Once a vast national war machine is set in motion, it's not something that one or two people can easily halt; even Duncan can only harness this terrifying war machine through his prestige.

The council of the Britain Kingdom unhesitatingly rebuked and expelled the envoys of the Franks and the Western Goths.

They outright refused such rude demands.

Exiles from the Bagada people flocked to Britain because the system here is better; asking them to stop recruiting these young exiles is impossible.

The young population is the foundation of a country.

Pay taxes?

You think you can levy taxes on us? Even the Empire didn't dare levy taxes on the British Province!

Compensation?

They don't even know their own weight!

The European powers didn't expect that the top brass of the Britain Kingdom didn't even think about negotiating with them. Just the day after expelling the envoys, dozens of warships crossed the sea to arrive at the port of Calais. Then the 6th and 7th Legions of Britain, in just half a day, captured this area.

The news reached London on the third day, and the entire Britain was in an uproar.

Gentlemen!

We long for war.

Within the Dimension Space, the national doctrine of military expansion for the Britain Kingdom has become a blazing flame. The war mobilization order has just been issued when the 7th Legion of Britain advanced deep and captured Flanders. The 6th Legion quickly seized two counties, taking Artois first and then advancing into Picardy, only halting because Duncan ordered not to act recklessly or advance too hastily.

Their next step would have been to attack the Île-de-France, the future region of Paris.

This military conflict shocked the entire Gaul Region.

Because Duncan is still in London controlling the overall situation, even without his participation in the battle, the war strength of the Barbarian Race foreign legion in the 7th Legion was astonishing, fully taking over the frontier defense line of the once Empire. Concurrently, the 6th Legion, commanded by multiple generals and supplemented by mixed auxiliary marine militia, roughly 3,000 men, astonishingly routed the Frankish garrison troops.

In a flash.

Merely with two regular British Legions, complemented by an auxiliary group of over 2,000 men, altogether around four to five thousand troops, forced Molov to initiate a total war order, rallying the Frankish tribal chieftains from all over what is modern northeastern France to face the enemy.

He even suspected whether these British soldiers were taking any stimulants, given that Germanic berserkers do take them, which would explain their high morale and formidable spirit even without Duncan personally leading them.

Once a war begins, it will not easily stop.

The entire Britain Kingdom, from Kent County in the south to Cornwall in the west, stretching north to Scotland and Ireland, with three reorganized Barbarian Race foreign legions—all were restless. By this time, few cared much about the safety of Kvito, even in Wales, where chieftains of the native tribes like Gallard and Chatwin were summoning more than 2,000 people, plus several hundred Highland Indigo Swordsmen.

The Barbarian soldiers of the Picts have already crossed Hadrian's Wall, although this time it's not an invasion into England—they aim to strike farther.

"I never imagined I'd still have a chance to campaign on the European continent in my lifetime!"

Drest looked out over the distant strait, turned to look at his back, where fierce tattooed totemic personal guards holding black swords gazed fervently towards the plains of Normandy.

That fertile land has been the dream of so many.

This land originally belonged to the Vikings in times to come, and now most likely, whoever lays down meritorious deeds shall distribute the land.
