"… I see. This is as far as I can go."
Marda looked down at the two swords in her abdomen. There was no pain on her face. Instead, there was a smile of relief. "That's good, that's good. Really, how could you force the Saintess to kill?"
"But the last battle was really exciting. Even when I was alive, I never had such a good fight. To have such a battle, I guess it's meaningful for me to be summoned to this world."
"By the way, the snitch over there." Speaking of this, Marda suddenly raised her head. She glanced past Yuji and looked at Tang Hao not far away. "Do you remember the white knight who attacked us?"
"Are you talking about Ziegfeld?" Tang Hao asked.
"Ah, ah, you do know him." Marda nodded. "His name is Ziegfeld, a real dragon slayer. Since you've seen Fafnir, you should know that he's a monster that even the top servants can't defeat. Even the True Ancestor … may not be able to defeat him. The ultimate evil dragon can only be dealt with by a real dragon slayer, so go find him. I've placed him in Lyon. If you're lucky, you may be able to find him before his Spiritual Base is exhausted. Otherwise … it's none of my business. "
"Ah, I really hope that I can be summoned in a normal way next time."
Marda sighed and closed her eyes. The next moment, her body turned into Reiatsu fragments and disappeared.
Marda was defeated. Mashu and the others were relieved, but at the same time, they felt a little emotional. From the beginning to the end, they did not feel the slightest hostility from Marda. The strong self-discipline of the Saintess of Iron resisted the negative effects of madness to a certain extent. Until the last moment, it seemed that she was guiding them.
Unfortunately, if they could become allies, she would definitely be a very reliable companion.
As for the matter of Martha, everyone temporarily put it aside. Fujimaru Tachika looked at Wasako Hinako and said, "Hello, Miss Wasako. Although we might have met before, let me introduce myself. My name is Fujimaru Tachika, the 48th Master Candidate. Thank you for your help. Without you, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
After the battle was over, Yuji put on the white robe again and turned back into the appearance of a young girl. When she heard what Fujimaru Tachika said, she just glanced at her indifferently and did not say anything.
Mashu seemed to be a little worried and quickly said, "Senpai, Miss Jie is such a person. She rarely speaks, please don't mind her."
"I know. I've heard you mention it before," said Fujimaru Tachika with a smile.
"Ah, right."
Mashu came back to her senses and nodded. Then, she looked at Wasako Hinako and Tang Hao. She felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange. Although Roman said that they were a couple, it seemed that they were not as close as she had imagined. What was going on?
While Mashu was thinking, Tang Hao waved his hand and said weakly, "Let's not talk about that. I've lost too much blood and need to recover. Perverted eggplant … Oh no, Mashu, hurry up and set up the summoning circle. Let's rest for the night. Whether we go to Lyon or find the dragon slayer, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay … Okay!"
Mashu immediately responded and quickly set up the summoning circle. Then everyone sat down next to the summoning circle. Fujimaru Tachika and Mashu sat together, and their attitude was relatively close. Cake and Mozart sat together, and they were also talking and laughing.
Although Tang Hao wasn't sitting, they made a simple bed for him and let him lie on the grass. Wasako Hinako sat beside him with her knees bent, holding a book in both hands, and exuding the aura of "don't disturb me". The subtle atmosphere between the two was not only felt by Mashu, but also by others. In general, their relationship should be good. After all, with Wasako Hinako's character, if she had no interest in the people here, she would have already hidden in the corner.
Therefore, although everyone was curious, it was not convenient to ask because of their shallow relationship.
Jeanne looked left and right and found that everyone else seemed to be in pairs, but she was alone. Inexplicably, she was not used to it. Fortunately, Mashu and Cake did not neglect her. The three of them, together with Fujimaru Tachika, soon began to chat intimately. As for the things they talked about, they were all topics related to little girls. In this regard, Cake was particularly enthusiastic.
Tang Hao did not join their conversation. On the one hand, he was a man, and it was not convenient for him to intervene in this kind of topic, and Yuji was also there. On the other hand, after his blood was sucked, his body was very weak. After closing his eyes, a wave of sleepiness swept over him, and he soon fell asleep.
In his hazy consciousness, his ears were always surrounded by the voices of these girls.
…
At the same time, in the stronghold where Hei Zhen was.
