Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

"Cough, cough, cough... I bit my tongue." Carloman quickly covered his mouth and wiped it roughly before saying to the attendants around him, "Pick up this letter for me. Don't lose a single piece. No one is allowed to read the contents."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Several attendants around nodded hurriedly, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, we promise not to read a single word - we can't read."

...That's true.

He turned around, quickly avoided everyone between the city lords, and ran to the private lounge nearby. He wiped his mouth with a towel and looked at the blood-stained towel for a long time. He put away the towel,

Then Carloman suddenly shouted outside in panic: "Guards, guards!"

"?! Your Majesty!"

Two guards trotted in from outside, and then the captain of the guards ran over through the corridor from further away.

"Several servants who served me today were secretly plotting a rebellion! - You, bring a team of people, and kill them all on the spot without asking the reasons! ! ! If your knife is so slow that they can't utter a word, you will be derelict in your duty!" It is obvious that this beautiful young brother is much more reliable than his elder brother.

“…!?!? Uh, is it…”

"...But considering that they have followed me for many years. Go, give this bag of gold to their family members. Just say that they... were playing extreme high-rise play and fell off the building together when they were aroused." Carloman took out a bag of gold coins from the cabinet and threw it on the ground. His voice became a little hoarse again: "Ah, I have an event tonight. Go find a doctor for me. Hurry! Find all the doctors."

"!?!yes!!"

In a sense, Xia Lulu's younger brother is much stronger than his older brother.

About thirty minutes later.

Although doctors in the Middle Ages were generally unreliable, the doctors in the Crusader Kings series can still accurately diagnose whether you have cancer, smallpox, bubonic plague, the Black Death, etc.

In fact, at this time, if you just find a knowledgeable doctor to chop off your penis, you can instantly get full health and full magic. Then find Lucifer to kill the devil, and you will be a hero again!

"Are you sure?" The handsome boy brother of the King of Handsome Boys asked his court doctor in a cold tone while lying on the bed.

"Yes... yes..." The imperial physician trembled, but still remained calm: "Indeed, it is indeed lung congestion, already..."

"…How long will it take?"

"Probably, if I were to make a conservative estimate, about half a year..."

"I understand. May God forgive my sins." In ancient times, being sick was definitely a punishment from God.

"Yes..." The imperial physician thought for a long time and said, "In fact, if conservative treatment is used at this time, it can last about half a year. As far as I know, the results of radical treatment are actually very good. As long as the (silencing) is removed, there is a chance of recovery..."

"Forget it, may God forgive me." Carloman was a simple materialist. He curled his lips in disdain and said, "Ah... Al, send a doctor for me. By the way, give him the gold - the original owner forgives me."

"Yes..." A guard picked up another bag of gold and waved his hand expressionlessly, "Please."

"Ah? Oh~" Seeing a big bag of gold, the doctor smiled like a flower, and his old face blossomed like a daisy: "What are you talking about? I just did what I should do. Oh, by the way, in fact, if I receive conservative treatment, I may live for a year... Uh!"

The sword pierced the heart. Perhaps there should be a sword-drawing divine song at this time.

"This bag of gold will be given to your family, don't worry." Carloman waved his hand and said to the doctor who was not dead yet, "My cancer is not considered as dereliction of duty, I will give you a work injury - Al, remember not to let the blood fly next time, it's really a bummer."

"Yes, my Lord

330

"The captain of the guards nodded, wiped his sword with the dead man's clothes, and waved to the other guards. The guards carried the body out, and a few others came to wipe the floor.

"write a letter."

The beautiful young man pondered for a moment and said, "Give it to my brother... Forget about the false ones. Just say that I am going to die. After I die, he will take my scepter and royal seal, and he will be the lord of East Frank."

"...? Master, what about your wife and children..."

"He will help me take care of it. My brother... is a fool, a cuckold, a waste - he likes to help others take care of their children the most." Carloman waved his hand indifferently and said, "You, take my scepter and royal seal in person and go to Aachen! Explain everything to him clearly."

"...Yes, Master, we..."

"Go, I want to... take a nap and cheer myself up... May the Lord forgive me."

From the crying tone at the end, we can tell that perhaps this young man is not as iron-blooded, as ruthless, and as straightforward in facing life and death as he appears to be.

But it's obvious.

History is like a cuckold. If it happens to you, you have to accept it, but if it happens to others, you have to warmly welcome it.

Historically, Carloman would die at a very young age, and his entire East Frankish Kingdom would be annexed to his brother's control. This incident would also become a public case, and of course the parties involved would no longer be able to speak for themselves.

168 Blood sacrifice to the blood god, great terror between life and death!

Levi, tribal system.

Xia Lulu, feudal system.

There is a huge difference between the two! According to the logic of Crusader Kings (mainly the second generation), it is to build a tribal main city, and all the feudal and rich buildings below are still preserved.

