"[Crown-position-point-point-set-end-completion-]"
With Matthew's elongated voice, which was too fast, the Freedom Haven burst out of the Reiko's transfer tunnel, then fell diagonally, crashing into a leafy tree before successfully stabbing itself in a large pile of branches.
"This is a thrilling ......" Ryunosuke sighed as he hurriedly climbed out of the carriage and fastened it to the dense branches with Matthew, who was more heavily armored.
This is not only referring to the location of this broken car that is almost scrapped, but also referring to the accident that happened when it just left the previous anomaly, although the anomaly was corrected should not cause the collapse of the Lingzi transfer channel, but who let them drive the transportation tool out.
The tide of bright white light, which represented the anomaly collapse correction, rushed directly into the Spirit Son Transfer Channel, closely following them, until this side was about to leave the channel, and then retreated and disappeared in a daze.
"We used a shell made of scrap metal, got a few random tires, and finally drove them with our own magic," Ryunosuke held on to the "Freedom Haven" that was running wildly all the way next to him, which was almost no longer a car model, "Why was he chased by Alayah over there, or 'World Correction'?" β
"[After all, it's the savior's car,]" said Yard, who had reverted back to the gray cube, "Not to mention that we also smashed the embodiment of the 'Anchor of the World'. γβ
"Hmm......" Ryunosuke nodded, and began to observe the surroundings full of branches and leaves.
Regarding the previous world, it was only a possibility in the future, but it was 'fixed' by the female Arthur of the spear level with the "anchor of the world", that is, the holy spear, and the remaining Alaya had to do his best to summon the servants who could solve the matter - as far as the results were concerned, the effect was not very good.
[Spear of Glory] fired three times in a row, and even if all of them were captured, Hassan's mountain city was razed to the ground because of the shock wave.
After consulting with the Mountain Man, Ramses II decided to send many additional Sphinxes as means of transportation, and transferred the inhabitants of Hassan Mountain City to the desert oasis city, although there were many fish and dragons there, but at least they were never bombarded by the female Arthur with a "light cone".
On the other hand, due to the great power and range of the holy spear, but the time it took from launch to hit, although she had already punched a big hole in the Gobi Desert, there was nothing to lose except for a few boring Hassan who had to hang up in the face of this attack and had to repeatedly jump sideways at the edge of the attack range and miscalculate the range.
Therefore, the attacks on Camelot by both sides can only be carried out by means of elite raids rather than large armies, but this cannot be carried out until Ryunosuke and his party appear, and only the two who can dodge King Arthur's attacks without damage before are the two of them.
At this time, there are additions to the Westwalker who is enough to cut off the mountain in one palm, Lin Hao, who has fused all the hundred appearances Hassan, who can briefly disguise himself as other heroic spirits and use their Noble Phantasms, and Ryunosuke, who has the Noble Phantasm in his hand and cannot unlock his real name, but will never lag behind in terms of combat power, plus Matthew, who has a "city-level Treasure".
So, the decapitation operation can already be carried out - it seems to be an operation that the mountain man likes very much?
As for the Arash who would fall apart and die once he released the Noble Phantasm, he was saved by Lin Hao's forcible "Continuation of Battle", but he was extremely weak and needed to recuperate mentally and physically, so he was unable to participate in that operation.
It was at this time that Ryunosuke built a scrap iron vehicle "Freedom Haven" in the already ruined Hassan Mountain City, and at the same time strengthened the equipment for himself and Matthew.
After that, there was a series of big battles:
Matthew directly threw a castle and smashed open the city gate,
Lin Hao and Ryunosuke cleaned up the countless shadow followers who poured out of the city,
Ramses II, the "King of the Sun", against Gawain, a knight who "will not lose as long as there is a sun",
The westward traveler who shouted "It's a scorpion spirit" chased Tristan, who was full of "I'm sad",
The man of the mountain is too lazy to pay attention to the juniors, and walks in a straight line to destroy everything along the way and kill the "anchor of the world", which is like a bamboo.
Lancelot jumped out and tried to stop him, but when he saw Ryunosuke and Matthew, he immediately turned around and fled, and was chased and beaten by Matthew.
