Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"Is the conquest of Rome a game to make up for regrets?" Hearing Rider's speculation, Yi Guang thought about it carefully, "Not really, it's impossible..."

Although the plots of the various Holy Grail Wars in the Fate series have misunderstood audiences, thinking that summoning heroic spirits is a very normal thing in the moon world, but in fact, in the setting, the summoning of heroic spirits is an extremely rare phenomenon.What's more, based on the huge total number of heroic spirits, even if the call of the Holy Grail War occurs, the chance of a specific servant being drawn is even slimmer.For those heroic spirits with regrets or wishes, it has always been something that can be encountered but not sought after.

And generally speaking, even if luck breaks out and is summoned to become a servant, the heroic spirits participating in the Holy Grail War are often subject to the master's spell and cannot act according to their own will, and what's more, they may be forced to commit suicide—for example, a certain brush, a certain Big dog in blue; female servants may also be forced to provide some indescribable services to the master or even be abused - such as sister R and mother C.

So like the singularity, the situation that allows the heroic spirit to move freely is no longer a once-in-a-lifetime situation that can be described. If you insist on it, it is simply a miracle among miracles.Therefore, the servants who are summoned by the distortion of the singularity will have extremely high mobility and strong obsession, trying to complete things that were not completed during their lifetime.The most typical one is Queen Maeve, who appeared in the plot of FGOChapter 5. It can be said that it was completely for the selfishness of herself and Cu Chulainn, and involved the entire America in the flames of war.

But now, after being summoned by a different rank, the Great Caesar also showed the same style of doing whatever he wanted, dragging the empire he created into division and war.

Well, no matter whether that Caesar the Great wants to play or what he wants, for these system hosts, their goal is simple and clear: kill the reincarnation, kill Caesar, and seize the Holy Grail.As for repairing humanity?This is incidental, and completing the task is serious.

Incorporating the remnants of the West Route Army is indeed an unexpected gain. Regardless of Yi Guang and Huan Ye, they are not very happy, because according to the information they got from the head of the Gaul Army, the West Route Army is one of the three routes. The least valued and weakest of all.Judging from the map of the Roman Empire, because the western part of Italy is the farthest from Rome, and most of the area is on the Mediterranean coast, there are not many large cities.Several important cities in western Italy are concentrated in the northwest and are already under the control of the United Empire, while the remaining central and southern regions are relatively backward, and the Roman Empire's army deployment there is relatively weak.Therefore, the West Route Army is considered to be the lightest task and the least valued force.

However, Caesar probably also considered that Chaldea summoned new servants, so he arranged two five-star reincarnations here, on the one hand as guards, and on the other as supervisors.

"It seems that the group of reincarnated people are quite trusted by Caesar. From the information I got, except for the central army guarded by Caesar himself, the other two groups of people have sent reincarnated people as supervisors. And their power It is very big, and the commander of the legion is also restrained by them." Yi Guang recalled the information he got from the mind of the man with glasses, "It seems that they helped Caesar accomplish something important, so they were favored by Caesar .”

"For Caesar, it's a big deal..." Yi Guang touched his chin, "If Rider's thinking is correct, and even the conquest of Rome is just a game to make up for regrets for Caesar, then what else can be done?" Call it a 'big thing'?"

"In the plot of FGO, his wish is to see his lover Cleopatra VII again, and their son, the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Caesarion." Huan Ye scratched his face, "If there is anything that can be called a big event for the Caesars of this world, it is probably the case. Seeing Cleopatra VII again and hugging their son Caesar Leon. But now, I'm not sure that's what he wants, after all, he's been so zealous about conquering Rome...huh?"

At the end, Huan Ye's eyes changed, as if he had thought of something.But she didn't speak immediately, but kept frowning, while Yi Guang and Rider didn't respond to this and continued to discuss.

"Could it be that the reincarnated people figured out a way to help Caesar summon Cleopatra VII through the summoning of heroic spirits?" Yi Guang thought for a while and said, "They hold the Holy Grail, and there is reincarnation The ability and props from other worlds are used as assistance... It seems that it is not impossible to designate and summon a certain heroic spirit."

"This possibility is really a bit high..." Rider also nodded, "But until there is no real evidence, this can only be said to be speculation."

"But if Caesar really succeeds in summoning Cleopatra VII, then our battle will be very difficult. Because Caesar may not just regard this war as a game, he is serious Huan Ye suddenly sighed, "And, if it is really as I guessed... I feel like I have become a villain."

"What do you mean?" Yi Guang and Rider looked at Huan Ye at the same time, then frowned.

