Chapter 38: Comparison of Strength between the Enemy and Ourselves
Dongzhi Village is a village built on the back of the mountain in a very hidden location.
If it wasn't hidden, I'm afraid it would have been trampled by the knights long ago.
The Holy City specially set up two guerrilla troops to sweep away the stubborn mountain people. One was led by Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, and the other was led by Mordred.
The Yangtze River Knight is a "young man" who obeys and disobeys orders to massacre ordinary civilians and shows mercy on a daily basis.
Xiao Mo is different.
Just because her father Lion King said something like "Rebellious knights still have a role", she was extremely filial at the moment.
Moreover, Xiao Mo has inherited her father's "ancestral intuition", and her perception is very keen.
There was no need to search. As long as she felt something was wrong, she would use the "cheating sword" in her hand to blast it away. She didn't know how many villages outside the mountains suffered as a result.
It was a joy to kill the naughty kid. If the East Village and the West Village hadn't been hidden deep enough, I'm afraid they would have been killed right now.
The gap in strength lies there.
The "Knight of Solemnity" is a demon doll made by the Lion King that has become a semi-heroic spirit.
No matter how incompetent they are at fighting in deep mountains and old forests, the overall quality of the knights is still better than that of ordinary flesh-and-blood mountain warriors, which is enough to make up for some of the unfavorable terrain factors.
Not to mention the strength ratio of Servants, any Knight of the Round Table with a blessing can torture three or four Hassan.
To be able to hold on until now, Hassan the Cursed Wrist, Hassan Baimian and others are cautious and strong enough.
Under the leadership of Arash, everyone successfully arrived at the village that was still alive before sunset.
"This is the East Village? It feels very good."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at this simple and simple village, but it gave people a warm and peaceful feeling.
The architectural layout of Dongzhi Village is rather peculiar. There are low adobe bungalows scattered around the mountain. They seem to be embedded into the mountain. They seem scattered, but they are orderly in chaos and do not give people a sense of chaos.
At this time, the villagers are preparing dinner.
The curling smoke rises in the glow of the setting sun, hazy and peaceful.
Sweet spring water still flows in several mountain springs. Women lined up in a queue chatting, carefully collecting water in wooden buckets, and calling the children who are still playing to go home...
The school girl's eyes lit up, she showed a knowing smile, and her voice was particularly sweet:
“It is not as majestic and magnificent as the Pharaoh’s Great Temple, nor is it as white, flawless and unbeatable as the Holy City.
But this is a place where people really live, and you can feel people’s love for their home. It’s so warm~”
"So, even though I had a glimpse outside the city gate and found that the interior of the Holy City of Camelot was as beautiful as a paradise on earth, I knew that it was not a place for people to live.
No matter how much the Holy City looks like a Utopia, it is still an Oceania without a heart."
Renn smiled faintly and expressed his agreement.
After arriving in this simple and peaceful village, even his spirit gradually relaxed and he enjoyed the sunset.
Oceania?
Matthew asked curiously:
"Then what kind of utopia do seniors have in mind?"
"Girl, there is no utopia in this world. All societies that claim to be ideal, perfect, and flawless will eventually lead to dystopia.
The Holy City is like this, an immortal thousand-year kingdom, a chalk city without disasters...it's essentially just a beautiful cage."
Ren said with a slight smile.
The Lion King has no feelings. Although she wants to retain the human fire out of "goodness", she cannot understand human emotions at all. This is even more extreme than when the Knight King said "the king is not a human being" and has given up treatment.
"Is it like the world described by George Orwell and Huxley?" The school girl blinked her watery eyes.
Ren glanced at her with a slightly surprised look: "You still know this, girl, read less of these political satire novels in the future, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is more suitable for you."
"knew."
Mashu pouted and complained in his mind - Don't you read it yourself? Otherwise, why are you so familiar with these names and words?
The conversation between the two made others confused.
Despite Matthew's always timid and cute appearance, the girl does have little life experience but a rich reserve of knowledge.
After all, she grew up in a sterile environment and could not go out to explore the world. One of her hobbies is reading, especially books describing "what the outside world is like" that arouse her greatest curiosity.
"Haha, I don't understand what was said, but you just like it here." Arash walked over with a smile.
After discussing with some Dongzhi Village villagers, he began to allocate houses and residences to the refugees one by one.
"You get along well with Assassin."
