londinian.
This abandoned city for 2,000 years has been renovated over the past two years. Although some broken walls can still be seen, the alternation of old and new city walls and buildings still gives this weathered city a new look.
Ritsuka Fujimaru was a little nervous as he thought about the upcoming battle.
He originally came to Lontinium to find a chance to talk to Kirshtalia who was accompanying the army to the war, but he didn't expect to see Mashu after arriving in Lontinium.
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately gave up the idea of hiding nearby and observing, and went straight into the city of Londinium.
It turns out that Mashu also lost her memory because of the Nameless Forest. She was separated from the crowd in the white mist and met a kind fairy and a white wolf. Later, she met a cute fairy named Habertlot during her journey.
At that time, Londinium was recruiting fairies and humans who were trying to rebel against the queen. A fairy mistakenly thought that Mashu was the son of prophecy, the savior in the prophecy would save the fairy kingdom, so the fairy brought Mashu to Londinium.
Now that the separated Lord and Servant have finally met, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu are both very happy.
Then, Marsh nervously told Fujimaru Ritsuka that she had made new friends and had something she wanted to protect: she wanted to help Percival protect the city.
"Then let's help too. Even though we have to negotiate with Kirshtalia, we need some bargaining chips."
Little Da Vinci smiled at the somewhat embarrassed Fujimaru Ritsuka and took the initiative to say, "If the rebels win under the attack of the Queen's Army, we will also have a force to help, and we can take the initiative in the negotiations with Kirshtalia!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was overjoyed: "Great!"
Marsh was deeply moved, and Percival was also happy to hear that Marsh's partner had come to visit.
"Thank you very much for your help!"
Percival was a tall man wearing armor and holding a silver spear. He had a bright smile, steady and calm movements, and looked extremely reliable.
He was the previous winner of the Camelot Tournament and had a good relationship with Artoria Custer.
Artoria followed Percival and complained, "Although I've heard that the situation in Londinium is complicated, isn't it too loose?"
"The Round Table Army you lead and Bogard's Clan of the Tooth are almost incompatible!"
Percival smiled bitterly: "The Fang Clan is much stronger than humans. It's normal for them to look down on us."
Fujimaru Ritsuka took the initiative to ask: "What is the current strategy? What can we do?"
Percival cheered up and said, "We will defend the city, and Bogard will lead the Fang Clan to attack Woodworth's army from the rear, and try to defeat the enemy from both sides."
Although Artoria had no experience in large-scale military operations, both King Uther and Merlin had led armies in battle, and she had also done similar siege lessons on a daily basis.
The girl recalled the geographical situation around Londinium and said, "It seems feasible, but if the enemy is prepared and deploys troops on the flanks in advance, if we are not careful, the so-called front and rear attacks will become a trap, and we will be easily killed by the enemy!"
Percival was a little surprised, then said admiringly: "You are worthy of being the son of prophecy, so I want to ask, do you have any means of long-distance communication? If you can contact each other, can you send someone to Bogd's troops to facilitate the cooperation between the two forces?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought of Oberon: "Can Oberon fly very fast?"
"No, he went back to the Autumn Forest overnight." A trace of worry appeared between Artoria's eyebrows. "The queen not only sent troops to attack Londinium, but also sent people to the Autumn Forest."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression suddenly changed: "Then the Aki no Mori..."
Artoria shook her head and was about to say something when suddenly pink petals fell.
"It's okay, it's over there."
Merlin's voice rang out, and he appeared on the city wall like a phantom of water waves: "Ah, long time no see, Ritsuka, welcome to the fairy kingdom~"
Fujimaru Ritsuka said happily: "Merlin! Are you okay? I heard that you were locked up by the Queen!"
"With the help of a reliable friend, I have escaped." Merlin said cheerfully, "I already know the general situation. Do you need long-distance intelligence communication? Leave it to me. My illusion can do that."
Percival immediately decided: "That's it!"
Although he didn't know Merlin, since Artoria and Marsh were both familiar with Merlin, Percival adhered to the principle of not employing people he doubted and excitedly went to Bogard to discuss the follow-up plan.
Artoria looked at Merlin who was surrounded by Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, young Da Vinci and others, and was hesitant to speak.
She stood outside the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and then strolled to the deserted shadow of the city wall.
From her high vantage point, she could easily see a fairy girl in the city chasing Percival and saying something.
That was the fairy girl Gareth who came to Londinium with him because she admired the heroic figure of the Child of Prophecy. Seeing the enthusiastic smile on the girl's face, Artoria felt better.
At this moment, Merlin's voice rang out beside him.
"So there you are, Custer."
Artoria looked back and said, "Of course I'm not as popular as you." After a pause, she asked curiously, "Did you know Ritsuka before?"
"Well, we have fought together in many places."
