Chapter 514: Queen Artoria
A moment ago, Saber was clearly still in Fuyuki City at the end of the 20th century, and was going to continue playing around with those little guys to grab the Holy Grail that didn't need to be 'robbed' at all. Chatted for a while, and then opened his eyes again, and he came here unexpectedly.
What the hell... is this all about?
Regarding this, Saber is still at a loss, just standing in the middle of a familiar dirt road, looking at her empty hands and some long-lost clothes on her body in a daze.
"here it is……"
"That's right, this is Camelot, the hometown of my adoptive father, the old knight Sir Hector, and my adopted brother Kai..."
Blue sky, white clouds, fresh air, emerald green shade, surrounded by the chirping of insects and birds... The farm in front of me and the locked gate of the farm house make Saber... no, it should be Arthur or Al Toria Pendragon's heart quickly flooded with the memories of those years, and finally remembered where this place is and why she is here at this time.
"This is a living body, not the body of a heroic spirit... What is going on here?"
After touching his warm face, a certain damao soon realized something.
"Just why, I came back again... I actually, really returned to the day of the king's election? Could it be that everything before was just a dream?!"
At this time, Arturia really felt unreal like a dream, as if... She herself had a long nightmare for no reason, and then suddenly woke up from the dream, and she found everything , as if it never started?
Thinking of everything in the past, in that dream, it seemed that at this time, today, she drew that sword and became king... Then, not long after, she started her foreign wars... first Under the invasion of the northern Saxons, she passed twelve battles, and finally successfully repelled the invasion of the Saxon barbarians from the north, and finally defeated the enemy in one fell swoop in the battle of Mount Barton, and wiped out all the foreigners. The invaders were all expelled to Dalida, north of the second British administrative region, ushering in her glorious era of King Arthur!
And then, the betrayal he encountered after returning from his expedition to Rome... From then on, the country began to fall apart, civil strife continued, and the lives of the people were devastated, so that in the end all efforts were ruined...
But now, it seems that everything that has happened, except for the memory in his mind, is really like a dream, and it really never happened?
"Dream your big head!"
?(?`^′?)?)`Д′)
"Do you know that it is very hard for people to reset the timeline of a plane, and they were almost discovered by others!"
Just as Arturia remembered that she had lived for ten years, she thought that she was here, as an apprentice knight, being trained in swordsmanship and etiquette by old Sir Hector, and at the same time participating in farming like her adoptive father and brother , received the king's education secretly, took care of the horses and patrolled the village, and could only sleep for three hours every day from the early morning to the sunrise. The ground hit her in the face, and she woke up suddenly.
That's right, it is undoubtedly little Anne who is talking and doing things now.
At this time, Annie was still holding a handful of broken gem fragments in her hand. Those were actually the time gem's regular power and energy being exhausted. Her Lady Queen Anne put in a lot of effort in order to bring Arturia back to the opponent's timeline and reset it back to a so-called 'Election Day'.
For the time being, I will not tell outsiders about the hardships involved.
"But it's okay, those guys seem a little stupid, as long as they get a little serious,
Those guys just won't find me! "
World consciousness and so on, even those magicians who pick their feet in the main plane can deceive them to play, let alone Annie herself! Anyway, now she has successfully snatched a certain agreement from the dumb-haired king Artoria Pendragon from the Seat of Heroes, and brought it back to the other party's timeline, and then reset it back to the present.
And this is why Artoria had a dreamlike sense of unreality just now! After all, anyone who goes back to the past in the blink of an eye, and when this moment is extremely real, but still has some faint memories of the future, there will always be an illusion as if it was the next day.
"An, Annie?!"
Memories flooded in again, and Artoria turned around following the voice in surprise, and she saw a familiar figure in a red dress holding a plush bear paw, looking at it with disgust. The ground is full of water and muddy roads.
Just now, it was obvious that the other party hit her in the face with that plush toy, making her recover from that trance state.
"That's right! It's me!"
"Oh! I'm not talking about you, you have a look, your place is really too dirty, are you the king of this kind of dilapidated place? It looks dirty, thanks to the fact that you still miss this place, if If I'm gone, don't want me to come back after I'm gone!"
First, she tiptoed and walked carefully to the grass on one side, and then rubbed the dirt on her rough-toed leather shoes on the grass. Then Anne complained and disgusted to a certain daze who was still a bit dazed. Mao muttered.
Anyway, Annie thinks that in such a dilapidated small place, even in the distant city, there may be at most about 10,000 people in it, right? She really can't figure out what's so good about this kind of sloppy corner, and it's worth not forgetting about it?
"That's because it just rained yesterday... It seems that we have really returned to the 'Day of King Election'?"
Artoria felt a little inconceivable that she could still remember that it rained 'yesterday', and then she took a deep breath and nodded.
"That's right, this is Camelot..."
"My father, Uther Pendragon, should have passed away yesterday. Then, today is the second day. The knights, Ian, are in the cemetery of the church to the west, preparing for the election in the form of drawing the sword in the stone." There will be a new king!"
"Now, it should be the time when I failed to draw the sword, and replaced it with a martial arts competition... Then, when I came home to hold the sword for my brother-in-law Kai? I still remember, no one was at home, and the door was locked, so I couldn't get in. Go, that's why..."
