"No, no, no, no, no, help me, I want to go back!"
"I will never come to this damn place again. Run, run!"
The army collapsed. No one wanted to confront such a behemoth, not to mention the ferocious aura that came towards them, which almost made them think that they had returned to the barbaric era of the survival of the fittest, and that they were the prey at the bottom of the food chain.
The hunter standing in the formation cast a murderous look at them, the black battle flag in his hand fluttering, and the black bird pattern embroidered on it seemed to swallow up the crimson and gold that symbolized Rome.
"Catch up, one who doesn't—"
"No! Stop chasing me!" The man's words were interrupted. The young emperor, who was deeply shocked by the tragic scene before her, finally came back to her senses. She covered Shuoyue's mouth tightly to prevent him from continuing.
"That's enough! That's enough!"
Shuoyue stopped giving orders, and his golden-red eyes locked onto the Master who was trying to stop him. He felt her palm and even her entire body trembling slightly.
In those emerald eyes, there was gratitude for surviving the disaster, as well as unrelieved sorrow.
He looked down and saw that his black and gold windbreaker was stained with blood, the color was dark and unclear, and the blood from the wound flowed down the exposed skin, forming a blood scab that had not yet coagulated.
In front of him, the emperor, who was as beautiful as a rose, had loose golden hair and scars from battles on his body.
——In her hands, three Command Seals emitted a warning light.
Really?" Finally, Shuoyue's eyes softened, he gently broke free from Nero's arm, and the black Xuanniao flag in his hand turned into a spirit and disappeared.
"Then declare victory, Your Majesty."
Nero looked at the smiling Shuoyue and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Hum! Then I hereby declare that we have won! We have defended the capital! The glory of victory belongs to me and your beloved Rome!"
The mad blood color faded from the eyes of the guards. They looked at each other, and finally cheered together with Nero:
"Oh!!!"
In the noisy crowd, there was only a white-haired man smiling calmly, like a bystander who had nothing to do with the matter.
"Let me put it this way. The rest of Rome is in a critical moment. The once great empire is now fragmented."
On the way back to the capital, Nero began to talk to Shuoyue about the current war situation:
"On one side is the orthodox Roman Empire that I rule, which is centered on the capital, Rome. On the other side is the United Empire that suddenly appeared without any warning and was led by several "emperors" including me. Those guys called themselves the United Roman Empire and took away half of the empire's territory."
"Hmm, I see." Shuoyue nodded after pondering.
Things were just as he imagined. Now he was not heading to the Moon Holy Grail War, but arrived at another world line, the second singularity of Fate/Grand Order, the Empire of Eternal Madness.
Just, why?
Looking at the Rose Emperor who was not riding a horse but walking side by side with him, Shuoyue was lost in thought.
According to the reminder of the Destiny Atlas, he came here because of the call of fate and his own attraction.
The call of karma is obvious, it refers to the summoning of his Nero, but what about the self-pulling?
In addition, why was Nero judged to have a connection with him? Even if there was, it should be something that would only happen during the Moon Holy Grail War. Could this connection include the future?
If this is true, then the skill of 'Endless Wish' might be more troublesome than he imagined...
"By the way, I haven't asked you in detail yet, who are you?" Nero spoke, interrupting Shuoyue's thoughts.
As a Servant, she did not follow the normal rituals for summoning, so naturally she did not know the relationship between the Servant and the Master. Moreover, the two met for the first time in the midst of chaos. Nero was almost in despair at that time and had no choice but to believe in Shuoyue. She had no time to get to the bottom of the matter.
And now that the battle was over, she finally had time to ask this mysterious man about his true identity.
Who is this man who descended from the sky like a savior and helped her out of the siege? Where did he come from?
Is he just helping out, or is he a loyal comrade?
Can I trust him? Or should I use him like a double-edged sword and be on guard?
Sitting high on the throne, Nero had so many things to consider.
