Davidian's Holy Grail War

The blow cleaved through her mithril helmet and inflicted a fatal wound! Gareth was even sent flying a considerable distance by the attack.

At that moment, she lost her composure.

The newcomer was too powerful; she couldn't possibly handle him.

Her life was about to end here, and in her last moments, tears of self-reproach streamed down her face as those cruel voices reached her ears.

"Kill them all! They have committed the sin of consistently ignoring the kindness of that noble lord!"

"Although Lentinium couldn't even break through that Davidian for a long time, it is indeed very vulnerable if you attack from the inside!"

"Any human being is prone to trust, and fools are perfectly suited for this dead end!"

"Superfluous trash doesn't need a homeland! Kill them all! Burn this place to the ground!"

Even in her final moments, Gareth was still repenting. In that instant, she remembered everything—her true identity, who she really was. But it was precisely because she remembered that she felt boundless sorrow and endless pain…

She tried so hard to save everyone, to prevent that devastating future, but once again, she failed to protect anyone...

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was an accident, but she landed right on the Morgan-made magic circle that Ritsuka used to summon Heroic Spirits...

Her blood was flowing over it and down every line of the magic circle, and the magic circle that had absorbed her blood began to glow at that moment!

Not yet... not yet, this can't end... I must, I must protect everyone... Someone must, someone must protect everyone...

But she didn't have the strength to stand up at all; that blow had completely shattered her life.

Even so! She still wanted to fight; she wanted to protect everyone!

Therefore, the brilliance of this magic circle reached its limit at this moment, and those who responded to her call had heard her sorrowful wish!

Blue light burst forth from the magic circle, followed by a full-blown explosion of the light of miracles! The next moment, armored warriors wielding weapons appeared before each invading enemy; a true miracle had arrived!

A knight clad in silver armor adorned with crimson accents, a blue-purple cloak, a dragon-shaped helmet, and a longsword at her waist emerged from the magic circle. She slowly knelt on one knee, lifted Gareth's gradually cooling corpse from the ground, and said:

“Gareth, the last knight of Lentinium, I know of your tragic wish.”

Chapter 424 The Last Lord of the First Legion

When Gareth saw the knight one last time and felt the connection between them, her heart was at peace. Her call for a miracle summoned the strongest support; the one truly capable of changing the entire battlefield single-handedly arrived at that moment.

Everyone helped, respected, and understood each other. They cherished themselves and those around them… This period has been truly enjoyable…

[Fujimaru Ritsuka said that such a world is only natural, so our Britain will become like that too. Heh, will such a world really come? Will a fairy with such a future really appear?]

I really enjoy watching Fujimaru Ritsuka~ Because in their world, there is so much happiness, and it seems like the cruel future where everything ends no matter what you do doesn't exist.

How I envy us. We don't have such a future. I've always known what I should protect, the only thing I know for sure is that I should guide the Child of Prophecy. However, I don't want to lose anything else for this. I don't want the entire clan to die.

[Stubborn Gareth, stubborn Einzel. They can clearly see the future, so why can't they accept it...? Heh, actually, there's really no why...]

In the eyes of the knight clad in silver armor, Ainsel's pupils gradually became unfocused.

And all the voices in Ainsell's heart entered her mind without missing a single word, as she perceived them.

This was probably her final, sweeping review of her life, and the newcomer now fully understood—Ainsell's tragic wish to protect.

"Now that we have heard such a tragic wish, it would be unbecoming of us, as Knights of the Round Table and Queen of Britain, to sit idly by! The First Legion is to strike! All invading enemies shall be killed!"

The Second and Third Battalions pushed the battle line back outside the city! The Seventh Battalion was responsible for extinguishing the fire! The Eighth Battalion was capturing prisoners for interrogation! We need to find out who the mastermind behind this incident is!

However, just as she gave the order, a blue flash came toward her.

The same technique, the same angle, the same force—the blade came right in front of her. But this time… will it be the same result?

The answer is no!

The longsword was drawn, and this seemingly ordinary and simple sword easily blocked the attacker's attack under the cover of the miraculous light.

The sword's owner didn't even hold the sword; this was the miraculous light's own reaction!

She placed Gareth in her arms into the air, and enveloped in a miraculous light, Gareth floated there. Only then did she finally grasp her longsword; the real battle was about to begin.

"Who... are you?" Mei Liuqina asked the name of the person in front of her. She could sense a dangerous aura emanating from the person in front of her. Who exactly was this powerful person?

Upon hearing Melyuchina's question, the noble knight revealed her true name:

"Originally, I had no intention of revealing my name to such a despicable person as you. But since you have asked, I will give you my name."

I am Gareth Sleigh! Daughter of Lord Davidian Sleigh of Camelot and the Britannian vixen Morgan Sleigh! I am also Queen of Britain, and the last commander of the First Legion!

Meiliuqina never expected to encounter such a tough opponent at this time, but now she had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it.

The person before me possesses a Legion-level Noble Phantasm, and she even just said she would leave some alive for questioning. If we can't wipe out all the enemies here, this matter will definitely implicate the person behind her.

However, no matter the attack, Gareth could easily block it. Melyuchina could see Gareth's cold expression through her helmet. For the first time in Britain, she was unable to gain any advantage in combat.

After another swift attack, she chose to take off and look for an opportunity. This was her advantage; in any battle, air superiority was crucial. Based on her intuition, the person before her shouldn't have the ability to negate her aerial advantage.

However, just as she took off, Gareth reached out and gripped her firmly in mid-air! The immense force applied directly to the unsuspecting Melyuchina, immobilizing her in the air!

"You mere Albion's left hand dares to be so insolent before me?! If you were to unleash your true form, I might give you some leeway, but with only this elfin demeanor, you could never be my match! Get down here!"

