Davidian's Holy Grail War
Page 53
Artoria knew this would probably make Davian think, but she still wanted to try; she couldn't just watch Davian end up all alone.
Davidian fell into deep thought after hearing her words, and then he said:
"I don't have that idea, not now, and probably not in the future."
This is my own problem, and I'm afraid people will think I'm weird, but I don't care.
Moreover, compared to these personal matters, I hope I can do more for you.
“You have done so much for me, my Devian.” Artoria smiled, and the two walked down the city wall together, as people around them greeted them with joy.
Their popularity and reputation in Britain are now beyond imagination. With the Dragon Knight David and the Knight King Artoria, Britain is sure to have a bright future.
Just then, a man rushed up to the two of them. Judging from his panting, Davidian knew how anxious he was.
Not to mention that David knew him; he was Ulano, the company commander of the 10th Reconnaissance Company. What could be causing him to be so anxious?
"Report! A coalition of fifteen kings, led by King Liens and King Loth, has declared war on King Arthur!"
David was stunned.
Chapter 93 Actively Prepare for War
Upon receiving this news, the entire Arthurian court immediately sprang into action, with each event more outrageous than the last. This time, a total of fifteen individuals declared war on King Arthur, and they were well-equipped and prepared.
On Artoria's side, the veterans have undergone ample training and are arguably the strongest force in Britain at present. However, the majority of the troops are new recruits, and their losses after defeating Vortigern were too great.
After hearing about this, David locked himself in his room and refused to see anyone. That day, Winchenrib heard David smashing things and roaring angrily outside the room.
From Wincenrib's perspective, Davidan's anger was probably because he was very unhappy with the treacherous behavior of the northern kings, which made him furious.
But the truth is not so. David's anger was not because King Leons chose this time to declare war on them, but because of King Loth's involvement.
He never expected that King Roth would get involved again. After sending Gawain and his two brothers over, how could he still dare to cause trouble at a time like this? Has he gone mad?
No, he's not crazy. Perhaps, besides his own ambition, someone else is fueling it.
She was still relentless; Agravity's betrayal hadn't swayed her in the slightest. She continued to try every possible way to get rid of Artoria, whether openly or covertly, she would stop at nothing.
Davidian was furious and distressed by this, but she still wouldn't give up; she remained the same. If once didn't work, she would try twice; if twice didn't work, she would try three times. She truly tried everything.
So now David has come to a conclusion and made a decision. He has to do this, even if it might cause a lot of trouble afterward; he must find an opportunity in the upcoming battles.
So he walked out of the room, and Winchenrib saw Davidan like this for the first time. His eyes held a ferocious light, the result of making some terrible decision, and carried a deep aura of destruction.
If you were to face someone like David, all the enemy would probably want is to be able to leave with a whole corpse.
"Commander, are you alright?" Winchenrib was very worried about David's current condition, which was very dangerous and could be described as being on the verge of destruction.
"Do I look like something's wrong?" David asked casually, but the more he did so, the more worried Winchenrib became.
"Winchenrib, go and tell the First Legion to prepare for battle. This time, the enemy is probably even more anxious than we are. Be prepared to fight as soon as the temperature rises."
I'll go to Ke Qing's place later to allocate enough winter supplies. Remember to distribute them to the brothers. I want to see a fully equipped First Legion by spring.
However, when he saw that David was still able to give accurate orders, Wincenrib finally felt a little relieved. Thank goodness, he could still give orders, which meant he was still quite calm, so there shouldn't be any problems.
After David finished speaking, he immediately headed towards Kellett's office. When he arrived, Kellett had just finished his work and was about to take a short break.
Seeing David arrive, he couldn't help but seem a little surprised, and subconsciously activated his sarcastic tongue: "Isn't this the bravest and most powerful knight in the Arthurian court right now? What are you planning to do here in my shabby little place?"
"I'm here to trouble you with arranging winter supplies for the First Legion. Lord Kai, please stop talking like that. I may not care, but if others have a problem with you and gang up on you, it will give the King a headache."
Davidian wasn't advising Kai from his own perspective, but from the king's. After all, every king desires greater unity among his subjects.
After being told that, Kai decided not to make a fool of himself. His sharp tongue was completely ineffective against someone like David, so he quickly addressed David's needs.
But before Davidian left, he stopped him and said, "This is a rare opportunity, let's go for a drink together?"
This was a rare invitation from Kai, and David was also surprised. Over the years, he and Kai had never had a drink together privately, not even once. So why was Kai suddenly contacting him like this?
"The main thing is that I've had a question for many years, so I wanted to ask you. If you don't mind, let's talk while we eat."
Davidian didn't refuse, and he and Kay went to the restaurant. Soon, waiters brought them hot food and wine. Davidian took a sip to moisten his throat before saying:
"So, Kaiqing, what questions do you have for me? Please speak freely. As long as I know the answer and can tell you, I will definitely tell you."
