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

: The Shackles on the Soul

The time is late summer.

For Xia, this summer seemed to pass a little too quickly.

The scene of going out with Artoria seems to be still yesterday.

However, when he came back to his senses again. Summer is almost over, and the people in the kingdom are preparing for the second harvest day.

Moreover, it is different from the previous small-scale harvest day.

This harvest day is the most important harvest day in the kingdom.

After half a year of hard cultivation, the most important and widely planted crop in the kingdom——wheat, is ready to be harvested.

Before potatoes and corn were cultivated on a large scale, these crops that reflected the golden light under the sun were still the most important rations for the people of the kingdom.

In order to be able to process these grains in the shortest possible time, Morgan directly stopped all affairs except normal business.

Everyone except Arturia, including her administrator, participated in the harvesting of grain.

But of course.

Although Morgan did participate in the 05 Harvest event, but her extremely elegant harvesting method… the significance of the show is far greater than the actual significance.

In contrast, Shaar, who is manipulating Arturia’s body, is much simpler and more straightforward.

every timeAt night, he would bring a little Saxon girl who had changed into a suit and was obviously well-dressed, and would randomly appear in a village in the kingdom.

He said that on behalf of the gods, he would bring spiritual condolences to these hard-working people.

“Come on, Dinah.”

“Dance for everyone.”

…

This is a premeditated political show.

No one knows exactly when Shaar started planning.

However, when Dinah, dressed in a costume, danced with the dancing flames.

Even the most picky Celtics had to offer their applause.

“Papa papa—”

Of course, Xia must admit to these sparse applause.

These people are willing to pay for Dinah’s dance, and the 80% chance is because of his “King” face.

After all, in order to create momentum for this little guy. As the “King”, he personally stood up for him.

Under such circumstances, even those who are most dissatisfied with those Saxon slaves know that they must not disappoint him at this time.

——They don’t want their king to return to the ruthless and disrespectful appearance before.

In contrast, although the current Wang is a little unreasonable, he is also more real, and can make people feel her emotions.

Seeing the smile on her face, people will feel extremely at ease.

Everyone understands that as long as Wang is still smiling, then their future has nothing to worry about.

And, then again.

Their king said that this is a “sympathy performance”.

What is the specific meaning of “condolence performance”, these old men don’t understand.

But they knew that the king always had them in his heart.

Even if you want to watch dancing, you have to take them to watch it together.

Instead of sitting alone in your own kingdom, enjoying it alone.

This alone is enough to move these ordinary farmers and herdsmen so much that they want to swear allegiance to Artoria to the death.

And at the same time, on the other side.

Char actually didn’t care what these Celtics were thinking.

After all, the target of this show is not them at all.

He just needs an excuse, an excuse that can send Dinah to those Saxons in a fair and honest way, to show the strength of his “model”.

And now, after three days of preparation.

When Xiaya led Dinah, they visited all the villages in the kingdom.

He also finally had the opportunity to set his sights on the “forbidden zone” guarded by loyal soldiers in the depths of the forest.

“Remember, Dinah.”

“When you’re inside, don’t say anything, don’t ask anything.”

“You just have to concentrate on dancing.”

…

After spending about half an hour, Xia took Dinah and successfully found the first camp.

This is a military camp with a population of 360. In addition to the 10 guarding soldiers, there are 50 Celtic soldiers from other kingdoms and 300 captured Saxon slaves.

In terms of size, this is already a very large village.

But this camp is really rudimentary.

Looking around, there is only one roofed, regular house.

This is for the rest of the ten soldiers.

Other than that, there are more than a dozen rudimentary ones, just randomly piled up with wood, branches, and weeds, which can only be regarded as “stable” residences at best.

Every twenty or thirty slaves live in such a large stable. Without any mattress, whoever is on the cold and wet ground.

Here, dry grass has become a tight commodity.

And when the soldiers stationed here learned that their king was going to hold some “consolation performance” here.

“call–”

Finally, a raging flame was ignited.

But unfortunately, this raging flame can only illuminate the faces of ten people at 400.

Behind the ten soldiers, there were three hundred and fifty figures hidden in the darkness.

They are ragged or even naked.

They were emaciated – in this cruel slave camp, they were only allowed to eat once a day, but had to do twice as much work as normal people.

Moreover, even if it was just that one meal, it was just to ensure that they would not starve to death.

There was no expression on their faces, and their eyes were dull, showing an extremely numb look.

At this moment, although they are still alive, they are actually dead.

The behavior of these people frightened Dinah.

Looking at these people in front of her, she couldn’t help recalling the memory that she didn’t want to look back.

——She once watched helplessly how her people were hanged on the tree one by one.

Even, even she herself accepted such a cruel punishment.

She had experienced despair, and even death.

But now, looking at the slaves in the darkness before her, Dinah felt that the rope was wrapped around her neck again.

She stretched out her hand subconsciously, stroking the strangle mark that had disappeared, but had been imprinted deep in her soul, and probably could never be erased.

Right now, she’s almost in so much pain that she can’t breathe.
