"Warcraft?"
Even after correcting the two singularities of Fuyuki City and France, this was the first time Matthew heard such a name from Leonardo da Vinci.
However, Matthew still knew some basic knowledge about Warcraft.
Such as Cathy Palug, the cat demon in Arthurian legend, and the demon pig that killed Diarmuid in Irish Celtic mythology.
Fantasy species slightly different from "dragon species", monsters with powerful magical power.
Speaking of which, Fufu, the mysterious creature that appeared in Chaldea, should also be included in the category of Warcraft.
However, Mashu, who has gradually become familiar with Fufu, has already regarded Fufu as an important partner.
It would be a bit inappropriate to simply classify it as a Warcraft.
"Um."
Da Vinci's image nodded in front of Mashu.
"The strength of the magic power is roughly similar to the flying dragon you encountered last time in France. It is not a particularly difficult enemy."
"but....."
Matthew's voice was full of doubts.
"Is this era an era where Warcraft should appear?"
Although becoming a singularity has caused the concentration of magic power in Rome to be much higher than that in later generations, it has given room for magic that only belongs to the Age of Gods to bloom again.
But the current Rome, after all, should have been verified by historical records and belongs to the era of man.
"That's something I've been thinking about."
Da Vinci nodded again, confirming Matthew's doubts.
"Although the age of gods in Britain or Japan on the island country will end quite late, the age of gods on the land of Rome will undoubtedly end after the birth of the [Messiah]."
"In other words, Rome led by Miss Nero should no longer be the age of the gods, right?"
"Yes, although there are still many remnants of the Age of Gods in Rome due to time issues, in general, on this [World Island] composed of three continents, the Age of Gods has ended. Including Warcraft Although the fantasy species can still hide somewhere and survive, most of them should have moved to the inside of the world."
Just like a layer of fabric (Texture) covering the original world, the old world of legends of the gods is covered by the world of humans.
"So the enemies we are aware of now are the remaining fantasy species after the end of the Age of Gods?"
Facing Ma Xiuxin's question, Leonardo da Vinci shook his head with great conviction.
"No, it is almost certain that these monsters belong to the combat power of the [United Empire]. No matter how close it is to the end of the Age of Gods, the current 60 years is already the era after the end of the Age of Gods. Moreover, the end of the Age of Gods is not It was completed in an instant after the birth of the Messiah, but after a decline that lasted for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it came to an end with the Messiah as a symbol.”
While being a pure god, he is also a pure human being.
The Triune Messiah provided the final bridge between God and man.
It is cyan between green and blue.
That's cyan that can be counted as both green and blue.
So much so that the terrorists who later developed in the Arab region could only call their founder the "last prophet."
Not the last god.
Although he was not actually much different from a god, and was even forced to enter the inside of the world after AD, the prophet still failed to become a god.
After ascending to heaven, Muhammad returned to earth and finally died as a human being.
"One or two fantasy species are lingering in different corners of the world, hidden beyond the scope of human cognition and imprisoned in a world where the Age of Gods has ended. This is an acceptable situation, and it is not unreasonable even if it is discovered. Things. But if dozens of monsters are heading towards a target location at the same time like now————”
"It's so obvious."
Artoria Alt summarized Leonardo da Vinci's words.
To say that there was no human intervention after this, it is simply due to the fact that for some unknown reason, the Warcraft suddenly started to migrate collectively from the Black Forest behind the Rhine towards Cologne, like wildebeests in Africa——————
Probably no one would believe this.
"But even if the opponent's number is not large, ordinary soldiers still can't contain them."
Boudica frowned.
"The combat power we have now includes three cavalry servants. As long as we spend some time, we should be able to defeat the enemy easily."
"That's the theory, Matthew."
Arturia glanced at Mash and then said:
"If we completely abandon Cologne as a premise and turn Cologne into a battlefield, a dozen Warcraft will certainly not be a problem."
"Eh?"
The cool night wind passed through the tents stationed outside Cologne, and the flags embroidered with the legion's emblems rustled in the wind.
The small vibrations coming from the ground kept getting bigger, confirming the movements of the monsters in the distance.
I'm afraid each of them is several times taller than the largest elephant.
For a moment, the area where Matthew and Boudica Artoria were was fell into silence.
Even Da Vinci in the image fell silent for a moment.
"...With us alone, it is certainly not a problem to defeat those monsters, but if we want to completely keep them out of the city...it will be difficult."
Matthew looked behind him at the city that was completely plunged into darkness.
Although Cologne is now just a newly developed colony, which is far less than the splendor and population of the previous city of Rome, the lives living in it will not lose value because of their number.
"But...even though it's not yet mature, but including me, we already have three heroic spirits capable of fighting. In this case, only one person needs to deal with four...no, five to completely stop those heroes. Is it a monster?"
Da Vinci said with some embarrassment:
"Judging from the opponent's magic level, dealing with three of them at the same time is probably your limit, Mashu."
"As long as I work harder!"
Matthew gritted his teeth and looked at Cologne behind him again.
She still wants to preserve this hometown where many people live.
At least she didn't want Cologne to turn into a battlefield and eventually turn into ruins because of her own powerlessness.
"And just in case, the Master must be protected, so the only combat force we can really put into frontline combat is two cavalry servants. The army can only be regarded as the icing on the cake."
Arturia calmly interrupted Mash's show of aggression.
"We don't have to choose between saving Cologne or destroying Cologne, but now we only have room to start a war in Cologne - in the final analysis, this is the fate of the frontline city. And after luring the monsters to the city, we can Reduce the casualties of the army and allow the Master to maintain a safe distance from the monsters."
"But......"
Matthew bit his lip reluctantly.
If Animusfia were here, she would probably sacrifice Cologne without hesitation.
Animusfia basically recounted what he had done during his recent arrival in Rome, the singularity point.
Including Massalia, which was looted and plundered indirectly by Animusfia, and Florence, which was directly burned by him.
Animusfia is someone who can make such a choice, even if she knows it is wrong.
But Matthew is different from Animusfia. She can't forgive herself for not being able to save the person in front of her, and it's even harder for her to sacrifice others.
"The director will definitely make this choice without hesitation...but I still can't do the same thing as him. I neither will nor can I use Cologne as a victim."
An unexpected voice reached Mashu's ears, and she turned around in surprise.
"senior!"
What caught Mashu's eyes was a red-haired girl who woke up at some point and was dressed neatly, with a purple cloak fluttering in the wind behind her.
"I will fight with you and try my best to keep all the monsters out, so that they can't even step into Cologne."
The girl looked firmly at her servants, including Boudica.
