Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"Oh? I just said it casually, don't pay too much attention to it."

When Yi Guang heard the system say this, he immediately had a feeling of causing trouble.In all fairness, although this guy is always cheating himself on things like mission rewards, he is always quite reliable when it comes to key issues.For such a partner, Yi Guang actually has a certain sense of gratitude on the whole.

[You and I are a community of destiny, we all prosper, and we all lose.Only if you continue to become stronger, can I continue to evolve myself and become a complete existence... The seven of us exist for this. 】

"Self-evolution?" Yi Guang felt that this guy seemed to have revealed something inadvertently, "You mean, as we travel more and more worlds, will these systems of yours also self-evolve?"

[This question, you will understand in the future, it is similar to what you understand, but there are some differences.Well, it's useless to say more now, you'd better focus on your current tasks.In short, don't worry about the next mission. If you want to go to "Bloodborne", I will help you find a way. 】

"This... well, then thank you very much." Yi Guang nodded, and then withdrew his consciousness from the spiritual world.

Yi Guang and Estes searched for a day with a small team, trying to find traces of the Hulk, but as Yi Guang had expected, they found nothing of value.Most of the places this guy passed through were wilderness, and there were not many places where he could leave traces.But if he searched further ahead, he couldn't come back in a short time, so after searching for several hours, Yi Guang could only lead his people to give up the search with some regret.After all, the connection with Huan Ye is the most important thing compared to the Hulk who suddenly entered and died.

In addition, I have been separated from Estes for more than half a month, and although it is summoned by a dream, it is indeed a reunion.Naturally, Yi Guang would not be so casual, wasting the time spent with each other.What's more, Estes will follow the magic night who came here tomorrow, and return to Rome with most of his troops. After the integration, they will go to the north to attack Milan.

Therefore, this can be regarded as a certain sense, let’s gather less and leave more.

This is also the sorrow of the traveler, and it is also one of the sources of anxiety in Yi Guang's heart.Therefore, he didn't like Huan Ye's argument very much, and at the same time he was quite surprised why a girl could say the proposal of "opening a harem" in such a serious manner.

I always feel that I can't understand...

However, no matter how incomprehensible, Huan Ye successfully reunited with Yi Guang the next morning, and Yi Guang also handed over the command of two-thirds of his army to her.At the same time, it was also the first time for Huan Ye to officially meet Esdes.

"Uh, let me introduce you. This is my teammate on this mission to save the Roman Empire. You can call her code name, Assassin. Come on, Assassin, you should have seen this in the communication before. This is me. The wife I met in the world of "Zanchi", Estes."

Introducing the two women to each other, Yi Guang felt that the atmosphere of their meeting was a bit strange.Fortunately, Estes said that as Yi Guang's wife, during his absence, her husband met a beautiful girl, and it would be normal if she had some thoughts in her heart.Anyway, Yi Guang felt that it didn't matter, he was not afraid of the shadow, and nothing happened between him and Huan Ye.I believe that Estes is just instinctively suspicious, and he will naturally let go of it after a long time.

But, Miss Huan Ye, what the hell is that look on your face?

The Assassin Huan Ye in the middle also put on a rather guarded look when facing Estes, who was looking at her and Yi Guang suspiciously.Although Yi Guang had no intention of probing her heart, but the ancient god's sensitivity to spirit and soul made Yi Guang realize that this girl seems to have a bit of resentment towards Esdeth?And there seems to be some... fear?

Yi Guang thought about it, and felt a little uneasy, so he found an excuse to leave, squatted in a corner and contacted Huan Ye through the system.After all, Estes is going to leave with Huan Ye, if they have a grudge against each other but can't talk about it... According to the character and force value of these two, Yi Guang is really afraid that this army will not be able to survive Back to Rome.

You know, Estes is an honest person who says he can do it.

However, he couldn't discuss this kind of issue with Huan Ye in front of Estes.Otherwise, God knows what inhumane things will happen in this already weird atmosphere?

"Ah, no, no, I'm just afraid that she will suddenly get violent and hurt people." Huan Ye waved his hand and said, "Actually, I don't like this kind of character very much. Well, how should I put it, I feel a little difficult to get along with... ah , I seem to have said something wrong, you, you don't mind, do you?"

"It's okay, because she is undoubtedly this kind of person." Yi Guang pondered for a while, "When I first met her, I also suffered a lot."

