Holy capital.
For the refugees who gather here, this is their hope, the shelter they long for, and the place of faith.
In order to be selected into the Holy Capital, before the arrival of Saint Ba once a month, they still persisted even though they lived in a simple tent with limited food and water provided by the solemn knights.
Therefore, the Holy City is the ideal home for all the refugees who gather there. The Lion King and the Knights of the Round Table also gain the devout faith of the refugees and are admired by the refugees day and night.
It's a pity, who could have thought of it
In front of the main gate of the Holy City, which symbolizes hope, faith and ideals, hell descends.
In the midst of endless mourning, the refugees were massacred by the solemn knights.
Yes.
massacre.
Apart from this description, there is no other word that can be used to describe the current situation.
The solemn knights swung their swords mercilessly and slashed at the terrified refugees who were fleeing in all directions.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"
In the blink of an eye, several more people were brutally chopped to the ground. Blood flowed from their bodies, staining the soil red.
It all really happens in the blink of an eye.
Because the solemn knight had surrounded the refugees and immediately drew his sword to chop them down at the moment the holy punishment began. The whole process did not even take a second.
As a result, although the hell has not yet expanded, many people were still chopped down to the ground in an instant, dying.
In a hurry, the refugee who was chopped down was lucky enough not to die immediately.
Faced with this situation, the solemn knights just mechanically raised their swords, ready to deliver a fatal blow on the spot.
At this moment, amidst countless screams and screams, the magic power vibrated.
"Qiang!" "Qiang!" "Qiang!"
The weapons of the solemn knights who were slashed with their swords were all bounced away by the invisible shields of telepathy that appeared at an unknown time.
Immediately afterwards, the invisible shield of telepathy suddenly turned.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
As a dull collision sounded, all the solemn knights were blasted away by the invisible shields of telepathy.
The refugees immediately fled in all directions, screaming.
The entire battlefield became extremely chaotic.
On the contrary, above the city wall, there was incomparable silence.
But in the silence, a violent aura was surging.
Luo Zhen had already raised a hand at some point, facing the battlefield below, and turned his eyes to Artoria aside.
His eyes were full of cold light.
"What are you doing...!?"
Matthew also questioned the round tables in a tone of disbelief.
However, no matter it was Tristan, Mordred or Aguewen, they all looked at him coldly.
Arturia also turned her head and looked at Luo Zhen.
His figure didn't waver at all.
Obviously, the tragic situation under the city wall is not worth mentioning to these people.
This made Luo Zhen laugh.
Smiling without any emotion at all.
"I see, is this Shengba?"
As these words came out, a chill came over him.
"Admit qualified people into the Holy City, and punish those who are not qualified on the spot. This is what you call for humanity, for hope, and for the future, Lion King."
Every word Luo Zhen said was like the calm before the storm, full of depression.
But Artoria remained unmoved.
"Humanity has no future. The Magic King's ambition is destined to wipe out human history. The world where this singularity is located will collapse, and human reason will also be burned. This is an unshakable result."
Artoria narrated without emotion.
"In this case, before the destined doomsday comes, accepting pure and innocent human beings in my holy city and leaving a trace of fire for mankind, isn't this for mankind, for hope, and for the future?"
That's right.
This is Shengba.
The so-called Holy Ba means to select people that Artoria deems qualified and let them become the fire of mankind and stay in the Holy Capital.
Artoria believes that humanity has no hope and that human history is destined to be destroyed. Therefore, before the doomsday is destined to come, she must save as much of humanity as possible.
This is the reason why Arturia established the Holy City, and even more so, the reason why she lingers in this singularity.
In a word, this Lion King just doesn't think favorably of humans or Chaldea, so he is preparing for the worst.
Is this wrong
This really can't be said to be wrong.
The problem is that...
"Then why did you kill the other refugees? Is this what the noble and noble Knights of the Round Table should do?"
Matthew couldn't help but get angry.
Matthew was indeed angry.
Not only was he angry, but something inside him was also angry. The two superimposed on each other, making Mashu's anger extremely intense.
But Artoria still looks the same.
"They are already worthless. Instead of falling like this, it is better to show them mercy."
Artoria seemed to be handling something, her tone unchanged from beginning to end.
At this moment, everyone understood.
"You...are not King Arthur at all...!"
Matthew trembled.
Luo Zhen also said this before.
But the meaning was different between that time and this time.
At that time, Luo Zhen was just saying that Arturia had been deified and turned into a goddess, and was no longer the legendary king of Britain.
But now, Mash is saying that Artoria has even given up on the past.
The real King Arthur was never such a cruel person.
As a noble king of knights, the real King Arthur will not treat humans as objects.
No, it should be said that as long as you are a human being, you will not treat your own kind as objects.
But the Artoria in front of her is no longer a human being, but a superior god. Her values have changed. Just like humans see other creatures as animals, Artoria no longer sees humans as equals. status life.
Therefore, the Arturia in front of her is not King Arthur, let alone the King of Knights, but...
"The Lion King...!"
In anger, Ma Xiu's whole body suddenly shone with light.
Knight-like armor and weapons appeared on Mashu's body, and Mashu grabbed the shield and rushed towards Artoria.
If it were in the past, Ma Xiu would never be so reckless.
However, at this moment, dominated by the intense emotions in his body, Mashu was unable to rush towards Artoria on his own.
only...
"Dong dong dong...!"
Amidst the pleasant sound of the piano, countless invisible sharp blades turned into arrows, blowing towards Mashu like a storm.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang...!"
On the shield that Matthew had set up, a sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded, and sparks also burst out together.
That was the attack from Tristan.
"It's so sad." Tristan sighed melancholy and said, "Even though he was entertained by the king, he still showed hostility to the king. For such a person, we knights of the Round Table can only chop him on the city wall, ah, Sad, really sad.”
As he said this, Tristan played the piano without hesitation. As his fingers moved the strings, countless invisible arrows turned into heavy rain and rained down on Mashu.
Mashu could only set up his shield and try his best to block the incoming invisible shots, causing the sound of the crossfire to reverberate fiercely on the shield.
At this time...
"Is it you...!?"
Under such a loud shout, a figure flashed in front of Mashu.
