Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 159

The entire meeting room was immediately engulfed in silence. Despite having access to Merlin's Clairvoyance, they still faced a staggering power gap of nearly twenty times their own force.

To execute this plan, they would require nearly 2,000 soldiers to break through the army of nearly 30,000 magical beasts, and then charge into the Saxon army of roughly 10,000 in order to capture the commander.

Who could possibly carry out such a daunting task? Who possessed the courage to attempt it?

As the others looked on with disbelief, Artoria stepped forward with a resolute expression on her face and declared, "Please leave this to me!"

Gawain and the rest of the group were astounded. While they had agreed to the strategy, they lacked the courage to execute it. Yet here was Artoria, a young girl, volunteering without hesitation.

Her bravery was truly remarkable!

Feeling ashamed of their own hesitation, one by one they stepped forward to offer their assistance as well.

Shirou ignored Gawain and the others, frowning as he looked at Artoria and asked, "This is an extremely dangerous mission. Are you sure?"

Artoria met his gaze with a determined look in her eyes and replied, "There is no one more suited to this task than me. Don't worry, my King. I will bring you victory!"

Clad in mithril armor and a lion-like helmet, Artoria was a striking sight to behold. Her entire body shone like a silver lion, exuding a sense of majesty and imposing strength.

"Excellent," Shirou declared, rising to his feet. "As this strategy was proposed by Tristan, he will serve as the overall commander of this battle, and all other troops will follow his lead. Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with accordingly."

Tristan appeared taken aback by the sudden announcement. "My King, I am the nephew of King Mark!"

"I have already expressed my trust in you, and I will not doubt you. Lead the troops well," Shirou reassured him, patting his shoulder before departing the camp, with the others following closely behind.

"To be your knight is my greatest honor!" Tristan clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and then followed.

As they exited the camp, flying wyverns could be seen circling high above, and the sound of magical cannons bombarding the city's defensive barrier could be heard in the distance. Despite the relentless enemy attacks, Kay and Lamorak continued to hold the city.

Upon reaching the city gates, they found the last of their troops already assembled and ready for battle.

Shirou stepped forward to the front of the army, and the previously disorganized soldiers quickly shifted their attention towards him.

Despite the unrelenting nature of the enemy's attacks, Shirou had no time to discipline his troops. However, with his natural charisma, he was able to inspire and motivate the soldiers to fight with renewed vigor and determination.

Shirou then drew Caliburn from its scabbard and held it high in front of the eager soldiers.

"Listen closely! Gathered here are the most glorious and elite warriors who can conquer a thousand enemies at once! The army of Vortigern has arrived, leaving destruction and devastation in its wake. This is a battle for survival! Although we come from all directions and may not know each other, we must be willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of survival. Entrust your backs to your comrades and fight for life, for the future, for everything precious! Your names and glory will be immortalized!"

"King Arthur! King Arthur!"

"King Arthur! King Arthur!"

The soldiers responded with loud cheers, and even the frightened civilians in Caerleon couldn't help but join in.
