Overlapping the bombardment was a chorus of despair, the destructive power of this song had already surpassed the damage caused to the servants by the non-stop bombing.
Artillery shells can be avoided, landmines can be avoided, and bullets can be deflected with the sharp weapons in hand, but what about the singing... or the howl of curse that can penetrate the skin and pierce the soul even if it pierces one's eardrums?
The defense alone was enough to overwhelm the servants present, let alone working together to organize an offensive against Nero.
The air was filled with violent magic, and just opening one's mouth would make one feel suffocated.
"Shit! Is it possible that the magical powers of this Roman emperor who sang awfully are infinite?"
Rider, or Achilles, who was steering his chariot while raising his shield, cursed angrily after a bullet grazed his shoulder.
"Instead of talking nonsense, you might as well think about how to break the situation."
Ta Miao, who was also on the battlefield of Achilles, shook his ears, drew the bow again, and continuously shot arrows to block the bullets that were coming like a storm.
"Vile Roman Emperor, is this how you treat war?"
"Stupid! My methods are just! Caliber is truth, equivalent is justice!" Nero, who was fooled by Li Lin and instilled with strange knowledge, puffed out his chest proudly while madly attacking with various modified modern weapons.
"Tsk..."
Vlad III's treasure, the King of Punishment, emerged from the floor one after another, but they were soon smashed to pieces by the crazy output of the magic Gatling machine that rotated tens of thousands of times per minute.
But this is not what bothers the Shield of Christendom, the Impaler of Romania, the most.
What annoyed him most was the Master who had a blue face and was trembling in his arms.
Danic Preston Yugdomirenia, the head of the Thousand World Tree Clan, was the only black master who followed and entered the sky courtyard.
Although Vlad III somewhat disliked him, he did perform the ritual of a subject, and he would also disappear if the Master was destroyed. Even though he was extremely unhappy, he still had to choose to hold the Master in his arms. After all, no matter how good Danik's brain was, his body was still a human.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not only not beautiful, but also looks a bit gay.
......
In the blurry ripples, Jeanne saw three figures fighting in front of the Holy Grail. That was a revelation from the Lord.
Flames were burning all around, the pale blue Holy Grail was hanging in the air, and dark green warriors that seemed to exist only in legends blocked the two knights who were like a red dragon and a cobra.
Jeanne couldn't tell the real names of the three people, but she knew one of them.
Li Lin, the Master who participated in this Holy Grail War in violation of the rules, possesses outstanding combat capabilities equal to those of an exceptional Servant.
But Joan of Arc did not think that she was the villain who led this Holy Grail War astray.
Because although those eyes were lazy, they were very clear. In addition, he collected Leticia's luggage for her and gave precious food to the hungry saint.
How could such a kind person be the culprit that caused this Holy Grail War to go wrong?
This image guided Joan of Arc's direction, and after she parted with El-Melloi II, she also came here with the help of the rubble that was attracted. However, Joan of Arc was not sure what the goal of the revelation was.
Jeanne just ran for a long time in confusion. Although the Servant's physique is very strong, Jeanne also feels a little tired.
Then, wandering in the corridors of the Sky Courtyard, she heard the sounds of fighting and explosions.
But she always felt that the sound was like someone shooting with a heavy machine gun.
Are there any modern servants in this Holy Grail War?
Chapter 63 I am just a Kamen Rider passing by
In the magnificent theater, the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated.
Although it had experienced carpet bombing and strafing for dozens of minutes, the ground was still intact. Even the red carpet on it was as tenacious as the floor tiles of Ryudo Temple in Fuyuki City.
However, this did not mean that the battle had been decided, nor did it mean that Nero was showing signs of fatigue due to the depletion of his magic power.
It was Joan of Arc who forcibly intervened in the battlefield and forced Nero to temporarily stop the artillery fire.
Even though Nero was an "illegal" who participated in the Holy Grail War in violation of the rules, the Command Spell of the Saint seemed to have some restraining power on her. After two consecutive mandatory orders, Nero reluctantly stopped his bombardment.
"Stop fighting!"
Standing between Nero and the temporary "coalition" of the Red and Black factions, Jeanne shouted loudly.
The eight servants who had temporarily gotten a chance to catch their breath also began to adjust their status.
"...Do you know how annoying you are, you French country girl?"
Nero saw clearly that Li Lin had good intentions towards Jeanne. If it weren't for his own Master's attitude that made Nero suppress his feelings, Jeanne's two Command Spells would probably have had no effect other than angering her.
