Chapter 26 My Edgeless Sword Is Enough

"There's no time to reminisce. The Ansars will be here soon." Morgan urged, "Pick one. These weapons are very powerful. Any one of them will be of great help to you."

This is true. For example, when Diarmuid uses his Great Wrath, he can chop all enemies in front of him into two pieces, so fast that he can't even get his body stained by the blood of the people being killed...

When his hand was raised, the clothes and armor were flattened and blood gushed out like a fountain!

This is just one of them. Things like the Piercing Death Thorn Spear or even the Law of Causality can definitely pierce the enemy's heart if thrown out.

These weapons are too brutal and can take someone's life with just a wave of the hand, which Kelar dislikes.

Kelar looked at the powerful treasures on the ground, each of which could kill countless people, smiled and shook his head, and said: "My edgeless sword is enough."

-

The Ansa people have arrived in Kent County adjacent to Maple Ridge. Endless pirate ships have landed. The two leaders Hengist and Horsa took the lead and directly destroyed the lord of Kent County. They stationed their troops in the northern part of Maple Ridge, forming a dominant position.

However, looking at the almost one-to-one casualties on both sides of the battlefield, we can know that although the Ansa people won, the fierce and barbaric Celtic warriors who regarded death as the highest honor still brought terrible pain to the Ansa people.

The Ansa pirates were more powerful at sea, but the Celts never went to sea. The Ansa pirates had to give up their strongest point and go ashore to fight the invincible Celts on land.

Fortunately, there were more people in Ansa this time, and King Vortigern issued an order to send out all the troops. Hengist also knew that Vortigern was serious, so he mobilized more than 70,000 people at an exaggerated ratio of one in four.

Even the harsh and cruel King Vortigern could not find any excuse to cause trouble for him.

Hengist had a clear mind. He would not feel bad even if all the old, weak and sick people left behind were lost, because he currently had more than 70,000 young and strong men in his hands.

And if they could conquer Kent, Vortigern would give the entire county to the Ansa.

With a foothold in a county, Hengist can continuously attract fellow countrymen from the European continent to come to the British island of the Age of Gods. No matter how much he loses, he will only get it back double in the future.

“Holy, Holy, Lord Almighty, your glory fills the whole earth!”

After killing the Duke of Kent, Hengist wiped the blood off his face and said ferociously: "Praise the Lord of Hosts, may we be invincible!"

"Capture Maple Ridge tomorrow and kill the pagan Kelar, and I will allow you to take all the harvest!"

The Duke of Kent was not weak, and was adjacent to Maple Ridge, which was driven to develop and became very prosperous. The Duke of Kent also learned and imitated Kelar's behavior, liberating some serfs and incorporating them into the lord's guard to enhance the lord's authority.

But he did not have the prestige of Kelar. In order to gain the consent of the knight class, he even gave up some power, almost turning the territory into a small feudal state. However, it was indeed a lot of progress compared to slavery.

Although he was not as powerful as Kelar, the progress in the system also greatly increased the power of the lord. The liberated slaves were very loyal to the lord, and this base was enough to suppress the knight class.

In order to quickly break through the Duke of Kent's territory, which had more than 30,000 men, and defeat Kelar with all preparations, Hengist and his brother Horsa rushed to the front, and his confidants suffered heavy casualties.

But Hengist didn't care. He could cultivate as many confidants as he wanted.

As long as he waved his hand, countless Angusans were willing to submit to him and become his lackeys.

Even though he seems to have enemies everywhere among the Angsa people now, how many of these Angsa people who hate him hate him because he never gave them the power to be their dogs?

They not only hated Hengist's tyranny towards them, but also hated why Hengist did not give them power!

"Brother, what should we do with these peasants?" All the lord's guards and knights who took up arms were killed, and Horsa looked at the civilians who were gathered together and asked, "Should we follow the usual practice..."

The usual practice is to repay blood with tooth for tooth, which means leaving no one alive.

You can't say anything about what they did. After all, massacre is a fine tradition of the Celts. Their revenge is even carried a certain absurd and ridiculous sense of justice.

Hengist thought for a moment and then said, "No need. After tomorrow, Kent will be our Ansa territory. These people can serve as our Ansa serfs."

"But this place is too close to Camelot!" Horsa said worriedly, "If Camelot sends troops, how can we resist?"

The presence or absence of the Angusans is a different matter. Without the support of the King, more than 70,000 Angusans may seem to be enough, but if they were to engage in a field battle on land with a large army of Celtic knights, they would be courting death.

