Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

Her Majesty Lucifer, who had just finished taking a shower, was walking over here wrapped in a bath towel.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Levi was shocked. His side was almost infiltrated like a sieve? How could anyone open a portal and come in at any time?

"Why, I can't come? Don't worry, you are here because of my mark. After all, I am the Queen of Hell, and I am good at opening portals." For example, being cast down from heaven to hell by God, and falling for seven days and seven nights - I am indeed an expert at opening portals: "I just came to see you after taking a shower, and happened to hear you say something strange - Lilith and I just met, it's interesting, she said she has never seen a... well, obscene child like you. Oh, I'm really interested. Well, Lilith told me a lot, and there are things related to her. I said, can you explain to me what [Maternal Regression] is? - Lilith gave me an example and told me the name. Lilith's expression at the time was so interesting -"

? Your expression is so solemn just because of the return of the mother's womb? If you knew (silenced), you would die?

"Wait, you know Lilith?"

"Of course she knows me - she also asked me to tell you in the real world: to find Lilith's secret society."

Chapter 53: Imperial Conference (skip)

How could someone who was so afraid of death go to a place that sounded so dangerous? And what about secret societies?

He never goes into battle first, his slogan is always "Brothers, charge for me", even the weakest fighter wears the thickest armor, he always has at least a platoon of guards around him, he never hugs outsiders when he sleeps, and he never sleeps with strangers.

This supreme lord who has reached a certain level of cowardice, a level of cowardice that is so cowardly that he doesn't even dare to do anything lustful - now you tell me to join a secret society?

"No, no, what secret society?" Levi waved his hands, saying, "I have a lot to do. I want to focus on the military. What secret society? Anything that has nothing to do with the Frankish Empire is not a serious matter now."

"Well... it doesn't matter. I'm just helping to pass on a message." Yawning, Lucifer wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked back into the shadows of the room. "I'll go back and catch up on my sleep. Breakfast will be ready. Oh, I don't care whether Beelzebub wants to do it or not."

"...Don't you need to work?" Levi looked at the Queen of Hell who was gradually sinking into the shadows with envy on his face.

History books based on the Confucian view of history are good, and they can give you the principles of governance, chaos, rise and fall. It would be even better if you combine it with the Marxist materialist view of history - for example, you can clearly see that it is not because the emperor neglects government affairs that treacherous ministers are in power. On the contrary, there are too many things that the emperor cannot manage, so the emperor does not manage them - this shows that the people below are constantly eroding the power of the central government of the empire. This was the case in the Han, Tang, Song, Ming, Yuan, Qing, and Republic of China. Local governments vs. central governments, the less you manage, the less capable you are. If you don't manage, someone will naturally manage - of course, this is just one point.

Seeing Lucifer's negligence in government affairs, Levi felt that the other party was like a rabbit whose tail could not grow longer, or a grasshopper in autumn who could not jump for a few days. The loach in the urine pit could not make much waves, and the bump on the mouse's tail was not thick enough.

"Alas, this guy's rule is estimated to be only a few days away. Well, who knows, the life of a demon is so long, and the life of the Lord of Hell is even more unknown whether it will last forever - her "soon" may be an ending that humans will never see in their lifetime?" Levi sighed, anyway, he has more than one backer. You... I'm quite happy together these days, and the girl seems to be in a normal state of mind. There is no feeling of the Lord of Hell. I will persuade her next time I come.

"Let me see." Levi also had to clean up, considering that work could not be delayed for several hours. So Levi went to another special men's bathroom, and after coming out, he went straight to the council hall.

In the feudal era, there was no strong government—but everything went smoothly.

119

Yes. It depends on how feudal you are. If they have guns in their hands, what reason can you talk to the feudal lord? My vassal's vassal is not my vassal. But if they don't have guns in their hands, and I have a gun in my hand - then what reason can you talk to me about? My daughter's daughter is still my daughter!

Levi has now airdropped more than 5,000 demon troops, and basically everyone in Brittany is Levi's toilet.

Of course, this also includes the original lords.

As for work, Li Wei had no experience as a feudal lord. His experience was all about the Chinese imperial system, which was incompatible with the European continent and could not adapt to the local climate. This was mainly determined by the economy, production and lifestyle, and custom templates. He could not change it in a short time. Qin Shihuang abolished the feudal system and established counties, but he had to have the support of his six generations of ancestors.

So Levi could only search in his memory for the practical European feudal centralized methods he knew.

——Learn from the Sun King.

