Dragon of the Root

Chapter 18: Guinevere



Three days later, King Arthur issued a royal decree, recruiting knights regardless of frontier and creed to compete to form the Knights of the Round Table to rejuvenate Britain. At the round table, no matter how rich or high it is, there is no high or low.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the whole of Britain, the countries around Britain.

Since Britain was previously ruled by the Roman empire, Britain was never ruled by Rome in the form of lord and king.

After the civil strife of the Roman Empire, no one expected Britain and would relinquish the rule that allowed Britain powerful rulers and kings to take a chance.

One by one the kings started wars, devouring the surrounding small countries one after another. In the past, King Uther was also such a king, but he suffered injuries in the war against other countries, and returned to the territory of their respective countries.

The local country, Wu Ming did not know, but King Uther was injured after the war and could no longer lead the country anymore.

Therefore, King Uther and the Magus of the Merlin palace together made Artoria with a red dragon bloodline, and because they were still worried, they summoned the Dragon of Legend, namely Wu Ming.

After King Uther death, King Arthur ascended the throne, and other countries sent emissaries to offer sincere congratulations, but more of them asked the truth.

Because of Wu Ming existence, the kings who sent envoys were prepared not to profit, so the envoys from other countries would leave on the same day.

After the news of King Arthur came out, other countries around Britain had different reactions, some praised King Arthur, some bluntly stated that King Arthur wanted to rule Britain, and some even took advantage of this incident and started wars with other countries.

King Leodegrance, a king who was on good terms with King Uther, didn't appear when King Arthur was crowned for some reason, but he sent his trusted aide.

Now, after King Arthur announced the news of knight recruitment, King Rience took the opportunity to start an invasion of King Leodegrance territory.

King Leodegrance was unable to stop the powerful King Rience, so he wanted to ask King Arthur for help.

In the meeting room of the royal palace, Artoria was discussing with a group of people.

The people present were not only the original ministers in the royal palace, but also some of the soldiers who had come after hearing the news.

"King, with the situation where you have just ascended to the throne, you may face opposition from the nobles if you rush to send troops, and may even influence the king regime."

"No, now that we have a new king, plus the British Silver Dragon Velo Knight, we can definitely defeat King Rience."

"King, I heard King Rienceshi knights are very strong. They had just conquered the countries surrounding Rience kingdom. Right now, the enemy has strong morale and it is not suitable for us to send troops."

"King, after all King Leodegrance is also a king we have a good relationship with. If you don't send troops at this time, you can't justify it for emotions and reasons."

"King..."

"King..."

At this time, the various speeches in the conference room started one after another, some agreed to send troops to help, and some did not agree to send troops to help.

Wu Ming stood beside Artoria, closed his eyes and didn't speak, but Wu Ming depressed mood and impatient expression showed his current mood.

Merlin was still smiling dispassionately, and didn't participate in the discussion.

"Alright, I decided to send troops to help King Leodegrance. Don't talk about King Leodegrance friendship with us. Even if we don't have a good relationship, King Rience won't be allowed to invade other territories. King Rience has a violent temper, and many of his subordinates are dissatisfied, I can take this opportunity to subdue King Rience," Altoria said firmly.

Merlin nodded in satisfaction continuously. But Wu Ming was praised in his heart.

"Yeah, no matter what, we have to send troops. King Leodegrance territory is next to us. If King Leodegrance invades King Leodegrance territory, the next move will definitely attack us. We must act first to become strong." Wu Ming opened his eyes and said.

"Send orders, gather soldiers and prepare to help King Leodegrance." Artoria gave the order.

"Follow your orders, my king."

After some preparations, Artoria, wearing armor and holding Caliburn, led a group of knights and soldiers towards Leodegrance palace.

...

Outside the city of Leodegrance, the army of Leodegrance retreated steadily, and the army of the king of Rience attacked and charged straight ahead.

In front of the Leodegrance palace, a beautiful girl knelt on the ground and prayed, praying for a miracle.

"God, please save my father, save the people of Leodegrance. I'm willing to make myself payment for a miracle," whispered the girl.

The girl was the daughter of King Leodegrance, the daughter of the Leodegrance region.

At this moment, King Leodegrance was at war with the enemy at the edge of the royal city although this was pointless, Rience army attacked at an extremely fast speed. They had broken through the city gates and were marching towards the royal palace.

For a moment, a middle-aged knight covered in blood led the rest of the defeated generals and retreated to the palace. This is King Leodegrance.

"My dear girl, why did you come out? Come back!" When King Leodegrance saw the girl kneeling in front of the palace, he quickly persuaded her to return to the palace. King Leodegrance was well aware of his daughter appearance, when seen by Rience soldiers, King Leodegrance couldn't imagine what would happen.

"Father, how are you, are you okay?" The girl immediately stood up and supported the staggering King Leodegrance.

"Don't talk about this for now, quickly return to the secret room in the palace and hide. I have already sent a letter to King Arthur. I believe that in a moment, King Arthur will bring an army to support us." King Leodegrance comforted his daughter.

The girl shook her head and said: "Whether King Arthur will come to support is still unknown. Even if King Arthur personally leads the army, it may not be able to withstand Rience ferocious army." The girl is not just a flower vase.

"No, trust me, I received news from the army that King Arthur led the army personally with the British Silver Dragon coming together, if it was him, it could definitely save us. !" King Leodegrance said.

"Really, His Highness Vero is coming? That's great, now Leodegrance is saved." The girl seemed to know Wu Ming, she immediately called out Wu Ming name, and her voice conveyed a kind of admiration.

"Don't worry, my daughter, if we can get past the crisis this time, father will personally betroth you to the British Silver Dragon. I believe if Vero saw your appearance, he would definitely agree." Leodegrance smiled reluctantly.

"Hmph, you don't have this chance!"

An enemy knight suddenly appeared, bows and arrows shot towards King Leodegrance, and revealed a cold light. It was a sharp arrow with a strange shape. This sharp arrow still had a silvery radiance. It can be seen that this is no ordinary arrow.

"!—" King Leodegrance was shocked.

"Father--!" The girl screamed sadly.

*Shoo!*

The bright silver spear broke the sharp arrow directly, and pierced the famous knight with hard armor, and the spear tip fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, the girl also heard a very warm word from behind.

"British Silver Dragon is here, who dares to hurt someone——!"

The girl looked back, and the knight in silver-white armor slowly retracted his weapon throwing posture, and walked towards the girl steadily.

"Yo~ Guinevere, long time no see."

At this moment, the girl named Guinevere just wanted to lie in the arms of the British Silver Dragon and cry loudly.
