War Is About to Begin / One Was Left Out

That's why Mordred went to great lengths to wipe out the Old Man of the Mountain and besiege the Pharaoh King's army, among other things.

Because these were achievements, Mordred, who had gained a great deal of merit, only hoped that his Father King, would pay some attention to him.

Of course, the Lion King wouldn't be stingy with her concern. That night, she talked a lot with Mordred, although it was mostly Mordred did the talking and she was responsible for responding.

However, even this little bit of concern made Mordred a die-hard fan of The Lion King.

"I am very sad," Tristan said calmly, unwilling to bring up the matter.

The same was true for Agravain, and even more so for Gawain; what they encountered today was truly bizarre.

When they went to greet the king's guest, they discovered that the guest could transform into their real king. How could they possibly tell anyone about this?

"Me too." Gawain picked up where Tristan left off, and he sighed deeply, saying helplessly, "Why is it always us who have to encounter this kind of thing?"

"Shut up."

Agravain said rather somberly that he did not want to continue discussing this topic. He would explain everything to the king in person after the king woke up.

"??????"

Lancelot and Mordred exchanged a puzzled look, wondering what was wrong with the three of them. After all, under normal circumstances, Agravain would have already noticed Lancelot's strange behavior and started to make trouble.

After all, Lancelot's complexion wasn't exactly good; anyone could tell at a glance that he had encountered something very unpleasant today.

However, Agravain and the others seemed to be in the same boat, though their expressions were even more grim than Lancelot's, as if they had encountered something unimaginable.

The five people waited quietly on the throne.

Lancelot and Mordred were curious about what had caused the three of them to have such expressions.

However, the king will arrive soon, and once he arrives, everything will be known.

"How quiet it is! Why are you all not arguing today?"

Just then, the Lion King arrived. She looked at her knights with a calm gaze and said indifferently, "If it were any other day, you would probably be arguing endlessly."

"..."

Silence, still a deathly silence.

Lancelot and Mordred, who had been curious about what had happened to Agravain and the others, involuntarily lowered their heads, indicating that they dared not look up at their king.

"Lord Lancelot, why have you returned? Has the Servant sweep mission ended?"

Sure enough, the next moment, the Lion King began to question him. She looked at Lancelot calmly and said in a very cold voice, "I observed the celestial phenomena last night and Servant there were four Servants in the desert area, as well as a World Traveler, but you only brought back one."

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty." Lancelot lowered his head and answered silently, "I let one of them escape, captured one of them, and Mordred and I planned to capture the remaining two together... but they were taken away by a Saber who looked like the Old Man of the Mountain and was wielding the Black Stone Greatsword."

"Let him escape?" Agravain frowned immediately, staring at Lancelot with a dark look in his eyes. "What do you mean by this?"

Lancelot shut his mouth. What could he say? Was it because he saw Servant resembled the King, felt compassion for him, and didn't want to use force to capture him, thus causing the Servant to escape?

"I see. Then let it go." The Lion King pardoned Lancelot's crime.

"!!!!!"

Mordred and Lancelot looked up in disbelief, as did the other Knights of the Round Table, who hadn't expected the Lion King to make such a decision.

Because that's completely impossible!! The Lion King always remembers merits and demerits, he wouldn't let Lancelot and Mordred off so easily.

"The Servant that Lord Lancelot spared was probably not Servant." The Lion King's eyes seemed to see the past as she calmly said, "She was a guest I invited."

Agravain, Tristan, and Gawain's expressions changed slightly. The three of them immediately turned to look at Lancelot. This guy didn't betray them on the spot?!

Seeing his colleagues suddenly looking at him, Lancelot was puzzled. What was wrong with the way the three of you were looking at him? It was as if he shouldn't be there.

"Similarly, you have encountered my guests, and that being; it is already a cause for celebration that you have not died," the Lion King said calmly, as if the return of Lancelot and Mordred was something to be happy about.

Could it be...?

Agravain suddenly realized something and said with a grim expression, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Lancelot and Mordred encountered the First Old Man of the Mountain?"

"That's right." The Lion King nodded slightly. She looked at Agravain and said calmly, "When I met the guest, I already noticed that she had the aura of the Old Man of the Mountain. However, I didn't expect the Old Man of the Mountain to resist so fiercely. But... it's already the best outcome that he didn't take action."

