In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Although he was very good at formulating strategies, those were all in battles against people, battles that were likely to be won.

Given that our military strength is several times weaker than the enemy's, we cannot win no matter how we fight.

unless……

"I'm sorry, everyone. The battlefield is already at a critical juncture. Even if you hate me or punish me after this is over, this is a necessary sacrifice."

"We absolutely cannot let all our previous efforts and sacrifices go to waste!!"

Just before the temporary front was about to be completely wiped out by the Knights of Purification, Artoria opened her eyes.

The holy lance in her hand was enveloped in a golden vortex, and the dazzling golden starlight transformed into a torrent, which then slowly intertwined in Artoria's hand, forming a spiral shape.

Immediately afterwards, powerful magic surged forth.

"What, what is that?"

"What's going on? Is that the goddess's... holy punishment?"

While people were wondering, Artoria had already pointed the Holy Lance straight ahead. The next moment, a blinding golden beam of light shot out from her palm like a meteor, crashing down on Camelot's soldiers with overwhelming destructive force.

Boom—!!

The golden starlight melted everything on the road, whether it was the righteous knights, human soldiers, or the mountain people's rebels, anyone who touched it would be instantly evaporated by the aftershocks.

Even Artoria was extremely worried about the liberation that had just taken place, but that's how war is. Because of this sudden attack, a hole was forcibly punched in the originally impregnable defense line.

"—Now! Keep going!!"

Artoria hoisted a battle flag and waved it forward. As if guided, the soldiers behind her began to surge into the crack like a tide.

However, in the very next moment—

"We won't let you pass."

A gentle voice was accompanied by a burst of blazing sword light that instantly vaporized hundreds of people advancing towards them.

Upon seeing this familiar attack, Artoria knew who it was. It was an aura from the same source as the Star Sword, known as the second Star Sword—the Wheel of Victory.

The wielder of this sword is currently waiting at the city gate, becoming Camelot's first line of defense.

However, before the opponent could unleash a second sword strike, two opponents who were already prepared rushed through the gap to Gawain's front.

"It's been a long time, Gawain!"

"Yes, Kai."

"I've missed you so much!"

"You want me dead, don't you..."

Gawain responded helplessly, and the second sword beam he was about to unleash was forced to be withdrawn to block the flaming longsword that Kai had already unleashed.

Clang!

In addition, a heavy spearhead also arrived at the same time, its powerful force causing him to stagger back several steps.

"—!"

Looking in that direction, they saw that Percival, Bedivere, and Lancelot, who had arrived with Rowe, were all here. Only Artoria was unable to come over yet because she had to continue commanding the troops.

"What? Never mind..."

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Gao Wen couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

"What, forget it? Gawain, do you even remember how many people you've killed so far?"

Upon meeting again, Luo Wei looked at Gawain in front of him and questioned him in a deep voice, while taking a step towards Gawain.

"I don't know, because that's definitely not a number to be praised..."

Gawain didn't understand why Lo Wei asked this question, but he had indeed never listed his own sins in detail.

"Then I'll tell you!"

Looking at the wronged souls and sins burdened on his body, Luo Wei roared in a deep voice, "Three thousand two hundred and eleven people! This is the number of lives you have personally killed in this singularity. Now remember this! You pathetic Sun Knight!"

"At this moment, remember the sins you have committed with your dulled mind."

"...I'm sorry, as you said, I'm afraid I should already be a villain who deserves to go to hell."

Upon hearing this number, Gao Wen took a deep breath and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands.

"However, I will not back down."

"Yes, you don't need to back down at all, because we will let you personally experience just how heavy your sins are!"

As he spoke, this time, Kay Percival very consciously took up his weapon and stood in front of Gawain.

Kai: "Come on, Gawain, haven't had a fight in a while, have you? We're both itching for a good one!"

Percival: "This time, we'll stop you, Gawain."

"...Yes, Kay, Percival, I've been looking forward to this moment too."

Although his duty was to guard the city gate, Gawain had no time to care about anything else at the moment, or perhaps he had long since stopped caring.

At that moment, he looked up and met the gaze of his former comrade. They stared at each other, roared, raised their weapons, and charged at one another with all their might.

This battle will no longer be a small skirmish like before; even he will have to give his all.

Since words cannot persuade the other party, then we shall act as knights.

Let the sword speak for itself!

……

"Kay, Percival...! I knew it, they were definitely a threat!!"

"And that damn Lancelot, a leopard can't change its spots! That guy betrayed us again, damn it! Gawain's in trouble this time."

On the other side, Agravain, who was using magic to observe the battlefield situation, angrily slammed his fist on the table.

