Camelot Dawn

How to escape, the only thing he begged Hilarian was: "Your Highness, for the sake of my wife, we have no children, and she treats this nephew as her own. For this reason, I beg you, just take all my Property, take my life, but let Drangel live—even if it is permanent exile, never set foot on the land of the Visigoths again!"

Hilarion still asked him persistently: "Dranger followed you to rebel, did he know and voluntarily, or did he not know?"

Salufi lowered her head. "I don't know, Your Highness. I don't know."

This event later became a thorn in Hilarion's heart, keeping him awake at night for countless nights.In the end he finally decided to let Drangel go, and when he went to inform Drangel of the verdict, Sadan was by his side.

The 23-year-old young man couldn't bear the pain of losing his brother. He asked Hilary Ryan angrily: "Why should he be forgiven? He is a murderer. I will kill him to avenge my brother - Celine is only 19 years old ah!"

Drangel, who was curled up in the prison, raised his head expressionlessly, his wine-red eyes dimly reflected Sadan's distorted face: "If I don't kill him, do I have to wait for him to come up and kill me?"

Sadan gave him a vicious look with eyes that seemed to be eating people, and every word he spat out between his teeth seemed to have been poisoned: "You deserve to die!"

Drangel then stopped talking.Hilarion tried to reassure Sadan, but just as his hand was on the other's shoulder, the latter shook it off impatiently and walked away angrily.

A knot.No matter how long it took, Hilarion, who recalled these things again, could only say this forever.Back then, he was the one who prevented Sadan from killing Drangel, and now he is going to do the same thing again, which will definitely arouse Sadan's redoubled anger.

Why do you need to do this?Derangel is a betrayer, and now he is even an enemy; Sadan has always been his right-hand man, and will assist him for a longer time in the future.Even if it is because of the reluctance to let go of the old memories, it should be just the emotion of the 21-year-old self. Now that it has been so long, what else can't let go?

But that's about it.Hilarion just couldn't sacrifice Derangel in exchange for Sadan's longer-term and firmer support.It's not just as simple as watching him grow up from a child, it's not just as simple as he swore to fight for himself and everything he wants to protect, and it's not just as simple as the New Year before the Salufi rebellion. It’s as simple as kissing yourself secretly at a banquet; but because when Hilarion saw the polite, mature and prudent Governor of Gaul, who was completely different from what he remembered, he could still recall everything that happened in an instant. This thing feels like turning back time.

——At that time, he crossed his arms and looked at the blond governor a few times, then frowned slightly and said, your face is disfigured?It was as if they had met less than a month ago and were intimate.However, at that time, he had not spoken a word to the other party for ten years.

Hilarion didn't know what kind of magical power allowed him to find all his years and all the good memories in those years in Drangel.When he looked at him, he could think of a child's golden smile, a boy's stubborn eyes, and the youthful kiss between the banquet coat and temple shadow.Even though Drangel's reappearance brought about a cruel reality, which cut people and memories like a blade, he still felt contradictory that traces of sweetness could be found in those scattered pains .

This is the knot in Hilarion's heart.He loves a golden boy, even though the boy betrayed him and became an enemy, his love still exists tenaciously and turbulently.In this way, he was repelled and attracted at the same time, knowing that there was despair ahead but still unable to extricate himself, he was content with it.

——Really, dead knot.

■

But whatever Hilarion thought, he was king of the Visigoths.Therefore, he used the cruel treatment of Lemonosos and his relatives by the Roman army after defeating the Vandals as a gimmick, and took Samules' attack on Visigoth as an opportunity to call on his subjects to unite and fight against the Roman Empire.

He said: "Brutality and barbarism were inherent characteristics of the Romans. They believed that this reflected the will to power and the natural right of their own people to rule over other peoples. In order to force other peoples to recognize this, They will use anything and everything. Once they have defeated a people, they must use brutal means to bring them into submission - just as they did with the Vandals. Remenosos is hateful, but we still don't want him To die in such a miserable way, because that may very well be our future.

