Chapter 284: The Dream of History
Is it a dream? No, this is history, obviously I have never seen it, but Chen Xiaofeng feels inexplicably familiar.
Stained with gray-brown skies, as well as with bright red hills covered with corpses......
The oppressive clouds in the sky have dissipated, and the dazzling sunlight that emerges from the clouds announces the end of the war.
The sun shines on the earth, but the sight makes people feel even tighter.
Chen Xiaofeng knows this scene and is familiar with this scene.
This is history, this is a sight that has been seen several times in the past, it has not changed, this is one of the battlefields that Artoria has experienced.
For King Arthur, who was invincible in a hundred battles, the relics of war were taken for granted. When she is done, she will return to her royal city, be greeted with the applause of the victorious people, and quietly prepare for the next war.
It's something that has become a matter of course.
This battlefield was just one of the twelve great battles that Wang had galloped on, one of the insignificant, so she did not revel in the victory, but just accepted the result indifferently.
This is not a dream - this is history, Chen Xiaofeng thought about these things, and found that he was ridiculously wrong.
History cannot be changed, and this is already destined for a cold past.
From the moment she pulled out the sword in the stone, this girl, she was no longer human.
After becoming the new lord in place of her father, she became the king who led many knights. She was then called King Arthur or Artoria - the girl who had originally aimed to become a knight, and in that moment, her life was completely changed.
No, Chen Xiaofeng tried hard to deny this.
It is more correct to say that it is not so much to be changed, but to be terminated. Because in that instant, the girl who was still childish before disappeared, and was replaced by the king of knights who led the people to prosperity.
Then she was the only one who was tolerated.
What is even more excessive is that after this, she has to appear in front of others as a man, because the person who governs the vast territory and rules the knights must be a man.
The only people who knew that the king was a maiden were her father and the magician Merlin.
Silver-white armor enveloped her whole body, and she was ready to seal this fact for the rest of her life.
Weishenme didn't notice earlier, what was going on?
A person who receives the most attention and respect, but hides his true identity?
Chen Xiaofeng, who was quietly watching all this, couldn't understand how much distress there was.
The time of history did not stand still because of Chen Xiaofeng's distress.
It's too clear, it's like you're there, and it's probably not just history or a dream - it's Artoria's memory!
As a man, peeking at the girl's memory, this is a rather abnormal and incomprehensible thing, but Chen Xiaofeng still understands a trace of Artoria's feelings in this incomprehensibility.
Whether it is on the throne IQ, or in a desperate situation, or on the battlefield, the girl who is the king has never said a word.
No, I should say that no one has spoken to her.
Even those who showed off their proud achievements at the gorgeous round table turned silent the moment the king appeared.
It's such a simple thing, she is victorious in a hundred battles, but she is just regarded as an idol.
Moreover, at first, most of the knights were simply unwilling to grovel to the young Artoria and serve with their own swords. But since she pulled out the holy sword in the stone that she couldn't pull out, then at least on the surface, obey her. These knights only accepted this as a temporary humiliation, in their opinion, even if they drew the holy sword, the other party was a child after all, and even with the assistance of the magician Merlin, they would definitely be embarrassed immediately.
In that case, it would be good to take the holy sword away and choose the king again.
The knights were optimistic, but the outcome was not what they expected.
This knight, who has just come of age, is a king without flaws.
First, they united the lords who were still fighting each other, and then quickly repelled the invading foreign tribes.
And, obviously, this is not the liliang of the sword in the stone. In the final analysis, the sword in the stone is only a treasure that protects the king's body, not a sacred object that protects the country.
What can defend the country is only the liliang shown by the king.
Thus, as a result, the perfect King Arthur restricted the activities of the knights.
The Holy Sword protected her body against her enemies, but could not help her rule the heart. Artoria is literally doing her best to continue to be everyone's ideal king.
Artoria, who did this, made the knights obey the young king from the bottom of their hearts.
Because of the king's perfection, the knights finally suppressed their dissatisfaction with Artoria, who was still a teenager.
Artoria's goal is to become an ideal king, and the knights support an ideal king.
At first glance, it seems that the two are in harmony. But Chen Xiaofeng found a problem - between such a monarch and his ministers, there is no gap, and there is no space for the existence of Artoria as an ordinary person.
A maiden who was destined to be a king from the moment she was born; The great knight who had drawn the sword from the torn pain and had no longer aged, and who had won successive victories in twelve great battles in ten years—the more perfect he was, the more alienated.
Such a king, no matter how long he reigns, is only an isolated king.
Chen Xiaofeng seemed to know that Artoria Weishenme would have been suspicious of herself before. Because I am isolated, I am suspicious.
Chen Xiaofeng looked at the girl on the throne, his heart ached inexplicably, but he couldn't do anything about this established history.
Fortunately, Artoria is still doing a good job, no, it's too good!
She effectively eliminated all enemy forces, minimizing the number of people who would die in the war.
But no matter how hard you try, war is war, and as long as there is war, there will be death.
That's why Artoria thinks that she should sacrifice her armament in advance, so that she can defend herself against the enemy without much effort.
Before the battle starts, squeeze all the reserves of a village and reorganize its armaments, and then use the army replenished by these armaments to destroy the foreign enemy before the territory is destroyed by the foreign enemy, so as to protect the ten villages.
Sacrifice one, protect ten.
This was the conclusion of Artoria, who was the king, and, in fact, objectively speaking, it was the most suitable policy for the time. It's a good deal, even Chen Xiaofeng doesn't have such a problem.
