Davidian's Holy Grail War

“Well, after all, your mother wasn’t summoned this time. I don’t have the means to summon her either, so it doesn’t seem right to have Merlin or Gilgamesh summon her.”

"Shut up! I don't want to hear that name!" Morgan's tone suddenly became agitated, and David quickly reassured her that he wouldn't mention it again.

[I'll add Gareth to the group now, but you're not allowed to send Gareth back when you deactivate your Noble Phantasm.]

Gareth has joined the chat group.

"Mother!" Gareth could feel the magic directly connected to him. So, after Dad and Mom died, their relationship actually improved? Amazing.

Gareth, enjoy life to the fullest. Every summons should be a fresh experience for you; staying on the Throne of Heroes all the time will make you rot.

Morgan's attitude towards Gareth at this time can be described as very gentle, even as that of a true virtuous wife and loving mother.

Davidian also remembered this now; he had never actually witnessed Morgan and Gareth spending time together.

"Your dad's an idiot, don't let him do anything reckless." Morgan also instructed Gareth to keep an eye on Davidian, as Davidian would be more composed with his sweet little girl around.

"Uh...am I really that stupid?" David quipped, clearly unconvinced, before falling silent. Morgan probably gave up on arguing with him and went back to relax.

Before Gareth could say anything more, Davidian ruffled her hair and stood up. They had decided to take turns patrolling each night, and tonight it happened to be his turn.

Since we've already eaten enough, we might as well go for a walk to help digest.

The Japanese Servants were also gathered together talking, and Davidian didn't think it would be a good thing to just casually barge in now.

So he stood on the city wall, gazing at the distant stars, and sighed as he thought of the final enemy. How many of them could hold out until then?

“What a worried look you have, Lord Davidian. Are you perhaps concerned about the Alliance of the Three Goddesses?” King Leonidas approached him and asked in a cheerful voice.

He held a considerable fondness for Lord Camelot, as they were both guardians of their respective nations. Both had led their armies to fight against the enemy, and both had ultimately died due to betrayal. These similar experiences made him want to have a chat with Davidian.

David turned to look at him, then turned his gaze back to the distant starry sky. After a moment's thought, he said to Leonidas, "Yes and no."

"Huh? Why is that?" Leonidas asked, puzzled. He didn't understand David's meaning.

"So far, we have only been attacked by the Northern Beast Goddess, who is also the most savage. She doesn't care about the process, only the result."

The other two goddesses haven't made their move yet, and we don't understand their objectives. And although they both intend to destroy Uruk, I have a feeling things aren't that simple.

That's roughly Davian's feeling, mainly because if the three goddesses attacked together, Uruk wouldn't have lasted this long. There might be more to this than meets the eye.

Leonidas fell into thought. What Davidian said had indeed brought up a blind spot that they hadn't paid much attention to until now.

The fact that the three goddesses didn't come together suggests that there must be some shady dealings they're unaware of.

At this point, Davidian raised another point: "Moreover, Gilgamesh also said that the three goddesses' goal is the Holy Grail in his hands. And that Holy Grail is now inside my body, so it's really unreasonable for the three goddesses not to come."

Leonidas was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Lord David borrowed the Holy Grail from King Gilgamesh just to confirm this?"

David Ann shook his head: "It wasn't my intention, but it did help me get this idea."

Having received a hint from Davidian, Leonidas began to form his own speculations about the incident.

However, he then scratched his head helplessly, realizing that there were still too few clues.

He really couldn't figure out what the connection was, so he decided to stop thinking about it and focus on the task at hand.

Deeper in the northern plains, within the Blood Temple of the Beast Goddess, three goddesses, a person with emerald green hair, and a terrifying-looking beast were discussing the day's events.

They all knew that King Gilgamesh of Uruk had summoned a Servant, and that the summoned Servant had given the Beast Goddess, who had been taking the initiative to attack, a major setback today.

"It seems Gilgamesh was forced into this situation. That arrogant and conceited King Uruk actually chose this method to resist your monster horde. He must have felt immense pressure."

The goddess of the underworld chuckled as she expressed her opinion, but despite the laughter, she didn't entirely agree with the goddess of the beasts' actions and had some reservations about them.

The Sun Goddess, on the other hand, didn't intend to say anything, although her thoughts differed from those of the Beast Goddess. The Three Goddess Alliance was ultimately just a facade; expecting the three of them to be of one mind was completely impossible.

"It's alright. Ashnana, Sipa, and Kish have all been swallowed by me. How can a few Servants withstand my monster tide? Destroying that hateful North Wall is only a matter of time... Kitaburiel, intensify the attack! Don't give those people too much breathing room."

The Goddess of Warcraft issued orders to her warcraft commanders; she didn't want to see those humans continue to enjoy the beauty of life there.

Commander Kitaburiel responded to the Beast Goddess with his powerful roar. At this moment, the green-haired man addressed the three goddesses:

"According to the agreement among the three, neither of them may harm the other. Whoever kills the King of Uruk and takes the Holy Grail from him will be the ruler of this world."

However, the above contract is contingent upon the Holy Grail being delivered by the Magic King. The means are irrelevant, but please act quickly. If humanity's last Master arrives, things will become complicated.

"Is it necessary to be so wary of a mere human master?" The Sun Goddess couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He's just a human. So what if he reaches this singularity? This is the Age of Gods, and the enemy is an alliance of the three goddesses. No matter how strong he is, he can hardly resist them, right?

But the green-haired man stopped talking. After all, he had never met the Chaldea Master and didn't know what kind of person the other party was.

