IBHJ Chapter 216

"Did King Arthur truly manage to conquer Londinium?"

"I find it hard to believe! Londinium was teeming with magical creatures and even faced an assault by Vortigern's Tower of Light!"

"How did he muster such a formidable army? Cornwall isn't known for its wealth, so how could he possibly afford to maintain such a force?"

"It's obvious he concealed his troops! Such a cunning tactic. While we all banded together to fend off the beasts, he kept his own forces hidden!"

"Ki...

IBHJ Chapter 215

Camelot.

The god's fury was like that of thunder and lightning, scattering around and shattering the walls of the white palace. Its body was encased in white dragon scales, and its eyes had lost their human color, with vertical dragon pupils that showed its visible anger.

The god was caught off guard, unexpectedly dragged down from its divine throne!

Initially, with the collapse of the Roman Empire, all power was inherited by Uther. However, Uther accepted the established fa...

IBHJ Chapter 214

The sky rumbled with dark clouds and lightning illuminated the bloody scene below. The cacophony of the wilderness was punctuated by the haunting echoes of mournful cries and clashing swords that persisted in the cold wind.

The gruesome remnants of the battle lay piled up, casting a grim and terrifying shadow over the already reddish-brown soil. The blood flowed ceaselessly, refusing to coagulate, and the thick haze above refused to disperse. The pervasive stench of blood was suffocatin...

IBHJ Chapter 213

As the war raged on, smoke billowed up from the land, gradually enveloping everything in its path. Countless beasts ran wild on the ground, while sea monsters thrashed about in the sea. High above, griffins and wyverns danced together in the sky.

On the choppy waters, Lancelot and Lamorak commanded warships, locked in a fierce exchange of magical cannon fire.

The air was filled with the deafening cries of sea monsters, and the sky was dotted with falling wyverns. As humanity fough...

IBHJ Chapter 212

Upon closer inspection, Britain wasn't actually a very large landmass. However, it held a special significance as it served as a remnant of the Age of Gods, acting as a sort of umbilical cord that connected the boundary between Age of Gods and human civilization. This boundary was separated by the holy lance Rhongomyniad, which was created by the planet itself and acted as a gateway between these two realms.

The majority of Shirou's army consisted of foot soldiers, as horses and cattle ...

IBHJ Chapter 211

Shirou walked out of the palace and called upon the knights to gather at the military camp.

Vortigern's ability to unleash the tower of light was due to his occupation of Camelot, enabling him to harness the island's natural power.

The freed holy lance Rhongomyniad materialized as a tower of light that bridged the gap between the Reality and Reverse Side of the World.

The overwhelming force emanating from this tower transcended human power and can only be described as a true...

IBHJ Chapter 210

Vortigern, the ruthless tyrant, seized control of Camelot and conquered a staggering 70% of Britain's territories, extending his dominion across Scotland, northern England, and Wales. In a bold move, he achieved naturalization and unleashed the formidable Holy Lance Rhongomyniad. As a result, the Tower of Light, which binds the world's surface, emerged in its entirety.

The Holy Lance Rhongomyniad serves as the planet's anchor, with its true form being a luminous tower. This structure st...

IBHJ Chapter 209

Altrouge, the princess of the hybrid race of Dead Apostles and True Ancestors, amused herself by teasing a comatose True Ancestor girl with a straw. Despite being unconscious for over two years, the girl still displayed faint signs of life.

Growing bored with the game, she carelessly discarded the straw and leaned against the edge of the bed. She began to absentmindedly swing her smooth and tender legs while gazing over at Merem Solomon, who was seated not far away.

"Merem!" Altro...

IBHJ Chapter 208

Shirou was at a loss as to how things had turned out this way. All he knew was that his stomach was beginning to ache with increasing intensity.

Initially, Morgan had her sights set on Scathach's womb, which had struck him as comical and worth a good laugh. However, right now he was in no position to laugh since she had now turned her attention to his body.

"Sigh..."

He let out a deep sigh as he set the documents aside, his face betraying a worrisome expression.

Merlin...

IBHJ Chapter 207

With summer on the horizon, the urgency of the situation grew more pressing. It had already been two and a half years since Shirou ascended the throne as king, and Sir Ywain's earlier warning still weighed heavily on his mind.

