On the day before departure, Yanain once again convened everyone in the chamber and asked about the preparations.

"At present, the first batch of grain and grass has been fully loaded, and we will follow us to the north. I have also told Mr. Kars about the follow-up arrangement, which is enough to ensure the normal supply of grain." Bedwell said.

"The recovery of funds is still relatively good. All the land has been sold, and half of the luxury goods have been sold. With this income, it is enough to sustain us in this war." Altoli Yadao, because Morgan has been in charge of the quasi-loop these days, so the financial tasks are entrusted to her.

Although it was the first time she had come across this kind of thing, Arturia was actually an ideal king who had been given high hopes since she was a child. This kind of thing was actually not difficult for Artoria.

"At present, the number of nobles in Camelot responding to this war is close to two-thirds, and almost [-] soldiers have been summoned, and [-] soldiers will go to the northern border in the future." Ferius said, eyes There is obvious confusion.

To be honest, he didn't understand why this happened at all. Obviously, everyone doubted whether the war could be won, but when he came to ask for soldiers, everyone agreed very readily.

This doesn't look like the gang of profit-seeking guys at all!

Could it be that the previous big purge really left such a deep shadow on these guys?

——In fact, this is mainly due to the [Seed of Corrosion] left by Yanaen in the spiritual world of these nobles by using Yuduchen and Jizo Yuhun at Morgan's banquet.

It is precisely because of the existence of [Seed of Corrosion] that even if these nobles are not very optimistic about this war, they will take the initiative to serve Yanaen.

Including the reason why those territories and luxury goods can be sold so quickly, there are actually reasons for this.

So when the public opinion spread before, Yanain didn't care at all. Anyway, no matter what you say, just obediently pay me money and soldiers.

At the end, Lan Maloch stood up and had only one sentence: "The Knights are ready and ready to go!"

Anain nodded in satisfaction.

Thanks to the hard work of him, Merlin, and Morgan during this period of time, they finally equipped all the members of the Knights with pseudo-circuits before departure.

After everyone understood how to use the magic power, he distributed the key to them.

——By the way, although the Domination Keys have the characteristics of infinite division, Yanain still holds the supreme control over all the Domination Keys. Without his permission, even the recognition of the Domination Keys cannot be used .

The power of the Key of Dominion is directly related to the will of the host, and the Knights of Yanain have gone through so many difficulties and obstacles, and their will has already been tempered quite firmly. Therefore, after getting the Key of Domination, everyone It was recognized immediately.

In particular, Lanmaloch directly released the power of the key of domination to the highest level.

With more than 300 more B+-level treasures, the strength of the Knights has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is getting closer and closer to the scene that Yanain imagined.

This time the battlefield is the best stage for them to prove themselves!

Yanain's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, a slight smile appeared in his eyes, he stood up and said: "Since everyone is ready, I won't say anything more, go back and have a good rest for a day, tomorrow morning, us--

"Go north and fight!"

Chapter 140 Chapter 15 War Begins! (4000 words)

This is Hadrian's Great Wall, a military fortress built here when the Roman Empire occupied Britain. Now the Romans have almost disappeared from this land, but this magnificent building still stands here, becoming the British people's defense against foreign enemies. solid barrier.

Everyone believes that as long as Hadrian's Great Wall does not fall, Vortigern will absolutely not be able to pose a threat to the southern border.

Yanain stood on Hadrian's Great Wall, the white cloak behind him was blown by the bitter cold wind, and he gently brushed the mottled and solid stones washed by the wind and snow with his hands, as if feeling the time Leave it thick on top.

"Your Majesty, General Bowers is here." Yulina, who was wearing a black robe, stepped forward and said.

——Since her return, Yulina has served as Yanain's personal maid, and this time she went north, she also volunteered to follow.

Yanain turned around and saw an old man approaching him gradually.

