So fast! Fergus's eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape.
He originally thought that Scathach had just taken in a disciple on a whim after making a contract with the Master of Chaldea, and was deliberately showing off there, but it seemed that he had made a wrong judgment.
Because Fergus didn't see Xijian's movements clearly, the young man had already appeared behind him.
This is not an ordinary human Master at all.
Maybe Finn didn't "give in to the old man" at all, but gave the toughest bone to Fergus.
"That's just what I want!" Fergus laughed and exerted force to drive Xijian and his gun out of the dangerous distance.
But when Shiomi was tumbling in the air and was about to fall back to Scathach, four long swords suddenly condensed from the newly frozen ice and shot towards Fergus.
Swinging the sword again, smashing the four ice swords, Fergus glanced at Scathach.
He originally thought that it was Scathach who was providing support, but it was obvious that the other party had not entered the combat state at all. She kept holding her gun and looked like she was watching the battle leisurely.
In other words, the magic just now was also the work of Shiomi.
Don't underestimate it. Fergus's expression suddenly became solemn.
After the initial test, Shiomi landed again and made contact with Kallen.
"Karen? How's the situation over there?"
"Two servants have appeared here, Lancer Finn McCool, and Saber Diarmuid Odinar." Kallen's voice came.
"Diarmuid?"
Xijian was stunned. He didn't expect to see a familiar face again, but this time his class was Saber, which meant that his weapons were the legendary Giant Wrath Sword and Micro Wrath Sword.
And they appeared together with Finn. This legendary master and servant pair actually appeared together and fought as Celtic generals.
One can sense the enormous magical power from Fergus, which is definitely not something a lone servant can possess. In other words, the three servants who appeared have all made a contract with someone.
Is it the Mad King? Shiomi pondered in her mind, but there was no answer.
"Master, can we get rid of you and go to support Kallen? I'll take care of Fergus—"
"There's no need, Dad. I have the five servants who just met here, and Nightingale is also planning to join us with Rama." Kallen said.
"What?!" Xi Jian was dumbfounded.
He had told Nightingale to drive away with Rama if they saw a battle, but she turned around and went to the battlefield carrying the wounded.
"There's enough combat power over there. If we're really worried, we might as well end it quickly." Scathach showed off her gun skills and took a step forward, apparently not intending to continue leisurely enjoying the battle.
Shiomi took a deep breath and smiled confidently, "I'm very happy to be able to fight with Master, but can you let me show off my growth to you once in a while?"
"Growth? You've shown off enough in the past two nights." Scathach teased in a low voice.
"Not that kind of thing!" Xi Jian almost burst out laughing. He didn't expect that his master would still have the mind to joke on the battlefield.
Scathach smiled and put away her spear: "I can't help it. Since you said so, I will just stand by and watch. If it takes too long, I will take action."
"Well, let me confirm for now, you're not going to come and deal with me, right?" Xi Jian's mouth twitched.
"Let's wait and see." Scathach smiled softly.
At this moment, Fergus jumped down from the hillside: "On the battlefield, you still have the mind to look around!"
He held the "Spiral Sword" upside down with both hands and stabbed it heavily downwards. Shiomi, who was turning his head to talk to Scathach at this time, would undoubtedly die under the sword.
This might make him a mortal enemy of Scathach, but Fergus is not afraid.
Just when his sword was less than one meter away from Shiomi, the other party turned around and revealed a cunning smile.
A chill suddenly ran down the back of Fergus' neck.
Chapter 58: Elusive
The mind's eye (truth) refers to the insight that a soldier develops through practice and training, which enables him to always calmly grasp his own situation and the enemy's capabilities and find a way to survive.
When Fergus was a Servant, this ability was ranked A, which is a very rare level.
And this skill has now saved his life again.
When Fergus turned around to block the oncoming spear, he showed a look of shock.
It was Shiomi who launched this attack.
What followed was a tricky pincer attack from both sides. Fergus had to spin his body and swing his sword wildly to break through the two attacks and land on the uneven ice surface.
