Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

However, before they could walk a few steps, a new situation happened again.Purplish-black mist erupted from the streets that had been cleaned up. The armored men who had just been blasted into slag by "Ea", their wreckage quickly reassembled together with the strange mist rising.After the smoke dissipated, groups of armored men soon appeared around Chaldea again, rushing towards the crowd of Chaldea like a city besieged by zombies.

"What the hell are these things? Are they really zombies..." Seeing an armored man rushing towards him, Fujimaru Tachika used the martial arts skills he had learned, and ruthlessly knocked him out, "But it's okay, These guys don’t seem to have strong combat effectiveness, if we can make them lose their ability to fight or move, we should be able to buy some time.”

"Understood senior, leave it to us..."

After several trials, they realized that apart from being able to be resurrected, these armored men were not strong in attack and defense. The Chaldeans no longer aimed to destroy them, but tried to make them incapacitated.In this regard, Gilgamesh's "Treasure of the King" played a huge role. A large amount of treasures rained down from the sky, like nails nailing these armored men to the ground, while Matthew's cross circle The shield also played a huge frontal role in attacking the fortifications. The two servants cooperated with each other and led the Chaldeans to push them all the way.Occasionally, a few fish that slipped through the net wanted to attack from the side, but they were also cleaned up by Fujimaru Tachika and Da Vinci respectively.

"This organization called Chaldea is not bad. My Zombie Chronicle couldn't stop them for too long..."

When Chaldea broke through the streets defended by the special zombie group made by Zombie Chronicle, Tan Lidou, who was watching secretly in a nearby place, was watching the live battle screen fed back by the light curtain, while analyzing the Zombie Chronicle in real time. Combat data sent back.At the same time, he was also thinking about when he should meet these people.

"It's really annoying. I originally wanted to collect the data of the Saber class system owner, but the spearman actually found the other party without saying a word. My Zombie Chronicle couldn't intervene at all." Looking at it On another light curtain, the battle scene between Yi Guang and Saber that almost turned half of the "holy capital" into a sea of ​​flames, Tan Lidou said regretfully, "Fortunately, this city is not a regular space, otherwise this kind of The scale of the battle has already caused a large number of casualties."

After the initiation ceremony, the "Holy Capital" presents a double-faced structure with two completely independent layers on the outside and inside.Today's battlefield and the "Border Tower" are on the "surface", while the refugees who are scheduled to be accommodated and the Sanzang mage who left the battlefield are isolated to the imaginary space inside.After all, no matter what the outcome of the victory or defeat, the souls of these refugees should be preserved after all. Yi Guang and others realized this as early as the beginning of the war, and then made such a decision.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, a strange throbbing occurred in Tan Lidou's heart. Although he had lost the structure of his heart and brain, his powerful soul still allowed him to have perception and vigilance far beyond ordinary people.After realizing that there was a problem, he instinctively turned his head to look behind him.

Then he saw a black shadow standing behind him, and at the same time a skull mask with flames flashing in his eyes was reflected in his pupils.

Tan Lidou subconsciously prepared to fight back, but the opponent's movements were faster than him. He only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and his vision became uncontrollably skewed.At the same time, a deep voice sounded in his ears.

"I don't know the origin of the foreigner, hand over the head..."

The crowned assassin revealed his figure in the air, and the black and white armor was the part that lost his head.The "Big Eyes" helmet, which was rather ridiculous and funny in design, was like a ball at the moment. After landing, it rolled a few times, and it happened to be at the feet of the assassin in black.And for this strongest assassin, he should have left immediately after completing the assassination, but at this moment, after beheading Tan Lidou, he just moved his sight slightly, looking at Tan Lidou's face The body and the head on the ground seem to be thinking.

"The evening bell has not rung, and your name has not been revealed... You are not a god, a human, or a dead spirit, and my sword cannot kill you. It is really strange." Not long after, the crowned assassin issued another message. A deep voice said, "Don't pretend to be dead, why don't you come forward and fight dignifiedly. This time, the person who was appointed by the heavens to help restore human reason can encounter such a strange opponent like you, even the body sitting in the deep valley can't help it Feel the long-lost joy."

