I'm starting a mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 114: Saint Lady Crisis

"She's not dead."

"I saw it. Her life or death was not part of the plan. That's your business."

Alexander is not shirking responsibility, but it is not his responsibility in the first place. Dealing with the Saints is of course the job of the Hades Saints.

What does it have to do with me, the commander of the vassal army?
In the drone footage, Joan of Arc was shining brightly. In the huge explosion that used the entire first line of defense as bait, she released a crystal wall to protect part of the army that followed her.

For her who possesses the Ophiuchus Cloth, as long as her subordinates don’t die on the spot, they will definitely not die!

Alexander's explosives were buried against mortal armies and were scattered around, mainly containing large amounts of lethal shrapnel to kill people.

The explosion seemed to be massive and devastating, but its lethality was seriously insufficient for a Saint like Joan of Arc because it was too scattered and not concentrated enough.

If these 800,000 tons of explosives were all buried under Joan of Arc's feet, then no harm would be caused. My Lord is so shameless here (罒ω罒)!
Therefore, Alexander's decision not to take Joan of Arc as the main target was correct. If he couldn't defeat the enemy, all the firepower would be wasted. It would be better to use it to bomb the vassal army. At least he could kill people!
"Is everyone okay? Is anyone hurt?"

"No, Your Highness, we seem to have fallen into a trap."

Chief of Staff Colonel Ney looked around and made sure that no one protected by Joan of Arc's crystal wall was harmed, not even a speck of dust was on them.

This is all thanks to the strength of the crystal wall. It has two properties, absorption and rebound. The lethal shrapnel and shock waves produced by the explosion are rebounded after hitting the crystal wall.

Thanks to the fact that this was a dispersed explosion, the shock wave did not exceed the upper limit of the crystal wall's tolerance. In the continuous rebound, all the shock waves and shrapnel offset each other. The smoke outside did not affect the calm inside at all.

There were corpses everywhere outside, and there was not a single intact body to be found. Without the protection of the crystal wall, it would have been impossible for the people from other teams to survive such an explosion.

Even if they were lucky enough not to be hit by the shrapnel, the back and forth shock waves could shatter their internal organs. This was not something that could be avoided by just lying in the trenches. Moreover, the trenches were where the explosives were buried, so hiding in them would lead to death faster.

"Lady Saint, should we continue to advance or retreat now?"

Chief of Staff Colonel Ney was unwilling to retreat like this. He wanted to make a charge. Retreating now would mean failure, but what if he made a charge and ended up reaching the enemy headquarters?
Isn't this a sure win? You can take a gamble!

However, whether to retreat or charge still depends on Joan of Arc's decision. As the chief of staff, he can only make his own suggestions and cannot go beyond his own will.

Logically speaking, when other teams were wiped out, their team should have retreated first. With only a hundred or so people, it was impossible for them to achieve the established tactical goals.

But they are not an ordinary team, they are the Royal Guards!
As Joan of Arc's personal guards, they are all carefully selected reserve Saints, especially Colonel Ney, who is the captain of the personal guard and also the chief of staff. As a person who has never experienced the Holy Fire, he has already touched the threshold of opening the microcosm in a short period of time. His talent is also first-class.

He lived up to the nickname of "the warrior among warriors" given to him by his ancestor. He always led the charge in every battle and ranked first in the army in terms of the number of enemies killed. He even had three reserve Hades warriors with their heads twisted off by him. He was an absolute warrior who would break through the enemy lines!
Joan of Arc, who fell to the ground on Pegasus, looked at the second line of defense in the distance. She felt a familiar gaze. It was that Tokugawa boy.

A true Hades warrior arrived at the front line. Looking at the ruins around him, Jeanne ordered, "Ney, you lead the people to retreat. I will cover your retreat."

Joan of Arc was certain that Tokugawa Yaji was here to deal with her. When the two sides were fighting, she had no way of caring about her subordinates and had to let them retreat first!

"My lord, I have no objection to retreating, but I refuse to let you be the last one to leave!"

"That's right, we should be the ones to cover the rear!"

……

The Guards' voices of opposition were heard one after another. I wonder if they thought Joan of Arc had done something that angered God and the people, which caused the Guards to riot and send her to the stake.

Joan of Arc wanted to protect them, but the Royal Guards would not appreciate it. They were the Royal Guards, not a tour group!

Retreat when encountering danger and let Joan of Arc cover the rear. Who is protecting whom?

It can be seen from the fact that the captain of the personal guard is Colonel Ney, a brave warrior who charges and fights fiercely, that the selection criterion for this personal guard is fierceness!
Dare to charge, fight, fight and kill is the only standard!
It is true that Joan of Arc was condemned by God and man for letting such a group of brave men who charged into battle abandon their main general to cover their retreat.

Everyone was against it, but Joan of Arc was no pushover. She had fought her way out of the Hundred Years' War and had her own authority as a leader.

Just as she was about to force them to retreat, a beam of light burst out from the dust and pointed directly at Joan of Arc.

"Crystal Wall."

"Enemy attack! It's the Hades Warriors!"

Tokugawa has arrived, it is too late to retreat now.

The crystal wall blocked the Sun Fist. A whistling sound came from the sky. It was the supporting artillery. Now there was only Joan of Arc's small group of troops left on the entire battlefield. The artillery regiment was gathering all its strength to attack them.

Dense shells hit their heads like raindrops. Under such high-density bombardment, the existence time of Joan of Arc's crystal wall could only be counted in seconds.

