Fate/Grand Order: Divine Realm of the Round Table - Camelot Paladin; Agateram
Synopsis
"This time for sure, I will kill my king with my own hands..." Jerusalem, 1273 A.D. Here, both the wandering knight, Bedivere, and Chaldea’s own expedition find the Sixth Singularity. The residents of this desolate land have been driven from their homes as three opposing powers battle for control of the land. Bedivere and company seek the help of the Mountain People to rise up against the Lion King and the Knights of the Round Table and combat their slaughter of innocents. After a deadly struggle and the loss of a dear friend, the group approaches Ozymandias, the Sun King, whose incredible power could help them turn the tables. In the halls of this great pharaoh, they desperately seek an alliance. Ozymandias, however, reveals the Lion King’s plans and refuses to assist in foiling them, instead wishing to protect his own people. Shaken to their core by the revelation of the Lion King’s true intentions, Bedivere and the Chaldean expedition decide to mount an attack on Camelot itself, hoping to put an end to the Lion King’s schemes. At last, the day of the final battle in the Holy City arrives. What are the true intentions of the Lion King, who has become so cold-blooded and diabolical? How can humanity be saved from a world where ruin has been already promised? What will become of Bedivere after shouldering the burden of a sin that can never be pardoned? (Source: Official Website)
