Davidian's Holy Grail War

By the time Davidan had dealt with the group of Sphinxes sent by Nitocris to support Chaldea, Lancelot and his companions had already fled the scene.

It would probably be too late to chase after them now. He couldn't help but shake his head. Nitocris's support was indeed unexpected.

Unexpectedly, before the Sun King could make a decision, his subordinates had already offered Chaldea assistance, but that didn't matter.

"It's not like there were no results at all. Go back and report on this matter. Let Agravwen worry about the rest. The final battle is fast approaching. The Sun King uniting with the Mountain People? Bedivere... don't let me down."

He transformed into a phoenix and soared into the sky towards the Holy City; the end of this singularity was finally approaching.

Led by Lancelot, the group finally arrived at the place he had described. It turned out to be a camp, inhabited not only by mountain people but also by desert people, and even by people from the Holy Land!

This truly surprised them, and they also noticed the size of the camp; it couldn't have been built in just a few days. It seemed Lancelot had gathered this group here and placed them under protection long ago.

In response, Mashu gave Lancelot extra praise: "You rascal! You never would have guessed you could do such a wonderful job just by looking at you, Dad!"

“I told you not to use that title…” Lancelot covered his chest with one hand and lifted the curtain of a large tent with the other, leading everyone inside.

Let's use this place as a temporary base for now, rest and regroup, and then consider our next move.

In the current situation, although they have figured out many things, they are still at a huge disadvantage in terms of combat strength.

Especially since they had just lost Tawara Tota, although they had gained some intelligence in return, it was still a huge loss.

However, everyone composed themselves, and Da Vinci began to categorize and summarize the questions that were still unclear to everyone: "Okay, first of all, why did King Arthur become the Lion King?"

Everyone looked at Lancelot, but Lancelot could only helplessly say:

“I don’t know either. When we were summoned here, the King was already like that. And he didn’t seem to be controlled by the Magic King you mentioned. In fact, you could say that the King wanted to achieve his own goal before the Magic King could achieve his goal.”

The expressions of the others became even more distorted; even Lancelot, who had been summoned, didn't know the reason why King Arthur had turned into the Lion King.

However, Lancelot didn't stop there. He continued, "There were also Knights of the Round Table who were summoned but did not obey the King, but they were all killed by Lord Davidian afterward. Lord Bos, Lord Percival, King Perinoa, Lord Palamedes, and Lord Gahoris were all killed directly, while Lord Cay and Lord Gareth gave up and returned to their seats."

Bedivere's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "Huh? Weren't the other Knights of the Round Table defeated in battle against the Crusaders?"

Lancelot glanced at him in surprise, then said with a hint of displeasure:

“Lord Bedivere, your words are a direct challenge to the strength of the other Round Table colleagues and Lord David. What right do these mere tomb raiders have to defeat us, seasoned Knights of the Round Table, who are blessed with sacred artifacts? The enemy’s last leader was nothing more than a victim of Lord David’s sword.”

Now Bedivere was speechless, but though he didn't say anything, a deeper sorrow welled up inside him, and a voice echoed in his mind.

It's all his fault now. If he hadn't done that, none of this would have happened. Davidian would have been enjoying a peaceful sleep long ago; why would he be here engaging in another civil war with his fellow Round Table colleagues?

"Although I don't know why, I think I understand how I became the Lion King." Da Vinci-chan shared her thoughts with everyone.

"Holding the Holy Lance for so long, her attributes have probably changed. King Arthur was originally a legend born on earth, but because of the Holy Lance, he has now become a legend sitting in the heavens."

"So, you mean, you went from being a human hero to a god in the heavens?" Mashu probably understood what Da Vinci meant; she explained it very clearly.

“Exactly!” Da Vinci continued happily, “After all, as long as people have rationality, no matter how ideal the city may be, it will include the idea of ​​improving people’s quality of life.”

But she didn't do that, she didn't even think about it. To maintain the concept of an "eternal human world," she denied all human happiness. This goes far beyond callousness; it's the perspective of a transcendent being. And she genuinely believed it.

Ritsuka finally understood completely, and he shared his thoughts: "So that's it. So, the so-called 'humans have value, but human lives don't,' right? No wonder the essence of the Holy Capital is like a collection cabinet; this is not how humans behave."

“But why! Why did it turn out like this! My lord Arthur’s original goal was to protect the peace of Britain and safeguard the peaceful lives of the people! Why did that knight king turn out like this…” Lancelot’s confusion had reached its limit; this was completely different from his understanding.

