Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 359: Penthesilea, King of the Amazons
"Astolfo is right. Let's get going as soon as possible."

After thinking carefully for a while, Li Ye came to a conclusion after discussing with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

First follow Astolfo's advice and explore the town ahead, the seaside town can be visited later.

After confirming the target of the action, the few people did not stay where they were, but galloped towards the town that Astolfo observed.

With the arrival of the armored cavalry Alter, the speed of Chaldea's group's movement was greatly improved.

As for the shortage of seats caused by Fergus' joining, it was also solved under Astolfo's suggestion.

Forced to squeeze between two "beautiful girls" of unknown gender, even the young Fergus couldn't help showing embarrassment.

The boy's embarrassment did not attract anyone's attention. As Astolfo shouted excitedly, a simple camp gradually appeared in front of everyone.

"Don't worry about them, just rush over—"

Being so close, Li Ye instantly grasped the magical reaction of the camp and confirmed that there were no servant-level units, but more well-trained soldiers.

Judging from the way those soldiers are dressed, are they Amazons?
"Matthew!"

Although he had already remembered the relevant information in his mind, Li Ye still asked: "What do you say?"

"It's a camp similar to an outpost. Chaldea has not detected a high level of magic power response."

Mashu spoke almost at the same time, responding to Li Ye's question.

Fujimaru Ritsuka behind Li Ye also received the information from the two. After thinking for a while, he said: "Make contact. If you can't communicate, defeat them first!"

If it is a place like an outpost, then what exists in the small town behind this base?
Ritsuka Fujimaru wants to get information about the town from the camp.

"Then let's go!"

After confirming that there was no danger in the camp, Li Ye took decisive action the moment he approached the camp!
The chains in the sky were like dancing dragons, destroying all the resistance of the Amazon warriors, binding them tightly and cutting off their ability to resist!
It is essentially a chain made by projection magic, a counterfeit of the Heavenly Chain made by Li Ye. However, due to the nature of his magic power, the Heavenly Chain, which should have been fragile, has become very tough.

Of course, facing powerful servants, this toughness is useless, but facing these Amazon warriors it is just enough!
"You have great power, as expected of a warrior."

He immediately noticed that these Amazon warriors were trying to break free of their chains, and the strength they displayed accelerated the progress.

This made Li Ye marvel at the power of the Amazon warriors.

"This gentleman appears to be a mature warrior—"

The young Fergus watched Li Ye resolve a battle with great decisiveness, and almost subconsciously exclaimed: "What a skilled technique."

Although Li Ye did not show any martial arts such as sword skills in front of him, judging from the process of how the Heavenly Lock resolved the battle, no action was redundant. This was a skilled skill that could only be honed through long and high-pressure battles.

"Right! This guy isn't much worse than Saber and Lancer!"

Astolfo laughed excitedly and said, "Ah, aah!"

As the Amazon soldiers were tied up, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others conducted corresponding inquiries, but in the end they got nothing out of them.

but--

"We haven't seen any farms or other buildings along the way. They should be hunting for a living. The demon pigs we met earlier should have escaped from their hunting."

Dion, whose primary mission was intelligence work, used his high analytical ability to deduce some intelligence from the traces of the outpost camp.

"The hunting spoils should have been transported to another place. Judging from the traces left by the truck on the ground, it happened to be the town we were heading to."

After Dion confirmed the existence of material transportation between the outpost and the town, Li Ye and others continued to move towards the town.

In just ten minutes, the people riding the armored cavalry Alter entered the medieval town.

The appearance of the town is secondary. The moment he stepped into the town, Li Ye noticed the reactions of several servants.

One of them was riding in——

In front of!
Li Ye and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had already gotten out of the car, were walking on the streets of the town and saw the attacking Amazon soldiers from afar!
They were the same soldiers that Li Ye and the others had met at the outpost camp.

The attacking soldiers did not attract Li Ye's attention. He dealt with them in the same way as before and then tied up several Amazon soldiers and threw them to the ground.

What Li Ye cares about is——

"Be careful, a Servant is approaching!"

Mashu's warning voice followed.

