Davian Holy Grail War
Page 53
But he was just sneering in his heart. Merlin said so, but in fact, this land was not a good place at all at the moment.
This is crucial for the mystery, but for ordinary people...
Bah, what kind of holy place is this? It's just a shabby place that has suffered from successive disasters and is filled with all kinds of deadly monsters.
“So, if someone plans to fill this planet with aether again, his workshop will undoubtedly be located on this island. This is the last relic of the Age of Gods, and it is also an existence that can become the fulcrum for subverting the world.
The Holy Lance was thrust into the world to prevent this from happening. If you want to protect Britain, you must seal off a magical world."
Altria nodded. So that's how it is.
But Davian suddenly recalled something Merlin had told him before. If Morgan was given enough time, she would be able to find a way to lock the mystery of Britain on the surface.
So that's how it is. This holy spear is the anchor that blocks Morgan from thinking of that solution.
"But Merlin, well, the Lance is in my hands. Does that mean the anchor of the world has fallen off?"
Altria asked this again. This was the crux of the matter. After all, she had stabbed many people with this holy spear. Was it not a big deal?
But Merlin just shook his head and explained, "No, the Border Tower is still there. It's just that you're holding it so people can't see it.
The tower of glory beyond the horizon is now in your hands. Don't you feel like you have suddenly become a god? Aren't you happy about this? Hahahaha."
Hearing his laughter, Davian showed a constipated expression. And Artoria was quite mad, she couldn't help but say:
"How is that possible! I'm going to give it back to you right now! Oh no! If I give it to you, you'll definitely find a random rock to stick in it and use it to deceive people just because you think it's fun."
"That's right, so Artoria, just keep that holy spear. Don't give it to anyone who wants to do evil. For example, Vortigern... As long as you don't give it to someone like that. ”
Hearing Vortigern's name, Davian scolded with a dissatisfied tone: "Stop, Merlin! How dare you mention that guy's name in front of this lord!"
A pleasant and rare chat became heavy because of that person's name.
But Artoria was not too angry. She just asked: "Merlin, although it may be a little late to ask now. But what exactly did Vortigern's words before his death mean?"
[Britain will be destroyed, but there is no need to lament. Because you will not see the end of Britain, but you will die because of Britain. ]
This is roughly what the humble king said before his death. Fortunately, the only people who heard these words at that time were Gawain, Lancelot, Tristan, Davian and herself.
After saying that, Vortigern turned into ashes and disappeared.
"Of course. People thought that the war on this island would end after defeating Vortigern, but as you can see, the war is still going on. You have suppressed the current princes on the island with powerful force, which is good.
But what comes after that? The kings outside the island covet Britain, and even Rome. I have to congratulate you for defeating Rome in that way. But I also have to tell you about the future, the war will not stop. "
Merlin's words cast a shadow over Davian and Altria's hearts.
Davian once said when facing Anagumas that my king hopes that all of them can escape from this endless cycle called war.
But they had tried so hard for so long, fighting one war after another, but the result was just as Anagumas said, what awaited them was just the next war.
"Plus, this year is still a disaster year, and next year will be too. You have made contributions, there is no doubt about that. The wars on this island have indeed decreased, but there are still people who are dissatisfied with it.
Why do you go to the battlefield with the determination to die? Of course, it is so that you can live a luxurious life. That's it, you can understand. "
Merlin pointed out the most critical issue of human nature: going to the battlefield is for the reward after the war. But unfortunately, Britain and even King Arthur cannot give anything back to the knights who go to the battlefield.
Davian's First Legion even received the lowest pay in all of King Arthur's army. Even as the main officers, Davian and his men had little private wealth, and they all used it to support their own legion.
"Humans do like the right things, that's true. But humans also hate things that are too right. As long as King Arthur still exists in people's ideals, they will rely on you and alienate you.
This is something you have to endure. Humans are creatures where only one of the rulers and the ruled can be happy. And you chose to make the people happy and yourself miserable. "
After Merlin finished speaking, he looked at Davian.
He could see that Davian was on the verge of exploding, and he was well aware of Davian's own values.
It would be hard for him to tolerate this situation if Altria was not his best friend. He needed to respect Altria's wishes and ideals.
Maybe he would say to Altria - let it go, don't worry about anything, and change to a king and you will be free.
