Chapter 507: Duel

The Knights who were loyal to King Arthur could not wait to follow the King to kill all the traitors.

As for those Knights who betrayed the King, regardless of whether they were harboring disloyalty or guilt, they all hoped that Lancelot could ascend to the throne as soon as possible.

Such disloyal people would be rewarded, and those who were guilty would be able to end this matter as soon as possible.

“Hehe!”

Artoria smiled and glanced at the Knights below the stage.

The Knights who had betrayed her did not dare to look at her directly.

In the end, they looked at Lancelot.

But he did not panic at all. Instead, he looked straight at her.

“It seems that all of you have forgotten one thing. This Knights of the Round Table was established by me. Even if the voting result is very interesting, what use is it?

Where do you get the right to overthrow me?” Artoria said sternly.

“The King is right. The power of the Round Table Parliament comes from the King. Only the King can dissolve the Round Table Parliament. How can the Parliament overthrow the King?”

“That’s right. All of you are ungrateful people.”

“All of you have violated the spirit of Knights and abandoned the glory of Knights. You are no longer worthy of being called Knights.”

After Artoria spoke, the Knights who supported her became excited.

However, Lancelot ignored them.

He pulled out his sword and shouted, “Artoria Pendragon is a woman and a warmonger. She does not care about the upbringing of the people, so she is no longer suitable to be King.”

“Although the Round Table Parliament does not have the right to elect a King, the voting results have already shown the public’s opinion.”

“Since persuasion has failed, then, Knights, follow my attack and let the British Starfield welcome the future.”

As Lancelot shouted, the 60 Knights from before suddenly stood up.

All of them drew their swords and followed behind Lancelot.

Seeing that the situation had suddenly escalated, the Knights loyal to King Arthur hurriedly drew their swords and stood beside King Arthur to protect her.

Only four neutral Knights stood there awkwardly.

At this moment, Artoria’s eyes turned cold.

She really did not expect that this group of people would actually prepare a coup.

Looking at the familiar faces in front of her, they all raised their swords to deal with her.

Artoria was really tired.

For the first time, she had the thought of abdicating.

“Lancelot, aren’t you afraid of the army outside the palace?” Artoria said angrily.

“Artoria Pendragon, I’ve already transferred the people outside. There are only us Knights here now.”

Lancelot smiled.

“Don’t waste your energy. Why don’t you abdicate and rest? After all, you’ve been tired for 330,000 years.”

The current situation was completely in his hands.

As long as he took one more step forward, he would become King and be able to marry Guinevere.

Thinking of this, Lancelot could not help but feel excited.

A great war was about to break out.

However, Artoria’s expression did not change.

This was because she was now even stronger than before.

Although she was indeed very angry now and wished that she could immediately kill the traitor in front of her.

But looking at the Knights behind her who were loyal to her, Artoria had to consider them.

At this time, they could still stand behind her, which made Artoria feel a little gratified.

So, she could not let them die here in vain.

Therefore, she made a decision at this moment.

She pulled out her sword of victory and pointed at Lancelot.

“Since you want to be King so much, I’ll give you this chance.”

“This is what happened before. We don’t have to be afraid of other people getting involved.”

“Now, let’s have a one-on-one battle between us.”

“If I win, you guys surrender immediately and I can let bygones be bygones.”

“On the other hand, if you win…”

Saying this, Artoria took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I will abdicate. You can be whoever you want to be.”

The moment she said this, the whole place fell silent.

“No, King, we can protect you.”

“Yes, yes. As long as we rush out, someone will come to help us.”

“We can’t compromise with this kind of people who have lost their chivalry.”

The Knights on Artoria’s side were very excited. They could not tolerate their respected King compromising with the enemy.

At the thought of them dragging down the King, they felt very guilty and looked at the other side angrily.

On the other side.

“Knight Lancelot, we have the advantage now. We don’t need to do this. We can just crush them directly.”

A former Knight of the opposition spoke.

“No, you know the strength of the King. She is much stronger than us. If we really all go up, we will suffer heavy casualties,” the other surrendering Knight objected.

Lancelot fell silent. He knew that most of Artoria’s strength came from that rune.

If she didn’t use that rune during the battle, she might not even be as strong as him.

However, the current situation was obviously advantageous to him. There was no need for a one-on-one fight. That kind of situation was usually where the weak had no choice but to compromise with the strong.

Thinking of this, Lancelot spoke.

“Now that we have the advantage, why should we agree to you?”

“Because then you can be justified.”

Artoria’s face was full of mockery.

“No matter what my ident.i.ty is, I am the rightful King of the British Starfield. No matter how outstanding your reasons are now, they can not cover up your ident.i.ty as rebels.”

“Only if you defeat me directly can you prove to the world that you can be the King and that you can protect them.”

“If you lose, hehe, you’d better be an honest Knight and stop daydreaming.”

Hearing Artoria’s words, the Knights on the opposite side fell silent. Lancelot also gripped the sword in his hand tightly.

Because he knew that what Artoria said was right.

Even if she was a girl, she was only like this in that special era. The people could understand a little.

Therefore, their ident.i.ties were undoubtedly unreasonable.

Since ancient times, a coup d’état needed a reasonable reason to rise to power.

Now that there was a reason, it was still necessary to defeat her head-on.

Not only for the throne, but also for his own compet.i.tiveness.

“Alright, I agree. But there’s a condition. You can’t use any special powers. You should understand what I’m saying.”

In the end, Lancelot agreed to her condition.

Because he also wanted to let others see that he, Lancelot, could defeat the King.

“Okay, no problem. I won’t use my special power.”

Artoria nodded, but her heart was still moved. She didn’t expect him to know about the rune.

It seemed that the black-robed man had really told him a lot of things.

But that was it. She didn’t have a rune now. No matter what, they couldn’t find it.

She was now at the peak of the half-step Eternal Realm, not the half-baked one from before.
