Davidian's Holy Grail War

The inner qualities I could see matched the outer appearance perfectly. This person in front of me was so honest!

Or is it his talent? To respond with the most appropriate emotions at the most crucial moments, never causing any sadness to others?

At this opportune moment, Oberon coughed twice, and Ritsuka released her embrace accordingly.

Oberon immediately teased from the side, saying that if he hugged her like that for a while longer, Caster would probably become completely obsessed with Ritsuka and turn into a wicked fairy. After all, it wouldn't be good if he had the idea of ​​monopolizing Ritsuka.

"I would never have such thoughts! Oberon, you die!" Caster swung the Staff of Choice and punched Oberon directly, and the others burst into laughter.

"This is great, the atmosphere in our team is wonderful." Ritsuka smiled as she boarded the carriage, gesturing for the others to come up as well; they didn't have time to waste now.

They should hurry back to Lentinium; Bogzath and Woodworth might already be preparing to besiege the city.

"Ah~ sorry, I have something to take care of. After all, our combat strength isn't enough right now. So I'm thinking of going to find something that might be of great help to us."

Oberon's sudden words surprised everyone. What could possibly help them against two Dumbbells and thousands of Fang Clan soldiers at this point? That seemed unlikely.

“Think about it, Fujimaru Ritsuka can’t summon a Pan-Human History Servant in Britain, right? But… David is a Pan-Human History Servant, so according to this logic, maybe we can use the magic circle that Morgan used to summon him in the first place?”

Everyone was surprised to hear this, especially Ritsuka. Did he actually have the opportunity to summon a Servant in Britain?

"Can that magic circle still be found now? Two thousand years have passed! It's probably impossible to find it now due to changes in the environment!"

Da Vinci was deeply surprised. How could such a thing still be found? That's outrageous!

"If I don't give it a try, I'll have absolutely no chance! Okay, I'm off! You guys wait for my good news!"

After saying that, Oberon transformed into his flying form and rode his closest insect fairy, Blanca, towards Orkney. Everyone could only hope that he would bring good news.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Lentinium, the battle had already begun. Percival's return was fortunate enough; otherwise, Lentinium might have fallen today.

The Fairy of Fangs are indeed not good at siege warfare; open field battles are their forte.

But they outnumbered us! A full five thousand Fang Fairies, along with armed human soldiers, launched a siege!

If it weren't for the lack of siege equipment, they would probably have already broken through the city gates and entered Lentinium to wreak havoc.

Fortunately, the defensive supplies inside Lentinium were quite plentiful, and with the financial assistance provided by Oberon, Percival made many preparations for the day that would eventually come.

Coupled with his own extraordinary martial prowess, they managed to hold off the Queen's army's attack even without Bogzath and Woodworth personally engaging in combat.

The battle continued until dusk, when the Queen's army finally chose to retreat.

Their casualties weren't unacceptable yet, but there was no need to continue fighting. Those who needed treatment should get treatment, and those who needed rest should rest. In any case, their current advantage was simply too great.

The defenders inside Lentinium also suffered considerable losses, though much less than the Queen's army outside.

The problem is that they have already consumed a considerable amount of defensive resources. If this continues, the best outcome will probably be that they can only hold out for about seven days.

Ritsuka and his companions bypassed the Queen's army's encampment and secretly entered the interior of Luntinium through the east gate. When they entered the fortress, they were all taken aback.

They've only been gone for two days, how come there are so many more people in Lentinium? Even if I'd heard Da Vinci mention that refugees from Norwich had joined the Round Table Army from Salisbury, this number is just too many.

"The number of people has visibly increased!" Caster couldn't help but exclaim. Habertrot, who had come to welcome them back, also smiled and said that many people had poured in from the east and south gates early this morning, which was an unprecedented sight.

"After all, you defeated that fairy knight. Even I was surprised when I heard the news!"

Chapter 374 You can run away, but you can't run away all of them.

"Everyone is finally back! Although I know there's no need to worry, it's still great to see you all safe and sound."

Percival also stepped out from the crowd and stood before them, and it was truly gratifying to see them return so well.

However, after scanning the area, he noticed something was wrong. Where was Oberon? But the others explained that Oberon had something special to take care of and would be back later.

Percival nodded to indicate that he understood, and Ritsuka, in her delight, inquired about the current personnel situation in Lentinium.

As he expected, the volunteers were from Norwich and those who applied to be transferred to Lentinium. However, even though it looked crowded, only half of them were actually accepted, and the rest of the volunteers remained in Norwich.

"That's right, we let them into the city under cover of darkness last night, but that's all we can do for now. The Queen's army has also started sending out patrols, so we'll have to wait until after this battle is over to do the rest."

The speaker was Peperonchino, who stepped out from the side. Ritsuka immediately felt joy upon seeing him. No wonder they were able to reach Lentinium with the help of fairies; Peperonchino must have done a lot in the process.

"After all, there's a strong sense of impending doom in the air right now, and it would be too boring to just stay in Norwich, so I came here~"

Pepe noticed Ritsuka's joy and offered a brief explanation. Ritsuka thanked him again, but Pepe laughed and said that it would be too formal to say thank you now.

Not to mention that he actually has his own goals, and to put it bluntly, his current actions are just using the Chaldea group as bait.

Once the defensive battle begins, Ritsuka will be unable to leave.

"If the target location is clear, Belial will inevitably appear. I don't know why, but I just know what he's looking at. After all, what that guy likes most is the moment when others relax after a hard-fought battle."

After Pepe's reminder, Ritsuka remembered that Belial had made his move the moment Wodim blocked Morgan's Holy Lance.

