These puppets have different shapes and weapons, ranging from close to long range, from defense to attack, from magic to physics. Although the strength of a single puppet is not very good, but with so many of them coming together, even Black Saber Siegfried felt a lot of pressure.
He raised his greatsword, deflected the two approaching long swords, reached out to grab the two arrows that attacked his back, lowered his shoulders and relied on the "Dragon Blood Armor" to block the two fireballs that came from the side, raised his leg and kicked away a short puppet that he didn't know when he touched beside him - Siegfried made his own judgment.
"It seems that there will be no breakthrough in a short time—master!"
"This should be the secret weapon that the Red team prepared specifically to deal with you. The magic cannon just now should also be a secret weapon. In other words, the enemy is the Red Caster?" Gold's voice came along with the master-servant contract, "Saber, be careful. If you are injured, use the ritual suit to heal yourself. You are allowed to release the Noble Phantasm when necessary!"
With the long talk during the sleepless night, the relationship between Gold and Siegfried has improved greatly. Although Gold's arrogant attitude has not changed much, he has recognized and accepted Siegfried in his heart.
He no longer says things like—
"You are a useless piece of shit. You can't even deal with a bunch of puppets!!!"
"Are you trying to conserve your strength to express your dissatisfaction? Don't push your luck with a mere puppet!"
"Noble Phantasm, use the Noble Phantasm for me!"
"What? You didn't follow my orders? I give the order with the Command Seal, Saber, release your Noble Phantasm!!!"
It sounds like a brainless statement. With his high IQ, he learned to correctly recognize the strength of the enemy and himself, calmly analyze the situation, and make the most correct choice - leaving the choice to his servants.
He believed that the great hero of Norse mythology, the Dutch Knight of Erratic Knights would not let him down.
Siegfried could certainly feel this trust, and he would respond to the Master's expectations with all his strength—he did so when he was alive, and he did so after his death.
"Siegfried, everything is up to you."
"Yes, sir!"
Then, sword energy surged, sword light became dazzling, and sword skills that stepped into the inhuman realm showed their edge.
He killed the evil dragon in this way back then, and now he wants to kill the phantom puppet in the same way.
The dragon-slaying hero Siegfried is unrivaled in the world!
◇◇◇
Just as Siegfried was displaying his prowess and fighting the phantom puppet alone, a very uncomfortable "squeaking" sound suddenly rang out in the center of the battlefield.
The source of the unusual noise was the crater created by the EX-level magic cannon in the center of the slowly dissipating mushroom cloud.
This was a unique crater. Ordinary craters would get deeper as they went to the center, but this crater was different. A small hillock appeared in the center of the crater. The surface of the hillock was scorched black by magic power, and layer after layer of black fragments were peeling off from the surface of the hillock - the "squeaking" sound came from this.
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from inside the hill, as if someone was hitting it hard from the inside. Under the influence of this force, the hill, which was already pitted by the magic cannon, finally collapsed under the heavy load.
Amid the collapsing black debris, a man jumped out on his horse, holding a steel gun. His extremely majestic aura and the look of black clothes and white hair clearly revealed his identity—the Black Berserker Vlad III!
The true identity of the black fragments that kept falling was also very clear - they were the rafters summoned by the "King of Death"! Vlad III used the "King of Death" to summon a huge number of rafters to form a cone-shaped shelter to block the bombardment of the sky garden.
The black commander looked around, and finally looked up at the sky garden that was suspended in the air and could not be ignored by anyone. A hint of anger appeared in his red pupils: "I see, using the magic cannon to separate me and Saber, is this your strategy? Red Lancer!"
"Exactly."
With an indifferent response, Karna with a golden spear and golden armor descended from the sky, and his red cloak fluttered in the wind, rustling.
Even Karna, who is comparable to Gilgamesh, is somewhat overwhelmed when facing two top servants at the same time, especially when these two top servants are the extremely tough mobile fortress Siegfried and Vlad III, who possesses a large-scale Noble Phantasm that combines attack, defense, and even terrain change.
