When she first met Gray, Altria instinctively felt that something was wrong and that someone was plotting something - that's what her "intuition" told her.
In her "previous life", her intuition was only effective in combat, but after so many years of upgrading, her intuition can now be used for other things, like the revelation from her good friend Jeanne d'Arc.
Seeing Kai, who was obviously mixed with other things, and Merlin's ambiguous attitude made her more certain that there was definitely a problem, and it was not an ordinary problem. Maybe Morgan was causing trouble again. With the precedent of Mordred, she couldn't help but think of the worst.
However, intuition is just a hunch, not a confirmation. And Artoria herself is not good at conspiracy, so she can only put it aside for the time being. Merlin said that she can solve it with Shinji, which means that she and he are capable of solving the problem, which is enough - Merlin has never had any problems in this regard.
To solve that problem, we must first solve the opponent in front of us—
"Kai, I can treat you as Kai, as my brother."
"Of course. That's why I appeared."
Although he was extremely sharp-tongued when facing Gray, in front of Altria, he was still the most outstanding knight of the Knights of the Round Table.
"Oh, then who said that heroes should eat shit?" Merlin said mercilessly.
"Gah, I still think so, unlike the other knights (idiots). However, Artoria is different. I am willing to help her, but you, a liar, are very unpleasant."
Kai looked embarrassed and said it as if he had given up, but no one was shocked by it. It was not because of numbness, but because Sir Kai was just like that.
Both during his lifetime and in later legends, he was an outstanding knight, except for one thing - he was not careful with his words.
"Oh, that's the only thing that remains the same." Merlin was not angry.
"But... King of Conquest Iskandar..." Kai took a few steps forward and cast his eyes towards the King's army in the distance. "Although I already knew about it, this is the first time I've actually seen such an army... There are only a few of us, so it feels a bit inadequate..."
"Who said we are the only ones here?" Merlin smiled and pointed to a nearby pond. "Altolia, put the Holy Lance here."
"learn."
The Knight King unleashed the seal on the Holy Lance without hesitation and thrust it into the pool of water.
"Then what?"
"Begin Round Table Decisions."
"good."
At this time, she trusted Merlin unconditionally because he would never joke about such a thing.
Along with the infusion of magic power, a solemn and ancient voice came from inside the Holy Spear.
"Seal Thirteen - Round Table Decision Starts!"
Then, one after another, images, like Kai before, walked out from the holy spear that emitted starlight.
The first one had short purple hair, was handsome, held the Holy Sword of Lake Light, and was known as the "Flower of Knights". He performed a standard knight's salute to Altria and stood beside the king.
Next came a knight holding the Holy Sword of the Sun, who was perfect in every way.
This was just the beginning, and then more and more knights walked out in the light of the holy spear.
There was a young man with squinting eyes and fluttering red hair, holding a sword in his left hand and a bow in his right.
The man with black armor and black hair had a gloomy face.
There were knights wearing heavy armor, carrying great swords, and wearing horn helmets.
There was a young man as noble as a saint, wearing a red sword at his waist and carrying a large shield on his shoulder.
Not only them, there were five other knights walking side by side. Each one was so dazzling, and each one possessed extraordinary style, leaving a magnificent chapter in human history.
These eleven knights, together with Kai who had appeared previously, were the twelve most famous Knights of the Round Table in later generations. Together with King Arthur Altria himself, they were the ones who sealed the Holy Lance, the Thirteen Restraints.
When they all show up, it will determine whether the Holy Spear can unleash its full power.
However, this time, they did not state the fixed creed or the basis for liberation as planned, but saluted the king with dignity and reported their names, just as they had done when they gathered under King Arthur during their lifetime.
This has never happened before, because what is attached to the Holy Lance is just pure faith and seal, which cannot be so real.
"You, you guys - this, this is -" Artoria was trembling all over. She could hardly believe her eyes, the reality before her.
"Oh, that's the expression I want to see."
Merlin laughed, and soon returned to his mentor mode.
"Although I want to admire it for a while longer, reality does not allow it. Put away your surprise, Artoria. The Holy Lance Seal is not only made up of their own beliefs, but also their trust and loyalty to you. This is enough to transcend time and space and awaken miracles. Although it is impossible to make them come in their perfect bodies, this is indeed proof of your connection with them! It is not only the King of Conquerors who has an undying friendship with his subordinates, but you too. Don't underestimate you and your knights - they are the people who love you the most in the world!"
"!!!"
"What are you waiting for, King Arthur? The knights are waiting for your orders."
Hearing Merlin's infectious voice and Kai's high-pitched reminder, Artoria woke up as if from a dream. She swept her eyes across the faces of the knights one by one, reading out their names one by one.
"Sir Lau."
"Yes, my king."
"Gao Wenqing."
"Yes, my king."
"Sir Tristan."
"Yes, my king."
"Agegui Wenqing."
"Yes, my king."
"Sir Percival."
"Yes, my king."
"Sir Palomedes."
"Yes, my king."
"Lord Gaheres."
"Yes, my king."
"Sir Gareth."
"Yes, my king."
"Sir Galahad."
"Yes, my king."
"Sir Bedivere."
"Yes, my king."
"Mordred."
The last digit does not have the necessary prefix (Sir).
And the controversial knight who ultimately destroyed the Arthurian dynasty did not answer in the same way as the other knights.
Her answer was: "At your command, father!"
"As you can see, the enemy is the King of Conquerors, one of the most famous kings in human history, and his army. We are only fourteen people. This will be an extremely difficult battle. Knights, even so, are you willing to follow me?"
The twelve knights raised their swords at the same time and declared to their king.
"Wherever our king's sword points, we will follow till death!"
"Very good." Artoria drew out her holy sword and holy spear, and gave orders as she did in the past, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Yes, your majesty!"
PS: Normally, there is no Aggiven, no Mordred, no Palomedi among the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, but there are Geraint, Lankrantz and Bosya. However, the first three names and other names clearly appear in the constraints, so we can only exclude the last three.
PS2: I finally wrote this paragraph. In terms of fan power, how could the King's Knights lose to the Emperor's Gay Friends? It's a pity that I can't bring out the whole group at the same time. After all, the King of Saber, who turned into the Holy Lance Goddess, didn't bring out the whole group.
PS3: The fight between Dai Mao and the Emperor will not take more than a week, four or five days will be enough. However, if you include Shining vs. Master, and Rin vs. Er Ye, it will definitely take more than that, after all, the war will be fought on three fronts and they are all decisive battles.
