"Attention! Don't panic!" Artoria yelled at the knights who were terrified with the appearance of wyverns.
Why shouldn't they be? Those were freaking 8 foot tall wyverns. Even I was confused since wyverns were considered a rare and highly dangerous species and taming them was another matter.
There were two green and one black one who was the biggest and possibly the leader.
There was a high possibility that someone very strong was hiding in the post. Even Merlin was on guard and casting spells to create a barrier without waiting for Artoria's order since he knew what the best course of action would be.
"Sir Einar and Sir Kay will deal with two small ones while I will be facing the big one. Merlin, stay here and protect knights till we finish those wyverns. I suspect they are not ordinary barbarians as they were described." Artoria acted fast to convey her orders. She even called us in the capacity of knights.
Her voice was showered with majestic aura and her face looked firmed that calmed those knights down in few minutes. I was also baffled by how fast she acted and how effective her response was.
Just like she ordered, Merlin immediately placed a large-scale barrier on the knights before the rain of arrows was showered on them from the barbarian outpost.
Artoria and Brother Kay jumped towards flying wyverns using magic boots prepared by me and Merlin.
"Yosh! Time to beat this lizard." I said and then I also channel magic on my boots and rose from the ground.
Round spells formed on my book of Chastiefol just like Caster Gilgamesh. I was holding the book with my left hand while controlling the spear from my right hand.
(AN: I decided to change his combat style.)
I couldn't fly but I could always use magic to do it.
Cheah*
The wyvern cried looking at my directions.
Wyverns look like dragons but there is a difference. Dragons usually have a long neck, a pair of wings, and four legs but wyverns have two lower legs and wings instead of their upper arms. Dragons are also way bigger standing up to 10 to 15 meters tall whereas wyverns only are 5 to 8 meters long.
Another similarity is that they all spit fire from the mouth.
I flew in the air to engage it in the air battle and also to let it away from the army.
Cheah*
It cried again and breathed fire towards me.
"This is troublesome." I sweated a little as the fire was directly shot towards the forest and incinerated the area. "Ah forest fire, no good."
I then flew in the air to finish the wyvern off.
"Chastiefol Form Five: Increase!" The spear turned into small kunai and rained on the wyvern.
Cheah*
It cried in agony when its wings pierced with small spears and it fell on the ground making an explosion of dust.
Bam*
When I get closer to the wyvern who was taking its last breath, it tried to bite me for one last attempt to kill me but I dodged.
"What a pitiful creature~. Who have such luxury to tame a wyvern?" I questioned myself.
It was almost impossible for normal humans to tame wyverns since they are vile creatures who hunt humans for fun and food but because humans were in great number and wyverns have fertility low, they hardly appeared to human eyes to avoid group attacks.
I then stored it in my inventory since its corpse could be used for resources and then fly towards the position of the army.
Brother Kay and Artoria were still busy dealing with wyverns. Merlin was a little exhausted but still keeping a big barrier allowing knights to retreat to the rear. Some knights were also surrounding the outpost as not to let barbarians escape.
I fly towards Merlin to assist him and strengthen the barrier.
"Hey, these insects are getting hard on greatest magus," I smirked.
"What can I do? I am not made to do these kinds of hard tasks. Poor me~" Merlin said dramatically.
"Should I assist Artoria?" I asked Merlin if I should assist her a bit.
"Don't. It was her time to shine and show her subjects what she is capable of." Merlin said looking at Artoria who was having a hard time dealing with black wyvern but she was improving her techniques and strategy keeping up with her opponent.
Both Merlin and I could solo this outpost but it was time for Artoria to forge her way in people's hearts.
Sure soon enough Artoria was able to hit wyvern's critical parts. I also decided to cast buffs on the Chastiefol spear to destroy the barbarian outpost gate. She also came soon and joined the army.
Kay also finished his battle and joined. Unlike us, he was a proper knight and has much more battle experience than us.
"Sir Einar, are you ready?" Artoria asked to which I nodded. She then proceeded to address the rest of the army and soon they were ready to launch the attack.
I pointed my finger at the massive wooden door and spoke, "Bang."
Chastiefol , buffed with offensive buffs, disappeared and smashing the door with an explosion.
"Charge!" Artoria gave a war cry and ran towards the barbarian post. Merlin was supporting with little healing and attack boost while I was keeping an eye from the air.
With the Increase, I could swoop the barbarians in one go but I want it will steal all the glory that Artoria should have.
