Kill Two Birds with One Stone / Chaldea Is on Its Way ...

Although the Old Man of the Mountain could easily deal with the Purification Knight, the Knights of the Round Table Purification Knight discover them afterward.

Previously, many Old Man of the Mountain had dealt with the Purification Knight, which led to the discovery of their villages by the Knights of the Round Table.

In order to save the villagers, they had no choice but to fight the Knights of the Round Table openly, and the outcome was predictable: they died a horrific death.

It's Purification Knight are quite disgusting creatures. If you don't deal with them, their patrol area will only expand to the point of being a major headache.

Thanks to the Purification Knight, the Mountain People's range of activity became smaller and smaller, and they had to relocate from time to time.

This clearly gave the other Old Man of the Mountain a major headache.

To defeat the Purification Knight, one must contend with the Knights of the Round Table.

If they were to challenge the Knights of the Round Table, they would inevitably attract the attention of the Lion King.

Is there any chance of survival if the Lion King sets his sights on them? Obviously not... Some Hassan are stronger than the Knights of the Round Table, and they can even confront Knights of the Round Table head-on.

Then those Hassan died tragically under the Lion King's holy spear, unable to escape, and were simply blasted into dust.

Now that the Purification Knight have voluntarily left and are no longer planning to carry out sweeping missions, this is a great thing for the Old Man of the Mountain.

"This is a great thing for us. If all goes well, I can use this news to recruit a group of... relatively powerful troops."

When the topic turned to 'a relatively powerful force', Hassan of the Hundred Faces looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Hmph~ They're obviously afraid of our My King's power, so they've decided to cower in the Holy City," Amon said with considerable pride.

Clearly, in his view, the Purification Knight's strange behavior was caused by his fear of someone's terrifying power.

"That's a possibility, or it's possible that their plan is nearing completion and they no longer need to deal with us," Hassan of the Hundred Faces said calmly.

Chapter 382 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Is it nearing its end?

Mikaela frowned slightly. He didn't think it was coming to an end. He knew that when Chaldea and the others arrived in the original story, the Lion King was still continuing the Holy Selection Expedition.

They will definitely not come to an end at this point unless something unexpected happens.

"Could it be that we really have to have a final battle?" Mikaela thought of Mordred, and at the same time, she thought of how the Lion King had deliberately made her repay a favor.

Does the other party think that she would be eager to attack?

"Foolish! Do you think the Lion King's plan is merely to take in humans?"

As Mikaela began to calmly reflect, Amon had already started to look down on Hassan of the Hundred Faces, saying with considerable disdain, "As expected, your wisdom is still inferior to ours."

"I'm just judging from the most rational perspective," Hassan of the Hundred Faces said irritably. If it were in the past, he probably would have argued with Amon to the bitter end.

However, he himself is not sure whether the Lion King's success is due to the completion of the plan or because of Lady Ella.

After all, the Lion King had no need to send the Purification Knight back to the Holy City. In the eyes of Hassan, the Purification Knight were a cheap and efficient fighting force.

This stuff is disgusting, and the quantity is completely unknown.

Judging from their extensive searches for the Mountain People and Old Man of the Mountain across various regions, and the fact that the Knights of the Round Table always brought a large number of Purification Knight to besiege them whenever they appeared, their numbers were definitely quite substantial.

These numerous and capable puppet cannon fodder caused Hassan men a great deal of trouble.

If Hassan of the Hundred Faces was the Lion King, even if the plan succeeded, wouldn't he have taken him back and continued to cause trouble for the enemy?

"Rationality, how ridiculous." Amon continued to scorn Hassan of the Hundred Faces, saying, "Your so-called rationality is simply laughable to me. You should know that the Lion King is a god assimilated by the Holy Lance. She has no emotions whatsoever. In her eyes, unless it is an unavoidable disaster, she will do everything she can to ensure that her plans proceed smoothly."

Indeed, Amon knew the Lion King very well, even though he had been subdued by Pharaoh King Ramesses II, he still knew the world very well.

After all, that guy was the Goetia was most wary of at the beginning. The Lion King is a living god. If she uses all her powers to fight against them, the plan may not fail, but it may also encounter some big trouble.

Fortunately, the Lion King chose to remain silent. Instead of rebelling against Goetia, she quietly came to a Singularity to build her own kingdom and protect humanity in her own way.

Of course, Goetia approved of her method of protection, because perhaps only noble humans deserve to live.

"So she abandoned her original plan and used all her power to protect her city, clearly because she sensed the power of our My King! Knowing that she could not disobey our My King, she took this action."

Amon said it with great certainty.

This made Hassan of the Hundred Faces's lips twitch slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. You're such a sycophant. He had already made it clear that this was just a rational analysis.

As a result, he was rebuffed by the other party. Although Hassan of the Hundred Faces admitted that Lady Ella was very strong and that he could even ignore the Pharaoh King and the Lion King, some things can be analyzed rationally and the information obtained is completely different.