Tread.

The white-haired warrior held a meteor hammer in his hand and swept across the tidy scene and the bound soldiers, saying, "What's going on at this chaotic scene?"

Although their movements were restricted, their speech was not restricted. One of the Amazon soldiers exclaimed: "Queen! This is--"

"No need to explain, I'm not stupid."

The white-haired woman called the Queen looked calm and said, "It's obvious at a glance. It seems that someone is trying to tarnish our bravery and dignity again, right?"

As she spoke, the person known as the Queen swept her gaze over Fujimaru Ritsuka, Astolfo and others, and finally landed on Li Ye, saying, "Who is that man over there?"

Looking directly at the queen, Li Ye looked calm, without any extra emotion, and said, "Li Ye, Knight of the Round Table, Li Ye."

"Oh? You are obedient, thief. Let me ask you, who are you, whose army do you belong to, and where are you from?"

The woman called the Queen displayed the majesty of a king. Her questioning words carried boundless power as she asked, "Is it the decadent Water City, the dazzling Dust City, or the companions of the group of wild dogs that have been particularly noisy recently?"

"Neither. You talk too much, Penthesilea."

Li Ye put his hands in his pockets and raised the corner of his mouth. With a hint of amusement, he said: "Or should I call you Queen?"

The moment he saw her, Li Ye knew her real name - Penthesilea.

Penthesilea was the queen of the Amazons in Greek mythology. She was said to be the daughter of Ares and had several sisters, including Hippolyta, whose belt was taken away by Hercules.

After Hector's death, the Amazon army led by Penthesilea joined the Trojan side to fight against the Achaean army.

Queen Penthesilea dueled with the enemy warrior Achilles, and the result was the last and greatest humiliation of her life.

Because of her defeat to Achilles, Penthesilea's greatest obsession throughout her life was to kill Achilles.

"The Queen is asking you a question. Who allowed you to address her by her name? Don't change the subject!!"

Not only was her real name revealed, but Penthesilea was even more furious because Li Ye chose not to answer her questions directly. Even Astolfo and others were surprised by her anger.

"Wow, you suddenly got angry!"

Astolfo subconsciously shrank his neck with a surprised look on his face. Dion beside him also sighed: "I always feel that she is too young to be a queen, but if it were Penthesilea, then it would be normal behavior."

The king of the Amazons, his bravery is world-famous.

"This is the Queen. Even I, a half-baked person, can sense her grace and majesty that are completely different from her appearance." Fergus said with emotion.

"It doesn't match my appearance, so it's only natural that I show up like this."

Penthesilea said this without thinking there was anything wrong with it, as if the previous anger had not come from her.

Li Ye, who was watching this scene, also felt that it was natural.

The battle with Achilles was the heyday of Penthesilea, and it can be said that she was "completed as the embodiment of beauty."

Likewise, at the end of the battle, Achilles may not have realized that he whispered the words "how beautiful".

this is normal.

Even in her lifetime, Penthesilea could perhaps be said to possess the Golden Rule (Beauty): A woman.

No matter what kind of environment you grow up in, you are destined to have the perfect beauty of a goddess.

During the Trojan War, Penthesilea undoubtedly possessed a beauty comparable to that of a goddess.

That's why Achilles took off her helmet -

But in Penthesilea's view, she was fighting as a warrior. If she did not regard the other party as a "woman" but ended a life-and-death battle with a real warrior, the brave man should have breathed a sigh of relief when looking at the enemy, and should have felt that "he was finally defeated", "fortunately he does not have to die", and "never stand up again".

However, Achilles said those words, which naturally unconsciously trampled on the dignity and bravery that Penthesilea held.

This also caused Penthesilea to subconsciously refuse to appear in the world in her later form as "the embodiment of beauty".

Since that appearance was the reason why I suffered the greatest humiliation, I feel that [the age of having that kind of beauty is not the prime of life].

When she had a good grasp of Penthesilea's origins, she spoke up and said, "That's all. No matter who you work for, you can't change what I am about to give you.

The shame you have brought upon us must be settled, the previous humiliation must be avenged, it must, must, must!
You are rude people, lucky people, but at the same time you are rare and unlucky people!

