King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 157

The Supreme King!

What a beautiful sight that would be!

“Hehehehe~~~”

Bedivere smiled and shook his head, saying, “King! I do not know what kind of beautiful scenery that will be, but I am willing to follow the King step by step to witness that beautiful scenery in the future.”

Arthur smiled and headed towards the General’s Mansion. Bedivere followed Arthur’s steps, while some people in the dark were staring at the two of them, seemingly pondering their origins, or perhaps how to deal with this matter.

Crackling!

Rumble~~~

Night fell, and the storm raged again. And on this night! Many things would happen, after all! After so many days of preparation, some people had long since grown impatient and wanted to make their move.

Clap!

Clap!

Figures emerged one by one, a total of more than ten of them. And the leader was none other than Fugetsu O-Ketsu?!

Shock!

Awe!

Or rather…

Complete disbelief! How could Fugetsu O-Ketsu have appeared here in such a short time? This was completely unbelievable, and even more so, if Kin’emon and the others knew about this situation, it would be utterly incomprehensible! That Daimyo who had been so fierce on the battlefield, never showing mercy, had actually done such a thing?

Shame!

This was a huge insult to a samurai! This was the greatest shame, what a pity! No matter what was said, since Fugetsu O-Ketsu was already standing here, then the outcome was already decided.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

“Lord Fugetsu O-Ketsu!”

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Fugetsu O-Ketsu’s mouth. After standing still for a long time, he finally nodded and stepped towards the General’s Mansion. The others quickly followed Fugetsu O-Ketsu’s movements, each with a serious and grim expression. They, too, wanted to raise their family’s status!

Creak~~~

The gates of the General’s Mansion were slowly pushed open, and the maid seemed to have been prepared for a long time, leading everyone into the General’s Mansion’s reception hall. There, Kozuki Toki was sitting alone, quietly kneeling.

“Your Excellency Fugetsu O-Ketsu!”

Kozuki Toki looked at Fugetsu O-Ketsu and spoke softly, “I never expected things to reach this point step by step, and! The first to arrive here was Your Excellency Fugetsu O-Ketsu. You! I considered many things, but I never thought of this!”

“However…”

Kozuki Toki said with a hint of emotion, “It seems! This is also a matter of course. You are the Daimyo of Wano Country, and as a Daimyo, under the current circumstances of the Kozuki family, you naturally want to go a step further. This is the best opportunity, and the most suitable opportunity to succeed in advancing.”

“…”

Listening to Kozuki Toki’s words, which sounded like she was talking to herself, Fugetsu O-Ketsu did not speak. The 12 people standing behind Fugetsu O-Ketsu all showed sarcastic expressions. They were all small families following the Fugetsu family.

Of course!

The number was not just this. There were dozens of affiliated families following the Fugetsu family. However, it was naturally impossible for all of them to come to the Flower Capital General’s Mansion. Only these 12 people came here, forcing Fugetsu O-Ketsu to make a choice.

After all!

Even if Fugetsu O-Ketsu was the head of the Fugetsu family, if his subordinates all had such an attitude, then he would also have to make a choice. This was a very important matter. If you didn’t make a choice, those people wouldn’t agree.

After so many years, a suitable opportunity finally appeared. For the heads of these families, this was almost the best opportunity. As long as they seized this opportunity, they could truly grow step by step, and they could truly realize their ambitions.

Precisely because of this!

Even if Fugetsu O-Ketsu was unwilling, they had to force him to come here. This was also why Hyogoro chose to retreat without hesitation. He didn’t have as many families behind him, but he also had his own subordinates. If his subordinates also started to pressure him, then what should he do? This was a huge problem!

Under such circumstances, Hyogoro made arguably the most correct choice, because Hyogoro was very clear about what the situation would be like next and what choice he should make. This was an extremely important matter.

“Whew~~~”

After a long time, Fugetsu O-Ketsu finally let out a long breath and said, “Lady Toki! I am very ashamed! But, I am already standing here, so this path is the inevitable outcome. Lady Toki! Hand over everything you possess, and at the same time! Let Miss Hiyori marry me. You and Miss Hiyori can live safely.”

