Chapter 373: A Nuclear Strike Detected
From now on, the Holy Grail War has truly evolved into a "war".
The small group of flying golems sent by Medea spread out along the prepared formation, marching towards the center of the inherent barrier in an encircled manner.
Although it was not clear what the other party was trying to do, the owner of the temple would never allow the enemy to break in so easily.
As a result, a huge amount of light burst out from the Radiance Composite Temple, which was a denser number of flying golems than the surrounding Floating City, blasting towards the more than twenty attacking golems in an almost encircled manner.
Inside, the moment the light cannon appeared, the flying golems had already made evasive moves, but in the face of the number of attacks beyond the limit, their dodge looked so ridiculous.
The moment the light cannon was fired, more than half of the flying golems turned into fireworks in the sky on the spot, but with the help of their teammates, the remaining flying golems took the opportunity to lower their flight altitude and flew towards the location of the Radiant Composite Temple.
The cannons of light that shot into the air immediately bent in an arc under the control of Osmandis, turning their heads to track down the fleeing enemy.
And the closer they got to the Radiant Compound Grand Temple, the more difficult it was for these flying golems to dodge in front of the light cannons that flanked them back and forth.
Medea also realized this situation, so she immediately changed her strategy, and the few remaining flying golems suddenly converged, their wings folded side by side in front of them to form a temporary protective circle, and their power was completely lost, and their bodies fell straight in the direction of the Radiant Composite Temple.
After withstanding the attack from the front, although the protective circle was crumbling and the wings were already cracked, it did survive, and the invasion team composed of several golems quickly lowered its height.
Feeling that they were about to break through the protection and enter the airspace of the temple, Osmandis, who was far away in the Grand Temple of Radiant Compound, let out a sneer, and the speed of the light cannon that had been tracking behind suddenly increased, shattering the golems from behind.
Rumble!
The brilliant firelight exploded in the air, and the remaining missed light cannons slowly dissipated, and the magic power emitted was also reabsorbed and utilized by the Radiance Compound.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the dissipating firelight, which was a remnant of a golem.
Judging by its bloated body, it was not a flying golem, but a ground golem that had been carried by the flying golem earlier.
At this time, it was also in a very bad state, half of its body was blasted to pieces, revealing the exquisite mechanical structure inside and the magic mark that constantly erupted with fire, and the weapons and offensive magic mark it carried on its body were almost completely invalid in this destruction.
But under the cover of numerous flying golems and ground golems, it finally left the power of the final blow.
Relying on an ingenious modular device, the golem moved its last movable arm, raising its hand and aiming what appeared to be an uncarved fist at the Radiant Composite Temple not far away.
The Grand Temple's autonomic guards also seemed to have spotted the fish that had slipped through the net, and several beams reappeared, blocking all possible paths for the golem to dodge and attack with cross-fire.
Just before it was about to be completely destroyed, the golem had already launched its final attack.
Boom!
Rumble!
As the golem exploded into a firework in midair, its seemingly unpolished fist was also fired like a cannonball, until at this point the magic pattern engraved on the fist came into play, and the "fist" that was originally fired straight out swam quickly like a nimble snake.
Swish!
Another dazzling white cannon of light slashed through the air, like a blade wielded by a Juggernaut, and struck the fist cannonball with an inscrutable trajectory, melting it into a puddle of molten iron in midair.
"Hey, hey."
"Humph!"
At the same time, different voices came from the two floating battle fortresses.
Medea smiled so happily that her beautiful eyes even narrowed, and then she stretched out as if celebrating her victory, completely ignoring her image.
On the other side, Osmandis did not feel like he had won a big victory in the first round of temptation, but looked angry.
Because at the last moment, the reason why the self-discipline protective light cannon was able to hit the last trajectory of the golem was completely controlled by Osmandis himself to stop it.
