What I saw and heard down the hill made my brow furrow.

Although I don't think that the knight of unknown origin can really contain the girl who is the king of knights, but he always gives people a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored, which shows that he is a rare and strong enemy.

And, most strangely, I can't exactly treat it as an enemy.

I always feel that doing so is a great blasphemy and an insult to myself.

…………

After thinking about it, I called the girl who was teaching Ios to be in high spirits.

"Lord Commander, Knight Artoria is here, do you want me to fight?" The blonde girl stood two steps in front of me, with a meticulous and serious expression.

“……”

Out of the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but smile wryly at the sight of Ios, whose face was swollen and almost unconscious, who was casually thrown aside by her.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Adjust my mentality, and I told the girl who was ready to go about what I had just seen and heard.

…………

"Commander, from what you described, it seems to be a real knight. But why did he choose to hide his identity? ”

After listening to my description, the girl thought about her beautiful chin held by her right hand.

"Artoria, do you have a clue? Have you ever seen a knight like him in Camelot? I asked.

“…… I'm sorry, I'm not impressed," the girl's eyes showed an apologetic look, "but his ability to unite people's hearts is so remarkable, and he can contain me so confidently, he can't think of it as a simple person." We have to pay enough attention to him! ”

"That's true." I nodded, sighing inwardly.

…………

Sure enough, things couldn't have gone so well.

Regardless of the mysterious nameless knight, the remaining hundreds of ordinary warriors on the other side will never stand still.

In the worst-case scenario, the girl is pinned down by the other party's knight, then Buck and I will have to deal with them alone!

Although these brave men are not to be feared when they are brought out alone, it is really hard to say which side can survive to the end under the consumption of their crowd tactics.

What's more, we also have to distract from protecting Ios, who has lost his mobility.

If this is the case, the battle situation can be described as extremely bad!

When I think of this, the pressure in my heart is extraordinarily great.

…………

"Lord...... Eimiya-sama, they are marching again. On the other side, a knight is leading the team at the front of the team, and he is sprinting towards the top of the mountain several times faster than before! ”

Buck's report next to me interrupted my thoughts.

"Commander, please let me fight! I promise you, the knight on the other side will be dealt with as quickly as possible! Without waiting for me to say anything, the girl took the initiative to ask for battle.

"Be careful, I'll keep an eye on you."

Looking at the girl's clear blue eyes, I tried my best to control the emotions in my heart and instructed as calmly as possible.

"Understood, please wait here for good news." The girl sniffed lightly and accepted the order.

The sword was unsheathed, and with the golden light in the sky, the girl turned around and rushed down the mountain.

…………

"Lord Emiya, Lord Artoria is a holy sword envoy, and she will definitely win a great victory." Seeing me staring at the girl's back for a long time, Buck comforted me.

"I hope so." I exhaled the air I was holding in my lungs and muttered.

Even though the intensified gaze kept falling on the girl's slender back, I still felt a strong sense of unease.

If I could, I would like to rush down at this moment, ignore anything, and follow the girl to fight side by side.

…………

However, this is a battle between knights, and no third person is allowed to intervene in it, not even me.

Although neither side expressed this meaning, but both acquiesced to this article. The fact that the opposing knight chose to lead the charge and completely expose himself to our sight is the best proof of this.

Therefore, the maiden must fight alone, and this is related to the honor of the knight.

Besides, Ios couldn't move, and Buck alone would never be able to protect him from hundreds of people.

Therefore, I can only watch the girl get farther and farther away from me in this cowardly way, but I can't help anything......

…………

At the same time, at full speed, the distance between the two sides was getting closer.

The girl's posture is so resolute, even in the face of such a surging crowd.

Her heart was so pure, she never wavered.

On the other hand, as the distance shrank, his body trembled abnormally violently.

This makes me wonder.

The Nameless Knight, is he excited, nervous, or afraid?

To a girl who is obviously meeting for the first time?!

…………

Eventually, with only twenty paces left between the two sides, both sides stopped in unison.

"My name is Artoria Pendragon, a knight of Britain. Can you tell me your name and surname? ”

With an awe-inspiring voice, the girl first repaid her name with a knight's gift.

“……”

However, the knight on the other side just glanced at the girl and lowered his head.

"Your Excellency has unspeakable troubles? If it is not convenient to give your name, the previous title is acceptable. The girl continued to ask.

But the other knight did not react. No matter how the girl looked at him, she didn't say a word.

…………

Although the Unknown Knight remained silent, the crowd behind him exploded.

"Hey, did you hear that, the girl's last name?"

"Oh my God, did you hear that, too? I thought I was hallucinating! Pendragon ...... That's the British royal family's surname! ”

"No one in Britain has dared to use the surname of the king yet, it must be true, that girl must be a royal family! Could it be that she has something to do with the Knight King of Britain? ”

"It's really possible! The Knight King is armed with the Sword of Victory, so it is not surprising that his descendants can become the Holy Sword Messenger. But speaking of the knight king, alas...... It's hard not to sigh. Even in our Ireland, there has never been such a great king, but unfortunately it ended up like that......"

"yes...... The knight king died, and as soon as the round table was dispersed, Britain was not far from extinction...... But fortunately, there is a successor to the knight queen. The girl's brilliance is still shining, and there is still hope for the way of knighthood! ”

…………

The crowd was talking, and in the eyes that looked at the girl, the hostility disappeared for the most part, replaced by reverence and appreciation.

The girl's expression was a little strange.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but snicker.

I can fully imagine the "collapse" of the girl's heart at this moment.

Because of his deeds, he was treated by people who loved the house and Wudi......

…………

"The Holy Sword Envoy handed it over to me. Rest assured, I won't hurt her. Go and catch the man on the top of the mountain. The knight, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said suddenly.

The Unknown Knight said to the people behind him.

He still didn't choose to respond to the girl's words.
