Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

"It's not good! It's not good! The eldest brother was killed by the eldest father again..."

"Brother!!!" "Don't die! Brother!!"

"I'm not dead yet, so I'm mourning here, right?! Ah? What a bunch of bastards!!"

With three hundred evil hearts, even the Emperor Wu was at a loss: 36 Sakaz and Sakota

After the battle ended with a slight injury, Bodrokas left the red dragon lying on his back and gasping for breath to the little snow monsters that gathered around him, and chose to leave.

But this does not mean that patriots who have always paid attention to the safety of little ones to avoid accidents will ignore the content of the controversy that the snow monsters have not restrained at all.

"He will not be my son."

Walking into the pine forest, Bozokas made a low voice.

"Osward Artoris, who will eventually become the king, must not have a [traitor] as his father. This will be a fatal stain for him to be attacked by enemies after he ascends the throne."

People are judged by their traces and speak from the heart; the patriot admired the red dragon who was able to guard the isolated village for days and nights without wanting to leave, which gave him a good impression even after meeting him for the first time.Otherwise, he would not have taken the seriously injured Drake out of the dangerous ice field and brought him back to the northern guerrillas, risking a certain amount of risk for him to recuperate here.

Because Bozhuo Kasti believes that the red dragon who can persevere in the desperate situation for the sake of the old people he has never met... can see the whole leopard by knowing one spot, and will never harm them in the future - Wang Yingying The behavior and qualifications of a king are what the ancient Wendigo upholds and firmly believes.

And it turns out that he didn't miss it.

From the time when Red Dragon came to the northern guerrillas to now, it was almost one of the happiest times in his long life.

Although he will not directly participate in the guerrilla war against the Ursus army, he has obtained resources;

Perhaps that kind of behavior style and temperament are completely different from those of his former master... But precisely because of this, such a casual red dragon adds a lot of sunshine-like warmth to the originally difficult life of the northern guerrillas. .

Even the children who were once afraid of his own existence would pester him by the bonfire at night, crawl on him, and ask about the stories of his military service...

Being pulled together to soak in the warm pool water, enjoying the luxury that the North should not have; watching the lingering clouds and mists rising into the night, in a trance, even he, the Wendigo, had the idea of ​​"What if this is the case" It’s a good idea that the days last forever].

After all, it was for the sake of a peaceful life that he brought his tribe to Ursus a hundred years ago with a large group of Sakaz who had the same idea. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on people later...

But I never thought that the wish I had made a hundred years ago would actually come true today.

Therefore, just from this point of view, if this young red dragon, who is also helpless and the only remaining lone king of the ethnic group in the world, is treated as his [son] and taken care of like Yelena, Bozhuoka Siti will also feel that this encounter is a kind of luck.

And the rich life experience allows Wendigo to easily guess the cruel power seizure that took place in Victoria from the fact that Draco, who was supposed to be extinct due to extermination, is still alive.

In fact, whether he answered the red dragon's questions knowingly or without hesitation, or responded to his desires, Oz's ability to be on call was somehow completed or even strengthened, and Oz began to grow rapidly again. Hua De's sparring partner... is essentially a father who is not good at words and does everything he can for his son.

It is undeniable that in the deepest part of Bozhuo Kasi's heart, he is transferring the expectations that the parents and children who died because of him have to this Drake, whom he is quite optimistic about.

Especially Oswald's style, which rather than resorting to ideals in words, would rather take action to solve the immediate problem, is very much in line with Wendigo's taste.

But there is still a problem.

It's not because of the red dragon, but because of the situation that Bozokas caused for himself.

——Unlike his former child Grovalzel and his adopted adopted daughter Yelena; as the leader of Drak who inherited the name of Artolis, Ozwald must become an emperor worthy of this glory.

And the emperor cannot have a father who has betrayed the country twice as a [traitor], even if he is just a foster father... No similar suspicion can be attached to him.Those young men who were driven by desire and did anything to gain profits could not see the reality of the choice made under the king's force. They only saw the mistakes caused by this choice and the benefits it could bring to themselves.

What's more, even for him, Bozhuo Kasti, and [Patriot], betrayal has always been a lingering bitterness for him.

A hundred years ago, for the sake of his tribe, he betrayed his homeland of Kazdare and came to Ursus;

Two years ago, for the sake of the child who died because of him, he betrayed Ursus and became his enemy...

He is a shameful traitor and his life is full of betrayals.

Therefore, I shouldn’t get too involved with that Drac, all I have to do is hand over my experience as a warrior to him; on the road to becoming the King of Drac that I accept and identify with, and is gradually getting stronger. enough nutrients.

"That's enough..."

The only listener did not agree with this approach.

"Hmph, my mother-in-law's old guy."