Merlin lightly skipped over many stories and said to Artoria, "The Autumn Forest is finished."
Artoria was stunned, with sadness and grief on her face.
Is that fairy tale forest of pure beauty destroyed just like that?
"It was completely burned. I was planning to delay it for a while, but I didn't expect the Beast's Disaster to appear. In the end..."
Merlin shook his head. "Oberon has avenged those goblins. Goel is handling the aftermath in the Autumn Forest. If you're interested, you can go back and take a look. Of course, we all hope that you will continue your pilgrimage."
After a pause, Merlin raised his eyes, and the figure of the blonde girl was reflected in his eyes that were so transparent that they seemed to be free of emotion.
"It's just that all the choices are up to you, and we are just bystanders."
Artoria Custer was silent for a long time before she said, "If I can defeat Woodworth here, I can go to Oxford and ring the bells. After ringing the bells in Oxford, I can go east and ring the bells in Norwich, and then turn north to Orkney to ring the bells of the Rain Clan. In this way, all five bells will be rung."
She looked at Merlin. "Can you help me find the Mirror Clan's bell?"
Merlin smiled and nodded: "No problem."
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the afternoon, Woodworth's troops arrived outside Londinium. The massive army looked very imposing.
Fujimaru Ritsuka and others looked from afar on the city wall and found Woodworth and the court magician Kirshtalia at the core of the army.
Little Da Vinci took a deep breath and said, "I'll go first!"
Percival: Please.
Little Da Vinci made a magic prop and disguised herself as Bogard. She put one foot on the wall and started to talk nonsense with Woodworth in the front line.
After all, given Lion-Head Bogd's temperament and his deep hatred for Woodworth, he would inevitably be unable to restrain himself and quarrel with Woodworth.
After the two Fang clans' strong men had finished threatening each other, the battle began.
The Fang Clan marched forward to attack the city, and the guards on the city walls were all on high alert. After a hail of arrows and bombardment of siege equipment, the two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, with the sounds of fierce fighting and wailing continuing.
On the other hand, Oberon maintained a very good mood and flew all the way to Londinium.
It was dusk when he saw the walls of Londinium and the fierce battle in the distance.
Under the reflection of the magnificent sunset, although there are stars rising, their starlight seems dim under the brilliance of the sun.
"…The shape of a star. The shape of the universe. The shape of God. My shape."
But under Kirshtalia's celestial magic, the starry sky sparkled, shining with the sun and the moon.
"The celestial body is the void. The void is the void."
The blond young man in a white cape raised one hand high, pointing his staff toward the sky. The stars in the sky responded to his call and turned into falling stars.
"The void is preserved by God——!"
Countless stars fell from the sky and rushed towards the open space in front of Londinium.
Oberon subconsciously stopped flying. Is this the power of Fujimaru Ritsuka's predecessor? Wow! Isn't it amazing?
In comparison, the foreign magician Fujimaru Ritsuka is so lame!
Just as the defenders of Londinium were about to suffer heavy losses, a girl in an exoskeleton dress suddenly picked up a black cannon with an astonishing range and pointed the muzzle at the falling star.
A brilliant light shone from the huge muzzle, and then a red beam of light rushed into the sky, colliding violently with the stars that kept falling from the sky!
Boom——
The sky was constantly being torn apart, the earth was shaking violently, and cracks appeared. The scene that seemed like the end of the world stunned the soldiers of the Queen's Army and the guards of Londinium.
Woodworth looked at the scene in astonishment. He looked at Kirshtalia with a little more recognition in his eyes. He muttered: "Well, although humans are weak, you are still a court magician with some skills."
Then Grand Duke Woodworth shouted, "What are you still doing? Attack now!"
After Kirshtalia launched celestial magic, the originally stable Round Table army formation began to slightly disintegrate. Even though Mashu could counterattack, the number of falling stars was much greater than Mashu's artillery attack.
Soldiers charged continuously on this battlefield where rubble fell and the ground shook, and the fighting was fierce on both sides.
Kirshtalia smiled at Mashu who was watching him warily from a distance, pretended to have run out of magic power, retreated to the army, and said to Woodworth: "I need to rest for a while, and then it's up to you."
Woodworth said arrogantly: "The Fang Clan is born for fighting, leave it to us!"
Kirshtalia made a gesture of invitation and said to Kenis beside him, "Don't worry about me. Go and have some fun with the people of Chaldea."
Kenis's gaze passed through the battlefield and fell on the Chaldean lord Fujimaru Ritsuka in the distance. She smiled with high fighting spirit and said, "Then I'll go over there."
Just as Kennis was about to break into the city wall, a bright sword light suddenly pierced over.
Kenis landed on the city wall lightly, and the sword light followed closely behind him without giving way at all.
