The Gond people had obviously practiced with muskets frequently, and their speed in reloading was astonishing. Furthermore, they hadn't opened fire en masse just now; some Gond people had even pulled out a second musket from their dimensional pouches.
However, Brave was quietly crouching down, taking the opportunity to avoid the muskets, and getting farther and farther away from the battlefield.
Emiya had already swung his arm back, ready to bring the mountain-like hammer down on the Grand Duke of Silver Shield. But feeling the danger of being targeted by the arquebus, he ultimately changed his plans.
Emiya felt that there was almost endless power in her body, so much so that she felt that it would be a waste to use this weapon to attack ordinary Gond people.
But this is the path they chose themselves, so there is nothing much to say.
Emilia said calmly, "If you think I'm bluffing, you should fire at me now. Perhaps my immunity to arquebuses is simply due to a protective spell. Dispel magic will not only remove the protective spell from me, but perhaps also destroy the hammer completely, thus exposing my lies."
"If you believe what I said is true—with all due respect," Emilia said now in a serious tone, "you should kneel down and admit your mistake immediately. You are still the Master Craftsman of Gond. As long as your attitude is sincere and thorough enough, perhaps your fate will only be punishment or exile."
"This really is the last chance."
Silver Shield didn't answer, but shouted angrily: "Fire!"
Amidst the slight hiss of the tinderbox, Emilia also began to cast a spell: "...Steel Wind Slash."
The massive hammer suddenly glowed with a lavender glow, and the heavy weapon danced in his hand like a feather.
Emiya's figure was so fast that he almost disappeared from everyone's sight. Only the storm caused by the Thunder Hammer swinging in the air showed the trajectory of his movements.
The next second, five steel storms rolled in five different directions at the same time.
Almost at the same time, the fuse entered the barrel and the gunpowder began to ignite.
So, when Emilia appeared again, the heavy hammer of thunder rolled in front of these derelicts of duty at the most dangerous moment.
It was clearly just an ordinary blow, but the storm it stirred up was like a storm sent down by Talos, the god of storms himself. Just standing in front of the storm, these priests were almost swept high off the ground.
However, the Thunder Hammer did not directly attack the priests themselves. The heavy hammer's target was the barrels of the matchlock muskets in their hands.
The steel barrel carefully forged by the people of Gond was deformed and bent like mud in the face of Thunder Hammer, and the muzzle was completely blocked in an instant.
At the same moment, the storm also penetrated into the bottom of the arquebus.
The smoke powder in the barrel was burning more vigorously than ever before, and the air inside was expanding at an unimaginable rate. But this time, the air had no way to escape—the Thunder Hammer had completely destroyed the barrel.
Sealing, a weak external structure, and rapidly expanding internal pressure.
The structure produced by the combination of these conditions is commonly known as an explosion.
"boom!!!"
Dozens of simultaneous sounds of shattering steel echoed in every corner of the Silver Shield Mansion. All the lit arquebuses exploded at Emilia's blow. The meticulously crafted muskets were transformed into the most perfect fragments.
The high-speed flying metal fragments were instantly accelerated to the extreme, and the sealed barrel completed its function of acceleration. However, this time, the fragments were no longer aimed at the barrel, but at their owner instead.
Countless screams rang out at the same time - the musket was aimed very close to the head, so the fragments had a devastating effect almost immediately.
The most tragic priests were almost immediately struck by shrapnel through their eyes and into their brains, and immediately collapsed to the ground in a pool of their own blood. Other priests escaped death on the spot, but also suffered severe head injuries, with bright red blood gushing out from broken blood vessels.
Perhaps it was a coincidence. The priests who died on the spot were the ones who had most actively responded to the devil. As they died, the red clouds in the sky immediately thinned.
However, the other injured priests were not in much better condition - their heads were almost full of vital points, and almost all of them suffered fatal injuries.
The few priests who had managed not to ignite the fire cried out in alarm and immediately began to try to save the situation. But they were dismayed to discover that their previously invincible magic had somehow lost its effectiveness. The positive energy they channeled was also far less than before. To the point where they would have to burn through all their magic to save their brothers and sisters.
But for the other survivors, what was even more shocking was Emiya's attack method.
Blocking the muzzle can block attacks, a fact known to everyone. However, a blocked muzzle of a matchlock gun will cause the rapidly expanding air to have nowhere to escape, eventually causing the barrel to explode, causing great damage to the user. This is not only not common sense in Faerûn, but is actually a secret of the Gond Church!
Behind the priests who fell like wheat stood Brave, who was too tall to hide anywhere. He swallowed hard and shouted at the Silver Shield Grand Duke, "Remove the forbidden spell!"
Now is the time to run as much as you can!
Silver Shield continued to bless himself with divine arts, increasing his aura, but his expression was extremely bitter: "I tried a long time ago. However, I lost control of it. I can't dispel it."
At this point, anyone who questions Emiya has lost their brains.
This is more like a descent from the gods than gaining the power of the gods.
