[FATEFGO] Master's Note

Chapter 4 The Burning City

At night, the temperature in the forest dropped suddenly, and the damp and cold feeling from the ground penetrated the sleeping bag and went straight to the bone marrow.Shenmu Xiaoyue felt colder and colder as he slept, and finally woke up from the cold.

It was 04:30 now, and it would be dawn in a short time, and they were going to continue to Orleans.Shen Muxiao knew the importance of rest, her top priority at the moment should be to find a warm place again and sleep for a while.But she really didn't want to get out of her sleeping bag just for that, drag it to the fire, and then get back in again, waiting for sleep to set in.Shen Muxiao has never been a diligent person, this series of actions is really too much trouble for her.

She decided to be lazy for a while.

So, like a worm, she twisted and moved to the fire, and only then felt the long-lost warmth.

But she also knew that her actions were a bit funny, so she quickly glanced left and right vigilantly to see if anyone had woken up like her, and happened to see her previous actions.

Before she had time to get into the sleeping bag and sleep, Gilgamesh was spotted by her at a glance.

"You woke up so early too?"

In order not to disturb others, she deliberately lowered her voice.

Gilgamesh, who was caught, was a little embarrassed, and sat down next to her timidly: "I was afraid that the fire would suddenly go out at night, or it would burn too hot, so I started to watch the fire from the second half of the night."

During the period, he secretly watched Shen Muxiao's sleeping face for a while, but he would not say anything about it.

"That's really troublesome for you."

Gilgamesh shook his head: "No trouble. Sleep is not a necessity for Heroic Spirits to survive, it's just a desire."

"It's like a dessert after a meal. It's not for satiety, but to satisfy the appetite?"

"That's a good metaphor, master."

"You little guy is quite good at boasting."

Shenmu Xiao turned around and lay on his side.She closed her eyes, cleared her mind, and tried to fall asleep again.But maybe because she woke up once and was in a foreign country, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

The firewood was about to burn out, and the fire was a little smaller. Shenmu Xiao simply got out of the sleeping bag, put on a blanket, and sat beside the fire with Gilgamesh.

She poked the fire up with sticks, added some fresh wood, and the fire grew again.

"I can clearly feel sleepiness remaining in my brain, but I can't fall asleep. It's really annoying to think about it." She looked at the few people who were still sleeping soundly, and complained softly, "I wish I could do the same." Possesses senior Gudazi's ability to 'fall asleep anywhere'."

"I heard that people with higher IQs need shorter sleep time." Gilgamesh interjected, "So, master, your IQ must be..."

"Jill, I usually sleep for ten hours..."

The comfort went in the wrong direction, and Gilgamesh felt a little embarrassed.He stared at the fire, deliberately coughed a few times, trying to resolve the embarrassment.

Shenmu Xiao next to him didn't speak for a long time, and Gilgamesh became more and more nervous, for fear that what he said just now would anger Shenmu Xiao, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

He quickly glanced to the left, and saw Shen Muxiao hugging his knees with both hands, curled up into a ball.Her head was resting on her knees, and Gilgamesh couldn't see the expression on her face at the moment.

"Master?" He whispered to her.

Shen Muxiao did not respond.

Gilgamesh approached cautiously.When he got closer, he realized that Shen Muxiao had fallen asleep.

Last moment he was complaining about the loss of sleepiness, but now he fell asleep in such an uncomfortable position, Gilgamesh was a little bit dumbfounded.He tiptoedly pulled up the blanket that had slipped from Shenmu Xiao's shoulders, and helped her cover it up again.

Gilgamesh remembered that in the first half of the night, Shenmu Xiao slept the most restlessly, always rolling around, curled up, looking pitiful.At first, he was worried about whether she would get sick or suffer from insomnia, but seeing her sleeping peacefully now, the worry in Gilgamesh's heart completely disappeared.

Shenmu Xiao was awakened by Gudazi.

The bonfire in front of him had already been extinguished, and there were wisps of blue smoke.Sunlight leaked through gaps in the mountains to the east.

Oh, it's dawn.

Wait, is it dawn? !

Shenmu Xiao stood up abruptly, and the blanket she was wearing fell to the ground, and she hurriedly bent down to catch it, preventing it from making intimate contact with the ground.

She looked around quickly.The camp had been cleared and they had all started packing.Apparently, she was the last to wake up.

And after waking up in the morning, everyone divided the work to clean up the camp, which was already scheduled last night.Now that the camp has been packed, someone must have done the job for the late riser.

"Senior Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu, I'm sorry! I, I, I accidentally fell asleep too much, and I bothered you to wake me up..." Shen Muxiao bowed again and again and stammered, "And I haven't fulfilled the assignment yet. I am so sorry for my position!"

Gu Dazi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer, it's not a big deal."

Hearing that Gudazi's tone didn't seem to take this matter to heart, Shenmu Xiao felt relieved.

After packing up their bags, the group set foot on the road to Orleans.When approaching La Charité, Dr. Roman detected the response from the servants in the city. In addition, Joan of Arc proposed to collect information in a city near Orleans, so Gudazi made the decision to go to La Charité first.

Before reaching the city gate, they saw the smoke wafting from the city of La Charité.

"The city is... burning?!" Matthew exclaimed.

"Let's go!"

