My mother's love song

"As long as the Saint is waving the flag, we will not be defeated."

The soldiers' simple and honest faith spread throughout the world as Jeanne's fame grew, and finally manifested itself as a treasure unique to the saint.

In the face of such overwhelming fame and great achievements, the mystery accumulated over the years is meaningless, and even the great magic of the Age of Gods can easily break it.

Even the massive firepower of the Hanging Gardens that destroyed the city of Mirenia could not harm Jeanne in the slightest.

In the area on the right, the Greek master and his apprentice were fighting fiercely.

Meteors dance wildly in the night sky, flashing intense light.

That was the swift trajectory drawn by the chariot driven by Achilles in the air.

"Come on, Black Archer! This is the promised moment, let's enjoy it! How about this!"

Drawing a snake-like trajectory in the dark night, Achilles rushed towards Chiron!

Black Archer's vision is completely unaffected by darkness and can see through everything.

But even with such eyesight, it was extremely difficult to catch up with the chariot.

Faced with a blender speeding at the speed of light, who could easily catch it?

If they were even slightly touched, all living things would instantly turn into bright red meat paste.

This is also true even when facing a whale-like steel behemoth created by humans.

In a blink of an eye, two civilian airliners weighing hundreds of tons were sunk by Achilles, breaking into two parts in the middle of the carcass and falling rapidly.

Achilles wanted to destroy Chiron by destroying his foothold, but Archer calmly jumped from one passenger plane to another, preventing him from succeeding.

Run, chase, shoot, smash.

The Great Sage Chiron and the Great Hero Achilles

The two Servants did not hesitate at all and continued to "consume" steel behemoths worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

In just a few minutes, six planes had been shot down, leaving four.

If this continues, all the machines will be shot down, and the Black Faction will be kicked out of the Holy Grail War.

Of course, Red Rider had already tried his best, and no matter how boring the result was, if the victory or defeat was decided like this, he felt that there was nothing that could be done.

Black Archer had not expected such an outcome, and he also understood that Red Rider had used all his strength in a situation that was favorable to him.

Then the adjustment was finally over.

Wind direction, aircraft speed, tank speed and movement trajectory, everything is under Chiron's control.

After taking all the factors into consideration, the great sage shot an arrow that pierced the head of one of the horses pulling the chariot.

Among the three horses, two are divine horses with the title of immortality.

However, there was only one Pedasus, a rare and famous horse, but he was not immortal.

The archer's arrow accurately pierced Pedasos's forehead.

The horse whose spirit core was shot through had to disappear even if it was a Noble Phantasm.

In this way, Achilles had to take back his chariot and go to the plane to confront Chiron.

"Let's go."

Rhodes called out to Ata who was watching the show, then turned and walked towards the depths of the sky garden.

"Come to think of it, I didn't see Kama..."

……

……

……

Inside the Sky Garden.

Rhodes and Atalanta walked forward in a room full of traps.

It was said that I fell into a trap, but the black hole in front of me was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

Since walking down the stairs in the central spire to reach the initial room, I have broken through to the sixth room.

All the rooms are the same, just a space of about 100 square meters surrounded by gray walls.

There are bayonet mechanisms, pendulum sickles, falling traps, and poison gas. It is a place full of murderous intent.

Although the Sky Garden was once owned by Rhodes, he was not aware of these traps. It was obviously modified by Semiramis herself.

At times like this, the value of the huntress Atalanta is revealed.

While Atalanta complained about the poor taste of the Assyrian queen, she held Rhodes' hand and easily avoided traps that normal people could never avoid.

Although she does not have the [intuition] like in the Altria series, her rich adventure experience allows her to see through all traps.

"Does it feel like a date?"

Rhodes said with a smile to Atalanta who looked unhappy.

"It seems a bit like that, hehe."

Soon, they passed through all the trap rooms and entered among the monsters.

Large numbers of Dragon Tooth Soldiers appeared.

"Well, being protected by girls all the time isn't a solution."

Rhodes twirled the staff in his hand with a smile on his face.

There were intermittent crunching sounds and the sound of bones crushing, and then a beam of light passed through.

The dragon fang soldiers that filled the entire room were burned to ashes in an instant, and the shock wave shook the entire aerial garden.

As a result, the room between the last monsters was the one that took the shortest time.

Passing through the Dragon Tooth Soldier's room is a corridor over 100 meters long.

The ceiling was so high that it was almost invisible, and at the end was a huge iron door.