The Sun King, Louis XIV. One of the greatest European monarchs, his major achievements include inventing stockings, high heels, and ballet.

By the way, the Sun King completed the centralization of power under the feudal system in Europe. And with administrative efficiency that was higher than that of his contemporaries, he pressed other countries on the European continent to the ground (sometimes rubbing each other), achieving the feat of one country conquering four continents. The next person to achieve this achievement was Cixi.

One of his methods was to gather nobles from all over the country and put them in a magnificent cage called the Palace of Versailles.

Levi is doing the same now.

As soon as I saw that the magnificent reception room in the castle had been transformed, I saw that there were already several noble prisoners standing inside waiting for Levi to come.

"Sir." Miss Alancia, the Grand Master of the Nantes Knights, bowed to Levi. She welcomed Levi with joy and performed a very standard knight's salute - there is no standard knight's salute in this world. It is different according to different times and regions. The female knight still performed the etiquette within her own knight's order. She put her left foot on the ground, swung her right foot three times, and then circled behind her left foot, slightly bending it. At the same time, she raised her right hand high and turned her wrist three times in the air, then bowed slightly, put her right hand in front of her chest, and her left hand behind her.

Standard? - This [etiquette] is a standard [inspection etiquette]. To put it simply, look, my feet are in a position that is completely incapable of attacking; my right hand is raised high and swinging back and forth, and I don't have any weapons. Finally, I bend down and bow with my hands behind my back, making a position that is not capable of attacking. People don't have eyes on their heads, and if their heads are facing you, it means they are completely convinced.

"Oh, Alancia." Levi nodded repeatedly, nodding to this... leader of the princess knights who was wearing refreshing and cool armor (bikini armor): "I didn't expect you to come back, uh... you must have had a hard time along the way? If not..."

"Yes." His eyes sparkled, and it looked like today was another day full of energy. "I have completed the task you assigned to me a week ago perfectly! I came here today to report on my work."

"Uh... so fast?" Levi was shocked. He thought it was a brainless energetic girl. How come... "You have contacted the other three countries?"

"Yes, they have all been contacted. They are all very enthusiastic about forming a coalition!" Allensia's purple eyes sparkled, and she said, "Now, as long as you give the order, their army will march forward! Wherever you point, they will attack!"

"..." Levi frowned. Oh, no wonder he came back so soon: "Didn't you see... the three lords Claudia, Maya and Christine?"

"Well, but I completed the mission. This is the handwritten letter of the three of them. They have sworn to their gods again and again. They will definitely..."

"What do you want with this kind of empty promise?" Levi looked at the guarantee and alliance letter written by the three countries, which were indeed a bunch of nonsense: "This coalition has no leader and each is acting on its own. How can... Alas, Alancia, you are still too young. Of course, this is not your fault. I hope you can spend more time with me in the future. Are you tired? Go and rest first..."

"No, I, didn't I complete the task?"

"Don't blame you, blame the world - snobbery makes people fight, and then they kill each other." Levi comforted the other party. The girl suddenly shed tears of unwillingness and bit her lips gently.

"Lord, let's... eh?" In this scene where it was obvious that the older brother was bullying the girl, Prim Fillibon, the former princess of the Kingdom of Retz (a small county town) and the current queen (county magistrate) - came in and talked and laughed. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Levi bullying his cousin: "Lord, Lord... Lord?"

“Ah, Prim—it’s nothing.” She quickly wiped away her tears and said, “Don’t get me wrong, this is all my fault…”

The more you describe it, the worse it gets.

"I can see it." A clear voice came from the great priestess of the Vana Theocracy, Kaguya, who still had a blank expression. After experiencing the collapse of her faith, Kaguya reorganized her faith in just one day. Anyway, the new god is her own god, and has nothing to do with the devil. The whole country began a vigorous era of believing in Beelzebub, but...

In Kaguya's kingdom, Beelzebub, the Western female monarch, wears a Chinese Taoist robe - obviously she traveled here before the Taika Reform, otherwise she should wear the costume of the Heian period in Area 11, with a Taoist robe, a white beard, and a sword on her back.

It’s a bit like what Brother Tian meant when he said that the Heavenly Father has come down to earth.

"should

120

It's a misunderstanding, Prim, don't cause trouble to the lord. "Kaguya has accepted her fate, but now her reputation may not be very good (no, in fact, it is Levi who has a bad reputation). She glanced at Levi gently, then knelt down with her head lowered and said: "I'm sorry, we are late, sorry to cause you trouble, it is our fault to trouble you."

Mmm, nice butt.

