Emperor's New Clothes
It sounds like one of the emperor's privileges.
This is a level Ex privilege that only the emperor and a few kings have.
Even skills that do not belong to you can be held for a short period of time because of your own opinions, including but not limited to riding, swordsmanship, art, leadership, military strategy, etc. Even gods can be possessed because of your own opinions. get.
If the spirit is powerful enough, it can even ignore the rules of the Holy Grail and resist the Master's call.
Obviously, the Lion-Hearted King Richard did not have such a high-level servant in history. The reason why he was able to obtain this privilege was entirely due to some special reasons.
Considering that all the servants had been summoned just now, only King Richard the Lion-Hearted was late, which made people suspicious.
William said his servant was shy.
Why shy.
Astolfo suddenly thought of the allusion of the Emperor's New Clothes, and instantly understood. Not only him, but almost everyone had roughly figured out the reason.
"Hey, Your Majesty the King, did you have no clothes to wear when you summoned him?" Astolfo was happy that he had discovered the secret of Richard the Lionheart.
The case was solved.
I got the truth myself.
Silence, silence.
Even Vlad III couldn't help but press his forehead with his hand. He could already imagine what would happen next.
The Emperor's New Clothes, from "The Emperor's New Clothes", tells the story of an emperor who only changed his clothes every day. He neither governed the country nor prepared the army. He was just obsessed with new clothes and selected officials based on the new clothes, which led to the implementation of his empire.
Until two swindlers came along and claimed that they could make a magical garment that only smart people could see but not fools.
The swindler demanded a large amount of treasure and kept claiming how luxurious and dazzling the dress was. Even the officials sent there could not see the dress. However, in order to cover up their "ignorance", they all said that they could see the dress, and the emperor The same is true. Finally, when he paraded on the street wearing this invisible "clothes", a child said, "He has nothing on!".
This exposed the emperor's new clothes.
The emperor's privilege itself is the privilege of being able to turn a deer into a horse. It is the world's tolerance for the emperor's willfulness and his will to do whatever he wants.
"Rider, right? I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language and say it again! Do I have any clothes on?"
Richard the Lionheart's voice became angry. No one else spoke, but you spoke, and you seemed smart.
Richard the Lionheart was furious. The sound of thunder could be heard in the hall. An iron chain emerged from the ground and tied Astolfo directly when everyone was caught off guard.
The King's Sword turned into a series of lightsabers and landed on Astolfo's head. The magic power was brewing and erupting. Even if Astolfo, one of Charlemagne's twelve warriors, suffered such a violent attack, Might survive.
"It's so strange. Why can't I use my power? What did you do?" Astolfo pulled the chains that tied him curiously, especially curious about this situation.
There was no way to resist even a single move.
Everyone present was shocked, and there was even a sense of fear. As Servants, the difference in power between the two was really huge.
"Prince of England, is this the respect you should have for the King of England?" King Richard the Lionheart asked, "In that case, then accept the king's judgment!"
"Please be patient, Your Majesty Richard. Although Astolfo has offended you, now is not the time for internal strife. Please allow him to take advantage of his guilt and make meritorious service. After all, he is a very important member of our Black camp."
Darnic couldn't help but say that although Astolfo was not a first-rate Servant, losing a Servant because of such an inexplicable little thing at the beginning of the war was not something they could accept.
"Richard the Lionheart, even if the other party offends you, I think you should be more tolerant for the sake of our common enemy."
Vlad III spoke slowly, and Richard the Lionheart, who was originally punishing Astolfo, snorted and took back his chain, "For the sake of the King of Romania, I will spare you for now."
"It hurts so much. What on earth is this chain? By the way, there's also Excalibur. Isn't this King Arthur's weapon?"
Astolfo lay on the floor and stood up again, but he still couldn't hide his curiosity.
Darnic looked at this scene coldly. Although he summoned a powerful servant, this situation of being out of control still made him feel a little uneasy.
Even if the servant keeps saying that he is Richard the Lion-Hearted King, it is too unsettling for a servant who has the privilege of the emperor to defeat Rider with one blow and is not restricted by the Master's command spell.
William is not scary. Although his origin is unknown, he is a master who temporarily joined the Thousand World Tree clan, but after all, he has the heart of a child. He can just let Fiore deal with children. All he needs is what William summoned. Followers.
However, the current situation is that William has lost three command spells on his arm. Although he can still be regarded as the master of Richard the Lionheart due to the supply of magic power, he has lost the means to control his followers.
In the Holy Grail War, the only reason why all Servants will respond to the Master's call is because they have the desire to pursue the Holy Grail. Because of the common desire, the Master and Servants will work together for the same goal.
The Holy Grail, which is a wishing machine, will give the winning group of masters and servants the blessing of a wish. Since their interests are aligned, they will cooperate.
