Chapter 1191 The Rise of Great Britain
The Kushans were sharpening their swords, planning to rise again.
The Han Dynasty is also sharpening its knives. If the Kushans are seeking their own death, they can't be blamed.
You Xiongnu, you are disgusting, right? I will just scatter all your Kushan ashes.
The Huns are a red line, whoever touches them will die.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty began to put pressure on the aristocratic families. They had to ensure that Great Britain and Rome would fight each other, so that they could allocate manpower to defeat the Kushan Empire and make it paralyzed, completely making the Kushan Empire a thing of the past.
The Han Dynasty no longer cares about what tricks the Kushans use, just as they did not care about how many schemes the Xiongnu used to scheme in the northern border.
Rush forward and kill the Kushans with a chopper. This is the only outcome.
However, the Han Dynasty was still wary of Rome and had to admit that the only opponent worthy of being regarded as an opponent by the Han Dynasty on the current continents of Asia, Europe and Africa was Rome.
But we can only regard them as opponents. There is no two suns in the sky and no two masters on the earth. Sooner or later, the winner will be decided.
In order to encourage Great Britain and Rome to fight to the death, the Han Dynasty began to pass on some things that could truly be called secret teachings to Great Britain through the noble families that had already infiltrated Great Britain.
As for what to do if things go wrong, God knows. Anyway, we have Rome in front to support us, so it doesn’t matter even if Great Britain becomes a super giant.
There can't be two tigers in one mountain. The relationship between Britain and Rome is not only a personal feud, but also a conflict of interests.
There is absolutely no possibility of the two sides uniting. The only result is that one side will completely fall and become nourishment for the other side.
Although the people of Great Britain knew that this was a sugar-coated bullet sent by the Han Dynasty to drive them to fight Rome desperately, from Artoria on down, everyone was grateful to the Han Dynasty.
There is only one reason.
That is, even without the Han Dynasty's motivation, they would have to fight Rome desperately.
Therefore, even when these noble families began to rely on contributions to demand Great Britain's territory, Great Britain always maintained a positive attitude.
They do not treat the noble families differently based on their status, but simply regard them as a small tribe. Since these noble families have made contributions, then as the king of Great Britain, Altria will confer upon them due rewards.
After all, Great Britain was not an empire of the classical type, but a federal empire, where the king and the knights ruled together.
"Have you read the Han family's application?" Gawain placed a stack of documents on Altria's desk and asked in a deep voice.
"The request is very reasonable, I have agreed!" Altria nodded.
“You should know that the land that the Han family asked for is the richest land in Great Britain!” Gawain said impatiently.
"Gawain! They are also knights under my command now!" Altria interrupted Gawain and said seriously.
"I'm sorry, King. I was confused for a moment!" Gawain immediately knelt on the ground.
He didn't know whether he had prejudice in his heart or not, but he always rejected the joining of these families, even though they did bring real benefits to Great Britain.
But when the richest land in Great Britain was granted to the knights of the noble family, Gawain could no longer suppress his restlessness and wanted to make a suggestion, but was stopped by Altria's words.
"Gao Wenqing, I have seen such a sentence in the classics of the Han Dynasty!"
Altria stopped what she was doing and looked at Gawain seriously.
"Unite all forces that can be united, because unity is the greatest strength!"
"Sorry to disappoint you!" Gawain lowered his head even more. He understood the meaning of Altria's words and he felt ashamed.
"Put down your work and take the Knights of the Round Table to the Chen family's fiefdom and the Winston family's fiefdom. Several special monsters of the Boundary Breaking Level have appeared on their fiefdoms. Lead the team to deal with them and give yourself a break!"
After saying this, Altria paused, then tapped the desktop and continued.
"Go and see for yourself what those noble families are doing and what our nobles are doing!"
" Never believe what you hear, always observe with your own eyes, Gao Wenqing, you have been away from the bottom for too long!"
Altria's words made Gawain break out in a cold sweat. He knew Altria, and that was why he could hear the seriousness in Altria's words.
