Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

44. Howling brightly

To put it bluntly, Lu Mingfei has actually seen a lot of big scenes so far.

The Chaldean Explosion, the Mad God Hercules, the Prometheus Secret Man-Eating Cannon, Olga Marie's Star Magic, King Arthur's Star-Severing Magic Sword.

But the shock shown to him by the Holy King, Emperor Karl, was something completely different.

Lu Mingfei was actually very good at killing. Thanks to the abundant magic power and the spiritual foundation of Marda in his heyday, he was like playing a game of mowing warriors among the dragons. His desperate actions in the past seemed like Very far away.

But reality is not a Mowing Warriors game after all, and the condition for passing this level is not the cumulative number of kills, but the success of sending more than 15 million refugees to a safe place.

No matter how powerful Lu Mingfei and other heroic spirits were in killing, and no matter how the number of kills increased crazily, they still could not catch up with the rising speed of the dragon race shown on the system interface of Emperor Karl.

A few powerful individuals cannot stop the invasion of groups. Not to mention that Lu Mingfei does not have a Noble Phantasm that has the effect of large-scale annihilation. Even if it is an anti-army Noble Phantasm or an anti-city Noble Phantasm, facing the dragon swarm and the insect swarm, A similar tide of beasts, the effect is still limited.

To put it bluntly, this is not only because of the large number of enemies, but also because the land of France is so big. Fuyuki City was only a small area after all. No matter how fierce the fight was, it was still essentially a one-on-one duel between a few legendary heroes.

In such a vast territory, it is enough to cover the evacuation of so many helpless people and face the tsunami of dragons, whether in reality or the densely packed red dots on the system map. It's mentally suffocating.

This was not a battle that took place in Fuyuki's tiny land.

It is a true Patriotic War.

During the most difficult period of the Great Patriotic War, the people just fled in panic, retreating all the way to the west, but they didn't know where they were going or where they could escape.

In fact, dragons began to appear even in the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Although France was big, it seemed to have become an isolated island.

The fierce fighting of the legions, the strength of the heroic spirits, and more and more wild heroic spirits joining the battle could not conceal the despair in the overall battle situation.

There are many people who are overwhelmed by despair, including the mob of more than 20,000 people who were massacred. Lu Mingfei was a little hesitant at first, but the interesting thing about Emperor Carl's Noble Phantasm is that it can automatically analyze the way out. Mingfei didn't immediately. The result of killing these people.

If these mobs are not slaughtered, then they will extend their butcher's knife to more innocent people, madness and despair will spread, and then there will be an avalanche of spiritual will.

During the wars of the old era, only a few people died on the battlefield. Most of the casualties came from the "chaos" caused by the war.

【Commander Lucifer】

[Don’t execute these crazy people immediately]

[It is expected that at least one million refugees will die in one hour]

Emperor Karl's Noble Phantasm - 'Mobile Holy Capital' is really an interesting thing.

Most of the Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits are equivalent to their plug-ins, and Emperor Karl's Mobile Holy City is completely different from other people's paintings. It reads as a Noble Phantasm, but when it is actually used, Lu Mingfei actually thinks of the Qidian online novel in the early years. In early Taneda-style novels, most of the protagonists carry around a base system from a real-time strategy game as a plug-in.

The existence of this Noble Phantasm directly led to Emperor Karl's completely different perspective on the world.

Others play adventure.

But the war fought by the emperor.

And it's really like those base plug-ins, the steel fortress that is enough to surround half of the French territory has really grown up out of thin air.

Is this all the reason why the heroic spirits and legions are stalling for time?

This is just the beginning.

The huge steel city wall blocked the dragon beasts on the ground, and what the flying dragons in the sky collided with were more than a thousand large and small floating fortresses rising into the sky with the roar of jet engines.

The first thing that greeted the flying dragon was the huge defensive barrier covering most of France——

This is a super large-scale ritual magic that reproduces the concept of "Saint Giorgios, the patron saint of the country and territory", and constitutes [St. George's Sanctuary].

