But even if they lowered their heads, the doubts still lingered in everyone's hearts for a long time.
Who assassinated Vlad III?
Is he a follower?
If he was a servant, how did he find him?
Who is his master?
"Look up, masters of the Thousand World Trees."
Vlad III's master, the patriarch of the Thousand Worlds Tree, Danic, spoke. Even though he had lost his composure for a moment, he had already skillfully suppressed his anger and shock. What appeared before the masters again was the calm face of the head of the clan:
"Our king, our archduke was attacked by an assassin and lost an arm, but there is no need to hide this! This is just an insignificant part in the fierce battle in the future! The so-called servants are the familiars who gather under the light of the Holy Grail, fight for our ambitions, and bring us victory!"
"Since we have made Black the King, even if he is destined to fight bloody battles for this honor, even if he gets injured or even sacrifices his life for it, this is his responsibility as a Servant and the King of Romania!"
Under Danic's passionate speech, the fear in the masters' eyes gradually disappeared.
Yes, only servants can defeat servants. The fact that Vlad III survived the mysterious sneak attack has proved his strength.
not to mention--
"An assassin exposed to the king's wrath is nothing more than an ant!"
Even though who this person is and where he came from is still a mystery, Danik knew that if he wanted to restore the morale of the masters of the Thousand World Trees, he had to say this and do this.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Danic, the chief of the Thousand World Trees, bowed and paid tribute to the Danic in the image. The magic power from the "Grand" magician was continuously transmitted to the distant familiar along the line of cause and effect.
"Please bring victory to our Thousand World Tree in the first Servant War, Grand Duke!"
As if responding to Danik's speech, Vlad III, who was covered in blood but still looked elegant, raised his left arm and pointed forward.
"The King of Capital Punishment!"
"The King of Capital Punishment!"
The sound of breaking wind was heard, and the rafters seemed to replace the forest itself. They surged up with unprecedented force, instantly covering the earth, piercing into the sky, and piercing towards the figure sandwiched between heaven and earth.
The muzzle of the gun spewed fire, and the bullet made of pure iron hit the rafter, smashing it to pieces, but that was only one of thousands.
Like a herd of animals attracted by the sound of gunfire, rafters poured out one after another in the direction of the assassin. The assassin held the trigger with both hands and fired repeatedly to break the sharp tips pointing at him. However, new rafters grew out from the gaps between the damaged rafters.
Continuous and endless, this is the terrifying thing about this treasure.
The rafters were not a big deal. If they were single, they would not have much destructive power, and they were also slow... but there were so many of them. The number of rafters between the assassin and the king exceeded one thousand, and they suddenly appeared from the ground, so it was quite difficult to avoid them.
Quantity - it can be said that this treasure's most notable feature is that it can deploy approximately 20,000 iron stakes. This alone is already an exceptional existence.
Among anti-military or anti-city Noble Phantasms, there are indeed some that can annihilate hundreds or thousands of people at once, but when it comes to Noble Phantasms that can kill tens of thousands of people, they are really rare.
This is because Vlad III's Noble Phantasm is not a holy sword or a holy spear, but a recreation of an actual event that occurred in history: the legend of 20,000 Ottoman Turkish soldiers being impaled on iron stakes.
Indeed, each of these iron stakes may be a trivial thing that cannot be considered a treasure. However, facing the overwhelming number of 20,000, even the steel-hearted heroes will feel an invisible sense of pressure. Although it is full of madness, it is the strongest and most impactful military demonstration. It is something that humans can never do.
Therefore, this treasure is called "The King of Capital Punishment" and is the most terrifying treasure named after its owner.
Destruction is meaningless. Bullets can penetrate steel plates and damage human bodies, but they cannot block a river.
——Especially the mighty rivers composed of iron stakes of punishment.
The safe distance was threatened, and the assassin had no choice but to run to avoid being swallowed by the "muddy current". However, no matter where the new moon appeared, the endless rafters still followed him, as if he had been driven to the guillotine, and the "King of Capital Punishment" was the happy knife of Louis XVI falling towards him.
Can't escape, can't hide.
If it weren't for the hero's absolute defense, he would have been pierced through the chest by the approaching rafters, becoming a highlight of this bloody legend.
Bang bang bang!
The gunshots became more frequent, and as the broken rafters fell, new rafters grew up in the next moment, squeezing the assassin's increasingly cramped space.
The one-armed King of the Night stood there, and the sharp rafters were his soldiers, his limbs.
He narrowed his eyes, which were gloomy with anger, and looked at the mysterious assassin jumping up and down. His heart was gradually filled with disappointment and the pleasure of killing.
Ah, how stupid it was. Not only did I have too high expectations of him, but I was actually hurt by such an ant.
For this proud leader, if he had the proud record of cutting off his right arm, the assassin should not be so weak that he could not even break through the rafters, otherwise even he, the injured one, would be laughed at by the world!