"Have all the Purification Knight returned?" Mikaela suddenly asked. Because he went to pick up the Shopkeeper's Daughter, he seemed to have missed the Hassan meeting, and had fought with Mordred in the middle, and also chatted with 'himself' from different timelines and worlds.

He now has no idea whether all the Purification Knight have withdrawn.

This is quite important intelligence. Given the Lion King's personality, even if a full-scale war breaks out, he will not give up the advantages he has worked so hard to build.

The Purification Knight patrolled constantly, which in a sense compressed the Old Man of the Mountain's territory, forcing them to move ever closer to the 'center'.

Although this method is slow, it is reliable. It is estimated that it will not be long before a large number of Mountain People and refugee camps will be discovered by the Purification Knight.

The Old Man of the Mountain must also hold tight to his power in order to withstand the attacks of several Knights of the Round Table.

Now that the Lion King has recalled the Purification Knight, it would be unreasonable to say that he is only preparing for war.

"They're all preparing to go back." Hassan of the Hundred Faces nodded and answered Mikaela very seriously, "We've been closely monitoring the movements of the Purification Knight. Three hours ago, when you were building the house, Lady Ella."

"The Purification Knight began a full retreat. They didn't even pay attention to the wild beasts that passed by, but headed straight for the outskirts of the Holy City."

"This is bad." Mikaela suddenly sighed, his tone somewhat helpless. "Bai Mao, go and assemble the troops. Gather those who can fight as quickly as possible. The real battle will begin tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Amon was also a little confused, not knowing what the king was talking about.

"That means she's going to launch an attack." Mikaela raised her head and looked calmly toward the direction of the Holy City. "I guess once the Purification Knight from the desert return, she will unleash the power of the Holy Lance to wipe us out."

Clearly, the great battle the Lion King spoke of was imminent, a prelude to forcing the Old Man of the Mountain and Mikaela to attack the Holy City.

The previous sweep by the Purification Knight and the Knights of the Round Table had already forced the Mountain People into a 'very small' place. At this point, the Lion King only needs to slowly bombard them with his Noble Phantasm.

It should only take three days!

Then the living area of Mountain People and the Old Man of the Mountain will completely disappear!

Regardless of the effectiveness in killing enemies, this will completely destroy the Mountain People's habitat, and they may even be forced to move to desert areas or new places to build houses and obtain food.

The house is simple; Mikaela can make it.

But... what about the food? The surrounding monsters and beasts will surely be wiped out by the Holy Lance's attack. Even if we prepared the rations in advance, it's too late now.

"!!!!!!!!!!"

Hassan of the Hundred Faces's expression changed drastically; he seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation.

"This is bad." Arash also looked up, as if he had seen something, and said in a very serious tone, "We don't have much time left."

"Either launch a full-scale attack, or wait for the Purification Knight to return completely, and then accept the Lion King's holy lance bombardment." Amon understood, and he couldn't help but nod, quite admiringly saying, "Given the current situation, that Lion King guy did a really good job."

Killing two birds with one stone, the Old Man of the Mountain are definitely not ready for battle right now.

Mikaela also failed to filter out all the impurities from the Holy Grail's magic, so although she can win the battle now, she is at a great disadvantage.

In a sense, The Lion King really hit Mikaela's sore spot.

Chapter 383 Chaldea is on its way

"I can block all of the Lion King's Noble Phantasm, but there's no need," Mikaela said calmly.

If the Lion King were to unleash his Noble Phantasm to bombard the village of the Mountain People as they imagined, Mikaela would be able to intercept all of the Lion King's Noble Phantasm.

The logic is simple: Mikaela can take out the Holy Lance and use the immense magical power of the Holy Grail to directly engage the Lion King in a true clash of Noble Phantasm.

In this way, the Mountain People would not have to flee, and the Old Man of the Mountain would have time to organize a force to defeat the Lion King.

However, the price is that Mikaela has to expend a lot of magic power to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

Mikaela considered this a huge waste, and he wouldn't waste his magic like that.

"Is there any other way?" Arash asked Mikaela. Although he was confident that he could block that Noble Phantasm, he knew that once he released his own Noble Phantasm, he would surely die.

Therefore, unless it's a crucial moment in a battle, Arash is reluctant to use his Noble Phantasm to directly withstand another's Noble Phantasm.

"Yes, that is to combine our existing forces and launch a strong attack on the Holy City." Mikaela couldn't help but rub her temples and sighed, "However, our existing forces are too weak. I can only focus on dealing with the Lion King by myself. Although I have ways to deal with the other Servant, the possibility of unexpected events is too great."

If the magic of the Goetia Holy Grail is completely filtered out, Mikaela will directly storm the Holy City and fight alone against the Knights of the Round Table and an unknown number of Purification Knight, openly confronting the Lion King.

The impurities in the Holy Grail of Goetia were completely filtered out.

Therefore, Mikaela's endurance will obviously be increased by about half. The less magic power she consumes, the longer Mikaela can fight.