Immediately afterwards, the roar of the sentry guns on the floating fortress was like a storm, bringing millions of rounds of bullets. It seemed that they had been specially designed and prepared for a long time. The main function of these projectiles was not to pursue lethality, but to shoot quickly. Tear apart the wings of the flying dragons.

The flying dragons fell in pieces. After losing their wings, gravity was the most vicious trap that killed them.

Relatively speaking, before the flying dragons continue to evolve, the dragon beasts on the ground are the greatest threat compared to the sky. The current level of the aerial fortress is not enough to provide effective ground defense.

Although the door was open, and with almost brainwashing belief and worship, most people entered the walls of the Holy Capital in an orderly manner, but how could all 15 million people get in so quickly?

And as time went by, some people naturally made trouble, some wanted to push forward, and some mothers held babies in their arms hoping to go in first with their children. This reasonable request naturally received responses from many people, and then?

Then some thugs began to grab the children and push them forward.

Fortunately, the Holy King has loyal necessary evil troops. These loyal guards, who are all equipped with Holy City armor and have gained the ability to fly with mechanical metal wings, will kill the thugs as soon as possible and kill them without mercy. The children, mothers and even the elderly all rushed back to the team.

Maintain stability with absolute iron-bloodedness and brutality.

To avoid the trouble caused by corpses, every mob member executed was burned to ashes at the first opportunity.

Those who cry and make trouble face only the butcher's knife without mercy. For the Holy King himself, perhaps this is his "equal" compassion and fraternity that treats everyone equally, right?

Human life is just a number in his eyes.

In fact, as long as it is ruthless enough and no one makes trouble, the vast majority of people can survive.

People are afraid, not even of death itself, but of the unknown anxiety that chases them behind them.

The group of Mechas that started from the wall, freed themselves from the identity of decorative sculptures, stood up and rushed towards the herd, are inspiring and a symbol of hope for people.

The total number is 3,333, each of which is over twenty meters tall.

With extremely reasonable tactical arrangements, when the refugees lining up to enter the wall gathered together, the dragons also naturally gathered together.

After all, the real world does not have the same problem of model crossing as in the game world. Even if the total number of enemies is infinite, there are only so many enemies that can be faced in a limited space.

The four legions of the Holy King are like this. With the assistance of the heroic spirits and the commander's remote micro-control, they fight, withdraw and shrink the defense line. From time to time, they engage in local annihilation battles with more hits and fewer, and quickly evacuate in the middle of the fight. .

The one who can do this is naturally Lu Mingfei.

Not to mention Charlemagne, even the Holy King himself, as the holder of the Noble Phantasm, was a little dumbfounded. He had actually been prepared that the four troops he had been stationed for a long time would suffer heavy losses in this battle, but after Under Lu Mingfei's mind-numbing tactical command, the battle losses of the four legions have actually been less than 2% so far.

Lu Mingfei gave full play to the tactical effect of the noble phantoms of the heroic spirits. With the support of the mobile holy capital, the heroic spirits of all his own units can receive unlimited magic power supply from the holy capital center. Lu Mingfei pinched the cooldown time of the noble phantoms little by little. , whenever partial annihilation fails during retreat and the formation is about to be dispersed, the heroic spirits who obey the command will release their Noble Phantasms to temporarily clear the area.

There are two people who are generous and glorious in this process.

One is Siegfried. Siegfried is the most famous dragon-slaying warrior in Europe. The evil dragon blood Kai on his body can effectively resist damage. He also has a skill called [Dragon Slayer A+]. This skill allows him to When facing dragon enemies, it can have ridiculously high defense power.

In addition, besides being powerful, the most important thing for Siegfried is to be obedient - extremely obedient, so obedient that it even makes Lu Mingfei feel like he is controlling the heroic units in "Warcraft", pointing out Where to hit, tell the truth.

The other person is the petite dragon slayer girl, Wendy.

Lu Mingfei had already helped Wendy register under the Holy King's command. With the unlimited supply of magic power from the Holy Capital Center, she had now become an angel in the eyes of the Fourth Army to which she was heading.

