Chapter 1057: Sending You a New Servant
"Miss Okita?"
Gudako immediately recognized the other party, staring at her in astonishment.
"When were you summoned? Why did you appear here so suddenly?"
"She's supposed to be a Servant, but she feels somewhat like a living person... yet not quite? How strange, what phenomenon is this?"
Little Da Vinci took out the detection instrument she carried with her, her brows furrowed so tightly they almost formed knots.
"Emmmm..."
Grimm's expression was extremely subtle.
Great, I choose not to comment!
"My brother sent me here!"
Okita Souji declared with full confidence.
"Your brother? Who?"
"Eiji!"
"Uh..."
"Wait a minute!"
"The setting is too messy!"
Everyone was collectively stunned into speechlessness.
"Hey now, don't worry about such details!"
Okita Souji waved her hand casually, glossing over the setting issues.
"Anyway, I'll be joining your team from now on. Just tell me who to cut down and that'll be that!"
"The part about cutting people down does sound quite like Miss Okita."
Gudako nodded slightly.
But overall, something just felt off!
Yet she couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly was strange.
Her appearance was indeed identical to the Okita Souji Gudako had seen before, and her energetic nature was completely consistent too... but she just couldn't feel convinced it was really her.
It felt like someone was wearing Miss Okita's skin!
"Grimm, what's your opinion?"
Little Da Vinci looked inquiringly toward the someone suspected of being the God of Wisdom.
"Can we trust this new Servant?"
"Well, um, there shouldn't be any problem with trusting her... probably."
Grimm covered his face, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
He was afraid he might accidentally laugh out loud.
He possessed a portion of the God of Wisdom's power within him, so this "girl's" disguise absolutely couldn't fool him.
But it was interesting!
So he wouldn't expose it!
"If we can trust her, then there's no problem. Our strength is currently at a disadvantage, so we should seize any power we can get!"
Little Da Vinci ultimately made the final decision.
Although everyone was full of doubts, since even Grimm said so, they had no objections.
"So, where are we going to cut people down next?"
Okita Souji quickly joined the team.
She refused the food Gudako offered her and asked seriously.
"That's actually what we're worrying about right now."
Gudako explained to her: "We just left the royal capital Camelot. It was on Oberon's suggestion that we came to Londinium to seek like-minded companions."
"Next, the battle against the Queen should be put on the agenda..."
But there was one problem.
That was a certain core member among them.
Who still hadn't decided to rebel against the Queen.
Artoria hung her head low, taking small bites of her bread.
As if the bread were some delicacy, her expression was completely focused, seemingly unable to hear what others were saying.
In this team.
The Foreign Traveler and the Child of Prophecy were the key figures.
If either was missing, the team would fall apart.
"In that case, I actually have a mission on my side!"
Just then, Percival suddenly interjected.
He took a letter from his pocket.
"Just this afternoon, Count Peperoncino of Norwich sent me this letter. He intends to join forces with our Round Table Army to overthrow Spriggan's rule in one fell swoop!"
"A letter from the Count?"
Da Vinci-chan exclaimed in surprise as she took it, verifying that it was indeed the Count's handwriting.
"I see. If we're choosing a location to fire the first shot against the Queen, then Norwich—which we previously saved—is the most suitable. Moreover, we have the Count as our ally!"
Furthermore, the prophecy stated that the bell of Norwich would be the first bell tolled by the Child of Prophecy!
"I originally planned to lead a team there alone under the cover of tonight's darkness, but I didn't expect you all to come to Londinium."
Percival inquired of the group, "I intend to set off shortly. What are your plans?"
His words immediately surprised everyone.
No one expected the situation in Norwich to have become so tense.
"Let's go together!"
Gudako immediately made the decision.
"Exactly! If we splendidly defeat the vampire lord who oppresses the people, we can use Norwich as a springboard to influence the surrounding towns and gather as many people and fairies who oppose the Queen's rule as possible!"
Da Vinci-chan quickly determined the next strategy.
"As for Artoria... Londinium can't be left unguarded. You, Gareth, and Muramasa should stay here, right?"
"No, I want to go too!"
But at this moment, Artoria lifted her head stubbornly like a bull.
"At a time like this, I can't continue being so indecisive. It's about time I made up my mind!"
"Hmm, her old habit of refusing to admit defeat is acting up again."
Muramasa nodded in understanding.
Da Vinci-chan was being considerate of her, but to Artoria's ears, those words were proof that she was being looked down upon!
No matter what, she had to go!
At this moment, Artoria was being incredibly stubborn, and nothing could stop her.
"In that case, shall we have Gareth, Habetrot, and Oberon guard the city?"
"No problem, I'd rather not go to the front lines anyway."
"Then it's decided!"
"Alright, let's go cut some people down!"
Okita Souji put on an extremely enthusiastic expression.
Under the cover of night.
An army led by Percival set out from Londinium, heading toward the port city of Norwich.
The group entered Norwich through a secret tunnel dug by the Count, successfully catching Spriggan off guard.
"One step silent, two steps... hmm, I forgot! Take this, Mumyo - Sandan Zuki!"
Okita Souji was thoroughly enjoying herself cutting people down on the battlefield.
In Gudao's eyes, she looked exactly like Miss Okita herself.
"By the way, Gudao."
In the midst of battle, Okita Souji suddenly returned to Gudako's side.
"Gudao?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly froze. Hadn't someone called him by this nickname before?
"If you want to take down Spriggan, you can seek Boggart's help. That lion head is quite influential now. I'll give you his address!"
"The lord of Sheffield? How do you know he's here?"
"Don't worry about the details!"
Okita Souji gave Gudako a hearty slap on the back that sent her stumbling.
"In short, just drop my brother's name—Boggart will definitely help. If he dares refuse, tell me and I'll make sure he regrets it!"
The civil war in Norwich erupted in full force.
With the Earl and Boggart joining forces, alongside the Foreign Traveler and the Child of Prophecy, the lineup was exceptionally formidable.
Spriggan, who only commanded ordinary fairies, stood almost no chance of resistance.
The Vault was captured in the blink of an eye.
Thus, at the very top of the Vault,
the Belfry of Norwich came into Artoria's view.
