Type-Moon, a human love simulator

"Then don't let the rebel army enter Rome!" Orestes said, "Let Tiberius lead those 'barbarian barbarians' to station outside the city, and they can also resist the Huns!"

"Orest! Do you know what you are saying?"

Ancus said with red eyes: "Commander Tiberius received the letter from Augustus and you, and immediately returned to Rome with all the soldiers, abandoning the gold and silver that he had accumulated in Britannia for many years, as well as the grand strategy of weakening Britain that was about to be implemented..."

"I rushed back day and night..."

"You want us to camp outside the city. Are you going to guard against us as you would against the enemy?"

"Humph! But that's the fact!" Orestes refused to give in. "Rome has no money left. It can't pay out the wealth that Tiberius promised. Without the gold and silver rewards, those 60,000 men are not soldiers, but barbarians who are ready to plunder at any time!"

Ancus was immediately furious and said without thinking: "Orest! You are just a barbarian. What qualifications do you have to say this in front of me? What qualifications do you have to make decisions on behalf of Augustus?"

This was a heart-piercing remark. Even Nepos felt that it was a bit too much and could not help but rebuke him: "Ankus, please stop talking!"

"..." Orestes' face darkened completely, his eyes became extremely cold, he stared at Ancus, and said word by word: "In this case, let's listen to what the great Augustus has to say?"

"A Rome whose treasury can't pay, a Rome that needs a barbarian like me to pay for its military pay, I want to see if Augustus will let those 'Roman soldiers' into the city."

After saying this, Orestes walked away, leaving Nepos and Ancus looking at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, Nepos sighed and said, "Ancus, you are too impulsive. Rome still relies on Orestes and the Germans under his command. Don't provoke him in the future."

That was all, there was no substantial punishment. Not to mention that Ancus was a pure Roman, Nepos, as the emperor, would definitely favor him.

Secondly, Ancus was also the commander of the Roman legion and a close confidant of Tiberius, not an independent citizen. Now Tiberius’ 60,000 fresh troops were about to arrive in Rome, and these soldiers were Rome’s last hope.

"Besides, what Orestes said is right. Rome can't pay. We can't let those soldiers into the city. They will definitely rob the citizens in the city!"

"Citizens? Citizens who don't join the army to defend their country?" Ancus snorted coldly and sneered: "Who cares about those citizens now? Who can defend Rome is a citizen of Rome!"

Ancus was a pragmatist, but unfortunately the decision he made was not adopted by Nepos.

As Augustus of the Western Roman Empire, it was still difficult for Nepos to swallow his pride and allow the barbarians to plunder the Romans without scruples.

This is like Chongzhen would rather beg the officials in the court to donate money to save the country again and again than send troops to raid their homes, so that when Li Zicheng entered Beijing he actually seized 70 million taels of silver in one go.

Rome had money, but the Roman emperor had no money.

"In fact, forming a magic group is not as difficult as forming a knight group. All we need to do is tell the fairy wizards to release the simplest attack magic at the same time in a certain period of time, such as fireballs..."

In front of Kelar were the heads of the fairy clans. Although the fairies now had built their own cities and no longer lived in the mountains and forests, they still seemed unable to get out of the ancient and primitive clan and tribal system.

The fairies still belong to different clan leaders and obey their orders.

However, the heads of these fairy clans all obeyed Kelar's orders and regarded him as the Fairy King.

Kelar could only order reforms to the fairy society. Although the fairies were not as quick to reform the system as humans, they were quick to accept new things and quickly accepted the feudal system.

After all, fairies have lower desires than humans, lack awareness of power, and are more inclined to believe in the law of the jungle. The heads of those fairy clans simply did not realize the difference between the power of a head and that of an official.

The Goblin King and King Arthur still let them serve as officials and manage the goblins, which means that it seems that they are still doing the same things as before and have the same power as before.

That is, their descendants cannot inherit their positions, but the problem is that fairies can live very long, and their affection for their descendants is not as much as that of short-lived species, and they value their clan much more than their descendants.

In other words, as long as the clan can be developed and strengthened, it doesn’t matter whether they are your own descendants or not. After all, we are all members of the same clan, so it doesn’t matter who becomes the head of the clan.

If the fairies also wanted to establish a hereditary dynasty, they would not still be in a tribal system now.

The goblins happily accepted King Arthur's series of reforms and quickly transformed from primitive tribes to feudal modes, which disappointed the nobles who wanted to instigate the goblins to rebel.

You goblins, have a sense of shame, your powers have been reduced by Arthur!

Goblin: Huh? What is power reduction?

Well, the barbecue is really good. There’s no point in saying anything else. Let’s eat first!

Kelar is also very confident about these fairies who have no ambitions and are happy as long as they can have enough food and survive. Currently, there are less than 100,000 fairies who have moved into New Avalon from all over Britain, but the proportion of wizards among them is very high.

Kelar even carefully selected and selected 10,000 people to form a corps of mages. Even Rome could not compare with such a wealthy corps of mages. After all, Rome had lost the basic magic foundation inherited by itself, and only had the basic magic of the Crusaders left by the Magic King Solomon.