"Is that so? The cavalry has been killed. It seems that she did not completely follow my orders, but acted on her own." Hei Zhen said to herself. As a master, she could sense the state of each servant under her command. The moment Martha was defeated, she immediately got the news.
But she didn't care too much about it. Anyway, she had the Holy Grail in her hand. If she wanted servants, she could summon them at any time.
"So the next step is up to you, Berserk … No, I'll just call you by your names." Hei Zhen looked at the servants she had just summoned in front of her and grinned. "Knight of the Lake Lancelot, Executioner Charlesong, Tranquil Hassan, Devil's Incarnation Minamoto no Raiko, and … Valkyrie Brunhilda!"
"… Aruuuuuu-"
"Yes."
"We will follow your instructions."
Listening to the different responses of the five servants, Hei Zhen nodded with satisfaction. "You go immediately and converge with the rest of the servants. Don't be merciful, directly kill the Chaldea group … By the way, there is a man in the Chaldea group who uses modern firearms. He is the most despicable and shameless guy in the world. You must be careful, and you must catch him alive and bring him to me. I want to burn him with my own hands!"
"Ah, and … according to the servant's report, there is still a servant hidden in the destroyed city of Lyon. A guy who should have died but luckily survived. You should also kill him. I don't want any more accidents."
The five servants, except for Lancelot, who was completely mad and couldn't even speak, all nodded and quickly left.
Soon, only Hei Zhen was left.
After a long silence, Hei Zhen suddenly turned her head and said, "Gil, you have accepted your suggestion and issued the order. In this way, the Chaldea should have no resistance, right?"
"That's right, Joan of Arc." A figure came out of the shadow. It was the Black Marshal, Gildre. "Since that guy betrayed you, we must prepare for the possibility of other servants betraying you in advance. We must use our greatest strength to kill the Chaldea group. We can't give them the slightest chance to turn over!"
"But …" Hei Zhen's eyes suddenly showed a trace of confusion. "Am I really right? Am I really Joan of Arc? If I am right, why did he betray me? "
"Joan of Arc, of course you are Joan of Arc! Why do you still doubt yourself now? " "He's just a traitor. He's been deceiving you from the very beginning. There's no need to believe every single word he says. You're undoubtedly right!" Gildrey walked forward and said with a straight face.
"Yes, the person who is wrong is not you, but this country, this world!"
"You bravely stood up to save this country. This country was saved by you, but what did they do to you? When you were in danger, this country abandoned you. The nobles betrayed you, the emperor refused to pay the little ransom, the bishop sentenced you to death, no one cared about your life and death, even the gods … Ah ah, yes, even the supreme gods abandoned you. If the gods really have a spirit, how could they ignore your life and death! "
"So they all deserve to die!"
"You are the savior of this country, and of course, you also have the right to destroy it. Now the revenge you are carrying out is the right decision, the real savior."
The hatred in Hei Zhen's heart was once again drawn out as she listened to Gildrey's incessant speech. Even now, she could still remember the pain and despair she felt when the flames engulfed her. Her once perplexed conviction once again became firm, and her face faintly revealed a sinister expression.
"Yes, Gil, you are right! It is this country that is wrong, it is this world that is wrong, everything here needs to be redeemed, with my flame … Ahahahahaha- "
Hei Zhen laughed wildly, and Gildre showed a satisfied smile.
During the day, when Tang Hao betrayed him and pointed his gun at Hei Zhen, he saw it with his own eyes, but he did not do anything. Because he knew that with Tang Hao's strength, he could not threaten Hei Zhen at all. Naturally, Tang Hao, who made such a move, could no longer stay by Hei Zhen's side, nor could he brainwash her. At that time, Hei Zhen would naturally become the Jeanne he expected and return to his side again.
Yes, he was the only one who Jeanne belonged to.
Only I will never betray you!
Forever and ever!
…
In the darkness of the night, the servants were moving, and all kinds of creatures and corpses that turned into monsters because of the madness were also moving, harvesting more lives of the living, and gradually turning the land of France into a hellish land of death.
Regarding all this, Tang Hao and the others who were sleeping had no idea.
"It's dawn."
The next day, Tang Hao woke up from his sleep, and the first thing he heard was Mashu's voice. Opening his eyes, he carefully felt his body and found that there was no longer any fatigue, but his chest was a little heavy, as if it was being pressed by something heavy.
Lowering his head to take a look, he discovered that the young mustard seed had already fallen asleep on his chest.