Arturia began to murmur to herself and slowly recalled that she never imagined that before she failed to obtain the Holy Grail and started to make a wish, she could actually return to this day, to the beginning of everything hour?
If she remembers correctly, her father, who had few impressions, should have passed away yesterday, and the domestic situation in Britain began to be turbulent and chaotic as early as when he was sick... …Then, the Archbishop had to follow the advice of the Prophet Merlin, summon noble knights from almost all surrounding territories and kingdoms, and use a 'sword in the stone' inserted in the stones of the churchyard to choose a new King of Britain !
She still remembered that there was such an inscription on the sword: 'The one who pulls out the sword in the stone is the King of England'!
However, among all the knights, no matter whether they came from the Western Roman Empire in France or from the local area, including her brother-in-law Kay, no one could pull out the tightly inserted golden handle from the rock. Sword! Therefore, after two days of stalemate, those knights felt that since no one could pull out the holy sword, they should simply choose a new king in a way they thought was more reasonable?
Therefore, the knights quickly reached an agreement and decided: to choose their own king through a contest!
The prophecy of the archbishop or Merlin, at this time, when the knights can't wait to become the king, they are directly forgotten by them... They want to choose their own king in their own way, with big fists What is right is justified, and the most powerful one can be called the king!
As for the broken sword that was stuck in the stone and couldn't be pulled out... I don't know which **** bastard stuck it so deep. They rotated nearly two hundred people in two days, and everyone tried it many times. They couldn't pull it out with all their energy... So, now whoever wants to pull it out can pull it out, they don't want to wait on the broken stone and the broken sword stuck in it anymore.
Whether it was yesterday or today, Artoria, whose alias was Arthur, seemed to have gone too, but she was obviously not qualified to participate in the sword drawing or the upcoming contest. Her real family was fostered by her. Kay, the son of the old knight Sir Hector, who was her brother Arthur, represented the family, not her.
However, her righteous brother Kai found out in astonishment after entering the competition venue: He forgot to bring his own sword?
So, he could only ask Arthur to go home and get it. But when she rushed home, she found that the door of the house was locked, and everyone seemed to have gone to watch the competition... It is not difficult to imagine what happened next. After thinking about it, she had no time to go back to the competition venue to get the key. In desperation, I ran directly to the cemetery of the church, and then...
If she still wants to go on the same path as before, then Arturia should return directly to the cemetery of the church after seeing that the door of her house is locked, and pull out the sword in the stone that chooses the king. ?
"Annie, what are we going to do now?"
"Should I immediately go to the cemetery to pull out the sword in the stone, and use the holy sword to summon those knights, so that they will recognize me as the new King of Camelot?"
Looking at her attire, Arturia, who was wearing black narrow-cut trousers and off-white knight squire linen clothes, with her hair tied up, looked like a tomboy, finally calmed down and turned to the side Annie, the little girl who was complaining and muttering, asked.
In fact, instead of asking, it’s better to say it’s a confirmation?
Because, she has made up her mind to do that now, and the reason for asking this is just because the other party is grateful for bringing her back to this point in time. She doesn't think this little girl can think of anything more. Good choice to come.
She, Artoria Pendragon, must pull out the sword in the stone today, otherwise, maybe the knights will really compete to choose a new king by themselves.
"Don't worry, let's prepare something first!"
"Anyway, that tattered handle is specially placed there for you to pull out. Behind the scenes, the things that are given to you by default are operated behind the scenes, and others can't take them away. Why are you so anxious?"
As for the sword in the stone and so on, Anne knows the simple magic of identifying the owner better than anyone else! For example, an uncle who likes to hold a hammer, the hammer in his hand?
wrong! The current Uncle Hammer seems to have lost his hammer. It seems that this is indeed the case? Well, don't think about these things first...
Anyway, Annie is not in a hurry about the sword in the stone. Besides, the broken sword is said to be broken at the back, so it must not be a good thing, and the quality is definitely not up to standard! If someone hadn't already used it to create momentum, and was waiting to pull out this stupid hair to gain fame, she might be a hundred times better than that kind of rags if she casually pulled it out!
"If not, what are we going to do now?"
"Annie, I think we'd better hurry up. If we don't pull out that sword today, maybe those knights will really win a new king by themselves. At that time, things will definitely change. Very troublesome!"
"Also, the king's oath cannot be broken!"
"I have a mission that I have to fulfill. I have only one wish from the very beginning. From the moment I drew my sword, this oath will never change. Even if I start again now, it is still the same !"
For the will to draw that sword, the current Artoria is still very strong!
She believes that she has experienced it once, and this time, she will definitely be able to do better than the last time, and she will definitely do it! In short, she will never let the country fall apart, and the tragic ending of the people's homes being destroyed by internal wars and foreign invasions will never happen again.
"Don't worry!"
"There is no such thing as a mission that must be completed in this world! Sister Damao, let me tell you, don't live in the fate or fantasy woven by others. No one has to complete something or Mission! If you really want to do that, it’s not impossible, but we have agreed, this time, you must do as I say!”
"Hey! This time, let's have a good time!"
(???)?