No one can command an emperor, let alone, you, a saint (witch) of Christianity (heresy), come to control my Roman emperor?
Calm down, Nero. Don't be angry even if your concert is interrupted... Bullshit! I still think this country girl who copied my face is annoying!
Previously, a Knight of the Round Table from the British Isles was suspected of piracy, which already gave Nero a headache. Now you heretics have copied the face of me, the Flower of Olympus, and the worst offender is a country girl!
"I don't care what you think of me, but..."
Joan of Arc seemed to want to say something, but before that, Nero interrupted her speech, sighing and holding his forehead with a look of headache.
"There is no but. This is a battlefield, and they and I are the combatants. I have suppressed them with this treasure in front of you, and I am about to win. You told me to stop?"
"this......"
When asked this question, Jeanne was stunned for a moment.
"I didn't involve any innocent people, nor did I use any cheating methods. What right do you have to stop me?" Nero looked at Jeanne with disdain, who was speechless and embarrassed. "Or is it that hot weapons are used in close combat in the Holy Grail War? Is there such a rule?"
Ban on the use of hot weapons? Not true.
Although there are few modern and recent servants, there are also servants like Napoleon and Billy the Kid who play with guns. It is impossible for such a weird rule to appear. What's more, one of the oldest Fat Tigers still has an ancient nuclear warhead in his hand. If we want to ban it, we should find him first.
Joan of Arc was silent for a long time after hearing this, then she raised her head and looked at Nero without flinching. "But as the judge, I have the right to suspend this Holy Grail War."
Justified and confident, the authority dog can do whatever he wants.jpg
"No problem, no problem at all... Ugh, we the Black team agree with Ruler's proposal."
Protected in the arms of the Grand Duke, Danic experienced the ups and downs of heaven and earth, and a 360-degree rotation. While holding the railing and retching, he quickly agreed to Joan of Arc.
What a joke! If Nero fires another round, let alone the red side, the black side's Frankenstein will soon be unable to hold on.
"Well, what about you, the Red Servants?"
Ignoring the tyrant who was gnashing his teeth in anger but unable to attack due to the restrictions of two Command Spells, Jeanne shifted her gaze to the red Servant.
"Well, I don't mind." Achilles was the first to speak, and then Tamiao added: "Ditto."
However, Jeanne was always a little concerned about Red Saber. For some reason, she first glanced at Jeanne's face, and then spat on the ground when she saw her chest.
"So, what is the reason for stopping the Holy Grail War?"
Astolfo started the conversation, and everyone, including Nero, looked at the saint with a righteous face.
"I think the Red Masters may have been harmed by Kotomine Shiro, the supervisor of the Holy Church."
"But this is not a reason enough to stop the war, Ruler. It doesn't matter what happens to the Master. Even if it is true as you said, except for Red Saber, the Masters of the other Servants are replaced by Kotomine Shiro. But what does it matter?"
The change of Master is not uncommon, especially in this Asian Holy Grail War that has almost spread to the entire world. However, the change of Master is not enough reason for Joan of Arc to request an end to the Holy Grail War.
"Well, normally there is no problem. After all, I have no control over who the Servant chooses to be the Master."
Faced with Nero's deliberately raised questions, Joan of Arc was not angry. Instead, she nodded slightly, confirming her statement.
“But this assumes everything is normal.”
"Hmm? Everything is normal? What does the Lord Arbiter mean?" As soon as Joan of Arc finished speaking, Danic frowned.
Jeanne glanced at the other servants nearby, and after making sure everything was fine, she said, "The Red Master has violated the rules of this Holy Grail War."
"Then, Mr. Judge, what exactly did Father Kotomine, the Master of the Red Side, or the supervisor of the Holy Church, violate?"
"Ruler, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, he was the judge of the last Holy Grail War, yes, sixty years ago. He took on a human body through incarnation, and with the help of Kotomine Risei, he joined the Holy Church under the alias Kotomine Shiro."
It was not Jeanne who answered the questions of Danic and the other contestants, but a female voice coming from behind Nero.
"He became the Master of the Red Team. Well, although now the Red Team only has Achilles, Atalanta, and that vicious woman, it looks very shabby."
The cobra-like knight walked to Nero's side and, on behalf of Joan of Arc, slowly answered everyone's questions.
