All the heroes of the world are gathered here today!
Looking at the Knights' neat steps, the entire Royal City of Camelot was surrounded by a continuous stretch of 100,000 camps, with horses neighing and people bustling, which truly overwhelmed Kailar.
Pointing his staff, Kailar burst into laughter: "Look, Lily! Do you see these 100,000 continuous camps below? This is exactly what I've been waiting for! Can you imagine the feeling of these 100,000 people clashing with the enemy, and me commanding them as if they were my own limbs!" Turning his head, Kailar was as happy and excited as a child: "This is what I need! This is what I've been waiting for!"
As if understanding something, Artoria, sitting on her horse, softly asked: "Kay, is commanding these thousands of troops what you want?"
Kailar turned back and said unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Aren't you very clear about everything I've done, everything I want!" Kailar looked at Artoria: "Aren't you the clearest!"
Kailar's gaze seemed to penetrate people's hearts, and Artoria almost blurted out her secret.
"Alright, don't be silly, Lily, I know you're nervous... but this matter has already been decided by Merlin and the others, you just need to show your face a little and let them know the might of a female Knight." Kailar was still worried that Artoria was still concerned about the Sword of Victory, and he blurted out their plan, causing Artoria's heart to almost leap out of her throat. She nearly cried out, finally understanding the feelings of merchants who were calculated by Kailar or who haggled with Kailar: a single word from Kailar could expose your little scheme, not to mention Kailar's nonchalant attitude, which instantly made you question your own intelligence, followed by Kailar's unique skill of directly starting to haggle... The final result was always the number that satisfied Kailar the most... Artoria moved a few steps away from Kailar... Not good at deceiving or hiding, she felt an instinctive panic when lying to Kailar: it was the instinct of her, who had been a Knight attendant and bodyguard since childhood, never having deceived Kailar... On the contrary, Kailar had always calculated others, and instinctively wouldn't use this calculating ability on those around him, which allowed Artoria to escape a predicament.
The Red Leaf Ridge camp was to the east, directly facing the direction they came from. They weren't in a hurry to enter the city, setting up camp on the designated ground. The small Red Leaf Ridge alone had eight thousand legitimate Knights, a ratio that was astonishing.
Next, it wasn't leisure time. The four Grand Dukes of the southeast, northwest finally gathered together. As former personal guards of King Uther, visiting each other was a must.
As the successor, Kailar naturally had to go along to exchange pleasantries. After his father passed away, it would still be Kailar dealing with their successors.
Kailar knew that among the heirs of these three Grand Dukes, there must be some who would become Knights of the Round Table. The one hundred and fifty Knights of the Round Table included Kings, Grand Dukes, nobles, and titled Knights, all of whom were the result of political compromise.
Kailar had seen from the very beginning what this so-called equality was all about.
Think about it! Two thousand five hundred years ago, China was still in a slave society! Two thousand five hundred years ago, Rome was still putting slaves and beasts in cages to watch as entertainment! How could you Celts have a Round Table that rendered the King useless, advancing the parliamentary system by thousands of years all at once?
You can't even fantasize about something two thousand five hundred years into the future, can you?!
Political compromise!
King Arthur did not completely integrate the military power of the nobles, but instead used the Round Table as a means of compromise to integrate the entire Camelot. Presumably, his identity as an illegitimate child made him a little uneasy, and he did not immediately integrate the chaotic nobles. After resisting foreign invasions, the forces loyal to the Royal Family were almost completely damaged, and when he wanted to integrate the noble forces, he found himself powerless.
Presumably, Lancelot, taking Queen Nygever, could run or fight as he pleased for the same reason, right? As the King of France, it was clearly a bad move to recruit Lancelot into the Knights of the Round Table. Firstly, Lancelot, who was known for "leaving no virgin in his territory," easily disrupted the unity within the Knights of the Round Table with his romantic affairs. Secondly, as a King, even a small King, Lancelot was the highest in martial prowess among the Knights of the Round Table (the leader of the Knights of the Round Table was Gawain, but because Lancelot had the highest martial prowess, many martial-minded Knights implicitly regarded him as their leader, which caused a small split in the Knights of the Round Table). Would Lancelot truly submit to King Arthur, who was also a King but inferior in martial prowess?
That guy just relied on his father and the Holy Sword... Such thoughts would become evil. Lancelot, who used absolute martial prowess to return to France and reclaim his throne, would despise King Arthur's martial prowess. When he received "Arondight" (it is said that Arondight was invented by Urobuchi Gen, its original name was Arondight, the Sword of the Lake or the Sword of the Fairies, but since it will enter Fate/Zero in the future, I will follow Urobuchi Gen's naming) from the Lady of the Lake, which could rival King Arthur's Sword of Victory, the emotion named jealousy took root and sprouted in Lancelot's heart.
As for his affair with Nygever, which later generations called: spiritual love, that's pure nonsense. Can you tolerate your wife, lying beside you, still thinking of others?
Not to mention Lancelot's notorious deeds in France, where he used the lord's "* *" to an extremely exaggerated degree. This is evident from the fact that Lancelot still longed for Nygever, who had become a nun, even after the poem "The Death of King Arthur."
Lancelot was the unstable factor in the entire Britain Knight Order! Because he was not a Camelotian!
Kailar immediately saw the instability of the Knights of the Round Table system, especially when reasoning from consequences to causes, which made Kailar very confident. Although he was very familiar with Lancelot, business was business, and personal matters were personal. This was Camelot's feast, and Lancelot, a Frenchman, would absolutely not be allowed to disrupt it!
Kailar's resolve was incredibly firm.
"Kay, these are your three uncles!" Kailar looked at the four towering Grand Dukes before him and suddenly felt a bit exasperated. Clearly, these three had all been personal guards of the King, not only holding noble titles but, more like Knights, possessing even stronger and larger physiques than Grand Duke Andre.
If one had to describe these three, they would be: a stag, a black bear, and a humpback whale.
These three were different from his father's fierce tiger-descending-from-the-mountain aura; these three Grand Dukes, just by their sheer size, were already imposing enough. Grand Dukes who could exert pressure without any movement just by standing there... A fierce tiger, a stag, a black bear, a humpback whale... Kailar let out a laugh.
