Chapter 219: Radical General (Battle of the Contract)
Under the sudden change, the sergeants on both sides of the confrontation showed confused expressions and looked at each other.
"Jaylander, who told you to meddle in a duel? I've already won! β
Arthur's angry accusation was met with Lancelot's ridicule. He looked at Arthur from afar, his eyes full of contempt and contempt.
"yes. You win. Even the blind can see it. That's why I made a move! If I heard me right, you just wanted to let them go unharmed, right?
Tut-tut...... What a dimwitted king. Isn't it a cocoon to let those hidden dangers leave? It's naΓ―ve and stupid. β
"You're going to betray me too? Have you forgotten your oath of loyalty to the king? β
What Arthur didn't expect was that after hearing her question, Jaylander's face became more sarcastic, and his laughter gradually changed from a low laugh to a wild laugh.
"Hmph, hehe, hehehe, hahahaha. King? Do you deserve it? Allegiance? Are you worthy of my loyalty? β
If everyone didn't understand Jaylander's intentions before, as soon as his words came out, even fools understood the other party's objection.
However, before they could charge and tear apart the laughing enemies in the field, they were struck by another bombshell news.
"Why are you king? Just because you married Gwynna? Just as a woman? β
Seeing Arthur's face change wildly, Jayland continued to taunt mercilessly.
"What's wrong? You think you're perfectly disguised?
Do you think that no one but Queen Gwena knows about your disguise as a man and deceiving the kingdom?
I should sit on the throne and become the king of Celts instead of you, who deceived others into ascending to the throne by lying to others! β
The crowd who had just been shocked by the news of Arthur's disguise as a man couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard Jaylander's words.
"Another madman? All traitors feel that they should sit on the throne and become the king of Celts. β
Before the surrounding generals could make their own mockery, Geyland turned abruptly and raised a knight's sword inlaid with gold and silver, with the dragon's mark on its body.
"Look what this is? Whether it is bloodline or name, I am the rightful heir of the Celtic kingdom, and I am the king who should sit on the throne and be respectfully worshiped by you! β
There were still some well-informed people in the audience. They were startled when they saw the knight's sword in Jaylander's hand, and then shouted in disbelief after taking a closer look.
"It's ...... The sword of power of the royal dragon family? It should be true, I saw the illustrated book when I was studying the coats of arms of the nobles. β
"Impossible, the sword of power, which symbolizes royal power, has been lost for many years. Even the previous old king couldn't tell the specifics! β
"I heard it was Queen Gwynna's father, Prince William, who died young, who had been lost in his early years while defending against the Dornish. Will it be ......?"
While everyone was still speculating, an untimely shout came.
"Don't be fooled, everyone. What if the sword was real? It may have been found by chance. Is a sword alone like a legitimate succession to the throne? Don't be delusional. β
After this rebuke came out, almost all the ambiguous people accepted this statement, and they all angrily scolded Jaylander's shamelessness and sided with Arthur.
It was also at this time that a man who did not expect everyone arrived from the royal capital with a small group of people carrying the young prince.
"His Highness Jayland is not lying. He was indeed the eldest son of the old king; The child that Prince Charles gave birth to with the noble lady of the Tulip family outside. Theoretically, Princess Gwynna is the sister of Her Royal Highness Jayland.
Not only the sword of power he left to His Highness, but also the letters between the two of them, which bear his characteristic coat of arms. β
It was none other than Cohen. It is precisely because Cohen has always been a staunch royalist and loyal to Queen Gwenna at all times that it is all the more convincing when everyone sees him holding up the letter and loudly defending the culprit who killed the queen.
"Even so? The old king chose Arthur. He, Geland, is still a man who betrays his oath and slashes his sister! Will you make him king? β
It's still the one who first scolded Jaylander before. The Tulip family general seemed to be very loyal to Lancelot, and his gaze at Jayland burned like a fire, full of hatred.
He wanted to say something more, but suddenly he felt like the sky was spinning. After a violent shock, he seemed to realize something when he looked at the familiar headless figure, and at his former colleague with a blood-stained sword in his hand behind him.
Darkness struck, and a human head with a puzzled expression fell to the ground. There was silence for a while.
And it was at this time that Jayland took over a little boy dressed gorgeously and with tears on his face from Cohen's secret guards.
Grabbing the back of the boy's neck with one hand, ignoring his cries and struggles, Jayland looked around for a week before speaking indifferently.
"My identity has been verified. Next is the 'heir' of the kingdom, the 'prince' of Morred. β
In a tone full of irony, Jayland reached into the collar of little Morred with his other hand, and then pulled it hard, and immediately ripped off a ruby necklace.
"Look at his hair color and his eyes! As long as you have a little knowledge of each family tree, you can find that this is a typical Tulip family. β
As he spoke, the little Morred he was holding in his hand became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a color between pale gold and beige, and his turquoise pupils turned a deep blue.
"This ......"
"Don't you see it yet? This is not your king's child. He was born to Lancelot and Gwynna. How could King Arthur, as a woman, have children with Gwyna? Am I right? Arthur, 'King of the Celts'. β
In the face of Jaylander's question, Arthur, whose secrets had been exposed in public for many years, stood on the spot.
At this time, she only felt cold hands and feet, and the countless eyes around her were full of anger and contempt for the liar.
"I ...... I...... I ......"
Jayland pointed to Arthur, who was speechless for a while, and his expression and body movements were very stiff, and yelled at him.
"Look at her reaction. I was right. This is the face of the liar after the lie is exposed. Who will follow me now and take the throne that is rightfully mine? β
Hearing Jaylander's roar, a deafening shout rang out. Not only the Red Dragon Legion, but most of the army originally led by Lancelot responded to Jayland's call.
"Kill her, the liar who stole the throne"
"Kill the fraudsters and restore orthodoxy."
"Kill Arthur and serve His Highness as king."
β¦β¦
For a while, the shouts of the two legions came and went, and gradually more and more people responded. Soon, there were fewer and fewer people who remained silent, and eventually only a few dozen people remained.