The old man is close to 1.9 meters tall. Although his hair and beard are already grey, he has a very strong figure. He is wearing a thick iron armor. His iron-gray eyes are full of sword-like sharpness. A temperament that is not angry and prestige.

This person is the defender of Hadrian's Great Wall, Bowers.

Bowles is a man of the same era as Felius. In the era when he was active, King Uther and Vortigern had not yet broken up. During the most chaotic time in Britain, he followed Uther and established a Countless outstanding military exploits.

Originally, with his merits, he could easily obtain a large territory, at least the title of duke, and live a peaceful and comfortable life from now on.

But later, with the breakup between Vortigern and King Uther and the defeat in the Battle of the North, Powers resolutely gave up everything and personally took on the important task of guarding Hadrian's Great Wall, and he kept it for 15 years.

If it weren't for his existence, this line of defense might have collapsed long ago.

Bowers stepped forward, but did not kneel down to salute Yanain, but stared at him with those eagle-like sharp eyes: "Are you the son of King Uther?"

Seeing Bowers' aggressive posture, Yulina couldn't help showing a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yanaen raising her hand.

"I am indeed King Uther's son, Arthur." Yanain looked at Bowers with a smile, showing no sign of annoyance.

"Where did you get the news that Vortigern sent troops south?" Bowles asked.

"It was my maid who eavesdropped on it from the Kent Palace." Yannen said.

Yulina immediately straightened her back proudly, making the fullness of her chest even more majestic.

Powers glanced at her indifferently, and then looked at Yanaen again, his face still unchanged: "It seems that you, a maid, are of extraordinary strength."

Yanain smiled and said, "It's just a bounty hunter who is a bit smart."

"Bounty hunter?" Bowers raised his rough eyebrows slightly, "You actually asked a bounty hunter to be your maid?"

In the general perception of the noble group, bounty hunters are a group of greedy and despicable hyenas who hide in the sewers and cannot see the sun. Even looking at them is a desecration to the eyes.

And this king actually kept a bounty hunter by his side?

"Hey! What do you mean by that! What's wrong with the bounty hunter? I didn't steal or rob, and I relied on my skills to make a living. And if it wasn't for me this time, I'm afraid that Vortigern's army would be overwhelmed by then." You're under the city wall and you haven't put on your pants yet!" Yulina said angrily.

Bowers was startled for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "What a sharp-tongued little girl, but you are right, this time is indeed your credit, I apologize to you for my offense just now."

After finishing speaking, he actually bowed towards Yulina.

Yulina froze for a moment, never expecting that the commander-in-chief who had guarded Hadrian's Great Wall for 15 years would actually salute herself.

"When I pick people, I always only value ability. As long as it can bring me value, whether it's a bounty hunter or a beggar on the roadside, I don't care at all." Yanain laughed.

"You are indeed a unique monarch." Bowles sighed slightly, and then his face became serious, "I have heard all about your deeds. To be honest, your grasp of the situation and The control of people's hearts is so terrifying that I am a little scared. I even have a feeling that letting you ascend to the throne will be the biggest mistake those guys make."

There was a little surprise in Yanain's eyes. He just showed some thoughts, but Bowers saw it?

Rather, this conclusion was reached only through some records and materials without contact with him himself.

As expected of a famous general who once followed King Uther, this insight is really not covered.

"But this kind of thing has nothing to do with me. I have neither a title nor a territory. I am just a soldier." Bowers said lightly.

Yanan said: "If you want, I can give you all of this."

This important minister of the Zhu Kingdom who once made great contributions to Camelot and guarded Hadrian's Great Wall for 15 years is one of the rare people who makes Yanain feel respected from the bottom of his heart. Nothing is too much to ask for.

"If I were interested in these things, I wouldn't be standing here now." Bowers sneered, and then his face immediately returned to the seriousness just now, "I am a soldier, and only a soldier, my only mission , is to defend the country and drive out foreign enemies.