"So now, the generals who I regard as right-hand men, it's time for you to make a decision. If you don't want to be captured and escorted to the triumphant team to show the public, if you don't want your wives and children to be tortured and thrown before the big sacrifice Down the cliff, if you don't want to see our Toulouse struggling like Rome at the hands of the great Alaric, put on your armor and fight!

"I don't believe that the self-proclaimed civilized, but brutal" poor empire can defeat our heroic and selfless warriors, and I don't believe that any of you here will run away. So come with me, put on your armor, pick up Arm your swords and mount your horses! What you believe in will be honored by your valor, and what you hold dear will last forever because of your fearlessness!"

As Hilarion spoke, he passed among the generals until he reached the end of the hall.The two heavy wooden doors were pushed open by his hands.

The hall suddenly brightened.There is a long staircase outside the gate of the palace. When Turkma got married, the flower petals were spread from here to the bottom of the staircase.Now any soft colors are gone, replaced by the cold light on the stone, the densely packed army gathered under the steps, and the uniform weapons and armor exude a biting aura.Hilarion's figure appeared at the top of the steps, a tsunami of shouts erupted from the army, and the sound of shields knocking thundered through the sky!

However, Hillaryan, who was standing at the top of the boiling crowd, was strangely rational and calm in his heart.The face of a certain blond youth unfolded quietly in his mind like an ancient scroll washed clean of lead.

He thought that all a person's vows are insignificant in troubled times, so those who break the contract have good reasons not to be criticized.Man is an extremely strong creature who always thinks of himself as too fragile. In fact, no one can afford to lose.Hilarion thought that he had gotten used to it long ago and could calmly put down the memories and move forward, but the fact was beyond his expectation.

But so what?It is impossible for him to go back to the past, and it is impossible for him to erase the deep gap between himself and his enemies.

He can only do his best to protect, even if he loses the trust and loyalty of his subordinates.That's all.

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to keep this chapter as a stock, but today is Boss Wang’s birthday, how can I be silent? So I added a new chapter today.w

Happy birthday boss! I'm 65 years old, let's lead everyone towards a well-off life in an all-round way hhh

☆, barrier

According to the thinking of the Roman side, the order in which they fought with them should be the Vandals first (since the governor has already done so), then the Visigoths, and finally other forces; and they took it for granted that after the Visigoths were defeated , the other forces in Gaul will soon be wiped out like a storm.But the facts did not go as they wished. Some people were more anxious than them, and even the Gaul barbarians who had lived here for generations, that was Arthur and his knights.The reason is simple, they fought far away from their hometown, and their supplies could not last long.According to Arthur's plan, this trip to the European continent will take up territory, and it will not be easy to keep the results when the melee starts, so he has to start early.

So not long after Derangel went to war against the Vandals, Arthur suddenly launched an attack on the Roman "army" north of the border of Hilarion.The Roman general opposite him was Servius, Derangel's subordinate. Until this moment, he believed that his task was to hold the line of defense in the early stage, and wait for the right time to eliminate the remnants and defeated soldiers in front of him. Therefore, for Arthur Servius was unprepared for the surprise attack.

This led to the rapid loss of his forward positions.Servius' base camp is in Tocteria, and in front of Tocteria, there is a deep defense line built along a city belt, with a river in the middle of the defense line as a natural roadblock.If Arthur wants to defeat the enemy, he must target his base camp, but if he wants to attack the base camp, he has to fight his way through the layers of defense lines.Therefore, Arthur chose Sindilua as the first target, because it was the only city across the river from other cities, and it was weak and easy to attack and gain a firm foothold.Sure enough, Cindy Luah quickly fell under the strong attack, and Arthur crossed the river behind the city in one go.

