Although the command voice containing the majesty of the superior and the iron will of the conqueror was not loud, it spread throughout the entire battlefield in an instant. Even the brave Roman soldiers were attracted by the smoke contained in the words of the seemingly delicate girl in front of them.
Shocked by the taste of iron blood.
As the personal bodyguards of the Roman emperor all year round, these soldiers are familiar with this feeling. It is the aura of a true emperor, a demeanor that can only be possessed by a powerful person who can decide the life and death of an entire country with just one sentence. A pretentious nobleman will spend his whole life.
It also has a metallic taste that cannot be imitated.
"Kaka, kaka..."
The sound of metal clashing sounded neatly out of thin air. Around us, and even in every open area of the entire Roman legion square, countless portals emerged, emitting a faint white light. From the air, it looked like a thick
The iron sand suddenly shone like hundreds of fireflies. Even if they didn't know what happened, the Roman soldiers instinctively felt the threat. They grabbed the javelins in their hands and threw or pierced these portals, but
This is meaningless. The portal is like a reflection in the water. Facing the swarming attacks, except for waves of painless fluctuations, there is no damage at all.
A neat declaration of war sounded like thunder.
"Strength is justice! Power brings freedom! Dictatorship maintains peace! The edge of the blade is the frontier of the empire! Conquer everything! Conquer everything!!"
Listening to this powerful declaration of war, I was even moved to tears.
How long has it been? How long has it been? How long has it been since I heard such an inspiring policy for the Empire? All the former commanders of the ace army asked me to make trouble for the army, and now I am just these brainless fools.
The soldiers are still reliable!
"Arjun, what's wrong?"
Noticing that a bunch of pained expressions on my face were being played in a loop like a swipe on the screen, Sandora immediately asked with concern, and I responded with a faint smile:
"It's okay, baby, I'm just a little sad..."
Striding out of the portal were hundreds of burly men wearing black alloy armor. The high-tech armor full of rigid lines and the frosty zombie faces were writhing under the red moon.
The salty smell of rust, the javelins and swords from the Roman soldiers greeted these soldiers in unison the moment they appeared, and then inspired large swaths of energy sparks on countless psionic shields that shone at the same time.
——Although the complete heroic spirits may be able to compete with the Xiling soldiers, the ones here are all clones after all, and their attacks cannot break through the soldiers' defense at all.
To be honest, despite our close relationship, sometimes I really can't understand some of Sandora's ideas. For example, right now, it's obviously very easy to deal with this Roman general, but he can't resist if I just throw a few satellite cannons at him.
Yes, but Sandora actually wants to summon her own army to fight these backward heroic soldiers in a legion melee. I am afraid that I will never understand this concept of putting aside one's own advantages and taking into account "military honor".
But since Sandora is so insistent, I will naturally support her. Besides, she is not pedantic. She has made such a choice because of the absolute advantage in combat power. If she is fighting the fallen apostle, I am afraid this girl can think
The insidious tactics that come out are no less than mine...
"Light infantry, retreat and disperse! Put in reserves! Spearmen attack!"
"Each unit's psionic weapons fire at will!"
The killing cries of Roman soldiers and the roar of psionic guns resounded throughout the battlefield at the same time. Black magic javelins and blue psionic sparks simultaneously erupted in every corner of the Roman legion's formation.
Airdrop encirclement and killing. Shandora adopts the typical airdrop and encirclement and killing tactics. As the former war song princess, Sandora has regarded various commonly used tactics as her own instinct. This kind of use of high-level spiritual apostles to directly rush into the enemy's formation.
Then the battle method of summoning grassroots soldiers on a large scale is as famous as the crushing of imperial heavy ships. In the melee between the two legions, a senior apostle who suddenly rushes to your base camp and recruits unlimited troops and whose own combat power is equally powerful is definitely enough to stop it.
