Although Shen He guessed everything.
But he still had no idea in his heart.
"There is no need to go to that step." Shen He decided to fight for it. "Leave the crisis of this world to us to solve. We have the strength to do so."
"I have failed once." Altria stood up slowly. "I will not fail a second time. If you want to stop me, there is only war."
The real Altria had never fallen into evil even once in her life, but in her heart, confusion and entanglement, dissatisfaction with herself, sigh for justice, and regret for the end of Britain still existed.
In front of Shen He, this blackened posture can also be said to be derived from the erosion of regret.
"No matter what, you have to choose to escape?" Shen He frowned.
Although he understood that if he wanted to change the beliefs of the heroes, it would be useless even if he put a knife on their necks, because this was almost the essence of their existence.
But if they really fought, the consequences would be terrible.
"..."
Altria just remained silent.
She was ready to fight.
Shen He's mind was spinning rapidly, and he felt that he was facing a difficult choice.
If you intervene, you can only kill Artoria.
If you don't intervene, you can only watch her kill most of the civilians.
Only in a bad game like reality will there be only the option of badend.
Where is the third option?
"This Holy Grail must be sacrificed to the people? Will it be useful to hunt dangerous species?" Shen He asked. "
Impossible." Artoria had a blank expression, "What it really needs is the life force wrapped in resentment."
"Then let people's resentment and the life force of dangerous species combine..."
"If there is any other way." Artoria interrupted Shen He directly, "I won't appear."
"..."
Shen He was a little irritated.
The first to come to this world was the White Dai Mao Wang, which must have tried all the ways that could be thought of. In the end, there was only one way left, which was to sacrifice civilians and use the power of the Black Holy Grail, so she would turn black.
The scene was silent.
The sound of vibrations continued to come from the earth. Judging from the frequency, the giant turtle's movements can be called slow.
But considering the size of the individual, he didn't have much time left.
"It seems that there is no way."
Shen He sighed slowly, and the imperial short sword appeared in his hand.
"Although I like you very much, my wish is to save the world."
No matter how much he regretted it, Shen He could not let her slaughter lives. There are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed at will.
"Master." Saiki Kusuo suddenly spoke from behind, "Are there no tools you can use?"
Props...
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Shen He's mind.
The life force wrapped in resentment.
A crystal stone of medium size suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.
In just a moment of appearance, it seemed to be alive, jumping wildly in the palm of Shen He's hand, and dark black mud poured out of it.
Shen He quickly put it back into his backpack.
"What is that!?"
Altria's cold expression also showed a slight tremor.
The Holy Grail in her chest also became agitated just now.
The rich black mud remaining in the air was all absorbed by the Holy Grail.
"The Philosopher's Stone..." Shen He breathed a sigh of relief. "We got it in a certain world. It is said that it was made from an unknown number of humans. It is not only the souls that burst out with resentment, hatred, and anger at that moment, but also the flesh. It should fully meet the needs of the Holy Grail."
If it weren't for Saiki Kusuo's reminder, I would have completely forgotten that there was such a thing.
In fact, many props in the backpack that could not be used for a while were placed in the corner and forgotten, such as the huge object.
"I need that."
Altria did not hesitate too much. She stared at Shen He's palm and showed a nervous look for the first time.
If she didn't know that Shen He and others could leave instantly, she would have grabbed it directly.
That thing can replace a lot of people.
In order to ensure that the world is saved, she can massacre people with tyranny, but this does not mean that she does not value people's lives. Every time she kills an innocent person, she will bear a heavy sorrow.
"In that case, let's make a deal." Shen He smiled confidently, "The people of the imperial capital don't have to participate in the war. I only ask you to wait until we try to save them before taking action. If we fail, we will give you the Philosopher's Stone and we will not stop you from doing anything."
"..."
Altria stared at the young man in front of her, as if she wanted to see through him completely.
"Is it worth it for you to do this?"
