Victor's voice suddenly sounded in Fu Fu's mind, making it slightly stunned.
"what?"
At this time, Victor glanced at Kenneth's familiar, the evil spirits and the Moon Marrow Spiritual Liquid that had been shouting but not actively attacking. He probably guessed what Kenneth was thinking and chuckled, "His purpose is to bluff you so that you won't dare to pursue and entangle him out of caution."
"His purpose from the beginning should have been just to rescue..."
At the same time as Victor made his decision, Altluchi's voice was heard.
"Found it. It's in the outer area... Nearly three kilometers away, which is almost the maximum distance that the opponent's familiars and magic costumes can control."
"Tsk, this guy is really cautious."
"Damn it! Fu!" After hearing that, even Fu Fu's fist-sized brain figured it out. It immediately howled in dissatisfaction, "Then can I bite them to death, Fu?"
"Of course not."
Hearing this, Victor gave the order without hesitation: "Retreat, Fufu."
"what?"
"Don't worry, the war is still long, and there will always be a time for you to show your fame."
Victor lowered his eyes quietly and said softly, "This time, let our Director Kenneth shine for once."
Anyway...
"These are the last few highlights he can enjoy."
……
Come on, Fu...
Fu Fu was still a little unhappy. Not only did it find Kenneth's way of speaking particularly annoying, but most importantly, according to the original goal, the order Victor gave it could indeed kill Liz Baife.
It was clear that the Magic Association was part of Victor's long-term plan, so it needed to exercise restraint, but the church was different.
It's not just Victor, its hostility towards the church is no less.
It was silent for a moment, until it heard Victor's urging again in its mind, then it nodded, glanced coldly at the mercury liquid floating up and down, and slowly retreated into the shadows.
The next moment, the dead apostles that filled the surroundings slowly retreated. When the bloody aura gradually dissipated, Kenneth breathed a sigh of relief. Liz Baife fell to the ground with a thud, leaning against the wall.
"You have a lot of willpower, Master Liz." Kenneth's voice came faintly, with a hint of laughter: "It is obvious that the effect of your Osellos potion on your church members will be further reduced."
"Ahem... isn't it too early to talk about this now?" Liz Baife said weakly, "Is it sure it's gone? You have to be careful. I think it might go straight to you..."
"I know. My familiar is on guard—"
Kenneth said as a matter of course, then used the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to help everyone up and quickly retreated.
On the way, Liz Baife became much quieter. She actually noticed that the other party had given up a lot of knights, but... she moved her throat, but ultimately didn't say anything.
I just made up my mind silently.
To become stronger.
However, about two minutes later, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her body, as if the feeling of soul collapse surged again, and she was immediately stunned:
"Can your potion really last for twenty minutes?"
"Of course it's fake." Kenneth's voice came from the familiar, and he snorted and said, "It's actually up to two minutes, which is pretty good."
……
"Magicians are indeed quite cunning, huh." Artluqi commented arrogantly, wrinkling her nose and said, "Including you."
"Letting Fu Fu retreat so decisively is actually hiding one's incompetence in a sense, right?"
"It does have that meaning, but it doesn't really have much effect."
Victor heard this and shook his head slightly: "In fact, the information about Fu Fu's combat power cannot be hidden from the cardinal of the church, let alone the association with the support of Gem Master."
"In the final analysis, Fufu's role is actually only one, that is, they must devote their energy to locking Fufu's position and prevent it from breaking into the main battlefield."
"I originally thought that the person who should carry out this mission should be Euripides, but I didn't expect it to be Kenneth."
"Well, but generally speaking there is not much difference. After repelling the temptation, it's time to serve the main course."
"Tomorrow, the church's main force will be assembled, and that will be the first wave of impact we will face."
"It just so happens that the matter with the puppet has been almost dealt with."
The sky outside was already slightly pale before the rising sun. Victor walked to the edge, as if penetrating space, looking towards the distant Germany.
“People in the church always firmly believe that dawn will come.”
"Indeed." Victor chuckled and said, "There will be dawn. The church is faster than I thought, and the unity of the Magic Association is also beyond my expectations."
"Maybe, one month is still too long."
"As it stands now, it would be hard for Cornwall to last even half a month."
"But... they forgot."
At this time, in Austria, in the night, countless dead apostles are following the ancient call, and overwhelming vampires are gathering towards a certain place in the bloody moonlight.
Bai Yi Gongzheng led the other ancestors, waiting there patiently for a signal.
One, a signal to start a war.
"When the sun rises in one area, it sets in another."
"This is the world, an eternal law."
124. Good news: Aozaki Touko met the puppeteer Feim!
"You can come back more often during the day..."
"After all, there is a nine-hour difference between the UK and the Far East, which is just enough time for me to switch back and forth."
Victor thought to himself and made a decision silently -
He definitely couldn't let Saber know about this war, after all...
If Saber knew what he had done, turning her hometown into purgatory... let alone the Holy Grail War, she would probably chop him off on the head with a sword.
Therefore, before that, he must maintain the innocent identity of the puppet.
"We can put the idea of heading to the Clock Tower on the agenda. It happens that during the war, most of the monarchs are away, so my puppet identity should not be exposed."