"Then let the British 'white dragon' and 'red dragon' continue to fight." Hengist sneered: "Vortigern may have such thoughts, but how can I, Hengist, let him do it?"

It is impossible for Vortigern to abandon the Ansa people because they are his base as king.

No matter how much he loved the Celtics, his body had already been entangled with the Ansas and could no longer be separated.

He was discussing with his brother when he heard a noise from behind. Hengist didn't want to take care of such trivial matters, but he accidentally heard Nimed's name, so he had to take care of it.

Everyone knows that Nimed is his adopted son, and that he was baptized in the presence of all the Ansa people. When Nimed is involved, Hengist is involved.

"What happened?"

As Hengist approached, the people around him automatically made way for him, and the originally noisy noise became silent. Hengist enjoyed this feeling very much, as it represented his supreme authority among the Ansa people.

Nimed rushed over and knocked his head against Hengist's feet. This was a Christian etiquette of respect to the point of flattery. It was one of the great rituals performed by saints to the Lord Jesus Christ and was recorded in the Bible.

Hengist was very pleased, but he naturally did not show it on the surface. Instead, he pulled him up and said as if complaining: "Child, if you have any grievances, just tell your father. Why do you have to act like this?"

Well, even though he hadn't heard the whole story yet, Hengist had already unilaterally defined the incident as Nimed being wronged.

"My dear father, your child Nimed will always remember your kind teachings. The truths you taught are like words of gold that will never fade."

Nimed started with a series of flattering words that would make anyone dizzy, and then got down to business: "According to your order, I am responsible for clearing out those pagans who spread false ideas and finding the typical ones among them..."

At this point, Nimed leaned close to Hengist's ear and whispered, "But I don't think we can just kill everyone with one blow. Most of them were just deceived. I think we can get them to convert back to the glory of the Lord."

"Dear father, you can put them under my command. Nimed assures you that he will make them respect you and the Lord as I do."

"...Moreover, I have also found the most stubborn ones among them. I was about to submit a list to you, but these people stopped me, intending to..."

As Nimed spoke, he inadvertently revealed the shallow scar on his neck: "Dear father, I almost never heard your teachings again."

Hengist was furious after hearing this. His face turned livid and he said, "Good boy, good boy, don't be afraid. Your father is here. Your father will decide for you!"

Nimed is so talkative that his mouth has almost contributed to all his achievements today.

Even for a lord as powerful as Hengist, who wouldn't like to hear good words?

Hengist glanced at the list hastily. On it were either the little lords who had always been against him, or the ones he had always suspected. So he no longer had any doubts. He patted Nimed on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I trust you. I will hand over this power to you. Do it well, do it well!"

"From now on, when you see Nimed, you should treat him as if he were me, and you should obey what he says."

"Nimede, you can handle this list yourself. As for your proposal, I agree with it."

"...Yes, my dear father, Nimed will definitely not let you down."

Chapter 27: Even animals like these can develop a bodhi mind

"Brother, for some reason, I feel that this Nimed may not be trustworthy."

Hengist returned to the captain's room in a good mood, but his younger brother Horsa poured a basin of cold water on him.

Although Nimed performed impeccably, in just a few days he eliminated dissidents and killed Hengist's enemies, acting more like a confidant than a confidant.

But Holsa always felt that something was wrong.

It was so smooth. It was so smooth...

But Holsa was not good at speaking. After pondering for a long time, he could only say: "This person must have other intentions. He is using you to gain power for himself."

Hengist frowned slightly. No one would be in a good mood if someone upset them when they were in a good mood. Even a monarch like Li Shimin was often so angry at Wei Zheng that he shouted, "I will kill this country bumpkin!"

This is human nature, but the difference between a great lord and a mediocre lord lies in whether one can control his emotions. Hengist quickly put aside this unhappiness and patiently explained: "My brother Horsa, you don't have to worry. Do you think I don't know Nimed's little thoughts?"

"Humph! He betrayed Powell and skinned him himself. Even most of the Ansa people who were not bewitched by Kelar despised his behavior, but they dared not say more due to my authority!"

Hengist waved his hand and said, "It's normal for Nimed to be a little anxious at a time like this. Young people are bound to make mistakes. He also wants to recruit more people to his team."

"No matter what, he is my adopted son. If he is really trampled underfoot by those people, it will hurt my reputation."

Of course, if Nimed was really such a waste, then he would have no value to Hengist.

