"Duke George, is there anything else you want to say. If our four dukes can't agree, there may be unexpected changes in the succession ceremony in the future." Lungomiard said at the right moment.
The situation in front of him is very clear, because of what Lucifer just said, the three princes have already recognized his qualifications as a king.In the end there was only one left.
"I... agree. But there is one last question." St. George hesitated for a long time, and finally made a choice.
Three to one, if he doesn't agree.Britain is likely to face civil war.
"Let's talk, I'm not the kind of tyrant who doesn't even listen to his ministers' advice. It's also a king's responsibility to listen to his ministers' advice." Lucifer looked at St. George indifferently, and there was neither joy nor self-satisfaction in his words. .
"Let me see your strength."
When the words fell, St. George drew out the holy sword from his waist, and the sword in his hand was already slashing towards Lucifer.Just as the blade was about to touch Lucifer, a golden light flashed from his hand, and then, the sword in St. George's hand flew into the air.And he himself took a few steps back.
"Do you want to continue?" Lucifer's left hand was still under the cloak, and the holy sword in his right hand just hit the sword in George's hand.
"The knight Joeljos swears to you that I will follow in your footsteps until death. Please be kind to the blood of the late king."
"I accept your loyalty. You may have made a mistake on one point. I never thought about what to do to them." Withdrawing the sword, Lucifer walked towards the door voluntarily.He left the next matter to the four archdukes.
After a long time, the atmosphere in the hall finally returned to normal.
"Everyone, how do you feel?" Lungominiade looked at the other three archdukes indifferently.
"I am very satisfied, our new king." Semiramis made his own judgment.
"Perhaps there is no one in the whole of Britain better suited to be king than him. Lengomiad, where did you find him?" Boudica smiled and said her own thoughts.
"I didn't find him, he found me."
"I also have to admit that compared to the previous king. He may be more suitable for the title of king, but this courage may also bring Britain into the abyss of war." Although St. George's words were affirmative, they revealed some concerns.
"Think about it later. If he can let Britain dominate the continent, I'd be happy to see this situation." Semiramis held the opposite opinion. *
no.11 Who is in favor, who is against (asking for votes, asking for flowers)
In the royal city of Britain, the white flag flutters in the wind.
Today was the last day of drawing swords, and almost all the knights came to the scene.They are waiting anxiously, waiting for the one who is said to be able to draw the sword to appear.
Lucifer had already formulated a strategy with the four Grand Dukes yesterday. Considering the acceptance of the people, Lucifer put the sword back temporarily and asked Merlin, a third-rate magician, to spread rumors around, and the content of the rumors was nothing more than A man of destiny has already appeared, and he can pull out the legendary sword of the king.
Thousands of knights are surrounded by the sword of the king, all of them have drawn their swords, and they are not unwilling to fail.Just want to witness the birth of the king with my own eyes and serve for it.
After waiting for a long time, they finally saw Lucifer appearing in blue and white armor.Behind him was his immediate knight, Arturia.The shining white armor was particularly conspicuous, as if captured by Lucifer's aura, the knights stepped back unconsciously, and they made way for this strange knight.
Lucifer came to the side of the King's Sword. He held the sword in one hand and easily pulled it out of the stone.In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky were dispelled, and a golden light fell directly, reflecting on his entire body.
"The one who draws this sword is the King of Britain. Offer me your loyalty." Holding the holy sword in his hand, Lucifer said this famous sentence.
For a time, many knights lowered their heads unconsciously and knelt down on one knee. They had waited for this person to appear for too long.However, this was not the case for everyone. A blond knight came straight to Lucifer when everyone knelt down.
"I can't agree! You are not the bloodline of the late king." Knight Gawain stood up.
Next to him was a group of knights similar to him, who had questions about the Kingsword itself.If it was one of them who drew the sword now, they might not be like this, but Lucifer was a knight he had never seen before, and despite the insignia of Duke Lion on his armor, they still Can not accept.
