Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

"?"

"I'll give you 10 gold coins every day."

“??? Uh, no need, I was going to throw it away anyway…”

"No, no, no, give me more."

"...Can you give us more of this magical tool? It only takes ten minutes a day to solve the problem. It's really efficient! But we need to lie side by side, which is a bit uncomfortable."

"I can do more, but I can't do it in this position."

Because that's the way it is in all the books.

The cows on the human farm were led to the stalls, fixed, and then put on several milking devices. So far, it was scientific, but then a male employee came to urge the cows to milk, and he kept talking to them - this is very unscientific. It's so hard to industrialize farming, how can one employee be hired for each cow? Isn't this nonsense?

————————————————————

Levi was very happy. Today he got 10,000 well-trained soldiers, 5,000 heavy archers and 5,000 berserkers.

Including the original troops, I can conquer the entire European continent... well... maybe not. Xia Lulu's army is larger, and the enemy has no fewer cheats than me. Thirty thousand people is still a little small, but there is definitely no problem wandering around locally.

In the morning, we entertained foreign guests.

At noon, entertain the country's generals.

At night, find your own lady.

These three groups of people are all from the same group.

Of course, there was another wave of people running here today. However, because they did not go through official channels, and they did not come to see Levi, Levi was not very clear.

But his intelligence system is clear.

Several young female knights ran over quickly and came to find Queen Mother Beltrada.

Beltrada almost collapsed after receiving the news.

The content is very simple, it is about her pregnancy

During this time, dear Xia Lulu, the beautiful young version of Charlemagne, was actively gathering soldiers. This was normal, and she knew it.

Then the handsome young emperor walked eastward and arrived in the Saxony region.

This is normal, as they are pagans. They often have friction with each other, and the friction often leads to fatal sparks.

It's just that this time Charlemagne brought out another 50,000 troops - and then all 50,000 troops were trapped. The key is that this time the Saxons played a vast ocean of people's war.

That’s not all. The 50,000-strong army was in a dilemma.

On the other side, Charlemagne's brother was watching covetously. If no army was arranged to take charge, something serious would happen.

Beltrada sighed.

I thought that this eldest son was filial, but he still had to rely on his mother to help at critical moments.

Just like how Augustus Octavian had to rely on his mother to seduce Antony at the last moment, and the two giants who formed the second triumvirate formed an alliance to fight against Brutus.

Beltrada launched a tear offensive - hoping that Levi could send troops quickly to rescue Charlemagne who was trapped.

113 War Otome World Line

Since the collapse of the Roman Empire, the light of Western European civilization has been extinguished. That period of time was really a "dark age" that cannot be described. The invasion of barbarians brought not only terrible scenes during war, but also large-scale barbaric rule in peacetime. When the stars of the human race shine, you can refer to the African monarch head. From a right of first night that everyone talks about, we can get a glimpse of the whole picture.

Ensheng once talked about this issue.

Similar behavior is recorded in the famous Irish book "The Bull Raiders" - the text is full of minotaurs.

In fact, sometimes you can just close your eyes and ignore others, but if you really can't, just treat it as a joke from hell.

But Charlemagne obviously didn't have this ability.

The Saxons, in theory, were of the same ancestry as Charlemagne, the Germanic barbarian. It was a case of one family fighting one family, but to be more precise, it was the believers of the foreign religion who fought against the Boxers who refused to reform.

What is even more terrifying is that the believers have the upper hand. Since twenty years ago, Charlemagne's father has frequently attacked the Saxons.

At this time, it was a bit like the Jurchens unified the three major tribes, and the mature Jurchens looked down on the raw Jurchens - otherwise, how could a dog be born in the capital of X? (——"Teahouse") The fighting lasted until 790, and Charlemagne had been in power for several years this year. There were three main benefits of fighting the other side:

1. I found my hometown, the Horqin Grassland - expanding the territory and returning to the place where my ancestors rose from, is that ok?

2. Pretend to convert, then regret it: teach the love of Catholicism to your former compatriots - even if you lose a quarter of the population, so what? Although they have nothing now (including their lives), at least they have gained freedom (- Angelina Jolie).

