Chapter 283: Cretan Development Strategy

Li Ji spoke: "Nero... If we are going to march towards the Eastern Roman Empire anyway, you should hear that Constantinople has become a thorn in the side of the barbarians, and is attacking it in droves, and we need to think about the people of Rome. ”

"—find a way back for them."

Aetius agreed: "Your Majesty, what Li said is very right, we will not hesitate to follow you until the last moment, but ordinary people should not follow you to that hellish place." ”

Nero understood their thoughts very well, and replied excitedly: "I understand the meaning of the performer and the three, everyone loves the people of Rome so much, how can Yu live up to your expectations, well, well, first find a place for the people of Rome where they can develop with peace of mind and leave the Roman fire!" ”

They took out their maps, sighed at the vast Roman Empire, which once had the Mediterranean Sea as an inland lake, and began a discussion.

"The most suitable island for the Romans should be, even the barbarians should not want to attack it easily."

"Rhode Island? Or the island of Malta? Well, both places were fortified for hundreds of years under enemy attack in the future, and the biggest flaw was that they were too small to be placed. ”

So after discussion, they unanimously set the goal of Crete in the south of the Balkan Peninsula, the crown of the Aegean Sea, the place where the ancient Minoan dynasty ruled, with a labyrinth, the legend of the Minotaur, and felt that it should be settled there, it would not be too difficult, not too far, suitable for resisting enemy attacks, and rich in resources to counterattack at any time.

So before they set off for Constantinople again, they will start a strategy for the development of Crete.

……

A week later, Crete.

After a fierce battle.

Around the battlefield, half of the forest was leveled, several hills were bulldozed, and the ground was full of dying minotaurs.

Li Ji stood there fluttering in white clothes, with no wounds on his body at all.

He sighed, it seems that this second peculiarity is that he will not encounter the two Heroic Spirits of Asterius and Yuri Ellie, as according to the original story, the two Heroic Spirits will appear nearby.

He saw Nero on the other side clean up the Chimera's lair on the island, and captured several young Chimeras and used them as means of transportation, returning with their heads held high.

Narsis arrived on the shore with two hundred Romans who had been transferred from Salona to the shore, where they would establish villages, clear farmland, and build fortresses to settle down.

Aetius and Belisarius traveled to the other side of the island.

The history of settlement in Crete can be traced back to the time of the gods, and after thousands of years, it is still the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Therefore, the two Heroic Spirits plan to control the surrounding towns and villages at the same time and manage them in a unified manner.

……

Crete's development strategy is progressing in an orderly manner.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand Romans arrived one after another, and a small town was built on the west coast of the island, and the entire island of Crete was easily unified, and it flourished under the control of three Roman heroes, showing rare signs of prosperity.

On this day, Li Ji suddenly received a call from Matthew.

"Senpai, do you hear, I'm in the Alps, it's a little cold here..."

"I think the seniors want to know why they can't contact us these days. In fact, the atmospheric magic of this era is too strong, hindering the normal transmission of information, but fortunately, Miss Morgan asked me to set up a temporary magic circle in the Alps, and if the master didn't go too far, he could already have a short conversation. ”

"Ahh Matthew sneezed as he spoke.

Li Ji felt a little distressed when he thought that his junior sister had to wear so little, and she came to the cold Alps, "Are you okay?" ”

"Senpai, Fufu's hair touched my nose in front, and I'm in good health, and I'm wearing warm winter clothes, so it's okay..."The girl quickly explained, continuing to explain their experiences after arriving at the second anomalous point—

"At the beginning of the second peculiarity, Miss Morgan, who once again intended to take Artoria to England for her honeymoon, said that even at the beginning of the first century, when the Celts were not yet civilized, it was the most authentic Britain of this era that was still in high spirits."

"Not only that, but Miss Morgan was even more excited to see that she was about to enter the age of King Arthur, so that she would spend her honeymoon with her own Artoria in the era of memory."

"Unfortunately... The predecessors should have noticed that the barrier guarding the sky over the European continent was precisely the territory of the Roman Empire at its peak, and the island of Britain was bordered by Hadrian's Wall, isolating Scotland in the north, Ireland and Wales in the west, making the legend of King Arthur completely impossible, so the honeymoon was meaningless. ”

Li Ji chuckled, "Hmm... Perhaps, when we return to Chaldea, if Artoria does not object, we should help her, fulfill her desire to be alone with Artoria, and even summon their rebel Mordred, and the family will be reunited..."

Li Ji felt that Morgan was a little pitiful, as a witch, he couldn't even achieve such a small wish again and again, should he, as a master, care about the mental health of the servant and do what he could?

Still not forgetting his mission, he asked bluntly, "But—before that, what will happen to you next?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Matthew said earnestly, "Then Miss Artoria decided that Morgan could not be allowed to wander freely, and took over the dominance strongly, and then because we could not contact the master, we had to try to find our own way. ”
