Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 14 I have long been famous in Britain
"You are truly a righteous man, Lord Kelar." An Ansa asked hesitantly, "Will you...will you forgive me?"

This is the confession culture unique to the Ansa people, or the Christian culture. Kelar did not find it surprising, but was a little surprised that these Ansa people actually confessed to him?

Shouldn't you confess to your God?
Kelar's answer was always the same: "As long as you did not come to Maple Ridge voluntarily, and as long as you did not voluntarily harm the lives of others, I am willing to forgive you."

"Killing is unlucky. If you don't want to be killed, then don't kill."

"This is my teaching, you need to remember it."

After distributing the supplies, Kelar turned around and saw that the Ansa people had already left one after another. Now it was time to deal with internal issues.

The conflicts within Maple Ridge did not disappear, but were forcibly suppressed by Kelar.

As a lord, Kelar forcefully recruited the knights' slaves for his own use, which greatly infringed upon the rights and interests of the knight class. This can be said to be an alternative reform.

The reason they did not resist was because Kelar's majesty was too heavy.

But if Kelar doesn't deal with it now, this conflict will definitely erupt in the future.

In other words, they are now preparing to counterattack.

A knight stood up and questioned Kelar's order again: "Sir Kelar, please forgive me for being blunt, but if you don't kill them, they will come a second time, a third time. This kind of thing will never end!"

"Besides, why did you give Maple Ridge's supplies to the enemies who invaded us?" The knight continued, "These food and dried meat can also be rewarded to the slaves to reward their heroic fighting."

Another knight stepped forward and said, "Aren't you afraid that Maple Ridge will never have peace in the future if you do this?"

"This time it's supplies for 2,000 people. Considering the wealth of Maple Ridge, it's insignificant to take out these supplies. But what if it's for 20,000 or 200,000 people? Do we have to take out these supplies as well?" The third knight stepped forward and joined the team that questioned Kelar's order.

Kelar looked at the knights who were almost connected as one and knew that this was their counterattack. While all the knights were gathered together, they tacitly chose to unite in order to safeguard their common interests.

Only a small number of knights were loyal to Kelar, some because of Kelar's bravery, and some because of their family's generations of loyalty.

"First of all, regarding the first question, they will definitely come up with it a second, third, or even countless times. As long as the white dragon of disaster still exists and as long as the Ansa people have not gained true dignity and freedom, this kind of thing will never stop."

Kelar answered this question in the affirmative: "But they will surrender to me again and again. A righteous person has no enemies. They will not risk their lives and choose to fight with me."

"Because I am not a useless and kind person, I, Kelar, am a hero famous throughout Britain."

"Secondly, give the supplies of Maple Ridge to the Angsa people. These are all my property and have nothing to do with you."

"I will only give food to the Angsa people who surrender to me and accept my teachings." Kelar finally said: "If there are really 20,000 or 200,000 people who surrender to me, then the King of the North will no longer be a concern."

Two hundred thousand Ansa surrendered to Kerala...

Humble king?

What is a humble king? Are you talking to me?

"As for you not understanding me..."

Kelar paused, and said with dignity: "It doesn't matter! I, Kelar, don't need to be understood by others, but you must obey my law. This is my teaching. Not only the Ansa people need to obey it, but the Celts must also obey it!"

"If you do not obey my laws, I will expel you."

"Finally, let me tell you again, there are no slaves in Maple Ridge. I promise that all slaves who have made contributions will become free citizens, and I am also preparing to enact a bill to abolish slavery. You still need to remember the laws set by me, Kelar." Kelar does not need to be understood. A person with great desires is destined to go against common sense.

Moreover, he also believed that what he did was right. Isn't human life more precious than those foods?
Duke Mu of Qin, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, had three hundred savages from the horse-eating tribe steal his horses. By the time the Qin army captured them, nine of them had already been eaten.

The ministers of Qin advised Duke Mu to kill all 300 horse-eating barbarians...

Yes, in order to buy nine horses, three hundred people had to be killed. This was the truth of that era, the truth of the Spring and Autumn Period with its various schools of thought.

Duke Mu laughed and said, “I would rather lose a horse for a man than kill a person for a horse.”

Duke Mu not only did not blame them, he also rewarded the horse-eating people with his own wine.

Finally, in the battle with the Jin army, when Duke Mu was about to be defeated by the Jin army, it was these three hundred horse-eating savages who rushed out and attacked the Jin army fearlessly to repay Duke Mu's kindness, which eventually enabled the Qin State to defeat the giant Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Perhaps Duke Mu did not expect that he would be saved by just three hundred people.

If you haven't reached that point, how will you know whether your kindness can work?

When times are tough, one's loyalty is revealed and recorded in history.

"But……"

One knight wanted to resist with some reluctance, but was held back by another. He suddenly came to his senses and realized that he was not facing Kelar alone, but Kelar and his lord's guard of nearly three thousand people.

Serfs who were not armed and had no leader were useless slaves even if they gathered together. However, with the support of Kelar, the serfs were no longer serfs, but the lord's guards.

In other words, Kelar no longer relies on the knight class as the only military force. With guns, Kelar can force everyone to obey his laws.

Because only he, Kelar, is right, even if he is not understood by others, he is right.

If they insist on depriving the lord's guards of their free citizen status, the conflict will be directly intensified, and will eventually lead to a fight between the knights and the lord's guards.

And whoever Kelar helps will win.

The knights knew very well that Kelar might not... no, he would definitely not help them.

These slaves were freed from slavery by Kelar and were promoted to the status of soldiers. This was a huge class leap, so they were very loyal to Kelar.

Moreover, the knights are still considered the upper class, but their power and interests have been partially taken back by Kelar as the lord. Their status and resources are still countless times that of civilians.

The lord's guard is composed of serfs. There is no manor that produces money, and all these people need to be supported by Kelar. The knights are waiting for the day when Kelar goes bankrupt. When the time comes, these people will be disbanded by Kelar and will still become slaves.

Thinking of this, most of the knights chose to endure. Facing such a strong and powerful lord, they were helpless.

"Kailar, if the Ansa people come again next time, it may not be so easy."

Morgan's cold voice appeared in his mind. Kelar was not surprised and replied calmly: "I know this, but it doesn't matter how many people come."

"Because I'm Kelar."
