Camelot City and its castle were full of people waiting for the wedding that was about to be held shortly, but a few miles away from the city, in the basement of the fort belonging to a certain knight of the Divine Order, a bloodbath was currently taking place.

Within just a minute, Knight Commander Agrival the wise was mercilessly killed, followed by four other members of the Golden Knights. None of them expected such a thing to happen and were unprepared for it, leading them to be fiercely attacked by the other members of the Golden Knights.

The 10 new champions of the Silver Knights from the previous game were not excluded from the bloodbath. Half of them were swiftly killed by the senior Golden Knights, while the other half were shot by arrows when they were trying to run. In the end, none of them managed to survive.

Arthur quickly helped his father Uther and the other Logress Golden Knights group up together next to him. 

Golden Knights are fighting each other on all sides

"Argh!!! You fucking traitor!" 

shouted Sir Bors and Sir Dagonet, two of the Gangani Golden Knights present. The two muscular brothers fought their hardest, each with an ax in hand.

What surprised them so much was not that they were attacked, but how it was none other than other members of the Gangani Golden Knights who attacked them.

Meanwhile, on another side, a young knight leaped up high, while skillfully shooting a few arrows, hitting two of the Golden Knights from the Iceni who previously attacked him without hesitation. The young knight's name was Galahad, he was a knight from the Demetae Kingdom.

Soon after, all three were finally on Arthur's side, ready to fight the hardest battle the Divine Order had ever faced as of this day.

A battle against their own brothers.

Without counting the 20 members of the Silver Knights guarding the entrance, it was a 10-versus-20 situation. One side was obviously siding with Arthur, while the other side was siding with the newly-famous Norgales Golden Knight, Maleagant.

Arthur could see that all the five new members of the Golden Knights were on their side, as well as last year's new Golden Knights. It appeared they had been preparing this for at least two years. The death of numerous members of the Golden Knights the last two years most likely a deliberate plan to achieve today's goal.

Uther was still holding the body of his oldest friend, Sir Agrival the wise, in his arms, still shocked by what just happened. He turned to glare at the other knight commander and resentfully shouted, "Aewin! Why are you doing this!? Why!?"

Aewin looked at Uther with a gaze filled with scorn as he said, "Uther, the Pendragons have been holding the position of leader of the Divine Order for too long! It's time for a new leader to be chosen!"

Uther could not believe what he just heard. He tried to reason with him, "Aewin! We can always vote for it! Why must it end like this? You're only breaking the Divine Oder apart!"

"Ha!" he sneered at Uther's words. "Vote, you say? You and Agrival always have the same voice, and I never get my say. With something like that, do you really think voting is possible?"

"That's not true!" Uther immediately denied. However, before he could say any more, he was cut off by Aewin's mocking laugh.

"Hahaha! You always appear honest and chivalrous, but we both know you're not! I found a lot of your secrets. You even hid the fact you're holding a Fey witch captive!"

Hearing this, Arthur finally found the last missing piece of the puzzle.

"Yes! Sir Bagdemagus Silver Knight, Keane, came to me with this information. You even allowed Arthur to lead the investigation and free the murderer of Bagdemagus. And now, his son Maleagant has come to take your place. This is the definition of justice."

Uther could not retort. For this case, while he could argue about why he let Merlin go, he knew full well there were other hidden cases where he was in the wrong

Seeing Uther's silence, Knight Commander Aewin spoke, "You've seen it, haven't you? To Maleagant, the sword reacted the same way it did to Arthur! He is the future of the Divine Order! And with his relationship with the barbarians, Britannia will finally be able to attain everlasting peace!"

To Arthur's surprise, Uther had so little to say and nothing to respond to Knight Commander Aewin's remark. Because of that, Arthur decided to answer in his stead, 

"Knight Commander Aewin! My father might not be a saint, but at least he is not a coward who stabs people in the back! What you all said here has defied everything a knight lives for! Honesty! Truth! And honor! Drop your weapons now, or I assure you, justice will be fierce!"

All of a sudden, loud laughter could be heard. However, the laughter did not come from the people in front of him. Rather, it came from the person beside him, his father Uther.

Even the people on Aewin's side were baffled by his resounding laughter. "You really can't cease to amaze me, son! These bastards won't listen! Let us have a good fight!"

Arthur looked around the place. Knowing their current situation, he fully understood the odds were not with him. Even so, he was happy to see that the 10 knights next to him dared to fight for honor until the end.

He cast [Divine Blessing]. With his continuous improvement thanks to Merlin, right now, Arthur was twice stronger than everyone else in the room.

"Attack!!" A commanding roar could be heard from the other side. And with it, the knights of the other side began charging at him.

Splat! Splat!!

One by one, Arthur killed the Golden Knights that tried to stop him. Unfortunately, despite being stronger than them, they still had the overwhelming advantage that was their number. This time, the Golden Knights fighting by his side began falling one by one.

At this moment, Arthur aimed his sword toward Maleagant and shouted, "Fight! Me! we don't need to kill each other! Let's end this with a duel! "

Seeing Arthur's pitiful attempt of minimizing casualties made Maleagant laugh. He responded, "I can see your prowess, Arthur, I can tell you're stronger than me. No, I will not accept your challenge. I need all the members of the Golden Knights and the king to die so the war will be over quickly!"

Knowing the coward would not accept his challenge no matter what, Arthur quickly charged toward his side, only to be stopped by multiple senior Golden Knights.

Clank! Clank!

At this moment, when his focus was on the fight in front of him, he saw that Uther Pendragon managed to kill the knight commander, Sir Aewin the Aegis. But before he could feel anything good from it, he noticed his father had also received what seemed to be a stab wound on his chest.

Looking closely, he realized it was indeed a stab wound. The blade of the sword stabbed so deeply that he could see the old king's blood continuously flowing from his chest.

Arthur quickly rushed to help his father, but when he could finally reach him, the old king was already on the verge of death. When Uther saw his son in front of him, he squeezed out a slight smile before mustering up his strength to say to him. 

"You will be a better king than I ever was… Be strong, my son."

After a brief struggle, Uther finally breathed his last breath.

At this moment half a dozen golden knights have surrounded him. With anger swelling up inside him, Arthur once again charged with all his powers and sword skills. Without sparing a second glance, Arthur killed the closest Golden Knights and managed to close in on Maleagant, but just when he thought he could get him, Maleagant proved that even though he was weaker than Arthur in terms of pure strength, he was not weak.

As the two exchanged swords, it felt as if the room shook following their clashes.

Clank! Clank!

When Arthur managed to overpower his opponent, Maleagant's mouth suddenly curved into a smile as he shouted while dodging to the side, "Fire!!!"

In that instant, multiple arrows swiftly pierced Arthur's body, leaving him kneeling weakly on the floor.

Half unconscious, he could feel deep hate toward Maleagant surging in his heart. At the same time, he felt sorry for Gweeenth. It appeared he would not be able to marry her after all.

At this moment, he could feel a bunch of things mixed in his heart. Anger, hatred, and regret toward a lot of things, both from himself and other people. 

Seeing Arthur barely breathing, Maleagant approached Arthur and raised his sword high. "you shall die now, and your bride shall be next!"