Facing the open attack of the knights who were Gawain's way, Lucifer was not angry, on the contrary, he was very happy.Arturia clenched the sword in her hand. She was about to make a move to let the ignorant people in front of her understand the price of offending the king, but Lucifer raised his hand and signaled her not to.
"Tell me, knight. Are you looking for the blood of the royal family, or the long-standing heritage of this country?"
Originally, I wondered if I wanted to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys.Did the chicken jump out so quickly?
In order for people to recognize their own strength, at least superficially recognize their identity as a king.Lucifer needs a fact that everyone can accept, and this fact is naturally constituted by strength.
"It's not like that, it's just that I can't accept a king who doesn't even know his name. If you want me to agree, show it to me and use the sword in your hand." Gawain looked at Lucifer seriously, between words , not only did he not recognize Lucille as king, but he even drew his own sword.
"Young knight, do you know what you are doing? Dare to face the king's sword is a death penalty!" Lucifer looked at Gawain calmly, his words full of majesty.
"If you defeat me and prove your qualifications as king, I'm willing to die. But if you can't even do that, you're not qualified to be king. This king is messed up enough, and we can't let him continue to mess up. . For this, we need a strong king."
Gawain's words were supported by some high-level knights, and some neutral knights were shaken because of this, but some knights still bowed their heads and knelt on the ground.
"Yes! Gawain is right!"
"That's right! Britain doesn't need a fragile king"
……
For a time, the crowd was furious.Lucifer looked at the many knights in front of him, and roughly understood the group they belonged to.
"It seems that this is not only your wish, but the wish of all of you. Well, although you have offended me too many times because of your ignorance, I still have the tolerance as a king. But you also give me Listen carefully, my tolerance is only one time." Lucifer opened his arms and announced loudly to the surroundings. After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Gawain.
"Draw your sword, Gao Wenqing. Use the sword in your hand to see if I am worthy of your life."
A powerful flow of magic power erupted from Gawain's body, and the golden light was like the sun.With his feet moving, he charged towards Lucifer fiercely with swords in both hands.
20 meters, Lucifer didn't move.
Ten meters away, Lucifer still didn't move.
Five meters away, Lucifer was as calm as before.
Just when everyone thought that the newly born king had been so frightened by Gawain's charge that he couldn't move, there was a sudden 'click' in the air, an orange light flashed, and the sword in Gawain's hand had been hit. fly into the air.
Gawain stared at the hands that had long since lost the sword, and stood three meters away from Lucifer. The sword in the sky spun and fell straight into the ground in front of him.
One blow, just one blow, and the knight's sword flew away.The absolute overwhelming advantage made everyone in the audience suddenly lose their ability to speak. *
no.12 Knights (for tickets, for flowers)
Knight Gawain may not be the strongest among them, but he is also in the front row.No knight had ever thought that someone would knock the sword out of his hand with a single blow, a result that even Gawain himself hadn't thought of.
This time, no one dared to question Lucifer's strength as a king.Although other aspects are unknown, there is no doubt that Lucifer is qualified only as a force.
"Knight Gawain, disrespectful to the king. Willing to die..." At this moment, Gawain knelt down and lowered his head.
"Your disrespect stems from your loyalty to the country. I don't hate your loyalty. But I can't forgive your sins. So, Knight Gawain, are you willing to accept any punishment."
Lucifer's words made Gawain prepare for the worst. Offending the king was a capital offense. He knew this very well.But he doesn't regret it.
"Yes!"
"I now officially appoint you as Chief Knight of the Round Table, directly under the National Knights Order of this country. Take your men and go with me to the South and drive France out of this land."
"king!"
This time, Gawain was stunned.Lucifer didn't care about his complicated and moved expression, he retracted his sword and announced loudly to all the knights present.
