Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Furthermore, there are over a thousand Albion soldiers in the surrounding area, so the situation is still not particularly optimistic.

However, while still searching for the "Dragon's Feather Robe," Saito and Louise have successfully leveled up.

Among them, the sword of wisdom "Druflinger" in Saito's hands has returned to its original form and can now absorb magic from five systems except for the Void.

Louise has also gained a basic understanding of the magic of nothingness, and is able to use the magic in the "Book of Progenitors' Prayer" at crucial moments.

During their search for the "Dragon's Feather Robe," the two gained a lot of goodwill from each other because of Viscount Walder. Saito even gave up the chance to return to the original world for Louise's sake.

On the main battlefield, Louise used the "Dragon's Feather Robe" to defeat Albion's dragon knight force. Louise also used up more than ten years of accumulated mental energy to unleash a powerful explosion that destroyed Albion's magic airship, thus securing Tristine's victory.

Later, they learned from Marshal Gramont that in order to win this victory, Henrietta and Wood volunteered to act as bait to lure away Albion's main force.

They fought with 30,000 against 30,000, and yet they won with such difficulty. None of the ministers of Tristine believed that Wood and his men, with only a thousand men, could withstand Albion's 40,000-strong army, and now, a night later, they were still alive and well.

Therefore, most of the Tristan nobles believed that they should not let down Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Princess, and should take Albion down completely before the main force of Albion returned.

However, Louise and Saito could not accept the orders from the noble ministers of Tristain, so they borrowed the familiar Hilfider from Tabitha and flew all the way to the top of the forest to jump down, which led to the scene described earlier.

Louise and Saito had been mentally prepared beforehand, since although the nobles of Tristain were scoundrels, they were also quite realistic in their words.

With just over a thousand soldiers facing an enemy army of forty thousand, the chances of survival seemed extremely slim by any measure.

However, Louise and Saito really did not expect that the main force of Albion, which had worried the nobles of Tristain, would be completely defeated here!

In particular, Louise had just learned from Henrietta and Queen Tristine that the reason they had been able to hold on until now was largely because of Wood.

Of the more than 30,000 enemy soldiers who died here in Albion, more than 20,000 died at the hands of Wood alone!

Sheffield clutched his severed arm, his face unusually grim as he looked at Louise and Saito before him.

If Gandalf and the Void Girl are here, it means that the task she assigned to that good-for-nothing Viscount Wald has failed.

Moreover, it is highly likely that Gandalf and his group have already found the legendary "Dragon's Feather Robe" and turned the tide of the battle.

The power of the God's Mind is suited for behind-the-scenes operations; in a direct confrontation, it would be no match for the God's Left Hand, Gandalf, or the Void User.

Although they still had several thousand remaining soldiers, Sheffield was worried that Torristine's reinforcements would catch up with them.

"You guys were lucky this time, but your luck can't stay this good forever."

Reeves Rachel is beyond saving; next time it'll be Gondaruff and you, flat-chested little girl.

Sheffield's retreat was very decisive. Saito and Louise originally wanted to pursue, but before leaving, Sheffield used some kind of magical artifact to control Albion's remaining soldiers, making them rush forward and drag the two of them away regardless of their own lives.

Only after Sheffield left, and after learning of the kingdom's defeat from Louise, did these Albion soldiers, who had regained control of their bodies, finally choose to surrender.

Henrietta and Queen Tristine, supported by Saijin and Louise, approached the dying Wood.

When he saw several familiar faces so close to him, Wood forced a bitter smile, and his vision gradually blurred...

The battle between Albion and Torristin caused a huge uproar throughout Halkkinia. However, to the surprise of the surrounding countries, it was the weak Torristin that ultimately emerged victorious.

With only 30,000 troops, they fought against an enemy army of 70,000, yet ultimately won a great victory.

Because the entire royal family of the Kingdom of Albion had died, when the armistice was signed, the new royal family of Albion, on the one hand, wanted to stabilize their own position, and on the other hand, was intimidated by the military strength of Tristine, and ultimately agreed to become a vassal state of Tristine.

With the war won, Tristine was naturally overjoyed. After all, in this era of war, ordinary people also longed to live in a powerful kingdom so that they could be spared from the ravages of war.

Tristine was originally just a small kingdom in the northwest of the continent of Halkkinia, but after this one battle, it became one of the most powerful nations.

The kingdom grew stronger and larger, and the common people were happy because they were safer, while the nobles were naturally overjoyed because their status and territory had increased.

The names of those who made great contributions in this battle are now widely discussed.

Henrietta's act of risking her life to act as bait, despite the danger, became widely known. After gaining enough prestige, Queen Tristan officially passed the throne to her.

Saito and Louise were also rewarded for finding the "Dragon's Feather Robe" and turning the tide.

Louise was made a court magician and granted the title of viscount, as she was the third daughter in the family and could not inherit the ducal title of the Valiers.

However, Louise earned this viscount title through her own merits, and it had nothing to do with her family.

The apprentice "Schwarrior" of the talented man was promoted to a full-fledged position, after all, he was allowed to form his own knightly order, and at the same time he was granted the noble title of "Baron".

To go from a commoner to a "baron" and even receive the honor of Chavalier—such a reward was outrageous, but considering that Saito single-handedly annihilated Albion's dragon knight force, no one could refute it.

What the nobles found unacceptable was that after Henrietta ascended to the throne, the rewards she bestowed upon her familiars were so extravagant that they made all the noble ministers of the Kingdom of Tristine envious, and even repeatedly voiced their opposition in strong emotion!

The nobles believed that it was utterly outrageous for a mere commoner to receive such an honor!