With this thought in mind, Victor's consciousness shifted again, and when he came back, he saw Saber's resolute and serious face.
This almost made him think that his crime was exposed, and it scared him.
"Are you okay, Master?"
Fortunately, the concern in the other person's eyes did not seem fake, and Kuonji Arizuma, who heard the noise, also walked over silently.
Only then did Victor realize that he seemed to have been gone for a little too long this time.
Due to Kenneth's intervention, he did not leave in time, but patiently supervised the entire incident, causing him to waste nearly half an hour.
No wonder Saber is worried.
He subconsciously looked at Jiuyuanji Youzhu, and just when he was about to say the reason he had prepared, he saw the other party's pair of eyes as clear as autumn water looking at him quietly and suddenly asked.
"Is that real over there, or this side?"
For a moment, his words were stuck in his throat. After being stunned for a moment, he managed to say, "Over there."
"Yeah." Youzhu nodded slightly and said no more.
Victor couldn't help but ask, "How did you find out?"
He did not doubt whether Youzhu could discover his identity. After all, he had not intended to hide when he first made the copy.
Yuzu Kuonji is a traditional witch. Although she values the traditions of magicians, she herself does not belong to the magician camp.
Even Yuzu herself is indifferent to the Magic Association.
In modern times, being the only pure blood made the Magic Association's hostility towards her almost reach its peak.
From a historical perspective, although the witch-hunting movement that was so turbulent at the time was initiated by the church, the Magic Association also participated in it.
The church wants to eliminate heresy and black magic, while the Magic Association needs to hunt witches to obtain precious spell bodies and materials.
Of course, you can say that the main body of the witch hunt was aimed at the "black witches" at the time, but... unfortunately, in the classification of the Magic Association, black magic is still considered part of the witch system.
Just think about it and you will know where the Magic Association is sitting.
"Because I don't have a mask?"
Victor asked curiously, and Kuonji Yuju did not hide anything, and silently shook her head and said: "The aura on your body is gone."
The breath of a witch.
Ah this...
Victor was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he still didn't understand why his true self had the aura of a witch. Could it be that his mother was really a witch? !
The two of them fell silent again, causing Saber, who was standing by and didn't understand what was going on, to blink in bewilderment.
She thought about it and decided not to ask about the master. She just stood aside solemnly, fulfilling her duties as a knight diligently.
……
after one day.
Victor once again reinforced the Holy Grail system under Ryuudo Temple. After confirming that he could not analyze and replicate the Holy Grail in a short period of time, Victor began to consider learning the behavior of the Thousand Worlds Tree and directly packing up the entire cave under Ryuudo Temple and taking it away.
But obviously, considering the distance between the Far East and Europe, and the fact that he really has no time to spare, Victor is not in a hurry.
Let him fulfill his obligations first. Kenneth's position in the El-Melloi faction must be given to him!
Victor embarked on the journey home with Kuonji Yuzu, and when he used the rest time to transfer his consciousness to the battlefield again.
The assault on the church had already been carried out twice.
It was evening in Cornwall. Victor sensed something and found that the dead in the city were fine, but the army of more than 300,000 zombies had lost at least one-third of them visibly.
Of course, on the huge battlefield in front, with the support of subordinates and even a few senior Dead Apostles, ordinary first-class agents and even magicians will be restricted, so in terms of consumption alone, the casualties of the church are not low.
Even if it takes dozens of zombies to exchange for one knight and one cultist, it is still a profit.
War.
Victor thought quietly, many people think that war is a competition of high-level strength, but it is not like that.
For example, he once explained this to Altluchi and restricted her actions.
"The essence of war is the means to achieve what each side needs, not the end."
Destroying a city with one strike is indeed very easy for high-level forces, but... if you let the high-level forces fight to the death and make desperate moves on the overall situation right from the start, it is actually no different from modern warfare and dropping a nuclear bomb right away.
Although the two atomic bombs dropped on the Far East were one of the main factors in the decision to surrender, the bigger reason was the complete defeat on the European battlefield.
Of course, high-level officials will not take action easily, but that doesn’t mean they won’t take action.
Victor looked at the starry sky and realized that the war would escalate.
From the initial test, the troops engaged in battle, from machine guns, cannons to bombers and missiles.
As long as neither side gives in, then - the chips of both sides will be further increased and invested continuously!
"Any news from Feim?"
Thinking of this, Victor turned around and asked.
"No, but the Magic Association should have discovered it and taken action."
Altluqi shook her head slightly, holding her chin and continued to look at Victor's cold profile: "But Meilian has sent a message, it has been confirmed that he has defected."
"Oh? That's... quite decisive."
……
Since Feim is a rich man, he is responsible for material supply and cutting off the enemy's supply and communication lines.
The former was easy for him, and the latter... the latter was not difficult either.
Although he has few followers among the Dead Apostles, surprisingly, Feim's connections are spread all over the world, not even limited to magicians.
Yes, it was outrageous that he could even communicate with some church priests and magic families through secular connections.
Of course, the other party didn’t know that the final result would be given to Feim, but even if he guessed part of it, so what?
