Chapter 509: Coup D’état
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Needless to say, the other Knights had also seen it.
Seeing that his frost had been shattered, Lancelot knew that things were not looking good.
However, it was too late for him to run.
After the Light Sword shattered the blue light beam, it headed straight for Lancelot.
“Ah!”
Following a shrill cry.
Lancelot was struck by the remaining power of the Light Sword and could no longer hold on.
Clang!
The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a wail.
And he himself fell to the ground one after another.
Looking at this scene, everyone was stunned.
They did not expect it to be an ending.
They originally thought that Lancelot would defeat Artoria and become the new King.
Who knew that he would still be cleanly defeated by the King?
He was just like a clown!
The King was still the King, and she was still as powerful as ever.
“Long live the King!”
“Haha, I knew that the King was still as powerful as ever.”
“You rebels are still not giving up!”
Seeing that the King had won, the Knights under her command cheered, and the worries from before were swept away.
In contrast, the Knights on the rebel side…
Right now, all of them were dejected, as if they were their parents.
Now that the matter had been settled and Lancelot had lost, who knew what would happen to them in the future?
Some of the Knights even revealed regretful expressions, hating themselves for being so greedy and being bribed by Lancelot.
However, it was too late to regret now.
“Everyone, don’t lose heart. We still have a chance.”
At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
This sudden voice also attracted everyone’s attention.
After seeing the specific person, they also understood who it was.
His name was Nick. He was a Knight who had joined in recent years, so he did not have much respect for Artoria.
Because of this, he often refuted Artoria at the round table meetings.
He was an important member of the opposition.
When Lancelot came to him, he directly agreed. He wanted more power.
And this, Lancelot could give him.
‘I thought today’s abdication would be smooth.’
‘At first, it was fine, forcing Artoria to admit her identity.’
‘But suddenly she inexplicably proposed one-on-one, and Lancelot inexplicably agreed.’
This made him a little confused.
There were so many of them. Couldn’t they just crush them?
You know, they were forcing the palace. It was a coup d’etat!
What was he thinking?
Was he still trying to win the battle by non-violent and non-cooperative means?
He was joking!
But seeing that the others had no objections, he could only helplessly agree.
However, who knew that in this one-on-one battle, Lancelot would actually be suppressed all the way?
The last move, Ice Freeze, was actually defeated by the opponent’s unknown Light Sword. He was seriously injured and unconscious.
Nick was speechless.
What was going on?
This coup was too much of a joke!
However, there was still a chance. It was Nick’s chance.
It was his chance to seize the leadership while everyone was confused.
Then he would lead the people to defeat Artoria.
Then his prestige would soar.
He wouldn’t be able to run for the throne at the end.
Because Lancelot had failed, and it was a crushing defeat.
But Nick had succeeded.
Nick was instantly excited at the thought of this possibility. He felt like an epoch-making figure.
As for whether he could defeat Artoria, he had never considered it.
He did not even need to ask that question.
Artoria was only at the peak of Godly Monarch at most. What about the rest of them?
There were 59 left.
The weakest were at the early Godly Monarch.
Most of them were at the intermediate and late Godly Monarch Realm.
Some of them were at the peak of the Godly Monarch Realm.
There was no reason why so many powerful people could not defeat them.
That was why Nick had looked down on Lancelot and the others just now.
They were too stubborn!
They were too old-fashioned!
They could no longer keep up with the times!
It just so happened that he was going to lead everyone into a new era.
Feeling the gaze of the Knights looking at him, Nick’s heart was filled with pride.
“We can’t give up. Once we give up, who knows if Artoria will punish us in secret? Therefore, we have to protect ourselves.”
Nick first said something amazing.
“But the King said before that she would let bygones be bygones,” a Knight said hesitantly.
“Yes, the King never makes promises easily, but once a promise is made, it will be carried out.”
Seeing the situation here, Artoria put away her sword and spoke hurriedly.
It was not easy to deal with the culprit, so they could not be in a mess now.
“It’s all nonsense. Of course, the King’s promise can be renewed, but who is Artoria? She is a woman. Don’t you know that women never keep their promises?”
Nick looked at the Knights with disdain.
“This…”
“It seems to be true. My wife never keeps her promises.”
“Sigh, my family is the same.”
Seeing that the Knights gradually believed him, black lines could not help but appear on Artoria’s head.
What was wrong with women?
Have women eaten your rice?
Where would you come from without women?
Why can’t a woman keep her word?
Artoria was very angry.
She really wanted to chop this Nick person with one sword right now. She had long been displeased with him.
But once she did so, it would cause panic among the other Knights. They would probably be even more convinced of that Nick’s views.
“Therefore, we must control our own fate. We should pick up our swords to protect ourselves.”
“Am I right?”
After seeing the Knights’ attitude change, Nick once again increased his bewitching.
“Yes!”
“We should control our own fate!”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
The rebel Knights also understood their situation and decided to go all the way.
Seeing that the morale had been raised, Nick was very satisfied. He pulled out his sword, raised it high above his head, and shouted, “Pull out your sword and fight with me!”
Zeng!
Zeng!
Zeng!
The sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard.
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
Looking at the Knights who were gradually rising up their fighting spirit under Nick’s bewitchment, Artoria had been watching coldly.
She had already given them a chance.
But they still would not repent.
Or it could be said that they had a ghost in their hearts, which was why they did not dare to surrender. They could only walk one path to the end.
Such a person was no longer worthy of being a Knight.
She had been too soft-hearted before.
After this incident, Artoria decided to get rid of them one by one.
They were all scum.
Thinking of this, Artoria’s eyes were filled with a cold light.
She pulled out the Sword of Victory without any fear.
“King, let us help you!”
Immediately, a group of Knights raised their swords and came behind the King.
A few neutral Knights also joined in.
They now understood that the neutral faction had no benefits. They would be attacked by both sides at the same time.
So after some discussion, they decided to join the King’s side and believed that the King could win.