Overwhelmed by shame, Vlad III clenched his left fist. The attack of the rafters became more and more violent. If this momentum continued, the weak assassin would be pierced by hundreds of rafters at the same time - the scene would be extremely bloody and cruel.
There is also an anecdote about the Grand Duke of Wallachia known as ▉▉▉, which made Vlad III even more thirsty for blood and slaughter.
But at least now, those standing here are not those who have fallen because of the legend, but the noble and majestic heroes who have been honored by the glory of Romanian legend!
"It's just that I lost the gun in my hand! Although I am in this world, as a hero, my legend is something that you villains cannot surpass!"
The last bit of hope in his heart made Flanders III shout like this. He lifted the fallen spear with the rafters. He held the spear shaft with his left hand, and pointed the tip of the spear at the increasingly embarrassed assassin.
"If you want to prove your bravery, if you still want to maintain your hero's pride, then give up your meaningless hiding and use all your means to take off the head of Vlad III!"
"Otherwise - even if you are pierced, I will hold on to your last breath and escort you back to Mirenia Fortress to be insulted and despised by everyone!"
As a great hero in myths and legends, he was captured by the enemy in the real world and was threatened to trample on his reputation and dignity - this was obviously a punishment that no heroic spirit could accept.
Give up hiding it, use all your strength to defeat and kill this tyrannical king.
As soon as this thought arose, it was suppressed by the assassin, even though he knew in his heart that the real 'him' would never ignore Vlad's provocation, and would respond with absolute violence even if it was just a provocation.
It’s a pity that as a , what he cares about is nothing more than whether the chips on both ends of the scale are appropriate.
Seeing that the assassin seemed unaware and ignored his words, Vlad III let out an annoyed growl and swung the rafters, continuing to approach the enemy.
However, he was so focused on Shuoyue that he did not realize that the 'cleaning team' that he had slaughtered and ravaged not long ago did not escape while the assassin attracted attention, but spread out around the forest and destroyed the formations delivered to them by Shuoyue.
It has only one function——
boom!
The mysterious light flew into the sky and exploded, and the assassin who was gradually trapped in the cage of the rafters looked up, and the corners of his mouth finally curled up slightly.
The time has come.
With rainbow eyes locked onto the king behind thousands of troops, Shuoyue activated the magic circle switch without hesitation. At the same time, the magic power was released instantly, and the magic power turned into fuel, burning fiercely. The light gushed out, pushing the assassin to break through the iron wall built of rafters, and carrying him like a bullet, instantly entering Vlad's sight!
"Are you struggling in your death throes, assassin?"
Facing Shuoyue's sudden attack, Vlad III was not afraid at all. He confidently raised his spear with his left arm and said, "Then, let me grant you the supreme piercing punishment... Hmm?!"
At this critical moment, Vlad III ignored the Shuoyue attacking him and looked at his palm in astonishment.
Without any warning, his aura dropped again and again, and he fell directly from the altar of the top servant. Even the sharp rafters wilted and degenerated into a blood-stained king ghost's treasure, no longer having its original power.
This is why Shuoyue broke through the defense line so easily. It’s ridiculous that the king has not yet realized that his connection with Romania has been cut off!
"Yu's power!!!"
Before the Grand Duke of Wallachia could recover from his shock, the assassin's gun had already approached his chest, chasing the thin line of death!
"Die!" This was the assassin's second attack, and it was also the fatal blow that the servant Vlad III could not avoid!
puff!
The king's blood splattered, and under the dazzling red light, the forest returned to silence again.
Only the bodies were hung on the rafters. When the wind blew, the souls of the dead swayed on the ground, empty and seemed to sigh.
By the way, although Danic Preston Eugene is a Grand Master Magician, he reached the Grand Master position through political manipulation. He is not in the same league as Orange & Aoko, or even the later students of El-Melloi Classroom.
Chapter 384 Summon, summon, summon!
Chapter 385 Summon, summon, summon!
Milenia Fortress
The horrible smell of blood filled the entire royal palace. In front of the throne, Vlad III closed his eyes tightly, his right arm was broken at the root, and his chest was covered with blood and flesh, but his beating heart could be vaguely seen.
If perceived through magecraft vision, Vlad III's soul core as a Servant has become as dim as a broken glass bead.
Danik half-knelt in front of Vlad III, his long hair dragging on the ground, covering his clenched right fist.
On the back of his hand, there were only two traces of the Command Spells left.
If he had not had the sudden idea to let the Master of the Thousand Worlds Tree witness the power of his Servant, even if Vlad III was killed by the assassin, he, as the Master, would not have had time to activate the Command Seals to save his life.
But as a magician, it was extremely difficult for him to capture the moment when the servants were fighting. After he used the Command Seal to call back the servants, Vlad III's soul core had been injured by the blade of the fist gun, almost fatally.
