Type-Moon, a human love simulator

[The fairies were very grateful for your kindness and righteousness, and took the initiative to ask you to be crowned the 'Fairy King' and 'Guardian of Fairies'. You had no interest in fame and fortune, and wanted to refuse, but you were stopped by Altria and Morgan who knew about this. Finally, after discussion, you accepted the fairies' courtesy and became the Fairy King.]

[You have become the first human to become the 'Fairy King' in human form. ]

[The fairies, who had just emerged from the deep mountains and forests and had suddenly jumped from the tribal system to the feudal system, were completely confused. They had no idea why the human nobles were rebelling, but opposing Altria was opposing you, and opposing you was opposing the fairies.]

[Many fairy clan heads led their family members to join the army, and took out a large amount of supplies from the Age of Gods stored by the fairies. Especially since the fairies were natural mages, Altria used this opportunity to form a British-style mage group.]

"How is the rebellion going?"

Kelar then asked, "Lily, what are the financial and military losses? Do you need my help?"

Artoria, who had just returned to Camelot, stretched herself. Her petite figure, which had not changed in years, remained the same, but after experiencing the baptism of war and conspiracy over the years, her mind had matured a lot.

"It's nothing serious. I'll let Gawain and Lancelot lead an army each to attack those rebellious nobles."

Altria smiled slyly, narrowed her big blue eyes, and said like a little fox: "I told them both that whoever wins first will let you make a badge for them personally."

"Lily, you're using me as a reward again, right?"

Kelar pinched her cheek unhappily, and even stretched and pulled the blackened symbol of the king, almost making the little lion angry and bite him.

"It was the same with you last time. I knew nothing, but these two came up to me and insisted that I teach them some martial arts..."

Kelar enumerated the little lion's "sins", and he said, "What advice can I give? I'm vulnerable to special attacks, and I can hit anyone with one or two hits. I had no choice but to have a messy fight with the two of them."

This is a new use of Kelar that Altria recently developed. She calls it - The King's Reward!

Chapter 75 Help Me, Mr. Kelar

"And the time before that, you insisted that I had a holy sword that could cut through any weapon in the world and could cut any weapon in half. You tricked Gawain into using his Wheel of Victory to exchange it for it. Lancelot was also a bad guy and didn't explain everything to him clearly."

Kelar said: "In the end, I had no choice but to show him my unique skill of using a branch to cut steel and tell him that I can cut through any weapon in the world with anything."

What Altria now takes over is the impoverished British Kingdom. Years of war will naturally disrupt production and the national strength will grow slowly.

She didn't have much money and lived a tight life. The heroes of the Knights of the Round Table had made great contributions, and Artoria couldn't give anything, so she could only use Kelar to fill the gap.

"Oh, it's all Gao Wenqing's fault for not hearing clearly..." Altria rubbed her head against Kelar. The two grew up together and were immune to this kind of close contact. She said with a smile: "Besides, I'm telling the truth. You can really cut off all weapons in the world!"

"Help me, Mr. Goblin King!"

"...I really want to tell you to leave Kelar!"

In the end, he still couldn't stand Altria's coquetry, just like Morgan was also taken advantage of by him. Kelar could only say in vain: "... Just this once, it won't happen again!"

He didn't know how many times he had said this, but Altria had long been immune to it. She nodded her little head and agreed with a giggle, not showing any kingly demeanor at all. If the nobles who were defeated and executed by her saw this, they would probably crawl out of their graves.

Just such a spoiled little girl defeated and annexed their territory?

The king has two faces.

Camelot is thriving, the economy and population in the territory are becoming more and more stable, and the power gap between the nobles and those directly under the royal court is becoming more and more obvious. When the noble rebellion is completely quelled, the British Kingdom, which has been rebuilt from the ashes, will usher in its true heyday!

But the situation of the Western Roman Empire far away in Europe was getting worse and worse. In just a few years, it had reached the point of decline. It was now being defeated by the invading Hun Empire. The Hun King Attila was invincible, and his troops were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and they were successful in conquering cities and territories.

Every time a city was breached, these barbaric nomadic peoples from the East would kill and loot wantonly, destroying the city that had been passed down for thousands of years and turning countless brilliant achievements of civilization into ashes.

This is normal, it is the barbarian's unique habit of massacring a city.

The Huns were not the only ones who massacred cities, but others had political purposes, only the Huns killed for the sake of killing, whether they were paid or not, and they would destroy any exquisite work of art...

It seems that their only purpose is to destroy civilization, and looting is just a by-product.