Livi's view on feudalism is basically that it doesn't matter. It's more advanced than the tribal system anyway - but the soldiers are too few and too weak! The ability is not enough. The most important thing is that the ruling foundation is not very high. It is good as a fixed source of income.

Under the rule envisioned by Levi, the tribal system is the military foundation - only money can bring guns, only guns can bring power, and only power can bring money, this is a positive cycle. Therefore, he basically retained all the feudal officials, and the music continued to play and the dance continued to be performed.

Kill all the troublemakers!

After killing almost all of them, he began to provide guidance for agricultural and economic production activities. Now, he has begun to put a lot of effort into beautifying himself.

He is Medieval Evangelion.

Of course, the beautification may not be so successful, because this is only done well in his own small area. Obviously, this cannot escape the limitations of his profession - just like the principal only controls the world within his own school fence, even your farts, and is not even worth a damn outside the school gate.

Levy's reputation was okay in Brittany, but outside of Brittany he was considered a "nouveau riche", "a devil", "a pagan pretending to convert to Christianity", "an enemy of the king, a traitor, and a heretic hidden in the kingdom".

...all right.

But it's no use saying this now.

He has the most soldiers! Apart from Xia Lulu, he is the most powerful. In a world of primitive military democracy, he definitely doesn't have one vote per person.

It just so happened that among the 12 warriors of Charlemagne's Empire, 11 were in the capital. Ah Fu, the transvestite, was helping to defend the east, and the others were fine.

"That's all I have to say, but I must give you one last reminder. Money, food, soldiers - each of these three things must be given to those illusory, even obvious, corrupt hands. There is no evidence, no possibility, and even more incredible absurdity - to increase troops, pay salaries, and supplies, you can think about it yourself. Oh, especially think about the fact that Carloman in the south may plunder your land at any time after you send out your soldiers."

Xia Lulu's brother-in-law gave the final speech.

You really can't believe that most of what they said is true. Damn, you don't know how to consider the overall situation! Didn't I just embezzle some public funds before? Besides, officials have two mouths, and they have to feed the upper level first before they can feed the lower level! I did this for Xia Lulu, not for myself. Really...

"Then, the next step is the final speech on the reinforcement of troops in Northern Europe." Xia Lulu looked at this scene helplessly and anxiously: "All my ten votes are for Levi. But everyone, I cannot manipulate your voting rights."

That is, as a king, his voting rights are certainly different from others. It is not just these dozen people who can vote. All the prominent people in the local area were called over.

Levi had never expected that he would have to speak in parliament about such an important life-and-death issue as increasing the number of troops. When he became the boss, he would at least clean up these old customs and bad habits. But there was no way now.

"Nice to meet you, Lords of Death. You have the right to manipulate death, not only because you can kill your enemies, but also because your choices will save more people from death." Levi looked at everyone present and started with a speech that transcended generations.

It makes everyone feel like wow, so cool! It's rare to see someone so cool bragging like this.

"Sacrifice, the foundation of heaven is based on sacrifice, this is a true motto, the blood of martyrs is the fire of heaven, when loyal slaves learn to love the scourge, only death is the end of the obligation." Very good, it has a strong cult connotation. But in the Middle Ages, this is the true face of Christianity.

"Generation after generation, not for any great ideal, but for sacrifice itself.

331

Greater than any ideal..."

“Loyalty needs no reward, for loyalty is its own reward.”

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull god!"

"Some will question what right you have to kill 10 billion people, but those who understand know that you have no right to keep them alive!"

"——I will always be loyal to my most loyal friend, and Xia Lulu will always have my loyalty." Levi gently placed his hand on the beautiful boy king who looked like he was about to ascend to heaven. Then he said softly: "No matter how you doubt or vote, it has nothing to do with me now. Since I am his relative, I should fight for him and die for him. Now, I will return to the Maginot Line. For the whole world, for the whole civilization, for the whole Christianity, and for Xia Lulu."

Li Wei's words are righteous and solemn. To be honest, if the plague is not solved here, it will have to be solved in Germany and France, which may harm us at any time. It is better to simply keep the enemy out of the country.

"!! I'll go with you!" Xia Lulu's heart was excited, her hands were shaking, and she could hardly say a word. Now he was calm instead, and said a classic line from Ma Dai: "We share honor and disgrace, life and death together!"

...Well, after Ma Dai said this line, the next line was "I dare to kill you", and the next shot of Wei Yan was his head being moved.

------------------

Uh, the vote actually passed.

So I have the qualifications to be a head of state?

The resolution to increase the troops was passed, but it was necessary to check whether Levi had so many soldiers. Xia Lulu went there in person and brought 10,000 elite soldiers with her.

Well, 10,000 is rare, these are all elite units with heavy armor, brought by the noble class and wealthy self-employed farmers. The rest have to prevent internal friction and take into account the vassal armies that have been mobilized.