Kneeling on the ground with clothes on is not a big deal, but the problem is that Kaguya is still wearing that... thong-like sexy underwear. That's another story.

"Ah, everyone, stand up and talk." Li Wei waved his hand to signal everyone not to care. The key is that he is not embarrassed, but others are embarrassed: "Hey, who is Lu Lu?"

"Oh, Miss Lu Lu... I saw her just now. She seemed to be talking about something with Ms. Olika." Prim suddenly blushed and covered her hot cheeks and said, "Something, something... should be here soon."

"bump!"

Suddenly, the door opened. The one who entered was the Elf Knight Chloe. She looked inside and saw that there was no naked party going on. She pouted in boredom and said proudly, "The Queen of the Dark Elves, the ruler of Brittany and the protector of the whole territory. The Lord of the Dark King City, the daughter of the Goddess Rose, Olika Tiscolentia is here!"

In theory, he is still Levi's superior.

Everyone bowed.

Levi also joined in the fun and nodded.

He? He calls himself a subject without using his name, does not bow to the emperor when he sees him, and goes to the palace with a sword and shoes - what kind of etiquette is required?

The others saluted one after another. In name, they were all Olika's subordinates.

"Okay." He gently placed his hand on Chloe's shoulder, signaling her to leave. Aurika was a little tired - mainly mentally. She walked to her gorgeous throne and sat down. Anyway, besides sitting on the throne, she, as a queen, only used magic to farm. Her status might be a little higher than the toilet emperor of the human empire: "Whatever you have to discuss, discuss it yourselves..."

"Huh? Isn't Lulu with you?" Levi was puzzled: "What happened today is somewhat related to her..."

"She? She said she's not interested in attending the imperial meeting, and I'm not interested in talking to her." Olika waved her hand indifferently. She had been sidelined anyway. I don't know why, but she seemed to be blushing when she spoke. Fortunately, her skin color... She's not dark, just a healthy bronze color. So a little blushing can be seen--

"? What happened to this little girl?"

"She's not young, she's the oldest among us." Alancia, the leader of the Knights of the Princesses, grumbled, "She's already 28 years old, but she looks young because she's a halfling. Tsk... she's an old woman."

"What happened?"

"Oh." Chloe came to the rescue at this time and interrupted, "She insisted that she could sleep with you, give birth to children, and be your lover; my master said no. She didn't believe it, so my master told her to try to get 40 centimeters in. The halfling named Lulu didn't believe it. 40 centimeters was the length of her upper body - of course she couldn't get in. But she told my master that the belly of a halfling is elastic, so it's not impossible to expand it by 40 centimeters..."

"Ah, stop, stop, stop... Tell her to stop talking nonsense in the future." Li Wei was so angry. How come all the civil and military officials in the court fell in love with me? What kind of female-oriented novel routine is this? Oh... All the ministers are women, this is a male-oriented novel.

Besides, who said 40 centimeters? -- Those of you who haven't experienced what I've experienced, can you please stop secretly measuring your belly? Really, it's like the interests of men and women in ancient feudal society are bound together, and must be bound together in bed. Ridiculous!

…but it’s true.

The Black Beast is not an optimistic feudal literature.

But at the moment, Black Beast is too optimistic.

"She said she wouldn't come to the imperial meeting? Go, send a few people over and bring her over... Let's talk about our own business first." Levi shook his head and said, "First of all, the issue of food distribution this month will be transported from the Dark King City. Kaguya, nine tons; Alencia, twelve tons..."

Levi entered a bunch of numbers, but it was definitely not enough.

"I suggest you write down the names of every serf who wants to eat. These serfs are your property, not mine - write down the names of every serf and compile them into a household register for me, so that I can give you food every month. If they starve to death, they are your property anyway."

"We have been working very hard on the editing work." Kaguya looked a little hurt and said, "But, a mere nine tons of food really can't feed more than 20,000 of us... I hope you can..."

"Others are also starving, let the people suffer, and I will bear the blame." Li Wei had a thorough understanding - in the surrender area, he must understand the other party's household registration system. Once the household registration system is understood, the tax system will be understood. The administration will be understood from top to bottom; from inside to outside, everything will be clear.

"I'll have my elves check to see how many of you there are. Just report truthfully. I'll see if anyone has claimed more than they deserve, or is hiding less than they deserve."

"...Sometimes I am a little confused." Olika, who was sitting on the throne, certainly didn't understand. At this time, she asked naively: "Why do you want to know so much? Do you want to exercise the right of first night?"

"Oh~" Suddenly, all the women present shouted

121

Oh, I see.