But the Goetia Holy Grail hasn't been completely filtered yet, so they're going straight to fight the Lion King.

Mikaela felt that after defeating the Lion King, the Holy Grail magic that Goetia had created would probably be completely exhausted.

Defeating the Lion King drained all my magic power, so what will happen to Tiamat's plan to slaughter the gods?

Therefore, Mikaela felt that it was time to launch the final battle ahead of schedule. The best solution at present was to use the strength and influence of Hassan and others, combined with her own strength, Arash's strength, and Amon's strength, to launch a strong attack on the Holy City.

"Contractor".

At that moment, a majestic voice rang out from all around. King Hassan appeared out of nowhere, and as soon as he appeared, Amon immediately stepped in front of Mikaela.

Arash instinctively drew his bow as well.

Hassan of the Hundred Faces immediately covered his head.

Clearly, compared to Amon and Arash's instinctive protection of Mikaela, Hassan of the Hundred Faces was more concerned about whether his head was still on his neck.

There was no way around it; King Hassan's voice was simply too terrifying.

During his lifetime, Hassan of the Hundred Faces only met King Hassan once, when the other's words sounded like the whispers of a demon in his ear.

"A hundred faces? What did you accomplish with your countless wisdoms? A hundred selves vying for the desire of a single belief? Fool—hand over your head!"

Then Hassan of the Hundred Faces's head fell off.

"Oh~ Grand Assassin."

Although Amon was afraid of the old man who had suddenly appeared, he still mustered his courage and looked at King Hassan very seriously, saying, "What business do you have with my My King?"

"..." King Hassan glanced at Amon calmly, ignoring him, and said to Mikaela calmly, "Relying on 'them' alone is not enough to become your fighting force. You need to win over that kid Sun King. His goals are almost identical to yours."

"The Sun King? Could it be that Pharaoh?" Arash understood what King Hassan meant. He frowned and said, "We've already fallen out with that Pharaoh. If we go to find him, won't it be easy to fight him?"

Indeed, the last time I met Ramesses II, the other man seemed very enthusiastic towards me.

However, his attitude towards the Little Master was anything but pleasant. If it weren't for King Hassan's sudden intervention, Arash felt that a major battle might have broken out in that Grand Temple.

"Not only the Sun King, but also a Knights of the Round Table who did not accept the Lion King's summons will appear in the Sun King's territory. Because you have 'that guy's' aura on you, he will inevitably come to your side," King Hassan said calmly.

"Knights of the Round Table who didn't answer the Lion King's summons?" Hassan of the Hundred Faces raised his head at this moment. He didn't look directly at King Hassan, but asked in surprise, "Could he be a potential enemy?"

In Hassan of the Hundred Faces's eyes, the Knights of the Round Table are mortal enemies! Those Knights of the Round Table who were not summoned by the Lion King are likely potential enemies of this world.

This was Hassan of the Hundred Faces's first thought, while Mikaela pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something and asked with some surprise, "Bedivere?"

"... It seems the contractor already knows." King Hassan wasn't surprised that Mikaela got this information from somewhere, but said very calmly, "He's like that little girl from Chaldea, Knights of the Round Table who will definitely stand by your side. In the near future, Chaldea will also come to this Singularity."

"Hmm?" Mikaela frowned slightly, his tone somewhat strange. "How could this be? They shouldn't have come so early."

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Amon suddenly coughed and said in a rather guilty tone, "It's because of that guy Flauros. He tipped off the Chaldea beings that Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't wait to meet you after just finishing the Second Singularity, so he wanted to skip the previous Singularity and come to the Sixth Singularity."

That's right, it was all Flauros's doing. It was definitely not me who was mocking him in the Temple of Time. Flauros got angrier and angrier and told Fujimaru Ritsuka about it without saying a word.

Upon learning that her Sister Ella was in the Sixth Singularity, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't even rest and wanted to rush to the Sixth Singularity to see Mikaela immediately.

"Him?" Mikaela frowned, looking calmly at Amon and saying indifferently, "How could he possibly know I'm here? Logically speaking, apart from Goetia, the other Demon God Pillar shouldn't know of my existence."

"It was Goetia who said it." Amon immediately calmed down and said seriously, "He discovered your existence and held a meeting in the Temple of Time. He specifically told Flauros to have Fujimaru Ritsuka come and see you so that you can see her growth."

"..." Mikaela gave Amon a deep look and said calmly, "There will be no next time. If there is a next time, then you don't need to stay by my side anymore."

"Yes!" Amon's face lit up with joy. Did the king forgive his actions?!

Chapter 384 Returning to the Desert

Under King Hassan's guidance, Mikaela prepared to set off to win over Ramesses II.

Whether the other party will become angry and fight you is not important. The key is that Bedivere, who appeared in the desert, must be subdued.

Moreover, according to Amon, the Chaldea group will probably be arriving soon.

This gave Mikaela a bit of a headache. What was going on? Fujimaru Ritsuka had even learned to skip levels?!
