Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

516

"I am not as good as you in caring for the people, providing them with food and supplies, and ensuring that the food supply is not cut off; but you are not as good as me in leading an army of millions, winning every battle and taking every city; making plans and winning battles thousands of miles away - you are far inferior to me!"

Really? You can do micromanagement with zero delay? I have a system that I can do it, really... This mother dragon really loves to brag...

"I'm here to help you plan your sea crossing!" Levi was very disdainful when he heard this.

"Back then, I led 30,000 soldiers across the sea to expedition to Fuso. The strait was much larger than this! Wasn't it just as easy?" When Levi heard this, he instantly felt that Miaoying was very reliable!

————————————————————————

It would be much easier if someone could help you designate a battle plan. Anyway, battle plans in the Middle Ages were not very detailed, and most of them were editorial orders. Who would board which ship where, what weather conditions would be on that day to cross the sea, what situations might be encountered and what fleets might encounter, what would happen next according to the plan, and what would be the backup plan if problems arose.

It is certainly better to have someone to help you than to have no one. At least if something goes wrong, you won’t be the one to take the blame.

Levi was also happy to have some free time. He was not a transport captain and had no tendency to hold on to power.

The reason is simple: these are his own summoned soldiers, and they obey him completely. The other party only has command power, not ownership. There is no possibility of even taking over Honnoji Temple. Levi can forcibly take back the command of the army before such a mutiny, or even during the mutiny. So - if someone with the same interests helps him solve the problem, it is actually a good thing.

"Ugh."

Being too good, he couldn't show his importance. When Levi sat in the tavern, no one recognized him.

The main reason is that Taimanin put on too much makeup on him. He is a beautiful boy, but when he puts on a hood, no one recognizes him. It is really a perfect makeup. If you dress like a prostitute, no one will recognize you.

"I heard you got married? Congratulations." Li Wei crossed his legs and drank a glass of cheap wine. He took a bite of the fried skewers and felt that the taste was not right, so he took out the seasoning box he brought with him and sprinkled some.

"Yes, thank you very much, sir - otherwise how could I find the love of my life." Opposite him was Sato Kazuma, who was said to be a local aboriginal and the descendant of a group of people who came from the Far East when the Black Gate opened decades ago. He smiled awkwardly and wanted to take the seasoning box given by Levi.

"So, you are really together with that guy Aqua?" Levi looked at the blue-haired beautiful girl who was performing "Flowers, Birds, Water and Moon" in the distance, and said in a very puzzled tone: "Let's be honest, Ah Shazi's appearance is of course nothing to complain about, it's okay if he is unconscious and doesn't talk. But this brain is really not working well."

Aqua is set up like this - she looks about 16 years old, and she wears a feathered robe when she goes out. She has translucent water-colored long hair, and her hair quality is several blocks away from the others. The original setting is that she is extremely beautiful (although it is often a mess due to animation budget issues), with a perfect body with curves - and she doesn't wear panties! The reason is that in order to break the dimensional wall, it is forbidden to draw panties when drawing, so why not just not draw panties so that they can't be exposed?

She likes to act like a goddess, but no one believes her except Kazuma. Sometimes even Kazuma doubts whether she is a goddess. She is stupid and likes to cry. After crying, she goes to sleep. After sleeping, she is like nothing happened. This setting is perfect. She is stupid and her mental state is worth checking. The goddess of water can purify everything related to water. She attaches great importance to her believers and sects, and is willing to do everything for the good intentions of her believers (in her opinion).

"Well, my brain isn't working very well." Looking at his wife, who was already married, Sato Kazuma said, "But if I can find a wife like this, what do I need a wheelbarrow for? Okay, let's leave it at that. Besides, although I really hate Aqua being with me, I have reflected on herself - I feel that although I hate it, I am happy. This life is hard to describe in words... I feel like I'm marrying my own brother. To be honest, except for feeling a little disgusted, everything else is fine."

"..." Levi looked at Sato Kazuma deeply, and the face of the beautiful boy devil was a little crooked: "Kazuma."

"Hey hey hey." He nodded and bowed quickly.

"I'm your brother, too. If you need anything, you can come to me. I may not necessarily help you, but I will definitely not watch you die. Now that you're married, don't go to the war. I'll find you a small job so you can be a civil servant and eat your rice."

