Chapter 372, Marriage
The aristocrats are all warlords!
For the middle-level officials who couldn't pass the Mill exam and went to the army as a grass-roots or middle-level officer, the noble children of the Iron Isles and Dorne did not have any dissatisfaction, and even some joy.
Helping the Lord of Light defeat the ancient gods, destroy countless wraiths and ghouls to end the Winter War, and take down Telosi and Mill in quick succession, Arthur has proven how powerful he is.
No one likes losers.
The people of this world worship force and respect the strong, and they are willing to fight with Arthur and then win!
Compared to the satisfaction of the children of the nobility.
Arthur, who slowed down his pace and compromised with feudalism, was very depressed.
But governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, these things must not be rushed, otherwise they will become the public enemy of the world, and they will be besieged by all the aristocratic classes, and they will definitely be ruined and bloody.
At this point, Arthur was finally able to withdraw from Mill's government affairs.
I have free time!
But before Arthur could begin his research on magic and light, he was approached by the military affairs of the Land of Dissension.
"Doctor, didn't I leave the military affairs of the land of conflict to Gawain, Lancelot, and Ranmarok, why did they still come to me?"
Looking at the old doctor, Arthur, who was disturbed, was very depressed.
Dr. Ryan shook his head and said, "Everyone wants to follow His Highness to win the battle!"
"And, Your Highness, you should not be addicted to magic. β
That's the point, right?
Arthur had no choice but to stop developing the Holy Light skill, leaving the humble laboratory, and letting Annie, Vanessa, and Selena take them to the military camp outside the city.
For the arrival of the prince, the children of the nobles who received the order to send troops cheered.
They crave merit!
And Arthur, who has mastered the holy light and magic and is powerful, will definitely lead them to victory, and the land of strife that they have fought down will definitely be able to be divided by virtue of their merits in the future!
Compared with the excited children of the nobility, the soldiers of the musket regiment, artillery regiment, and knight regiment who received basic and elementary education appeared very calm and disciplined.
Because they have been made into real soldiers.
It is our duty to obey orders!
Swore allegiance to Arthur, and was willing to die for him!
Feeling the morale of several troops and the fanatical gaze of the soldiers, Arthur thought to himself, no wonder Dr. Ryan had to lead his army on his own.
"Your Highness, say something to the soldiers. β
Lancelot came over and said.
"Say what?"
Hearing this, Arthur frowned slightly, he was not good at boosting morale, and he didn't know much about pre-war speeches, and his eloquence was even more average.
The most important.
Expedition to the Land of Strife was his first battle in the true sense of the word.
It has a far-reaching impact on the future development of the forces under his command!
So, something must be made clear: "I don't want to say more about the morale boost, because you all know that victory is destined to be ours." β
"That's right!" "Victory is destined to be ours!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately chimed in.
Seeing the cheers of the soldiers interrupting the prince, Gao Wen hurriedly shouted: "Don't be too excited, listen to His Highness!"
Arthur: "I know a lot of people who want war, and they want peace. β
"I am fighting only for peace, and this expedition will change the name of the land of strife, so that there will be no more strife and war!"
"Of course, many of you go to war for meritorious service, wanting to become nobles and lords. β
"But I don't want to divide the nobles for the time being, because I only have Telosi and Mill now, and dividing them will cause me to lose power, so I can only compensate you for this expedition to the land of strife with satisfactory wealth. β
"Are you going to leave me because of this?"
Hearing the prince's words, Chi Guoguo explained his refusal to let go of power, and the children of the nobles who had newly joined the army all looked at each other, and they were silent for a while, considering the gains and losses.
"No!"
The soldier who was a student of the New Free Folk immediately gave the prince an answer.
Freedom, family members have a rich life, can look forward to a better future, learn knowledge, accept the idea of serving the country and the people loyally, and choose to join the army, they obey all the orders of the prince, and know better what they are doing and what they should do!
"We are willing to fight for Your Highness!"
"Good. β
None of the noble children from the Iron Isles and Dorne were able to inherit the family business, and they chose to serve the prince in order to gain a share of the glory of their ancestors.
Arthur was well aware that they were not happy with what he was saying.
However, he really didn't want to divide the nobles, and he had to change the feudal system of this world step by step.
In the future, we must tell them that we will not divide the heroes.
"I will never do you any wrong. β
After listening to Arthur's words about Gawain, Lancelot, Annie, and Selena, they felt inexplicable.
At the end of his speech, Arthur asked Gawain, "How is the logistics?"