Kennis dodged the opponent's attack. She concentrated her mind, seized a gap in the opponent's attack, and suddenly launched a counterattack. Only then did she have a chance to look at her opponent.
Then she laughed: "Oh? Isn't this the Sengoku Muramasa who killed Atlas?"
In the Atlantic Novel Belt, it was the Thousand Sons Muramasa who killed the giant god Atlas hidden in the Fantasy Tree, thwarting Kirshtalia's plan to seize the Fantasy Tree.
Chiko Muramasa did not comment: "I am only fulfilling the contract with the alien god."
Kenis sneered: "Then why are you following the Lord of Chaldea everywhere now?"
"Who ran after him?" Chiko Muramasa said seriously, "I was bought by the Savior and am currently his servant."
"She wanted to protect this city, and I was just fulfilling her request."
The two servants were engaged in a fierce battle, and the surrounding soldiers quickly retreated, leaving a large battle area vacant.
On the city wall, Artoria withdrew her gaze and focused on using protective and auxiliary magic to help the human soldiers guard the city wall.
No matter how much human soldiers are trained, they cannot compare to the tougher skin and stronger flesh of the soldiers of the Fang Clan. If it weren't for Artoria's assistance, these human soldiers would have died long ago.
"We stopped the first wave of attacks!"
Tristan stood guard beside Fujimaru Ritsuka, observing the battle situation at a rapid speed, "Next we need to look for an opportunity to counterattack."
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately said: "Let Mashu and Percival join forces and attack Woodworth directly!"
Little Da Vinci was a little surprised: "Don't worry about Kirshtalia?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka: "No, no matter what he plans, he is still a human being. He will be happy to see the fairies fighting among themselves."
The boy's eyes were firm, as if he could see through the fighting on the battlefield and directly saw the senior from Group A opposite him.
"Woodworth is the patriarch of the Fang Clan. If anything goes wrong with him, the morale of the goblin soldiers will be severely damaged."
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought hard about the situation. "Mashu can provide the best protection. Percival has the Spear of Choice in his hand. It was once the weapon of the Savior. It should be able to cause heavy damage to Woodworth!"
"As long as we can find an opportunity to attack..."
Tristan looked quietly at the young Lord Zu beside him, and said with a smile: "Let me go, my piano music can trap the Grand Duke of Paire. Little Da Vinci, Lord Zu's safety is in your hands."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Please, Tristan!"
The cold sound of the piano suddenly rang out on the battlefield, and the invisible strings entangled Grand Duke Woodworth's limbs.
Woodworth roared disdainfully, and the huge and ferocious demon dog swung its limbs at will, easily breaking Tristan's strings.
But then the bow in Tristan's hand turned into the purest thread, and countless golden particles attached to these threads, tightly entwining Woodworth.
“Tristan!!”
Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but throw himself towards the edge of the city wall.
Little Da Vinci grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka and said, "Calm down, Ritsuka!"
Percival, who also saw this scene, took a deep breath, and the Spear of Selection in his hand emitted a dazzling light.
——The Holy Spear that once belonged to the Savior, I want to protect important people and important cities. Even if the enemy is my former adoptive father, please forgive my sins and give me the strength to fight!
Holy Lance, the court is in session!
A white light appeared at the tip of the gun, and the light became brighter and brighter, covering the entire field of vision in an instant.
Woodworth looked at the incoming attack in horror. His body was firmly bound by invisible strings and he had no way to dodge!
"No--!!"
The selected spear pierced deeply into Woodworth's body. The huge demon dog howled in pain, and then he shook his body violently. The violent force almost instantly sucked out the air around him.
Seeing that Percival was about to be beaten to death by the giant dog's claws, Mash raised his shield and rushed forward.
"Don't even think about hurting Senior Percival!"
An invisible barrier opened up, and Mashu stepped forward, protecting Percival behind him.
Seeing this, Percival immediately prepared to stab a second time.
But at this moment, the sun suddenly fell below the horizon, and thick clouds gathered in the night sky. The terrifying magic power suddenly gathered and then fell straight down! It rushed directly towards Percival's position.
Mashu subconsciously raised the shield in his hand and stood in front.
Boom——
The torrent of magic power pouring down from the sky drowned the girl holding the round shield!
This is Her Majesty the Queen's Water Mirror Technique!
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were about to burst: "Mashu——!!"
The next second, the magic torrent disappeared, and Marsh also disappeared. Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind went blank for a moment, and then Merlin's voice rang in Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears: "Bogard's army has cleared the surrounding miscellaneous soldiers and will soon merge with the Round Table Army. We can counterattack."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's body swayed a bit, and he showed determination on his face: "Little Da Vinci, notify Percival to start the counterattack!"
