Chapter 199: You've Seen It
"My Emperor, an army from the east is heading towards our camp."
In Arthur's tent, where the Northern Army was stationed, Wolf was reporting to Arthur.
Arthur was tidying up his clothes, and this time he was wearing not an ordinary military uniform, but a guard of honor to represent him as the emperor.
The blue velvet cloak was draped over his body, full of luxury.
"My Emperor?" Wolf reminded again.
"I see."
Arthur raised his hand, and the holy sword he had received from Char on the bed flew into his hand.
"He still said it." Arthur raised his hand, and under the influence of magic, a mirror appeared in front of him.
He quietly looked at himself in the mirror and said in a low voice.
"I didn't want to get this far."
"Prince, the Northern Army in the Steam Capital has been cleared, and the army is also mobilizing, preparing to encircle the Sin Emperor."
In the palace of the prince of the steam capital, the officials of the army also reported to Victor.
In the office, Victor crossed his hands over his chest, his face flickering in the dim light, not knowing what he was thinking at the moment.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice.
"I see, let's go down."
"Yes"
The officer withdrew, and for a moment he was the only one left in the entire office, and there was silence in the whole office, and there was not a single voice.
But eventually, a voice echoed through the office.
"You forced me."
Char was not surprised by Victor's rebellion.
When Ebb and Gayward chose to go out to settle accounts with the murderers, he already had a guess.
Because, in Victor's view, this is another signal.
If Arthur caught small fish and shrimp before, he was still in a relatively balanced state with Victor.
And the things that Ebb did with Gayward obviously broke that state.
This gave Victor a signal that Arthur had retaliated against him by purging him of his influence in the south.
And Victor, naturally, will not sit still.
This is also the origin of this rebellion.
Interestingly, both sides believe that the other side provoked it.
Victor also knew that the Western Empire would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack.
But at the moment when he decided to start a rebellion, the South was actually abandoned by him.
His plan was to kill Arthur and go straight to the north.
The main forces of all Britannia are in the south, and the north basically has no combat power, and he will definitely be able to obtain the throne.
After that, he dealt with the Western Empire in the north, and if it really didn't work, he would negotiate and cede the land and pay compensation.
The Western Empire has been fighting for so long, and the country is obviously not very comfortable, and the apparent reason for him to start this war is to "retake his homeland".
If he asks for peace talks, there will be no reason for the Spanish Empire to continue northward.
Of course, this is optimistic speculation.
However, Victor believed that with a little time, he could still defeat the Western Empire.
In fact, in his opinion, if it weren't for this plague, the West Tooth Empire would have been defeated by his men long ago.
And if he can defeat the Western Empire, then Arthur will not come to the south with his army, and he can continue to lay out in the south, where will there be so many troublesome things.
Of course, even if many of the generals of the Southern Army were his confidants, it would be difficult to convince 300,000 people to resist the Mandate of Heaven.
But he controlled the church in the South.
In this day and age, to control the church is to control the discourse.
He circulated rumors in the South that the isolation hospital that Arthur had set up in the South was not for treatment at all, but to gather a group of people in one place and give them up to die.
Of course, this doesn't just justify the rebellion.
They also circulated within the city that God had given up on Arthur because of what he had done, and Sword in the Stone no longer recognized his legitimacy.
The sword in the stone inserted in the cliff can prove it.
This time he became a king and exploded, and in a sense, the legitimacy of this rebellion was also given to him by Arthur.
The reason why Arthur stuck the sword in the stone on the cliff wall in the first place was to punish himself, and the other part was to lure out the people behind it and give them a warning.
At that time, Arthur and Victor were still at a level where you don't offend me, I don't offend you, and they had a common enemy, which was the Western Empire in the south.
Any internal friction between them would result in the benefit of the West Empire.
So Arthur also believes that Victor will not do this, after all, his purpose is Britannia, not the destruction of the country.
But apparently, the appearance of those two children disrupted all this.