That guy strikes when someone makes an opening, making him a very troublesome opponent.

"So you're all in cahoots, huh? Well, it's good to have one less problem to deal with. Don't go too far, okay? If you die now, Norwich will lose an ally."

Upon hearing his words, Pepe immediately perked up. He said that being cared for so much by Muramasa-chan made his trip to Britain worthwhile, but Muramasa simply replied that it was just business, after all, he was now the bodyguard of the Child of Prophecy.

Peipei laughed and said, "Let's just say that's how it is. Let's get down to business."

He wanted to talk to everyone about what happened after the prophecy.

Curious about what he wanted to say, everyone followed him to the operations room. Once everyone had arrived, Pepe began to explain what she wanted to say, which was about the Lostbelt itself.

"This Lostbelt is different from other Lostbelts; it won't disappear even if the Imaginary Tree is cut off."

This is no longer an anomaly cut from pan-human history, but a world of the same intensity as pan-human history, not a figment of imagination about a new human history.

It's quite ironic that imaginary fairies became part of human history.

Pepe explained the matter clearly, and Da Vinci agreed with his point of view. Now this place is also a Lostworld outside the Lostbelt.

The Imaginary Tree of Britain was burned down during the attack on Olympus, but it did not stop functioning at that time.

"I'm afraid that even earlier, in the first year of the Queen's calendar when Morgan ruled Britain, before 2017, this Lostbelt had already broken free from fantasy. Therefore, it seems that what made this Lostbelt possible was not the Imaginary Tree, but rather Morgan's actions."

But so what? Once Morgan is defeated, the Lostbelt will return to normal. Then it will face the same fate as the other Lostbelts—being pruned and controlled.

Da Vinci shared his thoughts, but Pepe simply shook his head and offered his own explanation.

Britain itself would certainly be like that, but the inhabitants would be different. In other Lostbelts, the fate of the people living there is also predetermined, but this Lostbelt is different.

Fairies born after at least the Queen's Era will not disappear even if they leave the Lostbelt.

"Because their intensity is the same as that of things in pan-human history, that's the difference I'm trying to point out."

Upon hearing Pepe's words, Ritsuka's eyes widened instinctively. Did this mean that the fairies in this Lostbelt could leave? Then wouldn't Caster be able to leave as well?

He looked directly at Caster, but Caster showed no emotion whatsoever. She remained as calm as ever, which puzzled Ritsuka. Logically, she should have felt joy, shouldn't she?

"Humans created and born on this land of Britain can only live on this land, but the fairies of the Fairy Kingdom can migrate to the other side of human history, which means there is a future where they can work together. Is that what you mean?"

Da Vinci understood his thoughts and also spoke for Ritsuka. But Castor just stared blankly at her and asked what she meant. Ritsuka, however, could tell that Castor was just pretending; she knew exactly what was going on.

"In other words, even if this Lostbelt disappears after defeating Morgan, you can survive as long as you go to the outside world. Although we still need to figure out how to cross that Wall of Light."

Da Vinci patiently explained, and Pepe also suggested that Castor should try a new life in the Pan-Human History area.

She is free to make her own choices, and in fact, Castor can now give up his status as the Child of Prophecy and go to the outside world.

“As long as Chaldea’s Storm Border exists, your so-called second life is waiting for you~” Pepe saw through Castor’s thoughts and gave his proposal, but this was quite a shock to the others.

“You’ve made a very impressive statement, Pepe. And you did it right in front of Percival.”

Da Vinci was also a little unhappy. Usually, Peipei was a very observant person, but now she would say something like this, which was too strange.

Pepe, however, didn't seem to care. Instead, he continued, "That's why I'm saying this, precisely because I'm in front of Percival."

I've told Percival about Pan-Human History and Lostbelts, Chaldea and the Imaginary Tree before.

That's why I'm saying all this to you; to avoid leaving any future trouble, I believe I'm doing this in my own way to maintain fairness.

Everyone now understood his meaning; this was indeed a potential problem. If they only found out about it later, both sides would likely regret it and resent each other for not speaking out. It was better to say it now than for it to explode later.

But this statement is also quite cruel. After Pepe gave the answer that some people could be saved, she also confirmed that others could not be saved at all. This is reality.

Chapter 375 All in Action

Everyone could only remain silent and look at Percival, wondering if he would feel resentful upon hearing such words, or if he had actually had other ideas but had been keeping them to himself.

Being stared at like that by everyone, even the experienced Percival couldn't help but feel a pang of embarrassment. So he could only say:

"Well... my knowledge is not as extensive as yours, so I can only indulge in some naive speculation... but if Castor wants to deny his status as the Child of Prophecy, I think that's acceptable too."

"Huh? Is that really possible? You even formed a Round Table Army for this!"

Now it was Custer's turn to be utterly astonished. Just how noble was this person? How could he sacrifice himself for others to such an extent?

However, if Davidian were here, he would probably accept this fact quite casually; Percival is just as noble in any world.

Even David would praise him so highly, saying that he was a man more deserving of the name of paladin than himself.

"It's alright, after all, I formed the Round Table Army on my own initiative. I was neither forced by anyone nor will I force anyone."

Besides, I'm not some outstanding man who deserves to be called the captain, so Caster, you don't need to choose your own path for our sake."

At this point, Percival suddenly laughed before continuing:

"Not to mention that we now know a way for all the fairies to escape to the outside world without defeating the queen. Just knowing that such a method exists is already a huge step forward for the fairy kingdom, isn't it?"

Even with her strong personality, Caster was embarrassed by what she was told, and she began to stammer as she spoke.