But once the river was crossed, the situation suddenly became severe.Although Servius lost his position when he came up, he was not worried at all, because he really didn't need to worry.He has set up a thorough defensive net on this side of the river, as soon as the enemy troops show their heads, he can immediately pounce on them and strangle them, making them completely unable to become a threat, let alone threaten him.

Lancelot, who is now serving as a striker, encountered the situation envisioned by Servius.As soon as his troops crossed the river, they were cut off from the follow-up troops by the enemy's sharp knife and surrounded by groups.Just like when a spider eats its prey, it first wraps it in silk and then wipes it out bit by bit, so Servius seems to plan to get rid of the vanguard in this way.Lancelot was trapped by him in a small area around the city of Baioloa, completely lost contact with the friendly forces, and seemed really helpless.

But it's not really impossible.

For example, on a clear night, on the shady side of the city wall where the moonlight cannot be seen, a few dark shadows moved up quietly. A ray of moonlight passed the edge of the shadows, and the taut rope flickered vaguely, and then fell into darkness. and silence.

The expressions of the people in the darkness could not be seen clearly. Roland standing on the city wall could only see the people who climbed up the rope ladder nodded to him after standing firm. "Mission completed, Lord Roland." The leader whispered.

Roland stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder twice like a brother. "Thanks for your hard work. I'll take you to see Mr. Lancelot. Everyone else, please go to rest." After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the steps. Those people followed behind him, and their figures gradually disappeared into the shadows under the city wall. gone.

At this time, it was already the climax of the moon, and even when they were in danger of being besieged, most of the soldiers had already rested.The surrounding area is shrouded in night, and a bright light is very obvious, as if a lighthouse guides the ship at night.Roland half-fumbled in the dark to the door of the room where the light was shining, and lightly knocked the button. There was a voice of permission from inside, and he pushed the door in.

"Sir, the scout has brought back what you want to know about the situation at the enemy's checkpoint."

By the time Lancelot had listened to all the reports, it was already quite late at night.The soldier was allowed to go back to rest after reporting all the situation. Anyone could see that he was extremely exhausted from body to mind.On the contrary, Roland followed from the beginning to the end without showing any signs of impatience or tiredness—even though Lancelot caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye just now, he tried his best to slap his head unobtrusively while bowing his head. a small yawn.

He couldn't help but feel a little joking, which was a self-adjustment in this boring and bleak life: "It's been hard work to survive until now, Roland."

Roland raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, there were some tears in his eyes when he yawned just now: "Yeah, it's really too late, I almost can't bear it. It's really not easy to do this every day."

Lancelot wrote down the content of the scout's report just now with a pen, and asked casually: "Why bother?" When he finished writing down the things at hand, he could end the day's work and go to rest. He felt a little relieved. think.

However, Roland always took Lancelot's words very seriously, so he cheered up and said solemnly, "Because I want to become a knight as soon as possible, Lord Lancelot."

Lancelot was still writing, and said: "Your experience and qualifications are already qualified for promotion. If you didn't insist on delaying, you might already be the general of the ruling party at this time. What? , finally changed your mind?"

Roland shook his head, even though he knew that Lancelot couldn't see it: "Actually, it's not enough. I understood it when I was fighting in Scotland, although I have learned a lot from you over the years, and I also understand the knight's creed very well. Perfect, but I still lack the awareness of 'reality'. When the responsibility of an army really falls on my shoulders, I have no idea how to do it. So if I want to be really qualified, I have to continue to learn from you every day. Learning on the job."

Unexpectedly, he got such a serious answer. Lancelot couldn't help but raised his head to look at Roland, and what caught his eyes was the burning expression of the young man.The perfunctory emotions before could not help but fade away a little.

"Alright," he finished writing the last word and put down the pen, "then when you think you have learned something really useful, come and let me confer the seal on you. I have been waiting for that day for a long time." Said Watch him stand up.

Roland then stood up: "If you confer the title on me, does that mean that I will be loyal to you? I will never be able to leave you, right?"

Lancelot froze for a moment, then smiled: "It seems so."

