Chapter 1123 Fighting for Their Own Stands
The next day, early in the morning.
When Britain's iconic dusk sky reappeared, in the abandoned city of Londinium, the soldiers of the Round Table Army had already gotten up early and gathered together for training.
The logistics staff also started working very early, some were forging iron, some were weaving, and some were cooking, making a lively and energetic scene appear in Londinium again, adding an unknown amount of popularity to this abandoned city.
Li Ge also got up very early.
There is no way. As time goes by, the curse that fills the whole of Britain has been getting thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye. Others may not be able to notice this change, but in the eyes of Lige, who has mastered the spell system, this change is too conspicuous and too stimulating to his sensitive nerves.
This meant that Lige couldn't just lie in bed and sleep soundly any longer, so he had no choice but to get up early, come out of the room, and take a slow walk in Londinium, so that he could observe the quality of the Round Table Army.
Along the way, many people who saw Li Ge greeted him very respectfully and enthusiastically. There were even a few girls who ran up to him and handed him some simple breakfast. Only when they saw him accept it did they run away with a slightly blushing face, which was quite youthful.
Apparently, after a night of fermentation, the story of Lige breaking into the Queen's Army camp alone and seriously injuring Bagster and repelling him had spread among Londinium.
Therefore, everyone in Londinium knew that this young man, who looked younger than the captain Percival, actually had amazing combat power, and even the famous Fairy Knight was no match for him.
This man was previously considered the son of prophecy. He defeated the Fairy Knight several times and even conquered Woodworth, the patriarch of the Fang Clan. He killed the brave man who once saved Britain and even became the husband of Queen Morgan. He once had the title of prince and was second only to the emperor in the whole of Britain.
Such people are human beings just like them, and they should be born weak like humans.
These deeds and halos made it impossible for Lige not to be famous. When Lige passed by the training ground, all the soldiers saluted him in unison with respectful eyes. If Lige had not been accustomed to such scenes, he might not have been able to respond with a nod calmly and then leave leisurely.
All I can say is that although he disappeared in Britain for more than a month, and the end of the world was approaching, Liger finally hurried back. But although he was gone, Britain was still full of legends about him.
This also indirectly explains how many things Lige did and how big a sensation he caused when he came to this world last time.
And this time when he comes back, the actions that Lige is going to take will definitely be bigger than the last time.
After all, unlike last time, Lige had a clear goal this time.
So, when Lige came back from his walk, he was already prepared for the next move.
But he was not the only one who was racing against time. Some people were even more anxious than him.
Therefore, when Li Ge walked back to the position close to the training ground, a messenger immediately ran over.
"Captain, please go to the war room!"
The messenger respectfully brought Lige to Londinium's headquarters, where the operations room was located.
It is a place where you can have a panoramic view of the entire Londinium.
It seemed to have originally been a bell hall, but unfortunately Londinium was not the territory of any fairy clan, and there was no pilgrimage bell in the bell hall. It was just a place built to imitate other big cities with more symbolism than practicality.
Naturally, as Londinium became a ruined city, the bell hall also became dilapidated, with even the walls being incomplete and broken in several places.
The so-called war room is located in one of the rooms here. The room below it seems to be used as a guest room, where Artoria and the people of Chaldea usually take a temporary rest.
But when Lige arrived here, it was already crowded with people.
Percival was already there, as were Habertlot and Gareth, as well as Altria, as well as Ritsuka Fujimaru, Mash, Da Vinci and other people from Chaldea.
Even Oberon had arrived, and when he saw Liger come in, he immediately smiled with relief.
"Finally you're here, Liger. I didn't expect you to be the last one to arrive."
The Goblin King seemed to be as well-informed as ever. He should have known that Lige had gotten up very early, but he did not expect that he was the last person to arrive at the war room.
"I walked a little in Londinium."
Li Ge did not adopt a perfunctory attitude and simply explained it.
"I'm glad you like Londinian." Percival couldn't help but smile, then he became serious again and said, "Mr. Brighout..."
As soon as this name came out, Liger interrupted Percival.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Lige."
Liger shook his head.
"Okay." Percival did not hesitate, but said: "Since Mr. Liger is here, let's start today's meeting."
Hearing this, Lige walked to the side without any objection, folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and cast his eyes on Altria.
At this moment, Altria seemed to no longer be as conflicted as she was last night, and returned to her usual unreliable self. She was whispering something with Gareth and they seemed to be on good terms.
Li Ge was still quite pleased about this.
"That friendless Altria is no longer alone."
Unlike before when she had always been dependent on Liger, Artoria has now established connections with others through her own abilities.
This connection may not be considered deep, but compared to the lonely and helpless state at the beginning, it is undoubtedly much better.
Habertlot, the first generation fairy knight who once followed the previous Child of Prophecy, did not seem to be very interested in this Child of Prophecy. Instead, she chatted very attentively with Mash, and they looked like a pair of sisters.
On the contrary, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Leonardo da Vinci both looked very serious, as if they had something to say.
In fact, this meeting was held because Chaldea had something to say.
Da Vinci clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
"I'm sorry to have you all come all the way here," Da Vinci said. "We actually asked Percival to call you all here. I know you all want to relax, after all, the Queen's Army has finally retreated, and you learned such a secret last night. You all must need some time to sort out your thoughts."
