Chapter 423: The Escape of Ah Fu and the Android, the Ambush of the Great
Chapter 424: The fleeing Afu and the androids, the ambushing Grand Duke
In contrast to the battlefield between Altria disguised as Black Assassin and Red Rider Achilles, under the joint efforts of Shuoyue and Atalanta, it was Saber on the black side who fell into a disadvantage.
Gan Jiang and Moye came out together, and the spear blade separated the slash of Black Saber. The young man stared at the enemy's chest with his captivating rainbow blue eyes, threw away the fist gun, clenched his fist and punched!
The wind and clouds were howling, and Siegfried, who had been injured by the fierce fist, did not dare to neglect it. He retreated steadily and used the magic sword to block Shuoyue's attacks again and again.
But just when he was concentrating on dealing with Shuoyue, the arrow flew through the air and accurately pierced his shoulder. The severe pain attacked, but the dragon slayer had no expression on his face. He just calmly waved his long sword, rolled up the sand and dust to cover himself, and the "re-stance" took effect, and the penetrating wound caused by the arrow was rapidly recovering.
Siegfried, who has the magical skill of re-stance, can recover at a very fast speed as long as he is not fatally injured in an instant.
Unfortunately, although the move is good, it will lose its meaning if used too many times.
What's more, the enemy of Siegfried is the most powerful female hunter in Greece and the Shuoyue who is familiar with the skills of any heroic spirit?
The sound of the gun was crisp, Shuoyue pulled the trigger, and the projected magic bullet tore through the wind barrier, and the fully charged arrow followed closely, found the swordsman hiding in it, and caused him another wound!
"We have cracked your move, Black Saber."
The young man pressed forward again without waiting for Siegfried to react, forcing Siegfried to raise his greatsword to meet the enemy before he could use his ability.
Here we have to mention Siegfried's dilemma.
Although his inherent skill, re-stance, can leave the battlefield, he is fighting against archers who are good at long-range combat and assassins with "breath blocking". Once he tries to distance himself, Red Archer's attack will be more dangerous, and Shuoyue, who almost killed Black Lancer, will show his most ferocious edge to him!
Atalanta and Shuoyue pushed Siegfried so hard, didn't they want to force him to really use the "re-position" to drag the battle into the consumption and assassination they are best at?
"Hu..." Siegfried, who was shot in the arm and calf, exhaled turbid air, and finally showed a little ferocity on his face when he looked at Shuoyue who was chasing him.
The Master was still ready to move a few minutes ago, but then he was strangely quiet again, leaving the rhythm of the battle to Siegfried.
He was very grateful for the Master's tolerance, but this did not mean that Siegfried could forgive the failure tonight.
Even as humble as he was, he also shouldered the pride of a dragon slayer!
Siegfried wanted to let the enemy know that even if he had to fight two people alone, he could still defeat them all!
With the shout of the silver-haired swordsman, the dark night was painted with orange-red, and the true ether in the cyan gem was released without reservation, but it was not condensed at one point, but spread out wantonly, turning into the thickest and most vast dusk sword energy, covering the entire battlefield!
The sharp sword light covered the sky, Atalanta was shocked to find that he had lost his vision, and Shuoyue couldn't help but take a step back, feeling the chill of killing intent!
In this dusk area, Shuoyue's connection with Atalanta was broken, which meant that he had to resist Siegfried's fierce attack alone before Ta Meow arrived at the battlefield again!
With just one move, the offense and defense reversed.
This is the foundation of the top servant, this is the dragon slayer of the Netherlands, this is Siegfried!
In desperation, Shuoyue licked the dry corners of his mouth, and his fighting spirit did not decrease but increased. He looked at Siegfried who was walking slowly and his wounds healed rapidly, and the rainbow blue in his eyes became more and more brilliant.
With his right hand, the magic power that had just recovered burst out again, replaced by the magnificent spirit that could not be concealed before the palm of his hand was formed.
In the distance, the red Rider on the chariot roared and charged at the judge who was waiting for battle.
Here, the black Saber with the dusk field opened drew her sword and stepped forward, while the assassin sneered, and the projected divine treasure was ready to go.
——At this critical moment, the leaders of the two camps issued orders at the same time.
"That's it, three of you." The priest smiled lightly, "Our Berserker has fallen into the hands of the enemy, so don't reveal more information."
"Retreat first, Saber, Assassin. You did a good job, but next, you have other things to do." Danic said in a deep voice, "Also, announce to all the masters and servants of Yugdomirenia."
Looking at the image reflected by the familiar, Danic suppressed the incomprehension and unhappiness in his heart and continued to speak.
"Rider escaped with a homunculus. That homunculus is an important element. We must capture it alive."
Yes, after dealing with the Red Berserker, the Black Rider Astolfo, who was the first to return to the city, did something that no one could understand.
