[Chapter 459 Go to the Kingdom of God with the King]
The war is over, but the Winter Army will not start sweeping the surrounding areas immediately.
The Temple has been established for many years, and has accumulated various kinds of wealth over countless years. In addition to various knowledge, these wealth also include various resources, such as rare ores, metals, various enchanted equipment, props, etc.
The Winter Army will then thoroughly clean up the entire area and collect spoils.
Although this work is troublesome and time-consuming, it is a very profitable job for the soldiers, so everyone is working very hard – like some jewelry, gold and silver, the Winter City does not value them too much. After the soldiers find them, they divide them up on the spot, and Sutton-Stewart also turns a blind eye.
What’s more, as the commander, Earl Sutton-Stewart can also share a part of the profits, so he has no reason to care about these trivial matters.
When this job is completed, the Tilan Knights will continue to conquer the surrounding areas of the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt. At the current speed, there is probably no way to end the war before this winter.
Perhaps, when the spoils of the Temple are thoroughly cleaned up, it will be midsummer.
David couldn’t just wait here. When he saw the last building of the temple was blown up and the battle was over, he ordered the Megatron to return to Winter City.
Gareth Stanton continued to command the front line. Although the leader of the Tilan Knights went with him, Commander Sutton Stewart and Deputy Leader Sylvanas were still there, which did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Tilan Knights. The
Winter Knights would leave with him, and even if a battle broke out, the Winter Knights would not need to take
action. A seemingly huge war of annihilation was decided in just a few days.
David didn’t know what impact this would have on other countries, but his name should be resounding throughout the Brunnia continent.
“In this case, when the Winter Army continues to conquer other countries, will they surrender directly?”
“Maybe they will resist more fiercely.”
Perhaps the people of the New Ailan Federation and the Sodurenma Empire had a preconceived idea that the Winter Kingdom was a style of extermination, and gave up the idea of surrender from the beginning.
It is not difficult to change this view. When sweeping various regions of the Holy Gaunt Kingdom in the future, just be a little lighter and accept the surrender of a few lords.
But David does not want to do this – he has not planned to continue to implement the feudal system from the beginning. Now there is a great opportunity to abolish all these lords. Why should he add so many hidden dangers to his kingdom?
The most important thing is that these guys can’t beat him. Even if they try their best to resist, they can’t pose a substantial threat to the Winter Army.
The strength of the two sides is very different. At this time, of course, David can do whatever he wants. Why should he care about the feelings of the enemy?
He has been farming and developing in the remote areas of the north, isn’t it for this day?
If he is trying to win over, divide, compromise, and use various political means to unify the countries, then what is the point of his accumulation in the past few years?
So everything should be implemented according to the original plan.
Gareth Stanton, on the other hand, seems to have to change his position after this war.
The position of the leader of the Winter Knights is no longer suitable.
Gareth Stanton was appointed as the commander-in-chief for the expedition to the Holy Kingdom of Gaunt and the Temple.
This was a temporary appointment. In the future, there will be many wars against other countries with multiple legions going out at the same time. Gareth was undoubtedly David’s first choice. After all, Gareth was David’s personal guard knight and an absolute confidant.
“First, promote him to lieutenant general, and then temporarily appoint Gareth Stanton as the commander-in-chief of the Winter Kingdom.” Then he ordered Gareth Stanton to come up with a feasible battle plan, with the goal of unifying the eastern part of the Brunnia continent.
As for the Winter Knights, Floyd, the deputy commander, can be promoted.
Together with the Tiran Knights, the top leaders of the two major knights will change, so after the end of this war, they will definitely have to rest for a while.
In addition, after the reorganization of the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment and the Winter Legion, there has been no real legion commander, and they are basically temporarily assigned commanders.
Among them, the influence of the Winter Legion is not great, and the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment cannot continue in this state.
After thinking about it, David found that the most suitable ones were Helen’s twin brothers: Pollux and Castor.
Just as he was thinking about this, David suddenly received a call request from Helen.
“What’s the matter?”
“Yes, my father has made a request and wants your permission.”
“Just tell me.”
After Helen briefly told David about the matter, he realized that it was the Kingdom of Sparta that expanded and annexed countless kingdoms, and began to promote Sparta’s customs and beliefs in these new territories.
