However, upon hearing the knight's praise of Morgan, King Uther did not show a happy expression, but instead looked a little heavy.
As the King of Britain, he seemed to have noticed something.
He stood up and asked a slightly strange question to the knight in front of him.
"Morgan has defeated the same army these few times, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The knight replied respectfully, "What your Royal Highness defeated was Vortigern's minions. Before that, no one could stop him."
"Her performance is excellent, and your teaching is extremely successful. We will win."
King Uther turned his back and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, there was already a bit of disappointment in his eyes - Morgan's victory didn't seem to be a good thing for him.
"knight."
"exist!"
"Pass an order to Morgan to relinquish control of the troops and be transferred from the front line immediately."
"What, what?!"
The knight couldn't believe what he heard - the king in front of him actually asked his daughter, who had great military achievements, to give up command of the army?
Does this mean that the king is no longer wise because of his old age?
Despite all the doubts in his heart, the knight still maintained respect for King Uther on the surface.
"Your Majesty, your decisions are always correct and full of wisdom."
"But Her Majesty the Princess has made great achievements in battle. Is it a little bit to transfer her at this time..."
King Uther turned back and looked at the knight in front of him who was hesitant to speak.
He is no longer young.
But that doesn't mean he's becoming stupid.
"Knight, Morgan is Gu's daughter, Gu knows her better than you."
"No need to be suspicious, just do as you are told."
"Yes!"
Looking at the knights walking away, King Uther let out a long sigh.
A king who doesn't have enough quality to support but wants to be the top - tragedy often comes from this idea.
If this source is not removed, there will be endless disasters in the future.
but--
That is her daughter after all.
Even as wise as King Uther, it is difficult not to be mixed with his own emotions.
[The situation is starting to look a little uncomfortable. 】
[You find that the menacing troops led by Morgan begin to gradually withdraw, as if they were the ones who were defeated on the battlefield. 】
[You realize that something may be going on that you don't know about. 】
[You start to investigate secretly. 】
[This is not a secret that cannot be told to others. You soon learned that Morgan was transferred from the front line by King Uther and will leave in a few days. 】
[You have no idea why King Uther did this - this is obviously a good opportunity for Morgan to make a name for himself in Britain. 】
[You soon realized that you couldn't just sit back and wait for death. You didn't allow Morgan's wish to end here, even if the person who ended it was her father, King Uther. 】
[You have a new plan - a plan that uses your life as a bet. 】
Under the moonlight.
Ian was walking inside the military camp.
On his waist was the long sword that Morgan had given him when she left - she told him to use it only when assassinating Vortigern.
And tonight is that moment.
Although it feels like the time is not as ripe as imagined, and the action is not covert enough.
But Ian knew he was running out of time.
If she didn't kill Vortigern before Morgan was transferred from the front line and dedicate all the results to Morgan, she would never be recognized.
That's definitely not what I want to see.
As a loyal knight, he would not allow Morgan's future to go in a direction that deviated from her wishes.
[You come to the tent where Vortigern usually rests. 】
[Although you have been defeated by Morgan many times, no one is surprised by your current behavior because of your previous military exploits. 】
[You grip the sword at your waist tightly, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Vortigern. 】
[But things didn’t develop as you imagined. 】
[After opening the curtain, you found that there was no one inside. 】
[At this moment, a figure appears behind you. 】
A sigh came.
"Young man, you finally chose this path."
"I feel sorry for you."
10.No one knows your loyalty
Ian looked back.
I saw Vortigern standing outside the tent, and the moonlight fell on his body like gauze, as if it was dyed a little white.
The eyes that had experienced the same years as King Uther were now flowing with complex emotions.
Ian knew that Vortigern in front of him already understood that he was here to assassinate him tonight.
"When did you find out?"
Ian asked coldly.
Now that he has been exposed, he is no longer as silent as before.
"Well... you want to talk about these things."
Vortigern walked into the tent alone - he was not afraid of Ian who came to assassinate him.