"Well, it's too late to retreat, Ney!"

Jeanne yelled and ordered, "Go attack the artillery position, I will deal with Tokugawa."

"Yes, sir!"

With just one glance, Colonel Ney, who specialized in artillery, calculated the position of the artillery position, drew his saber and shouted, "Artillery position, 28 kilometers to the right, charge!"

"Charge! Charge, charge, charge!" Ney and his guards sped away. Twenty-eight kilometers, ordinary troops might not be able to make it, but for them, who were all Saint Seiya reserve, a continuous charge of twenty-eight kilometers was just an appetizer.

Massacre the artillery positions within half an hour and let the Hades warriors open their eyes!

"What a group of good soldiers, it's a pity that they are going to die."

The breath blew away the dust, and the arrival of Tokugawa boy stopped the artillery position from covering fire. If Tokugawa boy was hit, those artillerymen would not have to wait for the guards to arrive, and the Hades warriors would have to kill them all.

I sneered at the announcement of Tokugawa's death. Can you beat me? Just brag here, aren't you afraid of blowing yourself to death?
"My subordinates may not die, but you came here alone to face me today. I think you are here to die."

"Let me take you to heaven! Pegasus Meteor Spear!"

Joan of Arc's spear shot out like a dragon, and the dazzling light covered the Tokugawa boy like a rainstorm.

"It's even more powerful, Jeanne!"

Tokugawa was not panicking at all. She came prepared today and victory would be the only way to hold Joan of Arc back.

The corona storm suddenly erupted, shattering and intercepting all the brilliant meteors. The Shiranui sword was unsheathed, and a fire phoenix soared into the sky, rushing straight towards Jeanne's face.

Like Joan of Arc, Tokugawa Yaji's strength has improved greatly compared to the last time they fought, both in terms of the speed of his attacks and the power of his moves.

The fire phoenix with a wingspan of one kilometer crashed into the crystal wall. This was a move that Joan of Arc particularly liked to use, although it was not a move of her golden armor.

But when he can't use his own gold armor, the crystal wall that is both offensive and defensive is indeed the most useful move.

"burst!"

Tokugawa Yazi shouted, and the fire phoenix that hit the crystal wall suddenly shrank into a ball.

"Oops!"

The crystal wall shattered instantly. The power of this move exceeded its endurance limit. Fierce flames swept over Jeanne d'Arc. Pegasus' wings were burnt and she fell from the sky.

"How about it, do you like this move Nirvana? Hahaha..."

This move was developed by Tokugawa Yaji specifically for breaking the crystal wall. Although it consumes a lot of energy, it is effective.

The Ophiuchus Cloth began to treat Pegasus at its maximum power and cured Pegasus before it was about to fall to the ground. Pegasus took off again, but Joan of Arc, who was thrown off when Pegasus fell, fell heavily to the ground.

Ophiuchus used all of his healing abilities to treat Pegasus remotely. Joan of Arc didn't even get her own burns treated, and when she free fell to the ground, she broke at least a few ribs.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Tokugawa Yazi was well aware of this. Now that Joan of Arc was injured, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she rushed forward immediately. Long-range attacks might be disrupted, so it would be safest to chop off Joan of Arc's head with her own hands.

The Straight Blue Eyes Sandan Thrust was once the unique skill of a famous swordsman in the late Edo period, and very few people could dodge it.

Although Joan of Arc was injured, she still blocked the first thrust, and the second thrust grazed her neck and was blocked by her. The holy cloth was already healing her body at the fastest speed, but Tokugawa Yaji's attack was even faster!
The third thrust was not aimed at the neck, but at the shoulder, the gap in the armor.

Joan of Arc, who was tricked, failed to dodge this move, and the Shiranui pierced her shoulder through the gap. The flames burst out, and Joan of Arc's flesh and blood sizzled instantly, and a smell of barbecue came out.

The holy cloth tried its best to heal the flesh and blood burned by the Shiranui, and Jeanne's hand also grasped the blade to prevent Tokugawa from chopping off her hand completely.

Tokugawa tried to move the blade slightly, but couldn't move it because Joan of Arc was stronger than her.

There is no need to try too much. If you can't pull it out, you can't pull it out. It doesn't affect the battle!

The light gathered, and the solar flares gathered in his hands. Tokugawa held the ball of hot light and was about to stuff it into Joan of Arc's hand.

"At such a close distance, you will get hurt too!"

Joan of Arc put down the scepter and grabbed Tokugawa's hand. She had already witnessed the power of the solar flare in the last battle. As long as Tokugawa could not escape the explosion range, she didn't believe that he would dare to detonate it.

Pegasus was circling in the air, looking for an opportunity to give Tokugawa a hard blow. Now Tokugawa's hands were restrained by Jeanne, so this was a good opportunity!

Dive down, Pegasus steps on swallows!
If you get stepped on by Pegasus, the worst-case scenario is that your brain will burst. Don't take Pegasus as a threat.

Tokugawa came prepared this time, and she had naturally calculated Tenma's fighting power. She didn't need to hide at all because she also brought helpers this time.

The flame on the blade became more intense, and a figure emerged from the flame. The figure used a move called Fire Phoenix to kill Tianma, forcing him to flee in panic, not daring to get close.

"Boy, this is the Saint, she's not as strong as you say!"

"Shiranui, stop talking nonsense and chop off her head!"

Of course, the only one who walked out of the demon sword Shiranui was herself. Shiranui condensed a flaming long sword and slashed at Jeanne d'Arc.