Annie has already discovered that this era seems to be very unusual, it seems to be the age of mythology? It is also the Age of Gods mentioned by those magicians before, but it doesn't seem to be it? But no matter what, the mystery of this era far exceeds that of Fuyuki City. There must still be many monsters or other powerful existences here, so this world must be very unusual!
Therefore, before she plans to draw the sword, she needs to make some necessary preparations.
"..."
Artoria didn't know what the other party wanted to do, so she could only frown and stand there, standing on the muddy road in front of her stepfather's house, looking at the little girl who was standing on the grass and rubbing the mud all the time .
"Before you draw your sword, we need to find some helpers..."
"Forget it, let's not look for helpers for now, let's find some scumbags first! You are about to become king, how can you not have a single subordinate? Let me tell you, sometimes, scumbags are better than loyal ones." The subordinates are even better, because they only follow your orders when they do things, and never ask whether it is right or wrong!"
Thinking about it, Annie directly took out a large industrial gold nugget produced by the Commonwealth of Heroes Minerals Company from her space pocket. It weighed at least one ton, and it looked square, probably about A cube more than one foot long, wide and high.
puff!
When Annie threw it away, under the huge weight, it was splashed with mud and water, and sank deeply into the soft mud under the grass, only about two-thirds of the volume above were exposed. above the ground.
"..."
"Annie, are you... wanting to hire those useless mercenaries?"
Seeing that the other party took out such a large piece of gold, Artoria was a little surprised, combined with what the other party said just now of 'looking for a dog's leg', she subconsciously thought that the other party must want to use it to hire those unreliable mercenary?
"It's useless, Anne, I don't think hiring those mercenaries would be a good choice!"
"Now I don't need any soldiers! Because, in Camelot City, there are hundreds of elite noble knights and at least two to three thousand regular soldiers. As long as I pull out the sword in the stone, they will You will regard me as the new owner of Camelot, and even the king of Britain!"
"As for those mercenaries, they are greedy, have bad discipline, disobey discipline, have low morale, and have no sense of honor and sacrifice...Guys like that are barely able to serve as caravan guards, but they must be selected as soldiers If not, I'm afraid I won't choose them at this time!"
Looking at such a large piece of gold, such a large sum of money is almost enough for Artoria to recruit and train more than a thousand regular legionnaires after becoming king, and maintain them for at least two or three years.
Therefore, she felt that this piece of gold should not be used to recruit those useless guys who can only be used as cannon fodder, because there is no war now, and there is no need to urgently recruit soldiers!
Instead of wasting it like that, it's better to enrich her finances and relieve financial pressure in the future!
You know, in future wars of conquest, her British Kingdom will be short of money and food. Otherwise, when she marched to expel the barbarians, she would not have done the kind to protect more villages and The people, and went to the helpless behavior of completely exploiting and squeezing one of the villages... Wasn't all this caused by the kingdom being too poor?
Especially in the later period of the war, those family lords treated her, King Arthur, very viciously! Some of them even interrupted the supply of money, food and soldiers that should have continued, which made her feel very embarrassed.
"I'm not going to hire those useless guys!"
"Originally, I wanted to summon a group of fire demons, but I was afraid that they would frighten you timid earthlings, so I decided to directly summon some less scary things to serve as your goons!"
After taking out a total of twenty or thirty huge gold ingots, Annie stopped her hands in the stupefied of a certain fool, and nodded with some satisfaction.
"An, Annie..."
"So much gold, what do you want to do?"
To be honest, Artoria was really frightened by this little guy's way of taking out gold ingots piece by piece!
For such a large piece, there are more than 30 yuan in total, so at least tens of thousands of pounds, right? With so much gold, even when Rome bribed the barbarians to retreat, it was just a few thousand pounds of gold, right? And here, so many are taken out at once...
If all these were given to her, she would be sure to build Britain into a prosperous country! Even, she can directly use them to buy a large piece of land in the declining Western Roman Empire and become a lord or king by herself, without having to draw a sword or anything.
"Of course it's for you to summon some dog legs!"
"Since you said that there are only about two or three thousand troops in that city, then it should be almost enough if I get you a hundred of the most powerful knights?"
"I hope your world doesn't have too many monsters..."
Thinking about it, Annie smiled evilly, and stretched out her little hand to a small mound of dirt in the distance.
Fire Element Forging Pool! High-level magical wisdom bestowed!
In the next moment, a huge red magic circle lit up under the mound and spun at a high speed, and soon after, the entire mound was gradually melted by the hot red magic energy emitted by the magic circle, and soon , it turned into a roaring magma pool like a big red pool!
At the same time, Anne waved her hand, and under the control of the mage's hand, those gold ingots piled up like hills were piled up piece by piece under Artoria's exclamation and distressed eyes, which was very wasteful. Throwing it into the magma pool...
In fact, if there is a large amount of steel, it is also possible to use steel.
But the reason for using these now is that there is really no way... Who made Annie's space bag so poor that there is only a lot of gold left? Maybe, next time, when she goes back to the Puruk star region, she will only want some high-grade alloys instead of those useless yellow industrial raw material ingots?
"!!"
"It, they are..."
