Chapter 567 Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
"Political differences?"
Ilsa flashed her beautiful big eyes and looked at the man in black robes doubtfully.
However, the man in black robe turned a blind eye to Ilsa's doubtful gaze, and instead asked a question that did not seem to have anything to do with the current topic:
"Little sister, do you like or respect Arthur Pendragon?"
"Well! I respect and admire the 'King of Knights' the most!"
As soon as the man in black robe finished asking the question, Ilsa nodded without thinking.
"The 'Knight King' ascended the throne as the emperor of the Su Yinglan Empire at a young age and took over the mess that the Su Yinglan Empire was in at that time."
"But with her extraordinary political skills and military talent, she successfully brought the Suyingland Empire out of the predicament at that time and defeated all the enemies around it, especially the barbarians who had been entrenched in the western part of the Suyingland Empire for hundreds of years! She is our leader
The greatest king in the history of the Deniya people! No one!"
The man in black robe listened quietly to Ilsa's impassioned speech about her admiration for Arthur.
"Isn't there one of the greatest kings in the history of Britannias..."
The man in black robe repeated Ilsa's comment about Arthur just now.
Although the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, he showed a meaningful smile.
"Yes, indeed many people evaluate Arthur as the greatest king in the history of the Britons. Some of Arthur's fanatical admirers also call Arthur the greatest king in the history of mankind."
"But little sister, do you know Arthur's other nicknames?"
"Tyrant, war maniac, fanatical lover of war."
"When Arthur was still alive, many people said this about Arthur."
"Some people commented that the Knights of the Round Table under Arthur were a murderous group that carried out killings in the name of justice and protecting the country."
"?" Ilsa hesitated in a panic, "Is that so... This is the first time I've heard of it..."
"Haha, little sister, you are still young after all. It is normal not to know about Arthur's dark history."
The man in black robe smiled.
"Although Arthur has a lot of dark history, it is an indisputable fact that she has achieved immortal achievements. Under the light of her immortal achievements, her dark history has been slightly obscured."
"When you grow up and learn more about Arthur's history, you will know that I did not lie. To this day, some people still call Arthur a war madman."
"When Arthur took over the Su Yinglan Empire, the Su Yinglan Empire at that time had enemies on all sides and was full of worries internally."
"After rectifying the political situation of the empire and eliminating the internal worries of the empire, Arthur began to solve the external troubles and began to think of ways to restore peace to the Suyingland Empire."
After hearing the word "peace", Ilsa couldn't help but raise her beautiful eyebrows. Her eyes showed a more intense curiosity, and she listened to the man in black robe more seriously.
"After Arthur thought hard, he decided to use the simplest, crudest, and most effective method at the time to solve the foreign troubles and return the Suyingland Empire to peace."
"That is to launch a large-scale foreign war and conquer all directions."
"As long as all the enemies are defeated and eliminated, there will naturally be no more external troubles."
"After deciding on the strategic policy, Arthur began to strengthen the empire's military power and promoted 12 generals with extraordinary military talents. These 12 generals would become the Twelve Knights of the Round Table in the future."
"Arthur's idea sounds terrible, right?" The man in black robe smiled bitterly at Ilsa, "Waging a war for the sake of peace, using such a bloody method to exchange for peace."
After hearing the question from the man in black robe, Ilsa fell silent.
Ilsa felt that her mind could not answer such a serious question yet, and she could not think of an answer.
The man in black robe seemed to have no intention of getting any answer from Ilsa from the beginning. After asking Ilsa this question, he continued:
"Arthur's idea of exchanging war for peace was opposed by many people at the time, such as some of the Knights of the Round Table."
"This is the so-called 'political difference' I just mentioned."
"Arthur insisted on using iron-blooded means to obtain peace in Su Yinglan, but some Knights of the Round Table strongly opposed Arthur's approach and believed that he should not be so radical and should try hard to seek peace on the negotiating table instead of
To rely on war.”
"It is precisely because of their different ideas that the relationship between Arthur and most of the Knights of the Round Table is not good."
"Thankfully, Arthur was very charismatic and had outstanding talents at that time. Even though most of the Knights of the Round Table were opposed to Arthur's idea, Arthur was still able to make them obedient and obedient.
Act according to Arthur's ideas."
"Arthur insisted on pursuing the strategy of 'exchanging war for peace' and led the twelve Knights of the Round Table and Su Yinglan's army to conquer all directions."
"This long war lasted for 14 years."
"After 14 years of fighting, Arthur finally succeeded in defeating all the enemies around the Suyingland Empire. Among them, the barbarians in the west were conquered by Arthur. After annexing the territory of the Western Barbarians, the territory of the Suyingland Empire was greatly reduced.
The area has nearly doubled."
"Although Arthur finally realized her wishes and goals, defeated all enemies, made the Su Yinglan Empire free from foreign troubles, and enjoyed a long-lost period of peace, but she also paid a heavy price."
"Foreign enemies aside, the Su Yinglan Empire itself suffered countless casualties. Countless soldiers were killed and wounded in these fourteen years of war, and the money spent was incalculable. Countless families were broken...everyone in the country
In villages and towns, there are almost no young men left..."
Speaking of this, the man in black robe seemed to be unwilling to talk any more, and shook his head with a wry smile.
After being silent for a while, the man in black robe continued:
"Arthur's immortal feats were made of countless white bones, so Arthur is still being criticized to this day. People criticize her as a war madman, a tyrant, and a fanatical lover of war."
"What do you think, little sister?"
The man in black robe turned his head and looked at Ilsa, who had been silently listening to her talk about Arthur's dark history since just now.
After hearing the question from the man in black robe, Ilsa thought for a while.
After a while, Ilsa whispered:
"...I am still immature and ignorant, so I don't know how to evaluate the 'King of Knights'..."
"However, I imagine that a genius like the 'Knight King' who can help the Su Yinglan Empire get out of trouble and become the most powerful country at that time will definitely not make any stupid strategies."
"The 'Knight King' will choose to use violence to solve the peace problem of the empire. I think the 'Knight King' must also have many difficulties in this..."
After hearing what Ilsa said, the man in black robe's pupils shrank slightly, and a faint look of surprise appeared on his face.
"I just learned a new piece of knowledge a few days ago: violence and negotiation are only one of the ways to solve problems. Sometimes, violence may even be the best way to solve things."
"I don't know what the situation was like thousands of years ago when the 'King of Knights' started preparing to deal with foreign troubles, but I think the situation at that time might have been one in which there was no other option but to use force."
"Perhaps the 'King of Knights' realized this and decided to use violence, a method that many people at that time and now did not understand or even oppose, to deal with the enemies around the empire."
Speaking of this, Ilsa paused.
After thinking for a while and reorganizing his words, he continued to whisper:
"If I were the 'King of Knights' and found that there was no other way but to use force to deal with foreign enemies, I might be like the 'King of Knights' and resolutely carry out nationwide mobilization and mobilize the major knights.
To defeat and even conquer this foreign enemy."