"What do you understand! - Of course not!"

Chapter 54: Married woman knight + maternal saint elf + incompetent transvestite husband =?

"Celestine..."

"..."

The noble elf called Celestine just stared up at the sky, motionless.

The lady next to her, wearing a gorgeous and majestic... bikini plate armor, is called Claudia.

These two are small branches of the Catholic Church, similar to the island Christianity or the Coptic Church in Africa. Basically, the emperor is far away and the isolation is serious. For example, the Coptic Church in East Africa, let alone you, even Green is too lazy to move. Here, a Christian faith with the [Goddess] as the center of the world is established.

Why, Britain can have a Lady of the Lake, and there are similar legends all over Europe. Monks can touch her, but I can't?

This goddess is a pure, noble, fair-skinned elven queen. Completely different from the domineering drow elves like Orika, this fair-skinned elven goddess has a motherly temperament in her eyes.

Claudia is the leader of the Royal Guards and Celestine's guard. She is responsible for the defense of the Leon Theocracy and the Cornuaya Knights. In simple terms, Claudia is a state violence agency. She is a real power holder who combines the military, police, constitution, and special forces.

Married, wife.

In a sense, a widow is a "transvestite husband" and is completely "not good enough". As for the married life of both parties...

Just sit down with some old bastards who are several decades older and talk about how good they were at Dota, CS, and StarCraft back then (and even now). It's all the same:

Completely "lip service".

In order to protect Celestine, the reincarnation of the goddess, the entire Holy Knights of the Goddess Guards are composed of female holy knights. Although they are women, Claudia is the leader of the group, and ordinary male swordsmen can't get close to her at all - not even her husband can get close.

In her teenage years before she became a widow, she was already a girl with a reputation as a brave woman who had fought in hundreds of battles, and was recognized as the ultimate female knight. However, what appeared on Claudia's face now was neither a fierce will to fight nor a sense of righteous indignation.

If I speak in classical Chinese, then it is a bit... Alas. Once I became a captive, my waist became heavy and my hair turned gray. The most hurried day was the day when I left the temple. The music hall still played the farewell song, and I shed tears to the palace maids.

To speak human words is to panic.

To put it simply...it means being a coward.

If you can’t kill people with stacked armor, you are a coward if you can’t kill people!

"These bandits are very powerful. They always have strange schemes to use, and there are always people who are not trustworthy." A trace of anxiety and uneasiness flashed across the beautiful face of Claudia, the leader of the Knights of the Princesses. "Now, I am afraid that only the demons in the south can be compared with them."

"I think that even if we defend with all our might, there will definitely be a tough battle... and by then... there will be a huge loss of lives."

"Yeah." Celestine nodded slightly.

Unlike the bikini-clad lady knight, Celestine, a saintly character with a strong maternal nature, wears something quite revealing. No matter how you look at it, it's only suitable for posing, because from the lower abdomen to the calf, there is a not very wide black ribbon hanging down, covering the last bit of the area.

The type that will be seen as soon as you walk, more thong-like than a thong - fortunately, there is magic in this world. Just think of magic as being able to cover everything, including Newton's coffin.

"It seems that everything is still under the undercurrent, and it is turbulent. But... I have a faint premonition, like a ripple, and just thinking about it makes me tremble all over..."

"Is it because of the mercenaries' attack, or because..." the married woman knight asked the elven goddess.

"Yes, it's because of that big demon." The Elf Goddess's golden eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and her sexy red lips trembled: "That may be beyond my ability, because I recently felt... I felt that there is... Maybe you can't feel it in the direction of the Dark King City. But it's just a little bit of breath. That evil breath almost makes me breathless, as if the Lord of Hell... No, it's simply hell! All the demons of hell are partying in it!"

What you said...

almost.

You know what, the detection is quite accurate, Blind Justice, Lucifer, Beelzebub, the three-headed dog of Hell...

This lineup is enough to make the world tremble - but they just come here to eat.

At most, I can just follow the trend and play a few games of Chicken Dinner.

“That evil aura…” Claudia hesitated for a moment and continued, “I sent several groups of trusted subordinates to take a look. After they came back, they were not overly critical of the demon’s rule. My goddess, this demon has been constantly suppressing all resistance forces, but these resistance forces are all entrenched bandits. He… also distributed food to all humans, halflings, and elves, and really acted as a protector. Not long ago, a priest from the church proved that he is indeed a Catholic…”

...?

They both saw the word "bullshit" in each other's eyes.

I don't believe it anyway.