The fatal threat of war, although this sacrifices the range advantage of Xiling soldiers to a certain extent, the suddenness and indefensible nature of the overtime airborne troops are enough to make up for this small shortcoming: we do not need range to deal with ordinary
Troops, because the enemy's command team will all die in the next second.
It is as obscene as placing the barracks exit next to the enemy commander's chair.
In fact, the results of the battle were indeed good. Although almost all the Xiling soldiers were attacked by the nearest Roman soldiers at the beginning, the psionic shields on their bodies successfully resolved the first round of damage, and there were only less than ten unlucky soldiers.
The guy was severely injured by nearly a hundred people and had to return to a different space to wait for repairs. The remaining Xiling soldiers had already activated the psionic weapons in their hands and began to harvest the lives of the enemies in large quantities.
At my reminder, Sandora has given these soldiers the order "Only psionic weapons are allowed to be used." Although energy weapons are not as useful as physical weapons in the atmospheric environment, they are constantly reborn under the red moon.
guy, the former is the only effective method, and the so-called energy attenuation is only relative. At such a close distance, no Roman soldier can withstand the power of a single blow of the psionic beam head-on, and large swaths of enemy soldiers
They were riddled with holes under the line of fire and fell heavily to the ground, and this time, they could no longer be revived.
However, even when faced with the situation where his soldiers were being killed and injured at a speed visible to the naked eye, the unknown Roman general still stood firmly on the chariot, without even blinking his eyelids, but calmly issued the order:
"Light infantry! Continue to attack from the flank! Are there any living reserves? Put them all into battle! I will not retreat, and neither will you!!"
The courage is commendable, but unfortunately, the victory or defeat has already been decided.
In fact, when Sandora and I personally rushed to the main formation of this heroic spirit army, they were already defeated.
As the last pikeman was intercepted by a bright blue light, there were no more survivors on the battlefield. The Roman legion's main formation was completely destroyed, and a few kilometers away, the glory of the Crystal Virgin was gradually dimming.
: It’s not that it’s running out of energy, it’s that there are no more enemies to kill.
"Rome must win!"
Leading the few remaining personal guards, the unknown general jumped out of the chariot with a broad sword held high, and rushed towards us without fear of death. A blue beam of light came from Sandora with a sharp whistling sound in the air.
It fired from the side and behind, and hit the opponent's heart from the front. However, the all-powerful beam failed to kill its target for the first time. The opponent actually used magic power to resist the attack, with a burnt hole as big as a bowl on his chest.
The unknown general rushed straight in front of me, raised his broad sword high and struck down with all his strength.
Raising my hand to hold the opponent's sword blade, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised by the opponent's strength. The next second, this brave general exploded into light spots all over the sky.
"Chi chi chi", several rapid beam attacks hit the remaining heroic infantry, turning the last enemy into energy scattered in the air.
"Excellent soldiers." Sandora took a long breath and sighed from the bottom of her heart.
"Anyway, he will become our subordinate soon."
"Are you really planning to abduct all the heroic spirits?" Sandora glanced at me, "But I do admire such soldiers..."
The only regret is that these Roman soldiers are not real heroic spirits. Sakura's power cannot directly transform them. I can only make my mind up on negotiating with the origin of the world. Otherwise, in today's battle, we can directly abduct them.
Thousands of immortal heroic spirits are fighting.
"By the way, Sandora," I suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "The general mentioned Gaius or something just now. That should be the real heroic spirit summoned by the Matou family. You know
Who doesn’t?”
Shandora blinked: "I remember he was the most famous founding emperor of Rome, right? His full name was Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. He ruled the Roman Empire for 43 years. He was later dismissed for his great achievements.
People take the name of Augustus...Eh? What's wrong with you, Jun?"
I looked up at the sky with tears in my eyes.
"Nothing, I just feel like letting an alien teach me the history of the earth makes me feel a kind of sadness lingering in my heart..."
