I, the sword in the stone, want to take the knight king

The “Justice” Way of War

The leisurely time passed quietly with the smile on Artoria’s face.

At some point, the leaves in the forest had completely fallen, leaving only a bare tree trunk. And those gray sparrows looking around while hopping on the tree trunks.

The water flow in the creek has also been reduced by two-thirds, and there is even a vague tendency to dry up.

At the same time, there are fewer and fewer food and resources that can be collected in the wild. Even if it’s just a pile of withered and yellow hay, those children have to walk a long distance and spend a whole day working hard.

But Arturia was unwilling to let them go too far.

For these half-grown children, this perilous mountain forest is still too dangerous after all.

In this season that is getting colder and colder, everything stops growing. Villagers living in the mountains and forests are not the only ones who need to find resources.

Those beasts who have been hungry for a long time hidden in the mountains also want to find a chance to have a full meal.

Therefore, when Arturia, who held the holy sword, helped these children for the fourth time, after repelling a ferocious black bear that looked terrifying——

“From today, don’t go out to collect.”

In order to ensure the safety of these children, the wise king made a decision.

Looking at the supplies piled up in the warehouse and cellar, Artoria took it for granted that they had been able to survive this winter safely.

Therefore, she issued an order to “close the village”. Let all production activities be carried out in the village.

This is actually a very correct thing.

After all, not hunting in winter is a Celtic custom passed down from generation to generation.

At the same time, the villagers who have accumulated so many resources. It happened to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to repair the village where they lived.

Knead straw ropes, cut animal skins, repair houses, make furniture…

The ingenious grandmas continue to pass on the craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation to their descendants.

With their joint efforts, this small village, which was originally very simple, has gradually become full and lively.

Isolated from the rest of the world, they enjoy this very simple, but exceptionally peaceful life.

Even, they take it for granted. Under Arturia’s protection, they can live in this paradise-like place for generations.

However, not long after.

When Kai, who had been away from the village for more than a month, brought a group of Wuyang Wuyang people back to this village that has undergone earth-shaking changes:

“Are you directly robbing a tribe?”

Looking at the team of at least two or three hundred people, Arturia felt a headache.

I can tell.

Kai, who has been out wandering for nearly two months, is really having fun.

He completely disregarded the agreement Arturia made with him before, and fumbled all the way to the border between the north and the Picts, and then reluctantly turned his gun and returned to this village.

But this time, he also posed a big problem for Artoria:

“That’s food for three hundred people!”

“Where can I find so much food?”

…

This is an almost unsolvable problem.

In fact, when Artoria decided to use this “start from scratch” method to build her own kingdom, she was destined to face this problem.

“As the mystery goes by, there will be less and less food in this land.”

This is a fact that Merlin told her and absolutely cannot be changed.

And in order to obtain more food, enough to feed their own subjects.

Artoria must aim her weapons at people from other countries.

Since resources are limited, as a king, she must give priority to protecting her own people as much as possible.

“The so-called king is the existence of killing more people in order to protect people.”

Arturia had already had such an awareness.

But now, when Arturia was really faced with such a choice, she hesitated a little.

“Is it because of uneasiness of conscience?”

Shaar asked.

At this moment, he could clearly feel Artoria’s depressed mood.

He could understand Arturia’s feelings.

After all, “Da Yi Wu Haze” is Arturia’s kingly way.

And in order to compete for limited resources, start wars at will… What is the difference between such an approach and those robbers brought in by the humble king Vutigeng?

“Unjust War” – Arturia thinks so.

But at the same time, Char had a different opinion:

“Actually, I think you can change your thinking.”

Shaar thought for a while, and said very seriously:

“We should still have some food, enough for these people to last for a while?”

This is an indisputable fact.

Because Artoria attaches great importance to the resource of “food”, she has prepared three warehouses for storing food.

And, holding deadChar of the Icicle of Death will also replenish ice and snow for those warehouses regularly to ensure the freshness of those foods to the greatest extent.

After more than two months of preparation, the three warehouses were already packed to the brim. If it was only used by the villagers before, it might last half a year.

But now, even if this unprioritized Kai suddenly brought back so many people, relying on the food reserves in those warehouses, it was enough for them to spend a month safely.

“And for us, this month is also a crucial month.”

Looking at the still confused Artoria, Shaar sighed helplessly, and could only tell his plan completely:

“Then take out the weapons and armor your father prepared for you, and prepare for training.”

“The number of people does not need to be too many, a hundred people will do.”

“As for the training objects… let’s use other monsters in the forest as enemies.”

At this moment, because Arturia stayed in this area for a long time.

The large ferocious beasts and monsters nearby are already very rare.

But if you are willing to go farther and search carefully, you will be able to find traces of their presence.

In Xiaya’s eyes, those monsters that are powerful but lack much wisdom are probably the best training targets.

He wants to use those magical beasts to hone the courage of those recruits.

At the same time, the meat of those monsters can also continue the life of this gradually growing village.

“That way, half of winter is already over.”

“And we also have a troop that cannot be called ‘valiant’, but is strong enough.”

“You don’t want to take these soldiers and start an unjust war?”

“no problem!”

“We can take these soldiers and become mercenaries.”

“I think those British lords who have been harassed by the Saxons or Picts all the year round, shouldn’t mind taking out some insignificant food or supplies to solve the big troubles that continue to plague them?”.