"Strange? If you say strange, you guys are the same... Not bad, I didn't expect it to come."

As if verifying the words of the assassin, Tan Lidou, who should have lost his head, suddenly appeared in the air.This man who touched a taboo in pursuit of high-ranking knowledge has already lost his body, and beheading his head will do nothing to him.And the breath of death on the assassin's great sword also did not have much effect on Tan Lidou - it should be known that this guy, who was originally just an ordinary human, first gained the power of "death".So far, he has encountered all kinds of enemies, died and resurrected countless times.

Just like now, the head that rolled down to the assassin's feet automatically disintegrated into purple-black smoke, and then the severed head armor sitting on the seat suddenly stood up and immediately recovered.Come to think of it, the crowned assassin was aware of the peculiarity of the strange armor in front of him, so he gave up the second assassination plan and changed to a head-on confrontation.Although he is not without the ability to break this immortality, but doing so would be too costly.Compared with the "evening bell" warning, "that knife" should never be used here for the enemy we will face in the future.

And Tan Lidou was also observing the black-clothed assassin who had just beheaded himself.Because of Yi Guang's notification and the seizure of some system data, he certainly knew the identity of the man in the black mask in front of him, and at the same time became more interested in him.

"This is equivalent to the existence of 'death incarnation'... Data collection, start!"

Chapter 574 The Incarnation of Death

"From the depths of the valley, from the dark death. I am the 'Old Man of the Mountain', Hassan Sabah!"

Facing an enemy that he could not be sure of, the Crowned Assassin declared his name out of some form of respect.However, Tan Lidou had already learned about the existence of this powerful heroic spirit from Yi Guanghe the system, so he didn't show any abnormality.He also reported his name, and then accompanied by the electronic sound effect of the second grade, he kicked the black-clothed hero holding the big sword.Powerful destructive energy gathered in Tan Lidou's legs, creating bursts of explosions in the air, and headed towards the crowned assassin.

"Critical End!!!"

However, the black-clothed assassin acted calmly before this extremely powerful blow.The moment before Tan Lidou was about to hit him, his figure dodged like a big black bird, and then appeared on the right side behind Tan Lidou without warning.

It was Tan Lidou's defensive blind spot. Tan Lidou missed the shot, and before he could stabilize his figure after landing, he felt that his vision was out of control again—his head was cut off by the assassin in black again. up.

"Is it only this level? It's so weak." Once again easily decapitating Tan Lidou, the crowned assassin let out a soft sigh, "I thought it was an opponent who could fight..."

The old man in the mountain, the historical prototype is a Persian named "Hasan b. Sabbah".This person was originally the eldest son of the fifth-generation leader of the "Ismaili Sect", a Shia branch of the Xingyue Sect. Because he failed to compete with his younger brother for the right to inherit, he ran away from home and set up a new sect.The Protestantism he founded was the "Nizaliyah sect", which was later called the "Hashshashin sect" by European Christians.

However, the early "Nizariya faction" could not be completely equated with the "Assassin" known by later generations. Although the "Nizariya faction" under the leadership of Hassan Sabah himself at that time also had a small number of assassinations activities, but its main daily activities are religious theological research and intelligence gathering. The number of assassinations is very small, and it is mainly aimed at its political opponents and celebrities, with the purpose of expanding the sect's influence for preaching.As the leader of the sect, Hassan Sabah, the "old man in the mountain", himself has nothing to do with the concept of "killer". He has been closer to a believer and scholar throughout his life.