Therefore, the first round of temptation seemed to be a vain attempt on Medea's side, but in fact, Osmandis's shot has shown that the self-discipline combat system on the side of the Floating City is more than that of the Radiant Composite Grand Temple.
That is to say, from this point, the great Sun King Osmandis has already failed once.
"Wang ......"
Ise Sangenri knelt nervously on the ground according to the smile on Osmandis's face.
"Humph! In your mind, is Yu such a narrow-minded person? These magicians specialize in this, and there are only you who are not good at it, and they are just some disadvantages, not worth mentioning! In other words, if the enemy didn't have this kind of strength, this battle would be too boring for Yu. ”
With a wave of his hand, Osmandis waved his hand, and the entire interior of the Radiance Composite Grand Temple lit up with layers of light, as if they were all alive.
"Come on, show more strength, let Yu Neng enjoy this battle even more! If you just rely on those toys just now, you won't even be able to break through the perimeter of the Temple of Yu! Hahahahaha ”
On the other side, Medea in the Floating City also straightened her sitting posture, and her expression became serious.
"Lancer, be ready to protect me."
"No problem, Master, but will any enemy really choose to come here and fight us?"
"Of course, after all, there are more than two sides to this battle......"
Medea controlled the light curtain split screen in front of her, in addition to the scene of the Radiant Composite Temple, the other side of the light curtain showed the sky courtyard that had been hidden in the fog.
"There's a little mouse there, and it's been quietly hiding."
……
……
"It looks like the war has begun."
Semiramis and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada stood at the bow of the Sky Garden, and behind them were several servants who were ready.
I took a deep breath of the early morning mist, but I didn't feel much of a refreshing feeling from it, just a little damp and stuffy.
This is understandable, as it is too difficult to create a fog of this magnitude on a winter morning, so it is actually created by magic.
The other two parties should have already noticed the problem of this dense fog, but under the special orders of Amakusa Shiro Shizhen, the dense fog made by Semiramis is no different from the ordinary dense fog effect in ordinary nature.
In addition to being more difficult to dispel, it does not have any special abilities, and it can only slightly block the line of sight, which has almost no effect on the servant, and the only one who can feel the impact is most likely to be left with a servant like Archer.
Because it does not contain any special abilities, this level of dense fog can be quickly summoned even if it is dispelled, and the other two parties have no intention of dispelling this dense fog without affecting their own combat effectiveness.
"Are you really going to fight?"
There was some worry in Semiramis's expression, but she covered it up with a confident look.
"I must control this hanging garden, so I can't go directly to the battlefield, although I will do my best to support, but don't go too deep into the enemy formation, my lord."
"Don't worry, I know very well what level of my strength is."
That being said, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada has no intention of retreating on this battlefield at all, he will fight with all his might, and he will do his best to seize his goal, for which he is willing to risk his life, and even can do unjust acts without hesitation.
Semiramis naturally saw Amakusa Shiro's determination, but the queen who had poisoned her lover did not stop it, but asked in a calm tone:
"I'll prepare some dragon tooth soldiers, three thousand should be enough."
Therefore, these dragon tooth soldiers made of dragon teeth are completely miscellaneous soldiers who have been used and thrown away on the battlefield of this level, but no matter how good the miscellaneous soldiers are, the number of three thousand is too abnormal.
"Of course, the more support there is, the better...... But Assassin, so many dragon tooth soldiers shouldn't be ready to come right now. ”
"Of course it's not possible under normal circumstances, but as long as I'm in this sky courtyard, there's nothing I can't do." Semiramis replied with a confident smile.
But Amakusa Shiro Shizhen still had some doubts, indeed, as long as she was in this aerial courtyard, it meant that Semiramis was in her own realm, and all her attributes and skills would be strengthened, and she could even use magic close to the magic realm.
Of course, at the price, once Semiramis chooses to leave this Aerial Courtyard, he will become almost powerless, but since this Aerial Courtyard itself is a mobile fortress, it is not a big problem.
