[You were very puzzled and confused by this order.]
[You believed that the number one enemy at present was the Red Dragon camp's Artoria and Merlin, not Camelot, which had remained neutral and absorbed refugees since its establishment.]
[Besides, for personal reasons, you didn't want to attack Camelot, even though the queen of Camelot tormented you in your dreams every day.]
[So you raised an objection to Vortigern, but he just smiled and refused your request. When you asked why, he only said that he had his own arrangements and that you should just wait patiently.]
[You were very helpless about this and secretly cursed all the riddle-speakers to death.]
[However, after thinking for a long time, you still took the risk and told Morgan about this one night when she came to humiliate you again.]
[Hearing this news from you, Morgan was silent for a long time after her initial surprise.]
[The next night, you didn't see Morgan's arrival.]
[You understood that she had listened to your words. Even though you had betrayed her, she still chose to trust you one last time.]
[But, besides enjoying a rare night of sleep, you inexplicably felt a little lost.]
[Not long after, you and Vortigern's army were stationed not far from the royal capital of Camelot. Looking at the city that you and Morgan had built together, you felt complicated.]
[After arriving here, you strictly ordered Vortigern's army not to go out, not to harass the nearby villages and civilians. Everyone had to stay in the military camp and wait for orders.]
[After a few days like this, you saw Vortigern walk into Camelot.]
[You don't know what Vortigern talked about with Morgan after he went in, only that he came out smiling that day. After returning, he ordered a retreat from Camelot's territory, focusing on the Red Dragon's territory to the south and opening up a new battlefield.]
[And since that day, Morgan has never appeared in your dreams again.]
[With the disappearance of the status 『Nightmare』, you understood that she had completely broken off with you.]
[Under the setting sun, you bid farewell to this city. You knew that you probably wouldn't have a chance to come back in the future.]
[Not long after, the Red Dragon's side, which had been completely suppressed by the Tyrant King's army, sounded the horn for a counterattack after receiving the addition of powerful combat forces such as Lancelot, Percival, and Agravain.]
[Facing so many strong enemies, with the blessing of 『Glory of the Divine Age』, you and your army barely managed to fight them to a draw without Vortigern's leadership.]
[In one battle, with the advantage of rain, you alone fought against the four Knights of the Round Table: Gawain, Lancelot, Tristan, and Gaheris. You defeated them at the cost of serious injuries.]
[Although you were reluctant to admit it, your spear skills were still recognized by the people of Britain. They said that your spear skills were unmatched by anyone in this era.]
[You acquire the skill 『Eternal Arms Mastery (B)』]
[But although you defeated Gawain and the others, you were also unable to return because you were deep in enemy territory. And there were no other powerful general-level figures in the Tyrant King's army who could break through the encirclement to save you. You encountered a life-and-death crisis.]
[Then, you saw the handsome 'man' surrounded by soldiers, wearing armor and a blue cloak—King Arthur, Artoria. In her male form, she should be called Artorius.]
[She looked at you, surrounded, covered in sword wounds, your armor shattered, leaning on your spear to keep yourself from falling, a look of unconcealable sadness in her eyes.]
[She asked you why you would go against the world and join Vortigern, why you would turn your spear against the Celts you once protected.]
[Since she knew you had joined Vortigern, your matter had become a knot in Artoria's heart. She couldn't imagine that one of her few friends, the noble Lamorak, had become an enemy and stood on the opposite side before she could even acknowledge him.]
[She felt immense pain because of this. If Merlin hadn't required her to finish her training before leaving, she would have come to find you and ask for an explanation long ago.]
[Now, she finally asked this question.]
[You did not answer her question. Instead, you asked Artoria if she knew the consequences of the demise of the Divine Age. You wanted to know, even if Merlin and Uther chose to follow the demise of the Divine Age for the sake of a certain destiny and abandon all the people of Britain now, how would Artoria, as an independent thinker, choose?]
[To your disappointment, she knew the result of the demise of the Divine Age, but she told you in a low voice that if they didn't abandon all the people of Britain now and let the Divine Age continue, not only Britain, but the whole world would be affected, and people far exceeding the number in Britain would suffer.]
[But when you asked her for the specific time when this would happen, she fell silent again.]
[You finally understood. The perfect king created by Merlin and Uther was not the perfect king of Britain, but the perfect king of the world. For the sake of the world, she could abandon this land that had given birth to her and raised her.]
[At this time, you noticed that what Artoria was holding in her hand was not the Sword in the Stone that represented Britain, but the Holy Sword of the Planet, Excalibur, which symbolized the will of the planet.]
