I'm really not a top magician

Because on the battlefield, King Arthur had already decided,

And this is also what later generations praised.

King Arthur's last battle, a twilight battlefield where chivalry fades.

Tombstones of countless bodies whose flames of life were extinguished, the Battle of Kamlan

Modred's army formed a battle array and waited for the king's army, which was exhausted from the expedition to Rome.

King Arthur and his guards were able to reach land because of the assistance of Gawain and Kay.

Upon hearing the news of Mordred's rebellion, Gawain rushed to the battlefield despite being injured.

King Arthur broke through the encirclement under the guidance of Gawain, and relied on Kay who appeared from nowhere with soldiers to guard the rear, thus surviving from the desperate danger.

I heard that during this battle, Kai Qing was unable to see the king until the very end.

King Arthur, who successfully set foot on land, got a short time.

There were many princes on Mordred's side, and King Arthur was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.

In the initial battle after landing, Gawain was killed in a one-on-one duel with Mordred.

Although Mordred openly declared, "Like King Arthur, I will lead the charge on the battlefield," he was wounded in the battle with Gawain and took command from the rear starting from the second day of the battle.

As a result, the battle turned into a war of attrition, with bloody fighting between fellow Britons lasting seven days.

In fact, Mordred also has their own opinions.

The reason for the despicable attack targeting the King's return was to take the King's head in the shortest possible time and keep the casualties to a minimum.

But the battle dragged on, spreading across the entire island, and the land that had barely survived suffered irreparable damage.

That process. After repeated retreats and pursuits, and traversing the burning land, King Arthur finally understood the reason for his rebellion.

The soldiers who supported Mordred's rebellion were not united because they hated King Arthur.

Never-ending war.

Barren land.

Children who died of hunger.

They have been patient until now, and have often cried out that they can no longer endure it.

"I hope you'll be patient. I hope you'll hold on."

She kept saying this to the knights.

The king is indeed an ideal king.

The teaching of being upright and living a clean life is imposed on everyone.

Saying things like "In the end, the country will definitely become rich"

But when exactly will that be?

How long will that patience last before it is rewarded?

"Everyone has already reached their limit. I'm the only one who's fine..."

The ideal king,

However, precisely because it is an ideal, it cannot predict people's weaknesses.

Everyone knew objectively that her heart had already surrendered at this point.

On the morning of the seventh day, the struggle reached the Hill of Camlann.

The fierce conflict between the two armies continued until dusk.

A mountain of corpses where all enemies and allies were dead, with only a handful of survivors left.

On the blood-stained hill of Camlann, King Arthur remembered the words of a knight.

"——King Arthur, does not understand the human heart"

She admitted that it was just as the knight said, and grasped the spear with a submissive heart.

The holy sword has long lost its luster.

When her heart gave in, the stars on earth froze.

"At last, King Arthur... It has taken so long. For so long have I wandered the battlefields to reach this point!"

Only two riders remained on the battlefield.

What appeared before the king was an alien-shaped armor.

Dragging the bloody sword, Mordred's figure was like a ghost.

The ghost who seized the country, killed the soldiers, and longed for the invisible said:

"Well. Your country ends here. It's over. Whether I win or you win, everything is destroyed."

The rebellious knight kept repeating "why" in front of the king.

Why don’t you give the throne to yourself!

Why don’t you admit that you are the son!

Why was I born in this form!

The king had no answer to the knight, and, moreover, was under no obligation to answer him.

—The last remaining knights of Britain clash blades.

The holy spear burned through the rebel's internal organs and blew them away.

The rebel's magic sword shattered the king's helmet, slashed open his skull, and took away his single eye and the rest of his life.

The rebel's body slipped from the gun and he died.

King Arthur - Artoria knelt down, using the holy sword that had lost its meaning as a staff, and looked at the pile of dead knights.

Perhaps no one has ever seen the king's current appearance—

She pressed her lips tightly together, suppressing her tears. The sadness made it difficult for her to breathe. She looked down at the end of Britain and burst into tears.

"I've started countless wars and claimed countless lives. Therefore, I will die more miserably than anyone else, hated by everyone. I clearly accept this..."

She cried and complained inconsolably.

Wouldn't it be only yourself who would be destroyed?

Isn't it the foolish king who will meet his foolish death alone?

"...It's not like this. It shouldn't be like this. This isn't the outcome I'm after! I know Britain will end one day. But I believe it should be more peaceful, like falling asleep—"

That was an emotion that even Merlin could not imagine, and it had been hidden in her heart until now.

It was a cry of sorrow and anger that seemed to tear the listener's chest apart, enough to curse the world.

A heroic declaration to be chosen by the Holy Sword, entrusted with the Holy Spear, and shouldering the future of Britain.

"—This is wrong. Absolutely wrong. Even if I could allow my own death, I would never allow such a scene."

It was not the planets but the humans who answered the wish of the king who had fallen to the ground but was still staring at the sky.