The former King Arthur tirelessly strived for the happiness of his people and the peace of his kingdom, but the current Lion King can be said to have completely deviated from his original ideals.

Ritsuka glanced at Bedivere, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she suppressed her own desire to ask. Then Da Vinci-chan raised a second question: the current Davidian also differed from their legends, even being quite different.

"The original David was supposed to be a Knight of the Round Table wielding the dark sword Moonshade and fighting with the power of dragons. But now he has nothing to do with dragons, and with the blessing of the phoenix's flames, he even has the ability to resurrect."

What's going on here? No version of the legend mentions this, and the dark sword in his hand isn't the Dark Sword Moonshade either.

Da Vinci searched through all the knowledge in her mind but couldn't find an answer to this question, so she wanted to ask Lancelot if there were any legends that hadn't been passed down to later generations.

But Lancelot shook his head and said everything he knew: "No, I don't know either. Lord Davidian in his lifetime probably didn't have such a sword."

The original Lord was an extremely powerful Knight of the Round Table, wielding the power of both the Dark Moon and the Evil Dragon King. It is truly shameful that my inappropriate actions forced him to use that forbidden power.

Bedivere's expression tightened even more; he was the first person to witness Davian acquire the power of the Phoenix and the Nameless Sword.

However, even he himself did not know how Davidan obtained that power. If Davidan himself did not tell, then it would be a complete mystery, and no one would know the truth.

Chapter 212 Strategy for the Holy Capital

“They don’t care! That guy just killed Fujita like that, without any hesitation!” Xuanzang cried out, though she didn’t say it out of hatred for David.

However, this matter was still difficult for her to accept at the moment, and it was indeed very upsetting.

In this matter, Lancelot apologized to the monk Xuanzang:

“I’m sorry, this is my fault. I knew he had the ability to resurrect but didn’t say so, but if I don’t try, it feels like I’m giving up prematurely. If we want to conquer the Holy City, we can’t do without defeating the Lord. So we have to try, no matter what kind of attack it is.”

Upon hearing Lancelot's words, everyone fell silent with complicated expressions.

His words were not without reason. Other attacks might not be able to achieve the same result, but what if this attack happened to succeed?

We have to try no matter what, otherwise even if we get to the Holy City, we'll just be wiped out one by one by Davidian. It's just a matter of time.

"Moreover, even in this state, Davidan is still not using his full strength. The Miracle Light has not yet appeared, which means that he is only fighting us as Lord Camelot. If the Miracle Light appears, then even if we drag him into my best form of close combat, his defeat will only be a matter of time."

Lancelot continued to provide the information he knew, stating that so far in the battle with Chaldea, Davidian had not called upon the First Legion.

"He's so strong, and he hasn't even used his full strength yet!" Da Vinci was utterly dumbfounded. Davidan was already way beyond what was allowed. He was even more ferocious than Cú Chulainn, the Mad King of the Fifth Singularity, and Lancelot said he hadn't even used his full strength?

Bedivere then asked, "Has Lord Davidian only called upon the First Legion once, during that battle in the Holy Land?"

Lancelot nodded, then looked at the Chaldea group with Bedivere. They both understood why Davian wasn't using that power, and that he probably wouldn't use it again in the upcoming battle.

Although the idea was somewhat shameful, it was a good thing for them. With their current combat strength, they absolutely had no spare capacity to face Davian at full power; in fact, it could be said that even Davian at a reduced level was beyond their current capabilities.

Let's put those issues aside for now and consider the biggest problem: Not only has this era long since collapsed, but we also need to create a world that is excluded from everyone's reasoning?

If that really happens, even if the Magic King is defeated and his reason is burned to nothing, human history will become a mess!

The Lion King's holy lance will turn the sacred city of Camelot into a cancer after humanity's restoration. Stop the Lion King at all costs!

Dr. Roman's words brought everyone's thoughts back to the present. Thinking about the reasons for the Lion King and Lord Camelot's anomalies was now somewhat superfluous. The key was to stop the Holy Lance; otherwise, even if humanity were restored, it would be futile.

“I will go to see the king and become a traitor. That way, we might have a chance to stop the Holy Lance, right?” Lancelot suggested. He couldn’t think of anything else and could only do his best.

“That won’t do, Lord Lancelot. Having received the blessing, you are now equivalent to the Lion King’s servant. If you were to raise your sword against him, your very existence would likely be reduced to ashes.”

Da Vinci quickly stopped him, saying that for the Knights of the Round Table to directly confront the Lion King would be certain death.

Not to mention that Davidian has definitely returned to the Holy City by now, and news of Lancelot's betrayal must have spread throughout the entire Round Table.

