Chapter 256: The Great Scuffle
The battle came a little faster than Shen He had imagined.
The tentacles were also a little more disgusting than Shen He imagined.
This is not a two-dimensional picture in the animation, the tentacle monster that appeared in front of everyone was covered with dark black blood clots and viscous brown liquid, like a moldy piece of meat that had been placed in a damp corner, and the pungent smell continued to come as the meat strips approached.
I feel like if I touch this thing, I won't be able to wash it for the rest of my life.
"Joan of Arc, is it okay?" Shen He's body was already dressed in evil spirits.
"Well, please leave it to me."
Joan of Arc waved her spear and heroically rushed towards the disgusting tentacles, she was originally a ruler with super perception, and Jill's location couldn't hide her perception at all.
"Then ......" Shen He stopped Artoria who was preparing to fight together, "there should be a servant approaching soon, you stay here, and NCER will be handed over to you to deal with." ”
“Lancer?”
Artoria remembered the servant who had the ability to charm women, looked at the others around her, and nodded.
She only became Shen He because she would not be affected by the charm.
"Estes." Shen He looked at Estes who was already eager to try, "The little monster here will be handed over to you, it should take a while......"
Boom ——!
A loud roar and a continuous crackle in the air interrupted Shen He's words.
With the action of Estes pulling out his sword, the huge icicles shattered the earth, freezing all the tentacles in an instant, and the cold breath gradually dispersed.
"What's next, where is the prey?" Estes asked, holding the sword flower.
"......" Shen He swallowed the words back in his mouth.
These tentacle monsters that can be restored even if they are split should be more difficult, but in front of Estes, they can be regarded as encountering a nemesis.
And look at her dissatisfied......
At this time, lightning and thunder appeared in the sky not far away.
Shen He's eyes lit up.
"Estes, that man is your enemy." Shen He pointed to the King of Conquest who had landed on the ground.
"Oh?"
Estes' eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.
During this time, except for going to the dungeon world to hunt a large number of monsters, she failed to meet a single interesting prey.
Shen He mourned for the emperor for three seconds.
The figure jumped and chased after Joan of Arc.
At the same time, on a high-rise building not far away, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already been squatting here, was observing the situation below through the magnifier on the sniper rifle.
What a scary magic.
He could clearly see how easily the woman with the azure hair could unleash that powerful magic.
And still haven't been able to find the corresponding magic circuit from any known demon family.
Besides......
He shifts the camera to his wife, and from the standpoint, Alice Fell is in a safe position that is closely guarded, and even Tristan is kept away from her as a vigilant person.
There is no chance.
Even Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but be surrounded by despair in his heart, but he still didn't give up, he was looking for that glimmer of hope.
As for the church's bounty for casters, this is not the time to think lightly about that kind of superfluous thing.
And at this time in the picture.
Estes has stepped on icicles and stood in front of the King of Conquest.
"What a pure fighting spirit."
The bright red pupils of the King of Conquest stared at the woman in front of him, and let out a heartfelt admiration.
"You're not bad either." Estes looked at the King of Conquest with a satisfied expression, "Wailing prey can be fun, but it will end too quickly. ”
"It's too rude to see this king as a prey." The King of Conquest glanced at the iced tentacles around him, and touched the back of his head with an honest face, "Although my original intention was to help, but since the boring opponent has been solved, then, the little girl in front of you, be careful, once the king's road of conquest is opened, even if it is a woman or a child, there are only two ways to choose from surrender or defeat." ”
"Only the weak need to choose, let's wait until we defeat me."
Estes raised his sword, and a large number of ice picks that were more than human height appeared, stabbing towards the King of Conquest with a biting cold and a violent sound of breaking through the air.
Lightning.
This blow, which had no dead ends, was dodged in an instant by the vanquished king in his chariot.
All the icicles mercilessly left traces on the ground as if they had been bombarded by mines.
"Oh, what a great power, Webb, stay in the car." The conquering king's aura was already high, and he smiled majestically and drew the sword at his waist.
"Assemble, my compatriots! Today, our heroic posture will conquer the earth once again! ”
as if answering the king's call.
The boiling heat surged out of thin air, and the warriors who had followed the conquering king to gallop across time and space, recreating the former battlefield in the world, it was a magnificent yellow sand land, and at a glance, you could only see the skyline of the sky and the earth.