"Honestly speaking, I'm very strange. There are so many cute girls in the world of "Zhan Chi", why did you fall in love with her?" Huan Ye's tone was full of doubts, and he was cautious, "It seems that you are not the kind He's a guy in appearance, and he's not a man in the harem either. If it's the same thing, and stays with each other forever... Esdesh isn't the right candidate no matter how you look at it?"

"Hearing what you said, it seems that you have a big opinion on her?" Yi Guang frowned, although he knew that Esdesh was not a good bird in the original "Zhan Chi", even now Yi Guang only treated her The most basic character correction.But after all, she is my wife, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I hear someone say bad things about her.

This guy, Huan Ye, already knows a little bit about himself. He doesn't have many eyes, and his heart is not bad, but his brain is off-line and his mouth doesn't have a doorknob.Being a teammate with her requires a certain amount of psychological endurance and a considerable degree of self-cultivation.

"How should I put it, I am a person who can easily get emotional when watching anime." Huan Ye said "hmm" a few times, as a promise, and then said, ""Zhan Chi", I must have replaced it with 'Night Raid' Well, that's why I don't have a good opinion of the 'Hunter' side. Besides, you're still the captain of the 'Hunter'."

"Okay, okay, I understand a little bit." Yi Guang shook his head helplessly, "But Ms. Assassin, I hope you don't put this kind of emotion into the task. She is my wife after all. At least the most basic trust is still there. As a soldier, she can perfectly complete any combat plan, and she also has a considerable degree of leadership."

"I don't doubt this. Many characters of the Imperial Army in the original work admire her charisma. Maybe this is an existence similar to an anti-hero. Even if it is evil, it does have its own charm." Fantasia Ye also agreed with Yi Guang's statement, but her tone was still a little uncomfortable, "But, I'm still a little... She looks so fierce, why does she always look at me like a leopard staring at a sheep?"

"Uh, please don't mind this question, it's probably because you are a little closer to me." Yi Guang said helplessly, "After all, she is also a woman, and of course a woman will feel a little bit when she sees beautiful girls appearing around her husband. I mind a little. But it's okay, there's nothing between you and me, don't be afraid, right? You're not afraid of the shadow when you are upright."

"I... actually still have such a stupid thing!" Huan Ye couldn't help but rolled his eyes on the opposite side, "This kind of misunderstanding really makes me want to die, you know?"

Chapter 232 Ending the Snake of Dawn

As El-Melloi II had expected, the Caesar was not stupid.The large-scale military mobilization on the Roman side was not hidden from the eyes of the heroic spirit, and at the same time, the tactical intentions of the Roman side were clearly calculated by the other side.At about the same time when Huanye led most of Yiguang's troops and Esdess left southern Italy and returned to Rome, Caesar's army began to mobilize at the same time, but the information transmission of this era was lagging behind.By the time Caesar's army confirmed Rome's movement and headed north again, Huan Ye had already led the southern army and the "Tengu Mecha" regiment back to Rome, and began the integration of the expedition to the north.

According to the original plan, it was Yi Guang's job at this time, and when he realized that the Caesar's Legion had begun to move in, El-Melloi II issued a sniper order to Yi Guang.After Huan Ye took away most of the troops, Yi Guang only had 5000 troops left in his hands, equivalent to half a legion organized by the Roman army.Among them, 2000 people are the new army equipped with modern firearms provided by Rider, and the remaining 3000 people are the product of the mixture of the ordinary Roman army and the original United Empire West Route Army.

Two thousand soldiers armed with modern firearms, if placed in the normal ancient Roman era, can be said to have completely changed the existence of a battle. After all, even if the most primitive "queue to shoot" tactic is used, the firearms phalanx faces cold weapons. The advantage of charging is also extremely huge.However, Yi Guang is not currently living in the ancient Roman era where life is normal, and what he has to face is not simply an ancient Roman legion.

"According to the scattered information we got from the reincarnators, Caesar's personal guards are also equipped with a considerable number of technological weapons, and the specific level of equipment is unknown... However, it is always right to be cautious." Rider said in It was said in the communication, "Although most of the technology of that group of people cannot be promoted, judging from the transformation level of a batch of technological products we intercepted from that magic stick, the other party still has a certain amount of technology accumulation. .In contrast, our batch of firearms is compressing materials as much as possible, while the opponent has the resources of the entire Roman Empire to squander..."