He had only seen this level of seriousness in Altria a few times before.
So Gawain began to examine his own behavior, and suddenly realized that his prejudice against the aristocratic families seemed to come from the inadvertent complaints of nobles of all sizes.
But he didn't really understand the content behind these complaints.
After Gawain left, Altria rubbed her brows tiredly.
"Have those guys even begun to influence Gawain?"
Altria felt a little tired. The nobility seemed to have become a cancer. Even Lord Gawain, the calmest of the Knights of the Round Table, had begun to be affected.
This kind of family power will not disappear, it will only change into a different form.
In Rome they were senators, in the Han Dynasty they were aristocratic families, in Parthia they were nobles, and now in Great Britain they are all here. One can imagine to what a hellish degree the internal infighting has reached.
Even a powerful knight like Gawain was affected.
This gave Artoria a headache. The great enemy Rome was clearly right next to them, but instead of trying to solve this big problem, they were frantically attacking each other internally.
To be honest, Altria knew that the aristocratic families were not easy to deal with.
Some nobles were even tricked by the aristocratic families into causing trouble for them. Only in this way could the aristocratic families be better integrated into the collective.
This is the wisdom of the family.
Altria was wise enough to see through all of this, but she could only watch silently, as her identity meant that she could not take the initiative to intervene.
There will always be compromise and balance within an empire, and now Artoria is maintaining this balance.
At least we must ensure forward development. The technology brought by the family is both an opportunity and a challenge.
She needed to let the process be natural, so she kept watching.
But things did not develop in a good direction, but instead began to develop in the direction of division.
So this time, she chose the Han family and the Winston family as an example to scare the monkeys.
The reason why she let Gawain bring the Knights of the Round Table was that she understood that Gawain would uproot both families.
Because these two families have unclean backgrounds and have been acting more and more recklessly in recent days, Artoria wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Originally, she planned to give this task to Lancelot, but she didn't expect that Gawain would also be drawn into this vortex.
Then she might as well go with the flow, let Gawain sink deeper into the whirlpool, and then calm it down.
It’s not that she doesn’t have more gentle means, but Altria feels that some drastic measures are needed to quell the internal problems.
"You humans are trouble!" Lucifer walked out of the void.
"You showed up after Gawain left. Doesn't that just prove that you already understood?" Altria said calmly and continued to deal with the documents in her hands.
With too many cultures blending together, there are too many frictions and problems, and many things need her to handle personally.
There is no way around it. Every matter she handles now will be treated as a later case, so she must be as impartial, fair and just as possible.
"According to your previous instructions, Scathach and the others have figured it out in the Shadow Kingdom. Their ideas are basically the same as what you thought!" Lucifer sighed.
It had never admired a human being so much. In its eyes, Altria was simply an omniscient and omnipotent being who did almost everything as perfectly as possible.
"Successful? What are the experimental results!" Artoria once again put down the work in her hands and raised her head to look at Lucifer.
"This is the result of the experiment. You should be able to interpret it!" Lucifer counted with his fingers, and a point of light fell into Altria's hands.
"Sure enough, there is a possibility that the Fantasy Warrior can go further!" Artoria's eyes were bright.
"Celtic mythology, the Fairy Lake, the Fantasy Warriors of the Han Dynasty, the Valhalla of Northern Europe, the Greek Hades, the Fallen Angels of Hell... You can actually combine all these things together!" Lucifer was full of amazement.
"After all, their foundation comes from Valhalla, so it's best to call them heroes!" Altria said with a little joy.
Similar to the Kushans, they completed their resurrection and rescued their dead soldiers from the reincarnation in mythology.
Great Britain also achieved comparable results after combining a lot of information and intelligence.
The summoning of heroic spirits, in simple terms, means transforming the soldiers who died in battle into heroic spirits and giving them a new life.
In other words, every person in Great Britain has two lives. They can use the first life to fight, and after death they can become a hero and live a second life.