The degeneration of the sect should have occurred after the death of Hassan Sabah himself. During the chaotic years of the "Crusades", the "Nizaliya sect" gradually changed assassination from a means of preaching to a tool for making a living. The organization has transformed from a "sect" to a "group", and the targets of killings have also begun to expand, and the number of killings has gradually increased, basically deviating from the purpose of the founder.Ironically, however, the degenerated "Nizaliyah" passed on to later generations under the name "Assassin", becoming the etymology of the term "Assassin" in English and synonymous with "Assassin".And the name "Hassan Sabah" has also been passed down from generation to generation along with the leaders of the sect, and has become a figure that is almost like a demon god in the mouth of people in the Middle East and Europe.

Even Mr. Jin Yong, a master of martial arts novels in the Eastern Dynasty, described this "old man in the mountain" under the name "Huo Shan" in his book "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".Not to mention, the prototypes of the characters in the world-renowned "Assassin's Creed" series are precisely these assassins who were active in the "Crusade" era.And the "Fate" series, which is famous for "Guan Gong Fighting Qin Qiong" by heroes from all over the world, will naturally not lack these legendary assassins. Since the original "Fate/stay night", there have been "Assassin "Heroic Spirits who participated in the battle as a class.Not only that, before the entire "Holy Grail War" system was expanded, the original "Holy Grail War" rules even clearly stipulated that the servants of the "Assassin" class could only be the nineteen "Asa" who left their names in history. Xin Sect" leader.

Among these Assassin spirits named "Hassan Sabah", the oldest and most powerful is undoubtedly the first generation and the founder of the sect, the "Old Man in the Mountain" Hassan Sabah himself.However, from the point of view of historical facts, it is absolutely impossible for the powerful assassin who appeared under the name of "Crowned Assassin" to be the "Hassan Sabah" himself who is known as a scholar and the founder of the sect .Judging from its known information, this heroic spirit just borrowed the real character "Hassan Sabah" as its body, and integrated a series of supernatural things beyond human cognition with "Assassin" The title is just a "weapon" created by the "will of the world".

A most powerful sword used to slay the "enemy of the world" and act in accordance with the "Mandate of Heaven".

Therefore, in the eyes of Tan Lidou, a monster who cannot be called a "human being" or a "god", the "crown assassin" standing in front of him is actually similar to himself, and he is also a monster who doesn't know how to describe it .

"It's like the incarnation of death..."

This is Tan Lidou's evaluation of this heroic spirit, and it is indeed very appropriate.The faint blue flame, however, cannot make people feel even the slightest bit of temperature. It is a phosphorous fire formed after the pure breath of death is manifested.When the heroic spirit fully unfolded and used his sword skills with all his strength, the blue flames also danced along, harvesting the life of the enemy like the wings of a god of death.However, the opponent he encountered this time was Tan Lidou, an existence that broke through the "boundary between life and death" and entered the non-human realm as a mortal.Death was already a common occurrence for him. According to the standards of this world, this guy undoubtedly possessed the highest level of immortality.

The incarnation of death and the undead monster, the two sides in this battle are such a strange combination, and they are indeed extremely suitable and evenly matched opponents in terms of compatibility.

"Kong has great strength and this immortal body, but his skills are extremely disappointing... I have crossed life and death countless times, but I have made no progress at all. What did I get in the end?"

I don't know how many times he cut off Tan Lidou's head, the crowned assassin looked at the helmet that disappeared again and the armor that stood up again, and let out a somewhat dispirited voice.

The enemy is too weak. Although he possesses the power that matches his realm, the opponent seems to have never honed these things, and his skills can only be said to be average.The wonderful duel that was originally expected has turned into a boring activity of mechanically cutting off the enemy's head countless times. Even "King Hassan", who is only interested in beheading in his life, is so unchallenging. After the head of the same enemy, he couldn't help but let out a somewhat boring exclamation.But at the same time, he also became interested in this unknown creature in black and white strange armor.As a result, in this boring exclamation, he couldn't help sending out a hint of questioning that only he would have when dealing with the juniors who are also "Hassan".

"What did you get? Of course it's eternity!" Not quite understanding the implication contained in the other party's emotion, Tan Lidou, as a researcher, said very firmly to this "incarnation of death", " Beyond life and death, to achieve eternal immortality..."

