Facing so many monsters, Saintess Martha, and the dragon she commanded, everyone was on guard.
Although the two sides had already fought during the day, they were outnumbered. Now, the only enemy Servant was Martha. In theory, there should be no need to worry. However … in a battle between Servants, numbers did not necessarily represent an advantage.
There were many people during the day, and the battle scene was a bit chaotic. In addition, the Servants on Kurozen's side thought that victory was in their grasp. Most of them fought with a playful attitude and did not use their full strength at all. In addition … there were some Servants who could only use their full strength when fighting alone.
There was no doubt that Martha was one of them.
She was actually more orthodox than Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc was canonized five hundred years after her death, but she herself did not belong to Christianity. On the one hand, she could hear the voice of God and was recognized by God. On the other hand, for her death, the church at that time had to bear a lot of responsibility. Perhaps the church five hundred years later wanted to compensate her out of guilt, so Joan of Arc was included in Christianity and was canonized as a Saintess.
In essence, Joan of Arc was actually a national hero. Although her reputation as a Saintess in later generations was even greater, even during the Holy Grail War, she could only be summoned as a Saintess.
But Martha was different. Legend had it that she was a Saintess who had truly served God and was also the spokesperson of the Savior. Once on a journey with the Savior, she "convinced" the evil dragon with her bare hands. Therefore, she was also a Dragon Knight. In a direct confrontation, her combat power was enough to crush Tang Hao's side.
As soon as Martha's voice fell, she jumped up and landed on the back of the dragon Tarasque. The latter roared and stared at everyone with its bell-like eyes, which made people's hearts tremble.
Although this guy looked like a tortoise, once again, it was a dragon, a pure-blooded dragon!
Perhaps it belonged to a type of dragon like Baxia.
At this time, Tachika Fujimaru said, "Miss Martha, you should know that what the Dragon Witch did was wrong. That was simply a massacre to vent her anger. No matter how angry she was in her heart, she should not have directed this emotion at innocent civilians. Since you are a Saintess, why are you still helping her? Moreover … you don't seem to have any hostility towards us, so why don't you help us? "
"Ah —" Marda was stunned for a moment, then she laughed. "How naive of you, Master. You're still trying to rope me in at a time like this? Indeed, if I wasn't given the [Berserk] attribute, I would be on your side. Unfortunately, even if I'm a Saintess, I can't disobey my Master's orders. This bloodthirsty impulse makes me crave killing. You guys … don't want to have a comrade who might attack you from behind at any time, right?"
"This …"
"But I've also said that if you want to save this world, you have to defeat the Dragon Witch. So, in order to confirm whether you have the corresponding strength, I relied on my last bit of rationality to appear like this. If you can't even defeat me, there's no need to talk about anything else."
"Phew —"
Marda took a deep breath, her eyes were piercingly cold, and her expression gradually became serious. She said in a deep voice, "Then let's begin. This is me and Tarasque, as well as a group of monsters that can only be used to make up for the momentum. You guys are all here. I'm not bullying you in terms of numbers, so there's no need to talk about rules and morality anymore. I will recklessly rush to kill you all. You don't have to be merciful, use all your strength, and don't hesitate to stab your sharp blades into my chest!"
Boom!
The next moment, the huge Tortoise Dragon crashed into them, officially sounding the bugle call of battle.
"I'll do it!"
Mashu immediately stood in front of everyone and put her shield upright on the ground. The Tortoise Dragon hit the ground with an earth-shattering sound. Mashu let out a muffled sound and pursed her lips in pain.
Her shield was not damaged, but the huge impact made her feel a heavy pressure.
At the same time, Tang Hao and others also launched an attack on Marda.
In addition to Mashu, the only combatants on this side were Tang Hao, Jeanne, Cake, and Mozart. One of them was the Queen, and the other was the Musician. Although their noble phantasms were very good, they were not good at close combat. They were not comparable to Marda's pure combat style.
In just a face-to-face confrontation, both of them were hit by Marda's cane and flew out.
The only ones who could launch an effective attack on Marda were Tang Hao and Jeanne.
When Jeanne saw this, she immediately said, "Master, please provide magical support!"
As early as the beginning, Jeanne signed a temporary contract with Fujimaru Rika. How much combat power she could exert depended on whether Fujimaru Rika's supply of magical power was sufficient. Fortunately, she was connected to Chaldea at the moment. Chaldea directly provided magical power, so there was no need to worry about the lack of magical power.