"He plans to use the power of the Holy Grail to change the fate of mankind and destroy the future of mankind. Well, thank you for your hard work, Nero." Li Lin patted Nero's shoulder and turned to look at the other people present.
"Her Excellency the Saint can attest to the truth of this matter. She can testify for me."
The surroundings fell into silence. Li Lin's words stunned the contestants, but Jeanne only moved her lips and did not deny Li Lin's words. Because in the vague revelation she received, there was indeed a picture of a "priest" wearing a strange device and turning into a warrior with strange "eyes".
"Who are you, this guy?"
At this time, Danik once again raised his doubts.
"Nothing, I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by. Well, it's okay if you don't remember me."
"A Kamen Rider passing by? I've got it in mind."
The magician, who had no idea that this was a death sentence, nodded.
"...Well, as long as you are happy."
Li Lin scratched his face awkwardly and glanced at Danik who seemed to be thinking about something.
However, at this moment, the figure who had been hidden in the crowd and remained silent suddenly ran and charged towards Li Lin!
"Although I don't really understand what you are talking about, I still can't stand on the same side with you! Evolto!"
Without a doubt, among all the people present, the only one who would react in this way was Wanzhang Longwo.
"Stop making so much noise, just listen to me! I hate unruly brats like you the most!"
——You muscle idiot! You are always causing trouble for me!
Chapter 64: The Desperate Ten Thousand-foot Dragon
"I don't think it's a bad thing to hastily free humans from the shackles of the flesh, but his wish is a bit premature. Most importantly, he did not obtain the consent of humans. Let me ask you, which human being asks for, or hopes for, such a future?"
Although Li Lin herself also did not receive approval from humans during the second creation process, this did not matter to her double standards for Amakusa. No one knew her past anyway, so she could naturally pretend to be righteous.
Moreover, Li Lin does not think that granting people immortality is a good thing.
Longevity is a blessing, immortality is a sin, Amakusa's wish is undoubtedly wrong, and countless science fiction and fantasy works have expressed a pessimistic attitude towards infinite life. Especially when the mind cannot bear the body, the transformation from a short-lived species to an immortal species is not a process that can be accomplished overnight.
Because Li Lin and Xiao Yuan are immortals, they have deeply felt that the people around them are constantly growing, but they themselves have not changed at all, and they have been distressed by this.
Unless they are killed, if they are willing, they can even stay together forever until the day when the mysterious eternity disappears.
"The dead have no right to take away the future of the living."
Jeanne has begun to tip the scales, and there is no way she will sit idly by and watch Amakusa achieve its goal.
The content of the revelation and Li Lin's previous actions left Joan of Arc with a very bad impression of Li Lin. At least she was able to calmly analyze what she said.
The truth of everything will be revealed as long as Jeanne meets "Kotomine Shiro". In this case, there is no need for Li Lin to deceive Jeanne. After all, such a lie that can be exposed at a glance has no value in existence.
In Jeanne's eyes, there was no possibility that Li Lin would risk being beaten up by other servants who suspected him and bluff her.
Moreover, Miss Zhen Gong was willing to believe Li Lin. In this girl with pink hair and golden eyes, Zhen Arc felt an aura similar to that of the Lord she believed in.
"What do you think, Achilles, Atalanta, and Mordred?"
After the Black team reached a consensus with Jeanne and Li Lin, the group looked at the remaining three members of the Red team.
"I......"
In a situation where she was not sure whether the Holy Grail would fulfill her wish, his words that clearly informed her of the means of salvation might have been like gospel to Atalanta.
Atalanta frowned hesitantly and looked at Achilles beside her in embarrassment.
"Don't stare at me like that! Before I became a Servant, I was a hero of humanity. Even if Amakusa Shiro is my Master, I can't just sit back and watch his evil deeds."
Compared to the hesitant Ta-Meow, Achilles readily joined the team to defeat Amakusa. However, it is unknown how much of this was due to his desire to fight alongside his teacher.
After all, that man would not lie. At least after his true identity was revealed and they confronted each other, Amakusa would definitely confess his ideals and try to persuade the servants to join his team.
"Atalanta, Amakusa Shiro hopes for a world without sorrow or joy, which means that children will never smile again. Do you think this is a kind of relief?"
Li Lin, who knew Ta Miao's wish well, just sighed helplessly. She felt that the most suitable person to be a lobbyist here was her, a time traveler who had read the script.
"Yes, I understand. But our alliance only lasts until we defeat that priest."
Atalanta lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before confirming Li Lin's statement.
