Chapter 685: A Decisive Blow
Xiao Nan's words are actually cruel, meaning that no matter what, he will exploit Artoria to obtain the qualification to win the event.
But it's also a matter of course.
They are competitors.
Artoria's face welled up with anger, and she gripped her sword, almost ready to say the words to the death.
But when I saw Alice Phil's gaze, the words reached my throat, but they seemed to be stuck.
She is a king, a warrior, and naturally she is not afraid of death when she steps on the battlefield, but Alice Phil is different, not that she does not have the consciousness of dying in battle, but that the responsibility on her shoulders is too heavy.
Although she knew that as long as she spoke, Alice Phil would definitely accompany her.
But it's because I understand that I can't say it.
There was never a time when Artoria was as aware of her change as she is now.
If it was her before, there would definitely be no hesitation at this time, even if doing so would cause Alice Phil to die, her badge would be snatched away, her husband would be difficult to resurrect, and her daughter would be displaced, there would be no hesitation.
For this is what Artoria used to think of as a king, a just, eternally victorious, infallible king.
But now......
Artoria suddenly remembered a sentence she had seen from somewhere, that the first thing a person must learn to grow up is to admit failure.
Then he thought of what his knight had said about himβthe king did not understand the human heart.
Really...... It is not the king's duty to pay a huge price for a victory that is not necessary, even to sacrifice everything that is believed in him, and in the past she was because she pursued victory too much, and disregarded the wishes of the rest for the sake of victory, which led to the rebellion of her subordinates and the destruction of the kingdom...... This is the answer that modern knowledge gives her.
Artoria stared at Nan in silence.
Finally, he exhaled slowly.
She had made up her mind to change.
"I ...... Those who are willing to give up are eligible to win the event. She struggled to spit out the words, and at that moment, the badge she had placed on her chest flashed with a scorching glow, as if acknowledged.
A smile appeared on Xiao Nan's face.
"In that case, we're no longer competitors, and I'm not going to make any more moves against Alice Phil, what's the matter, do you want to help me?"
"If you want me to help you, beat me." Artoria raised the long sword in her hand, but her battle intent was aimed at Xiao Nan.
Her face was filled with anger and humiliation that would never be removed.
As a knight, it is really humiliating to surrender without a fight.
Even for the sake of Alice Phil and for the sake of her own people, Artoria was extremely uncomfortable.
"Is the target me?" Xiao Nan glanced at the two ceremonies.
The two ceremonies were silent for a moment, then put away the long knife in their hands.
"It doesn't matter." She said, "I don't want to kill Artoria now. β
She had no intention of killing Artoria in the first place, she just wanted to fulfill her heart that was willing to fight to the death for glory, but since Artoria had made a compromise, she didn't want to fight either.
"That's good." Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at Artoria, "I am alone with you, which is actually an unnecessary risk, because you have already given up your qualifications, and the only qualified person on our side is me...... However, it's okay to do something stupid that is contrary to your interests once in a while......"
"Knight King, Artoria!"
Artoria indifferently announced her name, but her fighting spirit was almost unbearable.
Xiao Nan sighed in his heart, and gradually entered the state.
Xu Ruo's single-handedness was said by her, the purpose has been achieved, even if she evacuates at this time, there is no loss, but when her companion is by her side, she doesn't want to do this kind of backsliding...... She doesn't care, but she can't let her companions be despised with her, and her current companions are not despicable and shameless people.
Therefore, this battle must not only be fought, but also won!
The two ceremonies, Aozaki Orange, and Alice Phil and the others stepped back.
The people who were watching the battle did not hear the discussion just now, but looking at this posture, they also understood that the two sides had made a negotiation, and finally chose the king against the king and the general heads-up.
This kind of scene makes people's blood boil.
The sound of cheering and shouting sounded again.
And the points of light that were constantly gathering around Artoria were even denser at this time.
"Home field advantage?" Xiao Nan was extremely cautious and did not dare to make the slightest support.
Even if Artoria gives up the event victory, if she is killed at this time, then her event will also be declared a failure, and she will return to the past with nothing.
"Drink!"
Artoria let out a loud shout, and a dense attack like a light cannon slashed through the sky, blasting towards Xiao Nan, this is not a treasure, but a similar skill.
The light cannon bombarded Xiao Nan's body without hindrance.
Completely annihilate Xiao Nan.
But it's just a doppelganger.
"I'm a ninja and my profession is ranged, so don't think I'm going to fight you head-on in the open." Xiao Nan's voice came out from all directions.
"It's not just knightly combat that has glory, I'm not going to be pedantic to that extent." Artoria looked around warily, "I approve of your profession and fighting style, so use whatever you want." β
"Then you're welcome."
Xiao Nan's tone seemed relaxed, but it was only a deliberate performance to put pressure on the enemy.
In an instant, one after another runes hidden in the void appeared, blooming with golden light.
Golden Light Slash, this is the most number of talismans that Xiao Nan has, because just ordinary paper can be made, and the power can be stacked, it is an excellent substitute for explosive talismans.
At this moment, Xiao Nan took out all his golden light slashes.
That's right, all!
Judging from the battle just now, the opponent's profession doesn't seem to be so weird, and she also knows a little about the profession of the knight series, so let's go all out from the beginning!
She even buried a large number of other talismans in the Golden Light Slash, especially the Sky Splitting Talisman.
The whole world was covered with golden light.
Artoria's heart was ringing.
"If you can resist this blow, then I'll just surrender." Xiao Nan was still using words to put pressure on the other party, "Or you can surrender now, if you die, you can only be resurrected after the event is over, and during this time, the country may be in chaos." β
"If I die in battle, Alice Phil will temporarily protect the kingdom for me until I am resurrected!" Artoria's voice reached far away, to the ears of all the spectators.
She explained that she was able to be resurrected.
also explained what happened after his death.
So, there is no consideration.
This is the decisive blow.
