Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

"But the Masters of both the Red and Black sides are damned dead, and the ones on the Thousand Worlds Tree side have all had their Command Seals lifted and are locked up - so the other party is the Master of Einzbern!?"

Sieg was surprised for a moment, then he narrowed his eyes.

He is a little paranoid, but he is not stupid.

"The other party has the ability to cause trouble to the Thousand Worlds Tree. If that's the case, this picture might have been left behind by the other party on purpose, and the Command Seal was also revealed by him on purpose. It's hard to say whether the Command Seal is real or not, and this might also be a trap..."

Sieg analyzed this and then let out a long breath.

"...But we have no chance of winning on the expeditionary side. Rather than being stuck in a stalemate like we are now, we might as well break into the opponent's trap and take a gamble!"

He said this and then looked at Semiramis.

"Let the expeditionary army deploy a defense line. At least let them and Adam work together for a while to hold back the Einzbern army for a while. Then summon all the other Heroic Spirits and rush to the enemy's location as quickly as possible. Even if it is a trap, if it is a battle between Heroic Spirits, we are not without a chance of winning!"

"And where Jack is is our territory. We can quickly set up defenses and positions along the way to prevent the enemy from providing assistance!"

What Zig said makes sense.

Because they are now facing the Einzbern Army, their main disadvantage is that the Honkai equipment provided by Roland contains excellent large-scale defense equipment that is specifically designed to defend against the Heroic Spirits of both the red and black sides from releasing large-scale treasures!

Otherwise they wouldn't have been beaten so badly!

But Jack's location is their territory, and there must be no defensive equipment - by then, all the Noble Phantasms of the Heroic Spirits will be released, and their chances of winning will be greatly increased. 0.......

What's more, that place is Romania. For Vlad III, he has a local bonus in Romania!

But the most important thing is...

Sieg had been struggling with the issue of how many heroic spirits to detonate.

But what troubled him was that if he couldn't achieve a large amount of results in one go, it would be difficult to explain if he needed the power of other heroes afterwards.

And the timing of detonation is also a problem.

He wanted to detonate all the Heroic Spirits like Astolfo, kill the opposing Hercules and the like, and then have Heroic Spirits like Achilles, Siegfried, and Karna continue to help...

But it would be easy if you fell into this kind of trap.

The other party is most likely planning to use the power of the silver knight to defeat them in one wave. That would be the best time to detonate these heroic spirits!

Even if the heroic spirits of both sides died together, it would still be his advantage!

That's what Zig thought.

The paranoid him never considered the heroic spirits of the red and black sides as human beings from the very beginning. In his view, these guys were just pawns to carry out his plan.

So he probably didn't know that for someone like Semiramis who grew up almost in an environment of palace fighting, even if she really didn't know about Honkai energy, Sieg's performance in many places would make her guess.

Even during this period, after Semiramis had figured out Sieg's personality, she had a better understanding of what he was thinking of and what he was planning to do.

She was like this, Vlad III, Atalanta, Avisbronn, Chiron, Karna... They all had their own discoveries to a greater or lesser extent.

Maybe even Achilles noticed.

Only people like Frankenstein and Astolfo would still have no clue.

However, neither the red nor the black heroes said anything about this.

Especially Semiramis.

After hearing Sieg's arrangement, she just nodded slightly, then smiled and carried out Sieg's arrangement.

Because part of what Sieg was thinking was right.

The place where Jack was was indeed a trap set for Sieg.

It’s just that the components of this trap...may be a little different than what Sieg thought.

....

190. The Hooked Mouse

Roland had no intention of bringing Jack into the group of gods.

Because Jack, who was summoned in this Holy Grail War, is essentially a vengeful spirit composed of children who were abandoned and died due to the immature abortion technology at that time.

She has a confusing but clear personal agenda.

Brutal and pure.

Although Roland did not intend to stand idly by and watch her current situation and let her continue to exist as a vengeful spirit, he also did not intend to let her become a member of the group of gods.

This group of gods is not suitable for her.

Because for Jack, if you start talking about the beauty of peace, giving her nice clothes, delicious food, a comfortable environment, excellent friends... that's not saving her, but forcing what you think is good on her and forcing it on her without paying attention to her own wishes.

That kind of behavior is too self-righteous.

It's totally self-satisfaction.

But if Jack is asked to make the choice directly now, that would also be self-touching.

Because helping others make choices is not a good idea, and letting a resentful spirit who has no values ​​and does not know what is good or bad make his own choices is irresponsible.

Therefore, she still needs to be arranged a job that allows her to do what she has been doing. Then, after she meets more people, experiences more things, and gradually establishes her three views, she can be allowed to make some choices on her own.

Then

"It just so happens that Alaya is dealing with those parallel world collectors recently, and 08 is short of people. You can deal with your problem first, and then go to Alaya to work as a temporary worker."

Roland looked at Jack who had turned into golden light dust, and greeted Alaya and Gaia.

Then Jack's side is considered done.

Next...

Roland looked towards a line of defense.

Over there, a team of heroes from both the red and black sides, led by Sieg, was rushing towards their location.

After confirming that the other party had arrived, Roland smiled.

"It's OK, not too slow, and I didn't waste my time."

He took out his pocket watch to check the time, then adjusted his hat and walked towards where Sieg and the others were.

Before Sieg and the heroic spirits of the red and black sides arrived at the town, he ordered the expeditionary force to delay the attacking force led by Iskandar at all costs.