"Everyone present, listen up. From now on, I announce the official establishment of the Knights of the Round Table, with Gawain as the first knight and also the chief knight. Bring your loyalty to the front! I will correct your honor, allow The best of you knights join the Order."
Lucifer's words made the scene boil, glory and self-esteem, country and people.Forgiving the rebellious king because of his loyalty, his popularity reached its peak at this moment.Not to mention that Lucifer distributed this honor to the knighthood of his subordinates in the name of the king.
"As ordered!" Gao Wen put one hand on his chest, and a hot tear flashed from the corner of his eyes.
That's right.They had waited too long for such a king to appear.
"King!" With this voice, the crowd immediately began to cheer.
In this lively crowd, Arturia smiled and looked at her arm, and finally, her eyes turned to Lucifer, her eyes were determined.
On a high-rise building in the royal city, the four grand dukes witnessed everything just now.Originally, they discussed to help Lucifer suppress the situation, but they were a little worried after being directly rejected by Lucifer.But now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.
"Not bad! The situation is much better than expected, and there will be a new force immediately. The pressure on the front line will also be less." Semiramis supported his chin with one hand and leaned half against the guardrail. , the eyes she looked at Lucifer were full of interest.
"Become a private royal knight order on the spot, in order to gather the living strength of Jae-yeon, and supplement his own guards. Very skilled, our new king does not seem to be the type that only has power. Lungominia De, isn't this really what you taught him?" Boudica looked at the goddess beside her with surprise.
Most of the knights here were not originally the guardians of the royal family. They belonged to different places and families.But in this case, Lucifer made the decision to form a knight order, and no one else could stop it.Even reluctantly, they could only watch these knights join the king's command.
After all, the loyalty of knights is there. If anyone says that they are not willing, they will immediately become the target of public criticism.
As far as the result is concerned, Lucifer got a new army in vain.No matter what the fate of this army will be in the future, at least it can be used for now.
"If the person standing there just now was me, that knight would be dead. I wouldn't use such means, and I'm not good at it." Gominiad responded to her calmly.
If she were the king, she would not forgive the disobedient knight.With his blood, others can understand that the king's majesty is not to be offended, and even other weak people feel fear.She doesn't have the means of Lucifer.It's not that I can't think of it, it's just that I don't think about it because of my personality.
"Oh! That's right, that's his own ability."
"The king's ability is already reassuring, everyone, we will see if we can get through this difficulty." St. George made a summary for this assessment.
Compared with the small difficulties that Lucifer has now, there are even bigger difficulties waiting for them in the future.
Ross in the north, Rome in the east, France in the south, and Britain, surrounded by three kingdoms, will face a real test. *
no.13 also play two-line operation (seeking tickets, asking for flowers)
King City has just entered the night, and the knights who have just gathered are getting ready to go.The next day, they will set off for the front line, and they are ready to completely beat the invading French back home under the leadership of the new king.
Inside the royal city, the private luxury manor of Semiramis has been under martial law, and there are two kinds of badges of the knights guarding this place.At this moment, the four grand dukes and the new king are discussing how to solve the dilemma facing the country.Originally, St. George was going to let Lucifer directly enter the palace, but Lucifer temporarily declined because the situation was too chaotic.
Although there is only a nominal princess left in the royal family, no one knows if there are spies there. Negotiating secrets in such a place is simply courting death.In this regard, the princes also agreed.The Grand Duke of Nishi also used his own private manor as a negotiating place.
After a simple opening, Semiramis jumped right into the subject.Among the four archdukes, Gominiad is the most powerful, Boudica is good at defense, St. George is a handsome man with both offense and defense, and she is better at intelligence and power.
Britain has been fighting for years, and now it has become this ghost and has not completely collapsed. A large part of it is because of the existence of the four of them.
"Now there is good news and bad news, Wang, which one do you want to hear first?" Semiramis' smile added a hint of drama.
Looking at her, Lucifer always felt that the so-called good news might not be very good.
"Good news." He said directly.
