They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 337 Knights of the Round Table VS. Grammer's Iron Cavalry

Artoria announced the charge, and her holy lance, Lungominiad, instantly became enveloped in golden light, shooting a golden ray straight towards the buildings in front of her.

Artoria's move was to test whether the enemy had set up a barrier in front of them, so as to prevent her troops from crashing directly into the barrier during a charge.

The result was obvious: how could the defensive fortifications set up by the Heroic Spirit Chadwick not have energy shields?

Therefore, the golden ray that Artoria fired did not travel very far before it touched an imaginary force field that was invisible to the naked eye.

Since Artoria's attack was only probing, the beam of light was completely blocked by the force field.

However, having confirmed the enemy's "barrier," Artoria had her own way of breaking it.

It led the charge towards the barrier and used its mind to command the ranged attack units in the army [with omnipresent vision] to concentrate their fire on the "barrier" in front of them.

【The line of sight is everywhere】As a low-level memory domain meme, there are already a lot of them. Thousands of units firing at once in a row give a feeling of ten thousand arrows being fired at once.

Of course, the force field of the Heroic Spirit Chadwick could not be broken so easily by these low-level memory domain memes.

Although the force field was rippled by the impact, it remained solid and showed no signs of damage.

However, as the Memoirs launched a volley of arrows, Archer also drew his bow and fired at the very end of the battle.

Archer stretched the projected spiral sword, and the fully charged energy caused the "arrow" to continuously emit red and black lightning.

A fully charged pseudo-spiral sword shot out instantly toward Artoria's back.

Archer's shooting angle is very misleading because he is aiming at the side of Artoria's head.

If Artoria were to shake her head at that moment, the sword might just shoot right into her head.

Fortunately, this version of Artoria is perfectly capable of trusting those she employs and not employing those she doesn't trust.

Since Archer was left to provide support from the rear, Artoria believed that he would not betray her.

So even though she felt a potentially fatal attack coming towards the back of her head, Artoria didn't even flinch.

Artoria remained still, so Archer's attacks naturally wouldn't hit her.

And, almost a second before Artoria was about to crash into the "barrier," it blasted directly at her.

Archer's full-power pseudo-spiral sword burst power is far superior to that of [Unobstructed Vision].

The attack, which allows for "eyes to be everywhere," has already disrupted the energy distribution of the force field.

The sudden burst of power from the pseudo-spiral sword caused the force field to vibrate violently.

At that moment, Artoria's lance arrived simultaneously. Seeing Archer's perfect timing, Artoria couldn't help but leap onto her horse and praise him.
"Good teamwork! Break through!!"

As they spoke, the golden [Rungomniad] suddenly thrust, piercing through the already violently shaking force field.

With the imaginary protective field broken, the disguise of the Heroic Spirit Chadwick Base was instantly exposed.

As the imaginary energy enveloping it disappeared, a steel fortress riddled with cannon barrels appeared before everyone's eyes.

The sudden appearance of such a steel fortress had no effect on the battle-hardened Artoria and Archer.

It had no impact on the army of fans of the Memory Domain meme who had already become fans of the King.

However, Sand Gold, who was following Artoria, was really startled.

Of the three present, he understood geniuses best and feared them most, so without hesitation, he took out the gold dust, ascended to heaven, and began chanting prayers.
"I'll place my bets, I'll gamble, I'll win."

I let fate turn its wheel, I gamble everything, and I survive by traversing life-or-death situations.

Everything is dedicated to—the King of Amber!!!

As the prayer was recited, the eerie gold dust made its grand entrance.

After transforming, Sand Gold's first action was to shield Charging Artoria and the hundreds of [Rage Shedding Shells] that served as assault cavalry.

Because the muzzle of the cannon on the opposite fortress has already started to light up.

Almost the instant the Sand Gold shield was completed, dozens of beams of light swept across Artoria's charging troops, and the explosions instantly covered the battlefield.

However, before the flames of the explosion had subsided, Artoria led hundreds of "Amethyst Dinosaurs" out of the flames.

Protected by the gold dust shields, the vanguard cavalry unit remained completely unharmed.

Only the infantry unit in the rear, the Memory Domain Meme [My Heart Is Shattered], lost over a hundred units.

However, this type of memory domain meme, like the "Everywhere You Look" meme, numbers in the thousands, so it is not afraid of this loss.

Moreover, a small number of the memory realm memes in the team, namely "What is hidden in the mirror," have already begun to transform.

Dozens of the extraterrestrial flames/ices they conjured suddenly appeared in the army and began to suppress the enemy's turrets with firepower in coordination with [Ubiquitous Vision].

At the same time, Archer also began calling out names with his pseudo-spiral sword, which had base power.

The gold dust even summoned giant dice to smash the turret.

