In fact, Artoria is now standing at the highest point of the palace.
Although she is still wearing the maid outfit, her eyes seem to have regained the coldness of the beginning.
She felt the final countdown.
When the giant turtle stops, the irresistible force will destroy everything, and Shen He's efforts these days will eventually become a waste.
Before that, she will sacrifice enough people, even herself and the Knights of the Round Table, to transfer the entire remaining kingdom to the gap in space.
This is Artoria's mission to this world.
"King." Tristan appeared behind her, "The people of Chaldea have left."
"I know." A very brief reply.
There was no emotion, and she did not ask where the Philosopher's Stone was.
But Artoria's heart was not as calm as it seemed.
In the end, no matter how fate changes, as long as she is still alone, will she always face the same end?
This is enough...
The Knight King stared at the sunset blocked by the giant turtle, waiting for the last opportunity to come.
One hour, two hours, three hours.
The giant turtle stopped, and Artoria raised her sword. Tristan and all the shadow knights stood straight, ready to follow their king to the last step.
However.
Ten minutes later...
the giant turtle started moving again.
"King."
Tristan looked at Artoria who kept raising her sword, and the sadness in his eyes was suppressed by an inexplicable funny look for a moment.
"It seems... it's not time yet."
Artoria's jade-like skin had a faint blush.
But he could only put down his sword honestly.
The giant turtle's forward speed slowly increased, and the heavy sense of crisis disappeared temporarily.
Just think that the giant turtle stopped to rest, or changed its mind temporarily...
If Artoria's eyesight was better, she might be able to see Shen He and Saiki Kusuo standing on the top of the giant turtle.
Shen He couldn't help sweating on his forehead.
He was standing on the head of the giant turtle at this moment, just like standing on a flat platform. When he was in close contact, he was more shocked than looking at it from a distance. The scales under his feet alone were almost more than ten square meters in size.
It is unknown how such a giant beast grew up. The entire Philosopher's Stone was completely consumed before it could be controlled.
Now the Holy Grail obtained from the Magical Index world has returned to its dull appearance.
"Continue to move towards the imperial capital." After leaving such an order, Shen He returned to Marvel.
The next day.
The city barrier system finally came to the time of activation.
The Ark Energy Center was placed under the palace, extending along the underground water system of the imperial capital to a distance of three times the radius outside the circular wall, divided into two layers, inner and outer.
Almost all the ministers in the entire imperial capital gathered in this underground space that took only three days to build.
Shen He observed and found that most of them were officials who defected from the empire to the revolutionary army.
In the end, it was these people who could adapt to the new order.
"Shen He." Altria's eyes were full of expectation, "Is it not ready yet?"
"The final calibration is being performed." Shen He explained, "It will probably take about an hour."
"It actually takes so long." Altria frowned and handed her hand to Shen He, "Give it here." "
What?" Shen He was stunned.
"Fried potato chips and carbonated drinks, don't say you're not prepared."
"......"
Shen He looked at the serious Altria speechlessly, but still took out the potato chips and cola honestly.
She just ate them without paying attention to others.
Unlike the white Daimo who likes delicious food, the black king in the black state enjoys junk food more. Even the food made by Erina Kiribi can't move her. Instead, she loves potato chips and cola.
But she hasn't changed much in this aspect of being a big eater.
And the black king is really cute after getting familiar with him.
"When the barrier is activated, it will almost give the people of the imperial capital a place to live." Shen He asked tentatively, "At that time, the oath will be considered as my victory."
"Yeah."
Altria just responded, still eating potato chips in big mouthfuls.
"Then can you consider what I said before?" Shen He simply got straight to the point, "I want to be your master."
Altria paused for a moment while holding the potato chips.
Then she pretended to be calm and took a big sip of cola.
"Not going to give me a reply?"
Shen He moved a few steps and stood directly in front of her. After
this period of contact, he has gotten familiar with the character of the Black King.
Although she looks cold, stern, and stubborn, once you get really familiar with her, you will see her lovely side. For example, now, even though her face is flushed, she still forces herself to put on a cold look as if she doesn't want to talk to me.
Shen He stopped talking and just stared into her eyes.
One minute, five minutes, ten minutes.