Now, Nimed is very useful and obediently acts as his own knife, cutting off those who disobey him. Moreover, he does not do it himself. If the situation gets out of hand, the person who gets retaliated against will only be Nimed.

As the referee, Hengist is already invincible.

If that's really the case.

"Well, my brother, Nimed is still useful." Hengist held his brother's shoulders and said, "We are brothers. Don't you still trust your brother?"

"Yes, my brother, Horsa will always follow you."

-

"Nimede? What a stupid name. Damn it? It's so funny..."

"I was just joking with you. I apologize. I shouldn't have made fun of your name. My name is Kelar, and I'm the lord of Maple Ridge."

"Kill you? No, I will forgive you."

"You are human beings, not slaves or cattle of the lord. You must cherish your own life, because the premise of loving others is to love yourself."

"I will let you go, but of course you must promise me that you will love yourself more than you love others, and once you learn how to love yourself, you will also love others."

"As long as you did not voluntarily step into the land of Maple Ridge, as long as you are willing to lay down your weapons, I am still willing to love you and forgive you."

"..."

"..."

"Nimede, Hengist has noticed me. We must make a decision."

"Nimede, we don't have that much time to think about it. This is the only way to preserve our strength to the greatest extent."

"Nimede, you are the best disciple of Teacher Kelar. You are the only one I can trust. Only you can complete this task."

"..."

"Nimede, it's easy to die, but it's hard to live..."

"Nimed, the fate of the Ansa people rests in your hands."

"Okay, Powell, okay...I promise."

“A mistake is still a mistake even if it is repeated 10,000 times; a truth is still a truth even if it is slandered 10,000 times.”

Nimed's eyes were calm. He did not look at Hengist with admiration, nor did he look at the Ansa people with success. Instead, he just looked calm.

"Teacher Kelar, your words are like gold that never fades. I will always remember your teachings and practice them with my life."

"I understand. I completely understand why you are willing to love us, because I am also willing to love others at this moment."

Nimed's fingers stroked the "Gospel of Kelar" in his hand, which was dictated by Kelar and recorded by Powell. It is full of Kelar's words and deeds and the world of universal harmony he described.

This was a banned book and apocryphal text that Hengist ordered to be destroyed, but he gave the task to Nemed.

Inside the room, Nimed quietly read every word recorded in the "Gospel of Kelar". He knew that this might be his last chance to read this book in his life.

Outside the door, more than 3,000 "supervisory team members" recruited by Nimed gathered together and whispered. It was unknown what they said, but the look in their eyes when they looked at Nimed's room was filled with immense hatred and anger.

-

In Maple Ridge, Kelar put on light leather armor because he no longer needed any external items at this time. He held a horse in his hand, and beside him was Altria, who was riding a white horse.

Kelar was reluctant to take Artoria into danger, but the little lion insisted on coming, so he just let her go. Anyway, the little girl was strong and could more than protect herself in the defeated chaotic army. The stray arrows would not cause any harm to her at all.

Moreover, Kelar was very confident that as long as he started the attack, those people would not have the chance to attack Altria.

"Lily, just help me wave the flag." Kelar said seriously: "Last time, my power was too weak and I couldn't carry out my will to the end."

"This time, I will not allow anyone to die in front of me. My will is in the heaven and earth, and it is an unchangeable holy mark. Therefore, you don't have to take action."

Altria nodded blankly, and then couldn't help asking: "Kelar, do you really want to charge alone?"

Kelar smiled and nodded.

"I alone am enough."

The two men rode their horses and quickly arrived at the conquered territory. Looking at the endless stream of Angus, the sound of their banquet to celebrate their victory was so loud and noisy that it could be heard from more than ten miles away.

Kelar smiled as he looked at the endless... military formation? This could also be considered a military formation! He turned his head and looked at Artoria and said, "Lily, you see this endless army, right? Are you scared?"

Altria shook her head and said, "With you here, I won't be afraid. Besides, I just need to follow you, right?"

"Compared to me, Kai, how do you feel?"

"Me?" The burning flames in Kelar's eyes grew stronger and stronger, even stronger than the bonfires lit by the 70,000 Ansars. He chuckled and said, "My soul is boiling!"

"Hengist, I have come to teach you."

-

Hengist felt somewhat uneasy, as he always felt as if he had overlooked something, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing missing.

So he couldn't help but walk out. Looking at the Angsa people who were still drunk and feasting, Wuming became angry: "If they are all drunk like this, how are we going to fight tomorrow?"

"If you fail to kill Kelar, His Majesty Vortigern's wrath will burn you to ashes!"
