389. King Arthur of Great Britain
The human wolves and the alchemists have always been at odds with the magicians, this is inevitable, and Zhou Chu naturally knows this.
"What about the Awoken, how many are there in London at the moment, or, how many squads?"
"On the side of the magicians, there are three, but now only our team is here, on the werewolf side there are two, now one is in London, and there are two that are not explicitly stated, but now they are not in London, and they are all heading for the battlefield or Jerusalem."
One-on-one, Zhou Chu thought, and asked.
"What about the Knights of the Round Table and the Crusaders?"
"The Knights of the Round Table are absolutely loyal to King Arthur, so King Arthur can do whatever he wants them to do, as for the Crusaders, after breaking off the relationship with the church, the Crusaders have now become similar to the existence of the royal army, and they are also the cards in King Arthur's hands, don't worry about these two."
"Okay, we'll see when the time comes."
Zhou Chu and Gao Ming ended their conversation, and then boarded the carriage at the door, the whip in the coachman's hand made a sound in the air, and the carriage slowly headed towards the palace.
At this time, the London palace had not yet formed its own style, or because of the successive or current King Arthur, in terms of style and tone, it showed a solemn and solemn sense of indifference, atmospheric, but not magnificent, not so much a palace, but a paramilitary palace after luxury.
After passing through one group of guarded soldiers and guards, Zhou Chu and Gao Ming, led by the soldiers, came to a room in the side hall, and when the guards pushed open the door, Zhou Chu could hear the discussion inside. It was only after he and Gao Ming came in that the sound stopped, and the people in the room focused their eyes.
They were looking at Zhou Chu, and Zhou Chu was also looking at the environment of the room and them.
It is a long and narrow room, and at the entrance a long oval table, placed in the middle, occupies the main and conspicuous position in the room, and around this round table, there are chairs. The sandalwood-colored walls are hung with simple oil paintings.
The chairs were filled with all sorts of people. There are middle-aged men dressed in orthodox and old-fashioned aristocratic attire, young men in ornate but slightly frivolous modified dresses, and serious officers dressed in sackcloth shirts that look like rude men.
The only person who felt completely separate from the group was the one at the end of the long round table. He sat on a chair that was much taller than the others. Tough blonde hair and straight eyebrows. There was no other expression in his calm dark blue eyes, and his face was not as tough as that of a Nordic man. But he also has straight lines, but soft, and his thin lips are pursed, slightly towards the corners of his mouth, proving that his current mood is not high, and he seems to be thinking and worrying about something.
Then first, a man who looked like a merchant and a peddler spoke, and he took the foot that was on the chair, took the foot from the chair, stood up straight, and then said to Gao Ming in a mocking tone.
"This must be the spokesperson of those vampire species, right?"
It's not a vampire, it's not a blood race, it's a use of the term "vampire", and "species" in this world has the meaning of contempt and contempt, just like vampires call humans short-lived species, and humans call respiratory blood-hungry ghosts immortal species, or vampire species, on such an occasion, with such a statement, it is naturally not to express welcome and respect.
Zhou Chu looked at the man, not only did the man not avoid his gaze, but there was a sense of provocation and eagerness in his eyes.
But Zhou Chu didn't pay attention to him, but turned his head and said to Gao Ming.
"It seems that the statement is correct, because of the curse, the intelligence and IQ, as well as the emotions are affected by the genetic defects of the beast, they are closer to the beast and impulsive in terms of self-control and reason, and they are too easily irritable and irritated, so that they are no different from the beast at some point."
As if to verify his words, the man immediately kicked over the chair, and the low roar of a beast sounded in the room, and then the man who turned into a half-wolf pounced on Zhou Chu.
Wright. Although Brian didn't quite understand what Zhou Chu said, some modern words such as "gene", "defect", "IQ", etc., but this did not prevent him from understanding Zhou Chu's words, Zhou Chu was laughing at him bluntly and nakedly, so he was already easily provoked, so he pounced directly at Zhou Chu, the British Empire is a place that pays attention to strength rather than lip service, not to mention that he had been hinted before that he could humiliate or hit the spokesperson of this vampire without scruples.