You said that if I can listen carefully to a few history classes when I go to middle school, won’t I no longer have to embarrass the people on earth?
Although the whole battle was extremely brutal, it actually only lasted less than an hour. The main reason was that the violent attack power of the empire's violent armed gangs headed by Pandora was so ferocious. Even if the firepower originally used to bombard the battleships in space was switched to the intra-atmospheric mode,
After being suppressed several times, its power is still not something that ordinary heroic spirits can resist. An army of 10,000 heroic spirits, and they were resurrected several times under the red moon. Their number may be about twice that number, and they were just wiped out. To be honest,
, it really feels a bit unreal.
Even though we are enemies now, I have to admire such an army. As the unknown general said, the Roman warriors will never retreat until the last soldier is beaten into a sieve. There is not a single deserter in the legion of ten thousand people.
They fought to the last man, and even when there were only three infantrymen left, they were still attacking us without panic. Even Sandora couldn't help but praise such brave soldiers.
This further strengthened my belief in abducting the Heroic Spirit Army...
A few minutes later, we reunited with Tohsaka and others.
"Artoria? Injured?"
I noticed that the dull-haired girl had been pressing her ribs with her hands, and there was faint blood seeping out between her fingers, and I couldn't help but become concerned.
"I was attacked by a sneak attack, but it's not serious. If you have a brilliant aura, you can recover quickly." Saber answered seriously. Judging from the angry look, it must be a skin injury.
After all, the heroic spirit is not a monster like the Xiling apostle. Just a nether energy shield can make the enemy weak. Perhaps the full combat power of Saber can fight against the lower-level Xiling officers, but now she is just a summoned by the Holy Grail system.
With her incomplete body, injuries are inevitable in such a battle, and it's not just her. Sasaki, who also belongs to the melee unit, also has several scars on his body. However, the swordsman who is good at fighting and footwork has obvious damage control.
He is more skilled. Although he has many wounds, he looks twice as energetic as Saber.
"Ah! Boss! I'm injured too!"
Seeing that I was caring about a "non-staff member" as soon as I arrived, Sasaki was naturally quite unbalanced. He pointed at a white mark on his arm and exaggerated the injury. Rider on the other side also walked up to me silently, showing off a white mark on his shoulder.
There were faint traces of blood, and he muttered in a low voice: "Boss, raise your salary!"
In other words, as long as you join the Xi Ling camp, will you be decisive and ethical-10086?
"Is everyone okay?"
I looked around. I could ignore Pandora Viskavega and the others who were bouncing around in high spirits. I could also ignore the fact that Little Bubble was raising its head and chatting with the red moon in the sky. Ding Dong had just gotten into my pocket.
Now I can feel the little thing tumbling inside, and Leizi is holding the command knife and posing happily alone. In short, the Xiling Front Army has experienced a battle and is in extremely good condition.
Tohsaka and the others looked much more embarrassed. Although there were not many injured, the high-intensity battle with ten thousand heroic spirits for an hour took a huge toll on physical strength, and more importantly, it was mentally draining, especially
Tohsaka, it seems like he can hardly stand up now.
"Huh -" the eldest lady let out a long breath, and unceremoniously grabbed my clothes and got up, "I'm still alive. I thought I was going to die today...Uncle Alien, I didn't expect it.
You guys are so awesome, to be honest, I was almost scared to death at first."
Almost scared out of your mind? I think you were really scared out of your mind at that time, right?
You were the first one to be stunned when the void explosion appeared, and the first one to exclaim when Pandora and Viska started saturation bombing!
Of course, you can't say these words, otherwise the face-conscious young lady will definitely go crazy.
"Speaking of which, since you are so powerful, it shouldn't be a problem to leave all the battles to you in the future, right?"
Madam, where is your moral integrity?
"But no matter what, this battle... is too exaggerated."