He also left a lot of Honkai energy traps along the way, just to prevent other Einzbern people from coming to help!

Then, with such preparations, Sieg was still extremely careful when he arrived in the town.

"There's not a single person... It looks like the other party made a lot of preparations when he chose this place as the battlefield."

Sieg sensed everything around the town and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could sense that there were spells to disperse the people in the town, spells to create barriers, and even spells that seemed to prevent environmental damage...

In short, it's just a bunch of messy techniques.

These techniques made him know one thing clearly.

"The other side may have someone who is very good at barrier techniques."

As he said this, the sudden sound of footsteps made him look directly over there.

Because of the magic technique used to disperse the people, the surrounding houses and alleys were all quiet, so when footsteps were heard on the main road that crossed the entire town under Sieg's feet, the not-so-loud footsteps were particularly obvious.

Sieg looked over, and the red and black heroic spirits standing behind him also looked over.

Then Roland, wearing a long black trench coat, a gentleman's hat, and even holding a cane, appeared in everyone's sight.

One of his hands was wearing a black glove, and the other was not, so the bright red Command Seal was directly visible.

When Sieg saw Roland and the Command Seal on the back of his hand, he recognized it.

"Those Command Spells are not fake, they are real!"

"I think the opponent should be one of the Masters of Einzbern... Although I don't know which Heroic Spirit the opponent is the Master of, but even if we can only get rid of one, we will win!"

If Sieg's original idea was true, and this place was really the trap chosen by Einzbern as the final battle, then the heroic spirits on the expeditionary side should have rushed here long ago.

But the fact is, none of the traps he left behind were triggered, and the long-range spells left on the expeditionary force's side also fed him information that none of the enemy's heroic spirits had left, so the expeditionary force had been defeated.

This undoubtedly caught Zigg off guard...

His plan to detonate the heroic spirit and end the war in one fell swoop failed.

but.

“Although the expeditionary army was defeated, the essence of this war is still a war between Heroic Spirits - so no matter which Heroic Spirit’s Master is the other side, as long as we capture the other side and obtain the Command Seals, then we will not lose this battle!”

Sieg said this, then he took a few steps towards Roland, stood in front of all the heroes, and raised his voice.

"Hey, you, I didn't expect you to be the bait sent by the Einzbern side!"

"I thought there would be a big battle here, but I didn't expect you to lure us here. However, your companions just took the opportunity to defeat the expeditionary force and had no intention of saving you at all!"

Hearing what Sieg said, Roland stopped and smiled.

"Yeah, I didn't ask them to rescue me. Just like my mission was to deal with Jack's problem and lure you here, their mission was to completely eliminate the expeditionary force at this time, so there is no problem, right?"

Sieg closed his eyes but nodded.

"Indeed, for the overall strategic deployment of Einzbern, if your goal is just this, then you win - but..."

Having said this, Sieg opened his eyes again and looked at Roland with extremely sharp eyes.

"...This plan has undoubtedly failed for you personally, because if nothing unexpected happens, your life will end here!"

Sieg's words were very powerful, but Roland just smiled and shook his head after hearing them. His smile was so obvious that it made the atmosphere around them, which had originally become serious because of Sieg, a little more cheerful.

"Whatever you say, I have no intention of arguing with you. After all, I already know almost everything about you. My initial plan was just to use you to get to know the guy behind you better. But now I have 680 answers to this question."

"Then dealing with you becomes a matter of convenience. Just like now, when I came here to deal with Jack's problem, I brought you here."

As he spoke, Roland spread out his hands and shook his head at Sieg.

"It's that simple...so stop talking nonsense and get started."

Seeing Roland like this, Sieg frowned and issued a cold order.

"Do it!"

As he spoke, he heard movement behind him. It was the sound of Heroic Spirits taking action, but it sounded like only one Heroic Spirit was taking action.

Sieg was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but he did not show it because it did not matter. These heroic spirits all had their own pride. Now there was only one enemy, who was at least just a magician on the surface, so one heroic spirit would be enough to take action.

As Sieg was thinking this, the voice approached him.

puff--

The sharp blade pierced his chest, causing blood to spurt out!

Sieg turned his head in disbelief, and saw that Semiramis smiled at him after stabbing him in the back.

Behind Semiramis, although some of the other heroes had unhappy expressions, none of them stopped Semiramis!

At this moment, Sieg understood Roland's confidence as bait.

He also understood what the other party's trap was made of.

Roland is indeed a bait, but not a discarded pawn.

He is the cheese that is hung in a safe place to lure the mouse into taking the bait!

And I... am the mouse that has taken the bait!

....

191. Roland: You made the wrong move from the beginning

boom!

Following Semiramis's backstab, Sieg fell down directly, and Semiramis drew out his sword and walked towards Roland's position, while the other heroes from the red and black sides also walked towards Roland from the left and right sides respectively.

Sieg lay in a pool of blood, slowly raising his hand towards Semiramis' back.

"...Why?"

Sieg is the collector of parallel worlds. He was brutally collected to the point of being extremely paranoid, so he will not give up or feel relieved just because he is dying.

Now he is using Honkai energy to heal his core parts, and is also judging the distance between himself and those heroic spirits. At the same time, he is also preparing to use such conversations to interfere with their judgment, making them feel that they are really dying and are no longer a threat.
