“…… Although we have tried to protect ourselves as much as possible over the past 30 months and avoided getting involved in those dangerous things, death has been pouring in one after another. No matter how careful we were, fifteen people, including my father, were killed.

This is Ms. Amanda, a doctor at the research station, who suffered a nervous breakdown and died of a drug overdose after learning that she had traveled to another Shijie;

This is Mr. Dacman, a mechanic and electrician, who was unlucky enough to fall into an ice hole while driving a snowmobile out in the winter;

This is Sergeant Scott, who, while trying to hunt wild deer on horseback, accidentally fell off his horse and broke his neck;

This is Professor Bernard, who studies the hole in the ozone layer, and he was unfortunately knocked over by a wild boar while herding sheep, and then rolled off a cliff;

This is Miss Kim, who was bitten by a poisonous snake while planting potatoes in the field, and when we found out, she was already dead;

This is Mr. O'Hara, who, while reconnoitring the upper reaches of the Avon River in a rubber boat, unfortunately ran aground and capsized, and then drowned;

This was Corporal Mead, who had been shot in the head by a stone during a battle in the northern forest to defend himself against an attack by the Anglo tribes.

These were Lady Sunny, Miss Bingley, Lieutenant Spencer, and Ensign Achill, who went out hunting and fishing together on a sunny summer day, and never returned, and we searched again and again, but found no trace, so we buried their pictures here as a memento;

This is Charles the Sapper, who has encountered wolves on his way back from a solo trip to the hot springs in Bath City. He was besieged and killed after running out of bullets;

This is Mr. Ambrose, the temporary director and chef of the research station, who went out into the field to collect wild vegetables and edible mushrooms in the spring that we had just arrived. Unfortunately, he was struck by lightning in the wilderness and died of a thunderbolt in the wilderness, and his whole body was charred......"

Standing in the cemetery in the backyard of the church in Bath City, pointing to the row of white crosses in front of him, Arthur introduced Wang Qiu as follows, "...... And then, here. It was my father, Major Uther and Corporal Garcia, who drove out a band of Irish pirates near the mouth of the Avon River, thinking that with their guns. It should be a no-brainer, but I didn't expect the enemy's broken ships to be equipped with long-range ballistae of the Roman Empire......"

Speaking of this, Arthur's face couldn't help but show a wry smile, "...... Although it may be a bit of a wretch. But only passively and inactively, he stayed at Camelot. Avoiding all unnecessary battles and conflicts, and waiting for rescue from the modern Shijie, we have paid such terrible casualties, and the standard military ammunition is almost exhausted, and then we can only scare people with flare guns and potato guns. So, if we really have the ambition to conquer Britain and even rebuild the Roman Empire. How many people would have to die? ”

-- I have to say, less than three years in a short period of time. There was a mortality rate of more than a third, and it was still in the absence of a large-scale war...... These pampered Brits, after traveling to the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages, had bad luck.

Of course, this mortality rate is nothing compared to those expeditions of the Western Age of Discovery--when Magellan's fleet organized a voyage around the world, and when they set off, there were only 18 hungry and sick men left in Southeast Asia...... Without the sacrifices that followed, how could the great glory of the global colonization of Western Europeans come from?

“…… And even if we really defeat the Anglo-Saxons and subdue the Celts, what will we get? The caves and hide-out tents of the Anglo-Saxon barbarians, or the huts of the Celts? ”

Arthur pouted, "...... First of all, we do not lack food, but we have surplus food to sell; Secondly, seafood from the lower reaches of the Avon River, birds and beasts and furs from the mountains, coal for heating, wood for construction and life, all these things we can exchange for potatoes. As for the many more haode things, they were not produced on the island of Great Britain at this time. Who would want to conquer such a poor place? ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Indeed, the island of Great Britain in the early Middle Ages was in a state of savagery with a great collapse of civilization.

Cities left by the Romans, such as London, Lincoln and Colchester, are now in ruins. Commercial trade and handicraft production, which had once flourished, were almost completely cut off at this time. In many places, pottery is not even produced, so they have to use wooden utensils for food.

Cities are in ruins, farmland is wasteland, mines, docks, and workshops are abandoned, and the fire of civilization is extinguished in the darkness of ignorance......

To add insult to injury, in the territory of the former Roman province of Britannia south of Hadrian's Wall, that is, in the future Wales and England, a total of only about 150,000 square kilometers of land, there were more than 50 "kingdoms" of all sizes, with the kingdoms of the Celts and Germanic invaders roughly half each. Among the Celtic camps were the kingdom of Demetei in South Wales, the kingdom of Gwynnes in North Wales, where the Tudor family who would later rule England originated, the Kingdom of Boas in East Wales, the Kingdom of Regid in the north-west of England, the Kingdom of Cornwall in the south-west, and so on. Among the camps of the Germanic invaders were the Anglo kingdoms of Bernesia and Deira in the northeast, the Kent kingdoms of the Jutes in the southeast, and the Saxon kingdoms of Essex, Sussex and Wessex.

