Otherwise, you can find another savior.

"Mab's northern elves demonstrated another value of 'humanity' to Britain," Shiomi said. "In these villages in the southeast, the ratio of elves to humans is roughly two to eight. In other words, it's not an exaggeration to say that these human settlements are maintained with the support of individual elves."

Jian's pupils suddenly contracted and his expression became one of surprise and uncertainty.

"You mean...will the goblins be inspired by this war and regard villages with large human populations as threats, and take the initiative to eliminate them?"

The clouds of war had just passed, so how could these goblins...

No, it was precisely because the shadow of war had just passed.

The Southern Goblins were always on the defensive, and were only saved in the end because the Northern Goblins took the initiative to retreat. Their bloodthirsty desires were not satisfied by the war, so they would definitely seek compensation from other places.

At the same time, you can also vent your anger.

The anger of being defeated by human soldiers.

"No, it has already begun."

Standing on the hill, Shiomi stretched out his finger and pointed to a village in the southeast.

The village was burning, and even from a distance, one could see goblins slaughtering people indiscriminately, sparing no one, whether human or goblin.

There are several such villages in this area.

At this rate, the remaining villages will eventually be unable to survive. After all, Britain is so small that there will be a time when they cannot escape.

"What should we do?" Jian was confirming what Xijian was thinking.

She had a feeling that after coming out of the big cave, Shiomi made some decision in his heart but did not tell her.

Bawan Xi and Teterlot, who were following behind, also noticed the situation, ended their chat, and waited nervously for Shiomi's instructions.

"That village is already destroyed, but this is just as well. It saves us the trouble of identifying our target."

Shiomi raised her hands high.

Magic interfered with the sky, dark clouds appeared, and lightning and thunder flashed.

Thick magical power gathered right above the burning village.

By the time the goblins who were slaughtering the village realized that this was not a normal change in the weather, thunder came crashing down, turning them into dust that became part of the ruins of the village.

【history】

In the autumn of the 2000th year of the Fairy Calendar, not long after the end of the "Summer War", some fairies from the Wind and Tooth clans attacked and massacred the human villages in the southeast of the island.

This unprovoked massacre brought about a commensurate divine punishment.

Afterwards, the sage and the savior came to the surviving village and became the protectors of the humans and fairies there.

The villages that were never able to grow strong gradually merged.

That was the origin of the city of Londinium, the headquarters of the human army later known as the Knights of the Round Table.

Chapter 75 Londinium

This time was later called the 400-year node of the fairy calendar.

In the southeastern region of Britain, on the plains where the Thames flows, a city called Londinium has been established for 1000 years.

"That's all in the report, Madam City Lord."

A human-looking guard knelt on one knee, reporting the situation to the woman on the throne.

"That's good, but as usual, the Thames is in danger of flooding this season. Order everyone along the banks of Londinium and upstream areas outside the city to prepare for flood control."

Jian placed the document in his hand on the table beside him and gave orders to the guards below.

"As ordered!"

"Then, next one." Ash said to Bawan Xi who was standing beside him.

Bawan Xi immediately raised his hand towards the palace gate, and the next soldier to report came in.

This time it's a fairy with green skin and pointed ears.

"Report! The scaffolding used to repair the city defenses was attacked by black dogs! About 15 humans and goblins working on the repairs were killed on the spot, and over 20 more were injured!"

Black dogs are unique creatures of Britain, drawn to the stench of dying creatures. Unaffiliated with the six great clans, they are members of the Unseelie Court, a pervasive evil spirit that devours only fairies.

"Black Dog..." His brows arched as he made a quick decision. "Immediately mobilize replacements from the Works Administration and begin collecting the bodies of the deceased. Then, dispatch doctors who are skilled in healing from the hospital to treat the injured workers."

After finishing speaking, Jian added, as if he was worried:

"No goblin is allowed to desecrate human corpses. Anyone who violates this order will be severely punished."

"As ordered!"

The goblin who came to report retreated, and Jian placed the documents in his hand on the table, indicating that Bawan Xi would sort them out later.

"How many more are there?" Ash asked Bawan Xi.

"This should be the last one. Lady Witch can go back to your room to rest later. Just leave the chores to me." Bawan Xi said seriously.

Jian showed a relaxed expression: "Then it's just like usual... By the way, where is Tetrot?"

"He should be in the textile management department now, supervising that matter." Bawan Xi added.

"There's no need to rush into it now... Doesn't my husband always say, 'Build high walls, store up food, and take your time to claim the throne'?"

Having said that, Jian thought about the time.

"It's been three days since the last battle report from the front line came back. Is there any new information?"

"Not yet—"

Just as Bawan Xi was about to report the truth, another soldier came running from the palace gate, holding a special token and letter in his hand, so he had a smooth journey.

Finally, he came before Jian, who had not yet left the throne, knelt on one knee, and presented the battle report with both hands.

"The City Lord has sent a message from his subordinates at the front line. Please review it, Madam City Lord!"

Bawan Xi walked down the three steps of the throne, came to the man and took the battle report, then gestured for the man to go down and rest, and then delivered the battle report to Jian.

Jian opened the battle report, quickly scanned the familiar handwriting on it, and then showed a look of joy.

"My husband has won another resounding victory against the anti-Londinian coalition this time." Ash handed the battle report to Bawan Xi for filing. "He will lead his army back to Londinian in triumph soon."

"That's really good news." Bawan Xi was also happy along with Jian from the bottom of her heart.

Three months have passed since Shiomi led the Round Table Army of Londinium to defeat the hostile forces.

Ash wasn't worried that Xijian would fail, but sometimes she couldn't help but wonder why it would take so much time to defeat the coalition of fairy clans that had split from their respective clans and were hostile to Londinium.

