Chapter 331:
It seems to be an unnecessary worry. Since it is a problem that Roman can think of, how could Zhuge Kongming not consider it?
There was no situation along the way, and even the soldiers of the United Empire encountered in twos and threes. The reason for this is, of course, that El-Melloi II avoided the main road and chose the uninhabited trail, and part of it was because the Allied Imperial Army lost most of it yesterday, and now he has to choose to take back the troops that were sent to the outside world.
In the evening, Roman and El-Melloi II had vaguely seen the shadow of the city of Rome, and at this time, El-Melloi II asked Roman to stop.
"Stop, Magician S, let's set up camp and rest, and we will enter the city after dawn."
Roman did not overrule El-Melloi II's proposal because it was the right thing to do.
After dark, the security of the city of Rome will become more severe. If you choose to enter the city at this time, it will obviously be regarded as a personable character. Roman didn't want an allied messenger to become a suspicious spy.
Camping with your back facing the mountain, you can't see the fire here from the direction of Rome.
The two sat face to face on either side of the bonfire, staring at the bonfire without saying a word, because they were both thinking about their own minds.
The mountains were quiet, and even the chirping of insects could not be heard. Because of the strangely hot climate, many species had already begun to disappear at an extremely fast rate. If you let it go, in just a few years, the creatures of this era will be completely extinct.
"Magician S, which guild magician are you from, the Atlas Institute? The Sea of Wandering?"
El-Melloi II asked this question when he broke the silence, and he still had doubts about the magician S of unknown origin, which means distrust. Besides the need to protect him, the reason for bringing Magician S with him is also because of this distrust.
This is like General Wei Yan during the Three Kingdoms period. Zhuge Kongming knew that General Wei Yan would rebel after his death, but he did not kill him, but kept him and got rid of him when he really did something. On the one hand, General Wei Yan made great contributions to the State of Shu, and on the other hand, it was because the State of Shu still needed the strength of General Wei Yan.
Roman is now the same as General Wei Yan at that time. If he just does his Master's responsibility peacefully, there will be no problem, but if he shows any bad signs, El-Melloi II will definitely kill him.
"Why not the Clock Tower... Yes, you must be a magician from the Clock Tower, so you know that I don't belong there. However, I am not from the Magic Association, although the technology of spiritual transfer is provided by the Magic Association and the Animus. Fia is in control, but who can tell about the magician, do you think Maris Billy will put all hope in Chaldea?"
"Indeed, Animusfia also had his own plans, but unfortunately he didn't succeed in the end... What about Olga Marie?"
"Sorry, she's dead."
At this time, Roman just started to briefly explain the current situation of Chaldea to him, that is, just now, Roman remembered that Animusfia and El-Mello belonged to the same faction. The Magic Association is composed of three major organizations: the Magic Clock Tower, the Atlas Academy, and the Wandering Sea. Among these organizations, there are twelve monarch families, three noble families, and three factions. Among them, Animusfia and El-Mello belonged to the same aristocratic monarchy headed by Barthel-Mello.
In the crisis of human beings being burned, El-Melloi II wanted to find allies, and Chaldea, who belonged to the same faction, was obviously the best choice, and El-Melloi II had no other choice. Pushing El-Melloi II/Zhuge Kongming to Chaldea is an immeasurable assistant to Chaldea's assumption, absolutely no less than the Mona Lisa who is now working overtime in the central control room.
Olga Marie died, and now the person in charge of Chaldea's work is the technical consultant Mona Lisa. The only person who can repair human rights is Fujimaru Rika. At this time, if you don't hang it on Rika, who else can you choose?
Lixiang, Dad can only help you here.
Roman said in his heart, and when he raised his head, he found that El-Melloi II was staring at him, only then did Roman realize that he had said too much.
Obviously, El-Melloi II has begun to speculate... No, it should be said that it is already certain that Magician S is a magician from Chaldea.
Hey, it seems that I am too relaxed, and I accidentally exposed my identity. It can only be said that Roman did not spare no effort for his daughter.
"El-Melloi II, I have something to ask you."
"what's up?"
"About the fusion technology of subservients."