"You mean, the opponent's weapon level may be stronger than ours?" Yi Guang frowned, "Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, so please be careful." Rider nodded, "Your task is to buy us enough time, not to confront them head-on. So, please avoid unnecessary sacrifices, after all, the other party still has at least two servants , and the Holy Grail of unreason."

Yes, the holy grail of unreasonableness, that's exactly what it is.On the second day after the conversation with Rider, the sniper team led by Yiguang blocked the only way for Caesar's army to go north according to the intelligence, and exchanged fire with Caesar's main army.Then, he deeply felt: the Holy Grail is indeed unreasonable.

If it was just a group of ancient Roman guards, it would be fine to charge forward with Gauss rifles. After all, it could be explained as the legacy of the "Reincarnation", but... what is the magic reaction on these guys?

That's right, with the Holy Grail, you can do whatever you want, and it's the first time Yi Guang really felt this.Caesar, who held the Holy Grail, actually transformed all the legionnaires under him into a state similar to that of a familiar.Similar things, in the FGOChapter 5 plot, Queen Maeve from Celtic mythology also did it.And that queen did a more thorough job than the current Caesar. Caesar just transformed the current group of guards, while Queen Maeve directly transformed all the legions under her into this degraded version of the old guard. who, and carried out a steady stream of summons.

"Thug chug——!!!"

Now, this group of soldiers from the United Empire is like a degraded version of servants, possessing strength and defense several times higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and at the same time holding more advanced firearms than Yi Guang's [-] Musketeers.As a result of a round of fighting, Yi Guang's army was defeated shortly after the start of the battle.

"I can go to your sister's house!"

Facing the opponent's behavior like cheating, Yi Guang suddenly became furious, "Magic Power Release·Flame" launched with all his strength, and his whole body fell into the enemy's camp like the sun.The scorching sun's fire immediately swept through the positions of the United Empire.

"Is that the servant who was left behind by the Roman legion?" Behind the camp of the United Empire, the heroic emperor in red looked at the flames that exploded not far away, showing a little interest, "Such powerful strength, It seems to be the opponent's main force."

"It's the sun..." Beside Caesar, a woman with long hair fluttering like a snake, looked at the flames shining in the army formation, showing an inexplicable smile, "Servants on the side of the sun, Is it really okay to be so arrogant in front of me?"

Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, although he was a relatively weak Assassin class, if he faced the enemy head-on, it would naturally be impossible for him to be an opponent of a unparalleled warrior like Yi Guang.However, to her, the light of the sun on Yi Guang's body is the other party's biggest weakness.

"I am the pharaoh of Egypt, and I am also the incarnation of the sun. I am the end of the era of the pharaoh, and my death represents the fall of the sun..."

A golden light suddenly appeared on the side of the Egyptian queen, the dazzling brilliance swung rapidly around her side, and condensed into an entity in an instant, a dazzling golden cobra surrounded the side of the female pharaoh.

"It is the sunset of Egypt, the serpent of time that shows the end, and I command you as the last pharaoh... 'O serpent of the end dawn, come down here (Uraeus Astrape)'!"

As the female pharaoh released the real name of the treasure, the golden cobra neighed piercingly in the air, flying towards Yi Guang like a golden chain.Its whole body was burning with golden flames, and its figure became bigger and bigger during the flight. Finally, it opened its huge mouth, and rushed towards Yi Guang, whose whole body was bursting with the sun's fire!

At this time, Yi Guang was fighting with all his strength against the United Empire Legion strengthened by Caesar, and didn't notice Cleopatra's movement of releasing the Noble Phantasm.However, Yi Guang, who already knew that there were two heroic spirits in the opponent's army, naturally wouldn't fall for it so easily.At the same time as the other party's treasure was released, he was unambiguous and directly gathered the magic power on his spear.

"With this body, I will destroy the enemies of the empire! (Betrayer Killer)"

The crimson magic light converged into a roaring torrent and headed towards the golden giant snake. The entire army formation of the United Empire was completely torn in half by this light.The golden giant snake, the crimson torrent, and two extremely powerful forces collided fiercely at once.

"If you fight with magic power, I might not lose!" Yi Guang smiled confidently as he watched his own treasure physique collide with the opponent's.A steady stream of power poured out from the veins of the earth, entered his body, and turned into a part of the crimson light.

"It is indeed a very powerful treasure." The female pharaoh who drove the golden cobra smiled slightly, fascinating all beings, but at the same time, a vicious light flashed in her eyes, "But poisonous snakes never bite people by relying on strength!"