Can...... Even with this level of ability, it would be too difficult to create this number of Dragontooth soldiers in a short period of time.
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen glanced at Semiramis and realized something, but he just smiled.
"So...... Assign the task, someone needs to stay here just in case, and then the rest of the people choose their own goals. ”
"I can go to the temple." Karna looked in the direction of the Radiant Compound Grand Temple, a look of excitement in his eyes.
"I don't care, as long as there's a fight." Beowulf's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Then I'll go to the temple too, I can launch my own Noble Phantasm when necessary, after all, this is already the most important battle."
Arash stood with Karna with a gentle smile, and although his tone was very calm, Shiro Amakusa, who knew the price of his treasure, gave him a look of admiration.
"I'll forget it...... I'll stay at the base camp. ”
The speaker was a mysteriously dressed figure, wrapped in what appeared to be a fur cloak all over his body, and his figure looked unusually tall, even the most athletic Beowulf and the tallest Karna looked a little "small" in front of him.
"Oh, it's surprising, I smell the same kind of thing from you, but can you control your desire to fight so simply?" Beowulf's eyes were full of curiosity as he looked at the servant.
The Mysterious Servant just glanced at him, and walked back to the church in silence.
Looking at the battle intent emanating from Beowulf's body, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen could only stop him with a wry smile and stopped his pace of wanting to continue to provoke: "Okay, then I'll go with you to attack another air fortress." ”
After simply deciding who to fight again, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen stood back on the bow of the ship, but instead of looking at the air fortresses on both sides that had begun to start a formal battle, he turned his head to look at the other side.
There, there is an inconspicuous mountain, and at the top of the mountain there is a temple, which is the Enzo Mountain where the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki City is hiding.
When he saw his goal, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen's heart skipped a beat.
He knew very well that what he had been looking for all along, really, exactly, was in that mountain.
His body trembled with excitement, desperately suppressing the corners of his mouth that were about to rise.
"Even a man of your calibre can't hide his excitement after seeing his long-awaited goal, and he is indeed a child from this point."
The original trembling and smile stopped at the same time, and Amakusa Shiro Shizhen looked at Semiramis who appeared beside him a little helplessly, as if he was losing his temper.
"Well, at least it's nice that you can hold back and dance. Speaking of which, if you die, I will die, and if I die, all these plans will be in vain, right? ”
"Well, of course."
Hearing his master's still calm answer, Semiramis let out a rare sigh of disregard for his manners, and his tone was a little explicit.
"In that case, are you still going to go to war? I really can't understand that a master like you should never step into the battlefield, even if your strength is really good, but why risk your own life? ”
Semiramis's question is very reasonable, he is very clear about his identity as the master, but he also knows that his strength is not the strongest in this Holy Grail War, and there are many servants on the scene who are stronger than him.
And the accidents on the battlefield are even more diverse, if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation of death, and then all plans will be ruined.
Although this plan is important, sending the Servants out to attack the enemies on both sides, and the defense of the aerial courtyard by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Semiramis is also a very good choice, and it can also avoid those accidents.
Emotionally and intellectually, Semiramis didn't feel that it was appropriate for Shiro Amakusa to personally go into battle.
So Semiramis was puzzled, wondering why his lord did this.
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to have made up his mind, and replied in a calm voice:
"If my plan is indeed against God's will, then I will surely die on this battlefield. Whatever the reason, I will silently accept the fact that God cannot forgive me, and there is no way around it. But...... But...... If everything goes smoothly......"
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen put away the smile that usually hung on his face and looked straight at his servant.
There is no such thing as ominous, madness, hatred in his eyes, and it can even be said to be as smooth as the surface of a calm lake...... But it's also too calm, not at all like someone who is about to go to war.
That means God allowed me to do that! It means that the wish that I want to fulfill in order to heal all human beings out of pity is correct, and as long as I know this, I am no longer confused, and I am not in vain that I have betrayed something that must not be betrayed! ”
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was well aware of his thoughts, and in Semiramis's eyes he was nothing but reckless and stupid behavior.