Well, the "Red Dragon Kingdom", or the "Pendragon Kingdom", which was established around the "Carmellot" research station, is also one of them.

The rulers of these countries have their own good names, such as the King of Rocks, the King of Storms, the King of Benevolence, and the King of Fire. It may sound majestic and untouchable, but to put it bluntly. England was less than half the size of the Japanese archipelago, so the largest of these kingdoms occupied only one or two counties, and the smallest had only a few villages. It is far inferior to the daimyo of Japan's Warring States period - Japan had a population of at least 10 million or 20 million during the Warring States period. The total population of Great Britain during the Dark Ages was only about one million.

Therefore, it is not bad for each kingdom to have a population of 20,000 or 30,000, and a population of more than 100,000 is a superpower. The so-called king is at best the leader of a violent group, and unless the serfs carrying the wooden plough are also brought up to make up the number, the younger brother under his command is usually no more than three digits.

Among them, the Kingdom of Wessex, centered on Portsmouth and Southampton. According to the course of history, England will finally be unified after hundreds of years.

But at this time, the first king of the Wessex Kingdom, Celdic, had just landed in Britain with his entire tribe in 495 AD. The history of the entire country is only five years, and it is not much older than the "Red Dragon Kingdom" of the British time-travelers.

To get back to the point, under such a situation of division and war, the productive forces of the entire island of Great Britain have been greatly damaged. Foreign trade is also on the verge of being cut off. If it is said. The Celts, who inherited the legacy of Roman civilization, were similar to the countrymen of modern African countries in the eyes of British travelers. Then the even more ignorant and backward Anglo-Saxons will simply become cannibals in the rainforests of Southeast Asia

Therefore, for these impoverished and brutal old ancestors, Arthur and his father Yusher only thought of getting as far away from them as possible, and really had no intention of conquering them—even if they won the battle, they would not grab any good things, but would waste precious ammunition.

Well? I'm tired of eating potatoes. Looking for some wheat and rice for a change of taste?

…… This one...... In the island of Great Britain during the Dark Ages, there was no rice production at all. As for the wheat...... Yields are also frighteningly low.

-- Europe in this era. The average harvest of oats is only three times that of seeds, so a third should be left for seeds after harvesting; The average harvest of barley and rye is less than four times that of seeds, and more than a quarter is left for seed after harvest; The average harvest of wheat is a little more than four times that of seeds, and a quarter of the seeds need to be left for seed. If it's in China...... Well, I remember that when there was a great drought in Yunnan, a farmer once held a shriveled ear of wheat with three or four grains of wheat and cried sadly to the TV camera that their fields had been harvested this year.

In this way, the countryside of medieval European countries, if by the standards of modern China, was almost every year of the harvest......

What's more, even such a pitiful output is still the situation of a normal year. Nowadays, due to the western shijie entering the Xiaoice Age, the climate is even worse, various disasters are continuous, and there are occasional cold temperatures of minus 40 degrees in winter, and the yield of various grains is even lower. It is better to exchange potatoes for wheat, and if you want to forcibly expropriate them, you really don't know how much trouble you will cause - why should you conquer these poor places, then?

-- When the proceeds of war plunder are far from being equal to the exchange of trade, it is a fool's foolish act to rashly start a war.

Indeed, the generators at the Camelot Research Station require heavy oil to operate, something that cannot be traded. However, in the ghost place of Great Britain, in addition to the unattainable North Sea oil fields, if they want to make oil, they must go to Romania on the other side of the European continent - this is obviously impossible to do - even if they want to learn from the Japanese who were short of materials during World War II and use the soil method of boiling pine roots to refine oil, there are enough pine trees on the barren mountains nearby, not to mention that they may not know how to boil pine roots, which is a "substitute" for poor ghosts to make jishu.

In short, since there is food and clothing here at the Carmellot scientific research station, the external materials needed can be obtained through trade. As for what cannot be exchanged through trade, it is still impossible to get it even through war...... In that case, why bother to take the initiative to go to war with blood and life?

In modern times, rich countries like to crusade against poor countries, but in ancient times, only poor countries liked to crusade against rich countries - rich countries will only lose money when they attack poor countries.

According to this logic, since the standard of living at the "Camelot" scientific research station is much higher than that of all the neighbors in the vicinity, then naturally there is no willingness and motivation to take the initiative to fight abroad: what else do the poor ghosts outside have to rob?

Therefore, Uther. When Major Weasley was in power. This small "Red Dragon Kingdom" has always maintained a "hermit style" of quiet and indisputable. And Arthur, after being elected leader, does not seem to have any intention of changing this negative approach.