"It's actually a very simple question: when did you and King A-Wu meet? As far as I can remember, you've never been to our village before that day. You two had never met before."
If Merlin really sent you to seek refuge with her, then what you've done is far too much, and your relationship with her is far too intimate. It's not like you're complete strangers meeting for the first time.
Kai's doubts boiled down to this one thing: Artoria had always lived with him and Hector, so she shouldn't have met Davian. Yet their relationship didn't seem like they had never met before.
David was stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "You didn't know?"
"What do I know?"
Kai was also stunned. What did he know?
"Things from a dream."
Davidian never imagined that Keishan, who was so close to Artoria, would be unaware of this matter; it was somewhat unbelievable.
"What happened in your dream?"
Kai was completely dumbfounded. Something from a dream? No way? Just a few hours... could it be...?
"It happened in a dream. Artoria and I met in a dream."
Merlin's magic put the three of us into the same dream space.
There, I refined my swordsmanship through sparring with Artoria, while Merlin taught Artoria the knowledge of being a king in a dream. It's that simple.
David told him the truth. He really didn't expect that Kai wouldn't know about this. Artoria hadn't told him.
Kai was truly dumbfounded. He couldn't help but ask, "So, approximately how much time? How much time do you spend doing this every day?"
"About three hours."
With a snap, Kaiqing broke the wooden spoon in his hand with his thumb.
If we were to describe his current mood, he would probably say he is furious.
He really wanted to draw his sword and kill Merlin. How could he be so ruthlessly deprived of just three hours of sleep?
Is that idiot really that serious?
"So you're quite clear that she never really had a proper rest? Her mind never relaxed for a single moment during those eleven years?"
"I know that it is precisely because she is this kind of person that I vowed to fight for her to the last moment, even at the cost of my life."
Even if all of Britain becomes her enemy, I will fight for her, even if it means killing everyone in Britain.
Chapter 94 Barren Britain
After his casual conversation with Kai that day, David returned to his normal life of military preparedness. The entire First Army actively began preparing for the war in the coming year, and they spent the New Year in the barracks once again.
Fortunately, many in the First Legion were still unmarried, and David often advised them that it was time to settle down. Their response was always, "Oh yes, yes, Commander, you're absolutely right. Then why aren't you married yet?"
Then Davidian said nothing more. What could he say? It was better to say nothing at all. As for Tristan, he'd recently gone on an adventure.
Davidian didn't know where Tristan planned to go, but he didn't stop him. After such a series of battles, Tristan was probably feeling restless; it was time for him to relax.
The First Legion's membership gradually recovered to four thousand. After such a long period of time, they finally began to slowly restore their original organization.
But now Davidian is somewhat worried. He seems to have led the First Legion too simply, spending all their time training and preparing to go to the battlefield.
Then they return, continue training, and prepare to go to the next battlefield. Though his mission is to break the endless cycle of war, he must lead them into one war after another.
He was unconsciously turning them into war machines, and he feared that if things continued this way, the First Legion would get lost in an endless cycle of war. Would that really be a good thing?
Does Britain truly have no future? They've been working so hard, yet they see no hope for peace.
He slowly transformed the First Legion into a weapon as cruel as the Dark Sword, but if the First Legion were truly turned into that, how could humanity live?
He fought for Artoria's ideals, and for that he was willing to become more indifferent and ruthless.
They were simply adhering to their inner beliefs, for the sake of a future together with the people, but in doing so, they sacrificed even more people.
Davidian has been silently pondering how to fulfill Artoria's wish and bring a bright future to Britain.
Unfortunately, he can't even find a solution to the most basic task—to let Britain end its peaceful slumber.
If things continue like this, Davidian feels that future will become the cruelest reality.
Britain will still be ignited in endless war, and she will stand atop mountains of corpses and seas of blood, lamenting the fate of all Britain.
Suddenly, a hand landed on his shoulder. David turned around and saw Artoria in her armor. He immediately stood up and asked, "What's wrong? What happened, my king?"
"The challenge has arrived. They've challenged us to a duel at Telebil Castle. What do you think?" Artoria handed the challenge to David, who glanced at it and then smiled.
"That's good, let's do it over there. I'm not worried about ambushes or anything, let's have the final battle there. If we take care of them, the North should be able to fall in one battle."
Davidian drew his dark sword and crushed the challenge letter with the dark energy on its blade.
Since a war has been agreed upon, then so be it. This time, they will resolve the problem of the northern Picts once and for all, and make them behave themselves.
Hearing his words, Artoria raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but smile. She couldn't help but say, "Oh? You also think this is the most suitable time to pacify the north?"
"Yes, my king. This battle has subdued all the kings of the north, and then we can begin to wipe out the foreign tribes. Your time to rule the whole of Britain will come soon."
"After so many years of hard work, it seems we're finally about to do what we want to do. David, time flies."
Artoria smiled; they were achieving their goal step by step. If things continued this way, perhaps one day they would be able to do things they had never even imagined before.