3. It’s all my money! ! — Protect the taxation, population and trade of the areas surrounding Saxony.

The father of the beautiful boy is not good-looking, but fortunately the beautiful boy takes after his mother. Just like Shinji Ikari takes after his mother, if Shinji Ikari took after his father, EVA would not be so popular. You can think of Charlemagne - Charlemagne as a younger and more handsome version of Beltrada. You can also think of Beltrada as a female-fallen, mature, drug-transformed version of Charlemagne.

...suddenly excited.

Since 782, the Franks had achieved initial success in their reconquest of their comrades. But if you think about it carefully, how could the love-hate relationship between the two sides suddenly break out one day?

About half a year ago, Charlemagne had first sent troops to attack Li. At that time, the Saxons also received some news and knew that Charlemagne was not prepared. We have been fighting each other for so many years. Isn't it normal to take your life while you are sick? So in March this year, a church in Deventer (now in the Netherlands), a town on the northeastern border of Franks, was looted.

The casus belli has arrived.

In the same year, Charlemagne used this as an excuse to launch the Imperial Strikes Back.

There were 250,000 cavalry and 250,000 infantry, for a total army of 500,000.

——Nonsense, about 5, and this is the bonus effect of the world of hentai. The real situation should be that the combat population is less than one-tenth of this number, and the remaining nine-tenths are all civilians along the way. This is normal. During the Huaihai Campaign, our army had 60 people, and the people in the rear had nearly 543 million people (w) fully supported us, and we pushed forward the future with a cart.

Then Charlemagne's elite troops were caught in the vast ocean of people's war.

Charlemagne was in trouble.

His buddies are over there.

His brother is looking forward to his brother's death all day long. If possible, he would not hesitate to send assassins, let alone kill you while you are sick?

As a mother, Beltrada doesn't even have to think about it. She can figure out what her second son is thinking just by moving her toenails.

His own second son is going to stand up and pick up a gun to kill his own eldest son!

What kind of a weird plot is this? It must not happen!

So Beltrada came to ask Levi for help. The reason for the plea was simple: they had just "surrendered" to Charlemagne, and they had agreed not to pay taxes for three years and not to serve in the military for three years. Of course, Levi had made a lot of empty promises. But this thing was just like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou and Zhuge Xu's empty promises - go ask Guan Erye for it, if you can get it, it's yours, if you can't, it's because you are incompetent.

251

Jingzhou!

So, Beltrada came here intending to order some fine porridge.

"——Theoretically, Charlie is also half your son, you can't just ignore him!"

"?!?! Miss Belle?" Levi was really shocked by the political skills and bottom line of the woman in front of him. You can even be related to her? What the hell is this plot: "I'm only 17 (physical age) this year, I remember my Lord Charlie is already 27 this year?" Although he looks like 17, "He is my half son? Is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? You and his mother have a child!" If you say so, Levi can also be regarded as a child who was crushed to death by a truck: "Aren't you his father!"

"Stop talking! Stop talking now!" This is too much like a plot from a book. Although people can be very low-class, they still have this bottom line: "Xia Lulu is not only my monarch, but also... my friend."

Levi blushed when he said this.

"No matter what, I will help him." Because his brother is even worse, and one more external enemy makes him more important. So! It's better for you and your brother to confront each other for a while. In Levi's opinion, the two brothers are quite young, and the one on the other side is younger than Charlemagne, so can they confront each other for a lifetime?

In fact, it’s been less than two years.

"... Humph, irresponsible." The woman on the other side was very relaxed, saying all kinds of rules and regulations, "I love her, I love her, and I wish we could stay together forever." BGM: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, you are half of Xia Lulu's father. In other words, if your fatherly love exceeds that of his biological father, then you are really his father."

"No, no, no, if you keep saying that to Xia Lulu, it will be too miserable." Levi felt that his teeth were about to fall out. It was true that he looked more mature, but his attributes clearly stated that he was 17... Oh, he was almost 18 years old: "I will send troops right away - but the problem is where should I send them to?"

"Go find Xia Lulu to switch defense, but you go to Aachen first!"

"? Aren't you afraid that I will replace Xia Lulu?"

"Don't worry, you can't beat my two sons together anyway - of course, the main reason is that I trust you."

