Lords of Camelot

Chapter 658 The mantis stalks the cicada

The Lord of Camelot secretly convened a meeting. Those who were qualified to attend the meeting were those recognized by Mordred, including his brother and his uncle.

Gawain, Tristan, Agragwen, Wincenrib and many others were here. Mordred handed out the letter written by Davian, and everyone quickly read through it, and those who read the letter showed a solemn look.

"I can confirm that this is indeed Davian's handwriting." Wen Qinlib was the first to speak.

"The paper has been there for some time, and it must have been sandwiched between books for preservation. It was not written recently." Aguiwen was the second one.

"The fact that he can come here means that Merlin also knows about this matter. This matter cannot be false." Tristan was the third one, and when he said this, everyone knew that this matter was true and not false.

Finally, Gawain spoke. He asked, "So, Mordred, what is the purpose of your calling this meeting?"

"I intend to start the battle when King Arthur returns from his conquest of Rome. I will kill King Arthur and I will put an end to all this."

When Mordred expressed his thoughts, the others immediately showed expressions of pity.

"Has everything come to this? Mordred, how can I let you make such a sacrifice?" As soon as Wincinlib spoke, Mordred stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking.

"I'm afraid I only have one or two years left to live. That's how artificial people are. When other children are truly in their prime, my life will soon end."

When such a cruel fact was revealed, everyone didn't know what to say. Then Mordred told them his plan.

He will be labeled a traitor, and he will secretly organize those princes who are dissatisfied with Arthur, and use their troops to besiege King Arthur. And he will challenge Arthur to a one-on-one duel, and he will win the battle, or at least die together.

When the victory or defeat is decided, the First Legion will be responsible for harvesting the battlefield. When everything is over, the First Legion will arrive "just in time" to wipe out the rebels and rescue King Arthur's army.

"But the brave and noble King Arthur and the traitor Mordred perished together. Let this story be passed down to future generations. Regardless of the reason for the rebellion, the title of traitor will be placed on me alone."

Gawain smiled at this moment, and then said that there was still Lancelot over there. Relying on a mob might be able to stop the tired Roman expeditionary army, but as long as Lancelot was still there, then Mordred would definitely have no chance of winning.

"So I'll go with you. It's not hard to stop Lancelot though. Leave it to me."

Hearing Gawain's words, Mordred showed a surprised expression, and then he smiled and said, "Is that really possible?" In Mordred's plan, after he and King Arthur fell, Gawain should be the best person to lead the rest of the people to continue to the new era.

However, Gawain just shook his head and said, "Mordred, when you decide to bear the name of a traitor and we do not stop you, it means that we have also become traitors. Forget about the others, let me, your brother, fight this final battle with you."

The word "brother" gave Mordred a great shock at this moment. He couldn't help choking up, and then he said to Gawain: "Yes... Thank you, brother."

Gawain patted his shoulder nonchalantly, and then Mordred said, "The battle will take place in Camlann, where I will fight the destined final battle with King Arthur. The rest is left to you, my brother, my uncle."

The others nodded, and Mordred ended the gathering with these words:

"I will be the last betrayer in the dark age, and the last martyr before the light comes."

After that, Mordred left Camelot alone and began to act secretly. He connected with the princes who were secretly dissatisfied with Arthur. He persuaded these people with his amazing eloquence and eloquence. These people did not know that it was a trap, but believed Mordred's words.

Because Mordred used the past events of Davian and Guinevere to create a character who hated King Arthur. Coupled with his moving performance, these people easily believed that Mordred really intended to overthrow the old king and become the new king.

In addition, Mordred used his authority to disperse the First Legion to various parts of Britain to defend against the Saxons. Camelot created the illusion that it was only relying on Gaheris and part of his garrison troops for defense.

What made these princes feel even more relieved was that Gawain had temporarily returned to Orkney in the north, which created a perfect opportunity for their actions.

Moreover, Mordred had already decided that they would not attack when the enemy landed. In that case, although King Arthur and his army were very tired, their morale was at its peak, and it would be a great disadvantage to fight at that time.

So they had to strike in the middle of the road and arrange an ambush on the way back to Camelot, so that they could strike at King Arthur when he was least prepared.

"Everyone, just stay outside and delay Lancelot, but please lend me a group of elite soldiers so that we can succeed in the battle with Arthur. After all, he is the invincible knight king. Even I dare not say whether he will be able to break through at that stage."

At this point, these guys of course happily agreed. After all, they didn't have to face Arthur in person, so they could just let the young Mordred fight Arthur, and then they could just pick up the ready-made ones.

Such a good opportunity is something you can't even ask for on normal days.

However, they had already made up their minds. If the plan failed, they would just bring the heads of the guys around to Arthur to make amends. Anyway, with Arthur's character, he would not do such a ruthless thing as killing the surrenderists.

So from now on, this deal is a sure win. Maybe with luck, Mordred will die together with King Arthur. Hehe~ Then wouldn't it be my chance to become the King of Britain?

Mordred knew the behavior of these people very well, and also knew their stupidity. He knew all too well the petty thefts in their minds, but it didn't matter, as long as he could trick them into that piece of land.

Oh~ and it would be perfect if we could take away some of their elite soldiers. After all, Mordred knew very well that Arthur and his father Davian were both strong men of the same level, and it would be a bit difficult for him to win with his own ability.

So before he set out to "meet" King Arthur, he opened King Arthur's treasure house. While he was choosing weapons, the brilliance of silver shone in front of him.
