This small world has begun to collapse.
People living on the earth are struggling. In order to continue to survive, people must make choices.
There aren't many options to choose from, just three.
Most of the people living in the mountains hide in the deep mountains and old forests, where they have nothing to eat but a place with barren mountains and rivers and no birds to poop in. It is not the first choice of most people.
The small towns and oases surrounding the Grand Temple of the Sun King are a good choice.
Unfortunately, monsters are rampant in the desert. There are countless dangers hidden in the wind and sand with fangs exposed, making it difficult to pass through safely.
There is no doubt that a majestic, safe, clean, well-fed, and holy place like a paradise is the best choice.
In order to survive, some Saracens were even willing to put aside the humiliation of occupying the Holy Land Jerusalem after it was destroyed by foreign knights and accept the protection of the "Lion King".
However, the Holy City will not accept everyone.
The Holy City will hold a "Holy Extraction" ceremony to select qualified people and enter the Holy City to receive asylum.
Through his EX-level clairvoyance, Ren saw a holy ceremony that took place three weeks ago.
The chalk city stands tall.
Hundreds of refugees in ragged clothes, haggard looks, hungry and cold stood in front of Gawain, who was called the "Knight of the Sun", looking at the top of the city with hopeful and longing eyes.
Further out, stood a group of human-shaped iron lumps.
These are soldiers called "solemn knights". They wear heavy armor with cold metallic light on their bodies and exude a cold and ruthless aura.
The refugees were subconsciously afraid of them and huddled together, not daring to approach them.
'They are probably maintaining order...'
Because of this thought, the refugees did not panic.
"Human nature is corrupt and ugly."
The long-awaited person appeared. She was wearing a silver mask decorated with snow-colored down. The armor covering her tall figure was gleaming, and she was as powerful as hell.
The cold female voice lingers between heaven and earth, ruthless and indifferent.
"Therefore, I will conduct a selection and select those souls that will never be stained. Select those souls that will never be shaken by evil. This is the human being who will never be stained."
The Lion King's voice was so indifferent, and there was no trace of emotion.
Bright light radiated from her palms, blowing gently over the hungry and cold refugees like a breeze.
The next second, four sacred, bright golden light pillars soared into the sky from the four distant refugees!
The person shrouded in the golden light is the "eternal and untainted" person that the goddess needs.
"Bring them in."
These were the last words of the Lion King. Her tall and graceful figure immediately disappeared from the top of the city, leaving behind the refugees who looked at each other.
For hundreds or nearly a thousand people, four places are too few.
Many refugees showed signs of despair, but something even more desperate happened.
"Sure!"
When they were still a hundred steps away from the refugees, a group of solemn knights wearing armor and swords roared and blocked the way of the refugees.
"Sure!"
The remaining solemn knights drew their swords, exuding cold murderous aura, and charged towards the refugees.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
"Crazy, these guys are crazy."
"Help, help!"
The refugees' faces instantly turned pale as paper and they screamed in horror.
Some people tried to resist, some jumped in panic, some even knelt down and begged for mercy...
Unfortunately, a siege has been formed, and the solemn knights, like sophisticated killing machines, swung their butcher knives on the defenseless people without hesitation.
Poof!
That was the sound of the cold blade cutting through the muscles and bones. Every time the swords in the knights' hands were slashed, bright red blood would burst out!
The waving swords intertwined with wisps of cold light, accompanied by spilled blood.
People's limbs were instantly separated, their heads were in different places, and they fell down one by one wailing.
The butcher's knives of the solemn knights were harvesting lives. Resistance, begging for mercy, pretending to be dead, and hysteria... all had no effect.
Wherever they stepped, there were only mutilated and bloody corpses lying in the gradually expanding pool of blood.
"enough!"
On a small slope not far away, a petite girl appeared at some point.
Her eyes were splitting, and she couldn't bear it anymore, but her originally clear voice revealed suppressed anger to the limit.
Uh-huh! !
The next moment, the extremely bright sword light circulated, sweeping across and pouring in like a galloping force, and the distance of several miles was covered in an instant.
The bright sword light flashed, and the body movements of dozens of solemn knights stagnated and their limbs began to dislocate and separate. The remaining limbs were stained with blood and were thrown away!
