Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 289: The King's Army (Ionioi Hetairoi)

That's the story from earlier...

"Saber and Rider began to surround and attack Liye——"

On top of an abandoned high-rise building, Hisau Maiya, who was always observing the battlefield with a sniper rifle, informed Emiya Kiritsugu of the battlefield intelligence through the walkie-talkie.

After reaching an agreement with Master Rider, Hisau Maiya quickly moved to the battlefield opened by Liye's attack on Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago and others in the Hyatt Hotel, and kept an eye on the progress of the battle.

After receiving the information that Li Ye had already started fighting, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was far below Ryuudou Temple, looked up at Ryuudou Temple in the distance.

Judging from the situation, Li Ye did not bring Caster Merlin with him, so Merlin was most likely stationed at the base.

But according to the information provided by Saber, Merlin is a magician. Although he only specializes in illusion, he has extremely high attainments in swordsmanship.

Even Artoria's swordsmanship was taught by Merlin.

Therefore, Kiritsugu Emiya could not ignore Merlin's individual combat ability, and forcibly broke into Ryudo Temple and took Irisviel away.

The thought of a single player fighting a heroic spirit is outrageous.

It's not just Merlin's own strength, but more importantly the base.

As magicians, it is impossible for Li Ye and Merlin to have no defensive measures at all for their base.

The combination of these two factors made it difficult for Emiya Kiritsugu to act even if a great opportunity was right in front of him.

As the only fighting force, Saber also joined forces with Rider to contain and defeat Liye, which made it impossible for Kiritsugu Emiya to take the next step.

'Wait, wait until Merlin appears.'

Emiya Kiritsugu, holding a cigarette in his mouth, had a deep look in his eyes. Even if it was Li Ye, facing so many Servants, he would be overwhelmed, right?

As long as Merlin appears on the battlefield, then it will be his chance.

at the same time--

Near Hyatt Hotel.

A strong wind blew up, but this time it was not the phenomenon caused by the release of the Wind King's barrier, but the astonishing phenomenon caused by the launch of countless Holy Judgments.

The sky became dim as a result, and the dusk in Fuyuki City seemed to have ushered in a starry night ahead of time.

Even when facing four servants, and even two martial artists from the divine realm, Li Ye did not show the slightest panic. He saw that the four of them had an amazing tacit understanding. Whether it was forced or voluntary, they all had the same goal.

Defeat him!
But if you want to defeat him with just four servants, you're still a little far from it!

Boom, boom! ! !

As the Holy Judgment blossomed, Altria and the others were forced to defend. No one could ignore the power of the Holy Judgment and block Li Ye's way forward.

The Gate of Holy Judgment that Li Ye opened was not limited to behind himself, but surrounded Altria and others without blind spots, or in other words, covered the entire battlefield.

Even though Artoria and the others were not afraid of several Holy Judgments, and were extremely calm even when attacked from the front, attacks from behind forced them to concentrate on fighting.

Even the extremely agile Diarmuid Odinah could not quickly escape from the coverage of the Holy Judgment.

It goes without saying that Iskandar, who was carrying Waver Velvet, decisively activated the [Gordias Wheel] at the moment the Holy Judgment was launched, unleashing an extremely dazzling divine thunder.

The dazzling lightning covered the chariot, and with the roar of the divine bull, it blocked all the incoming Holy Judgment!
As a Berserker, Lancelot displayed his amazing martial arts. Even the Holy Inquisition's attacks from all angles were mostly blocked, and only a few could attack him!
But it was also this series of events that caused Altria and others to lose the last chance to stop Li Ye. Li Ye, who was already extremely fast, once again stepped into the one-meter range around Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud.

As the monarch, Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud could only watch as Li Ye reached out to his own magic costume again.

At this moment, [Volumen Hydrargyrum] could not even be activated.

In other words, it is still a question whether Kenneth actually reacted to Li Ye's approach.

This happened in a flash, so fast that even a reflex arc couldn't work.

But only one thing - Little Red Riding Hood's eyes were fixed on Li Ye's approaching big hand.

There were waves of emotions in those empty eyes. Little Red Riding Hood, who was only half a day old, should not have a high level of intelligence. She was only acting under Kenneth's guidance.

