My Sister is Arturia

Arthur's footsteps appeared to be in a hurry, and he walked through the square outside the city, followed by Bettywell, Lamarlock, Triss, Garahan, and Lancelot, who seemed not very happy. There are lots of camps in front of you, noisy sounds, and the strange smell that comes out when a group of men gather together. Fortunately, because of the winter, those smells are not so strong. Because after the rain and snow, on the ground that was frozen hard by the low temperature, a steaming lunch was being boiled on the pots and stoves one by one.

"His Majesty King Arthur and Her Royal Highness Princess Triss, according to our preliminary statistics, and the people who are still in the process of recording, the number of these mercenaries, who are called volunteers, is about 1000 to [-]." The officials who led Arthur and Arthur's maiden knights to the square were castle officials responsible for statistics and management of the square. He put a knife on Arthur's neck when they met for the first time, but Triss, as Her Royal Highness Princess of this kingdom, still has some rights.

After Arthur analyzed it, he considered that there were still this group of Lower Saxons on the European road, that is, the European road. Of course, they are also called Anglo-Saxons by the British Celts in this era. So much so that when the Old Harbor was occupied by the Anglo-Saxons, Arthur thought the attack came from Scandinavia, but if the Anglo-Saxons who occupied the Old Harbor did not come from Scandinavia The Navian invaders probably came from the Anglo-Saxons of Europa for so long. Geographically speaking, the Europa continent, which is located directly south of the British mainland, wanted to cross the strait to attack the British mainland. Biss Scandinavia is much simpler as a starting point, and the Kingdom of Wessex, which is defenseless against invaders from the Europa continent, is likely to suffer unimaginable damage.

"There are only so few people..." Arthur sighed somewhat disappointedly, although he understood that in this era, this place could not be like the far east, where 10,000+ people and 10 people would come out as soon as the banner waved, But the huge kingdom plus a bounty of 1000 gold coins and mercenaries from all walks of life pulled out a coalition army of about [-] people. disappointment.

The Old Port has been occupied for almost two months, and during this period of time, the nobles of the Kingdom of Wessex did their best to recover the lost territory, but most of the conscripts in the territory have been captured. The former king of Britain, King Uther, rallied to fight against the invaders in the north. He even brought the troops of the Kingdom of Wessex to the northern front. Therefore, in the Kingdom of Wessex, apart from the basic standing defense, other troops Whether it is in terms of scale or combat effectiveness, it is really not enough. Most of the battles to recover the old port ended in failure. After many failures, King Tryndamere no longer wasted manpower to forcefully attack the old port, but chose After waiting for the troops withdrawn from the north to return to Wessex, they will regain the old port in one go.

Originally, there was no big problem with this plan, but a group of giants suddenly appeared in the north, probably because of some unusual clues, and considering the loss of the battle with the giants, King Tryndamere of Wessex finally Or choose to rely on the Adventurer's Union to release high-value bounty tasks.

"Compared to the less than 1000 intruders occupying the Old Port, our number is not small. Counting the nearly 1000 conscripts assembled by the Kingdom, and the 2000 volunteers who have been summoned , our 350-man coalition force is twice as strong as the enemy's." The official looked confident: "Even if you don't count the [-] elite cavalry you brought with you, His Majesty King Arthur, we are confident enough to recover The old port is gone. And our morale is high now, with all due respect, we have no chance of losing!"

"Ha... I'm a little worried about this poisonous grandma..." Arthur looked at the confident official in front of him, and said to himself a little worried.

"Sounds very reasonable." Lamarok nodded, then froze for a moment: "Wait, wait?! Are we going to fight later?!"

"Hey? Are you just realizing it now?" Arthur saw the reaction of the small wine barrel loli in front of him, because he had the same name as the Twelve Knights of the Round Table in Arthur's memory, and the super strong one could be regarded as the beginning With the same strength, Arthur decided to take the little loli Lamarlock in front of him in this expedition, but it seems that Lamarlock is still not in the state yet.

"We are going to defeat all the enemies of Brother Arthur!" Galahan, who is about the same age as Lamarlock, said so firmly, as if to say, "Whoever opposes Brother Arthur, we will blow him up!" The dog's head, step on it again, so that he will never turn over." Probably this is the momentum.

