bring me the head of the Lord of Maple Ridge, and I will give the county of Kent to you Ansars."
"Even if I drive a hunting dog, I will make sure it fills its stomach." Vortigern promised with a smile, "We Celts will not mistreat the hunting dogs that hunt for us."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 18 A good person deserves to be pointed at a gun
Vortigern is actually a very good boss to serve. He always says whatever he thinks, and he won't pretend to cover it up even when he wants to kill you.
Such people often keep their promises.
Even though he was humiliated by Vortigern, Hengist's expression remained unchanged. His flattery was just right. No one else in the British Isles could do it so vividly. He looked magnanimous and indifferent.
In fact, Vortigern did not deliberately humiliate Hengist. The white dragon did not have the habit of talking nonsense.
He sincerely regarded the Ansa as foreign inferiors, but as the leader of the Ansa, Hengist was looked up to by him and could be regarded as a hunting dog of their Celtic people.
The Celts were a fishing and hunting nation who made their living by hunting. Hunting dogs had a very high status and many great heroes had the habit of raising dogs. Cu Chulainn changed his name to Cu Chulainn because he mistakenly killed the hunting dog of the blacksmith Curran and volunteered to replace the hunting dog.
It is conceivable that in the Celtic's cognition, the status of hounds was already very high.
But a dog is a dog after all, and he is not a human being in any way.
"Thank you for your generosity, wise and mighty White Dragon, your great majesty."
Hengist once again performed impeccable etiquette and left the king's bedroom with his brother Horsa, who remained silent and attentive.
Until this time, Horsa, who had been silent until now, said gloomily: "How stupid is this old man? We are consolidating his power and status, but this idiot actually..."
"Shut up! This is why I don't let you speak in front of the humble king!" Hengist shook his head. He was not afraid that there might be Vortigern's spies nearby, because he knew that Vortigern would not monitor these 'Angsa bastards' at all.
"Remember our identities and don't show any negative emotions in front of Vortigern, otherwise I won't be able to save you!"
Hengist's eyes were deep, and he lost the cautious and flattering attitude in front of Vortigern. The demeanor of a great leader was evident between his brows: "Vortigern may have many shortcomings, but he is a very trustworthy person..."
"Haha~ It's really interesting. The Celtic barbarians are very trustworthy. If they say they will kill your whole family, they will kill your whole family. If they say they will grant you a county, they will grant you a county!"
Hengist's face was full of enthusiasm: "Horsa, our chance has come. The chance for us Ansa people to establish a nation has come!"
Hengist was the man who founded the era of the Seven Kingdoms of England (meaning the land of the Angles). Ever since he landed on the island of Britain in the Age of Gods, he had always wanted to establish a country in this promised land given to him by God.
After seeing the scenery of the Age of Gods, no one wants to return to the extremely inward-looking European continent, where even the survival opportunities have been squeezed out.
The Anglo-Saxons had no way out. The reason they fled to Britain was because their living position in Europe was squeezed.
Originally, the four major Germanic tribes were all in the north of Rome, and were occasionally recruited by Rome to join the army to attack the great empire in the east. However, the Huns from the east had previously defeated the Alans and Visigoths, and the Goths began to migrate westward after their defeat...
The Goths themselves were the strongest race among the four major Germanic tribes. Neither the Ansas nor the Gauls could compete with the Goths. Most of the territory of Gaul was occupied by the Goths in the name of "allies".
The Anglo-Saxons were even worse off. These pirates, whose territories were not fixed, found that their homes were gone and their territories had been taken away when they returned home. They could not defeat the Goths on land, so they could only come to Britain to beg for food.
"But……"
Horsa still had concerns. After all, the King was so cruel as to ask all the Ansa people who could go out to sea to send their troops. If the news leaked accidentally and King Uther knew about it, it would trigger another war and it was unknown how many Ansa people would die.
These are the capital for the two brothers to gain a foothold in Britain.
But Hengist waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, Horsa. The Celtic 'Righteous Kelar' is very kind, isn't he?"
Hengist sneered and said, "If we do not obey Vortigern's orders, he will kill us and drive the remaining Ansa to their deaths."
"But if we invade Maple Ridge, maybe the merciful 'righteous man' will let us go?"
After all, good guys deserve to have guns pointed at them.
Hengist finally said, "Let's go, call Volend and the others, and discuss how to send this merciful and righteous man to see our all-knowing Lord of Hosts."
[At the age of 15, your Delin Prison has already held thousands of Ansa people, and you have "raised the flag" and granted the status of Celts to more than Ansa people, almost all of whom are the first batch of low-level sailors you imprisoned.]
