One man’s Chaldea

Page 30

Can they really win by themselves?

(In fact, I feel that the distribution of combat power in FGO is sometimes a bit weird. For example, Darius III, as a servant with A-level light cannon, if you haven’t read the plot, who would have known that he was killed directly by Fujimaru Ritsuka + Mashu?

At that time, Mashu didn’t even know her true Noble Phantasm.)

“I’ve already told you to trust me! Even if the sky falls, I’ll be there to hold it up for you!”

Hearing Lin Qi’s discouraging words, Nero glared at him somewhat unhappily.

Lin Qi lowered his eyes and looked into Nero’s eyes.

Suspiciously asked:

“Um, Your Majesty, are you sure you can hold on for me?”

Lin Qi is about 1.7 meters tall, while Nero is only 1.5 meters tall!

Nero was stunned for a moment.

Then he understood the hidden meaning of Lin Qi’s words.

“Height… How can I decide something like height?!”

Nero was angry and annoyed. He compared his height with Lin Qi’s and found that there was still a big gap even if he stood on tiptoe.

Her little face turned red.

“Besides, who says that it’s not okay if you’re not tall enough? I just need to raise my hands and push upwards, and I’ll be about the same height as you, right?”

Nero became more and more anxious as he spoke. He stretched his hands upwards as far as he could, and their combined height was exactly one palm higher than Lin Qi’s.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Nero put his hands on his waist and emphasized seriously:

“Even if the sky really falls down, as long as you have a little bit of foresight and lean your head to the side, I will hold on and it won’t hit you!”

I said this just to lighten the mood…

Lin Qi did not say this out loud, but gave Nero a thumbs up decisively:

“As expected of His Majesty the Emperor!”

It seems that Nero really cares about his height, so it’s better not to mention it again.

The atmosphere did become a lot more relaxed after the two of them interrupted each other.

Although practical problems still exist.

Nero’s army actually did not have an advantage. Its troop strength was far less than that of the coalition forces, and it basically relied entirely on the servant-level combat power to hold the field.

From this point of view, it would be better to just let Lu Bu and Spartacus lead the soldiers to charge into battle outside.

Anyway, even if you find it, it may not be obedient.

But in this case, they would have too little combat power to fight a decisive battle…

“Oh, I’m sorry about what happened just now. I actually knew that the leader of the other party was the God Ancestor, but I was worried about you… so I didn’t say it out loud.”

Lin Qi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.

Nero blinked.

“Hehe, if you were a person of my era, I would definitely punish you for your crime of deception!”

“But, your guess is not wrong. The appearance of the God Ancestor did scare me. If I had told you in advance, I might have backed off, and this battle would not have gone so smoothly.”

“I like your honesty! But it would be better if you could be more honest!”

“After all, you should have known all this all along, right? It’s not a good thing to never say it out loud and keep it in your heart!”

Lin Qi: “It’s just that the intensity of the battles later on might be ridiculously high, and it would be bad if I could tell you about it…”

“How dare you! If you can accept it, how can I, as the emperor, not accept it?”

……

Lin Qi still told Nero roughly everything he knew.

After getting all the information, Nero’s face fell and he was silent for a few seconds.

But no matter what they think or do, the enemy is there.

It won’t disappear out of thin air.

They will eventually face it.

The two of them walked into the city gate together, passing through the long street where there was no one.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty environment.

Finally, he stood in front of the huge palace gate.

It’s like standing at the door of the fog gate in a soul-like game.

“My guard! Are you scared?”

“A little bit…”

In fact, it has always been like this. From the moment Lin Qi stood in front of the door, his heart has been beating non-stop.

But based on Lin Qi’s experience, as long as you rush in bravely, you won’t be nervous when fighting.

Lin Qi originally thought that Nero would make some powerful pre-war mobilization speeches.

But I never thought——

“I’m actually a little scared… He’s the God Ancestor! No matter which Roman emperor encountered my situation, he would be nervous, right?”

Even Nero shuddered at the thought of going in and fighting Romulus.