Gawain: "We prepared food for three months. β
Seeing that those noble children were thinking a lot, Gianna, who was also from a noble family, was worried, and couldn't help but disturb the prince to ask about business: "Your Highness, is your speech a little demoralizing?"
"Demoralizing?"
Arthur shook his head helplessly and said, "No, these things must be made clear. β
"The Land of Strife is really too small. Ambrosius said, "Your Highness, after taking the Land of Discord, I think we can attack Reece directly." β
Arthur smiled bitterly: "Don't be in such a hurry, this matter will wait until the place of strife is completely controlled." β
"Your Highness, these things should also be made clear. Ambrosius said.
Arthur was a little speechless: "......"
Moreover, after the old wizard mentioned this, he also felt that directly destroying the free trade city-state would be more conducive to completely controlling his own territory.
But Rees is an island city-state, and in order to attack, a navy must be dispatched.
Ten sail battleships make up a navy that is strong enough to crisscross the seven seas, but there are not enough of them.
"Then you..."
"Roar~"
Just as he was about to ask the old wizard for his opinion, a dragon shadow suddenly flew through the sky and let out a deafening roar.
"Is it Drogon?"
Having ridden many times and using dragon blood to strengthen his own bloodline, Arthur recognized the black dragon when he looked up, "Why is it here?"
Puzzled, he immediately sensed the black dragon with his spiritual power, and tried to call it down to the open space next to it.
"Is it that Queen Daenerys and His Majesty Robert have split the winner?" Anne guessed.
Ambrosius shook his head: "There is no one on the dragon's back." β
Gianna with a complicated expression looked at the prince and said cautiously, "Could it be... Is it His Majesty Robert who has returned?"
"What remorse?" Vanessa asked in a whisper for some unknown reason.
Selena: "His Majesty Robert promised to win without harming Queen Daenerys. β
Arthur had already walked up to the descending dragon.
Didn't put on the saddle.
It was Drogen who flew over on his own.
Daenerys is in King's Landing, a sea away from Mill, and even if the black dragon forages in the sea, it will not fly so far to Mill.
"Is there something going on over there in King's Landing?"
"Or... Daenerys had an accident......"
Arthur, who frowned, pondered for a moment, then climbed on the back of the dragon lying in front of him, and said to everyone: "I will go to King's Landing, you will go to the land of strife as originally planned, and I will bring Drogen and Rego to support you as soon as possible." β
Hearing the words of the prince, they will be assisted by the dragon, and the children of the nobles who are depressed for their speech suddenly understand that victory is really within reach for them!
Ambrosius, Gawain, Lancelot, and others did not object either.
Anne, Gianna and Vanessa, who didn't have to command the soldiers, immediately climbed onto the dragon's back, and LeBlan, who had never ridden a dragon, couldn't resist her curiosity and teleported to the prince's back.
"Your Highness, come back as soon as possible. The old wizard didn't bother to say anything, Gawain and Lancelot glanced at each other, turned around and continued to arrange the expedition.
Fly on Drogon.
The howling wind blew in his face, and in an instant flew out of Mill, far from the land of Essos, and appeared on the surface of the Narrow Sea.
With Arthur's Light to buff Drogon's power, the dragon flies faster.
The night passed.
With the help of the rising sun, Arthur on the back of the dragon soon spotted the flying bronze dragon Rego.
It is hovering above the warship painted with a three-headed dragon.
Arthur looked at the female mage who could teleport, "LeBlanc, can you take us to that ship?"
"I can. β
Without waiting for the newly joined female mage to answer, Gianna smiled and said, and immediately cast a spell, the dazzling magic light flickered, and everyone on the dragon's back suddenly appeared on the deck of the dragon sail warship with a strong sense of dizziness.
"Gott~"
After retching twice, Arthur, who has a strong physique, shook his head and recovered.
Gianna, who cast the spell, couldn't stand steadily, Vanessa fainted even more, and the top-heavy LeBlanc rubbed her head and said, "The sequelae of this teleportation technique are so strong. β
"His Highness Arthur?"
Sensing the fluctuations of magic, he went up to the deck to see Arthur, and Malvin, who thought that an uninvited guest had arrived, suddenly relaxed, and then grabbed the queen's fiancΓ© and ran into the cabin.
"Your Highness, Her Majesty has been cursed, go and see if you can remove it with holy light!"
"What?"
Before he could turn around, Arthur asked Marwyn to pull him to the cabin.
Looking at Daenerys who was unconscious, he endured the dizziness that had not completely subsided, and raised his hand to release the holy light to check on his fiancΓ©e.
"Huh?"
"Is it a curse?!"
