Fairy Tale World·Ireland·Dublin Palace
King William was sitting on the throne of the Royal Palace of Ireland, and all his memories of the Greek world suddenly came back to his mind, causing his brain to shut down instantly and remain sluggish for a long time.
In the world of "Heracles, Son of Zeus", he unified the entire Greece, tried the King of Athens Eurystheus, established a Greek federation led by Sparta and Athens, and united Hercules and Hercules. The legend of Kashiwa's son also spread throughout Greece, and finally accumulated the energy to return to the original world.
Duke William has captured King Arthur. As long as he captures London, he will soon be crowned the King of England. At the same time, for the sacred legitimacy of his kingship, he will even marry King Arthur.
Behind William stood the saint Patrick, behind Duke William stood the saint Edward, and King Harold of England had no one standing, so he was destined to be no match for Duke William.
Because King Harold was the loser in the original history, he could not expect to defeat Duke William with William's support. It was precious enough to delay William.
William touched his chin and pondered. Now his situation is also very difficult. If he wants to lead an army to compete with Duke William for the title of King of England, he needs an army. Now he has the confidence to compete with the opponent in terms of personal strength, but in a war There is no way to fight alone.
After all, this is no longer the era of Homer. There is no longer a demigod hero like Achilles who can control an entire army. Medieval wars are no longer popular for individual battles between generals and battles that highlight personal bravery. Instead, battles in military formations have begun to become popular.
The leprechauns regained their homeland, and they were all very happy. After completing their mission, William found that he could no longer command them who did not understand except the curse. The Irish nobles even refused to serve him as the king. Military service, especially traveling all the way overseas to fight.
We can't be like King Leonidas I of Sparta. Because of Sparta's domestic constraints, Sparta did not send a large army to participate in the war. As a last resort, the king could only take his 300 personal guards to defend Thermopylae. .
In fact, Sparta's 300 warriors did not fight according to domestic orders. Their main duty was to protect the Spartan king. Because the Spartan king had to fight against the 500,000 Persian army alone, the guards could only stay at Thermopylae. On the battlefield, the defending king was forced to go to war with the Persian army.
Neither the Dragon Emperor's terracotta warriors nor the Scorpion Emperor's army can be brought to this world. Although God has never appeared in person, God definitely exists. As long as William has any violation of regulations, he will suffer A thunderous blow from the rules of this world.
Just like Duke William could transform into a red dragon like him, but he never transformed himself on the battlefield. You must know that an evil dragon that can breathe fire, use magic, and is also invulnerable appeared on the battlefields of the Middle Ages. Just like an armed helicopter facing unarmed farmers, this is a one-sided massacre, which can greatly boost the morale of one's own side.
However, Duke William did not. His performance was very ordinary. It is not that he is not strong, but he could have been more powerful. At least if he wanted to, he was no less powerful on the battlefield than Achilles in Greek mythology. Performance on the battlefield.
At least in the battlefields of Greek mythology, the enemies Achilles faced were heroes famous in hundreds of city-states, descendants of Zeus and the gods. Many of them were demigods favored by the gods. Many heroes were not necessarily good at martial arts. Not as good as Achilles, but countless heroes are not as immortal as Achilles.
It seems that he was a little reckless when he used the power of the Dragon Talisman to sweep the battlefield. Perhaps it was because Patrick regarded this power as a gift from the Celtic gods, and the Celtic gods regarded the Dragon Talisman as a gift from King Arthur. With this wonderful misunderstanding, William was at peace.
King Arthur is a student of Merlin, and Merlin is the most powerful magician in Celtic history. Therefore, even if King Arthur leaves any magical magic props to William, it can be accepted by everyone. The power and props of the old gods In this world, it is not too much to say too much, but it is not too much to say too little.
"Long time no see, Sir William!"
