Chapter 448: Sighisoara in the Gathering of Storms: Rebellion
Chapter 449: Sighisoara: The Sword of Rebellion
The arrow shot out did not deviate from the route that was originally planned, but it did not achieve the expected results. Black Archer put down his bow and began to load the next arrow.
"Did it succeed?"
Hearing the question from his master Fiore, Chiron shook his head.
"No, unfortunately, Saber of the red side dodged the attack just now. She is really the best job."
The clock tower is a famous attraction in Sighisoara. Its height of 64 meters is also the highest in the city. While overlooking the entire city, it can also be seen from anywhere on the street.
The central spire is surrounded by four small towers. The two stood above its corridor, in a narrow place that could not even be called a foothold. Ordinary people could not stand steadily for even a few seconds. However, Chiron relied on his natural sense of balance to walk on it as if it were flat ground. Considering his skills, this is not surprising.
The problem lies with his master, Fiore. Due to the deteriorated magic circuit, her feet are paralyzed. She can't stand normally and has been sitting in a wheelchair. The space above the corridor was not wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair. But she had her own foothold - to be precise, she was not standing.
The girl's feet floated in the air, and two long metal arms extended from her back to the ground, supporting her body.
The black archers, Fiore and Chiron.
They were the black team members that Shuoyue found with the help of tuning magic. In addition to them and Lingxia, there was another magician waiting for an opportunity, but he was useless at this time without a servant.
"Master, Red Saber has noticed us."
"Since the information of the Judge is correct and the battle has been carried out one step ahead, then follow the predetermined plan and assist the Judge. Chiron, please be Saber's opponent. I will be responsible for her Master, Shishi Jie Li."
Although she is a gentle girl sitting in a wheelchair on weekdays, when she comes to the battlefield, Fiore's momentum can easily make Chiron bow his head:
"I understand, Master, please don't force yourself.
"Well, I understand. "
The young magician controlled the magic arm and fell to the ground like a beautiful spider hunting, while the Centaur Sage watched his master rush to the battlefield.
In Chiron's opinion, in terms of magic level, Shishi Jie Li and his master Fiore are on par. Shishi Jie has the upper hand in combat experience, while Fiore is better in combat touch. The key lies in who can react to the battle situation more calmly.
Without thinking too much, Red Saber pierced him with an angry gaze. Although Chiron's unexpected arrow was blocked by her, it seemed to have damaged her helmet, so the swordsman simply threw away the visor, and her exposed bare face was so beautiful. It was surprising, but Archer, who had seen countless heroes, knew one thing very well.
This young swordsman undoubtedly had the face of a hero.
Chiron smiled bitterly, feeling a sense of exaltation welling up from the depths of his heart. It seemed that he was still too young, and he didn't know if it was because he was summoned in his prime. He was so reckless now that even he was surprised.
But perhaps the difference in hairstyle was too big, or perhaps Mordred's distorted expression made Chiron misjudge - he didn't realize the peculiarity of this swordsman.
But Jeanne, who was right next to Mordred, would never miss this detail.
"You look...! "
Joan of Arc's surprise was not without reason. If Mordred was willing to comb her messy hair and soften her rebellious face, she would look almost the same as Joan of Arc herself.
So, is this why she mistook me for King Arthur...
Joan of Arc realized something, and Mordred, whose face was exposed after being shot through the visor by Chiron, snorted angrily, as if he was no longer interested in Joan of Arc, and turned his hatred to the archers on the clock tower.
"Master, which one should be dealt with, this annoying Ruler or the Archer over there? I prefer the black Archer who is smug over the clock tower."
".Aren't you already full of desire to fight Archer? Well, this is also a wise choice. I will be responsible for his Master.
Because of the dream he had in the morning, Lion Jie naturally would not blame Mordred too much. He also quickly stepped forward and walked towards the direction where the 'beautiful spider' fell, passing Mordred.
"Please, Saber."
"I'm sorry, Master. Then I'll go and kill him right now."
Emotions such as anger and hatred have been completely released in the release of the Noble Phantasm. Now Mordred has no interest in the Saint holding the Holy Flag, and she has no intention of apologizing. Her entire mind is now involved in the enemy on the clock tower, and a war-loving smile appears on her face.
Mordred can see clearly that the black Archer has already pulled the bow to the full, and it is too late to run at full speed. But she has the skill of "Magic Release". After the helmet is taken off, she can summon more magic to entangle herself, and then spray it out in one breath to achieve explosive acceleration.