"She is just a human being, but you want her to live like a god?"
Davian looked at Merlin and said these words, with dissatisfaction on his face. This was definitely not the way for a human being to live.
"So many unreasonable things, so many cold-blooded things. I blamed all the bad things on the king without considering the reasons, so that I could feel at ease.
This is the way of life for humans, or in other words, in such an era, ordinary people have no choice. And Artoria can only bear this."
Chapter 124 The comfort women can bring
"I'll fucking punch you twice!" Davian was so angry. It was precisely because he respected Merlin that he could not tolerate Merlin saying that.
Anyway, he had not received any upper-class education. He was as straightforward as he could be when he cursed people, and Merlin's words now angered him.
But Arturia patted Davian on the shoulder to calm him down, and then she said: "In other words, as long as I bear these, at least the people can live easily, right?"
"That's right. You've understood this principle a long time ago, right? It's because you understood this that you drew your sword. Davian has even told you the outcome he saw.
But you still chose to do this, so you should abandon human nature as soon as possible and become a transcendent person like King Uther."
Merlin was sincere here, trying to persuade Altria sincerely. Because it would be much better if it were that way, after all, that was the ideal state for a king.
If you maintain your current state of mind in terms of behavior and abandon those mundane emotions in your heart, you won't have to suffer any more.
"It doesn't matter, we just have to do our best."
Altria laughed heartily, and she laughed with the mentality of being willing to endure all of this. Even though it was painful, it was definitely not something that made her sad.
"Maybe not now, but at least we are working hard to make this country a better country. Maybe, maybe one day this island will become a good country? Become a beautiful country that is not inferior to the legendary Utopia. Are you right? , Davian.”
Altria looked at Davian. They had known each other for more than ten years. Davian had wavered for personal reasons, but after that wavering, he stood firmly by his side.
The two of them now seem to be getting closer and closer to their goal.
Her words suddenly made David's mind clear, and the bottleneck that bound him in his heart disappeared.
He suddenly understood why he went to fight, not just because of Altria's personal charm and the correctness of her wishes.
It was because he wanted to do it himself, and that was his wish, and that was what he thought when he embarked on the journey.
He also once said in front of Morgan in those silent nights that he wanted to save the island, wanted to save these suffering people, and wanted to realize the humble and weak dreams of those people.
But after that he experienced too many bad things, including separation from Morgan, spending year after year in war and death, and gradually becoming numb as his enthusiasm was worn away by endless mundane things.
Because he could not see a bright future, nor did he know whether he could change the tragic and desolate ending on the hill.
So he gradually forgot the ideals he had when traveling in Britain, and only thought about Altria. He was so focused on changing the ending that he forgot everything he had thought about.
But now, with Altria's reminder, he suddenly realized that he was not working hard to do those things just to fulfill Altria's wish.
But he did it because he wanted to do it himself.
"Well, you are right. We have been working hard to make this island a better place. Perhaps one day it will really become a good country in the legendary utopia."
His eyes met with Altria's, and all they saw was the sincerity in each other's hearts.
Merlin looked at the two men and suddenly realized something.
That is what these two people are pursuing, which is completely different from what he thinks.
It seemed that I had underestimated Altria and misjudged Davian.
She did not become depressed and submissive because of this fact, and he did not seem to want to escape back to his own era just because this era was too dark, but instead wanted to actively save everything.
Anyway, as long as they continue to rule and fight like this, they will both understand their limits, she will choose to stop, and he will choose to embark on the journey home.
Then I can stop and end everything...
Merlin felt deeply ashamed for ever having entertained such thoughts.
Perhaps I should do as Davian said and actively look for ways to change the path they will continue on...
But it seems that it is too late...
"You guys are so brave to say utopia or something like that."
Merlin's words attracted the attention of the two, and Davian and Altria were curious about what he wanted to say.
“Even I haven’t been there.”
But in the end, Merlin just said this simple sentence, which was completely different from his usual style.
Then Merlin turned his back to the two of them and looked at the bright moon outside the window. Only then did he smile bitterly.
At this moment, he understood what the small problem was that he had noticed but was not clear about after the day of choosing the king.
