Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

After all, I got what I wanted, transcending the whole world!

"Since we're on the same road, even if it's just for a while, we're still companions." Regarding Tan Lidou's attitude, Master Sanzang was a little disapproving, "This desert is very dangerous. The one who surrounded me before was a very powerful demon. With the power you just revealed, you may not be able to leave this desert safely, so it's better to be careful in everything."

"You are really long-winded..." Tan Lidou said helplessly, "If I didn't really know the way, I would have left by myself. Although those guys have some strength, they are nothing more than that."

As he said that, Tan Li Dou waved his hand, and a ray of light appeared out of thin air in front of him, and quickly transformed into a tall teleportation gate.Then, a golden figure appeared from the portal.

"Wow! What, what is this?" Sanzang was slightly startled when he saw the huge thing appearing in front of him.On the one hand, it was because the other party was tall and imposing, and on the other hand, it was because the shape of the thing that appeared from the door looked familiar, "Is this a 'sphinx'? No, no, it's the same as that of the Pharaoh. 'Sphinx' is different."

Appeared in front of Sanzang.The one summoned by Tan Lidou was a figure that looked somewhat similar to the "sphinx" that had chased them before.But upon closer inspection, this thing is very different from the "sphinx". The most notable feature is that the "sphinx" is a real fantasy "creature".The one in front of him was obviously a mechanical puppet made of metal—in Sanzang's view, it seemed that someone had made a mechanical puppet in the shape of a "sphinx".

"Let's go, if you use this thing, the chance of being discovered will probably be slightly lower." Tan Lidou greeted and walked towards the puppet, ignoring Sanzang's astonishment, "It was modeled after the ancient Egyptian monster. It's a coincidence that the image of the mechanical weapon in the image design somehow plays a role at this time."

If Yi Guang were here, he would probably be able to recognize it at a glance. This thing is the guard puppet guarding the forty-story pyramid in the game "Sword Art Online" modified by Tanli Doumo.Its appearance draws on the classic image of the ancient Egyptian "Sphinx", and is very similar in appearance to the "Sphinx" driven by Pharaoh Ozymandias.

Although Tan Lidou violated the taboo because of the "truth" contained in the previous spying system, not only his body was irreparably damaged, but also he was expelled from the world he created, thus losing "Sword Art Online" 》The management authority of the world.However, as the creator of that world, Tan Lidou still retains a lot of original setting information about that world.Therefore, it is easy for him to use his existing power to materialize monsters or props in that world—especially after absorbing part of the power of the system, he has become more proficient in this operation.After all, the "exchange" function of the system is, to some extent, the ability to manifest data as real.

According to Tan Lidou's thinking, since this kind of "sphinx" is everywhere in this desert, riding this kind of puppet that is very similar to "sphinx" should be able to play a certain role in camouflage.

"Oh? Do you want to sit in it?" Sanzang looked at the "mechanical sphinx" in surprise and hesitated, "Is it really possible to sit in it? No problem?"

"If you don't want to come up, then I'll go first." Tan Lidou said coldly, "Even without you leading the way, I'm just wasting some time, although I don't like wasting time, but if you continue to talk nonsense , I had no choice but to leave you behind."

"Hey! Why is this? I took the risk of being caught and brought you out of the group of 'sphinxes' who were still in a coma." Although Sanzang said dissatisfiedly, his feet were still unsettled. Consciously headed towards the direction of the "Mechanical Sphinx", and then climbed up very quickly, "Oh? Can you still go inside?"

"Sit down, let's go." Tan Lidou greeted casually again, and then began to drive the metal giant forward, "Okay, now, you should think carefully about how we can leave this land. It's desert."

Chapter 518 Chaldea in action

When Yiguang went to the desert, Sanzang accidentally got a travel companion in the desert and continued his long journey.On the barren wilderness outside the desert, another team of troops is also moving.

"Well, Miss Saber, are you sure we want to do this?"

The young man at the head of the team asked the figure wrapped in a black robe beside him with a somewhat hesitant look.To be honest, he still felt that what everyone discussed before was a bit too risky.