The two complement each other's strengths, and the power they exert together is far more than one plus one equals two. Just imagine, with Siegfried at the mobile fortress level and the auxiliary defense of the rafters, I'm afraid that even an A++-level anti-military treasure may not be able to break through Siegfried's immortal body. And because of the existence of the "King of Punishment", it will become very difficult for the Red Servant to form a team battle. As one side gains, the other loses. Even if Achilles is willing to form a "Red Twin" with Karna, it will be difficult for him to gain an advantage over the two.
Now that Achilles has been taken away by Shinji, separating Siegfried and Vlad III has become the Red Team's top priority. To this end, the Red Team's two leaders, the Red Assassin Semiramis and her Master, Father Shirou, have developed a plan.
Using Karna as bait, releasing the "Flame of the Sun" at the right time as a signal, and coordinating with the bombardment of the aerial garden, Siegfried was driven out of the battlefield, creating a situation where Karna and Vlad III were one-on-one, and the Phantom Golems besieged Siegfried. Although Siegfried was a top-level Servant, his attack method was relatively simple, making him the best target for the Phantom Golems to take advantage of their numbers.
The whole process seems simple, but it actually takes into account the attributes, skills and treasures of both parties. Any problem in any of them will lead to the failure of the plan.
The core element of the plan is the effect of the magic cannon on different servants.
Among them, Vlad III does not have a damage-reducing defensive treasure like Karna and Siegfried, and the Berserker job does not have anti-magic power. In the case of being unable to escape, he has to rely on the barrier built by the "King of Punishment" to resist the bombardment.
Siegfried is different. With the "Fantasy Greatsword" and "Dragon Blood Armor" as well as the healing suit specially made by Gold, he can completely withstand the magic cannon.
At this time, the difference between the two of them became apparent. Vlad III, who had built a barrier, would not move as long as the barrier was not breached. However, Siegfried, who used his sword and body to resist the magic cannon, would not be injured, but the impact of the magic cannon would not be eliminated, so the distance between the two was widened.
To achieve this result, two things must be ensured:
First, do not give the two people the opportunity to escape from the shelling range.
Second, the two men could not be too close to each other when the bombardment arrived, otherwise Vlad III's barrier would wrap up Siegfried and the separation plan would fail.
This is exactly why Karna had to use himself as bait. With him around, the two would focus on him. With him around, sooner or later, there would be an opportunity for Siegfried to fight him in close combat, and for Vlad III to distance himself and pierce him - this was no longer necessary. Siegfried carefully chose to stand in a position that formed a corner with Vlad, which gave Karna the opportunity he wanted - to send a signal directly.
Of course, Karna himself was not afraid of the magic cannon. His golden armor could reduce all hostile interference to one tenth. After the golden armor was reduced, the EX-level magic cannon was directly weakened to the extent that his job skill, the level C anti-magic, could be invalidated.
In other words, this time the magic cannon had no effect on him.
Casually flicking away the flying dirt and rocks and adjusting his position, Karna faced off against Vlad III once again, and this time no one would disturb him.
PS: Anti-magic power means making magic completely ineffective, not simply being harmless.
PS2: Fei Ge lost his magic resistance because of the "Dragon Blood Armor", but the "Dragon Blood Armor" itself is equivalent to the magic resistance of B level. Unfortunately, before the "Dragon Blood Armor" is calculated, Fei Ge must use the "Fantasy Great Sword" for defense, which inevitably suffers the impact.
PS3: The sun turns into armor (kavacha & kundala)
Grade: A
Type: Anti-personnel (self) Noble Phantasm
Range: 0
Maximum capture: 1 person
A powerful defensive Noble Phantasm that merges with Karna's body and emits the light of the sun.
Karna's mother Kunti was afraid of becoming an unmarried mother, so she asked Surya for the golden armor and earrings to protect her son. Since it is a being made of light itself, it is difficult for even the gods to destroy it.
It can reduce all hostile interference (physical attacks, magic, curses, etc.) to one tenth. Even if it is injured in normal battle, it can be recovered through the self-healing function. Even if it is hit by an A+-level anti-military treasure, it will not affect its actions.
