Chapter 39: Intrigue and deception, recruiting troops
To put it bluntly, there are two main difficulties facing the coalition forces at the moment.
One, lack of food.
Second, the combat power is insufficient.
However, both problems can be solved at the outpost, at least half of them.
Outside the mountains, there is a walled post built by the Holy Capital. Inside, an Archer who was captured by the Yangtze Knights—Touta Tawara—is imprisoned.
Touta Touta was a military commander in Japan during the Heian period. For some reason, he was accepted as a disciple by Xuanzang Sanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty.
He has a special EX-level banquet treasure - "Endless Rice Bag", which can produce a large amount of delicious rice.
Rescue him and half of the food problem will be solved.
Moreover, Tawara Tota himself has good fighting prowess, and is a first-class Archer that is not inferior to Arash and Tristan.
As long as he is rescued, he can also win over Master Tripitaka's servant who has a top spiritual foundation. It can be said that he kills three birds with one stone.
In addition, a beautiful female assassin is also imprisoned there.
Sure enough, when Ren mentioned the outpost occupied by the knights, Hassan the Cursed Wrist said in a somewhat excited tone:
"To be honest, everyone, one of our members, 'Quiet' Hassan, is being held at that outpost and is being tortured.
Due to her special constitution, she cannot commit suicide by taking poison. Although she is unlikely to confess under torture, the enemy also has people who are very good at torture──Iron Age Code!
It is said that he can make hippos beg for mercy under torture.
Once Jing Ming reveals the battle plan and arrangement... the consequences will be disastrous."
For a Servant, biting one's tongue and committing suicide is not an option.
The Assassin Order originally had a special poison designed to be used to commit suicide when captured by itself, but it was useless against Silent Hassan, so Curse Wrist's concerns were justified.
Most of the people resettled in East Village and West Village are non-combatant civilians.
The truly capable troops are hidden in various places in the mountains. Once their positions are exposed, they will be greeted by the Lion King's "Holy Judgment" attack.
The strike range of the Holy Judgment is comparable to that of an intercontinental missile, and its power is almost the same as that of a nuclear warhead. It has a strategic advantage that far exceeds that of ordinary treasures against cities or countries. This is the power of the gods.
Even Ren can't accurately intercept an intercontinental missile launched everywhere. At most, it can block the missiles that hit him.
"Then we must rescue 'Quiet' Hassan, otherwise, the goddess will eliminate them one by one without waiting for the army to gather!"
Da Vinci was still smiling, but his tone was quite serious.
It has the ability to target and blast at fixed points within the entire range of singularities, which is also one of the advantages of the Lion King.
The Pharaoh's great temple spared no effort in consuming magic power to maintain the defense of the external armor. Isn't it just to guard against the Lion King's "Holy Judgment" attack from a distance?
"It's okay to save people, but the enemy may think so too."
Arash suddenly interrupted, with a frown on his face, a look of solemnity and hesitation on his face.
"Everyone, I feel that the outpost is very strange. The future seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog. My clairvoyance has been seriously disturbed. Maybe it is a terrible trap!"
The big hero has A-level clairvoyance, which is the same as the Lion King.
Originally, he even glimpsed his own death, but he accepted it without fear... His perception cannot be ignored.
"Yes, when you mentioned that outpost, I had a frightening feeling, like an abyss swallowing life."
Fujimaru Ritsuka added in a deep voice.
His intuition told him that it was best not to go to that place.
His words caused everyone to fall silent for a moment, and they were all a little undecided.
"Ren, what do you think? It was you who proposed attacking that post. Don't tell me you didn't notice anything."
Da Vinci smiled and looked at Assassin who was as steady as an old dog beside him.
Guda and the school girl also subconsciously cast their sights over. Although they are not sure about the specific abilities, the people in Chaldea know that the soldier master has a very powerful magic eye.
At least it is at the gem level, and even the highest-ranking rainbow-level magic eye in the legend!
"How do I watch it? Of course I stand and watch it."
Ren rolled his eyes, and these teasing words made everyone's faces twitch slightly.
Da Vinci patted him hard on the shoulder: "We are talking about business, don't be careless!"
"Well, your feelings are all right. The Lion King may not engage in so many tricks and intrigues, but Morgan is different..."
