That day, the king stepped down from his throne.

— A History of the Knights of the Round Table, anonymous.

This place is not like a hall in a castle. It is surrounded by walls made of brown stones. The highest place is the high-backed chair that Arthur used to discuss military matters with people on weekdays. The chair is covered with red curtains.All the knights were called into this much larger hall than usual. They looked at each other, and many of them were whispering, some not knowing why.

In the center are those who are among the top heroes in terms of force and merit, Gawain with pale blond hair, Kay who is calm and calm, Bedivere with one arm, gallant Gachris and Boss, and others. There is Ulphès in a hurry.Because Lancelot was provoked, he defeated more than a dozen knights in a row, so he also occupied one of them.

"What is your Majesty calling us here for?" Bedivere asked Lancelot beside him.He's been working on his new "arm" lately.Arthur had begged Merlin for him long after he had achieved the credit, asking the wizard to shape a new arm for him, and some of the materials took him a lot of work—fortunately, this surprise is about to Recently completed.So at this time, it was the time when Bedivere's heart was the most surging.

Lancelot smiled: "Sorry, I don't know either."

He looked at the only empty chair beside the round table, which was facing the throne.There was a faint guess in his heart, and this guess made him feel unbelievable and surprised.But soon, his mood calmed down.Because it was Arthur who made this matter, and it is not inconceivable that Arthur made such a decision.

What he was more concerned about was that sitting beside that chair were Gawain who had just finished the mission with him, and Kai with dim eyes.He lowered his head slightly, the smile on his lips remained unchanged.

The fire suddenly lit up, and Merlin and Arthur walked over from the other side of the passage together.Their steps are very calm and powerful.When they came into everyone's sight, Merlin waved his sleeve first.Everyone felt like shaking for a moment, and then, more and more torches lit up around them.

"Everyone," Merlin said loudly, "you are the heroes of this world, the most mighty warriors who have sworn to dedicate their loyalty and lives to the king. It is His Majesty's will to gather you here today. .Your Majesty ordered me to create such a round table in order to fulfill the promise I made to each of you..."

"Everyone," Arthur took a deep breath, his golden hair hanging softly from his ears, his blue eyes swept over everyone present, and everyone felt that he was focusing on himself For a moment.He took a step forward, with the cloak flying behind him: "I swore to share my glory as a king with you..."

Everyone is quietly listening.

"But what exactly is glory is something that is difficult to define." Arthur stood upright, and no one could be taller than him at the moment: "Perhaps you think that the status and rewards I once bestowed are this Part of the glory. But it's not."

"Those are the things you deserve," Arthur's clear and pure voice echoed in such a space: "You have defeated the enemy and expanded the territory for this kingdom, each of you has proved yourself, You have proved your ability and sincerity, those wealth and fame are bestowed on you by the country and the people. Each of you, without a doubt, is a hero belonging to the kingdom!"

The fire made everyone's cheeks red. They seemed to have a lot to say, but in order not to disturb Arthur, no one made a sound.

"I once told Gawain," Arthur looked at the knight closest to him, and said with a smile in his eyes, "as long as he can bring peace and stability to this country, 'I will be willing to share my achievements with him. The glory of the king, he will be equal to me, all my territory and wealth, and where my name will be in the future, his deeds will be engraved together!'”

Gao Wen hurriedly stood up from the seat, he stroked his chest and said, "Your grace!"

"But I haven't done enough!" Arthur said awe-inspiringly: "It's not that I said this, even if I really fulfilled my promise, 'he will be equal to me', you will be equal to me, not just It is a light and fluffy sentence, and it is estimated that no one will care if such words are passed down to future generations."

Gawain looked at him with shining eyes, he remembered what he heard that night, and was deeply moved in his heart.

"So I want to create this 'Knights of the Round Table' today." Arthur opened his hands, and he looked solemn, not in vain: "I will sit with you on this round table, each of you can Speak freely at this round table. There will be no distinction of status at this round table, you will all be my brothers, and I will treat everyone with the friendship between brothers."

