FATE: Target of Grand Master

Typhon's functions began to recover rapidly, and with two jets of blazing flames shooting out from the thrusters, Typhon's machine finally rose into the air.

Looking down at Xia Yan who was looking up at him, Typhon didn't say goodbye or thank him, and just flew off in the direction opposite the coastline.

"Xia Yan, those words you said just now were to make this stupid dragon accept your kindness, weren't they?"

"Nothing can be hidden from my wife."

Xia Yan admitted it very frankly.

"Hmph, glib tongue."

Although he said that, Morgan was clearly no longer angry.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry back to Uruk."

By this time, the sun above Uruk had been obscured by the dark, overwhelming army of Rahm. Outside the city walls, on the streets, and in the air, Rahm's figures were everywhere.

They hunt and kill humans everywhere, sparing neither men nor women, young nor old.

"Don't stop, keep firing. Exchange the wounded with the replacements, and I will stand behind you to protect you."

On the city walls, Uruk soldiers were still firing at the Rahm army with the Seal of God, while Gilgamesh stood behind the soldiers, launching an attack on the Rahm who were trying to ambush them.

On the street, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Red Hare escorted Diao Yunshang toward the temple. Xiduli allowed many citizens to take refuge inside, which also attracted the attention of the Lahms.

"Whoosh~ These disgusting guys are just endless."

Red Hare had lost count of how many Rahms it had killed.

"You beast, you claim to be me? Then act like Lu Bu. I'm not going to complain about being tired just because of this little bit."

Lu Bu's injuries had not yet healed, but he could not care about that now. The newly made halberd danced in his hands, and Red Hare galloped ahead, clearing the way for Diao Yunshang and Chen Gong, who were riding Red Hare.

"Whoa!"

Lu Bu suddenly pulled on the reins, and Red Hare immediately came to a sharp stop. The Red Hare horse behind him also slowed down.

"Whoosh~ Lu Bu, these ahead can't be overcome by mere momentum."

Before Diao Yunshang and the others was the massive army of Lahem, which had turned the entire street black. Spikes were piled high, leaving no place for horses to put their feet. As far as the eye could see, it was a black wave.

"Noble Phantasm! Queen Anne's Revenge!"

boom!

Just as Diao Yunshang and the others were at a loss, a huge pirate ship suddenly fell from the sky, crushing the densely packed Rahms on the street into Rahm sauce. That was naturally Blackbeard's Noble Phantasm.

"Leave the streets to me."

Feng Yan's voice came from the "Queen Anne's Revenge".

"Alright, then I'll go guard the temple. Don't push yourself too hard."

Thanks to Feng Yan and his companions, the surviving Rahms on the street were drawn to the "Queen Anne's Revenge" that had fallen from the sky and gathered around the pirate ship, attempting to climb onto the deck. Meanwhile, Feng Yan's three Servants—the Leopard Man, Diarmuid, and Blackbeard—launched their own counterattacks.

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the temple, the Rahms were looking at a person with some confusion. This person was Zhang Liao, who had been assigned by Diao Yunshang to guard Xiduli.

At Zhang Liao's request, the entrance to the temple had been temporarily blocked off, leaving only a space about three meters wide.

The advantage of this is that, facing hundreds or thousands of Rahms outside the temple, to enter the temple, one must pass through this relatively narrow space. At any given time, the Rahms can only walk in pairs side by side. This is similar to the ancient strategy of luring enemy troops through narrow canyons and then setting up an ambush on the canyon. It is a strategy often used by the defending side.

As a famous general during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Liao was naturally well-versed in this.

He put away his usual yellow dragon hook sickle and instead held a sword about 80 centimeters long, standing with one hand on his back and the other hand behind his back.

The Rahms didn't ponder for long why this old human was standing there alone. In their view, killing him and then storming into the temple to kill more old humans was more important.

The Rahm closest to the entrance charged straight in, raising its spikes and aiming at Zhang Liao's heart. Zhang Liao, however, sidestepped and leaped to the wall, dodging the Rahm's attack and using the wall's recoil to jump onto the Rahm's head, stabbing his sword into the large mouth that always emitted unsettling "giggle-giggle" laughter.

With a twist of his wrist, he pulled it out, and Rahm coughed up a torrent of blood. He staggered a couple of steps and collapsed.

"It seems that even monsters have weaknesses inside their mouths."

Zhang Liao flicked the blood off his sword and taunted the Rahms outside, "Next."

Another Rahm charged at him. This time, Zhang Liao used the same trick, sidestepping and leaping towards the wall. But the second Rahm was the first to raise its spikes and swing them towards its own head.

"He certainly has the ability to learn."

Zhang Liao was not surprised at all.

"However, when it comes to fighting techniques, I have many."

Zhang Liao changed the direction of his force, not choosing to jump upwards, but instead exerting force horizontally, thrusting his sword at the opening in the chest exposed by the raised spike.

puff.

The sword pierced Rahm's chest, then spun and pulled out, maximizing the damage of the strike.

Knowing it was doomed, the second Rahm tried to ambush Zhang Liao with its spikes, but the enemy anticipated its attack and dodged it.

"Not only does he possess learning ability, but he is also extremely insidious."

Zhang Liao has updated his understanding of the Rahms.

"Next."

"Next."

"Next."

After having eight of their companions killed in succession, the Rahms finally realized why they had to send them away one by one.

A width of three meters is enough for two Rahms to move forward at the same time.

So the two Rahms closest to the entrance rushed in at the same time. Although the three-meter space was enough for them to enter side by side, it wasn't enough for both of them to swing their spikes at the same time. In order not to injure each other, they could only thrust their spikes forward. Seeing this, Zhang Liao first slid in and stabbed into the abdomen of one of the Rahms. Before the Rahm could react, he used the momentum to move upward, and his own weight caused his sword to cut a huge gash in the Rahm's abdomen.

Zhang Liao turned to chase after another Rahm, and before it could turn around, he stabbed it in the head from behind. The other Rahm went limp and collapsed.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Three meters is the most suitable width to bring out the best in this sword, and it's also the distance I'm best at."

Zhang Liao bent his arm, held his sword between his elbows, wiped away the blood, and then raised the sword to the Rahms outside, saying, "No one has ever been able to cross the line of my sword."