A happy emotion rose in Roland's heart, but he concealed it well and didn't show it on his face, so Lancelot didn't know it.So Lancelot just said as usual: "Go and rest now. Tomorrow, there are important things."

Such peaceful days lasted for a few more days, during which several batches of reconnaissance teams were sent out, bringing back more information about the enemy.Lancelot now knew that Servius' idea was to use the siege to digest him, while his forward turned around to repel the enemy who had not yet crossed the river, that is, Arthur and the others.Based on this idea, after trapping Lancelot, he turned the main force around in order to confront Arthur head-on, while paying less and less attention to Lancelot.This was not to underestimate the enemy, because Lancelot, who had run out of supplies under the siege, had no choice but to die. Servius was confident that he would win, so he didn't think about it at all.

For so many days, Lancelot has also seen his intention clearly, but he is a little thankful that Servius planned to surround him instead of killing himself, which somewhat left him with a glimmer of hope for a comeback .Therefore, he asked Roland to arrange several rounds of reconnaissance squads to sneak into the enemy's sphere of influence at great risk, to detect where the weak link of the encirclement was, and to break out of the encirclement before the troops started to panic.The only thing that made him feel more depressed was that he couldn't get in touch with the friendly army at this time. If he could get in touch with the outside, with their support, the breakout would definitely be completed more smoothly.

However, since there is no way to get in touch with the outside world, they can only do it in the dark.After more than a week of no movement, Lancelot chose to launch a breakout operation in the early morning. He had already roughly understood the distribution of the enemy forces. The enemy's defense in the opposite rear is also tight, and it is not easy to break through.However, between these two poles, that is, the transition zone between the north and the south, the distribution of troops in the encirclement circle is not very uniform.Because some places happen to be at the junction of the two forces, neither side pays enough attention to it, and it naturally becomes a natural breakthrough.Considering that Servius is the northernmost wing under Derangel's command, and his power in the north is relatively weak, Lancelot finally chose the northwest corner of the encirclement to carry out the operation.

Perhaps it was luck, or maybe the friendly army took a fancy to Servius's weakness in the north as he did. Not long after Lancelot broke through the encirclement, he unexpectedly encountered his own army that had not been seen for many days.Seeing this, the enemy troops who were chasing after him and trying to catch him back into the encirclement saw this and retreated decisively without further entanglement. Lancelot, whose efforts were almost in vain, couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

The day's fighting ended shortly after his pursuers withdrew.Lancelot followed the friendly army back to their camp, and it was only then that he realized that the commander of this army belonged to Gachris.When he had identified himself, the commander took him to Gachlis' quarter, a place further south and nearer to Arthur's camp, which was now across the river.

Gakhris was not very surprised to see Lancelot appearing here, and said half-jokingly: "I thought you would arrive a few days earlier, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can break through the encirclement smoothly! Thank you for your hard work, Unlucky guy."

Lancelot felt that these words were a bit confusing, but there seemed to be nothing unreasonable, and it was not easy for him to grasp some trivial details and ask carefully.After being silent for a while, he said hesitantly: "I'm afraid I have to go back to His Majesty, or at least get in touch with the headquarters... I need to know whether my troops should rest or where to send them."

Gakhris thought for a while, then nodded: "Indeed, His Majesty doesn't seem to have mentioned this matter before. But it's easy to handle. I'll contact the base camp immediately, and I'll tell you the result after I finish the question."

Lancelot finally grasped the suspicious point in the words. "You said 'before'?"

"That's right," Gachris nodded without any surprise, "Your Majesty gave me orders about you before, including that you might break through the area I'm in charge of, so that I'd be ready to pick you up. But he seems to have forgotten Tell me what to do next after you come back, I have to ask for instructions..."

