The knight king of the otherworldly moon

"That..., why do we have to fight against Britain.

Even if it fails, it's better to leave like before."

At this point a bishop named Martin stepped forward.

"Leave! Leave, where else can we go to Macedonia, we will completely become a vassal of the conquering king.

Rome does not welcome us, and as for Britain, if we could go, it would not be here now."

Richelieu calmly stated a certain fact.

The church had a bad time before, but at least it wasn't so bad.

But the king of this era is too strong, so they have almost nowhere to stay.

After the meeting, the Pope left Richelieu behind.

"Archbishop, I want you to go to the Court of Saints to activate that... taboo thing,."

"Your Majesty, are you sure? After that thing is activated, even if we win, we cannot avoid the coveted hearts of Macedonia and Rome."

Richelieu looked at the Pope in surprise.

"As you said, we have no choice.

I will send my son Caesar Borgia to help you."

"If this is your order, I see."

no.482 King to King

A few days later, the ground that had been turned into muddy water due to the rain had dried up, and at this time, Cleitus and Krattus, who were originally guarded by Macedonia in the south, finally arrived at the front line.

After getting ready, Alexander finally responded to Lucifer's challenge book.

Before the Fortress of the Misty Moon, on the vast plain, Britain and Macedonia have already launched their battles.

Due to previous defeats, Macedonia is now as strong as Britain's, but they still have the Papal State's army of [-].

So in general, they still have the advantage in terms of military strength.

The army formations of the two sides were thousands of meters apart. Before the official battle, Lucifer and Tristan walked out of the formation. At the same time, Alexander also brought Seleucus to the formation.

"Knight King, I have been looking forward to today's meeting for a long time.

It's a pity that this meeting was on the battlefield, and we couldn't talk about our ideals while drinking.

What a disappointment."

Alexander on the chariot spoke to Lucifer.

"You are exactly as rumored."

At this moment, Lucifer on the battle horse was seriously looking at Alexander.

"You're...a lot worse than the rumors. You don't look like you can drink too much."

"Drink more while you can.

This is our first meeting, but it may be our last."

The place in front of you is the battlefield, and if Alexander is defeated, the result may be... death.

This is the same for... Lucifer.

"the last time."

"If you lose this time, I hope your ox cart runs fast."

Invisibly, Lucifer's words spoke of Alexander's escape before.

That time they only had a face-to-face, and the result was Alexander's retreat, which ended with the loss of a general.

In the face of Lucifer's angry words, Alexander said not to be outdone.

"In the same case, I will return it to you as it is.

Don't think that you won a small victory before, that is...the real win for me."

"I'm not that naive.

On the gauntlet, I offered to see me, and I agreed, so let's talk now.

Although it is certainly not a word of surrender, I have said that everyone has a chance.

Take advantage of the opportunity now.”

"It is indeed a rare opportunity.

If I shoot you and defeat you directly, does that mean that we have already won the battle."

Alexander touched his chin and laughed out a possibility.

King to king, if they now decide the outcome, in a sense, it basically means the outcome of Britain and Macedonia.

After all, this is a battlefield, and before the result of the sudden death of the king, Rome and Ross had already staged it once.

"It might be true for you.

I am not established.

Although I don't think you'd be so stupid, I'll just remind you for the time being.

If you just moved, you are already dead."

The calm words revealed Lucifer's confidence.

If it was one-on-one, Lucifer himself would lose to the Conqueror King in front of him.

No, you shouldn't say you will lose, you should say that the winner is definitely yourself.

"Very good, that's it... this is a question, what is the ideal you pursue, King of the Knights?"

Alexander goes straight to the point.

His question was not so much an ideal as a question of the kingship, or even a question of Lucifer himself.

"An ideal country that can heal all wounds and heal all sorrows."

Lucifer responded calmly to Alexander.

"Only in this way.

If that's the case, what you're doing now runs counter to your ideals."

"The way of troubled times, the strong survive, the weak perish.

If, as you said, just blindly defending, as soon as possible, Britain will disappear into this troubled world.

The result of sitting still is suicide."

"The sword of slaughter is swung for protection. The heavy weight on the blade, the accumulation of undead, can you grasp the weight of the sword?"

Alexander's expression suddenly changed: serious.

"To fight to stop fighting, to kill to kill.

This is my way."

Lucifer raised his hand and said what he did.

To fight to stop fighting, to kill to kill.

The seemingly simple eight characters reveal the heaviness of an extraordinary person.

If you want to pursue the ideal country, then you must have the pursuit of human kindness in your body and mind, but in order to pursue these......, you have to get your hands dirty.

For a knight who pursues ideals, this process of leading to ideals is a little pollution to the knight's heart.

"It's so sad, King of Knights! In order to create a pure world where everyone can laugh and grow up happily, your hands will inevitably be stained with sin and filth.

The more you fight, the closer you get to the end, the more darkness you will have.

If one day, your ideal country does appear, everyone can laugh, everyone can grow up happily, and everyone lives under the light, then you will be the only sinner in that ideal country."

Alexander keenly discovered a huge contradiction in what Lucifer wanted to do.

If Lucifer wanted to create an ideal kingdom of good people, then all the evils would inevitably converge on the king.

In the end, the king saved the country, but at the same time he became a sinner who was incompatible with the kingdom.

"I know."

Lucifer's calm response surprised Alexander somewhat.

"you know"

"I've already realized it.

My subjects gave all of themselves to me, and I was crowned king to lead them to the world of light.

This is the tacit understanding between us from the moment we pulled out the sword of the king.

It is not a burden, but the dark desire of the human heart that I took the initiative to choose.

So, you don't understand at all, King of Conquerors."

Speaking of this, Lucifer looked at Alexander, and his tone began to change.

This scene made Lucifer feel nostalgic.

It's not that I have had a similar experience, but I have seen it on the screen, the three kings meeting where the king of conquering bullied the king of dumb hair.

Thinking of this moment, Lucifer prepared to counterattack as the king of knights.

"Oh! I don't understand what"

Alexander was not angry at this time, but asked with great interest.

"Invincible, one day it will come to an end.

With the goal of "conquest", you, who have your eyes fixed on the power of the king, will end up... dying on the ideal road.

You won't understand my royal way at all."

"I may die on my own way of chasing my ideals, but King of Knights, even if you really succeed in achieving your ideals, the world you single-handedly created will no longer have a place for you."

Alexander saw through the huge contradiction of Lucifer's ideal.

If he is the kind of person who may die because of the failure of the chase, then Lucifer's future is even more tragic.

no.483 Similar but completely different kings

Because Lucifer himself created a world that cannot be tolerated by himself.

In that world, everyone is good, so only the king can combine the evil of this world.

"If that day comes, it will prove that this country no longer needs the existence of a king.

When laws and principles are confused, people cannot see their essence, so they need a sign that they can see, and that is the king.

When dharma and li become part of human habits, the existence of kings can be dispensable.

For me, the best memorial is... to forget my own existence."

Lucifer's calm words revealed his understanding of the king.

If there is a day when the world no longer prays for its own appearance, it does not need itself, and can be forgotten lightly.

That in itself meant that the world that he and Leah were looking forward to had arrived.

At that time, he will no longer be the king of knights, but an ordinary person named Lucifer.

That feels good too.

However..."The world you see can't appear at all.

You may create brilliance, you may guide this chaotic world to the right track, but you cannot heal the heart.

Once you disappear, it is impossible for your descendants to have the same you again, and when the world falls into chaos again, the light you once radiated will still be remembered by countless people.

This means that your ideal prosperity will never come."

Alexander is the king who uses desire and gathers desire.
