Chapter 8. Take on Everything and Become a White Dragon Minion

[Vortigern's words were not as easygoing as they appeared. This was an extremely ruthless method.]

[You realize that if you follow his instructions, the rumors spread by Morgan will become true in a different way, and you will immediately become an enemy of King Uther.]

[Although you have long anticipated a situation like this, you still hesitate when actually facing it.]

[Vortigern notices your hesitation.]

[He communicates with you again.]

"Young man, it seems that your resolve to seek my protection is not as strong as I thought."

Vortigern stands up and turns his back on Ian.

The light and darkness outside cut through the curtains at an angle, as if drawing a path before Ian.

"Go outside, young man. If you do not want to become their enemy, then return to where you belong and accept the punishment you deserve."

Ian knew that what he faced now was not a question of whether or not to go outside.

The question was whether he should temporarily choose to become Vortigern's minion and attack his former fellow knights to fulfill his promise to Morgan.

—Is there really anything left to think about?

The one he had sworn allegiance to was always Morgan.

"White Dragon King, I understand."

"Today, I will endure all of this and begin killing the enemies."

Vortigern smiled.

"A wise choice."

"Ravage Britannia for me. When you have achieved great accomplishments, I will tell you a secret."

[Talent "White Dragon King Minion" acquired: You are now operating on the frontlines. To fulfill Morgan's task, you fight against former Royal Knights. They call you the White Dragon Minion.]

[Talent "Affinity•Evil" has been upgraded to "Affinity•Extreme Evil": You express your intentions through the most extreme violence, only by this can you temporarily forget the pain of attacking your comrades.]

[Talent "Battle Continuation+" has been upgraded to "Battle Continuation++": Morgan has become the only force supporting your soul as you move forward. You can often hear her voice. No matter how much damage you take, as long as you haven't completed her task, you will always stand up again.]

[You are actually a bit cunning.]

[You have never sworn loyalty to Vortigern, nor accepted his rewards.]

[You do not allow yourself to betray Morgan.]

[But no one doubts your loyalty, because even Vortigern's former closest allies were never as brave as you, and they could never resist the Britannia army with such crushing force.]

[You struggle with the pain of killing your former comrades, and can only fall asleep by calling Morgan's name over and over again in your heart during the middle of the night.]

[You begin to experience hallucinations, frequently seeing Morgan standing before you, demanding that you kneel and surrender.]

[One day, Vortigern calls you to the top of a mountain.]

"Well done, young man."

The aging Vortigern stared into the void, his dignified aura unchanged.

"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone as brave as you."

Ian did not respond to Vortigern but simply nodded silently.

He did not acknowledge Vortigern as his king, but was merely following him temporarily for Morgan's plan.

"Young man, you're still the same."

Vortigern picked up his sword and turned to look at Ian.

"Ian, answer me one question: did you really intend to leave me that day?"

Knowing Vortigern was referring to the day he woke up and visited him personally, Ian answered honestly and without hesitation:

"I had no plans to leave."

Ian wasn't lying.

No matter how many times he remembered that moment, he knew deep down he would not have chosen to leave.

The task Morgan had given him was still unfinished, and he had to bear it, no matter the infamy.

"It doesn't matter if you leave."

Vortigern stared directly at Ian.

"Because I've always prepared for both outcomes. I couldn't let you survive that day."

"…"

Ian always felt there was something hidden behind Vortigern's words.

But he couldn't come up with a good answer, so he could only repeat Vortigern's words.

"White Dragon King, this might mean that my fate sometimes creates miracles."

"Is that so? Hahaha," Vortigern laughed loudly, a rare occurrence, "I hope so."

"Young man, you've accomplished great military feats for me. I'll tell you a secret."

[Although Vortigern is called a tyrant, he also possesses the tolerance of a true king.]

[He shared with you the truth about the decline of the Age of Gods, and that Britannia is facing unprecedented turmoil.]

[You realize that what Vortigern is revealing to you may go far beyond your imagination.]

[But you also consider the possibility that something should have existed.]

"Why didn't you say these things to King Uther..."

Ian asked Vortigern the first and last question after hearing what he had shared.

"If Britannia is facing such chaos, we should join forces."

"Huh, do you think he doesn't know?" Vortigern suppressed a smile. "Young man, if he truly had that intention, you and I wouldn't be here now."

"…"

Vortigern was right.

King Uther had no intention of negotiating peace with Vortigern.

The so-called peace could never have been established from the beginning.

There would only ever be one true king of Britannia, no matter when or where.

[Vortigern didn't say anything more to you. His war with King Uther continues.]

[The scope of the war is increasingly widening. Every inch of Britannia seems to echo with the sound of iron claws and swords.]

[You know that much of this is caused by your own hands, but you can't change any of it.]

[Your hallucinations are getting worse. Occasionally, someone might see you talking to yourself in an empty place.]

[But only you know that this is the only way you can see Morgan now.]

[No one cares about these things, because your performance on the battlefield remains heroic, and you never accept Vortigern's rewards, passing them to others without taking a penny.]

[From the White Dragon minion, you gradually become the commander of a certain army under Vortigern's command.]

[Finally, the moment of the decisive battle arrives.]

[You know that you will have to face the true mighty army of Britannia.]

[You will fight against the Britannia knights.]

[The sound of horns blares, the battle is about to begin, and the armies of both sides rush out from both sides like a tide.]

[But you, who have always been courageous, lose your mind at this moment.]

[Because on the other side of the frontlines, you see a familiar figure who should not exist here.]

[Morgan, the princess, has come to the frontlines of the battlefield!]
