Chapter 399 Night Battle, Mordred and Lion Robbery

Faced with Berserker's defection, Amakusa and the Empress acted like the Red Team's bosses and began a tense discussion.

"Let Archer catch up first. Whether he can be stopped is still unknown, and the success rate is about 50-50 - no, maybe it will end in failure"

"This is not a joke."

Assassin complained very unhappily. This is no wonder. Although the Red Team has arrived, it does not mean that they are ready for battle. What's more, the Black Team is entrenched in the indestructible Mirenia Fortress, ready to fight with all their might. No matter how outstanding Berserker is, it will be useless.

It's just one more Servant who died in vain.

"What should I do, Master? My treasure is not ready yet. It is too foolish to attack in this situation. I can only watch him being abandoned."

Hearing this, Shuoyue was attracted to the beautiful black-dressed beauty with a pair of elf-like ears.

Servant·Assassin, Semiramis.

A figure in the 9th century BC, a legendary queen in Assyrian history.

Although she was born between the Syrian goddess of fish Derketo and a human male, she was placed by the water without motherly love. Later, she was warmed by the wings of a dove and raised by the milk brought by the pigeon. Because of her beauty, she was taken away by the Assyrian king Ninus at first sight and made his queen.

A few days after the marriage, she poisoned King Ninus, which is regarded as the oldest surviving poisoning case in legend. Therefore, she is also known as the world's oldest poisoner.

Her most powerful treasure is the "Hanging Garden of Vanity". Since it was not Semiramis who built the Hanging Garden in history, it was named "Vanity", but Semiramis can still use it as a treasure by using the faith of many misunderstandings.

After sixty years of searching, Amakusa finally chose Semiramis as his Servant, and a large part of the reason was because of this anti-world treasure.

Because of its hypocrisy, the conditions for the activation of this treasure are quite strict. A certain amount of wood, stone, minerals, plants and water from Semiramis's residence must be collected and combined, and then Semiramis will hold a long ceremony to make the fantasy become reality to complete this treasure.

The ceremony takes about three days, which is why Amakusa and the Empress showed a headache after learning that Berserker had left.

Before the "Hanging Garden" was built, the choice of the Red Side to hold the base was the most appropriate.

Facing the distress of the person in charge, Shakespeare not only did not empathize with him, but laughed out loud with a sense of malice:

"'Mischief, thou art afoot, take thou what course thou wilt!', haha, that's it."

"——Huh, so it was you, Caster, who instigated him?"

Under Amakusa's half-smiled gaze, Caster looked up at the sky and remained motionless, looking away a little embarrassedly.

"You actually told him the location of Tuliphas, you are really——!"

"Oh, the sad and crazy knight who is desperately pursuing the person who should betray. I, Shakespeare, can't bear to see his full of distress!"

Hearing such a funny person's words, Sakutsuki shifted his attention to Shakespeare, and his information emerged in his mind.

For Caster Shakespeare, this world is simply a legendary story that shakes the world. No, it must be like this. He loves those extraordinary beings from the bottom of his heart, and constantly pursues the stories and legends woven by them.

For this reason, a little deception and instigation are "allowed" in his opinion, all for the story.

Therefore, you will be the servant I have chosen, the one who is most likely to join our "blue" side...

After all, whose story can be more bizarre than his? Whose sacrifice can satisfy the appetite of this great writer more than his?

Shuoyue believes that the quality of the writer will not let Shakespeare let go of the blue side's story!

"This guy is really a headache, Ru..."

Ha, assassin sighed. Caster said to her nonchalantly:

"Men like us are called 'troublemakers' or 'pranksters'."

At this moment, Amakusa waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the Empress and Shabi.

"There is no other way. Request Archer to provide rear support for Berserker. However, give him strict orders to retreat immediately if the situation becomes bad. There is absolutely no way to stop that Berserker. Even if his Master's Command Seal is consumed, he will repeat the same thing after a period of time."

"Got it. I will send a message to Archer through my familiar." The empress nodded in agreement like a good wife. Amakusa returned a thankful smile and turned to look at the idle Sakutsuki again.

"As for Mr. Sakutsuki who has just joined..."

"Ah, I understand, I understand." Sakutsuki skillfully interrupted him, "It's my turn to prove my value to the Red Team, right? Don't worry, I will help you at the critical moment!"

"...Please." Looking at Sakutsuki who was talking out of tune, Amakusa couldn't help but miss the calm and cold killer in combat.

His Excellency Sakutsuki's personality... is really strange.

————

On one side is the magician family Yugdomrenia who tried to get rid of the Clock Tower. On the other side is the magician group hired by the Clock Tower who can't tolerate this and aim to take back the Holy Grail.

There is no surrender, no peace, and no room for negotiation. This is a true annihilation war, a mutual fight with the awareness of death.