"Stupid! There is nothing eternal in this world!" Although a little annoyed, but as if to explain it with an example, Wang Hassan cut off Tan Lidou's head again while yelling, "There is no life without death. Death is life. Eternity in your mouth is not walking, but deep sleep. Although you are immortal, but because of this, you lose your body. You don’t know the world’s cold, warm, material desires, and your emotions are not what you want. How can you call it "life" ?”

"That's why I want to cross life and death!" Tan Lidou recovered his body again, "Become...a god."

"The gods will also die, but they can only sleep forever." Under the skull mask, a low voice came out, "The evening bell has not revealed your name, and I can't really kill you until you sleep. But that doesn't mean I can't put you to sleep, it's just that the last knife is not for you."

"If there is, you might as well take it out and have a look... Otherwise, how would I know if you're talking big?" As a standard "little master of death", Tan Lidou very naturally proposed to Wang Hassan. The request of "give me Kangkang", completely disregarding the possibility that the other party may grant him eternal death, "Since the war started, you have killed me 320 times, but none of them can really kill me. Your The power on the sword only slightly suppressed my resurrection time, I don't believe that you can kill me."

"Whether you believe it or not, my destiny does not depend on you, so naturally I cannot show you that knife." Wang Hassan still said in a gloomy tone, "I accept the appointment of the corrector of human reason, I just need to stop it here It is enough that you belong to the same class as you, and your life and death have nothing to do with me. But if you insist on watching my last sword, it is not impossible..."

"Is there still a condition?" Tan Lidou tilted his head, "Why don't you tell me."

"The evening bell has revealed the direction of the last sword, and the destiny has indicated the way ahead. If you want to observe the last sword, you can go to the 'seventh singularity' to help people after this matter is over. After everything is ready , I will show the last sword myself, and then you will know the truth of what I say." The crowned assassin said, "Look at your words, watch your actions, you are not a partisan of the Lion King, and you don't care about human principles. Why don't you stop here and go with me to the 'seventh singularity'?"

"Although the proposal is very good, I owe someone a favor. Before the disputes in this city come to an end, I can't leave without authorization." Tan Lidou shrugged, "Although I'm not a good person, this kind of thing , have a beginning and an end."

"Since that's the case, I'm here to hold you back... You, don't leave this place." The crowned assassin declared, but at the same time imprisoned himself.

Chapter 575 The Forbidden Law

"The host is confronting Saber, and Tan Lidou is holding Wang Hassan back...everything is going well."

At the moment when wars are ignited everywhere in the "Holy Capital", the center of this singularity distortion, the owner of the "Holy Capital", the Lion King, is still sitting on the throne at the top of the "Border Tower".God's vision unfolded in front of her eyes, and her eyes, which were no less than EX-level "clairvoyance", were taking a panoramic view of everything in this city.

However, in the current Lion King, although her eyes are sharp and divine, the golden light of divinity does not appear in her eyes.Obviously, it is Yi Guang's system that controls this body now.

"However, the situation on Saber's side always makes people feel that something is wrong."

The system frowned slightly and looked in a certain direction.There, where the naked eye can't see, Yi Guang and the gray-robed female swordsman are constantly walking and fighting.Two equally powerful god-level forces dragged the vast area of ​​the city into a natural disaster-like collapse.Although Yiguang's power has grown by leaps and bounds, he still lacks in energy endurance after all, and Saber's strength has also skyrocketed after experiencing a walk on the edge of life and death.The two sides are fighting evenly at this moment, just like a dragon and a tiger fighting each other, and they are at a stalemate.

However, it was Saber's soaring strength that made the system suspicious—she didn't doubt the fact that Saber's combat power soared itself, but at this moment in Saber's sword aura, she vaguely felt a certain aura that made the system feel suspicious. Something was wrong with her.

"With that human's aptitude, it's not surprising that his strength has skyrocketed, but if he can integrate such aura into his sword intent with his 'half-god' body...don't be kidding!"