As soon as Cleopatra finished speaking, the giant snake that was originally entangled with the light of Yi Guang's treasure suddenly writhed, and its figure also changed back to its original size, avoiding Yi Guang's monster that seemed to destroy everything. torrent of light.Before Yi Guang could react at all, it turned into an afterimage and bit his neck.

"I……"

Yi Guang was caught off guard, and felt a strange magic power flow into his body, and then bursts of powerlessness gushed out from the depths of his body.The crimson magic light lost its brilliance in an instant, and the brave man riding a thousand horses fell under the sneak attack of the golden giant snake.

"It's obviously a heroic spirit on the side of the sun, but it dares to face me unprepared. It's really bold and arrogant."

In history, Cleopatra VII ushered in the end as the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt. At the last moment of her life, she ended her life with a snake.This snake was sublimated together with her after her death, and became her Noble Phantasm as a Heroic Spirit.

However, as things recognized and sublimated by the world, beings that can manifest as heroic spirits or treasures are often endowed with certain special meanings outside of their own legends.For example, Alexander the Great, who came from historical facts, after becoming a Heroic Spirit, the "Son of Zeus" that was originally his political propaganda slogan was also realized as a fact, so he obtained the "Gordias Wheel" as his Noble Phantasm.

Similarly, although it was only a treasure that appeared at the end of Cleopatra being bitten to death by a snake, the Pharaoh of ancient Egypt was originally called the "Son of the Sun God".For example, the Sun King Ozymandias (Ramesses II), one of the top representatives of the Fate series, claims to be the incarnation of the sun.In fact, in the later period of ancient Egypt, every pharaoh was considered to be the heir and incarnation of the sun god.

Although the Ptolemaic dynasty to which Cleopatra VII belonged was not an orthodox lineage of the ancient Egyptian dynasty, there is no doubt that the name "Pharaoh" did end on her.The end of the pharaoh era also represented the end of the ancient Egyptian era. Since then, Egypt has existed as a province of ancient Rome.The light of the sun god no longer shines on this desert kingdom.

The pharaoh who represents the sun, the last pharaoh, ended up with a snake, whether it is a coincidence or not, but it really matches the story in the myth - the snake born inside the world , devouring the light of the sun, bringing darkness to the world, this is the origin of the night.

The end of the pharaoh era is the fall of the sun, and the snake that killed the pharaoh is the incarnation of the snake demon "Apophis".

That is, in mythology, the magical beast that suppressed the sun's rays and brought endless night to the world.

"Ah la la, such a handsome little brother is rare, why don't you just come and be my servant..."

Chapter 233 Emperor's Light, Night Falls

"Ah la la, such a handsome little brother is rare, why don't you just come and be my servant..."

Seeing Yi Guang, who split the army formation with supreme power, but was plotted against by the giant snake, the snake girl who fascinated all sentient beings let out a chuckle.Then it was half-joking, showing a hint of solicitation without knowing the truth.After hearing her speech, the emperor in red beside her couldn't help but frowned, but at the same time, he didn't forget to release his magic power to wipe away the remaining power after Yi Guang released the treasure.

"I said, aren't you afraid of my jealousy when you say such things by my side?"

"Ah la la, don't worry, don't worry..." Cleopatra VII waved his hand, "After all, such a handsome man is rare. Compared with those ugly men, let such a man become a servant. Could it be more pleasant?"

"If possible, in fact, I really hope that such a powerful and handsome warrior will become one of my staff..." Caesar glanced at Cleopatra VII, and then smiled, but soon, He felt something was wrong again, "Wait a minute, this is?!"

As powerful spirit creatures, whether Caesar or Cleopatra VII, they felt a strange aura at the same time, spreading from the center of the battlefield.No, it's not just the two servants, even the soldiers who are not sensitive to breath, at this moment, they also feel some kind of unspeakable sense of danger.Those soldiers who saw Yi Guang fell to the ground and surrounded him with full armor suddenly had the idea of ​​running away for no reason.

"No, that guy..." The intuition of a famous general made Caesar immediately order the entire army to evacuate, but when he realized this, it was too late.

"It seems...someone is singing?" Suddenly, Cleopatra VII had a thought, and her ears seemed to hear some kind of indistinct singing, and she couldn't help but look around, "At this time, How can there be the sound of music?"

