Chapter 58: Dilemma (Please Collect and Recommend) (Revised)

The attack of the Kingdom of Sendrid came very quickly, and King Odin of Sendrid was furious! He did not even wait for the messenger of Camelot to explain the situation, and he sent troops directly. →When Kai arrived at the border, the war broke out without any signs.

If Kai had not secretly deployed the Knights of Lyon at the border to ensure the safety of Arthur and others, Camelot might have suffered a great loss when it was caught off guard. But even so, Camelot had no choice but to retreat its defense line.

There was no way, after all, no one planned to go to war with the Kingdom of Sendrid.

By the way, Eldor had been destroyed. The day after Arthur killed Prince Aledri, Eldor was destroyed by the angry nobles of the Kingdom of Sendrid. Fortunately, after killing Aledri, Arthur and others expected that the revenge of the Kingdom of Sendrid would come soon, so they persuaded the villagers to follow them back to Camelot, otherwise the hundreds of people in Eldor would definitely be hanged by the angry nobles!

But even so, more than a dozen villagers who were unwilling to move were hanged by the nobles.

Kai had no intention of paying attention to this kind of thing. He could only organize troops to resist the attack of Sendred while trying to find a way to end this trouble. He thought about contacting the nobles of the Kingdom of Sendred, hoping to reach an agreement with King Sendred through them. After all, war is not good for anyone.

Unfortunately, this is useless. King Odin of Sendred has gone crazy. → He didn't listen to any advice at all, and only wanted revenge.

In this case, Kai could only bite the bullet and deal with the Kingdom of Sendred, hoping to end this war at the lowest cost.

…

While Kai was in a mess, Camelot was not idle either. First of all, Arthur was thrown directly into the dungeon by King Uther. Of course, this was more of a show. King Uther had to give this attitude to make King Odin feel better. Once things take a turn for the better, King Uther will naturally let Arthur go, who calls Arthur the only son of King Uther.

Although Morgana and the others were not thrown into prison, they were not doing well. Morgana was confined to her house, and Merlin was whipped again by King Uther! The charge was that he did not persuade the prince.

This time, he was whipped less, only ten times. This was because King Uther was more reasonable and knew that Merlin could not be blamed for this matter, so he showed mercy.

Merlin had no complaints this time, after all, this incident did happen because of his request. If it were not for him, Arthur would not have been able to go to Eldor, and everything that happened afterwards would naturally be out of the question.

Only Gwen-Gunny was unscathed. King Uther thought very simply. He did not think that a maid like Gunny could change anything. She could not fight, and she had no chance to give orders. She was a soy sauce party from beginning to end. King Uther did not even care about her, so she was the only one who was safe.

It was also because of this that Gunny had more opportunities to contact Arthur.

Morgana was under house arrest, so even though she was worried about Arthur's situation in the dungeon, she had no chance to visit Arthur in person, so she asked the girl to take care of Arthur. Merlin happened to be whipped ten times and had no ability to take care of Arthur, so it was the girl's turn.

Arthur blamed himself for his impulsiveness.

Before he set out, Kai had told him many times not to make trouble and to come back immediately after dealing with the robbers, but he didn't expect...

Thinking that his momentary impulse would kill so many innocent lives, Arthur had the urge to commit suicide.

Fortunately, the girl stayed by his side all the time at this time, constantly encouraging him and persuading him, making him feel a little better.

It was also this back and forth that quickly heated up the relationship between the man and woman who originally admired each other. Well, it was because of the girl's understanding and lovely personality that Arthur completely ignored the girl's crooked mouth and the shortcomings of looking like a man... ah, no, it should be said that in Arthur's eyes, this girl had no shortcomings and looked very beautiful.

Fortunately, Kai is not here, otherwise he would definitely find a doctor to treat his eyes and perhaps his brain! (Every time I see the rolling mother on TV, the author can think of his fifth uncle. No, the author's fifth uncle is at least much fairer than the rolling mother!)

…

Fortunately, although both parties have a good impression of each other, they are still sober and know that their identities are not compatible, so they did not express their feelings in their hearts, but just let it ferment slowly.

Compared with the leisure of these people, King Uther will be overwhelmed.

Fighting is not playing house. There are too many things involved. These things need to be dealt with by King Uther. Originally, Arthur could help him, but Arthur really handled this matter too badly. King Uther must teach him a lesson, otherwise this stupid son might cause him even bigger trouble.

So these days, King Uther has become much more haggard. Now that the autumn harvest is about to come, the country can't mobilize many men to go to the battlefield at this time, and those mobilized men must be paid, and they must be paid in full and in excess. In an era of low productivity, the significance of autumn harvest is not just about harvesting, it is related to the life and death of many civilian families and the stability of the country.

The kingdom must not fool around with this, otherwise there will be starvation everywhere and the whole country will be shaky. Therefore, the conscription of men must be cautious, and the salary must be generous, after all, many families rely on this salary to survive the whole year.

But the problem now is that the country has no money!

The kings in the feudal era were definitely not as rich as imagined. After all, most of the country's taxes were actually controlled by many nobles, and the real money in the hands of the king was not as much as imagined. Camelot was still good, at least it was rich, but no matter how rich it was, it could not withstand the consumption of war. In particular, many of the royal family's wealth were real estate such as land, houses, castles, shops, jewelry, and artworks, and there was really not much cash.

Besides, the kingdom's annual budget was so much, and now it was before the autumn harvest, the original budget had been almost spent, and new taxes had to wait until after the autumn harvest. At this juncture, even Camelot could not come up with so much cash.

So King Uther was so worried that he lost a lot of hair. Now King Uther had the urge to sell the gold and silver decorations in the palace. But the problem was not that simple. If it could be sold, it would have been sold long ago!

If the royal family's property was sold at this time, it would alleviate the financial difficulties, but the consequences would be more serious. After all, doing so would undoubtedly tell the subjects that the royal family was already stretched to the limit!

This is the worst!

Once this happens, the morale of the people will undoubtedly be severely hit. The war has not been going on for long, and the royal family has no money... Is there any more serious blow than this?

King Uther is now full of money.

And at this time, a piece of news reached King Uther's ears.

There is a wizard's tomb under Camelot!

It is said that the owner of the tomb is the wizard, the most powerful wizard in history - Cornelius Sagan! There are countless treasures buried in his tomb. If those treasures are taken out, they can buy three entire kingdoms!