"There is no one who can stop me. When I have mastered the whole of Rome and succeeded in my expedition to the Kingdom of Parthia, I will definitely come to welcome you back as an official wife and make Caesarion my son." Announce this matter to the whole world." Huan Ye suddenly uttered a line that was obviously quoted, and then explained, "This is recorded in the FGO setting collection. Before Caesar was assassinated, he left Egypt. The agreement I made with Cleopatra VII at that time... But, everyone knows the following things, the flag of 'finish this ticket and go back to my hometown to get married' can't be set casually. You guys, understand what I mean? "

"That is to say, if our assumptions are true, 'conquering Rome' is not Caesar's real goal, nor is it his game, but something that must be completed and a prerequisite for realizing his wish." Yi Guang sighed, "He wants, in this singularity, to complete his agreement with Cleopatra...to conquer Rome, and then declare her to be his queen."

"Yes, in this case, it is really a life-and-death contest between the two parties." Huan Ye shrugged, "This can also explain why, as the founder of the empire, Caesar would treat his descendant Nero , and the people of Rome are so ruthless... He understands the truth of this singularity, and knows that his time is running out. Cleopatra's promise."

"There's no difference." Rider waved his hand, "Whether it's an agreement or ambition, we and Caesar are originally opposites. In order to restore humanity, we must take the Holy Grail from him... Do you think that the Conqueror Emperor , Will you take the initiative to hand over your belongings?"

"Exactly, so nothing has changed." Yi Guang also nodded, "Forget it, let's talk about something else, how will His Majesty Nero plan to deal with the remnants of the West Route Army?"

……

"Has the West Route Army been wiped out?"

Florence, the central city of Italy, is a famous commercial and cultural center city in Italy.During the Renaissance period in history, Florence not only became a famous cultural city in Italy, but also became an important birthplace of modern European civilization.Leonardo da Vinci, Dante, Galileo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Boccaccio, Machiavelli...Florence at that time bred and gathered these artists like stars He and thinkers opened the door from the religious culture of the Middle Ages to modern civilization in the West.It can be said that without the city of Florence, the Renaissance in history would have been eclipsed, and it might not even have such a huge historical impact.

But now this city has become the camp of the heroic spirit, Caesar the Great, where the main force of the United Empire gathered, and he marched southward, carrying his unfulfilled wish.

Unfortunately, what came today was the news of a defeat.

"Yes, respected Caesar..." said the woman kneeling in front of the throne, her face was as pale and strange as ever, "Our team has been raided, led by two extremely powerful heroic spirits, we The two were not their opponents, and our leader died at their hands."

"Is your leader already sacrificed?" The expression of the indifferent man on the throne moved slightly, "He is a powerful warrior, and so are you, he can kill the two of you and injure the other... see Come, these are two very powerful Heroic Spirits."

"Yes, we have confirmed that one of them is the demigod hero in Indian mythology, Karna, the son of the sun wheel. But the other person, we cannot determine her identity, her body is hidden in the black mist, holding A black dagger, and at the same time, it can summon a huge phantom of a skeleton to fight for itself."

Although the man with glasses saw the clues that Huan Ye and the others were time travelers before he died, he was shot dead by Yi Guang before he could tell his companions about it. Mistaking Iko for the legendary Satellite Servant, Karna [Alter].

"Forget it, the West Route Army was originally the Legion of the Gauls, and I never counted on them from the very beginning." The man on the throne waved his hand, "However, it is quite useful as a pawn to test... As for you, you must accept the punishment of failure, for the sake of helping me summon Cleopatra, you can give it lightly."

"No, please don't... ahhh!!!"

In Caesar's tent, there was a burst of shrill screams.

Chapter 208 Caesar's Wish

"Lord Caesar..."

In Caesar's tent, a pale woman lay on her back like a corpse. Her originally pale face had turned pale.At the same time, traces of blood oozed from the corners of her mouth and eye sockets, and her limbs were weakly attached to the ground.

Everything that happened just now was like a nightmare. Caesar, this heroic spirit who only existed as a comedian in the original plot of FGO, after appearing in the world as Rider, the most suitable class for him, not only his appearance and personality are different from those in the original plot. It is completely different, even the power is extraordinarily powerful.Especially after getting the Holy Grail from the hand of that Leif, his power was amplified by the Holy Grail to the point that even reincarnators like them were afraid of it.

They were originally confident that they could let the founder of the empire, who had returned to the present world as a servant, become their agent in this world.However, when they really put this idea into practice, they realized how ridiculous their idea was.This Caesar is fundamentally different from the fat man in the original plot who uses incitement and eloquence as his greatest weapon to play tricks everywhere.

