Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

Rather than the future described by Theresia, it is more likely that Sarkaz was torn apart by the war that broke out within before she took him to that future.

And she was unwilling to give up any possibility, even if it was just a nascent fire, she still wanted to try.

The most difficult step in the pursuit of peace is often this; in order to re-establish trust with a target that lacks trust and make both parties convinced that they can coexist, it requires long-term efforts and enduring the rumors from the outside world. ....

"But everyone has his own ambitions, and not everyone will get bored in the long war and pursue peace. This is especially true for ethnic groups like Sakaz who follow ancient traditions. [I] have already reminded her."

Ozwald shook his wine glass and looked at the ripples of the bright red liquid in the glass, as if he was looking at the Kazdaele that Theresa tried to change back then.

She wants to use the containers named Demon King and Hero to restrain the turbulent flow that represents her ethnic group, so that it will no longer indulge its nature as before and become a flood and wave that destroys everything in its path - but this is a It's an easy thing, especially when this stream of water still has a [tradition that lasts for thousands of years] as a bad river channel that breeds undercurrents and whirlpools.

In this case, the only right answer is to make a trade-off.

But as the queen of Kazdaele and the leader of Sakaz, she couldn't give up so easily after all... Even if they had become irremediable filth that polluted the clean water of the newborn, they were still her kindred. , are the people she, as the Demon King, is supposed to protect and save.

Even if they were the 'demon' that the world could avoid, Theresia was always willing to believe that there would be a day when they could change, as long as she persisted.

"It's a pity that the Sakaz failed to live up to her expectations." Ozwald raised his glass to the silent eldest brother of the Demon King: "Especially you, Tracys, you should have been her most solid supporter. Supporters are the right ones. But you are on the side that is hostile to your sister."

"Perhaps you are right, I let her down... But when the entire military council objected, I could only be carried forward; when the souls of the entire Sakaz ethnic group longed for war. When there is no peace, my personal opinions are not worth mentioning."

Tresis looked sad: "Since the fall of the empire for thousands of years, the will of the Tikaz sentient beings and souls has never had a moment of peace; the will that spread from this has been implemented in the lives of our people.

As Drake, you probably can't understand this feeling. "

[Can’t you understand?That's not entirely true. ]

After hearing what Tracy said, Ozwald thought in his heart.

And because he did not say these words, Tracys regarded his moment of silence as acquiescence and continued:

"So, Theresia's path is destined to fail; but if Sakaz still has a chance to get a new life, then now is the only chance."

The Victorians, too, had a lot of sakaz.People's blood will completely change this gray city, and people's wailing will even drown out the thunder.

"This is a war. A war between us and you that has lasted for nearly ten thousand years and has never ended.

War...this has always been how we Sarkaz have survived. "

So he declares.

And he retorted like this.

"But war is only a continuation of politics after all; long-term and stable rule is the key to the continuation of a race's civilization and country."

There is nothing wrong with building your foundation by winning a war beyond your imagination, but what happens after that is even more important.

Even if Sarkaz can rebuild the Tikaz Empire thousands of years ago through pursuing wars, completely enslave all non-Sarkaz people on Terra, and achieve the [ideal state] they dream of - what happens next? manage?

The unbearable slaves will resist again sooner or later, and such an empire will be overthrown again; but if the slaves are exterminated to prevent a recurrence of fate, then without the goal of enslavement, the war will continue. Who else can you point your desire at except yourself?

"Then let's wait until then."

Traces was unable to give an answer to this question, just as Sakaz had now pinned everything he had on Londinium and this war.

I hope that this war can really free Kazdaele from the cycle of destruction... I hope that this storm can really extinguish the fire of Sarkaz's hatred and allow countless undead to return to freedom... .By then, there may be an opportunity for change.

Even with little hope.

"But I won't give up any possibility."

"This is doomed to your defeat. You will never be able to defeat me, the King of Britain who controls the chaos of fate and turns the impossible into the possible."

"On the other hand, if I defeat you, the dragon who controls possibilities, it means that Sakaz finally controls his own destiny on this land, right?"

After hearing this, Tracys raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, standing up with an excited and expectant smile on his face.

"Oswald Artolis; my conversation with you today really made me happy, and it makes me look forward to the next meeting with you, my only friend."

"However, next time we meet, I will treat you not with wine, but with swords, Tracys."

"So, hurry up and leave Londinium, which no longer belongs to Drak, and bring your troops over here! Friends. Let's see who among us is the final winner.

