The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing

"That is the Round Table Fortress located at the junction of the desert, mountains and wilderness. The guerrilla knights outside will imprison the captured enemies in that fortress. I cannot rush into that heavily guarded fortress with my own strength.

I am asking you to rescue two girls, the last human master and her servant from Chaldea. Lord Merlin once told me that you know everything that has happened in this world. If I have nowhere to go, I will come to look for you. "

"…Merlin?"

The request made to Bedwell did not exceed Manshu's expectations, but he was a little surprised that Merlin mentioned him.

“That guy might be planning something, but it doesn’t matter. I know about your situation.

I need to rest for now, you can go and rest here with Hassan over there."

Chapter 18: Fortress

"Lord Aguwen, it is sad that our attack failed, Lord Mordred lost her life, and the enemy suffered no loss."

In the center of the Cretaceous City, which had been completely repaired and restored to its holy appearance, the three returning Knights of the Round Table reported on the progress of their mission before the throne.

"You mean the rebels of the mountain resisted the attack of the four Knights of the Round Table and even caused the death of Mordred? There is no such a powerful force among the rebels..."

Faced with the unexpected battle report, Aguiwen frowned and asked in disbelief.

"There is indeed one person among them who can do this. He was the one who destroyed the outer perimeter of the Holy City with the lightning of divine power a week ago. It seems that he joined the rebels in the mountains and intercepted us when we were about to reach the West Village."

"Is it him? This sudden heroic spirit is unpredictable and does not exist in the intelligence. But he should have been in the desert a few days ago."

As an assistant officer, Aguiwen has been dealing with city operations and intelligence matters, but he is helpless when faced with the heroic spirit that suddenly appears.

“The man’s star flickered and faded, unpredictably and so quickly that it was only now clear that he had left the desert and reached the mountains.

Get ready to march towards the mountains, my knights. The worrying scene is still happening. The people of the mountains have undoubtedly gathered together and will become a threat to the Holy City like the Sun King. This threat must be eliminated before the Holy Lance enters its final stage. "

The Lion King in front of the throne spoke, and there was no dispute among the Knights of the Round Table in front of the throne.

"Yes!"

……

"You are actually standing guard outside the door? Although the abundant rain will heal the cost of the arm you use, which was forged after Nuada's silver arm, it will only soothe your burning body."

Manshu's resting place was naturally the temporary base built in the village. It was a very quick thing to replenish his magic power on the spiritual land.

After Manshu recovered, he sensed that Bedivere was standing outside the door of his position.

"A short rest is of no benefit to this body. My friend is in the cage and his fate is uncertain. It makes me feel uneasy. Being here can make me feel at peace."

Bedivere just waved his hand, stood up straight and said.

"It's not worth spending too much effort on just a fortress. The Knights of the Round Table just suffered a defeat. There should be only four beasts in the fortress at most. There is a knight. I will give you power. Send the conquered beasts to accompany you."

There are only four Knights of the Round Table left in the Holy City. In the fortress far away from the Holy City, not all knights would be stationed there.

However, as a fortress with a large number of Orthodox Knights and Holy City soldiers, it is indeed impossible for ordinary servants to break through the defense of the fortress when there are no Knights of the Round Table in charge.

Not to mention that sometimes the Knights of the Round Table do appear in the fortress, and it is unlikely to rush in without multiple Servants.

"O eleven beasts whom I have conquered, please appear before me in your bestial forms.

Vipers, wyrms and sphinxes, giant lions, mad dogs, scorpion men, powerful lion-monsters, flying dragons, centaurs, with their merciless weapons, enter the battle fearlessly, and march forward with these eleven categories.

Mansu used the magic power of the spiritual land directly on the spot, exerting his power in the position, and summoned all the eleven sons of Natiamat conquered by Marduk except Lahmu.

Ferocious monsters were born from the rippling air one after another, all of them had a very terrifying aura, and they were undoubtedly divine beasts that surpassed demon beasts, fantasy beasts and dragon species.

Yet it was not the vanquished that were called, but monsters which still retained the form of the sons of Tiamat, including the terrible wrathful serpent, which did not assume the sacred form of Marduk and his son Nabu, but only the form of a dragon.

Breaking through the barrier of the round table would not require the highest level of skill. At least creating the angry snake and the seven-headed Mushumahu would require some effort and time.

Of the Divine Beasts that were being summoned before him, the weakest of them could at least fight against a first-rate Servant without a Noble Phantasm, and the three-horned dragon was undoubtedly a monster powerful enough to fight against a Heroic Spirit and slaughter Servants of average level.

"They actually summoned ten divine beasts in one go. I have only seen such a scale in the desert. With this kind of power, they should be able to rush into the fortress and rescue the people."

