The withered forest road on the flank of the Tulifas battlefield.

A heavily modified off-road vehicle is speeding along a rugged road, accompanied by the roar of its engine.

The wheels kicked up mud, like a wild beast out of control rushing towards the heart of the war.

"Hey! Master! Go faster! The magical reaction ahead is going to shatter my helmet!"

Mordred (Red Saber), sitting in the passenger seat, had half of her body leaning out of the window, her manic face filled with excitement and anxiety.

She was dressed in heavy silver-red armor, with the visor of her helmet closed, revealing only a pair of green eyes burning with fighting spirit.

In the driver's seat, wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette, Shizi Jie Li sighed helplessly and swerved the steering wheel to avoid a crater.

"Stop rushing me, Saber. This is the limit of this beat-up car. Besides... something's not right up ahead."

Lion Jie Li narrowed his eyes.

As a top-notch magic mercenary, his intuition told him that the battlefield ahead was a meat grinder.

Golden flames (Karna) and blue sword energy (Siegfried) are clashing, while beams of light (Melsen) are shooting wildly in the sky.

But none of that matters. What matters is—

"There... there is an aura that neither of us can ignore," Shiki Jie Li said in a deep voice.

"Huh? You mean Saber from the Black Faction? That kind of stuff... I..."

Mordred's words suddenly caught in her throat.

The vehicle sped out of the woods, and a clear view suddenly opened up, revealing the entire battlefield.

Besides the two great heroes who were engaged in fierce combat, Mordred immediately spotted the few people watching from a distance.

That woman in black...

That blond man...

And there's that girl in a blue and white dress, wielding an invisible sword.

Boom!

Mordred's heart skipped a beat.

Even without wearing armor, even with a changed hairstyle, even with a softer demeanor...

But she would still recognize that face, that figure, that soul that she both longed for and hated, even if it turned to ashes!

"Father...King?"

Mordred's voice trembled.

The next second, the trembling transformed into a raging inferno and a frantic, bewildered chaos.

"parking!!!"

Mordred kicked the SUV door open.

Before Shizi Jieli could even apply the brakes, she transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, roaring as she charged toward the battlefield.

"Why are you here?! Arthur Pendragon!!!"

……

On the edge of the battlefield.

Artoria had just blocked a stray bullet from Karna for Siegfried and was preparing to catch her breath.

Suddenly, a familiar, brutal crimson lightning bolt struck from the flank.

【Clarent (The Radiant Sword of Kings)】!

"This magic..."

Artoria's pupils contracted slightly, and her body reacted instinctively.

The Wind King's barrier compressed instantly, and he parried with a backhand sword.

clang--!!!

The red demonic sword clashed violently with the invisible holy sword.

The ground cracked and a fierce wind swept through.

As the smoke cleared, Mordred's menacing helmet and visor were revealed, along with the eyes beneath them fixed intently on Artoria.

"It's you...it really is you..."

Mordred gripped her sword with both hands, gritted her teeth, and roared with a sob in her voice:

"Why?! Why are you on this bizarre battlefield?! Shouldn't you be sleeping in Avalon?!"

"Answer me, Father!"

Artoria looked at the "rebellious son" before her.

In the past, in that cycle of reincarnation at Camlan Hill, she might have felt pain, confusion, or even coldly drawn her sword against him.

But now it's different.

She endured the baptism of the Fourth Holy Grail War and was freed from the curse by Luo Chen.

She now possesses a composure she has never known before.

Mordred.

Artoria's voice was calm and clear, her sword remaining perfectly still, steadily blocking Mordred's full-force downward strike:

"Long time no see. Your swordsmanship seems to have improved considerably since then."

"Stop putting on airs like an elder!"

This bland greeting only infuriated Mordred. What she hated most was her father's "ignoring" attitude.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to prove that I am the one who..."

"Prove what?"

A large hand suddenly landed on Mordred's shoulder.

The hand was long and powerful, and carried a high temperature that made Mordred's soul tremble.

Mordred was horrified to discover that her proud magic was being forced back into her body by this man's touch.

She was like a kitten being pinched by the scruff of its neck, unable to move.

She turned her head stiffly.

What came into view was a face exactly like Artoria's, but with more defined features and a more handsome and masculine appearance.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and the vertical pupils of a red dragon.

Luo Chen stood behind her, a seemingly gentle yet domineering smile playing on his lips:

"Nice to meet you, my disobedient 'son'."