As Li Ye approached, her undisguised possessiveness seemed to trigger Little Red Riding Hood's own automatic defense device, or corresponding measures.

Even though Little Red Riding Hood possesses infinite magic power, she does not have the ability to use it. Today, Little Red Riding Hood shares the same view as Kenneth. Little Red Riding Hood is nothing more than a magic costume similar to a humanoid life form.

Nevertheless, although Little Red Riding Hood, who was born because of Kenneth, did not accept the act of [making a wish], some traces of Kenneth were left on her inside.

That was a deep impression of Li Ye—an extremely dangerous existence.

It was an almost instinctive resistance, and a surging magical light bloomed in front of Li Ye, trying to stop Li Ye's big hand from moving forward.

Ding.

Accompanied by a clear sound, the magic power that was killed suddenly dissipated, revealing Little Red Riding Hood's defenseless body in front of Li Ye.

'It's almost there!'

Just when Li Ye was about to touch Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood, which was originally the size of an adult, turned into a body of light at a speed that surpassed Li Ye.

[Confirming that it is unable to protect itself, splitting a second time]

The order issued by Kenneth took effect at this moment. As early as when Li Ye was dragged by Altria, Kenneth, who had confirmed Li Ye's purpose, issued a new order in an urgent manner.

If necessary, split itself to preserve the magic power supply.

With the example of Alice, Kenneth also knew that it would be difficult to stop Li Ye in such a battle and prevent him from taking Little Red Riding Hood away.

Even if multiple heroic spirits are fighting Li Ye, Kenneth must be prepared for the second case.

The separated individual was the result of Kenneth's half-day test on Little Red Riding Hood.

Although Little Red Riding Hood could not regress to her original Magic Furnace state after transforming from the Three-Base Magic Furnace into a living being, Kenneth discovered that she could split into individuals within a certain limit.

Although it will not revert back to the state of the magic suit, the performance of Little Red Riding Hood itself will be reduced after the split, and the change in magic power supply is not very obvious.

However, the potential effect of the desire amplification disappeared, as if some very important ability had been shut down.

Kenneth did not have enough time to continue checking this as he received a visit from Li Ye.

Little Red Riding Hood also obeyed this instruction faithfully. The dazzling light body was the real form of Little Red Riding Hood after the six stone slabs were combined. This light body actually split into two mini Little Red Riding Hoods in front of Li Ye!
Shrink, split.

The two steps completed at the same time also represented the splitting of the [Holy Grail], and the increase in Li Ye's desire that was enough to affect him also disappeared.

Appearing in front of Li Ye were two identical super kids who were no more than ten years old.

She looks just a little older than the Tousaka sisters.

"Split up on your own initiative?"

Li Ye, who was unable to catch Little Red Riding Hood before she split, could only catch one of them.

The shout that followed was the king’s declaration and the glory of the king who conquered the world!

"Gather once more. Warriors who share the same aspiration for the end! The wheel tracks carved here are our honor!

The King's Army (Ionioi Hetairoi)!"

In order to minimize the damage caused by the battle, the King of Conquerors finally activated his strongest trump card, which was also the symbol of his glory.

No chanting is needed to perform great magic!

The brilliant light that burst out covered all the servants and Li Ye on the field.

When the light in front of their eyes faded, what came into the eyes of Li Ye and others was an endless world of yellow sand. There was no other scenery. It was the purest place of life.

"An inherent barrier?"

Holding Little Red Riding Hood, Li Ye looked around at the desolate desert, as if he had come to Osmandis's territory again.

But Li Ye knew very well what kind of existence this was.

The highest realm of magic, the great magic listed as taboo by the Magic Association, is the magic closest to [magic] - the Reality Marble.

【Reality Marble】 is a magic that materializes the scenery in one's mind.

Once activated, the surrounding space will change into a completely different landscape.

The materialization of the mental landscape, that is to say, the inherent barrier replaces oneself and the world without changing the state.

At this time, the size of [oneself] and [the world] will be replaced, and the world will be completely enclosed in a small container. This small world is the world egg, and it also becomes the name of the theory.

Similarly, the inherent barrier is a subtype of [Fantasy Manifestation], a barrier that shapes the caster's mental world and erodes the real world.

