Macross Empire

If it was just Nero, Arturia still had the confidence to win, but the problem is that Nero is not a heroic spirit who acts alone, even if you don't mention Caster Medea, who has not seen him yet, just kill Berserkerland Sloat's Li Yuan is enough to make Artoria, who has witnessed his combat power, concentrate on it.

The worst thing is that the situation Artoria is facing now is not as good as the situation when she first encountered the battlefield a few hours ago-at least at that time, there were Archer, Rider, Lancer and other heroic spirits on the battlefield. It is entirely possible that Artoria will face a [-]v[-] situation, and there will be dragged down by Irisviel and others!

"Hee hee, King of Knights, don't worry!

Medea didn't come over, and Li Yuan also said that he would not intervene in the battle between us, this time your opponent is only Yu, let Yu see what the King of Knights in that small place is capable of! "

Seeing Artoria's vigilant look, Nero waved the primordial fire in his hand, and his tone was expectant.

Nero himself was summoned, and he didn't have any special wishes or ideals, but after hearing about the Holy Grail War and seeing Saber Artoria who was almost exactly like himself, he said that Nero did not have any special desires with Artoria. The idea of ​​competing and competing is deceptive.

In the previous words, Li Yuan's obstruction and the situation were different, so that Nero did not fight Artoria immediately, but now it is Nero who wants to fight Arturia.

"You bastard... eh?! Irisviel?! You... bastards! Let them go!!!"

Seeing Nero's arrogant speech, when Artoria was about to say something, she suddenly felt that the situation behind her was not right. Artoria turned her head and looked a little panicked to find that Alice, who had been following her all along, Phil, and those accompanying artificial maids disappeared suddenly? !

When Arturia saw Irisviel and the others, she found that they had already appeared on the platform at the top of the castle, and Li Yuan's guy in black and red armor was waving at her.

"The blue ones, 1vs1, if you beat me, you will be able to find them!"

Before Artoria tried to rush back to the castle to save her, Nero's words came with fierce sword wind and flames.

With the primordial fire in Nero's hand slashed down, Arturia could only face Nero's offensive first, and with a soft shout, she directly waved the sword of victory and oath to meet Nero...

……

When Arturia swung her sword at Nero, Aliceviel looked at her knight worriedly on the other side.

"Saber..."

Seeing the battle between Arturia and Nero, Irisviel looked nervous and worried, and then looked at Li Yuan, who was wearing biological armor but not holding the Fangtian painting halberd, and the already It was only after the artificial maids who fell to the ground that they plucked up the courage to ask Li Yuan: "Um... Li Yuan, what are you going to do? Are you threatening Saber with me?"

Alice Viel might lack common sense, but she wouldn't consider Li Yuan's actions as saving herself!

Now, in Irisviel's view, Li Yuan took her onto the platform abruptly, and now the most likely thing is "kidnapping threat", and it's threatening Saber who is fighting below!

"No, no, the Little Holy Grail of the Einzbern family, if I really want to fight, I can easily defeat the Saber below, without using hostages to threaten!"

As for Irisviel's words, Li Yuan, who just stretched out his fingers and subdued those android maids, pointed out Irisviel's true identity very politely, and then looked at Irisviel with pity Er, asked this silver-haired woman with red eyes who looked like an elf in a fairy tale: "Irisviel, I want to get rid of the fate of being the 'Little Holy Grail' and live a carefree life with my daughter Illya. live?"

Irisviel von Einzbern!

Strictly speaking, her identity is the same as that of the several artificial human maids around her. They are all the first patriarchs of the Einzbern family who participated in the "Holy Grail" system, the "Holy Maiden of Winter" Lizlech Justisa. An artificial human specially refined from von Einzbern's genes, not an ordinary natural human.

As the Einzbern family deliberately learned the lesson of the destruction of the Lesser Holy Grail in the Third Holy Grail War for the Fourth Holy Grail War, Irisfel von Einzbern was implanted with a special implant at the beginning of her birth. The Little Holy Grail composition technique, and behind it even being able to maintain the best mental and physical state, is that Emiya Kiritsugu joined the Einzbern family to become the Holy Grail War Master, and it only took nine years to get out of the amniotic fluid culture tank The sad situation!

