Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

[As a demon, I only want the body, not

Feelings. Feelings are a real burden to the devil. The devil's ultimate pleasure never includes any feelings. If there are any, they must be the most vicious, lowest and most vulgar ones - I already have four lovers, I can't take it anymore. 】

? Four lovers?

God knows, how can I have four lovers? I... at most I'm cheating, how can I be considered a lover? But... Levi might not care too much, maybe there are only one... two people who are emotionally invested? But there are quite a few people who are emotionally invested on the other side, so four is considered a small number for him.

As a demon, four lovers are too much for you? Oh, so the master of time management is much better than you, a demon. I heard that there are people who had the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling" before being placed under double supervision. There are even people who have half of the community as their mistresses, performing the modern version of Qin Shi Huang's "Thirty-six Years of Not Being Seen".

Levi thinks this system is sick.

Then, the most evil system came along - singing the opposite tune of the devil.

(The above event is an event that will inevitably occur if you have too many lovers in CK2 as a normal person)

【Love is the most beautiful feeling of mankind, which the devil cannot understand; freedom, equality, and love are written into the eternal chapter of human history. Love is something that the devil cannot understand. Such love is like thorns that pierce the heart and is as painful as a thousand arrows piercing the heart.】

[1. Depravity option: Accept everyone’s love, devil. Such heart-wrenching pain will make you feel the pleasure of depravity all the time.

Rewards: 1. Get a new branch quest "Join the Lilith Society" - You heard that there is a secret society called the Lilith Society.

Reward, 2: All lovers gain positive attributes [Lover: Favorability +200 (mod correction)]; if you abandon a lover, you gain [Old lover: Favorability -20 (mod correction)]. In addition, the option of abandoning and becoming a yandere will appear randomly]

[2. Normal options: What is love? Can it be eaten? What is a lover? Can it be a close friend? No feelings, I only enter your body, not your life! - Punishment: Get the [Nervous] option. ]

...How strange, this depraved option.

So in the eyes of some people, is this depravity? So in the eyes of some people, is this the devil?

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

What does favorability +200 mean?

You accidentally hurt someone, causing him to lose one-fifth of his life (debuff, injury), and his favorability is -10 (Personal Club's calculation method is very magical. But this is Personal Club).

You accidentally throw a spear and hit the opponent's limbs, causing amputation and causing him to lose two-fifths of his life (debuff, fatal injury), and his favorability -15.

If you accidentally imprison someone and then cut off his balls (or dug out his eyes), (debuff castration or blindness), your favorability will be -30.

You accidentally killed someone's father, favorability -50 (killed a close relative)

This is very interesting.

If you become lovers, it's basically a lifelong thing, and even if you die, the buff will still be on you and the other person. In other words, if a woman falls in love with you in the Paradox system, you can snuff her father in front of her, beat her up (ryona), and then turn her into an amputee (amputee).

Your lover's favorability towards you remains 100%.

...How can this be called a lover system? Isn't this a yandere system? And it's the kind of yandere that only bears the brunt of it, the kind that won't even say no.

So Levi is in a bit of a tangle of emotions now, waiting for the Queen to come out of the SPA in three days. The information about Taimanin has been sent back.

The good news is that although the two kingdoms and the Knights' Kingdom have been completely destroyed, it is difficult to save them, but they are not without the ability to fight. In fact, the other side has suffered heavy losses, so it should be relatively easy to fight them.

The bad news is - there's a tougher force coming from the north, and new adventurers are preparing to conquer other parts of Brittany.

"...Look, it's all your fault!" The villain complained first. Levi had spent the past three days staying with the chief boss of the Taimanin.

Ugh! Can that be called being together? That's called dying for the country. The grandson of the Martial Saint taught us that the most important thing in the army is to be close to the spy. It is said that the most important thing in marching and fighting is to be close to the spy. What's wrong with me being close to the most important spy in my army? This is written in the Art of War, is there anything wrong with it?