And I promise you, friend, that I will pierce your heart with my sword and slit the throat of the Red Dragon (Destiny). "

Stirring the Pool Water: 58 Parting Gift

Tracy went back.

After all, as the regent of Kazdaele, and as the source of the storm that enveloped Londinium and spread to the whole of Victoria, Tresis has too many things to face, and the Military Council always has endless matters to deal with. to handle and make decisions.

Internally, it is necessary to govern the Sarkaz in Londinium to prevent them from running wild like a group of estrous beasts, and to keep them moving efficiently to avoid delaying the progress of the Shard;

The pressure from the outside is even greater; as calm as the Red Dragon, who prefers to attack in an upright and royal way rather than using tricks, is really worry-free, but it does not mean that other opponents will do the same.

As Tracy described in the discussion with Ozwald, each duke is performing various confusing behaviors in his own way, thus carefully weaving each line that will flow into Lundy. Nim's intelligence was an attempt to make Sakaz lose his position before the real decisive battle - if there was a deviation in the annotation of the intelligence, it would be enough to make Kazdel irrecoverable.Because the current Sakaz lacks the endurance to resist risks, Tracy must carefully sift through it to identify the intentions behind the disguise of the dukes.

As an outsider, Sakaz does not have an advantage in this chess game, but he has never been at a disadvantage... This has drained almost all of Tracys' energy, making him feel indispensable all day long. .

After all, whether it is the Blood Demon Lord or the Scavenger King, these ancient royal courts that represent Sarkaz itself will never pay even a small share for Trasis who wants to regain the glory of the Tikaz Empire. Every bit of burden; these guys only appear in Londinium because they still think they are Sarkarz and show off their power. Often, their wanton behavior is the source of trouble. ...Just like it was during the Kazdaele Civil War.Whenever he thought that it was these guys who had coerced him into starting that meaningless civil war that wasted a hundred years of hard work, and even led to the death of Theresia, Tracy felt extremely bad, sincerely I feel unworthy of trying so hard to lead this group of people.

But just as Theresia could not abandon her people until her death, and still wanted to give these hopeless guys the last hope; similarly there was no way for Theresa to give up - even if the Blood Demon Lord had no hope for civilization. Everything is treated like worn out shoes, and Tracy is still firmly locked in the concepts of "responsibility" and "ideal" that surround civilization, which is really ironic.

In any case, being able to spare an hour or two like today to leave the Shard, put down the burden of regent, come to this empty information room to sit down and drink some wine, and get to know someone who finally made him understand Tracy. The dreams described by Ya layer are not illusory, but can indeed be realized... friends (enemies); just this, for Tracys who is already exhausted physically and mentally, it can be called a rare period of relaxation. time.

And just for this reason, Tracys didn't mind acting like a master, and he didn't hesitate to give a belated, small gift to his friend who was about to leave Londinium.

.......................

.......................

.......................

If Ozwald announced his arrival to the whole of Londinium with a cloud of flames and a fierce momentum that seemed to set the sky on fire when he arrived, it was already extremely high-profile, then this dragon is leaving. It was much quieter when I left.

But it's just low-key in comparison.

Before climbing up a few kilometers high city wall with bare hands at night and jumping out of the city, the red dragon, which had been in the underground area of ​​Londinium for several weeks and evaded the hunting game for a long time, came to find him again. The Blood Demon Lord, who was the most "enthusiastic" when he returned to his hometown, had another fight with this mother's child, and after winning the battle, he wrote "I am a fool" on the bumbling guy's face in indelible ink. [Quarantine failure] That's all - there is a high probability that this guy will just peel off his face, but this will achieve another layer of irony that the red dragon hopes to convey.In other words, "You shameless thing!"

Ozwald was sure that this would be his disgrace for a long time to come.

'People in a civilized society should act like demons every day. If you have the ability, don't even ask for the propriety, justice, integrity and pride of face that are the cornerstones of a civilized society! '

Walking on the wilderness of Terra outside Londinium City, Ozwald thought happily.

Compared with when he came empty-handed, the red dragon who embarked on his way back had a few more items on his body.

One of them is the King's Breath, the national sword that represents the history and symbol of Victoria.It's just that this treasure that has fascinated countless Victorians, and that if the Eight Dukes heard about it, they would rack their brains to get it, Ozwald has never cared about it, and even disliked it to some extent; therefore, he simply I found a piece of wood and whittled it down to use it as a sheath for storage. Then I found a piece of rope to tie it up to make sure it wouldn't be lost, and then hung it casually around my waist.

