Chapter 285: The King Without Affection

But Chen Xiaofeng only thinks so as a bystander, if there is someone Chen Xiaofeng cares about among the people to be sacrificed, then it is two different things for so long.

People are selfish.

Because of this, it is normal that there will be knights who will also be dissatisfied.

What's more, in their opinion, only the invaders are damned, and if you want to defend your homeland and fight the invaders, no sacrifice is what the king should do.

That is, there is no need to squeeze the villages in your own territory before the war.

Because there is a "god of war incarnation" of the king's existence zài, so your side will win, so there will be no sacrifice.

These knights thought that there would be no sacrifice, and this qiē was too much for Artoria to think about.

However, as a modern person, Chen Xiaofeng seems to have these just their beautiful dreams. War will inevitably bring sacrifices. Moreover, it is also guessed that as long as the war begins, these knights will not pay attention to the small village at all.

It seems that in their eyes, it is a matter of course that the place is trampled on and ravaged, so it is not included in the list of guardians.

Thus, the contradiction between these knights arose.

On the one hand, he said that these villages should be destroyed by the enemy, and on the other hand, he said that it was a great sin to do it by one's own side.

Of course, she also knows such things. But he didn't say anything. For the king cannot have private affairs. She refrains from making decisions, and the knight obeys with suppressed selfishness.

In this way, sacrifices were made, and continuous victories brought stability to the country, and the victory brought by sacrifice brought stability to the country, and the price of such stability was antipathy to the king.

"King Arthur, I don't understand human feelings." One of the knights left the royal city with these words.

What a ridiculous contradiction.

As a fair and selfless king, no one would expect her to be human, but she was disgusted because she had no human emotions?

The era of war continues.

The knight's departure became the trigger. The already disgruntled knights became even more dissatisfied, and they pressed her for the countless foreign enemies and domestic problems as her responsibility.

However, Artoria took it lightly. But even if all the problems are solved, the future of these grievances will be the same, right?

However, this was nothing more than a trivial matter to the king.

It doesn't matter if you are alienated, feared, or betrayed. Because these are all predestined. From the moment she was determined to draw the sword, she gave up her feelings for the sight of years ago—the knights of the square gathered to draw the sword, and the clamor of the king by force was heard in the square.

Chen Xiaofeng thinks this is similar to the feeling of looking at the vegetable market from a distance.

The noise of the square gradually faded, and the center began to shift towards the arena. Far from the noise of the knights, there was no one around the rock with the sword in it.

It was at this moment, standing in front of the rock, that Artoria, who had just come of age, seemed to be thinking something.

When she came back to her senses, she noticed that behind her stood a magician she had never seen before, and the magic hood was pressed low, giving it an unfathomable feeling.

"Before you draw that sword, I think you'd better think about it." The magician said, "But I advise you not to do it...... I won't lie to you. ”

"Because when you draw that sword, you're no longer human." The magician continued, "As long as you get this sword, then the bearer will be hated by the people, and finally lead to a miserable demise. ”

Hearing such words, it was impossible for young Artoria not to be afraid. Moreover, the magician did not know what kind of magic was used, which gave her a glimpse of the future after drawing the sword. It was an end that even Chen Xiaofeng didn't want to look at directly.

But......

"Nope."

This apocalypse still made Artoria determined. Even though she saw her miserable future, she nodded vigorously.

The magician asked, "Is that good?" ”

"There were a lot of people laughing. So, I think that must be a good choice. ”

Artoria slowly put her hand on her sword.

Seeing Artoria's actions, the magician seemed to scratch his cheeks in some confusion.

"But miracles come at a price. In exchange, what you have to pay is what is most precious to you. ”

And then.

The magician left what seemed to be a prophetic word.

One can imagine what Artoria has to pay. All she wants to do is protect the people. Then, in order to achieve this goal and this miracle, he must pay the hearts of the people to "protect the people".

Because if you have a feeling of recognition, you will have selfish desires, and then there will be no way to govern the country well as a king.

Artoria understood this, and that's why she drew her sword; understands this truth, so he vows to live as a king.

Even if he is alienated, feared, and betrayed, what Artoria does will not change, because he has no heart, no humanity.

Who knows such a noble oath?

Since you have decided to fight, no matter what you encounter, even if you will face death in the future - even so, you still decide to fight.

The future is inescapable, whether it's loneliness or fighting.

This is the result.

And so Artoria ushered in the biggest and first major betrayal of her life.

His most trusted knight eloped with his own princess. However, even in the face of such a betrayal, Artoria still did not show any "human" look. Such a thing seems to have nothing to do with oneself.

All Artoria did was learn how to react after being cuckolded and go on an expedition.

If it weren't for the betrayal of the man and woman, then there probably wouldn't be a story afterward, right?

Next.

Battle of Kamran.

After Artoria set off on an expedition, a knight usurped the throne, splitting her country into two parts and killing each other.

This knight is Artoria's child, and in order to hide people's eyes, ask the witch Morgan to use Artoria's factor to create a child.

In a short period of time, Artoria suffered two of the most heart-wrenching betrayals in the world.

It was a war like no other.

Legend has it that in this war, both knights and knights were wiped out, and Artoria defeated the knights who had followed her one by one.

Then he attacked the land he had guarded, and the knights who had barely followed him were scattered.

"Why...... Why Arthur! You still won't pass the throne to me! The young man, who had the same appearance as Artoria, waved his sword and questioned Artoria angrily.
