Tomorrow's Ark Full of Heroic Spirits

"...His Royal Highness was defeated in the duel with Napoleon. Although she didn't seem to be injured, she never let others disturb her."

"...Take good care of Her Royal Highness's emotions, now she is our only hope, the hope that can resist the heroic spirit."

Kosche also reluctantly suppressed his emotions when he heard the words, he couldn't remember how many years he hadn't lost his temper like this.But obviously he returned to Ursus with the mentality of showing his fists and kicks, but he suffered repeated failures two times, and it was a fundamental failure. Even Kosche couldn't hold back his emotions.

In the final analysis, the existence of heroic spirits is too unbalanced, and Ursus is even facing such a crisis now, even Kosche didn't expect it-a Gaul emperor who was looking far away in Victoria at the beginning, would actually set off such a crisis Huge storm.

"My lord, are you going to bring the first or second army back from the northern border?"

At this moment, the staff officer cautiously suggested: "Now the Ursas Empire is at stake, as long as one army group returns, we will have enough strength to break the deadlock..."

"——Good idea, if the demons in the northern border launch an offensive, then it will be really at stake."

However, although the situation is at an end, Kosiche has not forgotten the greatest threat in the north.After glancing at the staff officer beside him, he said calmly, "Don't let me hear such suggestions again, we will never lead the demons to the land of Ursus, this is the most basic principle."

"Yes..." The staff officer shut his mouth immediately after hearing the words, and he realized that the harsh environment in the northern border is no easier than theirs here. trouble will be greater.

"...At this point, we can only ask for help." Kosiche also gradually regained his composure, looked at the surrounding situation, and finally turned his attention to Kasimir and Yan Guo.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, Yan Guo and Casimir are the most suitable existences to break the deadlock. One provides a passage at the throat of the western front. As long as this passage is cut off, the supply of the legions on the western front will be hindered.

As for the Yan Kingdom, it is more simple and rude. Only one army of the Yan Kingdom is needed, and Kazdel's Sarkaz mercenary group will be defeated immediately like a piece of paper. The Yan Kingdom's army will not fight with those old nobles Like the group army in the army, it is full of wine bags and rice bags.

"Send a diplomatic ambassador, I hope there will be good news."

Kosich also couldn't help looking out the window. At this moment, he could even see the gunpowder smoke in the distance through the window—the enemy's army was not even far from the capital.

"If God blesses me, Ursus, not to die today...then even if it is a deadly battle, we will never take a step back."

Kosche was muttering to himself, but at this moment, he didn't notice that a flash of red light came from the dark corner of the room...

It seems to be...a pair of eyes?But these eyes seem to have been watching this place, every corner of this land, for a long, long time...

Chapter 310: The desperate battle is now, the final condition is about to be fulfilled

The battle between the Western Alliance and the Ursus Empire has been a topic of great concern to the entire Terra continent in the recent period.The long-lost war at the level of World War I reminded everyone on this continent of the horror of war.

Unexpectedly, the Ursus Empire retreated steadily during this period of time, the defense line was constantly compressed, and the pressure did not drop by half from the beginning to the end.

The reason is very simple. Casimir rejected Ursas' request for help and refused to cut off the Western Union's supply line. This made Ursus's top management furious, but there was still nothing to do.

However, the progress of the Yan Kingdom was relatively smooth. However, the Yan Kingdom did not send troops, but sent ministers to negotiate with Teresis. The final result was that Teresis neither chose to withdraw troops nor chose Continue to advance, but stationed on the eastern front of the Ursas Empire, as if redrawing the boundaries between the two countries.

However, the Eastern Front's defense against Kazdel still cannot be careless. For this reason, Ursas still used the troops of the group army to monitor the movements of Teresis symbolically, so that it would not be completely helpless .

And the offensive on the western front... is now urgent, and the capital of Ursas is already in jeopardy...

……

On this day, Anastasia inspected the situation of the defenders on the city wall as usual. The remnants of the third, fourth, and fifth armies suffered several setbacks during the battle during this period, and the remaining troops are still there. Stick to the last line of defense in the capital.

However, the morale of the Ursus Legion is now very low.Where Anastasia walked, all she saw were the wounded and disgraced soldiers. They were either groaning in pain, or collapsed on the spot from exhaustion, and fell asleep sitting or leaning against the wall.