What really interested the red dragon more was the notepad that Tracy sent over, which was sorted out and handwritten by the Chairman himself.

In addition to some information related to the deep pool (Abrana) used as an addition to the head, it also records in considerable detail including but not limited to: the damaged and nowhere to go after the end of the Kazdaele Civil War. How the Regent's troops were able to enter Londinium, which members of the Council wanted to see the destruction of the Steam Knights and participated in the ambush, the order approval required, and the invitation to Kazdaele as the president of the Supreme Council in Tresis The Military Council officially settled in Londinium to quell the nobles who had defected to Sarkarz when the eight dukes with evil intentions "revolted"... There are many, many lists with similar labels.

As for why Tracy would give such things to Ozwald as an enemy, is it because the Tikaz Empire, which declares war on Terra in the future, does not need these vassals at all and will die; or does it intend to use Ozwald to do this? In the eyes of the world, [Drake], who represents the jurisprudence of the Victorian monarchy, exposed the leading party and intensified the current conflicts to give today's Sakaz more opportunities and time to turn around?The understanding brought about by just getting to know Traces for more than an hour was not enough for the red dragon to judge the former's intentions.

But he would not refuse the gift of fidelity.

After all, he does need this thing. It can even be said that if the Red Dragon can be the final victor, it will play a vital role in clearing away the old forces in Victoria.

"Yo Xi! When the time comes, arrest them all for the crime of invading and assisting Sakaz!"

Turn the pool water: 59 to catch the wind and wash away the dust

When the red dragon returned to his tower, Tallulah soon heard the news and came;

After all, unlike the other Knights of the Round Table who more or less have their own things to do, Tallulah did get the serial code name of 'Tristan' from Ozwald, but so far she still doesn't seem to be responsible for justice and justice. Metatron, who is in charge of order, and Bodracasti, who is responsible for external vigilance, are responsible for such things. Generally speaking, they are still in a relatively free...or idle state.

And this was also the reason why she was able to rush there as soon as she heard that the red dragon was coming back and send her hugs and kisses.

"Welcome back, Oz."

"Hmm~~Have you missed me during this time? No need to answer, I guess Xiaota must have missed me~~~"

After narrowing his eyes and rubbing the other person's cheek with enjoyment, Ozwald put his arms around the dragon girl who let out a weak "hmm" at the question and walked into the room.Of course, the latter had no possibility of rejection. He only had a blushing face that was a bit shy because he had guessed his true intentions, and his slender tail habitually wrapped around Ozwald's body.

However, during this period, she also discovered the sword hilt hanging on the waist on the other side of the red dragon's body. It was in a wooden scabbard that was quite crudely made...even the burrs were not polished off. It is not the same as the sword but is quite gorgeous. It is an extraordinary sword.

This made her somewhat curious.

Could it be that this was the trophy that his lover took from the Lord of the Sakaz Court?When Ozwald handed over the sword casually, and Tallulah pulled it out of the inferior wooden sheath and took a closer look at the beautiful figure, the dragon girl guessed this - Cosiche's inheritance She was clearly aware of the terrifying power of Lord Sarkaz, who could execute patriots, but Tallulah was even more convinced that her hero and her beloved could defeat and triumph no matter what kind of enemy they were!

Therefore, the dragon girl would not act distrustfully like asking worriedly.

The most she would do is ask Ozwald which king of the royal court this sword originally belonged to. After all, she has never really seen the current royal court of Sarkaz.

Is it a blood demon?Or a scavenger?Or a lich?

To this, Oswald, who was selecting black tea in the cupboard, answered without turning his head.

"Oh, this thing comes from Aslan Pasha's sword. The last owner who held it was Frederick III."

?

? ?

???

"Breath of Kings!!"

Tallulah exclaimed, her eyes widening.

This attracted a strange look from the red dragon. He didn't seem to understand why the dragon girl showed such an exaggerated look - wasn't it just a sword from Victoria with a bit of history and status?

"what happened?"

"hiss....."

Taking a deep breath, the dragon girl suddenly felt that her breathing was a little rapid, and even the sword in her hand became heavy.

Even though she was born in Great Yan, grew up in Ursus, and thus had a serious lack of sense of belonging to Victoria, Tallulah was not a fool... In other words, as long as she could have a little social status and fame, she would be able to contact him. Anyone who is aware of the situation in the international community and can analyze it to a minimum cannot fail to realize the meaning of the sword Breath of Kings; because that is the national sword that shattered Victoria, the current hegemon of Terra after Gaul. ah!In a sense, it is a national weapon that even many of the previous Victoria emperors were not qualified to hold!

