Davidian's Holy Grail War

"Of course, everyone's holding their breath. Aside from those few, the other knights all want to prove their excellence, and the competition between them never stops."

Artoria said this, seemingly quite happy, but she was actually worried. She feared that this contest would veer off in an uncontrollable direction, after all, her subordinates were all strange individuals.

Chapter 107 Making an example of someone, but the opponent is a dragon.

Sure enough, news soon arrived from Rome. Lucius had gathered Genoese, Doscani, and Lombard warriors, sixteen kings, fifty giants, and led an immense army to destroy all of England in one fell swoop.

Davidian laughed when he heard the news; it seemed the Roman emperor was indeed very serious.

"Percival! Gather all the brothers, we must prepare for battle!"

Davidian summoned Percival and ordered him to assemble all the warriors of the First Legion.

This is a major event; the Roman Empire is going all out to make an example of Britain. Although he believes Britain will win, this victory will likely be hard-won.

Meanwhile, Winchenrib ran into his tent and delivered the second letter of the day.

When David opened the letter, he couldn't help but crumple it into a ball. Winnie-Rib could clearly see the anger in his eyes.

The King of Denmark, the King of Ireland, the King of Were, the King of Soles, and the King of Lentes launched a joint invasion of Britain.

These five men, having heard of Rome's plan to invade Britain, also banded together and came from North Wales.

David was furious. These shameless bastards had pulled this trick on him.

"Lord Lancelot, Lord Ke, and Lord Agravien have already set off to meet with King Perinoa, and they will confront the five kings in the city of Cado."

While they are fighting, we must contend with the Roman army's expedition against Britain. We must hurry; I never imagined the situation would deteriorate to this extent.

David rubbed his temples. He hadn't expected the battle to turn out so badly. Those despicable guys actually came to take advantage of the chaos.

The First Legion quickly completed its preparations and embarked on this expedition. They reached Sandwich at top speed and eventually landed at the port of Bafley in Flanders. Davidian immediately ordered the entire First Legion to set up camp there to prepare for the approaching Roman coalition.

Soon after, the Roman allied forces arrived, and the two sides faced off from a distance. Looking at the massive camp in the distance, Davidian sensed the difficulty of this war.

The opponent is very strong. Although Rome is currently teetering on the brink of collapse, its former glory remains, and winning will probably not be so easy.

Meanwhile, Lucius, who was personally leading the expedition, also saw the well-organized military camp in the distance and the banner of the evil dragon, a banner he had heard of before.

It must be Davidian Slyrek, the dragon knight from Britain. The people from Britain arrived very quickly, how interesting.

"Rome will not be afraid of such a challenge. Everything in this world should belong to Rome. Send an envoy; Rome wants to meet that dragon knight."

Lucius gave this order to his attendants, somewhat curious about the dragon knight. If possible, he too should belong to Rome.

Not long after, David, in his military camp, received a message from a Roman messenger. It said that Emperor Lucius wanted to see him, and the meeting place was right in the middle of the two armies' camps.

Davidian shook his head. What was Lucius thinking? Were all Roman emperors like this?

"Go back now, and please tell Emperor Lucius that I will be there soon."

He sent the messengers back, telling them he would definitely go. After all, it was just a meeting, and it would be somewhat embarrassing not to go.

He then glanced at Bedivere, Percival, and Bowes in his tent. "Alright, I'll take these three with me."

"Winzenrib, you stay here and have the entire army prepare. If anything unexpected happens, they should immediately come to our aid. Although I don't think Emperor Lucius has any ill intentions, it's still good to be prepared."

David was rather cautious, and Wincenrib nodded to indicate that he would arrange everything.

Then Davidian and three others left his camp and came to the center of the two armies' camps. The four of them could see Lucius and his entourage riding out of the camp from afar.

There were slightly more people on his side than on David's side, but still no more than ten. Clearly, when the other party said they wanted to meet, they meant they really intended to meet.

The other party came to within about ten paces of David and his companions, then dismounted and walked to within about five paces of them.

Davidian began to scrutinize Lucius's face; this man was definitely a different kind of king from Artoria.

He was the emperor, without a doubt, but he was far more flamboyant and cruel than Artoria.

This person is a formidable opponent.

Davidian bowed first and then said, "Your Majesty Emperor Lucius, what is the reason you wish to see me? We are complete strangers, and there is nothing between us to say."

"Rome summoned you because it wanted to see you. You are better than Rome thought. Come, become a part of Rome. You, and your sword, should all become Rome."

Lucius wore an arrogant yet genuine smile, and Davidian couldn't understand why these two emotions could appear on the same face.

But this person was absolutely serious; he genuinely wanted to win Davidian over to his side.

"Please forgive my refusal, Emperor of Rome. Are you insulting me? My loyalty to my king is not something you can shake."

Davian wasn't angry; he simply stated the facts. Lucius was indeed capable as emperor, but unfortunately, Artoria had already taken root firmly in Davian's heart.

