The Holy War between England and Prussia Chapter 24: The Story of the Sword in the Stone.3

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Dublin, a city guarded by heavy troops.  The extremely tall city walls, the vertical arrow towers, and the ferocious iron swords exposed between the battlements intimidate anyone who dares to have a wrong idea about this city.

    Although the sky is also covered with clouds, the streets are brightly lit.  The orange firelight illuminated the darkness of the entire city, and the bustle of people made the streets full of life and excitement.

    The street on the east side is a very popular commercial street There are products from all over the world, many varieties, exquisite and small.  But the price is relatively expensive, so the people who come to this street are usually the Pulun nobles. Only they can have some spare money to spend here.  Sometimes civilians would come, but it was usually during the New Year or major festivals, such as the anniversary of the founding of King Purun City in a certain year.

    ¡°This place is not like London where everyone is in danger and the streets are empty, nor is it like those fugitives who were burned, killed, looted and lost hope by the invaders, so hopeless so scary.

    Soldiers patrolling the streets all the time, they wear heavy armor, hold spears and giant shields, and wear white cloaks with a cross engraved on them and three rose vines entwined with them.  The royal family of King Pulun City is directly affiliated with the Royal Guards - Shalia Heavy Army.  They inherited the blood of the Spartans and became even more elite after the earth-shattering bloody battle of Pulun!

    In order to reward the first batch of loyal warriors who surrendered to themselves and loyal to Pu Lun even to the death.  The king of Pulun, Drak.d. Xia, not only promoted their leader to be his first foreign guardian knight, but also gave the entire city of Pulun exquisite plate armor and iron spears that only the General Guards and the October Legion could possess.  , and also promoted their status to the Royal Guards directly under the royal family.  It is the third largest legion under the General Guards and the October Legion.

    Shalia was very grateful to Char for his generous reward, but they had no money (the Paladins were quite harsh on their own people, even to the point of harshness.) They could not express any gratitude to Char.  Therefore, they had no choice but to use their bodies and steel-like willpower to patrol day and night, maintaining the safety and order of the entire Dublin to repay Char.

    There are ten thousand sickle soldiers stationed on the city wall, and their armor is not as sophisticated as other troops.  With only a set of mail outside and a piece of cloth inside, their defenses are extremely weak, but the weapons in their hands are extremely sharp. The weapons made of unified fine iron are extremely luxurious. The cost of tens of thousands of fine iron weapons almost put the Arc Light Knight on the spot.  Crying, but fortunately, as the reputation of King Pulun City grows, more and more goods and materials from all over the world are gathered, and various taxes can get good benefits.  Moreover, the business of auctioning weapons and armor in King Pulun City is also extremely prosperous. Daily income has gradually increased, and the national treasury has also been rapidly enriched.

    So after the Arc Knight stared at the blacksmith shop owner with an almost murderous look, he watched helplessly as he "robbed" nearly 100,000 gold coins from him.  The only reason that prevented him from sending people to assassinate the blacksmith boss was because of what was mentioned above. Pullun was indeed developing rapidly, and various funds were increasing rapidly in a way that was almost visible to the naked eye.

    With these powerful soldiers guarding it, people on the streets never worry about any accidents.  Even when a war broke out in King Purun City, they were still able to live according to their daily schedule. They lived happily in the iron-walled defensive city built by Char.

    Crack!  A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky above Dublin, and pale white light illuminated the inner walls of Dublin Castle.  At a certain window on the bleak city wall illuminated by lightning, a blond girl wearing a thin nightgown was watching everything happening on the street with her big flashing emerald eyes

    With her slender white fingers gently touching her collarbone, and her brows relaxed because of comfort, the girl looked at the people coming and going on the street and showed a bright smile.

    CrunchXia Ya pushed the door open from outside the house and entered.