The Visigoths hired by the Western Roman Empire were no match for the Huns. Even their ancestral land was defeated and ravaged by the Hun king.

After several major defeats, Odoacer, the king of the Visigoths, became discouraged and no longer dared to fight the Huns. He suddenly changed his mind and began to attack the city of Rome, preparing to return to the birthplace of the Germanic people after looting, the more remote, desolate and barren Germanic Highlands.

——If I can’t defeat the Huns, can I still defeat you?

Any nation that employs foreign soldiers cannot avoid reverse infiltration by foreigners.

As a mercenary of the Western Roman Empire, Odoacer was a complete expert on Rome. He had already fully understood the strengths and weaknesses of the Western Roman Empire and even knew more about the current situation of the Western Roman Empire than Augustus of the Western Roman Empire.

The Western Roman Empire was forced to summon its brave citizens to fight a great battle with the Visigoths, and barely drove Odoacer away. But at this time, the Hun king Attila took advantage of the exhaustion of both sides after the battle and severely damaged the Roman legions and the Visigoths, beheaded the Visigoth king Odoacer, and began to attack the Visigothic Kingdom and harass the city of Rome.

But the Western Romans were not happy about this, because after the demise of the Visigoths, which served as the barrier of the Western Roman Empire, the tyrannical and invincible Hun king would turn his attention back to Rome.

"what?"

Tiberius received a letter from the Western Roman Emperor, Julius Nepos, which contained only a scribbled order asking Lucius Tiberius, commander of the Roman legions in Britannia, to return to Rome to repel the barbarians.

Along with this letter came Orestes, who was born into a Germanic barbarian family and has now become the commander-in-chief of the Roman army. In the letter, he explained in detail the situation that the Western Roman Empire was currently facing.

In general, the situation has become completely corrupt. Rome, which has been passed down for more than a thousand years, is now on the brink of destruction.

As a member of the Roman royal family, Tiberius, whose ancestors were Roman emperors, was the most loyal commander of Rome, at least much more loyal than Orestes, the Germanic barbarian.

If he were not so loyal, the late emperor would not have arranged him to Britannia, because the previous Roman emperor believed that Tiberius could best protect the interests of the Western Roman Empire by staying on the British Isles.

Upon hearing such bad news about his country, Tiberius no longer had the heart to maintain the balance of power in Britain, and immediately ordered: "The whole army will march back to Rome!"

In fact, his Roman legions had already prepared for war.

Tiberius was prepared for Artoria, or rather, for Kelar. He knew that the independence and rise of the British Kingdom was inevitable, but before leaving, he would lead the Roman legions under his command to leave Artoria and Kelar a British island that was completely destroyed and would be difficult to recover in decades.

Tiberius had been fighting with Kelar over the years. Although they had never met, he had already regarded the other as his life's enemy. Tiberius had repeatedly caused Kelar considerable trouble. His talent was by no means comparable to those Celtic barbarians.

For example, this time, Tiberius was ready to take advantage of the decisive battle between the royal army and the aristocratic army to lead the Roman legions to plunder the rear, plunder food and medicine as quickly as possible, and burn farmland and forests, and withdraw to Rome with the supplies before Keral could react.

It is hard to say how much success this move can bring, but it will definitely bring losses and more subsequent troubles. Even if Kelar defeats and captures him alive, these losses will be difficult to make up for.

It is always easier to destroy than to build.

Fortunately, Artoria was lucky. The destiny was not with Tiberius, nor was the destiny with the Western Roman Empire. The rapid decay and decline forced Tiberius to return home immediately.

Otherwise, by the time he had implemented the Three Alls Policy in Britain, his house would have been robbed and Rome would have been completely destroyed.

Sitting on the ship returning home, Tiberius sighed bitterly: "Mars of the Host, Jupiter, King of the Gods... Is it true that the gods no longer favor the great Rome?"

When packing up the weapons and returning to Rome, Tiberius ordered the soldiers to travel light and only take the necessary weapons and indispensable food and fodder. A large amount of gold and silver belonging to the soldiers was left behind. The soldiers were immediately in an uproar. Finally, Tiberius promised that when they returned to Rome, all the soldiers would get double the gold and silver they had lost.

If Tiberius had not been in power in Britain for decades and had a high prestige and credibility in the army, the soldiers might have avoided mutiny, but they still had many complaints. After all, those were gold and silver that they had fought for with their lives!

Especially those soldiers hired from the barbarians. They served as soldiers because it was profitable, but now they were ordered to abandon their gold and silver and return to Rome, saying that they were saving the Roman Empire...