"Of course... Now Knight Gawain accompanied... my kind...to leave the 'Holy Capital'. At the same time, it is said that the 'Lion King' launched... the 'Holy Selection'...so this is a good opportunity." Hearing the young man's question, the figure in the gray robe first fell into a brief silence, and then replied in a hoarse and intermittent voice, "The... familiar we sent has proved... this, so we... ...it's time to act too. In the present... situation, this is our only... chance."

Yes, the only chance.Taking advantage of the opportunity when Yi Guang went to the desert to fight against Caster and was not in the "sacred capital", Chaldea and the "people of the mountain" began to march towards the "sacred capital".Coincidentally, Chaldea's strategy for the "Holy Capital" is the same as Yi Guang's plan to use against Caster, sneaking in and beheading.

"Although the number of those refugees is quite large, it is impossible to get together a legion that can fight against the 'Holy Capital'." As the king of Uruk, Gilgamesh still knows how much he marches and fights. "Even though we can arm those refugees with a large amount of supplies and treasures, they lack training and there is no coordination between them. Those Hassans are not good at marching and training, so they want to fight with those refugees in a short time. It is impossible to fight against the knight legion in this city. Not to mention the pure white city wall, it is a dream to break through normally."

"So, we built fortifications and trained soldiers for them before, is it just enough for them to protect themselves?" Matthew showed a somewhat clear look.

"Then what else can you expect?" Gilgamesh spread his hands, "Even if there is a castle built by this king, a treasure that I lent them temporarily, and this woman made a treasure for the strong among them. The strengthening of the series, but they are still too young to compare with the soldiers in that city."

"Not to mention anything else, just the thing called 'Serious Knight' we saw last time, it is something that even ordinary servants would find troublesome." Karna, who has always been silent, also agreed with the King of Gold Opinion, "If it is a confrontation on the frontal battlefield, then even our fully armed 'Mountain People' will not have a victory rate of more than [-]% against the 'Holy Capital' army."

"But the main problem is the gate and the pure white city wall?" said the great hero from Persia, "Although I haven't seen it before, but according to you, that is our biggest obstacle."

"So... we have only one chance..." Saber said again, "That's the ceremony of the 'holy election'...the Lion King...will come out of that city...she will appear in person...to everyone in front of my eyes."

"That's our chance, isn't it?" Fujimaru Tatsuka nodded, "What are the chances of winning?"

"Less than [-]%..." Saber immediately replied, "After all...unforeseeable...too many factors, the 'sacred capital' itself...be it the defense, the Lion King himself...the strength...the border The power of the tower is also good..."

"After all, it's against the gods. In the current situation, [-]% is enough." Gilgamesh snorted, and then looked at Saber, "There is an essential gap between a follower and a god. In [-]%, You occupy a large proportion."

"However, relying on...'Border Tower'...the power she can exert...is far stronger than me." Saber did not deny it, but compared herself with the Lion King, "Once... the other party Relying on...'Border Tower' to release the 'Holy Judgment'...everything is... over. That is not a power that we...can fight against..., so we must find a way...to prevent her from using...this trick."

Holy Judgment, the power similar to "God's Punishment" released by the Lion King after fully displaying the power of the "Holy Lance".Its power is far stronger than the concept of "Noble Phantasm" held by heroic spirits, and even stronger than the "power" held by gods in their normal state.The "Border Tower" as the "Holy Lance" fully unfolded is like the "Shenzhen" of the Lion King as a "God", which will greatly increase the power of the Lion King.In the original book, if it wasn’t for the fact that the Lion King put most of his energy into opening the “End of the World” at the last moment, and the existence of Bedivere stimulated the memory of the Lion King as a “person”, making She was weakened invisibly, and Chaldea's actions might end in failure.

Therefore, in the face of the Lion King who has taken advantage of the home court, even Saber, who also has god-level abilities, dare not take it lightly.

"My king's 'Sky Lock' has limited effect on real gods, but it is no problem to trap her for a short period of time." Gilgamesh gave everyone a reassurance, "The only problem is, How to get close to her, as long as we can release the 'Sky Lock' on her, our odds of winning will be enough."