Clearly, most of Chadwick's mechanical forces were drawn away by the Star Train crew.

After all, there are many people on that side, and the consequences would be unimaginable if they were to breach the fortress.

Therefore, when Artoria launched her high-speed attack, the defending troops were unable to return in a short period of time.

It can only be said that Chadwick, the Heroic Spirit, was indeed a genius, but even geniuses don't know everything.

Chadwick, the hero, clearly lacked experience in troop deployment and defensive warfare.

Judging from the current progress, barring any unforeseen circumstances, once Artoria's feint attack penetrates the fortress, it will turn into a full-scale assault.

After all, the steel fortress itself was not strong enough to withstand Artoria's anti-city Noble Phantasm, "Shining Spear of the End."

Once the city falls, Artoria will lead her army in, and the defeat of the Heroic Spirit Chadwick will only be a matter of time.

However, it's impossible without unexpected events.

Just as Artoria led her army to launch a surprise attack on the fortress, two fiery meteors fell directly from the sky and struck their path.

These two fireballs seemed to carry a force capable of tearing apart stars, and the terrifying shockwave caused [Rage Shedding Shell]'s charge to pause momentarily.

It even cracked the outer wall of Chadwick Fortress.

Amidst the flames, two Grammer cavalry slowly rose, the one without a cloak raising its hand towards Artoria, who was still charging forward.
"Rider, depart now. No one will be hurt."

The person who said this was naturally Firefly. Clearly, the collaboration between the Star Core Hunter and the Heroic Spirit Chadwick was not yet over.

Right now, the fireflies are helping the heroic spirit Chadwick guard the fortress.

In fact, Firefly knew that Artoria was a Danlei Heroic Spirit.

After all, Silver Wolf must know that Danlei takes Artoria around everywhere.

Unless Eriol explicitly states that Danlei's identity as a Heroic Spirit cannot be revealed to Liuying, Silver Wolf would never betray his teammate like this.

Therefore, Firefly didn't really want to fight Artoria.

Her presence proves that Dan Lei is here as well. The end for the heroic spirit Chadwick is only a matter of time.

At this point, engaging in a death battle with Artoria would mean either winning and facing the big boss Danlei directly, or losing and having no further developments—it's not worth it no matter how you look at it.

However, compared to confronting Xing head-on, Liu Ying would rather fight Artoria.

Because she felt guilty when she saw Xing, she wanted to go up to him, take off her armor, and reveal her identity.

Unfortunately, while Firefly didn't want to fight, Artoria wouldn't let her off the hook.

This is the first time Dan Lei has assigned himself a combat mission since he was summoned.

Artoria, who had been itching to get things done, insisted that she had to get it done.

Therefore, Artoria completely ignored the Master mecha's words and, using the momentum of her charge, [Longominiad] flashed with golden light and stabbed directly at the Heroic Spirit mecha.

However, Artoria did not expect that the opposing Heroic Spirit was exceptionally strong and fought with a rather reckless style.

In an instant, his ribbon-trimmed armor transformed into a massively larger version of the same heavy armor. He clasped his hands together, flames erupting from the thrusters on his back, and caught [Lungominiad] directly with his hands.

The Grammer Knights are a collective entity based on the concept of the Grammer Knights.

Therefore, its heroic spirit form's mechanical armor, layered with the lingering resentment of countless victims, is no less powerful than any legendary armor.

The not-fully-liberated [Lungominiad] failed to break through the heavy armor of the Grammer cavalry and was caught by them with his bare hands.

As it received the [Longominiad], a flash of white light appeared on its shoulder, and two shoulder cannons suddenly appeared, pointing directly at Artoria on horseback.

However, neither of these cannons had a chance to fire.

Catching a charging thrust from [Rungominiad] with bare hands seems absurd, but it was just a basic attack from [Rungominiad].

When Artoria saw that her weapon was being controlled, she immediately chanted...

"Beyond the sky, rushing to the earth. It is the wedge of light standing at the end of the world! — Shining in the spear of the end!"

Artoria shows no mercy here, unleashing her Noble Phantasm without a word. Although she didn't fully release all thirteen restraints, it was still [Rungomniad].

Suddenly, the [Lungominiad] burst into a bright light, and a single beam of light blasted the heavily armored Grammer cavalry into the steel fortress behind them. The secondary explosion destroyed nearly one-fifth of the main structure.

The [Longominiad] in Artoria's hand is a pillar of light that fixes the surface of the world. Its power is unleashed at almost zero distance, and no matter how strong the armor of the Grammer Iron Cavalry is, it will be blasted into dust.

However, when the shattered memory dissipated, the heavily armored Grammer cavalry, which had been reduced to scrap metal, suddenly disappeared from the ruins, and then another intact Firefly V Royal Guard cavalry spawned in its place.

