Chapter 1634 - 1123: A Gap That Can Be Bridged (Part 2)

The implication is that if there’s no good idea to overturn this situation, then stop fighting, go home, wash up, and sleep.

At least, from Reiger’s perspective, on the side of the Round Table army, the only truly high-end combat powers are Matthew, who has been empowered by the spirit base of Elf Knight Galahad, and Pasival with his holy spear, plus perhaps the first generation Elf Knight Habettelot and Altoria who has rung the Pilgrimage Bell five times.

The rest, whether it’s Da Vinci or Gareth, although one is a Servant and the other a prototype Round Table knight, their combat power isn’t very high. They can handle ordinary elves, but threatening an Elf Knight is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

As for Alberon, not to mention, he’s never even been seen on the battlefield.

When it comes to Matthew, Pasival, Habettelot, and Altoria, even their combined strength doesn’t quite match up to Bagster, even if they join forces, it’s still uncertain if they could defeat one Bagster.

The reason it’s considered uncertain mainly concerns Pasival’s holy spear and Altoria’s enchantment.

If Matthew and Habettelot could receive Altoria’s enchantment, greatly enhancing their strength, they might withstand Bagster, as long as they find a way to counter the ability that constantly absorbs others’ Magic Power.

Pasival’s holy spear is undoubtedly a deadly weapon. Just focusing on its destructive power, not its range, this spear doesn’t compare too poorly even to Lengominia. Once its power is unleashed, even Bagster might be forced to his knees after one hit. However, this spear’s nature has long reversed, injuring the enemy a thousand while sacrificing eight hundred of oneself. If really used, Pasival’s life might very well end, with the best outcome being a shortened lifespan.

Considering these two points, Altoria and others might have a chance at defeating Bagster.

But, if dealing with a single Bagster is already this difficult, what about the remaining Lancelot?

Not to mention, there’s the ever-present threat of being backstabbed by a schemer from behind the scenes.

And this is just secondary...

"The biggest threat is still Morgan."

Reiger pronounced every word clearly.

"That queen is currently the most terrifying existence in Britain."

Since encountering him, Morgan had undergone some changes compared to the original.

Besides "Mirror," "Tower," "Court," and "Coffin," Morgan even developed a great magic called "Stake" which wasn’t in the original. Who knows if she’s become stronger compared to the original?

Even calculating her strength based on the original story, Morgan is now an unbeatable and terrifying existence.

Twelve holy spears are always on standby in Camelot, ready to be unleashed. Even without calculating the holy spears’ threat, Morgan alone could militarily dominate all of Britain and had once single-handedly crushed several elf clans.

Frankly speaking, facing such a Morgan, going up against her now would be akin to walking into a trap.

Morgan in the original was only brought down due to being outsmarted, resulting in a tragic downfall, otherwise, before the collapse of the British Lostbelt, Altoria and Chaldea would both have met defeat in Camelot.

Moreover, they also have to guard against enemies lurking in the shadows... even Reiger felt he needed to be cautious, let alone the current Round Table army.

Everyone present wasn’t ignorant of these facts.

It’s just...

"But, we still have Mr. Reiger, don’t we?"

Matthew weakly expressed.

Indeed, in everyone’s view, with Reiger, the Round Table army wasn’t entirely helpless.

He could effortlessly deal with Bagster, so he should be able to handle Lancelot, and even against the strongest queen, Morgan, they might still have a chance.

Unfortunately, everyone thinking this way was destined to be disappointed.

"Putting Bagster and Lancelot aside, barring any surprises, I cannot handle Morgan."

Reiger calmly stated, causing everyone to be astonished.

"Why?" Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn’t help but ask, "Are you saying even you aren’t a match for Morgan?"

The crowd looked at Reiger with eyes growing tense.

If even Reiger, who could easily defeat Bagster, wasn’t a match for Morgan, then how would they ever deal with her?

Fortunately, Reiger’s subsequent words both relieved and perplexed many.

"In a real fight against Morgan, I’m still confident of winning." Reiger shrugged, saying, "It’s just that there’s a contract between me and Morgan, so essentially, we can’t fight.

"A contract?" Altoria finally had some reaction to Reiger’s words and instinctively asked, "How do you have a contract with Morgan?"

Everyone was also very concerned about this point.

"Have you all forgotten? Morgan and I are married!" Reiger calmly stated: "Although the wedding was interrupted by Altoria, before that, Morgan had already placed an Oath Stake on me."

...

[Oath Stake]

· Fairy’s Blessing.

· Exclusive to one person, power greatly increases when fighting a specific enemy.

· Exclusive to one person, can’t exert power when opposing each other.

· Exclusive to one person, can exchange power and conditions with the other.

· Exclusive to one person, inheritance immediately occurs on fulfilling the condition of "death."

...

The effects of the Oath Stake clearly state that when opposing each other, neither party’s power can manifest.

In other words, Reiger’s power is essentially nullified against Morgan, and vice versa.

Although the skill constraint on Reiger has lessened after acquiring the developmental ability "Inhibition Lock," the Inhibition Lock is still in the G phase, and [Oath Stake] doesn’t significantly restrict Reiger, so its triggering of the Inhibition Lock isn’t profound. So, although reduced, some constraints still remain.

Plus, Reiger’s true aim is to destroy Britain, dethrone Morgan, and not genuinely defeat her, lest it leads to a falling out and the quest to retrieve Beluti’s soul goes awry...

Therefore, Reiger felt that Morgan should be left to Altoria, Chaldea, and the Round Table army to handle.

Thus, Reiger selectively revealed part of the truth, letting everyone believe that due to the Oath Stake’s presence, he couldn’t battle against Morgan.

"This is also why I came to Londinium." Reiger glanced at Altoria, saying indifferently: "Besides seeking a certain agreed-upon country elf, it’s because I need you to help me defeat Morgan."

As for Reiger...

His true opponent is the one who will appear after Morgan is defeated.

He has to deal with the presence that can genuinely destroy all of Britain, the one Morgan has always dreaded, and those secretly manipulating from behind.

"I see?"

The crowd looked at each other, conveying understanding but also sensing the increasing difficulty.

"Who’s the country elf..."

Altoria’s point of focus was rather off, somewhat disgruntled but also a bit pleased, her mood oscillating.

"Well, perhaps excluding Morgan’s threat, her subordinate queen army might not be as threatening as we think."

Alberon tried to comfort them.

"For example, the elf clans that have submitted to Morgan are not as threatening as before now."

"The Tusk Clan goes without saying; if we really take action, Aurora will certainly command them to assist us rather than help Morgan."

"The Earth Clan also poses no threat; Spurgen is profit-driven, and Aurora has long established a cooperative relationship with him. With Aurora’s eloquence, persuading him to aid us isn’t impossible."

"The Mirror Clan has already been wiped out; the King Clan won’t side with Morgan, and the Wing Clan’s leader, Mourine, also only outwardly complies with Morgan; we’ve known this for a while, so we can try to secure her assistance again."

"Lastly, the Tusk Clan, now that Woodworth is dead, is much less of a threat than before."

Alberon listed them intriguingly.

"Although there’s still a gap, it’s not an unbridgeable one."

Upon hearing this, Da Vinci also nodded.

"We need to find a partner to collaborate with."

Da Vinci proposed the resolution intended at this meeting.

"Let’s go to Edinburgh." Alberon suggested: "We’ll seek out the King Clan."
