Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 296 - 301 Update ’King Arthur

Flushing, the office of the website.

Wang Jian was drinking coffee while watching the news report.

In fact, ever since Prince Charles publicly voiced his support, the outcome of this matter was almost predetermined.

In comparison, Wang Jian was more concerned about the significant revenue he had lost.

Due to previous extensive media coverage, the portrayal of Prince Charles and Miss Camilla as "the scoundrel and the mistress" had deeply resonated with the public.

However, as a trade-off, Wang Jian’s version of Princess Diana’s autobiography certainly could not be written that way.

In the new outline, the theme that "no one is wrong, society is to blame", not only broke Wang Jian’s creative comfort zone where "the protagonist will definitely take revenge."

In a sense, it was also a challenge to public perception.

"Alas, adapting such a popular piece like that, who knows if it’ll be accepted by the readers!" Wang Jian sighed helplessly.

At that moment, Tom hurried over with a document in hand.

"Wang, good news!"

He said excitedly, "Due to this controversy, the number of paid subscribers on our website has significantly increased!"

"And, according to technical statistics, this increase is no longer limited to the United States, but has expanded to all English-speaking regions globally!"

Wang Jian took the document and saw that it was indeed the case.

"The fascination with Princess Diana is truly terrifying!"

"No, the influence of the British Royal Family should be added too."

According to the data, these new users were not very interested in well-known authors like Stephen King and Neil Gaiman.

The works they paid for were almost all concentrated in a few of his own novels.

Among them, those related to British history such as "Harem Boleyn Family" and "King Arthur" were the most popular.

"Fuck! Since that autobiography might not make money, I’ll just have to speed up the updates." Wang Jian pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Let’s see if we can make up for the losses during this surge of popularity!"

He took out the outline, took a look, and prepared to start writing.

Fortunately, the story had reached a major climax at this point.

This was very friendly for retaining the new readers.

...

Many nobles discovered more and more industrial products made by Prince Arthur on their lands.

Correspondingly, a vast amount of money was continuously transported in carts to the prince’s territory.

"How much money do you think the prince has? Does he have a hundred thousand Gold Coins?"

"A hundred thousand? That’s just this month’s figure!"

"I think it must be at least five hundred thousand Gold Coins!"

The highest-ranking and strongest Earl among them pondered and felt that allowing Arthur to continue growing was an enormous threat!

He glanced at the many greedy nobles and said slowly, "But the Eldest Prince, the Princess, and the Church, none of them like this prince!"

"Yes, I heard he shelters witches, openly defying the Lord!"

"As the Lord’s servants, how can we stand by and watch this happen!"

Soon, the nobles in the hall glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.

They discussed the situation while calculating the benefits they could gain.

"I propose that we go on a crusade in the name of the Lord!"

Finally, a minor noble, unable to contain his greed, loudly voiced the suggestion eagerly anticipated by many nobles.

"No, we are just going to forcefully admonish," Lord Earl said with a slight smile, "merely hoping that His Highness the Prince will not stray further!"

"But can we defeat the prince? I’ve heard he’s recruited many commoners for military training!"

"Pfft, without Extraordinary Professionals, they are just cannon fodder," a noble disdainfully said. "And our Extraordinary Professionals are a hundred times more numerous than his!"

Indeed!

Many nobles nodded, calculating in their minds.

In such a scenario, how could they lose?

That was simply impossible!

The Earl looked at everyone with a slight smile and slowly stood up.

"Now, everyone return to your territories and summon your armies!"

"We need to save the Prince from the edge of evil!"

Meanwhile, King Arthur also received the news.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" the Knight Captain asked his master anxiously.

"The cannon was just successfully tested; it might be a good time to try it out," Arthur said calmly as he wiped the cannon.

"Don’t worry, just proceed with your normal training. This battle will primarily involve the civilian corps."

"Civilians?" The Knight, hearing the Prince’s serious words, wore a puzzled expression on his face.

Soon, the noble army assembled completely, amassing an impressive force of thirty thousand.

Among them, the Extraordinary Professionals accounted for a third!

"However, isn’t the military discipline a bit too chaotic?" the Earl frowned as he eyed the situation in front of him.

"Don’t worry, my lord," a staff member replied with a light laugh for reassurance, "Our strength far surpasses that of the prodigal prince!"

That’s true...

The Earl thought about the strength comparison and nodded his head in relief.

"March!" he shouted loudly, and the troops, in a long snake-like formation, began their advance!

"Remember, before firing, calculate the elevation angle first!" the commander on Arthur’s side wasn’t a Knight but one of the neglected scholars.

Pushed aside by the Church, with nowhere else to go, they were essentially taken in by King Arthur.

"Report, we’ve spotted a large enemy force ahead. Should we commence the attack?" a messenger gasped as he ran up to Arthur.

"Proceed with the attack!" Arthur replied indifferently, holding the only telescope made by the witches, quietly waiting for the cannon to fire for the first time on this great road.

"Ha ha, I must get a Prince’s maid for myself!" a Knight laughed unrestrainedly, "The taste must be different from that of a peasant woman!"

"Cut it out, go for the Gold Coins first, you fool!" his companion replied disdainfully, "With Gold Coins, what kind of woman can’t you find?"

"After all, it’s just a maid!"

"Right!" the Knight nodded and began adjusting his fantasy targets.

"A fair body is nice, but it doesn’t attract like gleaming Gold Coins!"

"This Prince is really foolish! Having too much money without sufficient strength is a calamity," the Earl mused with a smile as he sat on his horse.

"What if he surrenders at that time?"

"What reason should we use to reject his surrender?"

Just then, a rumbling sound arose in the distance.

"Is that thunder?" the Earl paused momentarily then issued an order, "Hurry along. We need to reach our destination and set up camp before the rain starts."

Thus, the defeated troops in front couldn’t hold back, and the army behind was desperately speeding up.

"What is this? Witchcraft!"

"Hurry and fall back, I don’t want to die!"

"Knights, it’s your turn to attack!" Arthur’s messenger ran up to the Knight Captain and said.

"Mhm!" the Knight nodded, taking a deep breath.

He knew all too well the significant disparity in strength between the enemies and themselves.

This time, they probably wouldn’t return.

"But, for the glory of the family!" the Knight drew his spear and roared, "Charge!"

Behind him, the Extraordinary Knights, also with resolute faces, drew their spears and followed their captain out of the trenches.

"What? What situation is this?"

The Knight Captain, seeing limbs scattered everywhere, was momentarily stupefied.

With a "bang," he turned around and saw the Prince curiously holding a torch, lighting something!

"Your task is to pursue, to keep pursuing."

"But upon encountering a large force, don’t engage in battle; instead, send a signal!"

"They are the main force of the fight..." the Prince pointed at the shocked civilian officers behind him and smiled as he spoke.

"And you, you are special talents!"
