My mother's love song

"My city exists with my life. When my life returns to the earth, my city will also end its mission."

above! "

"……idiot."

After Gawain uttered these words calmly, he began to order his men to attack the city, and she herself walked towards the main gate of Sheffield with Carventine in her hand.

"Old soldier who has been abandoned by the times, let my sword [horn] guide you."

Chapter 847: C Dai's true confession! Is it really okay for the heroine's love line to progress so quickly?

The Forecourt of Sheffield after the siege began.

"Then we'll take our leave now."

Rhode said this and took Altria's hand.

Ignoring the tense atmosphere in the military meeting, he said to himself: "Boggart, I wish you good luck in your military career."

"I don't have time to deal with you now, stop hanging around in front of me, get out of here!"

Boggart also issued an expulsion order to the Child of Prophecy, and then without looking back, he commanded the goblins to start a full-scale resistance.

There are about 3000 Fang Clan soldiers stationed in Sheffield for a long time.

In addition, there are the goblins who have long been dissatisfied with the Queen and her daughter and recently heard about the Boggart rebellion and rushed to join them.

The total force is about 5000 wings.

As for the Queen's Army, it is the 2000 wings of the Third Division.

5000>2000, this is the equation of the fairy kingdom

If you don't take into account the four fairy knights that arrived at the same time as the Third Division.

"It's a different story if we have four fairy knights. That's the largest force in the Queen's army... We can't win!"

"Before the Child of Prophecy leaves, capture her and present her to the Queen!"

Many important officials suggested this, but Boggart rejected it outright.

It is not known whether he was unwilling to be protected by the Child of Prophecy, or whether he saw through the true nature of the enemy commander, the court magician.

In short, this is the only correct decision.

Because if the Child of Prophecy was handed over, the goblins of Sheffield would surely be killed more quickly and more miserably.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The floors and walls of the impregnable fortress shook violently, and the siege weapons of the Queen's Army were as fierce as fire.

That was a magic gift made by the witch herself. Although its power was not as strong as the Holy Lance, it still had anti-city-level firepower.

Sheffield's walls were made of bark peeled from dead fantasy trees and had a defensive power second only to Camelot, but even so, a layer of it was melted away by several rounds of artillery fire.

Although the Earth Clan is building the city walls from the inside with oak wood, it is only a matter of time before the walls collapse.

At the same time, the sound of explosions continued to echo in the city of Sheffield.

That was an air raid from Lancelot. The swift knight who controlled the sky moved freely in the air and destroyed the barracks in the city easily in front of the anti-aircraft forces.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented loud noise and tremor was heard in front of the castle.

The destructive phenomenon reminiscent of a natural disaster was a direct attack from Gawain, who was using her Noble Phantasm [Caventine] to destroy the strongest city gate.

"Tsk... the training level is higher than I thought, Queen's Army."

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the Fairy Knight arrived here. Rhodes grabbed the wrist of the Son of Prophecy and ran through the corridors of the castle.

"It's too late, let's hurry up...Altoria?"

The girl suddenly stopped running and stood still.

"What's wrong? Did you leave something in the guest room?"

No matter how Rhode pulled her, her legs were firmly nailed to the ground.

"No, Rod, I can't leave." The girl said softly.

"Aha?"

Altria turned around, held his hand tightly and said, "I can't leave! I can't watch this city fall!"

Rhodes said: "The lord of this city is Boggart.

Although he is now in a state of disgrace, he is still an excellent knight. Since he has raised the banner of rebellion, he should be prepared for defeat.

We don't have to share responsibility with him. From now on, this is his final war."

Altria shook her head: "Rod, you once said that I am the true son of prophecy, and only I can save Britain...

In this case, we should stay here and fight against the common enemy [the Queen's Army] together with Sheffield!"

The young man paused for a second, then said in a cold, admonishing tone: “Show me the current situation, Altria.

The enemy is the four goblin knights, and even if we stay here to resist, we will only die."

"really?"

Altria stared into the other person's eyes and said, "The man standing in front of me is the man who defeated Woodworth.

You are obviously more powerful than the Fairy Knight, why are you running away!?"

"... Stop it. Stop it. Do you want to kill Hector and the others?"

“This is not nonsense!”

Facing the speechless Rhodes, the Son of Prophecy shouted excitedly: "A man as powerful as Rhodes would never understand!