"...Bojocasti?"

"exist."

As Anastasia's voice fell, the patriot's huge body stood up from the ground again—in this battle of defending the city, the patriot also went to the front line as he wished, and defended Napoleon's [Noble Phantasm] The gap in the city gate after the explosion.

"I did not find Mr. Marshal, where is he?"

"...Master Marshal, you have already died for your country."

The Patriot's answer was very flat. Obviously, it was not the first time he had seen this situation.In war, generals are not absolutely safe. On the contrary, the more generals who understand the importance of boosting morale, the easier it is to sacrifice, because they cannot fully guarantee that they will stay in the rear and command, and their lives will be in danger at any time.

As for this answer, Anastasia also chose to accept it after being silent for a while. Her eyes swept across the huge gap that was originally part of the city gate... the corpses there were piled up quite high. up.

Many of these corpses belonged to the Allied forces, and there were slightly fewer Ursus soldiers. At this time, the individual quality of the soldiers of the Ursas Legion was reflected—under this kind of battle to guard the city gate A team of well-trained Ursus soldiers can withstand three times the enemy's attack on average. It is this kind of supplementary tactics that allows them to keep the city gate open.

This battle to defend the capital has lasted for three days, and the soldiers of Ursas have used all their courage and strength to defend the city from the broken walls of the capital.

Everyone is exhausted, and the lack of logistical supplies is also a big problem.

"We're short of food, right?" Anastasia glanced at the big leba in the hands of the patriot—a food that Anastasia couldn't eat just by smelling it , nothing else, just a fermented sour taste, hard to chew, but better than enough to eat.

"Medicines, food and ammunition are all in short supply now." Patriot replied truthfully.

"...The nobles are in charge of logistics, right? Why don't they provide logistical support in such a critical time?" Anastasia couldn't help asking.

"Perhaps they think that our defeat is set."

The Patriot has no joys or sorrows about the current predicament. He is quite happy that he can return to fight as a soldier of Ursus now.And he is not worried about his own safety, because before departure, Emiya has repeatedly emphasized that Patriot and Anastasia really can't hold on now, they can dial the device, and there will be Chaldea immediately. people came to support them from the battlefield.

Both the Patriot and Anastasia have one of this device. The Patriot has not used it yet. He feels that he can continue to fight for his homeland for a while.

"Many nobles left the day before the soldiers approached the city. They fled to the relatively safe east, where Kazdel's offensive eased, and we are still defending the capital."

"Nothing left?" Anastasia asked.

"No. I have already taken the soldiers to search their mansions." The patriot shook his head, his tone was very flat, and he didn't even have the strength to get angry. He just said like a bystander:

"Not even a Ursus gold coin fell on the ground, as if everything disappeared out of thin air."

"...it seems that they abandoned Ursus."

And Anastasia is also extremely helpless about this, in fact, such a result is expected - in Anastasia's memory, when the Tsarist Empire was overthrown, the people who rushed to the forefront Except for the mob, that is, these "upstarts" who were not deeply involved with the Tsarist Russian Empire.

They do not have the blood of the royal family of the Tsarist Russian Empire. They are just "superficial aristocrats" who bought official positions with money. Most of them are businessmen or wealthy households. Those who joined the "righteous" side came to destroy the Tsarist Russian Empire that once sheltered them, and they were more ferocious than wolves, tigers and leopards.

However, this didn't disappoint Anastasia, her eyes slowly turned to the dim sky at this moment... She wanted to sense the familiar atmosphere around here - but she couldn't detect it at all.

"Lei Di... until now, don't you think it's enough?"

"...His Royal Highness."

And at this moment, the patriot looked at Anastasia's gaze at the sky, and finally couldn't help asking: "I was curious from the beginning, you said you have nothing to do with the Ursus Empire?" But now, you are willing to stand up and fight for the Ursus Empire..."

"And I can feel that you seem to be waiting for something? You and Mr. Emiya... What is the purpose of coming to support the Ursus Empire?"

"...For an opportunity for the Ursus Empire to really sprout new shoots from the rotten dead wood, Captain Bodrokasti."

Anastasia shook her head, put away all her expressions again, and then walked slowly towards the outside of the city gate.

"...His Royal Highness?" Seeing Anastasia's movements, the patriot couldn't help but stand up and stop him: "Your Highness, it's dangerous outside."