"The speed of racing through the sky - [Speeding Wind (Burner)]!"

"The power that tears the sky apart - [Arms]!"

"The tenacity to withstand the sky - [Armor]!"

Agility is greatly improved! Muscle strength is greatly improved! Durability greatly improved!

What’s more, it’s a collective bonus halo!

Where Wendy is, every soldier of the entire Fourth Army has been transformed into a humanoid heroic soldier by her, and she herself can rely on infinite magic power to continuously use the Noble Phantasm [Roar of the Sky Dragon] to spit out dragon breath in the form of a hurricane. attack.

Lu Mingfei was originally with the Fourth Army, so he asked her to come here because he was worried about the girl's strength. After all, Wendy is often regarded as the second mascot after Lucy in "Fairy Tail".

Unexpectedly, with this unlimited supply of magic power, it would become the most powerful war machine.

The overall combat effectiveness of the Fourth Army even exceeded that of the 123rd Army, which was headed by Giorgios, Joan of Arc, and Siegfried respectively.

Thanks to their activity, Lu Mingfei was able to stand in a pure God's perspective commander position most of the time, except for occasionally rushing to deal with a few particularly powerful dragon beast individuals.

It is precisely because of this that the legion's battle losses can be suppressed to the limit.

In fact, if Lu Mingfei were to direct the whole process, he might not be able to do so well, but the operation interface of this mobile Holy Capital Noble Phantasm is too much like a real-time strategy game.

Apart from anything else, Emperor Carl really believed that he was Lucifer - after all, in mythology, Lucifer's position before his fall was the commander of one-third of the angels.

When the battle line shrunk to the limit, the activated mecha troops used their bodies to form the final line of defense.

The huge war machine is not only inspiring, but also extremely effective. Although a single individual can smash one of them with one punch if they face the current Lu Mingfei, but in this large-scale war, their existence is different. are all crucial.

The crowd entered the wall in an orderly manner.

During this process, in order to protect the people and the legion, battle damage to the organic gods began to appear one after another.

For the soldiers, the retreat lasted a full hour that lasted like a year.

The will of all soldiers and generals was stretched to the limit. Then, when the evacuation of 15 million people was completed in an orderly manner,

——The final step in the retreat battle

Then, arrange the evacuation of the legions.

This battle is the most troublesome, because as the retreat progress bar continues to increase, the combat effectiveness of resisting the dragons will continue to decrease.

The most important thing is that at this time, it is no longer possible to concentrate local superior firepower to annihilate the dragon group. In other words, the growth of the total number of dragon groups will reach a blowout level.

In just a few minutes, Lu Mingfei, who was still paying attention to the total number of dragons, quickly gave up.

Because it makes no sense.

The Mechas are the protective wall for these warriors, but although their huge bodies are reliable, they are inevitably slow, and dragons will always slip through.

And these dragons didn't just go through with A. When the air front was blocked by protective shields and floating fortresses, the cunning flying dragons began to use damaging tricks. They actually started to use "airdrops", from dropping dragon beasts to Throw down damaged buildings and even explosive dragon egg-like things.

In less than half a day, has the war actually evolved to this point?

Lu Mingfei grabbed a giant dragon and swung it like a meteor hammer with brute force. Hundreds of dragon beasts were crushed by the weight of the dragon. But as the battle damage of the machine gods became more and more serious, Lu Mingfei Ming Fei could vaguely see the figure of a giant dragon that resembled a humanoid in the distance.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath. He felt a little like he was playing the final battle level of defending the world tree in "Warcraft 3", or the defending temple and the ultimate dark level in "StarCraft".

In game terms, Emperor Karl obviously added a large number of technology points to the aerial defense line. Naturally, this action cannot be said to be wrong. After all, once the air is missed, the entire defense line can only consider retreating underground.

Although the Mechas look mighty, they are not real Mechas in the end, they are just relatively huge mass-produced Graeme dolls.

The Holy King kept turning over his trump cards, but the result was that the enemy's technology tree was climbing crazily, the troops were rapidly upgraded and updated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the tactics were being forced to the limit.

