The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"So fight! Return your lives to the King (Uruk)!"

The legion, which transformed itself into a bulwark, began its advance.

“Arrrrrrrrrrrr!”

At the same time, after King Arthur stopped, the knight in black armor descended from the sky wielding a demonized sword and charged directly into the army formation.

Immediately following, a purple figure suddenly appeared, and beside her, several Uruk soldiers slowly dissipated into magic.

However, halfway through their advance, the two simultaneously made an emergency retreat.

The next moment, the long spear formed by the chains pierced into their original positions.

Kara la la la───

Although they had become somewhat numb to the endless tricks of the Hero King, everyone still turned their gaze to the sky.

Countless silver chains, like venomous snakes spitting their tongues, danced in the air.

The other end of the chain was held in the hands of the dragon goddess.

"I must admit, your strength is undeniable; even I would find it somewhat troublesome to deal with you."

Clenching her hands, Orpheus, whose expression had remained icy ever since the re-summoning, suddenly smiled gently.

"So, I've found a few helpers. No objections, right?"

Orpheus never cares about the means in battle. If he really gets serious, he won't hesitate to use Ea as a basic attack.

But there is only one difference.

With his other hand gently stroking the chains, Orpheus turned his gaze to the heroes.

"You should be honored that I have been given these chains. Go forth, Chains of Heaven (Enkidu)!"

Chapter 172 The strategist's name is El-Melloi

The situation changed too quickly. Gawain, who should have been the strongest bulwark, was unexpectedly driven back, and the two armies were now entangled in battle.

Everything happened so suddenly that Ritsuka could barely keep up with it.

No, it's refusing to keep up.

Those heroes must have made some discoveries as well, right?

Although Gawain is a tank-type character who is not good at speed battles, and was attacked at the moment when his Noble Phantasm was most vulnerable, he was still Gawain with three times the strength.

How strong is Orpheus when he gets serious, given that he can so easily kill such a powerful opponent in an instant?

Putting everything else aside, just that ability to appear and disappear unpredictably—if he just showed a momentary opening like Gao Wen did just now…

El-Melloi clenched his hands beside Ritsuka.

When will Kiritsugu finally succeed...?

────────────────────────────────

boom!

Siegfried nimbly jumped away, and the next second, a silver chain slammed heavily onto the spot where he had been standing.

The dragon-slaying warrior had a gut feeling that if he were to be directly touched by those chains, even with his powerful defensive skill, the famous 'Armor of Fafnir,' which could withstand attacks below rank B, something terrible would definitely happen.

Although he was a dragon slayer, having been bathed in dragon blood, he had already acquired the nature of a dragon.

Siegfried frowned in annoyance as he dodged the relentlessly pursuing Chains of Heaven.

El-Melloi was right; his dragon-slaying sword could indeed pose a certain threat to Orpheus, who possessed dragon and serpent attributes. However, conversely, Orpheus… or rather, the King of Heroes, was also quite effective against Siegfried.

The Gate of Babylon, which contains almost all the original Noble Phantasms, has a plethora of Noble Phantasms that surpass B-rank even without deliberately using weapons specifically designed to counter Siegfried. These Noble Phantasms exceed the defensive limits of the Dragon's Blood Armor, and while they can reduce damage to a considerable extent, they are not entirely ineffective.

Above the dragon-slaying warrior, chains forged from heaven and earth swayed, seemingly rejoicing that Orpheus had finally used himself.

Artoria clicked her tongue slightly as she was flung back by the chains.

Not only Siegfried and her, but all the Servants except for the Royal Army were restrained by the Chains of Heaven and could not move freely.

While it wasn't a relentless, frenzied pursuit, any attempt to take action was met with thwarts.

Even Scáthach found the chains somewhat troublesome.

It felt as if... the Chains of Heaven had a real life.

Moreover, when combined with Orpheus, the effect is definitely beyond one plus one.

"kill!!!"

Meanwhile, the King's army and the warriors of Uruk had already clashed.

The battle had barely begun when Iskandar's expression turned serious.