Of course it is right. Levi, as a feudal leader, said this, so it is definitely right. If there is a mistake, it is the fault of the subordinates who did not understand the spirit. Those who understand should execute, and those who do not understand should strengthen execution in the understanding, and do not be shameless. So after Levi and the Taimanin had been tired of each other for three days, he attacked Orika.

"What do you mean it's all my fault?!" Olika didn't dare to ask what happened in the past three days, mainly because - it was too troublesome!

Nagging, nagging, nagging, nagging! Her mother had never been so nagging with her when she was in the mother nest. To be more precise, her mother never cared about the opinions of any of her children. Levi didn't brainwash her, but she even felt that brainwashing might be more comfortable than Levi's nagging. Levi finally stopped preaching to her from the second day.

52

, Olika was just like a student who heard that there was a two-day holiday - he quickly ran away with his schoolbag on his back. Who would have the courage to ask the teacher [Why is there a holiday? What is the right for a holiday? What does the teacher do during the holiday? ]

I'll just shove a few sets of papers in your hand and let you compare them.

in fact……

In fact, even if Olika didn't waste these three days, Levi would probably just set up camp on the road and wait for the spies ahead to report back. So... it doesn't have much impact.

but!

"If you hadn't wasted my army's three precious days, we would have captured the rebels!" Levi certainly couldn't give Olika any chance to take advantage of him, after all, he felt guilty. So... I'm sorry, if I didn't let you feel guilty, I would be the most guilty: "When you wanted to follow my army, I repeatedly reminded you to obey orders and follow commands; obey orders and follow commands. You insisted on not listening! You thought you loved beauty, and if you had listened to my advice, how could you have caused such a disaster!!"

"Uh... that's enough..." Chloe was very unhappy because Levi lost his temper... In fact, she also wanted to tell tales, but she was beaten by the queen before she did. After she grumbled, Levi glared at her fiercely.

Knight Ji, on the other hand, didn't dare to say a word.

Is this good training?

No! This is because the mother is good at management, not because of discipline, but because of education!

"Our army went out to fight for the first time, to defeat the evil conqueror. Two thousand soldiers, sleeping in the open, fighting bloody battles! Every soldier went forward, every general did his best! Only in this way can we rescue the Taima Ninja, the army is at the border, the soldiers are in the enemy city, and we will take Nantes! Just when the mission was about to be accomplished, you...you were stubborn and arbitrary! As a result, we missed the opportunity, all because of you!! Such a heinous crime, how can you, you...you bear it!!!"

Li Wei was very into the role, his mind was full of Teacher Tang Guoqiang's Zhuge Liang.

Seeing Levi so angry, Olika felt a little panicked.

No, no, no, it’s not the power of the universe, nor is it the training of any master.

This panic is visceral, it's in our mammalian DNA, it's the same feeling you had when you saw your mom with a feather duster as a kid, and as the old saying goes: I practice from the heart.

"Gu..." She couldn't show any shyness or hesitation. Olika was the proud queen, and she maintained the most decent attitude towards Levi's accusations. Although... it looked like she was already wavering. But she couldn't lose the battle, at least she couldn't lose too much.

Is it okay to surrender and lose half?

"Even so...I have delayed the battle opportunity. What do you want to do?"

"When you followed me to fight, you and I made a pledge. If you don't obey, you will be punished by military law!"

"? I never said that..."

"Considering that you are the queen, [Doctors shall not be punished] - I will give you a decent life. If you don't want to be decent, then I can only help you be decent." Levi sighed, waved his hand and said: "As a queen, what can it matter if you miss the opportunity to fight? What can I do to you? My poor soldiers are still alive, and we will have to pay more in the future... Alas. Forget it, such a serious crime, but you and I have agreed before. I will never do anything to hurt you... Forget it. Just remember it, and don't do it again next time."

Levi cursed for a while, and finally looked at Olika with the eyes of a child who failed to live up to expectations, which made him feel uncomfortable. Finally, he sighed, smiled bitterly, patted the other party on the shoulder, which put great psychological pressure on the other party, shook his head and left.