For the Einzbern family, Irisviel is just a consumable "little Holy Grail", even if it is combined with Emiya Kiritsugu to give birth to Illya, but this time the Holy Grail War is no matter whether it is victory or not. Still the result of failure, as the "Little Holy Grail", Irisviel will definitely die.

The only difference is that the Einzbern family and Emiya Kiritsugu agreed that if they win the Holy Grail War, Illya, the daughter of Irisviel, can be taken away by him with the Holy Grail.And if it fails...whether it is Irisviel or Emiya Kiritsugu, don't think about seeing Illya again, she will be prepared by the Einzbern family as the next "Little Holy Grail"!

"You... what are you talking about? I don't quite understand..."

Hearing Li Yuan revealing her real identity and situation in one breath, Irisviel couldn't help but her complexion changed drastically, and then faltered and tried to force herself to be calm.

It is true that Irisviel was not stupid enough to admit Li Yuan's words directly, but that clumsy cover-up could not be hidden from anyone at all!

Looking at Irisviel's blushing and guilty appearance, anyone with a normal IQ at the same level would be able to tell something was wrong, let alone Li Yuan, who is familiar with the plot.

However, for Irisviel, this is probably the best way she can cover up...

"Ha... well, then let's wait for the next two to decide the winner, and then discuss this issue!"

Facing Irisviel's clumsy way of covering up, Li Yuan chuckled and looked down the platform.

In the open space of the castle below, Artoria and Nero, two kings who look too similar, are fighting more and more intensely...

……

When Li Yuan talked with Irisviel, the battle between Artoria and Nero was also in full swing!

"Clang! Clang!!!"

"Aha------!!!"

"Hula——"...

In the open space in front of the castle, the dark red primordial fire clashed with the invisible sword of victory and oath at high speed. The sounds of the two girls shouting coquettishly, the sound of weapons breaking through the air, and the crisp sound of metal colliding could be heard endlessly.

However, unlike ordinary swordsmen fighting, Artoria, who came as a Saber, and the orthodox Heroic Nero, both of them can be called the strong in the world of "Moon", the original fire and the victory and the oath In the confrontation between the swords, it is the comprehensive collision of the fighting skills and various conditions of the two heroic spirits.

In less than a minute after the fight, the aftermath and sword wind between the primordial fire and the sword of victory and oath turned the open space in front of the castle into ruins, and deep cracks spread all over the ground!

However, in the situation on the scene, there is no obvious trend of winning or losing, and no one on both sides is at a disadvantage!

According to the original plot of the Fourth Holy Grail, the attributes of Artoria are obviously higher than Nero, who is more suitable for the role of commander. Nero, who was famously promoted to a heroic spirit after his death, was no match for Artoria, known as the "King of Knights"!

Strict calculations, besides the agility and luck surpassing Arturia, Nero is inferior to Artoria in terms of muscular strength, durability, and magic power. However, the difference in the treasures held by the two sides is not big. , one has the A++-level treasures Victory and the Sword of the Oath, and the other has the A+ but is equivalent to the A++-level Primordial Flame.

In this comparison, it stands to reason that Nero should be inferior to Artoria. Unless he directly uses his own hole cards, in terms of swordsmanship, Nero, who claimed to be an "artist" during his lifetime, has the same title as the "King of Knights". The gap between Artoria's is not so big!

However, after Nero mastered [Swordsmanship (A+)] a temporary skill through Li Yuan's guidance, he overwhelmed Artoria in swordsmanship combat skills!

How strong is a sword skill (A+)?

Well, in the world of "Xingyue", the top of mortals is probably the ceiling of B+++. After deducting those immortal species such as true ancestors, even top magicians transform their bodies, or crazily exercise their bodies and challenge strong ones. The enemy's martial lunatics, those who have reached this level of physical fitness are all at the peak, in other words, they are the peak non-commissioned officers of the Star Empire!

The level of swordsmanship (A+) is equivalent to the first level of transcendence. In the fifth Holy Grail War plot, Sasaki Kojiro, who was illegally summoned by Medea, probably has the special skill [Swallow Return] at the A+ level.
