Just like that, the first day of the Mountain City's official establishment passed smoothly amidst cheers and laughter.
On this day, many of the mountain people did not sleep at all. They played to their heart's content and only lay down to rest when it was almost dawn.
However, there were also many who did not go all out and went to rest rationally.
These people were the soldiers of the mountain people.
Altoria Alter had already given the order to attack the Round Table Fortress on the second day. The ordinary citizens were temporarily ignored. All the soldiers had to rest and conserve their energy in preparation for the next day's expedition. Only the troops responsible for guarding the Mountain City could take turns to stand guard. However, they were also not allowed to celebrate. Instead, they had to patrol and keep watch at night.
The soldiers did not have any complaints. After all, after the Mountain City was established, they also celebrated with the citizens. Moreover, they ate and drank to their heart's content. This was already very satisfying for them, and they continued to work without any complaints.
After all, in order to fight against the Holy Capital, the soldiers could not go hungry. Before this, the citizens had saved a lot of food for the soldiers. Only then could the soldiers have the strength to fight. Therefore, many soldiers were extremely grateful to the ordinary citizens. Now that they could see the citizens eating and drinking to their heart's content and celebrating to their heart's content, they were already very happy. Continuing to protect them silently was their duty and something that they were willing to do.
Therefore, although the establishment of the Mountain City brought many surprises and transformations, it was still operated in an orderly manner. There were no problems because of this.
The next day, when the citizens who had completely celebrated went to rest, many soldiers who had rested for a night and had eaten their fill lined up in the central square.
There were not many soldiers either. There were probably only around a thousand of them.
There were currently around three thousand soldiers in the Mountain City. The remaining thousands were scattered in various villages in the mountain region. Now, only one-third of the Mountain City's military strength had been mobilized.
In Altoria's words, this was already enough.
"Ordinary soldiers are basically useless in a Servant battle. This time, with your Demon Envoys, we don't have to mobilize too many soldiers. If everything goes smoothly, a few hundred people are actually enough."
That's what Altoria said.
According to him, Rozen's Tamed Monsters were the main force in this battle. The soldiers' role was to loot and transport all the supplies in the fortress. They could also recruit the people in the fortress and be responsible for escorting the people and supplies.
As for the troops in the Mountain City, they were handed over to Bedivere, who was also staying behind.
Now, everyone was gathered in the central square.
Rozen yawned while looking at Mashu next to him, and he couldn't help but say.
"Are you alright? Matthew? "
It was no wonder Rozen asked this question.
Taking a closer look, although Matthew was standing tall and straight, there was a strong sense of fatigue in her eyes, and her complexion was somewhat unsightly.
This was the result of an entire night of training with Altoria.
"I … I'm fine …"
Matthew said stubbornly, but the tiredness in her eyes couldn't be eliminated.
"Okay, give me your hand."
Rozen thought it was a bit funny. He took Matthew's hand and drew a rune on her palm.
Thereupon, enough vitality and vitality to relieve fatigue poured into Matthew's body, making Matthew feel warm all over. Her spirit and complexion became a lot better.
"Thank you, senior."
Matthew smiled gratefully at Rozen.
Rozen didn't take it seriously. Instead, he raised his head and looked ahead.
There, Altoria slowly walked over, accompanied by Bedivere.
"Are you ready?" Altoria resolutely said, "If you're ready, then get ready to go."
Hearing this, before Rozen and Matthew could answer, Chaldea's communication came.
"The most suitable route has been planned for you."
Roman's voice sounded.
"Follow this route, and if there's no accident, you won't encounter any enemy. Moreover, you can also avoid physical exhaustion to a certain extent."
Da Vinci also said so.
"Unfortunately, the distance is too far, so there's no way to scan the situation of the round table fortress. Otherwise, we can determine whether there are followers there or not, and what about their military strength."
Olga Marie's voice was tense.
"In that case, don't waste time, let's go."
That was Artoria's simple and crude way of doing things.
At this time, Bedivere finally spoke.
"I wish you all a smooth and triumphant return."
Bedivere solemnly performed a knight's salute.
"Please leave it to us, Mr. Bedivere."
Matthew also solemnly assured Bedivere.
Obviously, Matthew had a good impression of this great senior of the round table fortress.
"Let's go!"
Altoria directly ordered everyone to leave the Mountain City and march in the direction of the round table fortress.
Bedivere has been watching everyone for a long time and didn't leave.
That figure, for some reason, looked a bit lonely and desolate.
Matthew looked back and somewhat regretfully said.
"If Mr. Bedivere is willing to conclude a temporary contract with senior, then it would be good. In that way, Mr. Bedivere's strength would be improved, and the king would not neglect him."
In Matthew's view, Altoria was quite cold to Bedivere.
That coldness was not even shown to Rozen and Matthew. It was as if she wanted to draw a line with Bedivere, which made people feel that the loyal and devoted Bedivere was somewhat pitiful.
However, Matthew thought that the reason why Altoria treated Bedivere so coldly was mainly because Bedivere's strength was relatively weak.
For this reason, Matthew once proposed to Bedivere that he should conclude a temporary contract with Rozen. At that time, Bedivere's spirit base would be improved, and he could even become a top level servant.
However, after revealing a bitter expression, Bedivere solemnly refused.
That was what he said.
"A knight like me is not qualified to conclude a contract with the master."
Matthew couldn't understand Bedivere's approach.
On the other hand, Rozen didn't try to persuade her, nor did he agree with her. He just remained silent.
Therefore, while Matthew has been awakened as a special A level servant and Altoria has become unprecedentedly powerful, only Bedivere still maintained his uncontracted state.
So Rozen smiled and touched Matthew's head.
"Bedivere must have his own reasons for doing this. Don't underestimate Altoria too much. Even if the situation is reversed, she is not the kind of person who would judge a person's value by the level of strength. She has already said that Bedivere can't go to the battlefield. He is our trump card, so that must be the case. Therefore, don't think that Altoria has given Bedivere the cold shoulder, she must have her own reasons."
Rozen's words made Matthew fall into contemplation, and then she nodded.
The two of them then followed the main force and left together with Altoria, who walked at the front without looking back.
Their target was the round table fortress.
