Under everyone's gaze, the huge white dragon did not immediately launch an attack, but circled a few times and then slowly landed on the city wall of Londinium, looking down at the ant-like humans below.
Thump-thump—
As if countless war drums were being beaten in her chest at the same time, Artoria's heart, which was of the same origin as the white dragon, was beating wildly. She stared at the white dragon, whose appearance was beautiful but whose posture was strangely twisted and ferocious. That feeling of inevitably encountering it in fate, without a doubt, the white dragon before her was Vortigern.
"Is it still too late..."
Artoria tightly gripped the Star Holy Sword in her hand and assumed a ready posture. In her mind, she subconsciously recalled the white dragon knowledge that Merlin had urgently tutored her on last night.
But... Merlin had said that the white dragon that Vortigern had transformed into was in the posture of a legendary giant dragon. But why was this white dragon in front of her standing upright, and its two front claws were like a human's? Even the color of its scales was not a pure white, but had black and blue patterns on them.
As if it had sensed the gaze of another "kindred spirit," the white dragon transformed from Vortigern's gaze swept towards Artoria's direction like a torch. Soon, the huge dragon pupils focused on the 'youthful' knight in silver and white armor.
"Arthur?"
The white dragon slowly opened its mouth and spat out two obscure and hoarse syllables.
"My King!!!"
At this time, the Round Table Knights also finally recovered from the shock of the white dragon and subconsciously rushed towards Artoria's direction. And the first to arrive were the glorious knight Lamorak and the sun knight Gawain.
Without time to respond to her knights, Artoria took a deep breath, and under the dragon's might, she looked directly into the white dragon's huge golden eyes. "Yes, I am here, Vortigern."
The girl held her holy sword. Even though the difference in their size and momentum was huge, she was neither servile nor overbearing. This performance of facing a dragon without changing her expression really made Vortigern affirm her.
But he soon came to his senses and then nodded slightly. "Very good."
His gaze, almost imperceptibly, glanced at Souya, who was standing in front of Artoria in a ready posture. Then, without any hesitation, the huge white dragon spewed out a monstrous dragon's flame.
"Be careful!"
Seeing this, Artoria's pupils shrank. She subconsciously wanted to remind everyone around her to leave quickly. But faster than her was the Souya in front of her.
"The forms of the spirits are myriad, their waves ever-changing."
An indigo stream of water appeared on the platinum-colored long spear. As the long spear swung, the stream of water quickly appeared and then turned into a water shield that enveloped Artoria and the few Round Table Knights guarding her. But the other soldiers were not so lucky.
The next moment, the dragon's flame swept across the land like a tidal wave, turning the originally lush green plain into a scorched and hot wasteland. On the barren land were countless Celtic soldiers who had been turned into charcoal by the dragon's flame before they could even shout or run away. In an instant, the air was filled with a disgusting smell of roasted meat.
When he dispelled the water shield, what came into their view was such a scene.
"Vortigern!!!"
Looking at these soldiers who had been with him day and night turning into human-shaped ashes, Gawain's eyes were instantly filled with rage. He wished he could immediately raise Caliburn and go and kill him.
"Calm down, Sir Gawain!"
And at this time, Artoria, who was also angry because this group of knights who had followed her had died so tragically, forced herself to calm down. "Don't lose your head because of the other's actions. We have to contain him as soon as possible to avoid more casualties."
The girl's voice was cold and serious. She spoke quickly, quickly assigning the responsibilities of everyone. "Sir Gawain, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Percival, you will follow me to contain the white dragon Vortigern. Sir Tristan, Gareth, you are responsible for supporting us from a distance. Remember to protect yourselves. As for Sir Lamorak," Artoria looked at him, her blue eyes full of trust and hope. "Your magical energy and Noble Phantasm are both of the water attribute. Please cooperate to protect Brother Kay and Sir Agravain in evacuating the soldiers. The battle with the white dragon is no longer something they can participate in. We can't have any more unnecessary casualties."
"Yes!"
Everyone, including him, responded in unison. The next moment, they quickly acted.
"Hehe." As if he had heard their conversation, the white dragon transformed from Vortigern sneered, suddenly straightened up, and spewed out another dragon's flame at the retreating soldiers on the other side. This time, he also flapped his wings to stir up a strong wind to cooperate with the scorching flames that swept towards them.
Caught off guard, there were countless more casualties.
"Damn it!"
Gawain, Lancelot, and the others, seeing this scene, their eyes immediately turned blood-red. They waved their holy swords and charged at his figure, which was crouching on the city wall.
And just as he was about to repeat his old trick and use another "Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation," a girl's chanting cry suddenly sounded out.
"Excalibur!!!"
The next moment, the rushing particles of light gathered into a huge river of light. Then, at her call, it turned into a huge pillar of light, and then, with the force of a mountain and a tsunami, it smashed onto the white dragon's huge figure, interrupting his movements.
There was no painful cry, no anger, just a muffled grunt like thunder. Then, when the pillar of light dissipated, his twisted figure, which was tinged with some black scorch, was revealed along with the collapsed city wall. At this moment, the destructive power of an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm was evident.
Seeing the white dragon's gaze looking over, she also snorted coldly and said loudly, "Vortigern, isn't your target always me? In that case, don't go and hurt those innocent people anymore."
"My King..."
Looking at her petite yet unusually tall and straight figure standing in the gentle breeze, her golden hair fluttering, Gawain and the others' eyes were instantly moist. The king was finally no longer that rice bucket who would be so hungry that she had no strength if she didn't eat thirty bowls of rice. The current king was a strong person who could fight against Vortigern, who had turned into a white dragon!
"How ridiculous, Arthur. The pity you show for those common people now is just because you are not strong enough yet." As if to deliberately anger her, Vortigern said in a tone of extreme sarcasm and disdain. "If you were strong enough, you wouldn't care about the life and death of these ants at all, just like a person would never remember how many slices of bread they have eaten."
"You bastard! What do you take human life for!"
Hearing him actually compare human life to bread, she was instantly furious. Without any hesitation, she controlled the magical energy in her body to surge towards the Star Holy Sword. The next moment, the holy sword emitted a brilliant light. Then she, together with the Gawain and Lancelot who had caught up, swung their holy swords and slashed at him.
"Hehe."
Seeing this scene, he sneered again. Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, a huge black longsword suddenly appeared in his right hand, which had already turned into a dragon's claw.