"But, this is the most difficult part." Fujimaru Lixiang said that this is a bit difficult, "The Lion King will not be so stupid as to wait for us to tie her up, and even if she appears in front of people, she must be at the top of the city. Or a place like the gate of the city. Seeing that the situation is not good, she only needs to back off a little, and then she can re-enter the 'Holy Capital' and hide behind the white city wall."

"It's just like that... So, our chance is fleeting." Saber nodded, "We have to...before she reacts...to completely isolate her from that city...completely."

"Is there such a chance?" Fujimaru Tachika frowned and asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I... can trap... her for a while." Saber nodded, and then looked at Gilgamesh and Karna, "You... want to trap... her while I'm trapped." Those few seconds of . . . action."

"You want me to send the King of Heroes up to face the Lion King, right?" Karna nodded, "It's a bit dangerous, but it's worth the risk."

"Hmph, you can fly anyway, if there is any danger, I will bear the brunt of it." Gilgamesh said with some dissatisfaction, but he did not express any objection, "But it doesn't matter, there are still a few life-saving items in the treasure house of this king." The treasured treasure, I will bring it along with you."

Even Jin Shining, who is in the second grade, will get serious when encountering a strong enemy and understand the importance of cooperation.

"Then, the 'Knights of the Round Table' will be handled by other people, isn't that right?" Fujimaru Tachika nodded, "I think everyone has already understood the division of labor, so everyone, please be mentally prepared. As Miss Saber said, there is only one chance."

"As long as...defeat the Lion King first, the biggest...distortion of this singularity will disappear, and the 'Holy City' and...the border tower will no longer...exist." Saber was secretly talking to her own system in her heart In exchange, she, who has lost most of her emotions and thinking ability, now has to rely on the system's instructions to complete her plans and layouts. It has to be said that this is a kind of sadness.

[Exactly so, as long as the 'holy capital' can be solved to a limited extent, then the pharaoh is only a matter of time.But if we don't solve the "Holy City" and let the "Border Tower" unfold, our time will be suppressed by the Lion King and Lancer, so there is only one choice for us from the beginning.Now I'm just worried, if Lancer left the 'Holy Capital' so easily, would he leave behind something behind?Although the Lion King is extremely powerful and has the right time and place, there is no need for Lancer to do anything, but I still have to think more. 】

"Perhaps, he will give some...props...to the Lion King?" Saber raised this possibility, "Props that can give...the Lion King a chance...."

[Time interference items, space interference items, or damage immunity items... Ah, damn, the opponent's conditional advantage is too huge, it is too easy to offset our chances, and there are too many options. ] After pondering for a while, Saber's system had no choice but to give up thinking.

As I said before, even if everything is considered, their success rate in assassinating the Lion King is less than [-]%.The Lion King, which relies on the "sacred capital", is too powerful. Even Saber, whose body strength is comparable to hers or even slightly overwhelms her, has to suffer from it.Under such circumstances, they also had to say, "It's up to people to make things happen, and God is up to them to make things happen" to comfort themselves.

[But this is something we have to do. We don't have Bedivere this time, and we won't be able to get better opportunities after Lancer comes back.snort! The Lancer class is notoriously unlucky, but this time it had the most stable start. 】

"Why don't we... go to snipe Lancer?" Saber suddenly asked.

[If you could, you would have killed him a long time ago... The class skills that guy has are too perverted, almost immortal in a certain sense.Now that he has entered the divine realm, he must have fully understood the true meaning of that skill.It is almost impossible to eliminate him by relying on sniper warfare, and we also lack the means to trap the opponent for a long time in a hurry.Therefore, we can only use the Lion King as a breakthrough, at least the opponent is not the kind of monster that cannot be killed. 】

"Lancer? A monster...?"

[That's right, it's a monster, the monster that almost killed you. 】

Chapter 519 Nitocris' Abnormality

【Very well, my master, you failed again, but it's not your fault...】

"Of course it can't be my fault. You have to tell me, what is that thing that suddenly appeared and rescued the woman Sanzang? Why did that thing appear here?!"

It was again in the great temple belonging to the pharaoh, or in that secluded secret room, Caster once again made a dissatisfied voice.Only this time, his voice contained more doubts and anxiety.

