Siegfried was defeated.
This was also a matter of course.
Although the word "sorry" caused Siegfried's reputation to be damaged, in terms of strength, he was undoubtedly a top follower. Even compared to the Golden Three Targets, he was not inferior. However, he had too many opponents … Greece's most famous heroine, Atalanta, Vlad, D 'Eon, Saintess of the Iron Fists, Cthulhu's faithful believer, Black Marshal, Camilla. None of them were weak, not to mention Siegfried's old enemy, Fafnir.
Even if Tang Ritian, who was just playing around, and Hei Zhen, who did not make a move, it was too difficult for Siegfried to fight against seven people alone.
In the end, he was not killed on the spot, but he broke through the encirclement. This was still a performance of his own strength.
After Siegfried escaped, Marda took the initiative to ask for a chase. Hei Zhen did not care about this. Although he did not kill Siegfried on the spot, he was cursed during the battle. These curses would gradually eat away at his spiritual base. In a few days, once his magic power was exhausted, even if he left it alone, there would only be a dead end.
Then, except for Marda, who left the team, everyone rushed to the territory of Orleans again.
Everyone thought that Marda left the team to chase after Siegfried. Only Tang Hao knew that this Saintess of the Iron Fists was actually half a traitor. Although the berserk attribute of the Saintess of the Iron Fists had swallowed most of her rationality, as a saint, she still maintained some rationality. Under the influence of this part of rationality, she said that she was chasing after Siegfried, but in fact, she was rescuing him.
For this kind of thing, of course, Tang Hao would not say it out loud. If possible, he even wanted to "chase" Siegfried with Marda. After all, staying in such a villain camp was too insecure. Who knew if he would suddenly be turned into ashes by the heavens? Also … Gildre's occasional glances at him made his heart palpitate.
Tang Hao was very clear that his clumsy lie could deceive the idiot Hei Zhen, but it was a bit naive to think that he could get away with it in front of Gildre. Gildre was probably already suspicious of him, but there was no concrete evidence.
On the other hand, perhaps because Tang Hao saved Hei Zhen before, although she did not admit it, she paid more attention to Tang Hao. When they set off again, she even took the initiative to greet him. Therefore, Tang Hao could only give up "chasing" Siegfried.
After that, they encountered several French armies along the way. The largest number was no more than a thousand people. As a result, they were slaughtered one by one, but there were also some survivors. They were lucky enough to escape and brought back the battle report. Then, in less than two days, the name of Jeanne d 'Arc the Dragon Witch gradually spread throughout Orleans, and even throughout France.
During this period, many villages and towns in Orleans were attacked by wyverns. Occasionally, mad servants joined these battles. As Hei Zhen said at the beginning, they destroyed the vibrant streets and ravaged the vibrant villages. And her "hounds" did indeed do this. Many villages and streets were slaughtered, and countless people's lives were lost.
Even if the resistance forces of France occasionally appeared, it would be useless. They would just be throwing their lives away.
When he first played the game, the players' perspective followed Chaldea's actions. They couldn't understand the cruelty of this singularity from the plot. But at this time, Tang Hao stood on Hei Zhen's side and really felt this bloody and cruel.
The people of Orleans were liberated by Jeanne d 'Arc not long ago, and peace was restored from the invasion of the English. However, they did not enjoy peace for long. In the blink of an eye, the saintess who had liberated them turned into a witch, leading countless monsters to bring more despair, destruction, and pain to them.
Tang Hao was not a cold-blooded person. After all, dying on the battlefield was also one of their destinies. At least they tried their best and fought, but the act of slaughtering civilians was really not something he could appreciate.
It was just that he was helpless in such a thing. After all, he was not a saint. He could not give up his life for these people. At most, he would not let his hands be stained with innocent blood.
At the same time, with the slaughter brought by Hei Zhen, Jeanne d 'Arc's reputation was completely ruined.
As a hero who saved the country, Jeanne d 'Arc was originally respected and loved by all the people of Orleans. But now, her home was destroyed, and her relatives and friends died. It was also Jeanne d' Arc who brought all of this, causing Jeanne's reputation to directly fall from the peak to the bottom.
But for all of this, Hei Zhen did not care at all. After destroying Orleans, she led the wyverns straight to the place where Charles VII was. In front of countless people, she burned King Charles and some of the English who were stationed in France because of the armistice agreement.
The surviving English retreated in France, and the whole of France was immersed in the horror of the Dragon Witch.
In a way, Hei Zhen did what even Jeanne d 'Arc failed to do.
It took Jeanne two years to liberate Orleans and recover most of the lost land of France, forcing the English to sign the armistice agreement. But even so, she failed to completely expel the English from the country. But it only took Hei Zhen a few days to leave no English on the land of France … except for their burned ashes and the corpses eaten by the wyverns.