"Perhaps since you said you wanted to kill the enemy but didn't swear allegiance to me."
Only then did Ian realize that his cleverness had not escaped Vortigern's eyes.
He saw everything.
"Vortigern, you are not qualified to ask me to do this. I will only be loyal to..."
Before Ian could finish speaking, Vortigern spoke in advance:
"Named Morgan, the daughter of King Uther, right?"
"Your successive defeats were just to please her. You didn't even let her know about it. You just silently shouldered all the infamy."
"Ian, do you think it's really worth it?"
There was no blame in Vortigern's words, more like an older sage persuading the younger generation.
Ian knew that this was swaying his mind, and he immediately replied;
"worth!"
"There is nothing wrong with a knight bearing infamy for the sake of the one he swore allegiance to!"
"But if the person you swear the oath chooses to sacrifice you just for his own selfish desires." Vortigern looked directly at Ian in front of him, "Do you still think there is no problem?"
"Private desires?"
"That's right." Vortigern let out a long sigh, "You are a princess, but you are present at the battle line. You have never commanded, but you have won one after another."
"As long as you look at the overall situation, you can see that there is a big problem - it's all just to show off your clumsiness in front of your father."
"I should have been grateful that this stupid act led the British army to a place of eternal destruction, but I didn't expect that my brother's mind had not been dulled by time and saw through it all."
"It's such a shame."
[Vortigern’s calm narration allows you to fully understand the reason why Morgan appeared on the front line of the battlefield. 】
[You are glad that King Uther is wise and was not fooled by his daughter's tricks. 】
[But your loyalty remains to Morgan. 】
"No, His Majesty transferred the Queen for other reasons!" Ian countered, "It's definitely not what you said!"
"Is there any reason for my brother to transfer a general who has achieved such a record from the front line?" Vortigern pointed out the problem without mercy.
"Is he worried about his daughter's safety?"
"But if this was really the case, she wouldn't be allowed to go to the battlefield in the first place."
"..."
Ian was silent.
In fact, he had already felt all that Vortigern said just now.
but--
That's Morgan.
The person you swore allegiance to.
No matter what she does, she should accept it!
[You pulled out the blade Morgan gave you and stabbed Vortigern. 】
[As a former knight of Britain and now a minion of the White Dragon, your offensive is fierce and swift. 】
[Talent Combat Continuation++ has been replaced by Death Heart++: You have started the assassination of Vortigern. You have a premonition that you will die here, but before that, your attention will be completely focused on the assassination. Regarding Vortigern. 】
[But just like when I first met Vortigern, as a humble king, he has unimaginable intuition, and it is difficult for your attacks to be effective against him. 】
[You burst out of the tent and arrived at the center of the military camp, attracting a large number of soldiers. 】
[Talent Agent++ activates. 】
[Dark clouds obscured the bright moon in the sky. Everyone except Vortigern mistakenly identified you as Morgan because of the blade in your hand. No one questioned this. 】
[Vortigern's strength is far superior to yours. While he is avoiding your attacks, he is also constantly counterattacking. The wounds on your body are increasing. 】
[Talent is activated by fighting for life. 】
[The pain of the wound wakes you up. You realize how dangerous the humble king Vortigern is. He may become a stumbling block for Morgan in the future. 】
[So even if you really die here today, you are determined to do more for her. 】
[Your body begins to exert abilities far beyond normal, which frightens the soldiers who want to come over to help. 】
[Vortigern has only seen your strong will when you are trying to survive, but has never seen your courage when you are determined to die. 】
[Taking this opportunity, you finally left a scar on his face. 】
[But that’s all. Vortigern reacted quickly, and you were quickly knocked to the ground. 】
"Stop."
Vortigern stopped all the soldiers who wanted to get closer.
"You all get out of my way."
No one dares to disobey the White Dragon King.
In the dim night, Vortigern bent down, looked at Ian lying in a pool of blood, and sighed.
"Young man, no, I should call you Ian."
