Dr. Roman had a worried look on his face. Obviously, this otaku who was King Solomon himself was well aware of the value of the Demon Pillar, which was far beyond what Mashu and Ritsuka could deal with at the moment.
"Don't worry, even if Ritsuka and the others can't win, don't we still have me? Although I may not be able to defeat King Solomon, the same cannot be said for the Demon Pillar." Wang Chong said with a smile.
"I understand. Now I completely understand." Dr. Roman nodded. "So, Mr. Wang Chong, you will be in charge of the formation, targeting the Demon Pillar. As for the Dragon Witch and the others, Ritsuka and the others will have to defeat them, right?
"This is an inevitable process of their growth. Doctor, you should also be aware of this. If you can't even defeat the Dragon Witch, how will you withstand the ever-increasing strength of the singularity in the future?"
Wang Chong said.
Dr. Roman thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "I hope there are other lost Servants in this era who can be united. Only then will Ritsuka have a chance of success in the Servant War."
Chapter 32 Marda's Attack
After setting up the summoning circle, Da Vinci began to replenish supplies and introduced to Ritsuka the rules of mutual restraint between the seven servant classes.
However, these theories made Wang Chong, who was listening in on the situation, look strange. After all, having experienced four battles, he knew completely different rules.
There is no so-called restraint. There is only the noble numerical monster Saber, the powerful top three riders, the mechanism-playing bottom four riders, and the Assassin who can be very weak if he is not careful.
But now that we have reached the world line of FGO, we can indeed feel some changes in the rules, and we don’t know what the reason is.
After completing the supply of supplies and the construction of a temporary camp, it was already afternoon.
As they gathered around the campfire, enjoying a late lunch, they began introducing themselves and discussing matters related to the singularity. Jeanne, acting just as she had been scripted, began to recount her own journey.
Of course, Joan of Arc was also completely immersed in it. She couldn't help but think about how she would view Black Joan of Arc and this feast of revenge in another time and space if she had no idea how things were going to develop.
During this period, they also indirectly repelled several waves of monsters that were attracted by the magical fluctuations of the summoning array, and then they finally finished their discussion.
"Since the goal is to restore order to this world, to correct its original state, then the more they distort history, the greater the restraining force they will face. And since they have summoned so many Servants, then correspondingly..."
Jeanne spoke slowly, and Mash followed this line of reasoning and couldn't help but say, "That means there will be more Servants coming to France to counter the enemy, right?"
"Oh, does that mean we're going to have a new encounter?" Mary couldn't help but say happily, "But my dear and I searched for a long time before, and we only met one Servant in Lyon. He was almost seriously injured and died at that time."
"Lyon? Then why haven't I seen this servant?" Joan of Arc couldn't help but ask.
"I'm asking him to help me with something. It doesn't look like I've gained much," Wang Chong said slowly. "You can choose Leon as your next target and look for the Servant named Siegfried."
"Siegfried? Isn't that the legendary dragon-slaying hero?" Mashu couldn't help but say, "If this Servant joins us, we will definitely be able to reverse our current disadvantage in Servant Battles."
"In that case, why don't we set off now? If we find that Servant sooner, we can resolve the incident sooner." Ritsuka couldn't help but muster up his energy and said.
"Okay, then let's rest for a while and then go to...who is it!" Wang Chong's face suddenly changed, and he said in a certain direction.
"There is a servant approaching! Everyone be alert!" At this moment, Dr. Roman, who was in charge of the test, immediately spoke.
After hearing what the two said, everyone became nervous and immediately prepared for battle.
"I really didn't expect that you would discover me so quickly. Your anti-detection ability is really good."
Only a woman's voice was heard, and then a purple-haired woman wearing a nun's uniform and holding a magic wand slowly walked out.
When Mary saw the other person, she was stunned at first, then delighted. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the words Wang Chong conveyed to her using the power of black mist. She stopped in time and took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Who is coming?" Joan of Arc immediately asked.
"Who am I...? Yes, who am I? I've always told myself to be a competent saint, yet in this world I'm being ordered around by a deranged saint."
As if complaining or stating something, the other party sighed and said.
"The insane saint..." Joan of Arc naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words and muttered to herself.
"My real name is Martha. I'm sorry that I can't meet your expectations and become your companion for the time being. After all, I also have things I need to figure out." Martha said.
"Mertha!? It's actually the Saint Martha! Everyone, be careful! She is the saint who can make dragons surrender." Dr. Roman immediately reminded.
"Then why do you show up now?" Joan of Arc couldn't help but ask.
"I originally intended to just follow you, but my remaining rationality told me I had to test you. After all, standing in your way is the 'Dragon Witch', riding the ultimate dragon species' calamity crystal."
Marda said slowly, "If you can't even defeat me, you won't be able to defeat her. It's better to just ignore everything and leave early."
After saying that, Marda stopped talking nonsense, her aura suddenly rose, and she shouted angrily:
"Come on, let me see your strength and see if you are worthy! Go ahead! Tarasque the Great Armored Dragon!"