"If you are afraid of Lamarok, I can send you back to Camelot. Although you have great strength, you are really just a child." Bettywell touched her like a big sister. Lamarok's head, it seems that Ramalok doesn't hate this kind of touching.

"No way! I'm just a little unresponsive, I'm afraid, or something, I won't!" Although Lamarok said so, he still looked a little scared, which made Arthur ring It was the first time I saw her before, when she was surrounded by three little dragons.

"A person without courage is not worthy of being called a knight, let alone the number one knight. In the final analysis, those people are all hateful invaders. I will use my long sword to defeat them all!" Lancelot said. Te raised his rusty sword, which seemed to be shining black in the sun. If rust can also reflect light, it must be so.

"Okay, it's normal to be nervous on the battlefield for the first time, just don't feel ashamed about it." Triss finally concluded, and then looked at Arthur: "If the situation is really According to your calculations, Arthur, those invaders from Europa may flood into the British mainland from the sea at any time, the sooner we move, the better, if possible, I hope to take away these coalition forces now."

"However, Your Highness Triss! There is no order from His Majesty the King yet, and our army can't just leave like that." The official said hurriedly after hearing what Triss said.

"There is no need to gather so much trouble. If the situation is really as you said, Triss, maybe by the time the swearing-in meeting is over, the number of invaders will already be several times our number." Everyone was surprised. Surprisingly, from behind Arthur and the others, King Tryndamere, who was wearing a thick fur cloak, had already walked over surrounded by a group of armored soldiers. Knowing the Tryndamere in front of them, some people even bowed slightly to salute Tryndamere. Obviously, the middle-aged Tryndamere has a very high prestige among this group of adventurers.

"Your Majesty the King." The official who showed Arthur and others around the temporary barracks looked at Tryndamere approaching, bowed down and said respectfully.

Tryndamere nodded at him, then walked straight up to Arthur.

"As the father of Triss, don't I know what kind of character my daughter is? When I learned that she was looking for the official in charge of the Garrison Square, I guessed her plan. Although I received You are my adopted son, but do you want my army to serve you now?" Tryndamere stood in front of Arthur, holding the hilt of his sword.

"That's right, Lord Tryndamere, I need your army. At this critical moment, I need them to protect my people." Arthur nodded, and the Knights of the Round Table behind him had already sensed that the Tryndamere people A little bit too much doubt, and nervous.

Even Triss said that it would not be easy to change Tryndamere's original plan of attacking the giant groups blocking the north, but attacking the invaders in the south with the tall and strong city walls. , and wait for the army to merge with the expeditionary force returning from the north, and then go south to recover the Old Port, it may be too late. The English Channel has warm currents, and it will not freeze all year round. If the enemy really comes from For invaders from the European continent, the English Channel is not like the North Sea where it takes several months to sail to reach the mainland of Britain. It takes almost two months from assembly to crossing the sea.

"If you really think so, then take it!" Tryndamere opened his hand and patted Arthur on the shoulder vigorously: "When the old port was occupied, none of the nobles were looking for some title The claimants came to rob the Old Port, and those Judson family members, as long as they had any inheritance rights, those who claimed the rights would all go to other kingdoms, which really disgusts me."

As Tryndamere said, Arthur touched his face in embarrassment. He felt that what the old man said was disgusting. He tried to find other heirs of the Old Port, and then obtained the benefits of the Old Port from the Kingdom of Wessex. , including your own appearance.

"But if you really consider it for the sake of the British Empire, then allow me to offer my loyalty, my adopted son and my lord, Your Majesty King Arthur!" Tryndamere drew out his long sword, nailed it, and put his hands together On the hilt.

At Tryndamere's words, the nobles and soldiers behind him drew out their long swords at once. The tip of the long sword was on the ground. They kept the same movements as Tryndamere, declaring their loyalty.

The crowd in the square, of course, heard Tryndamere's words. When they heard about King Arthur's name, they looked at Arthur standing in front of Tryndamere in surprise.

"Is that His Majesty King Arthur? The silver armored knight who slays the dragon?"

"It looks quite young. I thought it was a child of some noble family."

"Has His Majesty King Arthur come to join our coalition?"

"With His Majesty King Arthur here, we are sure to win! Great, after getting this reward, I must go home and visit my hometown. I haven't been back for a long time, I really miss it."

