At the border between the Sacred Lands and the Mountain Region, a fortress stood like a fortress, emitting a chilling aura.
Full-armored soldiers were stationed here. Some were guarding the gates, some were patrolling the surroundings, and some were standing guard on the city walls. The security was extremely tight.
Under such tight security, any signs of movement would be discovered by the soldiers on the watchtowers.
However, there were some things that no one would care about even if they were discovered.
For example, a flock of birds that soared across the sky.
A few birds flapped their wings and flew across the sky, hovering above the fortress.
The soldiers thought that they were just ordinary birds, but they didn't know that they had become the eyes of their master.
Behind a hill in the mountain region, a group of soldiers was hiding there. They were quiet and did not make a single sound. They were even holding their breaths as they waited for a young man to scout them out.
The young man was half-squatting on the ground, surrounded by the soldiers and protected by two servants. He closed his eyes and shared his five senses with the birds that flew over the fortress.
Shortly after, Rozen opened his eyes.
"No problem."
That's what Rozen said from the beginning.
"Although the security is tight, the soldiers guarding the fortress are all ordinary soldiers. There are no signs of the Solemn Knights or the Round Table."
Rozen confirmed this point.
Then, Chaldea's report arrived.
"All the signs on the surface are ordinary life signs, but there's an underground space in the Fortress. It's very vast, and I've detected a lot of magical reactions from there. It shouldn't be the response of the Solemn Knights, but some magical creatures."
Roman's voice came from the communication device on Rozen's wrist.
"Those monsters were probably reared by the Holy Knights, or they were originally living there. That fortress was built directly on the land with magic, and the underground space was built directly from the nests of the monsters that were already there. It's a perfect way to make use of the monsters as a defense force."
Da Vinci praised.
"No wonder there are only ordinary soldiers guarding this place. There isn't even a single knight. So it's because of that kind of defense?"
Olga Marie suddenly understood.
"In other words, it's not difficult to attack the fortress, but it's not so easy to attack the underground prison, right?"
Matthew looked serious.
There were only ordinary soldiers on the surface, and it wasn't difficult to attack the underground prison with their strength.
However, in the underground prison with limited space, not only there were magical creatures there, but also because of the environment, they couldn't act too recklessly. Otherwise, they would definitely be buried alive.
Therefore, first of all, Altoria's noble phantasm couldn't be used. She couldn't even release a little bit of magical power. Otherwise, with the assistance of Mana Release, it would still cause damage to the underground prison. If she was not careful, she would be buried alive again.
In other words, she couldn't use too much power there. Even with the ability of Rozen and the others, they wouldn't die if they were buried alive, but the prisoners inside were not clear.
"Can you detect the reaction of the servant? Bro? "
Rozen asked Roman.
Roman's answer immediately followed.
"Yes." Roman said seriously: "I have detected the reaction of the servant in the underground prison, and there is more than one. There are a total of two servant responses."
As soon as those words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Two servant responses?"
Matthew's face tightened.
"In other words, there is still one servant stationed in the underground of the fortress?"
Artoria furrowed her brows.
Rozen, on the other hand, reacted after a while.
"No, according to the information we have, combined with the information of your expedition for half a year, we can know that all the servants in Holy Capital should be Knights of the Round Table."
Rozen retorted.
"If it was the Knights of the Round Table, they would definitely be accompanied by the Knights of Solemnity, but I didn't find the Knights of Solemnity with my Tamed Demons. Even the number of horses in the stables didn't show any signs of excessive, which proves that it is not the Knights of the Round Table."
Unless the Knights of the Holy Capital came here on foot, and all of them had entered the underground prison.
However, it was too time-consuming and laborious to move on this land without horses. Rozen didn't think Holy Capital would march in this way.
But …
"If it is not the Knights of the Round Table, then who is this servant?"
Matthew was surprised.
On the contrary, Altoria understood Rozen's meaning smoothly.
"Are there other servants like Hassan who were caught by the Knights of the Holy Land?"
Altoria's words made everyone's spirit rise.
If that was the case …
"Then if we rescue the other party, won't we have one more servant?"
Olga Marie's tone was full of surprise as she explained the current situation.
"Moreover, the other party must be a servant of great value or extremely difficult to deal with. Otherwise, the Knights of the Holy Land would not want to imprison the other party, but directly attack."
Da Vinci realized this.
The only problem was that he didn't know what kind of servant the other party was.
Altoria had also said before that except for the servants belonging to the three major forces, all the neutral servants had been regarded as a threat by the Knights of the Round Table.
And the servants who could survive until now must be very special, right?
"It seems that the harvest this time will be greater than expected."
Altoria decided on the spot.
"Now let's attack."
After confirming the situation over there, there was no need to be afraid here.
"Senpai."
Matthew looked at Rozen.
Rozen shrugged and suddenly smiled.
"Then let's start."
With that, Rozen's hand slowly pressed on the ground, and magic surged.
The next moment, a magic formation expanded.
.....
"Huh?"
At the same time, some soldiers on the watchtower and wall of the Round Table Fortress were the first to notice the strange movement.
"Roar …"
"Roar …"
This was a looming roar, like the roar of a dragon.
"Rumble …"
This was the trembling of the ground, as if thousands of horses were galloping.
"There's a situation!"
The soldiers immediately noticed this.
It didn't take long for many people to see it.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Amidst the roars, the giant dragons flew over in groups like ferocious beast gods.
"Rumble!"
And on the other side of the horizon, in a tremor, under the rolling smoke, there were golems of different sizes charging while shaking the ground with their heavy feet, rushing toward this side.
Seeing such a scene, the soldiers' eyes widened and their bodies trembled.
Then …
"Enemy … enemy attack …!"
Following a sorrowful cry, the entire fortress turned into a battlefield. It was utter chaos.
