Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Chapter 10: Enlightenment, Enlightenment

Of course, the first step to educate the Ansa pirates is definitely not to just go up and talk to them without any reason.

The first step should be to break their edge and use force to punish violence, while at the same time ensuring that there is no indiscriminate killing, otherwise force will also turn into violence.

There is a saying that goes, "The purpose of studying is to be able to reason with the barbarians in a calm and peaceful manner, and the purpose of maintaining military force is to make the barbarians listen to what I say in a calm and peaceful manner."

"We can't act recklessly. Maple Ridge only has 500 knights. We have the advantage in numbers and combat power, but it's easy to repel the Ansa people, but it's difficult to subdue them!"

"We must force them into a desperate situation and then persuade them to surrender..."

Kelar was very familiar with the terrain around Maple Ridge. A general who did not understand the weather and terrain was just a mediocre man. When dealing with the Ansa barbarians of the Age of Gods, he did not even need to use his brain. He came up with countless strategies to repel the enemy in a flash.

"Lily, watch out. This time I will teach you how to use the Art of War." Kelar said to Altria, "A general who studies the Art of War for a lifetime but cannot apply it will only be a paper warrior in the end. How to apply it is the true meaning of the Art of War."

Kelar immediately called the Knight Captain and sent more than a hundred knights to go around the rear of the Ansa people to destroy the ships. He also divided the remaining four hundred people into several groups. With their familiarity with Maple Ridge, they completed the encirclement under the noses of the Ansa people.

"...Really, it's not difficult at all." Kailar sighed as he sat on a rock, "Can the Ansa people reach this level? Facing such an enemy, even if there are thousands of them, I, Kailar, will only have one way to go, death!"

The Celtic knights were very strong. The Celts were a fishing and hunting nation. In the era of cold weapons, the middle-aged men of the fishing and hunting nation were one of the strongest soldiers. As long as there were 10,000 fully armed Celtic knights of the Age of Gods, no one could stop the charge of these 10,000 knights on the front battlefield.

As long as the Antoines came onto land, they were no match for the Celts in small-scale battles and frontal combat. However, the Antoines' endless harassment and guerrilla warfare were the rogue tactics that left the Celts helpless.

Once they lost the basis of guerrilla warfare, the Anglo-Celtic people were actually equally stupid and reckless. They had no idea what ambushes and strategies were, and they just rushed forward in a swarm to fight.

Facing such an enemy, Keraldon felt bored. This completely defeated the purpose of practicing military tactics!

"I can kill them easily."

Kelar suddenly smiled: "But I decided to give them a chance to live!"

"Why?" Altria suddenly asked, "Didn't Uncle Hector say that a qualified Celtic warrior should kill all the invading enemies?"

"Because I am willing to love them." Kelar smiled and said, "Even if they are enemies, I am willing to give them a chance to embrace me."

"Lily, this is the way of teaching of the saints."

"Do you want to be a saint?" Altria hesitated for a moment and then said, "Kai... I don't want you to be a saint."

I don't want you to love everyone.

Because that would be very tiring.

Altria has seen Hector and Kelar quarrel more than once. Hector admits that Kelar is his best son, but he cannot agree with Kelar's naive ideas.

The same goes for Kelar, who has denounced the Celtics' barbaric behavior more than once. It is only because Hector is not at home often that the two of them would fight every day.

Altria’s idea is very simple. Even your father does not recognize you, but you have to love all those who do not recognize you equally.

What would that feel like...

"Kai, you just need to love someone who is willing to love you."

Kelar didn't hear this sentence because he was already walking forward.

Establish your own will and follow your own path, why do you need others to understand you?

At this time, the invading Ansa pirates had been forced into a forest by the Celtic knights according to Keral's military strategy. All their ships were burned, and the pirates guarding the ships were cleared out. The retreat of these Ansa pirates had been blocked.

As long as Kelar wanted, he could order the mountain to be set on fire again, and these pirates would turn into charcoal while wailing in the flames like their predecessors.

However, at this time, Kelar issued an order to surround but not attack.

The knights were in an uproar. It was not that no one had put forward the hypothesis that Kelar might want to trap these people to death, but that was totally unnecessary. Up to now, none of the Celtic knights had suffered any casualties, while the Ansa pirates had been ambushed many times in the forest of Maple Ridge and had suffered a lot of casualties. Now, whether it was setting fire or charging, all the Ansa pirates could be easily killed.

The Celts were a semi-military democracy. During war, the knights under the lord could question the lord's orders. If the orders were unreasonable, the knights would refuse to carry them out.

