French army, camp.
At this moment, a group of French army soldiers were doing their own things. Some were patrolling and guarding, some were cooking and preparing food, and some were checking weapons, letting a chilling atmosphere permeate the air. inside.
At first glance, this seems to be an extremely ordinary military camp.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that in this camp, every soldier has a tense face, as if he is nervous about something, and looks unusually quiet.
Such anomalies naturally caught the attention of the three cavalry servants who were attacking.
Especially Dion, who had worked as a spy, it was impossible to hide such an obvious abnormality from him.
"what happened?"
Dion stopped and frowned in confusion.
"kill!"
On the contrary, Atalanta ignored everything and rushed toward the camp like a green shadow with light and murderous steps.
"wait…"
Just as Dion was about to stop him, another voice came from behind.
"What are you still doing? Perform your mission!"
Malda rode on Tarasque and rushed toward the camp with roaring footsteps. When passing by Dion, she turned around and scolded him.
It's hard to tell that this saintly woman is quite impulsive.
Being scolded by Martha, Dion's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Finally, Dion came to a conclusion.
"never mind."
This is a conclusion that would never have been reached had he not been driven mad.
If he hadn't been driven mad, Dion, who was accustomed to espionage operations, would certainly not have ignored such an obvious anomaly and would not have acted rashly.
But now, being driven to madness, his rationality has almost disappeared, making Dion no longer as cautious as he was before his death.
"It's important to carry out the mission."
There was only one impulse left in Dion's heart.
So, Dion suppressed his inner doubts, picked up his Western sword, and rushed into the camp as well.
This action determines the future of these three cavalry servants.
"Roar!"
As if he could no longer suppress it, Tarasque immediately burst into a frightening roar as soon as he rushed into the camp.
The roar was like a rock falling into the lake, causing the entire camp to shake.
"coming!"
"The enemy is coming!"
"Go and call the marshal!"
The soldiers of the French army who were doing their own things in an orderly manner suddenly stood up one after another, shouting and taking action without hesitation.
They did not confront the enemy rashly, nor did they show any panic. Instead, they started to disperse while shouting at each other.
Just at this moment…
"retreat!"
Gil came out of the main tent and shouted an order involuntarily.
"The whole army retreats!"
The retreat instructions were given by Jill without any hesitation.
"retreat!"
"retreat!"
In the entire French army camp, all the soldiers seemed to have been trained. They ignored the three murderers who broke in and scattered around.
Under such circumstances, the soldiers retreated with astonishing efficiency, leaving the entire camp emptied.
This situation made a group of three riding servants stunned, and at the same time, madness appeared in their eyes.
"stop!"
Malda was the first to take action, driving Tarask and letting the dragon pursue the soldiers.
"Don't even think about running away!"
Dion even held a Western sword and began to sprint.
"kill!"
Atalanta was the most concise and concise, roaring in a low voice while raising the long bow in her hand.
The surging magic power surged through the three of them.
What followed was a one-sided massacre without any suspense.
How could a human soldier's foot strength defeat the dragon's pursuit, the knight's sword dance, and the heroine's arrows
The premise is that someone will obediently watch them take action.
"Listen! This magical melody!"
Such a sound echoed throughout the camp.
“〈Requiem for death〉!”
When such a strange yet familiar name was liberated, a wave of sound that was difficult to describe in words swept through the entire camp like wind and water.
Amazing magic power surged in the sound waves and penetrated into the ears of the three cavalry servants.
"Goooo...!?"
The most violent Atalanta immediately stopped, covered her ears, and made a muffled sound.
"Roar!"
Tarasque also yelled manically.
"What an evil voice...!"
Martha also covered her ears, with a look of pain on her face.
Only Dion's eyes suddenly shrank.
"Requiem...!?"
This is a song that everyone knew during his lifetime.
Although, in the past, many people have written pieces like "Requiem". For example, Lasso, Palestrina, Victoria and others have all created pieces called "Requiem", which are mainly used for music. A special mass is used to redeem the souls of the dead, but if we were to mention the most famous "Requiem" in history, I am afraid that nine out of ten people would definitely think of one person.
"mozart!"
Dion called out the name.
After all, this was a talented musician of his generation who also had disputes with the royal family he served. How could Dion not recognize him
"... I didn't expect that the saber summoned by the enemy was actually you."
The magician who responded to Dion's loud call emerged from a tent in the camp, baton in hand and a look of sympathy and irony on his face.
"This is really a trick of fate. At least let me give you the highest requiem."
As the words fell, the magic power surging with the sound became more evil and heroic.
"Well…!?"
Dion finally covered his ears and groaned.
At this moment, the power of the three cavalry servants who attacked the camp became unstable.
This is the effect of Amadeus' Noble Phantasm.
It is said that before his death, Mozart was commissioned by the God of Death to compose the magic song "Requiem".
In other words, unlike many "Requiems" used in mass, the "Requiem" composed by Mozart is not a song to summon the ruthless God of Death, but a song to comfort the compassionate God of Death.
This legend was sublimated into Amadeus' Noble Phantasm.
While this Noble Phantasm is being liberated, those who listen to the music played by Amadeus will make a magic and luck resistance check.
If the resistance fails, the physical ability value will be forcibly reduced by two levels, and you will continue to be damaged by ignoring magic, abilities and armor defense.
Even if the resistance is successful, the ability value will drop by one level, and although the damage sustained will be halved, it will still exist.
Amadeus freed this Noble Phantasm, affecting the abilities of Dion, Malda, and Atalanta.
"It's now!"
Following Amadeus' reminder, all the cavalry servants hiding around appeared.
Only then did Dion understand when he looked at the group of horsemen surrounding him.
"ambush…"
Yes.
They were ambushed.
