Chapter 153: Attack on Joan of Arc
Now that I think about it, Joan of Arc had the feeling that something was "wrong" from the beginning.
There were many people, and the battle of seven horsemen against seven horsemen. This is indeed an extraordinary state of affairs where the Ruler must be summoned.
Joan of Arc, however, has the conviction that this is not the purpose for which she was given.
Somewhere inside of me, there seemed to be something urging me. It's not so much a sense of mission as a sense of crisis, and something irreversible is happening.
This is evidenced by the subsequent encounter with Artoria, the conversation with Shinji, and the information he gets from the Lion Raider.
The moment he saw the massive floating fortress, Ruler's agitation reached its peak.
It was supposed to be an air fortress belonging to the red side. Although there are countless Holy Grail Wars, things like that are too anomalous. If it's just flying, there's no need to use servants at all, whether it's modern technology or magic. However, that thing is a completely different dimension. Even with the magic of the gods, there are very few who can achieve such a feat.
I'm afraid that it was a treasure of a certain servant on the red side, and it was a powerful treasure with an exceptional level, and the source of his summoning as shown by the "Revelation" was in the middle of that courtyard.
"It doesn't seem that easy to solve. ”
Not to mention dealing with a deadly existence hiding in it, I'm afraid it's not easy to just walk in front of that person. However, this did not affect Joan of Arc's determination, she not only shouldered her own mission, but also carried the trust of her friends.
The obstacle came sooner than she expected. Directly in front of East Stalien's gallop, hundreds of dragon's tooth soldiers gathered together, sensed Joan of Arc's breath, and immediately rushed over.
In the face of this number of dragontooth soldiers, even BMW, which was active in the elven era like Don Starlien, could not go on a rampage like before.
But Hakuba had no intention of slowing down. While spotting the Dragontooth Soldier, Joan of Arc patted it lightly on the back. Psychic, it quickly understood Joan of Arc's message - keep going, and the obstacle will be handed over to me.
The girl, who exudes an aura similar to her master, is a trusted friend of her master, Artoria, and naturally the object of Don Starion's trust. Since Joan of Arc asked for it, Don Starlien would not hesitate to do it.
Moments before the head of the white horse touched the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers, Joan of Arc waved the Holy Banner and swept away the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers who stood in their way.
That's right, this holy flag was her usual weapon, not the crystal clear one-handed sword that hung from her waist.
I don't know if it was the custom of the time or a simple coincidence, the tip of the French army's flag was equipped with a tip similar to the head of a spear, and Joan of Arc used it specifically to attack, or to stab the tip of the flag, or to beat the enemy with the flagpole - after all, it was a military flag that represented the spirit and morale of the army, and it was of great significance, not ordinary solidity. Although no one has done this before, there is no denying that it works well as a weapon. And because Joan of Arc fought bravely, always took the lead, and the military flag always flew at the forefront, which greatly boosted the morale of the French army and completely reversed the decline of the French army in the Anglo-French war.
Of course, the comrades-in-arms led by Gilles de Les and Duke de Luncon did not approve of this approach, and often persuaded Joan of Arc - we have no problem with you stabbing and beating people, but at least remove the flag, which is not only useless in battle, but sometimes causes inconvenience.
Of course, there is no problem with this statement, but these noble comrades-in-arms who play with swords have never thought about what is the three-meter-long wooden pole with a metal tip without the flag? If you don't see King Arthur with the same face on his head, he is lucky to be B~A when he holds a sword, and he will become C when he holds a gun. Joan of Arc's Lucky starts with C, and with a gun, it may be reduced to E. At that time, a casual move could have killed Joan of Arc, let alone save France and liberate Orleans.
So, the Lord who had been guiding Joan of Arc sent down a revelation and told her not to listen to those pit teammates, and that you should use the flag as a weapon. Since then, Joan of Arc has used the tip of a spear at the front of the (flag), which is a revelation that I want to use this flag to beat others. For the reason, the flag is used as a weapon until it becomes a heroic spirit. (Only Joan of Arc's excuses are true, the others are made up.) )
With a razor-sharp roar like a battlefield, Joan of Arc easily struck through the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers' obstacles.
Although she has always adhered to the principle of "avoiding actions that are directly related to the outcome of the Holy Grail War", there is no way to do it since the other party is acting hostile to herself.
Just as she relied on Hakuba's speed advantage to get out of pursuit, a new obstacle arrived.
Not from the ground, but from the sky, somewhere in the upside-down courtyard of the sky, "something" the size of a human.
These things flew over the shattering battlefield between the Servants, flew over the never-ending meat grinder of androids, puppets, and dragontooth soldiers, and swooped down towards Joan of Arc.
Although their upper body is a dragon's tooth soldier, they have wings on their backs, and their lower body is clearly in the posture of birds.
"Harpuia...... No, is it an improved version of the Dragon's Tooth?"
Through the knowledge given by the Holy Grail, Joan of Arc discerns the true form of these monsters.
As a flying beast, the demon bird is the most susceptible to the temptation of appetite, and is obviously cruel by nature but timid as a mouse, and is not suitable for being a soldier at all. Therefore, the Red Assassin Semiramis fused them with the Dragontooth Soldier to form a new magic creation, the Dragonwing Soldier.
Although they were named "Dragon Wings", they still couldn't hide the shabby and ugliness of these soldiers. However, this does not mean that the Dragonwingers are weaker, their hooks are sharper than steel, they are faster than the Falcon, not to mention that they are as numerous as the Dragonfangs. More than 100 dragon wings attacked at the same time, almost like a bird burial, and under the orders of the owner of the garden, they attacked at the same time in order to eliminate the unscrupulous people who tried to invade the garden.
Since they are flying units, they can attack enemies from all directions, and even Joan of Arc, whose attribute panel is comparable to the Saber class, will find it a bit troublesome to face such a siege by force alone, not to mention that she has East Starion to protect.
Fortunately, although Joan of Arc is not very good at attacking, she is very good at guarding, and it can only be said that the Dragon Wingers have picked the wrong opponent.
I saw the legendary girl who saved France holding the holy flag with both hands, and activated the true name of the Noble Phantasm with a holy gesture engraved in history.
"My god is here!"
PS: Joan of Arc's own martial arts skills are probably similar to those of Artoria (during the Four World Wars), although it is not a non-human martial art (Divine Domain/Divine Domain), but they are definitely not afraid of the dragon wing soldiers. But just because they're not afraid doesn't mean the mounts aren't afraid. Silly hair has "Wind King Enchantment" and "Magic Power Release", but it can be swept away, but Joan of Arc has nothing, and it is a big loss.
PS2: This is where the value of a mount can be seen, a good mount can greatly improve the strength of the owner, and a mount that is not strong enough can sometimes drag the owner back. Afu's Hippogriff is under no pressure in the face of the siege of the Dragonwings, but Artoria's White Horse is not. After all, it is the age of elves, not the age of gods, and there are fewer and fewer fantasy species. Silly hair can't wave around like Ah Fu, all kinds of adventures and all kinds of secret realms, so there is no fantasy to be a mount.
PS3: Ah Fu's strongest mount should be the Griffin, I don't know when I will see this famous fantasy species.
