Stray Chapter 14: Transition
In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.
The whole of Britain really seems to be crumbling, and the building is about to collapse. After all, the kingdom of the past has completely collapsed. It is not even as simple as being torn apart, but completely wiped out all at once.
All the savings and heritage, including the former nobles and the most elite soldiers, have been completely consumed in the battle of Kamran.
So in the face of the barbarian aggression, the current Britain cannot organize any decent resistance at all. Although Artoria is running around and even spread the legend of the knight princess, she is alone It’s impossible to be busy.
As a matter of course, she couldn’t save everyone.
But it is precisely because of this that the legends that she caused by running around did not attract anyone’s attention. Even the foreign races who came across the sea didn’t pay much attention to this matter, thinking that it might be the British It was the last stubborn resistance of some of the remaining knights on the island.
This kind of thing happens from time to time, or happens everywhere, because there are always some stubborn knights who are unwilling to accept the reality and unwilling to submit to the colonial rule, so they have launched a rather stubborn resistance.
But this small setback, within the expectations of the Saxons, they did not expect to swallow the entire island at once, even if King Arthur suddenly passed away, Camelot Subs fall apart such a good thing.
It’s pretty good now—
They can move steadily and step by step, nibbling away the British people’s territory bit by bit, taking their arable land, occupying their forests and rivers, until the British people are completely wiped out.
As for these sporadic resistances, this is a very normal thing, but those so-called knights who are dead brains can’t make any waves at all. Anyway, the strongest round tables have long since fallen apart.
As long as you don’t encounter heroes who transcend human beings, and those extraordinary powers who have the protection of holy swords and can single-handedly slay the legendary dragons and demon pigs, then there will be no problems.
Compared with the turbulent and chaotic Britain as a whole, there is a stark contrast to the new hope nurtured in the depths of the island.
It is an unexplored wilderness inside the island. Because the dangerous geographical environment has become a natural protective barrier, neither the current Saxons nor the former British people have been involved. through this area.
And just before everyone noticed, the kingdom of Camelot, which was reborn from the ashes, was rebuilt here in full swing.
Although there is only one town with a scale of more than 10,000 people, no one will think that it is the prototype of a new kingdom… However, this is the truth, and it is undoubtedly the so-called “orthodox”.
In this era, Merlin, the only magician of flowers who can see this matter through the clairvoyance of the present, is currently locked in Avalon. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with no appeal.
I don’t know how long it will take for the foreseeable future to have a chance to get out of trouble.
In addition, he didn’t care at all, didn’t think about what to do, just watched with pure curiosity, so there is no one in this era who can stop this from happening.
……
……
In a certain forest outside the new city, a brick burning factory near a clay mine is running at full capacity, and thick black smoke is constantly rising.
George, with the help of the workers, worked hard to move the sturdy bricks, quickly filled them into the cargo box behind a freight carriage, and then quickly got into the driver’s seat, took the Take the reins.
The sturdy packhorse quickly dragged the carriage forward and drove along the smooth road. He looked back at the burning brick factory where black smoke was coming out. After thinking about it, he felt that You shouldn’t have to remind your son every time.
That kid isn’t that stupid yet, he’s always been smart.
Relaxed, he also decisively said nothing, and drove away without looking back.
He was originally just a farmer in a remote village, but his craftsmanship has become a little unfamiliar in the past few years. Because of years of fierce work, it seems that nothing can be grown on the barren land, which is really disappointing.
I was forced to enter the forest and became a hunter. Although there is still no guarantee and instability, unstable income is better than stable and no income. In addition, Wang has been buying food from Europe through the Knights of the Lake. survived with difficulty.
The situation did not improve much after that. First, rumors of the princess’ infidelity came out, and then Lancelot, the knight of the lake, treasoned the country. Camelot, who was not very good, seemed to be cursed after that They are all going downhill.
There is basically no need to say what happened next. The legend of the king of knights was ended, the kingdom fell apart, and the whole of Britain was plunged into the turmoil of blood and fire. When the village was slaughtered and destroyed, George and his son were rescued by the knight Ji, who was like a goddess.
