Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

So he answered directly: "I like you, Tom. Well, the kind of like you think."

It has never been Cao Cao Cao Mengde's style to go around in circles. Given his past achievements, there is no need to say any more nonsense.

If you want something, do it. If you like someone, just say it.

Moreover, for an experienced woman like Tomoe Gozen, speaking directly might have a better effect than speaking in a roundabout way.

As expected, after Cao Mengde said this, Ba Yuqian was stunned for a moment, and then her fair and pretty face turned visibly red.

"Master, you don't even need to hide anything? You are so straightforward..."

"No need." Cao Mengde shook his head and said domineeringly, "I never need to hide anything. That's something that only a big-eared person needs to do."

Although Ba Gozen didn't quite understand who the big ears Cao Mengde mentioned were, it didn't matter. What mattered was that Ba Gozen had understood her master's attitude.

Then the next thing is your attitude.

Did she hate the Master? Of course she didn't. Although Cao Mengde looked ordinary, he had an aura that made people want to respect him, which made it easy for her to have a good impression of the Master.

But if you say you like...

Tomoe Gozen took a deep breath and said seriously: "Master, I need to make one thing clear. The person I like is Lord Kiso Yoshinaka! Even so, do you still have to like me?"

When saying this, Tomoe Gozen was actually a little nervous.

Because this may cause the Master to become angry, and thus change his attitude towards him, becoming cold and ruthless.

Even though Tomoe felt that Cao Mengde had become like that, she was still a little uneasy. It was normal for a lord to be moody.

But she had to speak out. She was Tomoe Gozen, the woman trapped by Kiso Yoshinaka. Even if she became a heroic spirit after death, she could not eliminate the devil-like feelings.

It burns like the fire of hell.

This is the essence of (Heroic Spirit) Tomoe Gozen.

However, what Cao Mengde said next made her stunned.

"Tomoe, you've got one thing wrong. It doesn't matter to me who you like, because I can make you like me and willing to give up your obsession with being a dead person in the past and follow me as another Tomoe Gozen."

Cao Mengde said calmly: "I have this confidence."

Ba Yuzen was stunned, really stunned. She didn't expect Cao Mengde to say such a thing.

Even the emotion that was like the fire of karma actually subsided for a moment.

However, before Ba Yuzen could react, she saw Cao Mengde's face change, and then she was pushed away forcefully by his right hand, and she quickly retreated.

"careful!"

呲!

When Ba Yuzen, who was pushed away, turned around, he saw a black spear wrapped in black air pointing towards Cao Mengde.

Chapter 8: Furious Tomoe Gozen

Cao Mengde did not expect that a shadow servant would attack at this time.

He originally thought that there were no Shadow Servants in this place. Because he remembered that in the original plot, the Shadow Servants first appeared in the remains of the church, that is, the Cathedral Church.

The appearance of the Shadow Servant is also an old acquaintance, Rider Medusa.

As for the other Shadow Servants, there are about two Shadow Servants near the Fuyuki Bridge, whose ranks are Lancer and Assassin.

In a castle deep in the mountains, a Berserker roams around.

The situation of the shadow servant Cao Mengde in other places is not very clear, but it is likely that he has been eliminated.

And now the shadow servant attacking them, judging by the weapon he is using, is obviously a Lancer, or a spearman.

"So, the Servant was attracted from the Fuyuki Bridge? But since when..."

Although he didn't know the exact distance, judging from the road signs Cao Mengde had seen before, Dongmu Bridge was at least several kilometers away from where he was now.

At this distance, it was impossible to even sense the sound of a fight. Moreover, Tomoe Gozen dealt with those monsters just like cutting vegetables, which did not cause any big noise at all. How could it be possible to attract a shadow servant from such a far distance?

That's why Cao Mengde felt so relieved to wander around this women's clothing store because no dangerous enemies would appear.

But why...

"and many more!"

Cao Mengde suddenly remembered the arrow with a tail of flame that Ba Yuqian shot.

It turned out that it was discovered at that time.

When Cao Mengde discovered that the shadow servants were attacking him, he understood everything mentioned above.

