Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

Then the opponent's spear knocked his sword away, leaving him with no chance to release his treasure and turn the tables.

Then when Mordred was about to rush forward, the opponent's guns quickly formed a gun screen and instantly pierced through her armor, but the opponent did not stab her to death directly, but hit her vitals, causing her eyes to go black and she fell down directly.

Failed...

At this time, Mordred, who had completely lost the power to resist and was like a revolving lantern, was much calmer than before.

She subconsciously thought of what the other person had said before, and also remembered that her father seemed to have said similar words to her, but she never listened to them.

If you think about it this way, her will was indeed dominated by anger just now. Otherwise, if she had released her treasure earlier, would she not have been defeated so miserably?

Can we turn defeat into victory?

Maybe...

But just like the words she had kept to herself for so long during the Battle of Camlan, which she never said, Mordred now had no chance to do it again.

With this thought, Mordred lost consciousness.

At the end of her loss of consciousness 1.0, she seemed to feel someone catch her.

A pleasant fragrance emanated from the other person's body.

Although separated by armor, for some reason, Mordred felt that the embrace was particularly warm.

She fainted with such thoughts.

And Altria looked at Mordred in her arms and sighed.

She felt that this time was no different from the Battle of Jianlan.

If anything, she is stronger than she was then, and she took down Mordred instead of just killing her...

But essentially nothing has changed.

Thinking of this, Altria frowned and felt a little annoyed.

But she would not vent her anger by yelling like Mordred did, so she held Mordred in her arms with great repression and walked towards the direction of the Holy Grail.

Mordred lost the battle.

But Altria...didn't win either!

170. Thank you, Shakespeare

The Thousand Worlds Tree is the black side, and the side that uses the Hanging Gardens as its base, that is, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, is naturally the red side.

The Red Team also has seven of the fourteen Heroic Spirits. The Heroic Spirits summoned here are Archer Atalanta, Lancer Karna, Rider Achilles, Caster Shakespeare, Assassin Semiramis, Berserker Spartacus and the last one, Saber Mordred.

Among them, Mordred is free and not in the Hanging Gardens.

Spartacus had already gone mad and rushed towards the base camp of the Thousand Worlds Tree, but was then caught by the Ren World Tree.

Qianjieshu felt that they had the advantage, while Amakusa Shiro Tokisada used this method to determine who the black side's heroic spirits were and what their abilities were.

Then Amakusa Shiro and Tokisada prepared to go to the base camp of the Thousand Worlds Tree to snatch the Holy Grail.

So Atalanta, Achilles and Karna were sent out.

The only ones still in the Hanging Gardens are Semiramis who controls the Hanging Gardens, Shakespeare who is in charge of the behind-the-scenes work, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, and the other Masters who are controlled by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

Among them, Amakusa Shiro, Tokisada and Shakespeare are exactly the targets of Roland and Jeanne this time.

"There is an intruder."

The Hanging Gardens itself had various defensive preparations, so when Roland swaggered down from the sky with Joan of Arc in his arms, Semiramis spotted them immediately.

Then the dragon tooth soldiers and the monster-like divine fish in the sky garden were immediately dispatched, and all kinds of defensive barriers were activated.

Joan of Arc couldn't fly, so Roland carried her up to the sky. Now that she had landed, Roland let go of her. Although Joan of Arc didn't show any special reaction on her face, she still quickly got out of Roland's arms.

This is no way.

After all, Joan of Arc is more of a saint girl than a saint woman.

Being hugged by the opposite sex... Even though she knew that this was just for the sake of getting on the road, she still felt a little agitated.

"Roland, is it really okay for us to come here in such a grand manner?"

Hearing what Jeanne said, Roland smiled.

"What's wrong with that? After all, there's no reason for the strong to avoid the weak."

Roland said this lightly, and then the pitch-black shadow slapped in all directions like a wave, and the terrifying shadow blade bit everything around it. Whether it was the dragon-tooth soldiers or the divine fish, they were all instantly shattered under the power of the dragon's shadow!

Even the occasional long-range attack would be blocked by Roland using gravity manipulation and the invisible hand.

It can be said that he and Joan of Arc could chat without restraint, and the defenses of the surrounding hanging gardens... haha, were vulnerable!

"Well, it's time for us to go. Even if the heroic spirits come back, they will be in the same situation, but some special treasures will inevitably cause us some trouble. I have other more important things to do when I return, so let's make it quick."

If you think about it, Altria and Mordred should have fought each other before.

Roland was a little concerned about the outcome over there, so he just said this and went deeper into the Hanging Gardens with Jeanne.

Shakespeare must die.

Because his ability has a certain tendency to guide destiny, it is inevitable that it will cause unpredictable effects. It is also a strategy to eliminate such guys in advance.

and...

For Roland, killing him has a deeper meaning.

After all, Roland never cared about the so-called Holy Grail War. His real targets were, one, Altria's heart knot, and, the other, a brief investigation of the so-called alien from outer space from Sieg's side after being gathered in the parallel world as mentioned by Alaya and Gaia.

As for having Bazette and Yuzu reach the source through the Greater Holy Grail... could this thing fail?

Does this matter require special planning?

If it weren't for the first two purposes, and if Roland was planning to recruit some members of the gods to obtain reinforcement points, Roland might have already withdrawn all the heroes at this time, waiting for Bazette and Youzhu to return from the source.

The so-called Holy Grail War is just a game like this to Roland.

"Roland, there are a lot of defensive barriers on this passage, but Shakespeare is inside. It looks like he hasn't run away yet. But maybe he knows we're coming, so he's probably planning to run away."