"I know."

"But now, only I can stop them from attacking, and only I can try to restore everything."

Anastasia didn't know what the criteria for the birth of Ivan the Terrible were. At least now, it seems that the soldiers of the Ursus Empire have tried their best to face the offensive and isolation led by heroes like Napoleon. With no support, and even when they were still divided internally, they still chose to defend the last dignity and strength of Ursus. They have already given everything they have.

And Ivan the Terrible is still unable to recognize it until now, so in the entire Ursus Empire, only he can make Ivan the Terrible who has been watching all this recognized.

Under the watchful eyes of all the soldiers, Anastasia walked towards the city gate. Along the way, many soldiers couldn't help getting up when they saw Anastasia, even if they were injured, Even disabled, they tried their best to stand up.

But at this moment, after Anastasia stepped out of the range of the city gate of Ursas's capital step by step, when facing the attack of the allied forces that sounded the horn of charge again and launched another wave of raids , took a deep breath slowly——

"Second Noble Phantasm—Start!"

"[Afterglow, the bloody fortress of disaster]!"

Accompanied by Anastasia's falling, suddenly, everyone felt an extremely strong vibration around them—the city walls surrounded the capital of Ursus!It became a protective barrier, replacing their destroyed gates and broken walls!

"—All soldiers, listen up, make your final resolution, we will live and die together in the capital."

"At this moment, all the residents and common people have already evacuated from the city, and we are the only ones left, who will maintain the last dignity."

Anastasia had already made up her mind. She thought about how Napoleon failed and how he retreated in Tsarist Russia.

This was her last chance, and she was going to give it a go--the last chance to beat Napoleon!

Chapter 311: The Prelude to Napoleon's Failure, The Burning Capital Reappears

"Hmm... It seems that Her Royal Highness is going all out now."

Facing the city walls that rose suddenly in front of them, the first group of allied troops were frustrated and also encountered sudden attacks—there were no soldiers standing on those walls, but there was magic power swaying down in all directions. Attack, no doubt, Napoleon also knew, this is Anastasia's 【Noble Phantasm】.

Wei Na was right about one thing. As the imperial daughter of Tsarist Russia, fighting in this land would bring bonuses.If Emiya and Frost Star were at the scene, they would have found that it was the same [Noble Phantasm], but this time Anastasia's citadel covered a much larger area than the Holy Grail War, almost covering the entire Usa. The capital of Sri Lanka has been transformed into a fortress, and under the cover of this fortress, there are probably very few existences that can break through the defense of this fortress.

"Our army's offensive has been frustrated." Wei Na also observed the situation in the distance with the drone equipment leading to the remote surveillance, and said with a grim expression:

"This Noble Phantasm hinders our steps...Napoleon, can you use this Noble Phantasm to break down this fortress?"

"... Difficult." After repeated scrutiny, it was the first time that Napoleon felt unconfident about the power of his Noble Phantasm. Facing Wei Na's shocked eyes, he was serious. He said: "The power of this fortress... If you want to forcibly break through from the front, you need a treasure that is extremely powerful in destructive power. Too difficult."

"Unless there is a second Noble Phantasm whose power is almost equal to my Noble Phantasm, it is unrealistic to break through the current defense of this fortress. This is her country after all, and the power of releasing the Noble Phantasm here is even more unpredictable. gone."

"...Aren't Moriarty and the Cave King okay?" Wei Na couldn't help asking, but she knew very well that the Gauls under Napoleon's hands were not just the two superficial heroic spirits, but also a deeper hidden Moriarty. Riati is also a Heroic Spirit.

It's just that Wei Na didn't know what job Moriarty was in charge of until now. Napoleon told her that she was in charge of intelligence work, but Wei Na felt that it was more than that—a man who carried a huge coffin board all day long. How can the old man who moves east and west be a pure heroic spirit of the intelligence department?

Even that gentle-looking Cave King can kill people from time to time!No matter how you look at it, that old man doesn't look like such a simple character!

"Hmm... No, the Noble Phantasms of Dantès and Professor Moriarty are not heroic spirits whose strength is destructive power..."

Napoleon was also lost in thought for a while, looking at the city wall that completely hindered the advance of the army at this moment, he fell into thought.