Because Sanzang, who he had besieged for a long time, was rescued by someone, by something that definitely did not belong to this world.The appearance of that thing not only disrupted his plan against Sanzang, but also made him feel a certain kind of strong uneasiness.Because that thing does not belong to this world, but it cannot belong to the other two hosts.

"That thing looks like it came out of a special drama, I'm not even sure if it's a human wearing reinforced armor or a machine with the appearance of a 'Kamen Rider'." Caster said in a deep voice, "But It is absolutely impossible to belong to a certain host, and the fluctuations around that thing are no less than mine."

[Maybe it's something like a clone or a summoned creature. Don't take it for granted. If one of the two is a special fan, it's normal to make this kind of thing.Considering that the Gaardian armor appeared in the Chaldean camp before, maybe it was from Saber's side? 】

"If there is such a thing, why not take it out from the beginning?" Caster pondered, "If there is a summon of this level, whether it is Saber or Lancer, they can easily dominate the situation of the previous battle Right? Then it is impossible for us to isolate Chaldea in the first place, because the two sides cannot form a check at all."

[Probably there is some kind of restriction that we don't know about... But speaking of it, didn't you usurp the spirit foundation of Hassan Baimao?If there is such a thing on the Chaldean side, there is no reason for you not to know.This is not Garo's 'magic wheel', it should be very conspicuous. 】

"I don't know, but there is no doubt that this thing is a scourge to us. However, it has disappeared now, together with that Sanzang." Caster said a little aggrieved, "Without Sanzang, we may not be able to break through the 'Holy City' 'The door... Damn, after this team battle, the plan never went smoothly!"

[After all, it is a team battle, and the opponents are hosts who have experienced countless worlds like you.It's not a faction war with the 'Lord God Space', we don't have any information about the opponent to suppress.Don't treat other people as fools, my master...]

"You don't need to talk too much!" Caster said angrily, "Fortunately, I got more permissions for the 'Great Temple' from Ozymandias. It should only be a matter of time before I find that guy and Sanzang."

As he spoke, Caster turned his body to the other side, where another light curtain composed of a rune matrix was suspended.There, a group of men and horses were marching on the border of the desert, wearing very conspicuous costumes like medieval knights.

That is the Knights of the "Holy City". Caster already knew about Yi Guang's secret plan—of course, it wasn't because of the clichéd traitor. Under the power of the Lion King, the "Holy City" was impossible. A mole in any sense appears.It's just that Caster himself has a certain sense of defense against the follow-up actions of his opponents.

"Are you the only one?" Caster said with some disdain, "I thought, after saving my life by chance, you and Saber would come together to trouble me."

With that said, Caster turned and left the room.

"Come on, let's prepare some gifts for Lancer. It's time for me to meet that pharaoh...Well, I'm really looking forward to the final result."

【Well, I am also looking forward to it, the final result...】

Caster's system also made such an exclamation, but Caster didn't notice the different meaning contained in this sentence.His current energy is focused on three things, the first is the upcoming infiltration of the "Holy Capital", the second is trying to get rid of the pharaoh's restraint, and the third is naturally hunting down Sanzang Master... In a sense , this is also a busy man.After all, as Caster, it is difficult for him to defeat Yi Guang and Saber who focus on self-enhancement head-on. For this reason, he can only temporarily hide and develop insignificantly.Even if he wasn't suppressed by being assigned to the Pharaoh's camp due to luck, he wouldn't have confronted the other two head-on in the early stages.As a sorcerer, he would naturally fight in the way of a sorcerer.

But to complete your arrangement, certain prerequisites always have to be fulfilled, which is why Caste is so busy.Although according to a certain Miss Huanye, this guy's character is very questionable, but his diligence is beyond doubt.The seven hosts all have certain characteristics, which allows them to be selected.

But it is precisely because he is busy with such affairs that he is also insensitive to certain changes happening around him.

"Your safety, Nitocris-sama."

Although he was very dissatisfied with a certain female pharaoh relying on Ozymandias' favor to make things difficult for him, Caster, who knew the importance of forbearance, still maintained superficial respect. After all, the knife is still in Pharaoh Ozymandias Diaz hands.The other party is a confidant of Ozymandias, and he is also a pharaoh who is very concerned about face. If he seems disrespectful in any way, he will easily conflict with the other party, and even let Ozymandias find out own flaws.