When the heroic spirit named Caesar looked at them with eyes like looking at the dead, when all of them were instantly seriously injured and fell to the ground under the coercion of Caesar's release of the treasure, they understood The situation of themselves and others - the initiative of this mission is not in their hands.

Perhaps this one who was summoned with the Rider rank in front of him is the real Caesar in history... cold, cunning, mixed with a trace of tyranny, but at the same time has the eloquence and provocative power of the fat man in the game.

"Your punishment is over. Congratulations on surviving. Well, go down." The man on the throne said coldly, "I will spare your life this time, and I don't want to hear the news of your failure again. Use your strange witchcraft to heal your injuries, and then go to help the Eastern Route Army. I think that after this failure, your other companions may need your help."

"Yes, I understand...the great Caesar." Gathering the remaining strength in her body, the woman forcibly got up from the ground, dragged her seriously injured body, and walked out of the tent.

"These strangers are really disturbing..." After watching the other party walk out of the tent, the great emperor on the throne sighed after a long silence, "However, they seem to have some kind of reason to help me ...Hmph, they are a group of useful guys."

"But, if you treat them like this, are you really not afraid of their rebellion?"

At this time, a pleasant voice suddenly came from behind Caesar's throne, and at the same time, a young girl with long gray-blue hair and gorgeous clothes walked out from the curtain behind the throne.Her expression was proud and cold, her steps were light and elegant, and her long hair was carefully combed into small braids, floating behind her like a group of snakes.She came to Caesar's side, then tilted her head, looking at the famous uncrowned king in Roman history.

"So what? This world is just an illusion after all..." Caesar grabbed the girl's hand, and then carefully held it to his face, rubbing his cheek gently, "Humanism is about to be destroyed. After all, this world is just a dream, and it will not last long. I am afraid that these aliens are also subject to some irresistible factors behind them, making them have to stand by my side. If they can betray, as early as When I got the Holy Grail and they broke my face, I already betrayed me. Besides, now that they have reduced their staff by two, their combat power is not as good as before, and I don’t need to worry about their betrayal.”

Caesar put his arms around the girl's waist, and then let her come to his side.

"What I want is not to establish a long-term and stable empire. The world is about to be destroyed. What use do I want this empire?" Caesar sighed, "What I want is to fulfill my promise to you... Although you You might think it's ridiculous, but for me, it's my only wish."

"No, this is not ridiculous, Caesar. I feel... very happy." The girl in her arms, after hearing Caesar's words, tears appeared in her eyes, "I never thought that I would see you again , I never thought that this is what you have been doing before and after the reunion with me! This is not at all like what you used to do."

"Humanity is about to be burned, and human history will cease to exist. As the echo of human history, you and I will also perish together with the humans on this planet. In this case, why don't I use this distorted world to complete our What about the agreement? Perhaps, there will be no more chances in the future.” Caesar sighed, his face was no longer as cold as before, but filled with sadness, “Since we can If we meet again, then I don't want to leave regrets again. This time, my promise to you will be fulfilled!"

"I don't care about these anymore, Caesar..." In Caesar's arms, the legendary last queen of ancient Egypt, Cleopatra VII, shook her head, then smiled slightly at the man holding her, "To see you again, to feel your presence again, is already like a gift from the gods to me, and I am very, very satisfied. The queen, or the right of inheritance, those of us who have long died People don't need to care about these."

"I understand, I understand that everything I do now is meaningless, but I conquered Rome not only for you. It is also for myself, and I want to give myself a break." Caesar said a little unwillingly, " I am Caesar, the founder of this empire! The gods created Rome, and I built the empire. My name was spread by all peoples of later generations, and my statue was sent to the pantheon to stand beside the gods. My deeds have been passed down for thousands of years But this is me...but I can't even fulfill my promise to my beloved woman! I even personally rejected the request to establish her child as my heir! How can such an incompetent man become Caesar? How can he be called the founder of the empire? He is just a despicable villain and coward who uses his past glory and achievements to cover up his inner cowardice and dishonesty!"

The man who bears the name of "Caesar", who can almost be said to be the source of the titles of emperors and kings in the entire European countries, now speaks his heart to the only woman he has ever loved in his life.That's right, as a dead person, as a heroic spirit, worldly wealth and power are meaningless.This body, and even the whole world, are just distorted spaces caused by the Holy Grail's interference with human history.

All things are false, therefore all things are permitted.

When the whole world and even the whole body have become meaningless, what else should Caesar care about?