"I don't know if it's worth it..." Shen He's smile became brighter and brighter, "But protecting the world is my job."
The smile on his face at this moment was just like his mood.
Since the establishment of Chaldea, the words "protecting the world" have always been on his lips. After saying it for a long time, he has unconsciously developed a sense of responsibility and accomplishment.
Just as Shen He said to Semiramis.
He can feel the surge of his heart and enjoy the excitement of life from such a purpose.
What's more, he truly regards Chaldea as his own career, not a lie he said casually.
"Maybe... you will become close friends with another me."
Atorlia looked at Shen He's smile, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, but she quickly raised the long sword in her hand.
"Everything is as you said. In the name of King Arthur, I will swear an oath with you with this sword."
"Wait a minute, I have another additional condition." Although Shen He also held the dagger, he did not raise it, but looked up and down at the other party, "I require you to change into a maid outfit in front of me."
"——!"
Altria's expression froze for a moment, as if she thought she had heard it wrong.
But seeing Shen He's teasing expression, she widened her eyes and moved her lips.
"You, you dare..."
"It doesn't matter." Shen He smiled nonchalantly, "Anyway, you are an unjust king who can even enforce tyranny. Do you care about this image problem?"
".....As you wish!" Altria almost gritted her teeth and said these words.
镪——!
The long sword and the short knife made a crisp collision sound.
This means that the Chaldean forces have officially formed an alliance with Altria and the imperial capital controlled by her.
Meanwhile, Tony on the other side also rushed to the location of the Revolutionary Army with Night Raid and others.
The distance is not far.
Because Najeshitan is more worried about the situation over there, Tony, who can fly, flies alone at the forefront, directly entering supersonic speed, leaving most of the flying dangerous species behind.
"Sir, human traces are detected below." Jarvis gave a prompt, and at the same time synchronized the scanned image to the screen.
"Looking at this costume, it should be the advance troops of the Revolutionary Army."
Tony stopped moving forward, flew directly down, and landed among the people who were fighting hard with the dangerous species.
Boom boom boom——!
More than a dozen small missiles flew out from the shoulders of the armor, accurately hitting the weaknesses of each dangerous species.
These advance troops hid in a natural crevice between rocks, and only a few small dangerous species could rush in. Most of them were roaring outside, but they were unwilling to leave.
"Is this... a battle armor-type imperial weapon?"
Although they were saved, the revolutionary army still looked at Tony with vigilance. The leader was also an imperial weapon user, holding two imperial weapons that looked like axes.
"Imperial weapon? Of course not, this is the battle armor I made." Tony looked at the group of people, "Today is your lucky day, you met me, and reinforcements will arrive soon."
"Reinforcements?" The group of people looked at each other.
"Yes, it is... our Chaldea." Tony wanted to say a night attack, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly changed his mind, "Do you see that big guy over there? It will destroy everything, whether it is the Empire or your revolutionary army, only our Chaldea can defeat it, because we have been preparing for this for a long time."
Maybe because he has been with Shen He for a long time, Tony can also say such fooling words without hesitation.
In fact, he was thinking about another thing.
Although according to Shen He's explanation, he planned to control the revolutionary army with violence, it was actually unnecessary. The revolutionary army simply did not have the power to protect the people or even themselves.
Chaldea did.
In the face of survival, the ambitions and desires for interests of most people have to stand aside.
And those who are restless can wait until they take the initiative and then slowly clean up.
"Is this... true?"
The people in front of him also began to get excited.
Just as Tony expected.
Even if he has not yet shown the strength to save, but in despair, a person suddenly becomes full of confidence, and that can easily become the life-saving straw for everyone and take the initiative.
"Of course it's true." Tony continued, "When the empire harmed the people, although we were heartbroken, we could only endure it, because we still have a greater mission. Now, we not only save the people from the hands of the dangerous species, but also change the empire. Who of you is willing to lead the way for me to protect the soldiers and people of the revolutionary army..."
