Is it a dream? No, this is history. I have never seen it before, but Chen Xiaofeng feels inexplicably familiar.
The sky was dyed grey-brown, and the bright red hills were covered with corpses...
The oppressive clouds and mists in the sky have dissipated, and the dazzling sunlight emerging from the clouds declares the end of the war.
The sun is shining brightly on the earth, but this scene makes people feel even more chest tight.
Chen Xiaofeng knows this scene and is familiar with it.
This is history. This is a scene that I have seen many times in the past. It has not changed. This is one of the battlefields that Artoria has experienced.
For King Arthur, who was victorious in every battle, this was a natural relic of war. After finishing here, she would return to her royal city, accept the applause of people celebrating her victory, and then quietly prepare for the next war.
This has become a common thing.
This battlefield was just one of the twelve battles that Wang Chicheng fought in, an insignificant one. Therefore, she did not revel in the victory, but simply accepted the result indifferently.
This is not a dream - this is history. What Chen Xiaofeng thought about turned out to be completely wrong.
History cannot be changed, this is destined to be the cold past.
From the moment she pulled out the sword from the stone, this girl was no longer a human being.
After replacing her father and becoming the new lord, she became the king leading many knights. After that, she was called King Arthur or Arturia - the girl who originally aimed to become a knight. At that moment,
Her life was completely changed.
No - Chen Xiaofeng tried his best to deny this.
Rather than being changed, it would be more accurate to say that it was terminated. Because at that moment, the childish girl before disappeared and was replaced by the King of Knights who led the people to prosperity.
Then she is the only allowed existence.
What's even more outrageous is that after that, she had to appear in front of others as a man, because the person who governs the vast territory and leads the knights must be a man.
The only people who knew that the king was actually a girl were her father and the magician Merlin.
Silver-white steel armor covered her whole body, and she prepared to seal this fact for the rest of her life.
Why didn't I notice it earlier and what was going on?
A person who has received the most attention and respect has to hide his true identity?
Chen Xiaofeng, who was watching all this quietly, could not understand how much trouble there was.
The time of history has not stopped because of Chen Xiaofeng's troubles.
This picture is too clear, as if you are immersed in it. This is probably not just history or a dream - this is Artoria's memory!
As a man, peering into a girl's memory is a very abnormal and incomprehensible thing. However, Chen Xiaofeng still understood a hint of Artoria's feelings amidst this incomprehension.
No matter whether she was on the throne, in a desperate situation, or on the battlefield, the girl as the king never said a word.
No, it should be said that no one has spoken to her.
Even though he was showing off his impressive achievements on the gorgeous round table, everything turned silent the moment the king appeared.
silent.
It's such a simple thing. She is victorious in every battle, but she is just regarded as an idol.
Moreover, at first most of the knights were not willing to bow down to the young Arturia and use their swords to serve her. But now that she had pulled out the holy sword in the stone that she could not pull out, at least on the surface, she could
She obeyed her. These knights just accepted this as a temporary humiliation. In their view, even if they pulled out the holy sword, the other party was a child after all. Even with the help of the magician Merlin, he would definitely come out immediately.
Embarrassing.
In that case, all we have to do is take away the holy sword and choose the king again.
These knights thought optimistically, but the result was beyond their expectations.
This knight, who has just come of age, is a king without any flaws.
First, they united the lords who were still fighting each other, and then quickly repelled the invading foreign tribes.
Moreover, it is obvious that this is not the power of the Sword in the Stone. In the final analysis, the Sword in the Stone is only a treasure that protects the king's body, not a divine object that protects the country.
What can protect the family and the country is only the strength shown by the king.
Therefore, judging from this result, the perfect King Arthur restricted the activities of the knights.
The holy sword protected her body when she fought against the enemy, but it could not help her govern people's hearts. Artoria continued to be the ideal king for everyone, as she literally did.
Artoria had accomplished this, so the knights had no choice but to obey the young king from the bottom of their hearts.
Because of the king's perfection, the knights finally suppressed their dissatisfaction with the young Arturia.
Artoria's goal is to become an ideal king, and the knights support an ideal king.
At first glance, it seemed that the two were harmonious. But Chen Xiaofeng discovered a problem - there was no gap between such a monarch and his ministers, and there was no room for Artoria, who was an ordinary person.
The girl who was destined to be a king from the moment she was born; the great knight who stopped aging after pulling out the holy sword from the pain, and won consecutive victories in twelve battles in ten years - the more perfect, the better
It's alienated.
Such a king will only be an isolated king no matter how long he reigns.
Chen Xiaofeng seemed to know why Arturia had always doubted herself before. Because she was isolated, she doubted herself.
Chen Xiaofeng looked at the girl on the throne, feeling inexplicably heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do about this established history.
Fortunately, Artoria still did a good job, no, she did a great job!
She effectively eliminated all enemy troops and minimized the number of people who would die due to being implicated in the war.
But no matter how hard we try, war is war, and as long as there is war, people will die.
That's why Artoria believes that sacrifices should be made in advance to reorganize the army, so that it can resist the enemy without any waste.
Before the battle begins, first squeeze out all the reserves of a village while reorganizing its armaments, and then use the army supplemented by these armaments to destroy foreign enemies before the territory is destroyed by them, thereby protecting ten villages.
Sacrifice one, protect ten.
This was the conclusion made by Artoria as the king. In fact, objectively speaking, this was the most suitable policy at the time. It was very cost-effective, and even Chen Xiaofeng did not absolutely have such a problem.