For him, however, it was an unusual obsession that no one else could understand, a ritual that had to be performed in order to strengthen his will.
"Hmm...... To be honest, I don't understand. ”
"I think so."
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen smiled bitterly, she was right, no one should understand why it was necessary to go on such a dangerous battlefield just to judge whether he was right.
He thought he would be opposed, but Semiramis only declared in the manner of commanding his courtiers:
"All in all, I understand that if you don't do this, you won't move on, and there is no way to do it. So I choose to forgive Your Excellency, go to war, and survive! ”
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen was stunned for a moment, and then a relieved expression appeared on his face.
"So...... Thank you to the Queen for your support. ”
The tentative battle between the other two sides of the conversation has ended, and both sides are visibly preparing to move in earnest.
"It seems that they don't plan to let us just watch it like this, in this case, let's face it, while there is still more time, let's prepare some miscellaneous soldiers first."
Semiramis glanced at the group of flying golems lined up in the distance, and it was clear from the array that the other party had also wrapped himself and others as battle targets.
And although there are no obvious movements on the side of the Radiance Compound Grand Temple, it must be the same as the enemy on the other side.
Semiramis sneered, and with a raised hand, a giant crucible with a diameter of about ten meters appeared out of thin air, and the crucible floated past the bow part of the courtyard in the air, and then reversed upside down.
Massive yellowed bone fragments immediately rained down the ground from the cauldron, falling into the soil and growing like plants, and soon a group of skeletal soldiers with lizard-like heads and jaws were born.
"Doesn't it look different from a normal dragon's tooth soldier?" Arash was curious.
Although the upper body is exactly the same as a normal dragon tooth soldier, it has wings on its back, and the lower body looks like a bird.
"Yes...... Harpuia? ”
"That's right, this is my improved dragon tooth soldier, after all, the current battlefield environment still needs some air combat troops. Although the Harpy is a flying demonic beast, it is easily confused by appetite, and although its personality is cruel, it is very timid, and it is not suitable for use as a soldier at all. So I fused them with the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers, so that they should not be counted as Dragon's Tooth Soldiers, but should be called Dragonwing Soldiers. ”
Semiramis shook his head with some regret as he looked at the dragonwings who had already waved his wings and flew into the air, flying around the courtyard in the air.
"But it's still the same problem as the Dragon's Tooth Soldier, despite the name of the dragon, but still a weak and ugly miscellaneous soldier. Although the bones on his body are harder than steel, he is still powerless against enemies like the Servant, and even when facing the flying golems of Floating City, his strength is slightly embarrassing. ”
The only good thing is probably that there are enough of them, but with three thousand modified dragon wings created at one time, even with the blessing of the Aerial Courtyard, Semiramis has already reached its limit.
"So...... Let's go! Those who do not have the ability to fly can fly in the Dragonwings, and their mission is to make a breakthrough to the enemy's floating fortress as much as possible to attract the most attention. Assassin, the base camp is up to you. ”
Amakusa Shiro Shizhen looked at the small group of flying golems that had already flown towards them in the distance, and gave an order decisively.
"Yes!"
"Understood."
"No problem."
……
……
Medea's side has already begun to move seriously, and the flying golems that flew out later are not at the same level as the advance team sent before.
They use the energy generated by solid crystals to fly at high speeds that almost defy the laws of physics, while the ground golems they carry are powerful and equipped with the ultimate weapons of Medea's research, in addition to a variety of magic circles that are more suitable for long-range attacks.
Relying on the terrifying power generated by the energy of the solid magic crystal, the second batch of hundreds of flying golems participating in the battle took a relaxed and comfortable attitude to dodge the interceptor light cannon fired from the Radiant Composite Temple.
While the flying golem kept dodging, the ground golem it carried was also using its own means to attack the Radiant Compound Grand Temple.
