"——"
I don’t know how much time passed before everything calmed down.
The battlefield has turned into a mess like ruins, and there is heat wave-like smoke everywhere, telling others what a fierce battle was fought here.
"Qiang..."
With a slight sound like gold and iron, Artoria (Alter) finally lowered the holy sword in her hand, letting the storm of magic power surging around her body calm down.
No one could see Artoria's expression because Artoria's back was facing everyone present.
However, even so, people can still see a little loneliness and a feeling of a late hero from this back.
Seeing Altoria like this, everyone felt a little distressed for some reason.
Especially Lancelot, who had been watching, watched the two companions leave and closed his eyes.
There was heaviness all over his face.
Grief radiated from him.
It is conceivable that the First Knight of the Round Table did not feel the departure of Mordred and Tristan at all.
However, even so, Lancelot did not intervene in Artoria's sanctions and watched all of this going on.
This made everyone's attention finally turn to him, the only one who survived.
"What? Do you feel pain?" Joan of Arc (Alter) was the first to break the silence and said sarcastically: "In that case, why didn't you help them just now?"
Although it was hit in the spiritual core, Lancelot's spiritual core was obviously only impacted and not damaged. Otherwise, Lancelot would have already had problems.
Now, since Lancelot can still stand and mourn his companions, it proves that he is not exhausted and can still take action if he wants to.
But Lancelot never made a move from beginning to end.
the reason is simple.
"This is their way of loyalty and I have no right to interfere."
Lancelot said this in a deep voice.
"To be loyal?"
Jing Ming was a little stunned.
"..."
Matthew lowered his eyes, as if he could understand because he was also a Knight of the Round Table.
Luo Zhen also said nothing and watched silently.
Only Jeanne [Alter] frowned.
"Can that be considered loyal?" Jeanne d'Arc [Alter] said noncommittally: "The way you Knights of the Round Table show your loyalty is to sacrifice for the Lion King?"
Obviously, Joan of Arc [Alter] believed that what Lancelot meant by loyalty was that Mordred and Tristan were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to carry out the tasks assigned by the Lion King.
However, this resulted in an unexpected and violent reaction from Lancelot.
"We, the Knights of the Round Table, are loyal to King Arthur! Not the Lion King!"
Lancelot suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.
"...!"
Everyone was immediately shocked by Lancelot's shouts.
"..."
Only Artoria (Alter) still had her back turned to everyone, as if she had not heard these words and remained motionless.
But this did not prevent Lancelot from venting.
"Why do you think I'm waiting for the Round Table to serve the Lion King?" Lancelot's emotions were revealed, and he shouted desperately: "It's not because of the Lion King's ideals, but because she is the king I'm waiting for!"
"Qing Tristan regretted leaving the Round Table and leaving behind words that were like a curse, so he vowed this time that no matter what, he would fulfill his unfinished loyalty and fight for the king!"
"Although Mordred is a rebellious knight, she has stronger feelings for my king than anyone else. For the king, she has only two choices, either to be loyal to the end or to rebel to the end. She witnessed the Lion King's transcendent form. After realizing her divinity, she chose the former, and for this reason she was willing to be the Lion King's hound, even if she didn't have the right to live in the Holy City!"
"I, and the Round Table and others, will only be loyal to King Arthur from beginning to end, not the self-proclaimed Lion King!"
"We all want to fulfill our unfinished regrets during our lives, that's why...!"
Lancelot said this, and then lowered his head in great pain.
Seeing him like this, everyone fell silent.
"I see... "
"I said how could the Round Table choose to be loyal to the Lion King..."
"This is the reason"
Roman, Leonardo da Vinci and Olga Marie sighed in Chaldea.
Before, everyone had been wondering why the glorious and noble Knights of the Round Table wanted to serve the Lion King and do such evil things.
Now, everyone understands that the Round Table people have not lost their conscience, nor have they fallen. They are just imprisoned by the regrets of their lives.
Just like what Luo Zhen said before, the Round Table is also a human being. They all have their own thoughts and therefore have their own ideas.
Lancelot told everyone that the reason why the people of the Round Table served the Lion King was not for anything else but to fulfill their last wish.
Even Lancelot is like this.
After all, during his lifetime, Lancelot had an affair with the princess, broke with King Arthur, and killed his companions, which led to the rupture of the Round Table and the end of King Arthur. In the end, in order to save King Arthur, he rushed thousands of miles away, but because of being Being blocked by Gawain who hated him, he could only fight with him until the sun went down.
And when he killed Gawain, who had lost the protection of the sun, and went to support King Arthur, King Arthur was already dead.
He failed to catch up after all, and regretted it for the rest of his life.
The first knight of the Round Table neither fulfilled his duties as a knight nor protected his king until the end. He lived in pain all his life without relief.
Under such circumstances, Artoria appeared, proclaimed herself the Lion King, and summoned the Knights of the Round Table. Of course, the Knights of the Round Table, including Lancelot, who still had regrets, would make up their minds. This time I will definitely follow The Lion King forever.
For this reason, Tristan gave up his selfishness and received the blessing of "Reversal". Mordred did not hesitate to gain strength at the cost of his soul and received the blessing of "out of control". Even Lancelot tried to avoid being swayed by justice. Confused, he vowed to see the overall situation clearly as an individual, and then received the blessing of "Mourning".
This is all for King Arthur and for loyalty.
I'm afraid, even Gawain is like this, right
Because he was blinded by hatred, he stopped Lancelot who came to rescue King Arthur, causing King Arthur to die because he was not rescued. Gawain regretted it until his death.
Therefore, this time, Gawain will desperately protect the Lion King and become the guardian of the main gate of the Holy City, praying that the sun will never set and he will never be defeated. Whoever wants to see King Arthur must obtain his consent.
"Except for Agguiwen, who has selfish motives and has no idea what he is planning, the rest of the people at the round table chose the Lion King out of loyalty!"
Lancelot made a somewhat painful sound.
"But the Lion King is no longer King Arthur. He has turned into such a ruthless and cruel king for some reason."
This matter must have become a worry in Lancelot's heart, so he didn't complain about it just now, right
It seems that the Knights of the Round Table also don't know why the former King Arthur became deified and became the current Lion King.
then...
"I think the reason why King Arthur became deified is because of the Holy Spear."
Luo Zhen suddenly said this.
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
