Chapter 278: I'm here to get justice!
"Your Majesty, Lord Weigong."
Seeing our arrival, the soldiers bowed their heads and saluted.
"Forward, everyone, conquer the Saxon capital today and show the will of our Britain!"
With a wave of her arm, the girl led the mighty army into it.
The resistance in the Saxon capital was already extremely weak, and most of them, except for a few diehards, surrendered.
After collecting the weapons of the surrendered soldiers, we did not harm them, but continued towards the center of the royal capital.
It is well known that the territory of the Saxons is relatively cold and barren, but the location of the royal capital is relatively the warmest and most livable location.
Therefore, the population of the royal capital is also the largest.
At first glance, the line of houses is everywhere.
Although there is no comparison to the prosperity of Camelot, it can be regarded as extremely popular and lively.
The news of the loss of the royal capital had apparently reached the ears of every Saxon inhabitant.
Saxon civilians with complicated expressions walked out of their homes one after another to look at the advancing British army.
Their eyes are filled with sadness, anger, sadness, and all kinds of indescribable feelings.
Your home is about to be taken over, and I'm afraid that no one will be able to keep calm.
"My king, what are you going to do with these civilians?"
A knight stepped forward and asked very respectfully.
"And ask the king what to do, how those Saxon bastards treated us British people in the first place, just give them back as they are!"
Before the knight could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another companion beside him.
"That is, there is never a mistake in paying blood debts and blood, and blood can only be repaid with blood!"
"Look at the houses where the residents live! The wood and the paint are clearly our Britannic stuff! They shamelessly robbed us of our resources and used them as if they had nothing to do! ”
"Tear down their houses and kill all the Saxons!"
For a while, from knights to soldiers, everyone's eyes carried crazy colors.
It's as if if someone gives an order, they will not hesitate to turn into a demon and turn this place into hell!
"Shut up! What is the difference between you and the Saxons who invaded Britain in the first place! ”
The girl frowned and shouted.
"Ah......h
When many British soldiers heard this, their eyes cleared up a lot.
"Listen to me, what the Saxons did to Britain will always be remembered, but that does not mean that we should fight violence with violence. If we do that, it has nothing to do with our physical body, and our spirit has already surrendered to the other person, right? Sighing, I stepped forward to take the girl's words, "The war is over, and no one can shed blood for it." Peace is precious, and only then will our descendants not repeat today's sorrows. ”
The soldiers looked at each other, then bowed their heads in shame.
"Emiya-sama, you're right. There can be no more bloodshed. ”
"I was somehow lost in hatred just now...... It's so offended......"
"I'm sorry...... I will never say that again. ”
I was also relieved to see that the anger of the soldiers had finally been quelled.
Fortunately, there are many years of chivalry influence, and the Britons are also honorable and can be reasoned with.
Otherwise, if the soldiers of the whole country were to kill the civilians at all costs, it would be almost impossible for me to stop them.
However, although the British army stopped thinking of harming the people, the Saxon civilians around us still looked at us with distrust.
It is no wonder that in the past, when cities were captured, ordinary people were the first to suffer. And the army commanders, in order to reward the soldiers who were born and died, generally acquiesced to them to burn, kill, loot and indulge in the city.
These civilians did not attack us in the first place, already out of respect for the Knight King's reputation for holiness and integrity.
But if nothing changes, the two sides will be stuck here and unable to talk.
"Shirou, leave it to me."
Ios stepped up and smiled at me.
"You...... Can it really be? Although you used to be a Saxon prince, after all, so many years have passed, and whether the people recognize you or not is a matter of two opinions. I looked at him with some concern, "In case they try to hurt you......"
"Don't worry, even if the Saxons don't approve of me, they must recognize the power of fire in me." Ios shook his head and signaled to me to reassure, "The power of the flame is a representation of the gods in the eyes of the Saxons. ”
"Okay, then you can give it a try, and remember to be careful."
Since there was really no better way, I had no choice but to agree with Ios's idea.
If the Saxons could recognize his status as princes, then they could remove their guards, and this would indeed be the best outcome.
But if it doesn't work, you have to find another way.
Ios nodded, then took a few steps forward, exposing his body to the gaze of all Saxon civilians.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ios, the adopted son of the first Saxon kings, the rightful heir to the throne!"
Glancing around the civilians, Ios said loudly.
"Boom!"
Ios's words fell, and they immediately caused a wave of consternation among the civilians.
"Hey, did you hear that, he said he was the third prince!"
"How is it possible, the third prince died ten years ago, and even his body was charred!"
"Hmph, it must be the Britons who pretended to launch an imposter in order to control people's hearts!"
The civilians were talking, but their eyes were full of suspicion.
Over the years, the Saxon king, the nominal brother of Ios, has also instilled in the people the lie that Ios is dead, in order to consolidate his rule.
Therefore, they could not accept the existence of Ios for a while.
"I repeat, I'm Ios, the former third prince of the Saxons, and the current heir to the throne!"
Ios's face turned grim, and an overwhelming flame suddenly rose from the soles of his feet, instantly covering his entire body.
"That'...... That's the power of fire! It was because of this power that Prince Ios was chosen as his successor! ”
"Oh my God, is he really His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"Have we all been lied to after all these years?!"
The flames shone in the eyes of the civilians and shook their hearts.
"Back then, my throne was taken away by my brother using trickery, so now I'm here to get back everything I deserve!" Ios said loudly, facing tens of thousands of eyes without stage fright, "The knight king behind me and the British army are all with me to seek justice!" ”