So he was ridiculed and provoked, so he didn't think about keeping his hand, and slapped Zhou Chu's paws, and he also used all his strength.
The spokesperson of this vampire seemed to be so frightened that he didn't react at all.
But when the paw was about to be slapped, he saw that the corners of the other party's mouth were slightly raised.
Then I just glanced at him.
But it was this glance that made Wright's pupils widen in an instant, even he didn't know what Lu Dao was about, the person in front of him seemed to have suddenly become an ancient beast, so that he felt fear and shock at that glance, he even wanted to turn around and run away, his mind was blank, and he couldn't understand all this without knowing Lu Dao.
It's just that inertia still carried Wright to him, and the claws were already slapping the young man's face.
Leaning back slightly, the claws swept only a few centimeters from the face, bringing only a gust of wind, and then turned sideways, turned in place, and kicked in a round.
With a bang, Wright's whole body was kicked out of the air, smashed through the sandalwood partition, and flew into the corridor outside.
The loud noise alarmed the guards, but the guards only rushed to take a look, and seeing that there was nothing else, they immediately left and returned to their posts, as if such things had become common and commonplace.
Wright stood up a little in disbelief, but he didn't know what he should do, this young man who seemed to be able to tear apart with one hand, but at that moment just now, he showed a terrifying momentum that frightened him, like a giant beast, but now he looked like a harmless ordinary human being, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Chu, and then looked at someone in the room.
The corner of Zhou Chu's eyes moved silently with Wright's gaze, and fell on an inconspicuous old man who looked like a housekeeper in the corner, and immediately moved back.
This is the mastermind, Zhou Chu just made a note of his appearance, and then his gaze was retracted.
"That was coercion, right?" Gao Ming approached Zhou Chu and asked quietly, although he and the people around him didn't feel it, but Gao Ming, who was closest and was considered positive, could still see the changes in Wright's eyes and expression, as well as the temporary stiffness of his body in the process of rushing over, so he could naturally guess what method Zhou Chu used.
"Hmm." Zhou Chu said succinctly, "It can already be controlled to release the individual and the individual." ”
Single coercion, causing the opponent's psychological shock, and then dodging the opponent's attack, counterattack, even the power of the explosion is not used, whether it is pure strength or speed, reaction, this human wolf is not comparable to him, plus the coercion, psychological shock and short-term thinking blank, it makes him full of flaws.
There's no need to spend too much effort or show too much, it's just a pawn of temptation, just beat it, and talk about the rest.
What's more, that person will not be angry with him because of this, and now he needs to be thoughtful.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, who saw the majesty of the emperor at a glance, clapped his hands, and then stood up, looking a little tall because of his broad shoulders and chest, and even more bold under the cloak.
"You're Cadias, aren't you? Not bad. ”
There are no prefixes such as "this", and there are no suffixes like "sir", and the simple, direct grammar and diction of sentences indicate his character and attitude.
"Well, I am." Zhou Chu only simply answered King Arthur's question.
"You may know who I am, but I still have to introduce myself, I am the seventeenth Emperor of the British Empire and the seventh King Arthur. Hofer III. ”
Zhou Chu tried to take some time to sort out the connections and differences between the Emperor - King Arthur - Hofer III, but he just gave up after flashing this thought, none of this mattered, the important thing was that he knew the red in front of him. Hofer is now the emperor of this empire, and that's enough.
So he just returned to a semi-standard aristocratic etiquette: "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Okay, let's move on to that." Reed. Hofer sat down, then said to one of the knights beside him, "Lancelot, go and get the map and the sandbox." ”
The round table was quickly arranged into a sand table map, and if you look closely, there are still some differences between the Europa continent in this world and Europe in the real world, but on the whole there is not much difference. The territory of the British Empire has expanded from the British Isles to the mainland, the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) and France in the real world are within the territory, and the Nordic countries, that is, the scope of the Nordic Temple, from the Netherlands north of Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland are all within the scope of the Nordic Temple, the Holy Roman Empire includes the Balkan Peninsula and Turkey, and the Federation of Travanesia is now Romania, Belarus and Lithuania. The free zone of Noorlist, which seems to be the place of present-day Austria, included southern Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Slovenia and southern Poland, and the rest were small states that were attached to the nearest great empire.
