Beside the artificial lake in the garden, an epic battle is in full swing.
In the royal room, Semiramis was sulking.
The target of her anger was not Shinji who was fighting with Shirou. Having seen all the magic of Shirou, she had full confidence in her master.
The target of her anger was not the five heroes who were fighting with Barshom and Hydra. These guys were just minor problems. Even if she really killed two monsters, she could summon two more. As long as she was in this king's room and the magic power of the Holy Grail was not cut off, she could summon poison-related monsters continuously.
When Achilles showed up to support her, she was thinking about what to summon next - "Xiangliu", a subordinate of the water god Gonggong in Chinese mythology, who was very similar to Hydra? Or the poisonous scorpion, the servant of the Egyptian goddess Serekette
However, before she could make up her mind, an alarm sounded in the royal palace. It was an alarm that the enemy had invaded the core palace complex of the garden, which meant that she could no longer focus on the battlefield outside and had to concentrate on dealing with the invaders who were getting closer and closer.
Relying on her absolute control over the garden, Her Majesty the Queen quickly discovered the figures of the intruders. They were two women, one tall and two short, with almost identical faces—the Judge Joan of Arc, the Knight King Altria, and the Rebellious Knight Mordred.
After nearly killing Semiramis with the "torture tactic", the three powerful women killed the Shadow Assassin Yanqing and the Shadow Caster Hohenheim at the fastest speed, and then headed straight for the center of the garden.
This was both Chiron's suggestion and Jeanne's independent judgment. When Chiron proposed to Jeanne to use the Command Spells for added power, the two of them had already prepared a tactic of one side holding back from the outside while the other side went straight to the heart.
It is too dangerous to continue letting Semiramis go. No one knows whether she will summon a third or fourth such terrifying monster. The source of all this must be defeated, and Jeanne d'Arc and the other two who have powerful anti-magic powers are the best choices for the spearhead.
Semiramis obviously saw through their plan, which was why she was so angry. She bit her thumb tightly with her teeth, and she looked as if she was going to bite her nail directly.
"Damn ruler, damn Black Lancer, and that damned rebel. However, this combination is indeed very tricky, especially ruler's Noble Phantasm... If it is really the embodiment of the concept of protection, then it is undoubtedly the nemesis of my poison. There is no other way. Although I am very reluctant, I can only rely on that guy. I hope he is not bragging, otherwise I will pull out his tongue even if I have to give up the garden!!!"
Through the privileges of the garden, the Empress projected her own shadow directly into Shakespeare's study.
At this moment, Shakespeare was devoting himself to writing, and his shining eyes could not accommodate anything else except the words in front of him.
In desperation, the empress first coughed to show her presence.
Shakespeare looked up at her and then went back to writing.
Semiramis had no choice but to speak.
"Caster!"
It was not until this time that the great writer woke up from his dream. He took his hands off the keyboard and performed the court etiquette in his usual exaggerated manner.
"Ah, Your Majesty, this is a rare guest. You come to us at such a critical moment. It seems that the situation is not very good."
"You still have such war wisdom?"
The empress looked at this guy who she usually treated as a clown with a little surprise, and the latter shook his head.
"Thank you for the compliment. Of course, I don't have any war wisdom or anything like that. I just created a lot of works and know a little about human nature." (You also know a little about human nature?)
"Oh, then you also know the purpose of my coming here."
"You want us to use our treasures to deal with that lovely and pathetic Saint? Has she already broken into the palace?"
Shakespeare crossed his arms with one hand and stroked his chin with the other, and his expression looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
"Sometimes I really doubt whether you really don't understand magic."
"I am a writer and know nothing about magic. The reason why I know so much about the Saint is just because of some connection in my previous life."
"Karma? It must be bad karma, right?"
Semiramis showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth. Because Shirou was particularly indulgent towards Shakespeare, she took the time to collect some information about Shakespeare, and also learned about a dark history between him and Jeanne, which was really "dark", the dark history of black people.
In his work Henry VI, Shakespeare portrayed Joan of Arc as a slut who openly flirted with the unfaithful King Charles VII. After being captured by the British army (actually the Burgundians) and sent to the stake, Joan of Arc actually said that she already had a child, and even mentioned several names of possible fathers of the child, which directly turned the beautiful girl into charcoal.
Although the hostility between Britain and France at that time was the product of the general environment of "the enemy's hero, my enemy", it was too much to be so dark. It was because Joan of Arc had a good temper and didn't bother with him. If it were Semiramis, she would have regarded this nonsense bastard as a breeding ground for poison.
Shakespeare shrugged helplessly at this point: "I don't deny it. To be honest, after meeting the ruler himself, I do feel a little sorry."
"I warn you, if you dare to neglect this, I will kill you and destroy all your works."
This threat really hit Shakespeare's soft spot. He didn't care about his own life or death, but he couldn't ignore his work which was nearing completion.
"Please rest assured, we will do our best."
"Very good, just wait in the corridor. I will bring the ruler to you in five minutes at most."
Of course Semiramis has this ability. As the core area of the garden, the palace is more tightly guarded, not only with countless traps, but also with countless passages. Where these roads lead to is entirely determined by Semiramis's personal wishes.
With a snap of his fingers, the temporarily generated trap enveloped the four people who were advancing at high speed. After a spatial displacement, the three people at the back disappeared, leaving Joan of Arc alone facing the corridor leading to endless darkness.
The mistress of the garden no longer paid attention to the outside after she expertly changed the spatial structure and locked the end of the corridor into Shakespeare's study. She glanced at the wound that made her feel ashamed, and gently wiped her lips with her bitten finger, outlining a touch of scarlet color.
"The troublesome guy has disappeared. Now let me play with you. Let you taste the wine of Semiramis, the oldest poisoner. The second treasure is activated, "The Wine of the Arrogant King";."
In order to welcome the "guests" who would arrive in a few minutes, the empress began to prepare the banquet herself.
Then, the gate between the kings slowly opened to welcome the guests!
PS: So Her Majesty the Empress' "Vaing Garden" is really a BUG, and it completely deserves the evaluation of EX - it's a pity that except for the ability to fly, everything else is basically crushed by La Er's Fen Tou, which is invincible.
PS2: The guy who got in the way has disappeared. From now on, everything will be centered around me. I will become the heroine of the new world. No, hold it in, don't laugh, but... The plan is clear~