Seeing this, Lin Qi smiled and said softly:

“But if His Majesty the Emperor is with me, I won’t be afraid.”

Hitting the bullseye again!

If this were some kind of game, the progress bar above Nero’s head would probably increase significantly.

“Hmm!!”

“Just based on what you said, I will let you see my true style!”

As he said that, Nero was about to open the door and pull Lin Qi in.

“Wait a moment!”

“Hmm? Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Let me apply a buff first!”

Buffing the door is also an essential part of soul-type games.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Qi was afraid that if a fight really broke out, he would have no chance to use enhancement at all.

Slowly push the door open.

The sunlight shone through the crack in the door, and everything in the palace gradually became brighter.

The two men turned their eyes and invariably fixed their gaze on Romulus who was standing in the center.

He held the strange weapon until the two men came in, then he opened his eyes.

He looked at Nero and Lin Qi who came in with a look without much emotion.

It seems like a real boss in a game.

No one spoke, Lin Qi and Nero just looked at each other briefly.

Then he nodded imperceptibly.

The next moment, Nero held the sword in both hands and turned into a red shadow and rushed out.

The sword pointed directly at Romulus’ neck.

Lin Qi was drawing runes on the spot.

This is the most commonly used and most appropriate tactic.

After all, Lin Qi’s combat skills are too poor, and most of the time his role in close combat at the front is not as useful as his long-range support at the rear.

“Qiang!”

As expected, Nero’s attack was easily blocked by Romulus with that strange weapon with one hand.

Several fireballs following Nero were also accompanied by a whistling sound.

Approaching Romulus’ body.

Romulus caught a glimpse of the incoming fireball out of the corner of his eye, but he showed no intention of resisting it.

“boom!”

The fireball exploded and flames enveloped Romulus’ body.

The attack hits, which is a happy thing.

But Lin Qi clearly saw that under the flames, Romulus’ body was not damaged at all.

Romulus simply waved his free hand casually, and the flames on his body turned into sparks and dissipated.

The other hand was even constantly blocking Nero’s attacks.

It’s like playing with a child.

He also brushed off the non-existent dust on his body.

Lin Qi was stunned.

He had been mentally prepared for Romulus’ strength, but he did not expect that Romulus would be so strong.

The rune magic he mastered couldn’t hurt him at all!

In the short time that Lin Qi was stunned.

Romulus knocked Nero back with one blow, and then appeared in front of Lin Qi in the blink of an eye.

The huge “stick” in his hand cast a shadow.

It was about to fall down.

Seeing this, Lin Qi hurriedly activated [Escaper].

Get out of the way!

The “wooden stick” passed through Lin Qi’s body and hit the ground heavily, smashing the fine floor tiles into pieces.

“Oh?”

……

Chapter 30 This is Enough

Romulus found that his attack had missed the target, and looked at Lin Qi, who was still in a virtual state, with great interest.

“Interesting ability, but…”

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had avoided Romulus’ attack. Just as he was about to run away from his attack range, he heard Romulus hitting him with another stick.

There was no other way, Lin Qi could only reopen [Escaper] which he had just closed for less than a second.

Romulus’ attacks continued to penetrate Lin Qi’s body without leaving any wounds.

But he was not in a hurry at all. With a faint smile on his face, he waved the Founding of the Nation Spear in his hand, slashing across Lin Qi’s body again and again.

Yes, he won’t be in a hurry at all.

But Lin Qi was anxious!

Lin Qi never thought that his ability was invincible. Even Obito, who could remain in the state of virtualization for five minutes, had his failures, let alone him who could only remain in the state of virtualization for five seconds?

Each of Romulus’ attacks was just right, and each time it was stuck when Lin Qi wanted to cancel the Void and refresh the cooldown, forcing Lin Qi to continuously activate [Escaper] and find no chance to buffer.

Even if Lin Qi fled in various directions, Romulus’ attack followed him like a shadow.

Five seconds… Four seconds… Three seconds… Two seconds…