I had already escaped once, at Tintagel...

I watched helplessly as my hometown, where I had lived for 16 years, turned into a sea of ​​fire. I, who was called the savior by everyone, was powerless to do anything...

So at that time I made up my mind that next time... I would not run away again... I didn't want to run away anymore...

I beg you, Rod... help everyone, okay?"

Rhodes was speechless.

He didn't expect that Altria would rely on him to this extent.

The person who was crying and acting like a spoiled brat in front of him was not the child of prophecy at all, but just a little brat spoiled by adults.

Altria cared more about what Rhodes could do than what she could do.

If she continues like this, she might not even be able to complete her pilgrimage or save Britain, and she might not even be as good as the little devil in Morgan's place.

"Rod! If you take it seriously, fairy knights and the like are not scary at all! Sheffield will be saved too!"

The Son of Prophecy threw himself into the boy's arms, hugged him tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and spoke with sobs.

"No matter how willful my request is, you will satisfy me. I am really happy...

No one has ever been so kind to me since I was born...

You treat me like a princess... Rhodes, the one who dotes on me the most..."

With tears in her eyes, Altria looked up at the young man and murmured.

"You once told me about pan-human history, about the Master and the Caster, right?

Today I finally confirmed...

Rhodes, you must be my princess [Master]...

I will work harder in the future to become the person you like...

I will listen to you! You can ask me to do anything!

Well, of course there are some naughty things too... Although I don’t have the capital to be naughty right now, I will try my best...!

So I’ll leave it to you this time, okay… Rod, use your power to save me.”

"This is my power, not yours."

"!!!"

The Son of Prophecy opened his eyes wide and tears welled up in his eyes.

Rhodes said word by word.

"Altria, you are the one who will ring the bell and save Britain."

"………………ah."

Altria first maintained an expression of disbelief, then her stiff face gradually relaxed, and finally she forced out a bitter smile.

She wiped her tears with her sleeve in a panic: "I'm sorry, Rod. I was bewildered for a moment."

"fine."

Rhodes raised his hand instinctively.

Ah... I can't touch her head now, or she will become useless.

Although I thought so, I still put it there in the end.

"Is everything alright?"

The Son of Prophecy nodded slightly: "Well, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you just now... Rhodes, you won't be disappointed in me, right?"

"No." Rhodes answered without hesitation.

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled awkwardly and said, "It seems that my enemy is not just the witch."

Rhodes: “?”

The Child of Prophecy said with a wicked smile: "There is an evil magician beside me who wants to spoil me into a useless person."

Rhodes said in embarrassment: "I have no words to say."

The girl patted her cheeks to wake herself up: "Okay! Let's hurry up and leave, Rhodes."

"Ah."

Looking at Altria who turned and ran towards the front hall, Rhodes frowned.

"Eh? No! Artoria! Where are you running to? Are you going outside? Why are you going back to the city? That's not the escape route!"

……

……

……

The main hall of Sheffield was in chaos at the moment.

"Noknalea's reinforcements won't arrive until tomorrow night. We can't possibly hold out until then...!"

"That guy Gawain...became an outstanding general."

Bogut was anxiously directing the defense of the city, but he found that the Son of Prophecy and Rhodes had returned.

"What the hell are you doing? Why are you back again?!"

The Boggart glared at the guardian of the Child of Prophecy angrily. Rhodes shrugged helplessly, indicating that it had nothing to do with me.

"Boggarts, and the goblins of Sheffield!"

Artoria knocked on the floor with the Staff of Selection, forcing all the fairies in the hall to be quiet.

As time goes by, the war becomes more one-sided, and the fairy knights will soon break through the city gates and walls at the same time.

The goblins who are now in this space are either depressed and desperate, or at a loss. Only the Son of Prophecy has a firm light in his eyes.

Looking at Altria, Boggart frowned unhappily: "What's wrong, do you have anything to say? Fake Child of Prophecy!"

Altria said loudly: "You Sheffield's situation is entirely your own fault. Your life or death has nothing to do with me!"

"Varied……"

All the goblins opened their mouths wide, including Rhodes.

What exactly did she want to say? Was she here to laugh at me? To pick a fight?

The Child of Prophecy continued, “I have heard from my princess the reason why you went to war with the queen.
