Under the early morning sunlight, Percival stood on the lawn with his eyes closed, letting the birds sit on his armor.
After a night of contact with Maxwell and others.
He already knows all the things happening in this world.
The invasion of the world government, the war-torn Britain, the threatened Catholic faith, and the raging vampires.
These completely correspond to their various identities.
He is not only a Knight of the Round Table of King Arthur of Great Britain, but also a noble knight who is known in the legend as "the one who bears the Holy Grail" and "responsible for guarding the Holy Spear".
The Holy Spear is the Spear of Longinus that has been transformed into a Noble Phantasm.
So I can completely understand why I was the one who was summoned.
The Pope's appeal to him is to protect the Vatican from excessive oppression by the world government.
to be honest.
Percival was not confident in this, after all, he was the only heroic spirit on his side.
But since you have been called, you should go all out.
But he also hopes to fight for Britain, which is being invaded.
No matter how you say you are a Knight of the Round Table.
The Pope and others hesitated about this, saying that they needed to discuss it.
They mainly felt that Percival would feel safer staying here.
There was an attack on the Vatican some time ago, but in the end no one was left alive.
If there had been Percival and Father Anderson at that time, the other party would definitely have to pay the price for his evil deeds!
Percival didn't say anything about this. Anyway, as a servant, he basically has no power to act independently.
At this time, footsteps sounded from behind.
"Percival."
A refreshed Maxwell came over with a happy face.
Because he is already an archbishop.
"Owner."
Percival opened his eyes, turned around slightly, and greeted him respectfully.
[Crash--]
The birds flew away on their own very wisely.
"His Majesty the Pope and the bishops of the Council of Cardinals have decided to form the Ninth Crusade and send it to the United Kingdom to join forces with the military of other countries to fight against the Astral Legion of the World Government. It is best to create a stalemate with them and promote formal negotiations between the two parties.
"
Maxwell spread his arms excitedly and laughed.
"And I was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Crusade. As long as the task is almost completed and I come back, I can be promoted to a cardinal!"
This is almost like training him as the next pope.
Percival is a very good listener and also likes to take care of the younger ones.
He could see that his master, although his thoughts were a bit extreme, had the potential to become a great person.
So Percival hopes to teach the other person to get back on track in the next relationship.
"It seems that you have worked very hard for it, thank you for your hard work, my master."
Maxwell was stunned by this sentence.
The heart that had been cold for more than ten years suddenly felt a warmth.
He did argue with the opposing bishops at the conference table.
Constantly stressing the importance of keeping the war burning outside and the folly of clinging to the Vatican.
It can be said that it was really noisy almost all night!
certainly.
It is also the identity of 'Master Percival' that gives him enough confidence and the qualification to beat the table.
"Well, I'm really trying my best, but so far, it seems that only you have seen it." Maxwell sighed.
Percival shook his head: "No, I can see that Father Anderson also cares about you. He should be a very good teacher, but he doesn't know how to say it like me."
Maxwell murmured: "Teacher Anderson."
"Haha, let's go, eat first, I'm so hungry, and then rush to the battlefield together, my master!"
Percival patted the other party's shoulder and smiled.
After a while.
The contemporary Pope, Maxwell, Anderson and others saw each other's amazing appetite at the dinner table.
The tabletops on both sides of the other party were almost full of "mountains of dinner plates" that the waiters had no time to take away.
But Percival is still eating!
at the same time.
As the papal orders were issued one after another.
The major knights and aviation units began to gather at Fiumicino Airport, located west of the Vatican, about 24 kilometers away.
As long as Maxwell, Anderson, Percival and others arrive.
Let the former give a pre-war mobilization speech.
Then they can fly to England to join the war
As time went by, the battle became more and more tragic.
The British army that retreated to Manchester, under the offensive of the 4th Heavy Combined Brigade and the Army Star Force, could only continue to run towards Sheffield.
Fortunately, the reinforcements from Leeds and Birmingham helped them share a lot of pressure.
But as the commander, Colonel King Bradley did not move the base to Manchester, but continued to stay in Liverpool.
Because the coast of Liverpool can allow the naval fleet of his brigade to dock and include them under the protection of the base command.
So the Manchester side was handed over to a group of subordinates.
Its leader is his fellow countryman, who came from the Alkmi Kingdom in the Teigu World.
But she is an extremely rare female officer.
Olivia Mira Armstrong!
That's right.
She is the sister of the ‘mighty alchemist’ Armstrong!
But Olivia is not an alchemist due to lack of talent.
However, she is proficient in commanding the army, good at swordsmanship, is a super military maniac, and has the aura of a powerful queen.
Because she is often called 'the queen whose heart turns to ice' by her subordinates.
Hence the nickname ‘Ice Queen’.
Doesn’t it look a lot like Esdeath?
But actually Esdeath looks a lot like Olivia
A heavy-duty synthetic regiment has about two thousand troops, not counting various armored units, which is enough to fight tens of thousands of troops in this world.
Not to mention there is a second group in the south facing Birmingham.
Therefore, Kim Bradley did not worry too much and returned to the lounge on time to replenish sleep and energy.
But unexpectedly, Yuri suddenly woke him up after one o'clock.
"What's going on?"
Kim Bradley immediately opened his eyes and got up.
"A regiment stationed in Manchester was attacked by a large number of vampire soldiers. Major Olivia was leading the troops to fight, but was obviously at a disadvantage and needed support."
Kim Bradley frowned after hearing this, with murderous intent in his eyes.
At this time, Manchester was already filled with gunfire.
From time to time, there will be explosions of grenades or rocket launchers.
The people hiding in their homes were so frightened that they were terrified.
The 1st Heavy Regiment is based near Manchester Airport.
Therefore, this is also the main attack direction of vampire soldiers.
However, the astral soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys were also attacked by them.
Although the vampire soldiers are agile and agile, ordinary human soldiers are no match for them.
But fortunately, as long as the Astral Soldiers use the Demon Slayer Breathing Technique they have learned and cooperate with the auxiliary aiming of the tactical eyepiece, they can completely keep up with the former's movements.
In addition, the infantry fighting vehicles can serve as bunkers and provide heavy machine gun firepower, so the battle situation is not one-sided.
But overall, it was indeed suppressed.
Basically, as long as the distance is closed enough to allow hand-to-hand combat.
Most astral soldiers have a hard time defeating vampire soldiers.
Even if they have long knives on their backs.
But not Olivia!
"The breath of thunder. The shape of one. The flash of thunder."
Thunder rumbled, and lightning tore through the darkness.
The blond female officer with the nickname "Ice Queen" used the "Thunder Breath" sword move.
On the necks of the four vampires along the way, wounds were cut with blood splattering all over them.
It stands to reason that this is not very fatal to them.
But who would have expected that the skin, flesh and blood around the wound would begin to scorch and rot visibly to the naked eye, until the head was attacked and he fell heavily to the ground, completely losing his life.
"I see, is the Nichirin Sword useful to you too?"
Olivia held the knife, turned around, glanced at the surrounding vampire soldiers with her icy blue eyes, and revealed a sarcastic sneer.
This made the latter feel a strong sense of uneasiness, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
What exactly is that knife?