Char also relayed what he knew to Moria and Alicia.
As he spoke, Moria's face grew darker.
"Does he know how many people will die in the South if he does this!?"
Moriah said through gritted teeth.
"The main civil war in Britannia, their own people kill their own people.
Then let the men of the Western Empire occupy the south.
Didn't he know that the Western Empire would massacre everywhere he went!?
Hundreds of thousands of people will die for his ambitions!
This inhuman fool! ”
Moria, apparently blinded by Victor's anger, was also a little impatient, and scolded there.
"It was enough to let the army of West France enter Maria's Canyon and abandon the imperial capital.
Now they want to give up the whole South.
This madman! ”
But after scolding all this, Moriah sank into it like a deflated ball, with a little sadness and unwillingness in her eyes.
He is now the Grim Reaper, and no matter what, he can no longer interfere in the affairs of this world.
So in a sense, he could only watch it happen.
Nothing could be more humiliating.
"Don't worry, father." Alicia stood at Moria's side, "Arthur will win." ”
"I know." Moria's voice was low, "However, there must be a great deal of casualties as well.
These soldiers who defended their homes and the country fought for the country with all their blood, and in the end they died at the hands of their own compatriots.
Is there anything more sad than that? ”
"It doesn't have to be dead or wounded to end this rebellion." Char said calmly, "It is impossible for all of the 300,000 troops to be loyal to Victor.
No one would want to fight a civil war, and as long as the legitimacy of their rebellion was broken, the army would be scattered.
For example, the sword that was used in the imperial capital at the beginning. ”
"But wasn't that kid's sword in the stone discarded by him?" Moriah asked.
The corners of Char's mouth hooked up an imperceptible arc, "Who said that sword has to be a sword in the stone to be used?" ”
Moriah was stunned, as if he wanted to ask something.
But the next moment, the light shining from the distant horizon attracted his attention.
It was approaching dusk, the sun was setting, dusk was coming, the sky was very dark, and it was about to get dark.
But the light illuminated the area into daylight.
All people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers could see this scene, and they couldn't even open their eyes at the dazzling light.
The entire sky was illuminated with brilliant light, like a scorching sun rising from the horizon.
The divine brilliance seems to be able to dispel all evil and confusion......
Staring at the white light, feeling the immense magic and the power of condensation.
His scalp was slightly tingling, and goosebumps were straight all over his body.
His throat moved, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, and there was a slight distraction in his eyes......
Moriath was an intern Reaper in the Imperial Capital before Sebas left for Europe.
At that time, Victor was still the regent and controlled the main power in Britannia.
And when he was querying Victor's life at that time, the result of the inquiry was:
Victor Britannia will die at the age of sixty-four, on the lands of the Western Empire.
At the time, he was worried that Victor would bring Britannia to its demise, so he mentioned it in a chat with Sebas.
And at that time, Sebas said to him meaningfully.
"Do you believe in fate?"
He didn't know what Sebas meant at the time, but replied anyway:
"I used to be unbelieving, but after obtaining the Book of the Dead, I know that there is indeed something in this world that is predestined."
Then, Sebas continued to ask him, "Do you believe that the fate of this world will be changed by the will of one person?" ”
Moria, of course, doesn't believe in it, no matter what the legend of the place is, it is an absolute power to set fate.
Even the gods could not change their fate.
The Greek god-king repeats the curse of killing his son and father, and the Nordic world tree will eventually collapse.
However, Sebas shook his head and said to him with a deep gaze:
"I didn't believe it in the past, but until that person appeared......"
"Trust me, Moria.
Victor will not become the emperor of this country.
The country is not going to perish either.
Because, the moment the sword was inserted into that high platform.
The fate of this country is actually doomed
Because there is no one who can resist that will."
But when Moria asked Sebastian who the will was.
Sebas smiled.
"You've already met that person."
Moria came back to her senses and looked at Char standing beside him.
