Her name was Tang Xuanzang, also known as Tang Sanzang. She once traveled alone from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Paradise to seek Buddhist scriptures. She never gave up despite the eighty-one tribulations she encountered. She was never afraid of hardship, nor could she be deterred by pleasure.
“I have completed my journey to the West to obtain the Buddhist scriptures. Now, I only want to return to my hometown.”
"You are already a heroic spirit, Xuanzang Sanzang!" Agravure said coldly. "Your actions in life are meaningless to you. Moreover, this world has no home for you!"
"Hometown is not only the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, but also the pure land deep in one's heart. I haven't found it here, so goodbye everyone! Oh, and I'll take my newly accepted disciple with me."
As Sanzang spoke, he took the nine-ringed staff, turned around, and strode away from this idyllic holy city.
As Mordred watched Sanzang's retreating figure, she was about to draw her brilliant sword and deliver a righteous backstab to the woman, but Gawain stopped her.
"A sneak attack is against the code of chivalry. How did the chief teach you back then!"
Looking at Gao Wen, Xiao Mo reluctantly put away his weapon.
"Fine, fine, you lot are really something, you've already done so many things that violate your chivalry..."
Upon hearing Mordred's words, the knights present all lowered their heads.
Of the twelve Knights of the Round Table, eleven, excluding the missing Bedivere, were summoned by the Lion King.
Gawain remembered that it was dusk when the Lion Queen told them her decision, a decision that went against chivalry. As a result, the eleven Knights of the Round Table split into two factions.
One side consisted of him, Mordred, Agrave, Lancelot, Tristan, and her sister Gareth. The other five, led by Percival, stood on the opposite side.
So they took up the butcher's knife.
That's right, it was the sword of slaughter. Percival and his men called it resistance, but they didn't really have much fighting spirit. After all, as Knights of the Round Table, they couldn't truly raise their swords against the king. And the result, naturally, was a complete victory for their side.
“As a knight, it is my duty to obey the king’s commands,” Agravivan said.
He was the most steadfast of all the knights, which was no surprise to anyone. Everyone knew that if King Arthur gave the order, he would not hesitate to commit suicide immediately.
Even if the king's orders are wrong.
"If only the chief were still here," Gareth said, who had been silent until now.
In the original timeline, she should have embraced the demon and perished together with him during the Lion King's battle. However, because everyone's strength had greatly increased after the simulation, the battle was ended with almost no effort. Therefore, Gareth survived as well.
Apart from Lancelot, who was leading troops in the field, it could be said that the remaining five Knights of the Round Table had all gathered here.
Hearing Gareth say that, everyone sighed. Besides, even if Lin Ye were here, he would definitely be on Percival's side.
Everyone knows a bit about Lin Ye.
"Alright, I have something to do, I'll be going now." Tristan didn't say anything more, he picked up his bow and arrows and left.
He also has his own tasks.
Suppress the unarmed villagers.
……
West Village
"Run! Everyone! The Knights of Camelot are coming!"
With a shout, the villagers of West Village immediately started running frantically.
They had moved fast enough, but they hadn't expected the Knights of Camelot to be even faster!
There are 200 people in Xizhi Village, of whom 160 had already evacuated in the afternoon, leaving only 40 elderly, weak, women and children behind.
At that moment, Tristan, wielding a longbow, caught up.
"not good!"
Hassan, drunk, looked at Tristan in front of him and charged forward without hesitation!
however……
"It's no use, you're no match for me."
Tristan plucked the bowstring, and streaks of light landed directly on Smoked Hassan!
Puff puff!
In just one encounter, Hassan, drunk, was already covered in wounds.
Even the battle-hardened Hassan is far inferior to a top-tier Servant like Tristan. Moreover, Tristan has undergone a significant power boost through simulation and received the Lion King's blessing. Even a Servant of exceptional rank would find Tristan extremely troublesome to encounter.
"Is this the end...? Do you still want to lead more of your compatriots to retreat..."
Looking at the battered and bruised Yan Zui, Tristan silently walked up to him. Although he had blinded himself, he could still "see" everything.