Tonight is destined to be a night of no (plus) sleep (shift).
...
When I woke up the next day, I couldn't help feeling very sleepy. Fortunately, Roman has long been accustomed to such a life of staying up late, but unfortunately, in the boring academic discussion, there is no arrogant and poisonous Mei Lijiang, but a serious teacher.
As expected of Mr. Kong Ming, although he has only become a sub-servant not long ago, El-Mello II, a magician of an orthodox society, also has special opinions on magic. However, Roman remembers that El-Melloi II's magic level seems to be the level of the fifth rank...
Forget it, stop talking about this sad topic.
Wash your tired face with cold water from the reserve, the water column disappears from the skin in the blink of an eye, and you can imagine how bad the weather is now. It is not difficult to imagine how many people will not wake up unconsciously in their sleep every day.
After eating some of the dry food in the package, Roman and El-Melloi II continued their journey. The city of Rome is already at hand, and if no other accident occurs, it will be possible to enter the city at noon - if there is no accident.
Someone is blocking the only way to the city of Rome. Like Roman, they are a combination of a magician and a Servant. To be precise, a combination of Master and Servant.
Compared to El-Melloi II, the unrestricted military commander, the opponent's Servant was an imposing warrior.
Wearing very little armor and fabric, it looks more like a fig leaf. The dark muscles are exposed to the air, towering like mountains, and the explosive force of them is oncoming. He was carrying a strange long-handed weapon behind him. Lancer could be used to judge his position, and he started to stare at him from a distance, never letting up from beginning to end.
His Master, the girl of crimson and gold, took Roman's attention in an instant.
Her gorgeous red dress was simply not suitable for the occasion, and she should have worn it to the dance, not to this wasteland. The golden hair is like a golden crown adorning the beautiful girl, and the slender hair is like waves in the air, shining with dazzling brilliance.
Her face is as touching as a fairy in a dream, the brightest jewel in the world.
When Roman saw her face, his breathing stopped.
"Let me wait all night, great military advisor Zhuge Kongming."
This was the first thing the girl said when she saw them. It seems that she has come here yesterday, waiting for the arrival of Roman and El-Melloi II. Although all roads lead to Rome, there is only one city of Rome. If you want to enter the city gate of the city of Rome, there is absolutely no way to avoid it.
That's why the girl and her Servant will wait here, so El-Melloi II will start to rest before dark, and they are all preparing for this battle.
But why are you here.
"I'm Erica Blandry, the magician who created this singularity, and the Holy Grail is in my hands. If you want to fix the singularity, defeat me, kill me, as long as you get the Holy Grail, you will You can leave this era."
The young girl - Erica Blandry was outspoken about her purpose and position. Her face was only arrogant and calm, but she could not see the contempt for the enemy.
That's right, she's Erica Bradley, the crimson demon of the "Bronze Black Cross", the niece of Ching Paul.
She should have been in another world and began to practice hard for her knighthood. When she grew up, she inherited the "Bronze Black Cross" and lived a life of love and killing with her childhood sweetheart. But why is she here?
There is an unbreakable barrier between the world and the horizon, and only a special case like Roman who connects with Akasha can come and go freely. Is there something wrong with that world? Could it be that because of his actions, the two worlds were connected?
Roman felt that his brain was starting to mess up, and he began to speculate in various ways. There were many things he wanted to ask Erica not far away, but he didn't know where to start.
The two are enemies, at least at this moment, they are the enemy of life and death.
"It seems that I was careless. I didn't expect the main general to walk in the front line openly."
El-Melloi II exhaled a puff of smoke. Erica and her Servant appeared here beyond his expectations. Although he had long expected that someone would be ambushed here, the perpetrator behind the scenes, the Master of the United Empire, appeared openly. This is El-Melloi II Unexpectedly.
This was originally a great opportunity. If the number of Servants on his side increased to three... No, as long as Alexander, who had a tacit understanding with him, was here, El-Melloi II would have the confidence to take him down.
"It's a great honor for me to be able to surprise the Grand Master, it's a pity, we are enemies now, it would be great if you could throw at us. How? If you are willing to give up Alexander, you can control half of the army of the Union Empire, this is Alexander , a power that Nero can't match."
