That is, after comparing Moran, Alcides, the female assassin and others to 17, his mentality was very frivolous and lacked tension.

"Hey! John, come back!"

"How reckless! The other party is the King of Britain!"

"What if this is seen as a provocation? He's the same type of monster as the one who broke into our police station! If he gets upset and starts a fight with us here..."

The surrounding policemen all showed panic expressions.

They are not as bold as John.

Every time they survived, they were terrified that they would fall off the cliff by accident.

After all, brave men like John are a minority.

However, John's words were not seen as a provocation, but instead put Richard into a trance.

"My brother is always like this"

"He's a devil on the battlefield, yet he's always so careless and lax!"

"Brother, do you have any awareness of being a king?"

Very familiar words emerged from my mind.

That was Richard's memory before he died.

When he was alive, his relatives had said such words to him.

Thinking of this, Richard's mouth corners rose slightly.

".......May I have your name?"

"Um... John Goldson, just call me John."

Richard's eyes widened when he heard this.

The smile also became brighter.

He had noticed Moran's involvement when he escaped from the police station and fought with Gilgamesh in the church.

Combined with the intelligence from Britain.

He had guessed early on that Moran held the police force in high regard.

Now, meet Policeman John.

He somewhat understood why Moran did this.

This is indeed a talented person.

"I see...you are John!"

"........ha?"

"It's fate, John, let's get along! I'll just take this opportunity to get to know you while I'm relaxing!

Don't worry, we in Britain have no intention of becoming your enemies, but if you want to make us your enemies, that's hard to say... I hope we don't get to that point."

Richard approached the police team with considerable familiarity.

Moreover, he patted John on the back very intimately, as if the two were good buddies who had shared life and death together.

The police team was all confused.

—Brother, we are still rivals in the Holy Grail War, so can you at least give us some face?

Although that's what the police thought.

But, they really didn't want to fight Britain.

Earlier, the choir had cast a barrier and blocked Alcides' arrow without any damage - this scene was witnessed by the police team.

If they had blocked that arrow.

I'm afraid it will be impossible without paying the price of casualties.

If a battle breaks out here with Richard and the choir.

The police team was almost certain to be defeated.

All they could utter in their hearts was a silent groan of pain, which was the last bit of comfort they could get.

In this extraordinary Holy Grail War.

After all, they are too weak.

Britain declared that they had no hostility, and the hostility in the police team's eyes decreased a lot after hearing it.

However, basic vigilance remains.

They could not forget the incident when Moran caused a scene in the police station, and everyone had a psychological shadow on the British king.

Subsequently, the two sides temporarily reached a ceasefire agreement.

The most important issue at the moment is this fake world. They must get out of it before they can continue to participate in the Holy Grail War.

This is a temporary alliance.

Richard acted as the voice to promote the alliance.

He asked the police team a crucial question.

"The little girl you've been trying to shelter and protect...is her name Tsubaki, right?"

"It seems that even in this Snowfield City, your British intelligence network is everywhere..."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment. I also heard about this a while ago. Although I heard about it... But considering the situation so far, the person who imprisoned us in this world... could also be the Servant of that little Tsubaki girl?"

Several policemen squinted their eyes.

Some of them had already guessed what Richard was going to say, and the policemen, prepared for the situation, closed their eyes slightly.

People like John who only realized it now.

They all showed various expressions in an instant.

"Of course, I'm only discussing one possibility. It's possible someone else created this fake world. However, in war, no matter how small the possibility, it can't be ignored... If that little girl is the culprit, can you kill her?"

Richard asked sharply.

He had also noticed the performance of the police team during his previous battle with Gilgamesh.

If these people are the ones that the previous king has been watching.

Then, he must not take it lightly.

This is how respect is shown.

As expected, the police team fell silent.

They were determined to protect Tsubaki Usugaoka from the very beginning, and they fought fiercely with the evil spirits to save the child.

There was no way they were pointing guns at children.

However, the policemen's reactions made Richard smile happily, as he saw a good answer.

P.S. I just got off the plane and went home today. I think I will be able to resume updating tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Chapter 648: Maintain Your Glory [Please Subscribe! Please Give Flowers!]

".....Hold on to your glory. Don't lose it.

Until the very end of my life, I never became the knight I always dreamed of, and I couldn't catch up with the late king... But you are different. You are all excellent knights."

“...What are you talking about?”

Bella was a little confused.

At this moment, Richard displayed his kingly demeanor, offering his congratulations as if to a subordinate:

"Faced with that terrifying archer, you not only risked your honor in battle, but you also survived! Not to save your family, but to save a girl you'd never met!

In this case, you should continue to protect innocent people! No, you must continue to do so!

Even if it is to protect other people, or even the entire society itself! So, it is best not to do that kind of behavior."

Having said this, Richard paused.

It’s like remembering some past events.

"Because once you've done something, once you've crossed that line, there's no turning back... That's my advice as someone who's been through it."

Richard said in a complicated tone.

His eyes seemed to be looking at somewhere in the distance, and it was unknown whether that place was far from here.

Memories from my previous life gradually surfaced——

"Why! Your Majesty—Richard!"

"You don't have to bear the sins yourself! You are the chosen King of Britain, the hope of your people! The light of your people! Why not let us bear it!"

"You're the man who should be the hero! Why are you pretending not to know what's in our hands?"

"Ah, ah... Your Majesty, your lion heart is too strong and has made you too fearless!"

"That's right! You are truly brave and outstanding, King Lionheart!"

"That's why you're fearless. Nothing in the world is an exception! Even an enemy with a mighty force, a general far more powerful than yourself, mysterious revenge plots, monsters beyond human intelligence, and even—"

"You have stained your hands with the blood of so many innocent people... and you are not afraid at all."

Richard was the chosen king of Britain.

At that time, Great Britain was facing serious external turmoil, and its internal situation was far from being as unified as it is now.

To maintain the prosperity of Britain.

And, wipe out the threats posed by foreign enemies.

Richard committed many atrocities through his own decisions, and his hands were stained with countless blood.

Even his relatives were trampled under his feet.

The reputation of galloping on the battlefield is built on countless corpses.

He is a national hero praised by the world.

At the same time, he was also a bloody executioner who shamelessly tied the people of the country to chariots.

Even after his death, he was unable to keep up with the footsteps of the previous king.

The final outcome was death in a foreign land.

So, Richard, who had experienced this kind of thing himself, did not want to see the glorious knight tainted by filth.

This kind of thing only needs to happen once.

There is no need for a second appearance.

When everyone was lost in thought over Richard's words, something unusual happened that stopped them from thinking.

A violent earthquake was coming towards them.

Britain was put on alert along with the police force.

As the earthquake source gradually intensified.

Everyone finally saw the source of the vibration.

It was a giant demon dog that was easily over fifteen meters tall. The police team was very familiar with the posture of this demon dog.

Because they had fought a fierce battle with it not long ago.

It feels different.

The giant dog's entire body exuded a miasma-like smoke, and black flames the same color as its fur continuously flowed from the corners of its mouth.

A dark and heavy aura continued to overflow.

It feels icy cold.

"Roar--!!"

The roar of the ferocious beast was accompanied by the wind of death.
