Section 24 Node 2 Recollection Quest (4/6)

Tch. I was hoping I could charge in during this decoy operation...

But these walls are just bizarre! They're hot, cold, slippery, and repellent all at the same time!

It's almost like they're alive, the way they adapt to whatever I throw at 'em! Dammit!

Camelot's walls are modeled after Orkney's! They've got thousand-year old live oak trees propping them up on the inside!

Don't bother trying to destroy them! They'll just regenerate instantly! It'd be faster to just pry open the east gate!

We don't got tools for somethin' like that! No choice but to hold our ground here!

No, wait, hang on. You're a Caster, right, blue guy? Can you make us a platform we can use to scale the walls!?

Oh! An oak platform to counter an oak wall, huh? Good idea! I'll grow one right now!

...Aw crap. Looks like your brilliant idea was a little late, red guy! Look, up there!

...! I know that sound!

...Just two Servants? This must be the decoy. Too bad.

But at least you two should be worthy opponents. And since we've met, we can skip the introductions.

We can finally pick up where we left off at Sheffield and the pit.

This time, I'll make sure I finish you both off properly, now that I know how resilient Servants can be.

Muramasa, I'll cut you into horizontal sections, and Grímr into vertical ones. Doesn't that sound nice, since you're such good friends?

Friends!? I hardly know this kid! If you wanna slice and dice him, you go right ahead!

Nobody asked you! Come on, Muramasa, let's show her what we can really do! 'Course, if you wanna let her chop you into Servant chunks, I won't stop you!

There, you see? You are friends. You think alike. That makes this even more worth it.

Finding a good rival is hard, especially when you're one of the strongest creatures ever to exist. Like me.

That so? Then you'd better come at us with everything you've got, too. You still haven't fought at your full strength, right?

You bet I will! It would be a waste to hold anything back against you two!

My name is Tam Lin Lancelot! Prepare to be sliced to ribbons, you ridiculous Divine Spirits of Proper Human History!

Gotcha!

Kh...! How can the foreign mage be supporting you from so far away?

It ain't support. It's a strategy. It took a lot out of him, but I had Fujimaru summon those Servants before we began our advance...

And I used my own magical energy to keep them around.

But, that all ends now. This took a hell of a lot more outta me than I expected!

I knew I was insane to try and look after Heroic Spirits from different mythologies!

You're a mage? Then...Sage isn't just a nickname?

The hell do you take me for!?

Well...you just look like you'd be more at home throwing spears. Besides, Gungnir's pretty famous in Britain, too...

Aww... I thought you were a Lancer, like me...

...What the actual hell? Muramasa, are you SURE this is the Lancelot everyone's so afraid of?

I know, I know. It's hard to believe, but yes, she's a lonely airhead. But it's her, for sure.

...(That's it. I'm definitely killing Muramasa later.)

...Hang on. That doesn't make any sense. Your objective is to break through the main gate.

The foreign mage should be putting everything he has into that.

If he had power to spare for you, that must mean

They did it! The giant corps broke through the main gate!

And that's not all! Tam Lin Barghest has defected from the queen's army!

Barghest the Indomitable is on our side now!

Barghest... So that's why your heart didn't seem to be in this...

...Very well. You've won this battle.

Tam Lin Lancelot has officially lost.

Go ahead and tell everyone that the Child of Prophecy defeated all three of Morgan's knights.

But that's only because I can see which way the wind is blowing here.

Remember, I personally haven't lost. Don't you dare think otherwise.

...Yup, that's a dragon all right.

That's the trouble with those dominant species types. They act like they understand the human world, but they never listen to a thing people say.

Ah well, at least our work here is done. I'm gonna head back to the main force along with the division. How 'bout you?

I'm gonna join Fujimaru.

Even with Barghest on our side, we've still got our work cut out for us invading the castle proper.

Gotcha. Well good luck.

...Remember, Morgan's serious business.

According to the first Grímr's notes, she's never backed down from a fight in her life.

It doesn't matter where she is or who she's up against.

Once she starts a fight, she won't stop until her opponent's dead, or she is.

She's as dedicated and stubborn as they come.

Altria might be okay, but an opponent like that's gonna be tough for Fujimaru and Mash to deal with.

So make sure you keep an eye out for them. And if worse comes to worst... You catch my drift?

'Course I do. Seems like everyone's forgotten about it by now, but the whole reason I came here in the first place was to take Morgan's head.
