The offensive from the Kingdom of Sendrid came very quickly, and King Odin of Sendred was already mad! He didn’t even wait for the messenger from Camelot to explain the situation, and immediately sent troops. When Kai arrived at the border,
The war broke out without warning.
If Kai hadn't secretly deployed the Lyon Knights at the border in order to ensure the safety of Arthur and the others, Camelot might have suffered a big loss when it was unprepared. But even so, Camelot's side
Still helplessly pushed back the defense line.
There is no way, after all, no one intends to go to war with the Kingdom of Cendrid.
By the way, Eldor has been destroyed. The day after Arthur killed Prince Aledri, Eldor was destroyed by the angry nobles of the Kingdom of Cendrid. Fortunately, after killing Aledri again
, Arthur and the others expected that the revenge of the Cendrid Kingdom would come back soon, so they persuaded the villagers to follow them back to Camelot, otherwise the hundred or so people in Eldor would definitely be hanged by the angry nobles.
die!
But even so, more than a dozen villagers who refused to move were hanged by the nobles.
Kai had no intention of paying attention to this kind of thing. He could only organize his troops to resist Sendrid's attack while trying to find a way to end this trouble. He thought about contacting the nobles of the Kingdom of Sendrid, hoping to use them to negotiate with Sendred.
King Dredd agreed that after all, war benefits no one.
Unfortunately, this is of no use. King Odin of Cendrid has gone crazy. He doesn't listen to any advice at all and only wants revenge.
Faced with this situation, Kai could only bite the bullet and deal with the Kingdom of Cendrid, hoping to end this war at the minimum cost.
…
While Kai was busy, Camelot was not idle either. The first was Arthur, who was thrown directly into the dungeon by King Uther. Of course, this was more of a show, Uther
The king must give this attitude to make things easier for King Odin. Once things take a turn for the worse, King Uther will naturally let Arthur go. Why is Arthur the only son of King Uther?
Although Morgana and others were not thrown into prison, they still had a hard time. Morgana was grounded, and Merlin was whipped by King Uther again! The crime was that he failed to dissuade the prince.
This time the beatings were less, only ten lashes. This was because King Uther was more reasonable. Knowing that Merlin was really not to blame for this incident, he showed mercy.
Merlin didn't have any complaints this time. After all, the incident did happen because of his request. If it weren't for him, Arthur wouldn't have been able to go to Eldor, and everything that happened after that would naturally be out of the question.
The only one who was unscathed was Gwen Gundam. King Uther thought very simply. He didn't think that a maid like Gungirl could change anything. She could neither fight nor give orders. She was just a soy sauce party from beginning to end.
.King Uther didn't even pay much attention to her, so she was the only one who was safe.
It is also because of this that Gun Niang has more opportunities to contact Arthur.
Wasn't Morgana grounded, so even if she was worried about Arthur's situation in the dungeon, she didn't have the chance to see Arthur in person, so she asked her to take care of Arthur. Merlin happened to be whipped ten times, but she didn't
If you don't have the ability to take care of Arthur, it's your turn to take care of Arthur.
Arthur blamed himself very much for his impulsiveness.
Obviously before setting off, Kai had told him many times not to cause trouble and to come back as soon as he finished dealing with the robbers, but he didn't expect...
When he realized that his impulsiveness would kill so many innocent lives, Arthur had the urge to commit suicide.
Fortunately, at this time, Gun Niang, the interpretive flower, stayed by his side all the time, constantly motivating him and persuading him, making him feel a little better.
It was also this back and forth that quickly heated up the relationship between men and women who originally admired each other. Well, precisely because Gun Niang was sensible and pleasant, Arthur completely ignored Gun Niang's crooked mouth and the shortcomings of looking like a man... Ah, no
, it should be said that in Arthur's eyes, this girl has no flaws and is extremely beautiful.
Fortunately, Kai is not here, otherwise he would definitely find a doctor to treat his eyes and maybe his brain! (Every time I see Gun Niang on TV, the author can think of his fifth uncle, no,
The author’s fifth uncle is at least much fairer than Gun Niang!)
…
Fortunately, although both parties liked each other, they were still sober and knew that their identities were not a good match, so they did not express their feelings clearly and just allowed it to ferment slowly.
Compared with the leisure of these few, King Uther is very worried.
War is not just playing house. It says that there are too many things involved. These things all need to be handled by King Uther. Originally, Arthur could help him, but this matter that Arthur did was really ugly.
King Uther must teach him a lesson, otherwise this stupid son may cause bigger problems for him.
So these days, King Uther has become very haggard. The autumn harvest is coming soon. The country cannot send many men to the battlefield at this time, and those men must be paid in full.
Excessive distribution. In an era of low productivity, the significance of the autumn harvest is not just as simple as harvesting. It is related to the life and death of many civilian families and the stability of the country.
The kingdom must not mess around with this. If you are not careful, the whole country will be starved to death, and the entire country will be on the verge of collapse. Therefore, recruiting men must be cautious, and the pay must be generous. After all, many families rely on this salary to spend the entire year.
.
But the problem now is that the country has no money!
The king in the feudal era was definitely not as wealthy as imagined. After all, most of the country's tax revenue was actually in the hands of many nobles, and not as much actually went to the king's hands as imagined. Camelot was pretty good, at least.
It is considered rich, but no matter how rich it is, it cannot withstand the consumption of war. In particular, a lot of the royal family's wealth consists of land, houses, castles, shops, jewelry, art and other real estate, and cash is really not too much.
Besides, the kingdom's annual budget is only so much. Now it's before the autumn harvest. The original budget has been almost spent. New taxes will have to wait until after the autumn harvest. At this juncture, even Camelot can't take it.
I can't afford that much cash.
So King Uther is so worried that he has lost a lot of his hair. Now when King Uther sees the gold and silver furnishings in the palace, he has the urge to sell them. But the problem is not that simple. If he can sell it,
Sold long ago!
Selling off the royal family's property at this time can alleviate the financial dilemma, but the consequences will be more serious. After all, doing so is undoubtedly telling the people that the royal family is already stretched thin!
This is the most serious!
Once this happens, the morale of the people will undoubtedly be severely affected. Not long after the war started, the royal family ran out of money... Is there any more serious blow than this?
King Uther's mind is now filled with money, money, money.
At this moment, a piece of news reached King Uther's ears.
There is a wizard's tomb beneath Camelot!
It is said that the owner of that tomb is a wizard, the most powerful wizard in history - Cornelius Segon! There are countless treasures buried in his tomb, and if those treasures are taken out, they can buy a whole three-year-old man.