This thing was the inspiration given to her by the infinite resurrection of the angels during the previous War in Heaven.
The Kingdom of Shadows is the boundary between life and death, or in layman's terms, it can be called the underworld.
With the participation of Lucifer, the second-in-command of Heaven, Great Britain's military power can almost be said to have doubled.
More importantly, even if this main world can block resurrection temporarily, it cannot resurrect for a lifetime, so the success rate of replicating the heroic spirit is almost ninety-nine percent.
The remaining one percent would naturally have their will wiped out directly by the gods who broke through the world.
However, no matter how many talented people there were in Rome and the Han Dynasty, at most they could use this method of completely erasing their wills on the officers, and most of the soldiers could still replicate the heroic spirits through vision.
When it comes to imperial wars, soldiers and troops are the majority, and there are always replacements for generals and the like.
"The chance of winning has increased by 20%!" Altria laughed.
Rome is like a mountain standing in front of Great Britain. Unless they defeat Rome, they will always have to face the pressure from Rome.
"Are you confident that you can handle Rome now?"
Lucifer was a little surprised. To be honest, he had always found the existence of empires like the Roman and Han dynasties inexplicable. They were so powerful that even an archangel from mythology found them absurd.
"Fifty-five percent sure!" Altria nodded.
"But... the Rome before and the Rome now... I don't know!"
Altria added that the only difference between them, Great Britain, and other empires is that they don't have to face the barbarians.
At least 700,000 to 800,000 barbarians died on the battlefield with the Yuan family, but not even a splash was made within Roman territory.
There is a cold joke in the Roman Senate.
That is, all of Rome's main combat Eagle Banner Legion were killed in battle, and the number of Roman troops left was only 99.99 percent.
Compared with the Roman barbarians, the number of Roman citizens was really pitifully small, which was why the Senate tried every means to weaken the barbarians.
The trunk is weak but the branches are strong, and even a three-year-old child knows what will happen.
For example, using the emperor to control the princes...
For example, in history, when a Roman barbarian ascended the throne, chaos was almost imminent.
When Rome was fighting against Britain, one of its hands was tied, and the barbarians in the country were holding Rome back, so Rome could not free up its hands to focus on dealing with Britain.
This is also the reason why Rome did not first deal with Great Britain, which was so close to it, but instead traveled thousands of miles to deal with the Parthian Empire first.
But even so, they only had a 35% winning rate before, and even 10% of the winning rate came from allies such as Lucifer and the Aristocratic Family, and half of it came from the Yuan Family.
The remaining 20% is the level of Great Britain. Now that the strength has doubled, the chance of winning can be increased by another 20%.
But this is based on the premise that Rome is complacent. But obviously, Rome cannot be complacent, so Artoria cannot determine their real chances of winning.
However, it is obvious that this breakthrough is an extremely significant breakthrough for them. At least the doubling of their strength is real.
"Just remember your promise!" Lucifer snorted coldly, "If you can't do it, I will destroy all your hard work."
"This is our hard work!" Altria emphasized.
"Hmph!" Lucifer didn't say much, just snorted coldly, and then disappeared into the void.
"Training..."
After Lucifer left, Altria lowered her head and thought, Rome was training troops, they also needed a place to train, but which place was suitable for them?
Now that the general outline of the world was no longer a secret, Altria's gaze followed the strait directly to Africa.
Both they and Rome have accumulated too much strength on the border, and once the war breaks out, it will almost be a decisive battle.
Meanwhile, Rome and the Yuan family were fighting in the east, and their joining would only intensify the conflict, which was not a good choice for them.
So in the end, Artoria's eyes fell on Africa. Although this place was the territory of Rome, the actual occupants were more wild beasts and African natives.
These indigenous kingdoms fought against the beast tide under the leadership of Rome, and also served as Rome's invisible vassal armies to fight against Great Britain.
It is a good choice to start the attack from such places.
It is entirely possible to send some people to Africa to carry out sabotage, weaken Rome as much as possible while training troops.
