As a modern person, I think most people understand just how pathetic a "simp" is and what kind of ending awaits them. Now, look at this loyal dog—doesn't he resemble a simp?
Moreover, leaving his post and coming here without the Queen's consent was indeed his failing. And now, because of his error, the Mors are running rampant, making a new Mors War extremely likely. The thought made this loyal dog want to snap his own neck right then and there and offer his head to the Winter Queen before him. Only in this way could he make amends for his mistake.
No! That wouldn't be making amends; it would merely be a punishment for him. He needed to eliminate all the spreading Mors. Now was not the time to doubt the Queen... Well, he shouldn't have doubted Lord Morgan to begin with. He just needed to do his job well. Even if the Queen before him said nothing, in his heart, his mistakes were piling up.
Damn it, a person like him... he suddenly felt he was unworthy of the Queen!
Regardless, the immediate crisis had to be resolved first. Woodwose made his choice. He would handle all of this, and then plead for punishment from the Queen to redeem his image in her eyes.
However, the current Woodwose ignored one problem. Over the passing centuries, many fairies of the Fang Clan had been replaced. Originally, this wouldn't be an issue, but one must not forget that in the distant past, the fairies had betrayed their God. Under such circumstances, fairies could no longer reincarnate with their souls intact.
Therefore, compared to the Mors War back then, the current warriors of the Fang Clan were likely weaker. Most importantly, ever since the slaughter of the Wing Clan, Woodwose's guilt led him to restrict his clansmen from eating meat, forcibly turning carnivores into vegetarians. Under these circumstances, it would be another point of weakness for the warriors.
Very well, now looking back at the last Mors War, even the previous Clan Head died in battle, so one can imagine the difficulty of the war. Now, after being strengthened by Aslan, the trend of the Mors' outward expansion and infection could not be eased. The prophecy about the Child of Prophecy also made the fairies' hearts increasingly restless, making them more susceptible to influence and infection by the Mors.
The foreshadowing buried for millions of years—be it resentment, pain, or curses—was finally about to erupt completely during this time. It was truly rare that two existences representing destruction existed simultaneously upon this Fairy Britain. To some extent, they also represented Britain's will and its own desires.
At this moment, Fairy Britain's self-destructive emotions could be said to be at their peak state.
At least in Aslan's view, even if this war couldn't exterminate all the fairies, it would definitely leave only a scattered few, or turn this unified Fairy Kingdom into an era of warring states. And the more times fairies died, the less they could reincarnate. At that time, these fairies would be tantamount to walking toward true death.
Aslan was already prepared. Even if he couldn't kill the Morgan of this world, he would try his best to restrict her power. Although his trip hadn't been long, Aslan had more or less seen the fairies' repressed emotions toward that Queen.
After all, this Queen was forcibly suppressing this nation with hardline methods. There must be many who wanted to drag that Queen off the throne and sit there themselves. However, that would be somewhat laughable. Morgan held that position securely by virtue of her powerful strength and her decisiveness after despairing of all fairies.
Did others have the power to suppress everything? Thinking about it carefully, given the fairies' selfish thoughts, if one didn't have the ability to suppress all fairies, the person sitting on the throne would only experience round after round of betrayal. Simultaneously, if they didn't have the ability to suppress the Calamity that occurred once every millennium, this nation would also step closer to destruction.
There were probably few fairies who could operate those cannons created by Morgan. Whether it was the betrayed Horned God or the Abyssal Worm that awakened after the God was suppressed and eliminated again, the only ending for Fairy Britain was destruction.
For these fairies, it was truly a dramatic ending, and the one that suited them best.
Just as Woodwose prepared to return to his clan to gather troops and eliminate the Mors, Aslan was driving a carriage toward the ruins of the Knights' capital city. If calling it Londinium... translated into modern language, or in the normal timeline, it should be called London.
It was amazing; despite having no historical relationship, the city names in Fairy Britain were basically the same as the ancient British city names in the normal timeline.
During this period, the Child of Prophecy, who had suffered a certain shock and fainted, finally woke up. The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Barghest, also known as Fairy Knight Gawain, whose face wore an expression of conflict and sorrow.
The two of them knew each other. After all, Fairy Knight Gawain had once commissioned the Black Knight to forge her armor. Although they couldn't be considered close friends, they had definitely met several times.
"Barghest?"
It was rare for someone to call her by her true name. Barghest was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh. After understanding so much about this Fairy Britain, it was indeed difficult for her to continue protecting the fairies and maintaining the Queen's rule in the name of Fairy Knight Gawain. Leaving aside the actions of those fairies, simply the fact that she was bewitched by an illusion and bore the weight of that innocent boy's fresh blood made her conscience uneasy.
As a knight, and as a noble who had received a proper noble education, Barghest understood what was right and what was wrong. The fairies had already made mistakes in the distant past, and the current her did not want to continue making mistakes.
But she was also the Fairy Barghest. Following her heart and the education she had received, she would protect those weak fairies and the fairies who were not at fault. More or less, she could see that the destruction of this Fairy Britain was likely set in stone. In that case, before the destruction, she would witness it with her own eyes and select those fairies who deserved to survive!
Similarly, Barghest roughly understood why Aslan had thrown this girl in front of her. On one hand, Aslan couldn't be bothered to explain; on the other hand, he hoped that she could counsel this girl.