They trotted to the city of La Charité.Flames swept across the city, blackening the walls and flagstones.Houses were either burning or reduced to rubble by artillery fire.An unpleasant smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

They walked through the broken eaves, and every few steps, they could see corpses crouching under the wall that had been roasted by flames.Blood and scorched earth mixed together, presenting a coquettish reddish purple.

"Doctor, please detect the biological reaction!" Matthew said anxiously.

"It's too late...the city has no signs of life..."

"How could this be..." Jeanne's voice trembled slightly.

Seeing the country she guarded being treated like this, her heart couldn't help throbbing.

When she saw a charred corpse lying in the middle of the road, Shenmu Xiao finally couldn't bear it anymore.Her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand anymore and could only lean against the wall.There is a little more unspeakable sadness than nausea.

"It's so tragic... this... this is a massacre of the city!" Her tears couldn't stop streaming down, "It doesn't matter whether there are conflicts between countries or personal hatred, but the people in this city are innocent. Why? Are we going to kill them all?"

The tragedy of La Saritai brought a huge shock to Shenmu Xiao, who was born in a peaceful era and never had the opportunity to personally contact war.

"War is like this... Fighting to protect the subjects, killing for the motherland. Blood on the hands will not be forgiven." Artoria looked at the distant sky, and there was a hint of desolation in her voice, "But this is not war, but Black Joan created hell for her own selfish desires. Such behavior is unforgivable!"

Joan of Arc held the holy flag in her hand even tighter.This is "her" crime.

The smell of blood attracted the surrounding monsters, and even the wyverns hovering in the sky pounced down to eat the corpses.

Needless to say, everyone tacitly picked up their weapons and charged forward. Even the exhausted Shenmu Xiao cheered up and joined the battle.

After a hard fight, the monster was finally repelled, and there were no traces of the enemy around.Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, Roman's anxious voice came: "A follower is approaching, and the speed is very fast, you leave!"

Everyone immediately became alert.

"Doctor, how many people are there?" Gu Dazi asked.

"Five people!" Roman almost screamed out these two words.

This is indeed a staggering amount.Although there are six of them, they have a slight numerical advantage, but the strength of the enemy followers is still unclear.If you play against them, you can't be sure that they will win.

As Roman said, running away is the best strategy.

Joan shook her head, rejecting Roman's suggestion.She insisted on questioning the culprit of the tragedy at La Charité—the Black Joan.

Roman and Matthew tried to persuade Joan of Arc, but before they could finish their words, several figures suddenly appeared from the smoky place in the east.

"They're here." Gudazi lowered his voice.

Matthew and Roman immediately fell silent.The atmosphere was dignified and a little scary.

The distance between the two parties gradually shortened, and their faces were finally glimpsed.

The woman who walked at the end had short gray hair and sickly pale skin, but it was undeniable that she looked exactly like Joan of Arc.

As for the remaining four, most of them are servants summoned by her.They were surrounded by a thin layer of black air, and the expressions on their faces were slightly ferocious, presumably caused by the berserk spell.

They stopped a few meters away.

Looking at the person in front of him who was exactly the same as himself, Joan of Arc mocked: "Oh, it turns out to be the saint who saved the country!"

Her voice was a bit sharp, and her tone was contemptuous when she said this, obviously she didn't take Joan of Arc seriously.

Joan was a little irritated by her words, and subconsciously raised her voice, questioning her purpose of destroying the country.

"What a ridiculous question." Joan of Arc sneered, "I want to completely destroy this country that betrayed us and spurned us. It's that simple. But the saintly lady who has always been noble must not understand."

She tilted her head, and said to the crazy berserker and crazy assassin behind her: "You two go and get rid of the annoying guys in front."

Vlad III was already eager for blood, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard Black Joan's order.

"Very well. Then their blood will be mine."

"It's not good to do this, Your Majesty." Camilla slapped her palms with her cane, and said quietly, "Have you forgotten that there is also a person who is thirsty for blood?"

"You're greedy too, ma'am."

Shen Muxiao clenched the Taidao tightly, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

"It seems that you can't hide, Jill." She pretended to be calm, "This group of people is not at the same level as Wyverns, so be careful yourself."

Gilgamesh nodded, quickly calculating in his mind how to defeat the enemy quickly.

Vlad III charged forward with a spear in his hand, focusing on Matthew and Joan of Arc.But perhaps because he was attracted by their blood, he unconsciously acted softer.

While Vlad III was fighting, Camilla took a good look at the battle situation.From her point of view, Shenmu Xiao is the weakest of them all.After making a decision, she attacked Shenmu Xiao without hesitation.

The sudden attack made Shen Muxiao panic.In fact, Shenmu Xiao is not weak, but in front of the heroic spirit, especially an assassin like Camilla who is good at hiding his body, he seems a bit vulnerable.

With just one close, the dagger in Camilla's hand pierced Shen Muxiao's side waist.

"Ah, did you miss it..." Camilla said to herself.

According to her estimate, the dagger should have pierced Shen Muxiao's abdomen, but it was dodged and failed to cause fatal injuries.

Just as he was about to attack again, golden ripples appeared in the void in front of him like water, and several weapons appeared from the center of the ripples.

Gilgamesh stood in front of the golden barrier with a stern look in his eyes.

"My master, can it be that a guy like you can hurt at will?!"

The author has something to say:

Today's Young Flash is still boyfriend power max~

Without the old dragon lady, I don't know how Camila attacked QAQ and cried