But what is even more unfortunate is that even if the people present realize this, few have room for further maneuver.
Braif gritted his teeth and immediately planned to throw a final fireball towards the direction where Apodel and the others were gathering. However, this time, Emiya simply threw the Thunder Hammer at Braif.
Such a heavy hammer would require a lot of physical strength even to swing. At the same time, the initial velocity of the throw would inevitably be severely limited, and it would not fly very far, making it impossible to use as a throwing weapon.
But Emilia didn't seem to realize this. He stood still, not even taking a running start, and simply threw the Thunder Hammer at the devil as if it were a throwing axe.
This kind of posture shouldn't have any special power. However, in Emilia's hand, the heavy hammer still flew out at a rapid speed like a ballista.
The sledgehammer instantly grew to infinite size in the demon's sight. The demon attempted to swing his own hammer in a final stand. However, the immense force of the hammer easily shattered the hammer's head into a discus, which then struck Brave hard on the forehead.
This time, the sledgehammer hit the flesh hard.
Then, the hammer of thunder brought the sound of thunder, and the flesh turned into a ball of minced meat.
Amidst the deafening roar of thunder, only the remains of the devil's body below the neck fell silently to the ground and turned into dust - the devil's soul floated towards hell.
At almost the same moment, to the east of Baldur's Gate, a rainbow that spanned the entire sky descended from the sky, illuminating the dark outer city with its colorful light.
Apodale's breathing suddenly became smoother. He looked up and saw that the red clouds in the sky had almost dissipated.
Amidst the roar of thunder, the magnificent glass of the Silver Shield Mansion shattered simultaneously. After experiencing continuous flames and shocks, the once magnificent building was dilapidated like a ruin about to collapse.
Then, the sledgehammer, which probably weighed nearly a hundred kilograms, flew back lightly at the same speed and was easily held in Emilia's hand again.
After doing all this, Emilia turned to the Grand Duke of Silver Shield again.
"Grand Duke Silver Shield, if you know you're wrong, you must admit it, face reality, and don't deceive yourself—these are important truths that even children have heard until their ears are callused."
Grand Duke Silver Shield's lips trembled, and he finally raised his head and said, "What's the point of admitting a mistake if there's no chance to correct it?"
"You yourselves don't even believe in the mercy of your Lord God..." Emiya shook her head. "How did you behave under the glamorous circumstances? That's why you developed such habits."
At this moment, Silver Shield's body had expanded to several meters in height under the influence of numerous divine arts, while Emiya still maintained her normal size.
Emilia was clearly looking up to the master craftsman of Gond, but he seemed to be taller than the master craftsman of Gond.
Amy's voice had become thicker and more angry, making it sound a little distorted. "Thorlin, do you have any last words?"
Thorin Silvershield's entire body trembled, and he finally asked, "...I want to ask, why did you punish us only at the last step?"
Emiya's voice became increasingly unusual, as if blending in with the voices of others. "I've been hesitating. Your initial actions weren't overstepping the boundaries. But as you grow stronger, do I have to expel most of the church just to eliminate you?"
"As for this moment, the reason that prompted me to make up my mind is actually very simple - if you can only choose one between you and Emilia, then I choose to give up on you."
This final answer made Thorlin's eyes widen in disbelief. He raised his head and laughed bitterly, "We are your priests! We may have selfish motives, but we have dedicated our lives to the Path of the Craftsman! Have you finally decided to abandon us completely for an outsider?"
"Foolish! Gond is the patron of all craftsmen, not just the people of Gond. Besides, I didn't give up on you. I simply gave this brat a thunder hammer in the form of a dancing sword. It was his own ability that defeated you, but his magic just happened to mimic my power. If you can't defeat him, it's your problem, not mine."
This answer made Thorin almost laugh. He shook his head and swung a final blow at Emiya as if giving up on himself.
This strike carried the full force of a priest. Even a true swordsman would not dare to confront it head-on.
Emiya simply swung her thunder hammer again, and the fantasy machine behind her raised its arquebus once again.
Thorin, who had transformed into a giant several meters tall, attacked with all his strength, and the hammer collided with the thunder hammer.
"boom!!!!"
Amid the deafening explosion, Thorlin's body stiffened slightly, and then he vomited blood and flew out like a kite with a broken string. Before his muskets could be ignited, they rolled to the ground one by one.
At this moment, Emiya, or the person possessing him, did not continue to attack, but stretched out his hand with his palm facing up.
As if they had heard some call, all the holy emblems of Gond in the Silver Shield Mansion floated up slowly from the bodies of the priests without wind, abandoning their original owners, and fell into Emiya's palms one by one like birds returning to their nests, and finally disappeared.
As the holy symbol left his body, the divine arts on Thorin Silvershield suddenly shattered, as if they had never touched him. The fantasy machine behind him dissipated into thin air like bubbles. His body, originally gargantuan due to the divine arts, silently returned to its original form, and his arquebus rolled to the ground.