Then, it stood up from the ruins and spoke in a mechanical voice similar to Sam's.
"We are the Grammer Riders, weapons born for war."

We are a collective, united as one, yet one person can also form an army.

For Grammer! For Her Majesty the Queen!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, countless Grammer cavalry of various types instantly appeared around the Firefly Type V Royal Guard.

Until the army of Artoria's memory domain was surrounded.

The troops were surrounded, and the situation on the battlefield deteriorated rapidly.

However, Artoria laughed as she watched this scene.
"Oh, this is really interesting. Summoning a certain group as Heroic Spirits is meaningless. Do we need to defeat and destroy the concept directly?"

It's rare to see a Noble Phantasm that breaks down a collective concept into individual Heroic Spirits that can be summoned continuously.

However, now that I've summoned this army, if I were to defeat it, I'd have essentially defeated the very concept of the Grammer Cavalry.

Regarding this question, the imperial guard of the army, the iron cavalry, was summoned.

"This is only a small part of the Grammer Cavalry. We are born to fight, and as long as one rider lives, we are not dead."

"Rider, I'll show you what the Grammer Cavalry is all about!!"

After saying that, he took out a palm-sized launch button, pressed it without hesitation, and said...
"Agreement approved, scorched earth operation to be implemented!! — Space-based planet-destroying missile!!"

The space-based planet-destroying missile, featured in the animated short film "Ember of Grammer," is a superweapon capable of destroying a planet.

Of course, the so-called destruction of a planet here should only refer to the destruction of its surface ecosystem, not the direct blasting of the planet.

After all, in the animation, this thing only killed one queen insect with one shot, and it didn't even manage to completely wipe out the insect swarm on the planet's surface.

However, now that this thing has been transformed into a Noble Phantasm, it is more than capable of wiping out Artoria's Memoir army with a single shot.

If Artoria herself didn't use her Noble Phantasm to counter the power, she wouldn't be able to survive either.

Fortunately, Artoria still had the gold dust. When he saw the Grammer cavalry press something, he immediately began to mobilize the power of preserving destiny from the foundation stone, preparing to activate the shield and at least protect Artoria.

Otherwise, if Dan Lei returns and finds that his heroic spirit is gone, he will definitely be in big trouble.

However, just as Sand Gold was about to shield Artoria, a soft white light suddenly emanated from the lance that Artoria had raised high.

Then, a boy wielding a shield, whom I had never seen before, suddenly appeared, stepped over the gold dust, and said...

"Leave this to me. Noble Phantasm, unfold... Manifest! The ideal city that is now far away!"

A pure white city wall unfolded as the boy's shield appeared. A space-based planet-destroying missile struck it, and after a brief stalemate, it bounced back and pierced through the sky.

At the golden moment, at the World's End Tavern, the celestial-based planet-destroying missile, whose power had been largely weakened by the memory barrier, struck with exceptional precision, physically waking all the Fools in the tavern and simultaneously opening an unusually clear skylight in the tavern.

The scene returns to the battlefield. The boy who just unleashed his Noble Phantasm, the Celestial Annihilation Bullet, lands easily on the ground and bows to Artoria's retreating figure.

“Your Majesty, Galahad has come in response to the summons.”

At this moment, the white light disappeared, and twelve new Heroic Spirits suddenly appeared around Artoria, including the boy.

The Knight King in the perfect ending, after transforming into the Lion King in the singularity, has the ability to summon the Knights of the Round Table.

Therefore, Artoria now also possesses similar abilities.

Moreover, a single move could gather all twelve of them.

Artoria nodded in satisfaction as she watched her twelve knights respond to her summons, and then announced...
"Here lies the Holy Lance, and here also lie the Knights of the Round Table."

"Gentlemen, this time our opponents are the Grammer Iron Cavalry of the Star Sea. Let us join hands and win victory once again!!"

After Artoria made her announcement, the twelve Knights of the Round Table simultaneously raised their weapons and responded to the king's command in their own ways.

Lancelot, Gawain, Mordred, Tristan, and Percival immediately activated their Noble Phantasms and unleashed them upon the Grammer Cavalry.

　The Grammer Knights' Noble Phantasm mentioned in the text is the same as the attack that destroyed the Mother Worm in the animated short film "Embers of Grammer".

　　It is described in the second story of the Firefly.

　　Like a streak of light, she weaved through the dense swarm of insects, charging alongside the other iron cavalry toward the giant silver stinger's mouthparts. In her final moments, as she was devoured by the mother insect, she closed her eyes and detonated a fireball powerful enough to destroy a planet—

　　We definitely can't call this Noble Phantasm a fireball here.

　　Therefore, the author created a Noble Phantasm called the Celestial Annihilation Bullet.
