I Will Eventually Become a Partner of Justice Chapter 223

Shirou couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the young knight.

The Archbishop of Cantreber introduced Shirou: "Arthur, this is Sir Bedivere, the younger brother of the Duke of Lucan. He is currently one of the court deacons under Sir Ulfess, and he is also the leader of this card. Knights of Merlot's army."

The Archbishop of Cantreber turned around and introduced to Bedivere, "Mr. Bedivere, this is Arthur who pulled out the sword in the stone."

Bedivere looked at Shirou, his eyes sparkled, and said, "Master Arthur? I've heard rumors about you!"

"I've heard about you too, Mr. Bedivere." Shirou said with a smile.

"Have you heard of me—?" Belleville was taken aback, pointed to himself and said, "I don't have any stories worthy of poets' praise."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Lord Bedivere." Shirou said, "Everyone knows that your spear skills are the best in Britain. Even with a gun in one arm, you can defeat nine with one. knight!"

"No... there is no such thing, Your Excellency Arthur." Bedivere said in embarrassment: "I am just a court deacon, and I am only good at handling some uncomplicated internal affairs."

The Archbishop of Cantreber patted Bedivere on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Bedwell, when Arthur becomes king, he will be your king. Why are you still hiding in front of Arthur? Your spear skills, even if you are Sir Brastis is also highly praised, otherwise Sir Ulface would not have sent you to lead the army."

"So, I have always felt that Sir Ulface's decision is wrong, and I am really not suitable to lead the army." Bedivere showed a sad expression, and said: "If it wasn't for my military strategy to be wrong, I wouldn't be allowed to lead the army." The mountain giant ran away and caused heavy casualties to the soldiers."

"By the way—" Bedivere looked up at Shirou and said, "Since Lord Arthur is here, the command of the army will be handed over to Sir Arthur. Because you are about to become king, the soldiers will definitely obey you , and with you here, our United Kingdom’s crusade army also has a commander.”

"Why do you all ask me to be the commander? Could it be that there is no commander in the United Kingdom crusade?" Shirou asked strangely. According to Gawain, these troops had gathered in Carnley Castle early on. After so long, it wouldn't be possible that even the commander didn't come out, right?

The Archbishop of Cantreber said: "I was the one who called for this matter. Of course, I should be the commander of the army. However, I don't know how to command the army, so I let the kingdom's army choose the commander spontaneously, but the five who came here The strength of the two kingdoms is almost the same, and the knights who lead the team are all outstanding people, and no one can convince the other, so it has been delayed until now."

"Which kingdoms are here?" Shirou asked.

Archbishop Cantreber said: "There is the Kingdom of Ullens, the Kingdom of Burino, the Kingdom of Marko, the Kingdom of Nantes, and the Kingdom of Roth."

"And what about the leader?" Shirou asked.

Bedivere replied: "Others are not important. The main thing is that the leading knight of the army of the Kingdom of Burinor is the son of King Burinor, and he is known as the 'Bright Knight' of Lan Malok. The leading knight of the Kingdom of Marko, Nephew of King Marko, Tristan the Knight of Sorrow."

Did the four Knights of the Round Table gather all at once... Shirou rubbed his chin.

Shirou was no longer surprised. With Tristan and Lanmallock here, it's no wonder that the Archbishop of Cantreber couldn't directly push Bedwell to the position of commander.

Tristan, Lancelot, and Lancelot, these three are the best among the knights of the round table. In the legend of King Arthur, they are also known as the three great lions of Britain. Each individual is not weak Yu Gaowen.

In particular, Lanmaloch's spear skills are the best in Britain, even stronger than Artoria's by a few points, and are considered by this era to be the ultimate spear skills that cannot be surpassed.

And the opponent's end was also quite aggrieved. One person beat multiple knights head-on, leading the coquettish, but was hanged by the backstab of the trusted Mordred. The way of death can be said to be exactly the same as that of Tokiomi in the original world line.

It's no wonder that Bedivere couldn't hold everyone down anymore, because in this era, personal force is more valued, and if you want others to convince you, you have to conquer the other party. Bedivere's strength is not weak, and his spear skills are even more outstanding, but compared with Tristan and Lan Mallock, there is still a gap.

