Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Kelar sighed and said, "What on earth could have happened to cause a person's mentality to degenerate so quickly? In just a few short years, he has not even completed his counterattack and revenge, but he has already degenerated into a despicable dragon."

"I need to think about whether there are any invisible loopholes in my teachings."

This was an episode that happened after they pacified Vortigern and entered the royal city of Vortigern. Derek of the Knights of Evangelion found Kelar in a dusty state and reported to Kelar the discord between Upton and Sisk, as well as Sisk's death and Upton's fall.

After learning about this, Kelar naturally did not let Upton go, and took back his badge of honor and awarded it to the dead Sisk.

Altria hugged Kailar's head and comforted him: "Kai, this is not your fault, you are already great, you are indeed right!"

It seemed that since that day, Altria liked this action more.

"I'm not angry about Upton's fall. I'm thinking about how to reverse the fate of a dragon slayer becoming a dragon."

Kelar sighed and said, "There is a group of people who, when they were fleeing from poverty, were brave men who dared to fight and kill and to sacrifice for their ideals. But once they took over the world, they became corrupt faster than the oppressors who once oppressed them."

But why did they do this? They were clearly aware of the sufferings of the lower classes, and they clearly rose up to fight against the tyrannical lords. So why did all this happen?

"This seems to be the nature of man. There is nothing new under the sun. What has been done will be done again. What has been will be done again..."

Kelar sighed, "Those people seem to be educated by me, but once they are out of my sight, they will become corrupt. I wonder, will my politics also end because of the death of people?"

When a person dies, his politics also cease. This seems to be the biggest regret of the saints. Any noble person will eventually die. The insects suppressed by the saint's halo and the monsters suppressed by the Demon Locking Tower will instantly rise up and attack him, distort and tamper with his words and deeds, and reshape the saint into a harmless statue.

"No, Kai." Artoria shook her head and said, "We still have a long time, a long time to implement your teachings. Didn't you say that there are no barbarians in the world who cannot be educated?"

"Yes, Lily, you are right. There are no barbarians in the world who cannot be civilized."

Kelar's jade state seemed to be just an illusion, and he quickly smiled and said, "As long as you don't stop, the road will continue to extend!"

"..."

He was still in the mood to joke, it seemed that Kelar was indeed fine.

"Since I have discovered these problems, I will certainly provide solutions later."

Kelar said: "But I cannot and will not think that the future of enlightenment is bleak just because of the minor setbacks I encountered on the road of enlightenment."

(This is my Kelar, the Kelar I know, the Kelar who can handle any problem...)

Altria looked at Kailar with admiration and said, "Kai, do you have anything to add to my policy?"

"It is right to free the slaves, and any form of slavery is unjust!"

Chapter 74 King's Reward

Kelar said, "As for establishing a code, with all due respect, Lily, you don't seem to have any experience in establishing a code?"

"I have you, don't I?" Altria narrowed her holy blue eyes and smiled softly, "I have Kelar anyway, what am I afraid of?"

"Whatever the problem is, you can help me solve it, right?"

“…I knew it.” Kelar showed an expression that was worthy of you and said, “Okay, leave it to me!”

Just after Altria finished exchanging the code and left, a crow flew in seamlessly with a piece of parchment in its claws, and then the crow turned into Morgan's appearance.

"Kai, you want me to be your carrier pigeon?"

Morgan crossed his arms, "Is it because of your king?"

Kelar shook his head: "Because I can only trust you, Morgan."

"Stop doing this!"

Morgan gritted his teeth and said, "You have been using this set of rhetoric since you were seven or eight years old, right?"

"I'm telling you, Kai, I'm not going to fall for that anymore!" Morgan crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Don't think I didn't see what you and Lily were doing just now. If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter can't be over!"

I am now more cunning than a monkey. In the past, I could fool people with just one sentence, but now I need at least two!

"Morgan, you misunderstood!" Kelar said, "We are just thinking about where to go crazy!"

I am Kelar and I will make a law in Britannia!

"Oh, it's the legislative code. I see."

