Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Chapter 39: Vortigern Surrenders

"Everyone keeps their distance from Saint Kelar as a non-human, but the Eternal King has faith in him."

——The Gospel of Kelar
-
"I see. Did those bastards fail after all?"

"We attacked a territory with only 500 knights, and yet we were able to wipe out the entire army?"

After learning about the defeat of the Ansars, Vortigern did not get angry. He just said calmly, "That stupid bastard Hengist not only failed to complete my orders, but also behaved so disgracefully. It really makes me lose face!"

"That kid Kelar sent back 20,000 people? Haha?" Vortigern's gray pupils suddenly turned vertical, and the cold gaze unique to the God Era Dragon Snake was chilling.

The few remaining Celtic lords loyal to Vortigern quickly lowered their heads in humility, expressing their submission to the tyrannical king, not even daring to breathe.

The expression made by the usually moody King Futigeng showed that he was extremely angry, but he just hadn't found a way to vent it.

As expected, the next moment, Vortigern patted the armrest of the throne and said, "Why? Why did that brat Kelar send back 20,000 Ansar captives? Is he pitying me? Is he pitying me, a lonely old man who has no people left?"

"Since he defeated those 70,000 Angsa bastards, why didn't he behead all the defeated incompetent bastards as a demonstration to me?"

Vortigern could no longer hold back and flew into a rage, “Well, well, a little brat who was only born a few days ago is now bullying me… When my power was overwhelming the British Isles, that little brat was still in his mother’s womb!”

"Pass on my order, behead all 20,000 incompetent Angsa bastards and send them back to Maple Ridge!"

A hint of cruelty and brutality flashed across the vertical pupils of the Vortigern dragon snake: "Give this gift to that brat Kelar, and show him with practical actions what the glory of a Celtic warrior is!"

The will of the King cannot be violated. The Angsa people living under the rule of the King Vortigern dare not resist Vortigern's orders at all.

What's more, the Bian king also has Celtic warriors as the core army. The Ansas are homeless people who have been squeezed out of their living position and exiled from Europe. If they turn against this brutal protector in the Bian king's territory, they will eventually die without a single one left.

They could only kill their sons, fathers and brothers with tears in their eyes under the coercion of the humble king, cut off their heads, load them on the boat and send them to Maple Ridge.

It’s not that some people have thought about rebelling or escaping, but where can they escape to?

Keilar, Maple Ridge…

It's just too far.

There are countless territories of Celtic lords in between. If they rebel, then both the Celtic lords under King Uther and the Celtic lords under Vortigern will attack them, and they will have no way of reaching Maple Ridge alive.

The Ansa people are too close to Vortigern and too far from Kelar!
If they obeyed Vortigern's tyranny, only 20,000 people would die. If they did not obey the king's orders, all the foreign Ansa people might die. Today on the British Isles, there are still as many as 200,000 Ansa people under the rule of King Vortigern, and they dare not go against the king's will.

However, this move by the king completely alienated the Angsa people from Vortigern. Some Angsa people shouted before they died: "Kairal pardoned me, but Vortigern wanted to kill me!"

"Is this really a king worthy of our loyalty?"

After the bloody massacre, most of the Ansa people began to flee. They longed for Maple Ridge, which was like the promised land and the Garden of Eden in the words of their relatives who had returned briefly, where there were benevolent lords who loved them and sacred strongmen who protected them.

[At the age of 16, you celebrated your sixteenth birthday in Maple Ridge, but received a special gift on your birthday. ]

[The humble king Vortigern took special care of you, the "younger generation", and issued a declaration of war to you, showing the style of a textbook Celtic barbarian - he beheaded all the Ansa people who were forgiven by you, and sent them back on your birthday.]

[You buried the heads of these innocent people with a smile, and swore to all the witnesses that sooner or later, his teachings would hit Vortigern's head like a whip raised high by the sky.] [Contrary to what Hector and all the Celtic lords thought, after you forgave and accepted 50,000 Ansa people, your territory was not eaten up by these Ansa people, but became richer instead.]

[These are young and strong laborers who can serve as soldiers if they pick up weapons. They can also create value if they pick up production tools. According to later economic theories, this is a pure demographic dividend.]

[Unfortunately, the Celtic barbarians do not understand what economics is. They fight for the sake of war and kill for the sake of killing. They are not afraid of life and death, but it is meaningless! ]

【Little do they know that in the eyes of civilized people, war is only the lowest means, an unnecessary and last resort to achieve political goals.】

[Your territory is prosperous and rich, and you are beginning to delegate power and let Artoria govern. As your disciple and future King Arthur, Artoria has done a great job in fulfilling your orders and is beginning to intentionally form a new army of Ansa for military settlement.]

[After the incident of presenting the head on Vortigern's birthday, the Ansa people who stayed in Maple Ridge were completely disappointed with the tyrant Vortigern. It was impossible for them to return to the King's command, so they could be recruited without any worries and used to attack Vortigern's territory in the future.]

[And Kelar, you are considering Merlin's suggestion - whether to take Altria to travel around Britain.]

[According to this person, as a king, the future King Arthur must experience the suffering of the people, understand the living conditions of the people under his rule, and understand the turbulent Britain of the Age of Gods.]

[You think what she said is right, and in the name and voice of Merlin, you give King Uther advice, asking this king who has never left the palace to work among the people.]

[It is unknown how King Uther reacted after hearing the news. Anyway, he sent his palace steward back. It is unknown whether Sir Ector was expelled from the capital by King Uther because of his eldest son.]

[But you understood King Uther's subtext. You kept Sir Ector, the original lord of Maple Ridge, but did not give up his power. Instead, you selected three top civil servants from among tens of thousands of people in the territory to manage the territory.]

[They are Qian Gu, Shu Qi, and Xing Ming, the three stewards of the territory, who are responsible for the taxation, government affairs, and justice of the territory respectively.]

[This is the staff system of China during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It was used in Britain in the fifth century AD, which was directly advanced by a thousand years.]

[You gave Sir Hector many instructions, saying that he must not interfere in Maple Ridge's internal affairs, and that he only needed to eat, drink, play, sleep, and exercise every day. Then you prepared to travel the British Isles with Altria.]

[Yes, just the two of you.]

[This made the great wizard Merlin, who also came with him, dumbfounded. How could Fatty Four travel around Britain without a heavyweight like her? ]

[You reiterated that you rejected the request of the Great Sage Merlin to follow you, and the great magician also firmly opposed it and did not hesitate to fight with you for it.]

[In three rounds, you cut off Merlin's sword with your lunch knife for cutting meat and bread. It seems that our flower magician needs to change to a staff sword.]

[The Caster candidate who dominated Britain with his swordsmanship and had no rivals could not defeat a young 'boy'. ]

[I, Merlin, would like to call you the strongest! ]

〈You have been awarded the title 'True British Swordmaster'〉

[You broke Merlin's weapon, pointed at her nose and said, "Old thing, your swordsmanship is the most useless!"]

[Merlin looked around and made sure there was no one else around, then he immediately fell to the ground and rolled around, holding onto your feet and started to act like a scoundrel. Merlin thought you were a knight who didn't kill, and there was nothing he could do about such a scoundrel.]