"But I still have to say that we don't have much time."
With just one sentence, everyone who was chatting fell silent. The atmosphere in the war room gradually became solemn, as if a storm was about to come.
"Is time running out?" Oberon pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Indeed, we don't have much time."
"Perhaps you don't know it, but the curse in Britain is growing stronger day by day."
"According to the secret news from the Wind Clan, I heard that in recent times, a large number of Mors have been attacking major cities in Britain."
"Although it's not yet at the point where a 'disaster' will arrive, if this trend continues, before long, let alone a 'disaster', even a 'major disaster' could break out at any time."
This is definitely not good news.
But after Lige's revelations yesterday, everyone has more or less gained some ability to bear it, especially after learning that the source of the "Great Disaster" is the curse of the Beast God Cernunnos. They have long anticipated the impending outbreak of the "Great Disaster" and have made mental preparations, so they are not panicked.
However, Leonardo da Vinci's next words gave everyone a great sense of urgency.
"We contacted Chaldea's headquarters last night and reported the intelligence to them. They also gave us feedback."
Leonardo da Vinci explained with a serious expression.
"If the calculations at headquarters are correct, then in less than a week, the collapse that could wipe out pan-human history will occur."
"It is no longer the Queen's calendar year 2017, but the Queen's calendar year 2018."
"If the Great Disaster really occurs once every thousand years, and it has only occurred once since the beginning of the Queen's Calendar, then the second Great Disaster has been delayed for eighteen years. It is now no surprise that it can occur at any time."
In other words, not only is there no time left in pan-human history, but there is also not much time left in the British Lostbelt.
"If we don't find a way to stop Morgan, then not only will pan-human history collapse, but the Queen will not be able to save the fairies and humans."
This is not just a matter of pan-human history, it also concerns the life and death of many lives in Britain.
After all, Queen Morgan does not intend to exorcise the "Great Disaster", but intends to sit back and watch it as she did before, and use the magic power accumulated in the Amyrlin Throne to restore Britain's vitality after the "Great Disaster" is over, or even expand Britain's territory and replace pan-human history.
If things come to that, pan-human history will certainly be destroyed, and those fairies and humans who cannot be saved will also die.
"Even if Britain no longer exists and the fairies are not worth saving, it is necessary for everyone in the Round Table Army to go with us to pan-human history and pursue a new life, right?"
Da Vinci glanced at Liger before speaking to the rest of the people except Chaldea.
"So, whether we want to protect the fairies and humans in Britain or preserve the pan-human history as our final destination, we have to fight Queen Morgan, right?"
In response to Leonardo da Vinci's question, Oberon and Percival looked at each other and then nodded.
"Regardless of what the future of Britain will be, we must overthrow Morgan." Oberon nodded and said, "Only by overthrowing Morgan and allowing Altria to ascend the throne and become the new king can we use the magic power accumulated in the throne to resist the threat of the "Great Disaster."
“This is the best solution that can be thought of at the moment.”
"If we cannot seize the throne and obtain the power within it, many fairies and humans will surely die."
Oberon deliberately added humans, probably to appease Liger, right?
After all, Liger's attitude was very clear. Like Morgan, he believed that the goblins were not worth saving.
But the people present obviously didn't think so.
Maybe some goblins are not worth saving, but they can't just sit back and watch the lives of some goblins.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just look at the Wind Clan who have been assisting them all along. Can everyone just watch them die?
Therefore, regardless of what the future of Britain will be, at present, everyone still wants to exorcise the "great disaster" that is about to break out and try to save the lives of the fairies and humans in Britain.
Let’s talk about other things after we get through this “great disaster”.
This is an unspoken idea among everyone except Lige.
The same is true for Altria.
"... Next, are we going to go to war with Morgan?"
Altria spoke in a low voice, causing everyone's faces to tense.
"Ms. Habemeow..."
Mashu glanced at Habertlot beside him with some concern.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't have any objection." Habertlot shook his head at Mash and said in a relaxed tone, "To be honest, I don't care about the future of Britain or what will happen to the fairies."
"If even Jian couldn't do it, I don't think I can do it either."
"Besides, after what happened, who wants to care about the life or death of this British fairy?"
Habertlot shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"As for going to war with Queen Morgan... I have no problem with that."
No one knows better than Habertlot that the current Queen Morgan is no longer the savior she once was.
The queen who had experienced despair over the fairies and finally decided to ascend the throne was now just a witch who had abandoned the past and only wanted to protect Britain, willing to sacrifice everything for it and ignore her past friends.
In Habertlot's view, Queen Morgan is just a tool that can only protect Britain.
...No, even the original savior, Ash, was just a tool that could only protect Britain.
But what Habertlot wanted to follow was never an emotionless tool.
Now, she is more interested in pan-human history and Chaldea than in this sinful Britain.
Since Chaldea was preparing to go to war with Queen Morgan, she had no choice but to stand on this side.
As early as more than two thousand years ago, she and Morgan, who was still an ash, had parted ways and they no longer had any relationship.
Then let's each fight for our own positions, Ash...