Joan of Arc stood outside the passage, looking at the room at the end of the passage. She used her ability as a judge to judge the situation and reported it to Roland.

When Roland heard Joan of Arc say this, he nodded first, then put his arms around Joan of Arc's waist and held her in his arms.

And while almost holding her breath, Jeanne spoke slowly.

"Then we have to hurry over, hold on to me."

"Uh-huh......!"

Joan of Arc blinked, her thoughts stagnating as she responded softly. Then Roland took a step forward.

Roland stepped directly into the defensive barriers in the passage that Joan of Arc had just seen, but there was no sign of the barriers being triggered.

It was as if Roland and Joan of Arc had turned into ghosts at this moment.

Joan of Arc, who saw this scene, used Roland's reasons to convince herself not to let her imagination run wild.

Roland took Joan of Arc and broke directly into the room where Shakespeare was.

As the door was shattered by the dragon's remains, the wind pressure brought by the impact blew everything in the room. The books and papers filled with words in Shakespeare's room were blown all over the sky, like falling feathers, looking so sacred in the sunset that penetrated through the window.

Shakespeare was sitting on the ground, looking at Roland who had come to him and Joan of Arc in his arms, and his eyes widened.

Seeing Shakespeare like this, Roland reached out to him.

"I'm sorry, but that's all you can do."

There was no intention of saying more to the other party. Following Roland's action, the shadow of the dragon directly pierced through Shakespeare's body, causing him to fall to the ground on the spot, and then turned into golden light dust and disappeared.

The moment the attack was launched, Roland hugged Joan of Arc and turned around, and walked out in a swagger from the position where he came from.

Joan of Arc was still very confused at this time, so even after Shakespeare died, she forgot to get out of Roland's arms. Similarly, she did not notice that Roland's shadow never returned to Roland after passing through Shakespeare.

At this time, the sun gradually set, and Roland's shadowless void was gradually completely hidden in the falling night.

In the Hanging Gardens, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is hiding in the Master's room.

The pitch-black shadow stood up from the ground while wriggling, forming a human shape.

The shadow grinned like a demon that had just crawled out of hell - and then it walked straight towards the unconscious Masters.

And in Shakespeare's room.

After Roland and Joan of Arc walked for a while, a figure in a black robe also appeared here.

He looked at the place where Shakespeare died, and his eyes hidden in the shadows did not fluctuate at all. However, he also saw that at the place where Shakespeare died, there was a page of the book that seemed to have been pushed into the corner by Shakespeare before he died. That was the last page he was writing before he died.

He slowly picked up the page, and then saw a simple sketch of Roland hugging Joan of Arc, who looked a little shy.

Then at the top of the stick drawing, a sentence like this was written.

——The murderer, the witch Joan of Arc!

He already knew that Shakespeare had written Joan of Arc as a witch.

In other words, anyone who knows Shakespeare's history would find it hard not to know this.

So although he was somewhat concerned, there was something else on this page that he cared more about than this line of text. 400 That was this stick figure drawing!

He looked at the stick drawing, his eyes widened and became bloodshot, and even his breathing became much more rapid!

Because when he became what he is now, that great being once showed him a prediction of the future - these predictions were very vague, many key scenes were missing, and they were intermittent, but he vaguely saw that he seemed to have a good relationship with this saint girl named Joan of Arc.

The other person was like a ray of sunshine falling from the sky, piercing through his dark world as an artificial man and illuminating himself.

Even though he had seen that vague deduction, he still had a strong liking for this saintly girl.

He had been planning to look for this saintly girl after he accomplished his goal...but now he saw her being shyly held in the arms of someone else!

The existence that has been brutally concluded by the parallel world is already quite paranoid.

So after seeing this scene, his mind was filled with murderous intent towards that man, and he was completely unable to accept all of this!

Just at this moment, the moonlight crept into the room, illuminating his somewhat hideous face.

At the same time, Roland, who had already walked across the aisle and let go of Jeanne, suddenly laughed.

Just as he imagined, this guy was indeed the one that Alaya and Gaia mentioned, the one who was gathered in the parallel world, and the original protagonist of this Holy Grail War - Sieg.

And he also saw the last page left by Shakespeare.

He thought that in the little time he left for Shakespeare, it would be good enough for him to leave some words and clues to stimulate this guy so that he could judge his situation. However, he did not expect that Shakespeare's ability was so outstanding that he even left behind a stick drawing.

Such a situation made him sigh in his heart.

The plan went better than I thought.

Thank you, Shakespeare.

171. Semiramis's Heart-Stirring Moment

"Are we going to look for Amakusa Shiro Tokisada after this?"

Joan of Arc followed Roland and finally came out of her shyness.

After she had calmed down, she asked Roland this question, and Roland, who was walking in front of her, shook his head slightly.

He kept looking straight ahead, because the deep darkness brought by the night obscured the end of the road and swallowed up the light in his eyes, but Joan of Arc could still see his calmness from his smile that was neither happy nor sad.

"No, we don't have to take the initiative to find him. He is already waiting for us at the end of this road with Assassin."

"I see..."

Joan of Arc tightened the battle flag in her hand.

As the judge of this Holy Grail War, Jeanne had the privilege of being able to conduct large-scale reconnaissance without regard for aura obstructions, but now Jeanne did not sense this ambush - this was obviously the work of Amakusa Shiro, Tokisada, and the Assassin.

But while Joan was preparing herself, she was also curious.

Even her privileges were kept secret, so how did Roland know about the ambush?

"Higher, farther, and a wider field of vision are what commanders and conspirators need - so there is no need for you to be curious about these things, because if I lose my field of vision, then I will not be able to maintain my current composure."

Joan of Arc was shocked when she heard Roland's words.
