For the knights and warriors who had been fighting in the Camelot Castle for hours, the majority of them could be seen standing still looking around in shock as they watched the undeads who were ferociously attacking them suddenly began to crumble down, one by one.

The end to the vicious battle came so sudden that they just stood around, at a loss on what they should do.

However, this inactive period, where time seemingly came to a halt, quickly disappeared as those with wits quickly connected the dots and roared in happiness and relief. The fact the undeads started to die by themselves just a few minutes after King Arthur brought the legendary sword to the enemy camp was an indispute coincidence. It was the only thing that could explain the indescribable process happening in front of their eyes.

These people finally let go of any hesitation and shouted their lungs out, dumping all the negative feelings in their heart to the air, as they celebrated the hard-fought victory.

They had managed to defend against more than just an invader, but the very personification of the forces of evil themselves.

Now that there were no more undead walking toward them with dangling entrails trekking on the ground, all that was left which gave them concern were the five thousand Danes' barbarians who gathered right outside of the castle.

Knowing these barbarians had decided to help them at the time of need, the Brittania's knights eventually chose to give them the benefit of doubt by not directly fighting them. Even so, they still kept their guard toward the other side.

"Yes, they did have an agreement with Master Merlin before. A cease fire lasting for half a day," Sir Galahad said when asked.

Sir Percival, however, who had been fighting against the Danes literally all of his life was unconvinced by such words.

"Helping us kill the undead doesn't necessarily mean they won't attack us next. Therefore, we should take the initiative!"

Unfortunately, the bold idea of his was rejected after further consideration. Even if they really wanted to initiate the first contact, the condition of their knights wasn't the best right now. They were completely spent by the exhausting battle against the indefatigable undead. In addition, hundreds would be unable to fight due to various degrees of injury.

"Look! The Queen is with them," Said Sir Yvain, who had been placing his attention on the barbarians. His words immediately caught the attention of everyone who heard him.

Then, from behind the cover of the trees, Arthur could be seen returning from the Northern hill by horse. The Sword of Divine was seen kept in his scabbard, as he was riding across knights. They were all loudly cheering for him, joyously welcoming his arrival.

"King Arthur!"

"The King of Kings!!"

"King Arthur!!"

The band of golden knights quickly joined them out of the castle, following the king as he headed toward the thousands of Danes, who were placing their complete attention on the man. One could imagine under how much pressure a person was when they were stared by thousands of people.

Arthur pulled his horse reins, stopping several meters away from them. Far enough for him to be not caught off guard, but close enough so his voice could still be heard.

"The battle is over!!" He shouted. "Let's talk."

Arthur got down from the horse. His golden armor was still splattered with countless patches of blood, but he seemed completely unaffected by it, as the Danes saw him walk confidently without an ounce of fear toward them, followed by the golden knights who had put their hand on their weapon.

From the other side, all five authoritative Jarl came out as they walked out of the ranks of the barbarians. Together with them Arthur recognised two familiar figures that he was familiar with, Luna Quintins and Queen Gweeneth.

Apparently, with the help of Luna, Gweeneth had been trying to negotiate peace with the Danes for the last few hours following his absence. Knowing what the Danes wanted, Gwen decided she was willing to give them lands for them to cultivate farms.

Unfortunately, because Arthur wasn't present, Gwen could only offer a large portion of Lioness' land, as there was no way she would carelessly give away something she had no power on.

Although famous to be a fertile land, the territory of the former Lioness Kingdom was far too distant from the Danes' territory, being in the south region of Britannia. Hence the negotiation became stagnant.

Things became a bit easier when the Danes saw with their own eyes how the people they had been working together with to destroy Camelot were involved with black sorcery, the force of evil itself.

Added with the Iceni Prince's withdrawal, who had quickly retreated back to his own land, the Danes were able to discuss terms more freely.

Jarl Heraldstone was convinced the undead were the enemy of mankind, hence the reason they had to help the Brittain. Even so, not all the Jarls were convinced.

Unexpectedly, what sealed the deal and persuaded the other Jarls, who were full of suspicion, was the sight of a thunder bird that brightened the vast sky with its own color. Even though her appearance was brief, the sight of Klea riding the legendary bird while wielding the lightning spear was thought to be the mythical Valkyries personally sent by Odin himself.

The majority of the Danes' barbarians became passionate and excited for battle when they saw it. Unable to hold their men, the other Jarl eventually decided to accept and take the deal.

Arthur's sole purpose of his coming now was to seal the deal officially, which he did. He even promised a better land on the eastern region of the Brittain, but he told the Danes to wait as he still needed a little bit of time.

When they heard Arthur's words, Gwen and the golden knights knew Arthur was considering making a move against the Iceni and Norgales Kingdom after the war and divide their territory with the Danes.

The only thing stopping him from immediately doing that was because the kingdom needed to recover from the disastrous battle it had gone through first. Hence, Arthur gave the Danes a place as a guest for a few weeks, which the other side accepted.

With this, the issues with the Danes were basically solved. Arthur bid farewell to the other side for now and brought all the knights back to Camelot City. The citizens needed to be assured that the threat had been resolved.

As the rows of knights entered the city gate, even together with Fey warriors, it was at this time that Gwen decided to ask Arthur the question she had been holding in all this time.

"Where is Merlin? I don't see him Is he alright?"

Arthur told her that Merlin and all the Fey sisters were unable to join for the victory march, as they needed to seek help for Morgana who was still badly wounded.

Hearing the news while seeing how the Camelot's citizens cheered gratefully for what they had done made Gwen realize that their paths in life had further apart. Gwen took a deep sigh and thought that she now had to accept that gradually she was no longer part of Emery's life.

A day after the battle, Arthur and the knights received another surprising news and it remained unknown whether it was good or bad.

When the 6 kingdoms were busy reigning war, the Cantiaci Kingdom, who had been quiet since the battle with Lioness, had surrendered their whole territory to the biggest kingdom the world had ever seen.

Their territory, south of Brittania has been silently taken control by The Roman Republic.