Strictly speaking, the "Eye of Deception" is his most powerful and perverted Noble Phantasm. It not only has the function of EX level clairvoyance, but also some of Morgan's little moves cannot be hidden from him.
However, this is considered a conspiracy for him.
Ren drank a glass of white wine and his eyes became sharp:
"Now even if I try to break into the outpost alone, I will be dead end!"
What?!!
Everyone looked shocked.
Everyone knows more or less about Renn's strength.
He has defeated Nitocris and Tristan, can defeat Gawain three times, and even compete with the Lion King... to put it bluntly, if it were a one-on-one fight, he could defeat most of the people present.
However, he now said that if a person goes to the outpost alone, he will never return.
This is not an exaggeration. This is the probability deduced and analyzed by Renn using the "Eye of Breaking Delusion". If he goes to the post alone, there is a 73.61% probability of not coming back.
"Since there is a terrible trap there, of course we can't step on it foolishly, we can only give up silence."
Cursed Wrist Hassan sighed, and after weighing the pros and cons, he planned to reluctantly give up his companions.
There is nothing we can do about it. Even if we go together, if we lose a few servants, the consequences will be more serious than if the soldiers die.
"No, we have to go!"
Ren showed a wry smile and looked at the puzzled crowd and explained.
"If you don't go, Morgan will kill Touta Touta, use illusions or brainwashing and hypnosis magic to extract information from Quiet Hassan, and then the Lion King will use the Holy Inquisition to cleanse the ground...
Don’t be surprised, this is one of the possibilities in the future.”
The future is not static.
For example, his arrival changed the possibility of Arash and the Holy Judgment dying together. The great hero was also aware of this and mentioned it to him while hunting.
[Your arrival makes the future even more confusing...]
To a certain extent, it is very difficult to use conspiracies and tricks to harm Renn, and the probability of being detected is very high.
Of course, even EX clairvoyance has its limits and limitations.
C flash: Hahahaha... I am omniscient and omnipotent.
Ishtar: Woohoo...the Bull of Heaven is lost.
C flash: (●—●)
Ishtar: Woohoo... I am the goddess of waste.
Renn was no exception. He could not clearly observe the goddess in the Holy City, especially when she was using the Holy Spear.
That outpost didn't have as much interference as the Holy City, but Sister Wang was tantamount to "conspiracy" and forced him to choose one of the two.
If you don't save people, the decisive battle will be more difficult, and the probability of losing will increase. If you save people, you will now have to take huge risks.
The game between the two sides has begun!
"Then take action and save people."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said that he was extra calm and decisive at this critical moment.
"No, no, don't go. I'm going to rescue people. You can try to get some food during this time and then assemble the army.
As soon as I rescue people, I will launch a decisive battle!"
But Ren refused to go with the Chaldeans.
It's not that he doesn't want him to go, it's that he can't because Morgan is different from other enemies. She will focus on Guda.
He saw the possibility of many Gudas dying─that is, several Knights of the Round Table and Sister Wang wanted to kill him first at all costs.
Yes, you have to admit that Fujimaru Ritsuka is the biggest breakthrough.
It is obvious that Morgan has not been "intellectualized" and dares to go with her. Her strategy is to kill Gudong, even if it costs the lives of Gawain, Lancelot, and Xiao Mo, she will kill him!!
This witch is so ruthless and cunning that Ren gives her more headaches than the Lion King. At least the goddess is not so careless.
"..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to say something, but he held back.
Because his intuition told him that it was best not to go there. It seemed to be very unfriendly to him. The right choice was to listen to Assassin.
"But, senior, you are not..."
The school girl blinked her eyes, didn't you say that there is no return for a person?
A mysterious smile appeared on Ren's face:
"I only said I wouldn't let you go with me, but I didn't say I would go alone!"
Cursed Wrist Hassan, Arash, Mashu, Xiaobei and others all showed puzzled expressions.
Are there any other followers?
Renn stood up with a smile:
"Attack the outpost and summon powerful helpers, but don't forget the last sentence."
The future is not static.
Especially the many possibilities that can be seen with clairvoyance are for reference only. If you blindly believe in them, you will die miserably.
In the final analysis, clairvoyance is just a supplement, and it is still necessary for the subordinates to see the true meaning.
Moreover, Morgan is not the only one who often doesn't play his cards according to the rules.