[This represented that she had already made a choice, to become the agent of the planet's will.]
[You understood that she was no longer the little girl you knew. Your influence on her had finally been eliminated by Merlin. She had still become the original King Arthur who did not understand the human heart, perfect yet emotionless.]
[You laughed out loud, laughing until tears streamed down your face.]
[You said, she is a king, a god, but she will never be a person, and she will never be the king of humanity.]
[This sentence stunned Artoria. And just then, Vortigern's figure suddenly appeared beside you. When everyone reacted and wanted to kill you, Vortigern took you away.]
[With his help, you healed your injuries and also received a new order.]
[No longer attack, defend the city. If necessary, you can even give up the territory you have already obtained.]
[You were very puzzled, but you didn't ask much.]
[And in the following days, you followed Vortigern's order to defend the city against the attacks of the Red Dragon's camp.]
[But while you were good at fighting, you were clearly not a good general for defending a city.]
[After learning of King Arthur's return, the cohesion of the Red Dragon's army was unprecedentedly high. They broke through many cities in one fell swoop, and you had to retreat further back.]
[One day, you were resting in a castle. In your dream, you came to a sea of flowers and saw Merlin.]
[You should have been mortal enemies, but surprisingly, you did not fight but talked instead.]
[From the conversation, you learned that Merlin's purpose was to bring Britomart back from your side. The Faerie Queene in Avalon had put pressure on him to make up for his mistake.]
[You were silent. Although Britomart didn't appear much, she had indeed accompanied you for a long time. It was impossible to say you weren't reluctant to part.]
[But you understood that she was ultimately a person of the Fairy Kingdom and should not have appeared in the Britain of Proper Human History.]
[So you agreed to Merlin's request. In exchange, he told you a piece of news.]
[That day, Vortigern went to talk to Morgan to force her not to participate in the war between the White Dragon and the Red Dragon. And the reward was that he would not attack Camelot but would also protect it.]
[Morgan finally agreed to his request. And even now, Merlin being trapped in Avalon and unable to come out was also Morgan's doing.]
[Your mood was very complicated. In this complicated mood, you parted with Britomart.]
[In the end, you could see that Britomart wanted to say something to you, but you stopped her. You understood what she meant, but now you didn't have much time or choice.]
[Two months passed like this. you had already retreated to two-thirds of your original territory. Although this was partly due to the low morale and dissatisfaction of the soldiers caused by not attacking, you also felt that the Divine Age power blessing you was fading.]
[And the Red Dragon's army had received the blessing of the world's great trend.]
[You had a premonition that something had happened to Vortigern.]
[And one day, you saw Vortigern, whom you hadn't seen in a long time. You noticed that he was in a very bad state, his spirit seemed to have aged a lot.]
[But he didn't say much, nor did he blame you. He just gave you a silver-white lance and told you to prepare for the final battle.]
[You acquire the Noble Phantasm 『The Unbreakable Holy Lance』]
[You followed Vortigern's instructions and launched the final battle against Artoria at Albion.]
[In that great battle, Vortigern fought against King Arthur, and you fought against the other Knights of the Round Table. And behind you were the bones of the Dragon of Albion, which had gathered the last power and tinder of the British Divine Age.]
[You had to wait for the fusion of the Divine Age's tinder and the Dragon of Albion, wait for the completion of the Divine Age continuation ceremony, and finally open a passage large enough for the Dragon of Albion to pass through, allowing it to slide into the Inner Sea of the Planet and become the source and passage for the continuation of the British Divine Age.]
[But, in the end, you still lost.]
[Even though Vortigern had long anticipated that Artoria would attack him with all her might, as he seemingly held the Holy Lance, the key to opening the passage to the world, and had deliberately given the real key to you. But when you burned all your blood and life to forcibly activate the Holy Lance and threw the anchor of the storm towards the target, you were still interrupted by the light of the Holy Sword of the Planet.]
[In the very end, Vortigern died under the dragon's bones, and you were pierced through the heart by Artoria's holy sword, dying in her arms.]
[The Divine Age will also finally end, and history has returned to its proper course.]
[You regret that you were ultimately unable to see Morgan one last time, but you also know that she will not see you again.]
[This is the greatest punishment for you, the traitor.]
[Deduction ends.]
[You have obtained the talents 『Dragon's Core (B)』 and 『Charisma (B)』, and have obtained the special status 『Goddess's Gaze』.]