In response to Arthur's above explanation, Wang Qiu thought about it for a long time. finally found a breakthrough," ...... And what about women? Don't tell me, you've been here for more than two years, and you've always been able to control your lower body, and you've never thought of finding a pretty girl who can warm your bed? ”

“…… Do you mean those Germanic women with mud-smeared faces, who don't take a shower all year round, and who are filthy and smelly, or those who are arrogant and debauched, and passionate? A red-haired Celtic girl who doesn't know what chastity is? The blonde time-traveling version of King Arthur winked playfully.

“…… If it's the former, we really don't have that much appetite, so you might as well grab two of them yourself and try them out. If it's the latter. We don't have to fight at all, there are a bunch of ladies and ladies who are willing to come to Carmellot to offer their own pillows, and there are also kings who want to marry the princess! ”

At this point, his tone suddenly changed from smug to a little strange. “…… Even my father. Here she found me a stepmother, a princess from the King of Cornwall, even though she is younger than me, and she must be fifteen years old this year......"

“…… Is it? Wang Qiu blinked in surprise, "...... weishenme I didn't seem to see such a woman just now? ”

“…… Because she didn't give birth to a child, as soon as my father died, she secretly rolled up something and slipped away, as if she was afraid that we would bury her. Arthur said not without dejection, "...... She brought kitchen knives, watermelon knives, dinner knives and fruit knives from the kitchen. Almost all of them were stolen! ”

- Well, that's really open-minded. Compared with the modern Western society after sexual liberation, it seems to be almost the same......

――――――――――――――――――――――――

In general, the ancient Romans were generally rough and indulgent by nature, and they often expressed their lusts straightforwardly, seeking vivid and intense pleasure. Moreover, they indulge both sexual desires and all other desires, "wine, sex, wealth, and gas" at the same time, and sometimes they simply debauchery to the extent of a flood, as evidenced by the huge gladiatorial arena and the debauched prostitution festival.

Therefore, in those countries that have been inherited from Roman culture, there is a clear common denominator: the desire for lust. For example, in the Romanized Celtic society of British Province, noble ladies and ladies who were naked, well-behaved, and unreserved.

According to Arthur, in the Celtic and Roman settlements of the western part of the island of Great Britain, the style of the ladies and ladies was quite bold and spicy, similar to the bold women of modern society. Don't say anything about the feudal etiquette of abiding by women's morals, and there is not even the most basic concept of chastity, and illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters are really a pile. The upper nobility even used wife swapping to deepen their friendship......

When the "Camelot" scientific expedition station sent envoys everywhere to send gifts and pull relations, and announced his existence, a certain Celtic king looked at these crystal clear glassware, beautifully patterned porcelain, light and strong plastic utensils and silver stainless steel knives, and was overjoyed for a while, and felt deeply unable to repay it, and actually ordered his newly married young queen to take turns to bathe and sleep with the envoys as the highest courtesy......

In addition, the handsome Ensign Lancelot once went to the mouth of the Avon River to make a deal with a royal merchant fleet from the opposite island of Ireland, and when he saw that the queen of the other party had also come with a group of maids and noblemen, he casually presented some worthless modern small jewelry, which made the eyes of the uninformed indigenous ladies sparkle with their eyes. Then that night, the queen and her two sisters went into the tent of Lieutenant Lancelot, and spent the whole night tossing and turning, before being carried back by the maids-in-waiting—well, it should be noted that Ireland was as divided as Britain at that time, but the population was much smaller than that of Britain, and the so-called queen was only a female tyrant at the level of mayor in modern times.

Wang Qiu was really dumbfounded for a moment at such a debauchery - compared to Cleopatra VII, the queen of Alexandria who only didn't like to wear clothes because the weather was too hot and often ran naked in the palace, could be called a chaste martyr......

To get back to the point, because of their envy of the "luxurious life" of the "Castle of Camelot", every time the people of the scientific research station went to other Celtic kingdoms and came into contact with their high-ranking magnates, there were many women dressed in fancy clothes, and even demonic little boys came out to flatter and beg for support in every possible way - to have a foundation with a beautiful little boy was also one of the popular lewd habits of the ancient Romans......

Of course, a bold woman like this is not something that everyone can afford. Therefore, the sullen medical soldier Bediwell made a "Lori Cultivation Jihua" and bought a pair of cute twins Loli from the slave market in Gloucester City. It's a pity that so far, it's only been less than a year, and the two Loli haven't reached the age of nine yet, if you use them to warm the bed now, it's not a beast, but a "stick killing"......

In addition, there were many monarchs who wanted to marry the "Castle of Carmellot" - it was very cost-effective to exchange several daughters for a large amount of grain and metal. What the? Want a dowry? Well, find dozens of more women to send over as dowries, just reduce a few more mouths for eating.

-- Since even women have taken the initiative to send them to the door, "Camelot Castle" has no desire to expand to the outside world.

It's no wonder that the freshly baked "King Arthur" Bixia will be completely invigorating. (To be continued......)