But everyone who understood the bad morals of Christianity in the Middle Ages knew it, so in Rome, there were fewer and fewer people who knew magic, and secularization became more and more serious.

At this time, Artoria found Kelar and said, "Ke, the Romans have evacuated. Gawain followed the traces of those rebellious lords and raided the Roman base camp. Unfortunately, no one was found. Only a large amount of Roman gold coins and some weapons and food that could not be taken away were left behind."

Kelar thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Tiberius originally wanted to leave these supplies to those lords, so he didn't burn them."

Altria cheered and said, "I thought so too, but now it's a bargain for us. This year's noble gold doesn't need to be paid by the national treasury."

"Kai, although you specified a descending order of succession for the title, if we continue like this, more and more people will be awarded the title for their merits."

Altria thought for a moment and said, "Is there a better way to make some people no longer hold titles?"

"Accusation of money, treason, deprivation of title by drinking wine, Enfeoffment Order." Kelar casually named a bunch of methods: "Enfeoffment Order is to split the nobles' titles into threes, for example, a first-level title can be split into three second-level titles, and the number of shares depends on the number of children, and it is just like that."

"Within a few generations, all the nobles will become commoners."

"If you think the Enfeoffment Order is too slow, you can use the method of depriving the nobles of their titles by offering them money. On the grounds that the nobles are disrespectful to the king, you can deprive them of their titles."

Kelar gave advice to Artoria without even looking up. He casually said that they were all methods of those famous strategists, which were absolutely unsolvable strategies in ancient times.

"As for treason, it's even simpler. If the king says you're treasonous, then you're treasonous anyway. You can find any excuse to rob your title. But I don't recommend this method. It's too easy to backfire and your reputation will be bad. I'm afraid we'll have to fight a war later."

"There is also the "Gao Min" policy, which encourages citizens to report nobles and gives the reporter half of the noble's wealth. Of course, this is a one-time deal, and it has a worse reputation. It is pure tyranny."

"Kai, thank you..." Altria breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was originally worried about the increasing number of nobles. What should I do with the issue of gold grants in the future? After all, every noble has to be supported by the state."

A cold light flashed in Altria's holy blue eyes, and she said to herself: "I didn't expect there are so many ways. Now I don't have to worry about financial problems."

Kelar was still writing furiously and did not notice the changes in Artoria. In fact, Artoria had always been the same in front of him, but Kelar did not notice that Gawain, Lancelot, and other Knights of the Round Table were becoming more and more taciturn.

Gradually, they no longer dared to speak out their opinions in front of Artoria. Of course, the stubborn king would not listen to their advice. Now the only one who could persuade Artoria was Kelar.

The Star-Forged Holy Sword, the Sword of Victory Oath, will eventually have an impact on the Human King.

At this time, Artoria finally noticed Kelar's actions, and she quickly asked: "Eh? What are you writing? You have been ignoring me..."

"Oh, it's a policy for governing a country." Kelar handed one of the articles to Artoria and said, "These are the strategies for allocating taxes according to the amount of land, the taxation of nobles and officials, and the monopoly of salt, iron and grain. They can be used for at least two thousand years..."

"Also, I am currently writing a bill to regulate coinage and the currency of Great Britain. By then, we can introduce gold coins belonging to Great Britain, and the kingdom will be more legitimate."

This was the peak of the feudal dynasty and the limit of the centralized system. The policies for governing the country developed by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were extremely suitable for retaining power.

If it were in the real world, let alone implementing a unified tax system, even taking away all the power of the nobles would be impossible, after all, we have to take into account the development of history and productivity.

But this is the Moon World, a supernatural world where one person can suppress millions of people, and the so-called political skills are a joke.

With Kelar and Altria, even if the whole world rebels, they can suppress it single-handedly. Therefore, when Kelar is governing, he can completely ignore the problems that exist in objective facts and speed up to the end.

There will definitely be people who object, that’s for sure!

With such a drastic reform effort, the rentier class is bound to be furious. But as long as we have absolute power, we can ensure that the existing system can be smashed and reshaped with almost no major damage.

This is like the Qing emperor who controlled the Eight Banners could implement all new policies with impunity, while the Ming emperor who wanted to reform would be easily swayed by them.

Absolute strength is the meta-rule for formulating some rules.

"Now we have cut off the rebels' retreat. Without the Romans' material support and no military camps, they will run out of ammunition and food in a few days."

Altria stretched and said with a smile: "Those pigs have been bothering me tirelessly for several years. It's really annoying, but fortunately, they are all resolved."

"That beautiful British island of the Age of Gods can no longer be saved, but we can use perfect human governance and resource mobilization to allow our people to live a life no worse than that of the Age of Gods."

"Kai, I'm going to preside over this last battle."

Altria said: "You stay here to mobilize the logistics!"

"No, I'll go with you." Kelar put down his pen, looked up at Altria and said, "I'll go with you this time."

"Eh? Kai, why are you..."

"I have spent the last few years perfecting Britain's legal code and governance, as well as perfecting bureaucratic reform, plus I have to calculate logistics."

