Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1125 Are you afraid to go?
Londinium, outer city.

In an area close to the city wall and near the city gate, a carriage was galloping and came in front of Lige and his group who were leaving the war room.

The horse pulling the carriage was not an ordinary horse, but an eight-legged horse with a snow-white body and eight hooves.

"So you're still here?"

Seeing the white eight-legged horse running towards him excitedly and lowering its head in front of him, Lige was a little surprised and reached out his hand to touch its head with some astonishment.

"Do you think it's gone?" Da Vinci smiled at Liger and said, "It's our important leg strength. Even if you search all over Londinium or even the whole of Britain, there are few horses that can match it."

"If it weren't for it, we would have been caught up by Bagster who was chasing us relentlessly. How could we have escaped for more than a month and finally made it to Londinium?"

“So, we cherish it very much.”

This eight-legged horse was the one summoned by Lige using the permanent summoning method.

When he was in Norwich, he had an eight-legged horse pull the carriage to send Artoria and others away. He faced the "disaster" and Morgan's [Water Mirror] technique alone, and was sent to the 400th year of the Fairy Calendar.

After that, Lige experienced several more worlds, and was away from this world for more than a year, nearly two years.

For such a long time, Lige himself had forgotten the existence of the eight-legged horse he summoned. He never thought that it was still following Altria and others, and appeared in front of him again.

"That's right. Londinium is so poor that there aren't many ordinary horses, let alone an eight-legged horse that is a monster. This guy should be of great use here, right?"

Liger smiled as he stroked the eight-legged horse's head, causing Percival to smile bitterly.

"In fact, even among the special horses in the fairy kingdom, few can compete with this eight-legged horse in terms of strength." Mashu chimed in, "Miss Aurora did have a fairy horse. She originally wanted to give it to us, but we already had eight-legged horses, so we didn't want it. I heard that the fairy horse caused quite a stir because of this..."

"Ah... are you talking about that?" Oberon seemed to know who Mash was referring to, and said with a subtle expression: "Well, it is indeed a big fuss, but it has nothing to do with us. Let Aurora worry about it."

"I prefer eight-legged horses." Gareth said excitedly, "This is a white horse. I think it will go well with Mr. Percival!"

"Haha..." Percival said a little embarrassedly: "I am indeed good at fighting on horseback, but it feels like a waste to give me such a good horse. Let it continue to perform its duty of assisting the Son of Prophecy. This is the most important thing."

"So, are we going to travel by horse carriage this time?" Habertlot didn't seem to care much about this matter, and said, "We are going to Edinburgh, right?"

"That's right." Da Vinci nodded and said, "The purpose of our trip is to go to the territory of the King's Clan, form an alliance with the King's Clan, and let the King's Clan join our camp."

In order to compete with the Queen's Army, everyone agreed that it was necessary to introduce partners to achieve this goal.

The gap between the Round Table Army and the Queen's Army is too big. Even if the Wind Clan, the Earth Clan, and the Wing Clan are likely to turn against them and join their camp, it will be difficult for them to defeat the Queen's Army.

Especially when Liger is unable to go to war with Morgan, the Round Table Army needs strong allies to join in order to gain some chance of winning in the action against the Queen.

The choice of the ally finally fell on the King's Clan.

why?

the reason is simple.

In Britain, the greatest force is undoubtedly the Queen's Army, which rules the entire fairy kingdom.

However, Morgan's reign of terror in Britain also led to the emergence of resistance forces.

Before this, there were a total of three forces in Britain that chose to rebel against the Queen for similar but different purposes.

These three forces are:

The Round Table Army is mainly composed of humans, and they want to pursue reasonable and legal treatment for humans, with the ultimate goal of achieving peaceful coexistence between humans and fairies.

A clan of kings, mainly composed of fairies, who want to overthrow the queen, rule Britain by legal means, and take the throne themselves.

There is also a resistance army based in the city of Sheffield, which is half out of revenge and half out of ambition.

It is said that the Lord of Sheffield was once a goblin who competed with Woodworth for the position of clan leader of the Fang Clan.

After his defeat at the hands of Woodworth, he headed for the port city of Norwich, but was driven out by Spriggan, the chief of the Earth Clan, and so developed a grudge against both Spriggan and Norwich.

He then formed a rebel group in Sheffield with the intention of defeating the Queen's Army and overthrowing Morgan.

However, whether it was because his ambition was too obvious or because Morgan found him too annoying, shortly after Liger left Camelot and ran out of the palace, Morgan ordered the Fairy Knight to lead the Queen's Army to raze Sheffield to the ground.

Therefore, there are only two forces left in Britain today that resist the Queen.

One is the Round Table Army.

One is the most special among the six fairy clans - the King's Clan.

Therefore, it is more accurate to say that the Round Table had no other candidates except the King's Clan rather than choosing the King's Clan.

The territory of the King's Clan is in Edinburgh.

"As I recall... Edinburgh, like Orkney, is in the north of Britain, right?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said this uncertainly.

"It's in the north, Master." Mash said quickly: "Although it's not as close to the coast as Orkney, apart from Orkney, Edinburgh is the northernmost city in the whole of Britain."

"It's better to say that Edinburgh is just in front of Orkney." Habertlot said with great familiarity: "Didn't you pass by Edinburgh when you went to Orkney last time?"

If you want to go to Orkney, the northernmost part of Britain, you will have to pass through many cities if you take the national road.

