Plot[]
Part 1[]
Percival Platton's Emblem
The Percival Platoon is made up of Percival himself, Donny, Nasiens and Anghalhad whom Percival meets one by one during his journey through Britannia and who decide to accompany him to Liones to reach their own objectives. Guided by Lancelot in the guise of "Sin", the group travels to Liones so that Percival fulfills his destiny as a Holy Knight to end Arthur Pendragon's tyranny. During their quest, they face many dangers, coming into conflict with various Holy Knights of Camelot.
After the defeat of Melagaland, Meliodas "officialized" the formation of the Percival Platoon by crowning them Holy Knights of Liones.
Unable to get to Camelot on their own, the Knights of the Apocalypse and their allies are forced to disperse to find a way to access it: the Percival Platoon and Gawain are therefore responsible for investigating in the Fairy King's Forest. However, before parting ways, they spend a night in Wolnack where they find themselves ambushed by Macduff and Teaninich. Jade ends up murdered by Macduff, but thanks to Ioradio Velviger, the Knights of the Apocalypse and their allies discover a way to access Camelot from the Demon Realm, so that they no longer have to disperse for their research.
In the Demon Realm, after defeating the Chaos Knights led by Mortlach and securing the entry to Camelot, Percival discovers his true origin as a Life Spirit imprisoned in a human body by Ironside as a failed plan to make him the vessel of his son, Diodora. This leads Percival to decide to abandon his human body and become a Life Spirit again so that his friends are no longer in danger because of him.
Part 2[]
After Percival fell into a coma following Mortlach's revelations, the Percival Platoon is now divided into two groups: Nasiens watches over Percival's body in the Fairy Realm while searching for a cure capable of waking him up, while Anghalhad and Donny continue their missions to infiltrate Camelot with the Tristan Platoon and Gawain until they ended up separated from them.
After two years of failed attempts to awaken Percival, Nasiens finds themselves on the brink of death during a battle against Worreldane. This leads Percival to finally return to save them. After defeating the Chaos Knight, the two reunite with Donny and Anghalhad on Liones, officially reforming the Percival Platoon. The four members then head out to infiltrate Camelot together. Once there, the group reunites with Gawain and all decides to get into the Annwfyn Gladiator Festival in hopes of rescuing Tristan and take down Beltreipe.
