Chapter 85 Resignation
He used to think he was strong enough to do whatever he wanted, he thought his force could protect all those he cherished.

However, the reality reflects his weak side, and perfectly reflects his weakness, singleness, and conceited ugliness.

Who else could he lose?

Who else can he keep?

The door was opened, and Menechel, who heard the sound, turned his head stiffly. He was unable to open his eyes due to the stimulation of the strong light penetrating through the crack of the door.

If Afriel could assassinate him at this time, then he would be the one sleeping under the frozen soil now.

Menechel couldn't help thinking, he avoided the light source, and continued to stare motionlessly at the blood-stained battle armor piled up in front of him, obviously this set of armor that hadn't been cleaned for a long time was the source of the peculiar smell in the room.

He couldn't see who the person standing outside the door was, and the smell in the room completely sealed Menechel's ability to recognize people by smell.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

"Is the enemy coming?"

For more than ten days in a row, the army stayed in Torun Fangcheng without any movement.I don't know if he heard some news, but this time the nobles in the center of power rarely jumped out and said that he was deliberately rebelling.

"not yet!"

Kai approached Menechel, and the somewhat spoiled bloody smell made him wrinkle his nose.

After identifying the source of the smell, Kai also retracted the sarcastic remarks about "there is a smell in the room" that he was about to blurt out.

Barely distinguishing the identity of the owner of the voice, Menechel's gaze remained dull, but he managed not to drive the person out directly. His voice was low and hoarse, as if separated by a thick layer of cloth: "What are you doing here?"

"Arturia is a little worried about your condition, but she really can't get away, so she asked me to run for you."

Keke couldn't forget the expression on Artoria, who had just returned to the camp from the front line and didn't even have time to wipe off the blood on her body, looking at the "resignation letter" that was rushed to her face with a headache.

In that letter, Menechel resigned from the command of the expeditionary force on the grounds of being seriously ill, and requested to return to his fief, Gallo City, to recuperate.

This negative attitude that didn't even want to return to Camelot City made Artoria send Kai overnight.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Hey, let me say~~" Kai's palm condensed into a flame to disperse the surrounding darkness, and lighted the candle for Menechel. At this time, he was a little surprised to look up and down at the hair boy he hadn't seen for a long time: "You Could it be that you are really sick?"

Kai remembered very clearly that just over a year ago, the high-spirited Menechel still had a head of rare black hair, but now the man sitting in front of the armor seemed to be wrapped in a layer of death, but what remained was nothing but ashes and gray hair. Pale broken hair.

"If you are really sick, remember to ask Mr. Merlin, he will always find a solution, and he is in Camelot right now."

It was precisely because Merlin, an important means of transportation, was absent that Artoria could not come in person.

"It's nothing serious, just rest for a while." Menechel avoided Kai's sight. Most of the reasons for his resignation from the command of the expeditionary force were out of mood, but there were other reasons as well.

On the same day when Avril was buried, he had searched for the reason for Avril's assassination, and the last conversation with Avril was two guard knights in the army, but he did not wait for Menechel to go Talking to these two knights, the two knights suddenly committed suicide.

Most importantly, these two guard knights were transferred from the guards of the royal city, so they could be called members of the royal family.

Speaking of the royal family, Menechel's first reaction was Morgan. After all, she had been with Avriel all day before Morgan left, and no one knew what this witch had done.

What's more, it's not impossible for subordinates to act privately... The housekeeper sent by Arturia also did similar things.

But what if—even though he didn't want to admit it, Menechel was really shaken by it at a certain moment.When he looked back, he realized that he had unknowingly become a new threat in the process of eliminating the Camelot threat.

"Since it's yours, I'm relieved." Menechel closed his eyes again as he said that, and he seemed to finally feel tired and issued an order to evict the guest: "I will announce this later."

Kai nodded, although the smell of corruption in the room made him sick to his stomach, and even though Menechel had clearly shown his intention to drive people away, Kai's feet were rooted in place and remained motionless.

He was still a little worried about Menechel's mental state at this time.

So Kai showed a flattering smile on his face, and he put his hands together to pretend to be pleading: "However, can I ask Lord Menechel to stay in the army for a while, and go to rest after the war is settled?"

In Kay's view, Menechel lacked a way to vent his emotions at this time. Although it sounds a little scary, everyone who has seen Menechel's killing posture will believe that it is harmful for Minechel to vent his force on the enemy. For Cher himself, it is a good way to decompress.

"I'm sorry." Menechel lowered his eyelids, this time he didn't even look at Kai, and reached out to stroke the armor piled up in front of him: "It's hard for me to fight now, I don't even want to wear it." It's hard to act."

Except for the color of his hair, his body is rapidly weakening at a terrible speed, not a curse or an old disease, but pure [aging].

The strength he obtained by oppressing his body will finally be withdrawn on this day. This is probably destiny, he thought so.

……

It was a taboo on the battlefield to change generals just before the battle, not to mention that the knight who was replaced was still the number one knight in Britain.

This news that should have been very hidden started to spread with a wide spread that it shouldn't have.

And there have been countless speculations about why Menechel was removed from his position, but the most widely spread among them is that Menechel was injured and recuperated.

And as the pusher of everything, Morgan was hiding in his small secret room at this time, showing a gratified smile.

She wanted those nobles to spread the word [King Arthur suspects Menechel of treason], but those wastes were afraid of self-defeating and did not want to take the risk.

But this does not prevent Morgan from being complacent.

What is No.1 among the knights, what is an unbreakable shield, Morgan has already made the opponent show fatigue as soon as she made a move.

If it wasn't for that Merlin guy who sealed himself and hid in the tower and refused to come out, Morgan would have to go to him to show off.

Of course Morgan knew that he would inevitably be suspected, but it was enough to keep this guy from retaliating.

Artoria, the kingdom that her stupid younger sister wanted to save was hopeless. Under the appearance of order, it was actually a vortex of intricate contradictions.This thriving country only relies on temporary force suppression, if the force it depends on for survival shows a little weakness, it will immediately fall apart.

 Yesterday that knife drained my energy, now I need to regroup, so a chapter of water