“Daimyo Fugetsu!”

Just then, Raizo’s voice came out. He appeared instantly, his eyes cold, and said, “Miss Hiyori is the Shogun! And you, as the Daimyo of Wano Country, should always address her as the Shogun, no matter when?”

“Hehehe~~~”

Fugetsu O-Ketsu let out a faint smile, and the others burst into arrogant laughter. Are you kidding me! Would they willingly submit? Impossible! Absolutely impossible. If Kozuki Oden were in this position, things wouldn’t have happened. Even if it were Kozuki Momonosuke, they would obediently bow their heads!

But!

The one in this position was Kozuki Hiyori? Sorry! Facing this woman as the Shogun of Wano Country, they had their own ideas. As long as they controlled her step by step through marriage, in the future! As long as they chose a suitable opportunity to yield this position, wouldn’t the Shogun’s position fall into their hands? Precisely because of this! This was the only outcome. Under such ambition, no one would choose to retreat, or rather, no one would retreat.

Ambition was the best treasure that would gradually drive people crazy. This was true for everyone. Ambition was the most maddening thing!

“Ambition!”

“Alas!”

Kozuki Toki sighed silently. She was actually not interested in all of this, or rather! Kozuki Toki was not interested in the Shogun’s position or anything else. She came from the Amatsuki clan, but! Now she had no choice but to accept it, because! Kozuki Toki was very clear that she represented her daughter. If she retreated, her daughter would be completely reduced to a puppet.

Not only that!

If she truly retreated, what would be the next outcome? In fact! This was already self-evident. If it really came to that point, then! All the results would completely collapse, which she absolutely could not accept. Now, the Kozuki family only had her mother and daughter left, so! As a mother, she had to create a safe haven for her daughter, no matter what! It was always like this!

“Lady Kozuki!”

Fugetsu O-Ketsu spoke calmly, “The conversation ends here. So! It’s time to confirm the marriage contract. You have no room to refuse! After all, killing you and then forcing a marriage contract with Miss Hiyori doesn’t seem like a difficult thing.”

“…”

Listening to Fugetsu O-Ketsu’s words, Kozuki Toki softly said, “Indeed! Everything is like this, all within expectations! It’s truly a pity, if…”

“Forget it!”

Kozuki Toki finally shook her head. All the thousands of words ultimately stopped, meaningless. No matter what she wanted to say, it was all meaningless. In the end! It was completely over.

“It seems.”

“Lady Kozuki, you have made your choice.”

“Do it!”

“Yes!” (To read exhilarating novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And the clan leaders following Fugetsu O-Ketsu, with grim smiles, had already drawn their samurai swords. Looking at Kozuki Toki and Raizo, they were all ready to make their move. This was truly great! At this moment! In their eyes, wasn’t this the best outcome?

As long as these two people were killed, then! Wano Country would fall into their hands, and everything they wanted could be obtained! That was the best thing!

At this moment!

They were all like madmen, because they had already seen everything they wanted, and at this moment! They had gradually lost all reason. They no longer cared why Kozuki Toki was waiting here? Why! Even though they knew they would make a move, she only let Raizo wait here alone? Why? Why? Everything! They had already given up, they had already lost all reason, and they didn’t care about any of this at all!

Precisely because of this…

The next thing!

It was going to be a very interesting matter, after all! At this time, if one were to think a little more, they would realize that there seemed to be many problems. So! What would be the next outcome?

Clang!

As a clear and pleasant sound rang out, Bedivere’s figure appeared in front of Kozuki Toki, smiling and saying, “Everyone! It’s better if you show mercy. Lady Toki has already made a marriage contract with the King, and General Hiyori is already my Britannian Queen. It’s better if you all stop here.”

Bedivere’s right arm shimmered with a faint light, the arm completely covered by armor, yet it blocked all attacks. In some legends, Bedivere had no right arm; he was known as the one-armed handsome man! Yes! He was a truly handsome man. Others were handsome, but Bedivere was a truly beautiful man, the kind that made it hard to distinguish male from female!

