"Don't you want the [King] to save Britain, but let the people of Britain save Britain themselves?"
After thinking for a long time, Arturia asked Boudica.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that France does not feel like it is its own country at the last singularity point in France.
Rows of figures standing side by side with Joan of Arc appeared in front of Artoria.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this, this unique point in Rome, that Rome glows with such vitality.
The densely packed tents inside and outside the fortress and around it also caught Arturia's sight.
To be honest, these soldiers who can only use cold weapons cannot play an important role in the process of repairing the singularity.
However, the fact that they appeared here voluntarily is enough to prove that this country called Rome should not be destroyed at this time.
At least not until they die.
And these soldiers will definitely be able to exert a power that will surprise everyone in the end.
If you want to ask why, they are the real protagonists of this singularity.
Boudica nodded in agreement with Artoria's words, and then continued:
"The identity of the king is not that important to me. If I think back carefully now, the emotion that really made me rise up to resist was not the emotion caused by the violation of the king's country and the restriction of the king's authority. On the contrary, The only emotion that determined my fight at that time was pure anger against Rome————”
Having said this, Boudica paused and showed an embarrassed smile to Artoria.
"Of course, after actually appearing in Rome and seeing the people of Rome, the anger towards Rome also turned into anger towards the thugs. The people in Rome are actually no different from everyone in Britain... We in Britain are not perfect saints, and we are not without thugs among us."
Even the thugs may have their own difficulties.
There are no pure evil people in this world.
If Animusfia were here, she might be able to cite a British blond vampire as an example.
But that’s just entertainment creation after all.
There may be a possibility that evil people who regard everything that humans hold dear as trash exist, but that possibility is extremely slim.
"Is that why, Sir Boudica, you are now helping Rome, the one you should hate the most?"
"Do you hate it the most? ... Although it's not really like it, it can't be considered disgusting after everything that happened recently. And isn't our enemy also Rome?"
Boudica turned to look at Artoria and said:
"In the final analysis, the victorious queen (I) did not become the victorious queen because of her rebellion against Rome."
What truly makes Boudica a victorious queen is herself.
"The identity of [King] is certainly important, but there are many [Kings] from ancient times to the present. What truly determines what kind of king you are is exactly what is left after you abandon the identity of [King]."
She looked at Arturia's armor that completely turned into pitch black and the light that turned into darkness, the holy sword, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved.
"Although I can't say which one of you is better now than before, but I can be sure of one thing, Artoria————"
Boudica gently placed her hand on Artoria Alt's shoulder.
"No matter what the result is, such an attempt must be valuable to you."
In her short life, Artoria had never had the experience she had with Boudica at this moment.
I'm afraid that despite being a king, Boudica is still a loving mother.
She was raised by Merlin without her parents.
Although he has a nominal father, King Uther, that King Uther may not have fulfilled his father's duties as much as Merlin.
Now it seems that the person Arturia has more affection for is the nightmare Merlin who feeds on human emotions.
Arturia, who was unable to distinguish the difference between family affection and admiration when she was a child, once had a ridiculous incident like confessing her love to Merlin.
Looking back now, that was Artoria's past.
After pulling out the Sword of King Selection, Arturia became Arthur, the knight king who forgot himself and dedicated everything to Britain.
So much so that after stripping away her identity as the King of Knights, she was nothing.
.........
It was precisely because she had completely forgotten about herself that Tristan Qing left such words as saying that she did not understand people's hearts when she was leaving.
It was precisely because she had completely forgotten about him that Sir Lancelot was so angry with him.
However, how can Artoria find herself now?
Find yourself other than the King of Knights.
To become myself who still has a certain identity even if I am not the King of Knights.
Artoria nodded slightly, she didn't know what to do.
Compared with other heroic spirits who have no doubts in their hearts, she is still a little naive and immature.
"That being said, there is no need for you to look for answers now."
Looking at the expression on Artoria's face, Boudica was keenly aware of what the girl in front of her was thinking about.
"People often say that becoming a Heroic Spirit is equivalent to having a second life——————In that case, in this second life, during the journey with the Master, you can realize what possibilities you have. Have sex.”
Boudica cast her eyes towards the tents in the fortress.
The faintly flickering lights in the tent reflected the shadows of Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka sleeping side by side on the seats.
Arturia also followed Boudica's gaze and looked at the tent behind her, and then rarely put down her cold emphasis.
"good."
**********
On the other side of the Rhine River, silent figures quickly shuttled through the dense black forest against the backdrop of the night.
They look like some kind of wild beast, but they have human hair and faces.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear and distinguish their harsh and vague words.
But their snake-like long tails and dense hair on their bodies distinguish them from ordinary humans.
What is even more eye-catching are the huge lion heads protruding from the chests of those monsters.
If I have to describe it, these creatures are more like monsters that are a blunt fusion of humans and beasts.
The purple light lingers and fills the bodies of these monsters, controlling the bodies of these monsters like magma flowing in the earth's veins.
And left traces similar to enhanced magic on the monsters' bodies.
"Chimera"
This is the term used by Michael VIII to refer to the [Germanic people] who were forcibly fused with beasts by magic.
The successive major defeats on the front line have caused the "United Empire" to lose the strength to compete head-on with Rome in the military formation.
However, even so, the divine ancestor still sat on the throne with a calm and composed attitude.
Michael VIII could not understand.
Compared with the Augustus "to the west", he also lacked the necessary respect for the so-called founders of Rome.
Michael VIII's name was "Basilius" rather than "Augustus".
His capital was Constantinople, not Rome.
Although calmness is a quality that a commander should have, Romulus, who just sat there calmly and had no countermeasures, found it difficult to convince Michael VIII.
So he found the magician privately.
The [United Empire] needs more troops.