Although Bedivere was not worried about the extent of help Manshu would provide, he was quite satisfied with the current scene. He carefully reached out his hand to touch the mad dog Ulidim in front of him.

The terrible hounds did not move at all, but just stood there quietly waiting for the conqueror who called them out to give orders.

"Knight of the Silver Arm, I entrust these conquered beasts to you in the name of Marduk. Just command them to accomplish whatever you want."

Manshu transformed Marduk's power into a small stone tablet in his hand and threw the stone tablet to Bedivere, allowing him to use it to command the many mythical beasts he summoned.

"You just need to wear that thing on your chest. Hassan, you have been looking at me, hesitating and unable to move forward. I allow you to step forward and express your desire."

After S Manshu finished explaining to Bedivere, he turned his head and looked to the other side.

oThe Curse Arm that was waiting aside immediately appeared and jumped out of the ravine nearby.

u "I was going to wait until Bedivere finished talking to you before disturbing you. I came here to ask about the fortress built by the Round Table that Bedivere was going to."

S Curse Wrist spoke.

U: "Then you can discuss it among yourselves."

O Manshu did not stop and walked towards the mountain behind where the garden was being built.

"Among the old men who were summoned here, one was captured by the Knights of the Round Table not long ago. I and another old man have been trying to find out the information about the fortress, but unfortunately none of the spies we sent out came back alive.

⒉ Sir Bedivere, I know that adding one more person and one more rescue target will undoubtedly increase the difficulty. I hope to act with you. If an unfavorable situation occurs, I can also be used as a discarded pawn to disrupt the enemy's sight."

9Cursed Arm Hassan looked at the many divine beasts that were summoned nearby and said politely.

"Ah, Mr. Hassan, you don't have to be so polite. Since there is another Hassan imprisoned in that fortress, as long as he is still alive, I will definitely rescue him. The construction of this village and the fortress not far away still needs you."

Zero Bedivere said quickly, willing to take on the task.

"No, your attire might give people the misunderstanding. Let me participate in this as well. This is also the job of us old men in the mountains, and I can't help at all.

There isn't much going on in the village of San, and I can't help much in building the fortress. Another Hassan will come with all the people of West Village in a day, and nothing will go wrong with her around."

The leader of the Village of Wuxi is Hassan the Hundred Faces. She has countless personalities and a wide range of professional skills. She is indeed more useful in construction than the Cursed Arm.

⑥Hassan the Hundred Faces possesses a skill called Encyclopedia Mastery, which allows her to demonstrate proficiency above B level in the thirty-two types of professional knowledge she knows.

4 Bedivere did not refuse and agreed to go with Curse Wrist. He held the stone tablet carrying Marduk's power given by Manshu and placed it against his chest.

It was as if the stone slab was strung together by an invisible thread, and the stone slab was naturally worn on Bedivere's chest. The stone slab was not big, so it looked like a necklace.

As soon as Bedivere put the stone tablet on his chest, the ten summoned beasts immediately turned to Bedivere and knelt down before him respectfully.

……

"Hmm... I can indeed vaguely sense it. It seems that Amon's power cannot be stopped. There are more people who are looking around here."

After taking a look at the general progress of the construction of the Sky Garden, Manshu went to the top of another nearby mountain and stayed in an uninhabited space.

He was carefully examining his surroundings, and even examining this devastated land.

Looking up at the desert, the terrible sandstorm still permeated the land, making it difficult to see clearly, but the magic in the air in that land seemed to be a little stronger than before.

Although there was no close contact, Manshu was indeed aware of this matter. Was it because after the Hedgehog ４ folding and purchasing agent ∩ ≠: ㈧, ５ ⒎ tumour ６ = ３ ⊙ ⑷ 思 >″ ２ festival, did it bring more mystery to this land?

Manshu was only slightly curious about this and planned to explore it further the next time he went to the desert.

Once the Hanging Gardens are completed, we will definitely have to go to the desert.

Looking towards the direction of the Holy City, there is still only the bumpy ground and the tower at the end standing on the earth.

From there, one could also feel some eyes observing Manshu's position. It should be the EX-level clairvoyance possessed by the Lion King observing here.

However, what is somewhat strange is that in the deep pits created by the bombardment of the Holy Judgment initiated by the Holy Lance, someone has erected something like a tombstone.

That shouldn't be something the knights of the Holy City would do. After all, it's a meaningless act.

Without much gain, Mansu withdrew his gaze and returned to the site where the Hanging Gardens were being built, and began to ponder how to effectively use the power of Marduk.

Since we want to complete a slightly modified sky garden, it can't be exactly the same as the sky garden of the empress.

At least the firepower cannot really be limited to the eleven black coffins. In an ordinary Holy Grail War, such firepower might be enough, but here it might be difficult to even hurt Gawain.

Why not try some traditional stars in the Sumerian system? Since they were going to build a temple to Marduk, they might as well build a door to the starry sky and let Jupiter fall from the sky.