"Huh! I thought Wang would listen to the bad news first, like most people do. Only then will he feel better when he hears the good news."
"There's enough bad news now, let me ease my mood by listening to the good news first."
"The good news is that the three armies of the Grey Eagle, Nightmare, and Flying Dragon in France chose to rest temporarily after capturing the White Rock Fortress, and did not continue to attack the Dragonscale Fortress. Our last line of defense in the south is still there. The king has been elected, Joe Erchos can also immediately return to Dragonscale to command the battle."
"Is this good news? Is there a decisive misunderstanding between our perceptions of good news and bad news?"
Lucifer quietly listened to the good news from Semiramis. For some reason, he always felt that this news had nothing to do with the so-called good news.As things stand now, this is all good news, and it's hard to imagine what bad news looks like.
"Compared to the next news, it is indeed good news."
"Speak! I have a good heart, and I can bear no matter what news I hear." Lucifer waved her to continue.
Even if she said now that the Romans had come to the edge of the royal city, Lucifer could accept it.
"Then I'll just say it straight. The frozen soil in the north - news came from Ross, Leidi has issued a mobilization order, and the four beastized corps are assembling. Once assembled, this troop with a total of more than [-] may go south at any time. .According to the previous information, they are preparing to invade this royal city in one fell swoop this time."
After Semiramis finished speaking, the expressions of the other three did not change. They had heard the news before.They were still observing Lucifer's reaction at the same time.
Although Lucifer felt pressured about this, it was not too much.
"How do you feel that we are about to face the risk of fighting on two fronts. Didn't Gominiad fear these barbarians before?" He looked at the Duke of Goddess beside him.
These days, I have been a guest at Gominiad's house. Thanks to a certain maid, Lucifer has listened to a legend about the lion goddess.It is said that before she guarded the North, Rose was always a big problem, but after her, at least there is no need to worry too much about Rose's invasion.
"Their way of fighting is very savage. If they don't fight them once for a while, they will forget the pain they have suffered. It has been like this for years." Gominiad calmly stated a certain fact.
"It turns out that, in simple terms, it's a lack of beating, right. Is there anything else? If it's just like this, with our goddess here, the situation isn't too bad." Lucifer understood the current situation in the north.
To put it simply, the invasion of Ross makes it impossible for Lungominiad to help in the south, but at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the problems in the north.
"Then I will continue. To the east, although Caligula, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was seriously ill, he still ordered the three major legions, led by the sword emperor Lucius, to move westward. As for the reason, it seems that he heard When we got to the south, we were defeated by the French, so we are ready to do it." After Semiramis was sure that Lucifer could bear the bad news, another even worse news broke out.
Not only the north, but the Holy Roman Empire in the east and west also has the idea of taking the opportunity to make trouble.The Roman army was much stronger than the barbarians to the north, although the north was numerically superior.
For a moment, Lucifer understood why the four dukes were silent, and even when the new king was crowned, he couldn't see any expressions of joy.
All right!Although I had thought this was a mess before, I didn't expect the problem to be more serious than I thought.South, north, and east are all troubles.Fortunately, there is the sea to the west, and there will be no... um!and many more……*
no.14 I won't be stolen from my home (please ask for tickets, ask for flowers)
Thinking to the west, Lucifer officially confirmed to the Grand Duke of the West in front of him.
"A war on three fronts... Well, Duke Semiramis. Let me ask you one more thing. There's nothing wrong with the west. It's already a war on three fronts. If there's another pirate or something from the west, the country is almost over."
At present, the domestic internal worries have not been completely resolved, and foreign troubles have continued.If there is another accident on the west side, even if the other three sides are fine in the end, it will be fatal.
"The west side is fine, but only temporarily."
Compared to the problems of the other three sides, the quietness on the west side is somewhat unusual.Even if it is a sea, the living standards of the people on this continent are not bad, and warships or something can definitely be produced.