After he finished speaking, he left. Lancelot did not stop him from continuing to question, but recalled what happened after he met the friendly army.At first, he didn't think it was strange, or didn't pay attention to many details that felt strange, but now they jumped out: He just said his name to the subordinate Gakhris, and the person who didn't know him brought him to the hospital without any doubt. Arrived at Gakhris' camp; after coming here, there was actually a ready-made place for his subordinates to rest in the camp; Gakhris was not surprised to see himself at all, and he didn't ask what happened in the past ten days, just He said that he thought he should have appeared earlier—these small details had to make Lancelot suspect that Gakhris and his entire army knew that he would break through at that time and at that place.Even - recalling what Gachris had just said - Arthur knew.

But how is it possible?Lancelot frowned suspiciously. He never sent a letter, let alone sent a subordinate to secretly ventilate.

What made him even more puzzled was that if Arthur and Gakhris got in touch with the encirclement through some means, and could even know their plan to break out, why didn't they let themselves know?He was really puzzled.

When these doubts were churning fiercely in his heart, Gachris returned and brought back an order from the base camp: "Lancelot, your troops will be resting for a while, Your Majesty hopes that you will set off early tomorrow morning, Go to base camp and meet him."

Just right, Lancelot thought, it would be most appropriate for Arthur to answer his questions.

■

Lancelot arrived at base camp the next morning.Since the entire army hadn't crossed the river yet, the scale of this base camp was not as large as the one in Sindelua before, and the layout seemed a bit hasty, more like a temporary stronghold.Arthur and Kay are here to deal with the military affairs sent back from the front lines, and Kay's troops are also stationed here.Next to the base camp is Kowen's garrison. During the battle, his troops are located on the south side of the central army, escorting the entire right wing.On the further periphery of Kovan's garrison is Androme, who is still at the forefront of the entire army, both offensive and defensive, just as he was when he fought Attila.If Lancelot had not fallen into a trap, he should be stationed at this time a little closer to the base camp than Androme.Now there was indeed a space for him, and he handed over the troops to Roland to settle down there, while he came to Arthur's garrison alone.

Obviously Arthur was very happy to see him back safely, and talked to him a lot, for example, Androme was dissatisfied that he was always being cannon fodder on the outside (so after you rested, his position will be up to you To replace, oh, of course not as cannon fodder, Arthur said), for example, why didn’t he find that Gao Wen was so good at defending the flanks before (because you used to give him the main attack order, Lancelot thought ), for example, his next plan is to launch a surprise attack, and this surprise attack plan has been delegated to commanders at all levels for implementation.When he said this, he patted Lancelot on the shoulder and said exaggeratedly: "If I hadn't sent someone to rescue you, you would have missed this round of surprise attack. Last time you helped me retrieve a Fate, is this considered a courtesy?"

It was obvious at a glance that he was joking, but even knowing that fact, it still didn't quite ring to Lancelot's ears.He moved his shoulders away from Arthur calmly: "Sorry, what did you just say? I don't remember anyone 'saving' me..." And you don't know what happened to the contact you made with the encirclement Well, he added in his mind.

Arthur withdrew his hand in embarrassment, still maintaining a joking tone and said: "Lancelot, don't do this, people think you are going to take some credit for yourself! By the way, where is the guy who rescued you? ? I also said that I would give him a reward."

Lancelot pursed his lips, and the displeasure quickly rose and expanded in his heart. "Swallow the credit"?He couldn't help but find it very funny, what credit is it for breaking free from the trap?It was a disreputable and disgraceful thing, and Arthur actually thought he would want to "take it all for himself" - even though he knew Arthur might be joking - but the insulting guess, joke or not, was enough constituted an offense to his haughty self-esteem.

"I don't know who you are referring to." Lancelot emphasized his tone, "I think maybe there is no such person at all!"

Arthur gradually put away his unserious expression. "Impossible," he said confidently. "As soon as I crossed the river, I dispatched rescue troops. Gakhris, Kai, and Gao Wen all knew about it. I also arranged for Gakhris to meet you who broke out and rescue you." People, according to our calculations, three days ago should be the date you came out. Although I don’t know why it was delayed, the time and place are about the same as the previous estimate—there can’t be such a coincidence!”

