King Arthur: Defending the Coast against the Fierce Viking Raiders
Added:the holy shield. No mark. Shiny as a parlor trick and still didn't cut a thing.
>> You hear that? Even Stone can't be bothered to remember his strike. We don't need a blade like that in our trials.
>> Throw him out. Back to the pits.
Strike his name from the list.
>> Wait, Sir Lamarot, you saw it, too. That strike was not nothing.
>> No, Mark is a fact. On the trial record, he's the weakest.
>> Then give him a real trial. [laughter] >> Strick his name. Trash doesn't [music] belong here.
>> Yes, my lord.
>> Wait.
So Lancelot, I swear he isn't weak. The final trial is a live duel, right? Let him fight once. Just once.
>> Have you lost your mind? Are you really going to humiliate our house for a slave?
>> I gave him two chances, far beyond what's [music] fair.
Give it up.
>> That's enough, Le. Stop.
My lords are right. I'm still a long way from being a true knight.
>> I'll keep [music] training. Next trial, I'll stand here with no one doubting me.
I should leave.
He didn't leave no mark. He obliterated the core to dust.
>> Arthur, >> are you really going to tell me you're left no mark on that shield?
>> I tried my best, Sir Lancelot. Sorry to let you down. I truly still have much to learn.
>> Flawless act. Even the most ferocious beast of the north couldn't shatter that court of microscopic dust. What kind of monster are you?
>> I will grant you one last chance. The third trial. Step [music] back onto the field and prove whether you deserve to stay. Sir Lancelot, this is unfair. Why does a trash who can't even scratch stone get a third chance?
>> Since you insist on this, Ferris, Sir Lancelot, I have a request.
Let me take your place.
I will test the ball myself.
>> Lord Grant, you want to take the field?
>> Do not worry, Sir Lancelot.
I will not go easy on him.
>> The third trial now begins. The assessor, Lord Grant.
>> My father himself, he is the strongest knight. [music] Even Sanselot might not match him.
>> Uncle Grant wants to duel me. He's the strongest. Even if I only parry one of his attacks, I [music] will have to use all my strength. I will take you on myself today. Last one strike against me and you pass. Who's first?
>> Lord Grant, where are your horse and weapons? I won't need those to take you trash out.
[screaming] >> You failed.
Next.
That wasn't even 1% of his true power.
>> No one can beat him.
>> He is a monster.
[music] >> A monster. His footwork is too heavy.
[cheering] >> A bunch of useless trash. Gareth, step up. Show these filthy peasants [music] the power of true noble blood.
>> Watch closely, peasants.
Golden swords.
>> God, that is a siege tier spell. He could level a fortress with that.
>> Wasted mana. All flash, no bite.
his [music] control over magic became increasingly proficient.
>> No wonder you are the strongest in the realm.
I can't even take one hit from you. You made me use my magic. You pass.
Now it's your turn, Arthur.
>> Arthur, give up. You saw it. He broke elite tier magic with his bare hands.
You can't survive a single hit.
>> Honestly, I used to think he was really strong.
But after watching you to beat you, >> I probably only need 70%.
What did you say? You filthy bastard.
>> Sorry, I'm bad with words. Don't be mad.
>> How dare you mock me.
This isn't a trial anymore. It's a death match.
>> No. No. Arthur just wants to be a knight. He is no criminal. There is no need for a death match. Uncle, please.
You watched him grow up. Are you really going to kill him?
>> Shut up, Lyanna. He and his blood are [music] a dirty stain. They ruined our noble family. As long as I live, [music] a trench rat will never climb up.
I accept your duel.
>> Arthur, no.
[music] >> If I back down now, I will forever be a slave under their boots.
>> Sir, Lancelord, please stop this. Arthur just wants to prove himself. Please spare his life.
>> If he really is the monster who killed the dragon, an attack like this won't kill him at all.
Show me your [music] true hand.
Sorry. Lord Grant is the assessor of this trial.
>> You must come back alive.
>> I will. I swear. [music] It's shaking. [music] >> That piece of scrap. Why does it have an error that makes me want to [music] leave your worship?
>> Let me see if you're just [music] a lucky guy.
>> Jewel begin.
manifested error. He actually touched the edge. Kid, I'll give you a chance.
[music] If you kneel down and beg for mercy now and never set foot on my territory again, I'll let you go.
[music] So this is what you really want.
Have you thought it through, kid?
>> No. Arthur, what are you doing?
>> Funny. You're courting death.
>> Die, you arrogant peasant.
>> [music] >> Why didn't he hide?
[crying and laughter] >> Damn blind slave. This is your fate.
[music] Get out my way.
>> [music] >> This impossible. Who the hell are you?