Morgan nodded his head and said apologetically, "I misunderstood you, Kai."

Look, she still has to apologize to us!

Kelar waved his hand generously and said, "Hey, guys, why are you talking about this?"

Morgan turned to the main topic, "It was the Romans who took action. When the princess led the army to attack Vortigern, several lords supported by Tiberius claimed to be sick and did not come to the capital, and did not send troops to help."

It's not that no people were sent at all, but only some ugly, old, weak and sick people were sent to serve as laborers to transport grain.

You can't say he didn't put in any effort, but it's the same as if he didn't put in any effort.

"Those lords, as far as I can remember, were stationed quite close to the Roman legions."

After thinking for a moment, Kelar said, "Those people usually have a large amount of Roman gold coins through trading with the Romans and the backdoors opened by Tiberius. If Tiberius prohibits them from trading with Europe, they will go bankrupt directly."

"But these people are nothing to worry about. As for Rome?" Kelar sneered, "If the price of food and weapons is raised by one gold coin, they will behave themselves."

Rome is no longer what it used to be. If there were any barbarians outside its borders, they would just kill them. How could it have the energy to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Camelot, which is far away in the British Isles?

It's nothing more than a pie in the sky painted by the Roman Consul Tiberius for these greedy fools!

The few lords living close to Rome no longer grew crops in their territories. All of them were engaged in iron smelting, armor, bows and arrows, and other military equipment and economic crafts for Rome. Although they did earn a lot of gold coins by doing OEM for Rome, they were completely dependent on the Roman market.

They needed to obtain channels to purchase grain from Tiberius. If Tiberius cut off their trade routes, their territory would quickly fall into civil strife due to food shortages, and no amount of gold coins would be useful.

The food channels have been controlled, and if you don't obey, you will die.

The decline of the Age of Gods in Britain was already very serious, especially after the death of Vortigern, the last remnants of the Age of Gods had disappeared.

Britain today is no longer what it was more than a decade ago, where crops could grow by simply scattering some grain and trees would bear abundant fruits all year round.

Especially the death of Vortigern has exacerbated this phenomenon, and the decline of the Age of Gods has become more and more serious.

According to Kelar's estimation, in two or three years, only the pure white holy city of Camelot, which will never fall, will be able to maintain the abundance of the Age of Gods, and all other places will degenerate into ordinary land.

"Isn't this Tiberius interesting?" Kelar couldn't help but smile. "Compared to a fool like Botigern who has no brains and is prone to self-destruction, I'm not afraid even if there are more of them, but Tiberius..."

"As expected of a civilized person from Rome, he actually used the same strategy as Guan Zhong in Britain."

"As I recall... the number of Roman soldiers stationed in Britain was only 60,000, right?"

Kelar squinted his eyes and thought, "And the number of Romans is less than one-tenth of them. The rest are barbarians recruited and hired by Tiberius."

Classic Roman mercenaries, paying foreigners to protect Roman property and avoid the death of valuable Roman citizens...

It is hard to say whether the original intention of this policy was good or not, but this system must have caused serious damage to the Romans' martial spirit!

In the past, Rome was invincible. It rose from the land of seven hills and defeated countless powerful enemies, such as the powerful maritime empire Carthage, the Greeks who defeated the Persians with tens of thousands of people, the ancient Egypt, the rich Gaul, etc.

When facing the barbarians, it was like a father beating his son, and he could just use a simple attack. At the peak of his power, he caused the East and Rome to be entangled for hundreds of years, and the once prosperous Parthian Empire was destroyed.

But that is all in the past. The former Roman Empire was full of military virtues and the largest country in the West, with a vast territory, a large population, a superior system, and a flourishing culture and education...

The current Rome was not only divided, but the Eastern and Western Rome were also unable to take care of themselves. Just the small matter of a few barbarians on the border directly destroyed the Western Roman Empire, which was the real birthplace of the Romans.

If it were Rome during its heyday, Artoria would only dare to say that Great Britain should be independent or that there should be a counterattack against Rome, but forget about it.