He had stated that Camelot's defenses could last no more than three years. In essence, if they did not make any mistakes, Vortigern's forces would conquer Camelot within the next six months and launch a full-scale attack on the remaining territories.

As a re...

IBHJ Chapter 206

Despite his penchant for goofing around, Merlin remained diligent whenever Shirou gave him a task to complete. This was particularly evident when Shirou needed him to track down Morgan, who had fled. Merlin successfully caught her and imprisoned her in her quarters, adding several complex Bounded Fields to make her escape nearly impossible.

Morgan sat in her quarters, feeling a mix of sadness and anger. She was bored and listless, with nothing to do to distract her from her negative emo...

IBHJ Chapter 205

Morgan had her doubts in her heart about whether he was really her biological brother.

Right from the beginning, she had doubts about whether he and her supposed brother were truly related. This was because he had a different hair color than their father and didn't bear much resemblance to their family.

However, after discreetly monitoring his activities for more than two months and observing his dazzling personality, she had come to sincerely believe that he was indeed her biolog...

IBHJ Chapter 204

Shirou introduced the delicate Guinevere to the knights, and they were taken aback by her striking resemblance to the king, particularly as she was a princess.

Despite her royal status, Guinevere appeared incredibly frail, and one could almost imagine her bursting into tears if anyone stared at her too long. This vulnerability made the knights feel protective of her.

Shirou entrusted Guinevere to Artoria, and the moment she came under Artoria's banner, tears streamed down her face...

IBHJ Chapter 203

Guinevere was escorted to Cornwall by Gawain and Lancelot.

The king commanded Gawain and Lancelot to lay siege to Cameliard and capture a troublemaker who was causing problems behind the scenes. Although the king instructed them to bring the person back unscathed, his description of them as a troublemaker suggested that they might hinder the king's plans. As knights, Gawain and Lancelot couldn't help but see the elimination of obstacles as their duty to the king.

Despite the king'...

IBHJ Chapter 202

King Leodegrance was taken aback by her request. "What are you talking about? Vortigern is still attacking Camelot. Who else would attack us? Besides, you are my daughter. How could I even consider handing you over to anyone?" he retorted before storming off.

Guinevere retreated to her chamber and retrieved a small dagger with a sheath from her cabinet. Clutching the blade tightly, she crouched in the corner, trembling and muttering, "Oh God... please have mercy on me... I'm just a cowa...

IBHJ Chapter 201

King Leodegrance's expression grew grave as he asked, "Guinevere, tell me more about it."

Despite his reluctance to admit it, King Leodegrance knew that his daughter possessed exceptional intelligence. From the moment she was born, a fairy had blessed her and prophesied that she was destined for greatness as a wise and noble person. As a result, King Leodegrance had long been attentive to his daughter's opinions.

Naturally, King Leodegrance kept this incident to himself, particula...

IBHJ Chapter 200

In the ancient Western world, two types of paper were used: parchment and papyrus. Parchment, made from animal skins, was primarily used by the nobility due to its high cost. Meanwhile, papyrus was a more affordable writing medium made by processing the papyrus plant.

Papyrus originated in ancient Egypt and became popularized around 3000 BC. It then spread to Mediterranean civilizations such as ancient Greece, as well as to Europe and West Asia due to the conquests of the Roman Empire. ...

"Mrs. Emiya, may I ask you one final question?" Shinji concluded his note-taking and pushed up his glasses before asking, "What was the King of Knights' stance towards the rebellious knight, Mordred?"

Irisviel paused for a moment, then responded, "I'm sorry, but this matter is quite sensitive and I haven't had the chance to ask about it myself."

"I understand. It's just a shame that we don't oft...

IBHJ Chapter 198

Shirou had teased Scathach time and time again. He wasn't sure whether she would seek revenge or not, as he now found himself in a tricky predicament.

"Brother, you really should consider finding a queen," Morgan said, her tone serious.

He couldn't help but feel intimidated as he looked at her. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he braced himself for what was to come.

He was no stranger to the pressure to marry. In fact, Morgan had been urging him to find a queen since ...

IBHJ Chapter 197

The king has never had personal desires. His only concern has been how to guide his people through difficulties and improve their lives. Perhaps, what the king truly desires are the smiles on his subjects' faces. However, in pursuing this goal, he has neglected his own well-being.

