I'm sorry.,The update of the past few days has been so unstable.,It's been interrupted two days ago.。 But don't worry, I don't know what will happen to this book in the future, but I will definitely not be a eunuch now, after all, it has only been signed for a long time, and I have just received the contract I sent back.
I'm sorry to say here, I'll make up for the missing update a few days ago.
Here, ask for recommended favorites and clicks.
With the help of Merlin and Charles, Artoria's rebels led by Ryan turned to ashes without resistance, and their struggles only added additional damage to the already devastated Kingdom of Great Britain, making it even weaker, and then they could only stir up a small wave and disappear into the long river of history.
But no matter how prepared Artoria and Merlin are, the destruction of the kingdom caused by war will never be avoidable, especially this kind of rebellion, even if you extinguish the rebellion, it will make the people of the kingdom doubt your ability and lose confidence in the future of the kingdom.
Therefore, even though Ryan and his group of nobles have been extinguished by them, Artoria and Merlin are full of anger towards Ryans, and if it weren't for Artoria's adherence to knightly morality in her heart, she would have been eager to send someone to dig up Ryan's decapitated corpse and hang it and whip it.
It's a pity that the bottom line in her heart makes it impossible for her to do so, so she can only grit her teeth and complain about Ryans, but she is busy trying to heel the damage caused by the war to the kingdom.
At this time, Charles is idle, and of course he is not really without things. In order not to attract Merlin's attention, he had to hide part of his strength. What's more, by the time Artoria pulled out the sword in the stone and became King Arthur of Great Britain, most of his plans had already been completed, and all he needed to do was wait for time to bring him news of the harvest.
With the help of the Saxons, who relied on the magic weapons he created by imitating the blood sacrifice ritual, Sam already had more than 500 demon soldiers under his command, and they relied on the battlefield to kill the enemy, while providing Charles with a lot of experience, those inferior magic weapons also fed back a part of the enemy's power to them, while enhancing their strength, but also indulging in the pleasure of increasing their strength.
Of course, with their strength, they couldn't detect it at all, and while receiving the power transmitted to them by the magic weapon, their own souls were also entangled in a pitch-black aura, and under the slow erosion, their souls were already mottled.
The rise of the Saxons has become a matter of great importance to the kingdoms of the entire European continent, but unfortunately, as mentioned above, they did not dare to exterminate the Saxons.
For these kingdoms, the benefits of exterminating a nomadic people are far less than the amount of material and manpower they expend on them, especially since this people is powerful and does not have a long eye to harass them.
This drove them to know in their hearts that the Saxons, who were growing rapidly, were about to become another enemy, but they did not do anything, and were waiting for the other kingdoms to do it first, so that they could effortlessly watch a future struggle be snuffed out, and they could secretly enjoy the great loss of the other party in order to exterminate this nation.
It's a pity that everyone is not stupid, and they don't want to be this tragic person by themselves, which leads to the fact that everyone wants to eliminate this hidden scourge around them, but everyone is unwilling to do it, and the whole situation falls into a strange calm.
Only the Saxons galloped freely across the European continent, spreading the murderous fame of Charles as Snoald throughout Europe, bringing the flames of war to every land they set foot on.
All this until the royal city of the Burgundians was broken by the Saxons, and the royal family of Burgundy was taken captive by the Saxons, and it was rumored that the royal family members of Burgundy and some ordinary people who were chosen by the Saxons were about to be sacrificed by the Saxons as sacrifices in their blood sacrifice rituals.
The blood ritual performed by the Saxons to their god of the devil is now a thunderous reputation on the continent, certainly of that notorious reputation.
The cruel and bloody behavior of the Saxons in the blood sacrifice ceremony can be said to have been able to stop the night on the European continent, and even Charles, as the god they believe, was frightened by the bloody and completely inhumane scene when he watched them perform the sacrifice for the first time, but since Charles had been prepared to be a devil, he slowly accepted this scene, but he never saw it again.
After all, that scene is not beautiful in any way, and Charles can only go to the point of ignoring it, as for letting him appreciate and even indulge in it like those sadists, this sorry he really can't do it.
Pulling away from the above, we said that the Saxons attacked the royal city of the Burgundians, and when the most basic army of the kingdom and the control of the royal family were destroyed, the Kingdom of Burgundy can already be said to have been destroyed.
Naturally, this major event would not be ignored by those in power in the kingdom who had already attached great importance to the rise of the Saxons, and only then did they realize that the Saxons, who were originally only able to bully the island across the coast, had grown to this point in just five years, which was far more than they expected.
This can no longer talk about any potential hidden dangers, but the Saxons have already stood in front of them and shown them the muscles of their arms, and the Saxons have the strength to participate in the game of continental competition.
This made all the kingdoms on the continent very serious, and they all began to think about the exact action of destroying the Saxons, instead of thinking about it in their hearts and not paying any attention to how to act, as before.
However, the current situation on the continent determines that these kingdoms cannot really take action. The Frankish kingdom that had risen in Gaul was fully established, and after getting rid of the early days of relying on the help of the Burgundians, Clovis had now built his kingdom into a kingdom that was completely comparable to that of the Eastern Roman Empire.
However, the Frankish kingdom was bordered to the south by the Goths, and there were many Germanic sub-ethnic groups around it, and these nomads also involved most of the kingdom's energy.
And even if the Visigothic kingdom in the south of the Frankish kingdom has completely degenerated, and the high-level of the kingdom has been corrupted into the bones by a stable and prosperous life, but as the Western Roman Empire, which can be said to be the hegemon of the European continent at that time, they have the strength in their hands so that the surrounding countries dare not underestimate anything.
The Eastern Roman Empire, even under the leadership of Justinian, was smashing his ambition to restore the former glory of the Roman Empire with his famous general Belisarius, but the Empire's financial constraints made it difficult for his army, and the rebellion of the Vandals and the Goths and other peoples in the territory also kept him busy.
Not to mention the existence of the Persian Empire in the east of the Eastern Roman Empire, the long-cherished enemy of this empire has diverted most of the empire's attention, even when Justinian first came to power, Belisarius declared war on the Persian Empire with a small number of poor troops, and won what can be said to be a subversive victory, but because the situation in Justinian's newly ascended empire was still unstable, he could only reluctantly choose to make peace with the Persian Empire, and signed a contract to deliver a considerable amount of property every year in exchange for peace with the Persian Empire.
Under such circumstances, neither the Frankish Kingdom nor the Persian Empire, two empires with sufficient strength to make a move, could not spare their hands to deal with the Saxons. Even though the wife of the king of the Frankish kingdom, Clovis was a royal princess of the Burgundians, she knew that her husband could not help her to take revenge on the cruel executioners, so she could only stay in the prayer room day and night to pray to her lord and send divine punishment to destroy this group of cruel infidels who believed in demon gods.
But the rise of the Saxons was definitely not good news for Artoria, who had just ascended to the throne of Great Britain, and the kingdom's long-cherished enemies had become stronger, which she did not want to see.