A small leak will sink a great ship……

"Ah, the high priest... came to see Pharaoh?"

However, it was a little different from usual, Nitocris, the female pharaoh who had always been full of energy, and even had a little excess energy, seemed as if she hadn't woken up today.Seeing Caster coming, he didn't ramble like usual, but rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then casually greeted him listlessly.

Well, it looks a bit abnormal, this woman has suddenly become honest, there must be something wrong.

I don't know if it's because he's gotten used to the nagging of the female pharaoh these days, but suddenly being so honest, Caster feels a little uncomfortable.The so-called "everything is abnormal, there must be a demon", so seeing this somewhat abnormal scene, Caster asked a little strangely: "Master Nitocris, what's wrong with you?"

"Really, it's really disrespectful... It's just that I didn't sleep well, why did everyone come to ask this morning!"

Nitocris, on the other hand, was like a cat whose tail was stepped on when asked this question.He, who has always been very concerned about the matter of "Pharaoh's majesty", is obviously dissatisfied with his listless state at the moment, so Caster's question just hit her sore foot.And Caster, who just touched his brow, couldn't help but feel a little strange in addition to slandering this woman's unreasonable troubles every day - would a follower also lose his energy because of not sleeping well?

Seems like you've never heard of such a thing, right?

However, in Nitocris's current state, it is obviously not easy to ask questions.So Caster didn't plan to get entangled with this woman who was caught up in bed, and the most urgent thing was to go to see Ozymandias first, after all, the expected surprise attack had already arrived.Although he is quite disapproving of Ozymandias, after all, he has not officially broken his face with him at this stage. He still needs to be notified of this kind of thing that happened in the territory of Egypt.

"You're here..." Ozymandias sat on the throne that belonged to the Pharaoh as always, "It seems that you have also been reprimanded by Nitocris, right? Oh, it's really troublesome ..."

"I was 'also'... Could it be that you, the great Pharaoh, were also reprimanded by Lord Nitocris?" Caster keenly noticed a word.

"In this world, how can someone reprimand the great king of kings?" Ozymandias said with some disdain, "It's just that people have always come here these two days to complain to me about Nitocris. .”

"So it's like this, it's said that Nitocris-sama's sleep quality has declined?"

"No, no, it's worse than that." Pharaoh waved his hand, "I asked Nitocris, and she told the truth about the predicament she is facing now, and she fell into some kind of strange dream .”

"Dream? You mean, Nitocris-sama not only can't sleep well, but also keeps dreaming?" Caster frowned, "Miss Nitocris, there should be no Master, right?"

"Exactly, so this is an abnormal situation." Ozymandias nodded, "Although Nito's memory of the dream is vague, according to her, all she encountered were similar dreams .And it can damage the spirit of the servants, this is no longer a simple sleep problem."

It is not surprising that the servants dream. Under the mechanism of the 'Holy Grail War', the servants will see the memory of the master in the dream, and vice versa.However, if a servant not only dreams, but is always trapped by similar dreams, and even causes mental problems, this is obviously not normal.What's more, Nitocris does not have a real "Master", she is an existence spontaneously summoned by the Holy Grail of this singularity.Therefore, her current situation is even more abnormal.

Not to mention, the physical fitness and mental strength of followers are several times that of human beings, and even their soul structure is essentially different from human beings.There is simply no such thing as chronic sleep deprivation that leads to mental breakdown.What's more, the female pharaoh's symptoms only started in the last two days, and they quickly became serious in a short period of time.

"Okay, I understand... This must be a sign of someone's invasion. They chose Nitocris, who is the weakest here but holds power." Caster nodded, "I have detected Arrived, the army of the 'Holy Capital' is haunting the edge of the desert. Perhaps this has an inseparable relationship with Her Majesty's illness."

Chapter 520 The King of Kings

"Well, maybe I'm overthinking things..."

Yi Guang, who was advancing in the border area of ​​the desert, suddenly said such a sentence for no reason.This made Gao Wen who was next to him stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became sharper, and he asked in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"
