[FATEFGO] Master's Note

Shen Muxiao covered his chest lightly with his hands, took a few deep breaths, and temporarily calmed down a little.

"Please tell me, Mr. II."

El-Melloi II cleared his throat and said, "I personally thought that the enchantment covering the southern border would block part of the magic power. In other words, the effect of using magic inside the enchantment would be greatly reduced, even the attacks of heroic spirits and entities Transformation needs to consume several times more mana than usual."

"This is not good news..." Shen Muxiao murmured.

She took a few steps back subconsciously, getting a little further away from the city wall, and she really felt a lot more comfortable, even her breathing became a little easier.Of course, this may also be her psychological effect.

El-Melloi II continued: "When Gilgamesh used the stone man's inflexible attack method to counterattack the southern army, I had an intuition in my mind, which told me that the stone man was not It was created by the caster lurking in the Southern Army—or the followers of the Southern Army."

He paused, and began to analyze them in detail: "The stone man's intelligence is not high, and he acts entirely on intuition. I think the generals of both the North and the South understand this, but they haven't participated in it like Gilgamesh. It’s all just to understand the clues. Of course, it is also possible that you have received instructions from above. Whether it is for the Southern Army or the federal government, the existence of these things is a huge threat. There is no doubt about it. Just like what Roja said before In that way, the Confederate Army also failed when trying to use the Golem, resulting in almost annihilation. Just ask, if you create a weapon with serious uncertainty, you will use it at the risk that your own side may be completely wiped out ?"

"Of course it is the choice of complete destruction. There is no need for useless things to exist. This reason cannot be more simple." Gilgamesh said lightly, without feeling any loss in his words.

Shen Muxiao didn't know how to answer.She didn't seem to have encountered a similar dilemma, and she couldn't think of any clues based on her imagination.

El-Melloi II noticed this.

"That's not an easy question, is it? Let's put it aside and think about it later.

"I once had a private conversation with Roja and asked him about the current battle situation. He told me that Pennsylvania has been under attack for many years. If there is no huge deviation in the intelligence he said, then a strange situation has appeared—— Obviously Pennsylvania is so close to Virginia, where Richmond, the capital of the South, is located. Why has the South only successively captured a few border towns in Pennsylvania over the years, but has never succeeded in capturing Pennsylvania? As long as Pennsylvania is captured, large tracts of land in the north will be equivalent to Waiting for the Southern Army to come and fetch it."

El-Melloi II's analysis is reasonable.Shen Muxiao bowed his head and thought about what he said, and found that the matter seemed to be almost the same as what he said.

"With the power of a heroic spirit, it's impossible to be invincible for a long time, right?"

"That's right. So I boldly guess that these humanoid life forms created by third-party casters may be defending Pennsylvania."

"Really? Obviously, they will also be attacked by the southern army to the northern army."

El-Melloi II chuckled: "That's why I said these stone men are not smart enough."

Shenmu nodded knowingly.No one will know what the southern guys are up to until they are formally contacted.Although El-Melloi II's speculation may be far from the real situation, the doubts everywhere have been sorted out to some extent.

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, with a slightly sullen expression on his face.

"So the caster in the south purposely evacuated Denver and turned it into an uninhabited land. Are they blatantly telling this king that even if there is no one to guard it, it will never fall? They treat this king as nothing, This is too arrogant!"

"It is indeed a very arrogant behavior." The count rarely agreed.

Shenmu Xiao didn't think of this level before, but when Gilgamesh mentioned it, he also felt this way.

But the wave of silent threats did work.The servants who made a contract with her were greatly weakened due to the exponential increase in magic power loss, and it was almost impossible to fight in the southern territory.As for Joan of Arc and Martin Luther King, who were summoned by the Holy Grail, the magic power needed for their existence did not come from Shenmu Xiao, but it is not known whether they can fight in places covered by the enchantment.

The battle plan that was originally considered was all invalidated, Shenmu Xiao felt a little headache.

El-Melloi II was also very worried. He sighed and rubbed his brows repeatedly with his thumbs, trying to relax his tense nerves.Shen Muxiao noticed that his dark circles were heavy, and his face seemed a little more haggard than usual.

"Mr. II, are you in good health? I always feel that your complexion is very bad." She asked with concern.

El-Melloi II raised his head abruptly and stopped what he was doing.

