My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 625: Immortal Ace Soldier

On a night when no one knows, roses and fairy tales are intertwined, weaving a gorgeous drama between life and death.

According to Hakuno's observation, the soldiers summoned by Alice and the others have four suits, which are the suits of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs on playing cards. Their distinguishing features are reflected in their weapons and the robes they cover, but their abilities are not much different.

They are all small fry who can't last more than three rounds in Nero's hands.

This was certainly due to the fact that the fifth Roman emperor was extremely powerful, but the more crucial reason was that the abilities of these soldiers were not reflected in combat.

With a sound of "ripping", accompanied by a sound effect resembling that of playing cards being torn, three more soldiers were chopped off diagonally by the Primordial Fire, and their bodies fell to the ground. However, there was no excitement on Nero and Bai Ye's faces, because only a few seconds later, the body that was split into two came together again, without even the need for adjustment. The soldiers who had recovered their original appearance stepped forward indifferently, swinging their weapons mechanically.

It's not a question of not chopping them into pieces enough. Nero and Hakuno have already tried it. These soldiers all have a strong immortality. Even if they are burned to ashes by fire, they will recover to their original appearance in a moment and rejoin the army.

If this battle is compared to a game, it is definitely the worst and most boring one - there is no combat experience, no reward feedback, no sense of accomplishment... It is just like an old farmer facing the loess and working hard, knowing that he is doing hard and tiring work, but he has to do so for a living. This boring stalemate is simply driving people crazy.

But even this state of being invincible is just an illusion. The soldiers can still be resurrected, but Nero's physical strength is losing all the time. If he gets entangled for too long, he will most likely be dragged to death by the miscellaneous soldiers.

If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.

This cannot go on any longer. Alice and her friends are now in control. In order to break the deadlock, they must change their tactics first.

But while Bai Ye was quickly thinking of a strategy, doubts inevitably arose in his heart.

Even immortality has a limit. If there are only a few of them, it is still reasonable. However, hundreds or thousands of soldiers have this characteristic and have real attack capabilities...how terrifying will the consumption be?

Hakuno remembered another Holy Grail War that Sakutsuki had mentioned to her. The King of Conquerors Iskandar, who descended as a Rider, had also summoned his own army. However, those soldiers would also die if they were killed, and the amount of magic power required for the King's Army was so great that the King only used his Noble Phantasm a few times until he retired.

So, how did Alice and her servant Tong Yao achieve this level? Was it because of her special nature as a ghost? But Tong Yao is not as well-known as the famous King of Conquerors, so why did she master such a treasure?
There must be some secret hidden inside...

"Ouch!" Nero gasped heavily. Her movements became deformed due to fatigue. She failed to block the attack in time and was hit on the back by the two bulletin boards of Spade and Diamond. The red gauze flew everywhere. Her face turned bitter in pain and she quickly drew back her sword to block.

Emerald green light spread, rapidly restoring her strength. Bai Ye checked her remaining magical power and knew that she could not delay any longer.

"Saber, don't worry about me for now, go attack Alice and Tong Yao!"

Although he felt sad, Bai Ye still took out the protective items from his backpack and smashed them. The goddess' wings fell down, and the poker soldiers smashed their weapons. Apart from a few ripples, there was no sign of life.

The Goddess's Blessing, a B-rank protective item, was personally selected by Shuoyue for Bai Ye. It is a magic costume with a very high cost-effectiveness.

Its defensive capabilities are comparable to A-level items. Its disadvantage is that this goddess seems to be from ancient Greece. Its favor comes and goes as fast as a tornado, and lasts for only forty-five seconds. This means that Nero must break out of the army in less than a minute and capture Alice and Tong Yao.

As for Nero, who had been holding back his anger for a long time——

"enough!"

The moment the words fell, a flaming meteor lit up in the center of the surging crowd. With the support of Hakuno's spell, Nero pulled himself together, and with the help of the airflow from the flame explosion, he rushed out in a straight line at an extremely fast speed. His beloved sword cut through all obstacles along the way, and he attacked Alice on the high cliff without slowing down.

