Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

All his soldiers were originally citizens of the gods, and as heroic spirits, their existence consumed magical energy, so their advancement ladder had at least reached a fairly high level in terms of magical energy.

Now, in Iskandar's army, these heroic spirits can perfectly unleash their strength from when they were alive, and with the boost from the advancement ladder, most of them are even stronger than when they were alive!

Then they also have Orichalcos equipment, the kind of martial arts that allows the Empire to freely manipulate the body, and the magic system connected to the pseudo-machine god—and this time when Roland came back, he even used the power of the Herrscher of Reason to update them with a series of Honkai energy equipment!

Iskandar has been itching for a war for ages!

It was at this time that Sieg's expeditionary force arrived!

After Semiramis discovered Iskandar's side, Iskandar's scouts also discovered the enemy.

Then, just as Iskandarmo was getting ready for battle, he heard good news from his messenger.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has already dispatched their vanguard."

"Oh! They seem to be a very enthusiastic group!"

"Hahahaha... What kind of vanguard force is it? Are they trying to lure us out to attack, or are they using some kind of special equipment?"

Iskandar crossed his arms, a smile playing on his lips as he ate.

El-Melloi II, who had long been his follower and was also the queen, focused her attention on him. As a self-proclaimed strategist, she intended to contribute her wisdom.

but...

The messenger looked embarrassed.

"They...they sent out about a hundred men who looked exactly alike, and then it seemed like they were...dancing in front of the battle formation?"

........

187. That's it!?

Um! ?

Iskandar and Weber were momentarily stunned upon hearing this information. Then, wanting to see what was going on, they went together to the high ground at the front line and looked towards the other side.

"this......"

If we go by the original idea, Weber had been wondering before he came up that the so-called dance was some kind of ritual or magic.

After all, a movement, a glance, these things can all be considered part of a chant, a small section of a chant. So it seems quite normal to use dance to perform some magic tricks.

But when he actually saw what was happening on the other side, Webber was dumbfounded!

"What, is this some kind of magic trick?"

When Iskandar heard Waver speak, he asked, but Waver remained silent for a while before shaking his head with a firm look in his eyes.

"No, absolutely not."

"Although it doesn't sound very reasonable, even magic tricks I've never heard of must meet some of the most basic requirements of magic, such as magic power or the basic formulas of magic... But those guys dancing are probably some kind of androids that don't need magic power. They may have methods different from magic, but what they use is definitely not magic."

As a magician, Waver truly didn't understand Honkai energy, but he considered himself to have some discernment when it came to magic.

Iskandar nodded in agreement with Weber's words, without the slightest doubt.

He stared at the dancing men for a while, then summoned a messenger.

"Roland gave us a lot of heavy weapons before, right? I remember there were cannons among them that could bombard the enemy from a very long distance... Hmm, let's set up the cannons and test what the enemy is doing."

"Yes!"

The messenger nodded and then quickly left.

Iskandar, however, turned his gaze from the distance and focused it on Webber.

"I remember that things like magic are usually very precise, very mysterious, and have unpredictable triggering conditions, right? What, you're not going to stop me from testing this in such an exaggerated way?"

Weber laughed when he heard Iskandar say that.

"I first met you during the Fourth Holy Grail War. Back then, I was always trying to stop you, but I never succeeded even once. I was always being led around by you."

At this point, Weber felt a pang of nostalgia, but he quickly rallied his spirits.

"I'm different now."

"After we parted ways, perhaps because I've met more people or because I've lived longer, the loyalty I once had, which would have even been praised by the King of Heroes, has long since changed. So don't think that I'll stay behind alone to spread your story."

Weber looked up and met Iskandar's gaze.

He saw Iskandar smiling, and he, who was usually stern, also put on a similar smile.

"Therefore, whatever adventure you intend to undertake this time, I will not try to dissuade you. I will simply stay by your side, like your other ministers, and never leave you!"

On Sieg's expeditionary force side, Semiramis and Karna were standing together at that moment.

"What is this for? Is it some kind of ritual? Does it really serve any purpose?"

Semiramis couldn't understand what these Siegfried homunculus dancing in front of the army were doing, and Karna didn't understand either, but he didn't say a word.