Emiya still had a slightly frightened look on his face. Not only the scene of thousands of troops charging towards him, but also the scene of Pandora and the others carrying giant artillery across the battlefield was even more shocking. For someone who was in school not long ago
For ordinary students who go to school honestly, being suddenly thrown into a war-torn battlefield is indeed a big shock.
"Young man, you have to know that the universe is very dangerous," I patted Emiya on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Little monsters and QBs can be seen everywhere in space. Even large collided targets like Ultraman are all objects of space navigation."
It’s a big trouble. If you don’t have enough firepower to arm yourself, the vast starry sky will not welcome you!”
"Arjun," Sandora touched my arm, "I think you just ruined this child's lifelong dream of the universe."
It's okay, astronaut Emiya and the like are not reliable in the first place.
After the Legion of Heroic Spirits was eliminated, the abnormalities in the inner world and the surface world gradually calmed down. The Garden of Death began to retrace the spatial coordinates and prepare to return the "refrigerated" Fuyuki City to its original position, while we began to discuss the next step.
The Matou family summoned the Legion of Heroic Spirits, or in other words, they summoned a heroic spirit who would later be called Augustus. This was already a certainty, and this Legion of Heroic Spirits also had a great relationship with the Red Moon in the other world.
Based on these clues, we can infer many things.
"First of all, false priests have absolutely nothing to do with all this."
Tohsaka is thoughtful, and she is now certain that Kirei Kotomine played a role in fueling the entire incident.
"Caster, you can enter the other world, and Sasaki summoned by you can use the light of the red moon to increase his strength. The origin of all this is because the fake priest gave you a black crystal dagger, right?"
Medea nodded silently: "Indeed, everything is his plan."
"The Roman legions can also enter the other world. Even according to what you said, uncle alien, they must rely on the other world if they want to appear on a large scale, and they can continue to resurrect under the red moon. These are very similar to Sasaki's situation, so I
I feel that the fake priest may have also helped the Matou family cheat."
This idea is very possible, but the key question is, what is the significance of this?
Is giving the two participants in the Holy Grail War a huge cheating advantage so that one of them can securely win the war? Is this of any value to Kotomine?
"The only way is to ask the fake priest in person, but he probably won't tell the truth." Tohsaka yawned long, "The other thing is the Matou family. Although they look like pawns, they
They should know more than Caster: the cheating device given to them by the fake priest is even more powerful."
"But now I think it's best to go back and get some sleep..."
Adding another long yawn, Tohsaka said with a troubled expression.
Yes, everyone today, uh, except for the Xiling people who are still very energetic, is already very tired. Anyway, the Matou family and the Kotomine Church can't escape right there, and they must have completed this attack.
, Old Man Matou will definitely be waiting at home for us to come to look for trouble. If we go home and sleep unscathed at this time, who knows how depressed the other party will be?
It’s interesting to think about it.
The surrounding space couldn't help twisting and oscillating. After a few seconds, the Tohsaka family's mansion reappeared in front of us. This time it was a normal version. Seeing that his house was safe and sound, even though he knew it from the beginning, Tohsaka couldn't help but relax.
Take a breath.
As a young lady who is always worried that her house will be demolished, I have really worked hard on you these past few days.
"Hmm...will Dingdang be thrown out again today?"
I said good night to everyone and returned to my room. Just as I was about to step in, the little thing suddenly poked his head out of his pocket and said aggrievedly.
Shandora and I were stunned for a moment, and suddenly we had the same idea in mind: What's going on with this kind of glue-like young couple having a headache of coaxing their children to sleep next door?
"Ajun hates Dingdang?"
The little one was still talking pitifully, destroying my sense of guilt with five plus points of cuteness.
"Okay... I'll prepare a bigger lampshade for you." Finally, I looked helplessly at Sandora, pressed the little one's head with my fingertips, and chose to surrender.
"Yeah!" The little one cheered on the spot, "I can be with Jun again today!"
Hey! If you shout like this, Sandora will probably regret it and throw you out again!