It's not because the warriors of Uruk are so powerful... Although living in the Age of Gods, these warriors are all incredibly strong individually. If several of them form a formation, they could even rival a modern small tank. However, Iskandar's army, as Heroic Spirits, also possesses considerable strength. Even if they are not as powerful as Uruk, the gap is not that large. Not to mention, they also have the Macedonian phalanx, a weapon that dominated the era.

However, the other side... is a bit too 'strange' for human soldiers.

Even when pierced by countless sharp blades, he still stood and brandished his weapon until his body completely disappeared. When one person died, another would instantly take his place. He was not swayed by the injuries he suffered, nor by the departure of his companions, nor by the impending death. He simply kept brandishing his weapon. Even when facing several square formations of spears, he could still keep getting closer.

If we use the language of this era...

"The machines of war..."

Iskandar severed the arm of a soldier who charged at him, pierced the heart of another who still wanted to continue attacking, and finally only by cutting off the soldier's head could he stop him forever. He muttered to himself in a heavy tone.

"What kind of experiences must have created such an army?"

No matter what, things can't go on like this.

Wang Jun's momentum is still high, but if it weakens even slightly, he might collapse directly against such a strange opponent due to some trigger.

However, even if he wanted to use his chariot to crush them with all his might, he would be blocked by the Chains of Heaven, and those on his side who could use weapons of mass destruction were basically restrained by the chains.

"hateful……"

Artoria's face darkened as she watched the chains closing in.

This kind of attack, which leaves no blind spots, can only be broken by slightly unleashing one's Noble Phantasm... However, the magic power is already somewhat insufficient, and we must have enough strength to deal with Orpheus's army.

Aside from Siegfried's Noble Phantasm being used to deal with Orpheus, with Gawain gone, only Artoria's Noble Phantasm possesses such wide-range destructive power.

*Pfft*

Artoria's eyes widened.

Diarmuid stood in front of the Knight King, the silver chains already embedded deep within his body.

"Lancer, why?!"

"Ah... Now that we've lost both weapons, there's no point in keeping them on the field, is there? Oh well, I can only offer you a little more help."

Gritting her teeth, Artoria's eyes hardened, and she nodded.

"Rest assured, Lancer, your sacrifice will not be in vain."

"Hey, strategist over there, do you have any ideas on how to break through the current situation?"

"Ugh?"

El-Melloi, who was suddenly called out, was slightly taken aback.

"Seriously, what's with that expression? Isn't this the time for you, as the strategist, to come up with ideas?"

"But……"

El-Melloi opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

"What else is possible but impossible?!"

With a frown, the Conqueror King suddenly shouted.

"I can tell from your aura that you're also someone who's pursuing dominance, right? If that's the case, then stop looking so dazed! Has it exceeded your calculations? Has it surpassed your expectations? Even if that's the case, so what!? It's precisely because it's unattainable that it's all the more worth the challenge. Has all your passion cooled down already!? You're even worse than me, your immature little Master!"

"Well?!"

The strategist, his fists clenched and his face contorted in a disheveled state, gritted his teeth.

"Mr. Second Generation?"

Beside him, Ritsuka looked at El-Melloi with some concern.

"I'm sorry, Master."

"Ugh?!"

Before Ritsuka knew it, a smile had crept onto El-Melloi's lips, a smile that made him feel a little terrified.

"A conservative strategy is pointless now; let me take a slightly riskier approach!"

Chapter 173 is titled "Unexpected".

"Oh?"

Standing amidst the chaos of the battlefield, Orpheus could clearly sense that Iskandar's soldiers were now moving with much more discipline and purpose.

"Is it that strategist...?"

In this way, even if Iskandar's army cannot achieve victory, it will not suffer a complete rout. In other words, is the government determined to completely tie down Uruk's forces...?

"It's meaningless, though..."

After all, the current situation is merely a matter of play for the girl.

If she wanted, she could completely restore the city walls and resurrect the army of Uruk.

Naturally, even causing the king's army to collapse would not be difficult at all.

That's right, no schemes are worthwhile.

"So, the next goal..."

Kara la la la la───

Suddenly, the Lock of Heaven began to stir, and at the same time, a crimson meteor fell from the sky.

Clang──
