Chapter 577
How embarrassing.
Why is such a childish Big Brother so strong? Things like bloodlines really shouldn't exist.
"Cough, cough. So, in the tone of Kaito Kuroba, the Conqueror King's ultimate trump card, that Noble Phantasm, is actually summoning an army, right?"
"The logic holds up. Alexander the Great, the Conqueror King, swept through the Persian Empire and campaigned for thousands of miles; his expeditionary army is indeed his most famous asset, but..."
This guy was a bit hesitant.
Another person chimed in: "Too weak, right? Although an army from the Age of Gods might even surpass modern armies equipped with various missiles, nuclear weapons, thermobaric bombs, and cluster bombs, Heroic Spirits are a qualitative change."
People fell silent.
Never mind Heroic Spirits.
Aside from nuclear weapons that stack temperature and power without limit, even the military magic and war ninjutsu of their world are absolutely not inferior to modern thermal weapons in scale, and might even exceed them.
So what if it's a mythical army?
Those are Heroic Spirits who have completed their sublimation; they are existence from an entirely different dimension.
Just look at Diarmuid; even in life, he charged through mythical battle formations as if they were nothing. Only other powerful heroes were qualified to stand before him.
How much more so after sublimation?
An army, even an army of Heroic Spirits, really has no meaning to a Servant.
But the problem arises.
By what right does a mere army of tens of thousands qualify as an unmeasurable Ex-rank?
Just as people were lost in thought.
A voice spoke out a chilling guess: "What if... quite a few people in that expeditionary army also sublimated into Heroic Spirits?"
Instantly.
The world went quiet.
After a long while.
It erupted with a bang.
"Damn, impossible!!!"
"Hell, what kind of bullshit fantasy is that? Those are Heroic Spirits, not Chinese cabbage."
"Nonsense. If that were the case, why bother fighting? Just kneel and hand over the Holy Grail directly."
People were anxious, frantically denying it.
Damn it.
What are Heroic Spirits?
They are the Morning Stars shining on the timeline, existences that illuminate the past, present, and future, sung of for ages, chanted for ten thousand years.
Do you think they're Chinese cabbage?
The coordination of seven Servants of different classes is enough to surround and kill a Higher God.
Seven first-rate Servants of different classes could even overturn a Main God.
A mythical army led by multiple, or even hundreds, of Heroic Spirits—what kind of concept is that?
Everyone looked at that person as if they were a lunatic.
But that person interrupted: "I haven't finished. A full-state Servant is of course impossible, but what if they don't have Noble Phantasms?
A mythical army led by dozens of melee-capable Servants would also be worthy of the name of an Ex-rank Noble Phantasm, right?"
This time.
People hesitated.
But a Servant's melee combat itself is also a manifestation of extremely strong combat power.
For example, Saber and Lancelot, or Brother Luo Shu, who suppresses the entire field with the aura of an invincible person...
"Stop guessing blindly. It's the Saber team's turn."
"Hahaha, the Master was snatched away by Brother Luo Shu, now she can only drive herself and take a girl along."
"Don't laugh. Don't you think a 1.54-meter Saber and a huge heavy motorcycle have a contrasting cuteness?"
【Amidst the roar of the engine, boom, boom, boom.】
【A heavy motorcycle with a ferocious, rugged, and domineering design turned into a black line, speeding on the highway.】
【The whole body was shiny black, the design was domineering, full of majesty, and every line was so rigid.】
【Every scar and battle damage seemed to still be permeated with lingering smoke and death.】
【The cold metallic texture shone with a condensed brilliance. The moment one saw it, one felt an unparalleled domineering aura.】
【It caused the invisible air to turn into a wild wind, lifting the shining golden ponytail to dance with the wind.】
【It formed a sharp contrast with the petite and heroic figure of the blonde driver.】
【"How does it feel to drive Sister Yano's beloved vehicle? Saber?"】
【Holding the waist of the heroic Servant girl, the woman named Meguri Meguri smiled, her expression complex: "Whenever Sister Yano has to make a painful choice, she drives this Defender to vent."】
【"A decent means of transport. The speed is not much worse than the Pegasus I had in the past that died at the Battle of Camlann. Modern technology is truly surprising."】
【The King with her blonde hair tied in a ponytail smiled, her azure eyes filled with some sadness.】
【Since last night, she could clearly perceive that the scabbard of her holy sword was emitting waves of information.】
【After informing Meguri Meguri, she immediately decoded the information with their password.】
【That was Yano urging them to be careful of Caster's Master, Matou Kariya.】
【He is definitely a pseudo-Servant of Lancelot, and the target is very likely Saber.】
【Fortunately, Caster appreciates Saber's qualities and is unwilling to help the evildoer, so she is safe for now and will return soon.】
【Undoubtedly.】
【For them, this is excellent news.】
【Meguri Meguri is extremely excellent as a tool, but what a Servant needs least is a tool.】
【After weighing the pros and cons, Saber finally held back and did not go to the location where the scabbard emitted the signal.】
【She wasn't sure.】
【No matter who it is, even the arrogant King of Heroes, facing the terrifying divine might of that God-Slayer King Li Shuwen last night, would definitely not dare to be careless.】
【Therefore, they are prepared to follow Yano's suggestion and go to her old mansion in the city center first to settle down.】
【After a moment of silence, the heroic King's azure eyes flickered: "Is it really okay to arrange the mansion as a new base in the city center?"】
【"There is no problem with this."】
【Holding Saber's slender waist, Meguri Meguri brushed the hair by her slender neck: "The Holy Grail War must be conducted in secret; this is an absolute principle. This is the consensus of the Magecraft World's Mage Association and the Holy Church, and no one is allowed to violate it."】
【"Therefore, both the Shijo family and the Matou family have established bases in the city, because the city area is the safest place. It is actually a rare minority that builds a castle in the suburbs as a base like the Einzbern family."】
【Saber looked up at the sky, at the helicopters circling over the former port, and then at the experts excitedly analyzing on the big screen on the side of the street, wanting to speak but stopping.】
【Really?】
【Is the Holy Grail War really conducted in secret?】
【Is the modern requirement for secrecy a little too low?】
"Hahaha, hilarious, even Saber can't help but complain."
"Yeah, 'secret', referring to a celestial-level giant and a trillion-ton mythical war."
"Hmph, clearly an outsider, jpg."
People in reality were laughing so hard they were gasping for air.
This point is truly beyond complaint; I'm genuinely curious how thick the nerves of the people in Fuyuki are.
"Speaking of which, among the four kings now, Saber is the weakest, right? Brother Luo Shu and Gilgamesh, the two kings, go without saying; one is more of a cheater than the other. The Conqueror King's Ex-rank trump card has also shown traces. Saber not only hasn't strengthened, but has weakened."
"Yeah, now it's possible that even Diarmuid could bully her. Although Excalibur is invincible, it has a pre-swing, right?"
"Then we have to wait for Yukinoshita Yano to bring back Avalon. With such an Ex-rank Noble Phantasm, one hand with invincible defense and one hand with Excalibur washing the ground, she will jump directly into the strongest tier."
"I'm just afraid we can't wait that long. Given their current situation, whether it's Diarmuid or Lancelot coming over, they could finish them off."
"Yeah, the Masters all saw the outcome of that battle; they might not be tempted to clear out Saber first... Holy shit..."
"Yukinoshita, that is..."
The Mutual Aid Society building.
The focused crowd turned their heads in unison to look at the girl who was also somewhat stunned. ===== CHAPTER 578 =====
