Chapter 643 Development

The sun rises above the horizon, as always, never seems to change.

Indeed, it will not change. After all, it has existed stably and operated for billions of years, and it will probably continue to exist in this state in the next hundreds of millions of years.

Compared with this great celestial body that doesn't seem to change in any way, human beings who live and die like a mayfly in the world are probably the least qualified to say something "unchanged".

It has not been too long since the Battle of Kamran, or even half a month has not passed. However, during this period, the land of Britain is already turbulent...

After all, this was originally an island, not too large in size, and in this era, it can be said to be the last romance era of this planet, the island still remains mysterious, magic, goblins, and sanctuary still remain in the twilight period.

Magic is not completely hidden like in later generations, which can be seen from Merlin's reputation.

Just as most of the legends of the Knights of the Round Table come from this period, at this time, the use of certain mysteries may be more advanced than the technology of later generations, so relevant information quickly spread throughout the British islands and surrounding areas countries.

King Arthur has died in battle, and Bedivere, as the last knight, witnessed the king's dying side.

After receiving a letter from Gawain asking for help before his death, Lancelot brought an army from afar to support the King of Knights to quell the chaos, but it was too late in the end. When he arrived in Camlan, only The withered bloody battlefield.

The legend of King Arthur has been ended, the kingdom fell apart.The knight left Britain distraught and spent the rest of his life in regret.

——Like these news, they all spread out one by one.

So in just an instant, despair, sorrow, and fear have permeated every inch of land in this country, blood and fire began to spread everywhere, and the smoke of wolves was everywhere.

Under the rule of the former King Arthur, the country that could only wait to perish has gained a moment of peace.

But now, this originally depended on the absolute hero, the peace maintained by the absolute king was torn apart, and the war that ended was once again set off.But this time, there will be no king who suppresses troubled times to protect them.

——But isn’t that a matter of course?

Because they resented the overly righteous king, they felt that the endless wars, the barren land, and the years of violence were all caused by the ruthless king's endless desires, and they finally couldn't bear it anymore.

So even the princes, clans, and people's soldiers at the bottom for their own interests, all agreed with Mordred's rebellion plan when King Arthur expeditioned to Rome not long ago, and they all integrated.

Prepare to destroy the exhausted king in one fell swoop when he returns.

King Arthur's last battle, the twilight battlefield where chivalry withered.

The tombstones of countless corpses whose flames of life have been cut off, the Battle of Kamran, took place less than half a month ago.

So... it's all over.

The kingdom collapsed, the order was completely lost, and the turmoil brought war and enemies—the Saxons crossed the ocean at the fastest speed and rushed to the island. They were beaten, defeated, swept away, and swore Never set foot on British soil again.

But after the death of King Arthur, they immediately tore up the treaty and oath that they had made not long ago, and launched aggression again.

The ferocity and unstoppable momentum of the Saxons made the people of Britain feel fear, stunned and at a loss. They went back to more than ten years ago in a trance. when.

After King Arthur came to power, he kept beating the Saxons, winning consecutive battles, and finally drove the bandits out.But no one knows how long and how much effort it took her to achieve such an achievement and quell the turmoil from the Saxons.

The people of Britain all think that it is the king's fault because of the king's wars again and again... The years of murder will continue, and too many people have been sacrificed. for what.

When someone has selfishness, criticism will also appear, and what the king will be given will only be injustice and incomprehension.Although it is said that the more criticisms, the more stable the people's lives, but in turn, the more stable the people's lives, the more they will criticize.

After all, it's easy to understand. If everyone is desperately trying to survive when Xun You is in danger, how can they think so much?It is only after I gradually settle down that all kinds of yin and yang strange energy will appear, and the restoration will be reversed, and I will feel that everything is wrong.

The people of Britain felt that they had waited until they couldn't bear it anymore, so they joined the rebel army and launched a rebellion, in order to eradicate King Arthur and overthrow her ruthless rule.

They firmly believe that this is the right choice!

But why, why is this happening?Obviously the king is no longer here, and they overthrew the king's rule by themselves, and they paid a huge price for it... The war should end here!

Shouldn't the next step be peaceful cultivation?Why did the Saxons come back immediately?Why did they initiate the war on their own initiative?

But before their brains with extraordinary IQs figured out what was going on, the butcher's knives of the crazy bandits had already been cut on the necks of the British people.

Even resistance is almost impossible——

Because whether it is the king who once owned the holy sword, or the heroic knight who surpassed human beings, or even the well-trained grassroots soldiers, they were all exhausted in the civil war launched by the British people who abolished their martial arts in order to truly embrace peace. up.

They can only watch helplessly as the bandits raised their butcher knives, slaughtered and looted wantonly, and burned the villages and towns they lived in. If they were lucky, they might be able to become slaves, survive and eat for a living...

Countless people wailed and wailed, desperately longing for an upright knight and an ideal king to come out to help the generals of the Great Xia and save their fate at this time.

— just like the worst kind of joke.

However, under such circumstances, there will always be upright and just knights who come forward. Although Artoria can't stand it anymore, it's just that this time, she didn't hide her gender anymore, but presented her as a woman. The identity of the knight stepped onto the stage dignifiedly.

That's fine, as long as he doesn't appear as the former "King Arthur", there will be no problem.

……

……

In a village where blood and fire were intertwined, corpses fell on the ground, including those of villagers and robbers.

Many houses have collapsed, burning in the flames, and the flames soared into the sky. The surviving villagers gathered together, crying and whimpering, and some people rushed up out of control, facing the corpse of the robber on the ground Crazy flogging.

Or trying to move the dead body of a loved one to the side, kneeling beside him frantically, begging the dead body to respond incoherently, rationally unable to accept the departure of the loved one.