However, unlike [Fantasy Manifestation], the form of [Inherent Barrier] cannot be freely determined.

Because it is formed by the caster's unique inner mind, the caster cannot control the formation of the barrier, but the inherent barrier can also affect non-natural things, which is superior to [Fantasy Materialization].

Solomon\Goetia's second treasure, [The Time Has Come to Wear the Crown, and Inspire All Things (Ars Paulina)], is also an inherent barrier, but it is a barrier made with Solomon's remains and is located in an imaginary space that is isolated from the normal flow of time.

The inherent barrier where Li Ye is located is a symbol of the glory of the conqueror king Iskandar's life.

All you can see is desert. There is no shelter of any kind. There is only the extremely scorching sun that burns all living things, and rolling hot sands that dance wildly.

A plain that is like a dead end of life.

Because that was the land that Alexander's army had galloped across, it was imprinted in the minds of all the soldiers and made it possible for the barrier to unfold.

The Noble Phantasm of King of Conquerors Iskandar is a unique barrier, and within this barrier — the Guards Corps that pledged loyalty to Iskandar after death and became Heroic Spirits with their monarch can descend into the human world as Servants.

Although the Servants summoned are all without Masters, they all possess the skill of [Solo Action] equivalent to E-rank.

When the personnel are summoned, they form a legion of tens of thousands of people. All the members of the legion are genuine Heroic Spirits, but because they are summoned by Rider's ability, none of them have classes or class-related skills.

Among them there are some heroes who are stronger than Iskandar himself, and some of them are the founders of future dynasties, such as Ptolemy, Seleucus, and Chandragupta.

It can be said that at this moment, Li Ye is facing the absolute king who conquered the Eurasian continent—Alexander the Great and his army that is wrapped in countless glory!
And just as Li Ye understood, Iskandar, who was driving the Gordias Wheel at this time, laughed loudly under the shocked gaze of his master, Waver Velvet, and said: "This is the land where my army once galloped. This is the scenery that will always be in the hearts of the warriors who shared my joys and sorrows!"

Iskandar opened his arms with an expression of great pride, which was all he was proud of in his life: “Look, my unrivaled army!

Even if their bodies are destroyed, their souls will be summoned by the [world] to become heroic spirits, and they will still be loyal to me, the legendary warriors! "

Tap tap tap tap.

The overlapping footsteps are like the loudest roar in the world, the embodiment of the king's way, absolute dominance, and the charm of conquering everything have attracted many heroes to be obsessed with it.

Even if I die, my loyalty will never fade!
From the end of the horizon, from the end of the sky, what appeared in the eyes of Artoria and others was the army of Alexander, the unparalleled army that once conquered the continent.

"My bond with them is my greatest treasure, my kingly way! It is my most powerful treasure, Iskander - [King's Army (Ionioi Hetairoi)]!!!"

In response to the pride of the king, the strongest army consisting of tens of thousands of people let out a roar that was enough to shake the world.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!!!"

The roars of tens of thousands of heroic spirits echo endlessly in this world that was created because of them.

Faced with such a scene, even Artoria and Diarmait Oudina were shocked by the scene before them.

Iskandar's kingly way is truly amazing, fully worthy of his dominance in conquering the world.

Compared to Artoria and Diarmait Oudina, Li Ye, who also faced this unparalleled army, remained calm.

Although I was amazed by this army, that was all.

Even as an enemy, Li Ye would not worry about the attack of this legion at all, and could even be considered relaxed.

It was because neither Waver Velvet nor Iskandar himself possessed the magical power to fully unleash the King's Army (Ionioi Hetairoi).

Even the magic power that Iskander had used so far was provided by himself. Waver's talent as a magician was too weak.

Even the magic power cannot be supplied in sufficient quantity, not only is it impossible to bring out the strength of the powerful Heroic Spirit Iskandar, but it also causes the [King's Army (Ionioi Hetairoi)], which has a huge upper limit, to not be able to exert its due strength.

hum.

Holding Little Red Riding Hood in one hand, Li Ye raised his hand and summoned the Holy Spear Longomyniad. He stared at the Conqueror King in the distance and said with a smile: "Conqueror King, do you know what the result will be if I get the source of magic power?"