But Xijian's answer was that it was a very prudent job to scare and hurt these opposing fairy forces, but not to kill them, so that they could behave themselves for dozens or even hundreds of years.

If they are wiped out all at once, the result will be that these goblins will be reborn as the next generation in other places, and nothing will change. Even these next generations will not remember the things of the previous generations.

This also includes the pain and fear of being beaten.

"Lady Witch, can we start preparing for the ceremony to welcome the Sage back to Londinium?" asked Bawan Xi.

Jian came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

After receiving the order, Bawan Xi left the audience hall with the documents and reports that needed to be filed to prepare all matters.

The originally spacious hall suddenly became deserted. Only the guards everywhere were silent and didn't even look away.

"The City Lord's Wife..."

Jian stretched quietly. Even if the guards wouldn't notice, she still wanted to maintain a certain demeanor in front of others.

In the autumn after the "Summer War", Shiomi annihilated the fairies that attacked the village, and then entered the surviving village with her, Tetrot and Bawan Xi.

Soon, these villages were gradually conquered by his power and accepted his governance.

The originally scattered villages began to gradually merge into one, and 1000 years ago, a city called Londinium was built around the banks of the Thames.

The construction process did not rely on magic, but was completed by the fairies who were willing to coexist with humans, as well as the humans who lived here, over hundreds of years.

Humans can survive, and fairies who are willing to coexist with humans on an equal footing can also survive.

This is the most basic rule of Londinium.

This alone has touched the nerves of other fairy clans.

Later, when Jian looked back on what happened during that period, she realized that Xi Jian had deliberately made such a big fuss in order to divide the ideas of the various clans, let those restless fairies take the initiative, and then give these fairies a head-on blow again and again.

600 years ago, a great disaster once again swept across Britain. After suppressing the disaster, Londinium reorganized the army and named it the "Round Table Army".

Jian knew that it was a name that appeared in the pan-human history in which he lived.

The most powerful human in the army was knighted.

Because of his bravery in suppressing the great disaster 600 years ago, Tetrot was successively named Fairy Knight along with the Black Knight and Reinecke who fought with him.

Grimm refused the title, saying that he was just a helping hand and had no interest in becoming a knight.

After that, Shiomi became the "Lord" of Londinium, and Ash became the "Lord's Wife", governing the city together with her.

She originally thought that Xiomi would declare herself king directly, but Xiomi was not in a hurry. She just said, "If Jian wants to become the fairy princess sooner, she can declare herself king immediately."

And proposed the strategy of "slowly becoming king".

—Of course, he said it was just imitating history.

Standing on the terrace of the bedroom, Jian looked out at Londinium. After thousands of years of development, the city had become what she had dreamed of when she was a teenager.

"With this Londinium as the foundation, we will establish our own millennial kingdom of perpetual peace in Britain."

In the spring breeze, Jian's heart felt warm and soft, and she whispered to herself about the agreement she had made with him.

Chapter 76: City Lord and His Wife

For the citizens of Londinium, the city lord's triumph has always been an exciting thing.

No matter disaster or external enemy, the city lord can always lead the army of Londinium to victory.

Even though they had been leading the army on an expedition for several months, leaving the city depleted of troops, they were not afraid.

Not only would the city lord return to rescue immediately, but also the city lord's wife, who was in charge of the rear and governed Londinium, had once toured Britain in the name of the savior, and her strength was comparable to that of Queen Mab of the King's Clan.

Amidst the rain of flowers, the city lord led his army back to Londinium.

Citizens came out of the city to line the streets to welcome him, cheering "Lord of the City", which intertwined with the sound of the bells ringing on the city walls, forming a piece of music that resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.

"We're only suppressing the anti-Londinian forces. How can we possibly deserve such a grand welcome?"

Xijian caught a petal, sighed helplessly, but did not stop.

After crossing the drawbridge at the city gate and entering the main road leading to the city lord's palace, he saw a group of people waiting to greet him on the road, as well as the triumphant army behind him.

He raised his hand slightly, signaling Reinecke and the Black Knight behind him to stop, and the army also stopped.

Then he walked forward alone and came in front of Jian.

"Just wait for me to come back in the palace. Why bother mobilizing so many troops to come out to greet me?" Xijian said.

"If I don't come out to greet you, what if the citizens think we have a disagreement and cause panic among the people? Wouldn't that be even worse?" Jian's eyes showed a slightly complacent look.

"You're right. Thank you for your hard work in arranging this welcome ceremony besides looking after the rear." Xi Jian gently held her arm, and they turned and walked towards the palace together.

Behind him, Reinecke, the Black Knight, and other knights took their respective soldiers to the military camp inside the city wall to rest.

"No, since the establishment of Londinium, Bawan Xi has been taking care of these chores for me." Ash said, and signaled with his eyes to Bawan Xi who was following them.

Xijian smiled and said, "It might be a little late to tell you now. You've grown a lot."

"No, no, no, it's all thanks to the teachings of the Sage and the Witch." Bawan Xi said happily and humbly.

Normally, fairies in Britain don't grow up and are born to do specific things.

But Bawan Xi achieved growth as a fairy through continuous efforts.

Even though her character as a low-ranking fairy could not be erased, she was still considered one of the most powerful fairies in Londinium.

Currently, Bawan Xi serves as his and Jian's secretary and is one of their confidants.

For thousands of years, she has been working diligently and diligently to fulfill her duties, and has never let him and Jian down.

"Where are the sage and the witch..." Xijian looked at Jian with some amusement.

They have long since stopped using these two names - although they are still widely known.

"Just consider it one of Bawan Xi's privileges," said Ash.