Who understands what you say?

So, does the Roman Empire, whether it will be destroyed or not, have anything to do with these barbarians who serve as soldiers and eat food?

The logic of the barbarian soldiers is very simple: if you give me money, I will work for you; if you don’t give me money, I will fight you to the death.

Fortunately, Tiberius promised that they would receive double the gold and silver if they returned to Rome, so they reluctantly accepted it...

It's impossible not to accept it. The previous gold and silver have been lost. If I run away now, won't I lose even the promised double gold and silver?

That would be a huge loss!

"Commander, the morale of the army is low. I'm afraid the barbarian soldiers won't work hard."

A legionary commander with black hair and black eyes and of pure Roman descent came over and said, "These barbarians only recognize gold and silver. We left in too much of a hurry."

"Ancus, you don't understand. Orestes' letter has already explained it."

Tiberius was silent for a while before he said, "Odoacer died in battle, and the Gothic Kingdom established within the Roman Empire is about to perish. Once the Gothic Kingdom is lost as a barrier, Rome will face the Hun king's army head-on."

"If we insist on hauling all the gold and silver, we have to free up space that can be used to load more food and weapons to load those useless metals..." Tiberius laughed sarcastically: "Oh, these useless metals may be used as spoils of war for the barbarians from the East!"

"Carrying gold and silver will reduce the speed of the ship and important strategic materials."

Tiberius suddenly showed a determined smile: "Moreover, it will also reduce the barbarians' determination to fight. They will think about sending their gold and silver back home, and use the money to live a good life at home, so they will cherish their lives on the battlefield."

"Now, they don't have a single gold coin on them. Only by successfully returning to Rome can they get double the wealth. I don't believe they dare not fight for their lives!"

It has to be said that Tiberius was a master at controlling people's hearts. He completely grasped the morale of the soldiers and even used a method similar to Cao Cao's "looking at the plum to quench thirst" to keep the morale of the army high.

This is a very simple truth. Just like when Nikan was killed in a reckless battle, the rest of the Qing imperial family withdrew their troops one after another, and no one said they wanted to avenge him...

There is nothing else to say. Everyone has made a lot of money, and they have become princes and nobles with endless wealth and prosperity. They can go back and enjoy their lives. How worthless it would be if they were killed by the peasants of the Southern Ming Dynasty on the battlefield?

However, before entering the Pass, the rise of the Aisin-Gioro clan was due to the descendants of Nurhaci, that is, the clan members. At that time, they were all brave warriors who dared to fight and kill and were always at the forefront of the battle.

A warrior with wealth and honor is no longer a true warrior.

The same is true of Tiberius' current strategy. After comprehensive consideration, not carrying any gold and silver may cause some complaints from the soldiers, but when the time comes to fight, they may be more combat-ready than soldiers returning with full loads.

Under Tiberius' anxious urging, the 60,000-strong army arrived in Gaul from the British Isles in just three days. After a brief rest, they began to march quickly towards Rome, the capital of Western Rome.

Fortunately, although Tiberius was anxious, he still had some rationality. Although he urged the soldiers to march faster, he still strictly stipulated rest time every day. He was not a mediocre person who ignored the soldiers' fatigue.

After a long period of forced march, it is difficult to guarantee immediate combat effectiveness. If they encounter the Hun army, they will most likely suffer a major defeat.

The defeat in the first battle would be a huge blow to the morale, and the army might collapse completely. Tiberius must not destroy Rome's last hope.

As the saying goes, a little detail can reveal a lot. From this small matter, we can see that Tiberius is a cautious and careful person. No wonder he caused so much trouble to Kelar and Artoria in Britain. This man is indeed a hero.

The Gaul region had already shown signs of desolation and chaos, with ruins everywhere, burned villages, and dead bodies left uncollected.

However, most of the cities still had some room to maneuver and were not conquered by the Huns... Come to think of it, although these Huns are now invincible across Europe, they are just a nomadic people after all, with a sparse population, and are not as good as the stable city-state agricultural civilization.

Moreover, the Huns destroyed several countries in succession, and the number of troops was also reduced.

The number of Hun troops was not enough to massacre the entire Rome. Except for the Hun army led by the Hun king Attila, the remaining small groups of Hun soldiers would only loot and burn villages and would not actively attack cities.

The troops entrenched in the city did not dare to engage in a field battle with the Hun cavalry and could only watch as the Huns showed off their power, burned, killed and looted in the Western Roman territory.

