Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

"The reason for this matter, let alone you can't find it in Victoria's ancient scrolls, even the current Aslan and the Duke of Normandy may not know...and only Draco, who was the loser, knows The clan still remembers this humiliating betrayal.”

Looking indifferently at the red liquid in the cup that was slightly rippling under the influence of force, Ozwald said:

“That has to be traced back to before Victoria appeared.

And this is also the reason why the Drake Kingdom became the Victoria Empire. "

ps: Let me tell you in advance that the Duke of Normandy and its related parts starting from this chapter are based on the correlation between the Duke of Normandy and the British King in British history, so I made a restoration design for the historical facts of Neta. However, due to the background of the Ark It is impossible to copy it directly, so the details of the restoration method will be somewhat reversed.As for how to do it specifically, I'll leave it at that for now. You can wait until the next volume is ready for the decisive battle (thumbs up)

Stirring the Pool Water: 56 Insects

Thousands of years ago, the original owners who ruled this land were only the kingdom established by the dragons among the mountains.The Drak tribe was once the sole ruler of this land. Later, the Aslan tribe, who migrated from a distant country, broke out a war with the Drak tribe in order to integrate into this land.

It is true that Aslan Pasha, who conquered the grassland, once chopped off the head of the King of Spirits with his long sword, and established a supreme meritorious service; but that does not mean that he will have smooth sailing after arriving in the territory of the dragons. ——Unlike the irrational and crazy surreal monsters, the biggest and most difficult enemy of mankind is mankind itself.

As an outsider, it is undoubtedly extremely challenging to defeat the other party in the ancestral land managed and built by the other party.

But similarly, the best way to conquer a fortress is never to encircle and consume it from the outside; it is to divide and isolate it from the inside.

Therefore, when the Lion once tried to take over Victoria, he made a promise to the man named Charles, the lord of the Normandy region at the time and the predecessor of the future Duke of Normandy - if he joined the Pasha's queue, then the Lion would defeat him later. After the red dragon becomes the new owner and king of this land, he can share part of the royal power with him as a reward for defecting.

Charles, the lord of Normandy at the time, accepted this contract and chose to defect during the war; this caused the original relative balance between the dragons and the lions, and even the situation where Drake occupied the local territory, to become unbalanced.

Of course, the Norman lord was not stupid enough to directly choose to confront his former master and colleagues. Instead, he chose another more cunning method...not to make an effort when it was time to do so, to sit back and watch the war develop, and not to provide help. , watching without creating any resistance.

It would be okay in normal times, but at this critical moment of life and death, it would be equivalent to helping the other side, while not being arrogant and avoiding being directly stigmatized as a traitor - it can be said to be a very good plan.

But in the end, Aslan Pasha and the Norman lord Charles did not agree on the subsequent sharing of royal power.

"The Drake family cannot directly confirm the specific details, but according to the observation and analysis of the people involved in the same era of Aslan Pasha, such as the first generation of our family, Artolis and King Gael, the reason for the breach of contract is most likely because of what Charlie did. The lion is disgusted by the cunning and lack of clear-cut alignment."

Ozwald said this to Tracys.

After all, judging from the fact that Aslan Pasha was able to join forces with the Nightmare Khan to conquer the enemies of civilization and behead the King of Spirits, he was an ambitious invader and also showed himself as a perseverant. Powerful people admire the brave side, and such monarchs tend to prefer the straightforward theory of victory and defeat, and dislike ambiguous and unclear outsiders.

If you want to get more power, so come here to help, just click here to help fight. If you don’t want to bear the reputation of a traitor, just go back to the side of the dragon group and fight with me... Like this, you forget your duty for small gains and sacrifice your life for big things. Yes, I don’t know what they are stirring up! ?

So in the end, the red dragon Artolis, who had his own sword pierced his chest and burned off one of his arms, gained the respect of Aslan Pasha and was willing to share the royal power with him and become the ruler of the new country.

