Davidian's Holy Grail War
Page 79
Gareth displayed great bravery in the battle.
She followed Davidian like a brave war wolf. If an ordinary enemy were to underestimate her because she was just a child, he would be pierced by her spear and turned into a soulless corpse.
Even Winzenrib acknowledged the child's bravery and tenacity during the battle; she was definitely a qualified warrior.
But once they got to the battlefield, the situation was completely different. Gareth was lying to the side, vomiting violently, while the other Dalian company commanders could only smile wryly, unsure of what to say.
Although she looks very cool fighting bravely on the battlefield, the way she's lying there vomiting is really pathetic.
Now, Vincent Ribb is unsure how to judge Gareth; on the battlefield, Gareth is indeed a qualified soldier.
But once they left the battlefield, experiencing war for the first time and killing for the first time, she was clearly still a child. What was he supposed to do? Should he send her away or not?
After inspecting the entire town and confirming that there were no undetected ignition sources or lurking enemies, Davidian also saw Gareth in this state.
He smiled, took a cloth, and went over to wipe all the filth around Gareth's mouth.
"I'm sorry, Lord David. I made a rather embarrassing mistake."
Gareth was vomiting so much that tears and snot streamed down her face. She had never imagined that taking someone's life would cause her such distress after seeing those corpses.
Davidian simply shook his head and said calmly, "No, Gareth. You were very brave today. You proved your courage and fearlessness with your actions. I acknowledge you... Would you like to hear a story from the past?"
Gareth's eyes widened. Davidian was actually going to tell a newcomer like her those little-known stories from the past? What an honor! Ordinary soldiers would never encounter such a thing.
So she nodded vigorously to show that she really wanted to hear. After receiving her affirmation, David took her to a clean place and began to tell her those untold stories from the past:
"That was many years ago, probably more than ten years ago. I had just embarked on my journey and knew nothing at all. At that time, your mother encountered danger in the woods."
The enemy were four Saxon soldiers. I had never killed anyone before; I was still a greenhorn. But I couldn't bear to see your mother being persecuted by them, so I took action.”
"You defeated them all?"
Davidian wasn't annoyed by her interruption: "Yes, I acted quickly. I killed all four of them in the most ruthless way I could at the time; it was my first time killing someone."
Blood even splattered on my face, but I didn't have time to react. I didn't feel anything then, but by nightfall, it was incredibly embarrassing.
I had a nightmare and woke up terrified. The faces of those dead people kept appearing in my dream, and I couldn't fall back asleep. Thankfully, your mother was sound asleep then; she probably doesn't know about my embarrassing behavior.”
Actually, she knew. She had been watching you all night; my mother told me about it.
When Gareth heard his words, he recalled the dark history that his mother had told him about David's past, and his distress over having just killed someone eased considerably.
After all, David had been through similar experiences, and he wasn't completely unaffected.
"So don't feel ashamed. Your bravery on the battlefield today has been recognized by the warriors of the Glorious Eternal Legion, and by me personally. From now on, you will be my second-in-command. Do your best. I look forward to your performance."
David stood up, ruffled her hair, and walked away. As he went, he muttered to himself:
"Go to sleep! Children need to go to bed early, understand?"

Hearing David's words, Gareth laughed and replied loudly, "Yes!"
Chapter 139-Awakening
Although they captured the town, David and his men inflicted few casualties. The enemy had already withdrawn before they arrived, leaving the town completely deserted.
The Saxons had originally intended to set the entire town ablaze and drag the warriors of the Glorious Perpetual Legion down with them. But the Legion's warriors, with their superior fighting prowess, thwarted this plan.
However, what annoyed David was not the foreign race, but several of his own lords.
Artoria's army had barely set out when several lords along the marching route rebelled. Davidian didn't know whether to berate their stupidity or praise their bravery; what utter foolishness!
Such a rebellion was easily suppressed by our king, and all the property of the rebellious lord and his followers was confiscated.
Artoria showed mercy by not exterminating the entire rebels, but only executing the ringleaders. After the king's army left, Camelot's officials would naturally take over the administration of the rebellious region.
Such things only made David sigh, because these people still wouldn't truly understand the King.
To them, Artoria was merely a useful tool, a file.
Because of this, David always recalls his past thought of eliminating all the lords in Britain and presenting a complete and unified Britain to our king.
However, he buried these chaotic thoughts deep in his heart, because Lancelot, Gawain, and King Perinoa had now cooperated with David to drive all the Saxon tribes to the vicinity of Barton Mountain.
This group of barbarians, whom the Britons considered utterly despicable, no longer fled; this was the place they had chosen for their final battle.
Meanwhile, Davidian merged with the other three armies, and Lord Percival returned to the Glorious Perpetual Legion.
When he saw young Gareth, he was shocked. He almost went to confront Davidian in anger, asking how such a child could be allowed to join the Legion.
Gareth did everything she could to stop him, indicating that she herself wanted to stay there.