Within the communication spell, Astolfo's voice rang out.

"Hmm...could it be some kind of feint?"

Upon hearing Astolfo's words, Semiramis raised an eyebrow, but before she could refute him, Vlad III's voice rang out.

"Generally speaking, the purpose of a feint is to use the time while the feint is in effect to do something else. The success of these clandestine actions is the key to the success of the feint."

"But now that we've sent out a feint, have we really done anything?"

Upon hearing Vlad III's words, Astolfo made a troubled sound and fell completely silent. Frankenstein, who could only utter a few simple syllables, also fell silent, and Frankenstein's voice sounded somewhat dejected.

Just then, Zieg's voice appeared.

"Don't worry, it's not a feint. These androids are activating a spell, and the spell has already been successfully activated."

"However, the spells they used were not spells made of magic, but spells made of Honkai energy. That's the key reason why you can't sense them. Similarly, if you can't sense them, they certainly can't sense them either."

Upon hearing Sieg's words, Semiramis pondered for a moment.

"If that's the case, then what spell did you cast?"

"If you don't explain the effects of your technique, it will be difficult for us to deal with the situations that might arise next."

The other Heroic Spirits also agreed with Semiramis's words.

Sieg spoke again after the heroic spirits finished complaining.

"Actually, there won't be any special circumstances... It's just that the army that makes up Einzbern will definitely consist of a large number of androids. The spell that I'm having our androids cast now will take control of other androids. So the androids in the enemy's army will be in complete chaos. You just need to launch an attack when the enemy is in the most chaos."

At this point, Zieg's voice carried a hint of smugness.

"Einzbern may have been thinking of using an army of androids to gain an advantage, but they underestimated me."

"No one understands androids better than me—so their plan is doomed to fail, and we are destined to take..."

Just as Zieg was about to say something inspiring, the communication spell fluctuated violently, causing him to say the word "qu" (取) in "qu sheng" (取胜), but not the word "sheng" (胜).

However, compared to this mere fluctuation, Sieg, the other Heroic Spirits, and even the magicians of the Yggdrasil were more concerned about the source of this disturbance.

The source lies in the location of those Sieg androids.

Just as Zieg delivered his victory declaration, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck, and terrifying light and heat ignited, expanded, and exploded in an instant!

The location where the Siegfried androids were located was subjected to a very intense bombardment, which wiped out all the androids, leaving only a blackened landscape and the stench of burning things!

This situation left Zieg speechless.

Besides the fact that those androids died, the main reason was that Sieg sensed a massive amount of Honkai energy from the attack!

This allowed him, with his understanding of parallel worlds, to instantly recognize that the Einzbern had Honkai energy weapons!

That's the real reason he remained silent.

As he remained silent, Iskandar, Waver, and the heroic spirits of the expeditionary force all stared at the darkness, waiting for a long time without any further reaction.

Therefore, they all came to the same conclusion.

Zig's (opposite) plan has failed!?

....

188. Complete Suppression

"Ahem... Although my plan had a slight problem, the enemy is an army of androids. Against our prepared mixed forces, plus your individual combat strength, we still won't suffer any losses."

Zieg remained silent for a while before saying these words to ease the awkwardness.

However, he didn't mention anything about the Honkai energy weapons.

After all, he didn't know what kind of Honkai energy weapons the other side had. If the other side had something like Honkai fission bombs, Sieg thought it would greatly affect the morale of his side. So he simply kept quiet and let the group try it out first.

That was his intention.

Most of the Heroic Spirits on both the Black and Red sides weren't stupid. Although they didn't know anything about Honkai energy, they could still guess a bit of what Sieg meant.

However, the current situation prevented either of them from revealing the truth.

After all, Sieg's plan failed, but the Greater Grail was still in the enemy's hands, so the fight still had to be fought... and there was no other way but to go for it!

With these thoughts in mind, a group of heroic spirits went to the front lines, and then this incredibly difficult war began!

Although Sieg initially anticipated that the Einzbern forces would possess formidable fighting power, he discovered that he had completely underestimated them when the war actually began!