At the same time, dealing with the disappointing Charlie... You see, I, Aslan, crushed Draco. As the founding monarch of Victoria, I have to have a coronation ceremony, right?So should Londinium, the capital of the new Victorian Empire, be renovated?After all, the city was somewhat badly damaged in the previous battle;

But Drak has lost all his lands and has no land left to take, so it makes sense to take some of your Normandy lands to make up for the shortfall, right?Um?Why don't you come over and thank the Lord for His grace!

... Almost since then, the lords of Normandy have completely stopped dealing with the Lion family.For this reason, he can barely be regarded as a supporter of the red dragons, just because they have a common enemy.

"I see."

After a brief experience of Sakaz's treatment of Sacota, Tresissi understood the reason why the decree prohibiting the Duke of Normandy from entering Londinium came into being.

"So generally speaking, when dealing with the Duke of Normandy, you have to take into account the lessons learned from the past... But it doesn't matter to you or me."

Ozwald took a sip of wine.

And this sentence made Tracy look at him with a bit of amusement.

"It sounds like you're going to do something different than a lot of people think."

"So it's just what most people, including you, think about themselves, and it's just a stereotype. I've never said that myself."

"Indeed, now that I think about it, you have already stated what you want to do - a pure white city where all infected people and all races can live equally."

Traces looked at the Lord of Britain in front of him with deep eyes and asked, "But can you do it?"

"Do you question the success of the path you have chosen now?" Ozwald asked.

"What if I say...yes?"

"Then I think you're a bit of a loser, Chairman. It's not like people from the East do what kind of stud every day?"

"Hahaha, after all, I am different from you. I just look like a young man. In fact, in these hundreds of years of life, I have experienced failure and frustration again and again. Of course, I can no longer be as calm as you. Say these four words---[I will succeed]."

Not trying to hide anything, Tracy laughed heartily.And this was the first time since he came to Victoria that he expressed his emotions so frankly.

He hadn't been this happy for many years.

"To be honest, sitting in a small room like this leisurely drinking wine, discussing various anecdotes with another person, and hearing other people's sarcastic remarks about me... It's already 200 Things happened years ago.”

"This will only make people think that you have no friends, special committee member."

"Because there is no one in this world who can ignore the titles of war hero and demon king's eldest brother, and still talk to me unscrupulously;

Not everyone can be in the same room with a Sakaz and still have everything go as normal as you, Ozwald Artolis. "

Tracy looked at Oswald sitting across the table from him, called him by his first name, and solemnly stretched out his hand to him:

"I am here to extend an invitation to you, Ozwald; since Sakota could form an alliance with the people of the gods thousands of years ago, so can you and I now, and we will unite here.

Your Britain can share this land with the Tikaz Empire. "

Is this sincere?Or is it a disguise driven by profit?Hard to argue with.

But no matter which one it was, Ozwald's expression was very calm, even showing a lack of interest.

"Britain did not appear to rule. When you tell me about the result of sharing the earth, we have an essential conflict, Mr. Date. Tikaz's concept of dominance is contrary to the Round Table."

"But if you do this, you will be even less able to practice your own ideas." Tracy said seriously: "Maybe because you are a god and not a Sakaz, the countries of Terra will retaliate against you. With a certain amount of tolerance, when something you are implementing threatens their interests or even shakes their foundation, they will still take action against you. Just like the Battle of the Four Emperors decades ago.

Ideas that lack absolute power are nothing more than castles in the air, my friends. "

"Of course I understand this, Mr. Date; peace cannot be separated from force, so it is impossible for me to do something that would invalidate my martial arts - the problem is something else."

"What is it?"

"Because the Sakaz Military Council is a piece of shit except for you."

"........."

"What the Kazdaele Military Commission said is very nice. But if you think about it carefully, apart from the old guys who clamor for war and fighting all day long, is there really anyone among this group of people who can be regarded as someone who is skilled in affairs and civil affairs? ? Or to be more precise, Special Committee Member, do you have a serious [civilian] under you?"

Now that he has already insulted him directly, Ozwald might as well speak more clearly, even if it is just out of respect for this new friend who can drink with him.