So, when Najeshitan and others took the flying dangerous species to the headquarters of the revolutionary army, they saw this scene.
Tony was standing on the high platform, using a loudspeaker to tell a group of soldiers the story that Chaldea and the giant turtle dangerous species had to tell a thousand years ago.
As a billionaire who is used to being the focus, Tony's speech is undoubtedly very contagious.
As a modern man, with the help of Jarvis, he could easily make up a vivid, touching and convincing story.
Even if there were people who raised doubts, he could easily refute them.
In the end.
Just relying on a little brainwashing skills and humorous personal charm, he made most people remember the name of Chaldea and regarded Chaldea as the savior in the desperate situation.
When hundreds of millions of people cheered for the man in the armor and shouted the name of Chaldea, Najeshitan didn't know what expression to use to express her feelings at the moment.
Because even she herself couldn't help but be grateful to Tony in front of her.
Those who might be killed were her companions.
"Now, our companions are here." Tony also saw Accelerator and others, "All troops are ready! We will lead and protect you, defeat the dangerous species, and go to the imperial capital!"
Warm cheers rang out.
When a "trend" that most people believe in is formed, it will become extremely tough.
Even those generals of the Revolutionary Army would be beaten to a pulp if they chose to fight against the "trend" at this time.
Therefore, Accelerator, who was ready to kill a lot, could only watch all the Revolutionary Army set off with one heart.
When Shen He learned about all this, he had to admire Tony.
Even if he were to do such a thing, he couldn't do it better than Tony. He would definitely kill a few people to cheer him up.
In this case, let Tony play freely over there.
Shen He was standing on the wall that had stood for a thousand years, looking at the increasing number of dangerous species outside the wall.
Even if the giant turtle that seemed to be in the sky did not arrive so quickly, these dangerous species alone were enough to threaten the safety of the entire imperial capital.
The problem now was
time.
With Chaldea, no matter how many dangerous species there were, they could be defended, but Chaldea could not stay here forever.
Even if a primary delay card was used, there was less than an hour left.
"Jeanne, how long will it take you to arrive?" Shen He contacted Jeanne who had already joined Esdeath.
"The army is advancing very slowly, and we still have civilians." Jeanne glanced at the tens of thousands of people behind her, "plus the attack of dangerous species, even if we travel overnight, we will not arrive in the imperial capital until tomorrow."
"Tomorrow... is too late."
Shen He used all the delay cards in his hand, and could only delay until tomorrow.
It was even more impossible to expect to wipe out all the dangerous species.
In this world, strictly speaking, dangerous species are the real overlords, occupying more than 90% of the land, almost endless.
"Sir, do you need help?"
A voice suddenly came from the side. Shen He turned around and found a young man who was dressed fashionably, handsome and elegant.
The Imperial Tool Master, Lan.
He should have surrendered to Artoria, why is he here?
"This is the king's instruction." As if he understood Shen He's question, Lan bowed elegantly, "The king's original words are that as long as the soldiers and people do not leave the city to fight, the rest is up to you."
"She said that?" Shen He raised his eyebrows.
I didn't expect that Artoria also had the potential to be a tsundere. After all, in the oath, the entire imperial capital did not need help.
"In this case..." After getting a positive reply, Shen He was not vague, "You bring all the Imperial Tool Masters in the imperial capital at the moment, and all the Imperial Tool in the storage room."
Even if they rely on those Imperial Tool Masters and Imperial Tool, if they are well organized, they should be able to delay until Esdeath's army arrives. At the very least, they should be able to save the time of using the delay card.
Lan obeyed the order, and he used his own imperial weapon, Ten Thousand Miles Flying Mostima, and a pair of white wings appeared behind him, and he flew into the imperial capital.
Shen He was a little envious.
Of course, he was not envious of his handsome and unrestrained posture.
Although he could also jump high into the sky with the help of the Moon Marrow Spiritual Fluid, it was not handsome at all, no, it was not convenient at all.
