The light continued and flashed through the sky on the horizon. In front of the scorching flash that seemed to be able to destroy everything in the world, all obstructions in its path were swallowed up.
Dazzling light reflected in Sanchez's eyes.
In those few dozen seconds, countless memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
He suddenly remembered the legend that spread from Britannia not long ago.
The legendary sword in the stone appeared in the land of Britannia.
In the future, a destined emperor will appear to rule this country and bring hope.
However, at that time, all the senior leaders in West France believed that this was a stupid move by Britannia to scare other countries and appease the people inside.
But now it seems that it is them who are naive.
Sanchez closed his eyes and lost consciousness almost instantly.
Arthur's current magic power is limited, and the magic power in the air of this era is also limited, so it did not last long.
When the light dissipated, a deep trench hundreds of meters long and several meters wide appeared in front of them.
The hilltop where Sanchez was located was also blasted with a big hole.
The entire battlefield fell into silence.
Only smoke filled the battlefield.
At this time, the sound of horns coming from nowhere resounded throughout the battlefield.
The soldiers of the West France Empire seemed to have found some outlet. They turned around and ran away without any hesitation. Some of them even lost their weapons because they were afraid of running too slowly.
The cannons, firearms and even the sabers were all left where they were.
Arthur's luminous cannon completely shattered their will to fight.
In the forest behind them, the soldiers and militiamen who came over were also looking at this scene slightly absent-mindedly, and the secret police led by Hagus were also among them.
He stared at the deep trench blasted out by the light cannon in the distance, looking at the destruction caused by the inhuman force.
Staring at the handsome young man.
"Is that the King of Destiny?" Mark whispered absentmindedly.
"Mark." Hagus whispered in a low voice, "Do you still remember what is written on King Arthur's tombstone in the British legend?"
"King of the past and future, King Arthur sleeps here." Mark said, and when he inserted the sword in the stone, he carefully studied the legend of King Arthur.
"People always believe that King Arthur is not dead." Hagus said in a low voice, "When the people need him, he will appear again."
Mark seemed to realize something and looked at Arthur in disbelief, "What do you mean?"
"King Arthur is resurrected." Hagus muttered absentmindedly, "He was born in Britannia and became a bloodline of the royal family."
Mark's heart was stirring, and he looked at Arthur in the distance. Although it sounded fantastic, after seeing the dazzling light just now, no one would doubt this statement.
However, just when they were in agitated mood, Arthur's legs and feet softened, and he collapsed on the ground and passed out.
Wolfe's expression changed, and he ran over quickly and came to him. However, after confirming that he had just fainted from strength, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head and looked at the remaining members of the cavalry regiment around him. Before arriving, there were probably more than 5,000 of them, but now there were less than 1,000 left.
If it weren't for Arthur, they would all be dead by now.
This
Wolfe clenched his fist slightly. The Maria Mountains suddenly fell and there was no help from the rear. This kind of thing was too coincidental.
When Arthur woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day. He only felt sore all over his body, as if he had been beaten violently all over his body.
What strikes the eye is a simple but warm room with wooden floors, wooden walls, and simple and plain curtains, which is very different from the mainstream decoration in Britannia.
However, what surprised him was that Xia Ya was sitting next to him, holding a big teacup in one hand and a saucer in the other, sipping black tea.
Sonny was also in the room, sleeping with his arms and legs spread out on the floor.
"This is the palace, where your mother used to live."
"My mother." Arthur's eyes dimmed a little, and he looked around, "Teacher, what kind of person is my mother?"
"I have never met your mother." Xia Ya said, "But you can ask Isabel, she should have a say in this matter."
Arthur fell silent.
"The magic power in this era is very thin." Xia Ya raised the tea cup in his hand and took a sip, "So, the Sword in the Stone cannot absorb much magic power from the surrounding air.
This is also why you lose strength.
The use of that kind of light cannon requires some caution. "
"I see." Arthur said.
"Also, Isabel said that a coronation ceremony will be held for you in the afternoon, the same process as when Victor appointed the regent.
Now is a special period. All procedures must be simplified. It is enough to announce your existence in front of the people of the imperial capital.
You still have time to get up and wash up. "
"So soon?" Arthur got up from the bed in a panic, "I'm not ready yet."
"The situation is not waiting for you. Last night, after you fell into coma, the imperial army ambushing in the Maria Mountains took action.
They successfully recaptured the town of Romil, but
In Victor's original plan.
He also prepared an army at Fort Burminck. When the West French army attacks the imperial capital, he will lead the "heavenly soldiers" to appear in the imperial capital at the right time to save the people of the imperial capital.
But when you show up, this army "no longer exists."
