Chapter 127: The Prelude to the Battle

"I see, you've really changed, King of Britain. Are you finally no longer unwilling to be resigned to fate and desperately resist, but choose to accept everything in the past? ”

The look of surprise on Iskandar's face flickered and was replaced by a thick smile.

"That's why the past can't be changed. Even if you have the Holy Grail, it is an impossible wish to fulfill. The girl said calmly, "Bearing the sins I have committed, not running away from any of the sinners I have ever lived, and continuing to take on my own responsibilities, this is what Shirou himself taught me." ”

"Even if the final disillusionment makes you miserable?" Iskadar said as he looked at the girl's blue eyes.

"Yes...... For neither I, nor the knights who have surrounded me, have done their utmost for the prosperity of Camelot, enough to ensure that there is no regret in their lives. So no matter how sad and desperate the result is, I will not overturn it again. The eyes of the blonde maiden sparkled like stars that would not dim in the bright sun, "for there is only one Camelot in this world, and countless people in the past have defended their glory with their lives." For the sake of the deceased, I will definitely not twist myself! ”

…………

"Haha, good! With such a state of mind, he lives up to the name of a hero! ”

Iscadal let out a hearty laugh and repeatedly.

"I'm not a hero, just an ordinary knight, guarding everything I hold dear." The girl shook her head slightly.

"Well, then knight Artoria, are you also determined to stand in the way of this king's conquest?" Iskandar asked with a grin on his lips.

"Yes, my decision is exactly the same as Shirou's." The girl nodded, and exuded a substantial majesty to completely block Iskandar's momentum, "All the things that I do in Britain can only be decided by the Britons, and no outsider is allowed to override them for any reason, even if it is only nominal belonging or submission. ”

…………

"Well, it's a pity for the King of Britain, it seems that today we are destined to meet each other on this battlefield."

Although he seemed to complain and sigh, the corners of Iskandar's mouth couldn't help but rise, as if he had been looking forward to this result for a long time.

"Yes, it was meant from the start. There is no possibility of reconciliation between you and me through words, and the only way to get the other to submit is to use force. The girl replied calmly.

"Hahaha-" Iskandar let out a thunderous laugh when he heard this, "King of Britain, your ambition is really not small, and you actually want this king to submit and become your subordinate?" ”

"If I lose in the end, I'm at your mercy." The girl said in a serious tone, "Iskander, let's fight with the legion you are best at." Let's see if your heart of conquest is strong, or if my will to protect is strong! ”

…………

"Very good, this is the first battle since this king was summoned, so use this battle to announce to the world that this king's hegemony has begun!"

Iscadal drew his sword and raised it high into the sky!

A black horse with four hooves galloped from the rear formation, and a white markings on its head were particularly obvious.

Eventually, the steed stopped beside Iskander.

…………

"Buseverus, dear old partner, we're going to fight side by side again."

Turning over and jumping off the "Wheel of Divine Power", Iskandar's tall and burly body stood beside his beloved horse, gently combing the mane on his back.

Look at the gentle movements and cherishing eyes, as if the horse was his lover.

…………

Bussefilus was a famous stallion purchased by Alexander's father for a large sum of money. The horse's journey was astonishing, and it traveled thousands of miles in a day, but it was so fierce and unruly that all the warriors who searched the territory of Macedonia could not tame it.

Just when the king of Macedon was discouraged and ready to order the horse to be taken away, Alexander, who was only twelve years old, stepped forward. Because Alexander stumbled upon the fact that Bussephilus was very afraid of his shadow, he made a bet to his father that he could tame the fiery horse.

Alexander pointed the horse's head at the sun, causing its shadow to fall completely behind him, and Busephilus was silenced. Alexander then got into the saddle and rode around the field on Bussephilus, declaring that he had tamed the fiery horse.

Since then, Bussefilus has been Alexander's mount, accompanying him in countless battles and making great achievements.

…………

"Be careful Shirou, Iskandar is going to get serious."

Seeing Buseffilus appear, Artoria's expression became solemn.

"Well, it's a legend about Bussephilus. As long as he rode the same horse, Alexander on the battlefield would become invincible and unstoppable. ”

Looking at Iscadal on horseback from afar, I nodded my head as I watched Iscal step onto his horse, a few points higher than before.

"Iskandar has been handed over to me to deal with, and he must not be allowed to act freely on the battlefield. And the task of commanding the army is up to you, Shirou, to hold the line and not let the Macedonian army break through our defensive circle. ”

The girl turned her head and looked at me with a meticulous expression.

…………

"I will defend the line to the death, but I am afraid that our army alone will not be able to defend for a long time. After all, Iskander's subordinates included some of the most famous generals, and even surpassed Iskandar himself in terms of individual force. ”

I looked at the immature faces of the soldiers behind me, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"I know all of this. The round table has just been rebuilt and has not yet been trained, and nearly half of the soldiers are newly recruited, so we are at a disadvantage in terms of their combat ability. The girl nodded quietly, "But hold on for at least half an hour, and things will turn around." ”

"Turnaround?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Skaha, who was smiling behind me.

…………

"Yes, Sister Skaha's secret weapon has been laid, but it will take half an hour to unleash it. Until then, I'll ask you for you. ”

The girl nodded, her clear turquoise eyes looking straight into my eyes.

“…… Don't worry, it's only half an hour, and I really can't go to the battlefield by myself. I gritted my teeth and said, "Artoria, you can go out in peace, I have everything in the back." ”

"No! Shirou, you have to promise me that you must not be impulsive! If you get hurt because of it, there's no point in this fight! ”

The girl was in a hurry when she heard this, and grabbed my arm hard.