This is the treasure of the conquering king, the power of the king's army.
In this huge barrier formed almost instantly, a huge army lined up stepped out step by step in the yellow sand.
Those are all soldiers who have forged bonds with the conquering king in history and created brilliant achievements together, each of them is a genuine heroic spirit, there are tens of thousands of people, in addition to the inability to use the treasure, many of them even have more power than the conquering king.
“rider。” This was the first time Weber had seen his servant's Noble Phantasm, and he was slumped and trembling on the chariot under the impact of that magnificent momentum, "Yes, is it necessary to use the Noble Phantasm?" The other party is not a servant, just a magician. ”
"What stupid are you talking about?" The king of conquest flicked Weber's forehead helplessly, "Although this king is a king, his personal strength is not very prominent, and this girl is ...... There is no doubt that it is a more powerful existence than the heroic spirit of this king. ”
As the king of conquest said.
Seeing such a large army, Estes's face was not the slightest fear, but was filled with the excitement of receiving a gift.
"How could it be! Stronger than rider you! Webb's face turned a little pale, "So, will you die, rider?" ”
"Perhaps."
The King of Conquest did not deny this possibility, for he undoubtedly felt the threat of death from the other party.
But—
"Warriors!" Once again, the King of Conquest raised his sword, "The enemy is a battle-hardened warrior, but our domineering is enough to calm everything!" Because conquest has become our instinct! Obey the king's orders and charge! ”
"Charge! Charge! Charge!! ”
The long trumpet sounded, accompanied by a deafening shout, and the army rolled up the yellow sand like a vast smoke.
And Estes, who stood alone in front of this army, had no fear.
"That's how the battle should be!" Estes had a happy smile on his face, "Alien King, show your strength to the fullest!" If you can't defeat me, no matter how magnificent your momentum is, it's just the groans of the weak, let me see how many strong people there are among you—General Binglan! ”
Accompanied by the landing of the voice.
The azure light quickly bloomed behind Estes, and after the light faded, a massive number of crystal ice knights appeared.
The second of Estes's tricks, although these are just lifeless puppets, but with the blessing of the emperor, every ice knight has far more combat power than ordinary people.
There was no neighing of horses' hooves.
There was also no morale-boosting trumpet.
On one side is the blood-boiling army, and on the other side is the cold machine.
This is no longer a battle of two people, but a huge battlefield that can be called a meat grinder.
Whether it is the King of Conquest or Estes, they all began to fight to their heart's content in this huge battlefield.
......
And at this time, the outside of the enchantment.
No one appreciated the battlefield in the enchantment, and in everyone's sight, Estes and Rider all disappeared, leaving only the surging magic in the calm space.
But just as everyone was vigilant, the breath of a servant and an undisguised battle intent suddenly appeared in the distance of the city.
It's Lancer!
Artoria directly determined that this breath was still in a fixed place, as it was on that day, and provoked everyone.
"That's your opponent." Saiki's figure appeared beside Artoria.
"Yes!" Artoria nodded, clenching the invisible sword in her hand, "I will return victorious." ”
Even if it really can't save the kingdom.
Nor can he live up to the countless soldiers who follow him to the battlefield in pursuit of glory.
Victory always belongs to the knights!
Artoria strode towards Lancer's direction.
Guarding Kiritsugu, who was paying close attention to the Chaldean side, naturally saw this scene, and just by thinking about it, he could understand the purpose of Lord Lancer.
The Lancer side, who almost lost his servant in the first battle, may not be able to detect and obtain information about the events that happened in the following day, and the reason why the ncer provoked so far away should be that the conceited genius magician should just want to lure the Chaldean side away and solve it alone, or capture the remaining people.
It's just that......
For this hypothesis to be true, two more requirements need to be met.
Emiya Kiritsugu squinted slightly.
He relaxed the tense muscles in his arm a little to allow his brain to think more sharply.
First of all, someone has to tell Lancer's master that the master who seriously injured Lancer with one blow is no longer here, and secondly, at this time, in the Chaldean camp, in addition to King Arthur's servant, there is also a servant's breath, that is, his own saber, Tristan.
No matter how conceited that genius magician is, he would not be stupid enough to think that he can fight against the Servant.
