Chapter 138: The First Wave
Archer the Red loads two arrows onto the string of her love bow, the Bow of the Celestial Dome, aiming not at the vast expanse of the land at hand, but at the night sky illuminated by the hazy moonlight.
The cold, dry wind peculiar to late autumn whipped her hair, and the beast's ears twitched slightly.
Time's up.
"I ask for the protection of the sun god and the goddess of the moon with my bow. ”
The arrows began to shine brightly. Her noble phantasm was not a bow, nor was it an arrow shot from a bow. Both are nothing more than catalysts. Her treasure is the technique of "loading arrows on a bowstring and shooting them" itself.
"Dedication to such a catastrophe - 'Arrow Book of Complaints'!"
The two arrows shot into the air depicted dazzling trajectories and disappeared without a trace through the clouds. This is wolf smoke, the first arrow.
It was a complaint to God. Apollo, the god of the sun, Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Both are gods with a deep connection to the sun and the moon. At the same time, Apollo was also the god of bows and arrows, and Artemis was the god of hunting.
As the price for Archer to seek protection, their demands are disaster. The so-called protection - that is, to inflict disaster on the enemy.
The night sky was filled with a faint glow, and a small sound sounded like rain fluttering in the wind. But that's not a gentle drizzle. The god of the storm sought sacrifices and sprinkled the earth with a torrential rain called Calamity.
Countless arrows of light flashed in the air, and Vlad III of the Black Berserker was the first to be among them, and he raised his hand unhurriedly, and dozens of black rafters rose from the ground, intertwining into a wall to block the rain of arrows.
A few steps behind, the black Saber Siegfried was more comfortable than the former, neither swinging his sword to block nor dodge, just standing in place, letting the rain of arrows hit my body, and I didn't move.
However, don't assume that this Phantasm is weak just because the Light Arrow didn't hurt Vlad III and Siegfried. In fact, the "Arrow Book of the Complaint" is a treasure that has reached the B rank, and it is not weak at all, and the reason why it will be easily blocked by the two Servants is because the two Servants themselves are strong, and because the impact surface of the light arrow is the entire alliance of artificial humans and puppets!
Atalanta wasn't going for the Servant in the first place, what she wanted to reduce was the number of miscellaneous soldiers!
The artificial people were stabbed by arrows and fell one by one, and even the puppets that were supposed to be sturdy were shattered by the impact of countless arrows—as it should have been, the archers who liberated the Noble Phantasm were sure.
However, a moment before the light arrow swept the enemy, a loud eagle chirp pierced the dim sky.
If the "Book of Arrows of the Pleadings" is a fine rain of green light, then from a distance it is a huge cyan arrow of light that breaks through the sky - no, it is not an arrow, but a cyan storm.
A cyan storm rolled up in the sky, and in the center of the storm, a phantom beast that should not exist in this world poked out its head, with an eagle on its upper body and a horse on its lower body, and a pair of divine wings were enough to match the divine weapons.
"Please!'Hippogriff'!"
With this shout, the cyan storm and the green arrow rain collided head-on, and the army treasure duel the army treasure!
In an instant, the dazzling light replaced the remnant sun that had just set into the horizon and became the most dazzling source of light in the sky.
In the center of the light, the knight who set off this round of collision finally faded away from his usual disconnection and showed a demeanor worthy of the name of Charlemagne's twelve warriors—all from a conversation a few minutes earlier.
"Teacher, are there any enemy servants among the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers?"
It was Shinji who spoke, and it was naturally Charon who was called a teacher by him.
"Nope. The great sage, who had been watching the audience with clairvoyance, shook his head.
Shen Er's eyes flashed, and he pointed out: "The Grand Duke took the lead and no one came to stop him, why do you think this is? It is impossible for this level of miscellaneous fish to pose a threat to the Grand Duke and Fei Ge, and the so-called consumption is even more of a joke - as long as the Grand Duke thinks about it, these miscellaneous fish will be gone in an instant." ”
"There are two possibilities, the first is that this group of dragon tooth soldiers is used to send them to death, to test the strength of the Grand Duke. From that air fortress, it is not difficult to see that the enemy has a very powerful magician. For a magician of this level, summoning the Dragon's Tooth Soldier is only the prelude, and the next one is the main force. And a kind of ......"