With a shocked look on her face, she looked at Ozwald, who showed such a completely meaningless attitude towards Breath of Kings without even the slightest respect. Her original 'appraising' gesture of holding the sword hilt with one hand also unknowingly changed to one with one hand. Holding the hilt of the sword with one hand holding the tip of the sword, he held it as if he were offering a treasure.

But despite this, the dragon girl only felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort; subconsciously she wanted to put the breath of kings that she should never hold back into its scabbard... but When he saw it, let alone what kind of precious materials it was made of, Oswald wanted to just walk in the wilderness. When he passed by, he broke off a piece of it and couldn't name it. After that, he just pretended to cut it casually and it became hard. The [scabbard] that seemed to be inserted directly with great force... She really couldn't bear to do such a wasteful thing and tarnish the artifact.

And this also led to Tallulah eventually becoming in a pitiful state where she was afraid to take it away and reluctant to let it go. She was so cramped that she could only look at the red dragon for help with her moist eyes that were about to cry. .

So Ozwald could only sigh, use his tail to curl up the Breath of Kings in Tallulah's hand, and then use his strength to throw it out and nail it to the wall amidst the dragon girl's slightly distressed exclamation - -The nanomachines that make up the building are controlled to squirm, and the breath of kings is gradually integrated into the wall, but this does not mean that it will be decomposed; Ozwald will put this thing in A room where I keep many strange little toys that I bought from all over the world.

"Huh..." Watching the sword leave, although she felt a little uncomfortable with her lover's method of handling it, Tallulah finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she asked curiously about Ozwald's action of taking away the well-known Victoria national sword: "So, Oz, are you going to use this sword to unify Victoria in the future? That's why you Did you just go to Londinium to get this sword?”

"No, it's just because of a misunderstanding. I don't actually need it, and I never wanted to unify Victoria."

It would be better to say that what I will do in the future will be closer to destruction and conquest.

"Besides, I am the King of Britain, the Emperor of the Red Dragon. There is no point in using the sword of the first King Aslan!"

Ozwald said this confidently, and then changed the subject again: "But it can be used by you, Xiaota. If you don't want to spend time practicing the one-handed sword I gave you, use the Breath of Kings. That’s fine, it happens to be Aslan Pasha’s sword that was reforged to be closer to the style of a two-handed sword, so you should be able to use it easily.”

"No! Never! Oz."

Tallulah quickly shook her head and refused, saying that she was very willing to spend time and energy on becoming familiar with the one-handed sword and enjoy the sense of accomplishment in mastering a new technique; at the same time, the Dragon Girl expressed her hatred for what being Cosiche had to do. The difference between the things and the weapons given by Ozwald are simply clouds and mud - a two-handed sword or something, it's just fun! ! !

But Tallulah's slightly blunt and lame excuse made Ozwald feel unhappy.

You must know that Zhou Zhou is a very enthusiastic collector of cold weapons, and the type of big sword is his favorite.

So, Ozwald coughed twice, deliberately pretending to be fierce, and when Tallulah screamed, he firmly grasped his two white wrists with one hand and pressed them on top of her head.Then, while using his strength to push her down on the bed, he said viciously: "How Dare you? Atrias, I am your master and your emperor! You dare to refuse my kindness? You will do it for you." Pay the price for your stupidity!!”

Feeling the force pressing on her body, Tallulah stared blankly at Oswald's eyes that were looking at her so close. His silver-white hair was a little messy on the tip of his small nose.

She just stared like this for a long time, and the fluttering nose came out with a slightly heavy burning tone, which made the hair on the tip of the nose tremble slightly, and stubbornly stuck to it.

Then, the dragon girl raised her swan-like white neck and tried her best to peck his lips gently.

"sorry....."

Her eyes seemed to hide the flowing galaxy, boldness and longing were written in her bright eyes.

The delicate and lovely face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, accompanied by increased breathing and heartbeat.

His body straightened unconsciously, and his body wrapped in thin fabric slowly squirmed like a restless fish, not resisting at all.

And when the head that she had tried so hard to hold up fell down in the messy hair, the dragon girl's eyes were completely confused, her lips were slightly open, and the hot breath she breathed out had a pleasant fragrance.

"Punish...punish?Punish?Me~~~"

Seeing such a beautiful and delicious thing placed in front of him, Ozwald shrugged.

The next second, the red dragon turned over her body, biting the back of her neck in anticipation and desire, causing the dragon girl to moan with satisfaction and pleasure.

The flames rise here.