Unless......
His heart raced suddenly, and after realizing one of the possible situations, that feeling of extreme danger covered Emiya Kiritsugu's whole body.
There is no need to question or think anymore.
Because life and death are in this moment.
Emiya Kiritsugu directly dropped the precious sniper rifle in his hand, and pulled out the pistol on his waist as his body rolled towards the corner of the wall, and then, the originally silent door exploded, and the tongue of fire instantly swallowed the entire space with a heat wave, shattering all the glass in this room.
The screams of the noisy crowd rang out instantly, but Emiya Kiritsugu didn't have time to pay attention to them.
Because in the flame-covered passageway, a tall figure wearing a strange mask, unusually thin, like a ghost, stood silently.
assassin。
Even if it's just an existence that can be called a doppelganger, the weakest of all the servants is a heroic spirit after all.
I see......
Emiya Kiritsugu has figured it all out, and the Assassin's Master has known that he is Tristan's Master, and has cooperated with Lancer's Master.
The goal is to lure Tristan away from Alice Phil.
But he didn't have a choice.
A spell on the back of his hand bloomed, and in the next moment, Tristan crossed the space under the power of the spell and came directly in front of Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Kill the Assassin!" Even the always calm Emiya Kiritsugu had a killing intent in his words at this time.
Summoning Tristan to his side is tantamount to giving up all hope of saving Alice Phil and entrusting his wife's life to the mercy of the enemy.
"Yes, Master."
With a sad expression, Tristan gently slid Geum-hyun.
Another battle broke out.
In the vicinity of this battlefield, the crowd was already in a panic.
Tosaka Tokitomi, who was supposed to be a participant in the battle, now had to work with the overseers of the church and the magicians sent by the church to arrange a large barrier to wrap the entire battlefield as much as possible, and at the same time disperse the crowd with all his might.
Keeping the secrets of magic out of ordinary people's lives is Tosaka's duty as a magician.
But the scale of this Holy Grail War, since the strong intervention of the Chaldeans, has completely exceeded the initial expectations, and what's worse is that at this time, he can't contact Yan Fengqili, who should be obedient to him, and he can't get any more information from the assassin, and Shen He's warning seems to have been confirmed with certainty.
And his own servant.
Tosaka Tokitomi looked up at the sky, and the hero King Gilgamesh was standing on the huge flying treasure Vimana, leisurely drinking fine wine, happily looking down at the fierce battles in several places below.
It's like watching a circus show.
Remembering the picture of kneeling in front of Gilgamesh and pleading, only to receive a domineering refusal, Tosaka understands that he has completely broken with the Hero King.
The three spells in his hand are his only remaining hole cards.
"Mr. Tosaka."
Just as Tosaka was pondering how to use the spell, a magician sent by the church to assist hurried in.
"The battle aura of the two servants appeared in the church, and the magic surge was abnormally accumulated, and the Overseer was still trapped there!"
"Church!?" Tosaka was taken aback.
In a normal Holy Grail War, there would never be a Servant who would choose to fight at the address of the Church that is a safe house.
As the overseer, Yan Fengli is in his hands, but there are dozens of spells left over from the previous Holy Grail Wars, even if there is no contract servant can order, as a reward, it is enough to attract most of the masters.
"Let's go!" Tosaka Toshitomi quickly made a decision.
He didn't have a choice, Yan Fengli was a friend of the Tosaka family, and he was his helper in this Holy Grail War, even if he was a magician, he couldn't sit idly by and ignore the crisis of the church.
At this time, the two servants who were fighting in the church were none other than Lancer and Artoria, who had arrived with an obedient breath.
"I thought you were a warrior who valued chivalry and morality." Artoria frowned and looked at Diarmuid, who was aiming the tip of his gun at the old priest, "Is it also a despicable person who holds the weak and the weak hostage?" ”
“......”
Diarmuid did not speak.
But his hand holding the spear was already bruised.
If someone attacks him, kill the Overseer, Ryōmasa, which is exactly what his master, Kenneth, has ordered him to do with a spell.
The purpose and intent couldn't be more obvious, this is to drag down any servants who come because of the breath.
Ordinary servants and masters care about the identity of the Overseer, and if they can save the Overseer, it will be easy to obtain one or two extra spells.