This should give you a decent amount of firepower, and allow you to consider what else you can add.

After all, the Tower of the End erected by the Lion King was undoubtedly a pure tortoise shell when completed.

From the city gate to the Wall of Holy Spear, at least Osmandis's ten consecutive electric balls that burned his spiritual base and the firepower of the grave collision were not so easy to deal with.

Manshu stayed here and slowly conceived his ideas, trying to make models for testing.

……

"We're here, and in front of us is the fortress of the Round Table."

Cursed Arm and Bedivere saved a lot of time by using the mythical beasts as their means of transportation, and it only took them one day to reach the fortress of the Round Table.

At first glance, there were about a dozen people patrolling on the city wall, but they were all ordinary soldiers.

"It looks like the soldiers here are on alert. Is it because of the news of the defeat of the Knights of the Round Table?"

Hassan the Curse-arm went to the vicinity of the city wall to gather information about the surrounding area. The not-so-small figures of those mythical beasts could not be concealed.

“Well, in the event of the failure of the Round Table, both the fortress here and the Holy City should be more vigilant.

But we are not going to sneak in secretly, let's just attack head-on. Soldiers can't stop the power of the beast. At least most of the knights in the fortress must be dispatched to hold me back. Then, I'll ask Hassan to sneak into the cage and release the people to be rescued."

Bedivere stretched out his hand and began to command the divine beasts beside him, telling them to prepare to attack.

"Leave this matter to me. I'll climb over the city wall first."

Hassan the Cursed Arm nodded, immediately blended into the darkness, and rushed towards the fortress.

"O conquered beasts, in the name of the god Marduk, destroy the fortress ahead and attract all eyes and attention."

Bedivere also raised the stone slab on his chest, and the mythical beasts made terrible noises, then rushed forward in a frenzied manner.

"What's going on? Is it the monsters in the desert that have rushed out? What should we do?"

Hearing the terrifying noises made by the mythical beasts, the soldiers patrolling on the city wall actually fell into a state of panic.

"Calm down!"

It was not until a knight came over and roared that they were calmed from their fear.

"Be prepared to meet the enemy. What appears is not an ordinary magical beast, but a very high-level monster!" Hiss

The sound of the alarm soon spread from the fortress, and the knights and soldiers in the fortress woke up one after another, picked up their weapons and rushed to the city wall.

The deafening roar was enough to wake up the fortress, but what followed was a sound that shook the entire fortress.

The huge storm demon Ugarlu directly brought the storm to the fortress wall.

Soldiers who were unable to stand still even fell directly from the city wall and were torn to pieces by the mad dogs and scorpion men below.

The knights also organized their first round of attack at this time. Longbows as tall as a person fired a continuous rain of arrows, and various defensive weapons were thrown out.

While the city walls were bustling with activity, Hassan the Cursed Wrist sneaked into the depths of the fortress to look for the location of the prison cell.

Chapter 19: Gluttony

Without the stronghold of the fortress walls, the soldiers and knights who hastily organized a counterattack would have been overthrown.

What came before him were not the sons of Tiamat who, after being conquered, had been transformed from creatures of disaster into guardians and beasts of good.

But there are still monsters that are violent and destructive, roaring and destroying the land with darkness or death.

The poison spewed from Bashum's mouth was enough to kill any warrior who was infected.

The arrows shot from the scorpion man's bow pinned the knights who came to reinforce him to the wall one by one.

The terrifying demon bull was still hitting the fortress gate. After several hits, the thick gate seemed unable to withstand the impact.

The storm-controlling demon lion continued to bring death on the city walls, just as it did when it became a servant of the underworld.

Only the mad hound caused slightly less damage and was blocked by the queue of knights, but following closely behind the hound was the terrifying lion dragon.

Just the roar was enough to strike fear into the hearts of the soldiers present, and the fear in the hearts of the soldiers who witnessed his appearance grew with each passing moment.

If the castle itself had not been on high alert and the knights had not been too lax, thus being able to assemble quickly, the fortress's defenses would probably have been breached at this moment.

But now the knights had to retreat from the outer wall, choosing to abandon the outer wall and defend the inner wall.

"This is a monster that is as big as the Sphinx of the Sun King. We can't deal with it without the adults of the Round Table."

There were defensive weapons in the fortress that served as embankment sphinxes. After abandoning the outer wall, the knights were able to gradually stabilize themselves and completely consolidate the defense.

At least they would not be defeated too quickly and could hold out for a while. They also sent out a rescue signal in the hope that the Knights of the Round Table might arrive.

Hassan the Cursed Wrist searched inside the fortress, and after finding nothing on the surface, he finally found a passage to the underground.

This didn't take too much time, and for Hassan, both searching and finding the road were quite easy.