As if by invisible tacit understanding, when the two masters left the range of the battle, the archer in the distance released the bowstring, and Mordred ignited the magic in his body in an instant, like a human-shaped cannonball, rushing towards the distant enemy in one go.
The arrow arrived, and Red Saber swung her sword to cut it off, with an undisguised smile on her face.
——Come on, Archer, I only have you as my target.
The Black Archer's Master was left to his Master, Lion Jie, and he could not lose. Mordred was surprised to find that she was sure of this.
Until now, she had never trusted magicians so much. She thought that the so-called magicians were all twisted and shut-ins. No, in fact, all the magicians she had met so far were like this.
However, there are magicians who are so compatible with their own personalities. There are also magicians who rush forward. There are also magicians who attack 90% and defend 10% - or in other words, there are also magicians who respect the rebellious knight and cater to her master so carefully.
Regarding this, Mordred was filled with joy, but out of the quality of a knight, she quickly turned her attention back to the battle. To reach the 60-meter-high bell tower, the number of steps required is 12 steps, not using hands and feet to climb, but galloping on the outer wall at a 90-degree angle.
The arrows did not stop, but the attacks that could shoot through countless soldiers were all dodged by Mordred, who had excellent intuition. Since the distance was shortened to this point, Archer was powerless to save the situation.
Nine steps——
As a means of long-range sniping, archery is the best. Even compared with current firearms, it has the huge advantage of being able to attack almost silently. As long as it is at a long distance, Archer is almost invincible.
Five steps——
However, if there is a Servant who can shorten the long distance to a short distance in one breath, the battle situation will change dramatically.
For example, the magic release that is praised as a warrior's magic skill!
Three steps——
Of course, archery also has several shortcomings. First, continuous shooting is almost impossible to achieve. Second, the trajectory of the arrow can easily expose the position of the shooter. Third, the archer is too fragile at close range.
One step!!!
It is inevitable that Mordred is sure that he will win. At this close distance, the archer is helpless.
Chiron was not at all flustered by the enemy's fierce charge, and simply nocked another arrow.
The arrow shot from the fully drawn bow came in front of Saber, but was deflected by the sword she held with both hands.
"I got you, archer!"
The opponent had no time to shoot the next arrow. As a veteran Knight of the Round Table, Mordred was sure that he could kill Archer with one blow.
But Chiron was also an experienced sage, and at this time, he made a move beyond Saber's intuition - he jumped into the air from the narrow foothold without hesitation, and drew the bow and shot the arrow as he fell.
The starry sky at night was lit up, and the starlight of Sagittarius fell from the distant realm, directed on the sage's drawn bow, so proudly aimed at the chest with the thickest armor, Chiron released the bowstring.
Shoot - hit!
The arrow wrapped in starlight forcibly destroyed Saber's armor. The cold arrow pierced into the shoulder, and then the blinding pain spread throughout the body. If Mordred had not twisted his limbs at the last moment, the soul core in his chest would have been shot through.
However, this was no consolation to Saber, who was originally sure of winning.
"You...!!"
There was thunder running in the green lion-like eyes. Mordred only relied on anger to dispel the severe pain from the shoulder to the whole body. Aiming at the falling archer, she activated the "magic release" without hesitation, and then grabbed the king's sword and charged from top to bottom!
The red thunder rushed, drawing a straight line on the 60-meter-high bell tower. The lightning spread violently, carrying Mordred's anger, falling, falling, falling--
directly reaching the Black Archer, Chiron, who had already landed!
It was just like a falling star, Chiron thought in his heart. Although it was not beautiful, it was extremely intense, and people could not help but be dazzled by the light.
So that's it, Saber is really an excellent Heroic Spirit. If you want to be able to regroup and counterattack immediately after being hit by such an arrow, you must have a strong will that can endure the pain and impact.
In a few tenths of a second, Saber will cut him down with a sword. So, how should I defend against her attack?
Archery is not effective. No matter how fast, it is too difficult to deal with a sword that only swings down. There is no sword, no gun, no bow, no mount, and no madness. Magic and daggers can't stop the sword.
- Then, I can only fight with this last weapon.
Falling 60 meters, at the moment before landing, one foot exerts force on the ground just right so that the body can turn to the side.
Facing Saber, who was holding the King Sword and falling like a meteor, Chiron took a deep breath, and the longbow in his hand dissipated, replaced by the hands that symbolized fists and strength.
With only a pair of flesh palms, Chiron met the brutal red thunder and the powerful swordsman who landed with a bang!
I want to create an atmosphere through illustrations, but I am worried that the abrupt illustrations will affect the reading experience... ah, it is really a happy trouble.