Prince Victor rushed back to the south overnight, giving the reason that he needed to go to the front line to supervise the battle in person.
The town of Romil, which had lost its support, was attacked from two sides. Although the troops organized by Isabel worked, they still suffered heavy losses.
Now, although the town of Romil is still defended, it is still in danger.
Isabel transferred an army from the west, about 100,000 people, mainly to defend Beichen and the Northern Russian Empire, but now that they are attacking Europe, they have all been transferred.
Including some sporadic troops, you have about 200,000 people in your hands.
But the coalition forces numbered 400,000. "
"Coalition forces?"
"The enemy in the east is not just West France." Char murmured in a low voice, "There are at least two countries' armies forming a coalition, and they all want to divide Britannia.
Although it looks like one to two on the surface, there are actually only about 120,000 people on your side who actually have combat effectiveness.
Isabel wants you to fight in this war.
Military merit can help you quickly gain prestige in the country.
If things in the east can be solved, you can also fully deal with things in the south. "
"I see."
Arthur nodded solemnly. Although he was very tired now, reality did not give him time.
He jumped out of bed and walked out of the room.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Arthur was taken away by the maids who had been waiting at the door early in the morning. They dressed Arthur in a military uniform.
Some are similar to German military uniforms. They are very slim and make people look upright and energetic. Especially when they combed Arthur's hair back into a bun, he looked even more energetic.
A dark blue cloak that resembled a quilt king was draped around his body.
The cloak is made of high-grade dark blue velvet, trimmed with white satin, and has a golden chain at the front. A palm-sized medal is also hung on the cloak. It is a knight's medal, which means that he is also a member of the Celtic Knights.
The Royal Celtic Knights all have to obey the owner of this medal.
Not only the cloak, there are also many medals on the military uniform, each of which represents a special meaning.
There was no need for him to think about anything, everything had been arranged by the royal family.
Therefore, Arthur was a little confused until he put on the military uniform.
A few days ago, he would never have imagined that he would become the ruler of such a huge super empire.
But since fate has pushed him here, he can only accept it.
Moreover, as the instructor said, if you want to change this country, power in your hands is essential.
"Originally, I was supposed to customize a set for you, but now I'm in a hurry. I can only use the military uniforms that His Majesty Moria used when he ascended the throne. When he was young, his figure was very similar to yours." The head maid was sorting it out. Arthur said while wearing clothes.
"Please follow me and we will go directly to the venue, Your Highness."
The head maid guided Arthur out of the palace, and a very luxurious open-air carriage had stopped at the door.
It was almost the same as when Victor was first appointed and dismissed, and even more luxurious. There were some gold foils on it, which shimmered in the sun.
And the difference is that there are many royal Celtic cavalry at the front wearing armor and riding horses, and Wolfe is at the front, watching him quietly.
Isabel is already waiting at the church and will put the crown on Arthur herself.
Arthur got on the carriage, walked along a long road shaded by trees, and left the palace as the carriage drove away.
The uproar came from not far away.
Countless people flowed across Arthur's line of sight. People squeezed forward hard, wanting to see the true appearance of Tianming who had pulled out the sword in the stone.
Arthur's handsome appearance was infinitely expanded under his careful decoration.
From old ladies in their eighties to little girls of seven or eight, the moment they saw Arthur, they were struck in the heart and let out ear-piercing screams.
Even men have to say something in awe at this moment.
The Imperial Guards worked hard to maintain order to avoid stampedes.
Tsunami-like sounds came and went, most of them praising Arthur and cheering long live.
This is much more powerful than when Victor took over.
After all, he saved the entire imperial capital the day he drew his sword. Such popularity is inevitable.
The head maid had explained this before, so Arthur smiled and waved in return.
Looking at the sea of people around him and listening to the roar of the crowd, his eyes appeared a little dazed.
Some people, in such a scene, will see power and supreme status, and their desires and ambitions will expand endlessly.
They were unscrupulous, taking everything for granted, even fearing that the water carrying the boat would capsize it, and used every means to oppress the people. This was the case for many emperors, and their ending was obvious.
But Arthur was different. What he saw were expectant faces, and he saw their expectation and yearning for happiness beneath their excited and excited expressions.
There were other images in his mind, of the crowds of people who were not allowed to be on this street to greet him.
They were faces of despair and numbness. There was no expectation in their eyes, only the numbness and emptiness of living for the sake of living.
That's a hole in this country, too, and it's going to get bigger in the future.
That is what he will have to bear in the future
The next chapter may have to wait until tomorrow morning to be posted. After coding, going to bed and then getting up to revise before posting will ensure some quality. Otherwise, I will be too sleepy and cannot revise it at all.