After Ren was called by Arash to hunt together, Leonardo da Vinci came over and put his arms around Matthew's shoulders and smiled.
"It's okay. I think the senior is quite young. He may not be as old or ancient as we guessed. He is almost the same as the Master." The school girl replied in a low voice.
"I feel the same way." Guda nodded and added in a lower voice, "I don't even feel like he is a heroic spirit."
"It makes sense, maybe he is really a social youth, easy to deceive...cough." Da Vinci smiled like a profiteer.
Maybe she didn't find a breakthrough, otherwise why couldn't she fool him into coming to Chaldea to work overtime with her sharp tongue?
Matthew: "..."
Guda: "..."
I am not telling you to lie to others, DaVinci-chan.
As night falls, a bright moon hangs in the sky, and its soft light makes the village seem to be covered with a hazy veil.
After safely arriving at the East Village, the refugees and Chaldea's group at least had a place to settle down.
Unfortunately, there are no suitable spiritual veins or magic nodes near the East Village, and Leonardo da Vinci said it was impossible to set up a magic barrier here.
In other words, it is not absolutely hidden here, and there is a possibility of being discovered.
Beep, Beep, Beep~
The strong flames danced on the dry firewood, illuminating the mottled old walls around it. In the living room of this larger adobe house, a group of people sat on the floor around the bonfire.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Grilled skewers made of clean wild boar, chimera, and wyvern meat are roasted on the charcoal fire, and the aroma is rich.
This was the result of Arash and Ren's hunting. Most of the meat was given to the villagers, and the rest was enough to hold a bonfire party.
Paired with radish and green vegetable soup, this late night snack is not bad.
"Here, enjoy this fine wine I bought from the ancient Oriental website."
There was a ripple in the space at hand. Ren smiled and took out two bottles of Maotai from "Infinite Arms" and handed one to Arash.
"Hmm~, that's good enough, ha──"
The hero unscrewed the cork and took a sip. He suddenly felt a fire burning in his throat and his face turned a little red.
After one sip, my head seemed to swell, and the taste was not too sour.
"Don't worry, I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight." Master Ren put his arm around his shoulders, "I'm willing to admit defeat. I'll punish myself with two drinks first."
"It's just a hunt, nothing to see."
"But I only shot the wild boar three kilometers away, while you shot down the wyvern five kilometers away with one arrow."
The two of them had gone hunting together before, and they could not help but compare their archery skills.
Renn is also an archer, and he held the Archer class in the fifth Holy Grail War that just passed. Of course, as he fought, both his enemies and friends subconsciously ignored this.
After all, when he cuts people with his sword, he is very violent, like a berserker.
However, his archery skills are not bad. After all, he once used a holy sword as an arrow to take away Uncle B's life. In terms of skill, he is slightly better than Red A - mainly because his clairvoyance is more advanced than him.
Of course, compared with a shooter like Arash, it's not that interesting.
Name:Arash
Class:Archer
Strength: B
Durability:A
Agility: B
Magic:E
Lucky :D
Noble Phantasm: B
Class skills: C against magic, C alone.
Inherent skills: Clairvoyance A, strong and strong
EX, bow and arrow making A.
Noble Phantasm: Stella
Grade:B
Category: Anti-army Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~99
Maximum capture: 900 people
A powerful arrow, the ultimate shot as described in the legend...
──
Look at this panel of the big hero. There is no doubt that he is a top-notch archer.
The two A-level inherent skills are related to archery. The power and reloading speed of level A are 50-50 comparable to Tristan with the goddess's blessing.
His Noble Phantasm is also an arrow-type attack, which is extremely powerful. When written against an army, it actually means against a city or a country. B (120) means that it is stronger than A (100) at the limit.
Counting only the abilities related to the Archer class, Renn is really not comparable.
He and Jin Shining are not so much archers as artillerymen with war-level bombing capabilities. There is no difference between "Infinite Arms", "King's Treasure" and the Noble Phantasm Cannon.
"But you are an Assassin class this time. If you switch to the Archer class, you should be better than me. And this time is nothing. Let's compare with each other next time."
Arash smiled and drank a glass of Maotai with Ren, sticking out his tongue.
Little did he know that these words made someone blush.
Renn: But even if I switch to the Archer class, my shooting skills will not improve.
The effect of class on his abilities is actually very limited, just like a living hero who only has class tendencies but no real class.