He couldn’t describe his gratitude to that knight girl in words, just like he couldn’t describe in words what kind of unparalleled skills the other party had, so easily slaughtered all the Saxons at that time.
In short, George and his son, like other villagers, chose to go to the deepest part of the island and start life again.
He thought it was going to be a very difficult journey, everything would have to start all over again, break away from civilization, and drink blood like a savage. But as long as you can get out of the war and stay away from those robber races that come across the sea, it is worth it.
It’s just that it may have been all the hard work, and since then everything seems to be starting to get better.
That mighty knight maiden seems to be the lord of this place, she manages everything neatly under a wise magician, everything is arranged in a rigorous and orderly manner, whether it is a wide road or a clean the ground, or a tidy house…
Whether it has been built, is being reclaimed, or has just begun to be planned, it can make people feel that the lord has already planned, and therefore people gain hope beyond words.
Everyone has arrangements, even disabled people can do some work within their ability, and will not be abandoned if they say that people are worthless. Of course, in this case, no one dares to try to be lazy and slippery.
To be the first person to eat crabs in this kind of thing is how mindless it is to be able to do it.
George went through a short training and assault training. Because he got started quickly, he was assigned to manage a recently built brick burning factory. He and his son led a group of workers at full speed every day. production of bricks.
There are many people like him, who have been assigned to various novel jobs, not only in brick-burning factories, but also in sawmills, smelters, etc. He never thought there would be So many novelties.
In addition, things in the production field can be centralized through units such as “factories”, and then unified planning for production, distribution and scheduling of various materials, this is something he has never thought about before.
However, the effect is very significant. After all, it is only by concentrating efforts that great things can be done. Since this time, although the number of people in the town has just exceeded 10,000, the burst of productivity has directly surpassed any major city-state in Britain in the past. .
Although George doesn’t quite understand this, he can feel the thriving vitality from the bottom of his heart, which makes him more motivated to devote himself to construction and production, racing against time to build a beautiful home.
He doesn’t know or understand a lot of things, and he thinks it’s very novel, but he can see with his own eyes how the town is changing day by day, increasing in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and supplies in all aspects are rapidly increasing growth of.
These are all places that can make people feel at ease, especially in this turbulent era, it is even more valuable.
People’s hearts and order are just like this condensed bit by bit.
However, George also knows that those novel things that he does not understand and do not understand often have a great effect, just like the bricks and cement that he is responsible for, which can be used to build stronger and stronger houses generally.
The same is true for other things. The magician who is in charge of everything naturally has his purpose.
Like those magic puppets called “golems” that have appeared recently, many of them are made from a large amount of clay and rock they produce and mine. They are not only powerful, but also patient, which can be said to be the most ideal. guards or workers.
As the carriage moved forward, the outline of the town surrounded by tall log fences could already be seen ahead, and George could just see a group of tall figures walking back and forth on the road ahead.
It is those magic puppets called “golems”. Their numbers have been increasing since their appearance, and they have begun to take over the heaviest related work, such as road construction and mining, which greatly increases efficiency. .
In the beginning, George still felt very distrustful of these terrible puppets-
After all, the three-meter-high body is combined with materials. The weight alone can directly crush a horse. The weight of a fist is close to 100 pounds. Slash damage…
It would be a disaster if this kind of thing suddenly went crazy, and George’s thoughts were normal, just like modern people’s fear of some machines.
But after discovering the efficiency of these magic puppets, everyone fell in love with these golems… After all, who doesn’t like a working machine that is infinitely powerful, doesn’t complain, doesn’t get tired, and can run continuously? ?
It is said that with just one such golem, the efficiency and speed of twenty people or seven mules are added all at once.
It’s a pity that this is a creation that the master magician can make. Most people probably have no chance to get such a magic puppet…
Driving past the group of golems and walking on a smoother road, George subconsciously looked at the plains on both sides outside the city, and found that the cultivated land was indeed much larger than what he saw the day before yesterday.
Many people and golems are busy digging irrigation ditches over there, and the amazing thing is that a large green area has appeared, and some wheat seedlings have already grown.