"The crisis is far from over." Artoria finally couldn't help but look away, "At least we have to defeat the world-destroying beast, and... Of course, I will also help within the possible scope."
"What about after the complete victory?" Shen He continued to pursue the victory.
"..." Artoria was silent for a while, but stared at Shen He again, "If you can really do it, then talk to her about the rest."
She...
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen He's eyes.
Of course, he knew who "she" Altria was referring to. He had already concluded that the Black King in front of him was one with the White Dai Mao Wang.
They shared memories, and the only difference was in the concept. Originally, the Black King was the "ideal king" state buried deep in the heart of the White Dai Mao Wang because of his dissatisfaction with himself.
This hint of surprise was captured by Altria.
She lowered her eyes slightly. She
was still playing with potato chips in her mouth.
Shen He then talked about a lot of topics, such as some fun places in modern society, but Altria only occasionally replied, and seemed not very interested.
Finally, Tony completed the final inspection.
"Xiao Lan, open all the barriers in all directions!" Shen He raised his voice and issued an order that made everyone nervous.
"Confirm the authority, sir."
After Xiao Lan replied, invisible barriers quickly spread from the periphery of the imperial capital, connecting into one, completely enveloping the entire imperial capital and a large area of the battlefield.
The dangerous species rushed to the barrier. They stretched their bodies into the barrier, but were cut off mercilessly, leaving a burning cut.
Only a very small number of them could break through the barrier with their hard shells.
But this has greatly reduced the pressure on the army.
So.
Deafening cheers began.
Even without the need to issue orders, all the soldiers charged excitedly and frantically killed the dangerous species remaining in the barrier.
The seven consecutive days of fighting, as if there was endless despair, were hysterically vented at this moment.
It was not just the soldiers who were excited.
It also included the people in the imperial capital. The corrupt and brutal nobles were killed, and now even the rioting dangerous species were successfully stopped. The new order has been established, and the joy of surviving the disaster and the yearning for the future filled everyone's heart.
This carnival scene was transmitted to Shen He through the virtual screen.
The ministers were also excited.
"Success."
"That's great!"
"Your Majesty, you should immediately appease the people, eliminate the dangerous species, and organize the repair of the damaged city walls and buildings."
Most of the ministers still looked at the little emperor, but the little emperor looked at Artoria timidly.
"Why are you looking at me?" Artoria scolded, "Your Prime Minister is Lan."
"Yes." The little emperor shrank his neck in fear.
Obviously, Artoria left a deep psychological shadow.
"Tsk tsk." Shen He smacked his lips, "If you were to discipline Mordred, she would definitely not rebel."
"..." Artoria turned her head and looked at Shen He, "This is also one of her dissatisfactions with herself."
"Yes, is that so." Shen He suddenly felt that her eyes were a little too serious.
"Although she and I are in opposition, I am the only one who knows her best because of this. That guy has unnecessary self-esteem, a strong personality and doesn't know how to rely on others. She is as ignorant as a girl about love..."
Altria seemed to open up and started talking to Shen He about the White Dai Mao Wang. Although most of her words were in a scolding tone, Shen He's expression became more and more strange.
It seems like she is teaching others how to attack her.
However, these are the key points and should be written down in a small notebook.
With the deployment of the city barrier, the imperial capital finally calmed down for a while after days of fighting, but the entire imperial capital was still filled with a strong smell of blood, and there were dangerous species that continued to gather outside the barrier, as well as the gradually approaching behemoth, as if reminding everyone that the crisis has not been resolved.
However, the rest of the things have little to do with ordinary people.
Tony's theory has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts during this period of time. Everyone believes that it is inevitable for Chaldea to get rid of this behemoth.
The second day after the city barrier was built.
The approaching giant turtle finally blocked the sunrise of the entire imperial capital.
This is a towering mountain standing in front of the imperial capital. When it approaches, all dangerous species, even some super dangerous species, are scattered, leaving only a few flying species that can still hover in the air.
Artoria sat quietly in the palace for a night, and when Shen He appeared, she slowly stood up.
"The final battle has begun."
"Yes, yes." Shen He said seriously, holding back a smile, "Are you going to go with me?"
"I'm not a pedantic person." Artoria has already put on her armor, "Since you have shown me a miracle, then we must naturally do our best to grasp hope in our hands, but...how confident are you?"