[The Ansa pirates who were subsequently imprisoned in Delin Prison were basically the ruling class such as the captains and vice captains of various ships. They sneered at your teachings and had great malice towards you.]
[You set a rule that no matter if the labor contribution value reaches the standard or the ideological transformation reaches the standard, they can be released from prison, incorporated into the lord's guard, and granted the same Celtic identity, and no longer be called Ansa. ]
[But if the labor contribution value meets the standard, the ideological score must also be sufficient, and if the ideological transformation meets the standard, the labor contribution must also be sufficient. Under Kelar's wise management, there is no such thing as a bug. ]
[You have taught more than 500 people in less than two years, but you are not proud of it because you deserve it.]
[You are not worried that pardoning too many criminals at once and incorporating them into the Lord's Guard will put your finances on the line. Through the trade with the Ansa people in the past two years... well, I mean being "plundered" by the Ansa people, your territory has made a lot of money. Many treasures that can only be produced in the sea and products unique to the Ansa people are only sold exclusively in Maple Ridge.]
[You exchanged all the spoils brought by the Ansars for wealth, paying only a negligible amount of food and weapons. This has made Maple Ridge richer than the capital Camelot, and has become a place where each city is richer than the rest of the country.]
[Gradually, you are a little dissatisfied. Why are there only so many Angsa people who come to 'plunder' each time? Every time the Angsa people come, there are sometimes one or two thousand, sometimes one or two hundred, and the quality and quantity of the goods they bring are also uneven...]
[You only bring this much stuff every time you come? If the Celts in the capital see us, they will think we can't afford it. Who can buy this much? One boat per person, I mean one boat per person! ]
[You even start to hope that the Ansas will come with a big wave. ]
[However, you have recently been a little confused as to why the Ansa people have not come to plunder for several months. Unfortunately, your territory is a bit far from the Ansa people's habitat, and even if you send out scouts and crows, you can't get accurate information. ]
[The Celtic lords are already somewhat dissatisfied. Although Maple Ridge's finances are still sufficient to support it, if there is no income, it will only be exhausted. ]
[At this time, you have a bad feeling. You know that Hengist is not a mediocre leader. Perhaps it is this person who ruined your plan.]
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 19: Professional Match
[You began to think about giving advice to King Uther. Perhaps you should take the initiative to start a war with the Anshars. No matter what Hengist does, his plan will fail once the war starts. This is the ultimate principle of military strategy, to defeat the strange with the normal...]
[If you don't trade, I will use force to force you to open up trade. ]
【Capital always pursues profit, which cannot be countered by human power. Assets naturally pursue growth. If they stop growing, they will self-destruct. Anyone in this position will be coerced by capital and cannot be independent.】
[It seems that this can also be applied to you? ]
[Your heart is becoming more and more confused, perhaps you no longer remember where you came from? ]
[Are you still the saint who believes that a benevolent person is invincible? Have you begun to agree that for the sake of wealth and profit, even a war with countless casualties is worth it? ]
-
Kelar, who is about to turn sixteen, is more vigorous than he was a few years ago. He exudes a strong personal charm like the sun. He is as tall as an adult, and his fingers and palms are full of calluses left by years of practicing with cold weapons.
At the same time, he was also the strongest knight of Maple Ridge. At the ceremony of officially inheriting Maple Ridge, he defeated all the knights of Maple Ridge by himself. In the past few years, he issued a Kelar badge, attracting the attention of all the knights of Maple Ridge to this badge symbolizing honor.
"It seems that the Hengist brothers are really behind this."
Kelar looked stern, pursed his lips and said, "These two brothers are really troublesome, much more difficult to deal with than Vortigern."
It has been such a long time since the Ansa people have brought goods to trade. If nothing unexpected happens, it must be that the Ansa leaders, the Hengist brothers, have issued an order prohibiting people from going out to sea.
After all, as early as the previous trade exchanges, some of Kelar's confidants told him that Hengist seemed to be investigating his actions related to his ideas of education and forgiveness.
Kelar immediately reminded them that it would be better to lie low and not risk their lives rashly, but it seemed that they either did not listen at all or failed to hide it from Hengist.
"Morgan? Morgan?" Kelar called Morgan's name softly in his heart. The spiritual connection between the two had become stronger after years of maintenance. Unless Morgan was in a secret place such as Avalon, he could contact the witch instantly.
"What's the matter?" Morgan's cold and indifferent demeanor as an ice beauty came through the mental link. Most people would definitely be shocked by her attitude and hesitate to move forward.