Mordred took the initiative to help Ryunosuke kill the "anchor of the world", just to "make her face my power", and stated in advance that as long as the female version of King Arthur opened her mouth to ask for her, she would immediately turn against her,
Ag Guiwen sneaked up on Lin Hao, who he thought was Lin Hao's body, but he was almost poisoned to death by Jing Hassan, who went to join in the fun, but was rescued by Lin Hao and left a life.
In the process, the female version of King Arthur of the Gun Ladder remained firmly at the "Anchor of the World", riding a horse motionless, and gave a reason when Ryunosuke and Yamanowen arrived first.
In her words, she made something special because she didn't approve of such a future, and it had nothing to do with some inexplicable person.
Since this planet no longer has any value, then collect valuable humans who can summon servants, store them in the "Anchor of the World" and launch them into space, find new worlds and open up a home for humanity.
At first glance, it sounded very reasonable, and it made it impossible for Ryunosuke to do anything to the white tower.
But the Man of the Mountain immediately pointed out that this was a lie, and without hesitation, he slashed open the "Anchor of the World" with a single sword, revealing a Demon God Pillar hiding in it.
Amazingly, even after seeing this, the female version of King Arthur insisted that it was a new Alaya born from the "Anchor of the World", and launched an attack on Ryunosuke and the others with it.
Although the giant light cone could not be used, her own combat literacy was not trivial, and she still couldn't easily defeat it under the maneuvering of many parties, until those servants who were originally catching and fighting each other sensed that the aura of the Demon God Pillar gradually gathered, and finally defeated her and the Demon God Pillar together.
Obviously, "collect qualified humans and launch them into space to save the future" is the idea that the Demon God Pillar that represents the "future" has instilled in her, but because the theory is too correct and the Holy Lance has good intentions about the theory of "collect and save", she has never doubted it, but unfortunately, this "future" is not the "future" of the other.
By the way, the westward traveler doesn't know why this female version of King Arthur is called the Bull Demon King, so Mordred is the Red Child?
Then, the servants who solved the matter were counter-summoned, and Ryunosuke was hunted down when he left the peculiarity.
ββ[Let's look at the obedient leaning on the sky to kill gods and demons]ββ
"Senpai, this wayβ"
Walking on top of a large dense forest with dense branches and very close to each other's trunks, in front of Ryunosuke, whose strength has already improved considerably, is more comfortable than flat ground in many cases, and the only problem is how to go down safely.
After searching carefully along the way, Mathew found many vines that could be used for rappelling, and after pulling hard a few times to make sure that they would not be torn off by the weight, he beckoned Ryunosuke from afar.
"How so? What era is it now? Ryunosuke grabbed the vine and drooped down one by one on the trunk of a nearby tree.
"[2655 B.C.]" Yard's words almost startled Ryunosuke into falling off the tree: "[Two Rivers, Mesopotamia Plains. γβ
This is the home of the Gilgamesh Ancient King, although Xiao Hao can chop melons and vegetables to send Gilgamesh flying, but he and Matthew don't have the ability - huh?
"Where's Xiaohao?" Ryunosuke kicked on the trunk of the tree, let go of the vine and jumped down, stepped on a thick layer of fallen leaves on the forest ground, and grabbed Yard, who was flying around, and asked.
"[You were already 'retained' when you tossed that broken car, and then disappeared on the spot, before you took me," Yard shook in a "fly away" gesture.
ββ¦β¦ What has changed? Ryunosuke asked a little speechlessly.
After experiencing several peculiarities, he is already quite familiar with those heroic spirits, seeing the face and clothes, plus the current era, with a little analysis, he can basically guess which goddess his childhood sweetheart has become.
"[Hmm, the screenshot is not very clear, you see. Yard projected a portrait of a man on the trunk of a nearby tree.
"Rin-sama Tosaka?" Matthew had just jumped down from a tree and caught a glimpse of that familiar face.