Makes sense

"Thank you for being so honest and trusting me." Levi sighed and said, "Then I will raise an army of 1,000..."

"Huh? How much?"

Earth OL, if you are the King of the Franks, and in the 1000th century AD scenario the Duke of Brittany raises an army of to support you, it definitely means he loves you.

But Levi's army of only 1,000 is no different from dealing with just one person.

"Well... then raise an army of 3,000."

"I want you to know that being Xia Lulu's father is not that easy!"

"Hey hey hey...Okay, I'll raise an army of 10,000. 5,000 heavy archers and 5,000 berserkers, how do you think?"

"Don't you have 30,000 people? At worst, I can ask Xia Lulu to provide you with half of the food and fodder."

"? I have 30,000 people here and I need supervisors too... at most 10,000 people can go."

"Twenty thousand is fine."

"No, no, at most 13,000..."

"Fifteen thousand."

"...Okay then. Fifteen thousand people - but we have a deal, Xia Lulu must provide my military pay, food, and special allowances."

"no problem."

——————————————————————————————

Levi was quite happy.

I didn't expect to be given such a big hot pillow when I felt sleepy.

Of course, there is a lot of money to be made from buying and selling spices, but everyone knows that the most profitable thing is: war!

You don't care who gets the money or whether the country can hold on. But war costs money. If you have money, throw it over. If you don't have money, don't talk. Levi used the spices sold to half of Europe to create a very stable financial system. To be precise, he asked the whole of Western Europe to help him solve the problem of excessive currency issuance.

On the other hand, he had to rely on the war to launder the money. He didn't need to launder it too much, he just had to turn it into war reserves. Money was only money when it was spent, and now he had to spend the money - on himself.

Ah? Inflation? Go talk to my spice market.

This time, Levi mobilized 15,000 soldiers.

Real number.

Military supplies were prepared by the lords along the way, and Levi had the right to directly deal with those who were not well prepared - Queen Mother Beltrada agreed. Later, Xia Lulu approved it in a handwritten letter.

[To my dearest, most honorable, and most handsome vassal, His Royal Highness Duke Levi, I am writing to you with my best wishes:

Thanks to God's grace and your kindness, I am now in good health. In Saxony, there is nothing to be happy about, but your letter alone makes my heart bloom like my first love.

Our war is not going well as you expected. If you can bring 15,000 troops as you said in your letter, that would be the happiest thing for me. Of course, because of your friendship, I am already the happiest person in the world.

When you are with an honest person, you will also be honest. When I am with you, it is the best time. We pray to the merciful God that the love between you and me will never dry up like the sea of ​​thousands of years.

Your letter is like sweetness, soaking into the river of my heart. I will take your love and become the bravest and most fearless warrior! - and then meet you again.

- Your loyal monarch, humble friend,

252

Good friendship:

Carl Charlie

When Levi arrived at Aachen, Charlemagne's reply arrived. Levi got goosebumps and almost got sick.

If you think about it, the person opposite wearing women's clothes is probably the skinny Beltrada in her youth. Although she looks very beautiful, but...

"...Do you all like talking like this?"

The messenger is Astolfo.

"Uh... Avi, can you please let me get up? I really didn't mean it. Who knew you didn't like it? Besides, isn't this just polite?"

The cute Mr. Astolfo was kneeling on the ground, holding a sign that read "I am a sinner" in his hand, and apologizing to Levi in ​​a cute way.

The Prince of England was treated like this - Astolfo didn't say anything, and his family wasn't unhappy about it, so what does it have to do with you, the servants next to you?

"I've told you a thousand times, no kissing, no kissing, no kissing!" Levi was really not impressed by Xunzong's "kissing everywhere" style of kissing diplomacy, and he kept saying to Astolfo, "I'll make sure you don't remember it, I'll make sure you don't remember it!"

"Stop scolding, stop scolding, if you continue to scold the child he will become stupid..."

"Get up." Levi pulled Astolfo up. After all, the other party had just entered the room and hugged Levi, which was a medieval noble etiquette. "By the way, are all Carolingian men so gay?"

"Ah? What? I have a family..."

"Why are you being so shy? I'm talking about Xia Lulu!" Levi shook the letter in his hand. It was so corny.