There are only two things that bother me, right?The first is that he failed to fulfill the agreement with Cleopatra, and the second is that he was assassinated by his confidant Brutus before he was about to ascend the throne of Rome... I still remember that Brutus' dagger It pierced into my body, and the moment I was about to leave this world, what appeared in my mind was the pair of mother and child far away in Egypt.

"Since I can get this chance to come to this world with Rome, I have to make a break with my past self." Caesar's tone was still sad, but there was unquestionable firmness, "Whether it is Whoever it is, whether it be Brutus, Pompey, or the last master of mankind... No one can stop me from accomplishing all this this time!"

"Then, I will accompany you to the end." The last Egyptian queen leaned in Caesar's arms and said in a soft but equally firm tone.

Master of Chaldea, if you can really stop me, maybe we can pin our hopes on you.But if you die in my hands, then naturally there is no need to talk about restoring human reason... On the eve of the destruction of human beings and the entire human history, you will be crushed by my brilliance, let you go first, this is me Caesar The only gift I can give you.

The expression on his face is still self-contained, but in Caesar's heart, it is possible that he does not hope that the Master will stop him.After all, that is the last hope of mankind, if this hope is really strong enough to change the destiny...

Which step can you do?The last master of mankind?

But at this moment, Tatsuka Fujimaru, who was taking care of Matthew in the city of Rome, naturally didn't know that he, a fledgling rookie master, would be so valued by Emperor Caesar.In fact, as a half-baked magician and master, he is not very clear about the weight of his mission and responsibility. The meaning described by the eight words "Save the world, restore human reason" is really a bit broad.

However, this does not affect his growth, nor does it affect his determination. Although he feels confused and ignorant about his mission, he is actually fighting, just for Matthew, the doctor, and Those members of the logistics team who fought in Chaldea and didn't even have their own standing paintings fought.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the director...

These people have all worked hard and sacrificed for the cause of Chaldea and their own journey, so what qualifications do they have to slack off?Even in the past few days staying in Rome with Rider Mash, Fujimaru Tachika did not relax her magic practice.

But when Fujimaru Tachika was doing daily magic exercises, in this city of Rome, which was known as absolutely safe, he encountered a situation that made Fujimaru Tachika look dumbfounded.

A man with long hair, black-rimmed glasses, a suit and leather shoes, but a blood-stained and dying man suddenly fell from the sky and hit Fujimaru Tachika who was doing magic exercises in the courtyard.

Longevity, a dead man fell from the sky!

Chapter 209 The Joining of a New Companion

"I got a big slot..."

In the city of Rome, Fujimaru Tachika was suddenly hit on the spot by a human body falling from the sky in broad daylight. Rider's long-distance communication quickly informed Yi Guang, who was collecting the remnants of the Western Route Army, and was about to return to Rome. And Huan Ye two people.Originally, these two people were confused by the work of recruiting the West Route Army in the past few days. After all, it is not easy to gather a group of remnants and defeated generals.However, after seeing the image sent by Rider's communication and clearly seeing the appearance of the mysterious man who descended from the sky, the two of them were immediately startled.The fatigue of the past few days was immediately swept away, and he began to study the problem of the person in front of him.

Because the identity of the person in front of them really surprised and excited them.

"It's Kong Ming, it's Kong Ming!" Huan Ye yelled, "Er-Melloi II, El-Melloi II!"

"Kong Ritian! Six-star ceiling!" Yi Guang also showed a look of astonishment and excitement, "It's shipped, it's shipped! This is the real Kong Ritian!"

Webber Velvet, also known as Lord El-Melloi II, is the best tutor at the Magic Academy Clock Tower, and is also the acting lord of the El-Melloi School among the thirteen lord families that are its leader , The subject in charge is modern magic.

Although as a magician, his own strength can be said to be the five scumbags, and he is stronger than Fujimaru Tateka, who is a rookie.However, this man has an ability almost comparable to a Servant's "inherent skills" in educating magicians and analyzing the composition of magic.It is often possible to discover the unknown potential of some geek magic apprentices and guide them. It is said that at least one-third of the outstanding students in the clock tower come from his disciples, and are respected and loved by the students.

At the same time, as the basis of educational ability, this man possesses the innate skill called "forensic eyes". A pair of eyes can see through a magician from the essence of magic to the way of life of future generations of magicians.Through magic, even the thoughts and ideas of a specific magician can be interpreted, and he can be called a great theoretical master among the magic.At the same time, through this ability combined with one's own thinking and magic operations, one can even debug other people's magic circuits to complete changes in the nature of magic.

All in all, even as an ordinary magician, this brother is an extremely precious existence.