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll win this time. With so many of us and the support of His Majesty King Arthur, there must be a large number of reinforcements on the way. After I win, I'll take that sum of money and go back to my hometown to get married!"

"Hehe, it seems that this suicide note I wrote is useless, if His Majesty King Arthur is here."

It seems that the adventurers and mercenaries here are very confident in Arthur's strength, probably because of the record of defeating the black dragon Onyxia, but the wave after wave is quite disappointing. If you don't worry, what's the situation?

"Let those enemies who have invaded our homeland drain the last drop of blood in remorse, howl heartily under our sharp blades, and move, warriors, God bless Wessex, God bless Britain, and God bless King Arthur!"

Tryndamere grabbed Arthur's hand, held it high in the air, and shouted to the people with "victory" expressions on their faces.

Following the words of Tryndamere, the adventurers in the temporary square were quickly mobilized. Although some places were not yet organized and basic officers were not in place, there was already too much time for repairs in situ, and Those nobles who belonged to Wessex also led the order of King Tryndamere to the camp of their own levies.

The army of only about 2000 people prepared at an extremely fast speed. When the sun was about to set, Arthur finally took himself and Wolf Stark's 2000 cavalry to lead the [-] people who had been mixed with fish and dragons. The army marched out of the "Crystal Capital" Dorset, and their goal was no longer towards the Damned Canyon in the north, but directly towards the south - the Old Port!

The chilling atmosphere of war has spread across the plains of the Kingdom of Wessex.

PS: The first update

no.393 I'm going to ride Onyxia now

When Arthur was riding a horse with arrogance, he thought that the representative epic sense of "Game of Thrones", "Brave Heart", "Joan of Arc", "Kingdom of Heaven" and so on was about to appear on him , especially when I was still playing the role of the protagonist among the protagonists such as the King of Britain, but the situation seemed to be completely different from what I imagined.

Most of the team of more than 2000 people mentioned above are adventurers and mercenaries without horses. Walking to the old port in the south is a very time-consuming thing. If you want to describe it, you can probably refer to Let’s take a look at the situation of the children in the kindergarten going out together. The children could walk the road in 10 minutes, but we can walk for half an hour holding hands together. Although the brave warriors are likened to the children in the kindergarten , a bit weird and disrespectful, but in fact, it is true.

Of course, although he is the leader of this coalition of more than 2000 people in name, it is the middle and low-level officers in the army who are actually directing such a behemoth to move in a certain direction on the plain in an orderly manner. , and because half of the people are adventurers and mercenaries, in many cases these officers are temporarily from among the mercenaries and adventurers, and as for the Kingdom of Wessex, because most of the army is Conscripts from various nobles, so everyone is quite distinct in terms of clothing, marching paths, and tent camps.

The army in front of him seemed to be a motley bunch of ugly monsters that had been pulled together from various places. Although Arthur didn't know much about the details of marching and fighting, looking at the loose components, it was more or less I'm a little bit lost.

But this is indeed an objective fact that cannot be changed in a short period of time. The system of lords and nobles has already determined that it is impossible for the lords to maintain a large standing army, because most nobles have a relatively high degree of autonomy, and taxes and food are handed over. The probability is less than 30.00%, and most places even get the maximum military support from the vassals by exempting them from all taxes, but even in this case, if the lord and the vassals are not sworn brothers In terms of relationship, most of them can only get 50.00% to [-]% of the troops of the vassals.

The only way to solve this situation is to reduce the self-government system of vassals, which is the so-called increase of the central imperial power, but this is basically impossible, as if everyone is practicing polygamy and enjoys it every day When you are about to die, you suddenly announce that polygamy is not allowed, and you will implement an absolutely heretical monogamy system. I believe that what greets you is not flowers and applause, but blood and thunder.

When there is no way to reduce the autonomy of vassals and increase the number of conscription in the country, there are only two other ways. Establish a complete standing army system and hire high-quality large mercenaries for a long time. All of these require huge wealth, and the only one that can do this is the huge Roman Empire. They don’t have the problem of excessive aristocratic autonomy when they implement the governor system, and the huge area also gives them a lot of wealth. Wealth, but the situation in the Roman Empire is not very optimistic now.

With regard to improving the armament system of the British Empire and increasing the quantity and quality of the standing army, in the final analysis it is a matter of money. If you have money, everything is easy to do, but if you don’t have money, everything is versatile.
