Chapter 171: Justice Will Prevail
Long live King Arthur!
Long live King Arthur!
Long live King Arthur!
The Crusader tin soldiers called out the names of their commanders, and they were united in one mind, and the soldiers even formed one with his commanders.
Obviously they are just toy soldiers made of tin, they are only magically given their life, they are just the shadows of illusory crusader soldiers, but under the leadership of Richard the Lionheart, they are like living people.
This is no longer the magic he uses, this is no longer an android or a puppet, but a Heroic Spirit, the same Heroic Soul Servant as King Richard the Lionheart and the Red Castle in Yugdomrainia.
The flag of the three lions symbolizing the British royal family was unfurled, and the flag symbolizing the Norman Duke's family was two lions, and the flag of the Count of Anjou was a lion, and when Henry II succeeded to the throne, he merged a lion of his father Anjou family and two lions of his mother Norman family, which is the three-lion flag.
The cross flag with a white background belonging to St. George, which is also the flag that belonged to the Crusaders in the past.
William watched all this dumbfounded, things were already beyond his grasp, and there were more and more tin crusader soldiers, not 1000, but more than 8,000 soldiers.
"Is this what you did?" William asked.
"This is not only my doing, but also my doing, both your credit, and the role of my treasure, and more importantly, our soldiers are unwilling to ......."
Lionheart looked at 8,000 Crusader soldiers, who had been on a rampant campaign in England and France, selling all kinds of official positions, and once wanted to auction off London, raising a large amount of military expenses, and finally summoned 8,000 soldiers to accompany him to participate in the Crusades.
"Unwilling?" William was incomprehensible.
"My Noble Phantasm can only summon seven friends who used to follow me, but your magic can give life to the Tin Soldier Toy, and when the power of the two is combined, the opportunity happened, they are not the toys you created, nor my subordinates, but the historical Crusader Heroes, who took this opportunity to erode into this world with their own will, attaching their will to the bodies of toy soldiers and merging with them." Richard the Lionheart explained.
"Are you so unwilling to do this at the expense of doing this?"
"Yes, unwillingly, I am a failed monarch, an unfilial son, I have set off a magnificent rebellion against my father, Henry II, and have removed him from the throne and ascended to the throne of king, I am an unqualified husband, a man who has spent more time abroad than at home, more time in France than England, a king who has neglected his duties, who has been the leader of the crusades, but a loser, I am a prisoner of the emperor, and I have not established an heir, so much so that my brother John, preferring to give the emperor a large bribe, He was not willing to ransom me back, but only willing to let me be imprisoned forever, and even be judged by the emperor and executed by me.
For the inability to govern well and benevolently for the benefit of the people, I and the soldiers were under a disgraceful attack simply because I failed to recover Jerusalem. ”
Richard the Lionheart said angrily, and at this moment he finally revealed his personal emotions.
Richard the Lionheart's merit came from organizing the Crusades, but the failure of the successful Crusades also came from the Crusades, because the Crusader leaders were infighting, which led to the failure of the Crusaders' efforts to recover Jerusalem.
For example, he was a Frenchman, not an Englishman, and he didn't even know English, and he could be evaluated as a holy monarch like Alexander, Augustus, King Arthur, and Charlemagne, or as a tyrant without reason.
If Jerusalem can be recovered, this feat alone will be enough to silence anyone, and it means that a heavy glory can be laid on the fate of religion and Christendom.
"Do you think that's fair?" Richard the Lionheart asked.
"I don't know." William smiled wryly.
"Actually, I don't know, but I don't regret it, I took the lead, I came to see my fellow Christians suffering, but I came, I saw, I saved.
We are small people, but we are just a tiny speck of dust in the universe. A hundred years later, whether it is an emperor, a king, a knight, or a commoner, they are all just three feet of loess.
So does it make sense to defend religion and liberate Jerusalem? Does it make sense to save one's fellow Christians? The war between the Crescent and the Crucifixion, everything was just an accidental collision of two grains of sand in a handful of sand. ”
"If you question it like this, the meaning of human existence will be denied!" William replied with a frown.
"Yes, the meaning of human existence is meaningful because of the collective existence of human beings, and the meaning of being a hero is to be praised for the cause of contributing to mankind, so become a hero.
A hero is not a natural hero, but one who has made great feats to be called a hero.
But what if this feat is a failure?
Future generations may ask the same question, did the person buried in this loess mound really exist, or did it ever exist? Is it the same as the legend of King Arthur, it is just a story compiled by later generations.
That great Arthurian kingdom has collapsed, what is he left behind? Richard the Lionheart organized the Third Crusade and failed, then he was just a tyrant in vain.
However, I don't care about my evaluation, I just want my soldiers to know that their wars, their sacrifices, are meaningful, even if they don't succeed.
What are we defending? What do we protect? What is the point of our fighting?
Have we ever existed?
existed.
How so?
Because we have lived vigorously, fought with all our might, fought and shed our blood for our fellow Christians far away from our own country, we have existed.
The world is measured by success as a value.
However, the value of the sun does not need to be measured by others, and the brilliance is always there, but countless people are looking for it.
Stupidity.
Success or failure, the sun is shining on you.
It makes sense to do it knowing that you can't do it, and to challenge the windmill giants.
King Arthur's kingdom may have collapsed, but his spiritual kingdom will forever stand in England.
The sky has no shadow of wings because we have already flown over.
Existence is meaningful, there are successes and failures, every advance and even backward of human beings has meaning, history always spirals forward, so our wars are meaningful.
A certain diplomat has said that just as China cannot lose Shandong, the West cannot lose Jerusalem.
Based on this argument, the liberation of Jerusalem is just.
In order to fight heresy, we are righteous.
Justice will prevail! ”
After the Lionheart King said this, William could only watch this scene in a daze, and suddenly understood that the Lionheart King was not confused from the beginning, and this conversation was not only for William, but also for the summoned Heroic Spirit.
Even if the US imperialists want to start a war, they have to give others the charge of secretly hiding "washing powder".
In this way, it will not only win the support of the international community and international public opinion, but will also enable the soldiers to fight with confidence.
Justice will prevail!
Justice will prevail!
Justice will prevail!
, the morale of the soldiers is so high, how did the surrounding environment start to turn into yellow sand.
This is the Innate Enchantment, an Innate Enchantment maintained by the Soldiers and the Lionheart's combined mana.
Not just the heroic spirits of the Third Crusade, but also the first and second, the fourth and even the fifth.
There were not only English, but also French, Normans, Germans, Vikings.