——At the critical moment of the Holy Grail War, he escaped from the Mirenia Fortress with a homunculus who had awakened his own will.
And that homunculus was judged by Caster to be an important material that could be used as the 'core'.
To be honest, when Danic learned about this, he was speechless at Rider's unprecedented degree.
The existence that Rider wanted to protect at the cost of running away was, after all, just a homunculus. Originally, it was a defective product in terms of physical structure, and it was not even an obstacle. It was okay to let him escape.
But if it is the "core", the matter is different. Even if the Servant is used, the android must be captured.
However, why does Rider want to let the android go? He can't escape together. In the final analysis, the servant is just a familiar that can't survive if the causal line is cut off.
In other words, what Rider did is meaningless. Save the android? It's impossible to save it. It's obviously garbage. How can it be integrated into the world?
For Danic, who has lived as a magician for a hundred years, this is completely incomprehensible.
Putting this absurd thing behind him, Danic then connected the causal line with his Servant Vlad III.
"Grand Duke, it's time."
"Well, this time, the assassin must pay the price."
The murderous intent of the black Lancer was transmitted along the causal line, making his master smile with satisfaction.
How could he let the red servants go easily? You know, this is the territory of the Thousand World Trees, the absolute home court of Yugdomrenia!
The Moon was able to temporarily strip the spirit veins and weaken Flanders III; couldn't he, the Lord of the Thousand Worlds Tree, control the spirit veins and conceal his aura?
The damn Red Assassin and Archer would never have thought that the Black Lancer had already reached the rear, waiting for the perfect opportunity to sneak attack.
With the idea of just in case, Danic handed words to Saber and Assassin: "You will pretend to retreat later. If the two servants escape, you will deal with them."
"Understood."
"Okay."
Siegfried and Altria each responded, but Flanders III could never have thought that one of the two servants would connect to another causal line in the next moment.
"The Moon, there is danger behind you!"
————
Back to not long ago, not long after the Red Berserker was captured, the Black Rider, Astolfo, hurriedly returned to the fortress in spirit form.
Of course, he wanted to make full use of the opportunity of the black side tonight. In a short period of time, this should not be able to take care of the situation of a mere android.
This is a good opportunity, a good opportunity for the poor android to escape.
The android was just practicing walking, and the "black" Rider, who was holding his breath, suddenly knocked on the door of the room. With a slightly injured body, he smiled and stretched out his hand to the android.
"Now is the right time, hurry up, let's run!"
Before the android understood the situation, the handsome knight with pink hair held his hand and ran with him. They ran wildly in the corridor, passing by the patrol team that was unstoppable, but their eyes revealed sadness and a glimmer of hope; passing by the scarred android compatriots who hid in the corner waiting for the visit of the god of death... Finally, the stone doll made by Caster found them and began to chase.
Although the android had no ability to resist, he was accompanied by the legendary paladin, the famous adventurer - after entanglement and hiding, the two were out of breath and finally escaped from the city.
Passing through the back door on the east side of the fortress, what appeared before them was a turbulent river, a muddy current as powerful as a torrential rain, which was obviously a trap set by magic.
On the other side, as far as the eye can see are continuous mountains. Although the scenery is steep, there is freedom there. Although it is a freedom with only a little joy and cruel reality, it at least allows people to have the will to live.
But to touch this precious freedom, they must break through the defense line set up by the Mirenia Fortress.
"Well... you must never let go from now on, okay?"
The android nodded nervously up and down. There were obviously traps and barriers set by magic in the area. Servant aside, if it was a mere android - a defective product that would fall into near-death just by using magic, it might die in less than ten seconds.
But Ah Fu smiled confidently and said, "I have this, clang clang!"
He took out a heavy leather-bound book. Although the words and graphics on the cover were dim, the android understood that this was clearly an item related to magic.
"In the past, I saved a woman named Rostisila. This is what she gave me at that time. Just holding it in your hand can break all magic!"
Amazing, the android exclaimed.
This is one of the Noble Phantasms of the Black Rider, Astolfo, one of the Twelve Warriors under Charlemagne; an adventurer who once went on various adventures as he pleased and finally reached the moon. As a heroic spirit, he has more Noble Phantasms than Achilles, who is also a Rider.
"——However, there is one thing that is more troublesome. Although this is a Noble Phantasm, I forgot its real name!"
The android's admiration had just risen, but it was beaten back by Afu's ridiculous words.
"...Huh?"
In FSR, the effect of the spirit vein is further explained. It can not only enhance magic power, but also achieve concealment and many other functions. Therefore, the protagonist Miyamoto Iori must fight with the enemy for the spirit vein every time he goes out to fight (it is really cool to chop with two swords in the later stage)
