Chapter 381: The Holy Maiden of the Evil Dragon
Richard is using a resolute tone, declaring that there is no haze in his heart.
If you think about it, Richard's life was also lonely.
It is said that he once visited Britain, but was ruthlessly expelled by the populace.
Because he served the Holy See, and the Britons hated Rome deeply. At the beginning, Rome let Britain go unchecked, even the Saxons could not stand it.
And inside Rome, it is even more impossible for him to get an official position and really do something for the local people.
For he was British, like a barbarian to the Romans.
Therefore, his only option was to continue the war, taking on the glorious title of Great Pioneer of Rome and King of Britain, while being homeless and orphaned.
Until his death, he was not able to visit his hometown once.
But even so, Richard still didn't have any resentment against the world. Even if he gets a second chance, he only sincerely hopes that the world can become a bright and beautiful place.
From this point of view, one might call him a true knight.
It's just that because he wants to give too much, it becomes an eager conquest.
——
"Hehe, that's a nice thing to say, my getting such a good Heroic Spirit can be regarded as the last gift from God to me." Pope Leo couldn't help but laugh, "In order to control you, I have polluted all seven of your attendants. Otherwise, with their influence on you, they will certainly not make you willingly at my mercy. ”
"My loyal squires...... Is it your hand? ”
Richard's expression stiffened for a moment.
"Don't worry, it's just that the power of the Holy Grail has put them to sleep, and it has no effect on their own combat ability." Leo shrugged and said, "Historically, it seems that every time you are hot-headed, they will remind you and lead you to the right path, right?" Then let them be your loyal dogs, and only obey your orders. ”
"No wonder...... Carolst, who likes to quarrel with me the most on weekdays, has been very polite to me these days...... I thought he didn't adapt to the environment, I didn't think you did it......" Richard took a deep breath, his eyes became cold a little, "Damn, dare to bully my squire like this, I won't let you go!" ”
"Your Majesty, you must not be hot-headed again!" Seven servants also surrounded Richard, "Whatever the outcome of the conquest, it is bound to cause unimaginable destruction, and the people will suffer heavy casualties. You are an incomparably wise king, and you must not be a bully who does not care about the lives of the people! ”
"After this incident, I will get justice for you now!" Richard shook his head, his sharp gaze staring directly at Pope Leo on the wall.
These seven servants have been with Richard for many years, and they have long been close friends rather than master servants, and Richard is protecting his friends in the most authentic way.
"Tsk, poor Richard, have you used all your simple mind to fight?" Leo looked at him condescendingly with an almost pitying look, "If I don't have absolute certainty, how can I tell you what I have been planning and discarding?" ”
"You, like them, are just my outcasts!"
As he spoke, Leo's arm was raised in the air and he swung forward.
"O Holy Maiden of the Evil Dragon, show the world your power!"
Hmmm-
With his actions, a huge black shadow also flew up from behind the city wall!
Then, the shadow fell swiftly towards the ground we were, apparently intending to crush everyone underneath.
"Shirou be careful!"
Artoria grabbed me by the collar and jumped backwards with me in a split second.
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
All the heroic spirits, including Richard, also retreated one after another.
Bang!
The next moment, the black shadow fell heavily and made a loud noise.
- Rubble flies, sand and dust are everywhere.
The dust and haze gradually dispersed, and the scene was also displayed in the eyes of everyone.
It was a gigantic dragon, its pitch-black body covered in sturdy scales, and its sharp claws seemed to tear through the strongest gates.
Roar, roar, roar!
As it landed, it let out a demonstrative roar.
"How could it be...... Outside of Britain, there are dragons......"
Lancelot looked at the scene in front of him, almost in disbelief.
"No, if you look closely at the person on the dragon's back, that's the real tough opponent."
Artoria shook her head slowly, her turquoise eyes full of caution.
Yes, the dragon seemed to be riding a slender figure, which looked very disproportionate.
"Actually...... Even dragons can be tamed, so what is sacred? ”
Nero also muttered, with admiration in his voice.
"Fafnir, stay here, I'll come when I go."
The man on the dragon's back, a cold voice came.
"Roaring ......"
The evil dragon, which looked extremely vicious, was extremely tame and lay down, lowering its height so that the man could come down.
"Why...... The sound has a familiar feel? ”
Joan of Arc frowned slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Hmmm-
With a beautiful leap, the man leaped off the dragon's back skillfully and with great skill.
Foot, foot, foot.
The crisp heel sound is from far to near, and the other party's figure is getting closer and closer.
Judging only from the blurry appearance covered by dust, it seems that the other party is wearing a pitch-black armor, and his figure is very graceful and slender.
"You can't be wrong...... It was the sound of high heels, and the inference of the figure was that it should be a woman. ”
In the silence, Lancelot suddenly said this.
"Forehead ......"
We looked at him speechlessly.
"How...... What's the matter, I've seen a lot of women, so you don't look at me like that......"
At the same time, being watched by so many of us, Lancelot was embarrassed to reach out and cover his face.
"Well, I'll tell Guinevere about your situation."
Artoria nodded, looking like she had made up her mind.
"Your Majesty! Please don't! ”
——
Soon, the "Dragon Knight" also came to a position only 20 meters away from us and stopped.
Black armor, black cape, black boots...... It seems to be shrouded in an extremely ominous black fog.
And the other party has a pitch-black mask on his face, so he can't see his face clearly at all. It's just that the silver-white hair is very eye-catching, and it is also the only bright color in the body.
“……”
The two sides confronted each other without saying a word.
"Who are you? Could it be that he is also an accomplice of the bastard Pope? ”
Nero asked, holding the sword in his hand vigilantly.
"Hehe......"
A soft laugh came from behind the mask.
A long, white hand stretched out and gently removed the mask from his face.
"You ——!"
The other party's face showed for a moment, and we were all taken aback.
That's Joan of Arc, the exact same face!