At the same time, time seemed to have returned to Thorin. The once robust Thorin Silvershield seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant, his body suddenly becoming weak and his skin becoming loose.
Finally, Emilia snapped her fingers, and all the silver shield family crests shattered.
Emiya slowly walked to his side and said coldly, "Thorlin. Paladins are not the only ones who lose their power by straying from their own path. Your ambition is too great."
Thorin Silvershield laughed bitterly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "...But please understand. Not every Silvershield member is corrupted."
"...Humph, Shiji II doesn't seem like your daughter at all. She's completely different from that brother running around in the High Hall. You previously told her you were going to marry her off to Apodel, which scared her into running away from home. She's still staying in the Gear Workshop now—was that something you did on purpose?"
The Silver Shield Duke's lips moved, and he finally said, "...Yes."
"You're still trying to bet on both sides in the end." Gunde snorted coldly while using Emilia's body.
Then, everyone felt that some power disappeared from Emiya's body.
Emiya's body swayed and she regained her balance.
He blinked and shook his head.
The feeling just now was very strange - there was clearly someone else living in my body, but it didn't feel like a puppet, but more like some kind of fusion.
...or perhaps it was because Gund, the god of craftsmen, had only used Emia's mouth this time. He truly didn't exert any power at all...Emia had truly used the dual-weapon effect from beginning to end.
However, Gunde hid a Thunder Hammer for his own use under the shell of the Dancing Sky Sword, which in itself was a great favor, so he couldn't say anything more.
But anyway, it's all over.
Thorin Silvershield has lost all his power, and even with Gond gone, he is no match for Emya.
He smiled bitterly, raised his family crest, placed it on his chest, and said while spitting out blood, "...Do it."
Emiya shook her head.
He had already put down the Thunder Hammer and was holding a Silvershield family crafted matchlock. After confirming that the bullet was still in the chamber, Emya pointed it at Thorin Silvershield's head and lit the matchlock with a trick.
"boom!!!!"
105 War on the Eastern Front
Just yesterday, this head had the final say in Baldur's Gate, but now, everything it said leaked out of the top half of its head.
Emiya pursed her lips, turned her head away, and drove the red and white mixture on the ground out of her sight.
He would never use this kind of killing method that damaged the body again... Even though he already had many dead souls under his command and was no longer afraid of killing, he was not yet to the point of being willing to accept the mutilation of human limbs.
The victorious wizard turned around, his sledgehammer raised high. "Listen up, everyone of the Silver Shield family! Throw aside your weapons and bullets, kneel on the ground with your hands behind your heads! I'll count to three! If you haven't laid down your weapons and surrendered by then, your clan leader will be your example!"
"one!"
Before he could even finish his words, the sound of weapons falling to the ground became continuous, and all the survivors knelt on the ground without hesitation.
"call……!"
At this moment, Apodale looked up at the thin red clouds in the sky and let out a long breath.
The boiling divine blood within him finally calmed down a bit. He hadn't fully recovered yet, but he was finally no longer a completely immobile invalid.
Emilia glanced at the pile of muskets and hesitated.
Dealing with prisoners has always been a challenge, but it is especially so now.
It looked like the fighting in the outer city was still going on fiercely, so it was really not the time to leisurely deal with prisoners and spoils.
He was reluctant to massacre the captives, but if he let them go, he knew these people would not wait patiently for punishment, and he was afraid that they would inevitably take away all the tribe's property.
Although he did not love money, he still felt somewhat unwilling to let such a large sum of wealth be taken away for nothing by someone who should have been punished.
But the duration of the split between the two weapons is limited, so how can he find someone to watch over it now?
Just as he was hesitating, another small group of people rushed into the ruins.
They wore the large hats that were characteristic of the people of Gond and wore the holy symbols, but without the unsightly silver shield emblem.
The people of Gond who are not members of the Silver Shield family.
They simply glanced in astonishment at the mess on the ground of the Silver Shield Mansion, then shouted directly to Emilia and Apodel, "Gentlemen! Master Craftsman Gutenberg has asked us to help look after the Silver Shield family. The Master Craftsman promises not to take any spoils. He simply hopes to control the impact of this incident!"
Gutenberg is completely different from Silver Shield... He is obsessed with maintaining the reputation and image of the Gund Church, and the things he does to achieve this can be described as pedantic.
But at least it is much more credible than Silver Shield.
As if worried about not being able to gain their trust, they hurriedly said, "—The other comrades have already gone to the outer city to provide support! The master craftsman is leading the team himself!"
This is finally good news.
Emiya took a deep breath and said, "Then we will prepare to go to the outer city immediately."
After finally escaping the danger of death, Sig rubbed his hands reluctantly and shouted, "If after we finish fighting, we find that the Silver Shield family is only a few pieces left, then just wait! We will definitely go to the Supreme Miracle Hall to ask for an explanation!"
"That's natural, that's natural!"
****************************
The battle in the outer city of Baldur's Gate was even more brutal, bloody, and physical than the one in Silver Shield Mansion.