However, if you have absolute trust in your servant just for this reason, you would be looking down on people's hearts. Although the servant is a cracked product of the historical heroic spirit, the memory and emotion are the incarnation of the heroic spirit after all, and have their own pride and Dignity, when encountering a master and a servant who are incompatible with each other, the crisis of rebellion by the servant will inevitably arise.
Servants exist in this world. Of course, they need the master's magic supply to connect with the world. At the same time, the stigmata used by the master to summon servants are three command spells. He has absolute command authority over them three times. This is the master-slave. Relationships are decisive.
Otherwise, why would the great heroes in history obey the instructions of a mere human magician?
For a magician who had obtained the highest level of magician title in the Magic Association with a politician's tactics, Darnic instantly saw through the Lionheart's intention to punish Astolfo just now.
This is to demonstrate one's authority, show one's strong political presence, and at the same time show one's own strength. This is deliberately done to show to oneself and the leader, and it also sells a favor to the leader and oneself.
The original arrangement was for all summoned servants to be led by King Vlad III. In this Holy Grail War, their masters retreated behind the scenes.
"After all, I also have a reason to desire the Holy Grail. Now please tell me your name, Vlad III Your Grace. I think we can start the military discussion now. Holy Grail War, Holy Grail War. Since it is a war, let us Winning victory through war, I am the King of Knights, I am not good at governing the country, but I am good at fighting, which is why the Master summoned me."
"Siegfried and I jointly occupy the position of Saber, and the position of Berserker is freed up. Next, we can summon a Servant, so it seems that we will have the advantage of one more Servant, but the Lion and the Rabbit also Use all our strength and we cannot underestimate our opponents.”
Richard the Lionheart seemed to quickly fall into his role and discuss military matters with Vlad III in a negotiation manner. The other servants did not object, as if they thought it was natural. Gold and Fiore looked at him Uncle Danik wanted to ask for his opinion, but saw him nodded slightly.
With the help of this head start, he immediately occupied the leadership position among all the Heroic Spirit Servants, even if this position was shared with Vlad III.
At the same time, his powerful political methods and overly active actions are beyond his control except for losing the command spell. He is almost an ace who can lead his black side to win the Holy Grail War.
"A military strategist from the East named Sun Tzu once said, seven strategies for war.
1. Which side’s monarch is more popular among the people, our side or the enemy’s?
2. Which side’s generals are better?
3. Which party is more favorable to the right time and place?
4. Which side can strictly abide by military orders?
5. Which side’s army is stronger?
6. Which side’s soldiers are better trained?
7. Which side enforces the distinction between rewards and punishments more strictly?
This is what we need to know. War is not only a competition of military strength, food, logistics, but also intelligence. We not only need to know ourselves but also know the enemy!
The so-called essence of war is to create an asymmetric war situation, use the strong to bully the weak, use the long to attack the weak, and defeat them one by one. Even the three hundred Spartan warriors can compete with the Persian army of half a million! "
Richard the Lionheart moved Tulifas's huge map under the ground and took out a magic book, which showed the confrontation between the black and red sides.
The tiny Tin Soldiers formed a situation where cyborgs, golems, and Dragon Tooth Soldiers were fighting each other on both sides.
"It seems that the opponent has a very powerful caster. Maybe even if we have one more servant, we won't be able to form a relative advantage.
I know that everyone has their own wishes for the Holy Grail, and I don’t know whether the Holy Grail can fulfill all of our wishes. How many of us can remain during the war, but I guarantee in the name of the King of Knights that the wishes of the Holy Grail after the victory, Let us put aside all disputes, discuss with each other after victory, and realize our wishes in a fair and just way. "
Richard the Lionheart said, and after seeing that all the heroes had no objections, he continued, "Vlad III is a well-known hero in Romania, but this is an advantage and a disadvantage. If the enemy has the flag of Archangel Michael like me, , it is very likely to fall into a targeted situation, so we must protect the Archduke no matter what."
"I don't need your protection. As a monarch, I can also take the lead and take the lead." Vlad III frowned and refused.
"No, this is not just protection, but also requires your power, so someone must act as a thorn in the enemy's side. Therefore, I have a strategy. I will act as Black's trump card. From now on, you There is no need to call me Richard the Lionheart, but call me King Arthur, and I will be active in this Holy Grail War as the ancestor King Arthur."
Richard the Lionheart said in a tone that did not allow for explanation, and his attitude was firm, "My Noble Phantasm is the same as King Arthur's Noble Phantasm, which is enough to confuse the fake with the real one, unless the other party also summons the Knights of the Round Table."
"But even if the opponent summons the Knights of the Round Table, it will be enough to shake the opponent's military morale!"
