Davian Holy Grail War
Page 25
They had all thought it was a life-or-death battle, but they had not expected that under the leadership of our king, they would achieve such a great victory with such a small loss. This was the proof of King Arthur's destiny and his kingship!
"You're here, Davian." After ordering others to clean up the battlefield, Altria came to Davian, put the Sword of Choice back into its scabbard, and then dismounted.
She knew that Davian would not let him down.
"My apologies, my king. I actually arrived a few days ago, but if my few men had joined yours earlier, the battle would have turned into a stalemate.
This was not a good thing, so I lay in ambush and waited for the opportunity to join the battle, and as you can see, it really played a decisive role. "
The purple-black magic power on Davian dissipated, and Artoria saw his true face again. He looked much more tired than last time, and it was obvious that the long journey had cost him a lot of energy.
Arturia smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't matter, your contribution to this war is very great. Come, come to the city. Since you won, there will always be a celebration banquet, so let me take care of you. ."
"Before that, I have someone I want to introduce to you." After saying that, Davian waved towards the distance.
The one-armed knight immediately rode over on his horse, his cloak still stained with blood, but it was all the enemy's, not his own.
"Bedivere, you know who this is without me telling you. If you have anything to say, just say it now."
Following Davian's words, Bedivere immediately dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of Altria.
Bedivere said in a sincere and humble tone:
"Unworthy knight, Bedivere. King Arthur, I have seen what you have done and heard your thoughts. Now I want to truly join your army and fight for your ideals."
But Altria smiled and helped him up. She said calmly:
"Bedivere, huh? Before you really make up your mind, please celebrate today's victory with us.
I commend your bravery today, but I hope you will think carefully before making a decision about your loyalty. We will embark on a very difficult road in the future. Please give me an answer after careful consideration. Okay?"
A look of emotion appeared in Bedivere's eyes. If it were anyone else, they would probably be ecstatic to have someone to support them in this difficult time.
But Altria in front of him was still very calm, and she was thinking about him, hoping that he could make a choice more calmly. How could such a king not be worthy of his loyalty?
But he still decided to obey King Arthur's wishes and think carefully about whether to join after some calm thinking and observation. Even the final answer, he already knew it at this time.
Chapter 57 Celebration Banquet
That night, the entire city of Carrion was in a carnival. Such a great victory was undoubtedly very inspiring. Davian could hardly guess how many knights and people would come to King Arthur after today.
The reason for all this is just a chosen sword, a great victory against the coalition of six kings.
Merlin's methods were indeed brilliant, and King Arthur's reputation would probably spread across the whole of Britain by now.
Of course, the townspeople would not feel this. After the servants cleaned up the battlefield and dealt with the bodies of the dead.
Although many people were sad because they had lost their family members or friends, the overall atmosphere in the town was still happy.
This is truly a great victory of the few over the many, and it can even be said to be a perfect case.
In the meeting room, Kai and Merlin sat on the left and right of Altria, while Davian and Bedivere sat diagonally opposite her.
After all, in terms of time, Davian had just joined the group, and although Bedivere had not officially joined yet, the fact that he could sit here also explained his answer and Altria's answer.
The small round table was filled with the five of them. Compared to the lively celebrations of the townspeople outside, they were much calmer. After all, although the people outside could relax, they could not.
Food and wine were placed in front of everyone. Arturia raised her glass first: "Everyone, I salute you all. Thank you for your contribution in today's battle. This is a victory that belongs to everyone."
The four of them raised their glasses in response at the same time, and then drank the wine in their glasses. Kai wiped his mouth and spoke first:
"Everyone, even though we won today, the five kings will definitely regroup their troops. Next time, there won't just be 8,000 men. I'm afraid it will be many times more than this time. We must be prepared. I'm afraid by then, the war will be much more difficult than it is now."
"Sir Kai is right. Those people will not give up. King Yuruns and King Loth are very prejudiced against me. I'm afraid they will really fight me to the death. Merlin, do you think you can divide them from within?
When I was fighting today, I noticed that King Nantes stayed behind and did not directly participate in the battle. Perhaps their alliance is not unbreakable. "
Altria asked Merlin this, it was troublesome to deal with so many enemies at once.
And although necessary killings are acceptable, if wars can be reduced, it will be a good thing for Britain as a whole. Arturia hopes that she can only fight necessary wars to give farming and people more time to recover and rest.
Merlin shook his head and said what he was thinking or what he had prepared:
“Not yet, King. This is a great victory, but the scale of this war is not large enough. The kings have suffered losses, but they are just losses.
