The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

[Britain's front line was ruthlessly torn apart by Vortigern.]

【You realize that King Uther is headed for doom. 】

41. The King’s Defeat is a God-given Opportunity

Ian was not surprised at all to hear the news.

King Uther's failure was a fate that even he himself acknowledged.

It would be better to say that being able to deal with Vortigern for such a long time under such circumstances can be considered as trying one's best.

In that case—

Ian looked at the British knights in front of him.

These people should be the ones who were evacuated from the defeated front line.

one;

two;

three;

Ian estimated the number of knights in front of him.

I should be able to kill them all by myself - after all, they all have wounds on their bodies.

We must not allow the news of the defeat at the front to reach Camelot so easily.

Ian's hand stopped on the sword at his waist.

"Where did you escape from?"

The lead knight's question pulled Ian back a few steps from his overflowing murderous aura.

He could only force a fake smile and then replied:

"I didn't escape from anywhere."

"I am a garrison soldier in Camelot."

"The garrison of Camelot..." The leading knight nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly remembered something.

"Then you must have met the princess!"

"..."

Ian hesitated for a moment and chose to tell him part of the truth directly.

"Well...actually I am the knight who escorted her all the way back to Camelot."

The leading knight was stunned at first, then excitedly grabbed Ian's hand.

"Are you... the knight named Ian?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Hey!" The leading knight immediately waved to the people behind him, "Come here quickly! This is the knight named Ian that has been discussed in the barracks!"

"what?!"

[The defeated knights approach you.]

【They cast admiring glances at you. 】

【This may surprise you. 】

[You start asking what's going on. 】

[The defeated knights quickly told you everything.]

[You finally have a chance to know what the situation is like on the front line after you and Morgan left. 】

[King Uther did not reveal the real reason why he sent his daughter Morgan back to the capital. ]

[Instead, he chose to explain the problem to his troops by saying that "Camelot needs her to guard it."]

【As for you, King Uther covered up all the truth by saying "a knight that only the princess can intimidate."】

[This is considered his most unsuccessful decision.]

[Because Morgan is invincible in the minds of the knights, and you are a brave general who is impressed by her. 】

[As Britain's military strength began to decline, this argument became more and more intense. 】

[The absence of you and Morgan seems to have been unanimously recognized by the knights as the root cause of the defeat in the war.]

[But you who know everything know that this is what King Uther did on purpose - this may be the only care he has left for Morgan.]

【You realize that the situation may be a godsend. 】

Ian calmly pressed the sword he was about to draw back into the scabbard.

“So many things happened.”

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It wasn't that hard..." The leading knight showed a regretful and sad expression, "The king was defeated, and so were we."

"It's not entirely your fault."

Ian patted his shoulder soothingly.

"We also have a responsibility - we should have insisted on staying on the front line."

"Lord Ian, we..."

"Well, don't regret it anymore." Ian stopped the knights from feeling sad. "You have to look forward. There is always a way forward."

"Tell me, how many people like you are around here?"

It's like a dream.

"I don't know."

"Everyone is fleeing. We are just a small part of the group. We are all parked in the village ahead."

"I see."

Ian was somewhat glad that he didn't rush into action just now - after all, the noise might have scared a few people away, which would have been a big problem.

"Everyone."

Ian parked his horse.

"Take me to see them."

"it is good!"

【Under the guidance of the knights, you are able to enter the village. 】

[Talent Affinity·Chivalry has been activated: You are dressed neatly and are considered a powerful knight. The villagers do not show any aversion to your arrival. ]

【You meet the rest of the knights.】

[They were sitting around a bonfire, looking quite tired.]

[The wounds on their bodies are more shocking than those of the knights you encountered before.]

[Obviously, these are a group of knights who were more seriously injured.]

[You can feel from those wounds how they fought for King Uther.]

[To be fair, as a former colleague, you do feel a little sad for them.]

[The knights just now told your identity to the others present. ]

[They expressed considerable surprise.]

"Lord Ian..."

These injured knights tried to stand up and show their respect.

"No need to get up."

Ian stopped them immediately.

"My status is not much higher than yours."

This was true - because these knights obviously didn't know that they were married to Morgan.

Or to be more precise, the grand wedding did not affect this remote village.

After all, all the way here, what Ian felt from the villagers' eyes was more curiosity than respect.

"You don't need to be so respectful."

As Ian spoke, he distributed the rations he had to the knights.

"Let's eat something first."

“Thank you so much!”

The knights were very grateful for Ian's generosity, and this exchange also made them relax a lot.

"May I ask how is the princess doing?"

"She's fine." Ian answered without hesitation, "Under her management, Camelot is more prosperous than before."

"hateful!"

Hearing this, one of the knights hammered the ground.

"If only we could defeat that damned Vortigern!"

"If we could bring victory back to Camelot, we wouldn't need to feel guilty like this now!"

"..."

Ian wanted to tell everyone present that this war was doomed to fail.

But in the end, he hid all his thoughts deep in his heart.

Don't mention unnecessary things.

"So, how did you end up in this village?"

Ian glanced at his surroundings.

"Did you come here by chance like I did?"

“It can’t be said to be entirely accidental.”

"What does it mean?"

"Um……"

The knights looked at each other and nodded.

The leading knight again spoke up to explain:

"It was a young man named Artorius who brought us here."

=========

Today is also 3 more 3

42. An unexpected reunion

[The knight's words made you realize one thing. ]

[This is the village where Artorius is.]

[Rescuing the knights who were defeated on the front line is indeed something that someone with his personality would do.]

"So where is he now?" Ian asked.

"This one……"

The knights looked at each other and then shook their heads.

"He didn't tell us where he went, he just asked us to wait here for him to come back."

"Did he say anything else?"