But Kelar won't, because he is thick-skinned.
Kelar didn't care about Morgan's cold attitude and said affectionately: "Teacher Morgan, you will help me, right?"
"Kai! You are now a famous warrior in Britain. Don't rely on a woman like me for everything!"
Morgan's defense was broken instantly, and her icy beauty attitude disappeared. She said angrily: "If you do this again, I will never answer your call again!"
Well, it was Kelar who taught her the word telephone, which means that this telephone can only be used to contact one person in a one-way manner.
"For the last time, for the last time...Mr. Morgan, I promise, I promise this is the last time!"
Kelar was smiling playfully. Fortunately, Morgan was not around, otherwise he would definitely beat him up after seeing his current state.
Morgan didn't believe his nonsense at all. She smiled coldly and activated the goddess's three consecutive actions: "Haha, she's not here. She's doing magic research."
Kelar tried to persuade her to stay: "No, no, no...Mr. Morgan, my sister Morgan, please help me with a small favor. How dare I disturb you if it's not something important?"
But Morgan's focus was always strange: "What old man? Do you mean I'm old?"
"..." Kelar was choked and didn't speak for a long time. Then he stiffly changed the subject: "It's like this. The Ansa people haven't been here for a long time. I suspect that old man Hengist is behind it. Sister Morgan, if you have time, why don't you go to the Ansa people's territory to take a look?"
"Humph, I knew you wouldn't contact me if nothing happened."
Morgan's voice returned to its coldness, and she said, "It's okay, Sister Morgan, it's okay, Sister Lily... Kelar, are you living a good life?"
"..." Kelar was speechless again: "Teacher Morgan, please don't speak in such a resentful tone, okay? It sounds so creepy..."
Morgan was furious: "Get lost, I won't help you!"
Morgan hung up the phone unilaterally, but Kelar didn't mind. He knew that although Morgan, this arrogant girl, said things in a very absolute way, she would actually help him with a righteous attitude.
Kelar is very good at dealing with this ancient tsundere who has long been out of version.
"Speaking of Lily...what is this little lion doing?"
Speaking of Artoria, Kelar couldn't help but sigh, she is worthy of being the Red Dragon of Britain, the ceiling-level Heroic Spirit, the legendary Eternal King. Although Artoria is very young, her strength has even surpassed Kelar who is the same age.
When Kelar was Altria's age, he was definitely not as strong as she is.
This little lion seemed to be born with a talent for riding and weapons that was no less than A-level. When he switched to the simulator, almost all of his talents were purple, which was much stronger than Kelar's only blue talent for all martial arts.
Now, as the leader of the Lord's Guard of Kelar, she is responsible for commanding 3,500 guard infantrymen.
"The Knight King started leading troops at the age of ten." Kelar smiled and said, "Isn't my education model much better than that old loser King Uther?"
Merlin sneaks into Artoria's dreams every day and transmits King Uther's so-called kingly way to this prophesied red dragon, the hope of Britain's future, in the hope of cultivating the perfect king in King Uther's mind.
But such a perfect king is nothing but a cold and ruthless machine, and sooner or later he will be bitten by this perfection.
Besides, a loser who can't even beat Vortigern needs the support of the Romans to compete with Vortigern. If Artoria really believed King Uther's words, then her upper limit would be limited to King Uther's poor imagination.
Fortunately, this kind of thing is impossible to happen. Kelar used many kings of Rome and China as teaching materials to tell Artoria about history and the kingly way. Using history as a mirror as teaching material, it is impossible for Artoria to learn the wrong thing.
At this time, Artoria was training the Lord's Guards to form the Mandarin Duck Formation. The core of this formation was very simple, which was the discipline that was far ahead of its time.
After Japan experienced the Warring States Period, its military power and culture were greatly enhanced. It had broken away from the shackles of the Tang Dynasty and walked its own path. There were many experts among the Japanese pirates who fled overseas, so often dozens of them could destroy several counties.
Qi Shaobao used the miners in Yiwu as his elite soldiers, trained them in the strict and disciplined Mandarin Duck Formation, and used wolf-whips and Qi family swords as weapons. He was able to kill thousands of Japanese pirates in dangerous places such as mountains, paddy fields, and street fighting, with less than a few dozen casualties himself.
The one who really brought disaster to Qi's army and almost killed Qi's army alone without any damage was "Come to the parade ground tomorrow to collect your salary. Don't bring armor or soldiers, and don't make a fuss. All the Southern Army brothers who come here will get a share."