"It's a long-range strike. Astolfo took Caron's words, "I've done this before, stun with the horn flute, and sweep it with the Hippogriff, hahaha, it's really refreshing." ”
"Since you have experience, I'll leave it to you. Shinji snapped his fingers, "You ride a Hippogriff and follow the army, if it's the first type, you will cooperate with the Grand Duke and Fei Ge to sweep over as you say." If it's the second type, you use your Noble Phantasm to offset the opposite Phantasm, as a rider, you can't have a Rival Noble Phantasm, right?"
"Yes, yes, but ...... That guy's appetite is too great to sacrifice that child's companion for the sake of my victory. ”
Summoning Hippogriffs, then riding and servicing - only at this stage, then the mana cost is not much, and it is completely enough to be supplied by a single android. The problem lies in the case of chanting the real name and exerting its power.
At that time, the consumption of mana was almost equal to the level of releasing A-grade treasures with all his might. And it's not like it's a hit that ends when it's released, as long as you maintain the state of deploying the Hippogriff, it will continue to consume mana, which is a very poor way to use it with a very poor energy efficiency ratio.
The gesture of the artificial people who had been drained of their magical power came to mind, and Ziggy's insignificant plea was reminded. Anyway, I still don't want to do that. That being the case, he had no choice but to do otherwise.
Ahh
Originally, he was supposed to ignore the existence of the magic battery and liberate his real name. Even Ziggy does not blame himself for this. After all, the Servant was summoned to fight and win the victory, so of course it was impossible to make such excessive demands on him.
However, Astolfo is such a heroic spirit - he only does what he wants to do, and no one can force him to do what he does not want to do.
Both Kajon and Shinji are well aware of this, and Shinji is ready to convince him of his methods.
"You're a little mistaken. No matter how great the consumption of military treasures is, the sacrifice is only a few androids, and if the enemy is allowed to attack, the dead androids will be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, which is also the companion of that child. It's a bias to judge the value of life purely by quantity, but now—it's the best thing to do, are you going to give up more androids on the battlefield for the sake of those few androids? ”
On one side were Ziggy's companions, and on the other side were more Ziggy's companions - with Astolford's not very clever brain, only one answer could be drawn.
"Ahhhh
The knight tugged at his braids, called out the Hippogriff, and rode up in a huff.
Shinji sighed when he saw this, "I'm sorry, Astolford. ”
"No apologies, you didn't do anything wrong!" Astolford hammered his partner hard and rushed into the sky.
"Can't stop it, don't block it hard!"
"Got it, I have a trump card. "Finally the sound was staccato anymore.
"Teacher, did you say I was wrong?" Shinji smiled wryly as he looked at the back of Astolfo's departure.
"You're not wrong, this is war. There was a hint of sadness on her face, "Next, it's our turn, Assassin—don't die." ”
"You too, teacher. ”
For some reason, Shinji, who was originally full of confidence, inexplicably felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
In the distance, the brilliance of green and green exploded.
PS: Phoibos Catastrophe
Grade: B
Type: Weapon Treasure
Distance: 2~50
Maximum capture: 100 people
This is a treasure that embodies the concept of "drawing a bow and releasing arrows".
With the "Tauropolos" (Bow of the Celestial Firmament) given by the guardian god Artemis, a book of arrows invoking the protection of Apollo, the god of the sun, and Artemis, the goddess of the moon. The God of Destruction responded to this request by granting Archer Blessing in the form of a calamity to the enemy, and a rain of arrows of light rained down from the sky to attack the entire body.
Also known as "Soul Chasing Sword...... Lie to you. By the way, the version of "Complete Material" can only attack either a male or a female, which is why it's so hard to use. (The prolific woman Niopa ridiculed Apollo and Artemis' mother Leto for having "few children", so the story of Apollo and Artemis shooting Niopa's children to death without leaving them to work.) )
It can be used for wide-area strikes or intensive strikes, making it a very convenient treasure. Although the attack power of each arrow is very small, it will be very strong against Servants with low durability and high agility due to the large number of arrows that will hit them together. Isn't this Atalanta herself?
PS2: Fei Ge said that there was no pressure, I just lay down on the ground, you can fight casually, anyway, you don't break the defense.