Things in front of him were beyond Napoleon's expectations, and the best option now is to retreat temporarily.The Ursus Empire cannot be supported by Anastasia alone. If you are prepared for long-term consumption, it is only a matter of time before the Ursus Empire is dragged to death.

But what made Napoleon uneasy was Teresis on the Eastern Front. This old boy said one thing and did another. Now he occupies a favorable position on the Eastern Front, but he is determined not to advance.

Napoleon had already heard that the Yan Kingdom was interfering in it, causing Kazdel's army to temporarily give up and continue to advance.Napoleon was helpless when he got the news. After all, even he had heard about that mysterious eastern country...it was an extremely powerful country.

And now Teresis is obviously planning to sit back and watch the tigers fight. If Napoleon and the others are in a disadvantageous trend, Teresis, who has been on the Eastern Front, is likely to retreat under the pressure of the Yan Kingdom. At that time, the war in the east was once again under the control of Ursus, and Napoleon and the others were afraid that they would repeat the same mistakes they had made in Tsarist Russia.

Can't, can't wait any longer, the biggest chance to conquer this land is here!Napoleon is also ready to fight!

"—But this treasure can be cracked! As long as the caster is defeated, the treasure will naturally be resolved!"

"The only ones who have the ability to enter the city are me and Dantès... Wei Na, now you command the allied forces and wait for the signal from me and Dantès!"

"It's very dangerous." Wei Na was slightly startled when she heard the words, and then said to Napoleon, "There are all members of the Ursus Legion here. Although there are not one out of ten of them, there are still ten thousand people."

"Hmph... It doesn't matter, our enemy is only Her Royal Highness Anastasia." Napoleon didn't take it seriously on the surface, but he was also very aware of the danger behind it. He had a hunch that there was something weird in this land, staring at them.

Napoleon didn't know how to describe this feeling, but since he stepped into this land, this feeling of uneasiness has been lingering in his mind - he thought it was because of his previous failures. Shadow, so he is very cautious in every step. While pursuing efficiency, he also makes every detail that can be thought of in every step perfect.

But now, once again standing in front of the capital of Tsarist Russia in this era, victory is close at hand, and the possibility of failure that can be avoided has already been thought of, but Napoleon feels more and more uneasy in his heart.

"—But now, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired!"

"Weina, wait for our signal and let the soldiers surround the city. If you find any signs of pouring oil and setting fire outside the city, please notify us immediately, and we will retreat immediately!"

"You mean, Ursas will set fire to his own capital?" Wei Na was also taken aback by Napoleon's conjecture, and felt a little unbelievable.

"Ah, I used to think the same thing as you, but they can do it..."

Napoleon's voice fell slowly, and finally, he suppressed all the uneasiness in his heart, and jumped down from the city wall...

And Wei Na also watched Napoleon's falling figure. After a long time, the strong uneasiness in her heart made her want to stop Napoleon several times, but finally ordered:

"All troops, surround the capital of the Ursas - if you find any suspicious persons who show signs of setting fire, report immediately!"

Napoleon... please return in triumph... just like before... At this moment, Wei Na is also prepared for the worst possibility - what Ursas has beyond their imagination The super weapon is still hidden...

……

Accompanied by a burst of lightning-like flow, the Cave King led Napoleon's body to the inside of the fortress—although Anastasia's treasure protected the outside fortress, the inside of the capital But it was still the same as before, riddled with holes.

"I'll stay at the top to inspect the situation. Your Majesty Napoleon, please go down by yourself." The Cave King said the same thing. Napoleon didn't say anything, and soon jumped off the city wall.

And not long after Napoleon fell from the city wall, the state of the Ursus soldiers who surrounded them one by one, obviously much better, also showed the strength of the treasure Anastasia. power.

"Can it boost morale and heal the wounds of soldiers? What a natural strategic treasure!"

"Your Highness, although it may be strange for me to say this, you are delaying. You should not stay in the Russian palace like a boudoir. You should have achieved higher achievements."

"...Thank you for the praise of Napoleon the Great, but it's a pity that in our era, it was too difficult for women to have a bright future, let alone those of us who were political victims from the beginning."

And in the encirclement circle of Ursus soldiers, Anastasia's figure slowly emerged, only to see that Her Royal Highness looked at Napoleon in front of her lightly, and said word by word:

"But now that you have stepped into my domain, it is like stepping into death."
