Chapter 207: The Truth About Hepu Town
Since being injured in the battle the next day, the Tianwen team has stopped for a while and waited for Xiao Yan and Lily to recover.
The temporary loss of the shield made Xiao Yan's defensive ability very discounted, and he didn't dare to be as abrupt as before. For the next two days, the battle was dominated by Gohe and Galadia, who followed the army to shoot from a distance.
Since Xiao Yan himself did not have much mana, the magic power provided to the emperor was also limited, which seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the emperor and weakened Xiao Yan's own strength at the same time.
It is ideal to be a master or an intellectual contractor with high mana.
Fortunately, Ajax was later invited to fight, and this fierce hero, as a madman, maintained full rationality, and even fought Montezuma to repel him. The coalition forces of the Federation took advantage of the victory and repelled the Secret Law Society for nearly a hundred kilometers.
"The position of the Flame Chalice has not changed." In the Federation's headquarters, the contractors of each team listened to the briefing with their Heroic Spirits, "It is impossible for the Headmasters and the Ministry of Magic to lock down the location of the Holy Grail. Maintaining the current offensive posture, we will only be able to approach the front of the Arcane Order's camp in two days. ”
"After a few days of adapting to the war, His Majesty's puppet warriors of Ramses are becoming more and more fit for the current operation." Tyberion took a sip of tea and said with satisfaction, "Although the movement speed has been further weakened, the enhanced survivability and observation power have greatly increased the combat efficiency when intercepting the opponent's cockroaches and royal beasts. So far, our side is going well, but we don't know what the Secret Law Society is up to. Their Heroic Spirits are not fighting us with all their might. ”
"yes, that's suspicious. Is there any other plan being laid out while containing us with the current forces? Madame Maxim asked the other wizards, "Did the Scout find anything nearby?" Are there any special mana fluctuations? I suspect that the Holy Grail of Fire is a trap that draws us to the past. ”
……
As the meeting continued, the federation intensified its investigations and slowed down the pace of its advance.
"Griffith, what do you think?" The Emperor followed the Tianwen team out of the Battle Conference Hall.
"There are a few conjectures." Xiao Yan cupped his chin and thought for a moment, "That white-robed mage is obviously a completely different person from Tyberion, and may have a different understanding of the holy weapon of the Flame Grail. ”
"The Holy Grail is called a Hallows because of its ability to reach the origin of magic." The master tapped his fingers on the table, "The so-called magic is nothing more than an unexplained science, another unknown way of using energy. But energy is not generated in a vacuum, the Holy Grail is just a container that carries energy, and it needs sufficient energy to start like the engine of a car. ”
Galadia glanced at the two of them and asked thoughtfully, "Can the energy used by the Holy Grail be replaced by something other than the Heroic Spirit?" ”
"The spirits that make up the Heroic Spirits themselves have abundant energy in order to maintain their actions and fight, and when they are annihilated, they only shatter the combination of the spirit children, and the energy itself does not disappear. The annihilated Heroic Spirit returns to the Spirit Child state to recharge the Holy Grail, hmph, this king doesn't think this is a very effective way to recharge. I guess I want to take into account the ritual of the magic world while charging energy. If there's a more efficient source of energy, it's a good idea to recharge the Holy Grail ahead of time. The Emperor stared at Xiao Yan, "Abundant electricity, kinetic energy, and even human souls can do." ”
Xiao Yan's heart was shocked, and he found that the emperor was looking at him.
"Soul!?"
"Exactly. Many Heroic Spirits can recharge themselves by devouring flesh and souls to increase their combat power, so you can understand it. The nature of the Holy Grail is similar. If the white-robed mage was thinking of some other way to recharge the Holy Grail, it wouldn't be surprising to the king. The Imperial One stood up and walked to the window, "You remember the conditions he made at the peace banquet. In exchange for the Holy Grail, the federation was to recognize their control of the Middle East. ”
"It's them!"