Suddenly, a gigantic, reptilian dragon appeared before them, causing the ground to shake. The Tarasque roared a dragon's roar, demonstrating its might.
"Roar--!"
But at this moment, Mashu and others felt a huge roar coming from behind them.
The few people didn't feel anything unusual, but when Tarasque heard the sound, his body suddenly shrank and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Tarask? What's wrong with you? Why are you so scared?" Martha hit Tarasque's back with the cross staff in dissatisfaction. Tarasque just whimpered, indicating that it could do nothing.
"Be good, don't scare the other party. Now is not the time for you to take action."
Wang Chong stroked Albion's flaring silver hair and calmed it down. This dragon of his truly loved to fight.
"boom!"
In the end, the battle was about to break out. Martha hit Mashu's shield hard with her scepter, forcing Mashu to take a step back.
"Wow, what a heavy force." Mashu couldn't help but say.
"Mashu! Be careful of the opponent's dragon!" Ritsuka also reminded at this time, and continued to use the most basic magic to support, trying to hinder Tarasque's progress.
However, Tarasque still rushed towards Mashu regardless. After the collision, Mashu was knocked back more than ten steps and almost flew backwards.
At the same time, Jeanne was already fighting with Martha, but as both of them were Wang Chong's servants, they could naturally sense the subtle connection between them.
So the two of them started fighting as if they understood each other, but after countering each other's moves, Jeanne pretended to be unable to withstand Martha's huge strength and was deflected, then let Martha aim at Mash again.
But this time, Tarasque did not charge forward, because Mary also took action and used her huge magic power to hold Tarasque back, creating an environment for Mash to fight Martha one-on-one.
Under Martha's overwhelming attack, Mashu fought and retreated. However, in Wang Chong's hero creation panel, the combat stats of Mashu and Ritsuka, both of whom he had targeted, continued to improve under Martha's pressure.
"The progress is even faster than I thought. Marda, train them well, they will be the group that will shoulder great responsibilities in the future." Wang Chong secretly instructed Marda using the power of black mist.
"You really know how to order people around... this Master."
Marda sighed inwardly, but she could see that the two girls before her were both unpolished gems with great potential. Furthermore, as the boss, she was naturally willing to use her "fists" to look after these younger generations.
However, Martha could also feel that the two of them were making rapid progress, and their cooperation with each other was becoming increasingly close.
The girl named Mashu was gradually adapting to the rhythm of her attacks, and a force that could not be underestimated was also being nurtured under the giant shield, ready to burst out at any time.
"Now!" Ritsuka seized the opportunity and used the most basic lighting magic to accurately hit Martha's eyes. For a moment, Martha subconsciously blinked and tilted her head, allowing Mashu to seize the opportunity.
"Drink——!"
Mashu swung her shield across, and the edge of the shield hit Martha hard, knocking her away.
"Ahem! Not bad." After knocking down a big tree, Martha climbed up in a somewhat embarrassed manner. At this time, Tarasque was also repelled by the combined efforts of Joan of Arc and Marie, and retreated to Martha's side.
"It seems I've been defeated... In that case, I'll give you a piece of information for free. If you want to defeat the dragon controlled by the 'Dragon Witch', you need to find a true 'Dragon Slayer'."
Martha stood up, jumped onto Tarasque, and continued:
"It's neither a saint nor a princess who can defeat the legendary dragon. Since ancient times, those who can defeat dragons are all 'Dragon Slayers'. This is an established law. I hope that when we meet again, you will have the capital to defeat the 'Dragon Witch'."
After saying that, Marda immediately drove away in the Tarasque and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Chapter 33 The First Servant to be Eliminated
"She's truly a saint as swift as the wind... So, what on earth is she doing here? Is it just to pass on this news to us?"
After Marda left, everyone was puzzled, and Dr. Roman even asked everyone's questions directly.
"It seems that she is somewhat different from the other Servants who have been endowed with the Berserk attribute. The reason why she still maintains a certain rationality in talking to us may be related to her self-discipline, which is so strong that it is rare in the world."
Mashu couldn't help but sigh.
"But even so, I still cannot disobey that will. Perhaps this is the sadness of being summoned as a Servant by the wrong party." Jeanne couldn't help but say.
"System prompt: You have successfully deceived the Chaldea team with your servants, Martha and Jeanne! Reward Villain Points: 200 points, Current Villain Points: 18800."
At this moment, a reward notice for successfully defrauding Chaldea suddenly popped up in Wang Chong's mind.
However, Wang Chong didn't linger on this bland reward for long. He focused his attention on the topic everyone was discussing, then took over the conversation and said, "Everyone, listen to me for a moment."
"No matter what her character is, or what her purpose is, one thing is almost certain." Wang Chong stood up and said slowly, "The Dragon Slayer is the key, both for us and for them."
"In other words, the enemy's next target will also be the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried?" Mashu couldn't help but make such an analysis.