"It seems that joining forces with Hassan and the others to launch a frontal attack on the Holy City is the only option, but..." Mash stopped there. This method is feasible, but relying solely on the Mountain People would likely result in too great a sacrifice.

Although the first Old Man of the Mountain promised to help, that alone wouldn't be enough to defeat the Lion King's army. It wasn't that they couldn't win, but rather that speed was crucial; in this situation, every second counted, and not a single moment could be wasted. After all, even the slightest delay could mean the end of the era.

"Fighting like this is suicide! I don't care about myself, but if you do it, I'll cry again!" Master Xuanzang was unwilling to take this approach; it was not a way to die.

At this moment, Ritsuka reached out and said directly to someone present, "Isn't there someone with an abundance of troops who just helped us out? Now is the time to have that person join us in launching the final battle against the Holy Capital!"

"Sun King! Senior, do you want to ask King Ozymandias for help?" Mash immediately realized what was going on. After all, she had just been saved by Nitocris, and there might actually be a chance if she joined forces with the Sun King.

Bedivere, however, exclaimed that this was impossible; how could that arrogant and conceited Sun King possibly choose to help them?

Da Vinci also disagreed, even suggesting the possibility of continuing the fight against the Sun King after the battle with the Lion King. Lancelot, however, surprisingly agreed with Ritsuka's idea with remarkable intuition and explained:

The text is for personal study and trial reading only. Please delete it within 24 hours after downloading. If you like this resource, please purchase the genuine version. Thank you for your cooperation!

"No, that's a misconception. Putting aside the possibility of continuing to be enemies with the Sun King after the battle with the Lion King, in the current situation, if we ignore the Lion King, Egypt's desert territory will still disappear."

That man couldn't possibly be unaware of this. If we offer reasonable conditions, Ozymandias might be willing to assist us. The Egyptian king wouldn't refuse favorable negotiations.

"Hmm... what would be a reasonable condition? Handing over Ritsuka? That won't do." Da Vinci still didn't have any hope for this, after all, she really didn't have a good impression of the Sun King in this regard.

Upon hearing this, Lancelot laughed instead:

"Don't worry, appearances can be deceiving. That guy is actually quite naive. He'll definitely choose to help the side with the better chance of winning. All we need to do is show him the strength to warrant his help!"

Ritsuka nodded, stood up, and said to everyone, "Alright, then let's not delay. Everyone, let's head to the Sun King's Temple now. Rather than doing nothing, we should at least give it a try, shouldn't we?"

"Don't be in such a hurry, Ritsuka. At least we need to prepare for crossing the desert first, right? And we also need to send some people to contact the Mountain People and agree on how to proceed with the upcoming battle."

Da Vinci quickly stopped him, saying that being too hasty would prevent him from getting anything done, and that he couldn't forget about the Mountain People while focusing on the Sun King.

Ritsuka blushed and scratched his head sheepishly, but no one else would criticize him. In fact, this was the perfect state of mind; it was this youthful drive that allowed him to charge headlong into the future without hesitation.

Chapter 213 The eve of the decisive battle

"As you have heard, that is the situation. Lord Lancelot has rebelled. From now on, we no longer need to consider him and his troops as allies. We should focus on preparing for the arrival of the Mountain People and the Sun King's allied forces."

David told Agraven everything he had seen in the desert, urging him to prepare for the upcoming battle; the plan was now in its final stages. Whether it would succeed was up to fate.

However, Agravan was furious. How could that man shamelessly choose to betray again and again? Did he have any self-respect as a Knight of the Round Table?

He stormed out of the main hall to make arrangements. This time! This time he was determined to twist that man's head off!

"Is the news of Lancelot's betrayal truly accurate, Lord David?" Gawain asked David, receiving only an unwavering affirmation in return.

Then everyone fell silent. Gawain then left the main hall and headed towards the main gate of the Holy City. He was the guardian of the main gate; as long as he was alive, he had to do everything in his power to stop all the enemies.

David then ordered Lord Tristan, "Go and guard the city, Lord Tristan. Gawain can't stop all the enemies. When they break into the city, wipe them out, understand?"

"Understood, I will obey orders." Lord Tristan bowed and left, leaving Mordred as the only one still there without any further orders. However, Mordred knew that David must have prepared something for him.

Just as she was thinking this, David looked at her.

What Davidian said next surprised her. He said, "Go, Mordred, go and fulfill your promise to them. Didn't you say that you would settle things when you met again in the Holy City? Then go. I have no other orders for you."
