In fact, Artoria now stands at the highest point of the palace.

Although she was still dressed as a maid, her gaze seemed to have returned to the cold and cold she had at the beginning.

She felt it, the final countdown.

When the giant tortoise stops, the irresistible force will destroy everything, and Shen He's efforts these days will eventually come to naught.

And before she does, sacrifice enough people, even herself and the Knights of the Round Table, to transfer the entire remnant kingdom to the space gap.

This is Artoria's mission to come into this world.

"King." Tristan appeared behind her, "The people of Chaldea have left. ”

"I see." Very short reply.

There was no trace of emotion, and there was no question of where the Philosopher's Stone was.

But Artoria's heart is not as calm as it seems.

In the end, no matter how fate changes, as long as she is still alone, will she always usher in the same end?

That's it......

The Knight King's gaze was fixed on the sunset obscured by the giant tortoise, waiting for the final moment to come.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

The tortoise stopped, Artoria raised her sword, and Tristan and all the shadow knights stood straight, ready to follow their king to the final step.

However.

Ten minutes later......

The giant tortoise began to move again.

"King."

Tristan looked at Artoria, who maintained a sword-raising posture, and the sadness in his eyes was inexplicably suppressed for a moment.

"It seems...... It's not time yet. ”

Artoria's white jade-like skin had a faint layer of crimson.

But he could only honestly put down his sword.

The speed of the giant tortoise's progress slowly accelerated, and the heavy sense of crisis disappeared for the time being.

Only when the giant tortoise stopped to rest, or changed his mind temporarily...... bar.

If Artoria's eyesight were better, she might be able to see Shen He and Qi Mu Kusuo standing on the top of the giant **.

Shen He couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead.

He was standing on the head of the giant tortoise at the moment, as if he was standing on a flat platform, and when he came into close contact, he was even more shocked than looking at it from a distance, and the scales under his feet alone were almost more than ten square meters in size.

Such a giant beast doesn't know how it grows, and it can only be controlled by completely consuming the entire Sage's Stone.

Now the Holy Grail obtained from the Forbidden World has returned to its bleak appearance.

"Continue to advance towards the imperial capital." After leaving such an order, Shen He returned to Marvel.

The next day.

The time has finally come for the urban barrier system to be activated.

The Ark Energy Center was located beneath the Imperial Palace, along the underground water system of the Imperial Capital, extending to a distance of three times the radius of the circular enclosure, divided into two levels.

Almost the entire courtiers in the imperial capital gathered in this underground space that only took three days to build.

Shen He observed and found that most of them were officials who had defected from the empire to the revolutionary army.

In the end, these people were able to adapt to the new order.

"Shen He." Artoria had some anticipation in her eyes, "Aren't you okay?" ”

"The final calibration is being performed." Shen He explained, "It's probably going to be about an hour." ”

"It took so long." Artoria frowned and handed her hand to Shen He, "Bring it." ”

"What?" Shen He was stunned.

"Fried potato chips and carbonated drinks, don't say you're not ready."

“......”

Shen He looked at the serious Artoria speechlessly, and still honestly took out the potato chips and Coke.

She just clicked and ate like no one else.

Unlike the white silly hair who likes delicious food, the black king in the blackened state enjoys junk food more, and even the food made by Erina Nagikiri can't move her, but she has a great love for potato chips and cola.

But it hasn't changed much in terms of the big stomach.

And the black king after getting acquainted with it is really cute.

"When the barrier is activated, it will almost give the people of the imperial capital a place to live." Shen He asked tentatively, "When the time comes, even if I win the oath." ”

"Hmm."

Artoria just answered, still munching on the chips.

"Can you think about what I said earlier?" Shen He simply got straight to the point, "I want to be your master." ”

Artoria's hand grasping the chips paused.

Then he pretended to be casual and drank a big sip of Coke.

"Don't you want a reply?"

Shen He moved a few steps and stood directly in front of her.

During this period of contact, he was familiar with the character of this black king.

Although it looks cold, stern, and stubborn, after you really get acquainted with her, you will see her cute side, for example, now, obviously her face is flushed, and she still forcibly puts on a cold appearance not to talk to me.

Shen He didn't speak anymore, just stared into her eyes.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes.