Following Annie's operation, when the first humanoid red lava-like monster stood up in the magma pool, and then a war horse also made of magma appeared under the opponent's crotch, a certain fool exclaimed One sound. Although they also have human form, facial features and hands and feet, Artoria can tell at a glance that it is definitely a monster, and it is definitely not a kind creature!
"Of course they are the obedient dog legs I found for you. They are actually almost the same as those chess pieces, except that they are bigger and stronger!"
While talking, more ferocious lava knights began to appear one by one in the magma pool.
This is a fire elemental creature created by Anne directly with her powerful magic power, just like the fire element created by the land of flames, and then endowed with advanced magical wisdom like those magic chess pieces. But they are not complete fire elemental creatures, they are just some consumables for fighting, and they also have a self-repairing magic circle and impressive power like chess pieces.
"Annie... I think, I would rather have those mercenaries without honor than lead them and these monsters in front of other people!"
Artoria bit her lip and said firmly, there is no room for compromise on this matter!
She can even imagine now that once she really dares to lead these monsters close to the city of Camelot and appear in front of the people of Camelot, let alone she wants to draw her sword and enter the city to become king, I am afraid that those knights and The soldiers will immediately organize a crusade against this 'witch' who is not a witch, right? !
"Don't worry, isn't this not finished yet?"
"Otherwise, do you think I just threw so much gold in for fun?!"
Annie glared at the other party angrily, and then, she snapped her fingers, not knowing what she had done, the golden liquid melted by the high temperature automatically swept over the hideous fire elemental knights one by one.
Then soon, knights who were covered in golden exquisite fully-enclosed plate armor, and could not even see clearly, held long golden lances in their hands, broadswords on their waists, and The fire-elemental warhorses who were also hidden in the golden armor stepped out of the magma pool one by one, and soon began to line up in front of the two of them.
And when Annie finally stopped the magic circle, a whole hundred ferocious, mighty, tall and ferocious knights in golden armor appeared neatly in front of them, one big and one small!
"Not bad!"
After casually glancing at the neatly arranged cavalry phalanx, Annie nodded in satisfaction. Although these guys are useless against powerful beings, they are just some bluffing things, but if they deal with ordinary troops, they must be more than enough, and they must be qualified to be dog legs or something!
"..."
Artoria didn't speak, and didn't bother to look at the magma pool that was gradually cooling over there. She just stared dumbfounded at the hundred golden armored knights who looked extremely fierce and strong standing in front of her.
Although, she had also seen how the other party made that kind of chess, and knew that those chess pieces could move and talk, but at the time, she thought it was just some kind of useless trick...
But now, when they are enlarged and armed, they look so terrifying? It's just that I don't know how the fighting power is, but... thinking about the hot body full of magic and magma in their armor, it must be very powerful, right? It seems good to have such a seemingly powerful army?
"Okay, you're done!"
"Let's go, Sister Dumao! The dog legs are already in place, let's draw our swords immediately, occupy that city and become a tyrant. From now on, they will be your royal guards!"
Whoever dares to have an opinion, whoever dares to object, he will be hacked to death!
Of course, Annie definitely wouldn't say such words casually, as long as she knew what the meaning was, that's all. Don't worry too much about the rest. Now look at it, starting with an archmage plus a hundred powerful fire elemental knights, no matter how you play, it will definitely not crash!
Her Majesty Queen Anne is going to flatten the British Isles, and then cross the sea to destroy the Roman Empire, destroy the Huns, and occupy all the territories in Europe, so that she will know how to be a king! Then... Well, now they only have a hundred senior soldiers provided by themselves, so don't think too much about other things.
"Violent, tyrant?!"
"No! Annie, it's okay to let them be my bodyguards, I agree! I will definitely go to draw a sword or something, but if it is a tyrant, then absolutely not!"
After recovering for a while, Arturia quickly waved her hands at the little girl beside her.
At the same time, the stupid hair on her head stood up a little from the fright... She returned to the day of the king's election this time, really only to save Britain, her country and her people, and definitely not to be a What a so-called tyrant!
She, Artoria? How could Pendragon be a tyrant, absolutely not, she should be a wise and loved king! This time, it will definitely be.
"Do not worry about it!"
"Anyway, it's mine if you lose, you just have to listen to me and do it, even if you mess up in the end, it doesn't matter! The big deal, let's do it all over again, and when the time comes, I can let you continue to play a few more times ?”
Anyway, Annie still has a lot of time gems, which can not only be used to read files, but also can be used as regret medicine, casually and vigorously! Besides, the reason why she came back with this stupid hairy king this time is just to verify the previous dispute between the two of them. If she is still allowed to play according to the predetermined track, what's the point?
This time, she had to act according to Queen Anne's wishes and instructions, otherwise, she wouldn't accompany her here and be treated like a monkey by some guys!
"..."
Artoria hesitated in her heart, she believed in the other party's ability and guarantee, but...she always felt that if she followed the other party's words, something would definitely happen! This little guy doesn't know what's going on in his mind, why did he say that he wants to be a tyrant?
"Okay, stop whining, as long as you listen to me, you'll be right!"
"Now, quickly, summon your armor or something, and go out dressed like this, others will definitely laugh at you!"
