I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

"Did the plan succeed?"

"It was successful, but the sword was not broken."

"Is that so? It seems like it's obviously unrealistic to just base it on legends."

In the same office, Victor and the other nobles were still discussing.

But then, the soldier who came to report whispered.

"But King Arthur still lost the sword in the stone."

Hearing this, everyone looked at him.

Victor frowned, "What's going on?"

The soldier pondered for a moment, and then began to talk about what he saw and heard, even Arthur's words and the reactions of the knights.

As he spoke, everyone in the office fell into a long silence, and the office was silent.

"Can we only say that it is indeed the destiny chosen by the Sword in the Stone?" Wood muttered absentmindedly.

After a moment, Victor said, "He is very good at winning people over."

"In your eyes, his behavior of throwing away the Sword in the Stone because he broke his oath is an act to win over people's hearts?"

At this time, a general who was over fifty years old and sitting opposite Victor spoke. He had a Chinese character face, a red beard and hair.

"Isn't it?" Victor asked.

“I opposed this despicable plan from the beginning.

And it was directed at a noble person. "

The red-bearded general stood up slowly and picked up the coat draped on the sofa.

"What are you going to do?" Victor frowned.

"I thought our goals were the same, Victor.

But now it seems that we are very different.

I quit. "

The red-bearded general pushed open the door. He stood at the door and looked at Victor.

“Victor, I think you need to really think about it.

Perhaps, that child is really more suitable to become the emperor of Britannia than you. "

The corners of Victor's eyes twitched slightly, and a look of sullenness appeared on his face.

"What do you understand!?"

"I have always understood." General Red Beard looked at him quietly, "Your ambition has exceeded your ability. You are not as good as that child in terms of ability and size.

Have some fear of God, Victor. "

After saying that, he turned around and left here.

The entire office fell into silence again. The people around looked at the furious Victor and then at the open door. No one dared to speak.

As the door closed again, Wood couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness, we"

"Don't worry about him!" Victor quickly calmed down, his eyes flashing coldly, "I have no need for him anymore.

Since Arthur is seeking death himself and abandoning the Sword in the Stone, then we will help him too.

Wood, according to the original plan, used the shadows placed in the army.

Before he regrets taking back the Sword in the Stone.

They wouldn't have thought that we would launch a second attack any time soon. "

"Yes."

"What about the Sword in the Stone?" Wood said.

"The sword was once stuck on the high platform of the Baal Cathedral in the imperial capital. Millions of people have tried, but no one can pull it out." Victor looked at Wood, "If you have this Be confident, you can give it a try.”

"I understand."

Wood immediately stood up, pushed the door open and walked out with the soldier who reported.

"Can it succeed?" asked a noble.

"All his power obviously comes from the Sword in the Stone." Victor said confidently, "Without the Sword in the Stone, he is just a child under the age of sixteen. Our shadow in the military is enough."

Several people around him nodded solemnly. They did not leave, but continued to wait here for the results.

Three or four hours passed, and the sky became a little hazy and gradually turned white.

But no news came.

As time went by, Victor's face became increasingly ugly.

After an unknown amount of time, a spy finally opened the door and walked in. He looked around at the senior officials of Victor's department.

Under their expectant eyes, the man said solemnly.

"News came from the army that King Arthur was assassinated again, but the assassins were all eliminated."

At this time, Victor's expression turned completely gloomy, and the expressions of the people around him also became much uglier.

"Did the Celtic Knights react?" Victor asked.

"No." There was an unspeakable fear in the man's eyes, "King Arthur solved it by himself, with his bare hands."

The office fell silent again, and Victor took a deep breath.

"He threw away the Sword in the Stone on purpose."

"He guessed our plan." A noble beside him whispered absently, "The purpose is to tell us that whether the sword in the stone is in his hand or not, the result will be the same."

"This is a warning."

"It's also a taunt."

“It even won over people’s hearts.”

As they discussed, the purpose of what Arthur did after falling into the trap was gradually figured out in their minds.

As Arthur's purpose was gradually analyzed by them, a sense of powerlessness gradually enveloped them.

"Prince." A person in the office couldn't help but look at Victor, "Should we sue for peace temporarily?"

Victor did not speak, but silently clenched his fists.

“My Emperor, the corpses have been taken care of, and we are now investigating their origins, which should be able to trace back to how they entered the army.

Maybe we can get to the bottom of it and track down the mastermind behind it.

Also, I think you should find another place to live in the near future instead of living in a tent like us. It's too dangerous here. "

In the army camp, Wolfe was making a report to Arthur, and there were other people standing around.

It's not that the army can't live in cities and villages. After all, this is Britannia's own land, so it's naturally different from West France.

The main purpose of living in tents was to keep away the plague.

"No need to bother." Arthur closed his eyes to rest, "How is the naval training going?"

The Spanish Empire is different from the West French Empire.

The Spanish Empire is a country with great maritime power and its warships are very powerful. If you want to take back the territory in the coastal areas from its hands, you must train a navy.

Even though Arthur's combat power is terrifying, he cannot form an army by himself. Facing the war at sea, he is also somewhat powerless.

There are many islands outside the mainland of Britannia that were also occupied by the Spanish Empire, and these islands must be recaptured.

The official on one side stood up and spoke.

"The military factory is working hard to build warships. The technical department obtained some technology from Beichen. We installed steam engines on the warships and used them as power to sail farther.

In addition, a year ago, a large iron mine was discovered in Colorado. Under the operation of Her Majesty Isabel, we established many huge mineral processing plants and steel plants there.

In the past two years, Britannia's steel production has more than doubled compared to before the war. The technical department plans to use steam technology to build a warship covered with a large amount of steel. "

"Won't it sink?" Wolfe asked.

The official smiled and said, "Sir, although the steel ship is made of steel, it is not solid and has a lot of air inside. You can try to see if it can sink by throwing an empty iron bottle into the sea.

It will float soon. This is the buoyancy discovered by Mr. Archimedes.

Any object can float on water as long as the weight of the water it displaces in the water is greater than its own weight. "

Wolfe nodded.

"If we can really have a steel warship, then our maritime army will be invincible."

War is always the most effective way to promote the development of science and technology, and can even determine the direction of scientific and technological development.

The time period when human technology exploded was almost after World War I and World War II.

War requires huge productivity to support it, and in order to increase productivity, technology will naturally advance accordingly.

"How long will it take?" Arthur asked.

“The construction plan for the warship prototype was prepared before the start of the war on the Eastern Front and has been basically completed.

After the official ship construction starts, it will take about one to two years. "

Arthur nodded, this was part of his plan, "Now, our main plan is to defend and retreat to the inland and plains where we are better at.

There are vast plains in the south that they cannot invade, but they cannot sit back and let them occupy all our coastal cities.

The cavalry also still had to carry out harassment work.

Wait for the completion of the warships before launching a counterattack.

Before that, we can deal with the plague and some internal troubles. "