"King Arthur is no longer just King Arthur, he also belongs to the 'Knights of the Round Table'," Arthur said with a bright light in his eyes, "I will fight with you, for all the justice and justice in the world, I will fight with you Let's fight together, for the eternal pure and endless hope. We will swear to be kind to the weak and not start wars for self-interest. We will also support each other, and regard the life of every brother as important as our own."

Arthur stretched out his hand, and there was expectation in his voice: "Would you all take an oath to go forward with me?"

No one can not be shocked by what he said.Gao Wen knelt down immediately: "Everything will be as you wish."

Everyone reacted, some were horrified, some were shaken, some were in a trance... They all deeply felt that King Arthur, who agreed to share the glory of the king, was already the unique monarch of this era, but no one could imagine it. , he was able to do this to the extent that he didn't just talk about it, but actually fulfilled his promise to all of them.

Lancelot pulled the chair away, and he lowered his head deeply, letting his palms rest on his chest, and said word by word: "I will abide by the oath!"

One after another knights bowed their heads in front of Arthur.

"Thanks for your love!" Bedivere's eyes sparkled.

"My glory!" The darkness in Kai's eyes seemed to be dispelled in an instant.

"Your glory is unmatched!" This was Mephate whose eyes were so frenzied that they were about to explode.

"How lucky!" Gakhris is a young man who has just grown up, and there are still fine hairs on his lips that have not faded. Now this young man is looking at Arthur, as if he saw something that came out of history. holy king.In his eyes, the King Arthur in front of him has been rendered brightly.

"And me!" Boss, who was a step behind, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I, I, I will die for you!"

All the knights responded to their oath in front of Arthur, and the room was filled with turbulent emotions. Finally, Arthur looked at Merlin, the legendary wizard who seemed to be about to merge into the omnipresent darkness and bowed lightly. Turning around, he looked at Arthur with a smile: "My promise will never change."

Arthur smiled and took a step back. He bent his waist for the first time: "Thank you for your trust."

Then, they took their seats.Merlin's eyes fell on the round table made by himself. As he expected, after the sacred "oath" was finally concluded, this ordinary table, which was originally ordinary, has been transformed into this The most top secret treasure in the world.

He is at the same level as the "Gurneyvere" who refused to leave, and the "Sword in the Stone" that has not completely transformed, and, with the increase of achievements and the promotion of the reputation of the Knights, It will also continue to improve, and one day, it will reach an even more terrifying level...

If Vivienne knew about this scene, she would definitely feel inexplicable regret for her mistake that day, right?A faint smile appeared on Merlin's lips.

He did not guess wrong. The establishment of the "Knights of the Round Table" shocked everyone who heard about it. Now no one dares to laugh at Arthur anymore. If he was ridiculed by other kings before, now he can only be awe-inspiring and obeyed. .

He has done what others cannot, and any more slander will only show his own narrowness and stupidity.And his own strength is enough to make some jealous people keep their mouths shut.What's more, they don't have the energy and time to be afraid of King Arthur. They even hope that King Arthur will be stronger than before... The closer the people to the north, the more they think so.

For yet another country has been devastated at the hands of the Saxons.The king sent knights to stand against the giant, but he ran away with gold and silver in the next moment. Unfortunately, his luck was not very good. When he was about to escape successfully, he was recognized by a man wearing a golden mask. Then, howling in misery, he was mercilessly dragged over by several thick and tall warriors.

Originally, the masked man wanted to ask some questions, but the king really didn’t live up to it. In front of the obviously Saxon leader, he trembled with fear and couldn’t utter a single word. In the end, he was so frightened that he peed his pants... …The masked man was disgusted, and his head was cut off immediately.

The king's body was hung on a high pole in this way. His familiar clothes and head separated from the body made everyone's hopes disappear. The Saxons occupied this country in a much shorter time than the previous country. piece of land.

Their incomparably fierce aggression and brutal massacres everywhere frightened everyone who knew about it. Those kings who had escaped from Arthur before delivered them to Arthur one after another. Made a book.In the letter, they sincerely apologized for their previous offenses, and hoped to get Arthur's help, and even some letters of surrender were sent directly to express their surrender.

They are willing to honor Arthur as king.I just hope he can save this Celtic land.
