Davidian's Holy Grail War

Ritsuka smiled and changed the subject to Bagst outside. Caster was stunned for a moment, then stammered that it wasn't just His Majesty Morgan or Lord David who had successfully banished the calamity. She had thought she was the third person in the Fairy Kingdom to successfully banish the calamity...

Now it seems that's not the case; many other people actually banished calamities before her.

"Well, I've only made you more nervous. It's my fault. But don't worry about it. I heard that the scale of that incident wasn't that big, just rather troublesome."

Our achievements this time are in no way inferior to hers; we even protected Norwich, which is a feat that defies that so-called prophecy.

When confronted with this, Castor simply deflected the blame, saying that it was Ritsuka and Mash's achievement, and that Lord Davidian had also contributed a great deal. He claimed that he had only made a small contribution by eliminating some of the Morse and holding back the final calamity.

However, at that moment a voice came from outside: "Morse smoke is appearing around us, approaching from the 3 o'clock, 7 o'clock, and 11 o'clock directions! Lightning Soldiers, prepare your formal attire! Guards, form ranks!"

Caster couldn't sit still any longer. Ritsuka smiled at her, then took her hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go help! You want to do well for Gawain too, right?"

Upon hearing this, Caster immediately perked up and replied, "Of course! When it comes to eliminating Moss, I will never admit defeat, not even to the Fairy Knight. Let's teach Gawain a good lesson!"

Her fearless tone made Ritsuka genuinely laugh, and when she saw the two people getting off the carriage, Gawain realized that they did not intend to remain indifferent.

After all, they were warriors who had driven away the calamity. If they were simply being helplessly protected and taken to Camelot, they probably wouldn't feel comfortable about it.

"Alright, then come and lend us a hand! There are a lot of them this time, and we'll suffer casualties if we go it alone. Follow me, Child of Prophecy, Magician from Another Land, don't stray from my side!"

Under Gawain's command, the group of fairy knights charged into the battlefield. Ritsuka began to observe the entire battle from behind, but she soon sensed that something was amiss.

Although they would subconsciously retaliate against the fairy knights who attacked them, the main target of these Moss was not the fairy knights.

At this moment, Muramasa also joined the battle, wielding his long sword to cleave a Morse in two.

Although Bagst was furious, he accepted his help, as it was necessary at the moment. Their single cavalry unit was no match for Moss's attack.

There were more than ten large Morse, and the difference in combat power was too great; their small force was not something they could handle. However, just as Gawain was struggling with what to do next, a blue light shot down from above.

The moment the light descended, it instantly destroyed a large Morse, leaving everyone stunned by its destructive power.

"What do you mean, Lancelot! I don't recall calling you here!" Bagst's anger flared even more; she hadn't expected this turn of events at all.

“Agreed, I also feel there’s absolutely no need to come as reinforcements. But this is His Majesty Morgan’s order. Begin the sweeping of enemy lower-level beings. Retreat for now, Gawain. Defeating them one by one is my domain.”

As Melyuchina spoke, she began to fight. Although Gawain was dissatisfied, he could only choose to retreat according to the situation.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Meiliuqina's incredible speed. Just how fast was that?

No, it's not just about speed, but also about agility. It's as if there's no inertia at all, turning freely in the air. What kind of power is that?

That's... the third fairy knight from the Fairy Kingdom, Fairy Knight Lancelot?

Ritsuka looked at that petite and adorable creature and couldn't help but feel utterly astonished. How could such a cute creature possess such powerful and terrifying combat strength?

"It's like a fighter jet among Servants..." Ritsuka couldn't help but blurt out what was on her mind. If Servants were like soldiers, then the fairy knight Lancelot in front of her was a fighter jet among Servants.

These two things are not even in the same dimension...

In the blink of an eye, all the Morse had been wiped out by her alone, and the surrounding fairy cavalrymen began to cheer.

"As expected of the undefeated dragon fairy, the most beautiful fairy knight in Britain!" Such words were echoing all around.