After those five men divide up the land, people, soldiers and supplies of the fallen Scottish king, they will probably gather a larger army. Only by hurting them all can we find a chance to divide them up. "
Davian nodded, although he knew that this was Merlin's plan, and there was also an element of showmanship in it. But Merlin's overall opinions and strategic guidelines are undoubtedly correct. If he can proceed step by step like this, he believes that defeating Vortigerndu is only a matter of time.
"But because of this war, King Arthur's fame will probably spread throughout Britain. My king, our situation will probably be much better than it is now.
Since you have chosen to put an end to Vortigern's dark rule and won the unjust war launched by the kings against you, many people with lofty ideals will make a choice. In fact, they may already be on their way here. "
But Bedivere still has great hope for the future, and today's battle is undoubtedly a good one.
"Don't interrupt, Bedivere. Newcomers should act like newcomers.
Moreover, if so many people really come, armor, weapons, food, and living quarters are all issues that need to be solved. It is difficult for the current Carien City to bear so many people. "
Kai became serious after hearing what Bedivere said. There was no internal affairs officer in Carien City now, and he was the only one who was supporting the city before Davian came. Hearing that many people might come, Kai said he had a headache.
Davian smiled and came out to smooth things over. Kai Qing was really something, he had already revealed the information between the lines:
"Don't worry, Lord Kai. I believe there will be solutions to all those problems. Let's just accept those who may come to join the army according to the current reserves of Carien City.
While expanding the army, it also expanded to the surrounding areas.
Since we claim to be the king of Britain, then showing off our power in a mere city like Carrion is not our goal. Isn't Londinium of the humble king Vortigern our goal?"
At this point, he paused as if he suddenly thought of something. Davian suddenly said to everyone:
"And when the result of this battle is known, one of my good friends will come. My king, you will be happy to meet my friend. I assure you that he is a humble and brave knight."
Among the people present, Bedivere and Kay were curious about his words. People who can become good friends must also be similar people, so who is the person Davian is talking about?
Altria nodded, "I understand. If you say so, then of course I will choose to believe it. The expansion of the armaments will be entrusted to Davian and Lord Kai, and the material trade will be entrusted to Merlin.
Bedivere... Could you please take charge of the training of the new recruits, please?"
Compared to Davian who accepted his mission so easily, Bedivere, who had just arrived, was entrusted with an important task all of a sudden, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
This not only represents that Artoria accepts him as a member of her team, but also represents Artoria's trust in him and her belief that he can complete the tasks entrusted to him well.
Davian also patted his back gently, and the two of them turned to look at each other at the same time, with admiration in their eyes.
"I understand, and I will definitely complete the task entrusted by the king." Bedivere said that he will definitely complete the task entrusted by the king. If he cannot do these things well, he will be unworthy of the entrustment of the king.
"Well, everyone, I'll leave the rest to you. After today, please make every effort to prepare for the future."
Altria made her final request, and the people present understood the importance of the matter and would not be perfunctory. Even Merlin knew that he had to work hard at this time, otherwise he would most likely be thrown into the darkness.
When everyone ended the meeting, Davian remained where he was, silently bringing the food in front of him to Artoria. Arturia immediately blushed with embarrassment, why would he know that?
"Eat. For someone like you who has a heart like a dragon, I can probably guess how big your appetite is.
I don't know if it's enough, but you can take my portion. When Sir Lancelot comes and the supplies are sufficient, you can have a good meal."
Chapter 58 There will be time later
"Sir Lancelot, will the Knight of the Lake come?" Arturia slowly ate Davian's portion of food. She ate very slowly, obviously cherishing every bite of food.
Davian nodded. "Yes, he is not the kind of person who does not keep his promises. Since you have made a name for yourself, then according to the agreement between Benwick and I, he will definitely come.
But I don't know how much supplies he will bring, because I can't figure out the exact amount, you know, I have no experience in this area.
If I take less, I will be looked down upon, but if I take more, I will be accused of being greedy. I cannot let this happen."
This was what Davian thought of, and he was somewhat vague at the time, without being too detailed. He could only hope that Lancelot knew what was going on here and brought more things.
"I heard that French food is much better than British food. Is that true?"
Altria said this suddenly, and Davian looked at her in surprise after hearing her words, and then he reacted.
That's right, Altria is younger than me. She can make herself look like a king, but she is still very young and not that old.
So he nodded and said, "Of course, I also ate the royal cuisine there when I was in Cornwall.
But when I arrived in France, I felt that the British cuisine was simply not good.
The same materials, but the way they are made feel completely different from what we make here.”
Arturia looked a little unbelievable, and she quickly asked: "Is the difference that big? I think the food I eat now is much more delicious than before."
