Chapter 125: Conquest, For the World!
The voice came from a young knight of the Round Table.
As soon as the words fell, it immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter.
"Haha, yes, why did you forget this. Whoever tries to test the amount of alcohol with my king will really hit the edge of the sword by himself! β
A few days ago, Artoria single-handedly poured down a group of Knights of the Round Table by someone and became a hot topic of conversation among almost all the people of Camelot.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Artoria, are you happy with the result?" I smiled and looked at the girl standing nearby.
"Stupid......," the girl lowered her head, her voice almost inaudible.
"Artoria, you ......" I was going to say something.
And yetβ
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Dangchang!"
With the sound of the sword falling to the ground, the petite blonde girl suddenly threw herself into my arms.
"It's so stupid, you can't find a more stupid fool in the world than you!"
The tiny head was completely buried in my chest, making her voice sound dull and indistinct.
"As long as it can make you smile happily all the time, even if you say so, it's worth it......"
I put my palm on top of the girl's head and looked up at Iskandar not far away.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Iskander, who had been talking and touting his domineering claims a moment ago, was now unexpectedly silent.
With thick fingers running over his well-defined chin, Iskandar furrowed his furrowed brow as if he was carefully chewing on every word I spoke.
"Alas......"
After a moment, as if incomprehensible, he gave up thinking with a long sigh.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lowering his hand, Iskandar raised his head and looked at me with great seriousness.
"Little ghost, this king once boasted that he could understand the thoughts of all people in this world, even Darius III. But the faith you have in your heart at this moment is unheard of by this king. If you want to make a person happy, you can conquer the territory of the whole world, and then put a mountain of treasures in front of that person, and then solve all the problems? β
"That's different, Iskander." I shook my head and said, "In your eyes, conquest may replace everything, but many things are lost and cannot be replaced. For example, family, friends, and love. β
"Little ghost, you will have this thought, just because you are not strong enough." Iskandar shook his head and said, "When you're strong enough to conquer the world, even such a thing as fate will bow its proud head in front of you.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Iskandar, when you were alive, because you were obsessed with conquest, after you died of illness, your subordinates betrayed you, killed your heirs, and completely divided the country you built single-handedly. Aren't you now a Heroic Spirit not learning your lesson at all? β
The girl suddenly raised her head from my arms and asked Iskandar in a loud voice.
"That's why this king has to work harder to conquer the whole world!" Iskandar's eyes were unwavering, and they carried a conviction that was unwavering.
"What......?!" Both me and the girl were shocked.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Because, in the process of conquest, the courtiers will inevitably doubt the road ahead because of all the difficulties and dangers on the way. In this regard, we can only rely on Wang's unparalleled personal charm to unite the panicked people and move forward for the blueprint drawn by the king! Iskandar smiled proudly, "The role of the king is naturally here, as long as the king reigns for one day, everyone will unremittingly complete the mission under his guidance and control!" β
"The king before his death, because of the joke of fate, failed to lead the courtiers to the end, which became a regret for the ages. And now that the world has given this king another chance, this king naturally has to cherish it and complete the hegemony that he did not compete for in his lifetime! β
"But haven't you ever repented of the suffering caused to the people along the way by the so-called conquest in your lifetime?" The girl's voice began to rise, and the flames of anger brewed in it, "How many people, they just want to be happy, and want to live forever with the people they love and love them! Were they born to bury your ambitions?! β
"King of Britain, you have misunderstood the purpose of this king. This king has never conquered the world not for himself, but for the whole world! Iskandar directly pushed back the sharpness in the girl's words with a stronger momentum!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The overlord who is selfish to the extreme, he dares to keep saying that he is for the world!"
The girl's chest rose and fell violently, obviously angry to the extreme.
"King of Britain, your vision is too small, and your heart is pitifully narrow." Iskandar only shook his head with pity on his face in the face of the girl's anger.
"Listen, King of Britain. First of all, as a king, you must understand that no matter how powerful we are, we can only control the people in our land. Is it enough that you are diligent in national politics and let everyone live a happy life as you understand it? β
"It is the duty and duty of a king to fight for the happiness of his people, so why not dedicate his life to it?" The girl replied without thinking.
"No, it's far off!" Iskandar let out a hard exclaim, "If you think that your land is only a tiny fraction of all the lands of the whole world, and that there are so many people in this world who are not under your jurisdiction, suffering under the rule of other tyrants, can you watch it all indifferent?" β
"Thisβ" The girl was stunned.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"King of Britain, as I mentioned last time, that you are immersed in the aura of the idol of the king you have created, and you only know how to save and guide the people. Now it seems that you are not only unreasonable, but also selfish! β
"Me? Selfish? The girl's voice trembled.
"That's right, in your eyes, only the little and pitiful population of Britain is the object of protection and rescue!" Iskandar's rugged voice was filled with undeniable criticism, "You have selfishly removed the enslavement and oppression of other peoples from your eyes, and have chosen to turn a blind eye to the suffering of others!" β
"I ...... Never before! The girl's eyes widened, and her green pupils kept shaking in her eyes, "I have always been sympathetic to the plight of the people of neighboring countries, and I have provided assistance to my host country more than once......"
"That is not enough, King of Britain!" Iskandar directly waved his hand, interrupting the girl's next words.
