Seizing the opportunity, "Altria" behind him pressed the handle with her body and pushed the short blade inward. With a crisp "clang" sound, Menechel's body was nailed to the ground.
Menechel subconsciously tried to grab the lost spear, but his hand was held down first.
Menechel raised his head unwillingly, only to see the solemn knights in front of him suddenly move to both sides, and a woman wearing a black veil walked out slowly from the center.
"Morgan!"
Menechel gritted his teeth and struggled to rush out, but his body was pinned down by another body and he could not move.
"Very surprising, right?" Morgan walked three steps away from Menachere and stopped. "It's just some tricks... You and I are really alike. You actually lost to the same trick."
It was not difficult for Morgan to disguise a person's appearance with magic. Previously, she had used the same method to have her subordinates disguise themselves as Menachere and successfully captured Altria.
"What have you done to Altria?!"
"Have you finally called me by my name?" Morgan said this, but his eyes stayed on Menechel. A blue-gold light suddenly appeared on his lower abdomen.
——That was the scabbard she wanted to retrieve!
Morgan was certain in her heart. She raised her cane and ordered the woman on Minachell's back, "Assassin, hold him down."
Assassin snorted coldly and did not respond, but increased the strength in his hands.
"Avril..."
Menechel heard a familiar voice and tried to turn back in surprise but his neck was caught.
Morgan seized the opportunity in the moment of distraction. She raised her cane and stabbed the tip of it into Minachell's back.
The blue-gold magic power gathered upwards along his palm, and the aura on Menechel's body rapidly weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Assassin seemed to have sensed something, and her body immediately disappeared. A lightsaber with a cold glow followed closely, and after losing Assassin's target, it continued to chop Morgan's cane.
The cane collided with the lightsaber, sparking a brilliant burst of sparks, and Morgan couldn't help but take a few steps back.
A gust of wind blew in the face, and the man in the plain windbreaker had stood between Morgan and Menchel without knowing when. He quickly grabbed Menchel, who was lying on the ground, and with his other hand, he slashed at Morgan's face with the sword.
A strong light accompanied by an extreme heat wave roared towards Morgan, and immediately a solemn knight was pulled in front of Morgan. The heavy armor burst into pieces the moment it collided with the lightsaber, and the splattered blood instantly vaporized into a red mist.
He raised his cane and the blood mist was instantly dispelled. But when his vision was restored, there was only a pool of blood in front of him.
"Saber..."
Morgan's voice was low, and anyone could tell how she felt at the moment.
"Seal the city gates immediately!"
She just didn't believe that in such a short time, Saber could run out of the city gate with a seriously injured human.
King Uther fell in love with a duke's wife, but the duchess loved her husband very much, so Merlin cast a magic trick on King Arthur to make others think he was a duke, and had someone arrest the earl, while he spent a night with the duchess. Later, the duchess gave birth to a son, who was later known as King Arthur.

The city gates were closed and Camelot was quickly placed under martial law.
And in the tense atmosphere that filled the entire city, in a remote courtyard, with a distorted red light, Saber appeared beside Fujimaru Ritsuka, carrying Minachell on her back.
This was in the wine cellar of a tavern, and was also the temporary base Saber had used to hide.
"Is it okay..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately came over and looked at Menachel lying on Saber's back.
“Don’t worry, this guy is very strong. If it was any other Servant, I would have just run away with you, but Assassin will never kill him. But to be on the safe side, let’s stop the bleeding first.” Saber lowered her body, allowing Fujimaru Ritsuka to touch the unconscious Menachere with her hands.
Blue-green magic quickly covered his injured shoulder blade. While treating him, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, "So the Assassin who attacked Minachell was Avril?"
"You actually realized that there are samples in Chaldea as well?"
"We once fought side by side."
During the conversation, the blood flowing out of the hole showed a tendency to stop bleeding, but Fujimaru Ritsuka, the caster, could not help but let out a puzzled sound.
She made a quick judgment, but the surprise on the girl's face became even more intense after she came to the conclusion.
"He's not a Servant?"
She had previously glanced at Menechel's battle from afar. When facing a normal fully-armed knight, the almost crushing killing made Fujimaru Ritsuka prejudge the man in front of him as a servant. But now, the pale man in front of her was obviously a human.
“Of course, he is a real person living in this era.” Saber said as a matter of course. After that, he couldn’t help but sneer: “If he is a Servant, then I don’t need to worry so much. I can just leave everything to him - how can such a good thing happen?”
The green light closed, and the blood finally stopped flowing out, but the hideous blood hole had not yet scabbed over. Fujimaru Ritsuka withdrew his hand, still a little worried, but Saber had already leaned Minachell against the wall, and then he sighed deeply, and sat down by the wall himself. Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka was still looking at him, he comforted him in a perfunctory tone: "Don't worry, this is the wine storage room I built when I was alive - about five years ago - even the owner of this tavern doesn't know it."
"so smart?"
Although he said this, Fujimaru Ritsuka started to grumble in his heart.
