The military discussion ended in this way.
When King Richard the Lionheart said that he would rush directly into the red team's base camp single-handedly, Vlad III knew that any subsequent meetings would be meaningless.
For genius commanders like Vlad III and Richard the Lionheart, convening their generals for a meeting was not actually to brainstorm and let them express their opinions, but to convey their military orders and then let them take them seriously. implement.
Although in Vlad III's view, such an action was a bit rash, it can also be seen that the Lion-Hearted King Richard is as brave as a lion. During this running-in period when the Red and Black sides have just summoned all the servants, they can directly gather information. It is most suitable to attack the enemy's base camp. As long as the initial running-in period is passed, the magic workshop and magic traps will be created.
In this regard, the Thousand World Tree clan, as the hosts of Tulifas, has long had an impregnable castle and a large number of artificial people and demons, which has an advantage in defense.
King Richard the Lionheart, who took advantage of the enemy's unsteady foothold, was undoubtedly keen on war intuition. At this point, many outstanding generals in history may not be familiar with the art of war, but they had exceptionally keen intuition on the battlefield and were able to spot fighter opportunities. , so you can win every battle.
Of course, this is still an adventure, but compared to the risks and rewards, King Richard the Lionheart thinks it is worth a try, so it is worth his support.
It would have been nice if I had had such a general who was keen on fighting opportunities, so that I could command the army more confidently and boldly, or entrust the rear to the other party, so that I would not be driven out of Wallachia and end up imprisoned.
"Your master seems to have lost his command spell. Although you have gained great freedom, you may not be able to get the support of your master at critical moments. Doesn't that matter? You need to ask one of the servants to follow you. Take action?”
Vlad III spoke out his suggestions and commanded the other followers directly and openly. No one present felt anything was wrong. This was Vlad III's undisputed leadership.
His master, Darnik, is the patriarch of the Thousand World Tree clan and the leader of the masters in the Black camp. The Black masters both respect his authority and fear his majesty. Darnik is not an easy person to talk to. The leader of the Qianjieshu clan is not only respected, but also feared.
Therefore, even if the master of the servant in question does not agree, Vlad III can make the master of the servant in question agree through Darnic.
The so-called leading king is not called for nothing.
"That's enough. Now let's ask the leader to communicate with the leader of the Danik clan. Although the masters have given us the power to direct the Holy Grail War, so that we can carry out corresponding tactics and strategies according to our own ideas, but the masters After all, he is our Master, and we still need the understanding of our Masters to do our own thing. We cannot let them know nothing. As heroic spirits, we must maintain our own etiquette when treating our Masters."
Richard the Lionheart said in a knight's tone that although the leadership of the Holy Grail War was in the hands of Vlad III, his masters must also have a sense of participation.
Although the masters of the Thousand World Tree clan are all members of the Darnic clan and theoretically have the same goal, in reality they each have their own little thoughts and have different attitudes towards their followers.
It is the common nature of magicians to treat followers as familiars and tools. The status of followers and masters is reversed entirely because Vlad III is too strong.
The Master's only means of coercion to his followers is the three-stroke Command Spell. If the Servant has a rebellious intention, he does not have to obey orders other than the Command Spell. And the powerful heroic spirits can rely on their own magic power to His will resisted one or two strokes of the command spell.
If the difference in strength between the servant and the master is too strong, then the summoned servant is not just a servant, but your monarch, your father. If you cannot show respect, then you will be killed with a backhand, even if you use There is no chance of using the Command Seal.
It's best if we can understand each other, but if we can't understand each other, the Master will be very much in the way, and it will completely hinder his victory.
"If the master does not cooperate, as a servant, we should find a way to make them cooperate more. It is best to persuade each other."
Richard the Lion-Hearted said his extremely obscure implication: If the master does not cooperate, find someone who does. Otherwise, if the master uses his command spell to act willfully and hinder himself, it will be particularly unpleasant.
This is also the reason why Vlad III said that he had a high degree of freedom. There was a certain amount of envy in Vlad III's words. As a hero, he will respect his master. After all, he is his master. There is a master-slave relationship. , he did not deny it, but he did not want to go against his own wishes.
There is only one reason.
That is Vlad III’s Noble Phantasm, the inheritance of blood.
