Chapter 1633 - 1123: A Gap That Can Be Bridged

Under Da Vinci’s deliberate inquiry, everyone’s opinions quickly reached a consensus.

Whether it was Chaldea or the Round Table army, everyone’s stance was consistent; they all needed to defeat Morgan and liberate Britain, which was under Morgan’s rule.

Altoria had no objections either, just standing there silently.

As for Reiger, he certainly had no objections.

In fact, attacking Camelot and pulling Morgan down from the throne was exactly what Reiger wanted to see.

His stance was naturally aligned with everyone else’s, so there was no need to oppose.

The problem is...

"What is your plan?" Reiger asked, curious: "Simply in terms of strength, the gap between the Round Table army and the Queen’s army is not small, right?"

Just the army led by Bagster alone has troops several times more than the Round Table army, and the disparity in power is even greater. If nothing changes, the Round Table army could never be a match for the Queen’s army.

Furthermore, siege warfare and defense are two completely different concepts.

Previously, when Bagster led the Queen’s army to attack the Round Table army, the Round Table could rely on the walls of Lentinean for defense. Even without the intervention of higher-level forces, despite the Queen’s army having far superior troop numbers and strength, the Round Table army could still briefly hold its ground.

But if it’s the other way around, with the Round Table army needing to attack Camelot, then it would be the Queen’s army using Camelot for defense.

In such situations, typically, the attacking side needs several times the troops or power of the defending side to achieve the goal of siege without much suspense.

And with the Round Table army already having significantly fewer troops and less strength than the Queen’s army, attempting a siege would just be a joke.

"Even with Altoria’s enchantment and Fujimaru Ritsuka’s summons, overall calculations still show that the Queen’s army has the advantage in troop numbers and strength."

Reiger paused for a moment before continuing his cold assessment.

"The abilities of the fairies far exceed humans. In the Tusk Clan, known for its weakness, individuals like Mourine and Habettelot still exist with superlative strength."

"Facing fairies, let alone humans, even servants who are not of the caliber of battle-hardened Round Table knights, would struggle to gain a clear upper hand in a duel."

"So, Altoria’s enchantment can only increase the collective strength of the Round Table army by one or two times. If the enemy’s numbers exceed ours greatly, and they also have a terrain advantage, then there can be no advantage, even if Fujimaru Ritsuka summons more servants to assist."

As Chaldea’s master, Fujimaru Ritsuka has forged bonds with many heroic spirits and can summon multiple servants when magic power is ample, thanks to command spells and the Chaldea summoning system.

Fujimaru Ritsuka can summon several servants to assist, which is a power strong enough to overturn a war’s final outcome.

However, this time the enemies are not ordinary, being fairies comparable to single riders in terms of power. Even a Round Table knight known for turning the tide of battle could only handle about a dozen at a time, unless Fujimaru Ritsuka used command spells to assist, or had infinite magic power allowing servants to unleash their noblest phantasms without worry. Otherwise, just a few summoned servants aren’t enough to change the power gap.

That’s assuming Fujimaru Ritsuka can summon servants in full capacity.

In fact, aside from lone servants like Tristan, or demi-servants like Matthew who arrived here with Fujimaru Ritsuka from the outset, typically, the servants summoned by him are just shadows.

Shadow servants lack the intelligence of independent servants and may not even be able to unleash their noblest phantasms, so with Fujimaru Ritsuka as the sole master, their role is quite limited.

Fujimaru Ritsuka’s true utility comes when commanding multiple powerful servants simultaneously.

In those times, his magic power and command spells cause servants’ power to leap significantly, which is the fundamental reason he has been able to execute so many miraculous rescues.

Without powerful servant support, Fujimaru Ritsuka’s role as a master diminishes and may ultimately become a burden, as he did when he fell comatose and amnesiac before.

"Moreover, don’t forget, the enemy side has fairy knights and major fairy tribes, which are even more terrifying than top-tier servants."

Reiger said, arms crossed.

"Even though Ba Wanxi is no more, Bagster remains, and there is an even stronger, more dangerous Lancelot."

"The threat from major fairy tribes is also not to be underestimated, especially the Tusk Clan, whose strength is not in the same league as other tribes. The ’Great Calamity’ a thousand years ago was handled by Woodworth leading the Tusk Clan, nearly wiping out the Wing Clan, and even Bagster hails from the Tusk Clan. This is why Woodworth is always babbling that the Tusk Clan is the sword of Britain; without that clan, the Fairy Country would have long since collapsed."

"Given this, whether it’s high-level forces or basic forces, compared to the Queen’s army, we lack not just a little but a lot."
