I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 79 The End of Dawn

#
The valley behind the Cornish coast
A tall, muscular young man with long black hair, bare-chested, bearing a golden, anchor-shaped sun sword mark on his chest, stood on a high place.

This was Seleucus, whom later generations called the 'victor'.

Unlike his blond appearance in the Army of Kings, he was not in his legendary form later during the War of the Successors after using the power of the 'God of Bows and King of Swords' from the bloodline of the Father God Apollo.

He was merely an ordinary guard officer under the Conqueror King, who was favored by the king and parachuted in to command a legion, but was not a true commander.

At this moment, he stood at the top of the canyon, watching the chaotic battle below gradually come to an end, but he seemed to have no intention of participating at all.

They simply allowed Suya's cavalry to rout the phalanx from the flank, watching as the phalanx crumbled like a faulty precision instrument, link by link.

The legion below, named the 'Seleucus Legion,' is actually Philotas's private army.

He was transferred here merely to ensure that the plan would proceed in the direction Wang had envisioned.

Seleucus, who appears to be always in the legion, is actually just a manifestation of his will created by combining the 'Eye of the Sun' with Aristotle's metaphysical magic.

A powerful magic similar to servant summoning, requiring a legendary appearance and divine bloodline for humans to withstand its side effects.

Seleucus's primary class is swordsman and his secondary class is archer, but the Servant appearing here is a completely unrelated one, a berserker who is far weaker than him.

The outside world has always believed that Berserker is his true class.

but,

His true form was currently lurking in the central army camp on the north side. He had probably already single-handedly stopped the rebels on the Golden Flower Plain and cut off the heads of Parmenion and Philotas, and was returning to report to the king.

The real Seleucus had just unleashed his Noble Phantasm, summoning Apollo's golden sword, which consumed a large amount of magic power. He also paid a significant amount of magic power, and it was only through the magic circuits connected to this side via the magic core that 'he' came to understand what he truly was.

No wonder he's been feeling a bit mentally challenged lately. Despite having the 'Eye of the Sun God,' he was fooled by a thousand-faced dragon, which even caused him to slip up in front of the king and be seen through by Parmanuel.

but,

Although the plan took an unexpected turn, leading Parmenion to secretly cooperate with Philotas in launching a rebellion and even transferring some of his cavalry comrades away right under his nose,

Ultimately, however, he still managed to defeat the two traitors and annihilate more than 2 rebels by miraculously flying the bricks.

And now-

Seleucus slowly raised his hand, the patterns on the Sun Sword on his chest glowing faintly.
Countless golden particles condensed into a black-gold longsword in his palm.

Sword name: [The Power of Gold]!
This is a golden sword inherited from Apollo, graded A+, its origin being a blessing left by Apollo for the son of God.

As for its power, a single strike would likely annihilate Suya and the others who seemed poised for victory.

"So, should we kill them here?"

Seleucus couldn't help but ask himself,
This question originated from the perspective of the main body—neither the main body nor the ministers before the royal throne had ever seen Suya, and they were unaware of the character of this young man who might become the 'Queen'.
then,

The decision was then left to him, who had personally witnessed Sua's appearance, to decide whether the new King of Britain was qualified to have an audience with the royal family.

"Is he of good character?"

Seleucus muttered to himself, pondered for a moment, and then frowned slightly.

He didn't know how to evaluate it.

Judging from Suya's behavior, he was despicable and shameless in battle, lacking any chivalry. Everything he did seemed to be for his own benefit. Calling him a knight would be an insult to the word.

However, in terms of the outcome, he accomplished the miracle of reorganizing King Uther's 3-strong army with only 300 men, and when devising the breakout plan, he also aimed to ensure that as many people as possible survived.

As a king, he was of noble and benevolent character, even to the point of being somewhat pedantic and womanly. However, Seleucus thought about it,
Is this what a 'Queen' looks like?
And most importantly——

Seleucus recalled the look of delight on the king's face when he mentioned Sua, as if Sua were a priceless treasure, when he brought Hector to the king's audience.

He shook his head and waved his hand, dispelling the black and gold longsword in his hand.

The decision on whether this person is worthy to be 'Queen' shall be made by the King himself.

Seleucus glanced down one last time, confirming that Sua and her group had completely wiped out the last remnants of Philotas's army.

then,

As a guardian of the night, his body transformed into golden particles, quietly drifting away into the approaching dawn.

the other side,
"In this battle, our side suffered more than 6,000 casualties, and the number of wounded is currently difficult to count."

"We have captured over a thousand warhorses, more than two thousand Sarissa spears, and over a thousand intact Greek bronze breastplates. This is enough to arm another battle group."

A battlefield in complete disarray.

The shoreline, reflecting the moonlight and shimmering in the water,
Suya gazed at the full moon sinking into the sea, listened to Meryl's tally of the battle results beside her, turned around sharply, and asked:

"What about Seleucus?"

"Isn't this guy here?"

Previously, Suya and others had arrived outside the coconut grove at a little after 3 a.m. and were lying in ambush. Under Lukan's insistence, they waited until Gonet launched a full-scale attack before choosing to strike.

This was to guard against the possible appearance of the Seleucus.

According to Lucan, even the weakest hero can take on a thousand men single-handedly; the advancement from Master to Hero represents a dramatic change in one's life level.

The "thousand" in this phrase, meaning "one is worth a thousand," refers to a thousand people who all have job positions and are considered high-level professionals.

Suya's three thousand elite cavalrymen were the only possible last line of defense to hold off the enemy and allow the main army to cross the canyon and reach the Golden Flower Plain.

However, even after they had annihilated all the Macedonian soldiers, they still had no trace of Seleucus.

Mary shook her head
"We have already sent out cavalry to scout, but the reports that have come back all say that no trace of Seleucus has been found."

"Moreover, it seems there are no pursuers behind us."

Suya thought to herself, "Isn't this a good thing? Then let's run away quickly."

Mary seemed to be waiting for something.

Soon, a figure galloped in on horseback from the other side of the canyon; it was Dagonet, who had gone out to scout intelligence outside the Goldenleaf Plains.
By this time, Sua was no longer surprised that Dagonet, the knight, was also a thief.

And then,
Dagonit, however, with a look of horror and terror on his face, galloped up to Sua and swallowed hard, as if he wanted to say something.

Suaton asked curiously, "Secretary Dagonet, what's wrong? What did you see?"

Dagonet took a few deep breaths, trying to calm the panic in his heart, and stammered:

"I saw it, I saw it!"

"The sun has fallen to earth!"