"Hmm? That's great." Sato Kazuma nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Well, what kind of official position can I be?"

"Still want to be an official? Ha, just be a minor official. You are a minor official who can see me, which is already better than many officials, right?" Levi took another sip of the inferior wine, and then asked in return: "But I feel something is wrong with that Aqua - she said she is a goddess? Isn't she a psychopath?"

"Well... I also thought she was a psychopath at first, but there were times when she was a goddess... Well, at least I should have died but didn't. Well, it's hard to say..." Sato Kazuma explained for a long time...

"? The Axis Sect?" Levi was stunned for a while. Is there such a sect in the world? "Call her over and I'll ask her."

"Hey, hey, okay."

Soon after, after the performance of Flowers, Birds, Water and Moon

517

Aqua came back, wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked very happy.

"Ah, oh my, you are here, sir? - Are you coming to our wedding? Oh, come if you want, what else are you bringing..."

"?" Li Wei suddenly felt that the other party was a little interesting, and it felt like an old performing artist, so he moved the small seasoning box to the side: "This is public property, public property."

"Oh..." Aqua, who was about to collect her things with a smile, was stopped by Levi, with a look of desolation visible on her face: "Then...what are you doing here?"

"Can't you just walk around?" It's really interesting, how many people want to kneel down and beg me: "I heard you are a goddess?"

"Of course!" Awesome.

"Then you are really awesome, really awesome." Considering that Levi also has elven gods, elven goddesses, or demigods around him. These things are not very good. Before, the one who claimed to be the elven goddess was almost captured by the Black Beast Mercenary Group in the first wave and used as a human urinal.

Levi doesn't care about these things, but at least he should find some trouble with these people! Otherwise, they still don't know who is the boss! Roar, now they know who is the boss! Come on, you are so weak!

"Well," Levi nodded and said, "Your Axis sect..."

"Ah, speaking of my sect, do you want to join?" He instantly perked up.

"Come on, tell me what you want to hear."

“Ahem, my sect is really amazing! — Rule 1: The people of Axis just don’t like to be serious. If they are serious, they can do anything! We are the ones who can do it. Even if we can’t do it well, don’t blame us. It’s not us who are wrong, it’s the whole world!”

"......?!?!" What is this... decadent otaku doctrine? Isn't this something that only social scum, otakus who have lost their social attributes, believe in? And it is estimated that nothing will be accomplished.

"The second rule is, when faced with something unpleasant, just run away. If you can escape, not only does it not count, it's also considered a win!" Who is Ikari Shinji to you?

"Third, when you hesitate, you will regret whatever you do. Since you will regret it anyway, just choose something that will make you feel less uncomfortable." Uh... Don't say that: Don't say that! She said this as if she was talking. At first, it didn't sound like human words, but the more you listened, the more it made sense.

“The fourth rule is, don’t be afraid all the time. Even God doesn’t know what your future will be like, so just laugh while you can.” ??? It’s actually positive energy?

"The fifth rule is to eat when you want to, sleep when you want to, and play when you want to! - Don't go against your own heart..."

"Okay, okay." Levi really thought that the other party's sect was quite interesting.

He surveyed Aqua's attributes.

[Goddess: A very weak goddess. Basically, except for her face, her IQ is also trash. She has no believers, so she has no ability. But even if she has believers, so what? Character determines success or failure. Even if a useless goddess with this kind of character has believers and the power of faith, she is still just trash.]

Ugh... this is really hurtful.

"I finally know what kind of goddess you are." Levi nodded and looked as if he understood.

"Ah? What kind of goddess am I? --You acknowledge that I'm a goddess? Does this count as official recognition?"

"Hahaha, I guess so. Then you must be..."

"Yeah, yeah, I am water..."

"You are the blind and foolish god!"

They all have the last name A, and you can't write two A's with one stroke. No matter if it's Azathoth or Aqua, they're all a little dumb anyway.

“?!?! Who, who is stupid! Who is blind and foolish! I… I… wu, wu wu…”

…Levi decided.

The one who can save the world is probably this blind and foolish god - Aqua.

Since the world must have a God, and since the other world is already beyond salvation!

Then let's just turn on the halo of intelligence reduction together! If we have to die, let's die together!