"Crisis, the crisis is far from over." Artoria finally couldn't help but look away, "At the very least, we must defeat the world-destroying beast, and ...... Of course, I will also help as much as I can. ”

"And what about after complete victory?" Shen He pursued unrelentingly.

"......" Artoria was silent for a while, but stared at Shen He again, "If you can really do it, then the rest, just talk to her." ”

She......

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen He's eyes.

Of course, he knew who "she" Artoria was referring to, and he had already come to the conclusion that the black king in front of him was one with the white dumb hair king.

They share memories, the difference is only in the concept, originally the black king is the white dumb hair king because of his dissatisfaction with himself, and buried in the heart of the "ideal king" state.

This surprise was captured by Artoria.

She lowered her gaze slightly.

Still gulping and playing with potato chips stuffed in his mouth.

Shen He then talked about a lot of topics, such as some interesting places in modern society, but Artoria only replied occasionally, and seemed not to be very interested.

Finally, Tony completed the final checks.

"Xiaolan, open all the barriers in all directions!" Shen He raised his voice and gave an order that made everyone nervous.

"Confirm clearance, sir."

After Xiaolan replied, starting from the periphery of the imperial capital, invisible barriers quickly spread and connected together, completely enveloping the entire imperial capital and the large battlefield.

The scrambled dangerous species slammed into the barrier, struggling to reach in, only to be cut mercilessly, leaving a burning incision.

Only a very small part of the barrier can be broken through by the hard shell.

But this has drastically reduced the pressure on the military.

Thereupon.

The deafening cheers began.

There was no need to even give an order, and all the soldiers rushed excitedly, frantically slashing the dangerous species that remained within the barrier.

Seven days of fighting, seemingly never-ending despair, were vented in hysteria at this moment.

It's not just the soldiers who are excited.

Including the people in the imperial capital, the brutal nobles have been beheaded, and now even the danger of riots has been successfully stopped, a new order has been built, and the joy of the rest of the life after the catastrophe and the yearning for the future fill everyone's hearts.

This kind of carnival picture is transmitted to the side of Shen River through the virtual screen.

The ministers were equally excited.

"It worked."

"That's great!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you should immediately appease the people, remove dangerous species, and organize the repair of damaged walls and buildings."

Most of the courtiers still looked at the little emperor, but the little emperor looked at Artoria a little timidly.

"What are you looking at me for?" Artoria scolded, "Your prime minister is Lan. ”

"Yes." The little emperor shrank his neck in fright.

Apparently it was Artoria who left a deep psychological shadow.

"Tsk." Shen He smacked his tongue, "If you were to discipline Mordred, she would definitely not be rebellious." ”

"......," Artoria turned her head to look at Shen He, "this is also one of her grievances against herself. ”

"Yes, yes." Shen He suddenly felt that her eyes were a little too serious.

"Although I'm in the opposite state of her, but,Because of this,The only one who knows her best is me.,That guy has senseless self-esteem.,Strong personality and don't know how to rely on others.,It's like a girl who doesn't know anything about romance......."

Artoria seemed to open the conversation box all of a sudden, and began to talk to Shen He about the Dumb Hair King, although most of them were in a sloppy tone, but Shen He's face became a little more and more strange.

How it looks and feels like teaching someone else how to attack herself.

However, these are important points, and you should write them down in a small notebook.

With the unfolding of the city barrier, the imperial capital was finally able to calm down for a moment in the continuous battle, but the entire imperial capital was still filled with thick blood, as well as the dangerous species that continued to gather outside the barrier, as well as the approaching behemoths, as if to remind everyone that the crisis had not yet been resolved.

However, the rest of the things have little to do with ordinary people.

Tony's theory had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time, and everyone believed that it was the inevitable fate of the Chaldeans to solve the beast.

The day after the city barrier was erected.

The approaching giant tortoise finally blocked the rising sun of the entire imperial capital.

This is a towering mountain peak standing in front of the imperial capital, and when it approaches, all the dangerous species, including some super dangerous species, are scattered in a hurry, and only a few flying species can still linger in the air.

Artoria sat in the palace all night, and only when Shen He's figure appeared, did she slowly stand up.

"The final battle has begun."

"yes, yes." Shen He held back a smile solemnly, "Are you going to go with me?" ”

"I'm not pedantic." Artoria had already changed into a battle armor, "Since you have shown me a miracle, then I will naturally have to do my best, and hold hope in our hands, but ...... How sure are you? ”
