Mana surged upward, carrying killing intent and madness. A heart-pounding red glow radiated from Lancelot's helmet as he raised the anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on the armored vehicle and opened fire on the flock of Wyverns in the sky!
Ar...thur!!!!!!!!!!!
Lancelot let out a bone-chilling roar, and a barrage of steel poured toward the Wyverns.
Soon, clusters of bloody rain bloomed in the air. Countless chunks of flesh splattered as the Wyverns cried out miserably, riddled by the sudden hail of bullets. One after another, the dead creatures fell from the sky.
"S-So amazing!" Mash and Kiyohime's eyes widened at the sight. He had wiped out half the Wyverns so effortlessly. If the remaining Wyverns had not broken into the city, Lancelot probably would have exterminated them all.
"Hurry and go reinforce the city! Don't let them destroy where we're sleeping tonight!"
At Su Mo's command, he pulled Mash and Kiyohime onto the armored vehicle and ordered Lancelot to drive it through the city gates and charge into the city.
Inside the city, a girl in silver armor and a metal headdress was fighting the Wyverns that had slipped inside all by herself.
The girl had light golden hair braided into a long plait that reached her waist, with suitably trimmed bangs framing her forehead. She held a white military banner decorated with patterns, using it to smash apart the fireballs launched by the Wyverns.
"Everyone... please come behind me. I'll take you somewhere safe!" The girl struggled to withstand the Wyverns' attacks as she anxiously called out to the surrounding soldiers and civilians.
"Who would hide behind a witch?!"
"Damned witch, wasn't destroying our homeland enough? Are you trying to kill us all now?!"
"Witch, go die!!!"
The civilians and soldiers of France glared hatefully at the girl fighting the Wyverns. Not only did they fail to thank her for saving their lives, they instead hurled vicious insults at her.

Ran into Someone Familiar
The girl's name was Jeanne d'Arc, but she was not the Dragon Witch people spoke of.
She had been suddenly summoned as a Ruler-class Servant. However, her summoning had been incomplete. Not only was her knowledge of the Holy Grail War incomplete and her class abilities, True Name Revelation and the Command Spells for Servants, unusable, but most infuriatingly, even her parameters had been lowered. If they had not been weakened, these Wyverns would never have dared act so arrogantly before her.
Jeanne d'Arc glanced at the French soldiers and civilians around her, who hated her. Although she did not understand why they called her a witch and despised her so deeply, her kind nature would not allow her to abandon them.
"I have to protect them!"
With that thought in mind, before the Wyverns in the sky could launch their next wave of attacks, Jeanne d'Arc raised her military banner high and invoked the true name of her Noble Phantasm!
"My Lord is Here!"
Although Jeanne d'Arc's Magic Resistance had been weakened considerably because of the incomplete summoning, she could still handle the Wyverns' fireball attacks.
She transformed her Magic Resistance into a protective force capable of blocking all physical and spiritual attacks, successfully stopping the Wyverns' assault. But before Jeanne d'Arc could breathe a sigh of relief after the first wave ended, the second wave followed immediately!
"Hold on... If I fall here, the soldiers and civilians around me will..."
Knowing this, Jeanne d'Arc endured bitterly. She poured all her strength into the military banner. Everyone's lives now rested on this banner. She had to hold on!
"Could that Saint desperately protecting us really be the Dragon Witch?"
The surrounding soldiers and civilians wavered. The panic and hatred on their faces had vanished, replaced by tears of regret sliding from their eyes, as if they had found salvation once more.
