Chapter 222
"By the way, do you really have nothing else?"
After sacrificing all the corpses, Bluebeard took out a book and approached Darnic.
That book was exactly the "Jeanne d'Arc Fan Club Set" that Darnic opened yesterday.
He thought it was something useless, but didn't expect it could be used to bribe Bluebeard.
"There really isn't any left."
Daanik waved his hand, signaling Bluebeard to deploy all the Sea Horrors into the forest outside.
He was currently contemplating countermeasures for the night and had no interest in discussing such trivial matters with Bluebeard.
The other Masters of the Yggdmillennia faction were also preparing for battle.
The Count waited quietly in his room; as the leader, he had nothing specific to attend to.
Fiore took her subordinates to inspect her Mystic Code to ensure no mishaps would occur during the night, while Chiron was in his room teaching Sieg.
Caules was in the back garden with Frankenstein, practicing his electrical magecraft under her assistance; it was the only thing he could do for now.
Avicebron and Roche continued to rush the production of a batch of golems in the factory so they could be deployed before nightfall.
Gordes, meanwhile, kept lecturing Siegfried in his room; after watching the video, the guy felt increasingly insecure.
As for Astolfo, he was helplessly enduring the obsessive behavior of his Master, Celenike, in the dungeon.
The atmosphere throughout the Yggdmillennia castle was extremely grave.
On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, the Red faction.
"Although the pace was accelerated, it was completed in time."
Semiramis admired the magnificent siege before her, feeling quite satisfied.
Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine also smiled and said, "Indeed, we finally caught up with our plan."
"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."
Time quickly reached midnight.
All members of the Black faction gathered in the castle hall, waiting quietly for the enemy's arrival.
"They're here."
Avicebron said in a deep voice; he had received news of the attack.
However, the attackers were his own golems.
Just moments ago, some of the golems patrolling the forest suddenly broke free from his control and began attacking the other golems.
Needless to say, this was definitely the enemy's doing, but the monitoring magecraft in the forest could not capture any trace of the intruders.
"Go and Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take a look."
The Count gave the order directly; since the surveillance was useless, they would go and investigate with their own eyes.
The group arrived at the castle gate, and Chiron quickly stood at the highest point, observing with his Clairvoyance.
Although he still could not find the enemy's figure, he discovered the reason for the golems' loss of control.
Those out-of-control golems were all marked with strange golden talismans. Chiron recognized them as the talisman patterns of the ZG.
With this, the enemy's identity was confirmed.
"Feng Xi, so it really is him."
Daanik said in a deep voice, "Have you still not found the opponent's figure?"
"Not yet."
Chiron said in a deep voice, "The opponent likely used a Noble Phantasm with stealth effects."
"Is that so? It's not surprising, after all, the opponent has the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh."
Daanik said sternly, "In that case, find a way to lure them out."
"Saber, Rider, Berserker, go together, do not spread out too much."
Astolfo: "Hai hai."
Siegfried: "I understand."
The three immediately launched their attack, charging into the forest together, clearing out the out-of-control golems while searching for traces of Feng Xi.
"Ancient tombs become green ridges, the secluded palace mimics the purple terrace. The seven luminaries of the stars are separated, the Milky Way opens the nine springs."
"【Mausoleum of the First Emperor · Underground Heavenly Palace】!"
Suddenly, the First Emperor's deep voice resounded, and before Siegfried and the others could retreat, they were brought into the First Emperor's underground palace.
They did not expect that they would be dragged into a Reality Marble without even seeing the opponent's shadow.
An endless stream of terracotta warriors emerged from the palace, surrounding the three along with the golden beasts outside the palace.
The river of mercury surged, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Although the Underground Heavenly Palace was pierced by Karna yesterday, it was not because the First Emperor's mausoleum was weak, but because Karna was too strong.
Siegfried and the others were completely unable to deal with it as easily as Karna.
Outside, seeing Siegfried and the others 'wiped out', Daanik couldn't help but punch the castle wall.
Even if Siegfried and the others didn't retreat, it would likely Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take them a lot of time to get out, and the situation was even more unfavorable for the Black faction.
"Whoosh!!!"
Just then, a powerful arrow shot out from the distant forest, heading straight for the gate of Yggdmillennia Castle.
Chiron hurriedly looked toward the source of the attack and happened to see Feng Xi, who had revealed himself.
Looking at the familiar great bow in the opponent's hand, Chiron felt a sense of foreboding.
He looked at the incoming attack; that was no arrow, it was a Heroic Spirit.
It was Hassan of the Hundred Faces.
The opponent was trying to wipe them all out in one go.
"Damn it..."
Chiron immediately fired a series of arrows to intercept, but they were all useless.
Daanik: "Marshal!"
Daanik hurriedly ordered Bluebeard to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take action, as the Count and Avicebron had no long-range attack methods.
Bluebeard immediately summoned several magic energy orbs to attack, but like Chiron's arrows, they had no effect at all.
"【Antares Snipe】!"
Helpless, Chiron had to activate his Noble Phantasm, the stars turning into arrows and falling, finally destroying Hassan of the Hundred Faces before it could hit.
Chiron did not expect Feng Xi to be so ruthless, sacrificing a Servant right from the start, but he did not know that he had been tricked.
"Sure enough, he fell for it."
Watching Chiron use up his Noble Phantasm, which could only be used once a day, Feng Xi smiled triumphantly.
This greatly weakened Chiron's combat power, so next...
"Let's have another one."
Feng Xi signaled to Hassan of the Hundred Faces on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, and the latter immediately split off a clone and jumped onto the bow.
That's right, the previous one was a clone of Hassan of the Hundred Faces.
The clones of Hassan of the Hundred Faces were summoned as multiple Heroic Spirits by dispersing her own soul through her Noble Phantasm, "Delusional Illusion." Although their strength was not high, each counted as a Servant.
In other words, each clone of Hassan of the Hundred Faces could be used as a cannonball for the "Pincer Attack."
Although the power was slightly smaller, it still exceeded a D-rank Noble Phantasm.
Feng Xi instantly discovered the true usage of Hassan of the Hundred Faces.
Hassan of the Hundred Faces and the "Pincer Attack" were a perfect match.
Hassan-brand cannonballs, you deserve to have them.
It was a pity he thought of it too late, otherwise he would never have let Hassan of the Hundred Faces lose a clone.
80 cannonballs for the "Pincer Attack," who could compete with him?
The second cannonball was fired, making Chiron raise an eyebrow.
This guy is so ruthless, he actually sacrificed another Servant?
Seeing that the second cannonball was still Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Chiron's expression distorted.
Damn, can you even play like that!
This time the Black faction had no way to block the attack and could only quickly retreat from the castle gate.
"Boom!!!"
Powerful magic energy exploded at the gate, causing the entire Yggdmillennia Castle to shake.
Although the gate was not damaged, the magic barriers they had set up were all destroyed.
Yggdmillennia Castle now had no defense whatsoever.
Just then, the third cannonball followed closely, continuing to strike toward the gate.
Gordes: "Are you kidding me! Is there no end to this!"
Daanik: "Caster!"