C Flash just changed Wang Cai's output method. You wouldn't think that he would suddenly become very good at chanting spells and casting spells without relying on related Noble Phantasms, right?
After all, when it comes to fighting, you don't have to swing an ax...
Saying that Ren's archery skills will improve after becoming Archer class is just to put money on his face.
He dares to brag about dual-wielding mad battles and being a first-rate mage.
Forget it about being a first-class archer. If he really picks up a bow and competes with Cui Sadness on his archery skills, he will be cut into eight pieces by the demon string.
"Come on, do it!"
"Dry!"
Although they did not dare to show off their archery skills, Master Ren and Arash still drank happily.
They are all the kind of bold men, and sometimes friendships just start over a drink.
"Hey, give me a drink." Maybe it was because the Moutai was too fragrant. Da Vinci looked curious and wanted to try it.
Lane flatly refused: "No, minors can't drink."
"I'm not a minor."
"But Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka are, you can't lead them bad."
da Vinci:"……"
Why does it feel like he's always on guard against her, not even letting her have a drink together to have some friendship.
Little did he know that Ren didn't want to get too close to the profiteers, lest he be betrayed.
He had long discovered that she was evil-minded and lusted after his body.
Whoosh~
Half an hour later, a ghostly shadow appeared.
"Ashamed that I let all the guests see my immature side."
After confirming that Saliya and Rushed were asleep, Hassan, the cursed arm wearing a white skull mask, finally reappeared in front of everyone.
Under the curious gazes of Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, Shizuo smiled bitterly and sighed:
"There is nothing to hide now. What Shariya said is true. This singularity is the era I once fought for. In the distant past, before I became Hassan Sabah, my name was indeed Hanam.
.”
"..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and Da Vinci looked at each other in confusion.
This kind of thing about being summoned to the era of one's own existence and meeting an abandoned old lover is indeed a bit magical.
However, no one could say much about Curse Wrist's choice back then.
Curse Wan took a deep breath:
"Let's put this topic to rest for now. We have more important issues to solve now."
"food!"
Arash put down his wine glass with a serious expression: "Originally, the food in the village was barely enough. The arrival of a new batch of refugees has exacerbated the food crisis in the village. We must find ways to find more food sources."
They could barely survive by hunting alone, and this also left several servants with little ability to do anything else.
"Is it okay to open up wasteland?" Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately proposed to open up farmland.
Leonardo da Vinci shook his head and rejected his suggestion: "The idea is good, but it cannot be realized at this unique point."
She took out a ball of soil wrapped in a strip of cloth, crumpled it into a ball and placed it on the table - loose soil could hardly condense into shape after leaving the earth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It can be seen with the naked eye that these dry and barren soils lack the vitality to nurture life.
"Unfortunately, your judgment is correct. The content of various organic matter in the soil at this special point is incredibly low, making it almost impossible to grow crops."
Doctor Roman's projection appears.
He also came to this conclusion after testing it with Chaldean equipment.
Farming is not possible.
At least not the conventional way.
Cursed Wrist nodded and continued to explain: "Since the appearance of the Lion King, our world has begun to lose its vitality.
The earth is dry and cracked...crops, flowers, plants and trees have withered one after another, and the area of desertified land is getting wider and wider."
He led everyone outside the house, pointed to the nearby barren hills with the help of firelight and said:
"This mountain forest was originally covered with green plants and inhabited by countless birds and beasts. After the arrival of the Lion King, it gradually turned into the desolate scene before you.
World of Warcraft and alien monsters are running rampant, and there are fewer and fewer normal creatures."
This phenomenon made Dr. Roman, who was responsible for making suggestions, frown and think:
"The longer time passes, the dimmer the hope of humanity in this world will become. The distorted history of the sixth singularity must be repaired as soon as possible!"
In fact, the world can no longer survive for a few months and will be over.
Cursed Wrist Hassan said in a weak tone:
"We also want to defeat the Lion King and his Knights of the Round Table as soon as possible, but the power of the people alone is not enough.
Not to mention the Lion King who is too powerful to be human, the Knights of the Round Table under her alone are difficult to deal with!"
So far, the people of the mountain have suffered heavy losses. "Shock Tube" Hassan died at the hands of Lancelot, and "Shadow Strip" Hassan was burned to ashes by Gawain's Sun Sword. Not long ago, it was confirmed that Tristan had killed
"Smoking drunk" Hassan...