However, for the Frenchmen who were still alive, the real terror was no longer the English, but the Dragon Witch who made the English tremble in fear.
"What's next?"
Standing on Fafnir's back, Hei Zhen lowered her head and looked at the palace that had been swallowed by the fire and could not be seen clearly. There seemed to be a faint trace of loneliness in her eyes as she muttered to herself.
"Do you feel empty?" Tang Hao squatted beside her, looked up at her, and said, "Revenge is like this. When you have a target and an object of revenge, your whole body will be full of motivation. At the moment when the revenge is successful, excitement and pleasure will erode your whole body, as if ushering in the peak of life. But when the target of revenge is gone, what follows is infinite emptiness and loneliness."
"Huh? How can I be empty and lonely! "
Upon hearing this, Hei Zhen suddenly glanced coldly at Tang Hao, and the corners of her mouth curled up, showing a disdainful expression, "Don't think that just because I allowed you to follow me, you can make thoughtless remarks about my mood. I am not that fragile! And … "
With that, Hei Zhen once again showed that arrogant and evil smile, "Aren't there still many people alive in France? Aren't the surviving French army also trying to organize against us? There is also the great God who has not yet arrived. My road of revenge is far from over!"
"If you really think so …" Tang Hao smiled and said noncommittally, "That's good."
"Humph!"
Hei Zhen snorted coldly and continued to look down at the flames below.
However, no matter how much she refused to admit it, she knew very well that there was a trace of emptiness in her heart that she had never felt before.
When she burned Bishop Pierre to death with flames, she was very happy. When she burned King Charles to death in front of countless people, she was also very happy. These two joys should have brought more joy, but why … after King Charles died and the most luxurious palace in France was burned down, she began to gradually lose her goal to continue?
Why did it become like this?
His path of vengeance had clearly just begun.
In the end … what am I missing?
"Jeanne!"
At this moment, a wyvern flew over, and standing on its back was Gilderay. He opened his arms and said loudly, "Rejoice, Jeanne! King Charles is dead, the French army is completely defeated, and the remaining remnants are no longer a threat. At most, the other useless me can still resist a little. Now, the whole of France is afraid of us!"
"Yes, it's really something to be happy about, Gilderay." Hei Zhen grinned and then asked, "So, where should we go next? Do we go after the English? "
"Uh …"
Gilderay was startled and a little surprised. Jeanne didn't seem to be as happy as he thought.
He subconsciously glanced at Tang Hao, his eyes flashing.
Tang Hao smiled slightly.
In essence, Hei Zhen was a puppet made by Gilderay. Her identity was fake, her spirit base was also fake, and the values she had were also given by Gilderay. Because Gilderay was eager for revenge, Hei Zhen became a vengeful witch, but her life was still a blank piece of paper that could be reshaped.
Recently, she had been following Hei Zhen. On the one hand, it was for the sake of her own life. As long as Hei Zhen was watching, Gilderay would not easily attack her. On the other hand, he was also trying to reshape Hei Zhen's worldview.
Of course, Tang Hao didn't want to dye her with white paint. It was meaningless and impossible. He just wanted to teach her some life experience. After all, in all aspects, Hei Zhen was just a child who lacked love.
And this subtle change was the reason why Kurojete felt empty.
Gilderay didn't know this, but he could feel that the change in Jeanne's body was probably related to Tang Hao, which made him a little unhappy.
Gilderay didn't show his emotions. He smiled and said, "Jeanne, are you worried about your next goal? That's not a problem. I just received news that the people of Chaldea have appeared. "
"Chaldea?" Hei Zhen was stunned. "Is it the organization that saves humanity? What does it have to do with me? "
"Of course it has something to do with us. Our era is not in the original history of humanity, but as a singularity. Chaldea's goal is to save humanity. They must destroy us in order to bring back the correct history of humanity. In other words, we and Chaldea are in an irreconcilable relationship."
"So that's how it is. It's a simple logic." Hei Zhen suddenly grinned, and her face was full of joy again. "Then don't worry about those useless British for the time being. Gilderay, let's go and destroy the people of Chaldea!"
"Of course, we will follow the flag of the Saintess!"
Then, Hei Zhen waved the flag, and the wyverns that were hunting below flew up.
…
At the same time, the last master of Chaldea, Tachika Fujimaru and Mashu had arrived in Orleans. They were accompanied by another person … a blonde girl with long blonde hair tied into a twist, holding a flag in her hand. The flag's icon was the iris representing the French royal family.