"I understand." Fujimaru Rika nodded and immediately increased the supply of magical power to Jeanne.
Jeanne's combat power was strengthened. She jumped directly on the dragon's back and fought with Marda.
"Oh, that's surprising." Even Martha couldn't help but look surprised.
Jeanne joined the war at the age of 17 and died at the age of 19. In her two years of fighting, except for the last time, she was never defeated. Whether it was the blessing of God or a miracle, a village girl could do something that no man in France could do at that time, which showed her excellent combat talent.
At this moment, in a head-on fight with Marda, she did not show any signs of losing.
Of course, this also had to do with Tang Hao's sneak attacks.
Although Tang Hao had experienced a lot of things and even fought against the demon god pillar, whether it was strength or combat experience, it was impossible to compare with a first-rate servant, not to mention Marda, a fighting saint. Even his bullets had little effect on Marda, because Marda also had divinity!
The restraining effect of the divine bullets was ineffective, and it could not cause enough damage to her. It could only interrupt some skills. However, because Tang Hao's every attack was very tricky, it also made Marda feel very uncomfortable.
Then, Cake and Mozart besieged her again, and the four of them worked together, and finally gradually suppressed Marda.
But at this time, Fujimaru Rika let out a scream.
Tang Hao took a look, and it turned out that Fujimaru Rika was attacked by monsters.
The group of monsters that Martha brought with her was not a threat to him and his Servants, so he did not take them seriously from the beginning. But for a human master like Fujimaru Tachika, every attack from them was fatal.
Mashu saw this and panicked. "Senpai!"
"Wait!" Seeing that Mashu was about to turn back to save Fujimaru Rika, Tang Hao quickly shouted to stop her. After Jeanne's ability was weakened, now only Mashu's shield could resist Tarasque. If Mashu withdrew, their hard-won advantage would be gone.
"But senpai, she …"
"Don't worry." Tang Hao smiled, flicked his wrist, and a rune card flew out, turned into an aura, and enveloped Fujimaru Rika's body. When the monsters touched this aura, the aura turned into arrows, and instantly penetrated their bodies.
Of course, in order to fight against the demon god pillar, the rune cards collected from the Fantasy Village had been used up in that battle, but there were still some left, but the threat was limited. It may be useless against servants, but it was more than enough to deal with these minions.
Fujimaru Rika's crisis was resolved, and she immediately thanked Tang Hao, and Mashu was finally relieved and focused on the battle.
In the end, they had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, coupled with Tang Hao's seemingly useless but actually effective attacks, gradually, they finally completely suppressed Marda. Then, Jeanne waved the flag like a spear, and Marda was directly blown off the dragon's back.
"Good opportunity!" When Cake saw this, her body was full of magic, as if releasing a charming light.
"May the glory of the Lily Crown be everlasting!"
Noble phantasm released!
The next moment, a white horse appeared under Cake's seat. She rode the white horse toward Marda, and at the same time, countless monsters were crushed. Marda was in mid-air, and it was difficult to defend. She could only instinctively raise her arms, and finally, with a bang, the horse stepped on her cane, and her whole body was knocked away.
"Maria, well done!"
Mozart praised loudly.
"Now she can't fight anymore, right?" Cake laughed. She was still very confident in her noble phantasm.
Cake's noble phantasm was an A + grade military noble phantasm, and it was no wonder that she was so confident. Everyone looked at the other side, and Marda fell in the forest not far away. As she broke many trees when she was knocked away, the trees collapsed, and dust flew up. For a moment, no one knew what happened to her.
Tang Hao frowned, and he had a bad feeling about this. After all — there was smoke, there was nothing to worry about.
This was the iron law of the anime world.
"Ahhh —"
Marda's extremely helpless voice came from the forest in front of them, and then, a figure slowly walked out from the flying dust. "She actually became like this. Her cane is broken, and her clothes are tattered. There's nothing we can do …"
The person who walked out was Marda. Her cross cane was broken, and the clothes on her body were also tattered, faintly revealing her fair and holy body.
"Oh no!" Tang Hao's expression changed, and he shouted, "Retreat!"
"What …?" Everyone was confused. Marda was already in such a sorry state, why did they retreat?
Before Tang Hao could say anything, Marda had already raised her head, and a helpless smile appeared on her face.
"Although I didn't think of showing mercy, I also didn't want to fight you in this state, but …"
Crack!
Marda completely broke her cross cane, and at the same time, tore off her tattered clothes.
"Since you've become like this, then …"