Judging from the language, the Lion King was also very wary of the Old Man of the Mountain.

No! It should be said that she was very wary of the first Old Man of the Mountain, King Hassan.

She and the Pharaoh King stayed in the Holy City (the Grand Temple), not to defend against each other, but to defend against the terrifying Old Man of the Mountain.

"Impossible! How could Lancelot and Mordred possibly have survived encountering those two!"

Agravain had realized that Mikaela was a threat to the Lion King, and that if they encountered her alone, Lancelot or Mordred would have to die to escape.

Not to mention encountering the first Old Man of the Mountain, who was Grand Servant! In his eyes, a top Servant was nothing more than a life.

Chapter 367 War is imminent

Of all the Knights of the Round Table, only Agravain and the Lion King knew that there was an extremely powerful being among the Old Man of the Mountain.

That was Servant known as the Grand. The Lion King had exchanged a few blows with him from afar, and the result was... a complete defeat.

The Sun King was the same; he was also very wary of the other party, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the Grand Temple every day and refused to step out.

Otherwise, given the Lion King's temperament, he would have already led the Knights of the Round Table to raze Ramesses II's Grand Temple to the ground.

Because of King Hassan's presence, the Lion King and Ramesses II obediently stayed in their lair, letting their subordinates go out to fight.

If the Old Man of the Mountain hadn't resisted so fiercely, the Lion King wouldn't have even bothered with them. After all, killing all his men and provoking them wouldn't be a good thing.

"You're lying, Lancelot." Agravain looked at Lancelot with a grim expression. He didn't believe that someone even the king feared and dared not personally lead an expedition would let Lancelot and Mordred escape.

If one of them were to die, Agravain might find it quite normal.

Mordred and Lancelot were both unharmed, showing no other unusual behavior except for slightly different expressions.

"Hey, hey, Agravain, you're going a bit too far." Mordred frowned and looked at Agravain very seriously. "If that guy hadn't shown up, Lancelot and I would have caught those two guys dressed as maids and detectives long ago."

"Ah... how sad, it's a pity, it's impossible."

Tristan played his harp on the side, his eyes closed, and said in a very calm tone, "From your words, I can tell that you didn't actually fight that person dressed as a maid."

Those who earn the title of Knights of the Round Table are no fools. Tristan, with just a few words, concluded that Lancelot and Mordred had not fought Mikaela.

"After sparring for a while, she proved to be a formidable opponent. I'd like to make her my personal knight." Mordred was displeased; she found it strange what was going on today.

Yes, they failed, but their Father King said that they were not at fault; it was simply that the enemy was too strong.

It's a blessing to have survived, why ask for so much more?

"Watch your words, Mordred." Tristan opened his eyes and looked at Mordred with some hostility. "If we weren't right here beside the throne, I would have cut your head off."

"..."

Gawain didn't speak. He looked at Mordred calmly, his hand silently resting on the hilt of his sword. Clearly, he was also unhappy with Mordred's words.

"Do you know who he is?" Agravain had a good relationship with Mordred, but his expression turned gloomy as he reprimanded, "He is the king's guest. If he joins our side, he will be on the same level as us... no! On the same level as the king."

"I don't deny it," the Lion King said calmly. She sat on her throne and looked at Mordred with a calm gaze. "Mordred, I'll let it go this time. But if there is a next time, you must kill an Old Man of the Mountain before you can return to the Holy City."

We attach great importance to it.

Mordred was dumbfounded, completely bewildered as to what she had done wrong.

Isn't it just that he wants that girl dressed as a maid to become his personal knight? Why are Father King and Agravain reacting so strongly?

"Just a guest?" Lancelot asked, as if he had sensed something. He looked at Agravain calmly and said, "If it were just an important guest, you wouldn't be so excited, would you?"

Agravain hates Lancelot, he really hates Lancelot.

Even though they are now comrades on the same side, Agravain believes that Lancelot will definitely betray the Lion King.

However, he was the embodiment of reason, Agravain would never harm him before Lancelot officially betrayed him.

"Yes, that's right, because he is the 'King'." Agravain said calmly in front of the Lion King, "He can use the Excalibur."

"Sir Gawain fought with the 'Queen', and her martial arts skills and words are enough to prove that she is indeed the Queen."