However, they did not leave any real corpses behind. The remaining limbs overflowed into a white light rain in the air and disappeared quickly...
Obviously, these solemn knights are not normal humans.
'A familiar, or a golem? '
The girl's eyes narrowed, and her offensive did not stop. She charged at a high speed while waving the gorgeous sword in her hand.
Swish!
The sword energy was flowing vertically and horizontally, and the atmosphere made bursts of rapid whistling sounds.
The sharp sword lights cut through the void, but they avoided the refugees as nimbly as a swimming fish. Instead, Su Zheng was dismembered in the sword lights from time to time, with his body missing!
This hand seems to have spiritual and exquisite sword energy, which has undoubtedly reached the inhuman realm.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of solemn knights fell.
"Who are you?"
The sudden change alarmed Gawain, the "Sun Knight" in front of the gate of the Holy Capital.
His face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his fingers turned slightly white from clenching them so hard, but he was able to suppress the trembling "Sword of Rotating Victory" in his hand.
The resonance of the holy sword, this feeling...
"Next, it's your turn. Gao Wenqing, the one who betrayed the faith of the Knights of the Round Table!"
After defeating a group of miscellaneous fish, the girl's eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.
"You...you are..."
Gawain was stunned, and his eyes were a little dull as he looked at the girl who was rushing towards him like lightning.
This familiar face is a memory he will never forget.
"Don't you recognize me? Knight Gawain?"
Artoria threw away the cloak she was wrapped in. The silver armor with blue lines on her body shone brightly. She revealed her exquisite face, and her holy green eyes were filled with anger.
Her aura is particularly intimidating.
With red dragon bloodline, a huge amount of magic energy flows through the girl just by breathing. She is also the King of Britain, so she naturally carries the pressure of a superior.
She is not a Servant, but the real person.
"Is it you? This is impossible..."
Sun Knight's pupils suddenly dilated, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Qing Gao Wen, what is the declaration of the Knights of the Round Table?" Artoria asked sharply.
"First, never kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Second, never betray your colleagues!"
"Third, observe the etiquette of knights, hoe the strong and help the weak..."
Gawain subconsciously stood upright and replied, but he suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence.
He couldn't speak anymore.
The shame in my heart couldn't be greater. Oh my God, what on earth was he doing during this time...
Arturia's face was covered with frost: "So you still remember it, so what are you doing now?"
"I……"
Gawain felt bitter in his heart and did not dare to look directly into her eyes.
"The Lion King" is undoubtedly their king.
He didn't understand why the former King of Knights appeared, but she was definitely not a fake.
"Where are Kay, Lancelot, Percival...Gaheris, Galahad, Boss and the others? Why didn't anyone stop you?" the girl asked expressionlessly.
"them……"
Thinking of his colleagues who killed each other at that time, Gawain hesitated.
"answer me!"
"They are dead, Percival, Kai... They resisted the king's will and were killed by me, Lancelot, and Mordred..."
Sun Knight Gawain took a deep breath, managed to calm down his chaotic mentality, and answered bravely.
"Kai, Percival...they are not wrong. Should you blindly follow the king's orders, or resist the king for the sake of morality and conscience? Gawain, your choice really disappoints me!"
The more Si Dai thought about it, the angrier she became. Not only was she targeting Gawain, she hated herself in this world even more for giving such a cold-blooded order.
"King, because I believe you (Lion King) are right..."
Gawain murmured.
He actually knew that the king might be wrong... but he regretted that the personal grudge between him and Lancelot had led to the king's defeat and death in battle. This time, he had to support her no matter what...
For this reason, he did not hesitate to abandon his conscience as a human being.
"Ignorance! Cowardice! I officially declare that you, Tristan, Lancelot, Aguewen, and Mordmore will be expelled from the Knights of the Round Table! You are not worthy of being called a knight now!"
Arturia gritted her teeth and said very heartless words.
"..."
Gawain's face became even more bleak and he was in a trance.
In fact, the girl is not a knight king in the main world.
After a period of time in the life of an ordinary girl, she was no longer as strict in her behavior as before, and she was not as persistent in the rules and regulations of chivalry as she had been in the past.
However, the honor and dignity of knights have already penetrated into her bones.
Killing each other and fighting with roommates made her heart bleed.
Massacring those unarmed innocent people was too much of a challenge to her bottom line, and she couldn't bear it.
