Chapter 262: One-on-One Duel
Ku Chulin, born Setanda, is the legendary child of light in Ireland and the greatest hero of all. Even in the Celtic heroes spectrum, he is a well-deserved protagonist.
His legend itself is less than a hundred years from the current legend of the Knight King, and the summoning location is very close to Ireland, where it originated.
The three core elements that usually affect the summoning of heroic power are: self-popularity, summoning location and time, and magical power.
In this way, it is not known that Ku Chulin may be able to maximize his strength close to his life!
"Our march along the way was so smooth that we drove straight into Saxon territory without even encountering the forces of resistance." Iskandar's voice was low, "In this way, the Saxon king should have abandoned all the people and concentrated all the resistance in the royal capital. ”
"It is precisely for this reason that the Saxon kings are protected by the forces of Cú Chulainn, and even Iskander and I are both unable to conquer it for a while." The maiden continued Iskandar's words, "Although we will occupy all the territories along the way, as long as the king does not fall, it will not be considered to have conquered the other country. ”
"I see, thank you." I nodded, "Let's get here today, and we'll have a meeting later to discuss the specific strategy." ”
——
At tonight's small round table, the atmosphere was a little depressing.
The overall success that can be achieved at the eye is in trouble because of the other party's unreasonable stubbornness.
As the ruler of a country, it is incumbent upon him to protect his people and defend his territory.
However, none of us thought that the Saxon king would be so ruthless that he would give up all his territory and population, all just to save his own life!
This kind of behavior is infuriating and at the same time, it is also helpless.
If the whole country is concentrated in one city, then any external siege method will be meaningless.
Because no matter how we cut in, we will have no choice but to fight the opposing main force head-on!
"Do you want to just besiege the other party's royal capital, wait for the other party's food and grass to run out, and break yourself?"
Bedwell first made a point.
There is nothing wrong with this idea in itself, but it is the most effective under normal circumstances.
However, the reality we are facing cannot be said to be "normal" in any way.
"No, if you drag it on, maybe the ordinary soldiers will break up, but that Cuchulainn is a summoned heroic spirit, and it doesn't need food and rest itself." Lancelot shook his head repeatedly, "Even if he is the only one in the entire king, we don't want to take it down." ”
"Well, that's one of them." Kai put his hands together on his chin and said, "Another point, our British sent troops to the Saxons this time, but with all the troops, Camelot is undoubtedly very empty inside. If you can't solve the problem quickly in a few days, it will lead to the enemy country taking advantage of the situation. The consequences ......"
Kai didn't say any more, just glanced at the blonde girl beside me with a strange look.
The meaning of this action is self-explanatory.
- Mordred seeks power and usurps the throne, and the history of Camelot's change of ownership on the occasion of the knight king's expedition to France is just yesterday!
"In other words, the key is Cúchulainn." Gilgamesh crossed his arms and said lazily, "As long as you can solve that guy, the rest will be easy." ”
"Hey Jin Shining, this matter is also clear." Iskandar said with some dissatisfaction, "But the guy said that he would only fight a duel with one person a day, and if he couldn't defeat him, he wouldn't be able to march." Do you think any of us can beat him alone? ”
"Wait, reality is reality, legends are legends. The other party proposed to go it alone, why do we have to do what he said? I couldn't help but wonder, "It's disgraceful to use a little trickery, but it would be nice to be able to win." ”
"Shirou, that's not going to work." The girl shook her head, "The Saxon royal city seems to have been blessed by the power of Ku Chulin's own heroic spirit, and when he fought according to the legendary scenario of the past, the world limited him to defeat him only in the way he recognized. That is, legends can only be defeated by legends. ”
"That is, tomorrow we are going to find a warrior strong enough to have a one-on-one duel with Ku Churin." Ios' lips pursed.
"I'll do it." The girl stood up and said coldly, "I fought with Ku Chulin in the Holy Grail War, and I know a little bit about his moves and abilities. ”
"No, my king, leave the battle tomorrow to me." Lancelot then stood up and said, "You are a symbol of Britain, and if you lose, our morale will inevitably be low." And it is best for the subordinates to win, even if the subordinates lose, there is this time to try first and get some additional information about Cúchulainn. It's not too late for you to fight. ”
"Hmm...... You have a point, too. The girl's eyes were a little hesitant, "But avoiding war like this violates the identity of a knight, and not to mention, it will also push you into danger......"
"Lord Emiya, please allow your subordinates to fight!"
Without hesitation, Lancelot turned his gaze to me and pleaded loudly.
"Understood, I agree."
After a little contemplation, I nodded in agreement.
"Shirou!"
"But you have to make sure that you come back in one piece." Raising my hand to stop the girl's anxious cry, I continued, "Genevae is still waiting for you at the Camelot, and I will not forgive you if you are injured or even killed." ”
"Don't worry, my king, Lord Weigong, who will be defeated tomorrow!" Lancelot pretended to laugh lightly, "After all, I am also the strongest Knight of the Round Table, with the martial arts taught by the Nymph of the Lake herself, and I have never been defeated in this life!" ”
Ios looked at Lancelot's confident face and opened his mouth but couldn't say anything......
——
After the meeting, Ios found me.
"Shirou, you must protect Lancelot tomorrow, or he will surely die!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Ios lowered his voice and said to me.
"Well, I guessed that Lancelot wouldn't be Ku Churin's opponent, but is the gap that big?"
I couldn't help but be surprised.
"Shirou, you don't know how terrifying Ku Churin's true strength is." Ios took a deep breath before continuing, "He is the only warrior in history who claims to have inherited all of Skaha's true legends and unique skills from Queen Skaha of the Shadow Realm. Coupled with the fact that he holds the magic spear personally awarded by Teacher Skaha, even if his strength is not as good as Teacher Skaha, it will definitely not be much worse! ”
