The owner of the "Immortal Ten Thousand", the king of ancient Persia, Darius III, is very easy to identify, or it is impossible not to recognize him, because he is too conspicuous, just like the moon in the clear night sky, which cannot be hidden.
According to historical records, when King Iskandar the Conqueror captured the Persian palace, he wanted to sit on the throne of Darius III, but he couldn't reach the ground, so he had to find a table to use as a step.
Many historians have concluded that Iskandar was a dwarf like Napoleon, but in fact Iskandar's height as an adult was 212cm, which is completely contrary to the evaluation of a dwarf. Weber once asked Iskandar about this question, and Iskandar's answer was that compared with that man, he was a dwarf.
It is conceivable that Darius' height must be more than three meters, which has surpassed the limit of human beings and reached the level of giants. Such a person stands out wherever he goes, not to mention that Darius III was riding on an even larger war elephant.
Darius III was so tall that he could not ride on horses. Considering the geographical location of ancient Persia, the most suitable riding animal for him was a war elephant. Although they were in the center of the army and at a considerable distance, the terrifying combination of giants and war elephants was still extremely conspicuous.
Because of the use of sound transmission magic, Darius III clearly heard Roa's provocation and he let out an angry roar.
"Gahhhhhhhhhhhh..."
At the same time as the roar, there was also another man's voice. The bald man who sat on the war elephant with Darius III was easily overlooked because of the huge difference in height and presence. Obviously, he was Darius III's master.
"You evil heretics can no longer escape, why don't you just surrender?"
"You are wrong about two things." Roa sneered contemptuously, "First, we never thought of escaping, we just didn't want to fight too close to the city. Second, you are the ones who should surrender. If you hand over the Command Seal obediently, you may be able to live. Otherwise, you will die!"
"You don't know how to live or die! I want to see how long you can keep being stubborn!"
Darius III's master was also angry. He was a monk at Kinkakuji, one of the most famous temples in Japan, and was assigned by Kyoto to investigate the large number of vampires infiltrating western Japan.
There are factions within any power, and it is impossible for them to be monolithic. The same is true for Japan. Since ancient times, there have been conflicts between Kanto and Kansai in Japan. Even today, Tokyo, the center of Kanto, and Kyoto, the center of Kansai, often engage in verbal wars. Such conflicts have also affected the mystical world, and Tokyo and Kyoto often engage in various competitions.
Since the activities of vampires are mainly concentrated in western Japan, Kyoto, which is responsible for managing the west, attaches more importance to it. Tokyo sent Ryougi Shiki here to investigate and understand the situation, but Kyoto cannot be so calm. If it fails to manage its own territory well, it will be laughed at by the east.
Therefore, Kyoto not only dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel, but also drew experts from Heian Shrine, Kinkakuji Temple, Ruri Jinja Shrine - ahem, this one doesn't exist, crossed it out - and other ancient shrines and temples to be prepared for emergencies. This monk from Kinkakuji Temple was a member of the expert group, responsible for patrolling Fuyuki and several nearby cities.
By chance, he accidentally discovered the summoning circle that Araya used to summon Assassin. Because they were both from Buddhist backgrounds, he activated the summoning circle and summoned his own Servant, Darius III.
Although he knew nothing about the Holy Grail War, the overwhelming power of Darius III told him that he might be involved in a great event. In order to obtain more information, he tried every means to communicate with the servants while investigating the summoning circle through special means, and used it as a medium to find Araya, and also found Roa and Nero Chaos.
After going around in circles for a long time, he finally came back. Whether for mission considerations or to obtain intelligence on the Holy Grail War, he could not let go of these three evil triplets, and a battle was inevitable.
At first, the monk was a little worried. He was facing powerful heretics and he might not be their opponent. But when he saw Darius III beside him, he became more confident.
Darius III's performance did not disappoint him. He maintained the advantage from beginning to end, whether in close combat or suppressing the enemy with a more powerful army when the enemy summoned a herd of beasts, and finally forced the enemy to flee in embarrassment.
Naturally, the monk would not let the defeated enemy escape, so he led the army in pursuit all the way to the deep mountains far away from the city.
At this time, he has already gained confidence and power, and he wants to take down all these evil demons in one go.
"Go ahead, Berserker, and crush them once and for all!"
"Mmmmmmm!!"
There was another deafening roar. Due to the limitations of his job skills, Darius III lost the ability to speak, but this did not affect the communication between the master and the servant.
It was as if a giant made of black steel raised his battle axe and roared to the sky.
The surrounding soldiers also raised their guns and shields at the same time and collided with each other in response.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Such behavior not only boosts the morale of the army, but also serves as a clarion call, an order, and a ritual.
Amid the rhythmic sound of metal clashing, the magical light flowing through the entire army like will-o'-the-wisp became stronger and stronger, and the connection between the soldiers became closer and closer.
Slowly, the scene in the eyes of Roa and others changed, as if they were not facing an army of ten thousand people, but a "War Elephant of Death" that was larger than any other creature. The only way standing in front of this war elephant was death.
It is a pity that this "War Elephant of Death" lost its most powerful fangs, and the vanguard troops that should have been there were buried by the earth because of Roa's magic.
—No, that's not right. It's too early to draw conclusions now.
The earth, the earth that was cracking and closing, was shaking, once, twice, three times, rhythmically, as if responding to the clanging sound echoing among the mountains and forests.
Each attack is more violent and powerful than the last.
When the earth could no longer withstand the increasingly intense shaking, the flat ground cracked again, and the buried soldiers climbed out from the ground, shouting with their companions around them, completing the last piece of the puzzle of this huge "War Elephant of Death".
The battle was concluded, and the army that had once blocked the "King of Conquerors" was finally fully deployed and reappeared in this world.
This is the true elite force of Darius III, the complete appearance of the "Immortal Ten Thousand Cavalry"!
PS: The structure of the Japanese mystical world was set up by Jian Shao himself, and has nothing to do with Type-Moon. As for the two sides quarreling with each other, it is normal. It is not only in China that there is regional black, but it exists everywhere in the world. Kyoto and Tokyo in Japan quarrel with each other, and the East Coast and West Coast of the United States quarrel with each other. Cheating is the bad nature of human beings.
PS2: Darius III is different from other B-tiers. Not only is he strong (really strong, look at the settings, not the star rating), he is also obedient. Except for the time when he meets Iskandar, he may go berserk, but he can obey orders at other times. His recommendation level is only lower than that of Little Sun, roughly equivalent to Phineas - it takes great luck to summon him.