Gao Wen said: "So, the Archbishop of Cantreber invited me to be the leader of this crusade. But since Arthur is here, I think you are more suitable than me."

Shirou didn't directly refuse, but thought for a while, looked at Bedivere, and asked, "Bedwell, how many soldiers are here on Camelot's side?"

"Fifteen hundred," said Bedivere.

Shirou rubbed his chin, "What about the other kingdoms? Just tell me the total."

"About 2,000 people." Bedivere said after calculating.

"That is to say, there are five thousand people on our side, and two thousand people in other kingdoms?" Shirou stroked his chin.

Bedivere: "??????"

"That...Your Excellency Arthur, there are fifteen hundred people." Bedivere reminded.

"I know. I mean, I brought 3,500 people with me, and I'm stationed in the forest, so our total is 5,000 people." Shirou said.

"Yes... that's right." Bedivere nodded.

Artoria: "?????"

Arturia was dumbfounded.

My king, where did we get 3,500 soldiers?

"Anyway, if someone asks you how many people came to Camelot, you just say 5,000. Because whether it's your army or my army, it's our Camelot army." Shirou patted Bedivere's shoulder, said with a smile.

"I...I see, Sir Arthur!" Bedivere nodded.

Shirou turned his head, looked at the Archbishop of Cantreber, and said, "Archbishop of Cantreber, can I trouble you to gather the leading knights from other kingdoms outside the city? Since they are here for the purpose of crusade, let's go on like this , it’s not good. Although I don’t have much talent, I’m still willing to try to lead the combined army.”

"Okay, Arthur." The Archbishop of Cantreber nodded and left happily. He wanted to unify the army a long time ago, but unfortunately no one could do it. Now that Shirou intends to unify, he is naturally happy. In this way, it is possible to attack the mountain giant and the workshop behind it as soon as possible.

"Bedwell, you should move our army out of the city first." Shirou said.

Shirou didn't ask Bedivere directly for military power. Because this is unavoidable. The system of ancient Britain was different from that of the Chinese Empire. If the Chinese Empire needed soldiers, they could just use the military talismans. However, there was no military system in ancient Britain. It was an army system under the aristocratic system.

As a king, Shirou can command the big nobles, and the big nobles can command the small nobles, and the small nobles can dispatch troops. This is the enfeoffment system of the nobles, one ranks one level, but this also creates a situation where my vassals' vassals are not my vassals. This is also the reason why Western kingdoms have often been overthrown by powerful vassals .

Therefore, if you want to be king in the West, if you want long-term stability, you must find a way. During the period when the aristocratic class occupies the dominant position, find a way to take back all the power without touching the sensitive nerves of the other party. centralization.

"I understand, Lord Arthur!" Bedivere also left.

"Let's wait in the suburbs first." Shirou said, and left the church with Artoria, Gawain, and that Golmos.

On the way, Artoria approached Shirou and asked in a low voice, "My king, where did we get 3,500 soldiers?"

Shirou replied with a smile: "As long as no one exposes the truth, I say yes, then there will be."

"This...isn't this a fraud?" Arturia was troubled, "This...isn't this against justice?"

"Justice in the mouth is not real justice, Al." Shirou said: "Justice, it's not enough to talk about it, it needs to be practiced."

Artoria thought about it, then took out the notebook from her pocket and started to record.

Chapter 44: The Pure White Knight [Part 3]

Shirou and the others came to the outskirts of the castle, and after waiting for a while, Bedivere brought the army over.

Without waiting for Bedivere to recommend him, Shirou stood on a big rock by himself and said loudly: "Men of justice, I am Arthur, the incarnation of the British red dragon, the king of destiny!"

Shirou started introducing himself in front of the army.

But this time, his speech was not like before when a large number of people stared at him dryly. On the contrary, when he said Arthur's name.

The morale of the soldiers was shaken, and discussions arose.

"Is that the rumored Arthur who pulled out the sword in the stone?"

"It is rumored that they have set foot in every city in Camelot!"

"I've heard rumors about Arthur. The poets said that they hunted down terrifying monsters, expelled evil magicians, and helped countless civilians recover the land that should belong to them from the nobles!"