"Rin Tosaka, Ishtar, ...... of the Two River Basins" Ryunosuke pressed his forehead: "Well, because Xiao Rin was in contact with her when she was supported by the goddess of Venus [Ishtar], she was discovered and taken away as soon as she came here - according to myths and legends, this is a goddess who does her own thing, and if she is interested in Xiao Hao, she will be plundered, and the two of us are directly ignored." β
"Then go to 'Uruk' to find her? I guess that's the name," Matthew said, looking around, "but I can't even tell the direction here......"
"Until then, what was the cause of this anomaly?" Ryunosuke asked Yard as he looked at the surroundings that could be called primeval forest.
"[Well, about this, it's easy to check, this era belongs to the 'history of the gods', and the gods still walk on the earth, so it's just a simple - uh,]" Yard's body gradually emitted a hazy golden light, but it stopped abruptly in the next moment: "[There are three goddesses who want to destroy Uruk. γβ
"This Ancient King can really cause trouble......" Ryunosuke complained.
"[They are, the goddess of demonic beasts 'Gorgon' in the northern part of the plains, the feathered serpent god 'Quezal Koyatel' in the jungles of the southern plains, and the goddess of Venus 'Ishtar' who occupies the sky and gems of Uruk, because the whereabouts of the goddesses cannot be discovered through tracing magic, so they can only see the situation of their respective territories. Yard said, projecting a bird's-eye view from a nearby tree trunk again.
In this day and age, there are no artificial satellites, and by what means is it monitored? Forget it, it doesn't matter, Ryunosuke gave up thinking for a moment and turned his gaze to those overlooking pictures.
The so-called two river basins refer to the plain between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers that flow from northwest to southeast adjacent to the Persian Gulf, and "Mesopotamia" means "sandwiched between two rivers".
According to normal climatology, there should be grasslands and a small part of the desert here, which are very suitable for life to reproduce, but ......
The map projected by Yard shows that the plain is surrounded by rainforest to the southeast and overlapping mountains to the northwest, sandwiching small plains and city-states in the middle.
Zooming in further and splitting the screen, you can see that there are countless strange-shaped nests in the mountains and mountains in the north, and a steady stream of strangely shaped monsters are hatching, and after gathering a certain number, they actively move towards the human city-states on the plains and launch attacks.
The situation in the southeast is more or less the same, but the rainforest does not show large-scale attacks, only scattered jungle beasts will roam towards the human city-state, and will hurriedly evacuate if they have suffered a lot.
As for the human city-state, it is not so much a city as a settlement between two great walls, both of which are oriented northeast and southwest, and at the end are connected two great rivers that block attacks from the southeast and northwest respectively, and the walls and the buildings within the walls are mostly mud structures, and the important defensive points are reinforced with stone, but only the temple and the royal palace are decorated with colored stones, gold, silver, precious stones, or fine cloth.
The behavior of the beasts and monsters is not yet visible, but the humans in the city-state are not in a depressed mood that is caught between two sides, and when the picture is enlarged again, you can see that although their faces are occasionally sad and confused, they are generally full of confidence.
The "camera" paused in the city for a moment and moved again, and just as it was about to shine on the palace, it disappeared.
How does this scene feel familiar?
"Your satellite has been shot down again?" Ryunosuke complained.
"[Where did the satellites come from in this era?] Yard said in a grinning tone, "[The probing magic was forcibly broken.] γβ
"It's obvious that the Ancient King invited us over, and he refused to speak to the same recon magicβhuh? Scouting [magic]? Ryunosuke looked at Yard in surprise.
"How obvious, although this function is very common in modern times, but in this era, it is magic, you can try it, many modern magic that has degenerated to magic, can exert its full power here. Yard spun in place.
That's why the more technology develops, the less magic wanes? But even if this condition is true, no one will have the opportunity to go back to the past and experiment.
"Anyway, let's get out of this jungle first-"
"Don't even think about leaving!"
Ryunosuke was in the middle of his sentence when suddenly an orange figure jumped down from a tree a little farther away and interrupted him with a loud shout.
"Uh...... Sister Tiger? Ryunosuke found that the person in front of him was simply Taiga Fujimura in a tiger puppet costume.
"What tiger? I'm JaguarMan! She raised her large spear-like paws: "The goddess wants to see you!" Come with me! β