Should I use the Command Spell to recover... No, it's not the right time yet. I've already been summoned. If even he can't do anything about it, then I can make a final decision.
In order to preserve the fighting power of Vlad III, he would not hesitate even to sacrifice two Command Seals.
With his back to the anxious members of the Thousand Worlds Tree, Danik couldn't suppress the gloom on his face. The nails of his right hand dug into the flesh and blood dripped.
The loss of two Command Seals before the war officially started made Danic's heart bleed.
Who is that assassin?
Why did he know so much about Vlad III?
If someone summoned a Servant, why didn't I get any news from the Greater Holy Grail? !
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts once again, Danic turned around and looked at the Masters expressionlessly.
"You have also seen that there are arrogant people who want to shake the glory of our Thousand World Trees - in this case, let them pay the price for their actions!"
"Yes!"
The order from the head of the family has been issued, and the Qianjieshu family has begun intensive preparations.
"Goodbye, and give my regards to El-Melloi II."
At the airport not far from Romania, Shuoyue said goodbye to the cleaning team that they had worked with for less than half a day before they were wiped out.
The captain was seriously injured and was in the hospital. The red-haired magician was dead. A female magician replaced their mission, said goodbye to Shuoyue coldly and politely, and boarded the plane back to London with the only five people left.
Their mission has been completed, and the remaining matters will be left to Shuoyue and the Master of the Clock Tower.
After watching the few people walk into the corridor in an unexperienced manner, Shuoyue withdrew his gaze and did not leave the airport. Instead, he sat in the hall and closed his eyes to rest.
For Shuoyue, this was his first Servant battle since his debut as , and it was quite successful.
The only regret is that the opposing master did not abide by the ethics of martial arts and locked the health of Vlad III, so that Shuoyue's fatal blow failed to achieve full effect.
As for the reason why Shuoyue found an opportunity to assassinate the Grand Duke in the end, the only thing to say is that he was the one who made him successful and also the one who made him fail.
Ghost General Protector of the Nation: EX
By obtaining the ley lines in advance, a specific area can be regarded as "one's own territory". In the battle within this territory, Vlad III, as the king, can obtain a combat power correction comparable to A-level [Frenzy]. The Noble Phantasm "King of Death" can only be used within the territory formed by this skill.
As a Turkish hero, his legendary status is not very high. The reason why Vlad III has reached the ranks of top servants in terms of strength is that before the Thousand Worlds Tree declared war, Danic led him to encircle the entire Romania as the territory required by the "Ghost General Protecting the Country".
What Shuoyue ordered the "cleaning team" to do was to use the array to separate the spiritual veins of this forest from Romania - so at the last moment Vlad III's strength dropped sharply, and the rafter barrier he built collapsed at the touch of a button, and was easily hit by Shuoyue, injuring his vitals.
Of course, before this, in order to avoid being impaled by the concept of "piercing", Shuoyue cut off Vlad III's arm when the assassination failed, preventing him from swinging the spear in his hand, which in a sense tilted the balance of the battle to his side.
Having an A-level aura barrier is dangerous enough, but what's even more terrifying is that this person has more intelligence information than the Arbiter.
Even if there is only one of them, it is an extremely huge deterrent in this Holy Grail War.
Both the Magic Association and the Thousand Worlds Tree were probably on guard and tracking Shuoyue's trajectory. However, they could never have imagined that someone bought another plane ticket under a fake identity at the critical moment of the war.
[Passengers, please note that the flight to Neon is now boarding. Passengers on this flight please go to...]
The time has come.
After finishing the deduction and planning for the future, Shuoyue opened his eyes and stood up.
He traveled to the Far Eastern island country, where he summoned his Servant, who was also the second 'Servant' of the Blue side.
This was the last preparation Shuoyue made before all parties arrived.
One day later, Shuoyue’s journey finally reached its destination.
Clock Tower, Summoning Department Director's Office
Eight-tongue 'Danique?"
"It is him, the head of the Yugdomrenia clan, Danic Preston Yugdomrenia, a third-rate lecturer, a second-rate magician, and a first-rate fraudster."
The afternoon sun was hot and brutal, robbing the room of all darkness and illuminating the face of Belfebon, the director of the Advent Department, which was twisted with displeasure and anger.
He summoned the Servants of the Holy Grail War, and in response, we must gather seven of them, fight against Yugdomilenia, and win."
The person talking to the old man was a burly man wearing a black jacket, black sunglasses, and a rough face, like an American fugitive.
It is worth mentioning that due to his overly ferocious appearance, he was interrogated by the guard magician in the clock tower, and no student was willing to show him the way... If he had not encountered a certain blond problem child who enthusiastically rescued him, it would have taken him a lot of effort to reach the summoning department.