Not only the female pharaoh, but gradually, everyone felt the existence of the singing, and the soldiers present all showed confusion, and then they all looked in a certain direction in unison.But only Caesar, the uncrowned king who founded the Roman Empire, had an increasingly disturbed expression on his face.

This burst of inexplicable singing made him feel sick to his stomach, and the incomprehensible lyrics made him feel an inexplicable fear.

"What are you doing?! Evacuate quickly, didn't you hear my order?!" Caesar said sharply to his soldiers, "Damn it, I..."

Before Caesar finished speaking, he saw all the soldiers under his command loaded the guns in their hands, and then turned the muzzles of the weapons.Then, before Caesar could react, a stormy metal storm, accompanied by tongues of flames, struck towards him and Cleopatra VII!

"Thug chug——!!!!"

"Damn it! What's going on?!" Caesar, who was suddenly mutated, immediately took measures. As a follower, modern firearms and weapons could do very little damage to him.He drove his chariot and ran towards the soldiers who shot at him!

Although it is not a Noble Phantasm like the "Gordias Wheel" of King Iskandar the Conqueror, Caesar, as a heroic spirit of the Rider class, can also use his chariot if released with powerful magic power. Deals massive damage to enemies.It's just that now, he has to use the tricks he originally used to deal with the enemy to deal with his own soldiers.

"Boom--!!!"

The army formation that was originally divided into two by Yi Guang was filled again by soldiers who came to watch after Yi Guang fell to the ground.Now, another powerful force broke the entire army formation and ran over those soldiers who shot at their lord inexplicably.However, even though these soldiers were run over by Caesar's powerful magic battlefield, the surviving comrades around them never showed any fear because of this.They still watched their lord shoot with a blank expression, as if they were controlled by the singing...

"Yes, there is indeed something wrong with that singing voice!" Caesar suddenly realized, and then looked in the direction of Yi Guang, "That guy, he is playing tricks!"

In order to avoid complications, Caesar did not hesitate to drive the chariot towards Yiguang's direction, while magic power gathered around him.The whole body of the founder of the Roman Empire gradually exudes a god-like brilliance!

"I am Caesar, the one who conquered Gaul, the one who conquered Britain, and the one who subdued Egypt!" The king in red stood on the chariot, holding a golden sword that symbolized power, and chanted his own words loudly. The name of the world, "I am Caesar, my legion is overwhelming, and my sharp blade points to everything! I am the founder of the Roman Empire, the uncrowned king! Come, no matter who you are, no matter what you are, Be crushed by my brilliance!"

The magical power that was originally simply released was endowed with some kind of twisted and special power under Caesar's roar.The god-like light gathered on the chariot, and the founder of the Roman Empire revealed his true strength.

He is the founder of the Roman Empire. Even if he was not given the title of "emperor" after all, he did create the most important and glorious country in European history.Some scholars even directly regard the day when he took office as the "dictator" as the birth date of the ancient Roman Empire.

He is one of the most famous conquerors in history. He conquered Gaul, conquered Britain, and invaded Egypt. The territory of the Roman Republic was greatly expanded in his hands. "I came, I saw, I conquered!" This sentence is a true portrayal of his life.

Even though he failed to become the legitimate ruler of ancient Rome during his lifetime, the name "Caesar" still shines with incomparable brilliance in Europe for thousands of years after his death.The subsequent kings of the Roman Empire and Byzantium all called themselves "Caesar". Later, the monarchs of the German Empire and the Russian Empire also used "Caesar" as the title of emperor.

He is not an emperor, but his name has already become the glory of imperial power.

He is not a god, but his name shines like a god.

Now, the ruler who owns this brilliance appears in the world as a heroic spirit. This unparalleled achievement and prestige has been sublimated into this radiant treasure, which is called—"Here I lay the foundation of the empire" (Establishment) of Empire)!"

Condensing the brilliance of the initial achievements of the great Roman Empire, the power of the Noble Phantasm twisted the huge magic power to an incredible level.The terrifying light that once shattered the entire Roman Empire in one fell swoop reappears here!

"Hoo ho ho ho-!!!"

However, almost at the same time as the light appeared, a dazzling blue-purple light suddenly burst out from Yi Guang, who was in the center of the army formation and fell into a coma after being tricked by Cleopatra's treasure.At the same time, his body also climbed up from the ground, and was lifted into the air by an invisible force, and he let out a roar like a beast.