"As long as you have enough control over the secular world, you can obtain energy comparable to 7 Heroic Spirits, and you can maintain it for a long time. Most of them realized that the battle for the Holy Grail was not in this barren desert. ”
As he spoke, Ika stumbled into the tent: "Everyone, watch TV!" ”
Against the backdrop of a smoky fire, a frightened journalist is recounting the situation: "This is Cairo, the capital of Egypt, where the months-long food crisis has finally erupted, and angry people have poured into the streets to demand that the Baath government hand over power to the Crescent Brotherhood." A rebel force of more than 10,000 men has stormed the city of Cairo and is now flanking the capital's garrison with its citizens. ”
Large groups of people armed with rifles and torches began to lay siege to government-guarded government buildings and shops, and helicopter footage showed that the entire city was shrouded in artillery fire and anti-inflammatory.
After changing several stations in a row, Xiao Yan found that not only Cairo, but also the entire major cities in the Middle East were caught in the flames of war. Damascus and Baghdad were also under heavy fire, and an armed force calling itself the Crescent Brotherhood began to attack in all directions.
"Look." The Goto pouted, "It's like this." The people of the Secret Festival are really generous, and it seems that they are about to enter the secular world of Muggles completely. ”
"All Heroic Spirits and Masters, please go to the command room as soon as possible." From Madame Maxim's voice came, "We are in big trouble. ”
……
On the Euphrates River, far from the battlefield, a lavishly decorated golden boat ripples in the blue waters.
The boat does not need to be piloted by humans, and can go anywhere according to the owner's wishes. In the highest room of the ship, an ornate tabernacle conceals a room decorated with diamonds and gold. Bursts of water mist with an intoxicating aroma surround it.
The mist lifted a little, and a woman's face could be faintly seen, and any man would be stunned and amazed by the beauty of this beauty. It was a perfectly delicate and bewitching face. Even though her face was now full of shame and indulgence, that high elegance and temperament were still clearly recognizable, and it was clearly integrated into her temperament.
Such a queen-like noble temperament would not have been cultivated if it were not for many years of power and standing above all the people. It also stimulates men's desire to conquer more.
Her long, black and silky hair fell down to the foot of the bed, allowing one to imagine her usual elegance and nobility.
The thin red lips moaned incessantly. The woman knelt on the bed in great shame, swinging back and forth involuntarily, two snow-white balls in front of her trembling violently, and two bright red dots swayed back and forth like cherries on the snow.
A slender jade arm stretched out earlier, and the beautiful woman seemed to want to flee forward. Suddenly, two thick arms grabbed her slender waist and dragged her backwards.
With a burst of high, confused moans and gasps, the movement on the ship gradually subsided.
The beautiful woman lay on the bed, motionless as if unconscious, her snow-white delicate body was covered with fragrant sweat, and there were traces of love everywhere.
A tall, muscular man as strong as a god walked naked to the window, held up a golden flask, and drank bitterly.
Bright red elixir flowed down his burly pectoral muscles, and he walked to the side of the bed, caressing the stunner's delicate skin.
"Hercules, my hero. Let me rest for a moment. The woman's sexy lips murmured.
"I have to go, my companions are calling me. My heart can feel the rumbling drums of war calling me! ”
"Wait a little longer, my warrior. Why would a godlike hero like you be willing to shed his blood for nothing for those scheming mages? ”
"They...... They have called me, and it is my obligation. The great hero hesitated, "The most beautiful Cleopatra, my love, you know." ”
"Hmph~" The queen's disdainful snort was also full of lust and charm, and the big hero felt that his heart was shaking, and his blood began to surge again.
The queen pointed lightly at the void, and a huge curtain of light appeared in front of the hero.
"Look at it, my hero. This is what the white-robed mage, the sorcerer of the Arcane Order, does, endless chaos and killing. There is no honor or dignity to speak of. The Queen's soft, sexy body crept up Hercules' majestic chest, "He won't even tell you his real name, he won't tell you his ultimate goal." It is only a call to death for empty commands. ”
Hercules looked at the chaotic and brutal scenes of Cairo, Baghdad and other cities in the picture, and the vulgar slaughter and lust made him sick.
Cleopatra kissed the big hero's steely shoulders and chest muscles, and slid down a little: "You are the most powerful hero, and a true warrior is willing to die for you." Even your enemies admire your character and wisdom. Gather your comrades, Invincible Hercules, and under your leadership we can establish the eternal kingdom of God in this world. ”
The queen leaned down and kissed Hercules, who was as hard as steel, "We will be the rulers of this kingdom of God." You...... ...... with me."
"Huh! Not bad! Hercules, the most powerful, threw up his head and let out a comforting and exhilarating groan.