Chapter 125 Return, End of the Multiverse Simulation Journey

In medieval kingdoms, the titles of nobility were generally not different, consisting mainly of baron, baron, viscount, earl, and duke.

Generally speaking, for a nobleman to become a duke is already the highest level in the kingdom, and apart from the royal family, it is almost the pinnacle of nobility.

Undeniably, Wood played a crucial role in this war between Tristine and Albion.

First, he foresaw the intentions of the Kingdom of Albion, and then he provided clues that allowed Louise and the others to find the "Dragon's Feather Robe" and turn the tide.

In the very end, he single-handedly slew 20,000 enemies, sacrificing his life to protect Queen Tristine and Henrietta.

Henrietta's desire to reward Wood was entirely reasonable, and even the most stubborn nobles could find no reason to erase his achievements.

However, the gifts that the new Queen Henrietta bestowed upon Wood were simply outrageous.

First, Wood was rewarded for his military achievements. Henrietta bestowed upon Wood the title of "God of War of Tristine" and ordered the construction of statues of the God of War, including those of a thousand soldiers, throughout Tristine, so that the entire kingdom would remember the kindness of these men.

As a reward for his title, Wood was elevated from a commoner to a "King," a title even higher than a duke, and was given the surname "Tristin."

In other words, Wood will be called Wood Torristine, just like the other two remaining members of the royal family.

At the same time, because Wood came from a commoner background, the new Queen Henrietta paid more attention to commoners and ordered the establishment of sword and magic academies in various places to recruit and educate outstanding commoner children.

As for the academy's expenses, the kingdom will cover them all.

If it were the previous Tristan, the royal family would naturally be unable to afford such a large expense.

But things are different now. After defeating Albion, Tristín received a huge reparations and a large amount of Albion territory.

If it were the old Tristine, most of these acquired territories and financial reports would probably end up in the pockets of nobles.

However, this time the usual practice of sitting in a row and dividing the fruit did not occur.

Henrietta was very strict in her selection process, and she only rewarded those nobles who had contributed to the war. As for those nobles who did nothing, they not only received nothing, but their power was also somewhat diminished.

The territories and finances gained from the war were managed by the royal family, and the annual income from these territories was used to fund the commoners' academies in various regions.

Therefore, once the decision was announced, it was naturally welcomed by the people of Tristine, who even shouted "Long live Tristine!"

For ordinary people, this is truly a blessing.

But while the common people were happy, the nobles were naturally unhappy, because this directly harmed their interests.

The reason why nobles are so prestigious is that they can use magic, while commoners who are like lackeys cannot.

Many ordinary people are not lacking in magical talent, but they simply lack the means to learn it.

How can the nobles be happy that Henrietta is using the benefits that rightfully belong to them to help those commoners?

Therefore, a large number of nobles in Tristain rose up in rebellion, claiming that Henrietta was young and ignorant, and proposed that the original Queen of Tristain be allowed to regain the throne.

First, they bestowed the title of "God of War" upon a mere commoner, then they bestowed upon him the unprecedented title of "King," and now they are treating those commoners with such favor. Where does this leave the dignity of the nobles?

However, Henrietta, who is usually gentle, took a rather tough stance against the opposition from the nobles this time!

Whether it was Wood or Cai Ren, they were just ordinary commoners, yet they did far more than so-called nobles.

Henrietta always remembered that Wood seemed quite dissatisfied with the distinction between "commoners" and "nobles," and that all life should be equal.

Henrietta cannot eliminate the class distinction between "commoners" and "nobles" because that is how the world is.

Therefore, all she can do is to treat the common people well and follow Wood's will, which is probably the only thing she can do for Wood at present.

The majority of soldiers in Tristine were still commoners, and Henrietta's decisions were favorable to the commoners, so they naturally admired her and the nobles could not cause any trouble.

Furthermore, after the battle with Albion, Tristine established its reputation, and other kingdoms dared not seek magic from it for a short period of time, leaving the noble magicians with no place to use their skills.

A few years later, when more commoner swordsmen and commoner mages emerge from commoner academies in various places, the status of nobles will become even more awkward.

Unable to stand idly by and watch things unfold, the nobles eventually turned to the former Queen Tristene, hoping she would intervene and stop Henrietta's capricious behavior.

To the dismay of the nobles, Queen Tristine stated that Henrietta was now the queen, and that she should make the decisions herself.

As for those who questioned Wood's reward, Queen Tristine would simply retort, "If you had done the same thing, you would have received the same honor."

Although Henrietta's actions were too radical, Queen Tristine did not necessarily see them as a bad thing.

Through this battle with Albion, Queen Tristine finally saw the true colors of the nobles.

They all claim to fight for the honor of the nobility, but when trouble comes, they all transfer their families and assets to outsiders. There are less than one in ten who are truly willing to live and die with Tristine.

Now that we've seen Tristine turn the tide and defeat Albion, yet she wants to share in the spoils of victory without contributing anything herself, does she really think the Tristine royal family is stupid?

Was Henrietta's reward for Wood excessive? To put it bluntly, even Queen Tristine felt it was too little. If it weren't for Wood, there might not have been a Tristine in this battle.

If the nobles are envious, they can also try to defeat one of the ten thousand men.

Queen Tristine is now even grateful that she handed over the throne to Henrietta.

Otherwise, if some noble old ministers pleaded with her, she might actually soften her heart out of old friendship.

"It's a pity that Lord Wood died in battle. Otherwise, with such a familiar by his side, Henrietta would have been able to have an easier time."

Now, all we can do is hope that the Valiel family's maid and her familiar can do their best to assist Henrietta.