"It's...so sad. Old man of the mountain, with your skills you could have easily escaped from here on your own, but you chose to stay. To sacrifice yourself to protect people who are worthless, your choice makes me feel sad."
"They are not worthless! Every life has its own meaning!"
"It's ironic that these words came from the mouth of a killer with blood on his hands. You've killed many times, even dozens of times, more people than the dozens behind you, yet you chose to stay?"
"That's different!" Yan Zui shouted. "Fine, since you think my life has value, how about we make a deal?"
Yan Zui pressed the dagger against his throat.
“I’ll give you my life, you spare them. Otherwise, I’ll run away immediately. You should know, no one can leave a Hassan alive in the desert!”
"What a noble person he is. But unfortunately, the orders I have received do not allow me to give up."
"Then let's change the terms. I'll cut off my own head for your right arm and leg, and you can't touch either of those places, how about that?"
His right arm needs to pull the string, and his feet need to chase. In that case, he probably won't be able to chase anymore.
Tristan thought for a moment, then silently nodded.
"it is good."
"It's a deal!" After saying that, Yan Zui immediately brandished the dagger and stabbed it towards his throat!
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the darkness!
"If you choose to commit suicide, then none of the people behind you will survive."
"Who goes there!" Yan Zui stopped what he was doing. He too felt fear at that moment!
He was Hassan, yet he hadn't noticed that someone was always around him! What terrifying stealth skills! Perhaps only the King Hassan could accomplish such a feat.
However, Yan Zui did not notice that Tristan, who was sitting opposite him, had turned pale!
Because he had already recognized whose voice it was!
That man!! He really came!
Chapter 612 King Arthur? I have three here!
Lin Ye!
Looking at the man in front of him, Tristan felt an unprecedented fear.
What should have been a heartwarming reunion of old friends has become incredibly embarrassing due to the timing, location, and my current behavior.
"Chief...Chief"
Tristan awkwardly greeted Lin Ye.
"Don't call me Chief. I don't recall ever teaching you how to massacre civilians."
Lin Ye strongly insisted that he and Tristan were not familiar with each other. This made Tristan even more embarrassed.
What should I do now? Is this what death is like? "And you are...?" Yan Zui looked at Lin Ye in front of him. Judging from Tristan's address to the other party, they clearly knew each other, but from their conversation, this person seemed to be on their side. At least not his enemy.
Lin Ye looked at Yan Zui behind him and said to him, "I am a friend of Zhou Wan."
"Is that so! That's wonderful!" Yan Zui's eyes lit up. A friend of Cursed Wrist—that must be one of their own! Could it be that he was saved?
Lin Ye slowly turned his head and calmly said to Tristan in front of him, "I'll protect these people. You can go back now."
Hearing Lin Ye say that, Tristan laughed.
"My lord, have you forgotten that the Knights of the Round Table never back down?"
"But I've also told you that when you encounter an opponent you can't defeat, you can retreat strategically. What? Do you think you're my opponent?"
"At least, we can give it a try." Tristan immediately raised his bow, his entire aura instantly changing! "Noble Phantasm Unleashed, Failnaught!!"
hum!
Like a harp bow being played by Tristan, melodious music rang out, and sharp, cold lights shot towards Lin Ye from all directions in an instant!
"Be careful!" Yan Zui wanted to warn Lin Ye, as he had just lost his fighting ability due to this move, and the opponent's attacks this time were clearly more concentrated! It looked like a sure kill.
However, Lin Ye did not react. He let the attacks fall on him, making clanging sounds.
Smoking... well, never mind.
Tristan could only manage a wry smile. He had initially thought he could hold his own against Lin Ye in his current state, but...
No, I still have a chance! He can't be completely flawless; his eyes, throat, heart, lower abdomen…
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Ye rushed up and kicked Tristan to the ground, then proceeded to punch and kick her handsome face!
Lin Ye wasn't afraid, but who wants to be hit there? Lin Ye wasn't that kind of pervert.
After beating him for a while, Lin Ye finally stopped. Then... he saw Tristan lying on the ground with a smile.