272 The lower forces conquered the upper forces (referring to the battle from Normandy to England)

Everyone has the last name A, whether it’s Aqua or Azathoth, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, they are all stupid. Blind and Stupid God, Levi said: "The country and the people, several worlds including the leadership headed by me, have determined that you are a blind and stupid god."

Ah Shazi was a little confused for a moment, thinking that his luck had been taken away and his godhood had been usurped! He felt terrible.

"You may be useful in the future." Levi finally realized the way out. There were many things he couldn't do. He could only take advantage of the situation - if it was difficult, he might as well not do it.

We should stay away from those who are full of bitterness and hatred. To solve the root problems of this kind of bitter and hateful world, we might as well find some cheerful idiots.

If you don't believe me, watch the same so-called different world saving the world. That re0 is full of bitterness and hatred, and the characters in it are either toilets or garbage, or the hero's life is worth less than a cockroach, making everyone so frustrated.

Similarly, Mr. Sato Kazuma (the protagonist of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World")'s life is not much better than that of the protagonist of re0, and the things he experienced are basically the same. But he has a good mentality and handles problems more directly (scumbag). The two works have the same tone, face similar things, and have similar levels of despair (it seems to be similar).

But the stupid people led by Sato Kazuma

518

The forced team looks much more likable than the serious team led by the male protagonist of re0 next to them.

In the end, it was Mr. Sato Kazuma who completely saved the world line.

A total victory for the scumbag.

So, if you can't solve the petty intrigues in the anime, you might as well use your own strength to defeat them. You can actually solve the problem by finding a few silly (beep) protagonists who are fun-loving. Let me make it clear that although they are silly (beep) protagonists, they are my silly (beep) protagonists.

"What are your ideas for the future?"

Levi crossed his legs. Now that all the groundwork had been laid, it was time to get down to business.

"Originally, they planned to defeat the devil, increase the number of believers, and gain divinity. However, the church seems to have no ability, but in fact it has great ability." That's true, but it was only the end of the eighth century, and the church's organizational ability was not as high as imagined. It was not an era where people would burn anyone they caught, and the church did not have this hobby in the end. Most ordinary ignorant medieval people had some local superstition. That is, nature worship or something. After all, ignorance must be ignorance to the end. Since the priests have a monopoly on the right to explain, they are too lazy to explain in many cases. If the people above don't explain, then there must be an explanation for the things encountered in daily life.

The people in the Middle Ages had some heresy in their thinking, and most of the people who burned people were local feudal rulers. The church only did not support or oppose it in legal terms, but in this case, it was considered to be a serious responsibility for acquiescence. If everyone had some heresy, it would be impossible to burn all the people. Otherwise, even if the forests of Europe were wiped out, it would be impossible to burn all the heretics in Europe. For a true state religion, you have to wait until Warhammer 40k to burn people for any deviation in thought.

In most cases, the church only burns heretics.

Unfortunately, that is Aqua in the current setting.

"Hmm?" Levi glanced at Aqua and said, "You are quite ambitious. You want to be your own goddess so much."

"Hehehe, actually life is pretty good now." Aqua scratched her head and said, "I'm married now, and I drink a little wine and eat barbecue every day. It's really nutritious for me."

“…” But your married life will not be very happy, and it will be difficult to have children.

Aqua's property is that she can purify any dirty water on her body, so if the semen is injected into her, it will be purified instantly - if it touches her flesh, it will be purified.

Unless Sato Kazuma hits the egg that is fertilizing with one shot. Considering that the rice liquid is liquid, but the rice worm is solid, if the egg combines with it, it should instantly become a solid fertilized egg - that would be fine.

But this is too much of a test for Sato Kazuma's marksmanship, and the probability is infinitely close to zero - that day I asked my godmother Lilith to help you two.

Let's talk about the discussion in the group today. One of the benefits of Aqua is that you only need to bring one person's water when entering the desert. Because basically all the liquids in Aqua should be considered drinking water, and they are purified to be very healthy. To put it in an extreme way, if Aqua didn't eat well that day and it was considered watery, it should also be considered water - after all, one of the important indicators of water pollution is impurities. The so-called impurities are also helpless. For example, if an author falls into the water, although it is pollution, it is generally not considered pollution, but only swimming. But if the author is thrown into a meat grinder to become stuffing, and it is mixed evenly in the water, then it should be considered pollution, and it can be purified very cleanly, without any residue.

Far away.