Then he pushed the stunned Tomoe Gozen away and quickly retreated, trying to avoid the attacking spear.

He was not some righteous ally who pushed his Servant away and took a step forward to block it. Then he was shot in the kidney.

As a monarch, the first thing to do is to protect yourself. You will never put yourself in danger unless it is absolutely necessary, and then consider your subordinates.

But this shadow servant seemed to have realized what Cao Mengde was going to do in advance. He ignored Tomoe Gozen who was pushed away and a little unstable, but continued to move forward, trying to pierce Cao Mengde's body with his spear!

It looked like he was targeting Cao Mengde from the beginning. However, Cao Mengde knew that the opponent's target was Tomoe Gozen from the beginning, but now it had turned to him.

"Can't escape!"

With just one glance, Cao Mengde knew that it would be difficult for him to avoid the shot even if he stepped back, and there was a high probability that two holes would be pierced in his body.

The fighting power of a heroic spirit is like that of a superman to ordinary people. If they want to kill you, it will be very difficult for you to survive.

According to the current situation, with two holes pierced in it, it is basically hopeless. There is no place for rescue at all, and Tomoe Gozen does not have any skills to heal.

“I can only block it for a while and see!”

So Cao Mengde raised the bone knife he had been carrying and used the wide blade to block in front of himself.

He wasn't stupid enough to use a knife to open the opponent's spear. As a human being, can your strength compare with that of a heroic spirit?

Open? My brain will explode!

Just as Cao Mengde raised the bone knife to block in front of him, the spear arrived and hit the knife.

click!

The moment it touched the bone knife, it shattered instantly.

Although he failed to completely block the spear, the bone knife reduced the force a lot and prevented him from being pierced through. He was only pierced into a little flesh.

"Hiss!" Cao Mengde gasped in pain.

From Cao Mengde's perspective, this scene is nothing big, but it is different from Ba Yuzen's perspective.

What she saw was that her Master pushed her away, and then was attacked by a black shadow that came out of nowhere, with a spear piercing his chest directly.

At that moment, Tomoe Gozen's mind went blank, and the emotions in his heart could no longer be suppressed and instantly exploded at this moment.

"Master!!"

Tomoe Gozen's pretty face turned ferocious. The scene before her reminded her of the moment when her lover Kiso Yoshinaka died.

Is she going to have to watch the person who loves her die now?

The emotion rising in Tomoe Gozen's heart now was not only the burning emotion, but also the shame for not being able to protect her Master.

Just like he failed to protect his lord (Kiso Yoshinaka) during his lifetime.

So at this moment, snake-like pupils appeared in Tomoe Gozen's red eyes, two long horns grew on her forehead, and the clothes she had just put on disappeared in an instant, replaced by a red samurai armor.

The spirit base comes again!

Blood stimulated!

Tomoe Gozen held a naginata in his left hand and a katana in his right hand. He rushed forward with one step, swinging the katana at Shadow Lancer's head like a demon.

Although he is a Shadow Servant and no longer has much rationality, and is merely an undead spirit formed from the remnants of a Heroic Spirit, he can actually still maintain a certain degree of fighting instinct.

Facing the attack from Tomoe Gozen, Shadow Lancer quickly retracted his spear and held it horizontally in front of him.

clang!

There was a sound of metal collision and sparks flew. Shadow Lancer successfully blocked Chin Yuzen's knife and avoided the danger of being beheaded.

"Humph!"

However, Tomoe Gozen has already stimulated his own demon bloodline, and his strength has increased significantly, so it can be said that every sword he cuts is like a raging fire.

With just a little force, Shadow Lancer was caught off guard and was knocked away, smashing the glass door and flying onto the street, with glass fragments scattered all over the ground.

Then, Tomoe Gozen ignored Cao Mengde's situation and followed the enemy into the street. Because the enemy's threat had not been eliminated, checking on the master's condition at this time might put both of them in danger.

You have to know that the other party is a Servant. Even if it is a Shadow Servant, it is still a threat that cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, the best thing to do now is to do what Tomoe Gozen did, which is to eliminate the threat first and then check on the Master's condition.