But…

No matter which kind, this situation didn’t require much discussion! Because sealed within Bedivere’s right arm was the Sword of Promised Victory from that world, no! It should be said that only a part of the Sword of Promised Victory’s power was sealed, and this part of the power formed Bedivere’s right arm, also allowing Bedivere to possess his own divine artifact.

Not a holy sword, holy spear, holy bow, holy shield…

And so on, these conventional divine artifacts!

And!

Bedivere’s divine artifact was fully named: “The Gripped Sword, Silver Arm!”

Hmm!

Compared to others, it seemed to be a different name, and the name of this divine artifact was called the Holy Arm, which was just one arm! So, this was Bedivere’s exclusive divine artifact, and also a part of the Sword of Promised Victory.

In fact!

To put it bluntly, this was a very special divine power born from the combination of a part of the Sword of Promised Victory’s power and Bedivere himself. Not only that! Bedivere also received the blessing of Avalon because of this! In other words, Bedivere himself was a scabbard, and as a scabbard, Bedivere naturally possessed terrifying recovery power, an almost immortal recovery power.

Just like at this moment, Bedivere blocked the opponent’s attack, smiling and gently saying, “Everyone! Retreating here, or rather, retreating to await death, is the best outcome!”

“Bastard!”

“Shut up!”

“Damn it!”

These guys were all filled with madness and greed, are you kidding me! Are you kidding me! Don’t make trouble, this was something they simply couldn’t accept, they couldn’t endure it, clearly! They were about to get everything, and at this moment, someone came out to pick the fruit, could they accept that? That was absolutely impossible!

No matter the outcome, they all went crazy, launching a frantic attack on Bedivere.

It’s just…

It was completely meaningless. Bedivere’s strength was indeed somewhat weaker than the other twelve Knights of the Round Table, but! If you think Bedivere is weak? Then you are gravely mistaken!

It’s just that!

Bedivere’s identity was merely that of a steward; he hardly ever participated in any of this, and never got involved. But precisely because of this, Bedivere, on the contrary, possessed outstanding abilities. His strength was extremely powerful, after all! Through various coincidences and blessings, Bedivere had become extremely special. He was like a combination of the Sword of Promised Victory and the Distant Ideal Utopia!

Precisely because of this…

Drip!

Drip!

Drops of blood dripped, these 12 samurai were simply insignificant under Bedivere’s hands. The silver arm slowly dripped drops of blood, and all the enemies had been dealt with thoroughly.

Swish!

Shaking off the blood from his arm, Bedivere said very calmly, “Very exquisite swordsmanship, but unfortunately! The cultivation is not even at a qualified level. They are more focused on schemes and tricks. Daimyo Fugetsu O-Ketsu! Next, it’s your turn. Are you ready?”

Bedivere raised his hand, his eyes very sharp. He was very clear about what he was doing. This was the King’s command, so he had to handle all of this. As for external matters?

Sorry!

That was not Bedivere’s concern. The King’s command to him was only one: to deal with everyone who entered the Flower Capital, and Raizo, Kin’emon, Denjiro, and everyone else would be responsible for helping to deal with it. Precisely because of this! Outside, a massacre had already broken out.

Crackling!

Rumble!

Amidst the storm, Fugetsu O-Ketsu seemed to have already seen the storm raging outside, and even more so, the drops of blood falling.

Drip!

Drip!

Drops of blood seemed to prove everything. With this endless storm, what would be the outcome next? In fact! This was already self-evident. All their preparations would come to an end.

“Alas!”

Sighing silently, Fugetsu O-Ketsu looked at Bedivere and said, “So that’s how it is! Lord Oden suddenly chose to counterattack, and! So many things happened, obviously! All with the support of this King!”

“Hehehe~~~”

Fugetsu O-Ketsu said with a bitter smile, full of emotion, “This outcome! It truly makes one feel bitter! Clearly, all preparations had been made, but! The final result is still the same. Forget it! If I lost, I lost, but! I also want to see your strength, I will not retreat like this!”

Bedivere smiled; “My pleasure!”
