They nodded and turned to leave the place.

Chapter 70 Internal and External Troubles 【Third Update】

Using Merlin's "Clairvoyance", Shirou chose the best path.

It took a day and a night on this road, and everyone's faces were full of tired looks, but Cornwall was already close at hand.

In order to enter Cornwall smoothly, Shirou had already dispatched Aggavin to inform the lord of Cornwall.

As for why it was Pai Agguiwen, not Bedivere.

Because some tasks are suitable for Aggawen, not for Bedivere.

Bedivere has a spirit of forgiveness and is easy to talk to, but at the same time, he also gives people a feeling of weakness and deception, but Agguiwen is different.

With that serious and gloomy face, the first impression is that he is not easy to bully.

The most important thing is that Shirou was afraid that the lord of Cornwall would not recognize him and would not let him in.

After all, after Cornwall became the territory of the Kingdom of Camelot, Baldwin and Ulface suppressed it one after another. Therefore, although the territory is large, it is poor.

Shirou was afraid that the Lord of Cornwall would have dissent, so he entrusted Agguiwen in advance to let the people enter the city by all means.

Although he has never dealt with Agguiwen, whether it is the legend or his knowledge of Xingyue, Shirou trusts this man who has not sworn allegiance to him.

And the result was just as Shirou thought, Agguwen completed his task perfectly, allowing Cornwall to open the city gate to welcome them in.

However, what surprised him was that the lord of Cornwall during this period was actually one of his future Knights of the Round Table, Geraint.

Geraint welcomes Shirou very much, but the people of Cornwall are different.

They are hostile to the people of Camelot, and even more hostile to the legendary son of Uther, "Arthur".

Of course, Uther destroyed the Kingdom of Cornwall and changed the kingdom to the territory of Camelot.Most importantly, during the reign of Baldwin and Ulfess, they continued to suppress Cornwall, resulting in extremely poor living standards in Cornwall.

At least, when Shirou looked at it at this moment, almost every Cornwallian was pale and emaciated, and there was hatred in their eyes.

He sighed deeply.

He knew that there was a thorny road ahead of him.

Geraint took Shirou to a beautiful castle.

This is the palace and castle of the King of Cornwall during the Kingdom of Cornwall, which can be said to be the last card of Cornwall.

But in fact, the interior is very simple, and it doesn't look like a palace at all.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

The administrative office as the lord is not bad.

Geraint took Shirou to meet the officials under him, as well as some important nobles in Cornwall.

Those officials greeted Shirou with smiles on their faces, but their eyes were full of vigilance.

Obviously, although Vortigern invaded, these officials and nobles were only afraid that Shirou would touch their cake.

Shirou wanted to settle down for the time being, but he didn't intend to do anything for the time being, he just said haha.

At this time, Bedivere came running and said to Shirou: "My king, the food brought by each family from Karn is not much, and it will last for five days at most. After five days, there will be nothing to eat."

Shirou nodded, then looked at Geraint, and asked, "Sir Geraint, how much food is left in the lord's warehouse? Can you borrow it from me for now?"

Geraint said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. As a lord loyal to Camelot, I'm willing to give everything I have for Camelot. But I'm sorry, the food is originally from Cornwall. problem."

Geraint took Shirou to the castle's grain warehouse.

There is only a light layer of oats and rye in it.

"That's all the cornwall lord has," said Geraint.

Bedivere couldn't help complaining, and said, "Is that just a little? This...isn't it enough for a thousand people a day?"

"Bedwell!"

Shirou scolded Bedivere, then looked at Geraint, and said, "Please don't take it to heart, Sir Geraint. Bedivere is a noble knight who loves Camelot just like you."

"Your Majesty, I didn't take it seriously. It's just——, this is indeed the status quo in Cornwall." After a pause, Geraint said with a wry smile: "Since Cornwall became a territory from a kingdom, it has been It's always been like that."

Geraint explained the situation in Cornwall.

Shirou felt bitter in his heart.

This situation is very bad.

Because of the high-handed policies of Baldwin and Ulface, and because Cornwall is rich in minerals, Cornwall is full of bandits, and at the same time there are not enough soldiers to handle them.

The most important thing is that the high-pressure policy caused people to only think about stealing mines and selling them at a low price, but did not think about self-sufficiency. As a result, the surrounding farmland was abandoned, the food production was not high, and there was not enough food. is a common thing.

Even the lords who taxed grain had little grain.

Shirou brought more than [-] people over.

These more than [-] people are more than [-] mouths and stomachs.Although people have brought their own food, they will run out of food in a short time.

The internal land is deserted, banditry is rampant, and the people are hostile... Externally, Vortigern and dead disciples come at any time.
