Chapter 185: Irish Mythology and the Plan for Rome!
The Roman army was stationed in the south of Gaul to guard against Camelot's invasion at any time, Gawain and a Knight of the Round Table stayed behind to guard north of Gaul in case of contingencies, and Lodge returned triumphantly with the 'captive' Roman Emperor.
The city of Camelot, now expanded into the royal capital of Great Britain, has been transformed into a large city in three years compared to the previous medium-sized cities, and the prosperity here is no less than that of later generations.
Due to Lodge's shameless plagiarism of later inventions, Camelot's industrial development and agricultural development have been greatly improved, and both have also promoted the development of commerce to a certain extent.
With food and money, the combat effectiveness of the army naturally increased, and in addition to the fact that Great Britain has completely assimilated those small and medium-sized countries in its current territory, the population has soared from the original 10 million to 30 million in three years.
Such a result is naturally brought about by Lodge's policy of encouraging people to have multiple births.
When Nero arrived in the legendary city of Camelot, she was amazed by the sight of a place where Rome was no more prosperous, the faces of the people were filled with heartfelt happiness, and the faces of the soldiers were filled with pride in belonging to their country.
'This is a strong country, a country that is more cohesive than you can imagine......
Such a thought instantly entered Nero's heart, and she found that there seemed to be no place in Rome that could surpass Camelot. On the contrary, Camelot is now surpassing Rome.
Entering the simple and dignified palace, Nero had no intention of watching the scenery along the way, her mind was already occupied by the panic in her heart, she was in a state of pessimism, pessimism about the future of the Roman Empire.
In the palace of the king, C.C., Merlin and Morgan led a group of ministers who had been waiting for a long time, and Rocky slowly walked into the palace, and under the bow of the people, he walked slowly and majestically towards the legendary throne.
Nero, who was below, watched this scene and couldn't help but make a comparison, she sadly found that the power of the emperor was actually much smaller than what she saw. Camelot was not restrained by the Senate, and it is said that even the fiefdoms of the nobility had been abolished. They just keep their glorious name, and live in a way just ordinary citizens.
As Lodge sat on the throne, C.C led the crowd in singing in unison: "Congratulations on your Majesty's victory and victory for my Great Britain......
Rocky slowly raised his hand with a solemn expression, and everyone immediately quieted down and waited for him to speak.
"In this battle, the Roman Empire will be defeated, and sooner or later the whole territory of Gaul will be in our hands. His father, King Eusher, once said that his greatest enemy in life was the Roman Empire. But I now want to tell him that the Roman Empire is vulnerable! ”
"Glory! Glory! "The soldiers of the palace guard began to raise their spears and shout, and as they spread to the entire city of Camelot, no less than tens of thousands of soldiers shouted glory.
The minister held his breath and stared, not squinting. Nero was dumbfounded, his heart stirring.
Rocky suddenly stood up and raised his hands high, "From today onwards, my Camelot has officially changed my name to the British Empire, and I am also the first emperor of the British Empire!" You guys...... Have you ever been convinced? ”
“Yes,yourmajesty! Yes,yourmajesty……”
From kingdoms to empires, Nero seemed to see a vast empire on the rise.
Until the excited cheers quieted down, Lodge raised his hand and said with a smile: "In this war, we are fortunate to have the Emperor of Rome, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, to visit us in the city of Camelot. She will be the most honored guest of our Camelot City for the month to come, so don't let it go! ”
With Lodge commanding a few more things, and fixing the enthronement ceremony three days later, the triumphal ceremony was completed.
After returning to the inner court, Rocky took off the emperor's disguise, and asked C.C beside him, "Dear queen, did you think about me when I was away?" ”
Hearing this, the corners of C.C's mouth curled slightly, rolled his eyes, and said, "No!" ”
"Is that really the case? I'm so sad! Lodge feigned a lamentation, causing C.C to chuckle.
In addition to the two flirting and scolding, it is also rare to be warm, after all, they have been together for many years and have been together for a long time, and now they can finally stop worrying about war and political affairs.
It's a pity that God will always send people to stir up the situation in the dark. After the triumphal ceremony, Merlin saw the omen of impending evil in Ireland on his astrological tower, and his expression could not help but change, and hurried into the inner court.