"..."

The Lion King remained silent, as if he hadn't heard anything.

In fact, from the moment she met Mikaela, she understood that another 'self' had helped her, after all, she had sensed the aura of the Holy Lance.

However, Agravain's words gave the Lion King a moment of clarity.

It's not that another 'self' helped the other person, but rather that 'you' are present in the other person.

However, the Lion King, who had now become a god, ignored this and said that if the other party insisted on blocking his way, he would just kill them.

As for whether the Knights of the Round Table would betray them, the Lion King didn't care at all, because most of the humans had already been gathered, and ending it now wouldn't be a problem.

"!!!!!!!"

This bombshell news caused Lancelot and Mordred's expressions to change drastically.

"What?! How is this possible?!" Lancelot was utterly shocked, his face even showing regret and hatred!

He actually pointed his sword at the king?! And he even wanted to capture the king and bring him to the Holy City?!

"..." Mordred's reaction was somewhat surprised, but he did not show the same regret as Lancelot.

She remained perfectly calm, as if it didn't matter whether the other person was King Arthur or not.

"Do you regret it, Lancelot?" Gawain gazed silently at Lancelot, half-jokingly saying, "If the King had recognized you, Mordred would probably be dead by now."

"Ah, how sad I am. Lord Lancelot must be itching to throw himself into the arms of that king," Tristan said sarcastically.

"Although I regret it, I will not throw myself into the arms of another king."

Lancelot snorted coldly. He quickly composed himself, gripped the Holy Sword in his hand, and said seriously, "What right do we, who have already stained the blood of the Round Table, have to call ourselves her knights?"

Agravain gave Lancelot a deep look. He didn't say anything sarcastic or sarcastic, but simply hoped that Lancelot would stay true to his current words.

"Alright, there's no need to discuss this anymore." The Lion King spoke calmly, looking at the Knights of the Round Table before her, and said, "You are all knights I can trust. If you want to betray me and join another 'me,' I will have no regrets. But if you have no intention of rebelling, then prepare for battle."

"Because war is coming very soon."

The Lion King rose from his throne, ignoring Agravain's report, and slowly walked into the depths of the Holy City.

Chapter 368 One Person Was Missed

After the Lion King left, the knights fell silent, except for Mordred, who said carefree, "Alright, I'm tired after fighting all day. I'm going to our usual spot to get something to eat and have a drink."

Mordred continued talking to herself, then decisively left the throne. She didn't care about the other King Arthur; she preferred this Lion King to the so-called King Arthur.

Because the other party gave King Arthur something he didn't have, Mordred only needed to acknowledge it, and that was enough.

King Arthur never acknowledged Mordred, but the Lion King did. She recognized Mordred as a member of the Knights of the Round Table, which also indicated that she needed Mordred's power.

Similarly, the Lion King doesn't mind Mordred calling him Father King.

After comparing the two, Mordred felt that as long as he didn't fight the other King Arthur, he would be fine.

If it's just about fighting... it's not like she hasn't fought before. She's not going to be like the other guys, unable to pick up her sword because of some guilt. That would be a joke.

As Rebellious Knight destroyed Britain, Mordred was entitled to draw his sword against King Arthur.

"She's gone." Agravain watched Mordred's departing figure and said calmly, "I envy her mindset."

"She was a knight who betrayed the king before, but the current king has given her what she needed." Tristan opened his eyes slightly and sighed, "It's so sad that she didn't get what she needed from the original king, but got it from another king."

Gawain remained silent on this, feeling that neither of the kings would be much different.

If I had to pinpoint the differences, aside from the figures... cough cough cough!!!

The two men acted in completely different ways; the Lion King was almost ruthless, or rather, extremely rational.

Although King Arthur was ruthless towards foreign enemies, she still did her best to satisfy her own people and would never issue orders to kill them.

This is why the Knights of the Round Table followed King Arthur.

But the Lion King was different; she felt that this was the most efficient way, and killing was just a small step towards the end for her.

As for those who were killed, she wouldn't remember their faces or cries of agony, because there was no need to remember them.

"Lancelot, although the King has not punished you for your crimes, I need you to tell me what happened to you," Agravain, asking Lancelot for information.

In any war, intelligence is always the top priority.