But now the country is in such a state of disarray that it is time for it to perish.

"Mercenaries come for profit, and they will naturally leave for profit. This is nothing to worry about."

Altria smiled and said, "Although the Roman legions are not a concern, Rome is too rich. If Tiberius is secretly supporting those lords, then this war will still have to be fought!"

"This is a trivial matter. If we can't even educate these unreasonable barbarians, how can we talk about counterattack?"

Kelar smiled and said, "If you can't integrate all the forces on the British Isles, you will have such a hard time gathering 50,000 knights. The British Isles have a population of 800,000, and the goblins also have hundreds of thousands. It won't be a problem to withdraw 100,000 for military settlement without affecting the harvest."

There is no doubt that someone will defect to Rome.

And after Kelar revised the code and Altria promulgated new policies, this number will only increase, it will definitely not decrease.

Because the number of nobles whose interests will be harmed will be unimaginable.

Artoria decided to introduce the British version of centralized power. A king like her would never be as wishy-washy as King Uther was, delegating most of the territorial autonomy to the nobles.

Altria has already thought about it. She plans to take over all the financial, military and personnel powers of Britain. The nobles can only retain their titles and fiefs, but they cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the fiefs and are no longer responsible for recruiting soldiers. They will just receive money according to their titles every year.

If we could really abolish all power of the nobles and return all power in the kingdom to the royal court, then we could mobilize all the resources of the kingdom to the greatest extent and there would be no need to worry about problems in the rear.

The only drawback is that the nobles will definitely fight back.

However, if you use political tactics in front of a saint who can suppress 70,000 people alone, or a king who can fire a light cannon with his bare hands, then you can only read female-oriented literature.

"Kai, it's unreliable to rely on the nobles' army." Altria said, "We have issued an order to liberate the slaves. The nobles should not resist too fiercely. After all, Maple Ridge has already liberated all the slaves and has become richer because of it."

"While the nobles are lacking information sources, we need to recruit more former slaves to serve as soldiers and establish military settlements."

To put it bluntly, the nobles had already been mentally prepared for Altria to liberate the slaves.

Kelar did this a few years ago. There were people who disagreed at the time, but they were stopped by King Uther. After so many years, they had known that this day would come.

The slaves were dependent on the nobles and knights. They were the property of the nobles and actually lived quite well. Some individual slaves even lived better than free people.

But these individual examples are not enough to prove anything. The lives of most slaves were still very miserable.

The Romans of today are considered civilized in the West, but they still have slave arenas, using bloody fights and deaths between humans and beasts to please the nobles, and the British nobles will only become more brutal in their gameplay.

It is not difficult to liberate slaves physically. What is more difficult is how to settle these slaves who have no independent personality and are oppressed by slave life, and let them stand up from the heart.

If one simply issues an order to abolish slavery and then leaves it alone, the slaves will still habitually rely on the nobles and lords, which will in turn allow the cruel nobles to exploit and oppress the slaves even more.

Kelar's solution was to incorporate them into the army, conduct military training and ideological work, so that slaves could master force and regain their self-esteem through force.

The Lord Guards of Maple Ridge came from this, and the effect was remarkable.

Naturally, Altria was also prepared to use this convenient, easy-to-use and practical method.

-

[After killing Vortigern, Artoria's prestige reached its peak. She was called the Red Dragon King of Britain, and the nobles were in awe of her.]

[It didn't take twelve great victories. With just this one battle, the Ansa people bowed their heads and respected Artoria as their king. However, Artoria did not expel them from Britain. Instead, she called the Ansa people "overseas people."]

[Immediately afterwards, seven lords in the rear of Camelot started a rebellion. They said that they believed that Artoria was not qualified to be king, and they were so bold as to steal King Uther's surname and call themselves "Pendragon". In order to fulfill King Uther's last wish, they launched an army to attack.]

