Chapter 522: Bride Nero and Fergus!

~6 min read 1,109 words

The resistance and the United States army had joined forces. Of course, if Lin Ye wasn't counted, the strength gap between the two sides might still be quite large, after all, the Celtic camp had Fionn, the Mad King Cú Chulainn, Medb, Fergus, and Arjuna.

However, with Lin Ye, the scales of victory had completely tilted.

"Senior, we have recovered more than half of the territory, and we haven't encountered any resistance from the Celtic camp along the way."

Mash stood beside Lin Ye, reporting the war situation of the past few days carefully, as if she were a competent secretary.

Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction. "It seems the Black Dog and the others are preparing to concentrate their forces for a decisive battle with me. Otherwise, why wouldn't we have encountered any decent resistance along the way?"

The journey had been too smooth, so smooth that Lin Ye felt a bit bored. He suddenly regretted becoming king. This "imperial expedition" was boring, okay? Enemies would appear, and a bunch of Heroic Spirits would rush up one by one, leaving him no chance to take action.

Perhaps sensing Lin Ye's boredom, Geronimo's scout suddenly ran over and reported to Lin Ye:

"King! Ahead is Alexandria! According to reports, a powerful Heroic Spirit has occupied it, so it has remained independent from the three major camps! Do we need to launch an attack on it!"

Alexandria?

Lin Ye recalled and suddenly realized, "If I remember correctly, the one occupying this place should also be an old friend of mine."

Thinking of this, Lin Ye suddenly said to Helena beside him: "Helena, you stay here to oversee the army. Mash and I will go meet an old friend."

Old friend? Mash was stunned.

Since Senior Lin Ye wanted to take her along, didn't that mean she knew this old friend too?

Meanwhile, in Alexandria.

"La~ la-la~ la~ la~"

On the stage in the center of the town, a golden-haired beautiful girl in a wedding dress was humming happily. While humming, she was directing the residents of this city.

"Where's the assistant director! Hurry up and set up the stage! Stage manager! Maintain order on the set! And the set designers, lighting technicians, stylists, makeup artists! Get ready! The only lead actor for what's coming next, the great Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus! Is about to start performing!"

That's right, this was Lin Ye's old acquaintance, the Emperor of Rome, Nero! However, unlike the previous standard Nero and Beast Nero, this Nero was another aspect.

Nero (Bride), class Saber!

Looking at the busy crowd in front of her, Bride Nero was quite happy.

"Although the equipment here is simple and the scenes are monotonous, we can still shoot a Western, right? Maybe we can even win an Oscar! But why do I feel like something is missing..."

Nero looked at the staff members in front of her. Director, assistant director, stage manager, lighting technician, makeup artist... nothing seemed to be missing... Wait!

"Oh no! I'm missing a cameraman!"

Almost forgetting a cameraman while shooting a movie? It can only be said that it's truly you, Nero.

"This... at this time, where am I supposed to find a cameraman... do I have to use the Great Summoning Spell?"

Nero was very helpless. However, at this moment, a voice came from afar:

"Missing a cameraman? Perhaps I can help."

"Really?" Nero looked in the direction of the voice with surprise. A burly man carrying a large electric drill was walking toward her step by step. The man had slightly purplish hair and wore a green coat. What was most striking were his eyes, which were almost narrowed into slits.

The man walked straight to Bride Nero, stuck the great sword in his hand into the ground, and said:

"My name is Fergus, a man who once drew a salary from the Red Branch Knights."

"Fergus? Cú Chulainn's foster father?" Nero looked Fergus up and down, then checked his shoulders to confirm there was no camera, and said coldly: "It seems you are not the cameraman I'm looking for. In that case, what are you doing here?"

"This... *sigh*..." Fergus sighed helplessly. He wasn't a man who would destroy flowers, but unfortunately, one couldn't help oneself in the world of martial arts. "I am here on behalf of my King to invite you to join us."

However, Nero was incredibly arrogant. She turned her little face away and refused mercilessly:

"Hmph! I won't cooperate with anyone who doesn't have a camera!"

"Uh..." Fergus was even more helpless. You're still looking for a camera? Can't you see what the situation is at all?

Seeing the other party's appearance, Fergus could only grip his great electric drill again and say: "No choice. It seems I can only go against my heart and eliminate you, beautiful bride."

War is always cruel. Whether it's the United States or the Celts, they wouldn't allow a force to exist in this world that was independent of them and didn't follow their orders.

After all, no one knew when this force would lean toward the other side.

Seeing Fergus grip the sword in his hand, a white longsword appeared in Nero's hand.

Aestus Domus Aurea, but because Nero wanted to match her white wedding dress, she had specially painted the sword's exterior silver-white!

Nero pointed her sword at Fergus: "I'm not bragging! My strength is not something just anyone can handle!"

"So you are the tyrant of Rome, Nero?" Fergus was shocked for a moment, but only for a moment. In the next second, he returned to his previous indifference: "But it's useless. Before you, I've already solved three disobedient Heroic Spirits along the way, and you will be the fourth!"

*Swish! Swish!*

In the next second, the figures of two Sabers moved!

Although the great "electric drill" in Fergus's hand looked clumsy, this sword was an A++ Noble Phantasm named Caladbolg, and it was also the prototype for many holy swords, including King Arthur's Excalibur!

*CLANG!!*

The moment Caladbolg and Aestus Domus Aurea collided, dazzling sparks and ear-piercing sounds rang throughout Alexandria! Instantly, the film crew Nero had just gathered scattered like birds.

"No!!"

At this moment, Nero felt her heart was about to break! Unlike the standard Nero who wanted to become an idol, she only had two wishes!

One! To find a good partner and become the most beautiful bride.

Two! To shoot a blockbuster and win the Oscar for Best Actress!

However, now, both were gone.

"Fergus!! Stars to the heavens! Flowers to the earth! Love to the people! Noble Phantasm release! Praetorium Aestus Aurea!!"

Nero! Was furious!!
