"Although Rome (me) has concluded a contract with you, that does not mean that you can instruct Rome (me) at will."
As he spoke, Romulus had already arrived in front of Leif.
"It doesn't mean you can kill Rome's (my) subjects at will."
Leif couldn't even see Romulus's movements clearly.
A second ago, Romulus was sitting on the throne on a high platform thousands of steps above, but now Romulus has arrived in front of Leif.
It was as if Romulus on the throne before did not exist at all, and as if Romulus had been here from the beginning.
"whispering sound."
Leif took a few steps back in disgust.
Even though the Demon God Pillar was stronger than the average Servant, Leif Lenore was still not in a good position when facing a Servant of Romulus's stature.
Not to mention that the favor "Rome" now bestows on Romulus has not been completely taken away by Nero of this era.
"Ha, does that count as your (Rome's) subject?"
However, his contempt for human beings made Leif still talk nonsense.
Or maybe it was the contract with Romulus that gave him the confidence to think that he could influence Romulus's thoughts through the Command Seal.
"Fleeing from the battlefield, betraying his comrades, betraying his own country, such a scumbag still talks about his dreams without shame? It's ridiculous. A country with such despicable people as its subjects is naturally a despicable country—— ——You should also thank me, Lancer."
Leif deliberately emphasized the word "lancer" to remind Romulus of his current identity.
"Watch your words, servant of the catser."
Romulus grabbed Leif by the collar and raised him high against the palace wall.
Now they arrived at the palace from the entrance of the palace in an instant.
Leif didn't even have time to react before Romulus grabbed his neck tightly.
"You actually——————!"
Leif was about to activate the command spell, but Romulus was one step ahead of him and crushed his arm with a "spear" that could be regarded as a giant pillar.
It was the Noble Phantasm held by Romulus, and it was regarded as the founding spear that had the same existence as the big tree that symbolized Rome.
[My spear reaches all things] (Magna Voluisse Magnum).
"Did you really get the king's permission? Or maybe you just planned all of this on your own initiative?"
As he spoke, Romulus drew his spear from the wall.
"You who can only see ugliness in your eyes are worse than the soldier you killed yourself."
Romulus put Leif on the ground, turned around and said:
"At least he (Rome) still has something precious and beautiful in his eyes."
"......hahahahahahahahahahaha!"
After hearing Romulus' words, Leif suddenly laughed.
"Beautiful things? Are you kidding? Maybe we only see ugliness in our eyes, but that ugliness is real - otherwise, why would you destroy yourself (Rome)?"
Romulus did not reply, but silently placed the Spear of All Things on the ground.
The bottom end of the spear shattered the thick marble floor, followed by the shaking of the entire palace.
Feeling the shaking of the ground and walls and the huge magical aura coming from Romulus, Leif still did not dare to challenge Romulus head-on even after regenerating his arm.
"I will not break my contract. The [United Empire] will still aim at destroying Rome and completely destroying human nature. However, Rome (I) has Rome (I) own plan and does not need you servants. put one's oar in."
With the blessing of "Rome", Romulus's need for a master is actually not that strong.
Even the command spell cannot completely control him.
This is not the lightweight version of the command spell in Chaldea that can hardly restrain the servants, nor is it the half-finished command spell given to Nero by the magician Professor Simon, but a genuine command spell that is enough to make the Lancer commit suicide. .
But Leif is afraid that even such a command spell is unlikely to make the Lancer in front of him obediently commit suicide.
Therefore, he could only leave Romulus' palace with a dark face.
Stupid and stubborn.
This is Leif's evaluation of Romulus.
He could be a god, but he chose to become a human.
Although he could stay out of the ugliness, he chose to stand on the side of mankind.
Whenever he recalled his experience in Chaldea, and recalled the girl looking up at the Antarctic like a caged bird with nothing but wind and snow, Leif could not suppress his anger.
Unforgivable, hopeless.
Stupid and stubborn.
Walking out of the palace, the whole city was trembling, leaving Leif no time to worry about his anger.
Thick trees sprouted from the bottom of the city, eventually intertwining with each other to form a huge tree.
From a distance, it looks as strong as a mountain peak. It is more than enough to serve as the World Tree in Nordic mythology or Mount Buzhou in Eastern mythology.
And the entire city of Rome and Vienna was swallowed up by the giant tree - it would be better to say that the city was originally part of the giant tree.
"[My gun reaches all things] (Magna Voluisse Magnum)!"
The shouts of Romulus echoed throughout the surrounding fields and mountains.
It spreads along the river towards the sea and along the breeze towards the valley.
He wants to announce to the world, announcing the arrival of Rome (him).
Then the entire giant tree began to move on the ground. Every time the feet separated from the bottom were lifted up, countless roots would be pulled out. And every time the feet of the giant tree fell on the ground, there would be countless roots. Burrow into the ground and take root.
Then do this cycle again.
The giant tree walked slowly towards the northwest, leaving a trail of broken land behind it.
It's time to make a decision.
*************
Colonia Agrippina on the Rhine.
The city named after Nero's mother was the birthplace of Agrippina the Younger.
Before that, it was a Roman outpost called Ubiorum.
When Agrippina the Younger married Claudius and became Queen Augusta, Claudius ordered the city to be named after Agrippina the Younger.
So there was Colonia Agrippinae - the name of Colonia Agrippina appeared.
Later, the city got rid of the lengthy name of Agrippina the Younger and got another famous name of its own.
Cologne.
The legions organized by Boudica had already been waiting in the city of Cologne, waiting for the order to cross the river.
Boudica, who saw two black spots gradually appearing in the distance, felt the magic power fluctuations of the heroic spirits.
But this time she was not as nervous as before when she met the enemy.
Animusfia had already left a message to Boudicca saying that he and Nero himself would not come, and that this time it was Chaldea's fighting force who came to support her.
Boudica is still very interested in the question of what kind of servants and masters there will be in Chaldea, the future human protection organization.
Finally, a black heavy-armored swordsman holding a red-haired girl in his arms and another slightly revealing girl holding a shield came to Boudica.
The purple cloaks behind each of them showed their identities.
Boudica was stunned for two seconds when she saw Matthew's outfit.
Boudica thought her attire was bold enough, but she didn't expect it to be so extraordinary.
But when she laid her eyes on Artoria Alter's face, all this was nothing.
"Nero...Emperor?"
If she remembered correctly, Animusfia should have said that Nero and he would not show up on the battlefield here before the two parties converged.