"And what about you, Sword of Rutland."

Hearing this, he tilted his head slightly and stared at Sakota, who was wearing a white robe that had been washed countless times with scarlet eyes in his eye sockets:

"It's very different from the rumors I heard when I was still serving in the Ursus army; from your sword, I don't feel the iron will and tenacity that a strong man should have.

As a result, even those small Carters could not defeat them, which apparently caused the young Archduke Artolis to lose his life.

Do you regret taking up the sword as a warrior?Lord Metatron. "

"I just don't know how to swing it more appropriately; it's just that simply cutting it has no meaning and can't change the problem... so I sealed the sword."

Metatron shrugged and casually answered Bodrokas's reasons for why he was like this.

But soon, he smiled again.

"If there is something that I may regret in this life, it must be why I couldn't kill all those demon brats who took pleasure in plundering from this world!"

At this moment, Sakota, who had long golden hair and was as handsome as a hero who stepped out of poetry, was swirling with an unimaginable vortex of murderous aura.

But this only lasted for a moment, and soon the cyclone that made the patriots frown dissipated; Metatron returned to his original gentle and indifferent appearance, even a little decadent.

With three hundred evil thoughts, even the King of Wu is at a loss: 37 Sakaz and Sakota II

"It can be seen that you dislike my clan very much; the Sword of Rutland."

"... In this world, there may be love that is eternal for the first time, but there is no hatred for no reason, Bozoukas, Your Excellency."

Metatron shook his head, not denying what Wendigo said that he disliked Sakaz, but at the same time he did not fully agree.

"What I hate is what they do, their joy in looting and killing; I hate their violence and barbarism that destroys law and order.

If they wish to do the same to you, Bozokas will do it for you.

If you and the group you led were tired of fighting, and sincerely wanted to seek a land where they could live, and traveled across mountains and rivers to Ursus or other countries...then, even if we had never met, But as long as you have difficulties, I will never be stingy in helping you.Just like what the Cyclops who were one of the Kazdare royal courts did with you Wendigo when I was in Sami.

If you abide by the law and enjoy peace, then I will not hesitate even if Ursus, Great Yan, Letania... or even us in Lateran want to kill war-weary [innocents] like you. Drawing my sword, I used my best ability to make those people splatter five steps with blood;

If my life can give you Sakaz a peaceful and peaceful future, then you can take it. I will never complain, and will only send you songs and blessings at the end of my life. . "

As he spoke, Metatron tilted his head, exposing his neck; and made two sword-like scratches on it with his two fingers.

Although the movement was random, Bozhuo Kasti could feel it; there was absolutely no false will in the Sakota in front of him - if there was such a day as what he said, he would really not hesitate to do it for Sakaz. Willingly giving up his life.

Just like how he kept the command and sealed the sword without hesitation.

However, Metatron's sincerity soon turned into mockery.

“But can they do it? Can they give up looting and feed themselves with their own hands?

Of course, they may think that "feeding oneself with both hands" means using both hands to hold weapons, hack down our Rutland caravan, and then take away the supplies from the corpse that can keep them alive... If that's the case , then they are indeed [supporting themselves]. "

"...That is indeed the current situation of the majority of our race."

After a brief silence, Bodrokas spoke for him:

"My people enjoy the fear of most races, including your Rutland; this is an indisputable fact."

"Yes, the mercenaries of Sarkaz enjoy the scolding of other races [demons] and are proud of their notoriety; but when we, who are always plundered and unbearably disturbed, formed a crusade team, we are always They kept saying that the various countries in Terra did not allow their existence and despised them as rootless demons.

They seem to have never thought about why we launch wars and destroy the cities where their looters gather again and again when we can't get any benefits; we have invested a lot of manpower and resources... but there is no gain. gained. "

Metatron sighed.

What the countries of Terra cannot tolerate and are hostile to is never the Sakaz ethnic group itself, but what they do; it is just because of the nature and culture of the Sakaz that they always associate their ethnic symbol with this As an equal sign.

"In fact, it has never been difficult for Sakaz to live peacefully; our current Pope in Lateran has always had the idea of ​​seeking coexistence among differences, and there are many monks who take care of him. They met the Sakaz children, adopted them, and got along well with them."

And it's not just them Rutland.

During Metatron's 17-year journey throughout most of Terra, he saw many people who gave up the habit of fighting and looting and got along quite harmoniously with the locals.

Including but not limited to the hometown of his friend Oswald, who cannot return; it is also the Victorian capital where Sakaz complained the most and feared them; there are also people who rely on their own efforts to make their neighbors accept them. There is a recognized good boy.

Same thing with Sammy.

