I Will Always Be a Partner of Justice

"That...Your Excellency Arthur, there are fifteen hundred people." Bedivere reminded.

"I know. I mean, I brought [-] people with me, and I'm stationed in the forest, so our total is [-] people." Shirou said.

"Yes... that's right." Bedivere nodded.

Arturia: "?????"

Arturia was dumbfounded.

My king, where did we get [-] soldiers?

"Anyway, if someone asks you how many people came to Camelot, you just say [-]. Because whether it's your army or my army, it's our Camelot army." Shirou patted Bedivere's shoulder, said with a smile.

"I...I see, Sir Arthur!" Bedivere nodded.

Shirou turned his head, looked at the Archbishop of Cantreber, and said, "Archbishop of Cantreber, can I trouble you to gather the leading knights from other kingdoms outside the city? Since they are here for the purpose of crusade, let's go on like this , it’s not good. Although I don’t have much talent, I’m still willing to try to lead the combined army.”

"Okay, Arthur." The Archbishop of Cantreber nodded and left happily.He wanted to unify the army a long time ago, but unfortunately no one could do it. Now that Shirou intends to unify, he is naturally happy.In this way, it is possible to attack the mountain giant and the workshop behind it as soon as possible.

"Bedwell, you should move our army out of the city first." Shirou said.

Shirou didn't ask Bedivere directly for military power.Because this is unavoidable.The system of ancient Britain was different from that of the Chinese Empire. If the Chinese Empire needed soldiers, they could just use the military talismans.However, there was no military system in ancient Britain. It was an army system under the aristocratic system.

As a king, Shirou can command the big nobles, and the big nobles can command the small nobles, and the small nobles can dispatch troops.This is the enfeoffment system of the nobles, one ranks one level, but this also creates a situation where my vassals' vassals are not my vassals. This is also the reason why Western kingdoms have often been overthrown by powerful vassals .

Therefore, if you want to be a king in the West, if you want long-term stability, you must find a way. During the period when the aristocratic class occupies the dominant position, find a way to take back all the power without touching the sensitive nerves of the other party. centralization.

"I understand, Lord Arthur!" Bedivere also left.

"Let's wait in the suburbs first." Shirou said, and left the church with Artoria, Gawain, and that Golmos.

On the way, Artoria approached Shirou and asked in a low voice, "My king, where did we get [-] soldiers?"

Shirou replied with a smile: "As long as no one exposes the truth, I say yes, then there will be."

"This...isn't this a fraud?" Arturia was troubled, "This...isn't this against justice?"

"Justice in the mouth is not real justice, Al." Shirou said: "Justice, it's not enough to talk about it, it needs to be practiced."

Artoria thought about it, then took out the notebook from her pocket and started to record.

Chapter 44 The Pure White Knight 【Third】

Shirou and the others came to the outskirts of the castle, and after waiting for a while, Bedivere brought the army over.

Without waiting for Bedivere to recommend him, Shirou stood on a big rock by himself and said loudly: "Men of justice, I am Arthur, the incarnation of the British red dragon, the king of destiny!"

Shirou started introducing himself in front of the army.

But this time, his speech was not like before when a large number of people stared at him dryly. On the contrary, when he said Arthur's name.

The morale of the soldiers was shaken, and discussions arose.

"Is that the rumored Arthur who pulled out the sword in the stone?"

"It is rumored that they have set foot in every city in Camelot!"

"I've heard rumors about Arthur. The poets said that they hunted down terrifying monsters, expelled evil magicians, and helped countless civilians recover the land that should belong to them from the nobles!"

"I heard that he will be king in Camelot soon!"

"I've wanted to see him for a long time! Rumor has it that he is an ideal king who will defeat the humble king Vortigern, drive away the Saxons, and bring us a better life!"

"The girl knight next to her is the rumored pure lily knight, right?"

"Not only that, they also have Archmage Merlin and that flirtatious Sir Kay in their team!"

……

There is no need for Shirou to inspire people's hearts, and there is no need to release light cannons to shock people's hearts. At this moment, the soldiers are already talking about it.

And this is what Shirou has achieved in the past two months.

They visited every city in Camelot, leaving behind many stories.

People sing their stories, and bards tell their stories.

Even the knights whom he first met in Tyler Bill were promoting his story in Camelot.

As a result, more people know Arthur, and more people know him.

Therefore, the scene in front of me was staged.

"Arthur! Arthur!"

"Arthur! Arthur!"

……

There is no need to prepare a touching speech, just call out Arthur's name and introduce yourself sincerely, and these soldiers shouted spontaneously.

They have heard too many stories about Arthur, and they have been looking forward to the successor of King Uther for too long.

Amidst the cheers, a questioning voice sounded: "Are you Arthur?"

Shirou turned his head to look, and Camelot's soldiers also turned their heads, looking angrily.

I saw the Archbishop of Cantreber walking over with several well-dressed knights, and behind them were soldiers with different flags.Obviously, the knights next to the Archbishop of Cantreber are the leaders of the various kingdoms, and those soldiers are the soldiers of the various kingdoms.