Lancelot carefully recalled the events during the siege several times, and did not remember any contact with friendly forces at all.So he said sarcastically: "Maybe the person you sent to rescue us also knew that I was a person who likes to steal the results of the war, so he didn't inform me of his own existence? What a pity, this unsung hero!"

His words obviously pierced Arthur's authority, and His Majesty's face sank a little. "Are you mocking me?"

Lancelot raised an eyebrow. "You know me too well—it's really in line with my style to take the victory alone?"

Arthur was a little annoyed: "...I was joking! I just want to ask you, where is that person now?"

"How do I know?" The blond knight shrugged indifferently, "In my eyes, there is no such person."

Arthur clicked his tongue hard.Lancelot looked at him coldly, pretending to be nonchalant and asked: "Can I take my leave, Your Majesty?"

Arthur waved his hand irritably, without even looking at him: "Go back to your camp."

The incident ended in this unhappy way, and for several days after that Arthur never saw Lancelot again, nor did he find out what had happened to the man he had sent to rescue him.

It seemed that the battle that allowed Lancelot to escape had caused unexpected damage to Servius. In the next few days, Arthur's attack was not hindered. After five days, the whole army went smoothly. After crossing the river, it is quite different from the previous difficulties.Now that the whole army was assembled by the river, Arthur resolved to begin his surprise attack.This plan was formulated quite carefully, and the goal was directed at Toctria, the base camp of Servius. Arthur hoped to use it to obtain the greatest victory at the smallest cost.

However, from the first day of the surprise attack, problems were encountered.It was clearly a "surprise" attack, but even Arthur couldn't feel its surprise at all. It seemed that the enemy's defenses were particularly tight, no matter which direction he led the army from—they speculated that there would never be a direction where the enemy's troops were heavily defended. ——Attack, you can meet a strong counterattack on the road.This caused Arthur's attack to be almost ineffective, only to pay casualties, and to live up to the expectations of the entire army for this plan.

"How did this happen? There are defenders ambushing every route of our attack—is that Roman general a god?" Even though they never met again, Arthur's distraught complaint spread to the rest of the In the ears of Lancelot who was resting in the camp.

In the next few days, Arthur's attack was still blocked everywhere, and the original plan was useless, so he had to reassess the situation and take one step at a time.It's like a fish swimming into a pond soaked in fishing nets. It doesn't know where the net is, and it doesn't know where the way back to the big river is. Only when the net is tightened and the fishing line is pulled into the scales does it know that something is wrong. — Arthur was the fish.It wasn't until he was surrounded by Servius that he realized that he had fallen into a trap that the other party had prepared.

Servius also got the news somehow, he knew exactly which part was the army led by Arthur, and only surrounded this part.His intention was obvious—and Arthur saw it clearly—that he intended to carry out a decapitation operation, the so-called "capture the thief before capturing the king".The scene seemed a bit similar to that after the Battle of Sharon. A group of enemy troops surrounded Arthur and fought alone. However, Arthur knew that the last time the opponent hacked aimlessly, this time all the knives were pointed at his head.He knew now that he was in dire straits.

At the critical moment, Androme, who was dissatisfied with being "cannon fodder", played a role. The strong mobility of his troops was the most suitable for dividing the front and encircling the encirclement, which was why Arthur placed him ahead of all the troops.The gap opened in Androme was quickly expanded by Kowen who was overtaken, and the Knights gathered all their forces and rushed in with the army.

At the end of November, Arthur resolved the crisis and led the Knights to defeat Servius' army, pushing the front line to a place only a few cities away from Toctria.Servius quickly retreated to defend his base camp. Arthur and the others also needed to rest and wait for the supply line behind to catch up, so the fierce battle temporarily came to an end.