"And those executioners and the Knights of the Round Table who uphold the spirit of chivalry in King Arthur's legend seem to be completely different people. They didn't show any mercy when they slaughtered civilians who had no ability to resist!"
There was some hatred in Hassan's words.
"..."
Matthew clenched her hands with a sad expression, and she didn't know why she suddenly felt this way.
Knight Bedivere's eyes were even more gloomy, and his fingers were clenched until they turned white.
"Now that we have joined forces with the Egyptian side, can't we still gain an advantage?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked calmly.
Cursed Wrist glanced at the new combat powers of Ren, Bedivere, Matthew, and Leonardo da Vinci, and his tone was still cautious:
"No, even if the Egyptian side is added, according to the latest situation you provided, we actually don't have much advantage."
The current strength comparison between the two sides is as follows:
Ordinary mountain warriors + Sphinx Legion, VS the solemn knights of the Holy City.
In terms of conventional armed forces, we cannot say who has the upper hand. It all depends on coordination and fighting style.
But the premise is that the food problem can be solved, otherwise the hungry mountain people will be unable to compete with the inhuman group of solemn knights, even with the help of the Sphinx Legion.
As for the power of the servant level.
Holy City Side:
The Lion King, Morgan, Gawain, Lancelot, Mordred, Tristan, and Agaven, a total of 7 people.
Allied side:
There are 10 people in total: Renn, La Er, King Da Mao (Four Dao), Mashu, Arash, Da Vinci, Bedivere, Nitocris, Hassan the Cursed Wrist, and Hassan Baimei.
It seems that the coalition side is more numerous, but the average levels of the two sides are not equal at all.
"Defending a city and attacking it are two different things. Don't ignore Morgan Le Fay, the great magician of the God's Domain. With her, the defense of the Holy City has at least reached a higher level. You will never be able to attack it without paying the price of blood!"
Dr. Roman said in a deep voice, seeming to have a headache for Morgan.
No one knows better than him, the former "Magic King", how difficult it is for a top magician like Morgan to complete the installation of a temple like the Holy City of Camelot.
The current Holy City is not the one in Britain. It is actually the shell of the Holy Spear...
"As for the Servant battle, Ren's spiritual strength is the strongest among all the heroic spirits present. But it is not enough to suppress the Lion King. Ozymandias must be added. In this way..."
Roman felt a headache and tapped his forehead with his finger.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Ren nodded:
"I alone am not enough to suppress the Lion King. I need to join forces with the Sun King. Only in this way can I ensure that the goddess Teng cannot take action and continuously use the Holy Judgment to destroy the army."
The difference is a world of difference. Since he has not stabilized the crown spiritual base, it does not count as the crown. It is simply unrealistic for him to single-handedly suppress the Holy Spear Goddess who is close to the main god level near the Holy City.
Even with the same title, there are strong and weak points. The "God Ancestor" Romulus is obviously stronger than the Superman Bear Orion.
"Then we won't have any advantage."
Da Vinci was still smiling, but his tone was not relaxed at all.
The results of the matchup are basically as follows:
Ren + Ra Er VS The Lion King, a fight between gods and gods. There are too many uncertainties to predict the outcome.
Four times VS three times Gawain, Artoria has a greater chance of winning.
Matthew VS Lancelot, this should be a win. The Yangtze River Knight is very strong, but he is useless in front of his son or daughter.
Tristan VS Arash, both are top-notch archers, 50-50.
Xiaobei VS Age rules, Xiaobei has a silver arm and should be able to suppress him.
However, the cursed wrist + hundreds of faces of Leonardo da Vinci, all three together may not be able to defeat Xiao Mo with the blessing of "Rampage".
Then Nitocris dealt with the Enchantress Morgan. Thinking about it, she knew that Nitocris would be beaten to death. It would be useless to send a Da Vinci there.
The above is still the most ideal situation, and the siege team cannot make any mistakes.
Some people say that there is also Mr. Wang Ha.
But there may be more than a dozen Demon God Pillars on the opposite side, plus many cannon fodder monsters that have been cultivated, so they can be held back for a while.
Renn is very sure that with Morgan's integrity, he will definitely unite with the Demonic Pillar!
Just like the doctor said, as the siege party, if a decisive battle starts now, the coalition forces will have no advantage at all.
So──
Master Ren stood up and said:
"I propose to attack that outpost first and summon powerful enough helpers!"