Just by standing here, one can feel the murderous intent of the woman on the other side of the door.

It was a deep purple murderous intent filled with viciousness.

Such strong and deep hatred and murderous intent made Atalanta frown slightly, and she looked at the young man beside her in confusion.

Strange, the target of Assassin's hostility is... Rod?

"Master."

"I'll explain it to you later."

Rhodes' face was tense, he took a deep breath, and planned the worst-case scenario in his mind.

Just then, the huge door opened.

What comes into view is an extremely luxurious hall. On the stairs dozens of meters high is the only seat in the entire space.

Sitting on the throne was, as always, the owner of the Hanging Gardens, Queen Semiramis.

The long, jet-black hair like thick ink drags to the ground, the golden snake eyes and fairy-like pointed ears exude a dangerous demonic beauty, and the black dress has a temperament of the beauty of death.

Semiramis sat on the throne with her slender legs crossed, and her beautiful and charming face stared at Rhodes without any expression.

"……strangeness."

When Atalanta saw Assassin again, she felt as if she had been reborn.

Is she such a dangerous person?

"It's a rare opportunity to be here, but I'm afraid it's not quite right to say that. After all, this is your garden, Caster."

Seeing the empress's sweet smile, Atalanta suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.

He just smiled innocently, but every wild cell in his body was roaring with danger.

Just as an exquisite and gorgeous work of art can attract people's attention, the empress seems to have the power to capture people's souls just by smiling.

Atalanta turned to look at Rhodes.

It was reassuring to know that her husband didn't seem to be much affected.

Semiramis propped her cheek with one hand. "Why can't you speak, Caster? You are usually very eloquent."

Rhodes stretched out a hand towards the high throne: "Assassin, I sincerely apologize for what I did to you before. Please forgive me for my offense."

The empress raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "I don't remember any reason why I deserve your apology."

Rhodes said: "Okay. Let me put it another way. Are you interested in joining me?"

He regarded the Assyrian Queen as harmless and said simply, "My goal is only to recover the Holy Grail... Assassin, if it is you, it is not a bad idea to let you keep the Holy Grail after the war.

Since you stole it, you can use it to fulfill your wish."

"..."

Semiramis's beautiful eyebrows twitched.

In order to win her over, he was even willing to hand over the Holy Grail. This was beyond the Empress's expectations, but

Semiramis had no interest in the Greater Grail; what she wanted was not a universal wish-granting machine.

"Wait, wait a minute"

Atalanta was surprised at what Rhodes said, but the expression on his face was undoubtedly sincere.

"Rod, what's going on?"

Rhode said bluntly, "Assassin is my woman."

Although she had guessed it long ago, Atalanta still felt speechless when she heard the truth from him.

Is this the disadvantage of having a husband who is hundreds of millions of years old? When you go downstairs to buy vegetables, you will encounter nine women who have ridden on him.

The girl trembled her lips and pinched Rhodes' waist. "Huh, I see. I will ask you about the situation carefully later, Master."

Rhodes swallowed as he felt a chill coming from behind him.

Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. He continued to cordially invite the empress, who had a cold look on her face.

"How about this, Semiramis. Become my woman like Atalanta, and I will love you both equally."

The Assyrian Queen's expression froze and her golden pupils widened slightly.

She felt very happy the moment she was invited by Rhodes.

But this joy was short-lived.

Now she was more angry towards Rhodes.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier? Why did you make me wait so long?

Semiramis would never obey Rhodes easily.

This behavior only devalues ​​your value as a woman.

This is the worldview and belief that a girl who was abandoned by her mother at a young age has carried out throughout her life.

She sighed.

"That's enough... You think I'm your property just because we had sex once? You should know that I hate men who treat women as their property the most, right?

"Indeed, I spoke out of turn." Rhodes also sighed.

You are the Assyrian queen who is more arrogant and greedy than anyone else.

It is impossible for you to become a man's vassal willingly.

It is unrealistic for you to abandon your dignity and throw yourself into the arms of your enemy.

"That's why I'm so attracted to you."

Rhodes said, "Semiramis, let me ask you one last time. May I solemnly invite you to leave the Red Side?"

"Caster, there is only one Master I intend to be loyal to."

The Assyrian queen bit her lip and snorted resentfully, "It's definitely not you."

"I see. Negotiations have broken down."

Rhode twisted his shoulders and said, "Then I will use my strength to make you surrender. This is the result you expect. No, this is also what I expect."