"Saber isn't very friendly to the tavern owner."
"It's safe here, though only temporarily," he added, about to close his eyes.
At this moment, two low "beeping" sounds came from Fujimaru Ritsuka's body. Saber's originally loose body quickly straightened up. He quickly locked onto the source of the sound, and at the same time, he stretched out a hand, and the golden lightsaber phantom took shape in his palm. The blue eyes that appeared from under the hood suddenly became sharp.
"Open it!"
He snapped.
The blazing lightsaber was pressed against Fujimaru Ritsuka's neck, and a burning sensation came, as if it was not a sword but a ball of fire.
Fujimaru Ritsuka swallowed her saliva and obediently pressed the flashing red button on her chest. Suddenly, a beam of blue light was emitted, and a light curtain appeared in front of her.
“Finally got through.”
Almost the moment the light screen appeared, a female voice came out from it, and then Da Vinci's face occupied the entire light screen. She spoke very quickly:
"Ritsuka, I have found out. This time, the mutation range of this subspecies singularity affects the whole of Britain, and this period should be the time when King Arthur is preparing for the Northern Expedition. The problem is likely to be with King Arthur - wait...what's wrong with you?"
Da Vinci finally noticed something was wrong with Fujimaru Ritsuka. His body was forced to move to the side. Saber squeezed in. He looked at the woman in the light curtain, and Da Vinci also looked at him. After a while, Da Vinci spoke first:
"You are holding Fujimaru Ritsuka hostage, please don't hurt the child."
The screen suddenly shook violently. A small pure white beast jumped out from nowhere and forced its way into the light curtain. It bared its teeth at Saber and roared “Fuuuu”.
"Kathy Paluge?"
Saber frowned the moment he saw the little beast. He seemed to have gone through a series of ideological struggles, and suddenly put down the sword that was holding Fujimaru Ritsuka hostage.
"It seems that I was overthinking it. You are indeed Chaldea."
Saber dispersed his sword and took off the hood that had been covering his face, revealing his short golden hair. Although he had a sunny face, the instinctive dissatisfaction in his blue eyes gave him a gloomy and contradictory temperament. He rubbed his swollen brows and spoke with a strong sense of fatigue:
"I'm sorry, but before you, I've already met three guys who claimed to be the Master of Chaldea. Without exception, they were all baits disguised by Morgan using magic to lure me out. That's why I had to be vigilant."
Including the Servant Contract signed with Fujimaru Ritsuka previously, it was all a test of Fujimaru Ritsuka. If Fujimaru Ritsuka showed even the slightest hesitation at that time, in order to hide himself smoothly, he would have killed Fujimaru Ritsuka on the spot without mercy.
Revealing one of his bases to Fujimaru Ritsuka was also a reward for Fujimaru Ritsuka's successful passing of the test. And now, after thoroughly confirming Fujimaru Ritsuka's identity, he should also make further statements.
So he continued, "I am Kai, a Servant summoned by the Suppression Force to repair the mutation, and currently still Saber."
"Oh-oh!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened quickly. She had heard rumors about Kai's stupid behavior and thought that Kai was just a comedian, but it turned out that he also had a handsome face!
"You know me?"
Kai was a little surprised. Although he thought he was famous, compared with brave knights like Menechel and Lancelot, he was not very eye-catching. He estimated that in the future, no one would remember him except those who read the story of King Arthur. Kai did not tell Fujimaru Ritsuka his real name because he saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka was ignorant. He was not interested in introducing himself to a stranger, so he kept his mystery.
"Well, I heard Gawain and Menechel mention you in Chaldea. You were present in almost every incident."
"Don't listen to their nonsense! I am the one who helps them solve the subsequent problems!"
Kai immediately argued, but it didn't seem to have any effect. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and glare at the enemy. He never expected that his name would reach the ears of the Chaldean Master before he went to Chaldea.
——Gawain! Menechel! I didn't expect that these two guys who like to speak ill of him would actually meet up in Chaldea first!
He suppressed the urge to strangle Minachel, whom he had finally rescued.
"Enough of the small talk." This was the voice of Da Vinci on the screen. She kept smiling and looked at Kai with a deep look in her eyes: "Kai, you just said that you are still Saber for the time being, what do you mean?"
"Ah, this. Literally, because of Morgan, half of my spiritual power was forcibly taken away when I summoned."
Speaking of business, Kai's voice was much more serious than before. He closed his eyes tightly and said, "As you just said, the king originally planned to lead a few elite knights to quell the rebellion, but at this moment, something strange happened."
"Morgan used some unknown means to control Camelot. By the time the news reached the king who had stationed his troops in Londinium, Camelot had already fallen completely. Morgan launched a rebellion and became the new king."
How can we say about Kai's strength? The official FGO has not specified it, but in the legend, Kai is the knight who was ordered to defeat Cathy Palug (the beast of comparison).

The source of the mutation is silent.