"Well...it's just that I haven't had much time to rest recently, so I feel a little tired. My body is fine." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sighed deeply, and slumped on the back of the chair, "Recently, Chaldea It's too busy, Roman and I work overtime almost every night, I really don't know when we will be free to experience the normal nine-to-five commute time."

"Working overtime again? Why don't you sleep for a while, or find a place to rest well. Your body is more important. It doesn't matter if we lose contact with Chaldea for a while."

El-Melloi II is one of the brains that directs all actions, and must not fall until the dust settles.In addition, Akatsuki Shenmu really felt sorry for El-Melloi II.

But he shook his head and declined.

"I will definitely do my job well. And I have long been used to working overtime. It's just a trivial matter like now."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, which made people feel distressed.

Shen Muxiao decided that after dealing with this singularity, he must go to the temple to ask El-Melloi II for a guardian who will bless his work smoothly, and hope that he will stay away from the reputation of "the number one professional overtime worker in Chaldea".

Standing guard by the city wall couldn't think of any solution, so Shen Muxiao decided to go back to the camp first and tell Martin and the others what they found.Roja and Martin are much wiser than her, so they must have different ideas.

It was completely dark, and it happened that the three of them didn't have any lighting tools at hand, so they could only walk forward in the dark guided by the shallow firelight of the camp.

Every step must be taken carefully, otherwise it is common to stumble over the small raised mud on the ground.

"Jill, I hope you can store things like flashlights in the king's treasury."

Gilgamesh squinted his eyes, and replied without thinking, "It can be considered."

This probably means agreement, Akatsuki guessed.

When they arrived at the camp, the soldiers were eating.In order to reduce the loss of mana, Gilgamesh and the count disappeared again in spirit form.Akatsuki Shenmu walked to the trunk where Roja and Martin were sitting, and sat down beside them.

"Hey, your dinner."

Roja handed her the wooden bowl containing mixed bean soup.

The turquoise soup doesn't look so attractive, it even looks like a witch's special potion in a fairy tale.A piece of lean pork was soaked in the soup, which Royat specially served for her.

"Thanks." She took the wooden bowl from Roja.

For Shenmu Xiao, the taste or color of this green bean soup is not important, as long as there is food that can sustain life, it is very lucky.

She gulped down the whole bowl of soup in one gulp, and swallowed it with only a few rough chews, so fast that even Martin was surprised.She put the bowl at her feet and wiped her mouth casually, as rough as a man.

With everything done, she cut to the chase and told them about her discovery on the Denver border.

Luo Ya was a layman, and he was a little dizzy when he heard it. Fortunately, Shen Muxiao spoke clearly and carefully, and he still understood the urgency of the situation.As for Martin, his face became more and more serious as Shen Muxiao's words deepened, and in the end, he showed a terrifying expression that Shen Muxiao had never seen before.

He folded his hands, propped his chin, and pondered for a long time.

"The guys in the south seem to be going out of their way to wipe out black people. Is this my illusion?" he muttered, standing up.

After walking back and forth around the fire several times, he spoke again.

"The city gate is reinforced, and it is almost impossible to break through without using the power of heroic spirits. The main body of the city wall is relatively strong, and it may be broken through after a few days of grinding. The question is, if this method is really adopted, will there be anything from inside the city?" Other strange creatures attack us."

Shen Muxiao imagined the scene of a group of keel soldiers/zombies/(non-flying) flying dragons pouring out of the city after the city gate was wide open, and couldn't help crying softly.

El-Melloi II said that the concentration of magic power in the city of Denver is extremely high, and there is no guarantee that there is really a hidden "secret weapon"...

Martin mulled over several plans in his mind, but all of them were rejected by himself.He shook his head and let out a dejected sigh.

"Things have come to this point, even if you want to bypass Denver, attacking from elsewhere is useless and a waste of energy."

Shen Muxiao patted Martin on the back, trying to ease his anxiety.

"Although the enchantment may be a 360-degree all-around Macedonian defense line. But now we have no way to retreat except to attack, isn't it?"

Martin sank back on the tree trunk.Shen Muxiao's words relieved him somewhat from his anxiety.

"That's true. Instead of complaining about yourself, why not think about what to do to increase your chances of winning!" Roja also comforted.

After wandering around for a while, Joan of Arc, who had just returned to the camp at this moment, came back swaggeringly.

"Hey, are you having a tea party?" Seeing the heavy faces of the three of them, she said again, "Why, isn't the topic going in a pleasant way? That would be very interesting, tell me."

"Uh...it's not really interesting..."
