"I see, as the reciter said, it may be a conspiracy of the Temple." Hearing this, Nero's face also changed slightly, "Since the performer had a grudge with them before, Yu naturally would not refuse Qing's desire to solve them with his own hands." ”

"Nero, it's good that you can understand."

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not easy for Nero to be able to listen to what I'm saying.

Either way, it's better than going into danger alone.

"Joan of Arc, are there any other Heroes in Rome right now?" I turned to Joan of Arc and said, "Are you sure it's just the Lionheart?" ”

“…… So far, I've only detected the reaction of one of his Heroic Spirits. Joan of Arc nodded affirmatively, "His Noble Phantasm isn't an Iskandar type of group, so it's basically a one-man fight. ”

"What is his treasure?" Artoria walked up and asked.

"Knight King, King Lionheart admired you very much during his lifetime and worshipped you as his great ancestor, do you know this?"

Joan of Arc looked at her and chuckled softly.

"yes, I know." The girl nodded slowly, "You mean, his treasure has something to do with me?" ”

"Yes, it's related to your Sword of Victory of Oath, but it's not the same." Joan of Arc nodded, "I'm sorry, forgive me for saying so much from the position of the adjudicator, and the world will not allow it to continue." ”

"It's okay, I can understand that." The girl nodded disapprehantly, "I should express my gratitude to you, if it weren't for your efforts, I'm afraid we still don't know anything about the situation in Rome." I apologize deeply for my unwarranted hostility towards you, and I hope you will not think of me because of this. ”

"Where, your nobility and loyalty have always been admirable, and even now I admire them deeply." Joan of Arc shook her head.

The two women clasped hands together and smiled at each other.

"Hey, hey, don't ignore Yu! Yu also provided magic in this process, and the role is also indispensable, okay? ”

At this moment, Nero waved at us and shouted.

"Well, indispensable, thanks to Nero's help."

I touched Nero's head with tears and laughter.

Why does it always feel like I'm coaxing a child......

"Uh-huh...... The performers are the best, don't forget the aftermath......"

——

After discussion at the roundtable, we finally decided to concentrate all our forces on the general offensive while the Lionheart was still on hold.

Although the prestige of the Crusaders is very prominent in history, the British army was trained by Artoria herself, and in terms of cohesion and combat effectiveness, it will definitely not lose to them. What's more, the so-called "crusaders" of the Lionheart are still cobbled together from the original Roman legions. After seeing Nero return with their own eyes, they may not be able to retain the combat effectiveness they deserve.

And the number of Heroic Spirits, our side has an overwhelming advantage.

No matter how powerful the Lionheart King is, he is the only one who is.

And on our side, just the three Artoria, Nero, and Joan of Arc who accompany me every day, each of them has a real Heroic Spirit-level strength. There are also Dilumudo and others in reserve.

Not to mention, the ace Merlin we have.

So no matter how you look at it, we are in a position to win.

"Come on, everyone, win this battle, and we will be united with Rome forever and prosper together!"

As the army was reorganized, Artoria shouted to all the soldiers at the front.

"Long live my king!"

The British army cheered and began to march against the Roman Empire, or to be precise, Richard I, the Lionheart!

——

"Iskander, do you have something to say to me?"

I deliberately slowed down and landed at the back of the line and asked Iskandar, who was also standing there.

At the round table, I thought he would be the first to approve of an attack on the city of Rome, but he rarely fell silent and did not say a word the whole time.

After the meeting, he kept glancing at me and asked me to come back to see him.

"Well, boy, there are some things that can only be said to you in private, alone." Iskandar looked around cautiously to make sure no one was watching before lowering his voice and saying to me, "Don't tell anyone else. ”

“…… You name it, I can guarantee it. ”

Pursing my lips, I nodded slightly.

"In this attack on Rome, you must protect the Knight King." Iskandar said to me with a solemn face, "Don't let her be hurt in any way, understand?" ”

"I know this, I have always been guarding the people around me, whether it is Artoria, Joan of Arc, Nero, ......"

"That's different!" Iskander didn't wait for me to finish, he interrupted with a rough wave of his hand, "The Holy Maiden and the Emperor Maiden will be fine, or the success or failure of this battle will not implicate the two of them." That Lionheart...... The purpose of his present life is definitely not to occupy the city of Rome! ”

"What does this mean——?" I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Richard I descended directly on the city of Rome and snatched the throne that belonged to Nero, and the cause and effect of all this should be understood.

"Boy, think about it, a person who has spent most of his life in battle, and even risked his life to practice his inner choice, will he be a person with a strong desire for power?" Iskandar pressed my shoulder, "Besides, if he really wants the throne, why didn't he directly appear in Britain to get the power of the land, but instead appeared in Rome at the expense of the near and far?" ”

"What do you mean...... Are we designed? "My heart sank," he deliberately led us through. ”

"I'm just afraid...... He knew that Rome intended to make friends with Britain, so he deliberately chose this time to appear. Because he calculated that once Rome was in trouble, the knight king would inevitably personally lead troops to help show his sincerity. Therefore, his real purpose should be to come to the Knight King! ”

"For Artoria? According to your analysis, this is indeed possible. I frowned and pondered, "But, what does he want from Artoria?" ”

"This is exactly the question that Yu Bai can't figure out, and Yu doesn't understand what he is pursuing all his life." Iskandar lamented, "Yu's principle of action is very simple, just for the desire of the heart; The principle of action of the Knight King is simpler, she is for you. But that guy is said to have had no children in his life, nor has he been fanatical about expanding his territory. He is simply fighting, fighting, and fighting! Fighting for the sake of conquest, as if the beginning and end of everything are conquest! ”

"So, you can't see through him." I said after a moment of silence.

"Yes, Yu can't see through it." Iskandar frankly admitted, "But it won't affect one thing anyway, that is, this guy is very dangerous, you must be careful of him when you go to the battlefield, and you must protect the Knight King." ”
