"Surrender, you Venetian bastards!" A standard pirate roar. Alvin felt sorry for mistaking them for Genoese. Perhaps it was because the emperor was far away and the country was high. These Genoese were actually doing this kind of business in a remote corner.
"You've made a big mistake." Alvin responded, "Remember, never recognize the wrong person. Swearing like that will lead to extinction of the species."
The captain immediately slashed at Alvin's head with the dagger in his left hand, but Alvin was prepared. He grabbed the captain's wrist and twisted it. The captain obviously didn't expect the other party to have this trick, and he lost his balance! Alvin tripped him and tripped him headfirst into the water tank under the deck.
"Help, sir! I can't swim!" The ferocious cry turned into a pitiful wail in an instant.
"Then you'd better learn it before you become a pirate."
While chatting and laughing, he killed two people who rushed up. He caught a glimpse of the two sailors who had just come down to fetch water. They successfully grabbed the buckets and filled them with water. Now more and more crew members have been involved in the firefighting work, and the fire will be under control soon.
But the battle at the stern was getting more and more intense, and the sailors rowing the oars had been forced into a desperate situation. Alvin knew very well that the Genoese pirates did not want to let the ship burn down, so that they would not get any spoils. Therefore, they did not interfere with the crew members who were fetching water to put out the fire, but instead used all their energy to capture the flagship of the Invincible Fleet.
By the way, this flagship seems to have been converted from a merchant ship...
At this moment, he suddenly found some unlit torches piled in the hatch below the deck, so he grabbed one, lit it, and threw it at the pirate ships with all his strength. He kept throwing torches at the opposite pirate ship, and by the time the Genoese realized what was happening, both pirate ships were on fire!
"Strategy No. 19: Remove the firewood from under the cauldron!"
Alvin's behavior was unexpected, but it also had a miraculous effect. After a long period of attack without the captain's command, the guys finally began to panic and scrambled to the edge of the deck. The sailors and guards took advantage of the situation to regroup and fight back. They picked up all the weapons they could find - sticks, short swords, hatchets, rope bolts, in short, everything that could be used was used.
Fifteen minutes later, the pirates were driven back to the Veneto - the escort ships finally arrived after sinking other targets. The grappling hooks were cut off one by one by the axes, and the burning ship was pushed away by the sailors with long poles. Captain Balto roared a series of orders, and with the help of other ships, the situation on the Veneto was finally under complete control.
After everything was ready, the crew began to clean up the blood and bodies on the deck. The sailors fished the Genoese pirate captain, who was soaked like a chicken, out of the reservoir and brought him to the deck. The guy was so depressed that he almost collapsed into a puddle of mud.
"You'd better disinfect the reservoir." Alvin teased the captain. Then the pirate captain was handcuffed and shackled by the sailors and guards.
"It was really unlucky. The other five ships were sunk by the escorting ships, and only the flagship had such an incident."
"If things can be properly resolved in Constantinople, you can easily seize the land here from the Genoese."
"Your fame will be known from Genoa to Constantinople." The captain praised Alvin a little. "When we reach Constantinople, every street will know about your achievements. As for the rest of the journey, just relax and leave it to us!"
"Oh, I can't really 'relax'." Alvin responded with a smile. "Those who have their heads tied to their waistbands don't care who you are. Besides, there are too many small islands here. If we slow down, we will be in trouble."
"Uh... yes, you're right." Thinking about the consequences of his "relaxation" just now, Captain Balto was speechless. "Yes, we should always stay alert."
"That's the truth..." Alvin sighed thoughtfully.
PS1: The Demon King's letter is indeed sinking, but compared to this, Ah B is becoming less and less concerned.
It’s time to publicly try the “uncle” who got double yellow numbers using a stone number.
PS2: QJ was expelled from school for cheating on the exam, but he was only placed on probation. He is so amazing!
Chapter 055 This battle is for revenge
It was past twelve o'clock. In a room in Anatolia Castle, they had been discussing this for nearly three hours after receiving the intelligence sent by the undercover agent in Constantinople.
"This is the consequence of losing Fort Rumeli. The Byzantine forces are recovering their lost territory at an astonishing speed. If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid those 'special' enemy generals are among them."
Hector told the truth very cruelly.