"Sounds appealing, but unfortunately, I'm not interested in power. If I can, I'd like to let it go, at least it will make me feel at ease, but unfortunately it's not for me. And I prefer high In a game of difficulty, the weak will win the strong, and the less will win the more, so that it will be fun.”
Speaking of which, Zhuge Kongming went against the trend in his life. In fact, joining the Shu Kingdom was not a good choice. At that time, the Han army was overwhelmed, and Liu Xuande, who was weak and weak, was just a poor man who was attached to Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng. In comparison, both allegiance to Cao Mengde or Sun Zhongmou are good choices, even Liu Jingsheng is not too bad, but Zhuge Kongming chose Liu Bei.
Was Zhuge Kongming moved by Liu Xuande? Or is it because of Zhuge Kongming's interest?
"It's a shame, I thought we could talk."
"Since you've come to the front despite the danger, there are only two possibilities. First, you may be an idiot and not aware of the danger here. Second, you are very confident that you will win, not only Confidence in my Servant, and confidence in myself. It seems we are in trouble, Master."
"I know it's going to be troublesome to take over. It's frustrating, but I don't have the confidence to face this knight, so can I retreat, Caster?"
"Why are you retreating? Is your riding skills that are not popular?"
He probably felt that it was very difficult, and El-Melloi II was not in a good mood, so he couldn't help but sneer at Magician S's immature riding skills.
"Go ahead, Lancer."
"Don't get too far from me."
El-Melloi II had only time to say a word.
Lancer was already rushing towards this side, and his speed was so fast that he almost shrank to the point of a foot, and the distance of hundreds of meters was shortened by half in the blink of an eye.
PS: The rooftop was really cool last night, but there were too many people.
538 Chapter 74 Surrender and Alliance
Facing the menacing Lancer, El-Melloi II did not move slowly, the gossip mirror rose from his body and floated beside him. He judged that Lancer was more threatening than Caesar, and the gossip mirror used this time was not one side, but three sides.
The first gossip mirror shot a light cannon, which was blocked by Lancer's "gun" behind him. This action was so light that he couldn't slow down his movements at all, but the second light cannon that followed made him have to stop. He stepped down, because the target of the light cannon was his feet, and at this time, the third light cannon was already close to his abdomen.
El-Melloi II has already seen through the fighting habits of generals. In the face of crisis, they are more accustomed to using their muscle memory to fight, relying on their battle experience to defeat or avoid attacks. These habits often reflect In terms of weapons, bones, muscles, small movements, maybe only he can do this.
Even so, Lancer still dodged the third light cannon, but he didn't seem to notice that the dodged light cannon shot towards Erica behind him.
This is the goal of El-Melloi II. Compared to a powerful Servant, killing the Master is the best choice.
"Reinhardt, give the Lion of Steel a mission. Tear, pierce, crunch! Down, annihilate, triumph! I entrust you to this battlefield."
Erica is not a fragile magician. Even El-Melloi II did not expect that the magician who controls the entire United Empire is actually a great knight, but he just happens to have extraordinary magic talent.
The knights of the Knights Templar mastered more than the simple way of knighthood.
Erica stretched out her hand in front of her, a sword hilt appeared in the void, her slender fingers grasped the hilt and pulled it out, and a long sword appeared in her hand. But this didn't stop, the long sword broke out of her grasp, transformed into a steel lion blocking her, and was hit by El-Melloi II's light cannon.
The light cannon did not penetrate the steel lion, but the steel lion could no longer maintain the form of a lion after being attacked by the light cannon of El-Melloi II, and turned into a long sword and returned to Erica's hands.
"Tsk, that's true..."
It was not unexpected for El-Melloi II, and he had no extra experience to be surprised, because if he didn't concentrate on Lancer, he and Magician S might die here.
"Use the Command Spell, Master!"
El-Melloi II said to Roman. He never wanted to ask anyone else for help if he could, but now that there was no other way, Lancer was already close at hand.
- This is the time.
"Come on, Berserker, kill the Lancer in front of you."