The excited and high-spirited shouts of the soldiers echoed in his ears. The victory or defeat was decided. Fujimaru Ritsuka staggered back the moment he relaxed and leaned against the city wall. He looked at the soldiers fighting around him in a daze, his heart seemed to be tightly held by something.
What should Mashu do when he is attacked by Her Majesty the Queen's mirror magic and is missing?
"It's okay." The lovely fairy girl Habertlot appeared out of nowhere and gestured at the spinning wheel in her hand. "I put away the cannon barrel she left behind. Don't worry, the queen's mirror magic only shifted the target to another place. Mashu just went to where she should go. We will see her again."
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately perked up: "Really?"
Habertlot smiled brightly: "Of course, I promised Mashu that I would make a wedding dress for her!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little relieved.
Soon the battle came to an end.
Woodworth was severely injured by Percival. Bogard saw this and went up excitedly to pick up the leak, but was counter-injured by the ferocious Woodworth. Percival was in poor physical condition after using the Holy Lance, and with Kirshtalia's restraint, Woodworth finally managed to escape from the battlefield.
The defense of Londinium was an unprecedented victory. The Round Table captured many members of the Many-Tooth Clan and became famous.
Percival was immediately caught up in a busy schedule. He needed to deal with the issue of relief, accept new members, and discuss the follow-up of the battle with Bogard...
As for Fujimaru Ritsuka, he received an invitation for a meeting from Kennis during the break in the battle.
"It's Senior Kirshtalia. It looks like he wants to talk to us too."
Little Da Vinci was full of energy: "This is a good thing. It seems that he has also obtained a lot of intelligence from the Queen. We can just share what we have."
Artoria was invited to a meeting of the Londinium resistance.
After discussing with Percival, Bogard prepared to contact the northern fairy queen Nokrena in the north, and she would lead the army south. Londinium made corrections and led the army north. Finally, they gathered in Camelot to fight Queen Morgan.
Percival looked at Artoria and said, "You mentioned before that you wanted to go to Orkney in the north, so can you act as an envoy and help contact Knockrena?"
Artoria hadn't seen Nokrena for a long time. She really wanted to meet this special friend when she went to the north, so she said readily, "Sure, but I have to go to Oxford and Norwich first."
Bogd chuckled: "I'll go with you. I want to go back and take back the throne of the clan leader!"
Elsewhere, Oberon was tracking Woodworth in the sky.
After the fight was almost over, Oberon kept staring at Woodworth.
Woodworth was Morgan's most loyal follower. It was this big dog who killed the King of Morgans. To be exact, Oberon was killed by Woodworth.
At this moment, Oberon saw the seriously injured Woodworth rushing towards Oxford. His eyes turned and a vicious plan came to his mind.
Woodworth seemed to like Aurora, right? And Aurora should be happy to manipulate this stupid dog. Salisbury happened to be just west of Oxford. If Aurora set off now, she could stop Woodworth before he arrived in Oxford.
“It’s almost over.”
Oberon sat on Blanca, overlooking the fairy kingdom below and Woodworth who was staggering, and a strong sense of fatigue and relief rose in his heart.
"I wish I had really been slacking off for 14,000 years. I'm really exhausted."
Meanwhile, in Camelot Palace, Morgan stood on the terrace. She looked far to the north toward Orkney and murmured, "Is this fate?"
She originally wanted to use the mirror technique to remove the Spear of Selection from Percival's hand, but accidentally involved Mash.
After Mashu left, Morgan vaguely remembered something, but seemed to have forgotten everything.
"The savior, Jian, has died. Now I am the queen of the fairy kingdom."
She said this, confirming her own existence.
Thinking of this, her eyes became sharp.
Woodworth was injured by the Chosen One and needed urgent medical treatment. The closest to Lentinion should be Spriggan of the Earth Clan and Aurora of Salisbury.
Morgan immediately sent someone to send a letter to Spriggan and Aurora, asking them to rescue him. At the same time, Morgan sent a group of troops to support Woodworth.
Spriggan laughed and said it was no problem. He immediately ordered his men to plunder the unprotected city of Oxford. Aurora sent Oberon away with a bright smile and said softly, "I will obey the Queen's orders."
"But I have to comfort Chief Woodworth. Not only did he fail to complete Her Majesty the Queen's order, but his own people also turned into the Beast's Calamity. Her Majesty the Queen must be very angry. It is normal for her to be angry at Woodworth, right?"
Aurora was thinking about how to turn Woodworth into her own sharp blade, but then she thought of the fairy that was transformed from the corpse she had pulled out of the lake.
Fairy Knight Lancelot, whose real name is Melusina, is a beautiful fairy who can fly freely in the sky and is handsome and powerful.
"I wonder if Melusina has solved the disaster. If she has, then..."
Then there would be no need for a queen to exist to fight against disasters.
