Chapter 229 - Chapter 229: A Decade of Governance

"Complete… defeat…"

"As we agreed before the battle, Vortigern, submit to my command and serve me as your lord."

Vortigern floated on the surface of the sea, barely alive.

Moran stood before him.

[If you have the thought of completely annihilating it, then it certainly cannot survive this strike.]

[Even Vortigern himself knows this.]

[Thus, this mad dragon that plunged Britain into turmoil has completely surrendered to your royal radiance.]

[You are far above it as a king.]

[Moreover, you possess the means of eternal divinity, the ability to save this land. There is no reason to cling to that boring pride; it bows its head to you.]

[Offering loyalty from body to heart.]

[The mad dragon Vortigern hereby acknowledges—no king will ever be as great as you, nor will any strongman possess a radiance that surpasses yours.]

[Seeing the mad dragon submit at your feet,]

[It's as if even the darkness that obscured the sky bows down in submission, dissipating together to reveal a clear blue sky.]

[Rays of light shine upon you,]

[Welcoming the undefeated king who has achieved victory.]

[The magical army cheers for the victory of King.]

[You look at your subordinates, who offer fervent loyalty, and your eyes reveal both the pride and love of a king.]

[For these subordinates who do not give up even when on the brink of death,]

[You sincerely wish them a bright future.]

[Even those who have just joined the army, both kings and nobles, have also been dyed with the colors of the military.]

[They are invigorated, like a strand of lion's mane.]

[Witnessing the fierce battle against the mysterious, experiencing the unparalleled might of a true king, feeling the king's dominance in body and heart.]

[Feeling ashamed to call themselves kings.]

[In this moment where you shine so brightly, these noble kings can only bow their heads as mortals.]

"This war is our victory.

From now on, we will become the greatest mystery of Britain, bearing heavy responsibilities, so that the ideals we pursue may eternally exist in the world."

[You vow to your subordinates.]

[They respond with a roar like a mountain flood, believing that such continuous victories will come.]

[The emotional torrent of shouting continues to spread—]

[Struggling, fighting, battling continuously until the end of eternity, just to achieve that desired ideal kingdom.]

[After that, things became very natural.]

[The indomitable magical army devoured Britain at a speed like wildfire; there was no existence that could stop them.]

[With the mad dragon's defeat and the complete annihilation of external enemies,]

[Achieving unification was inevitable.]

[Whether it was the Picts, who had been enemies for many years, or the remaining Saxons on the island, they were crushed and destroyed by the terrifying military force walking the path of magecraft, with no ability to resist.]

[The radiance of the light king spread throughout Britain.]

[Some nobles and kings went mad due to this radiance, some shed tears of loyalty, and others were drawn to the light, forgetting themselves.]

[You witnessed the myriad forms of humanity.]

[Even those who tried to play clever, pretending to submit to the light king while secretly plotting behind the scenes,]

[They were merely digging their own graves.]

[Although the king's radiance is dazzling,]

[It also brings a fiery heat.]

[In a situation where all of Britain has become the innermost part of you, there is no need for magical soldiers to take action; just a thought can bring desolation and calamity to the territories of the rebels.]

[Only the land enveloped by your love]

[can exist as the land of divinity in Britain.]

[When calamity descends, no one will question you as king; the people will actively seek to eliminate the rebels for you.]

[Their loyalty will only be offered to the king.]

[It has been a full ten years since the battle with Vortigern.]

[In these ten years, the chaos and darkness that once plagued the people of Britain have become distant; they have lived very peacefully under your governance.]

[The reconstruction of the holy castle of Camelot.]

[Truly ascending the throne as the king of Britain.]

[You changed the system to a monarchy; other kings lost their radiance before you, and Britain can only have one king.]

[Meanwhile, Artoria has also grown up.]

[Although some loyal subordinates see her as a threat due to the prophecy, believing that Britain does not need a second king,]

[You merely smiled calmly, knowing that Artoria could never be your enemy.]

[As you expected, Artoria drew the sword from the stone; she did not declare herself king to the outside world.]

[She became the knight who serves you.]

[With the memories of the last simulation, no matter what, she will only stand by your side.]

"Indeed… Moran… your appearance as king… is even more suitable than mine…"

"Ha ha, don't say that; I think you, Ria, are not lacking at all. I have my limitations; what I want is for this ideal land to last forever, not to become a perfect eternal king."

Moran spoke words full of meaning.

This left Artoria a bit puzzled.

She could not find fault with the beautiful Britain of today. Naturally, she wanted Moran to continue ruling.

Although she had many confusions in her heart.

She would not doubt your words.

[Not only has Artoria become your knight,]

[Many of the Round Table knights look up to your radiance, just like those attracted noble kings; they also offered the hilt of their swords as a declaration of loyalty to you.]

[Similar to knights like Gawain, Agravain, Gareth, and Mordred, they are the offspring of you and Morgan.]

[With the expansion of the Idea Blood principle,]

[Now, it has covered all of Britain.]

[Though it is called a wall, in reality, it is an invisible barrier that ordinary people cannot see or touch. You can freely decide the conceptual form of the wall; shaping it into a transparent membrane also has its purpose.]

[Since you want to create an everlasting territory,]

[Then stagnation is not an option.]

[You did not choose to preserve Britain as if it were in a greenhouse.]

[Although the transparent wall has turned Britain into a singularity, it has not cut off its connection with the outside world.]

[People inside Britain can go outside the island,]

[And people from outside can come to the island.]

[The wall you created isolates the world's rules and the great source of mystery within Britain.]

[Cultural exchange and interaction are essential.]

[You, as king, have this foresight.]