"...What?" It was rare for the cold-blooded queen to show such an expression. She seemed to be a little angry: "I want to give my skin... but it's for... Tsk!"

At this moment, the importance of subordinates is reflected. Chloe said to Olika with a mentality that this good thing should have been my turn first, but it was not me, I should be in the bed, not under the bed (bgm), "Your Majesty, I must report to you as a loyal subordinate! - This Levi, in fact, is in conflict with Taimanin balabala..."

The following omits the first time I put on shoes, the first time I untied the shoelaces, and the first time I stretched them out, my feet hurt even more than the shoes. Then there are the vivid onomatopeia, phono-semantic words, and hieroglyphics that describe the lives of Queen Aulica, Levi, and Ashaji.

"...Really?" At first, Olivia didn't even believe it - after all, Levi was much more moral than him: "I don't believe it."

"I! - Your Majesty, could I lie to you? I'll take you to confront him! I..."

"Wait." Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to go now? "I... I'll ask later. Even if it's true, I have no right to tell him now. I have to admit that he is stronger now."

————————————————————————

The army set out towards Nantes.

This time it was no longer a joke. With only 2,000 people, they were still a little unsure about fighting against people from two counties. So, Levi planned to find another way - recruit some mobilized soldiers. Although the number was small, it was better than nothing. Although the elves were small in population, they could always shoot arrows from behind, right? Of course, the problem faced in this way was... Levi's guards did not need logistics, but the recruited elves were not subspace demons, and they needed a full set of supply systems, which was very troublesome.

So, is there a system that can also create soldiers?

53

? Emmm……

Levi began to look through every attribute bar and dialog box to see if the system had given him any new abilities.

[Holding a summer party]...What's the use of this thing?

[Establishing a new duchy]... It costs money and is useless.

[Baptism and coronation]... Am I a devil?

[Establishing a demon empire]...Isn't this thing too far-fetched?

[Announce your demonic identity]...

And so on and so forth.

Finally, Levi found a useful piece of information.

【Hire mercenaries. 】

A large number of mercenaries like Martian soldiers are waiting for Levi to hire, ranging from 12000 to 50 people.

But... everything is ready, all that's missing is money.

The gold coins for hiring range from 12000 to 50, take the money.

"This... Where can I get so much money at once?" Levi was a little embarrassed this time. He had planned to make money this time. He only brought less than a thousand gold coins with him as rewards for accompanying the army. Next, he had to wait for local materials and use them for himself. To hire an ordinary 1500-man mercenary group, at least 1500 would be needed - and a small amount of salary would have to be paid every month. Although they were all given by the system, this...

Fortunately, there is no shortage of suckers in this world. As we all know, if you want to get money, the fastest way is 1. Blackmail ministers; 2. Rob; 3. Borrow from merchants!

So, are there any anime that tell stories about medieval merchants?

Chapter 22 Demons and Gold Coins

The biggest universal bug that Paradox has leaked in CK2, or the official mercy, is to borrow money from Jewish merchants, and basically you don't have to pay it back. 300 gold coins at a time, when you are surrounded by a bunch of small bastards, it is enough for you to hire a 1500-man small bastard mercenary army for only about 150 gold coins (even if you are in Constantinople, you can still receive the black uncle army from the deep rainforest of West Africa at the first time) to help you survive the initial bastard situation.

Paradox's mercenary system is also a system of soldiers that travel through time and space, and in a sense, they are genuine subspace demons.

Since they are all Warp Demons, they naturally need to summon sacrifices. They are fair, just and open, in the ignorant era when there is no unified currency. No human sacrifices, no messy equivalent exchange - just gold coins! Honest, pay money and fight to the last soldier (if you run away in the middle of the battle, it doesn't count). Even if you have no money, they may wait for you for a month or two. Of course, most of the time, they will turn around and leave in the first month of running out of money. If they don't have a good relationship with you, they may jump directly to your opponent.

So Levi was looking all over the world for Jewish merchants to borrow money from.

The system sent you.

