Within the empire, a small group of people wouldn’t cause much of a ripple, but on the island of Great Britain, a few hundred or thousand troops could influence the overall situation.
At that ti, just by pulling so cannon fodder together, one could claim a force of tens of thousands.
In historical wars, the numbers of troops were often exaggerated, and the proportion of real professional soldiers was not high.
At this stage, Duncan is still primarily focused on improving his personal strength. If the opportunity arises, he might consider helping the Duke of Dingtiger repel this Saxon invasion first.
Today, the Duke of Dingtiger suffered a major defeat, and within the next two days at the most, the Saxon troops will launch a massive invasion.
"The smaller the battlefield, the more advantageous it is for now."
From the god’s perspective.
Duncan instructed his human form to rest, when suddenly his brow furrowed. In the projection screen, a unit marked as ’Servant Demon’ appeared outside the castle.
—— Servant Demon - Night Owl (One Star) (Animal Form) [Neutral].
Hmm?
Duncan did not expect to encounter a supernatural unit so soon. He rose and picked up his battle bow, hesitated for a mont, and quietly knocked on the Crow Queen Triss’s chamber door.
Leave professional matters to the professionals.
Duncan is quite self-aware in this regard; even as a monarch, he reckons he could only learn from Liu Bang, making full use of people, and if he had to do things himself, his greatest skill would likely be cutting down foes.
He might be capable of leading troops in battle, but managing military logistics and regional governance would be challenging.
He is more suited to be a fierce general like Xiang Yu.
This ti, in contacting the Duke of Dingtiger, it was clear that Anya was more adept than him.
The door opened.
Crow Queen Triss smiled charmingly, but upon seeing Duncan with his battle bow, her expression changed slightly as she asked, "What happened?"
Duncan whispered, "There’s sothing outside."
"I saw a sowhat unusual night owl; it’s already circled this place several tis."
Crow Queen Triss rose and said seriously, "Take to see."
Duncan’s spirituality is extraordinary.
Especially in sensing danger, Crow Queen Triss completely trusts him.
"It’s not a Druid."
Crow Queen Triss held a rune stone in her palm, her eyes seeming to pierce the night as she saw the Servant Demon, speaking seriously, "It’s a Servant Demon summoned by a wizard."
"A creature that does not belong to the real world."
She softly explained, "Only a truly powerful wizard can summon creatures that don’t belong to reality."
"On the island of Great Britain, I fear there is only one wizard capable of this."
rlin!
Back in Paris, Crow Queen Triss had also contacted Anya through so unknown thod, Duncan then wasn’t sure how she had signaled, thinking it was by controlling birds in the wild.
A creature not belonging to the real world?
Are there other planes?
Right.
The Valkyrie seen through the god’s perspective today clearly did not fall within the realm of reality.
This is the island of Great Britain, ho to the mist-covered Avalon.
Supernatural powers are evidently more common.
Crow Queen Triss explained, "rlin is Cambyon, half-human and half-demon; he was born with great magic power."
"He alone can summon Servant Demons."
Duncan seed to understand a bit, unconsciously glanced at Triss in front of him; rlin is half-human, half-demon, so what about her?
She too was born with strong supernatural powers.
Crow Queen Triss, at this mont, seed to guess Duncan’s thoughts, hesitated slightly in her expression but still softly said, "I have the bloodline of a Banshee."
As she said this, she couldn’t help but observe Duncan’s reaction.
Banshee.
In this era, it does not have a good reputation, and her lineage leans more towards the Nightmare Boggart, known for enchanting n, which is why she beca a priestess of the Virgin Goddess of polytheism, swearing to chastity.
This was a disclosure.
Crow Queen Triss wanted to see Duncan’s attitude towards her origin, whether he would fear or shy away from the legendary Banshee.
But Duncan’s expression at the mont was quite intriguing, even a bit excited.
This discovery made Crow Queen Triss’s cheeks slightly red.
The Servant Demon circled the castle once and soon vanished into the pitch-black night, unknown for what rlin was observing through it.
At the sa ti.
In a region near Wales on the island of Great Britain, an old wizard appeared in the wilderness.
"Gorias is not dead."
rlin’s expression showed a trace of regret; he sighed slightly, realizing that the future foretold in prophecy had changed again.
He is a wizard highly skilled in divination magic.
Or rather, he is himself following the potential future outlined in prophecies, waiting for the birth of King Arthur.
rlin had prophesied the Duke of Dingtiger’s death. The best scenario, of course, was for him to die at the hands of the Saxons, so King Uther wouldn’t need to act; as long as King Uther marries the Duke’s widow, the Britons could be unified.
But he did not die.
So he can only wait for the second prophecy, whereby the Duke of Dingtiger unexpectedly dies in a power struggle with King Uther.
A wizard skilled in divination magic easily finds themselves ensnared in their own multitude of prophecies.
The prophecy master must die by prophecy!
rlin is currently working to realize the prophecies he hopes for most, Igraine already carries the future ruler of the island of Great Britain, and the next step is ensuring King Arthur is born and grows up smoothly.
Because rlin has already foreseen King Uther’s death.
The Duke of Dingtiger will die.
King Uther will also die.
After years of chaos, the island of Great Britain will welco its greatest king.
This is the future he desires most from a prophecy.
But now, all prophecies are in disarray.
Soone wants to overturn the table!
In a re remote province of the empire, why bother so much, Duncan is ready to penetrate them directly.
