Chapter 163: The Crusader Army

“…… Then you can accompany me for morning exercises in the future. Kayilu snorted.

"Okay, okay." When Xia Di was thinking about whether to really put on this woman's shoes, he suddenly remembered another thing, "By the way, what did you say was the name of the lord of Hampshire that you were going to find this time?" What does it have to do with you? ”

Hearing Xia Di's words, Kayilu tilted her head, which seemed a little strange.

"I didn't tell you before?"

"I haven't heard of you at all."

"His name is Al. Tous, lord of Hampshire. and one of the kings. "You should know what a king is, right?" ”

"Yes." Xia Di nodded.

Kings.

Although the name bears the word king, it is actually the title of a lord who has acquired a large territory and is exempt from the power to pay taxes to the court at the cost of defending the king.

Britain's political system is similar to the feudal system of the Far East, these kings are the descendants of generals who made great contributions to the founding monarch a hundred years ago, and their titles and territories were inherited at that time, hence the British Imperial Union, also known as the United Kingdom of Britain.

In short, today's Britain is a union of kings and lords, and the king elects a unique king who rules the country, the equivalent of the Roman emperor.

"Huh? Tous? Xia Di touched his chin, as if he had thought of something, "I always feel that I have heard this name somewhere......"

"If you think too much, if it was half a year ago, you might still hear someone talking about it on the street, but now it's hard to hear anyone talking about him."

"Why?"

"After all, he's not a councillor anymore." Kayilu pursed her lips, "The members of the British Parliament are all lords from all over the country, including my father and Tous, a total of one hundred and twelve members. After the death of King Yuser half a year ago, the council was dissolved, and unless it was a rebellious lord, there was hardly anyone in the royal capital who would discuss other regional lords. ”

“…… Wait, you mean to say, there's no parliament now? Xia Di was a little surprised.

He had the impression that Parliament was one of the important institutions of Britain, and that in the absence of a ruler as powerful as King Arthur, the British political system would be completely paralyzed if it had not even been there.

No matter how capable Merlin was, it would be impossible to stop Britain from moving towards a total division.

"Of course the council is still there, but it was reconstituted after it was dissolved." "The councillors have changed completely, with the exception of four or five lords in the vicinity of Lentinion, most of the current councillors are minor nobles living in the royal capital, as well as the Knights of the Round Table who serve on a temporary basis. ”

"Then this court can still control the whole country?" Xia Di asked.

"Do you need to ask? Of course not. Otherwise, what else do you want the king to choose? Kayilu sighed, "Half a year ago, after the death of King Uther, there were two meetings in the country, and there was a lot of quarrel at that time, and Master Merlin regarded himself as an overseer and refused to directly interfere with the council, and as a result, after the council erupted into an uncommendable problem, most of the lords resigned as councillors and went back to the territory, including my father, the council could not be opened, of course, it was automatically dissolved. After that, I don't know who proposed it, the council was reorganized, probably because it would cause displeasure among the lords who resigned from the council, and Master Merlin immediately issued a notice of the king's election...... Well, but it's just grapevine. ”

"Oh......"

It's amazing.

After arguing like this, the country can still remain stable. Could this also be the alleged flaw in the script in the bug report......

Xia Di scratched his head.

After that, the two chatted about what Hampshire had to eat and where they were going to stay for the night, and soon the carriage arrived at its destination.

No, to be precise, I was stopped when I was about to reach my destination.

"What's going on with you guys?" Outside the carriage, the groom's surprised voice was heard.

Kayilu and Xia Di glanced at each other, opened the curtain, and looked out.

In front of the carriage, several armed British soldiers were standing.

"We are the members of the national thief crusade army, who are you? What are you doing here? One of them went up and asked.

Crusade against the thieves...... Army? What the hell is this name?

Xia Di frowned in confusion.

Xia Di knew that there were four legions in Britain, namely the British Infantry Regiment, the Lower Knights, the Regular Knights, and the Knights of the Round Table.

But the names of the people in front of him just now did not belong to any of these four categories, which made Xia Di wonder if he should have met a fake soldier?

Xia Di forcibly suppressed his doubts and looked behind them, which completely startled him.

Not far from the huge teleportation array formed by the four 10-meter-long stone pillars that reached the sky, there was a group of people who were pressed by black.

They numbered about three or four hundred men, dressed in silver helmets and iron armor, and swords at their waists, all armed, and looked imposing.

Xia Di immediately understood that they probably wanted to use the teleportation array to go somewhere.

But there is another thing that surprises Xia Di the most, and that is...... Among the soldiers, under the banner of the Red Dragon Army, there is a girl with a familiar face.

Xia Di hurriedly closed the door curtain.

Damn! How did I meet again!

What can I do? She knows me! Impossible, how could it be so coincidental!?

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Xia Di's strange behavior, Kayilu asked in confusion.

"I have a stomachache...... Uh-no, I have a headache and brain fever, cough cough, maybe it's a cold. Xia Di took out a handkerchief from the package and tied it like a mask to cover his mouth.

"Huh? But weren't you okay just now? ”

"The human body is very mysterious, I can't say for sure, oh cough cough."

Xia Di pretended to cough a few times, and seeing that Kayilu was still suspicious, he added, "I'm fine, you...... Hurry up and find out what's wrong. ”

Kayilu squinted at Xia Di for a few seconds, nodded, and left the carriage.

"It's all said, I'm here to carry guests, and I don't know anything else...... Ah, guest, you're just in time, these lords haven't let me drive there, or we'll just get off here, right? When the groom saw Kayilu, he didn't want to get involved.

"It's not down, isn't there still a few hundred meters? You're down again. Kayiru glared at him angrily, then looked at the soldier in front of him, "Who are you?" Why stop the car? ”

"We are the members of the national thief crusade army, and there is a portal ahead, please take a detour."

"Go around the head! I'm here to use the portal! Where do you want us to go around? Kayilu said angrily, "Also, I haven't heard of your army?" Are you private? (To be continued......)