When Rocky saw Merlin, who looked a little flustered, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Merlin, ...... are you?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive the minister for being rude, but when the minister was observing the stars, he found out that there was a major event about to happen in Ireland, and it might even threaten His Majesty, so the minister rushed here desperately!" Merlin explained, his expression showing a little anxiety, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision early and take precautions against this matter in advance, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Is there a catastrophe in Ireland? Rocky couldn't help but frown, "Merlin, did you make a mistake?" Last year, Ireland paid 30% of its annual tribute in taxes and food, and if there was an imminent catastrophe, it would not be so! ”
"Your Majesty, the catastrophe may not be a natural catastrophe...... It could also be ...... Person! Merlin said solemnly.
"People?" Rocky raised his eyebrows, who is born with a vision? Who would be the hero who could appear in Ireland in the first year of the Common Era, and who could trigger the stars? A hint of playfulness suddenly rose in his heart.
Ireland today is a vassal state of Great Britain, and they are composed of two states, Ulster in the north of Ireland and Connaught in the west. Ireland is the collective name for them and the other Allied Powers.
Today's king of Ulster is named Concierber MacNessa, and his younger brother is Conor, one of Ireland's most famous heroes in history. His mother was the stunningly beautiful Ulster Queen Nessa, who now secretly rules the country with her former husband's younger brother, Fergus Mark Roy.
And there is one person who cannot be ignored, and that is Corncieber's sister, Dectiel.
She was about to give birth to a baby boy, the son of Ruger, the Celtic sun god, according to later generations. The baby boy was Ireland's famous hero, Ku Chulin, the son of light, whose original name was Setant.
Regardless of what Ireland is doing now, Ireland before did prove their weakness. As in Celtic mythology, the people of Ireland seem to have been cursed by the goddess Chama.
Under the suppression of the Knights of the Round Table, basically those armies were on the verge of collapse, and only a few stubborn people were all wiped out. Even if a hero is born, how can he be powerful? The legend of Ulster is confined only to the two countries. Great Britain is home to almost one-third of Europe. What's more, now that the hero has not grown up, Concierber, the 'virtuous king', has not become tyrannical, and everything has not had time to be corrected.
Secretly going through the myth of Celtic in his heart, Rocky asked with a relaxed expression: "Merlin, according to your prediction, how long will it take for Ireland to change?" ”
Merlin was stunned when he saw this, and was surprised why Rocky was so relaxed, and replied honestly: "According to the minister's prediction, it will be about 10 years later......
Rocky couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Since it's been so long, why should we be in a hurry?" Ireland is just a symbol of weakness now, not my arrogance, even if they are heroes on the whole? It's enough for me to suppress it alone! ”
Feeling the strong confidence exuded by Rocky, Merlin's expression couldn't help but be in a trance, and then the corners of his mouth slightly curled up a beautiful arc, and the anxiety in his heart disappeared, "It's the minister who made a fuss, please forgive the minister for being rude, and actually doubting His Majesty's ability......"
"That's it!" Rocky frowned, "How many times have you said it, don't call yourself a minister." ”
"Yes, I understand." Merlin chuckled, and it was rare for her to show such a narrow side in her seriousness.
C.C on the side saw that the two of them got along like this, and his heart was slightly sour, but he was also relieved. Because she knew that Merlin could no longer leave Camelot, that she already had everything she cared about.
With the matter of Ireland put aside, Merlin began to talk about Nero's disposition again. Although Lodge said that he would treat Nero as a guest of honor, wouldn't it be a pity not to use the status of Roman emperor to make some fuss?
"Your Majesty, exchanging an emperor for a province may happen in those small countries. But the Roman Empire had a senate, so they would not have agreed. In those old stubborn ideas, the territory has never been expanded, not decreased. Merlin began to analyze the situation in the upper echelons of Rome, and also gave his thoughts on using Nero for the greatest resources, "Since they don't agree to use the land in exchange, why can't we give some money and treasures?" ”
Rocky fell into deep thought when he heard this, but C.C asked a little uncertainly, "Treasure?" What is the use of these things for us? Today's Camelot is no less prosperous than Rome, and the treasury is full enough to support dozens of major wars. For us now, what we urgently need is land for the people to live on, right? ”
Merlin chuckled and shook his head, and instead of speaking, he looked at Rocky with his crystal-like eyes.
"Consumption...... A large amount of money emptied the treasury of the Roman Empire, intensified the oppression of the people in the Roman Empire, caused hatred between classes, and sowed the seeds of division within the country......" Lodge told Merlin's unspoken plan with an appreciative expression, "This is indeed a good way, but it is not enough to cause the division of Rome!" ”
Merlin raised a finger and said meaningfully: "One emperor rules one country......" She raised two fingers, "Then two emperors, naturally rule two countries......"
Rocky was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed, "You mean, use Molia ......" PS: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
