Chapter 497: The Plan of the Black-Robed Man
It was the same words again.
But this time, Lancelot did not refute immediately and fell into silence.
He did not know whether he should do it or not.
On one side was the 30,000 years of friendship between the King and the minister, the bits and pieces of the past were still in his memory.
On the other side was the woman he fell in love with, her sweet smile was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Seeing that Lancelot had fallen into silence, the black-robed man and the Saxon did not disturb him. They waited quietly.
After a long time, Lancelot spoke.
“If I really did as you said, then what about the King? What other conditions do you have? You can’t possibly come to help me for free, right?”
Lancelot laughed self-deprecatingly.
“If you become the King, then of course she will abdicate. I think she must be tired from the war from the age of 18 until now. Moreover, with her past achievements, I believe that the people of the British Starfield will understand her.”
“This should be the best ending for her, right?”
The black-robed man laughed.
Lancelot did not say anything and drank the red wine in his hand in one gulp.
“As for our conditions…”
“Do not attack the Saxons from behind.”
The red-robed man who had been beside him spoke first.
This was the purpose of the Saxons coming here.
They were originally stronger than the British Starfield, so the invasion was so easy at the beginning.
But with the appearance of King Arthur, the British Starfield gradually turned the tide.
In the following 30,000 years of struggle, the British Starfield slowly withstood the pressure, and even gradually surpassed the Saxons.
Not long ago, they sent out spies to learn of a piece of news that made them panic.
That was that King Arthur was preparing to launch a counter-invasion against the Saxons after a month of ceremony, so that they could also experience the pain of an invasion.
One had to know that the British Starfield was stronger than the Saxons, so they were very afraid of the other party’s attack.
Moreover, after fighting for 30,000 years and losing the war, the Saxons were also very tired. They wanted to rest well and did not want to continue fighting.
So when the black-robed man came to him, he immediately agreed.
Although he did not know the background of this mysterious black-robed man, it was enough as long as the goal was the same.
Lancelot knew that they were going to invade the Saxons.
This had been proposed by King Arthur at the Round Table meeting a few months ago.
She felt that the time was ripe. The situation was on their side, and they could take advantage of the situation to counterattack the Saxons.
However, there were some knights who did not agree. They thought that the war had been going on for too long and that their homeland had been taken back. They should rest and recuperate.
Moreover, if they were to counterattack, it would be an away game. Many things could not be predicted.
Lancelot was one of them.
However, King Arthur suppressed all of this with her prestige and decided to hold the oath ceremony later.
Seeing that the King had made his decision, Lancelot and the other knights, although they still had some opinions, did not say anything else.
They did not expect that the conditions proposed by the Saxons would coincide with his thoughts.
He could accept this.
Then, he looked at the black-robed man who was slowly drinking his coffee.
After calmly putting down the cup, the black-robed man stated his conditions.
“That was the condition of my ally. My request is to hand over the rune of your British Starfield to me.”
Speaking of the runes, the black-robed man’s expression became solemn.
“Hmm? Rune?”
“What is that thing? Does our starfield have such a thing?”
Lancelot frowned.
He did not expect that the black-robed man’s condition was this.
He had never heard of this thing before.
The Saxon man’s eyes were filled with confusion as well. He was interested in the thing that the mysterious black-robed man wanted.
“Since I’m here, I’m sure that there is one. It’s an Offensive Rune, and it’s in your King’s Sword of Victory.”
“As for what the rune is? Only the royal family or some powerhouses know about this item. Yes, you can understand it as a tool to increase your strength,” the black-robed man said concisely.
“I see.”
The two of them nodded silently.
Lancelot understood.
Why could the King’s strength increase so quickly, and why his lethality on the battlefield was so strong.
So it was because of that Offensive Rune.
And this was information only known to the royal family. No wonder he didn’t know.
Thinking of this rune that could increase his strength, Lancelot was a little tempted, but he quickly suppressed that thought.
The Saxon people also understood.
So it was because of that rune that King Arthur became so powerful.
If it wasn’t for it, they might have already occupied the entire British Starfield.
If they had this rune, wouldn’t they be able to create a warrior that was similar to King Arthur?
Thinking of this, the red-robed man’s heart burned with passion.
At this moment, the villa was very quiet.
But the three of them had their own thoughts.
“Last question.”
Lancelot looked at the black-robed man and asked in a deep voice, “If I don’t agree, what do you plan to do?”
This question was very crucial, and Lancelot was afraid that they would mess around here.
Hearing this question, the black-robed man slowly poured a glass of red wine, shook it, and then looked at Lancelot.
“Actually, our first plan is to go directly to King Arthur and explain our request. This is the easiest way to save trouble, but with King Arthur’s personality, I don’t think she will agree.
“So, I came to find you to be on the safe side.”
Lancelot nodded. With the King’s personality and identity, it was indeed difficult to agree.
If she handed over the rune, then her strength would be greatly reduced.
Without strong strength, it would be disadvantageous for her to intimidate others.
Therefore, Lancelot guessed that she would very likely refuse directly.
Moreover, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, she would decisively lock the people in the future directly into prison and monitor the entire city to monitor the foreign population.
It had to be said that Lancelot really understood their King.
“If you don’t agree and this second plan fails, we will spread the news that King Arthur is a woman in the entire galaxy and spread rumors.”
“I believe that the people of your galaxy might not all support King Arthur, right? When the time comes, with some guidance, I believe that chaos will soon appear.”
“Your ceremony will probably be very difficult to continue. At this time, let the Saxon people attack your border defense.”
“Under internal and external troubles, the British Starfield will definitely be under a lot of pressure. Even if they win in the end, they will not be able to recover.”
The black-robed man coldly stated their final plan.
Hearing this, Lancelot’s expression changed.
Because he knew that the black-robed man’s words were very likely to be true.
If they really did as he said, neither the King nor the British Starfield would end up well.
