In order to taste the ecstasy of war infinitely, I must join the Astral Legion!
These two sentences quickly spread throughout the astral military in the giant world.
Some people admire it, and some people think it is arrogant.
But they all remembered the name Montana Max.
It even reached the army headquarters in Haixing's homeland.
at the same time.
The 1st Heavy Combined Brigade and the 4th Heavy Combined Brigade under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Konev and Colonel Kim Bradley who landed on the British mainland.
‘MCV’ (Mobile Construction Vehicle) has been successfully launched in Stranraer, Scotland, and Liverpool, England.
But they deliberately did not activate the 'Phantom Tower' this time.
It is to use satellites to allow all countries to clearly see the light prism towers, wind stone towers, electromagnetic towers, air defense towers, radar towers and many other buildings rising from the ground.
Rapidly prototyping in the work of a group of ‘SCVs’ (fully automated construction vehicles), the towering, upright, spectacular scene of electricity and magical light complement each other.
Colonel Anatoly's 3rd Heavy Combined Brigade is also about to break through the combined fleets of France and Spain.
It will then enter France from the Saint-Lô peninsula and head towards Paris.
Just when Ireland and the UK were fighting each other.
Far away in Rome, Italy, the years are still peaceful.
Citizens still leisurely learned about the war situation through television and newspapers.
Because no one thought the war would reach here.
After all, this is also where the ‘Holy City’ Vatican City is located.
At night, at 10:55, the stars are shining brightly.
Warm lights illuminate St. Peter's Basilica.
at this time.
Deep underground, a dozen priests in white robes were busy in the empty hall.
"The ritual array and holy relics are ready, and the time is almost up. You can start at any time."
The cardinal in charge of Section 3 of the Relics Management Bureau, Matthew, walked up to Maxwell and reminded him in a deep voice.
In his excitement, Maxwell couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.
Violet-like eyes looked feverishly at the strange and gorgeous circular formation behind the other party.
As well as the Holy Grail and the Spear of Longinus placed inside.
It obviously looks like an old antique from the outside.
At this moment, the light yellow divine light is flashing rhythmically.
But Maxwell knew that the key lies in the magic circle on the ground.
Legend has it that God gave the Vatican two fixed holy formations.
The first is to form an array, which can be used for various biological experiments.
Including Father Anderson, all the combat priests, nuns, and even the paladins of the major knight orders of the Thirteenth Class have undergone body modifications of varying degrees.
Among them, Father Anderson's transformation is the most perfect, and his self-healing ability is stronger than that of many vampires.
The other one is the summoning circle in front of you.
It is said to be able to connect to the mythical Hall of Valor.
Summon a hero from the past or future from the long history, and temporarily sign a master-slave contract with the believer who presides over the ceremony to help the Vatican survive every crisis.
But whether it is a crisis or not is not decided by people.
It depends on whether the magic circle can be activated by the Holy Grail.
If it can, it means God has recognized the crisis. If it can't, it means there is no need for the coming of heroic spirits.
And even if it can be activated, it will consume a lot of divine power in the Holy Grail.
According to historical records, the brilliance of the Holy Grail will become much dimmer after each use, and even cracks will begin to appear on the surface.
In fact, five hundred years ago.
When Accardo planned to come to the Vatican, the contemporary pope wanted to summon heroic spirits to deal with it.
But there was no response from the magic circle at that time, and later it turned out that it was not necessary.
Van Helsing and his party of four successfully defeated Accardo.
So compared to the formation formation that can be used from time to time.
This magic circle has been put on hold for a long time.
The clergy of the Relics Administration routinely sweep away the dust every day.
And now it seems that the time has come to use it again, and judging from the state of the Holy Grail, it may very well be the last time.
Unless God appears again to restore his divine light.
This is also what the Pope and others look forward to most, to prove that God has not given up on them.
Soon, the people in white exited the hall.
Maxwell straightened his clothes.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Father Anderson and Cardinal, he walked nervously to the summoning circle.
“Hiss——hu————”
He touched the holy cloth tied to his left arm that looked like dark red tattered silk.
Then he took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, and at the same time said in his heart:
"I vowed to become great, to stand at the top of the Vatican and look down on everyone here. Now as long as I become the master of heroic spirits, I am qualified to touch the throne of the Pope."
Maxwell was abandoned by his parents because he was born into a concubine, and grew up in a Vatican orphanage.
I just feel that the eyes around me are full of contempt, so I long for status, power, glory, and want to be the superior.
His eyes suddenly became firm, and he began to chant in Italian a mantra that he had already memorized by heart.
"I, the Bishop of the Thirteenth Class of the Vatican's Dharma Palace, Enrico Maxwell, declare here!"
The magic circle on the ground and the holy cloth on his left arm suddenly glowed with scarlet light.
Instantly illuminates the face of this ambitious and increasingly excited man.
"Your body is entrusted to my command, and my destiny is attached to your sword. Respond to the call of the Holy Grail, follow this will, and those of reason, answer me!"
"I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who brings together all the evil in the world!"
"Seven days entwined with the three great word spirits, cross the wheel of suppression and appear, the guardian of the Holy Grail!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling white light bloomed in the magic circle.
The holy cloth also emits a burst of red energy, which merges into the back of Maxwell's left hand, forming a red curse mark.
When all the light dissipated, the three people in the hall opened their eyes.
The fragments of the Holy Cloth fell to the ground, the Holy Grail in the magic circle was completely broken, and the Spear of Longinus was broken into three sections.
Their mission ends here.
But Maxwell, Anderson, and the cardinal turned a blind eye to this, focusing on the shadows emerging from the smoke.
Who is the heroic spirit summoned?
He has a steady temperament, a handsome face, blue eyes, an innocent smile, short white hair, and a burly figure.
Wearing gorgeous armor with silver light and holding a strange-shaped spear.
Just standing there makes people feel friendly and reliable.
Then he saw the other party glance at the spear in his hand.
Then he half-knelt down under Maxwell's surprised gaze.
"My name is Percival de Galle, and my job description is Lancer."
"This holy spear should have been stored in a suitable place."
"No matter how honorable it is for me to have a seat at the Round Table, it should not be owned by a knight."
"But Humanity... selected this holy spear, Longinus, as my Noble Phantasm."
"Perhaps the impending crisis has already reached this level of seriousness."
"Then, I will respond and stand at the forefront of the battlefield holding the holy spear."
