Chapter 384 Summon, Summon, Summon!
Chapter 385 Summon, Summon, Summon!
Fortress of Myrenia
The tragic smell of blood filled the entire king's room. In front of the Amyrlin Seat, Vlad III closed his eyes tightly, his right arm was broken at the root, and the flesh and blood on his chest were turned out, and his beating heart could be faintly seen.
If you use magic vision to perceive it, Vlad III's spiritual core as a servant has become as dim as a broken glass bead.
Darnik was half-kneeling in front of Vlad III, his long hair dragging on the ground, covering his clenched right fist.
On the back of his hand, there were only two remaining traces of the command spell.
If he hadn't made it on a whim to let the Master of the Thousand World Tree admire the power of his servants, otherwise even if Vlad III was killed by an assassin, as the Master, he would not have time to activate the command spell to save his life.
But as a magician, it was really difficult to catch the moment of the confrontation between the servants - so much so that after he used the command spell to call back the servants, Vlad III's spiritual core had been injured by the blade of the fist gun, almost fatal.
Do you want to use the command spell to recover... No, it's not time yet, Caster has been summoned long ago. If even he can't do anything, let's make a final decision.
In order to maintain the combat power of Vlad III, he would not hesitate to pay even two Command Seals.
With his back turned to the worried Thousand World Tree members behind him, Darnik couldn't suppress the gloominess on his face. The nails on his right hand were embedded in his flesh, and blood was dripping from them.
The loss of two Command Seals before the war officially started made Darnic's heart bleed.
That assassin...who is he?
Why does he know so much information about Vlad III?
If someone summoned a Servant, why didn't I get any news from the Great Holy Grail? !
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts again, Darnic turned around and looked at the Masters expressionlessly.
"You have also seen that there are arrogant people who want to shake the glory of our Qianjie Tree - in this case, let them pay the price for their actions!"
"yes!"
The order from the head of the family has been issued, and the Qianjieshu family has begun intensive preparations.

"Goodbye, say hello to El-Melloi II for me."
At the airport not far from Romania, Shuo Yue said goodbye to the cleaning team whose colleagues were wiped out in just half a day.
The captain was seriously injured and was admitted to the hospital. The red-haired magician was dead. A female magician took over their task. She bid farewell to Shuo Yue coldly and politely, and boarded the plane back to London with the remaining five people. .
Their mission has been completed, and the rest will be left to Shuo Yue and the master of the clock tower.
Watching several people walk into the passage unskilledly, Shuo Yue looked away and did not leave the airport. Instead, she sat in the lobby and closed her eyes to rest.
As for the first Servant battle as Assassin, Sakutsu seemed to be quite successful.
The only regret was that the master on the opposite side did not follow martial ethics and blocked Vlad III's health, preventing Shuo Yue from completing his ultimate blow.
As for the fact that Shuo Yue found the opportunity to attack and kill the Grand Duke in the end, the reason can only be said to be Xiao He's defeat.
Ghost General Protecting the Country: EX
By obtaining ley lines in advance, a specific area can be regarded as "one's own territory". In the battle within this territory, as the king, Vlad III can obtain a combat power correction comparable to that of A-level [Madness]. The Noble Phantasm "Kazikli Bey" can only be used within the territory formed by this skill.
As a hero of Turkey, his legend is actually not very high. The reason why Vlad III reached the top Servants in terms of strength is that before Thousand World Tree declared war, Danic led him to conquer the entire Romania. The capital encloses the territory needed for the "Ghost General who protects the country".
What Shuo Yue ordered the 'Cleaning Team' to do was to use the formation disk to separate the spiritual veins of this forest from Romania - so at the last moment Vlad III's strength plummeted, and he built a barrier of rafters and piles. It collapsed at the first touch, and was easily hit by Shuo Yue, damaging his lifeline.
Of course, before that, in order to avoid being attached to the concept of 'piercing', Shuo Yue cut off Vlad III's arm instead, preventing him from swinging the spear in his hand. In a sense, the balance of the battle was also turned. He leaned towards his side.
An Assassin with A-level aura interception is dangerous enough, and what's even more frightening is that this Assassin also possesses intelligence information that exceeds that of the Ruler.
Even if there is only one rider, it will be an extremely huge deterrent in this Holy Grail War.
Both the Magic Association and Thousand Realms Tree were probably on alert and tracking Shuo Yue's trajectory. However, what they never expected was that someone would buy another ticket using a false identity at the critical juncture of the war.
[Passengers please note that flight MUXXX to Neon is now boarding. Passengers on this flight are requested to come...]
The time has come.
After finishing the deduction and planning for the future, Shuo Yue opened her eyes and stood up.
Go to the island country in the Far East and summon his follower there, who is also Blue’s second ‘servant’.