When everything was ready, Annie urged impatiently to the Dumb Hairy King who was still a little hesitant. As long as the opponent transforms into that gorgeous armor and gets a horse, today's big show can officially begin!
Presumably by now, someone in the city must have been waiting for this fool, and they were a little impatient?
"..."
"I'm not a heroic spirit anymore, I can't change my armor..."
O(╯□╰)o
After clenching her fists, Arturia looked at Anne with a mournful face, and said with a wry smile.
She just tried it, and now, she is just the fifteen-year-old girl Arthur, not a heroic Saber at all, without the help of the Holy Grail, she can't use the special ability of that battle attire at all.
"Oh! I forgot!"
After finishing speaking, Annie quickly took out a holy sword in a golden blue scabbard, and stuffed it directly into the opponent's arms.
"If you take it, you should have the ability to dress at any time!"
This is the holy sword and scabbard that Anne forcibly withheld when she came over from the main plane before resurrecting the other party. The holy sword turned into a treasure has been transformed by her, and it can continue to exist without the help of the Holy Grail or the Seat of Heroes, and the scabbard, it really exists, can be used in different planes. use, so there is no need to change it.
"..."
"Wait! Annie, I seem to have found a big problem!"
After using the power of the Holy Sword to put on the iconic blue white-bottomed battle dress and silver tight-fitting armor in an instant, Artoria suddenly seemed to realize that something was wrong...
"The sword you gave me..."
"I have the holy sword and scabbard here now... and there is another one in the churchyard...the fairy in the lake should also have it...then how many holy swords are there in this world?"
Looking at the holy sword and scabbard in his hand, Dai Mao suddenly felt a little at a loss. It seems that things are a little messed up now?
"Isn't it just a broken handle? What's the big deal, if there are more, there will be more!"
Annie didn't mind this matter at all. It's not like she can't make things like that. She can have as many things as she wants! Anyway, it's not the first time she has done something like stealing the world's energy, but she is very familiar with it!
"Let me see, now you should be just short of a more stylish mount!"
"Tell me, do you want a flying dragon or a white tiger? Or a night saber or something? Of course, I also have a tall and mighty two-headed hellhound. If you are not afraid of roasting your ass, so are the fire eagles. available."
The last step is the matter of poor mounts. After all, now, leading such a large number of tall and mighty knights in golden armor, it would be a bit unattractive if the master, the king of dull hair, wanted to walk. As a king, how can he drive the carriage of No. 11 like the Diao fans on the earth?
Flattening her mouth, Annie felt that she had indeed surfed the Internet a lot during the meeting at the Bear Shield Bureau, and was polluted by the dross thoughts of the people on Earth, which is very serious!
"..."
"Give me a better war horse? Preferably... white?"
Artoria didn't dare to mess around, all she needed now was an obedient war horse.
Of course, she absolutely doesn't want that kind of monster horse over there, she can never accept letting herself ride a monster! And things like flying dragons, that...at least not yet, it's too eye-catching, it's not good!
"You are so boring!"
"Let me take a look first... In which world can I get you a war horse..."
Annie began to think a little angrily. If she wasn't afraid that the style of painting was not right, she could just get a siege tank or land combat vehicle or something. Once the bombardment hits it, no matter what kind of enemy it is, it will still be a city. It's all over!
However, Annie obviously wouldn't do that kind of thing easily, because it would be too boring.
"Yes! I figured it out!"
After thinking hard for a while, Anne suddenly opened a small portal leading to Middle-earth, and then grabbed something and pulled it to her side, and soon Just before some bearded old man noticed, he closed it.
"Here!"
"This is a Myanas horse. It is said that it is a descendant of the golden-hoofed white horse Naha, the god of hunting Olomi. It is the fastest and strongest horse in the Middle-earth world, and it is also a mythical beast! It seems Its name is Jieying or something, and it was originally the mount of a very bad old man!"
"But now, that strange old man is dying, so it belongs to you!"
This is obviously nonsense, Gandalf is Maia, how can he die?
But Annie didn't like that strange old man anyway, so she stretched out her tender white fingers, pointed at the tall and majestic white horse who was a little at a loss and didn't know what happened, and said. She had ridden this guy before, and naturally remembered him, so she just caught him this time.
Although the opponent has no ability and has no advantages other than running fast, he is still a beast anyway. Whether or not some heretic named Gandalf will go all over the world to find it is none of Anne's business.
"What a beautiful mare..."
Artoria took a few steps forward in surprise. She is a knight, so of course she understands and likes war horses very much! And now this horse is the best one she has ever seen in her previous life and this life! Therefore, she wanted to touch the other party and try to communicate, but unfortunately, the steed snorted and showed a ferocious look, and its front hooves kept digging the ground, obviously directly rejecting her.
"No, Annie, it already has an owner, and it doesn't want me to get close to it."
Shaking her head, Artoria quickly withdrew her hand and took a few steps back. After leaving the horse's attack range for the first time, she said to Annie with some regret.
As the future King of Knights, of course she knows the meaning of the horse's body language just now... Therefore, although she has some regrets and resentments in her heart, she still has to express respect for the other party's wishes and does not want to forcibly conquer or ride the other party .
"Look at mine, I'll 'convince' it for you now!"