"Even for Your Excellency Bozokas, you Wendigos, who are already known for their terror and ferocity in Sakaz, and who practice cannibalism as a custom, all have the desire to live a peaceful life and get rid of disputes, and they have indeed done so. It’s the consequences of action, isn’t it?”

The Sakaz came to Ursus a hundred years ago and survived here.There were even many people who entered Ursus' army and served the talented and wise late emperor.

The people of Ursus at that time accepted them and worshiped the Wendigo Heavy Armored Legion, whose sharp blade defeated the empire and established the martial virtues of the empire, as well as the leader Bodro Kasti.

And even though the outsider's status as an outsider ultimately limited his achievement to that of a captain and was unable to obtain a higher honor in name, all the generals of the legions who passed through the emperor's era had a consensus - if they wanted to select a general in the army at that time, If you are a marshal, then it will definitely be the Ursus lieutenant who was born in Kazdare, Bodro Kasti!

These are all living examples, proving that even the so-called [Devils] are actually a group that can be accepted by others and coexist with them.

The only requirement, and difficulty, is whether the Sarkarz are willing to pay for the impression created by past violence and plunder, and take action to prove to people that they can coexist.

This is a job that takes a lot of time and effort.

But more Sakaz don't want to waste time to change, don't want to spend effort to get people to accept themselves; they enjoy the quick and convenient benefits that violence can get.

They even spurn the idealists who want to lead them to change.

"Did you know that Your Excellency Bodrokasti, when I was still in Sami, I had heard of Theresia; that wonderful Lord Demon King;

When we heard that after we and our brothers struggled to build a city-state from the cracks, we began to try to operate and even trade; how happy were I and my one-eyed friends? "

They caroused for the news for a long time, drinking local wine and holding a celebration with simple food.

Both Metatron and the Cyclops who have integrated with the local area are singing songs, praising the names of Theresia and Traces, for the changes that this person is making...for them He was happy to try to bring Kazdael, who had been exiled from the various countries of Terra, back into normal society.

At that time they were thinking;

The endless and meaningful feud between Sakaz and Sakota for thousands of years has finally come to an end.Although there will inevitably be some friction in people's minds in the years to come, in general everyone should be able to live as a member of this earth.

But it turned out that they were just overthinking.

Out of the illusion of a better future, the Cyclops with superb prophecies made a choice that made them extremely bitter - they looked at the future of the emerging Kazdaele.

The reality makes them despair.

There is no such thing as Kazdaele's prosperity and development with other countries... there are just countless wars and killings.

In other words, the brother and sister have been at war with each other since a few years ago.

Even the banner of the Demon King could no longer summon and control Sarkaz's rebellion against a peaceful life; Theresa, who longed to lead Sarkaz to peace, was defeated one after another in the battle, and could not escape death.

People rose up because of the hope they saw in the darkness, but in the end they ushered in greater despair because of this shattered hope.

"Some Sakaz have even lost the motivation to live and have thrown themselves into the belly of the devil... I can't persuade them."

Metatron, who was sitting on the ground with his back against the trees, covered his face with his hands and let out a long sigh.

Just like Bodro Kasti could only remain silent.

As for the child he met more than 200 years ago, Theresa, she was undoubtedly a great demon king - but her only mistake and misfortune was that perhaps she should not have been born as Sarkaz.

"Forget it, let's change the topic to something that will make you and I feel more relaxed. Bodrokas will take your place."

"Indeed, the bad habits of our clan that have lasted for thousands of years are not worthy of your detailed discussion. They can only cause a little resentment."

"I think you should have noticed, Sir Bodrokas." Metatron looked serious: "Oswald, those things he dragged back..."

"Except for rice and grain, most of them are for military use." Bozokasti nodded slightly: "Although I rebelled a few years ago, I think the update of the empire in this regard will not be too rapid for me. It’s also hard to tell.”

"And here, the only ones who have access to, and are qualified to mobilize supplies in bulk, are [those guys], right? What do you think? Former Ursus Captain."

"...It's exactly what you said. Guarding the extreme line and blocking the enemies of civilization is the mission and responsibility they spend their entire lives carrying out."

"So I think this is probably the reason why Ozzy didn't let me go with him later. He was probably afraid of conflicts... Damn it, how did this stupid boy hook up with those guys?"

He scratched his head and messed up his smooth blond hair; Metatron looked slightly worried.

"Do you think they will take action against Oz?"

As for such questions, unlike Metatron after sealing his sword and destroying his heart, the ancient Wendigo was casual and indifferent.

"...That won't happen."

"I wouldn't put him in that danger."

Decades ago, his own son Grovalzel died in front of him because of his stubbornness as a soldier, and he died with endless disappointment and hatred for himself;

Today, decades later, he is no longer a soldier of Ursus, and he will never let his 'son' die again.
