Chapter 134: Lancelot

Galahad stood in the palace garden of Camelot City, looking up at the moon in the sky.

She couldn't sleep tonight, so she quietly walked out of the room and went for a walk outside.

This is rarely the case for her, and no matter what is happening around her, she has always been able to keep her pace, whether it is a meeting, fighting, resting, moving, absolutely unambiguous, without delay.

She is like a sophisticated machine, able to accomplish every goal perfectly.

But tonight she had a rare insomnia.

This puzzled her.

"It's okay to function...... Why? Galahad asked himself expressionlessly, "Psychological factors are most likely, like what happened to Lancelot, ......?" ”

It would be absolutely a lie to say that today is as usual without any worries, because something really happened in the court today.

According to the report of the British navy sailing in the sea of the Strait of La Manche, three days ago a large number of Roman ships appeared in the southeast of the strait.

Although they sailed only on the mainland side, that is, outside the territorial waters of Britain, their frequent loitering made the court very concerned.

And two days later.

Britain's ally, the Gallic Empire, sent a letter asking for help, a cipher sent by magic.

The letter said that the borders of the Gallic Empire had been massed by the Roman Empire, the number of which was not less than 50,000, and that the Roman Emperor had received a notice of surrender, although the Gauls sent envoys to try to understand the true intentions of the other party, and also came up with the past covenant agreement, but Rome turned a blind eye to this, and killed the envoy they sent, in desperation, the Gallic Empire had to decide to fight, but the difference in strength with Rome was huge, so it asked Britain to send some soldiers to support them to resist the Roman invasion.

If this matter had been placed half a year ago, it would have been unanimously agreed by the whole of Britain, because the Gallic Empire and the British Empire had a very good relationship, and since the founding of the country, they have formed a friendship for nearly a hundred years, and the Roman Empire is also an enemy who regards Britain as a thorn in the side, and it is incumbent on them to send troops to support their allies.

But not necessarily now, as the country faces an election for the king.

The Election of the King is arguably the most important event in Britain, and the whole country is paying attention.

At this time, I am afraid that no lord is willing to send troops to support foreign countries, and as for the court, it is even more impossible to send troops. Who knows what the lords with evil intentions will do after the strength of the palace is reduced by half, so they can't send too many troops out either.

Of course, this alone was not enough for the court to refuse the request of the Gallic Empire.

There is another important objective factor in.

That is, the operation of the Roman navy in the Strait of Ramance three days ago, and the fact that Gaul did not choose to send a mission, but could only send a ciphertext, shows that the coastline of Gaul has been completely blocked by the Roman navy, and it is impossible to set foot on the territory of Gaul unless there is a plan to engage in a naval battle with Rome.

Britain's navy was quite weak, and after losing to Rome ten years ago, King Uther ordered a vigorous development of the navy and the construction of ships, but due to technical problems, Britain's navy was still far from the Roman Empire in terms of quantity and quality.

Under these objective conditions, the majority of the parliament, including Galahad, believe that troops should not be sent.

There is only one exception.

That man was Lancelot.

He insisted that troops should be sent.

As for the reason for sending troops, everyone knows it.

Because Lancelot was king of the Gallic Empire, Ben. Son of Pols, heir to the next throne.

As for why the prince of a country is in Britain and still serves as a knight of the round table, this is about ten years ago.

Ten years ago, after the truce between Britain and the Roman Empire, the treasury was empty, in order to restore the domestic economy, the then King Uther took the initiative to ask his ally the Gallic Empire for the latest magic technology in exchange for material aid, and sent the court mage group [Goddess of the Lake] to go abroad for exchanges, the Gallic King Ben after thinking, agreed to Britain's request, in order to show friendship, after that, he also let his son Lancelot study in Britain.

Lancelot was an upright man, a skilled swordsman, a visionary, and a successful learner, because he fell in love with the country of Britain, so he did not return to China, but honed his martial arts in Britain, and soon passed the examination to join the Knights of the Round Table, participated in the battles of Britain, and was deeply used by King Uther.

In this way, he was very popular among knights, and he also received the title of first knight. Naturally, speaking carries a lot of weight.

Therefore, at today's parliament, when he proposed that troops should be sent to support the Gallic Empire, no one dared to object, of course, this was not the case in the voting process, and the votes were fifty-five, and in the end, it was the Mage Merlin who proposed that the bill should be put on hold, and the parliament was ended.

However, Lancelot was furious at the result, and after some struggle, he decided to ask the other Knights of the Round Table for help.

Although Britain is a parliamentary system with special ministers and councillors, the Knights of the Round Table also have the power to senate.

In addition, they themselves still have a certain amount of military power, and if they can get their help, they will definitely be able to pass the bill.

"I can't agree with ......, though"

Galahad sighed softly.

As a knight directly under the court, Galahad to put the safety of his homeland first, and naturally could not agree to Lancelot's request.

The same should have been true for Gawain, Gareth, and Bedwell, but Gawain, who valued the most affection among them, accepted Lancelot's request.

The two of them had left the palace together a few hours earlier, probably in search of more Knights of the Round Table.

But will this be successful?

Galahad had little hope for that.

The total number of Knights of the Round Table was originally one hundred and fifty.

Now, after the death of King Yusher, most of the people have chosen to return to their own realms, ignoring domestic affairs, and declaring that they will be disarmed and returned to the land, or they will directly join the banner of a noble lord and see him as the new monarch. Therefore, in Galahad's view, the Knights of the Round Table, who were loyal to their country and loved each other, no longer existed, and some were only estranged and even heartless, so how could Lancelot persuade them?

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

Galahad said to himself.

Her duty is to slay the enemy and protect the country. Just do both.

As for what the others were thinking, the girl didn't care and didn't care.

"Let's go back." Galahad turned and walked towards the dormitory.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, and her gaze wandered.

On the windowsill of the city, a black mist disappeared in a blink of an eye.

…… What is that?

Galahad raised her brow in confusion, with the eyesight of a sixth-order powerhouse, she could see the outline of an object clearly even in a dim and dark place, and thus judge its contents.

But she couldn't see what it was.

It's impossible to tell whether it's a person or a thing.

If it weren't for her extremely sharp intuition, it would have been difficult for Lancelot, who was also a Sixth Order Scholar, to discover the existence of that black mist in such a dark night.

"The magic of invisibility...... Intruders. ”

Galahad frowned, slammed his foot on the ground, and quickly chased after him.
