Chapter 136: The Knight King's Royal Road
"Or something like that, Berserker-like Heroic Spirit?" Hearing Iskandar say this, I also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Yes, only the world itself can do such a thing as inflicting a state of madness on a true Heroic Spirit, and a Heroic Spirit who is treated like this will instantly turn into a pure killing machine, which is extremely difficult to deal with. Alayya is planning to wipe us out completely. Iskandar sighed.
As Iskandar said, Darius III in his frenzied state is like a liberated beast, with an unstoppable rage and wildness all over his body!
"In that case, we gather all our strength and hope to ......"
Looking at the British and Macedonian soldiers who were retreating under the flood of skeletal soldiers, I hurriedly said.
"No, little ghost. This matter started because of this king, so it is better to leave it to this king to settle it. β
Iskander raised his hand and waved his sword, and the thunderbolt of thunder and lightning flashed at his feet again!
Iskandar couldn't help but say, driving two mighty bulls to rush to the front of the battle to supervise the battle.
But at this timeβ
"Whew-"
A sword light that shimmered with golden light burst through the air, leaving a deep mark on the ground in front of the "Wheel of Kamui"!
"What do you mean, Knight King? Are you planning to go to war with this king again? β
Iskandar said without looking back, but the overlord-like aura emanated from his body unignorantly, emitting a powerful sense of oppression.
βββοΌβ
Looking at the blonde girl next to me, who was still in a sword-wielding posture, I also felt doubts in my heart.
"King of Conquest, please step aside. These skeletal soldiers are all warriors who have shed their blood for justice and glory in the land of our Britannia. So please give me the opportunity to give them rest. β
The girl's clear blue eyes stared motionlessly at the battlefield ahead, her tone calm and polite, but it contained unchangeable firmness.
Iskandar and I looked at each other, both stunned.
However, it is impossible for Darius III to summon the skeleton soldiers from the ground out of thin air, and those bones must have been buried deep under the ground of the battlefield earlier.
In this way, they must be those battlefield ghosts who unfortunately died a few years ago!
"I see. This king was a little strange just now, why these skeleton soldiers are basically cavalry, it turns out that they are your former subordinates of the Knight King......" Iskandar restrained his smile, and his expression became solemn, "Then this king will not compete with you, and leave them all to you." β
"Thank you for your accomplishment, King Iskandar." The girl nodded, and turned back to Iskandar with a slight bow of thanks.
"Where, for the courtiers, if they can have an admiring monarch by their side at the last moment of their death, it is the supreme happiness." Iskandar smiled heroically, "So fulfill your duty as a king and end the second life of these souls with your own hands, Knight King Artoria!" β
"Shirou, give me the holy sword."
Then the girl turned to me and said in a quiet voice.
"Artoria, are you sure? That way, you can't hide your true identity anymore. β
I had already thought about what the girl wanted to do, but I asked as if to confirm.
"Yes, I'm sure." The girl nodded heavily, and the determined color in her beautiful blue eyes completely appeared, "Now, there is no need to hide my identity anymore. I want to let the world see the return of the Knight King through this battle! β
"Good!"
Seeing that the girl had already made a decision, I no longer hesitated, and concentrated on shifting my attention to the holy sword that had been placed in a safe position.
A few seconds later, a golden sword with a blue hilt and a holy glow all over appeared in my hand.
As soon as the holy sword appeared, the dense skeleton soldiers stopped moving forward, but the empty eyes showed a look of remembrance and struggle, and the cold aura faded like a tide.
The warm and warm light of the sun shone on the hearts of every soldier present, dispelling all their fears and uneasiness.
"That's ...... Sword of Victory in the Oath of the Knight King! β
Already the sharp-eyed soldier shouted, and then he fell to his knees and bowed to the light like a fanatical religious believer.
With his leadership, more and more people began to bow their heads and bend down, telling their respect and admiration for the holy sword.
Among them, there are even quite a few Saxons and Macedonians. After all, the legend of the holy sword is so famous that it has almost become a symbol of hope for people of all eras!
"Artoria, do what you're going to do."
Taking a step forward, I handed the sword into the girl's outstretched palm.
"Understand, I will definitely live up to Shirou's expectations!"
As a result, the girl of the sacred sword nodded, and smiled at me with gentleness and trust.
"Sure enough, no matter how many times you watch it, it's a mesmerizing light." Behind us, Iskandar sighed, "But it's more heart-wrenching than intoxicating." Knight King, how unjust it is that you carry the hope of all the people of the whole kingdom with the body of a weak maiden! β
"King of Conquest, I will tell you all at once what I failed to finish in the last Holy Grail Q&A, along with your questions this time!"
The girl faced forward, slowly but resolutely raising the holy sword in her hand over her shoulder.
The holy golden light like essence quickly condensed and amplified on the sword body of the holy sword!
All the soldiers before him, whether on the British or Macedonian side, retreated in awe, making way for the maiden.
"Ever since that Grail Q&A, O King of Conquest, I have been wondering what has gone wrong with my previous path. Perhaps, as you say, I am essentially a pretentious knight, and I have never been a qualified king. The girl didn't look back, but her clear and beautiful voice came without hindrance.
"After all, I didn't have the desire to be a king from the beginning. Expanding the territory, beautiful women, wealth, etc., has no meaning to me. It was only before I drew my sword that I saw the unmistakable smiling faces of the people of future Britain, and the undoubted postures of the people at the round table, so I unswervingly chose the path of the king, not for myself, but for everyone who accompanied and trusted me until the end! β
At this time, the golden light on the Holy Sword Sword had been condensed to the extreme, and it could be triggered at any time.
"For everyone's sake, I became king, not for myself. Therefore, O King of Conquest, you may laugh at how immature my royal ways are. However, no matter how disproportionate, I have assumed the mission of the king of a country. No matter how seemingly unattainable and distant ideals may be, they are the common aspirations of every British citizen. The city of knights, Camelot, was also built with the common expectation of all the people! β
"Therefore, just as the experience of conquering the king and sharing the weal and butter with your subordinates has become an immortal army, my wish is definitely not the result of indulging in the image of the king, but the collection of the beliefs of every British people!"
"This is the royal road that belongs to me, although it is immature, but in the end, it is worth boasting about!"
After saying it in one breath, the girl swung the holy sword that was raised over her shoulder and swung it vigorously in front of her.
As if to match her momentum, a brilliant golden light suddenly pierced the sky, heading towards the boundless skeleton soldiers!
