“No problem. I’ve just recovered some wyverns, and I’ll have them take some communicators over to you.”
Upon seeing this, Marne agreed without hesitation; he and Olga Marie had discussed this matter that morning.
After giving a few more instructions, Marne put Jeanne Alter in charge of the newly recovered swarm of wyverns.
They built a bunch of communicators and had the wyverns carry them to Gudako's location.
The wyvern is quite fast and has the advantage of ignoring terrain in the air, so it was delivered in just over an hour. Ma'en also received a reply from Gudako.
"You can stay there for now, and let us know if anything happens."
"Ok."
Gudako, realizing she had been kicked out of the first tier and transferred to logistics, replied somewhat dejectedly.
Seeing this, Mashu comforted her, "Senior, don't be sad. Our mission is also very important. We're practically guarding the headquarters right now."
"Haha, my daughter knows how to talk. That's right, Ritsuka, the assistance from Feilanxi is very important. It can achieve several times, or even ten times, the effect of our own search."
···
"The key lies with these officials who gave the orders; you must protect them well."
Maren, who hadn't hung up the call yet, chimed in, instantly brightening Gudako's mood.
"I understand! Don't worry, we will defend this place to the death."
"So easily fooled," Ma En muttered, and hung up the call.
However, he wasn't really lying to Gudako; the assistance from Flamsey's side was indeed important.
However, this has nothing to do with those officials; their role is merely to set the stage. Even if they die, the soldiers below will still assist Chaldea.
Meanwhile, on Gudako's side, after being startled by the group of wyverns, the officials immediately began to excitedly order the selection of the best riders and strongest soldiers from the garrison to ride these wyverns.
... 0
Send them with communicators and government documents to various parts of Flandre, and have all Flandre troops cooperate in the search for Marshal Black.
The operation was going very smoothly, except for a minor hiccup in the middle.
When the decree was sent to a garrison near Lyon, a mutiny broke out there shortly afterward, and news came back that Giles had been captured.
When Ma En received Gudako's message, he was stunned for a moment and rushed over.
What they found was Giles, his face ashen, being held captive by two soldiers. He wasn't the Black Marshal, but rather the White Marshal who lived in this singularity, before he transformed into the big-eyed, adorable figure. He wasn't even a Heroic Spirit; he was still a living person.
The moment Maren saw him, he understood what was going on and couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.
Jeanne Alter burst out laughing, while Jeanne d'Arc covered her face, unable to bear the sight.
"Old man, is something wrong?"
Mashu realized something was wrong and her joy at catching the culprit vanished. She quickly asked...
Marx and Engels explained the difference between the two marshals, and everyone suddenly realized what was going on. With somewhat complicated expressions, they quickly released Marshal Bai.
Marshal Bai looked at the group of officials and his subordinates who had just suddenly rebelled and detained him, all of whom were smiling and apologizing. There were three words he had to say in his heart!
"You're arresting Black Marshal! What does that have to do with me, Giles!" (Lu Xun.jpg)
Nine.
Chapter 300 Joint Search, Tricked, Mar and Eng: ! General! ?
"Hahahaha!"
Marshal Bai's shout only made things worse, as it caused Ma En to burst out laughing.
Mashu and Gudako also burst into laughter. The officials and their subordinates, who had been looking apologetic, couldn't help but laugh and quickly turned their faces away to avoid being seen laughing by Marshal White.
Even Joan of Arc and Teacher George couldn't hold back. Joan of Arc quickly turned away, while Teacher George, true to form, merely raised the corner of his mouth before suppressing it again.
For a moment, Marshal Bai's face turned extremely ugly, completely out of place with the joy of the others.
The world where only Marshal Bai was injured was thus completed.
However, that smile made the slight suspicion that had been there about Marshal White, which stemmed from knowing that the murderer was the future Giles, disappear.
Regardless of what that Black Marshal did, the current White "507" Marshal is still a Marshal of Bolognese.
After the little farce, everything returned to normal.
However, Marshal Bai did not leave, but stayed to take over command.
Firstly, he is better at this kind of scheduling, and secondly...
The whole world is looking for that other "him" now, but no one knows the difference between the two. It's too much trouble to explain, so he simply won't leave. Going out would only cause more trouble.
It's worth mentioning that Marshal Bai also said the same things that were mentioned in the original work to Jeanne d'Arc, which was roughly that Flandre had wronged her by leaving Yunqu, but Jeanne d'Arc didn't care.
"We can't reach it, Marshal. Give up."
After learning the whole story, the White Marshal apologized to Jeanne Alter on her behalf, shifting the blame onto his alternate self. (Black Marshal: Thank you!)