Although the planet has accepted the end of civilization,

But humans, having become the planet's primates, continue to reject the end of civilization.

That is the defense device of the "human world" created by the unconscious collective of people.

In order for human history to continue, it absorbs countless records and countless powers, and is a repository of souls that will exist forever until the end of humanity.

Simply put, it is usury without a limit.

If that person is someone who can be of use to humanity's survival, then that person will be given unlimited magical powers - given the opportunity to use that person as a tool to enable the continuation of human history.

Having fallen to the bottom of despair, she indeed heard that voice.

"I'll give you a chance. In exchange for the fulfillment of that wish, I'll take you in after death."

There was no way she didn't know what that meant.

But even so, the king still relied on that power.

If we can avoid this destruction, no matter what the cost, it doesn't matter.

The malevolent miracle picked up her wish.

That is the voice from the world.

Pretending to be a messenger of miracles.

Space and time were tilted, and a gravity source like a bottomless swamp grabbed her.

The king hated Britain's destruction and rejected his own salvation.

From then on, the journey to find the Holy Grail began.

Thoughts kept flashing through Saber's mind, flashing back to Mordred, Lancelot, and the corpses scattered all over the battlefield at the Battle of Camlann.

besides....

Britain is dead.

Saber absolutely could not tolerate that kind of ending, that way of destruction.

Because of this, she obtained the Holy Grail after all, and she must use it to change a decision she made in the past.

End of thoughts,

The figure of Sajo Aika appeared in front of Saber,

And at this moment, Saber must defeat this enemy!

P.S.: I've been feeling a bit slack lately. Once I get a recommendation, I'll offer a reward and then I'll adjust my form. My form has been terrible lately. (My stock market simulation results were the worst in the class. It seems I really don't have the talent for stock trading [facepalming]).

ps: The purpose of writing this chapter is to let everyone understand Saber’s wish.

Saber, C呆 and the new generation of King Arthur, Sha Tiao Ai Ge, the conflict of ideas among the three at the king's banquet is also what I want to write

I have classes in the evening, so I will update later.

Chapter 197 The Truth of the Holy Grail War

"You're finally here, Saber. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Sajo Aika welcomed the arrival of the Knight King with a bright smile.

In fact, after being given the sword by the Fairy of the Lake and recognized by the Sword in the Stone, Aigo can already be called the King of Britain.

It's just that Aika Sajo has a relatively clear understanding of herself. She has not reached the level where people can call her a king and follow her. It can even be said that such a weak Aika Sajo is recognized as a king by so many people. This is a huge scam in itself. All the abilities that she is recognized for do not come from her, but from the shadow.

If these people knew the truth, they would probably kill me.

However, no matter how much she did not recognize her identity as the King of Britain, in front of Saber, Aika Sajo still tried her best to show the noble demeanor that a king should have.

"Sajo Aika, what exactly did you say before?" Saber asked, holding the invisible sword.

Although Saber was extremely angry about Aika Sajo's slanderous words about the Holy Grail, because Aika Sajo's actions had insulted her wishes as a Heroic Spirit.

But as a former British king, she also understood that anger could not bring her victory, and could even bring her death. This was the experience she gained from ten years of fighting on the battlefield.

So even though she felt extremely angry inside, she tried her best to control the expression on her face.

"I was just stating a simple fact. I apologize if I offended you unintentionally."

Aige Shajo bowed gracefully to Saber. She had always shown great respect to King Arthur of Britain, both in her past life and now.

"Since you're here, Saber, I'll continue with the topic we were discussing."

"The Holy Grail, in essence, is not a 'universal wish-granting machine,' and the Three Great Families didn't establish the Holy Grail and Holy Grail War system to grant wishes. The so-called 'universal wish-granting machine' is merely a pretext used by the Three Great Families to attract other magi and gather seven to participate in the Holy Grail War."

Sajo Aika explained.

Saber frowned. "Are you saying that the Holy Grail we're pursuing is nothing more than a hoax?"

"No, judging by the results, the trait of 'wish fulfillment' can't be said to be completely deceptive."

Sajo Aika shook her head, denying Saber's statement: "The essence of the Holy Grail War is that after the Holy Grail War is decided, the souls of the seven Heroic Spirits return from the outer world—our world—to the inner world—the Seat of Heroic Spirits, or the Root."

"During this process, a temporary 'hole' will be created on the boundary between the inner and outer worlds. The magical power of the Yuanzang Mountain's spiritual veins will then be used to reinforce this 'hole'. At this point, the goal of the three great families will be achieved. They have opened the 'hole' leading to the source. At the same time, with the opening of the 'hole', the magical power flowing out from the inner world will be almost infinite compared to the outer world."

"The Holy Grail itself does have a 'wishes-granting' mechanism. This means that when a magus possesses such immense magical power and possesses the means to achieve 'miracles beyond the reach of magic', the Holy Grail can grant these miracles. However, it should be noted that this so-called near-infinite magical power is also relative and limited, depending on the extent of the miracle you wish to achieve."