This is a good time to settle old accounts.But Arthur didn't expect that it would be Gao Wen who came to him.The relationship between him and Gao Wen has become very delicate since the end of the Scottish War. It seems that Arthur alienated each other because of some unhappiness, and it also seems that Gao Wen gave in for some reason.At this time, Gao Wen appeared in front of Arthur and brought a familiar person.

Arthur's eyes widened when he saw the man: "This isn't—"

"Yes, Your Majesty, he used to belong to the general you sent to 'rescue' Lancelot, but now he is my prisoner." Gao Wen said in a polite but indifferent manner.

"Why a prisoner?" Arthur said, his eyes moved down to the face of the man, and the man looked away as if he had been stabbed by the gold in his eyes.

Gao Wen said: "According to his account, it was he who cooperated with Servius, killed the chief and turned against him, and then handed over the overall plan of your surprise attack. That's why Servius knew your actions well and caused you harm. Many difficulties."

Arthur froze for a moment, then blurted out: "Then Lancelot—"

"—Lancelot heard that you were blocked repeatedly, and suspected that there was something wrong with the previous 'rescuer', please let me search for his whereabouts. And I found that his army appeared after reaching the area controlled by Servius in the north Gakhris told me that the commander had been in contact with him at a certain frequency before—I think it was probably a secret contact different from the battle report I gave you—but suddenly cut off after a certain day. Combined with Lan As for Sloat, I presume that someone betrayed, and finally this is the result before your eyes." Gao Wen nodded slightly.

Arthur recalled the quarrel between himself and Lancelot before, and couldn't help scolding himself in his heart. At that time, if he asked more questions, he wouldn't be obstructed, besieged, and eventually he would be high-spirited. Wen found out the truth of this matter.But at that time, he was just unhappy that someone challenged his authority—what the hell was I thinking, he thought angrily—is there something wrong with being a king!

Gao Wen seemed to see through his inner thoughts, and chose to interrupt him when his self-criticism was at its most violent: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with him?"

Arthur gritted his teeth. "Treason, death. Thanks for your hard work, Gao Wen." After hastily ordering, he turned around and went straight to Lancelot's camp.

Lancelot didn't seem very surprised to see him coming in such a hurry, Arthur guessed that Gawain had already gotten along with him before.This can't help causing the annoyance in his heart to turn up again. This feeling of the two of them laughing at themselves to die is really...

When he got close, the blond knight saluted and greeted him politely. Arthur said with an indescribable awkwardness: "Lancelot, I'm here to inform you that you are going to take over Androme's job. In the next two days he will You will lead the troops into the rest area one after another, and you will fill in the gaps left by him, and the offensive and defensive tasks are the same."

"Yes," said Lancelot.

"..." Arthur pondered for a while, but couldn't find any particularly good entry point, so he had to admit: "...and an apology. I'm really... sorry for what I said before."

Lancelot looked up at him, and Arthur's slightly guilty expression came into his eyes.His Majesty the King knew that he had made a mistake, so he humbly apologized to himself. It seemed that the choice he had to make was to forgive or not.Just does this choice make sense?He is a king and he is a knight. It is already a great gift for him to condescend to apologize, and if he insists on the king's small mistakes, he will be ignorant of flattery.Lancelot thought as if it had nothing to do with him.

The crux-it's not here at all.He could feel something vaguely seeping into the air between him and Arthur, disintegrating their connection little by little.

Arthur waited for Lancelot's answer, but only heard him ask: "Your Majesty, is General Ravana a student of Merlin?" This was what Lancelot just learned when talking with Gao Wen a few days ago information.

Arthur looked puzzled: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Lancelot nodded politely, expressing his gratitude, while raising the corners of his mouth.He finally connected the ins and outs of the whole story - Ravana's black robe, his flagship Ambrosio, the "someone" he said knew Lancelot's secret well - he It's Merlin's megaphone.And Merlin's opinion is crucial to Arthur at any time.

Just ridiculous, he thought.He pledged his allegiance to Arthur years ago and swore to keep the
