King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 282

“Hardness…”

“Ductility…”

“Malleability…”

“Bending rate…”

“Strength…”

“Fire resistance…”

“Wear resistance…”

“…”

Tom, who was engrossed in instrument testing, suddenly looked up.

His eyes, bloodshot and incomparable with excitement, were fixed on his ruddy nose.

His expression was abnormally excited, filled with indescribable shock and joy.

“All data show extremely high performance!!!”

“Although there are steel and iron materials that surpass it on an individual level, in terms of overall performance, it is absolutely the undisputed number one!”

“Absolutely undisputed!”

“Absolutely undisputed!!”

Tom excitedly slapped the table, his overly excited demeanor making one worry that he might suffer a cerebral hemorrhage.

“If this iron material could be used as the key connection for the sea train…”

Tom’s face was filled with infatuation.

He caressed the iron block in his hand as if he were caressing the skin of a peerless beauty.

“I, Tom…”

“Will definitely build the most renowned sea train!!”

His inherent conviction made his face glow with an indescribable radiance.

His spirits soared, just like a youth.

“Very good.”

Arthur nodded with satisfaction.

“As long as it succeeds.”

“Your Majesty, just rest assured and watch! It won’t be long before the famous sea train will depart from the British waters!” Tom excitedly patted his chest.

He was practically swearing an oath, ready to dig out his heart and show it to Arthur to prove his honesty.

“Good!”

Arthur nodded slightly.

With the long-standing matter resolved, the Steel Empire was truly a timely benefactor.

Receiving the inheritance.

It was just one word—reliable!

Arthur’s lips curved slightly, and his emerald eyes flickered.

However…

Speaking of which.

With the matter progressing to this point, the last remaining worry was also resolved.

Then it was time…

“To establish the nation!”

Taking advantage of the Navy and the World Government being preoccupied with their war against the Revolutionary Army.

It would be too much of a loss not to seize the opportunity to rise, strike while the iron is hot, and declare Britain’s existence to the world, demonstrating its political needs.

BIGMOM was in retreat.

Wang Zhi and Silver Axe were nowhere to be seen.

The World Government was preoccupied.

His only major concern had been directly annihilated by Arthur’s two-pronged attack, so swiftly and cleanly that it was astonishing. The destruction was complete, without even a single fugitive, leaving no lingering troubles.

The opportune time.

The favorable terrain!

The harmonious people…

All were with him.

If he didn’t seize the opportunity given by heaven, he would suffer for it!

Moreover.

Without a proper name, words would not carry weight.

If it merely existed as an island region, despite having the scale of a formidable empire, it would easily be underestimated.

And…

How could a mere regional overlord accommodate Arthur’s ambition?

It was decided!

“Britain—Nation Building!”

Arthur’s eyes gleamed with cold light, and a hint of red dragon’s radiance flashed across his gaze.

A momentary pressure.

Yet it made everyone’s hearts clench.

Most thought it was an illusion and quickly took two more breaths of air.

However, Bedivere and Kai, who were by Arthur’s side, clearly knew that Arthur had made up his mind.

But there was no surprise or fear on their faces.

Only long-awaited excitement!

Britain!

No! (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Now…

It should be called the British Empire!

“Your Majesty!”

“We humbly obey your command!”

“Your glory shall illuminate the seas!”

The few knelt on one knee in unison, performing a knight’s salute while simultaneously praising him in chorus.

“As for the matter of nation-building.”

“I’ll trouble everyone to assist!”

Arthur, with a faint smile, leisurely turned to face the stone wall, as if he could see many things through the empty stone surface.

To grow from an unremarkable state to this extent.

Heh!

He never thought that he, who was just a shut-in in his previous life, would soon be crowned emperor!

Time was truly a terrifying thing.

Light and shadow stretched in the flames, silently seemingly narrating more.

“What did you say?!”

“Nation-building?! That British brat is going to establish a nation?!!”

A voice filled with utter astonishment.

A roar of shock, tinged with fury, echoed from the Interstice, the sound waves creating rolling tides that made the buildings tremble.

Red Line.

Mariejois’ highest point.

This place, which could be called the center of world power, rarely experienced such clamor even once a year.

“Hey!”

“Calm down!”

“Isn’t this obvious? That guy’s invitation wasn’t just sent to the New World, but even to the Four Seas, practically wanting to declare the establishment of the British Empire to the whole world…”

“Hasn’t that guy’s new king title been circulating for a while now?” The long-haired Gorosei stood by the table and chair, his eyes opening and closing, seemingly indifferent.

But the flicker of seriousness in his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.

In such a short time…

He had developed from a regional power to the extent that even the Steel Empire, one of the top ten empires, could only be annihilated before him, and now he was establishing a nation in the blink of an eye.

“Will he be the next Rocks?”

The long-haired Gorosei narrowed his eyes slightly; although he didn’t voice it, his apprehension was considerable.

Thump, thump, thump!

A rhythmic tapping sound echoed on the coffee table, the mechanical sound like the prelude to a symphony.

“…”

The blond Gorosei remained silent, his emotions inscrutable.

Although he was seated on the sofa, his mood was clearly not as calm as he appeared.

“Hmph!”

“Are we just going to let that guy continue to develop?”

“Are we going to keep tolerating that brat who came down from Roger’s ship acting so arrogant?” The bald Gorosei huffed and puffed, looking displeased.

“Otherwise, what?”

“Directly launch a large-scale invasion and suppress them with a massive force?”

“Don’t forget the war potential Britain displayed in the previous battles!” The kimono-clad Gorosei retorted as if he had eaten gunpowder.

Even his thick glasses couldn’t hide the sharpness in his eyes.

“Alright!”

“Alright!”

“Now is not the time to be bickering.” The black-hatted Gorosei stepped forward to mediate.

Compared to the agitated expressions of the others.

His expression was much softer: “Compared to Britain…”

“Don’t forget, the Revolutionary Army is the true great enemy right now!”

“That Arthur brat merely wants to meddle in the sea, carve out territories, and seize some power. The sea has never lacked such ambitious individuals!”

“But! That guy from the Revolutionary Army wants to directly overthrow our rule!”

The black-hatted Gorosei pointed out the crucial point with precision.

No matter how unwilling they were to admit it.

What the Revolutionary Army advocated and their actions were absolutely destructive to the World Government’s rule.

Even!

Comparable to the Ohara research on the Void Century.

It directly touched their bottom line!

“Absolutely intolerable!”

The Gorosei unanimously reached an agreement; their bottom line could not be compromised.