Ordinary people would have to be careful walking on the sharp ice surface even if wearing shoes, but Fergus, who only had straps on his feet, remained calm and walked as if it was flat ground.
"Two people?" Fergus was slightly puzzled.
Xijian gently shook his index finger and made a clicking sound: "Two people? No, I think I can defeat a hundred at a time, so... dealing with five enemies at the same time shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Amid the slightly sarcastic voice, Fergus saw three more Xijian Tianxi walking out from the shadows all around him, completely blocking Fergus's retreat route from five directions.
"I see, using magic to create a clone that is as powerful as the original." Scathach looked at the scene suspiciously, "I don't remember teaching you this kind of magic-"
Then, he must have learned it from the witch in Britain. She understood.
Shiomi's speed was incredibly fast to begin with, and with the help of short-distance teleportation magic, with five people attacking him together, even with his excellent mind, Fergus quickly became overwhelmed.
Normally, he should find the original body immediately at this time, but as Scathach analyzed, the ability of each clone would not be much worse than the original body. Coupled with such a high-speed battle, Fergus soon could not distinguish between the original body and the clone.
Not only that, different teams are made up of different people, and there will be differences in the degree of unfamiliarity and proficiency in coordination.
Because there is only the original body and the clone, there is only one way of fighting, and the cooperation between them is perfect.
Gradually, Fergus's muscular and strong body was covered with scars of varying sizes.
He looked at the red spear blades that were coming at him like a tide, and couldn't guess when Xi Jian would use this sure-kill treasure, so -
"I didn't expect that I would be pushed to this point. If this continues..." Fergus dodged the three guns that were thrown down and laughed excitedly, "It will only make me more motivated!"
As he spoke, he raised his great sword: "Release the Noble Phantasm!"
Then the "Spiral Sword" spun down and pierced into the mottled ice.
"Caladbolg!"
Rainbow Sword, also known as Rainbow Spiral Sword.
It is actually a wide-area anti-military weapon. According to tradition, it has the power to cut through three hills with just a swing of the sword.
The Nameless Guardian projected it as an arrow, which had deviated from its original usage.
The rotating sword burst into colorful rainbow light, tearing the earth and ice apart. Scathach also jumped up and landed at a higher place farther.
She looked at the battlefield on the other side of the town. The battle there was gradually becoming more intense. After all, there were only two servants, and Finn and Diarmuid were in a slump.
Will she continue to fight to the death, or make another choice? Scathach pondered secretly, and retracted her gaze to look at her beloved disciple on the battlefield below.
The clones were released by the true name of the Rainbow Sword, and were sucked into the huge magical power and disappeared one by one.
"...Three, four..."
Fergus counted the disappearing figures and looked at the last one left.
"five!"
After the release of the Noble Phantasm, the frozen town was in ruins. Fergus took advantage of Shiomi dodging the Noble Phantasm and while she was unstable, he rushed out with the greatsword and stabbed towards Shiomi's body without hesitation.
The thick "Rainbow Sword" pierced through his chest, and blood splattered everywhere.
"That's it," Fergus confidently declared victory.
"This is the red spear my master gave me. It's called - 'The Spear That Pierces Death'!"
The death-like voice sounded again. Fergus felt something was wrong and dodged sideways, but found that he was unable to move in the middle of turning around.
At the end of the blind spot of vision, Fergus saw the reason clearly.
The first gun sealed off the space he was in, and the second gun was heading straight for his heart.
The one whose chest was pierced by the Rainbow Sword and whose blood was scattered everywhere was just a clone.
Shiomi had already hidden himself in the melee just now and released his fifth clone.
What he was waiting for was for Fergus to release his treasure in order to reverse the situation, and when he thought he had caught them all and let down his guard, he would launch a fatal attack.
At the critical moment, even Fergus felt that he was doomed to fail.
A two-legged flying dragon rushed out from the side and crashed into Shiomi.
But once Zhu Qiang releases his true name, the kill will become a foregone conclusion, unless one has extremely high luck or an intuition that can dodge instantly.
Unfortunately, although Fergus' luck was slightly lower, only C, but with his top-notch mind and the help of the flying dragon to block the first gun used to nail Fergus in space, it was barely enough.