"If that's the case, then our rest period is over. The enemy's goal is the same as ours, and we must find Mr. Siegfried before they do. We must set off immediately."
Mary, who usually seemed somewhat relaxed, now showed a rare sense of urgency.
So, with everyone's unanimous consent, after packing up the necessary supplies, they once again boarded the black fog platform built by Wang Chong and began to fly quickly towards Lyon.
Fortunately, unlike their previous trip to the Spiritual Vein, where they were constantly attacked by magical beasts, they were able to at least reach Lyon City before sunset.
……
Lyon
"What a city devoid of beauty! Dead silent, dull, and devoid of any life. Not even a single living thing I'd want... Of course, that's excluding that damned guy who tore down my stage."
The Phantom of the Opera looked down at the lifeless city below, feeling somewhat bored. However, when he saw a large pothole not far from him, a sense of irritation and dissatisfaction welled up in his heart.
That was the day before, when a man who had returned from a trip had smashed a huge hole in the ground with his Noble Phantasm. The Phantom was puzzled: everyone had witnessed the destruction of the man's Noble Phantasm the day before, so how had the man's Noble Phantasm returned?
Of course, it wasn't just the other party that was strange, but also his own attitude. Ever since placing him in this city, it was as if his master had forgotten him.
"I've clearly sent Feilong back with countless messages, but why hasn't the Master responded yet after almost a whole day? That's the Dragon Slayer's Noble Phantasm that's been revived. The Master shouldn't be so negligent... Hmm?"
At this moment, the Phantom of the Opera began to look upwards, because he sensed the gazes coming from the sky.
"Support? No! It's other Servants!"
As the Phantom of the Opera always likes to observe the "audience", he only needs one glance to tell whether the other party is an enemy or not a friend. So he immediately controls the zombies, skeleton soldiers and wyverns in the entire city to come and stop those enemies.
"There are a lot of monsters reacting ahead! You have to be careful!" Dr. Roman warned in panic on the platform that was swooping down.
"Senior! Let's get ready!" Mashu said while maintaining the fighting spirit.
"Go ahead, Mashu." Ritsuka replied affirmatively.
As soon as the platform touched the ground, Ritsuka and Mashu were the first to descend from the platform. Jeanne and Marie followed closely behind, and the last to jump off were naturally Wang Chong and his Albion.
Watching them engage in combat with the monsters, Wang Chong had no intention of offering assistance. They were just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers, so there was no need for him to intervene.
On the contrary, Wang Chong locked onto someone's gaze that was spying on him and his group. He could clearly see that there was a Servant in the city who was paying attention to the battlefield here.
"It's time for the first guy to leave." Wang Chong thought to himself.
On a desert not far from Lyon, Siegfried was crawling on the ground, observing the situation in Lyon.
Since parting ways with Wang Chong and his group, Siegfried had been wandering around Lyon. His primary goal, of course, was to find the person who had destroyed his Noble Phantasm.
As for the second purpose, it is to prevent zombies and other pollutants from running into other cities and endangering ordinary humans who have not yet been contaminated.
As far as he knew, the only nearby city that hadn't been attacked by the "Dragon Witch" was Marseille, located at the very edge of the world. Many people who had previously lived in Lyon had now taken refuge there.
"Why are those zombies and skeleton soldiers in Lyon City rioting again?"
At this moment, Siegfried naturally noticed the changes in the zombies in Lyon. They were all heading in a certain direction. However, that direction was neither towards Marseille nor towards him.
"Could it be that Mr. Wang Chong and the others have returned?" Siegfried suddenly realized this and immediately used the black mist ring on his arm to ask.
"Well, we're near here. It's just right, Siegfried. Come join us in clearing this city of all its evil."
Soon, Wang Chong's voice was heard from the black fog ring, allowing Siegfried to confirm his guess.
Without any further hesitation, Siegfried immediately rushed towards the city of Lyon with a greatsword in hand.
……
Lyon city
"Hmm, what a brilliant performance. Those zombies were harvested at will in their hands like ears of wheat. It seems that it will be my turn to deal with them in the end. But why has my Master not responded to me yet?"
The Phantom of the Theater looked at the current situation and without saying a word, floated up from the fortress and landed directly in front of the people who had just fought.
"Phew—the raid is over. I hope their souls can find peace."
Joan of Arc was praying to the zombies they had just defeated, while the Phantom of the Opera said:
"Peace... longing for peace? What foolish talk. Their souls will never find peace. For us Servants, there is no such thing as certainty. This world has long been frozen in the distant past..."
"It's a Servant!" Mashu became alert again, and Jeanne immediately asked, "Who are you?"
"People call me: The Phantom of the Opera. With the authorization of the Dragon Witch, I have absolute control over this city. Come, come, come. This is the center of hell where the undead have awakened. What are you going to do?"
As the Phantom of the Theatre opened his hands, more zombies and undead began to emerge behind him, staring at everyone hungrily.
