Chapter 1440 The Rebellion of the Knights of the Round Table (Part 2)

Loni - one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table under Arthur.

One of only 4 female knights among the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

Each of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table basically has his own command characteristics or fighting style that he is good at.

For example - Avalon is good at defense, Delan is good at offense.

Compared with these colleagues, Loni does not have any particularly outstanding characteristics.

Loni is a person with very average talents. She has no particularly good tactics or fighting styles, and no shortcomings.

Such an ordinary person should have become the least conspicuous among the Knights of the Round Table.

But for two reasons, she became the most famous among the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

The first reason - she is very favored by "King of Knights" Arthur.

Whether it is those serious historical records or those unofficial histories whose source is unknown, it is clearly recorded in the "King of Knights" Arthur's love for Loni.

As for why "King of Knights" Arthur likes Loni so much, there have been various theories throughout the ages.

Some historians believe that because Loni and Arthur are both women, it is easier for women to have common topics, so it is normal for them to have a deep friendship.

Some historians also believe that it was because Loni was a general who reassured "King of Knights" Arthur.

Although the Knights of the Round Table are all outstanding generals, they are not invincible in every battle.

They lost countless battles.

Among them, only Loni had the lowest defeat rate.

At the same time, it's also relative - Loni has almost never won a big victory with such rich results that it's jaw-dropping.

The battles Loni fought most were the small victories.

As a leader, "King of Knights" Arthur would naturally prefer subordinates like Loni who would not easily cause her trouble or cause her huge losses.

Some historians have even stronger views.

Some historical scholars believe that "King of Knights" Arthur was actually a homosexual who liked girls, and she liked Loni.

Although this view may sound absurd.

But in fact, many people support this view.

Because they have many arguments to support this view.

One of the arguments is that "King of Knights" Arthur never married a man from the time he ascended the throne to his death due to illness.

I have never had close interaction with a male.

Arthur's unattractive behavior will naturally make later historians think that Arthur is a person who prefers women to men.

And this point of view also leads to another more bizarre topic - whether "King of Knights" Arthur prefers Loni or Avalon.

Loni and Avalon are both female knights among the Knights of the Round Table, and both are equally loved by Arthur.

In short - because Loni and Arthur have such an ambiguous relationship that is easy to imagine, she will be far more famous than other Knights of the Round Table in later generations.

As for the second reason why Loni is so famous...it also has something to do with Arthur.

The second reason why Loni is so famous - when Arthur had unified two-thirds of the continent and was only one step away from the complete unification of the continent, Loni led the other four Knights of the Round Table to launch a palace attack. coup.

Loni, Galante, Langheris, Caldwell, and Morbaugh—the five Knights of the Round Table, led by Loni, launched a palace coup to assassinate the "King of Knights" Arthur.

Later generations called this rebellion of five people the "Round Table Rebellion."

Although the palace coup initiated by Loni ended in "failure and all five people died", Loni still succeeded in stabbing "King of Knights" Arthur at the last moment of her life.

Fortunately, the injury was not fatal, and Arthur survived Loni's assassination.

Although the coup by Loni and others failed, the coup still dealt a great blow to Arthur.

After this coup, Arthur stopped waging war.

Not long after, Arthur died of a sudden illness.

As for what disease Arthur died of, there have been various theories over the past thousand years.

Not long after Arthur died of a sudden illness, the huge empire she had built that occupied two-thirds of the continent also collapsed due to various reasons.

The territory of the Suyinglan Empire shrunk back to the west of the continent - where the Britannia Empire is today.

…

…

After realizing that he seemed to be going off topic, Bancro promptly terminated the topic without further elaboration.

He looked at Vasili on the throne and observed Vasili's current expression.

Bancro clearly felt that the hesitation on Vasili's face became even more intense at this time.

And Bancro did not make a mistake in judgment - Vasili is indeed more hesitant now about whether to form an alliance with the Britannia Empire.

The worry raised by the minister just now, "What should we do if our country and the Britannia Empire allied themselves to attack the Frankish Empire together and then the Britannia Empire turns its troops to attack us?" Xili actually didn't take it seriously.

Because as Bancro said just now, Vasily did not believe that the Britannia Empire had the strength to fight three major empires continuously and unify the continent.

Vashili did not think that the Britannia Empire would be like a mad dog, attacking the Holy Hilan Empire after defeating the two great powers of the Roland Empire and the Frank Empire.

So Vashili did not take the concern raised by the minister just now seriously.

…

…

Looking at Vashili, whose hesitation became more intense, Bankro gritted his teeth.

In order to make Vashili completely determined, he decided to use his final means.

The central government of the Britannia Empire unanimously agreed that their final means would be quite lethal to a face-loving person like Vashili.

But… if possible, Bankro did not want to use this final means.

Bankro recalled what Ilsa said to him when he left Pendragon:

"Bankro, don't worry about anything. If you find that you have to use this 'ultimate means' to make Vashili make up his mind, just use it without worrying about me. For the Britannia Empire, I don't mind making this little sacrifice."

After thinking about what Ilsa said to him before leaving, Bankro's face showed a firm look.

After biting his teeth a few times, Bankro opened his lips again and said:

"Your Majesty. The monarchs and ministers of our Britannia Empire have always admired your country."

"Your country is the last country to become a neutral country among the major countries on the continent."

"But it has conquered the largest territory among the major countries!"