Then Gareth pressed down hard, and Melyuchina was pulled to the ground by the force.

In the application of the Miracle Light, Gareth had long surpassed her master. Even if Wincenrib or Davidian stood before her, they would be no match for her in this regard.

However, having broken free from that immense force, Melyuchina attacked her again, and she knew she had lost her advantage in flight. But now that she had taken Morgan's name, she still possessed the advantage of maneuverability. Even without flying, she was confident in her speed and strength!

"Still not giving up?!" Gareth swung his sword to block all her attacks. This battle, which relied purely on numbers and lacked much skill, even made her feel bored.

If it weren't for the fact that there were other people here who needed her protection, Gareth would have even wanted to force Melyuchina in front of him to reveal her true form and fight him to the death.

While the two women were fighting, the warriors of the First Legion had already finished their battle. Enemies of this caliber were child's play for them; they had even extinguished the great fire in Lentinium.

However, these people are quite stubborn; they haven't given in even after fighting for so long.

So they began to observe the battle between Gareth and Melyuchina. Although it seemed extremely dangerous, they could clearly see that Gareth had completely controlled the situation on the battlefield.

She didn't push Meryuchina any further, not because she couldn't, but because she didn't want to.

Ultimately, Melyuchina escaped. While she could be foolish at times, she was mostly quite clever. When all her accomplices were defeated and she couldn't defeat Gareth, she knew she had to retreat.

Meanwhile, Ritsuka and her group, having sped up their pace, finally returned to Lentinium. All they could see now were the soldiers of the First Legion, and the traitor they had captured and beaten like a dead dog.

Gareth removed her helmet in front of them, revealing her long, flowing golden hair, inherited from her mother.

At the same time, she spoke up: "You were too lax in your internal affairs, and you came back too late. If I hadn't been there, all you would have found when you returned was a field of corpses. Saving these people is already my limit."

Ritsuka and the others didn't know who the person in front of them was, but since she said that, they understood that she was not an enemy. And Caster also saw Gareth floating there, enveloped in the light of miracles.

“Go, Caster, you still have things to do. The rest of you come with me. We need to find out who orchestrated this, or rather… who these enemies are acting for.”

After she finished speaking, Caster ran quickly toward Gareth, with Percival following behind her.

The others obediently followed behind her to find out the truth. So much had happened at once, and they desperately needed to know the truth.

Chapter 425 Proper handling

Gareth led his men to the captured mole, where First Legion soldiers were grabbing him by the collar and beating him mercilessly, trying to pry anything out of him.

However, as mentioned before, these people are quite stubborn; even when they admit it, they still claim to be part of the Queen's Army. Gareth's only comment on this is—they're putting on quite a show, aren't they?

She grabbed the guy by the neck and pulled him in front of her. Since physical methods weren't working, she'd have to use some magic tricks on him.

From the insider's perspective, Gareth's eyes began to slowly emit a spiraling blue light. Under this blue light, his mind began to dissipate, and his soul began to collapse.

"Tell me, who sent you?" Gareth asked, and under her questioning, the mole began to answer questions like a puppet.

“No…no one sent us. We…we spontaneously organized ourselves to infiltrate Lentinium to become inside agents, ready to wipe out all the Round Table backups.”

His words shocked everyone. Was this guy an idiot? Even Ritsuka thought these people were completely out of their minds. He couldn't help but look at Gareth, and seeing Ritsuka's gaze, Gareth understood what he meant.

"Then why did you do that?"

"The Round Table Army... is a bunch of dirty, superfluous scum. We... we must wipe them out for Lady Aurora."

They are unworthy of Lady Aurora's gentleness, merely a bunch of... nothing more than a pile of defective products discarded by the factory. How dare they stand on equal footing with us, the ones Lady Aurora has chosen?

Alright, that's enough of the nonsense nobody wants to hear. Gareth snapped the guy's neck with a flick of her finger, then burned his body to ashes with blue flames.

The soldiers of the First Legion had completed the defense of Lentinium, the fire had been extinguished, and they were now working with the returning Round Table soldiers to move the remains of the goblins and humans.

“Aurora? What’s that? Ritsuka, explain it to me.” Gareth turned his head and focused his attention back on Fujimaru Ritsuka, who then told Gareth everything he knew.

After hearing his words, Gareth couldn't help but frown. What an idiot! Is this some kind of joke?

"She's like the queen ant in a colony, with all the worker and soldier ants revolving around her to satisfy her pitiful and pathetic emotional needs. Oh, right, how come there's a surviving portion of Albion in this Lostbelt?"

Ritsuka and the others understood that the part of Albion that Gareth mentioned was Melyuchina, so they explained this part of the information.

Gareth frowned at this. A lump of rotten flesh imitated someone else's existence and turned into that?

"Alright, I think I understand. Okay, Ritsuka, let's sign the temporary contract. After all, Fairy Gareth is dead. And as a Servant, I still need a Master."

Gareth's decisive and efficient demeanor left Ritsuka speechless; it was completely different from the young Gareth she knew before. What had this Gareth been through?

After the contract was signed, Gareth smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, this matter has surprised me quite a bit. I suddenly heard a voice calling me, and out of curiosity, I responded to the call."

After arriving here, I saw a little girl who looked exactly like me from before, and there was a chaotic battle going on. After that, I learned everything through the Miracle Light's connection to her inner thoughts, which led things to this point.

Seeing that warm and familiar smile, Ritsuka and Mashu finally felt relieved. Although he had grown up, the person in front of them was still the same Gareth.

"So, Ritsuka, tell me what kind of opponents we'll be facing in this Lostbelt! Don't worry, I'm Super Gareth now! No matter what kind of enemy it is, they're no match for me, not even Albion's left hand."