When Lancer entered a dangerous distance, Roman used the Command Spell, and the skin with the color of steel was imprinted into his eyes, and he roared angrily for the gladiator who rebelled against Rome's promised gladiator, Spartacus. The sword was raised high and slashed at Lancer in front of him.
And at this moment, Lancer's movements stopped. Not because he was shocked by the presence of Spartacus, but because he was already within the reach of El-Melloi II's mobile Eighth Array of Stone Soldiers.
The muscles of Spartacus swelled. He was a slave warrior who rose up against the guarantee of Rome. When encountering the "emperor" and "Rome", he was able to exert his power beyond the limit. The rudimentary armor on his body seemed to be unable to restrain his body, giving the impression that he would break these iron blocks apart in the next moment.
"Go to hell, Emperor!"
With a familiar cry, Spartak's dead dagger slashed towards Lancer.
Lancer's "gun" blocked Spartacus' short sword, picked him up easily, and then swept away with his long spear, knocking Spartacus back.
But Spartacus also served its purpose. Both El-Melloi II and Roman knew that relying on Spartacus to defeat Lancer was an unrealistic delusion.
The three gossip mirrors around El-Melloi II fired light cannons at the same time. He didn't take into account that Spartacus was his partner. The light cannons did not pierce Spartacus's hands, feet, and abdomen. part. Similarly, Lancer, whose body was mixed with Spartacus, was also targeted by the light cannon, because Spartacus' cover could not see the light cannon, and his muscles were stiff because he blocked the short sword.
"I (Rome), are undefeated."
Everyone can feel that Lancer's body has changed, from an ordinary body of flesh and blood to an indestructible city wall, as strong as a god.
The three light cannons hit Lancer, but they were unable to injure him, leaving only faint traces on his dark skin.
"Roar!!!"
Spartacus, who should have broken his body, moved again, and his body recovered in a short instant, and the strength of his body was stronger than before. Spartacus has the "unyielding will" and "the glory of being abused", he can bear more harm and pain than ordinary people, and at the same time, he can transform this pain into magic and release it.
The tactic that can be implemented now is to contain El-Melloi II from a distance and let Spartacus resist Lancer's footsteps. Even if Spartacus is defeated for a while, it doesn't matter. Dax will be stronger than before.
- No, it's not enough.
Relying on the characteristics of the Master, Magician S can probably feel that there are some attributes in Lancer that have been stimulated, and that body is absolutely unbreakable by Spartacus.
Perhaps a perfect body, or a divine body, Roman couldn't be sure that Lancer would kill him before Spartacus was strong enough.
"Retreat, Berserker, Caster."
"No, Spartacus can't follow orders now."
As a hero who resists tyranny, killing the emperor who enforces tyranny is the essence of Spartacus. This is the only thing that cannot be violated. Even the Master's order cannot be conveyed to Spartacus, who has lost his mind. .
"In this case, you can only use the Command Spell."
But... if Spartacus is forcibly taken away with a Command Spell, he will no longer be able to resist Lancer's pursuit during the retreat, and he will definitely kill him.
Whether advancing or retreating, there seems to be no hope of success.
"Alexander..."
"No, Alexander cannot be summoned."
When the magician was about to use the Command Spell to summon Alexander, he was stopped by El-Melloi II.
"Alexander and Boudica, have now entered the city of Rome."
"what?"
It's a good one "build the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, and cross the Chencang in the dark". Although he and Magician S are already extremely secretive, they will always be blocked by Erica and Lancer. But Alexander and Boudicca were different. They were Riders and they had their own vehicles. Even if they took a detour, they could reach Rome faster than Roman and the two.
El-Melloi II simply used himself and Magician S as bait, and only he and the two Riders knew about this plan.
"Now we can only summon General Lu Fengxian."
"No need." Roman shook his head and rejected El-Melloi II's suggestion, "Even if I call General Lu Fengxian, I may not be able to defeat Lancer. I plan to call Alexander and Boudica just to retreat, and I didn't think about winning. Lancer. Although saying that might hurt you, even Erica alone cannot be defeated by two Servants."