When Davian heard her words, he suddenly felt sad.
She used to sleep less than three hours a day, and there wasn't even a bed for her to sleep in. She just spent those few simple hours in the stable.
Because she knew that in her dream she still had a lot to do and a lot to learn.
When she woke up, she had to deal with a series of daily things. She had never even left Britain. To be honest, her life in those eleven years was very difficult.
"I will ask Lancelot to invite a group of French chefs to come here when the time comes. We will capture Lontinium and the city you dreamed of will be built. Then you will know the gap between the two sides."
Davian had always known about Altria's dream - the City of Chalk, Camelot.
"Then I'm really looking forward to it. Keep your word." Artoria was also very happy. She could sense that they were getting closer to their dreams step by step. I hope that the day when the Chalk City is built will come as soon as possible.
The conversation between the two was so intimate, and they both cherished this relaxing chat. Because Davian and Altria both knew one thing, that is, in the future, such time would become less and less.
As they progress, they will have more and more things to do and less and less time for themselves, until the day when it all comes to an end.
But neither of them will regret it. Now that they have embarked on this road, they must go to the end firmly. Both of them believe so.
So after everyone's celebration ended, Davian came to the cemetery, with only his good friend Wen Qinlibu by his side.
He came to the tomb and slowly poured the wine in his hand on the ground as a tribute to the dead soldiers.
It is true that Davidian has joy in his heart today, but not without sadness.
Because more than a dozen people he brought with him were killed.
Some of them were young men from the local towns who followed him in gratitude for his service after he conquered the giants in Brittany, and some were soldiers who pledged their allegiance to him after he wiped out the dragons in Oxford.
But now, these people have left before him.
"Davian, don't ask too much of yourself. When you are trying to achieve something, you can't avoid sacrifice. You have tried your best to kill the enemy. Isn't defeating the enemy the best way to protect your comrades?"
Wen Qinlibu stood beside him and comforted him. He was less concerned about life and death than Davian. After all, they were all mentally prepared to die in battle after following Davian.
Davian turned his head and looked at him. Vincenrib was originally a sergeant under King Nantes. After he defeated Garod's troubling vampire Bavanshi, he resigned from the army and followed him.
Although he is young, he is aware and knowledgeable. Now Wen Qinlibu is basically his deputy.
"You are right. I can accept their sacrifice. But that doesn't mean I can't care. You six hundred people have been with me for a long time.
I treat you sincerely, and you treat me sincerely. Since we have this kind of feelings, I can't downplay these sacrifices. "
At this moment, Daveian's face was as pale as water. After all, humans are emotional animals. He could wantonly wipe out those enemies who had nothing to do with him. But he could not forget the noble sacrifice of his comrades.
He couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic towards Altria. She would have to kill more people who might become her people in order to protect them. It was a consensus that it was impossible to save everyone.
But for those who have been saved, she must bear the regret of not being able to save everyone and continue to swing the sword, and continue to try to save more people.
"I'm afraid I'll have to lead more people to die in the future. Every day from now on may be a good day to sacrifice myself heroically. The responsibility on my shoulders has suddenly become heavier, really..."
Davian smiled calmly at Wenqinlib. Although he was in a heavy mood at the moment, he should not look sad. Together with the will of these dead comrades, they had to continue fighting.
At this time, Wenqinlibu suddenly said: "I used to be very curious about what kind of person would make a knight like you choose to swear allegiance to him until death.
But now after meeting King Arthur and seeing the people of Carrion, I believe your choice is correct.
He is undoubtedly an excellent king who can bring a bright future to Britain. It is our honor to serve such a king, which is much better than losing our lives in vain following those knights. "
"If she wasn't like this, I wouldn't have pledged my allegiance to her. I believed in her ideals and aspirations, and I was determined to follow her after she made her own choice.
Having lived with the people for eleven years, she is much better than those kings who grew up in the palace and never had any contact with the lower classes in their lives."
Davian smiled. This was the decisive difference between Altria and those other kings. It was also more in line with Davian's own understanding, so he could accept it more.
After all, no matter what, Merlin only taught him swordsmanship and knowledge for three years, and failed to distort the values he had learned since childhood.
How can those guys who don't treat people as human beings be in his eyes and become king?
He used to think he had a choice, but now he understands that he had no choice from the beginning.
"Go back and rest. Just be patient today and arrange suitable accommodation tomorrow. I'm sure the next work will be very busy. You have to take responsibility and don't be lazy."
Davian took Winqinlib away. It was already late and they still had a lot of things to do tomorrow.
"Yes!"
There will be time to mourn, to grieve, but now is the time to fight, Davian thought at that moment.
