Seventy-one - Knights
"Yo, Saber, do you feel like the number of black beasts has suddenly decreased by a lot?"
"I'm not sure, but hasn't the number of black beasts been decreasing dramatically? After all, the rest of the people should have been fighting one after another since just now."
"No, although the others are also killing a large number of black beasts, I always feel that this moment is special, as if a considerable number of black beasts have disappeared out of thin air."
"Ha, you two are really at ease."
At the same time that all the guardians had already started a battle with the black beasts, at the foot of the mountain gate stairs of the Liudong Temple, the four people including Emiya Shirou and the two ceremonies also happened to break through the massive black beasts in front of them and slaughtered in front of the base camp of the Black Grail.
This is where the Black Beasts continue to produce, and at the same time, it is also the starting point for the Black Beasts to march! In other words, it's not hard to imagine how terrifying the number of black beasts here is!
From the beginning of crossing the Dongmu Bridge connecting Xindu and Shenshan Town, there are basically large and small, twists and turns, and hundreds of streets, roads and small roads are all black beasts!
It may not be enough to say that it is all black beasts, but if you think of the street as a box without a lid, and the buildings on both sides and the sky and the ground are its four walls, then the black beasts are like cotton. Because of their softness, they can be stuffed into the box as hard as possible until there is no room left for the water to drain through.
Of course, the black beasts are not static cotton, and in fact, from the very beginning, they have been moving towards the mansion of the new capital without stopping.
From a distance, it looks like a moving rectangular cube
There are more than 10,000 black beasts here, maybe even more! Even if it's just a straight line of blood, it's definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve. If it were an ordinary few heroic spirits who came here, I am afraid that they would have been overwhelmed by this countless black tide, and only with the strength of Emiya Shirou and others, plus fighting side by side, can they break through along the way.
But it is good that Rao is like this, and the human body will be poor after all.
Not to mention this god-level argument of Emiya Shirou, he waved the blade in his hand without stopping, and he already didn't know how many enemies he had killed, and at this moment, even Saber and Joan of Arc felt that their arms were a little sore, not to mention the two rituals that were inferior to them in terms of physical ability.
Even Heroic Spirits or Heroic Humans, they are never a permanent generator, and it is impossible to fight endlessly.
Approaching the enemy's base camp, the number of black beasts is also increasing, and even worse, I don't know if it's because they instinctively feel that they are threatened, the black beasts outside have begun to gradually have a tendency to be transferred back, and this makes the situation of the four of Emiya Shirou even worse!
"At the same time that the black beasts disappeared just now, there was also a wave of spatial fluctuations. The only people who can do this, besides me, Iai, Zelrich, and Jill, are probably Sister Elquit and Zhu Yue. Listening to the voices of the three people behind him, Emiya Shirou silently waved the long knife in his hand to blast the black beasts in front of him into a swarm, and at the same time did not forget to answer the questions of the three people in his mouth, "I am here, Yi Ai and Jill are guarding the position of the new capital, although Zelrich is here, but the direction is the opposite." If I'm not mistaken, it should have been Sister Elquit who used her fantasy embodiment to pull some of the black beasts into Millennium City, right? However, considering that she may not be able to bear this mana consumption alone, maybe Zhu Yue also came here and helped her, right? If that's the case, then the reason why Sister Elquit left the team suddenly just now makes sense. ”
"Is that True Ancestor King here too?" As the only person among the people present who participated in preventing Zhu Yue from seizing Elquit's body, and had seen her more than once after that, he couldn't help but recall the old scene in his mind, Joan of Arc subconsciously frowned, and then stretched out again, "Well, forget it, anyway, she's here to help this time." It's terrifying to be an enemy, but it's reassuring if it's a reinforcement."
"I really feel the same way!" As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and slashed the black beast that had just almost pounced on the two rituals, and Emiya Shirou gasped and smiled, "Compared to Sister Elquit, our side is starting to get into trouble." ”
"If you just need to concentrate on killing a bloody path in front of you like just now, this is no problem. But "
"The black beasts behind us are starting to turn back to protect their lair, in this state of being attacked from front to back, not only to deal with the black beasts in front of us, but also to kill the enemies behind us to ensure the safety behind us, if we continue like this, we will not be able to move an inch."
Taking over what Joan of Arc and Emiya Shirou were talking to, Saber suddenly turned around and stopped, slashing several black beasts, "It just so happens that we also came to the mountain gate of Liudong Temple, and there is only one road left from here to the top. From now on, I'll stay here to stop the Black Beasts on their way back! Joan of Arc, Shirou Kazuki pleases you. ”
"Although I really want to promise you," the red flame covered the silver knight's sword in his hand, and only made eye contact with Emiya Shirou above, Joan of Arc stopped, waved his hand sideways, and with the red sparks falling, the black beasts on the stairs just now have turned into four pieces and fallen to the ground, "I'm sorry to tell you, but I don't worry about leaving you here alone, even our deed lord seems to think so." ”
"I said, are you crazy? Shirou is our contractor, and Shirou is human! You're just going to let them rush on their own?"
"However, you can't deny that Shirou is stronger than us, and Koshiki already has the strength to keep up with us." Walking to the same steps as Saber, his eyes did not leave the black beasts that were gradually gathering directly below, Joan of Arc smiled with a little helplessness, "Of course, the bird needs protection, but since the other party has already grown into an eagle, although it does not mean that we should give up the responsibility of protecting the other party, but we also have to choose to let go at the right time, right?" Let's choose to believe them again. ”
P.S.1: Well, the goal is to finish it this week.