This was the last preparation Shuo Yue made before all parties gathered.
————
One day later, when Shuo Yue's journey finally reached its destination.
Clock Tower, Summoning the Section Chief's Office
"...'Eight Tongues' Darnic?"
"It's him, the leader of the Yggdmillennia clan, Danic Prestone Yggdmilenia, a third-rate lecturer, a second-rate magician, and a first-rate fraudster."
The afternoon sun was hot and wild, plundering all the dark colors in the room, and also illuminating the face of Belfebon, the director of the Advent Department, which was twisted and angry because of displeasure.
"——He summoned the Servants in the Holy Grail War, and in response, we must gather seven Masters and Servants, fight against Yugdomirenia, and win."
The person talking to the old man was a burly man wearing a black jacket and black sunglasses, with a rough face like an American fugitive.
It is worth mentioning that due to his overly ferocious appearance, he was interrogated by the security magician in the clock tower, and no student was willing to show him the way... If he hadn't encountered a certain blond problem child who was enthusiastic to rescue him, he would have had to work harder to reach the summoning department.
His name is Shishi Jiejieli, a former student of the clock tower, now a necromancer magician and mercenary, and one of the masters designated by El-Melloi II.
In the Fourth Holy Grail War in another world, Kiritsugu had found him and customized a special Necromancer bullet in order to deal with the Sakutsuki that destroyed the Winter City.
"Hmm..." Faced with the detailed information of the commission, Lion Jie stroked his ungroomed beard and fell into deep thought.
Belphebon did not hide, or could not hide, the fact that the "cleaning team" that Lion Jie was traveling with was killed by the servants and only six were left, and he had told him everything.
Although Lion Jie understood the reason for the failure, he had to think about it for the sake of his own life.
"If we win, what will happen to the Greater Holy Grail?"
"Of course, we will ensure it after the victory. The thing that can easily reach the root is right in front of us, and we don't know if the surviving magicians can remain calm."
Belphebon recalled El-Melloi II's instructions and gave a calm reply.
I see. Lion Jie nodded in agreement.
Does it mean "anything that happens after the annihilation of Yugdomrenia will be borne by yourself"? It doesn't matter if I can fulfill my wish, or prevent it, or - destroy everything.
Of course, the old fox in front of me must have a plan. He will probably send out the recovery troops immediately when the war ends.
But, but! If I can successfully get ahead - I will definitely have a chance to fulfill my wish!
The excitement trembled on the back of the lion. Perhaps he really observed the excitement, and the old man nodded as he expected: "Can you accept the commission?"
However, don't reply immediately. If you respond immediately, your weakness will be seen.
With this idea in mind, the war-torn mercenary and necromancer agreed to participate and held a second round of negotiations with Belfebon.

At the reminder of the New Moon, the Magic Association gathered the selected masters at a faster speed, and on the side of the Thousand World Tree, it was also the influence of the New Moon. In order to obtain new power, Danic called on the masters of the Thousand World Tree and gathered them in front of the throne of the Mirenia Fortress when night fell.
After confirming that the four summoners were already in their designated positions, Danik bowed his head respectfully towards the empty throne.
"Then, my king, the ceremony begins now"
"... Yeah."
A voice that abandoned arrogance sounded, and light particles gathered on the throne, transforming into the posture of the Grand Duke of Wallachia. Judging from his breath, his injuries have been completely recovered.
And the price is - the increasingly thin red marks on the back of Danik's hand.
No matter what Danik thought, his expression was still respectful, because the one sitting on the throne was the greatest hero of Transylvania, Romania, and the commander who was feared by Turkish soldiers and was called Kazikli Bey.
That's right, since this is Romania, his popularity is almost the highest. It can even rival Hercules in Greece and King Arthur in England.
It is precisely because of Vlad III's value that Danik would not hesitate to waste the greatest power of the master and pay for Vlad III and his underestimation of the enemy.
Lancer cast a glance at Danic, his most loyal subordinate, and then let the majestic voice resound among the kings:
"Quick, summon the heroes who are willing to be my brothers and sisters."
"As you wish."
After Danic bowed respectfully, he announced to the four people:
"Then let's begin. We are magicians who are proud of the Thousand World Trees (Yoggdmillennia). When this ceremony ends, we will embark on a road of battle that cannot be turned back. - Are you ready?"
The four Masters silently revealed their unwavering determination and stood at the front of the summoning circle.
In addition to the large-scale summoning of the "Black" camp of the Millennium Fortress, and the summoning of the Lion Jiejieli using the fragments of the round table in the cemetery of the Stavropoleos Church in Bucharest, on an island thousands of miles away, a young man took off his cloak and stood in the center of the summoning circle.
The same summoning words sounded from different places.
"——Declare!"
Note, it is the center of the summoning circle~~ (smile)