"Not bad." Li Wei supported his face with an envious expression: "It's good to be content with a small fortune. Unlike me, I have been deeply involved in many things and can't extricate myself. Alas... What's good about being a goddess? Sometimes being a woman is happiness. Right?"

"Hehehe...actually being a goddess and a woman at the same time isn't a win-win situation?"

"...Aqua" Levi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought: "Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really smart?"

"what?"

"A fool may make many mistakes, but he will eventually make one wise decision." Levi looked at the "wise" expression on the other person's face and finally said, "Don't you want to be a goddess? Then show your abilities and prepare all your Axis teachings. Remember to be casual and I will find a world for you to be a god there."

“Really? — Uh, there won’t be any problems in that world, right?” Aqua was very excited, but suddenly she felt reluctant: “Well, if I go, what will happen to Kazuma-san?”

"..." You really have feelings for me, don't you? "Of course we'll go together, even if it means being the goddess's male god."

"Him? My idol? Tsk..." Aqua suddenly looked disgusted again.

"? Do you dislike me?" Can Sato Kazuma spoil her? He immediately grabbed her and rubbed Aqua's head angrily.

"Ah! You dare to do that?" Rub my head? I'll rub it back!

Li Wei watched the idiot (physics) couple play for a while, and thought to himself, q group: 543659389. After elementary school, it was rare to observe such scenes up close, so he waved his hand to indicate that it was enough.

"The world over there is very beautiful." Levi thought for a moment and said, "It is easy to preach (after all, Chaos can do it), and everyone is very friendly. From what I know, it is comparable to the simple folk town of Yharnam and the hospitable Arkham. Oh, there are also many monster girls there, but some of the sects are not very good. For example, there is the Cult of Pleasure, the Chosen of Slaanesh, just hearing the names..."

"We have to fight that garbage to the end!" Sato Kazuma was immediately alert! "Sir, please tell me when we will go to that evil world! It's so vulgar and disgusting! What kind of a shabby sect is this? Just hearing the name makes me sick! Don't worry, sir. I will...

519

I will punish Aqua in that world!"

"..." You guys will probably just be a super builder when you go there, that's true. Aqua's construction ability really fits Levi's aesthetics, solving construction problems quickly, efficiently and economically. If there are raw materials for a wall, I can build it in three to five days by myself. Oh, I'm not talking about an ordinary wall, but a giant wall that is ten meters high, three meters thick, hundreds of meters wide, and comes with a city gate.

The Egyptian slaves who came over and saw this speed and efficiency shook their heads.

"There's no rush." ​​I have a big family and a lot of wealth. I have everything here. Why should I go there? So Levi was not very happy. He immediately said to the two people present: "And I have to find some useful 'talents' to go with you and give you some benefits... Okay, you should get ready. Don't take risks recently. Just get the special allowance from me every month. Oh, do you know how to find me?"

"Yes, the sisters at the palace gate all know me..."

"...They told me to be more restrained in your gaze when you visit them next time."

——————————————————————————————

The sea breeze was blowing gently, and everything seemed beautiful to Levi.

The sparse sounds of the armor moving drowned out the sound of the waves.

On the evening of June 6, in the English Channel, on the coast of Normandy, a large number of troops were being dispatched, and Levi's tens of thousands of elite vanguards were boarding their respective landing ships in an orderly manner.

It was called a landing ship, but it was actually a large sampan. However, this large sampan also had its dignity - they were linked together and were not afraid of fire. As long as they could transport people across La Manche and land on this calm day, it would be fine.

"Let's set sail. I hope everything goes well." Li Wei pulled down the corners of his mouth and said, "I really hope that one day, a road can be built between England and France."

"Ahahaha." Ah Fu beside him suddenly laughed. Today he was also wearing armor and helmet. After all, this was his homecoming group. "Avi does have an idea. If there is such a day, it will be much more convenient."

Ah Fu is very happy.

But Levi couldn't be happy.

"Is it convenient? ... I guess so. I hope there won't be any more wars in the future." Levi lowered his head, his expression grim, as if thinking about something. "I hope everyone can live a good life. I don't have any big aspirations. Let people have enough food, let people wear warm clothes, let people have spiritual pursuits, let people have medical treatment when they are sick, and have no worries - this is the world I want to create."

"? That's great, Avi. If there is such a world, I would rather be your dog in your world than be a prince in this world."