"There is no solution to how to deal with the Byzantine servants."
"The only ones who can fight against Servants are Servants. Oh, what a hassle."
Nero looked at the map and thought that Constantinople was like an isolated island in the vast ocean. However, anyone who had led troops in a war could see that as long as they could win once, even just one victory, the situation would be reversed.
"The situation is so unpredictable that it's hard to laugh. Sigh... Although the Heroic Spirit is actually a second life, I didn't expect that I would stand on the enemy side of Rome this time..."
Seeing Nero like this, Ritsuka thought of Boudica at the second singularity. Fate really played a big joke on her.
"Humans cannot defeat Servants. Sending the army there would only lead to their deaths."
"So we have to do it ourselves?" Elizabeth said. This was the only feasible solution.
“The question is who will command the troops stationed in Anatolian Castle, that is the question.”
"Leave it to me," Hector said. As a Trojan prince, he seemed very experienced in this situation. "Deal with the battle appropriately while maintaining the maximum manpower. As long as they are willing to listen to my command, there shouldn't be any problem."
But having said that, for the sake of their religion, they will probably rush forward shouting Allahu akbar, but they will still die in the end. "
"Ugh......"
Mashu quietly looked at the time on her wrist. Tonight would most likely be a sleepless night. At this moment in Rumeli Castle, Leonidas I and Boudica were wearing night clothes and counting the mercenaries participating in this operation at the door.
"I'll leave the work of clearing the way and attracting people to the fortress to Boudica. Mr. Leonidas, can you go straight to the fortress itself?"
"No problem, Boudica. I'm sorry to bother you in every way, but according to intelligence, among the troops that supported the Anatolian Fortress a few days ago, there was a man who claimed to be Nero Claudius..."
Boudica understood what Leonidas meant. The things between her, Rome, and Nero Claudius were not so easy to explain, so she forced a smile.
"I try my best."
"Please make protecting your life your first priority, Boudica!"
"......Um."
So, what kind of mood was I in when I defended the city for the last Roman Empire in the world?
At three o'clock in the morning, when Li Xiang and the others, who had temporarily taken a break, could no longer hold on and were going to rest, the footsteps of the guards outside the door came from the ground, from far away to near, from small to large.
"General Hector! It's an enemy attack!"
"What is the size of the enemy?"
"They launched the attack when we were changing shifts. The situation is not favorable for our army!"
"Mr. Hector—!"
He looked back and saw a different expression on Mashu's face, the kind of expression that only belonged to new recruits.
"Please allow us to fight, uncle."
Ritsuka took a step forward.
"Are you sure?"
"exactly."
"Well, come back early, uncle still needs to prepare breakfast for you."
Looking at the figures rushing out, Hector, who was worried, asked Nero for help.
"Your Majesty Nero, please take good care of those children."
"That's really what I wanted to say." The primordial fire appeared in her hand. Although it looked strange, the power contained in it should not be underestimated.
"Those are the soldiers I brought with me."
They arrived at the camp, which was already a sea of fire. Enemies dressed in night clothes were fighting with the defenders. They were originally planning to go to provide support, but they were targeted.
—In Ritsuka's words, it was a group of eight twin crystals, Ophelia wrote in her diary.
"doctor!"
"No doubt about it. It's a monster created by magic. It's probably the work of an enemy Servant or a magician."
Or Rafe Lionel? Romani asked himself.
"No, I just want to ask when it will end!"
"I have detected a magical reaction from someone who is neither human nor Servant. Ritsuka, another puppet has appeared!"
Looking at the endless stream of earth puppets, Ritsuka and Ophelia, who were already sweating profusely, stood back to back and gasped for breath. Even if these guys would break into pieces at the slightest touch, the human wave tactic could still drown people.
"If, if there is a next time, I must bring Senior Akagi Hinako with me..."
"——Think of a way to break out first, Ophi!"
"I will defeat them, Master. Please give me your orders."
"Break out, Mashu!"
Nero was jogging with the Primordial Fire in her hand. Just when she was about to join the battlefield, she was blocked by someone.
"......In fact, I have imagined the scene of our first meeting many times."
She took off her hood, revealing her fiery red hair and emerald green eyes.
