"I understand. It's impossible for me not to sense such obvious fluctuations."
The man called Zhang Jue waved his hand.
"Have the casters continue to add spells. Cities with ley lines don't have to worry about mana issues. East, West, Middle East, South America. No matter what, add any spells that can be added, and use them to suppress the opponent's casters, and—"
Before Zhang Jue could finish his words, the city wall under his feet was suddenly attacked.
Immediately afterwards, countless familiars emerged from the surroundings, without any disguise or evasion, and launched an attack directly on the city wall. The moment they arrived under the city wall, they immediately detonated their cores.
The shaking caused by the explosion and the smoke and dust it stirred up seriously obscured Archer's shooting line of sight, let alone hindering his shooting.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
"So what exactly is the goal—"
The giant white claws were waving wantonly, and the huge body was once taller than the city wall.
"The familiars—those familiars will fuse—where are the guards? Quickly crush them and drive them down from the city wall!"
"It's really——"
A yellow talisman paper flew out from Zhang Jiao's sleeve. In just a moment, the massive familiar, as if losing its ability to hold on, made a final struggle, trying to grab onto the wall before completely sliding down.
Then, at the moment when Zhang Jiao's attention was attracted, the Yingbao Gate shattered.
The broken rocks, accompanied by a figure, directly knocked away the team waiting for the encirclement order behind the door.
The green sword energy gathered on the big sword, then swept over everything around it, directly creating a gap.
"What an amazing power..."
Holding Balmung tightly in his hand, Siegfried activated various strengthening magics.
"That's strengthening magic, right? When was it cast?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka checked Siegfried's condition, then turned around and asked the girl who was putting away the notebook in her hand.
"While slowing down the movement to dispel the enemy's spell to create a false impression, I then rewrite and overwrite the opponent's spell and delay its activation. At the moment Siegfried hits the alarm gate, I transfer all the enhanced spells to him..."
After wrapping the notebook with the chain again and putting it away, the girl explained to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
“That’s probably it…”
"Well, as expected of the Dragon of Albion, you're really cheating. Although as the director I must solemnly thank you for all your previous help. But I'm sorry, we have more important matters to deal with now."
"Then without further delay—"
Looking at the people who had already filed into the city, Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly took his steps and ran quickly towards Siegfried.
Then, the moment she stepped into the city, the communication ended.
"Why do I always feel like Chaldea's communications are always being disrupted?"
"There's nothing we can do. After all, this is something that cannot be avoided. Miss Ritsuka, let's make a judgment based on the situation at the scene for now."
The blade smashed straight into the enemy's head, burying him into the ground. The girl nodded to Holmes and Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Alright! Everything is going according to plan! From now on, split up into two groups! One group will advance in the order of the front and rear!"
Charlemagne waved his sword to repel the enemies in front of him while speaking loudly.
"The rest of you, no matter what, must defend the gate to the death. Do you understand? You must defend this gate with all your might!"
"understand!"
The followers' response
The sound is accompanied
475
The talisman paper scattered from Xu Fu's hand rushed into the sky.
"Come on! Xu Fuqin!"
Xu Fu, who was gasping for breath, listened to Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Everyone! Work harder!"
"Looks like everything is alright?"
As Charlemagne spoke, he raised the sword in his hand high.
"Everyone, charge!"
The azure dragon breath rushed out, and nothing could stand in the way of this flame.
Be it a person, a house, or even a Noble Phantasm.
Everything turned to ashes the moment it touched the flame.
The terrifying high temperature began to distort the vision, the air was filled with the smell of burning all the time, the ground under the feet began to melt due to the high temperature, and then solidified again in an instant.
After one strike, there was nothing left on the road ahead.
All that was left was a dilapidated road leading directly from the foot to the palace.
"This is the Realm of Vengeance, the city created by Kriemhild..."
He looked around, gripped the hilt of Balmung's sword with constant force, and took a deep breath of air.
"Go forward, Master."
-
"call--"
After letting out a long breath, Zhang Jiao looked like he had a headache and kept rubbing his temples.
"Really..."
The huge magic sword was tied with iron chains and hung in the air. A strange light was continuously emitted from the sword.
The sound of footsteps slowly began.
"It's like you've finished one job and are now worried about the next one, Grandpa."
A voice with a hint of madness came out of the woman's mouth slowly in a very calm tone.
"It's a pity that the work isn't over yet, Zhang Jue."
