Chapter 65: Sacrifice
The golden light whistled by, carving a huge ravine in the winding mountain road. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With a wave of Saber's arm, the Wind King's enchantment shrouded the Broken Steel Sword again, obscuring the golden blade.
The light cleared, and only Sakura and Webb stood blankly on top of the chariot.
The Hero and the King of Conquest are gone.
Saber frowned, the attack didn't have the desired effect. No matter how fast the Berserker was, he couldn't escape the range of the Victory of the Oath just now, and even the King of Conquest disappeared with him......
"Did you hide in the inherent barrier?" Saber thought for a moment and said, "But it takes a lot of magic to maintain the barrier, how long can you hide?"
What's more, the master of those two is right in front of you.
Saber's gaze swept over, and Sakura and Webber stepped back in unison.
Facing the Heroic Spirits, and being one of the best among the Heroic Spirits, the pressure is beyond imagination.
The two of them were able to maintain their composure, and they were already ahead of most people.
Suddenly, the space in front of him fluctuated, and a "man" in armor appeared beside Webb.
"I am one of the king's subordinates, Mithrines, a herald in the army, who brought the king's command. ”
Webber grabbed the straw as if he had fallen into the water, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is that guy doing, why did he suddenly open the inherent barrier? Even if he wants to join forces with Berserker to retreat from the enemy, Saber is still outside." ”
"The latest news is hereby that the alliance between the king and Berserker has been dissolved, and he is now leading his army to fight Berserker in the inherent enchantment!"
"What?!"
The three people present were all taken aback by the news, and Webb grabbed each other's arms and said, "What the hell is going on? Why do you suddenly want to dissolve the alliance, that guy shouldn't be so stupid!"
Sakura is the one who knows Eiraku's inherent skills best, and she was thoughtful when she heard the news. Could it be that the other party is doing this to make an opponent for Lord Yingluo?" she shook her head, never daring to assert.
Maybe it's just a shameless betrayal.
Mithrines gently broke free of Weber's hand: "The king's will does not need to be understood, just carried out." Since he has launched an attack, we just have to follow him! As a herald, I am only telling you this news, and I am not obliged to answer for you!"
"You're ......!"
Ignoring the angry Weber, Mitrines turned his gaze to Saber.
"Your Excellency must be the Knight King that the king said, right?"
Saber raised an eyebrow, "Yes, I'm the Knight King, Arthur Pendragon!"
"It's rude, although it's not from the same era, but let me pay the highest respect to the king on behalf of the expeditionary force!" Mitrines bowed.
Saber bowed slightly: "At this moment, the armor is on the body, and it is not the government hall of the kingdom, so the etiquette is simple." ”
"Yes!" Mitrines straightened up and said calmly, "though they are hostile, let me convey the king's will before I die." ”
"If the two armies are at war, you can just say anything!" Saber is the head of a country after all, and he is not too embarrassed to embarrass a herald.
Maybe even she didn't realize that she was getting the scabbard more and more majestic. If she was the Knight King at the beginning of the Holy Grail War, then now she has turned back into King Arthur, who has won a hundred battles.
Mithrines bowed and said, "The king apologizes for interfering in your battle, but as a gift of reparation, he will settle the enemy for you." ”
"What a faux pas," said Saber coldly, "Is this king a weak man who depends on others for victory?
"All is according to your will!" replied Mithrines without fear, "and this is what the king said. ”
"Hmph, do you think I'm helpless to hide in the inherent barrier?" Saber turned his head and looked at Sakura and Webber, "But his biggest mistake was that he didn't pull the Master in together, and now I can easily solve two strong enemies as long as I kill both of them." Or does he think you can stop me?"
"No, although I am slightly confident in martial arts, I am not your opponent yet. Mithrines bowed his head and continued: "The king said that you are a knight of honor, and that you will win the victory with dignity, and you will not make such a despicable act. That's why he can rest assured that the Master will remain in the present world. ”
"Oh, that's a nice thing to say, but is it really the King of Conquest who said it, according to my imagination, he should have said, 'That guy won't do anything to the Master, because she's a dead-headed knight king'!"
Mitrines was silent.
Saber snorted, "Did you guess right? How lucky is he to have a subordinate like you? ”
"Allow me to refuse. Mithrines bowed and said, "A true warrior will be loyal to only one man, and I will be my king's loyal dog forever." ”
Sure enough, it was rejected. Saber didn't get angry, but showed an appreciative look: "Although I had already guessed the result, I couldn't help but open my mouth to solicit." Maintain your loyalty, herald, it is the most precious treasure in the world!"
"Yes, thank you for the compliment. So...... Did you agree to a temporary truce?"
"If you don't have an enemy, you can't even fight if you want to, right? Inherent barriers aren't so easy to break!" Saber closed his eyes and placed his Broken Steel Sword on the ground, his hands folded on the hilt, "I won't strike until the King of Conquest and Berserker decide the winner!"
"Thank you so much!"
"But be careful, this is my advice for the same king!" said Saber, "Berserker is not easy to deal with, she seems to have been born unbound by the rules. Those who have overthrown the throne throughout the ages have always been such brave men. Even if it is hostile, the dignity of the king cannot be violated, and I don't want to see the fall of the king!"
"Rest assured, the expeditionary force will risk their lives to protect our king!"
"That's good!" said Saber.
All that's left is to wait.
……
"What is a king?" said young Iskandar to his father.
His father picked him up and replied with a smile, "The king is honor, duty, and greatness!"
Iskandar's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Then I will also become a king, and the whole world will be subject to my rule!"
"Very well, if that's your will, then do it. ”
Alexander, the king of conquest, opened his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Father, you have hurt me. ”
The king is not only a glory, a duty, a greatness, but also a bondage!
While gaining power, he was also firmly bound to the throne.
The larger the territory, the stronger the chains that wrap around the body.
The more people there are, the more complex the expectations that need to be responded to.
Even as a king, he had to compromise at some point.
What he didn't expect was that he was bound by the throne during his lifetime, and he would continue to be the king under the control of the Holy Grail after his death.
Not only him, but even his comrades-in-arms were turned into immortal spirits, trapped in this false space forever.
The inherent enchantment is the embodiment of the heart, but the heart of this king is not so narrow!
Alexander stood up, his sword piercing his waist and gurgling blood, but he didn't realize it, and instead rolled over his horse in laughter.
"Haha, this is the happiest defeat this king has ever fought! Boys, rush forward! The king is with you, never stop you!"
"My king, my king, my king!"
The army let out an earth-shattering cry again, stepping on the mud mixed with blood and dirt, and rushed towards the peak ahead.
This is not a battle, but a sacrifice.
Sacrifice for freedom.
So even if you die, you have no regrets!