Because of the semi-retirement of Knight Menechel, Camelot was undergoing a series of personnel changes, so the long-prepared Northern Expedition had to be postponed again and again. Gawain and Lancelot accompanied the king to fill Menechel's position, while Kay was left in Tollen's Square.
If nothing unexpected happened, this would have been an easy task. The Stark area around Torrhen had been cleared out by Menechel in the early years, and the occasional bandits would be defeated by the knights' armed forces.
It was at this time that Kai heard the news that shocked him greatly - Camelot had fallen.
Without any signs, as if overnight, everyone from the lowest common people to the knights and nobles of all classes seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. They loudly announced to the outside world the illegitimacy of King Arthur, nominated the princess' sister Morgan as the new successor, contemptuously called King Arthur a "ridiculous tyrant", and cut off the delivery of food and fodder to the front line.
Kai, who got the news first, was furious and prepared to send troops to quell the rebellion, but before that, Torun City was attacked by the enemy. There was only one attacker, a middle-aged man with purple-gray hair, prominent cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, long and messy hair draped around his shoulders, and the most eye-catching thing was the silver-gray horns on his head that did not belong to humans.
Although it was just a quick glimpse, Kai still recognized the man's identity - the humble King Futigeng.
The resurrection of the dead caused Kai's brain to crash instantly. What shocked Kai even more was Vortigern's fighting style. Under Kai's gaze, Vortigern's body expanded rapidly and finally completely lost its human form.
"It was a fierce battle." Kai recalled with his eyes closed. He let out a long breath: "Bows and arrows, swords and spears, those attacks couldn't even touch Vortigern's body. And the freezing breath he exhaled instantly froze the city wall and the defenders on the wall."
"Then my body was dragged back to Camelot by ordinary knights who arrived later to await public burning at the stake."
"Corpse!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized.
"It's strange, isn't it? I just died in this era, but I, as a Heroic Spirit, responded to the call. Although I am glad that I can continue to fight for my country after death, it still feels a bit strange to see my body being cremated. Although I want to steal my body, it's pointless and it will increase the risk of being caught."
"In other words, the source of the change is Morgan, right?" Da Vinci summarized the information to interrupt Kai's divergent thoughts: "With the ability to summon Servants, the Holy Grail should be in Morgan's hands."
"In addition to Vortigern, Morgan should have at least two more servants. Not only my Torun Square City, but also the Biloo City where Menachere is stationed and the Londinion where the king's troops are stationed were attacked at the same time. Morgan was able to maintain her rule because even now, she still has many servants scattered outside."
"Wait - the city of Bilù has also been attacked!" Da Vinci on the screen raised his voice: "Then the city defender Menechel..."
"I just abandoned the city and ran away." An unexpected voice sounded at this time. Menichel leaned against the wall, holding back the dizziness caused by anemia and barely opened one eye to look at the blue light screen in front of him.
Because he was awake. He was so quiet just now that neither Fujimaru Ritsuka nor Da Vinci noticed that Menachel had woken up.
"Can you understand what we just talked about?" Kai was quite indifferent. It would be better to say that he had already discovered that Menechel had woken up, but he didn't say it out of trust.
"It's probably something like magic. I don't understand it, but I can roughly understand the direction of things." Menechel lowered his eyebrows and said, "The one who attacked me was a black-armored knight. I fought with him and hid in the city after being injured by him. But after hearing the news that Torenfang City was slaughtered and the king was about to be executed, I abandoned the city with my soldiers. After that, I settled them in a deserted village next to the outer city. I only brought a hundred knights to sneak into Camelot City and wait for an opportunity to rescue the king."
After a while, he looked around the dim surroundings again. There were only three of them. Menachel's voice became melancholy: "Although I had long been prepared to die here, they also died because of my misjudgment."
"As a human, you fought a Servant and survived?"
In the video, Da Vinci's voice was filled with astonishment. Based on her current investigation of Minachell's physical data, the other party did not have such extraordinary qualities.
"That guy didn't use his full strength. He deliberately lowered his strength to fight me."
—Oh, that makes sense then.
It is probably the spirit of a battle maniac from some time and space who wants to challenge the highest combat power in this timeline.
Da Vinci nodded. Seeing that Menechelle didn't look interested, she used her high emotional intelligence to stay silent and instead changed the subject.
"Sir Kai, how many Servants can be summoned by a lone restraint like yours?"
"No," Kai answered truthfully.
"The battle power ratio is too disparate." Da Vinci pursed her lips, stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka seriously and warned: "Then right now, Ritsuka, your top priority is to communicate with the spirit veins as soon as possible to summon servants to replenish the battle power."
After a pause, Leonardo da Vinci continued: "Be prepared for the worst situation, the servants in the hands of the enemy are all super-class servants."
……
Menechel was in a low mood, not just because he failed to rescue Altria. He touched the scabbed wound on his left chest. The wound that almost pierced his heart still hurt slightly as Menechel's fingertips touched it.
The sword almost cut off his left hand, but it didn't leave him a fatal injury. In almost the same place, someone else had left a shallow scratch -