"Think about it seriously, Chairman. Even if Tikaz can continue to enslave other races as they did thousands of years ago, if a country wants to last long, it must not avoid people's livelihood... And who among Tikaz can Who is in charge of this aspect? Is it the old man who is the Scavenger? Or is it the Blood Demon who is a rotten orange on the outside but is corrupted inside?"

"..."

"So it's something as simple as that."

Ozwald looked at Tracys who was silent and speechless, and shrugged;

Then, he took a deep breath:

"How the hell can we revive Kazdare with a bunch of insects like this!"

Stirring the Pool Water: 57 He vowed to slit the throat of fate

"Insect...?"

Tracy chewed on the words that came out of Ozwald's mouth.

He should be angry here.After all, among the military commissioners of Kazdaele who were criticized as insects, there was a colleague like the Blood Demon Lord, who was once ranked among the six heroes with him, Trasisi.

As a Sarkazi, he should immediately draw his sword against the person who dared to speak rudely for the words that insulted his own race, and asked the wanton boy Drak to pay for his unbridled words with his blood. cost.

But contrary to what Tracy himself expected, he was surprised to find that he was not angry or ashamed in his heart, but instead felt deep... recognition.

And Tracy knew that he was most likely not the first to have such an idea.

At least if you want to trace the source, it may have to be the Wendigos who openly led the tribe to separate the boundaries from the royal court and traveled across mountains and rivers to leave Kazdaele.

Bozokasti, the nameless but substantive Wendigo Lord, would rather bear the name of a traitor cursed by the Demon King than to join the military committee and bring his own people and some Sashas with the same ideas. Kaz went to Ursus and became the right-hand man of the late Emperor Ursus who had just ascended the throne.

Of course, this does not mean that Vladimir Ivanovich is a generous and benevolent monarch.

He launched an invasion war against Casimir eleven times, put the demon fragments into research and created new Imperial Guard-level troops for the empire, and the Ursus War, which has not been alleviated to this day, even intensified with his death. The current situation of the mountains being crowded with sects, and the unique and severe laws that oppress the infected in all of Terra... Perhaps his choice to participate in the Four Emperors' Battle to carve up the Gallic inheritance made him the late emperor respected by thousands of people in Ursus. But what this man did also deserves to be described as militaristic and ruthless.

But even so;

Let’s not talk about what kind of ecstasy soup the former Ursus emperor poured into the leader of the pure-blooded Wendigos, but at least beside Vladimir, Bodrokas was tired of disputes and killings. Taiya still clearly stated that he felt the peace of his homeland and had a happy time that he had never had in Kazdael, so he respected the late Ursus Emperor and remained loyal to him for decades. .....

And I would rather choose the late Emperor Ursus, who even his successor Fyodor rated as a devil and a war madman, to serve him, rather than holding the sword for Kazdel... So, does that mean anything?

Not to mention that after getting rid of the Wendigo, the Cyclops Royal Court also ran away for one reason or another and settled in the snowy Sami Snow Mountains where supplies were scarce.

These are facts that exist objectively, cannot be ignored, and are thought-provoking.

The more you discard the filter of being a colleague and take a closer look, the more you can notice many irritating current situations.

——Even among the royal courts gathered in Londinium, not all of them are really willing to fight for the revival of Kazdaele; some do it because they can freely pour out their sadistic desires, and some do so reluctantly to show mercy. There are people who don't care about the future and are just passing the time... Most people outside of direct lineage can't be said to be colleagues who have gathered together for the same idea, but more like a group. Gangsters at the party.

Only I and my students are working hard for the slim hope.

"After all, what Sarkaz has never lacked is not the ability to change, but the heart to change." Ozwald smiled sarcastically: "The shapeshifter is the best example."

