King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 214

“What happened to the Eternal Knights?”

Arthur frowned slightly.

Due to the limited number of people.

At this stage, every member of the Round Table Knights has a clear scope of responsibility. Just as Bedivere serves as an internal attendant, named a personal secretary but actually an internal prime minister, Gawain’s duty is to command the Eternal Knights.

“No! Nothing!”

Gawain shook his head decisively, with a hint of difficulty on his face, he said:

“It’s, it’s about Agravain.”

“Within the territory of Great Britain, there have always been scattered forces harassing us. Although the flags indicate unknown pirate groups, their military discipline is strict, their strength is considerable, and their weaponry is fully prepared, so it’s definitely not as simple as it seems.”

“According to the information fed back by Agravain, it’s highly likely that they are professional armed forces disguised as scattered pirates to attack and harass us. This has already affected the operation of merchant ships to some extent. Although their numbers are not large, they are continuous and very troublesome, tying up a lot of our forces. He has already reported several times requesting reinforcements from the Knights.”

Gawain didn’t dare to conceal anything, spilling the beans directly and cleanly.

“Pirates?”

“Scattered?”

“Tsk—”

Arthur sneered disdainfully.

“It’s probably those guys who can’t stand our development and are already getting restless!”

His emerald eyes were filled with disdainful light.

He didn’t even need to rack his brains, Arthur could guess with his toes that there must be a force from the Steel Empire among those scattered pirates.

It was nothing more than them being wary of his reputation for crushing Totland, not daring to openly oppose him, and only using such despicable petty tricks to deliberately disgust him.

“Hmph—”

“I’ll let you run wild for a while longer!” A chilling killing intent flickered in Arthur’s emerald eyes, and a dark light flashed, making the hall feel cold.

Impatience spoils great plans!

What Great Britain needs most right now is stable development.

The prestige gained from this battle is enough to provide a fertile ground with abundant resources. Seizing the opportunity to rise during the rampant revolution is what he should be doing now!

As long as he has three to five years, a developed Great Britain can open its arms to the outside world, fearless of the threats from the old powers on the sea, truly standing at the pinnacle of the sea, rather than being covered in thorns as it is now, only able to seek development in the cracks.

It looks like a blossoming garden, but it’s actually boiling oil, a slight mistake could lead to a thunderous disaster.

“Dispatch members of the Knights to reinforce Agravain.”

“Tell him, no matter the cost, he must maintain the stability of the sea area and ensure the normal passage of merchant ships. All those who dare to stick their claws in, no matter what force they are, will be executed without mercy!”

“Regardless of whether they are the Navy, pirates, or the World Government, all will be treated equally!”

“Normal development must not be affected!”

Arthur’s voice fell, carrying an unquestionable firmness.

The more prosperous Great Britain becomes, the stronger the power it feeds back will be. As long as various powers and rituals are unlocked, the upper limit of the island’s power will continuously increase, and the buffs it brings to him will become even stronger.

Arthur deeply knew that the King-level was only the current upper limit of the island’s power, but it was far from the limit of his panel power!

On this sea, strength is ultimately supreme, and power is paramount!

“Your will shall be carried out!”

Gawain lowered his head solemnly, giving Arthur a solemn knight’s salute.

“With the Knights’ personnel dispatched, the remaining training and recruitment for expanding the army will require your efforts.” With a slight smile, Arthur’s stern face softened considerably in an instant.

It was no longer the seriousness from before, but the closeness of a youth.

He was a superior to his subordinates.

But even more so, a comrade-in-arms and partner to whom he entrusted his back!

“Rest assured!”

“Everything is ready~”

After dealing with official matters, Bedivere and Gawain also softened their expressions and gradually relaxed.

They even had the leisure to laugh together.

The cheerful atmosphere dispelled the dullness in the hall.

“Hmm…”

As if thinking of something, Bedivere suddenly looked up, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice, he skillfully stepped forward, turned sideways, and tentatively said to Arthur: “King!”

“According to the news from the news birds and the information circulating in the underground black market.”

“Charlotte Linlin seems to have engaged in a fierce battle with an unknown entity after we left and is now severely wounded. It is said that she doesn’t even have the strength to make a move and can only shrink the defense line of the Totland sea area.”

“She even sent her eldest son Perospero and second son Katakuri together to various allied forces to request defensive reinforcements, trying their best to consolidate their territory and hold on to Whole Cake Island. Many of their affiliated pirate groups have even been abandoned as a last resort, leaving only one or two elite ones.”

“Oh?”

Arthur, who had been planning to go back to practice his sword, was instantly drawn in.

Without waiting for Bedivere to continue, he raised an eyebrow curiously: “Mysterious person?”

“Is there any information circulating about that mysterious guy? Even after being injured by Sister Morgan, there aren’t many people on this sea who can fight Linlin, that madwoman, right?”

Bedivere shook his head helplessly: “I don’t know.”

“That battle seems to have taken place in a hidden location…”

“And the duration of the outbreak wasn’t long. By the time Morgans captured it, only the ruins after the battle remained. However, in the ruins, he claimed to have discovered traces of the Mythical Zoan power.”

It was precisely because of this.

This news had always circulated as a rumor. The usually cautious Bedivere did not report it to Arthur in the official dispatch. In fact, if Whole Cake Island hadn’t truly shown a tendency to hold its ground, this news would have been treated as a joke.

How could something based on hearsay be considered intelligence!

At most, it would only be noticed by certain interested parties.

“Mythical Zoan?”

Arthur raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Could it be the Navy?

No!

Dragon of the Revolutionary Army?

Impossible!

“Right—”

Arthur’s gaze sharpened, instantly locking onto his target.

“It’s Kaido!”

“The Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit! Plus the ability to fight Linlin!”

“The unknown King-level expert who comes and goes without a trace, only he fits!”

Even if it was just an unsubstantiated guess, Arthur was now ninety percent sure. His intuition told him that this was the truth hidden in the mist.

“Kaido?”

Bedivere’s eyes moved slightly, he didn’t question or investigate Arthur’s source of information.

He simply leaned forward: “We’ve identified the person who made the move.”

“So, should we make a move?”

“If Charlotte Linlin is seriously injured, perhaps it’s a great opportunity for us to strike!”

Since they had already become enemies.

If there was an opportunity, it was best to kill her!

If you don’t kill a snake, you’ll suffer for it. A dead enemy is a good enemy. Don’t let his gentle and humble appearance fool you, Bedivere fundamentally believed in this point.

Only by being as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves towards enemies can one bring warmth like a spring breeze to oneself.