"I don't care what you do to those nobles, I just need you to answer my question—"

Bowers stepped forward suddenly, his iron-gray eyes fixed on Yanain, exuding a compelling aura:

"For you, is the country or the people more important?"

Looking at Bowers' extremely serious face, Yanain smiled: "In my opinion, there is no difference between the two."

Powers frowned slightly.

Yanain said indifferently: "There is a country if you have a country, and you can't make a family without a country. The two are complementary and interdependent. There is no such thing as who is more important than the other."

"There are people who have a country, and those who don't have a country can't make a family..." Powers murmured in a low voice, with a look of relief in his eyes.

He looked at Yanann and said, "You know what? I once asked King Uther this question, and the answer he told me was that he believed that the people were more important than the country."

"Do you think what he said is wrong?" Yulina asked curiously.

"If he was right, I wouldn't be standing here now." Bowers sighed with incomparable complexity in his steel-grey eyes.

Then he knelt on the ground on one knee and bowed his head towards Yanain:

"Hadrian's Great Wall Commander Bowers, see Your Majesty!"

......

......

As time passed day by day, the atmosphere on Hadrian's Wall became more and more dignified. Everyone was busy doing what they should do to welcome the coming war.

As the most prestigious general present, Bowers did his part to carry the banner of the commander-in-chief. In addition to making tactical arrangements, he was also very good at distributing materials and dispatching personnel, fully demonstrating his superb military literacy .

The experience from history told Yanain that he should never point fingers at the fields he did not understand, so he did not intervene in Bowers' work at all, and handed over all the power to the other party.

On this day, the court warlocks brought by Yanann told him that their familiars had discovered an army of Angles and Saxons [-] kilometers away, with a number of about [-].

He immediately found Powers and told him the information.

"This should be the enemy's advance troops, which means that the main army is not far from here." Powers pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Yanain, "Your Majesty, what is your purpose for this war?"

Yanain was slightly taken aback, completely unexpected that Bowers would suddenly bring up this issue, and asked in confusion, "Does it matter?"

"War is a game of pursuing interests. Different purposes will determine what means we adopt." Bowers said lightly, "For example, if your purpose is to expel this army, then I will choose A relatively safe style of play, if you want to keep them all, or even take this opportunity to counterattack the northern border, then I will choose a more aggressive style of play."

Yanain pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, I am also quite curious, General Bowers, what kind of views do you have on this war. How about this, you and I each write a word on the palm, representing our respective How about your attitude?"

Powers froze for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

The two each picked up the quills on the table and wrote a word in their palms.

"Let's see how our tacit understanding is." Yanain smiled, spreading his palms, and Bowers made the same movement at the same time.

When the two looked at it, they saw the same word written on the palms of both sides—hit!

Yanain and Bowers looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"It seems that although General Bowers is old, the blood in his chest is not missing at all." Yanain laughed.

"We've endured it for 15 years, and it's time to teach those monkeys a lesson!" There was a hint of coldness in Bowles' iron-gray eyes.

Then Bowles immediately arranged for an army of 5000 people to snipe the advance army.

At Yanan's suggestion, this army was handed over to Artoria to lead.

——Actually, Bowers didn't quite agree with this suggestion at first, but after Yanann told him about Artoria's experience, he still decided to believe in this little girl who was raised by Merlin himself.

As a result, three days later, news came from the front that the 3000-strong army led by Artoria wiped out all the [-]-strong advance troops!

When the news was sent back to Hadrian's Wall, everyone's mood suddenly became excited, and their morale was greatly improved.

Even Bowers couldn't help sighing that he really underestimated Artoria.

The news of the annihilation of the advance troops quickly spread back to the Northern Allied Forces, which aroused the anger of Commander Lockes.

"It seems that the old guy Bowers has discovered our whereabouts." Lockes sneered, "Since this is the case, we don't have to hide any more. Let the whole army be informed and move forward at full speed!"
