Chapter 498: Made a Decision
No!
Lancelot could not accept this outcome.
After 30,000 years of hard work, the British Starfield had finally succeeded.
If such a disaster happened again, no one would be able to accept it.
In that case, would he have to become the King himself?
Lancelot’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
He thought of the King who had fought side by side with him, those warriors, and Guinevere.
Finally, Lancelot closed his eyes and said slowly, “How about this? You guys carry out the first plan first. If you fail, come and look for me to discuss the second plan.”
Although he said that, Lancelot knew that he had already made a decision. He just needed time to think about it.
“No problem. I hope that Knight Lancelot can make a good decision in the next few days.”
“Thank you for the coffee. It tastes very good. I like it very much.”
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Seeing this, the red-robed man also left.
What was he thinking? The man was lying on the sofa alone.
…
“What do you think, Lancelot?”
A question interrupted Lancelot’s thoughts.
It made him walk out of his previous memories.
As he expected, the person who went to find King Arthur was imprisoned. The first plan had failed.
He had to make a decision.
Lancelot knew that once he took this step, there was no turning back.
Since he was young, he had a very good relationship with King Arthur. He was in a competitive and respectful state towards King Arthur.
He did not expect that he would end up on the opposite side of her this time.
‘But I am not a traitor. I am doing this for Guinevere, for King Arthur, and for the entire British Starfield.’
Thinking of this, Lancelot’s face turned serious and became resolute.
He raised his neck and drank the red wine in his hand in one gulp.
He stood up abruptly.
“I agree with your second plan and your conditions. Now, tell me how to do it.”
“Okay!”
Seeing that Lancelot agreed, the black-robed man and the Saxon man looked at each other and saw the smile in each other’s eyes.
“Then let’s talk about what we should do next.”
Seeing the two people surrounding him, the black-robed man continued to say:
“Since we want you to become the King, we don’t need to use too many fierce methods. Let your higher-ups deal with it internally.”
“Knight Lancelot, how many of the Knights of the Round Table can you persuade to stand on your side?”
Sensing the gaze of the black-robed man, Lancelot pondered for a moment and said, “There are 100 Knights of the Round Table, 30 of whom belong entirely to the King, and about 20 who often oppose the King. The rest are mostly neutral. If I don’t have enough benefits, even if I know about the King’s matter, I can only rope in these 20 to 30 people who oppose the King.”
“It’s not a big problem. This is some private records of other Knights that we have found out.”
Saying that, the black-robed man handed a sealed document to Lancelot, indicating that he could take a look.
After taking the document, Lancelot tore open the seal and quickly skimmed through the contents of the document.
After reading it, Lancelot could not help but feel aghast.
This was because it was full of the various private lives of Knights, including all kinds of illegal records.
He did not expect that so many Knights had been investigated thoroughly.
Lancelot felt a chill down his spine.
“This should not be enough. We will provide you with enough gold coins, a stick, and a sweet date. I believe that this should be able to attract a lot of people.”
Looking at the chest full of gold coins brought by the red-robed man, Lance smiled helplessly.
Who would be able to withstand the risk of both money and leverage?
“With these, I should be able to have more than half of the Knights. Abandoning the remaining neutral ones is enough to threaten King Arthur.”
“With your words, we can rest assured. If there are any other needs, you can contact me. There are still some of my people in Central City.”
The Saxon raised a glass of wine and smiled.
“Then there’s no need. With this, I can complete it. I don’t need the kindness of you Saxon people.”
Lancelot disdained the Saxon people’s so-called help.
In his opinion, his previous decisions would be for Guinevere, for the King, and for the entire British Starfield.
If he really accepted the help of the Saxon people, then he would be no different from a traitor.
How could he face the people who had fought for the galaxy for 30,000 years?
The red-robed man smiled at Lancelot’s attitude and did not care.
“Come, come, let us drink a toast to our future cooperation. Let us celebrate our successful cooperation.”
The black-robed man walked over with a glass of red wine and handed a glass to Lancelot.
“A toast is fine, but I have something to say first. If I become the King and you guys play tricks, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
After taking the red wine, Lancelot warned the two of them seriously.
“No problem,” the two of them said in unison.
They looked sincere on the surface, but they didn’t know what they were thinking in their hearts.
“Cheers!”
Lancelot looked at them deeply and raised his glass.
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
A collaboration of different thoughts began just like that.
…
Time passed very quickly. A month was about to arrive.
In the palace.
Because the black-robed man’s arrival had interrupted what Artoria wanted to say, she had not mustered up the courage to tell Guinevere the truth. She could only keep busy with government affairs and could not stop herself.
Guinevere also acted as if nothing had happened and continued to take care of her King.
At the same time, there was an undercurrent in Central City.
Lancelot also began to act.
But he was right.
Even if he hinted at the King’s gender and his desire to be King, other than the opposition, the other neutral people would not support him at all.
It was only until he used the gold coins given by the black-robed men and the leverage of the Knights that they finally yielded.
In the end, he managed to rope in 60 Knights.
There were a total of 100 Knights at the Round Table. Except for 30 who were loyal to the King and a few who were neutral, he managed to rope in the rest.
With the help of these Knights and the weakness of the King, Lancelot was confident that he would succeed.
The time was set for the day after tomorrow. It was the last round table meeting before the ceremony.
The King and the Knights would decide on the final procedure of the ceremony.
At that time, Lancelot would stage a coup.
After successfully ascending to the throne, he would take the place of the upcoming King Arthur and marry Guinevere at the ceremony.
Thinking of this, Lancelot could not help but feel excited and a sense of heroism welled up in his heart.
If not for that rune, he believed that he would not be inferior to King Arthur.
He would surpass King Arthur and become the most outstanding King of the British Starfield.
At this moment.
After a long night of traveling, the three main characters finally arrived at the Central City of the British Starfield.
