Chapter 143: Toy Legion
The Big Bad Wolf, Little Red Riding Hood, the Seven Dwarfs, the Three Giant Dogs, and the Tin Soldiers, as well as many well-known and unknown fairy tale characters, all pop up.
"What is this?" Princess Alice swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with difficulty.
The influence of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales is world-class, not because he is the most literary, but because he is the most widely disseminated.
People in the world may not know Shakespeare, and even if they do, they may not be able to tell what works he wrote, what the storylines are, and what the characters are, but the characters in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales are famous all over the world and awaken their childhood memories.
"This should be Little Red Riding Cycle, that one is the three-headed giant dog in China, and those little ones are the tin soldiers toy legion, right? William, are you going to open a Williamland?"
Erica said in shock, then trying to ease the tension and oppression with words that bordered on jokes.
Only the Marquis de Woban was silent, even he knew Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, and the instinct of the godslayer alerted him instantly.
Can't be wrong, that's right, that's what it feels like.
This is the taste of disobedience to God.
"Myths and fairy tales are actually very similar things, myths were originally created by someone and widely disseminated, and then developed, and finally formed a relatively authoritative text, fairy tales are the same, from the initial creation, to the continuous dissemination of the people, to the end of the emergence of a talented writer, based on the previous story as inspiration or careful adaptation of a fairy tale, so when I use the fairy tale book to summon the characters in the fairy tale, it is also a matter of course." William explained as a matter of course.
Can this be taken for granted?
The two are just things that seem similar, but are actually completely different.
Mythology is a set of great rituals compiled by human beings, because people are afraid of the power of nature, afraid of the great power that has no posture and no constraints, and through the compilation of myths, this great being is endowed with the image of a god, so that they do not go beyond the norms of mythology, enter the world of myths, fulfill their powers, and maintain the order of the world.
The existence of myths is meant to bind the gods.
However, fairy tales are just bedtime stories for children, and in order to pass the boring world, educational stories are made.
The gods in the sky are not born because humans created myths, but because gods were born in the first place, and humans created myths in order to restrain them.
It is precisely because of this that the gods of the heavens will become gods of disobedience when they go against their myths and wander the earth of the earth.
Common sense told them that the fairy tale characters summoned by William were not necessarily disobedient gods, but the aura of the gods was so obvious, but when Princess Alice looked at William's ambiguous smile at this time, it instantly made her understand that this little ghost was talking nonsense seriously.
"Don't try to fool me, you little imp, let my wolf cubs tear up all the big bad wolves and Little Red Riding Hoods you summoned now!"
The Marquis of Warban roared angrily, and although he felt that William was mocking him with his unmastered knowledge of magic, he had no evidence at all.
However, it was precisely because there was no evidence that he was angry, and this little ghost in front of him actually dared to fool him, an ancient demon king who could be called his predecessor.
This guy is damned.
The wolves instantly swarmed up and attacked the fairy tale characters, and although it seemed that the fairy tale characters summoned by William were disobedient gods, the people present did not think that the fairy tale characters could win.
Because everyone really can't imagine how Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella are supposed to fight the wolves, except for the three giant dogs, such as the Tin Soldier Toy Legion, which is only the size of a human fist, and the ugly duckling hiding behind the Toy Army, no matter how you look at it, they are so small that they are simply funny characters in everyday anime.
However, when the wolves obeyed the orders of the Marquis of Warban, they abandoned the battle with the knights of the Bronze Black Cross and chose to attack the fairy tale characters, the outcome seemed to be doomed.
"Column, attack, raise guns, call out to our companions, follow the general's orders, and destroy the enemy!"
The most neat and elite looking tin toy legion was lined up, and it looked like there were forty soldiers in size.
Tin soldier toys are very popular toys of European people, before Andersen was born, the average commoner could only play with the toys made of straw and rags, the aristocracy and the rich can play with silver toys, until Andersen was born after the birth of a monolithic metal stamping machine came out, this cheap toy was born.
Although it is a toy, it cannot be just regarded as a toy, because it is a military toy, and soldiers are divided into categories and are widely loved by military enthusiasts.
Churchill was said to have had 1,500 toy tin soldiers before joining the army, and Tsar Peter III of Russia would play with his soldiers every night.
Just as it's hard for boys to imagine that girls are so obsessed with dolls, it's hard for girls to imagine boys' enthusiasm for military toys.
Boom, crackling sounded, and the wolves were hit by the bullets of the toy soldiers and fell to the ground.
"Why, why, that's happening!" Marquis Woban said puzzled, his wolves were summoned by his power, and each giant wolf possessed a power that humans could not match, and when they combined, they could easily destroy human armies.
Human magic is ineffective against the gods and gods of disobedience, and the modern technological weapons of mankind have no practical effect on the gods and the gods of disobedience and the divine beasts they summon, which is why everyone must agree that the god killer is king.
Toy soldiers gather in groups of three or five, showing an invincible appearance, and the cavalry that originally looked like the Middle Ages, the weapons they hold in their hands have become more advanced, or more modern.
Churchill had fifteen hundred toy soldiers, not to mention William.
"Although the toy soldiers use toy weapons, theoretically not lethal, but they can be summoned from fairy tales, if there is a god who has the legend of mastering all weapons, then after he descends in this world, then whether it is ancient cold weapons, or modern weapons, he will control, which is in line with his mythology, fairy tales naturally need to keep pace with the times, this is inevitable. Therefore, it is natural to summon a legion of tin soldiers who use modern weapons. ”
William explained slowly, and then the Marquis of Warban looked at the fool's expression.
Zhu Bajie in the Ming Dynasty was a black pig image in the eyes of the world, but the image of Zhu Bajie in modern Chinese is a white pig.
This is because the ancient pig breed was eliminated, so it is believed that Zhu Bajie is a white pig, and when the fairy tale is told, the era will not be specially marked in the hearts of children, so it is very understandable for children to substitute the image of their toy soldiers into fairy tales.
"Helicopter gunships open up sight, tank armies advance, cavalry follow, and missile corps find the right opportunity to respond."
William was like a soldier in command of thousands of troops, and the soldiers also quickly launched a surprise attack after hearing his orders.
"William, do you want to be Tsar Peter III?" King Arthur's faint gaze came.
Tsar Peter III was fond of fiddling with his toy soldiers and fortresses and cannons under his bedding, and it was because of this hobby that he was overthrown by her Empress Catherine.
Because if Peter was only a ten-year-old child, it would be lovely to fiddle with toys in bed every night, but the problem was that he was 43 at the time, so the gaze of King Arthur made William give up his second-class performance.
He was indeed fond of toys and had many silver toys in his castle.
"Erica, you're going to support me for this love!" William grabbed Erica's hand as soon as he seemed to be looking for someone who could understand him.
"You should fiddle with them on the military sandbox, not in your own room." Erica said with a wry smile, even Alice and Erica realized that William's mind seemed to be quite immature.
Although Erica and Liliana are only twelve years old, they both think in the way of adults, and they are real little adults.
Sixteen-year-old Erica even became a great knight, and later became a red demon, and she also had this mental relationship, and William was really just a child in his mind except for his strength.
Attachment to one's mother, willfulness, and wanting the world to revolve around oneself are all manifestations of this.
Some people are adults, but they are still evaluated as giant babies.