"To be honest, I was getting impatient waiting, but fortunately you didn't let me down. This boring wait is now worthwhile."
"It's you--"
Nero had heard of her name, but he didn't expect to meet her here. She showed a guilty look, and this message was captured by her who was blocking the way.
"This reaction is as expected... Like a rose, the emperor complements Rome beautifully."
"Tell me your name."
"Remain......"
"You're not going to speak? Caesar Julius said that even on the battlefield, one needs to be eloquent. Or are you going to fight me without even telling me your name? Is this the attitude of a Roman emperor? Is this the attitude of someone who conquered Britannia?!"
A sword appeared in her hand, which was another treasure she possessed:
Sword of Boudica
An ordinary one-handed sword is neither the Holy Sword of the Stars nor can it promise any victory. It is just a sword of unfulfilled wishes.
Now, the sword was unsheathed again, and facing her old enemy, she pointed the sword straight at Nero.
"Come on, tell me who you are."
"Nero. I am the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire. My name is Nero Claudius."
After Nero finished speaking, he also raised the Primordial Fire in his hand. There was no longer confusion in his eyes, but they were more determined.
"Very good, now that you've given me your name I can't just sit there and wait for death." She also struck the same pose.
"Boudica, the fighting queen of Britannia, long time no see, Nero Claudius."
Chapter 056: Just the Master's Mission
"As expected of a Saber-class Servant, you are truly an exceptional Servant."
Although she was at a disadvantage, Boudica remained calm and composed. Facing the enemy in front of her, she remained calm. She still remembered that she was the one making a feint attack. By now, Leonidas I was probably dealing with the people inside the Anatolian fortress.
"I have to keep dragging it out," she said to herself.
"I am truly impressed by your courage, strength and beauty. Boudica, I am truly sorry for what happened."
"Then, have you experienced that kind of despair? The atrocities committed by the British Governor Suetonius, imposing heavy taxes, abusing the people, suppressing the beliefs of the druids..."
At this point, she burst into laughter.
"That's right! These are all what I went through! And you! It was just a hypocritical punishment! Did the people of Britain get any compensation? Let me tell you, nothing! Nothing at all!"
"For our homeland, we have already given up half of our territory! But why, why..."
Boudica exploded with all the magic power in her body and for a moment she overwhelmed Nero. Perhaps because he felt guilty, Nero did not seem to have exerted his due strength.
"—tell me why I do this!"
Nero was knocked away fiercely. This was the first time she was in such an embarrassing situation. In terms of data and spiritual foundation, she was much better than Boudica, even by a large margin, but now she was losing ground.
"Now I finally have the chance, Nero Claudius. Now I am the one who defends Constantinople, and you——"
"You will destroy her with your own hands! This city that the world desires!"
The Holy Grail is a wine cup used by Jesus and his 33 disciples after he sent away Judas Iscariot at the Passover dinner before Jesus' crucifixion on the 11th day of Nisan in the Jewish calendar in AD.
It is said that as long as one obtains the Holy Grail, all the Servant's wishes will be fulfilled.
I am dead, but I am still greedy. However, I have my reasons for fighting. I also want the Holy Grail.
——For revenge.
"......Let's get back to the point. I'm serious this time, the Emperor of Roses."
On that day, she swore revenge to Andrast, the ancient British goddess of victory, and corrected the attack on the target she hoped to defeat. This incident became her own deed, and it became a correction only for targets belonging to Rome. Nero, who was unaware of this ability, suffered a great loss.
"Because of my duty as a castle defender, I haven't exercised for a long time. Of course, the same goes for this sword. It would be a pity if I didn't swing it often."
Nero could feel that Boudica's magic power had increased again. Now she didn't have time to think about why Boudica had so much magic power, but to think about how to take on this move.
"Take it, Sword of Boudica!"
"This is why you fail, Boudica."
In the blink of an eye, the golden theater spread out. This is the absolute imperial circle where Nero can realize her wishes. Through magic, the theater "Doraemon" that she designed and built in Rome during her lifetime was reproduced. Thus, a battlefield that is favorable to her can be created.
"Appreciate my talent, listen to the thunderous applause! Then praise, praise this golden theater! The glorious empire [Laus Saint Claudius] sung by the virgins!"
