Chapter 1133 Altria's Decision
What happened next basically had nothing to do with Lige.
Whether it is the process of concluding an alliance or the discussions on starting a war, these are not things that Lige needs to worry about.
Just like when he was in the Loki clan, although Liger participated in the combat meetings between the leaders and cadres, the ones who actually decided the content of the operations were Finn, Livilia, Grace and others, not him.
Therefore, now that Noknalei has decided to form a cooperative alliance with the Round Table, there is no need for Lige to get involved in the subsequent matters.
He just needs to wait for the discussion to be over and for someone to tell him when the war will start. That will be enough.
These are naturally matters that Leonardo da Vinci, Mashu, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Noknare and others should discuss.
The Round Table has given them the decision-making power in this regard, so they just need to discuss a result with Noknare and then bring it back to Londinien.
So, Lige quietly left the cathedral and did not participate in the subsequent discussions.
To his surprise, someone who also left the cathedral was Altria.
"Why did you come out?"
Looking at Altria who followed him out, Lige spoke in surprise.
"…I'm not good at that kind of thing."
Altria sighed and gave her reasons.
"You mean the battle plan?" Li Ge nodded and said seriously, "Indeed, you can't do that."
"…Although it is true, I feel looked down upon when you say that."
Altria really wanted to hit Liger on the head with the Rod of Choice, but even she could imagine that doing so would be a thankless task.
After decisively giving up this thankless task, Altria sighed silently again.
"Noknalei has agreed to form an alliance. It looks like the war is really about to begin."
Altria murmured as she gazed at the dusk over Britain.
"This is also the last war in Britain." Liger said expressionlessly, "After this, there will be no more killings and wars in Britain."
After all, Britain was destroyed when this war ended.
"Don't you feel it's unbearable?" Liger suddenly said, as if testing Altria, "If you feel it's hard to do it, you don't have to participate."
These words sounded like a test, but Artoria, who possessed the [Fairy Eyes], could tell that Lige was saying this seriously.
In other words, he really felt that if he couldn't bear it, he didn't have to participate in this war.
"I am the son of prophecy." Artoria said as if to convince herself, "How can you win without me?"
This is not an exaggeration.
Altria, who has rung five pilgrimage bells, has not made much progress in her magic ability. She can still only do some explosions and set traps like before. She is not a great magician like Morgan in essence, but because of the explosive growth of her own magic power, once she uses all her strength to cast the enchantment, it is entirely possible to transform the strength of an entire army.
Her enchantment is a trump card that the Round Table cannot lose. With this trump card, the weak humans of the Round Table can compete with powerful fairies such as the Fang Clan.
If this enchantment were applied to the already powerful King's Clan, it would be even stronger, enough to overturn the combat power gap between the Queen's Army and the allied forces of the Round Table and the King's Clan.
In addition, the Son of Prophecy has the legitimacy to seize the throne, and only with Altria present will the combat power and morale of his side be greatly increased.
Once we lose her, our chances of winning will at least drop by half.
Of course, this refers to the situation where Lige does not intervene.
"Although I can't deal with Morgan, I can still deal with others." Li Ge said lightly: "As long as you want, I have plenty of ways to make up for the impact caused by your leaving the front line."
That's it.
Lack of combat power?
Although Liger cannot enchant magic, he has many ways to amplify and strengthen his own power, which can completely replace Altria's enchantment.
Lack of troops?
Although Liger does not know the Chaldean summoning technique of heroic spirits, his own summoning technique is not bad either, and he can replenish sufficient troops for the alliance army in minutes.
As for lack of morale?
This is nothing.
Even if Lige had no way to boost the morale of the allied forces, with Noknare and Percival around, he believed that these two people would not be so incompetent as to cause their own side to lose morale.
One is the Fairy Queen who rules the North, and the other is the counterpart of the perfect knight in the legend of King Arthur. The two of them have long been supporting the survival of the King's Clan and the Round Table Army on their own. There is no need to doubt their abilities in this regard.
Therefore, Lige really felt that if Artoria didn't want to, then forget it.
She doesn't have to take part in this battle.
"Like I said before, you have the right to decide what you want to do."
Liger turned around, looked at Altria, and said it quite seriously.
"Morgan can give up his mission as a fairy in paradise for his own wish, so why can't you?"
"The original six goblins delayed their mission just for fun, and ended up being arrogant and domineering in the end, didn't they?"
"Even if you are a fairy from paradise, born with a mission, you have the right to choose whether or not to do it."
"This is your last chance, don't just go with the flow, silly girl."
Yes.
Before this, Altria had just been going with the flow.
She had no intention of fulfilling the so-called mission, nor did she want to become the true king as predicted. She also had no reason to go on this pilgrimage. However, she did not know what to do, and whether this was a good idea or not. If she lost her mission, what would be the meaning of her existence? As a result, she just went with the flow and abandoned herself until now.
When she traveled with him at the beginning, Artoria went on the pilgrimage with a carefree attitude. Even now, her heart is still full of confusion. If it weren't for Lige's disappearance in Norwich, which made her want to grow up, want to gain more strength, and try her best to find Lige, then it would be absolutely unknown whether she would take the initiative to ring the pilgrimage bells in Oxford, Gloucester and Orkney in the future.
Li Ge never forced her to make a choice. No matter what path she chose in the end, he would not object.
