Chapter 1137 The Eve of the War
Over the next few days, unrest became apparent across Britain.
Knocknaree, who traveled between Londinium and Edinburgh with the help of Lige's [Portal], had already met with Percival and all the members of the Round Table Army, and formally concluded an alliance with Chaldea as a mediation, and launched the actions that had been agreed upon in advance.
The northern goblins of the King's Clan began to form a mighty regular army, starting from Edinburgh and heading south, clearing out the Mors that blocked the way while heading towards Camelot in central Britain. They finally arrived at the northern border three days later, creating a situation where a large army was pressing on Camelot.
In contrast, the Round Table Army also set out from Londinium and headed north, arriving at the southern border three days later and coming to the border of Camelot.
Originally, compared with the royal clan that controlled the entire northern Britain, it should not be an easy task for the Round Table Army to march all the way to the suburbs of Camelot.
After all, from Londinium to Camelot, the Round Table Army needed to pass between Oxford and Norwich, through the plains, and then through the Big Cave before reaching Camelot.
Oxford is the territory of the Tooth Clan, Norwich is the territory of the Earth Clan, and the two major clans are fairy clans that are subservient to the queen. On the other side of Camelot are Salisbury and Gloucester, where the Wind Clan and the Wing Clan are located.
The Round Table Army set out from Londinium and headed north. Before arriving at Camelot, it would be impossible for them to hide from the spies deployed in these four places.
Therefore, it stands to reason that the Round Table Army would have to face many difficulties along the way to Camelot, and would be obstructed or even ambushed by the four major clans: Wind, Earth, Fang, and Wing.
At that time, Camelot only needs to deal with the King's Clan in the north. The Round Table Army will not be able to be the opponent of the four major clans combined. They will either be wiped out before arriving at Camelot, or they can only hold on until the Queen's Army has resolved the threat of the northern goblins and recovered, and then turned to deal with them. Then they will be doomed.
But when the Round Table Army set out from Londinium, the Earth Clan in Norwich not only did not come forward to obstruct them, but turned a blind eye. The Tooth Clan in Oxford was suddenly obstructed by the goblin group from Gloucester before the troops were dispatched, and could only watch the Round Table Army leave. The Wind Clan not only did not take action against the Round Table Army, but instead sent people to transport supplies and support the Round Table Army in terms of logistics...
This not only led to the successful pincer attack on Camelot by the Round Table Army and the Northern Elves, but also made everyone who saw this movement understand.
"Except for the Fang Clan, all other goblin clans have betrayed!"
Wind, Earth, Wings, King...
Except for the Fang Clan which lost its clan leader, including the destroyed Mirror Clan, the other five fairy clans in the fairy kingdom of Britain actually betrayed the queen!
This fact undoubtedly caused an uproar everywhere.
Especially in Camelot, every goblin living here found it incredible.
"Except for the Fang Clan, all other clans betrayed the queen?"
"Are they crazy?"
"No, many of them must have long harbored resentment towards the Queen, whether it was because of the Queen's inaction on the "disaster" or because of the long-standing tax on her existence. If the Queen's power was not so strong, they would definitely not have not erupted until today."
"Yes, now the Son of Prophecy has completed the pilgrimage mentioned in the prophecy. All six pilgrimage bells have been rung, and they have received assistance from the Round Table Army and the Northern King's Clan. Those people saw that there was hope of overthrowing the Queen, so they couldn't wait to jump out, right?"
"...What about us?"
"...Well, let's wait and see what happens."
The goblins in Camelot were also discussing secretly, and some even had some ideas.
Just as they said, the fairies have been levied existence tax for a long time, and the queen has also imposed harsh rules on them and left them to die many times without helping them. It is certainly impossible to say that the fairies have no complaints in their hearts.
It's just because Morgan's power is too strong, and the fairy knights and the queen's army under his command are also too strong, that the fairies have to swallow their anger and muddle through.
