Lords of Camelot

The war ended with the complete defeat of Rome and the death of Lucius. Artoria collected Lucius's body and put the broken Florent in half into the coffin, and handed them back to the Roman senator who had accompanied Lucius and was still alive. .

"I spare you because I want you to transport these corpses back to Rome and tell all the nobles and senators in Rome for me. These corpses I send are the tribute taxes I pay to Rome. If they are dissatisfied, then I You can also go to Rome and pay them more tribute like this.”

Arturia coldly said these words to the dozen or so MPs who were still alive, and asked them to lead the participating Roman coalition forces to leave here and return to Rome.

After listening to the declaration of the King of Knights with trepidation, those congressmen clasped their buttocks and thanked the king for his grace and left here. Davian and Wenqinlibu were holding back laughter behind them, because among the last surviving congressmen, there were even Several of them were the ones who first came to Britain to show off their power and make them pay tribute. Now looking at their embarrassing appearance, Davian and Wengenlieb just wanted to laugh.

After those senators left, the arrogant Romans immediately left the Sesoni Valley in despair. The speed with which they ran away was so fast that even Davian was stunned. These guys were really good at everything and ranked first in running away.

"If you want to laugh, you can just laugh without holding back." Arturia looked at Davian who was holding back his laughter and couldn't help but said this. After hearing my king's words, Davian couldn't help laughing wildly.

"These damn Romans came to Britain to show off their power, and now they are beaten like this by us. They deserve it!" Davian laughed for a while, and then returned to normal. After all, it's okay to laugh about this kind of thing, they still have a lot of things to do.

At this time, Artoria took off her helmet and handed it to Merlin beside him, and then said to Davian: "Would you like to walk with me? Merlin, please go and deal with the relevant matters first. After this battle, We can also return to Britain."

"Yes, my lord." Merlin left the scene respectfully. Davian also turned around and winked at Wenqenrib, who saluted him and left.

Davian stayed with Artoria, and the two of them took a stroll in the short leisure after the battle. As they walked, Artoria said: "This war is over, and we have consumed a lot of money. I'm afraid we will have to recuperate for a long time after we go back. What do you think our next strategy should be?"

Davian tilted his head and expressed his thoughts:

"Before Camelot is completely completed, let's rest and recuperate temporarily. Have the remaining Saxons on the island realized that their good days are over? Before we go to war with them, they will definitely try their best to plunder everything they can. . Let other lords bear this pressure first."

His idea was simple, regardless of whether the war between King Perinoa and the Five Kings Company on the other side had been won. The troops directly under my king suffered heavy losses in the battle with Rome. They consumed a lot of soldiers and supplies. Although the victory in the war with Rome can make up for the material losses, soldiers are not something that can be made up just like playing games.

If we continue to wage war against the Saxons in the current situation, my king's power will be too weak regardless of victory or defeat. In order to avoid counterattacks by the island kings due to ambition or other reasons, they had better make sufficient preparations before starting a decisive battle against the aliens. This must be the final battle on the British island, and they will definitely win.

"I think the kings will be dissatisfied because of this. The cold-hearted King Arthur only regards us as bait to fight against foreign races, and does not consider their life and death at all." Artoria also smiled. It was not that she had not thought of this. as a result of. But she didn't care much about it. Sometimes this kind of sacrifice was needed. For Britain's final peace, as a king she must have this awareness.

"Sorry, with my intelligence I can only think of this way. After all, not all the guys on the island obey you sincerely. I must weaken their power to maintain our advantage of overpowering the entire Britain. Only in this way can we Guarantee the long-term peace and stability of your kingdom." Davian did not think of this, but for the sake of Artoria, he had no choice but to make this move.

Then Davian thought of something, and he suddenly smiled and said: "And you can say that this is all my idea. I don't care about these infamy, just let them say it. Anyway, I can't do without a piece of meat, theirs The sound in my ears is nothing more than the helpless barking of a dog."

Hearing his words, Artoria couldn't help but laugh. But then her face took on a haze again, for this war against Rome. She once again completely drained several villages and towns, and those villagers were even forced to leave their hometowns and start anew near Camelot to survive. In fact, this has caused many knights to dislike her.

Davian could see what she was thinking. After all, he was involved in those things. Even the village of Cain that once took him in was squeezed out by him. Davian would occasionally think of the look Spade looked at him before leaving for Camelot. It was a look of complaint and confusion. He couldn't understand how Davian, who was once full of dreams and friendliness, could become like this.

"Don't keep thinking about those things, sometimes there is no way. I don't like things like that, but we have to do it. As for those guys who don't understand you...that's how chivalry is, if they feel like fighting They should win without sacrificing others, but how could such a victory happen? It’s just their daydream.”

But once the war starts, the small village will not be included in the things that should be protected by the knights. But they also felt that if they squeezed those villages clean, it would be an unjust act that violated chivalry. But they don't want to think about how to maintain their equipment, how to protect their rations and the rations of their war horses if they don't do this?

Of course the king does not want to exploit the people, but if he does not do this and does not work hard to enrich his armaments. Their military is simply unable to resist the invasion of other countries, and the country will lose the power to protect its people. This would be the worst outcome, and Artoria didn't want to see this.

But she must do this, even if she will be criticized by the people and knights as an exploiter, she must do it.

"Someone must come forward to do these things, it can be me or you. Otherwise their life will not only be hard, they will not even be able to save their lives. Compared with losing their lives in the war, now they can at least Blame you and then live with difficulty. This may be the so-called - it is better to die than to live in disgrace."

Davian revealed the harsh truth, a reality that both of them had realized long ago. Compared with chivalry, protecting the people of the country is more important. This is their consensus.
