Davidian's Holy Grail War

Agravure nodded, understanding David's meaning. David then added, "The Venerable Xuanzang has become their companion. She was also the one who stopped me from fighting Chaldea just now. If the Chaldea people come to rescue that poisonous woman, you must be careful. After all, she is someone who has truly become a god or Buddha, you understand."

Agravivan frowned in exasperation. If what David said was true, then it would have been better to deal with Xuanzang from the beginning. Now, he had gone to Chaldea and become a considerable problem.

“Go and make the arrangements. Agraven, just do what you want to do.” Davidian handed the matter over to Agraven, then added, “Oh, and have Lancelot guard the edge of the mountains. It’s time for Chaldea to face this Knight of the Lake. Once you’ve found out the location inside the mountains, I’ll have Tristan and Lancelot work together with you.”

"Yes." Agravan accepted the order and went to make arrangements. After he left, David shook his head slightly. It seems that the others won't fare well this time either. It's true that the Round Table is full of oddballs, and that will never change.

He then looked at Tristan beside him. Because of the plot twist, Tristan's personality was now completely different from before. This was what David felt most sorry about. In fact, Tristan hadn't done much wrong, and the current situation wasn't his fault.

“Then I will return to wander the wilderness. I am saddened that this singularity has become like this, it is truly chaotic.” Tristan stood up, picked up his Philnott, and walked out.

Davidian didn't stop him. If he were to encounter the Chaldeans, he hoped they would grant Tristan a glorious end. To die as a valiant knight for his king—perhaps this was the most fitting fate for Tristan now.

He then said to Gawain, who had been standing silently to the side, "Gawain, go back to the main gate. Although there are no enemies now, defending that area is still your assigned task. You survived the Lion King's attack, so the mistakes you made before are over."

Gawain then said, "Lord David, you haven't told anyone else about Lord Bedivere, not even the Lion King. Indeed, the reason King Arthur became the Lion King lies with Lord Bedivere."

David couldn't help but shake his head after hearing his words. As expected of that woman's eldest son, Gawain had always been very smart, but compared to that woman, Gawain was extremely sentimental, which was why his judgment was affected at the crucial moment.

"It seems I shouldn't have brought you back from the city wall. By the time you returned to this hall, the meeting would be over. But congratulations, Gao Wenqing. You did indeed guess the key to this matter. However, as the lord, I require you to keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?"

At this point, Davidian even went so far as to demand that Gawain keep the matter a secret, as he was a lord, and forbade Gawain to reveal it until the other members of the Round Table had met Bedivere.

Gao Wen could only remain silent, because he now knew just how many reasons were involved in this matter.

David continued, “In this matter, we are all just supporting characters. But we still have the opportunity to pursue our ideals, which is why I don’t make any demands on you, and am even willing to lend you a hand in many ways. However, the final result will not change, do you understand, Gao Wenqing?”

Gawain understood, then he gripped his sword, bowed, and turned to walk outside. Davidian also turned and walked towards the throne, but he only went to the steps and sat down.

Then a hand gently reached out from behind him and placed on his cheek, and Davidian also reached out and placed his hand on the back of that hand. Master and servant enjoyed this brief, gentle moment.

"You really didn't leave. With your current level of skill, it's too easy for you to hide from our senses."

“Of course, I am now the Storm Queen, the goddess who wields the Holy Lance Rungomminiad. Achieving this level is a piece of cake for me. I just didn’t expect you to be hiding something from me this time… Bedivere, who is that?”

Chapter 193 The Lord's Resurrection

After a brief silence, Davidian said, "That's the person who will decide your fate, and the key to the success or failure of what you want to do this time. In this battle, we are all just supporting characters. Everything will only come to a conclusion when you see him and he sees you."

"So, will you fall before me?" Artoria asked again.

David turned his head to look at Artoria, who was half-crouching behind him, before saying, "Of course, isn't it a subject's duty to fight to the last moment for his lord? I'm not without regrets either, am I?"

Artoria didn't say much; the master and servant were enjoying the most peaceful time in a thousand years. Perhaps only in such a brief moment could they find this rare tranquility.

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains, Ritsuka and her companions finally found a place to stay. The archer Arash, along with the assassins Cursed Arm Hassan and Hundred-Faced Hassan, took them in. Honestly, arriving in such a place was a welcome change; the sight of human life brought them considerable comfort.

However, what they need to do now is to organize all the current intelligence. There's not much to say about the Sand People on Ozymandias' side.

Ozymandias has already obtained the Holy Grail, but the era has not yet been repaired. This means the problem lies with the Holy City. Although it's unclear why this is the case, it's obvious that this matter cannot be resolved simply by defeating the Lion King and his Knights of the Round Table.

Not to mention they couldn't defeat the Lion King and his Knights of the Round Table. Even if it weren't the Lion King, David or Gawain would be enough to give them a hard time.

Gawain, whose strength was tripled under the sun and became as hard as diamond, and David, who soared through the skies like a phoenix. Were the Knights of the Round Table really that powerful?

