Light Speed's Fall

As Agravain passed the broken city walls, a hint of mockery and disdain involuntarily appeared on his indifferent face.

Although his mother could barely be considered a strong and capable person, facing this monster...

Shaking his head, Agravain didn't think further and, along with the other knights, quickly entered the city to take control and tally the spoils.

This small test of strength ended in a somewhat laughable manner.

Anno had demonstrated to these young men the power to individually surpass groups and even armies.

Anno's knights spent a week to completely control this tiny country, and they extensively conscripted labor to replenish the army, expanding the three-thousand-strong force to over four thousand.

After taking a portion of the grain, gold, silver, and other supplies, and arranging for soldiers to contact Camelot Royal City to receive and manage these cities, Anno immediately led his army to the next small country without stopping.

This country was even weaker than the previous one. Rather than a country, it was more like a union of several towns. This time, Anno didn't even need to act; the more than four thousand infantry directly conquered this small nation.

Camelot Royal Court.

Arthur was discussing autumn harvest matters with Merlin and several other officials when a guard suddenly arrived from outside.

"My King, my lords," the guard said, kneeling on one knee in salute.

Everyone's gaze shifted to the knight.

"Raise your head, knight. What is it?" Arthur nodded slightly, his expression stern.

"My King, we have news from Lord Anno," the guard said, looking up to report to King Arthur, his face filled with irrepressible smiles.

"Oh? News from Lord Anno? So soon?" one official frowned slightly.

"He wouldn't have run out of food, would he?" another official chuckled mockingly.

"Silence," Arthur surveyed the room, and everyone immediately fell silent. "Continue."

"Yes!" the guard continued. "Lord Anno has already conquered the entire territory of Wishland (self-created) and is awaiting officials from Your Majesty's court to receive it. Lord Anno is leading his army further north!"

"What?!" the official who spoke first exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

"They've only been on campaign for a month at most, and they've already conquered a country?"

Arthur was also very surprised. She knew Anno was strong in both combat and leadership, but conquering a country in two months of campaigning was somewhat terrifying.

Although the country called Wishland was very small.

"Are you telling the truth?" Arthur asked, calming herself slightly, her expression serious. "Has Lord Anno truly conquered a country?"

"Absolutely true!"

Everyone fell silent, only Merlin smiled faintly.

In this world, the one who understood Anno best, even his adopted son Lancelot, ranked second. Merlin was first.

He knew Anno's capabilities better than anyone.

However, since he conquered a country so quickly, Anno must have used that trick...

He wondered how his arm was doing.

"Everyone, it seems Lord Anno has indeed brought us a complete surprise," Arthur said, standing up from her seat. "This day is worth celebrating. Let us cheer for Lord Anno!"