"Ah... That's about it, or rather, the work of 'ending' has only just begun. However... an unexpected and uncontrollable variable has emerged."
"Indeed, for me, this is the beginning of things, that's for sure, but—"
The woman stretched out her voice, the light in the room kept flickering, and a huge amount of magic power suddenly burst out, causing a shock wave.
“What are uncontrollable variables?”
"I'm really angry with you for sealing Siegfried. You'd better give me a reason."
"No one is allowed to interfere with the revenge between him and me. The revenge in this realm is for this very reason."
"Yes, my Master, please see... this matter is not something I can say."
Zhang Jiao sighed helplessly, then reached out and threw out a piece of talisman paper.
The talisman paper danced in the air, and the words and patterns written on it began to glow. Then, the talisman paper itself burst into flames, and within the flames emerged the image of a girl performing a magic trick.
Kriemhild opened her eyes wide and looked at the girl's face in disbelief.
"As you can see, she has some of Siegfried's influence, as well as yours. Furthermore, her actions are so coordinated with Siegfried..."
Zhang Jue stopped talking and waited quietly for Kriemhild's next reaction.
Since you have the shadow of two people, then...
who are you?
Tell me the answer, my Master...
Just as you might imagine, I have my own agenda.
But, to do this, I must help you win this war.
So, tell me.
"This is..."
Kriemhild stretched out her hand tremblingly, as if wanting to touch the figure inside.
"...who?"
Hearing Kriemhild's words, Zhang Jiao's pupils suddenly shrank.
The corners of her mouth curled up in a strange arc, a distorted light emanated from Kriemhild's eyes, and a sad smile appeared on her cheeks.
"Who on earth are you——"
Siegfried's, what?
-
Interlude: Fifteen: Revenge Has Been Achieved
"My Master, please do not lose your composure. You are invincible. As long as you possess the Holy Grail held by Emperor Karl, your victory is inevitable."
Seeing that Kriemhild's condition was beyond his expectations, just as she had said before, for her own purpose, Zhang Jue slowly began to speak.
"That's right..."
The crazy aura disappeared slightly for a moment. As soon as the man's anger, sadness, revenge and other emotions surged in his heart, they would be completely swept away as soon as he saw his face in the firelight.
For some reason, I felt a long-lost sense of peace and joy in my heart. It was as if I had finally stood beside that man for the first time.
476
The anger was extinguished in an instant, as if any darkness would be illuminated and any wound would be healed.
Kriemhild covered her chest and slowly closed her eyes.
"Then... Zhang Jue, I don't care about your goal. It may be accomplished one day, or it may never be accomplished. But that has nothing to do with you now. At least now, you are my Servant, fighting for me. Do you understand?"
The flames gradually disappeared, and the playback of the images also disappeared without a trace along with the flames.
His eyes opened again, and his silver pupils had returned to their previous appearance. The hand holding the hilt of the sword began to slowly exert force again.
That man is coming soon.
"Ah, of course. You don't need to worry about this, Queen. You just need to focus all your attention on him."
"Yeah...it's been too long, really too long...but——"
Kriemhildr stretched out his voice.
"There's no need to stop her. I want to see it with my own eyes. I want to see who she really is with my own eyes."
"Understood. Those guys will soon enter the royal city. I will treat them well. He and she will continue to move forward."
As Zhang Jiao spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although this body is already quite old, these eyes are not yet to the point where they can be called presbyopic.
A dragon-slaying hero, a vengeful queen, a princess no one knows...
He couldn't be wrong about these things, could he?
-
A yellow talisman quietly appeared before their eyes, and everyone's forward steps stopped in an instant.
The massive barrier engulfed everyone, including Zhang Jiao himself. Only the girl and Siegfried were not inside, and they were the only ones who made no move towards Zhang Jiao.
"Sieg! Siegfried!"
Whether in a defensive or offensive posture, the two did not move at all.
"I'm sorry, but only Her Royal Highness the Princess and the hero beside her can continue on this journey."
Listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice, Zhang Jiao gently stroked his beard while throwing out a few talismans in his hand to strengthen the barrier that could only be entered but not exited.
"I see..."
Sherlock Holmes looked thoughtful as he listened to Zhang Jue's words.
"Is this your meaning, or Kriemhild's? After all, considering your background and Miss Sieg's situation, your words seem to have a deeper meaning."
"It's true that I have my own goals, but that doesn't stop me from being loyal. There's no doubt that I'm still your enemy. You just need to remember this."
