In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

"We're in a hurry, so let Sir Hector handle it."

"Ah."

Artoria nodded, then turned and loudly gave orders to the remaining people in the camp:

"Sir Hector will be here soon. As long as you stay where you are, everyone can survive!"

-----------------

Inside the manor in Hector territory.

Kay brought a disheveled peasant woman before Sir Hector and instructed her:

"Repeat what you just said."

Sir Hector,

The peasant woman hurriedly knelt on the ground and said haltingly:

“My name is Ap. I was kidnapped by the Saxons and taken to the forest a few months ago. Just now, Lord Arthur and a knight killed all the Saxons and rescued us. The knight asked me to pass on a few words to Sir Hector, asking you to take your men to take over the Saxon camp.”

Kai immediately spoke up:

"Father, Arthur is in the forest, we must take men to rescue him!"

"I know."

Sir Hector interrupted him, saying in a deep voice:

"Go and gather the knights and soldiers in the manor, and also bring Miss Vivian along."

"Yes, Father."

Kai nodded solemnly and immediately turned to gather the soldiers.

"This is utter nonsense!"

Sir Hector's face was grim, a mixture of worry and frustration.

The Saxons had been entrenched in the forest for several months, posing a significant threat to the territory of Ekto.

But how could he not want to wipe them out?

If he were truly just a baron, he would only need to protect his own territory.

Even at the cost of enormous losses, he would lead his men into the forest to wipe out the Saxons.

But he bears a greater mission, and he must preserve his strength as much as possible before that destined time arrives.

Artoria is a good girl; she will surely understand her choice.

The only thing that drove her to venture into the forest alone was that foreign knight who called himself Kira.

Sir Hector suddenly regretted appointing Kira as Artoria's teacher. He had originally planned to use this opportunity to probe their intentions.

But he never expected that the other party would be so bold.

On his very first day in office, he took Artoria into the Saxon-occupied forest. What was he planning to do? Even if he wanted to escape with Artoria, Morgan was still with him.

What is this? A one-for-one trade at the very end?

Sir Hector was bewildered and couldn't understand the logic behind this move.

But Kai had already gathered all the manor's troops—

Four armored knights, 15 squire knights, and 120 infantrymen.

Including the father and son, there were a total of six armored knights.

Of the remaining 120 infantrymen, 30 had to stay behind to command the other serfs and free men to guard the home, so they could only bring a maximum of 90 men.

Although we can continue to issue appeals to other knightly lords, time is of the essence.

They have no time to waste.

Sir Hector stepped out of the manor, nodded slightly to the knights and soldiers gathered in the square, then looked at the veiled blonde girl beside him and said in a deep voice:

“Miss Vivian, Kira and Arthur are currently in the forest, surrounded by Saxons. We need your help.”

Vivian, who was originally taking care of the child, was suddenly called over and asked in confusion:

How many of them are there?

"More than two hundred people."

Sir Hector looked serious.

Although their troop strength was indeed slightly inferior in comparison.

But Sir Hector was still confident that he could defeat the Saxons, though he would have to pay a price.

"Huh?"

Vivian tilted her head in confusion. "Do you need my help?"

"Yes."

Sir Hector said solemnly, "We need your power as a magician!"

With Morgan's help, their casualties could be greatly reduced.

and……

He was also worried about leaving Morgan alone at the manor.

"OK then."

Vivian thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement to help.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sir Hector breathed a sigh of relief. On the other side, Kay had already prepared a carriage, which was specially prepared for Vivian and Melyuchina, since they didn't seem like they could ride horses.

The group set off in a grand procession, guided by a peasant woman who called herself Aipu.

They cautiously made their way deeper into the forest, but they did not encounter any enemies until they reached the vicinity of the Saxon camp.

But this did not relieve Sir Hector's anxiety; instead, it made him frown even more deeply.

Since these Saxons haven't shown up, they must either be lying in ambush somewhere or hunting down Artoria and Yoshikage Kira.

Neither scenario is good news; they must reunite with Yoshikage Kira and the others as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Sir Hector expected a tough battle, but they found out when they entered the camp.

There were no Saxons here, only a group of women looking terrified, gathered in the center of the camp.

No, there were still Saxons; those few corpses piled up haphazardly in a corner of the camp were Saxons.

But the current situation is still completely beyond Sir Hector's expectations.

Sir Hector summoned several of the women and asked them:

"What about the Saxons?"

The women looked at each other, then asked cautiously:

"Sir, weren't they all killed by you?"

Sir Hector sensed something was amiss and pressed for answers:

"I mean, besides those in the camp, what about the other Saxons? Haven't they returned?"

"Of course not, sir."

The woman, thinking he was asking if there were any survivors, immediately replied in a panic:

"Not a single Saxon has returned alive, how dare we harbor them?"

"..."

Sir Hector frowned. He hadn't seen many corpses on his way here, only three by the roadside.

Including those in the camp, there were only a dozen or so corpses in total.

With Artoria's strength, killing all these people would indeed be a piece of cake.

But the intelligence report said there were more than two hundred Saxons.

What about the rest of the people?

"Father!"

Kai seemed to have made a discovery and immediately exclaimed, calling over Sir Hector.

It was a tent, inside which were piled a large number of well-made weapons in wooden crates.

Aside from a few empty wooden crates, the remaining crates still had the weapons inside.

"Put what you said before back on."

Sir Hector questioned the peasant woman who called herself Ap, and she repeated the story in fear.

This also caused Sir Hector to fall silent once again, because he suddenly realized—

The Saxons must have really all died out, otherwise they wouldn't have left these weapons here to gather dust.

Kira Yoshikage sent someone to tell him that he simply wanted him to take over the camp, not that he was asking for help.

However, Sir Hector still felt that something was vaguely amiss—

It's not unheard of for a skilled knight to kill hundreds of people single-handedly.

But the problem is, where is the body?

Although people die when they are killed, there must be a body, right? Where is the body?

"So, why would I need to help with this?"

Vivian muttered to herself in the carriage, while Meiliuqina tilted her head and reached out her little hand to try to smooth Vivian's furrowed brow.

-----------------

Leaving the Saxon camp, Artoria rode her warhorse along a path through the forest, returning to the vast plains.

Just like the territory of Ekto, there were also a large number of serfs and free people working in the fields here.

But this place belongs to another noble family, and to another great noble family with a past relationship with Hector.
