Chapter 23

The King does not yet know what is about to happen; she is watching the events that follow with great interest.

[The 89th day, noon: You arrive in the Camelot Forest. On the only path through the forest, you see a heroic and extraordinary knight. You know this is the knight who has been frequently provoking you, so you decide to take action yourself and defeat him.

You do not wish to reveal your identity as King Arthur to overwhelm him with status, and the other party claims he is not skilled in swordsmanship, so the two of you decide to hold a jousting match.

The opponent’s jousting skill is extremely high; for a while, you are unable to determine a winner. You both break six wooden lances. Finally, seeing that the sun is about to set, you cannot hold back any longer and draw the Sword in the Stone!

Just as you are about to use the Sword in the Stone, suddenly, the figure of Lin Ye appears before you!]

"Lin Ye? How did he follow me? Is he worried about me?" Artoria thinks to herself. Although she is confident in her own abilities, she is still very happy that Lin Ye is concerned for her.

[You ask Lin Ye to wait a moment, saying you will resolve this man's situation immediately. However, you discover that the look Lin Ye is giving you is incredibly stern!]

Hm?

The King curiously clicks on the detailed introduction of this simulation, and a scene appears in her mind.

She sees Lin Ye press down on the hand she was using to draw the sword and say, "What are you trying to do! You agreed to decide the victor with jousting! Isn't using a sword now a violation of the knight's contract? Can't you feel your sword trembling?"

This...

The King understands instantly. That’s right, how could she violate the knight's contract out of a moment of impulse? At this moment, the King’s satisfaction with Lin Ye increases by another point.

She sees the radiance of a knight in Lin Ye.

[You nod to show you understand, and just as you prepare to fight this knight again, Lin Ye blocks your path. He says to the knight in front of him:

"Your jousting skills are evenly matched; if you keep fighting, you'll likely be at it all day. I am her guardian knight; now, I will take her place to duel you."

The knight nods and agrees.

The two mount their horses again. The knight holds his lance and charges toward Lin Ye, and Lin Ye also meets him head-on, holding that red lance!]

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In three rounds, the opponent’s lance snaps in response! The opponent is shocked, then dismounts, willing to admit defeat.

The opponent identifies himself as Pellinore, also a king. Now, he is willing to bring the people of his territory to pledge allegiance to you. You are overjoyed and appoint him as a consultant and supervisor for the Knights of the Round Table.

The 89th day, night: The three of you return to Camelot. Merlin is standing at the city gate to welcome you. When he sees the Sword in the Stone in your hand, he is greatly shocked, but a second later, a smile appears on his face.]

"Fate has truly changed. Does this man I cannot see through really have such ability?" Merlin watches this scene with excitement. He can see through the past and future, but he cannot see through Lin Ye.

To be precise, he looked into the past and future and could not see Lin Ye’s figure at all!

That’s right, he cannot even see Lin Ye, who is sitting in Fuyuki City at this moment. It is the system's built-in shielding function; otherwise, wouldn't anyone with Mystic Eyes or telepathy discover the existence of the system? That would make this system too low-tier.

But precisely because of this, he easily attracts the attention and curiosity of people like Merlin, Gilgamesh, Solomon, and Scáthach.

"Interesting, truly interesting. To think that so much seasoning has been added to this boring life; it is simply too fascinating."

Merlin watches on with excitement.

The 93rd day: King Arthur feels that Camelot’s strength is sufficient, so she begins the war for the unification of Great Britain.

The 123rd day: Artoria conquers Cornwall.

The 134th day: Artoria defeats King Mark. During this time, she recruits a knight named Tristan.

The 254th day: Artoria defeats King Clino.

The 301st day: Artoria conducts the second Gaelic War, achieves victory, and completely subdues the Gaelic tribes.]

Within a year, Artoria begins her path of conquest, and in this same year, she unifies nearly eighty percent of the land of Great Britain!

Looking at her own performance, Artoria is also very satisfied.

"It seems I will be able to unify Great Britain very soon."

However, just as Artoria is watching happily, the following scene makes her frown.

[The 344th day: You are handling government affairs when suddenly, Agravain rushes in and tells you that the Saxons from Ireland have launched an attack on you!]

What!

The Saxons are here!

The King’s expression changes instantly. She knew the Saxons would attack Great Britain sooner or later, but she did not expect them to arrive so quickly!

"One year, there is still one year."

The King clenches her fists. She still has time; with the life simulation, she can definitely build Great Britain into something better!

[The 345th day: You lead the entire Arthurian Knights to the seaside.

The 351st day: You engage in formal battle with the Saxons. On the battlefield, the knights you lead are unstoppable. Under your assault, the Saxons are driven back to the island of Ireland.]

"These Saxons are nothing much."

Seeing this, the King smiles with relief. Great Britain grew up listening to horror stories about the Saxons. Originally, the King thought this would be a great war; to think it was nothing more than this.

Unfortunately, she still underestimated the Saxons.

[The 352nd day: Just as you are holding a victory banquet, a terrifying roar comes from the sky! In the sky! A black dragon has descended!]

"What! A black dragon!"

The King’s expression changes. That! That is a black dragon! No one understands the terror of dragons better than the King, because the red dragon bloodline of the Pendragon lineage flows within her!

It is this part of her bloodline that gives her immense magical energy and physical constitution far exceeding ordinary people. Then, how terrifying must this black dragon, which is mentioned alongside the red dragon, be!
