Pirates of the Heavens

Chapter 310 World-Class Dungeon [The Crusade against Artoria]

Artoria didn't expect that she would wake up suddenly.

Before, she felt as if she was in a dream, going through her life all over again.

Artoria was born in Britain in the 5th century.At this time, the once mighty Roman Empire was on the verge of extinction, an era of chaos and war.This empire was once considered invincible and impenetrable, but at that time it could only wait for the fate of being invaded by barbarians sooner or later.

The Roman Empire, which was preparing to fight the barbarians to the end, abandoned its own territory, Britannia, and withdrew all armed forces on the island.

Once Britannia lost the protection of the empire, it could not escape the cycle of independence, disintegration, and separatism, so it quickly split into several small countries.

During this period, the barbarian invasion and the mutual conquest among the various tribes opened a long "dark age" known to later generations.

The empire on the mainland declined, and the aliens (Saxons) who lost their restraint began to invade Britain in order to survive.

The former king——Uther Pendragon is the last king endowed with mystery by the British Isles.Among the war-torn British princes, the humble king Vortigern took advantage of the alien race and wanted to unify Britain.

Fifteen years ago, King Uther was defeated by King Bei, so he also had the idea of ​​pinning his hopes on the next generation of kings. The mystery of the British island was weakening day by day, and it was impossible to determine whether the next generation of kings would still be protected by Britain.

Therefore, Uther and the magician Merlin had a bold idea. The previous king protected by Britain was only beyond ordinary people, and the new king would be at an inhuman level from the very beginning.They carried out conceptual insemination, the bloodline of the British king, the bloodline of the incarnation of Britain - the red dragon, and the mother fetus used to fuse the two - the bloodline of the noble woman.

There was no romance whatsoever, and thus Al-King Arthur was born.

However, Arthur, Artoria is a woman, and it is difficult to succeed as king.And different from previous predictions, Artoria's sister, Morgan, has completely inherited the mystery of the former king and is a rare witch.

Ten years ago, Merlin made a prophecy. "King Uther's successor has been chosen.

This character is the next king.

The incarnation of the red dragon, the new king, will gather the knights of the round table, and the white dragon will retreat.

Wang is still alive now, and the proof will appear soon. "

Since then, every British knight is looking forward to the new king, and they all have the impetuousness that they are the chosen new king.Because of this prophecy, the king of Bei is fiercely looking for a new king.

When Arturia was about 5 years old, she was taken into the home of the old knight Sir Hector.

Hector's son, Kay, was also told by his father that "you must teach your younger brother as an elder brother", and he probably understood the relevant situation.Since then, Arturia has lived a poor life in her adoptive father's house. As a trainee knight, he was trained in swordsmanship and etiquette by Hector, and at the same time participated in farming like her father and brother.

He spends most of the day receiving the education of the king, and takes care of the horses to patrol the village in his free time. Kai once asked Artoria how long she can sleep, but the guy actually smiled and replied, "Don't worry, brother. I I was resting well from early morning until sunrise."

It was less than 3 hours at all, and after Kai met Merlin, he also learned something that he didn't want to know. That guy Arturia was also instilled with the king's teachings by the succubus magician during his sleep time.

Ten years after the prophecy was issued, the chosen day finally came, and that was the day when Arturia was destined to pull out the sword of chosen. During morning exercises, Hector couldn't hide the reluctance in the corners of his eyes, and Artoria... Toria also pretended not to see it, and after handing Kai's set of knight equipment to Artoria, Hector told her that after giving the things to Kai, her homework for today was over.When they came to the town, the townspeople were immersed in the atmosphere of the festival. Merlin had already pierced the chosen sword into the rock yesterday, and announced that whoever could pull out the sword would be the new king of Britain.

Yesterday and today, countless knights failed before the chosen sword.After Kai took the knight gear brought by Artoria, he said a few venomous tongues as usual, and then stayed away from her to participate in the destined meaningless horse battle. "Of course. You go back to Dad. If you are seen by others, you will be ridiculed again. You also think about my hard work for always helping you out. Listen carefully. This is the first and last chance , you go home obediently."