"Jeanne, that is to say, there is another Jeanne in this era, the one known as the Dragon Witch. She attacked Orleans and slaughtered in France. Do you know where she is?" Mashu asked.
The blonde girl called Jeanne shook her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was only summoned a few hours ago. I don't know the specific situation, and … I was not given the corresponding knowledge like in the Holy Grail War. Maybe it's because I just died a few days ago. As a servant, I'm just a novice. Although I was summoned as an arbiter, my ability has been reduced, and I can't even use my real name."
"I see." Tachika Fujimaru nodded and guessed, "Is it because there are two Jeanne in this era at the same time, so your ability is weakened?"
"Maybe … but summoning wyverns, I didn't even think about it when I was alive, but the Dragon Witch can do it. So, is the ability of the other me strengthened?"
"It should be the Holy Grail!" Mashu nodded, "The Holy Grail can force the ability of the servant. Miss Jeanne, what do you think of the other Jeanne?"
"Well … the only thing I know is that she is also an arbiter like me. If she is strengthened by the Holy Grail, she may be able to see where we are, and then it will be difficult for us to act secretly."
Tachika Fujimaru sighed, "If only we can meet the reinforcements the doctor mentioned as soon as possible."
Not long after, the three of them arrived at a small town called Orleans. However, what they saw was ruins, and there were corpses that had been eaten everywhere. It was extremely miserable.
Jeanne walked in this small town, her face was full of sadness, and she murmured, "How much did the other me hate humans to do such a thing?"
"Miss Jeanne …"
Mashu and Tachika Fujimaru were also depressed, and they didn't know how to comfort her.
Dididi!
At this moment, an image suddenly appeared in front of the three of them. In the image, Roman looked panicked and shouted, "Not good, there are signs of a large number of servants in front of you, six … no, it's seven! Are you kidding me? "
"Seven servants?"
When they heard this, the three of them were all shocked.
On their side, Tachika Fujimaru was the master, and she had almost no fighting power. Jeanne's ability was weakened, and she was not the top servant. The only one who had real fighting power was Mashu. Encountering seven servants at the same time was almost no different from suicide.
In the image, Roman continued to shout, "And they are very fast, maybe they are cavalry or something. In short, run!"
However, when Mashu was ready to retreat, Jeanne stood in the same place, motionless.
"No, I won't run!"
"Huh?"
"If it's another me, I will find out the truth of the matter in any case." Jeanne said in a loud voice, and her face did not waver.
"It's Jeanne, she is really Jeanne!" In the image, Roman burst into tears because the historical Jeanne was such a reckless woman.
In fact, whether they escaped or not, there was no difference. In the blink of an eye, dozens of two-footed flying dragons appeared in their field of vision, and on the back of the two-footed flying dragons, there were seven servants.
"It's not cavalry, it's flying!" Roman cried.
The speed of the two-footed flying dragons was very fast, and the servants on the dragon's back moved even faster. At the moment when the two-footed flying dragons passed by, the seven figures jumped down from the dragon's back and surrounded Mashu and the other two.
Then, the moment their eyes met, Jeanne and Kurosawa were stunned.
Jeanne was stunned, and she couldn't speak at all. Kurosawa was expressionless until she stared at them for a long time. Her face showed a sarcastic expression. "I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing … Hey, can someone pour a bucket of cold water on my head, I'm really going crazy!"
"Because if I don't do this, I'm going to die from laughter. Haha, it's so funny. Look, that little girl. What is that! Termites? Earthworms? Mice? They are so small that they can't even arouse my sympathy. Ah, really, a country that can only rely on this little girl is worse than the Kingdom of Mice! "
"I say, Gil, you should also express your opinion … Oh yes, I didn't bring Gil with me."
Kurosawa ridiculed wantonly, and her words were full of contempt and disdain for Jeanne. Only at the end did she realize that Gildrey was not there.
Gildrey did not come, which was also a matter of course. After all, he had the Holy Grail in his hand. If he rashly contacted the people of Chaldea, it was likely that he would be exposed immediately, so he found an excuse and did not come out.
However, Tang Hao believed that even if Gildrey did not come, he must be hiding nearby to monitor.
After Kurosawa finished speaking, Jeanne was still in shock. At this time, Tang Hao took out a bottle of mineral water from his favorite folder, came to Kurosawa, and said: "Here's the cold water, where do you want me to pour it?"
Kurosawa: "…"
Jeanne: "…"
Mashu: "…"
Rika Fujimaru: "…"
All the followers: "…"
The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and everyone stared at Tang Hao incredulously. They couldn't understand what he was doing.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that Kurosawa angrily slapped away his mineral water and shouted.
"Are you crazy! I just said it casually! You're even funnier than that little girl! "