However, such words failed to elicit any emotional response from Melyuchina. She simply said to Bagst indifferently, "I have already followed the Queen's orders and dealt with the Morse group. Gawain, I entrust the escort mission to you from now on."

After speaking, she once again soared straight into the sky. This vertical takeoff, like that of a helicopter, stunned everyone once more. What kind of combat power would be needed to delay or even defeat such an opponent?

However, Gawain just said to the departing blue light with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, what do you mean by asking me to do this? How could you possibly be qualified to be a guard?"

Then she turned to her elf cavalry and scolded them: "You bunch of idiots! Are you still having time to be happy? You're already so useless on your first day as guards, what will become of you in the future! Your rest in Oxford is canceled! Each of you should reflect on what you did wrong and report back to me!"

Chapter 346 Listening to her tell stories of the past

"Yes, sir! We are utterly ashamed!" The fairy knights were also embarrassed, having made such a fool of themselves in front of their distinguished guest.

This is a disgrace to the Camelot Fairy Knights. If Lord David were here, he might be punished with a flogging.

Gawain was also helpless against them. After all, they were members of the Fairy Knights, yet they couldn't even handle one or two large Morse.

These fairies are far too dependent on Lord David and themselves. It seems that not only humans, but even the fairies need to be retrained...

Then she looked at Ritsuka and the others and exclaimed in admiration:

"Your momentum is impressive, full of hostility. I am very satisfied with your commanding presence; you are quite reminiscent of Lord David. Although we will become enemies sooner or later, I am very pleased with your backbone."

After Gawain finished speaking, he continued his guard duties. Melyuchina had arrived just in time. Their carriages and wagons were undamaged, so they could continue on their way.

However, they wouldn't have the chance to rest in Oxford tonight; they would have to camp out in the wilderness.

The group was then able to open the gift box that Peperoncino had given them before their departure, and they were all quite surprised to find it contained all sorts of desserts.

Chocolate cake, cake rolls, sweet potato yokan, cheesecake—Peperoncino prepared different desserts for each of them.

Castor couldn't help but marvel at how considerate the man was; could it be that all people throughout human history were like this?

"Perhaps not entirely..."

Ritsuka simply replied with that sentence and then started eating his own chocolate cake. After all, he knew some people who were exceptionally wicked, such as Belial, Belial, Belial.

The group started chatting, and it was then that they learned that chocolate was considered a luxury item in the fairy kingdom.

The lower-ranking fairies in the south simply couldn't afford such expensive things; if they had money, they would rather use it to buy something else to pay their existence tax.

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka took the remaining piece of chocolate cake and walked towards Bagster.

When he walked over to Bagst, he held up the cake and said to Bagst, "Do you have a habit of having dessert after your meal?"

Faced with Ritsuka's affectionate manner, Gawain was momentarily at a loss for how to respond. After calmly considering her words, she finally said:

"I don't eat sweets much, and if we're talking about cooked food, I prefer meat. So I won't accept this. But if you have something to say, please sit down. I understand basic social etiquette."

"Hmm, I would indeed like to talk about you."

Ritsuka sat down next to her. After sitting down, Ritsuka couldn't help but marvel at how tall Bagst really was; he had rarely seen such a tall woman.

"I see. So you're trying to find out my real name? Although this kind of espionage is just a waste of effort, your attitude of trying is commendable."

Bagst started talking to herself, but in reality, she was just being clever; Ritsuka didn't mean anything by it.

However, Ritsuka was too lazy to correct her. Real name didn't matter; he just wanted to hear Bagst's past stories.

She was clearly one of the people brought out by Davidan. Ritsuka wanted to know what had happened in the Fairy Kingdom in the past, which would be a good thing for their future exploration.

"I was born in Britain more than four hundred years ago, as a descendant of the high-ranking fairies of the Tooth Clan who lived in Norwich."

However, my appearance is nothing like that of my predecessors. As a member of the Fang Clan, I resemble the Wind Clan, or perhaps I'm more human.