Morgan Le Fay appeared in front of William with a beautiful face that looked exactly like King Arthur. She was wearing a red evening dress, with a string of white pearls on her chest to show the whiteness of her skin, and a necklace on her head. Wearing a small crown and carrying a bag in your hand will make you look like a lady attending a grand party.
"Long time no see, Fairy Morgan, long time no see indeed."
William smiled and greeted Morgan Le Fay. Looking at Morgan Le Fay's beautiful face, he could vaguely see the shadow of King Arthur on her body. William, who was attracted by this beautiful shadow, was obsessed with it for a while.
"Mother!"
William couldn't help but murmur to himself. Now he has become a loner. Back in the past, his mother Hebe died, and the former blacksmith William was not his biological father. The only fairy Lily who once loved him was He has been driven back to the fairy palace of the goddess Eliu.
He has no real relatives, no friends, and no lover in this world. Even King Arthur, whom he admired and admired, was abducted by Duke William. Especially since he already knew who King Arthur belonged to in his heart, this made him even more melancholy. .
"What did you say?" Morgan Le Fay asked.
"No, it's nothing?" William came back to his senses and showed a gentle and polite smile. There was a hint of gloominess on his face, and he stood up again in the midst of decadence.
Regardless of whether King Arthur has him in his heart, or who King Arthur has in his heart, this has nothing to do with William. King Arthur does not love him as William or loves another William, and it does not affect his desire to marry King Arthur, because only in this way can he marry Duke William. legitimate fight for the British throne.
Although King Arthur was his mother in name, in order to prevent Britain from falling into the hands of bad people, he had no choice but to disown her.
"Are you ready to rescue my sister?" Morgan Le Fay asked.
"It's not ready yet. I've sent envoys to the Low Countries to recruit mercenaries, but I don't have the magic props that Duke William can use to get soldiers when he snaps a photo. Building a magic cannon also requires events. I'm more anxious than you are. That is not only your sister, but also my relative."
William honestly said that he now has the treasures of the ancient Kingdom of Erin and the treasures of Hamna Tower. The most important thing William lacks is money, but the problem is that he cannot win the war solely by relying on mercenaries.
For example, if he wanted Knight Lane from his hometown to help fight a war, he would not only need monetary rewards, but also territory, titles, and official positions. He could give out money, but he could not give out land, and he was not a stingy man with titles, but the problem was Titles are tied to land.
King Arthur made William the Earl of Avalon and gave him an Apple Island. William, as king, made him a knight and a baron, so it wouldn't be impossible for several villages to be given away.
As king, William could not create a duke or earl, but ruling one or two villages and hundreds of people would be fatal.
As a king who deceives his vassals like this, he really thinks that his subordinates will not rebel.
Duke William led the Norman knights to fight against England. To the British, this was like the Qing Dynasty fighting against the Ming Dynasty. Duke William took his Eight Banners army to the English enclosure for horse racing. He wanted to take a bite of meat. In history This is indeed what the Lord did. Therefore, the knights of Normandy did not need money to fight for their lords. What they wanted was hereditary land.
For the Irish people in the small country of Zuer, they are collectively crazy and want to conquer England to divide their land. Who has ever heard that North Korea dared to use force against the Ming Dynasty?
The Kingdom of Ireland was upgraded later. During the original Middle Ages and British rule, the British king always regarded himself as the Duke of Ireland.
In order to emphasize his claim to the British throne and compete with his competitors, William deliberately proclaimed himself king out of a sense of confrontation. In fact, many European countries do not necessarily recognize his title as king.
It doesn't matter if the Emperor Shan Gao entertains himself far away. Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period when the King of Chu proclaimed himself king, no one cared. But once he appeared in the international community, it didn't work. The Central Plains countries headed by the Jin Dynasty called you Chuzi. What else can you do?
Before the Kingdom of Korea was destroyed, the King of Korea proclaimed himself emperor. Look who took it seriously.
William is in trouble now. If it weren't for the rules of the world, he would have wanted to run to the battlefield alone and wipe out Duke William's Norman army, just like in the last Greek world.