However, most wars always start peacefully.

In this way, after all the members of the Black Team and the Red Team arrived, the night of this day fell on time.

Flying over Tulifas, the bird-shaped familiar, which was rough as if made of mud but precise enough to escape gravity, turned its creepy white eyes, as if it had discovered something, and slid under the dense clouds.

In Tulifas at night, everything was quiet. Every household had turned off the lights. There was not even a single store open 24 hours a day.

Only the street lights on the roadside illuminated the night. However, the lights were extremely dim, and it was really insignificant to fight against the night.

At this moment, a hearty female voice pierced the settled night and spread loudly in the darkness.

"Oh, this feels really good!"

It was a beautiful girl wearing a red sportswear and a blonde ponytail. She was wearing short shorts that were too short, and her underwear was no different from a tube top. A necklace with a black and gold "X" symbol fell on her fair skin, swaying as the girl jumped.

It was a piece of clothing that would be exposed if the coat was removed, but it unexpectedly looked cool and full of vitality on the girl.

"Sorry, Master, I've cost you so much!"

"You're welcome, this is also a necessary expense." Lion Jie withdrew his gaze from the cheerful Mordred and once again lamented how outrageous history was.

Who would have thought that after taking off the hideous and heavy armor, what appeared in front of him was a lively and clever little girl?

If Mordred is a replica of King Arthur, and has developed to this state in just a few years, does it mean that her mind is actually only a few years old...

With a muffled "bang", Lion Jie was slapped hard on the back, and his "treasonous" thoughts were interrupted. He only heard Mordred muttering:

"However, it's rare that we broke into the enemy's territory, and no one came to attack us."

Mordred and Lion Jie, as masters and servants who broke away from the camp but still pursued the Holy Grail, have been looking for a place to serve as a base for attacking the Mirenia Fortress. If it were a normal Holy Grail War, in theory, they only needed to find the Master's workshop, but this time there was no need.

The reason is that their base was already determined to be the fortress. There is no need to search again. Whether it is the Master or the Servant, it is impossible for them to leave the extremely strong fortress. In other words, as long as they don't capture the fortress, they can't do anything.

This is the reason why they visited Tulifas in the dead of night.

"Don't worry, this is a town under the management of Yugdomirenia." Lion Jie put his hands in his trouser pockets, seemingly defenseless, but in fact he had already grasped the magic props in his pocket.

"In other words... the public security is very good?" Mordred's tail tone suddenly restrained, and he and Lion Jie stopped walking together.

"What do you think?" The master beside him chuckled, obviously very satisfied with the other party's support.

At some point, humanoid and non-humanoid golems appeared from all directions in the west. It seems that they were disguised on the roofs of nearby buildings before.

Not only that - at some point, people holding battle axes also gathered and surrounded the two together with the golems.

No, to say that they are human, the relationship is still too thin. The most important reason is that their faces are not only mistaken for brothers, but they are simply printed out of the same mold.

"Human... No, is it a homunculus?"

"..."

After listening to Lion Jie's complaints, Xiao Mo moved his body a little uneasily.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... Master, give me the instructions."

"My magic is not powerful enough to deal with golems... Let me deal with the androids, and I'll leave the golems to you."

"Oh."

"Let me see your power, Saber!"

With such a loud shout, Lion Jie rushed out first. At the same time, Mordred turned around. The tall and burly golem had appeared behind her, waving a thick stone stick and smashing at her!

Bang!

With the red lightning as the center, the fierce impact swept the air and made a strong sound of hard collision.

"Got it-Master!"

The gauntlet blocked the attack of the puppet, and the blonde girl's smile gradually became ferocious. Before the next attack of the puppet came, she stepped on the red thunder and retreated, and then quickly rushed forward. She stepped on the stone stick at the moment when the enemy defended, and bounced up with the momentum. Her feet equipped with red and white armor trampled on the wall of the building.

Charge-collision!

"drink!"

As he exhaled loudly, fragments of the wall flew with pieces of the demon's broken body, and red thunder and lightning boiled, illuminating the girl's cruel smile!

Hanging Gardens of Babylon

Level: EX

Type: Opposing Noble Phantasm

The garden floats because of the "upside-down" concept, in which plants grow downward and water flows from downstream to upstream.

As long as you stay inside the garden (fortress), all status of Semiramis will be strengthened. Notability will also be raised to the highest level.

It can float thousands of meters in the air, and there are 11 counter techniques (black plates with a total length of more than 20 meters) set up around the courtyard, called "Black Coffin of Ten and One (Tiamtum Umu)". It can continuously shoot out-of-specification light bombs from the plates, and its destructive power can be called "anti-military level" (Note: Tiamtum is the etymology of the ancient Babylonian mother goddess "Tiamat"; Umu is the 11 animals born by Tiamat. monster)