"I am..." Shuoyue subconsciously wanted to answer, but when he saw the three Command Seals in Nero's hand and recalled Nero's eyes at that time, Shuoyue overturned his previous thoughts in an instant and spoke again:
"It doesn't matter who I am. I am just a complete nobody who follows your wishes and protects you."
Without waiting for Nero to respond, the white-haired man continued:
"I will leave after I escort you to a safe area."
"Ah?" Nero tilted her head. After realizing what Shuoyue meant, her pupils dilated and she subconsciously exclaimed at the city gate:
“Ehhhhhhhhh——!”
Chapter 223: Two Lost Command Spells, Guarding the Coastline
She has a beautiful and outgoing face, a petite and hot figure, a slender waist (personal measurement), a curvy figure, and she is quite understanding of people's feelings and wears a translucent skirt designed to reveal her underwear, which is full of feminine charm.
Can Dai Mao Wang do it?
To be fair, no one can refuse to bow down to this emperor. Even if they cannot pick this fiery red rose, anyone would be motivated to see such a pleasant scenery every day.
However, the man who valued freedom more than his lower body and even thought about cutting off Nero's hand at the beginning was obviously not included in this list.
To him, this young girl emperor was more like a shackle than a Master, and more like an obstacle than a partner.
From the very beginning, his purpose was contrary to that of anyone in this world.
"Are you leaving now?" Like a little girl who was about to be abandoned, Nero clutched the corner of Shuoyue's clothes, his emerald eyes full of reluctance.
Although she still didn't understand how he appeared, she could already feel the connection between herself and this man.
Even if she didn't have such a feeling, she couldn't let go of this famous general who came down from the sky and rescued her from prison single-handedly.
Today's Rome is in great need of generals who can lead troops into battle.
"I can give you the highest reward! Treasures, territories, and even beauties! Umm, you just need to follow me wholeheartedly, and I will share the glory of the Roman Empire with you!"
"how about you?"
Eh? "
Shuoyue looked at Nero who was in a daze, and a smile appeared on his lips: "You just said that 'beauty' is also one of the rewards, right?"
"Then, can you, who is as beautiful as a rose, be given to me?"
The man's words, which were not true or false, made Nero's cheeks flush red. He turned his face away and did not dare to look at him:
"I... I am indeed the Flower of Olympia... but I am also the Emperor of the Roman Empire. Yes, I am the Emperor! How can I just leave it like this, like this... Not now..."
"Yeah, I understand."
Nero was stunned by the bland tone. She turned back to look at Shuoyue, but found that the man had his back to her and walked away as if he had lost interest:
"You are destined to be the emperor above everyone else, but I am not your subject. Make no mistake, Nero Claudius."
"At least here, we are destined not to be on the same path."
Seeing that Shuoyue was about to leave, Nero suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart, causing her to shout without caring about her manners:
"I order you to stop!"
A line on the back of his hand lit up, and in front of Nero, the man stopped as if imprisoned. He turned his head reluctantly and saw a girl in a crimson dress striding forward and grabbing his collar:
"I am the one who holds the power of the Glorious Empire. Do you want to disobey my orders?"
Without waiting for Shuoyue to answer, Nero continued angrily: "In that case, I will exile you to the frontier of the empire and have a legion supervise you personally. You will just accept the punishment there!"
"This is an order, no disobedience allowed!"
Under the emperor's order, more than 4,000 soldiers filed out and followed a certain man's footsteps as they walked further and further away.
The petite and beautiful young emperor climbed to a high place and looked into the distance. The setting sun spread across the skyline and fell on her skirt. The breeze from the Mediterranean Sea blew up her golden hair, and her whole body was dyed a romantic golden color.
Thinking about it now, even she herself was surprised at her reaction at that time. The so-called quick thinking was nothing more than a trick that was almost unreasonable, just like a child who was given a piece of candy and begged others to play with her.
And the man actually agreed.
Nero sighed slightly.
It is true that the Roman Empire's front line is under pressure. Even with the help of servants from the mysterious East and the Queen of Britain, the empire's territory is being swallowed up bit by bit. It is also true that they want Shuoyue to stay. A general who can scare the enemy into fleeing without a fight with only a few hundred people must never be let go.