"In legends, isn't Lord Camelot a dragon knight? How could he be associated with the phoenix?" Da Vinci began to compare the legends at this point. How could a dragon knight become a phoenix? The holy sword doesn't match up either. Shouldn't the legendary David wield a holy sword called the Dark Sword Moonshade?

After a brief silence, Bedivere said, "The last time I saw him, he was holding that holy sword. I don't even know where that holy sword came from. Perhaps Lord David was resurrected with that holy sword."

"Resurrected?" All four of them were stunned. Huh? Wasn't Davidan the servant summoned by the Lion King in this land?

Bedivere nodded and said, "That's right, he was already dead by then. You should know about Lord David's final fate and battle, right?"

Mash immediately raised her hand and said, "Yes, I know. In the final battle, Lord David was betrayed and killed by Mordred. The glorious First British Everlasting Legion was wiped out by the lords of Britain, and not long after that came Mordred's rebellion against King Arthur and the final Battle of Camlann."

"That's right, it was after the Battle of Camran that Lord Davian was resurrected and appeared before me. I don't know what happened after that. Perhaps Lord Davian also went through a thousand years after that, and then came to this singularity and pledged allegiance to the Lion King."

Bedivere shared his "speculation" with everyone, and after hearing it, the others subconsciously swallowed.

Hearing this, Master Xuanzang nodded, and added, "Fortunately, he didn't activate his Noble Phantasm when you were fighting him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a chance to rescue you."

"what?"

"what?!"

Da Vinci and Ritsuka were deeply shocked. Wasn't the Holy Sword a Noble Phantasm? Then what was David's true Noble Phantasm?

"Is it the First Britannian Glorious Eternal Permanent Legion?" Bedivere and Mash asked in unison. One of them already knew about this Noble Phantasm, while the other asked the question as if it were an instinct.

"Of course, how do you think they wiped out the local Crusaders? It was all thanks to Davidian's First Legion, which, including Davidian himself, numbered a total of 6,001 men, and wiped out all the Crusaders in a single day. Davidian even personally killed the devil who called himself Charles I."

Xuanzang recounted everything he had seen at the time. Without needing to deploy any special barriers, the entire First Legion was instantly summoned, and the Crusaders were utterly powerless to resist such an attack.

Even without Percival and Gareth being summoned, Davidian easily crushed the entire Crusader army. Then came the rise of the City of Chalk overnight, and the Holy Bastille began.

Ritsuka felt that this singularity repair was probably going to be quite difficult. What was all this about? This was a real pain; how was she supposed to solve this problem?

He had no choice but to get up, scratching his head as he walked outside. The situation was too bad; he needed to clear his head, otherwise he really didn't know what to do next.

When he stepped outside, it was already night. All the mountain people, having worked hard all day, had gone back to their houses to rest. Looking at the lights in every house in this eastern village, he felt a renewed sense of energy after a moment of reflection.

For the sake of these people's lives and future, and for their own sake, they must keep moving forward.

"Hey, Ritsuka. Aren't you resting so late? You must have worked up a lot of energy helping with the hunt during the day. You won't be able to keep up if you don't get some rest." The speaker was Arash, who was on night patrol. That's one of the advantages of being a Servant; they can work without sleep.

"Ah, to be honest, I'm having a little trouble sleeping. Especially now that I know so much about the Holy City, the Knights of the Round Table, and the Lion King. By the way, how's that kid, Lu Shide?"

Ritsuka asked about Lu Shide, the child whom Mash and he had rescued in the Holy Capital. However, his chosen mother was killed by the Chaste Knights of Camelot, and Ritsuka and Mash had no choice but to tell him some white lies.

Arash scratched his head and then laughed heartily, saying, "That kid? He's perfectly fine. He not only plays with other kids his age, but he also does his best to help the adults. Cursed Wrist is very close to that kid... Well, to be honest, that's the only downside of Cursed Wrist, he's not very open about it."

Ritsuka couldn't help but smile after hearing his words. This kind of ordinary, simple happiness always brings joy. It also made Ritsuka feel that their battles along the way had been meaningful, and that they hadn't let themselves down.

The next step is to figure out why this singularity is still in existence. Advancing to the Holy Capital is a no-brainer, and we must also unite with King Ozymandias. However, before that, we need to gather more relevant information and gain the help of more people; our current forces are insufficient to meet the Lion King.

Ritsuka already had a general idea of ​​their next route; they still had a lot to do.

Chapter 194 Life in Higashimura

For the next few days, the Chaldea group stayed in the Eastern Village to try their best to improve the lives of the villagers. However, on a quiet night, Bedivere called Ritsuka and Mash out. He said he had some personal matters to discuss with them.

“During the battle with Lord David, I learned your full names. So, Miss Mash, I must ask you, Mash Kyrielight, is this your name as a Heroic Spirit?”

This was exactly what Bedivere wanted to ask. To be honest, he already had a general idea, but he still wanted to confirm it with the person in question.