Seeing that this guy dared to disrespect her so much, Annie took a few steps forward angrily, and then walked up to the huge head of the Jieying horse, pointing angrily at the big white horse face of the other with doubts. said:
"You must still recognize me, right? My name is Annie, and I used to ride you in that grassland called Rohan!"
"I know you can understand people's language, and now I solemnly inform you: either, you will use her as a mount; or, I will roast you and eat you, you can choose one yourself!"
Just as Annie finished speaking, the war horse suddenly let out a loud snort, and took a few steps back in panic. Obviously, it is now remembering who the little girl in the red dress is.
"Very good, you seem to remember me! Now, tell me your choice, and I'll give you three seconds to think about it!"
"three!"
"two!"
In the palm of Annie's palm, a red fireball began to appear, and it just spun in the small palm like that, emitting terrifying and frightening surging energy.
Boo Boo Boo!
Soon, after a mournful cry, the white war horse trotted to the side of the dull-haired King Artoria, who was already somewhat sluggish, then obediently lowered its originally noble head, and rubbed vigorously against it. Looking at the back of the opponent's hand, it is obvious that it has now recognized its master again, and it is useless to persuade it!
"Look, it's very simple, I've 'convinced' it!"
(?????)
There is absolutely nothing that cannot be accomplished when Lady Queen Anne steps out.
She is the best at persuading a wise horse to accept its owner! Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail, because even if you fail, you can add a meal to yourself, it's always good! She has eaten the divine deer like the one in Middle-earth, but she has never eaten the divine horse or something. She is so rare!
"..."
(*???*)
"You still have to wait, before you go, untie your hair for me!"
To be a king, you still have to secretly wear a tomboy hairstyle that is neither male nor female, as if you are afraid that others will know that she is a girl. Anne has long been very dissatisfied with this matter!
Whether it's a queen, a cute girl, or a female head of state, she's been there before, and she hasn't seen anyone dare to oppose her. Therefore, she absolutely cannot accept the matter of this dumb-haired princess pretending to be a man and claiming the title of king.
"!!"
"No! This is absolutely impossible! The current era of kingship is not more than one or two thousand years away. They definitely cannot tolerate a woman in charge of a vast territory and many knights!"
"If they know my true identity, I will never be able to become king again!"
Seeing that the other party was about to untie her blue hairband, Arturia quickly covered her head with both hands, unwilling to show her feminine side no matter what.
She knew better than anyone else that if she really untied her hair and pulled out a sword as a woman, let alone whether she could still get close to it, even if she really pulled out that sword, those Surely the knights would not support her, right?
She still remembers until now that in the past, not long after she became the king, someone questioned Artoria's overly soft face and wanted to check her real gender... But now, if If I really untie my hair, there will definitely be a big incident, this will definitely happen, there is no chance of any luck!
"Of course I know!"
"Otherwise, do you think I just summoned these one hundred flame knights for what? They are used to show you a good look?"
They were actually used by Annie to be used as dog legs, and later to suppress those bad guys who dared to oppose Sister Dumbao's claiming the king! As long as it's against Daimao, it's all bad guys, and as long as it's bad guys, let those bastards deal with them.
At that time, those flame knights who should fight, kill, and have no human feelings will definitely not be merciful!
"Today you have to draw your sword directly as a woman! Also, even if you wear a headband, you are so cute, you will definitely not be a boy! So, you will definitely not be able to deceive others , then don’t tie it up at all, untie it quickly!”
Annie has long been dissatisfied with the saying that women cannot be kings in this world. Now, it is time to verify it. How could she easily give up on such a fun thing?
In short, King Arthur is absolutely not allowed to have anything, but if it is Queen Artoria, she can!
"No! That will have serious consequences!"
"Don't try to lie to me, I have hidden them from those people for many years before!"
Opposition, ridicule, even rebellion and attack...
Arturia could already imagine that if she really pulled out the Sword in the Stone as a woman and demanded to be king, it would be obvious what would happen afterwards! At that time, even if I can control the capital city of Camelot, none of the other lords in other places will obey her orders, right?
Maybe, those lords will directly unite to attack her, so that the country will be in turmoil, and the tragic ending of the people's livelihood will appear in advance? In addition, the Saxon barbarians in the north are now preparing to invade, and she can now infer and imagine what tragic things will happen at that time.
"How serious can it be, anyway, those guys can't beat you!"
In fact, with the help of those one hundred flame knights, it is possible to directly suppress and attack the distant city by force. As for how to govern and occupy it after it is defeated, that is not something Anne needs to consider.
Therefore, now Anne still prefers that the other party use her identity as a woman to draw the sword, and then become the queen in a legitimate way, and then, whoever dares to refuse to accept it will be suppressed! That's right, this is the way to do it, I feel a little excited when I think about it!
(???)
"They will definitely not support me. Once they unite against me, the whole country will be in chaos..."
"Expel those who don't support, kill those who oppose, this world will be all yours!"
"Where can it be like this?"
"Why not?"
"It's wrong to do that!"
"That's right!"
"ah!!"
"Aha, look, I have untied it, how beautiful it is! Get on the horse, let's set off now, draw the sword and become king!"
"..."
"If I don't come up, I'll roast your horse! Let me tell you, I didn't have enough for lunch just now!"