Some former kings were somewhat resistant to this.
In their view, the King of Sparta not only wanted to eat meat, but even wanted to take away the pot.
Although the Kingdom of Sparta was advanced and developed, with all kinds of magical and beautiful things, no one believed that these things were given by the gods!
In this situation, Tyndareus expressed his willingness to take the “former kings” to broaden their horizons and go to Winter City, the city where the gods live, to stroll around and let these old hats see what a real fairyland is.
Of course, Tyndareus did not dare to make the decision alone on this matter. He just told his daughter about his idea so that he could ask David what he meant.
If David didn’t mind, he would take a few kings to Winter City.
If David was disgusted by this, then he would just pretend that it didn’t happen. He was ready to use tougher means to promote new beliefs.
“You don’t need to ask me for this kind of trivial matter.” David was reminding Helen that Helen could make the decision on this little thing, but Helen firmly stated that she had to get David’s permission, after all, David was the real master of Winter City.
After hanging up the call, David put the matter aside and continued to think about how to adjust his military management.
Tyndareus, who got his daughter’s reply, immediately began to prepare.
With the permission of the gods, he could take people to visit Winter City.
So, who should he take?
You can’t bring too many people, otherwise it will seem that going to the country where the gods live is a very ordinary thing.
“Theseus and Agamemnon.”
Originally, the Kingdom of Athens was the most powerful on the Balkan Peninsula, followed by Mycenae, Sparta and other kingdoms.
Until Helen went to Winter City, the strength of the Kingdom of Sparta, which received support from David in all aspects, began to grow rapidly. After becoming a powerful force that crushed various countries, it annexed these kingdoms one by one.
But annexation does not mean the end of the matter. How to integrate these newly annexed kingdoms and people has become a new problem facing Tyndareus.
The original policy of the Spartans being the superiors, other nations being the younger brothers, and raising a group of slaves among the younger brothers, can no longer be implemented.
Because there are only so many Spartans, if all nations are regarded as younger brothers, then the huge population gap will sooner or later bring disaster to the Spartans.
In addition, Tyndareus led the Kingdom of Sparta to pacify the four directions and established an extremely large kingdom, and Tyndareus’s reputation has reached its peak.
There is also the support of the gods behind him, so Tyndareus gradually abandoned the original ruling system of the Kingdom of Sparta and began to accept more “nations” to become Spartans.
In addition, after several wars, Tyndareus lifted the slave status of some soldiers who had accumulated enough military merits and accepted them as new Spartans.
After the slaves saw a new way out, the rebellious sentiment plummeted, which also proved that Tyndareus’s new system was more in line with the current national conditions.
Thus, the new policy was smoothly implemented, and the Athenians and Mycenaeans were about to be absorbed as the core of the new Spartans.
In the eyes of Tyndareus, this was the luck of the Athenians and Mycenaeans; but in the eyes of the former king of Athens and the former king of Mycenae, this was to make them both die without a burial place!
Considering the reputation and ability of the two former kings, Tyndareus still hoped to win them over, rather than give tough orders or even kill them, so there was an arrangement to visit Winter City.
After getting David’s permission, Tyndareus happily ordered people to notify the two and let them get ready to follow him to the kingdom of the gods early tomorrow morning to bathe in the glory of the true gods…
“I think this is a conspiracy.” Agamemnon’s younger brother Menelaos had a worried look on his face, both for his brother and for himself: “Should we just…”
Although he didn’t say it, his expression and gestures had already expressed his thoughts.
Agamemnon had a bitter face and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he shook his head: “The king didn’t let you go with him. It seems that he still has some mercy. Menelaos, Mycenae will depend on you in the future.”
“…” Menelaos remained silent. This should be a good thing for him, but he has a good relationship with his brother. He doesn’t want to watch his brother die like this: “Why not take advantage of the night and fight our way out of the city back to Mycenae…”
“Don’t say anymore. You have seen the fighting power of the Spartans, that kind of terrifying heavy armored soldiers. Even if all the soldiers in Mycenae are here, it will be useless.” Agamemnon patted his brother’s shoulders heavily with both hands: “Don’t think about those messy things. Serve the Kingdom of Sparta well, especially in the military. You must participate in every war as much as possible.”
Agamemnon took a deep breath: “Only in this way can Mycenae have a future!”