The Knights of the Round Table are a model of this kind of military democracy. Even King Arthur had to sit at a round table with his knights without a master-servant hierarchy to discuss matters, and he could not have the final say.

Especially when Kelar said he wanted to persuade them to surrender, almost all Celtic knights were opposed to it. Their words were fierce, and even a few old guys relied on the fact that they were old men who followed Hector and openly used Kelar's age as an excuse. Behind Kelar, Altria clearly saw the faces of these people, seeing these Celts who did not understand him...

Faced with Kelar's "stupid" decision to persuade them to surrender instead of killing everyone, they were all furious, roaring with red faces, and their expressions were as excited as if they were talking about their mortal enemy.

Even though everyone met each other for the first time today.

That's right, conflicts in ideology and thought can really create irreconcilable enemies.

Kelar remained calm and indifferent. He spoke in a clear voice: "You don't understand me. I don't blame you. I am willing to teach you the right way."

"You ask me why I gave such a ridiculous order?"

Kelar's eyes were as bright as lightning, and his brown eyes stared at the knight who was taking advantage of his age. "Because I am Kelar, the Lord of Maple Ridge, and this is the law I have established, and you must obey it."

"Because I am right and you are wrong. You have fallen into the evil path without knowing it. I don't blame you. But how pathetic are you if you resist what is right?"

Kelar finally said: "What I am doing is educating the Celts and the British Kingdom to clear away the great troubles that have plagued the country for thousands of years."

Faced with Kelar's toughness, the knights looked at each other. Although they did not say any more words of opposition, their expressions showed disapproval. They also secretly decided that no matter who Kelar sent to persuade the surrender, that person would definitely kill indiscriminately and would never follow Kelar's orders.

Kelar saw through their thoughts at a glance. These people were not convinced even in words, let alone what they were thinking in their hearts.

Without the support of facts, you cannot instill truth into others with just your mouth, even if your truth is indeed correct.

Kelar got off his horse and said, "I will go and persuade the Ansa people to surrender. You just wait here."

The knights could no longer sit still. If their lord died in battle but they were still alive, they would be burdened with a very shameful reputation. This was absolutely unacceptable to the Celts who valued honor more than life!
They wanted to persuade him again, and even wanted to use force, but unfortunately, although Kelar was young, his strength was not to be underestimated. A circle of knights surrounded him, but were easily knocked down by Kelar.

Although he has not yet fully grown into a Celtic warrior who can knock down giants with his bare hands in the future, he is already able to fight against a hundred people alone.

"Sir Kelar, you can just let me persuade those Ansa people to surrender. Why take the risk myself?"

At this time, the steward in charge of guarding the castle said, "I am willing to obey all your orders, Lord Kelar."

"I believe in you. As long as you are willing to do the right thing, that's fine." Kelar changed the subject: "But I can't leave this to you."

"No matter who you are, your life will be in danger if you go there."

After looking around, Kelar sighed and said, "Do you think I, Kelar, am a stupid lunatic? Do you really think that the Ansa people on the other side will lay down their weapons and surrender as long as I persuade them to surrender?"

"If they fight back before they die, who among you can survive the siege of more than a hundred Ansa people?"

Kelar said: "Only I, Kelar, can defeat the Ansa even if they don't surrender!"

The Celtic Warriors will ultimately have to speak with strength.

Even though Kelar is only twelve years old, his strength is still enough to defeat these knights.

After being beaten by Kailar, they began to be convinced and even started to think about the truth in Kailar's words.

This is the reason why the weight of words varies depending on one's status and strength. If it were King Uther, no matter how ridiculous his words were, there would be a large number of Celts willing to listen to him.

Kelar is their lord and also a very powerful Celtic warrior. Admiring and obeying the strong has always been the tradition of the Celts.

Kelar never worried about educating the Celts. These Celtic barbarians were too easy to understand, and it was not difficult to educate them using Celtic traditions.

But the Ansa are different. These pirates who make a living on the sea are not Celts without any religious foundation. They believe in the God of the Cross. Whatever they do is allowed by God. Even if it violates the doctrine, they only need to "repent sincerely".

Therefore, it would be very difficult to educate them.

"Kai, I want to go with you!" Altria grabbed the corner of Kailar's clothes and said seriously: "They don't approve of you, but I think you are right."

“What is wrong will not become right just because it is repeated ten thousand times; and what is right will not become wrong just because it is denied.”

Kelar said calmly: "But I still want to thank you, Lily... Thank you for believing in me."