    "Artoriadid something happen that made you happy?" The first thing you saw when you entered the house was the girl's happy smile because of her satisfaction.  Xia Ya didn't know why she showed such rare tenderness.  However, this did not prevent his originally heavy heart from immediately relaxing

    The rain outside the window gradually increased.

    But no matter how heavy the rain is, the streets of Pulun King City are always so lively and bustling.

    "Char is really amazing. He was able to build such a huge kingdom that made the people happy" Arturia turned around and said to Char with a smile.

    Char scratched his head for no apparent reason. It seemed that Artoria had become a different person after taking off her military uniform.

    "What are you talking about? As aIt is natural for a famous king to make his people happy and satisfied while he is strong.  Otherwise, he is just a tyrant who tortures his subjects just to satisfy his own desires.  "Xia dismissed several guards who followed him, then walked to her side, took off the cloak from his back and put it on Artoria's body.

    "The weather is still cold now, so be careful."

    After rubbing the other person's blond head, Xia Ya looked at the other person's dissatisfied expression with great satisfaction

    "Before that, would you please be careful not to rub other people's heads? Xia Ya."

    Arturia said this dissatisfiedly, but her hands unconsciously tightened the warm cloak wrapped around her body.  Both Char and Artoria are the kind of people who are not very good at talking. Perhaps the only way to express their truest thoughts is through actions

    Char selectively forgot the second half of Artoria's words.  He turned to look out the window and realized that what Artoria had just seen was the almost daily hustle and bustle on the street.  In that bustling street, lit by torches like daylight, it is indeed the most lively and financially developed area in Dublin. The people coming and going are holding the rewards of their daily labor and leading their own way.  The family enjoys a happy and happy paradise there.

    There is no disease, no war, no oppressive taxes and nobility persecution, so everyone is willing to enjoy everything in front of them

    Whether it¡¯s the civilians gathering with their families, the frowning nobles who don¡¯t object to being among them, or the soldiers who are busy patrolling and maintaining law and order.  Regardless of high or low, regardless of gender, age or child, they are all their subjects.  People who worship themselves, are loyal to themselves, and are proud of their country under the banner of the Rose of Glory.

    "Indeed, it is a very beautiful picture." Xia Ya narrowed her eyes and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

    "Yeah." Artoria nodded in agreement.

    Char lowered his head and looked at Artoria, feeling even happier looking at her smile.

    However, Char soon discovered that there seemed to be a trace of sadness and anxiety hidden under Artoria's smile?

    "Are you worried?"

    Xia Ya closed the window, blocking the rain outside the window on the other side.

    Arturia nodded somewhat disappointedly.  Indeed, she had been feeling very uneasy ever since she heard that the enemy troops had made a surprise attack on London.

    "Don't worry, I have summoned the leaders of all the ethnic groups on the island of Ireland overnight. It will take up to four days. In four days, Ireland will be able to form a huge army." Charia gently pressed Artoria's thin shoulders and said comfortingly.

    Arturia slowly raised her head and looked at Char: "The Irish armywhy?"

    Artoria still cannot understand why Char wants to form an Irish army.  Because in her eyes, Char, with his tens of thousands of troops, was almost invincible to the entire British Isles.  Although I still don¡¯t know how powerful the rumored strongest October Legion is, the fact that the Pulun Arrow Rain Array could destroy more than 10,000 enemies with only thirty-two people on its own was already very surprising to Artoria.  .

    That overwhelming black curtain of death that obscured the sun's radiance No army could survive such a devastating blow.

    Xia Ya shook his head slightly. He didn't want to form a foreign army unless he had to.  After all, no matter what, Xia Ya has always maintained a certain degree of wariness towards those foreigners.

    "Spain and Portugal, the two watchdogs of the French Empire, have been intercepting caravans on several commercial trade routes in Dublin recently, destroying Dublin's economic lifeline. Although I have sent part of the fleet to destroy them  They are also worried that my fleet will not be able to successfully destroy them against the two navies that have experienced several wars."