Mashu could only shake her head and helplessly explain to Bedivere:

"No, Mash Kyrielight is my name as a human. I am not a Servant in the traditional sense, but a Demi-Servant born from the fusion of a human and a Heroic Spirit. This shield and this armor were entrusted to me by the Heroic Spirit residing in my body. As for that Heroic Spirit's true name and Noble Phantasm, I still do not know them."

Bedivere's expression immediately changed; he showed Mash and Ritsuka beside her profound respect. However, he still said:

"I understand. But since he hasn't made everything clear, I won't tell you either. But, Miss Mash, the Heroic Spirit residing in your body is undoubtedly a Knight of the Round Table."

Moreover, he is unique among us, a knight who prides himself not on martial prowess but on his noble spirit. Since he has chosen you, you and your predecessors are undoubtedly trustworthy. And finding his true name and his Noble Phantasm will become part of your mission.”

“My body… is inhabited by a Knight of the Round Table?!” Mash’s eyes widened. She now understood why she was sad when she saw Gawain and David. So that’s it. The heroic spirit in her body is also a Knight of the Round Table?

"The Knights of the Round Table who have fought alongside you along the way must have noticed it as well. After all, this shield and that knight are both quite extraordinary."

Bedivere was certain that the others had all figured it out, but none of them had said anything. It seemed they had noticed the matter of the Demi-Servants even before he had, and to be honest, Bedivere could probably imagine how disappointed Davidan was about it.

King Uther once hoped to create an extraordinary ruler, and for this purpose he even went so far as to infuse her with the heart and blood of a dragon.

Humans in the future did the same thing again, creating a person and then infusing her with the power of a heroic spirit.

To be honest, if he hadn't figured out who the Heroic Spirit inside Mash was, Davidian probably would have been so angry that he would have cleaved everyone in Chaldea in two.

"So, what are Mr. Bedivere's plans next?" Ritsuka asked Bedivere.

Bedivere smiled and said to Ritsuka, "No need to be so polite, just call me Bedivere. As for the next steps... given the current situation, even as a Knight of the Round Table, I must stand up against the Lion King."

Ritsuka and Mash exchanged a glance, then looked at Bedivere. Without hesitation, they both chose to stay and help Bedivere and the Mountain People.

Emotionally speaking, the massacres following Saint Basil were inhumane. Logically speaking, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table were not fit for this era.

Logically and emotionally, they should fight the Lion King. Not to kill him, but to correct their mistake.

The effect of this brief conversation was significant; after that night, the three of them became even more convinced of their own path and determination.

When the sun rose again the following day, the Servants from the Eastern Village and Chaldea reunited. Cursed Arm, who had been the leader of the Mountain People, began to assess the current situation.

The Cursed Arm's situation is rather unique, and this uniqueness lies in his own era. Although the title of the Old Man of the Mountain is passed down through generations, with only one Hassan per era, this time the situation is different; in addition to himself, several other Hassans have been summoned.

However, Hassan the Shocker had already been killed by Lancelot, Hassan the Shadowbreaker had died at the hands of Gawain, and even Hassan the Smoke-Drunken, who was best at defense, had committed suicide to protect the refugees. Now, apart from Hassan the Hundred-Faced and himself, there was only Hassan the Serenity, who had been captured by the enemy and whose fate was unknown.

Just as everyone was talking, the patrolman came running up and shouted to them, "Chief! The village of Xizhi has lit the alarm signal! Enemy is attacking!"

Cursed Wrist was immediately alarmed upon hearing this news. He hurriedly urged Arash to climb to a higher place to observe the situation in the distance. With his clairvoyance, Arash had already spotted the flag erected in the western village in the distance. He immediately shouted to Cursed Wrist, "It's the flag that severed the dragon's head with the Crimson Thunder! Lord Cursed Wrist, do you recognize this flag?"

"Oh no! Everyone in West Village will be killed! There's only one person who would raise this banner, and that's Mordred, the most ruthless and rebellious knight in the Round Table!" Cursed Wrist immediately broke out in a sweat; this was no joke. Once Mordred went berserk, rivers of blood would flow—that was no laughing matter.

“But West Village is so far away, how are we supposed to get there to provide support? Even if we rush there now, by the time we arrive, I'm afraid there won't be a single survivor.” Ritsuka immediately became anxious. The distance between the two villages is not something that can be reached in a short time; it is too far.

"It's a mountain road after all. Even if I drove my car there, it wouldn't be fast enough. Ugh! I should have built a flying machine!" Da Vinci clutched her head in frustration. She'd been having such a good time these past few days that she'd become a little complacent. If only she had a flying machine to take her there!

But upon hearing his words, Arash seemed to remember something, and he said to everyone, "That's right! There's another way; we can fly there!"

"Huh?!" Everyone was stunned. How can it fly? What's going on? Could someone here have a flying artifact?

"If it's a one-way flight, there is a way, but let me warn you beforehand that it's going to be very exciting! And there are certain risks involved, and we can't land directly in West Village. Even so, are you okay with that?"

Arash still chose to make everything clear beforehand, but none of the people in front of him denied it. Since there was a method, they were willing to try it!