"However, there is no suitable spiritual vein here, and the degree of distortion of time and space is too high. The ordinary summoning array of heroic spirits may not work at all."
Da Vinci suddenly understood.
However, she is not optimistic about the act of summoning other Servants to assist in the fist. Chaldea rarely performs heroic spirit summoning rituals at singular points, and usually relies on the power of those "wild servants" to join forces.
First, Chaldea's resources are very limited, and second, the success rate is not high.
"That's why we need this."
Ren grinned, and a blue swirling space opened.
Under everyone's gaze, a cup emitting bright light floated out.
Its golden outer wall looks like it is made of gold, and the magic power spilling out of the mouth of the cup is very terrifying. It is engraved with many mysterious and magnificent patterns and runes, making everyone unable to take their eyes away.
"Another...another Holy Grail?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's face twitched, and he felt like he was a bitch.
"Master, not one, but many."
The school girl pointed at the open space door. Behind the twisted space, the shadows of four or five Holy Grails could be vaguely seen.
Guda: "..."
da Vinci:"……"
Good guy, you've sold all the Holy Grails here, right?
'Big dog owner!'
Now even the profiteer Da Bichi couldn't bear it anymore. She still had the "Mona Lisa fake smile" on her face, and her gaze towards Assassin became more intense than ever before.
No, she must trick this big fat sheep into going to Chaldea, and then find ways to drain his family fortune.
"Furfur~Furfur~"
Even the three-eyed cat demon Fufu chirped several times, as if she was accusing this big dog owner.
Chaldean people have a somewhat explosive mentality.
Don't be surprised. Fortunately, they fought hard all the way to the sixth singularity point, but they may not have collected as many Holy Grails as Renn alone.
"Hey, who is he? He looks like a big shot."
Staring at the radiant Holy Grail, the archer Arash was also a little surprised and reached out to poke the cursed wrist on the side.
"Well, I don't know. I just know that the first generation of the Mountain Lord knows about him. Maybe he knows something about it."
Hassan, the cursed wrist, shook his head slightly. Anyway, he only knew that the first generation of adults looked at him differently, and he didn't know much about the rest.
On the other hand, Dr. Roman's projection sneered:
"Don't be surprised, there is nothing that Faker like him dares not imitate and pirate. I advise you not to show him any weapons or treasures, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."
How much integrity can you expect from a guy who regards weapons or even tools as his "concept" and is loved by mankind's sinful deeds?
He and Merlin were fine, but Gilgamesh probably wanted to skin him.
Everyone: "???"
weapon?
Matthew was the first to react and subconsciously glanced at the shield in his hand.
She has always held the shield in her hand, could it be...
The girl's eyes suddenly turned strange and hopeful when she looked at Assassin.
Ren seemed aware of it and smiled at her:
"Don't expect me to teach you how to use it, girl. This shield is indestructible only in your hands. Even my Seventh Heaven will be eclipsed."
The words of encouragement made the girl a little shy, but she could feel his sincerity.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The school girl’s dining table is also called the “Imaginary Shield”. Once she can fully unfold her precious weapon, she can use the Holy Spear, the Holy Sword, the Demon Sword, or even the God of Death.
Guns and Ea are both jokes.
But in Ren's hands, the "ideal shield" may not be as strong as the chrysanthemum shield.
This is a shield that looks at people and faces. Except for Galahad and the school girls, it may not be of much use in the hands of others.
So even if Ren copied this shield, he never used it to block the Lion King's holy spear before. It would just hit the street.
From now on, using it as a dining table for the Four Dais is the best way to use the shield.
"Who are you going to call for help? Have you even prepared the holy relics?"
Da Vinci didn't bother with the doctor's words, there was curiosity in his eyes.
To a certain extent, she created a miracle. She procured a real Noble Phantasm from the top-ranked Faker for free. She is the only heroic spirit who has taken advantage of the war master without paying any price.
Holy relic?
Her words made Guda, the school girl, Hassan the Cursed Wrist and Arash look a little curious on their faces.
The weapon master specially prepared to defeat the enemy must have summoned one or two very powerful heroic spirits.
"Keep it secret for the time being. The ceremony will be held tomorrow morning. Everyone, please rest."
A confident smile appeared on Ren's face, attracting everyone's attention.