Vlad III is not a well-known hero in the world. He is far away from the great hero Siegfried, Astolfo among the Twelve Heroes of Charlemagne, and Chiron, the heroic master in Greek mythology. He is stronger than many heroic spirits, all because Romania is his hometown, and the Holy Grail War started in his hometown.
For this reason, his popularity is the highest.
On the other hand, if there is any strange Noble Phantasm, such as William's St. Michael's Flag, that changes the attributes of the local land to France, then he will no longer be a great hero that everyone knows, and there will be no doubt that he will fight the enemy in this way. Will lose.
The only thing that can change the situation of the battle is his other Noble Phantasm, the inheritance of blood.
This is a Noble Phantasm that Vlad III really doesn’t want to use. In Romania, he is a great hero who protects the country. However, in countries other than Romania, his most famous image is the prototype of the vampire Count Dracula. Vlad’s The spiritual base also contains the powerful power of vampires due to fabricated legends.
Each follower's desire to seek the Holy Grail is different. Chiron wants to find his own immortality, and Frankenstein wants his father to create his own partner for him.
Vlad III's wish was to restore his reputation.
He wants to clear up the stigma of "Vampire Dracula" spreading around the world.
Honor is better than life, especially when this honor not only comes from himself, but also from his family. When he wants to proudly introduce himself to others, he is the son of Vlad II Draculi.
Just like when King Richard the Lionheart introduces himself, he always mentions that King Arthur is his great ancestor. His reputation is not only his own, but also his family and ancestors. This heavy glory is to be passed on to future generations.
He didn't want to deny the path he had taken. Fighting against the Turks, being imprisoned, and living through unforgettable times were all things he wanted to accept optimistically as life. However, it is intolerable to have your name smeared in a place that has nothing to do with you.
Therefore, you must never use the "Heritage of Blood" Noble Phantasm, even if you are defeated or defeated.
Vlad III expressed his feelings to Darnik and threatened him. Needless to say, there would be consequences if Darnik went against his wishes.
However, once Darnic strengthens his confidence and uses the command spell even if he risks being killed, he can resist one, but he will never be able to resist the second, and the third will be succeeded by Darnic in the end.
This was a result he didn't want to see, so Vlad III and King Richard the Lionheart formed a short-lived alliance of heroic spirits just to guard against this move.
If the master of Richard the Lion-Hearted makes a command spell that is unfavorable to Richard the Lion-Hearted, then he will execute the master of Richard the Lion-Hearted. If Vlad III’s master Darnik lets Vlad III use the inheritance of blood. With this Noble Phantasm, it will be up to Richard the Lion-Hearted to kill Darnic.
There is no need for an agreement, no need to swear in public, or even no need to say it in public, just a tacit understanding between each other is enough.
For example, Frankenstein, who has the characteristic of madness, naturally does not understand, but servants who are wary of their master will naturally join this alliance.
"Your Majesty is so right." The magician Avisbronn admired and joined the alliance invisibly. The great sage Chiron frowned. He was smart enough to understand the dialogue, but this tacit understanding It was beneficial to him as a servant, so he could only nod.
"Persuasion, it feels so difficult!" Astolfo showed a troubled expression. Sure enough, he didn't seem to understand the profound meaning of these words.
Siegfried remained silent, not sure whether he understood or not.
However, as long as there is no opposition, the alliance between the heroic spirits and their master is briefly established.
"What a powerful political skill, Richard the Lion-Hearted!" Avisbronn said in the heart of the Lion-Hearted King Richard. After receiving this message, the Lion-Hearted King Richard also responded with a smile, "You are the wily one, your master Luo Scorpion But I admire you very much, and that longing look in my eyes is not fake."
"Longing is the farthest distance from understanding. King Lionheart, your master has lost his command spell, and you are still wary of him. You are the biggest suspect. Is this the way of a knight?" Avisbu Long said.
"Who made me get used to betrayal?" Lionheart King Richard said quietly. Sure enough, these followers were not vegetarians, and they had already noticed his abnormality.
But it doesn't matter, if you see it, so what, it's the general trend, it's upright, this is a conspiracy.
"I want the Holy Grail, and I also want to win. No matter what, whoever stops me from winning is my enemy, even if it's someone from the same camp."
King Richard the Lionheart declared in public, expressing his determination, "I also have a wish for the Holy Grail to be realized. I did not come to this world just to travel and then return to the Seat of Heroes."