The knights accompanying him were somewhat worried when they saw Gawain, on whom they had placed high hopes, being directly entangled by Kay Percival, whose strength had also greatly increased.

"Sir Gawain, are you sure he'll be alright?"

"No, impossible! Gawain under the sun is invincible. Although Lancelot is there, and the opponent might indeed be able to kill him, the gates of Camelot will absolutely not be breached by anyone certified by the Lion King—Holy crap!!"

"What's going on? Why are you shouting like that?"

Hearing his two subordinates' startled reactions, Agguiwen, who was transferring troops to the city gate area to support Gawain, also looked over.

He then couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Before everyone's eyes, the supposedly impenetrable Chalk Gate was easily pushed open by Rowe. He then smiled slightly at Agravure, who was watching everything from the other side, and made a throat-slitting gesture.

"—Now, arrest the mastermind, and leave no one alive."

Then, he spoke calmly to the two knights behind him.

Chapter 214 Welcome to the World of Men

"Look! The door...the door, isn't it open?!"

"Fuck!!"

The moment Camelot's gate was pushed open, everyone still fighting on the battlefield was completely stunned.

Not only the soldiers, but also all the warriors who fought to defend the Holy City, including Gawain, felt extremely complicated when they saw the first line of defense, on which so much hope was placed and which was also Camelot's strongest line of defense, being pushed open.

However, when the mountain people and the Hassans who arrived later saw this scene, they immediately understood what had happened on the other side of the city gate, which was said to be "never to be breached by external forces".

They had all witnessed Artoria's selfless use of the Holy Lance to clear the way, and the efforts of Kay, Percival, Lancelot, Bedivere, and other Knights of the Round Table, who had also been clearing the way. They had silently prayed for them, and now the outcome was obvious.

Hassan, the Grand Commander, the Son of God in the hearts of the believers, and the Queen in the hearts of the desert soldiers, led humanity in rebellion against the gods. Now, they have broken through the first barrier of this war, shattering the snowflake barrier that was said to be impenetrable.

"Wow! Commander-in-Chief, you're invincible! You've breached Camelot's gates so quickly! That supposedly invincible Knight Gawain must have been utterly defeated and humiliated by you!!"

"The Son of God is invincible! Invincible indeed!!"

"Our leader, we will always love and respect you!!"

"Quick! What are you all standing around for? Follow the leader's lead and keep attacking! We absolutely must witness the upcoming battle of the strong!"

"Charge! Help the Grand Commander capture that nonsensical Lion King, and then—wait for me!!"

It's unclear which fanatical worshipper first uttered such strange words, but the enthusiasm of the Mountain People's army spread like dominoes throughout the ranks, gradually becoming uncontrollable, with countless exaggerated pronouncements echoing through the dark crowd.

The morale, which had been dampened by battle losses, was boosted once again.

"It worked! That's great..."

Seeing this, Artoria breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she sensed that the morale of the enemy soldiers had plummeted because of this, so she immediately waved her battle flag and ordered her soldiers to rush into the city more quickly.

Although she is more accustomed to using a sword, she is also very skilled at using battle flags. She learned this skill from a girl who resembled her in the 14th century, and it comes in handy today.

With the city gates wide open, the soldiers, who were originally tasked not only with breaking through the defenses of the Cavalry but also with climbing, suddenly found their mission much easier. Under the command of Artoria's waving battle flag, they poured into the gate in an endless stream.

This scene caused Agravín's mood to plummet as he watched the battle from the city.

'How could this be? How could this be? How is this possible?'

He slammed his fist on the table, sinking into deep self-doubt.

'This shouldn't be happening, this doesn't make sense, this shouldn't be happening...?'

To prevent the enemy from breaching the gates, he reinforced the original Camelot structure even further. To prevent Lancelot from betraying him and opening the gates, he removed all identification from the Camelot gates, making it impossible for even Gawain or himself to open them. What on earth is going on?!

Galahad…no, impossible. Galahad couldn't possibly open an uncertified door, unless…unless it is…

Suddenly, Agravan seemed to have come up with an unbelievable answer. At that moment, he suddenly understood something about the so-called Son of God and Prophet.

Galahad was a Grail Knight, a knight who entered Heaven. From that moment on, his shield became a Christian relic. The city gate built by the king was designed based on Galahad's shield from his lifetime, meaning...

"—I actually encountered the real thing?!"

Agguwen cursed angrily. He suddenly realized how stupid he had been. He had clearly guessed that it might be true, but he had been too confident in his defenses, which led to the current situation.

But upon further reflection, he realized there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, as long as Camelot's gates remain Galahad's shield, they will never be able to stop the enemy unless Camelot's walls are demolished and rebuilt, which is undoubtedly unrealistic.

……

"The door actually opened?"