Now, seeing the opportunity to overthrow the queen, even the superior fairies who had been protected in Camelot for a long time could not help but feel uneasy.
It sounds reasonable, but what about the reality?
If Lige were here, he would definitely be able to tell from the flickering eyes of these goblins when they were discussing that the reason they had different thoughts was definitely not just because of their reasonable dissatisfaction with the harsh government.
I was looking forward to the chaos and fighting that was to come...
Fantasies of revenge and torture that Morgan would suffer if he were to be overthrown...
I am tired of the unchanging situation in Britain and I am restless and want to see some new changes...
All these various thoughts intertwined together, and the malice that eventually brewed was perhaps what the goblins would show.
Morgan seemed to have turned a blind eye to this, as if he was completely unaware of it. He showed an indifferent attitude towards the rebellious actions of the Wind, Earth and Wing clans. He also seemed to be completely unconcerned about the fact that the Fang clan was obstructed by Gloucester. He did not even think about stabilizing the morale of the army. He simply gave an order to summon the knights bestowed by him from all over the country to come to Camelot to form a defense force, and then did not take any action.
Although these summoned knights are not as good as the fairy knights like Bagster and Lancelot, they are also queen knights bestowed by Morgan. Their strength and influence are second only to the fairy knights and the clan leaders of the six major clans. Even if their overall strength and influence are not as good as the fairy knights and the six major clans, they are still a powerful force.
These forces are also important components of the Queen's Army. Morgan, who has gathered all these forces, obviously intends to rely not on the major clans, but only on his own Queen's Army to compete with the alliance of the Round Table Army and the Northern Army.
For a time, the whole of Britain was in turmoil, and all major forces began to move. Some formed a confrontation, some moved in secret, and some were planning something, creating an obvious atmosphere of an impending war brewing over Britain.
Regarding the impending war, some are uneasy, some are expecting it, some are worrying too much, and some are just afraid that the world will be in chaos, and they are eager to add fuel to the fire, making the atmosphere of war and unrest more and more intense.
Everyone knows that this war will determine who will be in charge of Britain in the future and what its new look will be.
As for who will lose and who will win...
Perhaps, for most fairies who are just looking forward to the chaos and war breaking out, it is no longer important.
At this time, even the "disaster" that was becoming more and more serious had been selectively ignored by the fairies.
The number of Mors is still increasing, and the "great disaster" that happens once every thousand years is approaching step by step.
But before that, this war that has swept across Britain must first determine the winner.
The winner will bear everything.
The loser will lose everything.
Time is running out. Even if Morgan does not initiate a war and instead prepares for a defensive war, the Allied Forces are not prepared to drag it out any longer.
"Send a challenge to Camelot!"
At Noknale's unquestionable proposal, Altria, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, Leonardo da Vinci, Habertlot, Percival, Gareth and even the returning Oberon all nodded with heavy hearts.
So, on the fifth day after the establishment of the Alliance Army, less than two days before the collapse phenomenon that Chaldea had surveyed would occur, the Alliance Army, in the name of Artoria and Nocnaree, formally declared war on Camelot.
"Tomorrow, our army will officially attack Camelot, overthrow Queen Morgan, and end Britain's two thousand years of tyranny!"
The challenge was sent to Camelot, to the royal city, and into Morgan's hands.
Morgan, who received the challenge, only replied with one sentence.
"Let's fight."
Who will decide Britain's future?
It will be revealed after this battle.
…………
That night, although Camelot still looked luxurious, beautiful, cold and tough compared to usual, the air permeating every corner seemed heavier than ever, even depressing.
The residents knew that the war would break out tomorrow, so they hid in their homes with various emotions and almost no one went out.
The Queen's Army had been deployed to the main gate and the left and right sides of Camelot, forming a battle formation and exuding a murderous atmosphere.
As for the back of Camelot…that’s where the big cave is.
