Chapter 157 - 157: We Do Not Accept Annihilation
[A decree was issued from Camelot]
[— Great Britain is about to face annihilation; this is the world's judgment on Great Britain]
[The disasters and famines that appear year after year, along with the wars of the past decade, are all due to Britain being rejected by the world, leading to these phenomena; this is an established fact]
[Just like those gradually disappearing fairies and other fantasies, the people of Britain must also vanish with them]
The proclamation from the holy city of Camelot spread throughout Britain.
The magical sound waves expanded by the spell reached the ears of all Britons like the wind.
They felt despair and fear at first.
Because the one speaking about this was not another knight, but the King Arthur they revered and worshipped.
Even this knight king, who symbolizes hope, said so.
No one would think she was lying.
"Ah... Lord... why must you bring such injustice upon Britain... What have we done wrong..."
"Damn it... are we doomed to face annihilation...!?"
"King! Our King Arthur! Even if the world abandons us! Surely, you will not abandon us, right!?"
The lamentations of the people echoed throughout Britain.
Unaware of the truth, they now learned through Artoria's description why Britain faced calamities year after year and why it suffered disasters.
It was as if they were trapped in an abyss of despair.
Only the light of King Arthur remained to hold onto.
[The lamentations of the people reached their ears]
[The Round Table and others in the holy city of Camelot knelt, facing Artoria on the throne, waiting for orders]
[The king will guide the people]
[Although the island of Britain is heading towards annihilation, the Britain they built will not simply vanish]
[The road to the fairyland has been found]
[King Arthur has found a way out]
"I am Arthur Pendragon, the king who leads Britain. The world wants to annihilate Britain; should we just accept this in peace?
Britain is a nation born from blood and fire, having gone through countless wars and battles. We have sacrificed so much for peace, and now we are to calmly accept annihilation? How can that be acceptable? I will not allow it; I will carve out a future for Britain!"
[Artoria's proclamation spread throughout Britain]
[The people trapped in despair raised their heads to gaze at the light of the holy city, and the hearts that had been swallowed by darkness found direction]
[They recalled the guiding light that led them]
[That king who has never betrayed them, who embodies hope and the ideal of salvation, is still striving]
[Hope is still alive]
"King... please guide us...!"
"Britain will not be annihilated... I do not accept annihilation... I implore King Arthur... please lead us once more!"
"We do not accept extinction!"
[The people voiced their heartfelt pleas]
[Sometimes, humanity is such a surprising creature; even if the planet were to perish, they would not willingly die along with it]
[Even things that fantasy beings and gods could not achieve]
[Humans can accomplish through their will to survive]
[This will, stemming from the self, is so powerful that it poses a danger even to the planet]
[In every aspect, it is very dangerous]
[However, it also has its own brilliance]
"Hereby I declare, my subjects of Great Britain, from this day forth, we shall embark on an expedition to that dreamlike fairyland.
This is a one-way journey; those who still cherish their homeland may stay here. If you wish to join me in carving out a future and denying annihilation, then step forth with me, Arthur Pendragon!"
[Artoria's impassioned words invigorated the knights]
[Dispelling the despair in the hearts of the people]
[You watched Artoria beside the throne, unable to suppress the proud smile on your face]
[She truly is a qualified king]
[Even if Artoria never considers herself as such, you still feel she is an exceptionally outstanding ruler]
[Even more so than you]
"Here, I command my Round Table knights. We are to conquer the magical realm that humanity has never set foot in; this expedition will be more difficult than any battle before. My heart is filled with no confusion because I know the future is there. I will seize it with my own hands.
This is an expedition filled with glory, for the people of Britain, and even more so for our future!"
[Artoria declared to the Round Table knights]
[Her appearance was too dazzling and radiant]
[The knights stood in solemn respect, offering their utmost loyalty and love to this king, dispelling the gloom in their hearts]
[The king said the future lies in the Inner Sea of the Planet]

[Then they shall ride forth to it]
[There will be not a shred of hesitation]
[What breaks despair is the hopeful cries of the people]
[They believe in the vision the king spoke of]
[Although they are currently sharing the same beautiful dream with the king, when it truly becomes reality, it will no longer be a dream]
[No human has ever reached that Inner Sea of the Planet]
[Thus, this is also a journey filled with the unknown]
[Britain is the country closest to the Inner Sea of the Planet on the surface; they are quite familiar with fantasies like fairies]
[The concept of the Inner Sea of the Planet has always been passed down as a story]
[Its status is comparable to the heavens in the Bible]
[Therefore, upon hearing that King Arthur's journey is to the Inner Sea of the Planet, the acceptance level among the people is quite high]
[Of course, some treat it as a joke]
[Saying—King Arthur is merely dreaming absurdly; going to the Inner Sea of the Planet is something impossible]
[These people chose to stay in Britain]
[Among them are many lords, nobles, and knights who have no intention of embarking on the journey with King Arthur, planning instead to hold their ground in Britain]
[They do not believe in the world's rejection]
[Nor in the destined annihilation]
"More people than I originally expected actively want to follow us. Clearly, this is such a dangerous expedition..."
Artoria was rarely shaken.
At the top of the castle, where one could overlook all of Camelot, she and Moran admired the beautiful scenery together.
"It is dangerous, but the people are willing to believe in you.
Even if it's just a dream, they are willing to dream alongside you; such trust speaks volumes. Liya, as a ruler, this is enough to show how much they cherish you."
Moran placed his hand on Artoria's fragrant shoulder.
He embraced her, who had always played the role of a ruler, using actions and words to erase the wavering in her heart.
The sweetness that subtly spread.
Made her face reveal a charming smile...
