In a small grove outside the military camp, Artorius and Mordred were present.
The moonlight filtered through the bare branches, casting a pure white glow upon the snowy ground.
"Alright, alright." Artorius said with a smile, reassuring Mordred, "Don't be so nervous, Mordred. It's not such a big deal."
"Not a big deal?!" Mordred exclaimed. "But I clearly saw those women, they looked like they were going to devour you!"
"Oh, that's just a Roman specialty," Artorius repl...

As the greatest hero and the key figure in the victorious war, Artorius naturally became the center of attention at the celebration banquet.
Second only to the Roman Emperor himself.
"I have high hopes for you, Lord Artorius."
Despite being a cruel and brutal emperor, Lucius was exceedingly generous when it came to rewarding his troops. Or rather, any emperor who was not generous enough had long been wiped out by the rebellion of the Praetorian Guard. He also called Artorius...

'This is my beginning...'
After another audience with the Emperor, Artorius returned to his army.
The combined forces of the Knights of Britain and the Saxon army were larger than what Artorius had previously promised.
There were three hundred knights and their squires, while the Saxon army numbered around four thousand. In addition to the veterans who migrated from the British Isles, there were also those who joined along the way.
Among them were Saxons from the conti...

When Artorius ascended the steps of the castle once again, the first person to greet him was his nominal 'mother', Guinevere, a girl who appeared delicate on the outside but possessed a strong will on the inside.
Over the course of ten or so years spent with her, Artorius transitioned from initial resentment due to his knowledge of her 'history' to developing a profound respect for her.
After all, not everyone could embrace the role of a mother and raise her husband's non-biologic...

Good news arrived from the Roman side.
The food embargo policy has been lifted. Britain can now breathe a little easier and save more cash.
Of course, for some folks, this pales in comparison to the shock brought by the declaration of Prince Artorius Pendragon, Son of King Arthur.
"To all in Britain!"
"To all who are talented!"
"To all who seek glory and achievement!"
"To all who harbor ambitions and dream of making a difference!"

Fifteen days later, at the mouth of the Rhine River, within the Roman camp, Artorius met the current Western Roman Emperor, Lucius Tiberius.
This Roman Emperor was not enjoying the warmth of the Italian court but rather actively engaged in the frontline against the Germanic peoples.
The Rhine River served as a natural geographical boundary for 'Frankish territory'. During the Roman Empire, the Rhine was always at the forefront of resistance against the barbarians in the Black Fore...

"Artorius..." Artoria spoke up as Artorius reached this point. "I have a decree: Britain will not succumb to Rome's coercion, and I will never surrender to Rome."
"Of course, Britain will never surrender to Rome," Artorius calmly replied. "It is the Saxons who will surrender to Rome."
"What do you mean?" Artoria's expression appeared somewhat puzzled.
"What I mean is..." Artorius paused for a second and continued, "I will present myself as the leader of Saxon and pledge alle...

The next morning.
Galahad observed the energetic Gareth then Artorius, who appeared as if he hadn't slept well, yawning. He couldn't resist saying something.
"Your Highness."
"Hmm?"
"Please... exercise restraint."
"Restraint? O-Oh... I will be mindful of that."
Because the previous night, Artorius had quietly entered his tent and said, "Galahad, I trust you the most. You're my best friend, come with me!"
Yes, that night after Artorius's talk with Mord...

As usual, concealing a few things while revealing everything else.
And in the course of the narration, it naturally touched upon various matters.
Today, with Renault's help, Endeavor, who had improved his strength, was the topic of discussion. He shared with Yaoyorozu the details about Endeavor's family and his relationship with Todoroki.
Upon hearing this, Yaoyorozu was taken aback.
"I... I had heard a little about Todoroki-kun's complicated family situation, how his ...

Yaoyorozu's emotions were filled with ups and downs at this moment.
Although she knew that Renault was very strong, not inferior to those first-class Pro Heroes, she couldn't believe that he was actually the same Evolto from before.
Yes, even though Renault didn't reveal his true identity, considering what Renault said before leaving and the quick appearance of Evolto in the scene, it was hard for Yaoyorozu to think otherwise.

'He wants me to be his companion!'
Just thinking about it filled Mordred with excitement and joy.
She could hardly contain her excitement and could only express her attitude through continuous nodding.

The fear of the Saxons towards dragons had intensified.
Back then, Vortigern's reign of terror was not solely targeted at the Celts. It applied equally to the Saxons who sought refuge. Even though he was already dead, the imprint of fear remained deeply ingrained in the soul of every Saxon who set foot in Britain.
However, the Saxons still refused to yield.
Of course, that didn't mean they continued to voice their opposition either.
They waited, continued to wait, to s...

On this land, known as Scotland in later times, a young visitor arrived.

Artoria, upon hearing Vortigern's words, almost launched another attack against him. However, in the end, she refrained.
After being defeated by Artoria, regardless of Vortigern's ambitions, he was powerless.
A few minutes later, the old man died, laughing happily. Amidst his laughter, his castle dispersed like dust.
In the sky, the dark clouds dissipated, and sunlight poured down.
Artoria, bathed in sunlight, walked towards the army amidst the cheers of the masses. Ar...

Walking through the cold, empty corridor, Artorius pondered in his mind. In fact, he had long wanted to meet his great-uncle.
However, being on opposing sides, the White Dragon represented the ruthless side of Britain. It was too dangerous to meet him, so Artorius had to suppress that desire.
As for the reason he wanted to meet him, it was for 'cooperation'.
Compared to his mother, who was filled with idealism and emotions for Britain and the Celts, Artorius was more realist...

'What a good kid.'
Artorius couldn't help but think as he held Mordred.
Unlike his mother, who had stopped growing after wielding the holy sword, in theory, Mordred could continue to grow and even reach the level of his mother's version of Lancer.
But in reality, it wasn't so.
Even when the time-shifted to the Battle of Camlann, Mordred remained the same as Artoria.
She had also ceased to grow. No childhood, no future. Forever stuck at the age of fifteen.

King Arthur's army naturally achieved a resounding victory.
However, since they still had to face another battle tomorrow, the king's army hadn't completely relaxed yet.
The fortified city of Londinium had been reclaimed, but the Usurper King Vortigern had not been defeated. Tomorrow, King Arthur's great army would march into Vortigern's throne, the Northern Capital.

The scorching flames held everyone's gaze, rendering them unable to look away. Because everyone knew that the person standing there just a moment ago was Endeavor.
But due to the distance, no one knew how things had come to be this way.

However, this fire didn't cause him any harm. As he slowly retreated from the range of the fiery pillar, he glanced over to where there was no movement and calmly observed...

Nomu's reaction was incredibly fast. His slender arm blocked Renault's fist, but he was still sent flying by the merciless punch, crashing into the wall of the building behind him.
Inside the building, it had long been emptied due to the ongoing battle, so Renault didn't have to worry about harming innocent people.

Endeavor, lying on the ground, coughed up blood. He opened his unaffected right eye and saw the infuriating white helmet that appeared before ...

The war with the Saxons went smoothly.
Or perhaps, it went a little too smoothly.
In Londinium, the central fortress city of Britain, the war between the Saxons and Britain lasted for a full three days.
It began with open-field combat, followed by a siege, and then proceeded to urban warfare.
The Saxons, adorned in chainmail, wielding battle axes, with their hair loose or braided, clashed against the Britain knights, donning finely crafted plate armor, wielding steel l...
