Perhaps their trembling legs, as if they wanted to flee, proved that they were panicked. At this moment, Hassan Sabah looked just like a mob, and the previous mesmerizing and mysterious aura was completely crushed under this grand and righteous momentum.
It makes one think that a rat in the dark is ultimately just a rat; no matter how cunning and elusive it may be, it appears so insignificant when facing a fierce tiger.
Okay, let's begin.
"If we're talking about numbers, it seems like my side has the upper hand right now."
The Conqueror King, who usually gave the impression of being bold and reckless, now had a somewhat tyrannical and cruel expression on his face, and without hesitation ordered, "Torture them!"
Clop clop clop! Dust billowed as the sound of galloping hooves filled the air.
Those Hassans who were terrified seemed to gradually accept their fate. Since they were already dead, they would not fear death again. They were simply swallowed up by the crowd with regret and resentment.
After a long while, the spilled blood mingled with the sand and soil.
The once boundless plains are now completely devoid of any trace of them.
Amidst the cheers of the soldiers celebrating their victory, they and the inherent barrier once again vanished into the distance.
The scenery returned to that... courtyard as night fell.
This was already incredibly disappointing, but since no one had spoken yet, the banquet wasn't over yet. From the moment he was able to drink, everyone realized that he still possessed at least a certain degree of rationality.
In that case, as a heroic spirit attending the banquet, it is impossible to deprive him of his right to speak.
However, at this moment, no one was interested in asking questions.
Just as he was about to remove his helmet, an unexpected, clear, and crisp voice spoke first.
Could we be invited to this banquet?
Upon seeing this, everyone's expressions became strange.
The Conqueror King blinked, and after confirming he wasn't mistaken, asked in surprise, "Is this your sister?"
"Stop joking!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the ahoge (shaggy king) uttered a displeased remark, then looked at the newcomer with a serious tone: "Joan of Arc."
Unaware of this class, Waver asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled, "What class is it?"
"It is the adjudicator."
Without needing anyone else to explain, Jeanne d'Arc, who strolled over carrying a banner, already smiled gently and replied, "This class only appears when there are unexpected events in the Holy Grail War, or when problems arise in the world."
Everyone turned their attention to Group 1.
Has something gone wrong with the world? Those who are unaware that the Holy Grail has been corrupted obviously cannot imagine this, especially since the evil in this world has not attracted the attention of the restraining forces.
If nothing is wrong with the world, then the problem must lie with the Holy Grail War, and it's clear that someone is blatantly violating the rules.
Kenneth summoned three Heroic Spirits.
That is undoubtedly the goal.
"Has it been dealt with by you?"
Stared intently at by that gentle gaze, Aizen suddenly asked about something else.
"Well, Jill has returned to Valhalla to atone for his sins."
Joan of Arc paused for a moment, then answered with her smile unchanged.
Kim Pikachu stared wide-eyed: Who are you calling! Atonement probably isn't some kind of physical atonement method.
Aizen smiled insincerely, but in his heart he didn't believe such an explanation at all.
Given Gilles's character, even if he admitted his mistake, he wouldn't die casually; at the very least, he would die for Joan of Arc rather than willingly.
Knowing that Joan of Arc still had things to do, his first reaction would definitely be to help Joan of Arc complete them, which is in line with Gilles' character.
It's highly likely that Joan of Arc discovered Gilles's past life and his record of killing children, so she physically exorcised him from the dead. However, Marshal Gilles probably didn't offer much resistance.
So here comes the question.
Without such a powerful ally, where did Joan of Arc get the confidence to persuade Diarmuid and Hattori Hanzo to withdraw from or stay away from the Holy Grail War?
Keep in mind that he had already wasted a Command Seal on Hattori Hanzo, while Aizen hadn't used any of his own Command Seals yet. Each of his three Command Seals could completely cancel out Jeanne's Command Seals, and her own Noble Phantasm was primarily defensive.
Although her attributes and martial arts skills are not bad, compared to the people present, her martial arts skills are really not good enough, and she doesn't have any advantage in terms of attributes alone.
Even though she's considered one of the top-tier Heroic Spirits, Jeanne d'Arc is at best a 50/50 match.
He suddenly felt that things were getting interesting; perhaps the Holy Grail War would end today.
Just in case, Aizen smiled and tentatively asked to speak.
"Lady Jeanne, your appearance leading to your early exit is tantamount to personally influencing the course of the Holy Grail War."
"Sorry, but those who break the rules must leave today, even if it's with the intention of killing them."
The will to suppress Nys's ambition will never die.
Seeing Jeanne's polite and apologetic expression, a thought suddenly flashed through Aizen's mind.
There will be another update tomorrow morning.
Chapter 496 The Chaotic Battle Begins (1/4)
This special position has a prerequisite requirement.
That is, a Heroic Spirit has no wishes to fulfill before death. Only Heroic Spirits with such wishes are absolutely fair, and this is part of the rules of Heroic Spirits.
However, the rules of Type-Moon are for eating.
Could it be that Amakusa Shiro's seemingly grand and insane wish was just a lie? Just because he had no wishes before he died doesn't mean he has no wishes to fulfill after becoming a Heroic Spirit.
The loopholes in the rules are so easy to exploit, it's no surprise that Joan of Arc, a prime example of corrupt referees, acted unreasonably and violated the rules.
