Reckless beheadings are not allowed, but carefully planned beheadings are allowed.
Xiang An can understand Fujimaru Ritsuka's plan.
Washington is located very far east compared to the whole of North America, so the Celtics' city defense facilities and defense forces are basically set up to the west of Washington to guard against possible enemies on the west side, while on the east side, defense It cannot be said that there is no power, it can only be said that it is very few.
Just like Scathach said, Maeve is a person who is good at using the Holy Grail, but she is also a person who is loyal to her own wishes.
After Robin Hood described her purpose for coming to this singularity, Fujimaru Ritsuka came up with a slightly absurd conjecture, but it was very likely to be the actual situation.
That is to find his man, that is, the mad king, Cu Chulainn.
A crazy woman, for the man she loved, used the Holy Grail to create a chaotic world where only killing existed.
It's outrageous, but it's almost the same.
She doesn't want to fight, she wants to enjoy it.
Enjoy the time with Cu Chulainn, enjoy "governing" this country with Cu Chulainn, and enjoy what you want to enjoy.
It is obvious that matters such as governing the army and governing the country are not among Maeve's "enjoyments".
Although Cu Chulainn is a brave knight and the son of light in Ireland, after his spirit base has been twisted, it is obvious that he is not the material to lead an army. That is why Maeve summons so many servants and lets them lead them. The Celts, who mass-produced the Holy Grail, repeatedly ravaged the land of North America.
So in this case, if the east side of Washington is not fortified, there is a high probability that it is really undefended.
The target of the Chaldean people's actions is undoubtedly a very small team. The formation of only a few people is not suitable for this war.
No, from now on, the war is over. Xiang An and Edison can push the front from Des Moines, Topeka, all the way east to Gary and St. Louis. The Chaldean side has already won this war.
What follows is the battle for the Holy Grail.
Together with Xiang An and others, all the members of Chaldea collectively moved north, directly entering Lake Michigan from Gary, all the way to Lake Ontario, and then followed the waterway, entering the sea from New York, and going south around the entire state of Maryland. Circle, finally.
Stab the most deadly knife from the enemy's back.
Maeve and Cu Chulainn suddenly discovered that the enemy had disappeared.
Cu Chulainn had already arrived at Fort Wayne, and then suddenly heard the news from the front line. All the enemy's servants disappeared overnight.
The person who brought this news was Arjuna. He originally wanted to fight Karna again and rip off the head of his "good brother", but he came to the Karna they had defeated before in a menacing manner. Later, I found out that the person was gone?
Karna! You are not in Gary at all, where have you been! ?
Cu Chulainn and Arjuna searched around Gary with some annoyance, and even went to Chicago to look for traces of Chaldea's group, but they couldn't find them.
Cu Chulainn couldn't help but think of what happened before, so he hurried back to Washington with Arjuna. Then he saw Maeve with a confused face. The expected assassination did not appear.
Those people in Chaldea really seemed to disappear out of thin air. Maeve sent other servants to explore westward, but still found no trace of them.
"Xiao Cu, tell me, where did those bastards go?" Maeve put her arms around Cu Chulainn's neck and asked with a distressed look on her face.
"You don't care what they do, as long as they show up, I will kill them." Cu Chulainn seemed to always have that indifferent expression, squeezing Maeve's hand and said lightly.
It's not that he doesn't think those followers are a threat, but he simply feels that fighting, killing, and killing those who interfere with his life is an extremely normal thing.
If you've done it a lot and almost never failed, why should you care?
"That's true." Maeve chuckled, bringing her face closer to Cu Chulainn, gently rubbing her forehead against Cu Chulainn's cheekbones, sniffing the smell of blood on Cu Chulainn's body, revealing A happy expression.
"Ah. This is my dream life."
And high in the sky, beyond the perception range of Maeve and Cu Chulainn, a servant was riding a tall and strong horse, and glanced at the things on the ground with a sneer.
Xiang An, as the only servant in the team who could move long distances in a straight line in the air, was naturally sent out by Fujimaru Ritsuka to check the information.
Even at this height, I couldn't see anything clearly.
"Since it is for enjoyment, those who hold the Holy Grail will naturally have to bear the price of enjoyment." Xiang An's face was hidden behind the mask, his eyes narrowed, and he looked dangerously at the city below.
"Wishes themselves do not distinguish between high and low. Sublime and inferior have always been arrogant evaluations given by objective people. If you only start from yourself, then perhaps inferior, simple, and incomprehensible wishes may be beyond the reach of a person in his lifetime. "
"So, I will not criticize your existence from the perspective of desire, the Queen of Connaught."
Xiang An murmured to himself.
"I just feel lonely"
He looked to the west. It was a huge land, a ruined, ravaged land, and its people.
"If it is the price of your wish, you must pay it yourself."
"Your kingly way. Humph."
He experienced many things at this singularity, but Xiang An's most profound thoughts were still about what happened during his lifetime.
This is not the first time he has been summoned, but that appearance was a bit hard to explain in general. It did not leave Xiang An more time to think about his own country, his own Beichu, but gave Xiang An more time to think about his own country and his own Beichu. Think about other things that are equally important to you.
But this time, the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling brought by this vast land naturally made Xiang An feel melancholy and angry.
Even though the spirit base of the King of Hell appears in the world and does not carry the function of being a salvation machine, the concept that has been implemented throughout Xiang An's life is still deeply present in Xiang An's mind.
He is the machine that ends the troubled times. This is the foundation of Xiang An's existence and has never changed. Even though he is the King of Northern Chu, the King of Hell, the Dongyue Emperor, the Zhenwu God Wei Daiyou, the illustrious Rensheng Emperor Xiang An, his Nothing has changed at all.
There is no doubt that the current North American continent is on the verge of collapse.
"The meaning of loneliness is right here."
Xiang An suddenly felt that maybe even without Lawrence, he might be summoned independently somewhere in this singularity.