Furthermore, the other company commanders also expressed that Gareth was a noble knight and a brave warrior, and that her staying here was absolutely in line with her own expectations and status.
Only after being persuaded by a group of company commanders and even Winchenrib did Percival give up the idea of arguing with David.
However, when Gao Wenqing saw Gareth, he was surprised. Who allowed her to run away? She was just a child, and she was about to go to the battlefield?
Gao Wenqing also wanted to confront Davidian, even though he was the lord of Camelot. But for his sister's sake, Gao Wen felt he had to say something.
"Silly brother! Don't bother Lord David! He's very busy!"
Gareth's three sentences left Gawain stunned and speechless. He didn't even know what to say, and could only slink away in embarrassment.
If it were Gahoris or Agguvin, they wouldn't have said much. Davidian also knew that accepting Gareth would be criticized by these people.
But he didn't care; if Gareth wanted to come, let her come. Like all the company commanders under his command, he also thought Gareth was a qualified soldier, and he himself was inexplicably very close to Gareth.
A few days later, our king finally arrived. The challenge from the alien race also arrived, and after reading it, Artoria sent the messenger back to report.
This was the alien race's last desperate struggle, but she was confident. She had the extraordinary Knights of the Round Table and Davidian. She was certain she could win; she was certain she could defeat the alien race.
"Gentlemen, this is my new recruit—Palamedes. I have decided that if his contributions this time are significant enough, he will also have a place at the Round Table. After all, he can fight Lord Tristan for hundreds of rounds."
Artoria introduced a formidable warrior to everyone, and they all nodded in satisfaction at this man named Palamedes. To be able to fight Lord Tristan for hundreds of rounds was itself a testament to his strength.
But David's attention was entirely focused on Lord Tristan, who was standing on the other side of the king. His expression was not relaxed; rather, he seemed to have something to say but couldn't.
Davidian couldn't understand why Lord Tristan, who was usually very strong despite his melancholic demeanor, had become like this.
However, Davidian didn't plan to ask what was going on right now; he'd wait until the battle was over. Maybe it was just marital discord?
Yes, that's very possible. After all, if you have her in your heart and another woman in your arms, it's easy for problems to arise.
"Tomorrow we will go to war, gentlemen! This time, we will drive the Saxons out of Britain completely!"
Artoria gave the group of high-ranking officers their final orders before the decisive battle: they would win!
All the officers responded to the King with the utmost enthusiasm, all believing that this would be an easy victory.
But when the second day of war arrived, many people felt fear.
The number and momentum of the Saxons far exceeded their expectations, with over 120,000 Saxon warriors gathering on this battlefield.
They numbered a mere 25,000, making this an extremely unfair battle.
David realized that the other armies probably hadn't fought any significant battles either.
The Saxons were clever; they knew the previous wars were unnecessary. If they could combine their forces and crush King Arthur's entire army in one decisive battle, they could reclaim everything they had lost.
With no way out and a desire to reclaim everything lost, the sheer number of people fueled their momentum.
The terrifying sense of oppression emanating from the mountains and fields made many seasoned British warriors feel that this battle might be King Arthur's only defeat, and only once in a lifetime.
The enemy has too many people; there's no way we can win.
But Davidian was not afraid. On the contrary, he felt that this might be their real battle, the most necessary battle they should fight.
Therefore, he stepped out of the glorious, eternally standing legion and addressed all the warriors with an unimaginable, powerful will:
"Sometimes we sprout in the sunlight, sometimes we linger in the shadows."
"Over the past ten years, we have made sacrifices and shed blood time and time again."
"This is not for any truth or belief!"
"It's so that one day in the future, in one era, there will be no more sacrifices, no more bloodshed, no more war, and everyone in this country and on this land can live and grow up freely and brightly under the sun!"
His clear enunciation ensured that everyone in the legion could hear his every word, and this powerful influence connected the hearts of all the soldiers, uniting their beliefs into one.
The entire First Britain's Glorious Eternal Garrison Legion was fully awakened at this moment!
"For King Arthur! For all the people of Britain!" Davidian roared, turning around and raising his dark sword high.
"For King Arthur! For Lord Camelot! For all the people of Britain!"
The Glorious Legion also raised their weapons, responding to David with their will and roar. Their decade of accumulation had truly transformed into a qualitative leap at this moment.
At this moment, the Glorious Eternal Legion shattered all the bottlenecks and truly reached their peak!
So the next moment, a magnificent white light pierced through the sky!
Chapter 140 Conveying the Voice of the Future
The army behind the Glorious Eternal Legion couldn't help but rub their eyes, unable to believe the miracle before them.
The moment the Glorious Eternal Legion finished their pre-battle oath, a blinding white light burst forth from every warrior of the entire Glorious Eternal Legion and pierced the sky.
What was going on? Apart from Merlin, no one present knew what had happened.
"What a miracle! What a beauty! How could anyone achieve such a miracle!"
