Chapter 133 Enemy Attack! The Battle Begins! The Blooming of 'Gungnir'
"Boo!!!" XN
With Mar and Eng's call to action, the entire arena erupted with an unprecedented fighting spirit.
The soldiers' fighting spirit was completely ignited, and their morale reached a new level. If before they were looking for a victory, now they were basically ready to die for their cause.
After stepping down from the podium, Marx and Engels felt extremely ashamed and hid in a corner, covering their faces, regretting their actions.
He got carried away just now, and unconsciously unleashed the 'savior complex' deep within a man's heart, blurting out those words without thinking.
Looking back now, what on earth were those things?!
Especially the last few sentences, what kind of childish and immature statements are those?!
Undeniably, it was incredibly inspiring, a true savior! Is there anything more inspiring than that? It was also incredibly thrilling, fighting for humanity! Is there anything more thrilling than that?
It is said that a man remains a boy until death. Since he is a boy, who wouldn't want to be a savior? Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to stand on the high stage of fighting for humanity?
This is what is known as the savior complex, a man's yearning for personal heroism and his ultimate aspiration for good deeds.
But it's truly shameful!
"The performance just now was very good, very interesting. I am very satisfied. I can only say, as expected of you, you always manage to surprise me, hehe!"
A certain eccentric, always eager for a good show, saw that Marx and Eng were ashamed, but he mercilessly mocked them from the sidelines and even laughed out loud.
Nero joined in, giving Marne a thumbs-up: "Player, that was super cool!"
"She's a weirdo, fine, but why are you getting involved too?"
Immediately, Ma En grabbed Nero's cute face with both hands and staggered away menacingly.
This guy! Where is he from?!
Sure enough, this kind of cute and energetic creature is usually black when cut open.
"Waaah, I was wrong, please let me go."
Nero didn't struggle, but instead chose to play dumb and beg for mercy while looking pitifully at Marne.
Ma En didn't continue. She let go as soon as she heard that, secretly praising Nero's face for its pleasant feel.
However, after Nero's witty remark, Marne became less concerned about shame and stopped dwelling on it.
Of course, there was no time to let him struggle with it.
After that speech, which caused such a commotion, the enemy has already taken notice.
Iskandar, riding the Kamui Wheel, led the charge, followed by his corrupted army, which had emerged from the direction of Mount Enzo and were rushing towards Fuyuki.
The final battle begins!
……
"The enemy is attacking!"
"Attention! Soldiers! Advance troops! Fire!"
Without Maren and others reminding them, the soldiers who were on high alert discovered the enemy's presence.
After many days of fighting, the area between Fuyuki and Enzoyama had long been flattened by artillery fire, leaving it wide open and unobstructed. As soon as the enemy left Enzoyama, their movements could be spotted with the naked eye.
At the command of Hisayu Maiya, the soldiers who were already eager to fire quickly aimed and opened fire, with hundreds of cannons firing in succession.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
In an instant, the sound of cannons rang out continuously, and shells formed a barrage of bullets as the rapidly blackened army attacked.
Boom boom boom boom boom! ! !
The artillery fire continued to fall, and bursts of flame erupted within the corrupted army, quickly covering a large area—a true firestorm!
In an instant, a large group of people turned to the dark side.
However, Iskandar also knew that he was at a disadvantage due to the short range of his troops, so his vanguard consisted mostly of grunts and cannon fodder.
In addition, since the artillery fire was designed to target area-of-effect attacks, the positions were relatively spread out, so the damage was not severe. Three or four hundred cannon fodder were killed, but if a few more rounds or a dozen more came, it might not be so bad.
Just as they were preparing to accelerate their advance during the reloading break, as usual, they discovered that Fuyuki was not playing by the usual rules this time.
It wasn't a series of salvos at all, but a continuous barrage of free fire, with shells being fired one after another as if they were free.
The shells rained down on the corrupted army one after another, catching them off guard. Within seconds, the number of dead exceeded one thousand!
Iskandar also noticed something was wrong. Shouldn't Fuyuki be running out of ammunition and supplies? Where did they get their ammunition?
So he controlled the Divine Wheel and shot into the sky, accelerating towards the Fuyuki defense line.
"So that's what happened, it's you, kid. I didn't expect you to still be alive."
As he approached, Iskandar saw Marne surrounded by a group of heroic spirits on the city wall and was quite surprised, as he had never expected that Marne was still alive.
After all, he saw and heard it clearly at the time: Ma En had suffered a fatal injury from the Origin. Such an injury would have been enough to kill him on the spot. He never expected that Ma En would actually survive.
"Are you surprised?"
Marne raised an eyebrow, then smiled and pulled out a familiar golden gun from behind his back.
Iskandar, seeing Marn's familiar movements, was already on guard. The moment he saw the golden spear, he thought to himself: !
He made a quick decision, made a sharp turn, and retreated immediately, getting wet on the spot.
As he fled, he shouted, "You're still as shameless as ever! You tried to attack me without even giving me a proper greeting, trying to trick and ambush this old man. Sorry for disturbing you today! I'm leaving!"
As for the attack?
Let's talk about it another day. At least until he figures out a way to deal with the treasure in Maren's hands, he doesn't want to come in again in person.
"Want to escape?"
Maren was not surprised. Having experienced it once before, Iskandar naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistake, and his vigilance was to be expected.