There's no way that David would switch sides... and if he were to switch, it would only be to Morgan Pendragon.

"Then let Britain become part of Rome again. Rome will crush the First Legion of Britain, proving Rome's strength and proving that Rome is still Rome."

After speaking, Lucius led his men back to their camp. Davidian shook his head; this battle was unavoidable.

He returned to his camp and saw a group of civilians there, with Stephen talking to them.

Davidian called Wincenrib over and asked what was going on. Wincenrib told him that these were locals from Flanders who wanted to join the First Legion in the battle against Lucius.

Clearly, they chose Britain over Rome.

David smiled wryly before approaching the men. He personally persuaded them not to go to war and arranged for them to leave Flanders for Britain or France.

David told them that he appreciated their good intentions, but it would be better to leave the military affairs to professionals like them.

Don't lose your precious lives because of this war; their lives should be used for other, more valuable things.

It took Davidian a lot of effort to finally appease these people and get them to agree to go to Britain and settle down there.

After they left, Davidian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Really... in this day and age, it's so difficult to let others live a good life.

Chapter 108 Struggle Against Rome

Bose was very curious. At this time, there was strength in numbers, so why not let those people stay and fight together? Wouldn't that be a good thing?

However, while David was calming those people down, Boss wisely chose to remain silent.

It wasn't until the five of them returned to David's tent that Bouss finally voiced his doubts.

The other four laughed, but Bedivere and the other two left the task of answering the question to David, letting David personally explain to Boss why.

"It's very simple. Because no matter how beautiful the flowers are, I would not let a young child run to the edge of a cliff to pick them without stopping him."

Similarly, I will not send a group of civilians to face Rome's powerful coalition without proper training and adequate mental preparation.

We must discard this naive and ignorant idea and do the right thing. Now do you understand why we must do everything in our power to save more people?

Davidian told Bose this most basic and self-evident truth. Only then did Bose have a sudden realization: so that's how it is, this is the right thing to do, this is what they should do.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You'll understand this sooner or later."

David smiled and changed the subject, then began discussing tomorrow's battle with the others.

Since Lucius intends to subdue them, he will inevitably wage war against them.

Davidian now understood Lucius's meaning: Rome was now in decline, so it was necessary to make Rome strong and to make Rome look like the Rome it once was.

Even though Rome today is no longer the Rome of the past.

"Bedewell, you'll be with Percival tomorrow. The Sixth Company has been converted into a cavalry company. They've managed to scrape together this little bit of resources, and you can't afford to squander it all. Understand?"

Davidian began to deploy tomorrow's battle plan. The enemy outnumbered them by a large margin, but he didn't know how many men Lucius would send for the first battle.

"Winchenrib will be in charge of command during the war. Boss... you'll come with me, be careful."

Wenqinlibu, I organized the second, third, fourth, and fifth Dalian into a commando team.

Before Lord Tristan can fully assemble the archer forces and deploy them to the battlefield, let the 10th Company temporarily serve as archers.

Tristan was originally supposed to arrive here with Davian's First Legion, but because a group of archers from Kemreid needed Tristan to integrate, he had to come as part of the second wave of troops.

Once the battle plans were complete, Davidian signaled for everyone to go back and rest, preparing for the upcoming battle. The others nodded in agreement and immediately left his tent to complete their assigned tasks.

David sighed. A storm was brewing. After such a period of peace, this is what happened.

Britain was once again dragged into the flames of war. Fortunately, after several years, Britain was still relatively united. Faced with this foreign invasion, many lords contributed their troops to support Artoria.

But things are much better now than when they first suppressed the whole of Britain.

Perhaps one day he will allow himself to mourn the dead, plan for the future, and create a better future; but until then, he will fight until these wars are quelled and everyone who has wronged Britain pays the price for their sins.

He picked up the Dark Sword, stepped out of his tent, and began to personally inspect the entire First Legion. David's personal inspection inspired everyone in the First Legion.

The mere presence of Davian was enough to boost the morale of the entire First Legion. Davian had always been adept at sharing weal and woe; he had even gone to Camelot before he had his own room.

Others, such as Gawain and Lancelot, already had their own residences in the palace. Davidian, however, continued to live in the military camp.

Given his achievements, he should have been the first person besides Artoria to obtain his own room in the palace.

But he declined this small honor. He didn't want to stand out or give the other knights any unfair impression.

Many people thought he was an oddball, and David Ann understood why: his values ​​were so different from those of people in this era.

He dared to say that throughout Britain, the only people truly fighting for a future together with the people were himself and Artoria.

Others have been educated in this era, and even if they are kind to ordinary people, they certainly don't see ordinary people as the same as themselves. This is a matter of education, and David won't say anything about it.

Even among his colleagues at the Round Table, only a few could truly understand him and the King.

Most people are now captivated by the king's bravery, integrity, and uprightness, and look forward to seeing him act as king.