[You did not go to the classic remake of this battle, otherwise with your prestige, even if you just stood in front of the army, you would be able to make most of the other side defect. ]

[You have more important things to do. You promoted the recruitment of serfs into the army in the Kingdom of Camelot. Together with the surrendered Ansa and the non-staff Knights of the Gospel, you have expanded the British Kingdom's military strength by 50,000. The King's direct military strength has reached 70,000.]

[Among them, 20,000 are elite knights who have left their jobs and are professional soldiers.]

[The 30,000 liberated serfs have no combat power for the time being and can only be used to transport grain and open up military settlements.]

[Ten thousand Ansa veterans who changed their name from the rebels to the Gospel Knights, and ten thousand affiliated legions under the Gospel Knights, serve the Gospel Knights and also develop the territorial waters resources.]

[These people are very powerful, and have a high percentage of veterans, but you can see at a glance that this army has some bad roots. If they are not corrected, they will inevitably affect their foundation.]

[After several years of reforms by you, the strength of the royal court is stronger than the sum of all the nobles. Even if all the nobles of Britain add up to more than 35,000 knights, the armies are not under the same command and the people are not united. Just like the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms during the Han Dynasty, they will be quickly defeated by a group of elite soldiers.]

[In recent years, the British Kingdom has been unstable, with frequent rebellions by nobles. The rebellious nobles are like weeds that can never be killed. When one group is destroyed, the next group quickly appears.]

[Tiberius had been maintaining the balance of power in Britain for decades and knew all the nobles well. He never failed to persuade any nobles he wanted to rebel.]

[Artoria, holding the Holy Sword of the Star, is invincible. With the blessing of the Scabbard of Avalon, she is even more invulnerable. She is always the first to charge into the front in every battle, and everyone calls her the 'Knight King'.]

[Altria intentionally weakened the power of the nobles. Every time she suppressed a noble rebellion, she only brought one-tenth of her own troops. The rest of the troops were supplemented by nearby nobles, and her own troops would never be used unless it was absolutely necessary.]

[After suppressing the noble rebellion, Altria would only reward the meritorious nobles with gold, silver, British badges, Camelot flags, and other small things that could satisfy their vanity but were really useless.]

[The territories of the nobles that were pacified were all taken back by the central government, and King Arthur appointed consuls to firmly control personnel power. As a result, the military strength and territory of the royal court were not affected by the rebellion, but the actual controlled territory became larger.]

[You and Artoria took the opportunity to implement a new policy of centralized county cities, dividing the Kingdom of Britain into counties, and each county into cities.]

[All privileges of the nobility will be abolished, but the nobility titles will be retained, and money will be allocated from the national treasury every year. Only one of the sons of the nobility can inherit the title, and the titles of the descendants will decrease step by step. The rest of the sons will be commoners, and can join the army as knights based on their own abilities.]

[The hereditary system of knights was abolished and replaced with a conscription assessment system. Citizens who reached a certain age were required to participate in the conscription assessment and the best were selected for admission.]

[The knight can be granted a title and a badge of honor by performing military merits. Both can be inherited by descendants. The military merit titles are divided into 36 levels, and descendants inherit them in descending order.]

[Every one of the many new policies hit the lifeblood of the nobles. Almost all of them declared Altria a cruel red dragon, a false pseudo-king, and denounced her as the witch who brought cholera to Britain.]

[Only the fifteen nobles of the Knights of the Round Table who were loyal to Altria did not rebel, and they actively cooperated with the implementation of the new policy.]

[During this period, Kelar personally wrote a letter and Morgan personally guaranteed to invite the fairies who were hiding in the dense forest and living an ancient clan tribal system out of the deep mountains and old forests. He also divided half of the territory in Maple Ridge and established a fairy city, calling it "New Avalon."]

[Fairies and goblins cannot be generalized. The nine fairy queens and the goblin king who live in Avalon, the other side of the holy land, lead a life that even gods envy. They make golden apples every day, make holy swords when they have nothing to do, have children with human nobles and kings, and train them to become Celtic heroes who are pro-fairies...]

[But the fairies living in the forest have a hard time even getting a full meal, and they have to hide from humans living in different places and out of their sight.]