Gaul had been ruled by Rome for hundreds of years. Unlike the barbarians in their hometown of Britain, the Gauls had a strong sense of identification with Rome. Gaul is still under the actual control of the Western Roman Empire. Tiberius can repair his army and replenish supplies in these Gallic cities.

"Has food become so scarce?"

After being politely escorted out by the consul of a city, Tiberius looked heavy-hearted. The Gallic Plain was a very rich territory in the Western Roman Empire, with abundant grain production, but now they could only give him a little ration.

"All the food has been taken away by the Goths and Huns..." Tiberius said to himself, "It seems that only by truly defeating a Hun army can we get supplies."

The opportunity soon came. A few days later, when the Roman legion reached the Alps, they encountered a Hun cavalry of more than 3,000 people. When these Huns saw the Roman legion, which had at least twenty times the strength of theirs, they not only did not flee, but shouted loudly in incomprehensible barbarians and charged towards the army led by Tiberius.

The long period of invincibility made the Hun cavalry misjudge the strength of both sides. They thought that the Roman legion led by Tiberius would, like the previous Roman army, flee when they saw the Hun flag, leaving their Hun warriors to shoot arrows at them with ease from behind.

The Huns mistakenly overestimated their own strength and underestimated Tiberius's power.

The one who has been invincible all along is not the Hun army, but the Hun king Attila!

Without the Scourge of God, who was dug out from the head of the White Giant God by the Hun elders and immediately appointed as the King of the Huns, the Huns were no match for the regular Roman legions.

Tiberius ordered the central army to hold its ground while the cavalry on the flanks surrounded the enemy. With less than a thousand casualties of his own, he wiped out the 3,000 Hun cavalry who were showing off their might, and seized all the gold, silver, food, cattle and sheep that they had looted.

Looking at the Hun cavalry being strangled to death, Tiberius could not help but sigh: "Even if I rack my brains, I can never figure out why these barbarians from the East did not turn around and flee, but rushed towards me, Tiberius."

Although there were only 3,000 Hun cavalry, Tiberius seized a large sum of gold and silver. Tiberius gave each person a gold coin and reiterated that as long as they successfully returned to Rome, they would have gold, silver, wine and meat, and everyone would have a great harvest!

The sweet taste of tangible spoils boosted the morale of the Roman legions. The soldiers put aside their complaints and decadence and crossed the Alps with full expectations.

After crossing the Alps, we soon arrived at Mediolanum (Milan) and entered the territory of what would later become Italy, which was very close to the city of Rome.

In the evening, Tiberius picked up his pen and began to write a letter. When he finished, he called Ancus and said, "Go and take this letter to Rome and hand it to Augustus (Emperor)."

"Hold on a little longer, you must hold on a little longer..." Tiberius rubbed his forehead tiredly and said, "As long as the Empire holds on a little longer and Rome holds on for a few more days, Tiberius will be able to lead Rome's most loyal legions back to Rome."

Ancus rode his horse non-stop all night and finally arrived at the city of Rome, but he almost didn't get in. He was finally discovered by Orestes who was patrolling the city defenses and was taken into the city.

Upon learning that the commander Lucius Tiberius stationed in Britain had returned and brought a letter, the Roman Emperor Nepos was overjoyed and quickly opened Tiberius' letter.

After reading it, Nepos looked bitter, and Ancus quickly asked, "Respected Augustus, what's wrong with you?"

Nepos sighed and said, "Mr. Tiberius's proposal makes sense. Only by rewarding the barbarians with large amounts of gold and silver can we satisfy their appetite."

"Yes, Commander Tiberius said the same thing." Ancuschi said, "Is there any problem with that?"

Nepos closed his eyes and said angrily: "But Rome no longer has enough gold and silver to satisfy the appetites of 60,000 people. Odoacer, that jackal, deceived me..."

"What?" Ancus said angrily, "Augustus, those barbarians are not trustworthy at all. You shouldn't have..."

"cough……"

There were footsteps, Nepos coughed lightly, and Ancus turned around and saw Orestes, the commander-in-chief of the Roman army who was of Germanic barbarian origin.

Chapter 76 Merlin's Ominous Prophecy

Even such an important military position as the commander-in-chief of the army, who was responsible for leading the entire army, was held by a foreigner. It is conceivable how low the proportion of Romans in the army was.

Ancus shut up, but his expression was still filled with resentment. He said, "Lord Tiberius has already promised the soldiers. If Rome cannot pay, the soldiers will surely lose their morale and may even plunder the city."