Take Salisbury as an example. If you want to go from this most liberal city to Orkney in the north, you need to pass through Gloucester, Manchester and Edinburgh in succession.

Last time, after leaving Norwich, Altria and others first went to Oxford along the national road, rang the Oxford pilgrimage bell, then returned to Salisbury, and then used Salisbury as a starting point to go to Gloucester and Manchester.

Among them, Gloucester is the territory of the Winged Clan, where Artoria rang the fourth pilgrimage bell. Manchester is the territory given to Bagster by Morgan, where Artoria and others began to be pursued by Bagster. After a while of trouble in Manchester, they successfully broke away and officially entered the northern part of Britain.

Along the way, Artoria and the others slept in the open air, entered the territory of the extinct Mirror Clan, and experienced many adventures before finally arriving in Orkney.

Edinburgh is just in front of Orkney. If Altria and others successfully arrived in Orkney, they should have passed by there.

In response to this, Artoria seemed a little hesitant.

"I-We were just passing through, we didn't enter Edinburgh."

Seeing her suspicious look, not only the others, but even Lige looked at Altria suspiciously.

"You don't dare to go to Edinburgh, do you?" Li Ge suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember you seem to know the current queen of the King's Clan, right?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"W-Why do you know this?!"

Altria was also shocked.

"I know more than you think." Liger narrowed his eyes and said to Altria meaningfully: "Of course, after really getting to know you, I still feel surprised."

"Although you have always been lonely, if you think about it carefully, you actually know a lot of people in Britain."

"That's the case with the one from the King's Clan. Even Bagster, you knew him before, right?"

While Liger was still traveling with Artoria, Artoria acted very familiar with Bagster, who was still Gawain at the time, and it didn't seem like they were meeting for the first time at all.

If Lige had not known the original work and knew that the reason why Artoria knew these people was all due to various coincidences, he would have doubted whether Artoria was really imprisoned and abused in Tintagel.

Now that Lige brought up the matter, although Artoria looked ashamed to speak up, she still explained hesitantly.

"I know her because she once came to Tintagel."

The reason why I met Bagster was because of Eckert.

When Artoria was still in Tintagel, Bagster heard from somewhere that there was a skilled blacksmith on the coastline of Tintagel, so she came here, found Ector's workshop, and commissioned Ector to make a set of armor for her.

At that time, Altria happened to be looking for Ector, and the two met each other.

It was also by coincidence that Altria saw the name Bagst used to make the armor, and Bagst used his real name at that time.

Therefore, Altria knew Bagster's real name from the beginning, which is why she kept calling her "Bagster".

As for the King's Clan...

"I met her in Gloucester." Altria muttered, "That was five years ago. I was only 11 years old at that time. I couldn't say I was familiar with her at all, right?"

"If you expect me to use this to get close to her and make her agree to the alliance, forget it."

"That guy...how should I put it? Very self-centered?"

"Anyway, I don't think she's the type to happily come up to me just because she sees a familiar face. Considering her ultimate goal, I might become a thorn in her side..."

As she spoke later, Altria's tone became weaker and weaker, and it was obvious that she had no confidence.

As for why she and the people of the King's Clan met in Gloucester, and how they knew each other, she seemed to have no intention of telling anyone else.

Li Ge knew what was going on.

But since Altria didn't want to say it, he wouldn't expose the girl's shortcomings.

...The main reason is that I'm afraid that this girl will get desperate and suddenly pounce on me and bite me.

After all, there were some reasons why she went to Gloucester at that time that she was embarrassed to talk about.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get going!" Artoria deliberately changed the subject and said stiffly, "The journey from Londinium to Edinburgh is not short, and we don't have much time left, right? Let's get going quickly!"

After hearing this, everyone was very curious, but seeing that Altria showed her attitude that she would not allow them to ask any further questions, they had no choice but to give up.

Besides, the journey from Londinium to Edinburgh is indeed quite long.

You know, Londinium is very close to the southernmost part of Britain, and Edinburgh is the northernmost city after Orkney.

To go from Londinium to Edinburgh is almost like going from the southernmost part of Britain to the northernmost part.

This is almost the longest distance across Britain.

If we don't hurry up, with less than a week left, something serious is going to happen.

"According to the shortest route, if we start from here, we still need to pass through Oxford, Salisbury, Gloucester and Manchester before we can enter the north and go to Edinburgh."

Auberon stood there with one hand on his waist and spoke.

"If we go through Camelot, the route can actually be shorter, but that's the enemy's base camp, there's no reason to go there and die."

Camelot is located in the center of Britain, and there is a road on its east side that leads directly to Londinium.

Although it will also pass through Oxford, if you take the road on the Camelot side, you can directly reach Gloucester and Manchester and enter the north without having to detour through Salisbury on the west side.

Of course, this is the case when taking the national highway.

If you take the shortest route, you can just fly there directly.

Unfortunately, that would require passing through Camelot, and would also expose them directly to Camelot's sight. Except for the skilled and courageous Lige, no one else dared to do that.

Considering safety, it is best to detour via Salisbury.

"No, no need to bother."

Lige patted the eight-legged horse's head, turned around and said something.

"I can use teleportation magic to directly cross a large distance."

“Although I have not been to Gloucester or Manchester, I have been to Camelot.”

"As long as we open the [portal] to the north of Camelot, we can pass through the mountains and go directly to the north."

As for how to cross the mountains, that’s still the old way.

"I'll fly you there."