Xijian dodged the flying dragon that was charging at him, rolled backwards to avoid it, and looked at the red spear that slipped out of his hand.
Unfortunately, Fergus managed to avoid being pierced through the heart by Zhu's spear and was only stabbed through.
Fergus grabbed the dragon's claws and flew high into the sky.
“Sir Fergus!” There were two flying dragons in the sky. A blond man riding one of the two dragons spoke up. “The timing is perfect. The battle situation is not favorable. Let’s retreat today.”
Squinting at the other two people, Shiomi recognized Diarmuid, who was dressed slightly differently, and immediately realized that the other person was Finn.
Their surprise attack had failed, and now they were outnumbered and had no intention of continuing the fight.
Fergus covered his chest which was bleeding profusely and rolled over onto the dragon's back.
"You almost died here. You accepted a monster-like apprentice, Queen Scathach." Fergus glanced at Scathach, who had a mocking look on her face. "It was such an exciting battle with your life hanging by a thread..."
Diarmuid looked at Shiomi and raised the blood-red sword in his hand in surprise: "I didn't expect to see you in such a singularity. I even brought records from other places with me... Then next time, I must challenge you with this pair of magic swords."
"You're welcome anytime." Xi Jian raised his hand and the red spear flew back into his hand.
The three turned the flying dragon's body around and prepared to evacuate. Xi Jian knew that they could no longer stop it, and if they went in too deep, there might be a large Celtic army waiting for them.
Then Fergus turned back and said with some difficulty:
"...By the way, since you are so brave, I will reveal the information you just asked for..."
Chapter 59: Magic Power Replenishment
Fergus left two pieces of information.
One of them is the place where Rama's wife Sita may be imprisoned. Its name is Alcatraz Island, commonly known as Devil's Island, which is one of the most famous prisons in American history.
The second is the real culprit of this singularity, the mastermind behind the Holy Grail, who created the monster Servant of Mad King Cu Chulainn, whose name is Queen Maeve.
"If this is true, then the situation may be worse than we expected."
Shiomi used a branch to stir the fire in front of her, and skewered the fish she had caught from the river and slowly roasted them.
"That's why we have this battle plan now." Scathach leaned against Shiomi, her tone quite relaxed.
After obtaining these two pieces of information, Shiomi made the following arrangements.
Kallen led other servants and made a feint with a large force to attract the attention of other Celtic main forces and servants, forcing the Celtic army, whose headquarters was in Washington, to send out more of its existing main forces.
In addition, some of the lone servants that Scathach had previously recruited will also reunite with Kallen and the others during this period.
Shiomi and Scathach took advantage of the moment when Washington's main force was empty, sneaked into the enemy base, and attacked Maeve who was holding the Holy Grail.
Because it was uncertain whether Cu Chulainn would leave the main camp due to the feint, Shiomi and Scathach acted together to deal with the two-on-two or even two-on-many situation that could arise at any time.
"So, Cu Chulainn... should Master go to get Senior Brother's head, or should I go?" Ximian looked at the campfire expressionlessly.
"Whoever has the chance will have his head taken." Scathach smiled helplessly.
This thousand-mile raid plan involving only two people reminded Scathach of the last days before Shiomi left the Shadow Kingdom.
Scathach had already taught him everything she knew, and there was nothing new to teach him, so Shiomi often left the castle for her to defeat those fully formed "death" monsters.
However, in many cases, these expeditions would result in the master and disciple working together.
The situation this time is very similar, the only difference is the target of the crusade is different.
"Ah."
Shiomi nodded slightly and turned on the map projection generated by the instrument on his wrist.
Now they were still two hundred kilometers away from Washington. If his teleportation magic had not marked the destination, he would not be able to teleport accurately.
Therefore, he could only rely on his feet and magic to run at an inhuman speed.
"So far, except for the Celtic warriors who were in a stalemate with Edison's mechanical troops in the north, the rest of the troops have all headed towards the feint troops in the south. At this moment... they are probably already encountered near Dallas in the south." Shiomi thought about the current situation.