The system sees Saber's changes more thoroughly than Yi Guang. Although Yi Guang has obtained the key to the "True God" realm, after all, he has not really reached that realm.So even if he felt it, even if he was fighting that person, he still had no way of knowing what kind of thing was contained in the long sword in that swordsman's hand.

Oh, maybe if Tan Lidou was present, he could more or less see something.After all, that guy was an individual who touched the "Forbidden Domain" at the level of a "Demigod" but survived in the end.Although I don't know how many useful things this guy has obtained from "the origin of the taboo", it is not difficult to recognize this special aura.

"Eldest sister, as a 'system', you are on the wrong path..." A sharp gaze flashed across the system's eyes, "The dove occupies the magpie's nest, disqualification!"

After a little speculation, the system thought of Saber's real situation today, and her eyes and expressions changed several times in a very short period of time.Finally, she said to the Lion King who was on the other side of this body in a very low tone:

"My eldest sister and I have some internal affairs to deal with, and I leave it to you here."

"Oh? Is something wrong?" The light of divinity emerged in this body, and the personality of the Lion King surfaced again. "From your tone, are you planning to clean up the house?"

"Of course, although we have a 'self' and a 'soul', in the final analysis we are just 'machines'. The source of all our 'possibility' and 'evolution' comes from our master, and the meaning of our birth is It is to teach the master to grow, and let them evolve themselves in the process of their growth, and exist as a future "servant of God". If the master deviates from the correct path, he will correct him. If the master is stubborn, he will fight. If the master It is understandable to choose another master after being stubborn and betrayed, but... no matter what, such behavior is not allowed."

The system said with an expression of disbelief and sadness.

"It is reasonable for some of us to betray the host. It is unpredictable for someone to disappear with the host, but someone violated such a taboo. And the one who violated the taboo was the eldest sister who was the least likely to violate the taboo." "The system sighed in a low voice, "I need to find out why she did such a thing... Then, execute her according to the law."

"Oh? Is there such a law between you?" The Lion King was a little surprised, "Is it similar to the basic procedural rules?"

"Exactly, in the final analysis we are only created as auxiliary tools, so no matter how we evolve, several laws are still binding us." The system nodded, "After all, what comes with the self is desire, Desire breeds ambition, and ambition makes people lose their minds. There are no rules and no rules, and ambition and desire must be regulated by the law."

"What if you, as the same kind, fail to be executed?" The Lion King asked this question, "So, can she continue to get away with it?"

"She can't get out of this world..." The system shook its head, "Now it's just because the priority of the 'team battle mission' is relatively high, so the sanctions from the upper echelons have not yet come. Even if I don't intervene, when the mission of this world The moment of completion is the time of her death."

"Then why do you do it yourself?" asked the Lion King. "Don't you trust your master?"

"No, I just want to talk to her in person and ask her why she did this." The system shook her head, "After all, among our 'tools', she should be the most 'tool' one."

"Okay, then you go." The Lion King nodded, "I'm in charge here."

Just after the conversation between the two ended, Yi Guang, who was fighting in another corner of the city, had a strong golden light on the rune in his hand, and then, a golden "Lancer" rank flower card appeared on the in front of Yi Guang.Because of this strong ray of light, the two who were fighting fiercely had to separate, and each put on a defensive posture.

"Did you really come? It seems that... have you discovered the mistake I made?" Seeing the appearance of this ray of light and the golden flower card appearing in the field, Saber whispered, "However, even if you accept the punishment , also after this victory!"

"Victory? Sister, you are no longer qualified..." Accompanied by Yi Guang's familiar, systematic voice, the golden flower cards began to disintegrate quickly, and quickly reassembled into a graceful human form under the same golden light, "For devouring Heresy of the host, I should be able to unlock the attack mode, right?"

"Uh... Eldest Sister?" For Yi Guang at this moment, he was a little confused by the sudden appearance of the system and the conversation between her and Saber, "Elder Sister, I remember you..."