Let’s not mention what Prelati is doing secretly at this time.

Lu Mingfei faced the battle situation in front of him

"If the Emperor doesn't have any more trump cards, we can only seize the time to release the Noble Phantasm together and let the soldiers escape as much as possible. I hope these insect swarms don't fight to break down their resistance. Out."

After all, Siegfried's Demonic Sword Liberation is only an anti-army Noble Phantasm, and its destruction range is still much lower. If there is a city-defense Noble Phantasm now, there may be more room for operation.

As a commander, this is the limit of what Lu Mingfei can do.

Will there be any turning point?

☆

The fortified city of Marseille.

Charlemagne looked at the Holy King's back facing countless screens, constantly issuing instructions and judgments.

Although he was not Lu Mingfei and could not understand this, as another Holy King, he was able to detect some emotional changes in the other person at such a close distance when looking at the other person.

Theoretically speaking, the Holy King could also detect Charlemagne's emotional changes, but the Holy King strongly unilaterally rejected himself as the Fantasy Paladin Emperor, so it became one-sided.

The Holy King stared at the numbers of battle casualties.

Charlemagne could feel the astonishment of the Holy King. He was shocked that the number was far lower than he imagined. And... was he happy?

He said nothing.

But it seems to be saying: "It's great that everyone can survive."

And - some determination.

The emperor pulled out his holy sword, Jiavayus.

It has the same name as the Holy Knight Emperor's Noble Phantasm, but it does not have those fancy colored crayon-like light pollution special effects, instead it is composed of calm black and noble gold.

moment.

Like an illusion, the figure of the Holy King in front of Charlemagne appeared to be blurry and fleeting, as if it were malfunctioning.

Like an old TV showing signs of poor signal.

It was like the Holy King's spiritual foundation was shaken for a moment.

Charlemagne could feel that the other party was suffering from some kind of pain.

"Wait a moment!"

Charlemagne's eyes widened!

"I just felt like something was wrong. I seemed to have forgotten something - the influence of despair! Why were those soldiers not affected by despair at all? Even the refugees had simple psychological problems and were not eroded by the breath of despair. You, the Great Emperor, are you?"

Charlemagne himself found this unbelievable when he said it.

"Are you alone responsible for the despair of fifteen million people in France?"

". Yu is my father, so I should naturally bear all this."

The Holy King did not look back, but inserted the Holy Sword like a key into the control center of the Holy City beneath his feet.

A certain switch was activated, and then, the Holy King's voice spread throughout France!

"Gentlemen, I have seen all your efforts. In the end, I will give you the thunderous applause!"

Noble Phantasm·Maximum Power·Start!

“Carolus Patricius Auctoritas!!!!”

Lu Mingfei, who was about to give the order to collectively liberate the Noble Phantasm to buy time, felt the vibration of the Holy City wall under his feet. Amidst the movement like the ground shaking, countless honeycomb-like holes appeared on the surface of the city wall.

The next moment, along with the roar of the Holy King, countless light groups rose into the sky. Lu Mingfei didn't know what their nature was and could only describe what he saw with his naked eyes.

No matter how you look at it, those things look like missile warheads in the air.

Lu Mingfei didn't have the energy to calculate how long the Great Wall spread out in the Moving Holy Capital.

However, as the 3,333 sacred power missiles took off and bloomed, the darkness that shrouded the entire France seemed to be dispersed by this light.

The flash of the explosion, accompanied by the shock wave sweeping across France, was the roaring light.

A vacuum suddenly appeared in the millions of dragons that covered the sky with darkness——

←to be continued!

Missiles and floating fortress groups were not added by me, but were included in the original setting of Emperor Carl in Fate.

By the way, there are about 400 words added at the end of this chapter. It is recommended to refresh and read again.

By the way, I have no intention of whitewashing myself. The Holy King has this kind of character. People who play strategic games-especially those who slaughter cities and destroy stars at every turn may understand the cruelty of the Holy King. This kind of mentality that goes hand in hand with compassion, right?