In the distance is the atmosphere of the festival, the knights are fighting on horseback, and there is no one in front of the chosen sword.

"Really. It's just that the bad mouth is a fly in the ointment....Thank you, Kai-kun."

"But, I'm sorry. I don't know what Hector said, what an ideal king looks like."

The sword unexpectedly joined hands, and something that had never surged in the body before poured into the sword, and the body became light, and the next step was to pull it out.

"Before picking up that thing, it's better to think about it carefully.

I won't hurt you, so don't do that.

Once you take that sword, you will cease to be human until the very end.Not just that.Once you pick it up, you will be hated by all humans, and meet a tragic death.”

Behind him came the voice of the magus whom he had been seeing in his dream.

"--No
There are many people laughing.I think that must be right.”

... At that time, she was actually still afraid.

It's not that you're afraid of your own end.It's the fear of whether the decision is right or not.

The person who pulls the sword out of the rock---there is someone who is more suitable to be the king of the promise than himself. If that person, shouldn't he be able to build a more peaceful country? Such a fear.

But there is no such person.At least, not for another ten years.During that time someone has to take on this obligation.

Draw your sword and be someone else.

Everything that was feared until now is a thing of the past.

This is the ritual of killing oneself.

If you have human hearts, you cannot protect everyone with a king.

The so-called king is the existence that kills the most people in order to protect the people.

As a young girl, she thought about that every night and trembled until dawn.She never went a day without fear.Yet that too will end today.

No matter how many times she will be alienated, feared, and even betrayed next, her heart will not change.

live for people,

to live with people,

In order to leave a future for people.

That is the matter of being entrusted to the country.Show the king's certificate.

——It is also the matter of living in the responsibility of the king.

For what is most important to her,
And choose to say goodbye to the most important thing she saw in her dream.

"Ah, you chose a difficult path.

But miracles come at a price.

King Arthur.You're going to trade what's most important to you"

The sword was drawn as it should be, and the area was now flooded with sunlight.

She becomes something that is not a person.

The gender of the king is not important, no one will notice the strangeness of the king's appearance as long as the king's actions are indeed "the king's actions" Although no one notices that their king is a woman, it is a fact that she is a It seems insignificant under the premise of being a famous gentleman.This is the beginning of the life of this legendary king. When she pulled out the "chosen golden sword" (Caliburn), she stopped the aging life process and stayed at the 15-year-old level forever.

In the next ten years, Artoria grew into a feudal lord just like her father. At this time, she also gathered many knights, including the famous Knights of the Round Table.

Her growth stops at the moment when she draws the sword, and it is precisely because of the magic power contained in the sword in the stone that many knights think it is an oracle and are terrified.Most still regard their king's immortality as a sacred symbol.

Wang's fighting posture is as if she is a work of art created by the god of war.She stands on the front line at all times, and unlike other kings, no enemy dares to block her way forward.Of course, it was impossible to defeat a human being who was a dragon at that time.

She won great victories in twelve battles in the next ten years. As the king of Britain, she achieved great feats that no previous king had ever achieved.She never retreated in embarrassment because of failure, nor was she insulted because of failure.

She was brought up in the way of the king, and fulfilled the obligations of the king in her own way.

Arturia should try her best to behave like a king's son, because the era of kingship at that time could not allow a woman to be in charge of a vast territory and many knights.

Although some people questioned Artoria's soft beauty at first, only her father, Merlin, Sir Kay, Sir Hector, and later Guinevere knew the real life of the king.In the end, she also naturally sealed up her feelings tightly, thereby blocking her identity, and since then no one has any objections to her petite appearance

She is regarded as a symbol of fairness and selflessness in the eyes of the enemy and the people of her own country. Although both the enemy and the people died in the war, the king's choice has always been considered correct, and no one dares to be right when everyone thinks it is correct express their opinions before the king.