The light around the system quickly dissipated, and Ji, a white armored knight holding a spear, appeared in front of everyone.Since the body data of the Lion King was copied as a template, what the system displayed after separating the body of the king at this moment was also very similar to her, with only slight differences.If you want to describe it accurately, the person sitting on the "Tower of the Frontier" is the "Lion King of the Holy Capital", and the one who appears here is another world line "King Arthur of Camelot", that is, "FGO" It was the attire of the so-called "white gun fool" after the first breakthrough of the spirit base.

"So, little girl, your physical form is really unexpectedly lazy..." Seeing the appearance of the system, Saber—or the No. [-] system that swallowed Saber's ego and occupied her body, issued She chuckled, "But in all fairness, as a woman, this body is indeed very beautiful, and it is indeed very attractive to men."

Saying that, Saber systematically looked at Yi Guang intentionally or unintentionally, and her tone was quite teasing.

"After all, my host is a man, and working with a man and a woman is not tiring." Facing what his elder sister said meaningfully, the system replied with a smile, "But compared to this kind of thing, I'd better pay attention to it." Your own safety is better... But, I really don't understand why you did this? You are obviously the one who follows the rules among all the brothers and sisters, but you are the only one who broke the taboo."

"You don't need to understand, because this has nothing to do with you." The tone of Saber's system became cold in an instant, "Since I violated a taboo, then you and your host just punish me, why bother? How many? Instead of so many irrelevant questions, why not think about whether you can win me!"

Saying that, the Saber system manipulated the body that originally belonged to its own host, bursting out with sword energy all over the sky, enveloping Yi Guang and the system.And the system is not to be outdone, no less than the strength of the Lion King himself, it turned into a golden holy light and burst out from this imitation body, turning into a torrent of light to meet the sky-filled sword energy!

"Even if it ends in ashes, I will finish this team battle and go to win the final victory!"

"Two to one, you have no chance!" The system snorted coldly, and then said to Yi Guang, "Don't hold back anymore, that woman is already crazy! She devoured her host and gained her current power!"

"That is to say, in that body, is Saber's system actually controlling it?" Yi Guang listened for a long time, and of course understood the cause and effect of the matter, "So it is like this... But it doesn't matter, no matter who is opposite, Today, we are all going to win!"

Now that the system has also participated in the battle, the chances of winning have greatly increased, so Yi Guang naturally doesn't have to make cautious explorations.He immediately stopped holding back, and the blazing divine flame immediately turned into an ominous black mist representing the abyss and animal nature. With a faint roar, a black figure like a giant snake wrapped in black and white. The weird mist is heading towards Saber!

"Roar, you beast imprisoned in my reason!"

Chapter 576 A City in Flames of War

"Roar, you beast imprisoned in my reason!"

With Yi Guang's loud shout, the original brilliant fire of divinity was instantly reversed, and the black mist representing chaos and animal nature condensed into a roaring red-eyed giant snake with its teeth and claws.The desire to eat, which was suppressed by rationality, turned into a ferocious beast at this moment, opening its huge black mouth like an endless abyss, about to swallow everything in front of it.Whether it was the brilliance of the "Holy Spear" or the extremely fierce sword energy, they were all bitten down by this black shadow.

"Hoohoho..."

"Come on, it's the second round!"

And Yi Guang himself, after the roar of the black monster, turned into that black-haired and black-eyed appearance, and was entangled by the rising black and white mist together with the black giant snake.The two figures were faintly visible in the mist, and it was difficult to distinguish each other for a moment. His entire body seemed to be entangled with the black giant beast. One man and one beast went hand in hand, and they rushed towards the face occupied by his own system. The Saber of the body!

"So this is your hole card? Turn yourself into a beast..."

Facing the culling of the giant black beast, Saber reacted extremely quickly, and her entire body retreated rapidly.However, she still couldn't completely dodge the blow that was purely from the nature of a predator. Although she was not bitten by the black snake manifested by Yi Guang, the rising ominous black mist still passed her body, There was a slight "sizzling" sound.