"Ahhh!"

Then Cao Mengde saw Ba Yuzen rushing out shouting, chasing after Shadow Lancer who had not yet stabilized his stance, the sound of hammering was endless, and sparks were flying everywhere!

Tomoe Gozen, holding two swords, is now like Miyamoto Musashi, showing off his strong fighting skills. Although he doesn't know how to use two swords, he can use two weapons of different lengths as if they were his own arms.

However, the power brought by Tomoe Gozen's own demon bloodline meant that she didn't need to use much combat skills at all, it was all strength.

Although Shadow Lancer is a Spear class, in reality there is no obvious class restraint to speak of, and it all depends on the Heroic Spirit's own abilities to gain an advantage.

And now Shadow Lancer is completely suppressed by Tomoe Gozen. It is obvious that the fighting ability of this Shadow Servant is not as good as Tomoe Gozen.

Cao Mengde came out, covering his bleeding wound with his clothes, and shouted to Tomoe Gozen: "Tomoe, the real name of this shadow servant is Musashibo Benkei! Attack his calf!"

After hearing Cao Mengde's voice, Tomoe Gozen sobered up a lot from his madness, but after hearing clearly that the name of the servant he was fighting against was Musashibo Benkei, he attacked even more fiercely!

"Benkei! Genji!" Tomoe Gozen's voice was filled with hatred.

Because of what happened in her lifetime, Tomoe Gozen had a strong hatred towards the Minamoto clan, and as a well-known monk-soldier around Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Musashibo Benkei would naturally be hated as well.

So, Tomoe Gozen changed his attack strategy. While attacking with the weapon in his hands, he did not forget to kick Musashibo Benkei's calf with his foot.

Benkei's shin bone is a well-known weak spot. Although this weakness is not fatal, it will hurt a lot if hit, so his combat effectiveness will definitely be affected and greatly reduced.

As expected, after being kicked in the calf by Tomoe Gozen, although he was just a black shadow with no expression at all, Musashibo Benkei's operation was obviously distorted.

Not long after, Tomoe Gozen seized the opportunity to chop off the Shadow Servant's head, and the Servant turned into black smoke and disappeared.

After destroying the shadow servant, Tomoe Gozen quickly returned to Cao Mengde to check on his injuries.

But Cao Mengde refused and said directly: "Don't worry about this for now, let's leave here first. The movement just now may attract other enemies!"

Chapter 9: Favorability increases significantly!

Facts proved that Cao Mengde's approach was correct. Not long after they left, another shadow servant came here.

If Cao Mengde was still here, he would definitely recognize the identity of this shadow servant - Assassin Cursed Arm Hassan, a frequent visitor to every Holy Grail War, and only in special circumstances would he not be Hassan.

However, Hassan is different from Musashibo Benkei. He did not see the arrow that Tomoe Gozen shot into the sky, but sensed the magic fluctuations caused by the battle between Tomoe Gozen and Musashibo Benkei, and then rushed over here.

Fortunately, he arrived a step late, otherwise, he would have to fight with Tomoe Gozen again.

Because they are the remnants of the Heroic Spirits summoned during the Holy Grail War, they are somewhat hostile to other Servants and will attack them once they are discovered.

However, Cao Mengde felt that this was also due to the instructions of Heida, the holder of the Holy Grail of this singularity.

He vaguely remembered that the shadow servants in the singularity seemed to be controlled by Hei Dai.

Unfortunately, the plot of the first part of FGO, Cao Mengde, is a bit vague and I can’t remember too many details.

After all, when FGO first started, the plot wasn’t that good, it could only be said to be at the level that a visual storyline mobile game should have.

It was not until the show gained popularity that the plot gradually became interesting, and the supervision of a certain fungus was indispensable.

I would even write it myself.

Hassan stayed there for a while, and suddenly sensed something. He jumped away while muttering: "Servant...Holy Grail...is mine!"

Some hidden corner.

"Master, how is your injury? Are you okay?"

Ba Yuqian put Cao Mengde down and wanted to check his injuries anxiously.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury."