"You'll get a spanking if you swing your sword at your 'father' (Artoria)."

"Who are you?"

Mordred's brain completely shut down.

Two fathers?

One is a woman, and the other is a man?

Moreover, the "Dragon Factor" emanating from this man was so intense that it made her feel suffocated, and the oppressive force deep within her bloodline made her legs go weak.

Who I am is not important.

Luo Chen exerted a little force, lifting Mordred up and throwing her next to Artoria.

"The important thing is that the current situation is very unfavorable to you."

Mordred.

This is not over yet.

A voice that terrified Mordred even more came from behind Luo Chen.

That was the source of her nightmares, the creator of all her misfortunes and twisted nature, and the existence she dared not look directly at even after becoming a Heroic Spirit.

Morgan Le Fey.

The fairy queen removed her sunglasses, crossed her arms, and looked down at Mordred, who was slumped on the ground, with an icy gaze.

"Running around dressed like a tin can, have you not embarrassed Britain enough already?"

"Have you forgotten even the most basic kneeling etiquette when you see your mother and father?"

"Mother, Empress Dowager..."

Mordred trembled all over, and the sword in his hand clattered to the ground.

At this moment, the rebellious knight and the sole heir ceased to exist.

She was just a child trembling in fear in this hellish arena called "family of origin".

"What... what's going on?"

The Lion King Jie Li finally arrived from afar.

He looked at the scene before him:

His servant was kneeling on the ground, looking utterly bewildered.

In front of her stood several guys who looked ridiculously strong.

"Why does this look like a family portrait?" Shiki-kai Kairi's lips twitched, and the cigar in his hand fell to the ground. "How are we supposed to fight this battle? Is this some kind of family drama?"

"The Lion's Roar Separates the Realm."

Luo Chen turned his head and looked at the bewildered necromancer.

"Your servant has been conscripted."

Luo Chen pointed to Mordred on the ground:

"This child is ill-mannered. Since the parents are here, we don't need to trouble you, an outsider, to take care of the child."

"Huh?" Shizi Jieli was stunned.

"You don't want to?"

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, and Meilushin, who had just returned behind him, instantly locked onto Shizi Jieli and charged up her cannon.

"No, no, no! Please, do as you please!"

Lion Jie Li was also a seasoned veteran; he immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"Just don't kill me. Besides... it seems I can't control this child anymore."

The Command Seals were burning hot, indicating that the Servant's mental state was extremely unstable and he was completely unable to issue commands.

"very good."

Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He walked up to Mordred and extended his hand.

"Get up, Mordred."

Luo Chen looked at the knight with a confused expression:

"You want to inherit the throne? You want recognition?"

"Then come with us."

"I'll show you what true 'the way of the king' really is. If you can keep up with me, not only the throne, but the whole world, I can conquer and give it to you."

Mordred stared blankly at the hand.

She glanced at Artoria beside her, who didn't show any disgust but rather some worry.

She then looked at Morgan, who, despite his disgusted expression, did not kill her.

As if guided by some unseen force, she grasped Luo Chen's hand.

"...If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will still kill you all."

Mordred turned her head away, muttering to herself, trying to save face.

Thus, the most uncontrollable "Rebellious Knight" of the Red team, before it could inflict serious damage on the Black team, was forcibly recruited by the White team using "Family Bonds (Mixed Doubles)".

On the other side of the battlefield.

Karna, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Siegfried, paused for a moment.

His eyes, capable of seeing through the truth, glanced at the farce unfolding here from afar.

"The bond of blood... it's something both enviable and troublesome."

Karna shook his head, and the God-Slaying Spear in his hand flamed once more:

"Now that Saber (Mordred) has left the stage, I can't waste my time here."

boom!

The sun's fire erupted.

Karna held back, preparing to use his Noble Phantasm to forcefully end his entanglement with Siegfried.

"Melushin!"

After Luo Chen recruited Mordred, he immediately gave the following order:

"Go help Siegfried. Two against one, force Karna to retreat."

"Saber (Artoria), you go too. Three against one, don't let him get away."

"Mordred, you too..."

"I'm not going!" Mordred yelled. "I don't want to fight alongside her!"

"Then go and bring the Lion Hijacker's car over. We should go find somewhere else to watch the show."

Luo Chen ruthlessly treated Xiao Mo as his driver.

The nights in Tulipas are getting more and more lively.