    The candlelight flickered in the bedroom made of stone walls, making Xia Ya¡¯s handsome face flicker in and out

    Listening to Char's words, Arturia understood what the other party was worried about.

    "And it's not just the two fleets. The French army that didn't know when it landed also made me very hesitant, for fear that if they landed on the island of Ireland and besieged Dublin on my way to rescue I'm afraid even if they don't  Berlin was able to survive, but the economy and military must have suffered a very big blow. I thought that we could force 150,000 militiamen to invade the Royal City of Pullen, but now we face 100,000or even more than 100,000 French regulars.  Legion, without the help of allies, even I will definitely" Xia shook his head and sighed.

      Behind the glory is always full of hardships. It seems that the Pulun Legion is famous all over the world and is extremely noble, but in fact, both Char and the Twelve Guardian Knights hate this honor and even hate it.

    "Is that why Char wants to form a new legion?"

    "It's not about formation but recruitment. Although the Irish have been oppressed by the English for hundreds of years, their fighting spirit is still fierce. Their bodies are strong and good at running over long distances. This is a dream come true for me who likes to master speed battles the most.  The opportunity to come down. In addition, the Irish have been very familiar with the terrain of the island of Ireland for hundreds of years. As long as I provide them with enough high-quality weapons and armor, even if there are another thirty French troops, I can send them all to heaven in one go!  King Pulun will never be afraid of war, because victory will always belong to us!"

    Everything Xia Ya said is true.  With a thousand-year history of the world, fighting on the local territory is extremely beneficial to any nation, especially those with large terrain and large areas.  Of course, although the island of Ireland is not as huge as ZG to the point where even an empire would feel ridiculous, the terrain is extremely dangerous, with mostly plains and dense forests, which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare.

    During the period of melee hundreds of years ago, before William the Conqueror arrived, the Irish almost unified the entire British Isles several times.  Unfortunately, every time, the troops had to withdraw in the end because supplies could not keep up and equipment was seriously damaged.  By the time William the Conqueror came, although the Irish were well prepared, facing the huge gap in equipment brought by the conqueror and the extremely powerful heavy cavalry (horse sergeant level), the Irish were defeated miserably.  end.

    But even so, the Irish took advantage of the difficult terrain and fought on the mainland, and fought with England and Scotland for more than three hundred years before they were finally conquered by the talented King Uther.

    So Char has some trust in the Irish, and believes that as long as he provides them with some equipment, he will no longer have to worry about the problem of insufficient soldiers.  Of course, Char didn't think about using the Irish as cannon fodder, but he thought that instead of the elite being frustrated, it would be better to let the ordinary soldiers consume a large amount of the enemy's strength and then use the elite to break through in one fell swoop!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­Well, Char is using the Irish as cannon fodder, although he himself does not think so.

    Arturia listened to Char's words very carefully, and admired Char's analysis and understanding very much.  At least, in this era, there are very few people who can observe war based on group strength and terrain factors. Most people still judge a war mainly based on outstanding personal abilities, and others are secondary.

    "Xia Yais really amazing. If possible, I would also like to be able to bring prosperity and peace to my country like Xia Ya"

    Char was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Artoria to suddenly say such words.

    However, although this sentence made Char a little proud, he did not want Artoria to really become the king of a country.  Because Char knew Arturia's upright personality very well, and her personality that once she devoted herself to something, she could never look back.  The struggle in the palace is definitely not something Artoria can adapt to, and the unspoken rules set by those stupid English nobles are definitely not acceptable to Artoria.

    Although Char knew very well that if he wanted Pulun to cooperate perfectly with Great Britain or even secretly annex it, the best way was for Artoria to become the king of unifying England However, using someone he likes or even admires to achieve his goal can only  Just a rat.  A person who only knows how to use but does not know how to give and like is nothing more than a cold-blooded tyrant, even if he is in a high position.

    Thinking of this, when Charia looked at Artoria's clean and beautiful face again, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and touched her soft face gently.