Everyone knows that one must capture the leader first. Nero also agrees with Bai Ye's choice. As long as Alice and Tong Yao can be captured, these soldiers will be afraid to act rashly.

"Woohoo! The ghost is here to catch people!"

"No, should we say it's the devil?" The menacing flames were clearly very close, but the two little queens of black and white were not panicking at all. Instead, they were enthusiastically discussing the appropriate name. Hearing Nero's gnashing teeth, he cut the guards who rushed up into pieces and stepped forward.

"Haha, you actually called me a ghost or a devil... You naughty little girls need to be taught a lesson!"

As if sensing Nero's anger, Alice and Tong Yao exchanged a glance, crouched down with their heads in their hands, and shouted in unison:
"Ah - how scary! Come and save us, knights!"

"What?!" Nero and Bai Ye were both stunned when they heard this.

knight?

But the people nearby are all weak playing card soldiers. Where can we find a knight riding a white horse and descending from the sky to rescue the princess?
At this moment, Bai Ye, who was hiding under the shelter, found that the soldiers besieging her paused, and then fell down in large numbers like wheat being cut, and turned into tiny points of bright light and drifted away.

What's happening here?
Bai Ye was confused.

This is what is said in the legend, you guys fell down before I even exerted any strength?

Before she could react, the sound of horse hooves crushed the flames. On the high cliff, a knight in full armor, holding a lance, came galloping silently. The tip of the lance flashed coldly and went straight for the head of the red-skirted emperor.

The knight really appeared!
Ding--

The sword and the spear tip collided, and the recoil force made Nero's wrist numb. She screamed, and the red flame flew out as if it was real, but was picked up by another rider who followed closely behind.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.

The soldiers around Bai Ye seemed to be killed by an invisible force. They fell one after another and turned into spiritual light and dissipated. Instead, one after another, heavily armored knights on tall horses walked out of the void. They were wearing heavy armor with four kinds of patterns, wearing dark helmets, and their lances were engraved with gorgeous patterns. The war horses, also wearing black armor, were silent, pacing with their hooves, and surrounded the lonely red skirt.

After a rough count, there were seven of them.

"Our knights are coming!" Under the protection of the Knights, Alice spun around excitedly, her aqua blue skirt dancing gracefully, while Tong Yao sat upright on a small chair, giving orders with a smile.

"Kill them!"

The knights silently raised their lances and charged towards Nero without any martial ethics; on the other side, although a large number of soldiers disappeared, even if there were only a few hundred people left, Bai Ye would not be able to resist. As time passed, the goddess's protection was already crumbling. The girl looked at the weapons that rained down on her wings, and her face gradually turned pale.

She ordered Nero to implement the decapitation tactic, but as Alice and Tong Yao turned over another card, it actually accelerated their predicament!
"Player!"

Of course Nero was aware of Hakuno's danger. She wanted to turn around and go back to rescue her master, but well-trained knights rode over on horseback. One of them handed over a heavy spear, one swept towards her legs, and another pulled the reins, and the heavily armed warhorse stood up and smashed towards her head!

"Be bold!"

Nero roared, and the flaming sword flashed, cutting off the head of the warhorse that tried to trample on his face. He then jumped high on the lance and held the sword high to block the lance's thrust. With the sharp sound of metal collision, the petite figure of the young emperor flew backwards, right in the direction of Bai Ye.

He actually used the opponent's force to counter him and took the opportunity to retreat!

"Wow..." Alice didn't expect the big sister in the red dress to perform so well. She was stunned for a moment, but Tong Yao reacted quickly. She frowned and waved her fist. The two knights threw the reins, swooped down on their horses behind Nero, jumped high, and swung their spears across each other in tacit coordination, like an X-shaped shackle, holding Nero back!
boom!
Nero's back was hit by the gun barrel, and her chest felt stuffy. Blood flowed up her throat and she was forced to swallow it. She fell heavily to the ground. Her dance costume was already tattered, and she looked surprisingly beautiful in a desolate way.

But the seven knights were unharmed. Even the knight whose horse's head was chopped off managed to mount his horse again after a moment and return to the team as if nothing had happened.

These knights with four kinds of colors printed on them are actually immortal!
