Chapter 401 Arthur Pendragon (Part 2)

October 22, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

8:55 am.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Royal Conference Room.

Today is the third day of the roundtable meeting.

At the same time, it is also one of the most important days of the roundtable.

Because this morning, it will be decided who will serve as the new leader of the Knights of Michael.

After the meeting officially starts at 9 o'clock this morning, voting will officially begin!

There are still 5 minutes left before 9 o'clock, and all the participants have already taken their seats early.

While waiting for the meeting to officially start, everyone was communicating and chatting in low voices to the people sitting next to them.

"Iselle." Albert put his hands behind his head, "The voting will officially begin soon. Who do you choose to be the new leader of the Michael Knights?"

"……I will not tell you."

"Don't tell me? Humph, you didn't think about it, right?"

"...You are indeed my best friend." Iser sighed helplessly, and then smiled, "You saw through it so easily. But I guess you didn't think about it, okay?"

"You are worthy of being my best friend and the person who stole the woman I love most. You have also seen through me."

Albert, who had a bit of fatigue on his face, also sighed softly: "It's really embarrassing... I really don't know who to choose... I feel like anyone is capable of taking over the position of leader of the Michael Knights... "

"Yes...it's really difficult..." After saying that, Iser sighed softly again.

…

Soon, 5 minutes passed.

Gozewen, Gale, and Jacob entered the conference room on time.

"I believe you all know what we are going to do this morning." As soon as he sat down in his seat, Ge Zewen said directly, "We are going to elect a new leader of the Michael Knights. This roundtable meeting includes There are 61 participants, each holding a vote. Paper, pen and ballot box are also ready. We will choose the new Knights of Michael among the three people: Su Cheng, Harry and Hall. Captain!"

As soon as Ge Zewen finished speaking, Jacob, who was sitting next to Ge Zewen, immediately said:

"Your Majesty, before the voting officially starts, I have something else to say to everyone here. Is that okay?"

As Jacob finished speaking, many people, including Ge Zewen, looked at Jacob with a slight frown.

Everyone knows that Jacob should be planning to struggle again at this time, and try to win over a few more people to support Su Cheng, whom Jacob recommended, before the voting officially begins.

After Gozewen was silent for a while, he nodded and said solemnly: "Okay... I will make an exception and allow Jacob to say a few more words before the official vote, but - you can't say it for too long. Our time is precious and we have much to discuss beyond the election of a new Grand Master of the Order of Michael.”

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

The reason why Gozewen agreed to Jacob's somewhat rude request was purely because Gozewen saw the friendship between him and Jacob, and because Gozewen felt that in such a short period of time, , Jacob couldn't win over a few more people to support him, so he just let it go.

After getting Gozevin's permission to speak, Jacob cleared his throat and said loudly:

"I believe that everyone here should know the great ancestor of our Britannia people - the 'King of Knights' Arthur Pendragon, right?"

Almost all the participants looked at Jacob with frowns.

None of them knew why Jacob suddenly asked such a ridiculous question.

Who is a citizen of the Britannia Empire who doesn’t know who Arthur Pendragon is?

"Thousands of years ago." Jacob's story continued, "We Britannias were invaded and humiliated by other foreign races..."

"At that time, we Britannias were facing the crisis of genocide..."

"At such a critical moment,

A great king appeared. "

"She is the pride of our Britannia people - the 'Knight King' Arthur Pendragon."

"This little girl was only 16 years old when she first came to the throne."

"When the 'Knight King' first came to the throne, she was despised by her subjects because she was too young. They thought that such a little girl could not save them or lead them out of such a critical situation."

"However, it was in such an environment where she was despised and doubted by her subjects that the 'Knight King' showed her genius commanding ability and political skills, and her unique creative thinking, establishing and improving Multiple systems.”

"Among the many systems that the 'Knight King' has established, the most famous one is the establishment of the Knights of the Round Table system, which selects 12 outstanding commanders to serve as Knights of the Round Table. The 12 Knights of the Round Table directly obey the orders of the 'King of Knights'."

"The 'King of Knights' successfully relied on the 12 Knights of the Round Table under her command, as well as other loyal ministers and good generals, to successfully resist all foreign invasions and successfully rescue us Britannians from such a critical situation."

"To show commemoration and respect for this great ancestor. After the first emperor established the Britannia Empire nearly 300 years ago, he changed the name of the imperial capital to 'Pendragon'."

"And based on the Knights of the Round Table system of the 'King of Knights', the current knight system was established."

"At the same time, because the 'King of Knights' usually holds meetings with her 12 Knights of the Round Table to discuss military affairs, they do so at a large round table. Our first emperor established our current round table conference system based on this."

"The reason why I want to tell you the story of 'The King of Knights' is to tell you: age is just a series of numbers, and the connection between age and ability is not linked."

"Many people always habitually mean that older people have more experience and ability than younger people."

"I always thought this idea was absolutely ridiculous!"

"When the 'Knight King' ascended the throne, wasn't he just a 16-year-old girl? Wasn't he still leading our ancestors to rescue them from such a critical situation?"

"It is a very undesirable behavior to look down on others because they are young. Young people can still achieve immortal achievements, just like the 'King of Knights' thousands of years ago."

"I hope that those who despise Su Cheng because of his age can put aside their prejudice against Su Cheng's age."

"I'm done."

After saying that, Jacob saluted everyone, then turned around and said to Gozewen:

"Your Majesty, the voting can begin."