[This girl is full of the qualifications of a king. She will become a transcendent like King Uther and usher in the end of Britain. 】
[This boy is just a gift to the girl. Anyway, he will be sent back to his own time one day. 】
[This is such an obvious mistake for human beings, but I still have the audacity to believe that it is right. 】
"Oh, yes. Camelot will be completed soon. It's about time. You should marry Guinevere. Congratulations, Altria.
You are about to marry the Princess of Kemrid, who is renowned throughout Britain for her purity. This is truly a cause for celebration."
Davian suddenly mentioned this matter, which is definitely a good thing for the entire King Arthur's court.
Only when this matter was mentioned, Altria could not control her expression for a moment.
Fortunately, when she covered her mouth, David thought she was just too happy, and he didn't think about those unnecessary things.
Davian truly believed that this was a good thing for King Arthur. The princess would surely understand the king's situation, and she would surely be able to give Altria understanding and nourish her tired heart.
Their marriage will surely inject new vitality into the island, which is definitely a good thing with no harm.
"Alas, although I am your good brother, I believe that there are some feelings that only excellent women can bring to you. I am definitely not capable of that. Guinevere will be a good wife, and she will definitely bring you a lot of emotional comfort."
Compared to the heavy atmosphere just now, David's mood is now much more relaxed because of this happy event. This is a good thing, a happy event that can make people feel at ease.
But Altria didn't know how to react. People who didn't know the truth would think that this was a good thing. From the perspective of this matter itself, this was definitely a good thing.
But this requires sacrificing someone's happiness, sacrificing someone's personal happiness as a woman.
But compared with the benefits that will come, what is personal happiness? This is destined to be a false marriage, and it is also destined to be a comedy with a tragic core.
Chapter 125: The Unified Dynasty
Shortly after that Christmas, Artoria personally led Gawain and hundreds of knights on the journey to welcome the bride.
Davian stayed behind to handle the finishing work of Camelot's construction. Probably before Altria returned, the entire Camelot would be completely completed.
Lancelot and his expeditionary force also returned, but King Perinoa returned to his own territory and did not come with them.
But before leaving, King Pellinoah also said that he would definitely come on the day of Arthur's wedding.
Then Davian immediately kicked Lancelot out to take charge of a new batch of grain trade work, and at the same time reminded him to return to Camelot in time before the day of my king's wedding.
After the wedding day, the king's coronation and the gathering of the round table will also come. Before that day comes, Lancelot must return.
Agguiwen immediately put himself into the work of internal affairs processing and intelligence management, and Gahoris was also responsible for the security work of the new Camelot and its surrounding areas.
Even the vicious-tongued Kai Qing was sent by Davian to handle taxation, material allocation, and logistics-related work.
Davidian himself also had to deal with the overall direction of the deployment work and the government affairs that Agguiwen was undecided about, and was responsible for the training and allocation of new recruits during the period when Sir Bedivere was away.
But this was already much easier than before. After all, he no longer had to do the more detailed work himself.
He can take charge of everything with peace of mind and focus his attention on more critical matters that others are undecided about.
The First Legion was working hard to restore its organization under the work of Vincennes and Percival.
On the surface, everything seems to be thriving, or at least it looks very good.
Although Davidian still needs to worry with Aguiwen about how to deal with the people's lives, at least the situation is now under control.
What surprised them was that there was still a good harvest near Camelot, but due to the overall environment in Britain, this good harvest was turned into a disaster.
This made them even more distressed. At the same time, Davidian also learned from intelligence from various sources that the number of Saxons coming to Britain was actually increasing.
He couldn't help but sigh, in this difficult era, those guys came to this place to survive. But this place is also quite barren, and only one side can survive.
He was already prepared to call back Bedivere and Tristan. Under the current circumstances, there was no need for them to stay in the front.
Let the other kings worry about the invading Saxons first.
After they have celebrated the wedding of our king, the completion of Camelot, and the enthronement of officials, they will gather all their current strength and drive the Saxons out of Britain in one fell swoop.
"You are working much harder now than you looked before. Don't overwork yourself, Lord Davian."
Agguiwen handed him a glass of water and then looked at the strategic map nailed to the wall. The main strongholds of the Saxons on the island were carefully marked on this map, which was the credit of the Tenth Company.
"I don't think you'll need to use honorifics with me, Lord Agugui Wen of Iron. I admit that I underestimated you before.
