Type-Moon, a human love simulator

Chapter 11 I Forgive You
In the end, only Artoria followed Kelar to subdue the Ansa.

These Ansa people have now been forced into a desperate situation by Kelar's military strategy, especially since Kelar ordered a siege but not an attack. They soon thought of the Celtic's cruel and brutal tradition of massacre and the forest fire a few years ago.

It can be said that the psychological pressure on these people is increasing every minute and every second.

Despair enveloped all the Ansa people, and they began to regret that they should not have set foot on the land of Maple Ridge.

This is human nature. Only when facing death will people truly repent and pray.

Just when they were panicking and about to go crazy, Kelar came up to them on horseback.

Someone discovered him, and all kinds of weapons, including bows and arrows, slingshots, poison needles, whistle arrows, etc., were fired at him. Kelar sat on the horse, waving a flagpole with his other hand, and easily blocked all the flying props.

Injury-free protection (mist)!

Since ancient times, no one is considered a master of hidden weapons. This thing can only be used to hurt people by taking advantage of their inattention. If you use a hidden weapon head-on, it will almost certainly be blocked. A swing of a cloak can block most hidden weapons.

Kelar didn't even draw his sword. His weapon remained in Altria's hand. He just held the Maple Ridge flag and walked in front of the Ansa people.

The Ansa pirates showed no sign of stopping their attacks, and were even shouting hysterically and cursing in despair. However, Kelar said calmly, "I am Kelar, the Lord of Maple Ridge. As long as you lay down your weapons, I am willing to forgive you."

As long as you are strong enough, even aggressive behavior will seem insignificant and you won't care about their offense at all.

Even in the chaotic and noisy battlefield, Kelar's voice still drowned out the voices of more than a hundred Ansa people and reached everyone's ears.

Kelar's words sounded like heavenly music to the ears of the Ansa pirates who were about to perish in despair. They wanted to believe it, but were also afraid that it was a trap set by Kelar.

After a fierce argument, an old sailor with a frosted face came out. Their captain and first mate had been killed. This man was the elected temporary leader: "Kailar, I will treat you as the real lord, but is what you said true or false?"

"I don't need to lie to you." Kelar said calmly: "With one order from me, you will die like ants being crushed to death without a burial place."

"I don't even need to come to see you. I just need to set a fire and you will die completely in the fire."

The old sailor was silent. He said, "My name is Powell. I am willing to surrender to you, even if you are deceiving us. I just hope that if you really want to kill us, please give us a painless death and a decent grave because we don't resist."

Beheading, dismemberment for religious rituals, shredding of bodies...

This was a common method used by the Celts to treat their enemies, filled with the most primitive and brutal brutality.

If you can be hanged with a rope, it would be considered a decent way to die.

Therefore, Powell used the word "gift". If Kelar allowed it, it could even be considered as his gift.

Kelar smiled and said, "You don't know me, Kelar. I don't blame you... Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will let you go back."

"Now, put down your weapons and follow me out."

These Ansa pirates had no choice.

Just think about it, if you don’t surrender you will die, and there is even a high possibility that you will be burned to death by the fire, which is an extremely painful death.

Surrendering means death at most, whether it is beheading or hanging, which is much better than being burned to death.

Even, even...if Kelar kept his word, they wouldn't have to die.

After thinking it over, the Onsa people gradually put down their weapons and followed Kelar outside.

As they walked, Kelar asked Powell, who was walking beside him, "Why did you come to invade Maple Ridge?" Powell was silent for a moment and then said, "You may not believe it, but it's for survival."

Indeed, most people would not believe that in Britain during the Age of the Gods, there was such a ridiculous reason as "for survival".

This is the Age of Gods, and the superiority of resources is reflected in all aspects. Whether it is the great source of magic power, the innate strength of human beings, or the abundance of materials, it is enough for human beings to squander, or even waste.

The tree bears fruits that never wither all year round, and the human body can replenish its energy just by breathing and drinking water. How could people in the Age of Gods still come out to rob in order to survive?

"As long as you are willing to tell me, I am willing to believe you." Kelar said, "You are willing to believe me and walk out of this forest, so why can't I believe you?"

"..."

Powell was silent again, and after a while he said, "I apologize to you... Actually, I didn't believe you at first, but we had no choice but to believe you."

"I forgive you." Kelar said with a smile, "After all, you are an uncivilized barbarian. I don't blame you."

Powell did not respond to Kelar's offensive name. He said uncomfortably, "Please tell me, you asked us to surrender and said you would let us go back... What on earth are you thinking?"

"I want to teach you the right truth. I want to educate you barbarians."

Kelar did not hide his thoughts and told them everything: "No one is willing to risk their lives to kill people for no reason. Britain has abundant resources, which are more than enough to feed the less than one million people on the British island."

"Can you tell me why?"

Under Kelar's gaze, Powell began to talk about the nobles' extortion and the king's endless tyranny.

Only tyrannical and cruel rule is the real weapon that kills people invisibly.

The cause of famine is not that insufficient food is produced, but that those who need food cannot obtain it in a timely and effective manner.

After they finished talking and walked the distance, the Ansa pirates were slightly agitated again when they saw the Celtic knights who surrounded them, but they did not do anything extreme. They all looked at Kelar, regarding him as their only savior.

It can be said that Kelar can now decide the life and death of these people with just one word.

Kelar looked at Altria who had been silent all the way and said, "See? The lives of more than a hundred people depend on my thoughts. Even someone of my status and position can do this. As the king who commands the Celts, I can decide the future of hundreds of thousands of people with just a thought."

Finally, Kelar looked at all the Ansa pirates and asked, "If you have no worries about life, food and drink, will you still invade the Celtic land?"

The Ansa pirates answered one after another, but the results were all similar.

will not.

The answer is of course. The Celts were notorious for their brutality and tyranny. If they were not forced to go to war, who would be willing to fight against the Celtic barbarians?

Kelar smiled and said, "Then I forgive you."

"The upper class is the one who profits, and the lower class is the one who risks their lives."

Kelar said calmly: "The king issues orders, the nobles provide weapons, and the poor provide children. After the war, the king gets the territory, the nobles get the profits, and the poor get the bodies."

"I am willing to love all of you, and I am willing to believe that you are not unteachable, so I am willing to give you my trust."

"Go back. I forgive you." Kelar said, "If you are forced to step into Maple Ridge's territory next time, I will not kill you. As long as you are willing to lay down your weapons, I will still forgive you."