But in the final analysis, does this wish come from the emperor's concern for state affairs, or is it the result of a young girl's persistence in not wanting her prince charming to escape?
After standing there for a long time, Nero walked down the city wall with a dull look on his face and went to the palace to deal with the piles of government affairs.
In her hand, the only remaining Command Seal shone with a faint light.
After using his spiritual power to order the soldiers to march quickly, Shuoyue finally arrived at his destination the next day.
This place is Pisa, located north of Rome. The reason why the soldiers from the Roman United Empire were able to break through Nero's blockade was because they gave up breaking through the positions of the Apennine Mountains and the Alps, avoiding confrontation with the Roman army, and took another route by crossing the sea.
According to Nero, most of the Roman Empire's military forces are now stationed in Gaul south of the Alps with generals such as Boudica, acting like a natural barrier to keep the invasion of the United Empire out. However, this also means that there are no troops stationed along the coastline. Originally, the emperor still wanted to lead the army in person, but after the surprise attack, her guards were severely injured and had to return to the capital to take charge.
Therefore, the task of guarding the coastline was half requested and half forced upon Shuoyue.
He ordered the soldiers to pack up the baggage and tidy up the camp, while Shuoyue himself sat in the makeshift tent, thinking about the next course of action.
First of all, this is the second singularity, the Empire of Eternal Madness. The time point should be before the arrival of Chaldea, because servants such as Boudica have been summoned and joined Nero, and the Roman United Empire has also invaded the capital Rome, forcing Nero to lead the army in person.
When the Chaldean group arrived at this singularity, they happened to see Nero fighting the enemy at the gate of the capital. The time point should be not long after this.
So, what to do next has been confirmed.
"First, before Chaldea arrives, that is, before Nero realizes the true meaning of the Command Seals on the back of his hand, use up all the Command Seals."
Thinking of this, Shuoyue recalled the two orders Nero had just given.
One command made Shuoyue stop, and the other ordered him to garrison at the coastline - Nero probably didn't realize that Shuoyue agreed so rashly, but the price was the consumption of two Command Seals.
There is only one shackle of power left that has imprisoned Shuoyue.
The man with bloodshot eyes walked out of the tent, looked at the starry sky, and whispered to himself:
"Don't blame me, Nero. This is just a fleeting dream."
But even in this fleeting dream, there is only one treasure worth pursuing by Shuoyue.
"Holy Grail." Shuoyue uttered the word firmly. Having fully experienced the mystery of the Holy Grail, the desire in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Even though the Holy Grail here was Goetia's creation and was just a concentrated block of magic power, and even Gary himself still had more than forty of them that he had not used, its magical value was still beyond imagination.
This is enough concentrated magic to create tiny singularities. No one can refuse such a treasure.
But if Shuoyue wants to pursue the Holy Grail, it means that he will become enemies with the Roman Empire, Chaldea, the Roman United Empire, the Demon Pillar, and all the camps in this singularity.
Don't talk nonsense about saving the world. There are so many worlds that have been cut off. What does a person's burned world have to do with him?
Instead of wasting time thinking about this, you might as well think more about what to do with Miyu. The world she lives in is far more dangerous than it seems.
"Therefore, I absolutely cannot follow Nero. Only by getting out of her sight can I fight everywhere without restraint, develop rapidly, and eventually become the third largest force in this singularity."
Whispering his thoughts of rebelling against the Emperor (Master), a black black bird flag appeared in Shuoyue's hand. The black flag symbolizing the virtue of water fluttered in the night sky.
"With the help of this spiritual foundation, my goal will be achieved soon."
As early as on the march, Shuoyue learned the reason for his own abnormality through the Atlas of Destiny.
His spiritual basis is not himself.
When I was writing this chapter, I was thinking about Shirou's abuse of the Command Spells in the early stages of FSN... Now the situation has reversed, and it's Nero's turn to start playing around without knowing anything (laughs)