"Why...you also appear in this world?"
Gawain's last trace of luck was lost, his expression was very painful, and the brilliance of the holy sword in his hand also weakened a bit.
He thought he wouldn't be confused anymore.
Abandoning chivalry, abandoning conscience, and humanity... Even if there is hell ahead, I will step into it with the Lion King.
but……
"It's not important. Sorry, I'm not actually your king... Do you want to continue now? For the Lion King?"
"Well... I'm sorry, I have no way out."
Gawain closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them, his eyes became extremely dim.
"Then draw your sword!
If you still insist on your so-called Holy Ba, then try to convince me with your sword and kill me here! "
Arturia shouted loudly.
After all, these are not her knights, and she will not let them surrender and admit their mistakes in the name of the king.
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have swung my sword at you, but now I am not qualified to talk about life and death. Therefore, even if you are also the king, I can only defeat you here."
Gawain's eyes showed a look of struggle, and then disappeared.
"Very well, you have forgotten the dignity and creed of knights, and since you are unwilling to look back, let me defeat you!
Or you can kill everything that stands in your way for your persistence! "
Artoria took a deep breath, and the new holy sword in her palm flashed with bright golden light, clear and brilliant.
On the contrary, the "Holy Sun Sword" in Gawain's hand kept trembling, and its brilliance like the sun was a little dim.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The "Sword of Rotating Victory" is also a holy sword. Facing the "Sword of Oath of Victory" which has the same origin but is more powerful, it will be naturally suppressed, but this is not the case.
There seems to be something wrong with the holy sword in the hands of this King of Knights...
Before he could think about it, Artoria had already launched an attack.
The girl suddenly stepped forward and slashed, and the sword light shot out, like a crescent moon falling, with the power of destroying everything!
"Please forgive me!"
Gawain sighed and had no choice but to face him with his sword.
Clang!
The golden sword energy like a crescent moon and the blazing sword light like the blazing sun collided instantly. In the center, a surging magic power swept across all directions!
In the strong wind, the two of them fought together, the sword lights intertwined and flickered.
The aftermath of the sword energy swept across all directions, the earth cracked, and deep cracks were cut out.
But after a moment, Gawain was suppressed and beaten back steadily.
'The king has become stronger...'
She slashed him away with all his strength, and stabbed him with a sword casually. He had to retreat to avoid it, and Gawain was shocked.
A dozen swords were fired just now, but they were all easily destroyed. Instead, he was beaten in a hurry.
"You are already upset. The numbers of the saints and the blessings of the Lion King are useless... It's okay, just lie down and calm down."
Magic power surged out from her palm, and Arturia slashed him away with her bright holy sword.
The next second, a peerless sword intent that shattered the sky and split the earth shot straight into the sky!
Her hair danced in the surging flow of magic power. Arturia swung the new holy sword in her hand, and a torrent of golden light beams immediately burst out from the sharp blade!
But in an instant, even the air was blown away!
"This sword is the incarnation of the sun.
It is the sun's flame that burns away all impurities, "The Sword of Revolving Victory (Excalibur Gallatin)"! "
Gawain had to bite the bullet and free the holy sword.
The situation changed, and the magic power fluctuations between the two people compressed to the extreme.
Maybe it's too close, maybe it's something else.
Neither of them had fully charged the light of the most powerful holy sword, and they rushed towards each other.
Boom──! !
The atmosphere let out an unbearable wail, and two extremely bright shining lightsabers crossed and collided with each other!
On one side is a blazing beam of light like a sun disk.
On one side is a torrent of golden particles.
The two torrents of light beams collided and intertwined, and a huge explosion sounded. The boiling energy climbed up the blue sky in a spiral tornado shape, and the sea of clouds dispersed with a roar!
The range rapidly expanded and spread to all directions, like fire falling from the sky.
There was a stalemate for several seconds.
The blazing sun-like light of the holy sword Gallatin gradually dimmed.
Artoria pressed the new holy sword forward, and the rushing golden torrent annihilated the sun's flames, sending Gawain flying like a cannonball!
Bang!
The earth was instantly torn and cut by the golden light flow, and the energy aftermath roared and rolled up countless soil. The terrifying high temperature left scarlet magma lines in the cracks!