Steaming determines the military, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Of course, Levi was ready to knock on the Dark Door here and then go through it. He just wanted to solve his personality crisis. Now it seems to be going well.

There are dirty dealings and constraints between the bigwigs.

There are also plug-ins.

But when it comes to ordinary people, all that is left is some disbelief and disgust.

for example.

The system has its own thoughtful little patch to solve all the annoying things - things like the death of girls are the most important thing.

"...Then, is it really impossible?"

"Of course not! Miss Darkness, I'm telling you, your current thoughts are very dangerous! If you take one step forward, you'll be shot immediately, and if you take one step back, you'll be released on medical parole. You need someone to lead you out of this quagmire. You're in great danger right now! - Death is not the source of pleasure. There is great terror between life and death! Death..."

"Big, big terror?... No, I must give it a try! Next time, next time we fight! Let me do it! - Miss Millicent, let me do it!"

Millicent was very tired.

Recently, I was "entrusted with an important task" by Li Wei, and I found a group of problem children around me. For example...

169 Immortality, no increase or decrease

Become a kindergarten principal.

"Ms. Levi! Please stop insulting law enforcement officers. I'm sorry, I can only..."

"Ms. Robert! If you don't control your temper when you wake up, I will have to take coercive measures against you..."

“Ms. Darkness! Please don’t just take the beatings without attacking! Although I am grateful that you have blocked fatal attacks for many people, your life is also important!”

"Ms. Jetrati! Although you are a giant, I am sure that your left hand is not out of control! Please stop saying things like 'left hand, my left hand can't be restrained'. Also, your eyesight is fine, don't pretend you can't see me!"

Based on the principle of using people to the utmost, Levi found that Millicent was really good-tempered. She was very suitable for management work, calm, composed, full of sense of justice and empathy, and most importantly, she trusted herself very much.

Even though she was a newcomer, Levi entrusted her with important tasks - the main reason was that there were no girls around Levi who looked reliable.

The security environment in the girls’ dormitory is quite terrible.

Recently, Darkness often chased Levi and beat him, which made Levi miserable. So, Levi put things right and let Millicent take charge. As for the severity of the punishment... As long as it doesn't kill her, then kill her. Obviously, the effect was much better.

Millicent had no choice.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Levi has proven that he can effectively defeat and even repel the Nordic Loki's demon army. In this case, the Valkyries who need a big thigh decided -

Sacrifice you, and thousands of families will be happy! Since Li Wei likes you so much, then you should sacrifice yourself for the country.

So when Levi appointed Millicent as the principal of the kindergarten, she had no chance of objecting.

Today, she must deal with Darkness, who has the most serious problem here.

She had wanted to die many times.

Since they found that death is no longer the end, death has become the final destination of masochists. Of course, no matter how you persuade them, it is useless. When ordinary people still have some awe of death and ordinary masochists are afraid of death, our ultimate masochist has already immersed himself in the mystery of death.

332

This is a masochist that is even scarier than the Chuunibyou. Chuunibyou means being stupid, but people here really dare to do it.

"I've heard about it a long time ago. Huh... at the moment of death. The pain, longing, and unattainable wishes all emerge in an instant. Unwilling, unforgettable... Oh, right. There is also this kind of strange play. Although I may not be awakened, I can give it a try. It seems that there is a strange category in the legend, called..."

Yes, this weird category can't and shouldn't be typed out. This has completely exceeded the level of play, and the most terrifying thing is that some people follow suit. A few decades ago, everyone was still at the level of fighting, but now the dark web has evolved to the point of dying, what the hell. Sometimes I really think that there are some reasons for the human purge plan. If you really don't understand, you can think about it: Northern Myanmar's kidney puls version.

"..." Millicent felt that hearing the other person say these words was extremely polluted.

Well, she usually keeps an eye on them. Ms. Lalatina (Darkness) is very capable, has experience in governing territories, and is a qualified noble leader. She is also very kind to children of all races, and often donates money secretly to the church or some local organization, asking them to provide warmth and welfare to the children.

He is the type who never leaves a penny for himself, so he often suffers from lack of funds.

Although Millicent herself realized that "Is it possible that even this suffering is felt good by the masochist?", Millicent was too kind, so she felt that it was too much for her to think so much about the kindness of the kind-hearted Miss Darkness.

But she was half right. Darkness had the best of both worlds. She could help children or the poor solve their life problems, and she could also feel happy because she had no money.

If she doesn't talk on weekdays, everyone will think she is an iceberg beauty. But this iceberg beauty is a noble who likes to secretly help the poor, even without any reward or anyone knowing. She restrains her desire for money and works hard just to serve the public.

When Levi was around, he also secretly cheered for Darkness's behavior.

If you ignore her special quirks.

“Huh.” Millicent took a deep breath and said, “Then let’s get this straight, Miss Darkness—you’re a good person.”
