From the distance of Animusfia, the figure of Artoria Alter, who was fighting the white dragon, could be clearly seen.
Although the soldiers on the battlefield not far away could not observe the black Saber moving up and down near the dragon, they could not turn a blind eye to the existence of the white dragon.
Although the French soldiers who survived and still had the will to fight have been familiar with the bipedal dragons and ordinary dragons that had only appeared in legends in the past as enemies.
Fear must linger in everyone's heart, but fear does not mean that you cannot fight.
Although the resistance had little hope of success, they were still unwilling to give up.
For the French soldiers who were still resisting, the only thing they could lose was their own lives.
There is no happiness in the mere act of living. The value of life does not lie in itself, but in what 'life' can hold and what it can gain.
Therefore, when a person only has his own life left, there is nothing he cannot do if he abandons his life.
Perhaps some people just accepted their fate and died under the claws of wyverns and giant dragons, and were buried in the belly of beasts.
Even among the soldiers who had been fighting until now, many of them chose to stay in the fortress and wait to die when Gil de Re decided to abandon the fortress and join Arturia in the decisive battle with the Dragon Witch.
But some people choose to resist at the last moment.
People who have nothing are more likely to be strong.
All soldiers who fought here lost family members, wealth, or other important things.
They are the ones who choose to resist until the end.
Although we can understand those soldiers who ran away and simply gave up resistance, they chose to resist.
.........
The soldiers were all stunned as they stared at the huge figure of the white dragon and the lava it drew from the ground.
But obviously this white dragon cannot be compared with the giant dragons encountered before.
Regardless of body shape or coercion————————
It is completely incomparable to the so-called 'dragon' summoned by the Dragon Witch.
It's not that they want to escape subjectively, they just watch from a distance and are unable to act.
Rather than saying that it was the 'dragon' that made them tremble, it was something that the white dragon represented that made them unable to move.
The soldiers who were unable to move were quickly killed by tens of thousands of flying dragons.
The French army's stalemate with the wyverns under the cover of artillery was also torn apart in an instant.
Originally, the French army was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and the soldiers often had to work together to deal with a bipedal flying dragon.
Gil de Rey's original intention was never to annihilate the wyvern. He just wanted to delay the large number of miscellaneous soldiers for Joan of Arc, Artoria and others.
Therefore, we rely on artillery positions to reduce the combat width of our own troops from the formation. In this way, no matter how many enemies there are, the number that can reach the front line is always limited, making the enemy's numerical advantage no longer effective.
The advantages of doing this are obvious, but the weaknesses are also obvious.
Once there is a slight flaw in the front line, a large number of enemies waiting for work will pour in and surround them.
Arturia also felt the pressure.
But unlike the soldiers, she knew exactly where this sense of oppression came from.
For the sake of power, Vortigern did not hesitate to become an inhuman being and became the embodiment of the British land.
Artoria's biological father, King Uther, was the last king to hold 'power'.
Concerned about how the future king would protect the country without 'power', Uther finally decided to create a successor with 'power' - Arthur - with the help of the court magician Merlin.
This is the truth about her birth.
Perhaps Artoria felt a little disappointed when she first learned about it.
But then she devoted herself to her 'mission' without hesitation.
Whether it was her mission or the purpose for which she was created, Artoria was willing to do such a thing.
Unfortunately, by the time she was actually working on it, King Uther had passed away.
The man who killed Uther was Vortigern, the king of a neighboring country and Uther's brother.
It was Vortigern who attracted the foreign Saxons, and with the help of the Saxons launched a war in the name of unifying Britain.
After all, in Britain at this time, the so-called king was just the leader of a tribe.
The father of King Uther and Vortigern was once the leader of a larger tribe. When Vortigern and Uther came here, they divided the tribe among his sons.
Since they are brothers, there is nothing wrong with Vortigern taking back his claimed land as the elder brother.
But compared to King Uther, who was called the "Wise King", Vortigern's reputation as a king was not good.
Arturia finally pulled out the sword in the stone and embarked on the journey to become a king.
She saved a tribe, set it up as a stronghold, and fought against the Saxons with the help of her adopted brother and the many knights who followed her later.
In the last step, they expanded their power, and finally came to Camelot, the fortress city that King Uther built during his lifetime, occupied by Vortigern.
Only she and the knight Gawain participated in this decisive battle and knew Vortigern's true identity.
In order to gain power, Vortigern bound himself to the land of Britain forever, lost himself, and became the incarnation of the land of Britain.
King Arthur just has the heart of a dragon.
But Vortigern completely transformed into a dragon and the incarnation of Britain.
As long as he was on British soil, he was invincible.
Fortunately, this is France, across the sea from Britain, otherwise Artoria would have been defeated by now.
"What a fate. I didn't expect to see you again here."
Vortigern did not continue to attack, but spoke to Artoria Alt in the form of a dragon.
Panting slightly, Artoria did not continue the attack.
The opponent did not press forward step by step, so this time to adjust her condition was very precious to her.
"But this attitude is different from the one I know of you. Sure enough, you failed, Arthur."
Arturia, who appears in the form of Alter, almost doesn't match the legendary King Arthur except for her appearance.
Compared with the knight in white armor, she now looked more like the humble King Vortigern she had seen before.
"Yes, I failed."
Artoria simply admitted that it was beyond Vortigern's expectations.
The dragon's golden eyes were full of surprise.
"You don't deny it?"
"Those are facts. Even if you don't want to accept it, even if you don't want to admit it, the facts are the facts. I used to be a king who didn't understand people's hearts, and this cannot be changed."
The black saber raised her head and looked at each other with two pairs of golden eyes.
"Huh--he obviously looks like a lost dog, but he looks more like a king than before. It's really ironic, you only know how to be a king after you fail."
A low voice came from Vortigern's dragon head.
Although the tone was not so comfortable, compared to Vortigern, whom Artoria had briefly come into contact with during the battle, Vortigern was more like her elder at this time.
It was this that made her doubtful.
But Artoria still has a problem:
"Those things aside, since it's you...why do you want to help the Dragon Witch?"
If it were another heroic spirit—even Lancelot, Artoria would think that he was affected by the contract made by the Holy Grail.
Only Vortigern she couldn't understand.
"If it were you, magic of that level wouldn't be able to interfere with you at all, right?"