More than a year ago, a catastrophic event shook the land: buildings crumbled, the sky seemed to collapse, and the earth itself was torn asunder. Amidst the chaos, the king stood tall, holding up the sky and s...

IBHJ Chapter 196

Scathach's decision to go to the seaside to hunt sea monsters came as no surprise.

Shirou had been troubled by how to deal with these monsters, as they were not only obstructing Cornwall's sea trade routes, but were also attacking people on the shore at times. The monsters were known to lurk near Cornwall, posing a constant threat to the people and commerce in the area.

Despite the threat posed by the sea monsters, they were all located in the sea. Attacking them with large ships ...

IBHJ Chapter 195

That child has been missing for almost five years. Looking back from this point in time, what time period would that child be in?

She didn't know. All she knew was that when that child returned, it wouldn't just be Fujimaru Shirou anymore.

The flame that had been ignited was only the beginning. Perhaps that detestable guy was just a small part of that child's journey. However, when she reminisced about those days, even her twisted and desensitized heart couldn't help but be stirre...

IBHJ Chapter 194

As Scathach entered the palace, she laid eyes on the loathsome king. He was perched atop his throne, poring over documents, while the courtiers and attendants scurried around, engrossed in their own affairs, ignoring her presence.

Upon gazing at the king's scornful expression, memories of the 28 times she was insulted in the Shadow Land flooded her mind, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Fueled by rage, Scathach lifted her spear with a murderous aura and aimed it at the king, decla...

"How has the situation been lately?"

"A cold wave is sweeping through the land, and kingdoms both large and small are suffering from famine. As a result, they have neither the resources nor the time to mount any attacks on our forces."

Vortigern asked, "What about King Arthur? I recall that he built a defensive line specifically to fend off my magical beasts."

"According to the news spread by the bards, they are struggling to cope with the cold wave. Th...

IBHJ Chapter 192

As they approached the military camp, they could see a group of soldiers clad in gleaming silver armor, vigorously training with Gae Bolg.

The soldiers let out thunderous shouts and infused their weapons with powerful bursts of magical energy, swinging them with all their might.

"Boom boom boom boom -!"

Their strikes were so forceful that the ground beneath them began to tremble and crack open.

All one thousand soldiers in the unit had been bestowed with the skills of ...

IBHJ Chapter 191

It has been more than a year since Shirou ascended to the throne as king. Throughout this time, he has faced numerous challenges and experienced a great deal. One of the toughest trials he faced was a sudden cold wave that descended upon his lands and froze all of his crops. This disaster left him with no choice but to seek help from the people of neighboring territories and borrow food from them.

Thankfully, Lancelot proved to be a valuable asset during this difficult time. He traveled...

IBHJ Chapter 190

Shirou recognized the spear all too well. Whenever he entered the shadow world in his dreams during the 20th century, Scathach would attack him with this very same weapon, without even giving him a chance to speak.

"Wait a minute--!" he shouted out, trying to halt her assault.

Scathach, who had been poised to strike him down with the deadly spear, halted and regarded him icily. "Are you surrendering and returning on your own accord?" she demanded.

"No, I just wanted to ask.....

The air conditioning was turned on and the heat it produced effectively separated the chill from the outside air, creating a steamy atmosphere.

"Are you considering writing a thesis on the Eternal King? It's no surprise you came to me. After all, I had the longest contact with Saber, who was the King of Knights during the Fourth Holy Grail War. But before we start, let me ask you something. Are you ce...

"Has all the grain been stored?" Shirou asked.

"Yes, my king. Everything has been properly stored," replied Lucan.

Shirou let out a sigh and slumped back onto the throne. "How is the construction of the greenhouse progressing?"

"The majority of the greenhouses on the eastern side have been completed."

"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work, Lucan."

As he watched Shirou slump on the throne, Lucan felt a pang in his heart and said, "My king, it is you who works ...

IBHJ Chapter 187

Shirou had made a grave mistake by coming to the island of Britain without considering its cold climate. He had assumed that the island had a temperate oceanic climate with mild temperatures all year round and failed to prepare accordingly.

Even the previous year's weather had been relatively mild, which led him to ignore the sudden cold weather in the past ten days. However, this year's temperature had unexpectedly dropped, and he had failed to anticipate it due to his preoccupation wi...