————
Although Camelot, the royal city of Britain, looks a bit small now, with a small population, it probably looks like a slightly larger town, but there is no doubt that it is indeed a population of nearly 10,000. It is a big city in this era!
It has the common features of all the cities of this era: various stone and wooden houses of different sizes, narrow cobblestone streets, the king's (city lord) castle in the middle of a small town (town), residential areas, commercial areas, military camps, stables, etc. Concepts and churches and other facilities!
Of course, the other church with the sword in the stone is actually outside the city, not far from the west wall. After all, no one would be willing to bury the dead in the city, not to mention whether the now dead King Uther would object, even ordinary residents would certainly not be happy for such a thing to happen.
But today, it was very lively outside Camelot City, and many citizens or townspeople ran out to watch the excitement!
Because, because of yesterday and today, when countless knights failed many times before the sword of choosing the king, they gave up the prophecy that they originally planned to follow-'the one who pulls up the holy sword is the king', and planned to use a more capable sword. Embody their brave ways to choose kings.
So, now they are gearing up one by one to change places to prepare for group competitions, and compete in bow and arrow, swordsmanship, horseback riding and hacking, etc., so that the strongest knight among all the knights will become their knight king!
For this matter, the residents of Camelot are also happy to see it happen.
Because, watching a group of people take turns drawing their swords is completely meaningless! And if, watching a group of people fight each other for the throne, it must be very interesting! That way, the new king can brag to his subjects that he became king after defeating other valiant knights in the kingdom!
And this can make other people feel more convinced and can better declare the king's bravery.
"..."
"What's the matter, Knight Kai! Where's your weapon?"
"Could it be... You want to compete with me empty-handed? If that's the case, I think, I'd be happy to beat you to the point where you won't be able to get up for a long time!"
Percival waved a sword in his hand, and looked at Kai, the son of Sir Hector opposite him, with some playfulness. He was very dissatisfied with the other party's continued delay of time!
Because, the reason why the opponent asked him to delay the game was that he simply forgot to bring his sword? Do you need to wait until the other party's attendant runs home, and wait until you get it before competing?
"snort……"
"Percival, the son of King Parino, I don't think that irascibility and sarcasm are the virtues that a knight should have!"
Kai looked in the direction of his home in the distance. There, he still didn't see the figure of his foster brother Arthur. The other party ran back to get him a sword. Logically speaking, he should have come back at this time. Yes, because his home is actually not too far from here.
"It's ridiculous!"
"I only saw that you, as a knight, go out without your own weapons. Is this the virtue that you Calome knights should have?!"
That's right, Percival is not a knight here in Camelot, he came here for the name.
Because before this, the king of Parino heard about Camelot's drawing of the sword to choose the king, and then hurriedly sent his son Percival here to participate. After all, if they were accidentally pulled out, wouldn't their Parino have earned a kingdom for nothing, and lost a son who divided the property and territory?
So, Percival came here...
It's a pity that whether it was yesterday or today, after several experiments, Percival found that no matter how hard he tried, the broken sword that seemed to be rusted in the crevices of the stone could not be pulled out! So, now the sword drawing competition has naturally turned into a group fight... However, it is a pity that when the other groups have reached the stage of riding and slashing, their group is still stuck in the swordsmanship competition.
Is this just because the Kalome knight Kai opposite him didn't remember to bring his long sword when he went out, so he asked the prince of Parino to wait for a while?
"Actually, I originally thought so..."
"Before, I planned to draw the sword in the stone and become your new king! Because then, I wouldn't need to take another sword with me! You know, as a knight, I take two swords when I go out. It would be very rude to hold a sword! But where did I think that there seems to be something wrong with the sword, it was stuck too tightly due to your messing around, and I really can't pull it out for a while ...So, I have let you down, Your Excellency Percival."
Shrugging his shoulders, Kai said nonchalantly with his empty hands outstretched.
Just now, they competed in archery, the results of the two sides were evenly divided, and no one was convinced by the other, but now, if he did not have a familiar and convenient long sword in the swordsmanship competition, then he himself would definitely not be the one. The opponent's opponent!
Therefore, he didn't want to admit defeat easily, so he hurriedly urged his skinny foster brother Arthur to run home to get it. Moreover, he was not even willing to give his horse to the other party, because after the swordsmanship competition, he would have to compete on horseback, slash and spear, and he didn't want to waste the precious physical strength of his horse.
"Kay! Please don't delay!"
"Even if I stand in front of you as a knight right now, I won't be able to wait for you all day. You should just find a sword and try it with me!"
Percival looked into the distance, and someone had already decided the winner of the first round. If their group didn't hurry up, maybe those guys would think they had abstained and be eliminated. unacceptable!
"No no no!"
"Dear Sir Percival, if I can't use my best sword to fight you with all my strength, it will be an insult to you! As an honorable knight, I will never allow myself to make such a violation Come on about knightly honor and chivalry!"
Without even thinking about it, Kai justly and categorically rejected the other party's proposal.
Anyway, today, if he couldn't get his own sword, he would rather be regarded as having to abstain and lose the game than to be defeated in battle because of a weapon problem!
If that was the case, it would make him even more ashamed.