As soon as the holy light came out, he immediately discovered that Daenerys had a familiar and strange energy in her body.
But in the face of the strong there is no rival to pure energy.
The curse was purified by the light in an instant!
The pale golden light dissipated, and Marvin immediately asked, "How is Her Majesty, Arthur?"
Arthur: "The curse has been dispelled, Daenerys is fine, but... How could she have fallen under the curse?"
Marvin said: "It was the assassin who scratched His Majesty with a quenched dagger, I didn't expect that the dagger would have a strange curse in addition to quenching poison." β
"Is it the Faceless Assassin?" asked Arthur with a sinking expression.
Tyrion said, "I don't know, he ran away." β
"Well, His Highness Arthur... How do you know that Your Majesty is in a cursed coma?" Varys, behind the little demon, stood up and asked in confusion.
"Drogen's sudden flight to Mill and the absence of people on my back made me feel that something was wrong. Arthur said, "I originally wanted to go to King's Landing to have a look, but I didn't expect to meet you at sea, and now... Civil war... Is it over?"
Tyrion sighed, "I'm afraid it's over." β
"No, we still have a chance. Marvin looked at the prince and said.
Arthur shook his head: "I'm not going to fight for the Iron Throne." β
Marwyn said with great seriousness: "Your Highness, please think about Queen Daenerys and your children!"
Arthur looked at the Chief of Intelligence, "As you all know, I've taken down Telosi and Mill. β
"I'm ready to go out into the Conflicted Lands, and with my strength, and the current military strength of Telosi and Mill, it will not be a problem to defeat the remaining seven free trade city-states. β
"Why should I turn against my father and fight against the brothers Ryan and Varian?"
"Free trade city-states, after all, are not as good as Westeros. Malwyn shook his head and sighed.
Because of the sound of everyone talking in the cabin, Daenerys, who had cursed the purification, woke up slowly, and then looked at the strange smallpox suspiciously: "Where am I?"
"Your Majesty, you are awake!" replied Missandei at once with joy, "we are at sea. β
Seeing this, Malwyn, Tyrion, Jorah and others also immediately turned their attention to the queen.
"Arthur, why are you here?" Seeing her dusty fiancΓ©, the dragon queen's thoughtful face frowned slightly.
"I've already lost the Iron Throne?"
Hearing this, Arthur sat down next to the Dragon Queen, instilled holy light to help her recover, and then said with a wry smile: "Listen to your Prime Minister, it seems that you have lost the Iron Throne. β
Tyrion's face was full of depression: "Your Majesty, because you suddenly fell unconscious, the riots in King's Landing... We can't suppress it. β
Marvin said, "Your Majesty, we can still regroup and go back." β
Varys said, "Your Majesty, before I got on the ship and left King's Landing, I received news from the laughing birds...... Jon and the forces commanded by the Grey Bug... Annihilated by Robert, Ryan, and Varian. β
"Jon and the Grey Bug are captured. β
Marwyn: "Your Majesty, if you can convince Your Highness, the Iron Throne is still yours." β
"Be quiet for a moment. β
The Prime Minister, the University Scholar and the Intelligence Chief, you say a word, and Daenerys, who has just woken up, only feels a head and two big when she hears these messages.
The queen spoke, and Marwyn, Tyrion, and Varys obediently shut their mouths.
After a while, Daenerys, who had been restored with the help of the Holy Light, came to her senses, thanked her fiancΓ©, and looked at her ministers and asked in a deep voice, "Jon and the Grey Bug's army has not withdrawn to King's Landing?"
Tyrion: "No. β
"You also didn't suppress the riots in the city?"
Marwyn sighed, "Your Majesty, as soon as you fell unconscious, the archbishop of the Church of the Seven Gods, Pete, was killed in front of the gate of the Red Keep, and then the mob rushed into the Red Keep like crazy. β
"Even if we kill them all, we won't be able to defend King's Landing. β
"So, I lost the Iron Throne for some reason......"
Daenerys smiled wryly with a complicated face.
After thinking about it, Arthur took her hand and said, "You still have me." β
Daenerys just shook her head and didn't say anything in response.
Tyrion pondered for a moment, and then said with some trepidation: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have brought my brother aboard. β
"I think we need Jaime Lannister. β
Hearing that the monarch killer, who had been locked up and had not been executed, was actually taken on board by the prime minister, Daenerys suddenly frowned and looked very displeased.
Arthur: "That's just right, I need a great commander to attack the lands of discord. β
"Dani, it doesn't matter if you lose the Iron Throne, we will take the nine free trade city-states and even the whole of Essos. β
...... To be continued......