With a large cave across it, no legion could launch an attack towards Camelot from this direction, unless they could use the power of flying monsters to launch an attack from the air like the Sky Division of the Kaledohart Empire.
Unfortunately, in Britain, there are very few flying monsters and very few individuals with the ability to fly, so Lancelot is so special because she almost dominates the entire British sky.
Under such circumstances, the Queen's Army naturally did not need to set up a defense line behind Camelot. It was enough to guard the main gate and the gates on the left and right sides.
After daybreak, the Allied Forces will officially attack, and the Queen's Army dare not relax their vigilance at this time.
So, they will stay here all night.
It seems a bit too much to keep watch all night and then have to fight a big battle after dawn.
Fortunately, the ones participating in this war are basically goblins, and there are only humans in the Round Table Army. They have also been ordered to have a good rest tonight. Given the goblins' physical condition, they will not think about tomorrow's performance at all after guarding all night.
Therefore, this night was destined to be spent like this, with the goblins on both sides alert and tense.
At this time, Morgan rarely sat on his throne. Instead, he stood up and walked behind the throne, stood on the edge of the throne hall, and looked in the direction of the big cave.
"It seems that even at this time, what you are most nervous about is still not tomorrow's battle, but whether the things in the big cave will come out."
An extremely abrupt voice sounded behind Morgan and reached her ears.
Morgan was not shaken at all when he heard this voice.
"Do you think you can really defeat me?"
There was no disdain in Morgan's voice, but there was a sense of contempt.
Obviously, she did not feel threatened by the Allied Forces.
"As expected of you, you are so confident."
Following these words, Lige slowly came to Morgan's side, stood side by side with him, and looked towards the big cave together.
"If I hadn't decided not to fight, I would have let you see tomorrow whether I can defeat you or not."
Li Ge's tone was so leisurely that it didn't sound like a war was about to start, but more like a meal was about to start.
Morgan's tone wasn't exactly laid back, but it was also calm enough that it didn't sound like he was about to start a fight.
"You didn't decide not to make a move, but you can't make a move." Morgan said indifferently: "Of course, if you can make a move, I have to consider whether I should turn the "gun" aimed at the cave to the battlefield."
With twelve holy spears in his hands, Morgan was not afraid of the Allied Forces at all.
To put it bluntly, even without the Queen's Army and any soldier's help, Morgan is confident that he can defeat the entire Allied Forces on his own.
You don't need to start all of them, just starting one is enough.
With just the power of a holy spear, Morgan could sweep across the battlefield and destroy the Allied forces.
Even if Lige took action and the twelve holy spears fired together, Morgan didn't think he could withstand it.
Even if it's just a random attack, the power of the Holy Spear is enough to destroy a city. Once twelve Holy Spears fire in succession, even if God comes, he will suffer.
In response, Li Ge just replied.
"Then try it." Li Ge said calmly: "Aim at me with your holy spear. Don't turn the muzzle to other places before I am destroyed by the holy spear."
"Do you dare to accept this challenge?"
Hearing this, Morgan's eyes flickered slightly and he looked at Lige.
"You want to use yourself as bait to protect the Alliance from the greatest threat?"
Morgan's eyes were cold and sharp, as if he could see through Lige's heart.
"There's no way. Even if Mashu's shield is protected by Galahad, it's unlikely to be able to block the Holy Lance's fire, right?" Liger did not deny this and said, "If you directly activate the Holy Lance and concentrate your fire, the Alliance Army will not be able to stop it."
No one from the Allied Forces thought of this except Lige.
"Is this why you came here tonight?"
Morgan made a sound as if he was sneering at something.
"Do not."
However, Lige directly denied it with one sentence, which made Morgan slightly stunned.
"These are secondary."
Liger turned around and looked at Morgan.
"…What is your main purpose?"
Morgan was silent for a while before speaking.
Perhaps, even she didn't realize that a trace of expectation actually arose in her heart.