"..."
Percival really wanted to say 'please don't mind, please feel free to insult me'!
However, the knights in this era are still very shameless, and the term 'knight' has a high gold content. He will definitely not be able to do some honorless and irresponsible words, or shameless behavior.
"Kai! I'll give you a little more time, wait until the sun rises in the middle, if you haven't decided to compete with me, you will lose!"
Therefore, he had no other choice but to hold back his anger and wait patiently. Hopefully, the other knights won't choose the strongest knight so quickly, right?
Otherwise, he might have been busy in vain these two days!
He, Percival, came to Camelot just to get the vacant throne of Camelot, not to be someone else's foil!
"Oh no!!"
"It's not good...Everyone, everyone, stop quickly, don't compare, now something big has happened!!!"
At this time, an armored knight shouted loudly from a distance, and galloped towards the horse. After the citizens who were frightened by the onlookers gave way, he suddenly reined in the horse's reins and forcibly moved in front of the knights. It stopped here in the middle of the playing field.
This is actually because, just now, after he lost the game and was quickly eliminated, he secretly ran to the churchyard in anger after losing the game, as if he was going to see if he could get away with pulling out the stone sword? But who would have thought that when he got there, he would see something extraordinary?
So, in a hurry, he rushed here to report to the knights who were in the game.
"What's the matter?"
"Didn't you already lose just now, why did you come back to make trouble?"
"Isn't he the useless Dagonit?"
"That's right, it's him, a guy with no skills, maybe the most 'interesting' knight among us."
"What can happen now? Even if the barbarians from the north call, they can't reach Camelot in the south so quickly, right?"
"..."
Seeing someone rushing in on a horse, and it sounded like there was indeed something important, many people had to stop from the fencing or riding competitions, and pulled up their visors one after another, as if they wanted to listen What on earth is there for the other party to interrupt this very important king-selection contest?
"Something really happened!"
"A... a guy named Artoria, she claims to be the heir of King Uther, and now she is leading a group of golden knights to surround the churchyard. She, she will draw her sword and become king!"
"And! That sword was really pulled out by her!"
Dagonit panted heavily, and spoke hastily.
This matter was really too explosive, so after seeing those mighty and majestic knights in golden armor and the girl pulling out the sword in the stone, he exclaimed, and ran away in a hurry without looking at anything else. After returning, he ran to the competition venue to inform the knights.
Now, people have even drawn out the 'Sword of King Selection', what's the point of these guys still relying on competing here? !
"Impossible! How could someone really be able to pull out that broken sword? Isn't it sealed in a crack in the stone?!"
"That's right! I've tried so many times, and it just won't budge!"
"There must be something wrong with that sword, it's impossible to pull it out!"
"..."
"Could it be that we are so busy working in vain today? Is this martial arts competition really counting?!"
"Hmph! I just want to become king after drawing a sword. No matter what, I can't easily accept this result!"
"Me neither!"
"But...if we refuse to admit it, it seems to be against the way of knights!"
"..."
Soon, the knights who stopped fighting and competing each other began to whisper to each other. They were talking loudly and expressing their dissatisfaction.
Especially those knights who have advanced to the first round and are about to start the second and third rounds. Compared with the unreliable sword drawing competition, the current head-to-head competition based on strength is obviously more convincing to them And more able to accept the new king thus elected!
"wait!"
"If we heard correctly, you were talking about... her? Not him?!"
At this time, Percival Knight, who had been confronting Kay all the time, could not proceed with the match, so he heard the other party's words clearly from the beginning to the end, so he frowned and asked slowly and cautiously, which made him feel that it might be very difficult. serious matter.
If he heard correctly just now, then today, there seems to be a good show to watch!
"That's right! It's her, a woman, about ten years old, who looks weaker than me!"
"Just now I saw that she pulled out the sword in the stone for choosing the king, then swung it, and then inserted it back again! Now, it should be there waiting for us to kneel down to her and become king! "
Dagonit said with some annoyance.
The Sword of King Selection, which he couldn't even pull out himself, was pulled out by a thin woman. Let's not talk about this matter, anyway, he Dagonit definitely can't accept it! He admitted that he couldn't beat other knights in a fight... However, he absolutely couldn't accept that he couldn't even draw a sword but a woman!
How could he, Dagonite Knight, lose to a woman? This thing is absolutely impossible!
"It's so unreasonable! How could we, Camelot, let a woman be king? Who does she think she is?"
"That's right! The king of Camelot must not be a woman!"
"Hmph! Who is here to make trouble for Camelot?"
"Don't talk about it, everyone, let's see together!"
"Yes! Let's go and have a look together!"
"Everyone, get on your horses and go to the cemetery of the church on the west side to see the situation. Hurry up!"
Soon, a large group of noble knights, plus those citizens who heard more interesting news, turned around clamoring and ran quickly towards the church outside the city to the west! Sure enough, after drawing the sword to choose the king and contesting the king, something more fun and interesting finally happened in the ownerless Camelot.
As for whether those knights are angry or what they think, the citizens of Camelot don't want to know, they just know that as long as they run faster and don't fall too far behind those heavy armored knights on horseback, they will definitely be able to see them. Eye-opening thing!