"There are rumors that I am a cursed being, a manifestation of the curse from the Battle of Morse more than 600 years ago. But in any case, the truth will never be known."

I never bothered to find out. The reason I became a Fairy Knight was because Lord Davidan valued me, and the reason I became the Lord of Manchester was because I quelled the Caterpillar War.

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka suddenly asked Bagst, "What exactly does 'Fairy Knight' mean? Is it similar to the Knights of the Round Table in pan-human history?"

"The so-called Fairy Knights are said to be servants of Ash, the savior during the Fairy Era. The first Fairy Knight's name was... his name was..."

Um, sorry. I really can't remember the name. But I heard that the first Fairy Knight died in Orkney, and the Fairy Knights gradually disappeared after that.

"However, after the Queen's Calendar, Lord David reorganized the Fairy Knights to deal with the various calamities that Britain might face, as well as Morse and the mad fairies. I can be considered a latecomer."

After suppressing the Caterpillar War, I not only became the lord of Manchester, but I also received a name from the foreign Knight of the Round Table—Gawain—and gained the means to further strengthen my position.

"Kaledin... is it called a Noble Phantasm? Although I proudly believe it is comparable to the prototype held by Gawain, I myself cannot stand shoulder to shoulder with Gawain, let alone reach the level of the true Knights of the Round Table in the pan-human history."

Hearing Bagst's words, Ritsuka couldn't help but say, "He defeated Lord Tristan before. In terms of strength, Lord Gawain is in no way inferior to Lord Gawain under the real Noon."

However, Bagst simply shook his head and explained that it was nothing; so what if he beat Tristan?

Strength is not everything that determines a person's life. In fact, it would be terrible if a world existed where only strength mattered.

If it weren't for the circumstances, she would have preferred to sit down and chat with Tristan about chivalry; that would have been much more pleasant.

But the Fairy Kingdom is exactly that kind of thing, so wicked that it's unimaginable, though Bagst himself hasn't realized it yet.

"To fight against the strong and help the weak, not to fight for personal gain, and to protect what should be protected—I want to be like Lord Davidian. Becoming that kind of knight is my dream."

Bagst's eyes sparkled as he spoke of these things, and Ritsuka couldn't help but laugh.

It's clear that Bagst is a huge fan of Davian, but that's understandable. Ritsuka himself feels very reassured if he could summon Davian; he has that kind of sense of security.

"Ah, I accidentally said something about the Knights of the Round Table. Oh well, let's talk about something else... Let me think, let's talk about the Battle of Morse."

That was in the first thousand years of the Queen's calendar, more than a thousand years ago. Back then, Morse actually had a king, formed an army, and went to war with His Majesty Morgan and Lord David. I heard that King Morse was quite peculiar.”

This piqued Ritsuka's interest, and he immediately asked what kind of peculiar method it was. Bagst told him that King Moss neither attacked fairies nor killed humans.

That guy simply loves fire and lightning, anything and everything, destroying and burning, and he also enjoys the smoke that follows.

It turns cities and forests into scorched earth, burns the land, summons clouds and rain, and also loves the thunder that descends from the clouds and rain.

Some fairies call that king the King of Storms, but neither Lord David nor His Majesty Morgan likes to give that being such a title, so it has long been forbidden to describe him in that way.

The war with King Moth lasted for decades, finally ending with the Fang Clan's victory. The goblin who defeated King Moth was Woodworth, who had just inherited the position of clan chief of the Fang Clan from the previous generation.

The great calamity, the Demon-devouring King Moth, was thus resolved.

Chapter 347 The Arrival of the Guests

Although her narration was calm, it had a unique charm under such an environment and starry sky.

Ritsuka listened with great interest, and when Bagst suddenly stopped, Ritsuka asked her to continue, as he was eager to know what happened next.

"However, it is said that when King Moth was destroyed, he left a curse on the Fang Clan. The black hound that devours fairies has been wandering the territory of Britain ever since King Moth disappeared."
