Chapter 117

“Moo!!!”

The Wheel of the Conqueror sped forth, charging toward Darius III atop the Death War Elephant.

The enlarged Death War Elephant was, in fact, easier for the Flying Hoof Thunder Bulls to handle.

Because the larger the Death War Elephant became, the wider its range of motion, making it easier to dodge.

In no time at all, the Great Emperor landed on the back of the Death War Elephant.

“I, S, K, A, N, D, A, R!”

Darius III swung the golden double-headed axe in his hands, roaring as he charged at the Great Emperor.

“Come, King of Persia!”

The Great Emperor also drew his "Via Expugnatio" and charged toward his opponent.

The two sides engaged in a one-on-one melee.

The Flying Hoof Thunder Bulls continued to pull the chariot, drawing the Death War Elephant’s attention to prevent it from interfering with the duel.

This battle showcased ancient warfare to everyone watching.

Facing a Death War Elephant they knew they could not defeat, the Great Emperor’s army still charged forward wave after wave, simply because their King was fighting on the front lines.

The chariot was smashed, and the Flying Hoof Thunder Bulls collided with the Death War Elephant without flinching, all to buy time for their master.

Everyone watched the battle in silence, saying nothing.

“Splat!”

Finally, the battle reached its conclusion.

“Hoo... King of Persia, I have won again this time.”

On the back of the Death War Elephant, the Great Emperor, covered in blood, grinned broadly.

At this moment, his body was covered in wounds of all sizes, and his left arm had been severed.

Of course, Darius III was no better off; one of the horns on his head had been cut off.

Although Darius III had the advantage of dual-wielding, one must not forget his class: Berserker.

To deal with such a ferocious Berserker, the best way is to win through strategy.

The Great Emperor had used a feint, sacrificing an arm to successfully strike his opponent.

Though it was only one sword strike, it successfully destroyed the opponent's spiritual foundation, winning the battle in one blow.

“I, S, K, A, N, D, A, R...”

Darius III stared fixedly at the Great Emperor, reaching out as if to grab him, but time ran out, and he, along with the Death War Elephant beneath him, turned into golden light and vanished.

The heavily wounded Great Emperor fell from mid-air, was quickly caught by the Flying Hoof Thunder Bulls, and brought back to the ground.

“Victory! Victory! Victory!”

The moment the Great Emperor returned to the ground, the soldiers surrounded him and cheered.

“That’s right, we have won!”

The Great Emperor joined in the cheering, completely ignoring the wounds on his body.

“I didn’t expect the King of Conquerors to win in the end.”

Tokiomi Tohsaka watched this scene with some emotion.

Darius III could have relied on his Undying Army to wear the Great Emperor down, but in the end, he chose to settle it one-on-one.

Perhaps for Darius III, if the Great Emperor did not die by his own hand, nothing else had meaning.

“Rider, you...”

The battle was over, and Waver hurried over, momentarily at a loss for words as he looked at the Great Emperor’s tragic state.

“Hahaha, why that expression?”

The Great Emperor patted Waver’s shoulder with his blood-stained hand and laughed: “We are the victors, after all. Cheer up.”

“You guy...”

Waver was speechless as he looked at the bloody handprint on his clothes.

“King of Conquerors, since you have already won, why do you not dispel your Reality Marble?”

The First Emperor walked over at this moment and spoke.

“Hahaha, as expected of the First Emperor, you have already understood my intent.”

The Great Emperor raised his sword and said: “Next, it is time for us to settle our own score.”

“You, Ying Zheng, are you willing to accept my challenge?”

The First Emperor’s expression remained unchanged, showing no surprise; he had clearly guessed the Great Emperor’s plan long ago.

“What are you talking about!”

Waver, however, grew anxious and hurriedly said: “You’re in this state now, and you still want to continue!”

The Great Emperor: “My path of conquest will not stop because of this.”

The First Emperor: “Very well, King of Conquerors Iskandar, your fearlessness has moved me, and I accept.”

Immediately, he tossed a bottle of healing potion to the Great Emperor.

He had opened this from a treasure chest earlier; he had no use for it himself, so he offered it as a favor.

“You are actually healing me, your enemy? Are you that confident?”

Saying this, the Great Emperor drank the potion in one gulp.

Instantly, the wounds on his body writhed, and within seconds, they returned to their original state.

Seeing this, the Second (Waver) hurried to retrieve the Great Emperor’s severed arm and reattached it.

He knew that this potion did not have the effect of regrowing severed limbs.

Under the influence of the medicine, the Great Emperor’s severed arm also recovered quickly.

Within seconds, the Great Emperor was back to normal, with only the bloodstains on his body proving his previous injuries.

“Come! First Emperor!”

The Great Emperor summoned Bucephalus, mounted his horse, and shouted to the First Emperor.

The Wheel of the Conqueror had been destroyed, so he could only face his enemy on horseback.

The First Emperor: “King of Conquerors, you have shown me the strength of Western armies. Today, I invite you to appreciate the armaments of my Great Qin.”

As the First Emperor’s voice fell, majestic city walls rose up around him.

These walls were grand and continuous; once they appeared, everyone could not see where they ended.

“The Great Wall!”

Tokiomi Tohsaka and the others recognized this structure instantly.

It was the world-famous Great Wall of China.

It was to be expected of the First Emperor to use the Great Wall as a Noble Phantasm.

“The Great Wall Shall Never Fall!”

As the Noble Phantasm was activated, soldiers wearing Qin armor appeared on the Great Wall.

These were the garrison troops of the Great Qin who guarded the Great Wall.

“King of Conquerors, if you can do it, break through this first line of defense of the Great Qin!”

The First Emperor stood on a beacon tower and shouted to the Great Emperor.

“The Great Wall, eh? This is getting interesting.”

The Great Emperor laughed: “But don’t think a mere wall can stop my advance!”