That is to say, her army easily reorganized the cavalry unit that had just been lost, and it was almost unscathed when it defeated the invading barbarian forces.Their enemies did fall apart with her joining, and many people gave their lives to achieve the above effects. The supply of the army is bound to drain the local villages. There is such a description in "Fate/stay night": Before the war, he squeezed one village to reorganize its armaments, and defeated them before the territory was destroyed by aliens, and protected ten villages.Therefore, there is no knight who has killed more people than her, and Arturia's sword may not only be the enemy's innocent souls.She kept in mind her original oath that a king cannot govern a country with human emotions.

Therefore, when she sat on the throne, she never showed any sadness, and she was able to deal with all the affairs in the kingdom almost omnipotently.

There is no bias in dealing with affairs, and there is no partiality in punishing the enemy.

It is precisely because of this that after winning many battles and leading the people in an orderly manner, one of her knights murmured: "King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts.".

Indeed, this kind of thinking led to more and more knights no longer believing that King Arthur could lead them, and several prestigious knights of the round table left Camelot.However, Artoria accepted the fact calmly, and she regarded it as a necessary part of governance, thus further alienating the distance between the knights and her.Abandoning the emotions of being a human being, she will not stop even when she is abandoned, feared, and betrayed.

For those who see these things as a drop in the ocean, there is no right or wrong.

Thus, Artoria's final battle unfolded in such a situation that other people seemed to be in harmony with each other. The Battle of Baden undoubtedly became the epic peak of King Arthur's life.

Finally, in the tenth year, the barbarians were overwhelmed by Artoria's overwhelming results and came to negotiate peace with her.The entire British Isle has returned to a brief period of peace, and the country seems to be on the right track as it dreamed when I was 15 years old.

The adulterous affair between Lancelot and Guinevere was finally exposed, and some knights who fled from Camelot used this as an excuse to fight against Artoria.At the same time, under the influence of Artoria's silence, Iron Aggavin and Mordred led several knights to catch the rape. Lancelot and Guinevere accidentally killed Aggavin on the way to escape Wen and Gao Wen are the two sons.

Arturia did not regard this as an incident of treason, but believed that it was all due to Guinevere's sincere efforts to protect the secret of her gender, which she understood.

But she still acted in accordance with the king's code of conduct, so she was pushed to the stake.It was impossible for Lancelot to just stand by and interfere with the execution, took Guinevere away, and killed Garhoris and Gareth in the confrontation between the two parties.As their brother, Gao Wen became furious and vowed to break off friendship.This has led to a tragedy without right or wrong.

Excalibur's scabbard was stolen when Artoria crossed the English Channel to fight against Lancelot who had fled to her own territory; when she heard the news that Lancelot had just returned to hermitage, she returned to the island exhausted At that time, she found that the British Isles had already been torn apart by civil strife.

Although she exhausted all her strength, sacrificed many of her colleagues, and wiped out many of her former subordinates and people, the victory that the rebels thought was within easy reach turned into a tug-of-war for seven days and six nights.Finally, she pierced the chest of the rebellious knight Mordred with the holy lance Rongomyniad, and Mordred then smashed Artoria's skull with the Clarent.

His dying body was escorted to Elven Island by the last Knight of the Round Table, Bedivere.

Artoria ordered the sad Bedivere to return Excalibur to the Elven Lake; however, when Bedywell left, she was still thinking about her mistakes and regretting her choice to become king.

And as early as Kamran Hill, swallowing his last breath before falling into a coma, Alaya signed a heroic spirit contract with her, promising that he would give Artoria the opportunity to find the Holy Grail that could fulfill all wishes.

At the same time, Artoria is also required to obtain the Holy Grail to realize her wish (because she failed to protect Britain, she hopes to go back to the time when she drew the sword in the stone to re-elect the king, and erase her own existence as the king), and become a heroic spirit after death.

Then, she seemed to see the existence of the main god.

In her original world, she unexpectedly became the task target of the main god.

World-level copy, attack her.

Things that were not clear before are now instantly clear.

It turned out that in that world, there was also the existence of the Lord God.