Of course, it's also possible that Iskandar's personality was affected after he turned to the dark side, making him seem somewhat timid.
However, Marne did not pay attention to it. Instead, he held the gun in a throwing stance, his magic power surging and flowing into the golden gun. His eyes were fixed on Iskandar, who was rapidly moving away.
"Where can you run to?"
"The God's Declaration—Gungnir!"
A dazzling golden beam shot out from his hand, hurtling towards Iskandar.
Because this time it possessed the divinity bestowed by Tiamat, coupled with the massive magic power of the Furnace of Desire, this divine spear finally unleashed its original power in Marne's hands.
The gleaming golden pillar of light, as thick as several people could encircle, looked like a giant arrow from afar. Amplified by divine and terrifying magical power, it carried terrifying heat and, like a venomous snake, relentlessly pursued Iskandar, even as he zigzagged around, quickly catching up with his target.
Chapter 134 The Realistic Barrier Reopens! Huh: ? Did you forget something?
The golden beam of light streaked across the air and struck its target in the blink of an eye.
BOMMMMM!!
A giant flower of fire exploded in the sky, and billowing heat waves, carried by the impact, raged outwards.
Not to mention the corrupted army on the front lines, even the people on the city walls felt the terrifying heat wave, which was much hotter than the scorching sun in the desert. Many people's hair was roasted and curled up, and the artillery fire was all for naught.
It was because the surface of the ammunition was hot, but the soldiers endured the scalding heat and continued loading and firing.
A figure fell from the center of the explosion, crashing heavily between the army and the city wall.
It is Iskandar.
Although he was somewhat disheveled, he was not seriously injured.
Just moments before being struck by the golden beam of light, he swiftly turned the vehicle around, using the Divine Might Wheels as a shield to avoid being hit directly.
No, rather than saying he dodged it, it's more accurate to say he was let off the hook.
Marne is still the same Marne as before, using the same trick. This time, the divine declaration is not targeting Iskandar himself, but the divine wheel he drives.
As a result, the Thunder Bull with Flying Hoof was pierced through, and the chariot with the Divine Wheel was blasted to pieces along with it.
As a Rider, he has directly lost his vehicle of choice.
At this point, apart from the army, he has no more Noble Phantasms to use. Apart from his skills, he is almost no different from the Heroic Spirits of the corrupted army.
This was a relatively safe choice made by Maren because he might not be able to kill him in one go.
By disabling Iskandar's means of movement, not only was his escape prevented and he was kept here, but he was also prevented from using the aerial advantage of Kamui Wheels to escape halfway through each attack as before.
Now, Iskandar no longer has the ability to quickly escape the battlefield, and without his Noble Phantasm, he is like a lamb to the slaughter under the siege of the four Servants on their side.
Without Maren needing to say anything more, all the Masters and Servants who were already poised to attack instantly charged forward with Maren.
A mixed melee force composed of magicians and battle dolls, dressed in melee attire, led by Aozaki Touko and Gerald, followed closely behind, overtaking Marn and others, and even bypassing Iskandar, continuing their charge towards the corrupted army.
Their mission is to prevent the corrupted army from interfering with Ma En and others.
Subsequently, the four Masters—Marn, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Irisviel, and Kenneth, who had just been brought back—along with their respective Servants, surrounded Iskandar, and the righteous gang fight began once again!
As usual, Mordred and the Lion King, two melee knights, took the lead, while Nero and Gilgamesh, two versatile warriors capable of both close and long-range combat, provided support.
With the help of the four Servants, Iskandar was almost powerless to resist and was naturally beaten up.
Now that he has lost his Noble Phantasm, his combat power has decreased by an unknown amount. Even if he revives those cannon fodder who have already died, it can only buy him time and cannot withstand the fierce attack of four Servants.
On the other side, the Lion King, with the skill 'Endless Blessing', acts as a tank, withstanding the enemy's attacks.
Mordred unleashes her magic, unleashing a torrent of crimson lightning. She becomes a demon swordswoman with chain-effect damage, capable of wiping out even resurrected cannon fodder faster than she can in her unstoppable rampage.
Nero is a mage whose floating turrets can launch group attacks, and can even wipe out cannon fodder without any magic resistance skills. She also occasionally fires a few magic cannon shots at Iskandar and can even fight in melee. It's no use for cannon fodder to revive in her face.
Needless to say, Gilgamesh is a melee archer, one of the strongest types of Servants in Type-Moon. The firepower of the Gate of Babylon is the highest in the entire field, and her melee ability is also quite remarkable.
Not to mention, there are four Masters beside him. Apart from Irisviel being relatively weak, Tokiomi Tohsaka's magical skills are also quite impressive, Kenneth is a monarch-level Color Rank Grand Magician, and Maren is exceptionally strong.
The latter two were practically one-shotting everyone, dealing with these cannon fodder-level heroic spirits was incredibly easy for them. Marne even had time to cast various spells, testing the damage of the magic of desire on Iskandar.
Iskandar was in a terrible mood, his face as ugly as could be.
As a result, under the combined attack of the five members of the group, including Marne, Iskandar was left to passively endure the onslaught, receiving blows from all sides, one magic cannon followed by another Noble Phantasm. It was a truly miserable situation.
He even felt that Ma En was his nemesis, and every time he met Ma En, he would inevitably be beaten up.