Even if she decided to save Britain and the fairies like Morgan did, instead of destroying it and eliminating it, Liger would not object, but would no longer assist her.
Now, the countdown to British and pan-human history has begun.
If Altria continued to go with the flow and reached the end in confusion, she would never have the chance to decide what she really wanted to do.
In that case, when everything is settled, this fairy girl who has never lived the life she wanted will completely lose the meaning of her life.
This is not what Li Ge wants to see.
That's why he said this.
"As long as you really don't want to and really decide to do this, I believe everyone will understand."
Lige originally thought that when he said this, Artoria would not know how to respond, and would struggle, hesitate, be confused, and remain silent as usual.
But what surprised him was that Altria actually turned around and looked at him straight. There was no confusion in her eyes as usual, but instead she was full of determination.
"No way."
Altria threw out such a sentence.
"what?"
Li Ge didn't react for a moment.
"Not everyone will understand." Altria said with certainty: "If I do this, not to mention whether everyone at the round table will be disappointed, Noknalei will definitely rush to me and scold me."
"She'll think I'm trying to escape."
"She'll think I'm chickening out."
"She will always think that I am still the same useless country girl, even if I walk out of Tintagel and ring the five pilgrimage bells, I will still be the same as I was five years ago, without any change."
At this time, the person that Altria was talking about was actually the first friend she met in her life.
"You're right. I really don't know whether I should fulfill the mission of the Paradise Fairy."
"If I continue like this, even if I reach the end, I won't know what I really want to do, right?"
"But... there is one thing I want to do."
Liger raised his eyebrows at Altria's words.
"what's up?"
He seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of the cathedral.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Altria was also looking towards the cathedral at the same time.
"I want to help Noknalei, or rather, the Fairy of the North."
This was the first time that Altria spoke these words in a firm tone.
"I'm not a great person. I'm just a country girl who has always lived in the countryside. So I can't say as categorically as you do that the fairies in Britain are guilty and that the Fairy Kingdom is not worth saving at all."
"But now I am sure that no matter what happens to Britain or the fairies, it has nothing to do with the fairies of the North where Noknarei is."
"They are innocent and should not be implicated in whatever the future of Britain holds."
"So, I want to help them, so that they can leave this Britain and live the life they were meant to live."
This was the result of Altria's thinking all night after learning everything and hearing the conversation between Lige and Noknale.
What is my mission? What will the future of Britain be? These are things I can't figure out for the time being, so I won't think about them.
After putting all these things aside, the only will left in Altria's heart was to at least help Noknarei and the fairies of the North first, so that they, who were already innocent, could stay away from the curse of Britain.
"I also want to help Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, and Da Vinci-kun, so that their pan-human history can be saved."
This is not only because everyone in Chaldea is also her friend, but also because pan-human history is different from the fairy kingdom of Britain and is not a hopeless world.
In that world, there are no sinful goblins, no humans who are treated as slaves and exploited, and no blood and killing everywhere. Although there are disputes and unrest, at least there is a future and visible peace.
If such a world is destroyed, then what hope is there in this world?
At least... we have to let that kind of world continue to exist, so that there will still be hope in the world.
The happiness and peace that cannot be seen in the fairy country Britain can only be realized in such a world.
With this idea in mind, and with a mentality that is close to wanting to maintain a beautiful fantasy, Artoria sincerely wants to help pan-human history so that it will not collapse.
This thought prompted Altria to make a decision.
"Let's not talk about the mission for now. Let's defeat Morgan first and preserve pan-human history."
At the very least, Noknare and everyone in Chaldea should have a place to return to, right?
As for the fate of Britain and the goblins...
"Like Noknalei, I will witness it with my own eyes until the end and then make a decision."
Altria held the Staff of Selection and uttered a voice of her own.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into an indescribable silence.
Lige just stared at Altria for a long time without saying a word.
"...You're still as troublesome as ever."
After a long moment, Ligla shrugged his shoulders and said this, not sure whether he was expressing admiration or astonishment.
no way.
"In the end, even if you see a world full of storms of malice, you are still a pushover."
Li Ge turned around and walked outside.
"where are you going?"
Just as Altria was about to make a rebuttal, she saw Lige suddenly walking out. She was stunned for a moment, then she chased after him while asking.
Then, Li Ge gave her an answer that she didn't expect.
"To the Lake District."
"Lake District?"
Altria was stunned again.
Instinctively, she guessed which lake area Li Ge was referring to.
That does not refer to the whole of northern Britain, but to the remains of a clan that lived in the Lake District.
"You're going to the Mirror Clan?"
Altria blurted out.
"why?"
Altria had mixed feelings about this destroyed clan.
After all, the Mirror Clan not only made the prophecy that made her the culprit of the Child of Prophecy, but also picked her up in the first place and chose to release her back into the sea when the clan was facing annihilation, allowing her to drift to Tintagel's clan.
Strictly speaking, it was not Tintagel but the Mirror Clan who first picked up Altria.
Just like the Rain Clan that originally picked up Morgan, if the Mirror Clan had not been destroyed, she would most likely have been raised there.
At the same time, there is also the last thing that Altria needs to find.
"Didn't you find the last pilgrimage bell?"
Lige continued to walk forward, leaving these words behind without even turning his head.
"I'll take you to find it."