Rejoice! How lucky you are to have me personally teach you this truth!
Go to hell, and let the underworld praise our bravery!"

Following Penthesilea's announcement, the regrouped Amazon soldiers attacked Li Ye and others!
"Leave the other soldiers to you. I will take care of Penthesilea."

Zheng.

As the holy sword was unsheathed, Li Ye, holding the holy sword, walked towards Penthesilea alone.

"Mashu, there's nothing wrong, right?"

Tread.

As the distance got closer, Li Ye also confirmed the situation of Penthesilea with Mashu of Chaldea.

Although Li Ye can see through his real name, more specific information can only be observed by Chaldea.

"Yes, Penthesilea is a Servant who manifested as a Berserker. Although she seems to have retained her sanity, but—"

After several confirmations, Mashu also confirmed this result.

Out of hatred and obsession for Achilles, she abandoned her heyday in every sense of the word and appeared in the world as a young girl.

This could also be called Berserker.

If Penthesilea appeared in her prime, she would probably appear as Lancer, Archer, or Rider.

"She also has Berserker's enhancements."

With a smile on his face, Li Ye looked at Penthesilea, the king of the Amazon not far away. The attribute correction given to the servant by the Berserker job was the highest level.

With that enhancement, even Vlad III could fight against servants like Karna.

Needless to say, Penthesilea is the king of the Amazons in Greek mythology and even has the bloodline of the god of war Ares.

"Just you?"

Penthesilea looked gloomy and seemed to think that Liye was trampling on the dignity of the Amazon by facing her alone.

“Of course, I am not as talented as the brave warriors in his lifetime, but at least I have fought with Achilles in the form of a follower—”

Before Li Ye finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind coming.

“Die die die die!!!”

Penthesilea, whose rationality evaporated in an instant, swung the hammer in her hand and attacked Li Ye with an extremely wild attitude.

Although Penthesilea, who is in EX-level frenzy, can communicate normally at ordinary times, her rationality disappears when facing Achilles.

Rationality also disappears to a certain extent when faced with the abominable Greek heroes.

When being evaluated for beauty, one may also lose rationality due to psychological trauma.

And Li Ye appropriately exploded the biggest landmine.

In response to this, Li Ye, who originally wanted to make Penthesilea fight with all her strength, grinned, stopped suddenly and rushed out, his speed even far exceeding Penthesilea!

But in a flash, Li Ye disappeared from Penthesilea's sight!
But Penthesilea, who had fought against Achilles, the fastest man, had never lost her fighting instinct even though her sanity had evaporated!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Penthesilea swung the meteor hammer and swung it behind her!

stab.

The pitch-black holy sword and meteor hammer intersected, making a sharp crackling sound, and bursts of sparks blew the atmosphere.

The torn atmosphere lifted the earth in its wild dance.

Just the swing of the meteor hammer created astonishing wind pressure, like a storm, and it actually lifted the ground up!
Not only that, the wind pressure was so strong that it would kill an ordinary person if they were hit by it, or injure them if they were touched by it.

But this did not affect Li Ye's actions. The holy sword he handed over curbed the approach of the meteor hammer to the greatest extent.

He took on all the huge force coming from the meteor hammer!

wow-

The flipped holy sword pierced through the chains and before Penthesilea turned around completely, it pinned her weapon, the meteor hammer, into the ground!

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the holy sword stopped the meteor hammer, Li Ye decisively closed the distance between him and Penthesilea.

At this time, Penthesilea just turned around, and when she saw Li Ye, she decisively let go of the meteor hammer and used her most primitive hands as weapons to attack Li Ye.

But Li Ye, who was faster, held his arms and pressed down hard!
A tremendous force beyond human intelligence came crashing down, starting with Penthesilea and Liye. Horrifying cracks radiated in all directions, even causing the buildings to collapse!

Even though Leonardo da Vinci had forbidden it, in terms of pure strength, Li Ye would not lose to Penthesilea at this time. After releasing his magic power, he was crushed to the ground with a cliff-like advantage!