Kelar said: "So I can't leave, I have to stay at the back."

"But it's not necessary now. I have brought up Aguguiwen in the past few years. I will let him be the logistics officer in the future. I have also worked hard for several years. Can't I relax and take a break?"

Kelar smiled and said, "I had this idea last year, but I still have to guard against the Roman legions being desperate and destroying Britain. I was ready to give Tiberius a surprise, maybe I could give him a hard blow..."

"It's a pity. The situation in Rome deteriorated too quickly. Tiberius didn't even have a chance to fight to the death. He was directly defeated." Kelar nodded and said, "It's good this way. After all, I don't like killing."

"Now that Tiberius has evacuated, my backup forces can be disbanded. It's a good time to go out and relax and see how you fight."

"Okay, if you are willing, Kai, then we will go together." Artoria nodded and said, "But don't worry about this. 'No killing for surrender' and 'forgiveness for prisoners of war' are what I have always done. This is the way of the Holy King that you taught me."

"All Britons are my people, regardless of whether they are Celts, fairies or Anshars. All of them are Britons. Even Hengist can do this. Don't I, Altria, have such a broad mind?"

Here’s a little-known fact: Hengist was even a Jute. He was neither an Angle nor a Saxon. He was the weakest Jute among the four major Germanic tribes.

However, Hengist created the name "Ansa" on the British Isles. This alone shows his great talent and strategy.

Kelar nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, Al, you have indeed grown a lot."

"Killing is the worst option and should only be done when necessary. As long as there is a law to follow, do not kill anyone. After all, life is so precious."

"I've always kept Kai's teachings in mind~"

Just as the two were talking and laughing, they saw the human-like Fu Fu, squatting on the ground teasing the little cat Fu Fu, blocking the middle of the road, and the flower magician Merlin who was beaten by everyone.

Merlin, this old bastard is comparable to Pete the Beast...

Well, anyway, this guy's presence is quite low. Although Artoria made Merlin the high mage of the court in order to appease the druid forces behind her, she actually never needed her at all.

He never asked her for advice or predictions, which was completely different from King Uther. King Uther asked Merlin every day if he had any new predictions, which made Merlin very annoyed. Unless it was necessary, he would never appear in front of King Uther.

But King Arthur ignored her and didn't even ask, "Is there any prophecy?"

Prophecy is bullshit!

Yu is creating new history, you know that, right?

Altria frowned, looked at Merlin and said, "Master, what brings you to see me?"

"If you have a new prophecy you want to offer, you can just announce it directly. There's no need to wait on the side of the road."

Altria said bluntly: "Perhaps King Uther would fall for this, but I am King Arthur who values ​​efficiency and practicality!"

"Oh~ My dearest disciple, Arthur~" Merlin pretended to be hurt, holding her chest and crying, she said: "This is the most efficient decision we made considering your personality~"

"Because this prophecy is not just for you, but also for Kelar!"

Merlin said sternly, "If I go to see you, after the notice is delivered, you will have to summon Kelar to see you again. Isn't this a waste of time?"

"...Okay, Lily." Kelar raised his hand to stop Altria from saying anything else, then turned to Merlin and asked, "Merlin, what do you want to say?"

"Emmm, although neither of you are the type to believe in prophecies, I am still the court wizard of King Arthur's court after all. I have to live up to my salary."

Merlin tilted his head and said with a grin, "The prophecy is as follows: King Arthur, you'd better not let Kelar go with you, otherwise, the person most important to you will stand against you!"

"Kelar, you'd better not go to the front line, and don't go with King Arthur, otherwise you will find that fate cannot be changed. The king must be lonely!"

"That's right, Kelar, your code is flawed, and you will eventually regret making such a code~"

"That's all I have to say. I won't participate this time~"

After saying this, the fun man slipped away, leaving only a pile of petals on the ground. This showy way of exiting was similar to Morgan's crow exit.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 77 Kai, can you stand with me?

"..."

After hearing this prophecy, the two were silent. Before Altria could speak, Kelar said with a smile: "This old bastard, he slipped away quickly. I'm afraid he knew that he would be beaten if he didn't leave."

"Kai, do you believe Merlin's prophecy?" Altria asked what was on her mind: "Will you still go with me?"

"Of course, my decision cannot be changed." Kelar said calmly: "Merlin, that old nightmare demon, just wants to watch us have fun."

"Prophecy? What a cliché. Fate is an excuse for the weak, and luck is a humble word for the strong. I stand here, and I am the direction of my destiny!"

"Kai, it's great to have you." Altria was completely relieved and said with a smile: "As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

"Kai, can you stand with me?"

"Well, until death."

-

The two of them rode on the horses left over from the Age of Gods. Artoria's mount was Don Starion, a mount that was almost intelligent.

This horse is very clever, it is almost about to grow human hands and become a horse (evil) king (beast) like Red Hare.

But after all, it is Red Hare among horses. A horse king like Red Hare is really rare. Not only can it be a mount, but it even has hands so it can hold weapons and fight alongside its master. It is incredibly powerful.