With the unique camouflage ability of the shapeshifter, he can spend one or two hundred years to forge a reasonable origin, and then use his rich knowledge accumulated since the Tikaz Empire has never fallen for thousands of years to steadily become a great person. Senior officials from most countries... By then, as long as these "people" in power join forces and speak out, it will be enough to greatly improve the current situation of the Sakaz people in the international community (of course, Sakaz will also need to Be able to stay calm and keep to yourself)

But no.

The oldest royal court of the Sakaz clan has never done this.

It would rather stay in an abandoned town in Iberia, use two hundred bodies to perform a hyper-realistic performance for tens or hundreds of years to pass the time and then leave when it gets tired of it; it is not willing to do anything for its own tribe. Some "business".

This is also the current situation of the Royal Court and most of the Sakaz that make up the Sakaz Military Council.

"Perhaps it's just like what you said, Ozwald Artolis. The so-called Sarkarz Military Council is just a group of insects that hinder Kazdaele's revival."

Traces let out a long sigh, leaning a little tiredly on the wide back of the wooden chair.

I don’t know if it was because he drank a lot of red wine, but the eyes of the Kazdare Regent, who was leaning back in his seat, became blurred. He stared blankly at the old ceiling, unable to find any focus. It was as if the consciousness had broken away from the shackles of the physical body, escaped from the gravity of the earth, and entered a free world unknown to anyone.

The room became quiet,

The heated discussion was no longer as pleasant as before, only a depressing and lost feeling filled the air.

For a moment, the only thing left in the room was each other's breath.

........

.........

..........

"Speaking of which, after I came to the homeland of your Drac family and the capital of Victoria, Londinium, I... I once had a dream."

After an unknown amount of time, Tracys, who still had his eyes closed and was leaning on the back of the chair, spoke abruptly, his voice confused and confused.

"I see that we are still in Londinium, but we have not come here armed and strong.

Dark clouds enveloped the city, black stones grew everywhere, and Sarkaz... Sarkaz stood between the scourge and the crowd.

When the disaster was over, the gates of Londinium were opened to us, and the Victorians stood on both sides of the street, cheering to welcome us.

After entering this palace, the person sitting on the throne was no longer afraid of the black stone on our bodies and held our hands.

They call Sakaz—"

【friend】.

not only that.

This man who only cared about his tribe saw blood demons, scavengers and wendigos marching further north than Ursus, throwing the fragments of spirits back into the cold sky.

And the banshees and shapeshifters went further south than Iberia, blocking the dissent of the sea in the boundless water.

Countless Sakaz sacrificed their lives for this land——

And Aslan, Drake, Felin, Caprini, Liboli... they all stand with Sakaz.

Because of this sacrifice and the friendship of sharing adversity, Sakaz is no longer an outcast wanderer.From this moment on, the earth embraced Sarkarz, allowing the demons that everyone once shouted to fight to regain their roots.

"This does not sound like what you, the chairman of the Military Commission, would have planned. As the commander-in-chief of Kazdaele in charge of war, you should not have such a [weak] dream."

Holding his chin with one hand, Ozward quietly listened to Tracy's words as if he was talking in his sleep. The corner of his mouth was raised, and the look in his eyes was playful and meaningful: "It seems like another person that you and I both know. What people would say.”

"Yes, these scenes all come from what Theresia once described to me... the possible future of Sakaz - I just don't know if the person who drew this scene has other people besides my sister. With your presence... was it because of your arrival that she made up her mind to build that tower?"

Traces turned his head and looked at the Shard in the distance through the half-transparent glass in the room.

He still remembers that when the Tower of Babel organization was first established in Kazdaele, Theresia approached him and told him about it; as an elder brother at that time, he only spoke with indifference and kindness. Some scolding comments said that such an ideal was too far away.

Among the people who couldn't understand Theresia's subversive behavior were not only their former enemies who didn't believe that the "demon guys" they called them would change, but also Sakaz, whom she wanted to save. people themselves.

Tens of thousands of years of grievances will turn into swords, guns, swords and halberds, and they will all be inflicted on the deviants of the Sakaz clan;

Even though she is a demon king, such unconventional behavior still arouses resistance and hostility from the Sakaz.