To be honest, using the Holy Grail to forcefully summon helpers is a bit rogue.
But everyone just uses their own methods, and he is not the one who breaks the rules in the first place.
Besides, C Flash at the seventh singularity also used the Uruk Cup to summon a bunch of servants to support the "Absolute Warcraft Front".
Moreover, the witch Morgan is also ready.
Intrigues, opening up clairvoyance plug-ins, using the Holy Grail to shake people... The war at this singularity has long been escalating.
………
Saint Camelot.
The Chalk City is very prosperous, with tiled, mirror-clean streets, and rows of lush street trees with green leaves on both sides of the road.
The air is fresh, the pools and fountains are spraying water, and the fertile fields specially cultivated are golden and full of wheat ears...
From the perspective of environmental and material conditions alone, this is a well-deserved paradise.
The entire singularity can only be compared to the fertile land and splendid buildings surrounding the Great Temple of Ozymandias.
In comparison, East Village and West Village are really backwaters.
However, this did not make Mordred feel better.
Standing under the towering star-gazing tower, Xiao Mo looked angrily at Age Guiwen, who was guarding the door with an expressionless face:
"What are you doing? You summoned me back suddenly!
I scoured the deserted mountains for several days, and finally found clues about that group of rats. If you ask me to come back at this time, all my efforts will be in vain!"
After falling short, the naughty child became more and more angry as he thought about it.
"Those ordinary civilians are no longer relevant. As for the Chaldeans, even if they are found, you are no match for Ren.
Letting you come back will prevent you from dying outside and losing your fighting power."
Age Guiwen maintained his paralyzed face and explained.
"How do you know I can't beat him!"
The naughty boy bared his teeth in anger and his eyes were spitting fire.
Her expression was quite scary, but unfortunately, the paralyzed Age Guiwen was completely indifferent to Xiao Mo's fierce gaze:
"This is a fact. Are you better than Gao Wenqing?"
"I──"
Xiao Mo wants to be tough, but everyone knows the truth, and talking about it is useless.
Damn, damn, damn, damn...
Looking at Agguiwen's dead face, she wished she could immediately take off that dog head of Lei Shaien to prove herself.
"Are you just going to be a coward here? I admit that the Knight of the Round Table can suppress Gawain and is very powerful, but as long as I attack him from behind, I might be able to stab him to death with one sword."
The angry expression disappeared, and Xiao Mo suddenly smiled, like a child weighing a hundred pounds.
"..."
Tie Zhi Age's eyelids trembled and he was too lazy to pay attention to this retarded person.
Not long after, "Knight of the Lake" Lancelot, Sun Knight Gawain and Son of Sorrow Tristan also arrived.
All five Knights of the Round Table are present.
"Your Excellency, Auxiliary Officer, if you have summoned us for something, you are not overstepping your authority and commanding us, right?"
The Yangtze River Knight stared at Age Guiwen with a cold face, his displeasure written on his face.
Of course, the Knights of the Round Table are not monolithic. To say that those with the most intense conflicts must be Lancelot and Argues.
Ageguiwen didn't even raise his eyelids:
"A reckless man is a reckless man. The poor brains in your brain can only think about these childish and ridiculous contents."
"..."
Lancelot's face darkened, and he clenched his fists as if he wanted to hit someone.
Gawain held his shoulders and asked calmly:
"Agegui Wenqing, please tell us what you have to do when you summon us."
"The king feels that our strength is insufficient, so he asked his mother to use the Holy Grail to summon several heroic spirits to supplement our strength. Let's go together to witness it today. From now on, we will be considered our new colleagues."
The assistant officer said expressionlessly.
His words made several Knights of the Round Table frown.
"Summoning heroic spirits? How sad. It seems that our incompetence has disappointed the king, or it would be better to cut off the head to apologize."
Cui Sad sighed with his eyes closed.
There was still a smile on his face, but the smile looked very cold-blooded and cruel.
"..."
Gawain and Lancelot remained silent. To be honest, they didn't want to communicate with the Son of Sorrow now.
"Father, do you not trust us?"
Xiao Mo had a rebellious smile on her face, but no one paid attention to her, so she snorted.
"Summon heroic spirits? I want to see who they are. If they are just a few trash, let me kill them directly!"
