I, the sword in the stone, want to take the knight king

: The blood of every king must end with a sword

This is another question that tests morality and conscience:

“The Saxons who were not met on the battlefield, are they still enemies of the Holy Kingdom of Britain after all?”

Artoria thought about it, and thought it was probably worth it.

After all, the criterion for judging an “enemy” is based on the hostility of both parties.

Judging from the current situation, these Saxons are very vigilant against their “rescue teams”.

Under such circumstances, even if Artoria took the initiative to send troops to kill them, no one would say anything.

Even, the soldiers under her hands are already gearing up, eagerly waiting for the king’s order.

But, the problem now is again.

In this advance force, besides those soldiers, there is another group of special people.

Their status is low, but they are numerous.

And undertake the most difficult and dangerous work in the rescue mission.

——Since Holy Britain established a system similar to “Military Merit Rewards”, these Saxons have been rushing to the forefront of the kingdom.

And now.

They were fighting hard to gain freedom, and they were looking at those half-dead compatriots paralyzed in the village with very complicated eyes.

They don’t know whether to save them or not.

Saying that they shouldn’t be rescued… They are of the same race, so they should help each other.

But if they are saved…according to the latest regulations of the kingdom, these rescued Saxons will join the Holy Kingdom of Britain as free citizens.

This is an absurd and even funny thing.

Obviously they are still slaves – how can these people who are waiting to die be one step ahead of them and become free people?

Arturia obviously also considered this.

So, after a while, she gave the king’s order to the slave army composed of Saxons:

“This is war.”

“Catch them alive.”

“Battle exploits are equivalent to killing an enemy.”

…

For Artoria, killing a Saxon tribe during the rescue was just a small episode.

After all, from the beginning to the end, her eyes were not on these aliens.

But at the same time, it is undeniable that.

This approach of hers really helped her establish a high prestige in the hearts of those Saxon slave soldiers.

Awe-inspiring and virtuous—with such means, he already has the appearance of a real king.

“Ding.”

“Your prestige +50; the Saxon’s reputation for you is increased to: Respect”

This is the voice from Char.

Being lazy while hiding in the Sword in the Stone, he would never miss any chance to have fun with Artoria.

But the current Artoria is not in the mood to make fun with Xia here.

“Not far away, we should be able to reach the main city of the Devi Kingdom.”

She looked at the markers on the map and frowned slightly.

The area of ​​the Devi Kingdom is not large, but it is the closest country to the Holy Kingdom of Britain.

Its king, whom Arturia had also met, was a middle-aged man in his forties.

He is fat, not as heroic as King Bolinuo or King Liao Dekuan, and he doesn’t look like a warlord.

However, under his rule, no major disasters occurred in the Devi Kingdom.

Arturia knew very well that he was a well-behaved king.

Not very good, but definitely not bad either.

And the reason why he opposed himself and participated in the activities of “commercial sanctions” was also because he was bewitched by several other big countries.

Or rather, coercion.

——After all, in such a troubled world. A small country like the Devi Kingdom simply has no right to choose its own path forward.

“So, are you going to save him?”

Xia Ya asked guessing.

After being with Artoria for so long, he could easily guess what Arturia was thinking.

He could even guess what Artoria would do in order to realize this idea.

“You want to use absolute force to break down the city’s walls first, and then promise him an official position to win people’s hearts?”

That sounds like a good idea.

Even Xia himself thought so.

After all, the foundation of the current Holy Kingdom of Britain is too shallow, and there are not so many officials to maintain a rapidly expanding kingdom.

In this case, using bureaucrats from other kingdoms has become a solution that must be considered.

For example, the king of the Devi kingdom.

He can maintain a small country and maintain his dignity as a king in the face of the attack of the big powers and the invasion of the Saxons, which is enough to prove that he is a good manager.

For a person like him, Artoria can completely promise him the position of city lord. Let him continue to sit in the Devi Kingdom, which will soon become the Holy British Kingdom Devi County.

From king to city lord, what he lost was nothing more than the dominance of the army and a title that could be passed on from generation to generation.

After all, the current Artoria is acting with the idea of ​​”unifying” the British Isles.

Since then, except for Pandoragon. There will be no second royal family on this island.

And now, let’s be honest.

Even Xiaya thinks that this is already the best condition they can offer within the scope of the conditions.

and, he also had reason to think.

The weed king, who always likes to follow the wind, will definitely agree to this generous condition.

However, what Xia Ya did not expect was.

When the soldiers of the Holy British Kingdom really boarded the walls of the Devi Kingdom and broke into the palace of the Devi Kingdom.

The bloated king was not what he and Artoria expected. Choose a way to survive for yourself and your family.

Instead, he told Artoria the truth in a very tragic way:

“Daughter of the Pandoragon family.”

“You have to understand.”

“I am also the king.”

A king has the pride of a king.

For the survival of the country, he can bow his head to other kings and make compromises.

But if the country is gone.

As a king, he naturally has no need to exist.

“Pfft—”

The holy sword, which symbolizes royal power, is stained with the blood of the king.

This is an ominous sign.

Also activates the beginning of a brutal quest.

“Ding, congratulations on triggering the hidden mission: King’s Blood”

“Quest Requirement: Kill Ten Kings (1/10)”

“Task Reward: Divine Soldier Value*100000”

“Task time: unlimited.”

“The blood of every king must end with the sword.” Shan.