If Joan of Arc were chosen to be abandoned and sent back to Valhalla simply because she didn't want to interfere with the normal course of the Holy Grail War, then she wouldn't deserve to be called a "Saint."
Up.
But this ability to change the course of the Holy Grail War doesn't allow "Kenneth" to do so.
Aizen always had a strange feeling about his unruly attitude.
It seems the restraint really wants to kill Kenneth! "So, what's Mr. Kenneth's attitude?"
Jeanne d'Arc gazed at Aizen with a gentle smile.
"Hehe, '553'"
"
Shaking his head and chuckling lightly, Aizen's eyes flashed with disdain under the other person's puzzled gaze: "I refuse!"
"Is that true?"
Jeanne's tone was slightly regretful; clearly, this answer wasn't too unexpected for her.
It's unrealistic to expect a Master who has gone to great lengths to create several Servants as trump cards to simply give up their advantage with a few words of advice.
Fairness is relative. Summoning multiple Servants also means incurring greater costs. The advantages and pressures are equal. If someone else wanted more Servants, would they be able to handle it?
Putting aside other examples, Matou Kariya alone was almost completely drained of his vitality in the original work.
But Joan of Arc's reappearance was because of "Kenneth".
Summoning her against the rules—this is her mission.
She will not abandon the idea of targeting others as long as it does not go against her own will.
"Please help us remove Violator 1 and Violator 2 from the game."
""
Joan of Arc made her request, and everyone present fell into a brief silence.
This situation has deviated far from its original course, and everything is heading towards the unknown.
Gilgamesh broke the eerie silence first, his expression contemptuous: "You mongrel, how am I supposed to decide when I need someone else's intervention?"
No matter how many people there are, they are nothing in front of me!
Without the constraints of a Master, Gilgamesh, already willful, did as he pleased.
It wasn't that he had any particular fondness for Aizen's group; he was simply interested in them and didn't dislike them too much.
The degree of.
Whether he wants to take action against someone is his own business; right now, he doesn't want to resort to violence, that's all.
Compared to Gilgamesh's lack of cooperation, the Conqueror King's cheerful and unpretentious tone was much more tactful: "I don't mind joining forces against an enemy, but wouldn't it be an insult to a king's dignity to attack a guest at a banquet hosted by me?"
"Please allow me to refuse."
Saber King's attitude was even more decisive.
To be honest, her feelings were quite complicated, especially regarding the "Kennedy group".
It would indeed be quite difficult for someone with that level of combat power to win a one-on-one fight.
Using some tricks in a war is not considered despicable or shameless; it's simply a matter of all's fair in war.
On one hand, she didn't want to repay kindness with enmity because of the people who spoke up for her; on the other hand, her Noble Phantasm was difficult to use due to her wrist injury, and in a real fight, she might not even be a match for Diarmuid.
Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc looked regretful and conflicted: "This..."
That would be very rude.
Everyone's brows furrowed, sensing that something was amiss.
"By command of the Command Spell, expel Hanzo and Diarmuid with all your might, and kill them if necessary."
"Use the Command Spell to command it and drive it away with all your might."
"Command it with a spell,"
The crimson light shining on the back of his hand exerted its power as each Command Seal disappeared.
Almost instantly, all the Heroic Spirits controlled by the Command Seals showed expressions of shock and anger, their bodies trembling as they tried to resist the power of the Command Seals.
"How dare you, you piece of trash!"
"Could it be that the mighty Joan of Arc would actually attempt to control the king using Command Seals?"
"How could you do this!"
Despite being condemned by everyone, Jeanne showed only a hint of apology before resolutely heading towards Aizen.
At the same time, the other heroic spirits finally couldn't control themselves and got up to join in.
Surrounded by numerous heroic spirits, Sora's forehead was covered in sweat, and she trembled as she said, "Ken... Kenneth, what do we do?"
"Sigh, I never thought everything would end today."
With a strange sigh, Aizen remained calmly seated under Sora's gaze, casually pouring out the remaining sake from his golden flask: "Since we're going to fight, let's all come at once."
This will show these self-proclaimed kings who think they are superior to everyone else that the power of a king does not mean that he is stronger than any other person.
"I couldn't have gotten it."
Diarmuid was the first to reveal a frivolous and excited smile, grabbing his twin pistols and charging forward.
Finn and Hattori Hanzo exchanged a glance. Finn shrugged and said with a troubled expression, "The Conqueror King's Noble Phantasm is very difficult to deal with. Are you up to the task?"
"You are to deal with the King of Heroes"
"Why not give it a try?"
Finn's relaxed attitude calmed the already furious King of Heroes, who decided to follow the order and experience the power of the Godslayer firsthand. However, beneath this relaxed facade, his words themselves proved that Finn himself was not particularly confident.
Swish!
. "
Boil, my blood! The incoming longsword was intercepted by a ball of mercury.
Bang! Kenneth's prized Moon Spirit Essence Liquid crumbled upon contact, causing his movements to pause.
Startled awake, Kariya Matou quickly used a Command Spell: "By Command Spell, cease attack."
The attack, which was about to continue, came to an abrupt halt.
The attacking King Conqueror and King Hero were held off by Finn and Hattori Hanzo, who shifted the battlefield slightly. However, the occasional explosions at that time proved that the Einzbern castle was still going to suffer serious damage.
The chaotic battle begins, and Jeanne d'Arc stands before Aizen.