——The atmosphere is quite heavy.

Under the sun, her hair shone like golden sand, and the knight girl in casual clothes also had an angry expression, and even the arm holding the sword was trembling slightly.

After all, she is no longer a king, and she doesn't need to suppress her emotions anymore, her emotions and anger are invisible.

It is impossible for her to save everyone, she has always been very aware of this, but even so, every time she sees such a scene, seeing villages being burned, and innocent people being killed wantonly, she still feels unacceptable.

In particular, this group of murderers who burned, killed, and looted were not even robbers of foreign nationalities, but the Britons themselves, which made her feel even more furious.Why does such dross exist no matter when?

Of course, she did not mean to be merciless when she sanctioned them. No matter how the group of robbers wailed and begged for mercy, they would all be killed with a single sword strike. There was no intention of cruel killing, but there would never be a trace of soft-heartedness.

"The village has been burned, where are you going to go next?"

Trying to calm down, she looked at a villager not far away. The other person was the oldest among the people present, and she must be able to speak and make a decision.

Arturia had done things like burning down villages before, but that was a tactic that had to be chosen during the war. Fortifying walls and clearing fields is not a rare thing in the history of war. It left a breakthrough for the barbarians, and a place where they could burn, kill, loot, vent revenge or squeeze materials and food.

But it was precisely because of this experience that the girl understood that these people must be properly settled, otherwise, they would not be able to survive.Suddenly encountering such a catastrophe, they have no spare energy to rebuild the village and reclaim the land.

Time is running out, and it is impossible to re-plant food within this year, and they will all starve to death.

"Where to..."

The villager repeated this sentence in a daze, and subconsciously looked at the female knight in front of him, but his eyes were empty and blank, and he didn't really answer the question.

Or he doesn't know the answer, the whole island is already in such a broken and chaotic pattern, where else can we escape?Originally thought that if the king was overthrown, real peace would be obtained, but in the end, complete destruction would come.

Britain has no future to speak of.

"If you have nowhere to go, you can follow me. I can provide you with a land where you can live in peace..." Arturia sighed and said this seriously, but her tone was inexplicably guilty.

She really can't do this kind of thing——

Obviously she didn't promote the destruction, but seeing the chaos and disputes, I always feel that it is my fault; I am obviously giving these people a new way out, but I always feel as if I destroyed the village and then deceived them Same everywhere else.

Even a magician can't see it. He said this a few days ago:

"If you can't change your mentality and always think that you have unlimited responsibilities and obligations to them, you will still be betrayed by them again sooner or later."

……

……

On the former open plain.

The prototype of a town is about to be built. The magician is very fast and pays attention to efficiency. With the help of his magic and summoned objects, everything is on the right track at the fastest speed.

Artoria traveled abroad, eradicating the bandits and murderers she met, and saving people from the destroyed villages and towns that were caught in blood and fire. Maybe this time she only saved a dozen people, and she will be able to do so next time. Saved hundreds of people.

These people were all arranged to migrate here, and then they were immediately assigned corresponding jobs.

The able-bodied men were required to reclaim the land, or log and transport, or build houses, open drainage ditches, etc.; women were assigned to do things like cooking, mending clothes, and feeding livestock.

Even children are assigned to do some work within their ability. If they are placed in later generations, they will probably be criticized by human rights organizations.

But in this precarious and chaotic era, there is nothing more reassuring than this.

Artoria originally wanted to convince people with morality and reasoning, and wanted to give a good speech to these people, express golden words, and promise what kind of life she would bring to them and what kind of life she would rebuild. order.

But it was stopped by Xia Ran, the magician told her that she didn't need to do such superfluous things at all, as long as she directly laid down the rules and made good work arrangements, as long as she could let them see hope, it would be better than all false claims Speeches need to be more persuasive.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. After seeing the chaos and turmoil of the entire island, the people who came here quickly accepted the new environment and began to spontaneously respect the rules, order and authority here.

After all, compared to the terrible situation of bandits and bloody fire outside, this newly built town is like a paradise isolated from the world.

Every aspect of the rules shows that no matter who the manager of this place is, he is determined to rectify his own order and not allow others to destroy it. This is enough to make people feel at ease. What is more reassuring than this in a troubled world? ?

And the work that everyone is assigned in a targeted manner also greatly pacifies the emotions of the people, making them feel that they are all valuable and will not be easily abandoned. In addition, the busy work not only enriches the body and mind, but also makes them feel There is no time for cranky thinking.

In this way, certain accidents are avoided to the greatest extent, and they will be completely integrated into it after they get used to it.

In addition, the magical magic and sufficient supplies made them feel fully guaranteed, so they quickly recognized the order of this place and put Xia Ran's arrangement on the right track.

With the people's determination to rebuild their own and others' homes, the rudimentary form of the town was naturally built very quickly, with buildings rising from the ground, spacious and flat The road is like a ditch beside the road, adding more distance every day than yesterday.

High sentry towers were built around the plain, and militiamen patrolled and monitored every day...

Although it is still very crude, it took less than ten days to achieve such a result. This speed was already frighteningly fast in the fifth century AD, and everyone saw hope.

Especially when they built the prototype of the town brick by brick with their own hands, they feel that there is a heavy and heavy feeling in it.

This is their new home, no matter what, many people have secretly made up their minds, if any more robbers come to attack, he will go all out and fight those bastards!

It is also a process of belonging.

And on the mountain peaks adjacent to the plain, a majestic tower is also standing, almost "growing" every day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While this made the people feel awe, they also felt a sense of security from the bottom of their hearts. A powerful magician lived next to the town. There is nothing better than this...