The Sun Knight, who was knocked away by the golden stream of light, also fell helplessly into the dust.
The invincible Gawain fell.
'Sorry, I have to knock her down...'
The light of the holy sword dissipated, and King Da Mao took a deep breath to calm down the restless magic power in his body, and stepped directly towards the city gate.
This result has already been determined.
She is stronger than before, and can fight even that annoying Kim Pika.
He is only slightly worse than Ren, but his strength is at least comparable to that of a special A-level hero like Karna.
And what about Gawain?
There is no doubt that he is extremely powerful at the moment. The "Nevernight" blessing perfectly matches the numbers of the saint, and his strength is almost exceptional.
But his mind was confused, his sword skills were messed up, and even his hand holding the sword was unsteady...
Being knocked over three or two times is completely normal.
“It’s so sad that it’s time to kill each other again.
My aloof king, I never imagined that I would see you in such a posture,"
The sound of pulling the bow string suddenly sounded, and the demon string vibrated wonderfully in the air, sending balls of air flying.
Bang bang!
Several sharp vacuum arrows suddenly struck, and as a direct warning, the sword light in Artoria's hand intertwined and shattered all the air blades!
"As expected, we are old friends, but it's still not as expected by the King (The Lion King)."
A cold voice sounded, and a knight with a gloomy face and black armor walked out of the main entrance of the Holy City.
"Tristan, Agaguiwen, you are here too."
Arturia stared at the two uninvited guests and had to stop.
"My dear friend, the Sun Knight praised by thousands of girls, is he so unbearable?
It is really sad that Shengba was like this by you. The king does not need incompetent, disloyal and wavering people. It seems that I should kill you personally to defend the majesty of the king. "
Outside the city gate, the handsome red-haired man looked at Gawain who fell in the dust, with a cold and cruel smile on his face.
He is holding a bow-like harp-like demon string, which is Cui Sadness.
Next to him, stood a man in black robes. His face seemed to be carved out of steel, cold and rigid.
This man is Ageguiwen, who has a cold personality and can express his emotions and anger. He is called the iron Ageguiwen who does not know pain.
The Secretary of the Round Table is mainly responsible for the internal affairs of the country.
Although he is disliked by most people, no one doubts his ability and credibility.
At this time, he chose to assist the Lion King in establishing the Holy Capital and conducting the Holy Blessing, and did not require any additional blessings.
Agguiwen is the highest assistant to the Lion King and her only nominal personal follower. He is even the highest-status person in the Holy City besides the Lion King.
As for Xiao Mo and Lancelot, as guerrilla knights, they are not actually in the Holy Capital most of the time.
"Tristan? It seems that you have changed a lot. After you are no longer sentimental, you are almost unrecognizable to me."
Artoria's face darkened.
The rules are the same as before, but Tristan is so abnormal that he is completely different from before.
"The Lion King gave me a reverse blessing, so that I, who was originally sentimental, could carry out the King's orders without hesitation!
It's a sad irony, but I think it tastes wonderful. "
Seemingly sensing her doubts, Tristan smiled and explained.
After killing several close friends who had lived and died together under the Lion King, he chose to reverse the blessing.
From then on, he cut off all the emotions in his heart and became a cold-blooded beast who abandoned his humanity and conscience and only fought for the Lion King.
After receiving the blessing of reversal, Tristan's traits that were not conducive to fighting were reversed, and his character became extremely cold-blooded and cruel. Even his biggest weakness in life, the "poison system", became immune to poison attacks.
The better a person is, the more cold-blooded and cruel he becomes after accepting the "reversal".
Cui Sadness, who was originally at least nine white and one black, has become nine black and one white, which can be said to be broken.
"How do you feel about killing your former companions? Your Excellencies."
Seeing Tristan's posture, Arturia's eyes flashed with anger.
It’s not just about this “child of sorrow” who has gone bad.
After all, it was that guy's "blessing", which is so hateful.
She had to defeat her, she had to end this.
"I'm just following the king's orders."
Agguiwen said in a deep voice, but looking at the girl's beautiful face, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
It's not just him.
Just looking at the cold-blooded Cui Sadness, I was a little shaken, but I didn't show it.
This posture of the King of Knights has been seen for a long time.
Maybe their current king (the Lion King) has indeed changed.