Artoria passed the armed barbarians on her horse defeating them rapidly heading towards the boss. I wanted to join her since the boss was able to tame three wyverns so he was not an easy target but I have to keep an eye on any escape route.
[Scan]
I then scan to detect people with mana in other places and soon found an underground tunnel where people were moving. I flew directly to the end of the tunnel and found people coming out.
"Slaves?" They were slaves that were being led outside from the post. Slavery was very common in this era. Even more, so that no one even thinks about discouraging slavery.
"Enemy is upfront! Shoot the arrows!!" the person leading the group found me flying in the air and called bowmen to shoot me.
I just controlled the spear to spin with lightning speed deflecting all the arrows.
"This is getting annoying," I said boringly and then called Chastiefol's fifth form increase. The spear turned into tiny knives and shoot towards the attackers making holes in them.
"D-demon…! Run for your life!" The commander screamed and ran leaving slaves on their own. It is supposed to be a common strategy that if a commander or enemy chooses to flee or escape other than the king or nobles, you should not chase them but I was a rational person.
Leaving them will create further problems. I just waved my hand and all the kunai flew and made holes on escaping barbarians.
"Hero is here!"
"Lord Hero is here to protect us!"
"I knew that someone will come and save us…."
"Is he an angel?"
Sure enough, people started to praise me as a hero. I somehow was able to force a smile since I really don't like it when people place too much hope in you. I sure want to be a knight but I hate being a hero. It is just another way of feeding fish to the poor instead of teaching them to catch fish themselves.
After assuring their safety, I came back with two knights hanging on flying kunai and told them to protect the people. I then flew again to the position of Artoria to witness her first victory as a king and the beginning of a new era.

Many of you might ask why Artoria is in armor. The answer is simple, she was supposed to be male. In FGO there was also Artoria lily but she was just childish version of Arotira's imagination where just like Medea Lily. Well, I cant simply explain lore on how servants gets summoned in different appearance where they don't match with their original selves. They fu*ked up most of the lore.
All in all, Artoria will not appear in her original blue outfit until she fought some battles.
Many were also asking why I didn't upload Omake 2 and only write a little of Omake 3.
Simple, they have a lot of spoilers.
However, I will only upload part of Omake of the future and will upload full chapters after i complete this novel. My Pat buddies could enjoy full omake, it will also support me a little.
Enjoy a little more Omake.

Omake 3
"Ah sorry, I am Leonardo Da Vinci, a Caster and the oldest servant here in Chaldea as well as the true genius of history." Da Vinci proudly introduced herself. She then felt a little chill on her spine when she saw Einar's mysterious smile as well as confusion.
"Hold on, I also have knowledge about history and as far as I know Leonardo Da Vinci is polymath but was a freaking man. How come you appear in the body of Mona Lisa? Is my knowledge wrong?" Einar asked with his eyes twitching.
"Ah haha.. In front of true genius, age or gender is meaningless." Da Vinci smiled and wanted to convert the topic but she forgot that she was dealing with a servant with broken luck.
"You mean that you are bisexual since you are genius?" Einar raised his brows.
"N-No… It has nothing to do with my preference!" Da Vinci said with a blush and after a second, she realized she lost her coo. She then coughed and explained, "You see, i was indeed appeared male in legends-"
"No you are male, old man with proper gender which is fact. Now continue."
"-Man in legends!" Da Vince forced a smile with her eye brows twitching. She didn't know why not a single servant was interested in gender based topic but Einar was. "Anyway, when summoned as a servant, I reshaped into this goddess like body. Genius, isn't it?" She explained but she knew that true headache was about to come.
"In simple terms, you become female and lost your manhood. Legend says that you were pretty boy in your teens but no one knows that you were suffering from short little brother. That's why you changed into a female because of sexual inferiority, what a sad story…" Einar guessed the general problem of the legendary hero and made a sad face.
But his every comment pierced Da Vinci's heard like arrows.
"I-Its not like that…" She was utterly mocked indirectly and was on verge of total defeat.
"You should have asked Merlin about your sexual problems. He is a dick and specializes in dicks."
"Please stop…" Da Vinci pleaded and was on her knees. It was astonishing that the true genius of the history was getting defeated that easily.
"Yeah whatever. I was about to flirt with you even if you were a male in legends only but you are old man from inside that killed my interest in you. What a waste of good beauty who is old man in actuality…" Einar shook his head.
Foam formed in her mouth and she fainted on the spot.
Fatality!
