Chapter 1635 - 1124: You’re Not Afraid to Go, Are You?
Londinium, outer district.
In this area close to the city walls and near the gate, a carriage was rushing towards Reiger and his companions, who had just left the war chamber.
The horse pulling the carriage was not an ordinary horse, but an eight-legged horse that was pure white all over.
"So you’re still here, huh?"
Seeing this white eight-legged horse eagerly running towards him and lowering its head in front of him, Reiger was somewhat surprised and reached out to touch its head.
"Did you think it was gone?" Da Vinci smiled at Reiger and said, "It’s our crucial means of transport. You’d be hard-pressed to find a horse across Londinium or even all of Britannia that can compare to it."
"If it hadn’t been for it, Bagster would have caught up to us long ago, and we couldn’t possibly have escaped for more than a month and finally made it to Londinium."
"So, we cherish it very much."
This eight-legged horse was originally summoned by Reiger through a permanent summoning method.
Back in Norwich, he had the eight-legged horse pull a carriage to send Altoria and others away, while he faced the "Catastrophe" and Morgan’s [Water Mirror] technique alone, being sent to the Fairy Age 400.
After that, Reiger experienced several worlds, having been away from this world for nearly two years.
During such a long time, Reiger even forgot the existence of this summoned eight-legged horse, never expecting it to have stayed with Altoria and others and appeared before him again.
"Well, Londinium is so poor, there aren’t many ordinary horses, let alone an eight-legged horse that’s inherently a magical creature. This guy must be quite useful here?"
Reiger smiled, continuing to stroke the eight-legged horse’s head, causing Pasival to smile wryly.
"In fact, even among the special horses in the Fairy Country, there are few whose power can match this eight-legged horse." Matthew chimed in obediently: "Miss Aurora had a fairy horse, which she intended to give to us. But since we already have the eight-legged horse, we didn’t accept it. I heard that the fairy horse caused quite a stir because of this..."
"Ah... you’re talking about that?" Alberon seemed to know who Matthew was referring to, his expression a bit subtle: "Yes, it did cause quite a commotion, but it’s not our problem; let Aurora handle it."
"I personally prefer the eight-legged horse." Gareth said enthusiastically: "It’s a white horse, it seems like it’d go really well with Mr. Pasival!"
"Haha..." Pasival said somewhat embarrassedly: "I am indeed good at horseback fighting, but it feels like such a good horse would be wasted on me. It’s still important to let it continue to fulfill its duty of assisting the Child of Prophecy; that’s the most important thing."
"So, are we taking the carriage this time?" Habettelot, seeming indifferent about such matters, said: "Are we heading to Edinburgh?"
"Yes." Da Vinci nodded, saying: "Our goal this time is to head to the territory of the King’s Clan and form an alliance with them, to have them join our ranks."
To counter the queen’s army, everyone unanimously agreed that introducing partners was necessary to achieve this goal.
The gap between the Round Table army and the queen’s army was simply too large. Even if the Wind Clan, Earth Clan, or Feather Clan might defect to their ranks, it’s still challenging to defeat the queen’s forces.
Especially since Reiger cannot battle Morgan, the Round Table army needs strong allies to join in, aiming to gain any chance of victory in the actions opposing the queen.
The selection of this ally eventually fell upon the King’s Clan.
Why?
The reason is straightforward.
In Britannia, the largest force undoubtedly is the queen’s army that rules the entire Fairy Country.
Yet, Morgan’s terrifying rule over Britannia hasn’t gone without causing the emergence of resistance forces.
Before this, there were a total of three forces in Britannia that chose to resist the queen for similar yet different motives.
These three forces are—
The Round Table army, led by humans, who strive for legitimate rights for humans, aiming to achieve the ultimate goal of peaceful coexistence between humans and fairies.
The King’s Clan, dominated by fairies, who wish to overthrow the queen and rule Britannia through legitimate means, aiming to take the throne themselves.
Then there is a resistance army based in the city of Sheffield, moving half in revenge and half in ambition.
It is said that Sheffield’s lord once fought with Woodworth for the position of chieftain of the Tusk Clan but lost, later moving to the port city of Norwich, only to be ousted by the Earth Clan’s chieftain, Spurgen, thus forming a grudge against Spurgen and Norwich.
Subsequently, he established a resistance in Sheffield, intending to overthrow the queen’s army and defeat Morgan.
However, whether due to his desires being too apparent or Morgan finding him too troublesome, Morgan dispatched the queen’s army led by the Elf Knight soon after Reiger left Camelot and fled the palace, razing Sheffield to the ground.
Now, only two forces remain in Britannia that resist the queen.
One is the Round Table army.
The other is the most special existence among the six major fairy clans—the King’s Clan.