Paradox's system is so considerate. There are many Jewish merchants in this world. The interesting thing is that this is not tied to Paradox's region but to faith. As long as you believe in the three desert cults, even if you are on Mars, there will be Jewish merchants around you who will lend you 300 gold coins - they will never leave you!

But the problem is that Li Weixin's is not one of the three desert cults! So there are no Jewish merchants to fleece him! This is very annoying, so he can only take the initiative to find Jewish merchants - in fact, not just Jewish merchants, any merchant will do, as long as he can lend money.

"Haha, now you feel anxious?"

Seeing Levi coming to him for last-minute help, Olika felt more relaxed: "When I asked you to bring merchants with you, you were very unhappy. Now that you need to borrow money, you think of merchants?"

"That's different. Merchants accompanying the army... that's not the right way." Levi's face looked a little unhappy, mainly because he found that he had actually become one with the medieval military system. Under the excellent matching mechanism of the Western European region, he found that he could not match any opponents at all - the score was too high.

So much so that he had to pull himself down to the same level as everyone else before he could start this Medieval Online game! Otherwise, his system would not match the medieval hardware at all, and wherever he installed it, it would freeze.

"I'm going to borrow money from a businessman now."

"It's not so easy to borrow money from merchants. Countries can perish, people can die, but money is money and business is business." Olika sighed and said, "When I hired mercenaries to defend the city, many of them ran away because they didn't have enough money... Even in such a critical moment, I couldn't borrow money. Why do you think you can?"

Wow, Chongzhen from another world?

You know what, an important reason why Chongzhen failed was that his ruling power was equated with that of feudal barbarians. So, didn't he have to be defeated by the feudal barbarians?

"Don't worry about that. Just do the matchmaking. The mountain man has his own tricks. Oh, and your magic..."

“…I haven’t fully recovered yet.”

"Well, how about some special effects?"

————————————————————

What followed was still a long wait and march, and Levi arrived at the city at the junction of Nantes and Rennes, called Guerande.

Guerande is a good place. It is said that it was an ancient Gaul city before the Roman era. Since it has such a long history, it must not be the original one - after all, there are so many middlemen. The Romans came here once and it was not clean. Then the barbarians invaded, and this place became someone else's again.

shape. Over the years, this place has been protected by the magic of the dark elves as Brittany and no one has ever attacked it. It is still peaceful.

It was still peaceful, because Aolica was a hands-off boss (like in the Middle Ages), and because of the lack of productivity, the ruling power was insufficient, and magic was only available for a while. So Aolica was basically only responsible for providing magic power and using magic to defend against external invasions - such a buggy technology. If someone else came, the next step would be [I am the country], but unfortunately the excellent matching mechanism in the Western European region did not allow it.

Summer insects cannot talk about ice, this is the truth. She provides protection to everyone, but in the end, no one likes her. This kind of suffocating operation is not only possible in the United States. There is a reason why Olika has such a bad reputation.

"Kneel down, ants, and pay homage to your queen!"

Well, I know how to behave.

Someone who had just experienced the loss of her country and the restoration of it was still so arrogant. I can only say that it was the result of different education environments. Li Wei dared to guarantee that if it was the queen who was running around in the forest in a panic two months ago... I guess she herself would not have put on such a bad face to meet these merchants.

So now the question is, why is she so awesome now?

The fox is taking advantage of the tiger's might.

"Your Majesty..." A group of merchants knelt on the ground. Without receiving orders, they did not even dare to step forward to continue the salute.

If it were normal times, it would not be a problem for the merchants in this commercial city to unite and bring out 300 professional troops. At worst, both sides would be destroyed.

But there were more than 2000 subspace demons wandering over from the opposite side.

Just vote, don't waste your energy.

Everyone had heard that Her Majesty the Queen had completely [fallen from evil], and had made a deal with the devil with her soul, summoning thousands of devils. But it was not expected that there were not just thousands of devils, it seemed that Her Majesty the Queen had really turned evil this time - she had been too lazy to step on cheap land before, but now she had brought thousands of devils with her, as if she was going to turn the whole of Brittany into a devil's paradise.
