By the time it was dark, the noise in the city had gradually stopped.

There are only a few places left that are still resisting, but they are just barely breathing.

Sitting in the place that should have belonged to Tamiz, Arthur held a glass of red wine in his hand, like the proud hero king in FaTe, propped up half of his head, quietly watching the wine glass that was shaking in his other hand.

"Boss......" Some excited voices came from outside.

The next moment, the door was pushed open with a bang.

If it were a hero king, he would definitely frown slightly at this moment, and then shouted angrily without looking back: "Bold, who asked you to disturb this king's Yaxing!" ”

But Arthur wasn't a hero.

Although the gesture of the subordinate behind him opening the door was really not polite, considering that he was a soldier, the young man didn't care.

You can't let everyone have the same good aristocratic etiquette as yourself, right?

"It's time to change your name a little now, Enlot."

"Yes, City Lord!"

The middle-aged man was only slightly stunned, and then instantly understood what Arthur meant.

Looking at the noble young man in front of him with a fanatical expression, Enlot felt that the most correct decision he had made in his life was to follow him.

"You didn't block the gates, did you?"

"No, city lord!"

"Hmm......" Glancing around the map in front of him, the boy pointed to one of the places, "Take the soldiers with you, from now on, you are the commander of the city's guards." ”

"Yes, thank you for your trust, City Lord!"

Enlott saluted respectfully, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Don't forget, give those mercenaries what they deserve."

"I know."

"Don't worry about money, that kind of thing, if it can't be transformed into combat effectiveness, it's just a pile of wasteland."

"I see what you mean."

Enlote turned to salute again, glanced at Arthur with admiration, then took a deep breath as the new Captain of the Guard pushed open the door and quickly left.

Arthur, on the other hand, looked at his back, smiled and drank the red wine in his hand.

The spirit of the king is really a very useful thing.

———————— those who don't vote are stupid gentlemen————————

"Charge!"

In the dark night sky, on the uninhabited road, a loud roar suddenly resounded in the sky, alarming the pedestrians on the road.

"How, how is it possible, how can it be so fast!"

Seeing the firelight around him, Tamiz was stunned and shouted at a person next to him in shock.

"Didn't you say that they have very few people, and it will take at least a day to completely resolve the battle?!" Talliz pointed at the soldiers who surrounded him and yelled, "Can you explain what this is all about and why there are ambushes here!" ”

"I ...... I'm ......" Ghosn, the administrative assistant next to him, was naturally sweating profusely.

Dumbfounded, he looked at the soldiers around him, the assistant who was completely trusted by Tamiz, and didn't understand what was going on.

Around them, Enlot, who commanded the soldiers, looked at the farcical scene in the middle, and sneered disdainfully.

How could this group of mortals understand how powerful the person he was following was?

It's like Arthur once said to him one day -

They're just clowns, and they're not worth caring about.

"You can't see through such a simple scheme, Tamiz, you are completely unqualified to be my lord's opponent."

Drawing the sword Arthur had given him, a frenzied look flashed in Enlot's eyes.

"Just let me deal with you here—Charge!"

The next moment, countless black shadows stirred.

The mercenaries, who were lured by money, turned into fierce warriors who were not afraid of death, and bravely rushed to the front line.

Their eyes are filled with a thirst for money. So they took up arms, incarnated as Arthur's sharpest minions, helped him, and took his first steps in this world.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

You will think that Arthur, who controls the lifeblood of the economy, has only 300 troops, and Tamiz, who has only 300 troops, is a real idiot.

For he was not dealing with a greedy merchant, not a wealthy man, but a careerist, a conqueror.

Money is not the essence of his pursuit, it is just a small means to win.

—————————— you don't vote when you see this? Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮, hit you~——————————

Arthur, who had drunk all the red wine, stood on the windowsill of the City Lord's Mansion, silently looking at the city below that had just been stained red with blood.

"In two days, it should be lively again, right?"

The deserted streets made Arthur suddenly feel guilty.

Conquest, Conquest, Conquest...... Is this right or wrong? If I hadn't been here, these soldiers would still be living well, eating, drinking, and having fun every day, right?

"There is no right or wrong in war."

A gentle voice came from behind him, and the next moment, Arthur felt a soft touch on his back.

"Are you confused? My king? ”

The green-haired girl poked her head out from behind Arthur, her amber eyes with a slight smile, and stared at him quietly.

"Of course...... No! ”

How could I be confused by such a thing?! Arthur couldn't help but chuckle.

His royal heart was already firm when he pulled out the Rhine; The thought just now is just a fleeting intolerance, after all, he may be a ridiculous ~ lewd and unscrupulous king, but he will not be a cruel and inhuman tyrant.

Sissi looked at him and suddenly sneered, "You're not a bad person. ”

Arthur raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth hooked: "But I'm not a good person either." ”

"So ......"

"I'm just a layman who follows my heart's desires ~ in order to live a better life."

"What a derogatory thing you are, King."

Sissi had a smile in her eyes.

Arthur turned his head and looked at his extremely clever round table manager: "Sure enough, you were the first to respond to me, Sissi." ”

"I could sense that the king needed me, so I came."

"What about over there?"

"Everything that needs to be done is arranged, enough to last for a while, and with Asuka here, she is not weaker than me in terms of management and hosting."

"That big lady, ......"

Thinking of the eldest lady who likes to wear pink**, Arthur couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"Don't you know that it's disrespectful to hold a woman in your arms and think of another woman in your heart?"

Sissi looked up, her tone disgruntled, but her face was still full of smiles.

Arthur touched his nose.

He's really not good at dealing with the witch in front of him, and although the other party can't see through his thoughts now, a girl with a lot of experience can still see what he's thinking from his face at a glance.

"Sometimes saving some face for the king is also the position of the round table manager."

"Well, so I'm not angry."

“……”

"This is not a pass, I don't want to see a ** king, so whether you are standing as a round table manager or as a queen, I hope you can ...... Don't be so abusive. ”

"......" also said that he was not angry.

Arthur looked at the smiling witch in front of him and sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, women are jealous.

At this time, it is better not to answer the call and divert the topic, which is the best choice.

"You should know my strategy, right?"

Turning his head, Arthur looked at the world map over there.

"Well, it's simple, the countryside surrounds the city."

Sissi did not debunk the fact that Arthur changed the subject, but followed his words and said Arthur's thoughts.

"For Fiore, where the magical civilization is thriving, the surrounding places are backward villages, and the ones in the middle are advanced cities."

"At present, we don't have the strength to directly seize the 'city' armies, so we can only move to the 'countryside', encroach on the surrounding places step by step, and finally in——" With a slight fist, the girl smiled and said: "One blow will kill!" ”

"Taizu's tactics, how could I not understand them after living with you for so many years."

With a smile, Sissi winked at Arthur.

Arthur couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, talking to this witch who knows everything about herself is simple.