What's more, according to the plot, since the other party appeared in this singularity with a human body, it meant that another existence more powerful than him had been integrated into his body.That is a legendary figure who has been highly appraised in both official history and romance, and is even considered in folklore to be the incarnation of the two words "unpredictable prophet" and "countless strategy"—— The legendary counselors of the Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Kongming.

"But, why did this person suddenly appear in the city of Rome? The city of Rome is now isolated by the treasures of the gods, so all magic should not be effective in the area of ​​the city of Rome, right?" Rider frowned, "And, the magic of the Xingyue world Master, do you have the ability to move in space over long distances?"

"I don't know if a normal Xingyue world magician can teleport over a long distance, but this one is definitely fine." Huan Ye said calmly, "This is Al with a pair of forensic eyes." Mero II, and the heroic spirit attached to him, is Zhuge Kongming, the strongest military strategist of the Three Kingdoms. I don’t know how powerful Kongming is in the real history, but the Three Kingdoms in the Moon World...in a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he only showed his face in the early stage , and Chen Gong, who is not at the top level, can rub treasures with his hands and predict the future. Then, how strong will Zhuge Kongming, the so-called strongest military strategist, be? How many unknown methods and skills will he have?"

"Exactly, the Creator Mushroom of the Moon World is a celestial blow, Lu Bu has become a Peerless Gundam, and Chen Gong rubs a treasure with his hands. This Mr. Kong Ming, even if you tell me that he can teleport directly to the outside of the world to find someone I wouldn't doubt it if I cheated on the Internet." Yi Guang said excitedly, "Kong Ming, you can do whatever you want!"

Of course, as victims of FGO, Yi Guang and Huan Ye were particularly excited about the appearance of El-Melloi II.In the game, this subservant who combines the advantages of a human being and a heroic spirit is called the "six-star ceiling" and "seven-star shame"—you know, in fact, the game's Servants, the highest is only five stars.Therefore, this person can be called "Kong Ritian".

"FGO players are only divided into two types, one is 'sensible people' and the other is 'ignorant people'." I don't know which big guy said this before, and then this saying has been widely circulated has been generally recognized.

As for the two FGO players here, Huan Ye is the former, and Yi Guang is undoubtedly the latter... This is the class gap.

But now, the legendary "Kong Ritian" appeared in front of the two of them alive, and the two resolutely gave up the class conflict.At this moment, everyone is an admirer of Mr. Kong Ming.

"Okay, okay, you two don't bring the emotions in the game into reality, we still have tasks." Seeing the expressions of the two, Rider said quickly, "Now Mr. El-Melloi II It seems to be seriously injured, but he seems to have used magic or a treasure, and generally speaking, his life should not be in danger. However, considering that he is a fusion of human beings and heroic spirits, and he has not entered into a contract with the master, it is impossible to Use command spells for treatment. Therefore, I have to explain to you that I need to recall Fleur and use the medical equipment in her body to perform in-depth treatment on His Excellency El-Melloi II."

"No problem, now we have almost completed the whole line of the Western Route Army, and we don't need to rely on Furong for assistance. Sending him back to Rome can give her the greatest value." Yi Guang nodded, "We will return soon, and I hope His Majesty Nero has already arranged to receive it."

"Preparations are already in progress." Rider nodded, "His Majesty Nero has ordered that after this army returns, you will be in command temporarily. As a governor, you cannot live without your own army."

"Then, thank that emperor for me first." Yi Guang smiled slightly, "Also, how is the training of your firearms troop going?"

"Everything is going well, it is finally on the right track." Rider nodded, "His Majesty Nero said that in the near future, half of the new army will be mixed into your legion."

"Which emperor actually trusts us so much? Give me so much power?" Yi Guang said in a joking tone, "The number of the West Route Army I have recruited has already surpassed that of the Guards, and I still have to allocate half of the nearly Give me the new army of the guard? Aren't you afraid that we will rebel?"

"Oh? Is this the magic prop you use for long-distance calls? Oh? Can you still see human faces?" Suddenly, the figure of His Majesty Nero appeared beside Rider, and she pushed Rider away from the screen In the past, "Hey, everyone, can you hear Yu's words? Can you see Yu's face that shines like the sun?"

"Ah? Your Majesty Nero, why are you there?" Yi Guang and Huan Ye looked confused at the same time, "There should be..."

"This is His Majesty Nero's request. Ever since our fortress was completed, she has been asking me to come and visit it. It's just that His Majesty was busy with affairs a while ago and had no time to take care of him... Now she is a little free." Rider's face was full It was helpless, "Ah... His Majesty the Emperor, that can't move around!"