All of a sudden, all kinds of light cannons, magic balls, and even physical fist missiles continued to attack the various magic hubs of the temple.
The self-disciplined anti-aircraft device of the Radiance Composite Grand Temple was exhausted by a large number of attacks, and could constantly launch light cannons to intercept the enemy's attacks, in this case, the previous fire network for air defense inevitably appeared loopholes.
As a result, several golems seized on this fleeting flaw, quickly broke through the fire net, and came to the top of the Radiant Composite Temple, throwing down the ground golems they were carrying.
Although these fish were quickly strangled under the intertwined pillars of light, the golems they carried had also descended to the "ground" of the temple.
After landing, the self-discipline attack devices on the periphery of the Radiance Compound Grand Temple, which were specially designed for air defense, were ineffective, and these golems, which had been specially strengthened by Medea and specially increased their firepower, immediately exerted terrifying destructive power after landing on the ground.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
With a down-to-earth cushion, the golems were finally able to fire at full power, leaving the area they had descended on in a short period of time.
There was even a smaller temple that had more than half of its buildings destroyed in a short period of time.
"Roar!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a roar of rage, the raging golems suddenly fell to the ground at the same time as if they had been hit hard.
The heavy metal shell, strengthened by magic, had no protective effect at all, and was torn apart by the terrifying power, revealing the core of magic inside.
Before the golems could get up, a few more cold flashes flashed, and the golems, which had been badly damaged, were torn apart and turned into scrap metal.
It was only then that the attacker revealed its form, licking its broad palms and spreading its massive wings, the same sphinx that had caused great trouble for Emiya Shirou and them.
No, not just one!
With the sound of muffled footsteps and flapping wings, more sphinxes slowly emerged from all directions.
Counting the number of sphinxes flying towards here in the distance, there were even more than twenty sphinxes gathered here, and the largest sphinx, which was already on par with the one Zheng Shu had killed, could also earn the title of Sphinx.
Examining the destroyed golems and the surrounding destroyed temples, the Sphinx's faces were palpable with disgust.
Looking at the "flies" that were still flying in the sky above the Radiant Compound Temple, the Sphinx moved his claws, and he felt the urge to rush directly to kill these flies, but after thinking of his mission, he pressed this mood again.
With a low roar, it prepared to evacuate with its men, continuing to guard the temple to prevent any intruders from disturbing the Pharaoh.
Didi!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the chest of one of the largest golems.
As soon as the Sphinx, who was about to leave, turned around after hearing the voice, he immediately felt a huge fear of death covering his heart, and he didn't have time to think about anything, he opened his wings and launched a magic power to release, allowing his entire body to eject out.
At this time, the body of the golem had begun to glow, not because of the flames, but because the temperature on its body instantly exceeded the strong heat emission phenomenon caused by the definition of common sense, and this temperature was still increasing rapidly.
Then, destruction struck.
The terrifying explosion carried extremely high temperatures, so that the protective enchantment of the Radiance Composite Temple was destroyed in an instant, even if the temple's self-discipline protection system had discovered the problem and launched an attack very simply towards the inside of the temple, but the almost infinite light cannon could not stop the emission of the blazing heat.
Within a thousandth of a second, all the power was released, and the shock wave spread out quickly with the high temperature at an astonishing speed, and the ground turned into magma in an instant, and then shattered into a spirit child in the extreme heat.
The tsunami-like shock wave continued to spread indefinitely, destroying everything along with the heat, and three successive temples were blown down by the wind, crushed, and finally shattered and decomposed into Lingzi.
The entire Radiant Composite Grand Temple's inherent enchantment was affected by this terrifying attack, and even the Sun King, who was in the center of the temple, felt a noticeable tremor.
Because the high temperature was too concentrated to dissipate quickly, a circle of upward pillars of fire appeared in the center of the explosion, and the absolute violence broke through the defense mechanism of the inherent barrier rich in high mystery, revealing its own form to the world.