Therefore, this is the only way he can remind the three goddesses to hurry, as now is not the time to waste.

Seeing that he remained silent, the Sun Goddess didn't press the matter further. However, her curiosity had been piqued, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, hoping that the little human's final Master would arrive at this singularity soon.

Chapter 225 Goddess of the Sky

"You mean there are commanders among the monsters?" David stood on the city wall, observing the monsters swarming in from afar.

This time, he didn't take direct action. Instead, he stayed on the city wall with Winchenrib to observe the movements of the monster horde.

They have gained a lot of useful information from yesterday's battle.

"It definitely is, I can guarantee it. But the enemy is hiding quite well, and their roars are difficult to distinguish among the sounds of these magical beasts. It seems that the enemy also knows that we might be carrying out a decapitation strike here, so they are hiding their heads and tails."

While observing the battlefield, Winzenrib signaled actions with command flags. Some of the soldiers trained by Leonidas had also taken to the battlefield today, and he had to oversee their movements while commanding the First Legion.

David clicked his tongue. If that guy dared to show his face, David was absolutely confident that he could strike in one fell swoop and behead him.

If they just retreated like this, that would be a real problem, and he knew that there were still several cities outside the north wall that were holding out and resisting.

He still really wanted to take the initiative to support the city there and rescue the citizens who were still resisting.

He looked up at the sky and saw something flying in the air.

Holy crap, it's a girl? No wonder it's the Age of Gods, Uruk is really exciting. There's a girl dressed very provocatively riding on some weird thing flying in the sky.

Just then, the girl suddenly turned and swooped down from the sky, and Davidian immediately tensed up. What was she up to? We were on business here... Damn it, she was getting closer.

When the other person landed, Davidan saw her face clearly; she was indeed a very beautiful girl.

Aside from the fact that his chest is so pitifully small compared to even a single hair on my king's head.

As for other aspects, it was basically impeccable. However, the other party had obviously noticed David's thoughts and looked directly at him.

However, upon seeing David, the girl's expression turned curious.

"Have we... met before?" David asked, noticing the other person's expression.

However, he then suddenly began searching his memory bank, but found nothing; he must have never seen a little girl with such a face before.

"I also find it strange, like we've really met somewhere before... Well, never mind. You must have been thinking something really rude just now, right!?"

The opponent's momentum instantly shifted, becoming aggressive. David, on the other hand, wore a dazed expression, as if to say he was an idiot and hadn't been thinking about anything.

Winkin Ribbon couldn't help but nudge David with his elbow and said, "Lord, can you have some dignity? Ever since you ascended to the Throne of Heroes and became a Servant, your image has sometimes been so distorted that I don't even want to look at you."

"Ah... it's Lady Ishtar." It was the archers shooting arrows on the city wall who recognized the girl in front of them. They never expected that the god Ishtar would come to this north wall.

"The city god of Uruk? Is that all?" Davian blurted out these words, which made Ishtar even more displeased.

Her pupils instantly turned gold; clearly, if Davidian said anything more rude, things wouldn't end well for them.

So Davian decisively put his hands together and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Ishtar is the strongest, the best goddess in Uruk."

This insincere and even somewhat perfunctory apology caused Ishtar to immediately suppress the divinity that was overflowing from him.

After all, she knew exactly what this person was doing here, and she had more important things to do. She was really anxious right now.

"Alright, let me ask you, have you seen anything very large and powerful here? And it was golden!"

She gestured, but after David and Wincenrib exchanged a glance, they concluded that they had never seen it before, had never seen it at all, and had no idea what Ishtar was talking about.

Ishtar sighed helplessly at the sight of the two, but she did not give up and still planned to continue searching for the big and powerful golden thing she had mentioned.

David felt it necessary to report this to Gilgamesh, since it was something Ishtar was searching for. Although they didn't know what it was, Gilgamesh certainly did.

However, they still had other things to do, and after a brief moment of thought, David said to Wincenrib:

"Three days later, we will go out to support other cities and rescue all the citizens who are still resisting in those cities."

Leaving them here to guard the area shouldn't be a problem, and we can also have Ushiwakamaru and Kotaro search for them.

"The cavalry's speed and the assassin's scent will conceal our tracks as we locate the enemy commander, from whom I will behead him."

Winchenrib thought for a moment and realized that three days would be enough time for Leonidas to train the Uruk soldiers.

Davidian can indeed set off to support other cities, and Ushiwakamaru, together with Kotaro, can also search for enemy commanders. With Benkei, Leonidas, and Tomoe Gozen on the main battlefield, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Where's Merlin? Shouldn't he be out here working at a time like this? Why is he slacking off again?" Davidian was annoyed. Every time, he and the others were working like crazy while Merlin was just loafing around.

But considering the spoilers Merlin gave him... well, let's just assume Merlin is doing something important that he doesn't even know about right now.

When the beast tide receded again, Davidian did not stay there that night. He wasn't on watch that night, so he could go back to Uruk to rest and have some food and drink.

However, he had something to discuss with Gilgamesh tonight, including matters he had discussed with Vincenrib and matters concerning Ishtar from the daytime.

"What?! You're saying she's looking for something really big! Very strong! Golden!"

Gilgamesh's expression faltered, and David saw a complex mix of emotions—speechlessness, misfortune, and grief over something worthless—appear on his face.

“Yes, that’s what she said.” But Davidian didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire, so he recounted what he had seen and heard during the day.

This time, Gilgamesh couldn't hold back any longer. He covered his face and slumped onto the throne. David knew very well what it felt like to be utterly despondent; he'd seen it all before.
