"Haha, that's what you want!" Iskandar nodded in satisfaction, "Knight, hurry up and decide when to set out for the march." As long as you give the order, Yu will sweep the enemy army for you! ”

Despite facing an enemy force that outnumbered him, Iskandar remained in high spirits, as if he were surrounded by the French.

This incomparably strong self-confidence is enough to sweep away all worries and uneasiness!

"Wait a minute, there's a problem."

I stood up and said.

This move immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

"What's the matter, little ghost, are you trying to avoid the war?" Iskandar's gaze was a little displeased, "According to this king, you are clearly not a coward. ”

"No, I don't deny your intentions." I shook my head and said, "I'm just thinking that if the situation is as Bedwell's suggests, the French have gathered a hundred thousand troops, then they could have marched against us from the very beginning, and why should they hold back and act as a deterrent in a secret environment?" ”

When the ...... knights heard this, they also bowed their heads and fell into deep thought.

Yes, an army of 100,000 would be enough to besiege the island of Britain on all sides, even if it needed to cross the sea.

If France wanted to, Britain could even be completely conquered.

However, with such a strong advantage, they only put forward some of the conditions that are beneficial to them, which is really a bit unreasonable.

"This is very simple, Yu has encountered similar situations many times in the past campaign." Iskandar said without hesitation, "The larger the army, the more time it takes to mobilize." ”

“…… What's more, if a coalition is formed by several countries, the distribution of benefits involved is even more complicated. Yu is planning to take advantage of the unstable heart of the opponent's army and rely on surprise attacks to deal a severe blow! ”

"Is that all?" I couldn't help but ask, a little skeptically.

Iskandar's words are true, but they are only general.

On the island of Britain, where the world itself is concerned, common sense may not be applicable.

"There's another very important reason." The girl, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up, "They are afraid of the mysteries of Britain. ”

In this era, Britain has the last magical power in the world.

Dwarves, fairies, dragons, giants......

All the miracles that have been regarded as legends by later generations are real here.

No one has seen them except the people who have lived here for generations.

People are always in awe of the unknown.

Until the mysteries of Britain were completely gone, the French army would never have been able to swagger on the territory of Britain.

What's more, the power of this miracle is completely unpredictable.

When Britain was abandoned by the Roman Empire, the Saxons burned, killed and looted, and the destruction of the country was almost a foregone conclusion.

However, a sword in the stone can completely reverse fate!

The birth of the Knight King not only swept away the decline in the country, but also spread the prestige of Britain throughout the country.

Probably because of the lessons of the Saxons, France only dared to annex the territory of Britain little by little, rather than occupy it by force.

"Damn...... Do we have to rely on mystery to protect ourselves today? Lancelot reluctantly slammed the round table in front of him, "If our land is still in working ......"

"My friend, please don't say any more." The girl shook her head slightly, interrupting Lancelot's words, "The land of Britain cannot be changed if it cannot be grown with crops, otherwise what is there to fear in France?" ”

In any country, the ability of the people to fill their stomachs is the most basic thing.

Although the maiden was impeccable as the king and always thought about the happiness of the people, the shortage of food caused uneasiness to spread in the hearts of the people.

In the end, Mordred was able to succeed in sedition, and it was she who promised the people that she had found a solution to the food problem. So the people, who had suffered from famine for many years, were deceived by lies in desperation and betrayed their king.

If the girl is left with a normal piece of land-

Then presumably, the legend of the knight king that will be passed down to future generations will be a completely different result.

"Hmm...... This was indeed somewhat unexpected by the king. Iskandar said, reaching out to pinch his chin and muttering for a moment, "But what we're going to do hasn't changed, has it?" You don't expect such a thing as mystery to protect you for the rest of your life, do you? ”

Yes, those mysterious powers were not originally controllable by humans.

The existence of the sword in the stone is really an accident of chance, and it is impossible to expect a second miracle at all.

And if this continues, Britain will be slaughtered by France bit by bit like a frog in warm water!

If you want to protect the whole country, you can only rely on your own ability.

But even so, there is another hope -

"If Britain's land productivity is restored at this time, will Britain and France be able to avoid war?"

Looking at the three people in front of me, I asked in a deep voice.

The three of them looked at each other, then turned their gaze to me.

"It should be possible in the short term. As long as Britain was self-sufficient in food, we would not need to rely on French food. I believe that the current France does not have the courage to tear its skin and start a war. The girl thought for a moment and said.

"Well, there's nothing more inspiring than the return of the land to its productive capacity at the moment." Lancelot also nodded repeatedly, "If this happens, even if it just spreads the news throughout the territory, it will be enough to increase the morale of Britain several times." Coupled with the excellent command of our king and His Excellency Iskander, we may not lose even if we go to war. ”

"But the point is, do you have a solution, little ghost?" Iskandar also crossed his arms and turned around, "You don't expect this king to take those people to reclaim the wasteland every day, do you?" ”

“…… Give me some time and I'll give it a try. I took a deep breath and looked straight at the trio in front of me.

"Bedwell, how long will it take for the French army to be fully assembled?"

After a long silence, the girl asked Bedwell beside her.

"My king, according to the report of the spy who infiltrated France, it will take about four days." Bedwell bowed respectfully in reply.

"Then Shirou, give you three days."

The girl nodded, then held out three thin, snow-white fingers to me.

"Well, if you can't find a way after the third day, Yu will lead his troops to launch a surprise attack on France." Iskandar also nodded solemnly, "This is the last chance, once the French army is fully assembled, Britain will definitely lose this battle!" ”

"I see, thank you for trusting me." I nodded, bent down slightly, and said.

"Lord Emiya, my subordinates understand your compassion." Lancelot said, "If I could, my subordinates didn't want the two countries to actually go to war." After all, in that case, it must be the people who will suffer in the end! ”