Similarly, Jeanne Alter didn't care either; she only had eyes for Marne right now, so she wouldn't care about such trivial matters.
After that, Marne, along with the two Jeanne d'Arcs, continued their journey to retrieve the wyverns, as well as Fafnir and the two lone berserk Servants.
The others, upon learning of the farce, simply laughed it off and continued their search.
Under Marshal Bai's command, the remaining troops of Flandre, including soldiers and even civilians, quickly sprang into action, conducting thorough searches of cities, towns, and villages.
Unfortunately, no trace of the Black Marshal has been found.
As the sun set and another night fell, all human settlements were thoroughly searched, but the Black Marshal was still nowhere to be found.
"Is it in the wild? But how could he cause trouble in the wild?"
At the joint headquarters of Chaldea and Flamch, which was originally the Flamch Temporary Internal Affairs Office, everyone had returned and was having dinner and resting.
When Marx and Engels heard Marshal Bai's report on the results of the searches in various places, they couldn't help but frown.
His impression of the Black Marshal mainly came from the Fate/Zero anime, where the Black Marshal used the Noble Phantasm 'Scream of the Annihilation Castle' to summon that giant Cthulhu-like sea monster.
Therefore, he felt that if the Black Marshal wanted to cause trouble, he would definitely do the same.
In Fate/Zero, however, the Dark Marshal's actions involve sacrificing living people.
Logically speaking, Black Marshal should have left traces of his activities in human settlements.
But now there is none at all, not even the missing persons reported in the last two days, which is beyond Marx and Engels' expectations.
"Perhaps he knew the danger, which is why he didn't target humans. Maybe the sacrifice doesn't necessarily have to be a human; any living creature would suffice. There are other animals in the wild."
Marshal White recalled the intelligence provided by Chaldea and offered this conjecture.
Ma En nodded: "Possibly, but he must be near human settlements, especially cities. That monster needs to devour a large number of living beings to grow."
"Otherwise, with the strength it just possessed, it could..."
Before Marx and Engels could finish speaking, a soldier rushed in.
"Report! Communication has come from Encheng: a gigantic monster has suddenly appeared and is attacking the city! The situation is extremely critical!"
Well, Marx and Engels were right.
"Ryan!? That border city, right?"
Marshal Bai's expression changed, and he instantly understood what was going on.
"Damn it! He tricked me!"
He was also aware that monsters needed to devour large numbers of living beings.
Therefore, he focused on the more densely populated areas within the Flanders region.
But the monster appeared in the border city, which clearly meant that the other side had anticipated his prediction.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things. We need to eliminate that monster as soon as possible before it grows up!"
Marne stood up with a serious expression, as did everyone else, even the two King Arthurs grabbed some food and got up.
"Come closer, everyone, we'll teleport you there directly."
Knowing that Marshal Black might be planning something big, Maren took precautions and set up teleportation arrays in major cities over the past two days, in order to quickly respond to such situations.
Without further ado, everyone moved closer to Mar and Eng.
Then, Ma En led everyone in a teleportation, instantly arriving in Ryan City, a thousand miles away.
The first thing that caught my eye was a huge black shadow.
Its body is covered in mucus, like a mollusk, with strong limbs, wings on its back, a squid head, a mouth covered with tentacles, and tentacles all over its body.
A twisted, terrifying, gigantic creature, whose mere sight is enough to send one's sanity plummeting, is ravaging the city, ruthlessly reaping human lives and turning flesh and blood into nourishment for its own growth.
"Holy crap!? Cthulhu?"
Maren was also startled by the figure. If it weren't for the differences, he would have thought that Cthulhu had really descended upon the land.
However, this is clearly different from the sea monster that the Black Marshal summoned in his memory. Why does it look like this?
And damn, this cosplay looks way too much like Cthulhu!
Are you planning to scare him to death so you can win without a fight?
Well, Marne was indeed frightened.
After all, Cthulhu is just too popular 0.9, and even some Servants in FGO have Cthulhu elements (such as Hokusai), which makes Maren have to be wary.
At that moment, Jeanne Alter suddenly said, "Marne, I sensed Fafnir's presence on it."
Siegfried, standing nearby, nodded in agreement: "Yes, he must have either fused Fafnir with this monster or devoured Fafnir."
"In that case, it's understandable why it looks like this."
Marne examined the 'Cthulhu' and noticed its pair of wings on its back. He immediately understood why the monster looked like that.
So it was because it devoured Fafnir, the dragon.
No wonder we couldn't find Fafnir all day; it turns out he was inside this monster's belly!
