Hearing Lin Ye's complaint, Roman in Chaldea couldn't help but say through the news agency, "Yes, this is the destruction brought by war."
"Alright, alright, I've already spotted some people nearby with my clairvoyance. Let's go there." Lin Ye interrupted Roman's reverie and then led Mashu in one direction.
West Village is one of the few remaining human settlements after the destruction of Jerusalem, and Bedivere is walking through it at this moment.
Around him, rows of tattered and emaciated people leaned against the roadside. Clearly, they had been ravaged by the war and were barely recognizable as human beings. Without food, they probably wouldn't survive more than three days.
Bedivere, on the other hand, was looking southeast of the village, where the new holy city of Camelot was located.
"My king, I will be there to see you soon..."
At that moment, a hunched woman, holding a child's hand, approached Bedivere and stretched out her dirty hand in a pleading manner.
"Sir, please have mercy and give me some food. This child hasn't eaten for five days."
The woman's hand was about to touch Bedivere's arm, but Bedivere took her hand first and placed a small bag in it.
Although he is not a Heroic Spirit, as an excellent knight, he naturally possesses such skills.
"This is all I have, I'm sorry."
Bedivere handed the remaining small bag of food to the woman, and no one understood why he was apologizing when he was clearly giving alms.
"You gave all the food to her, what are you going to do?" At that moment, a figure wearing a bone mask walked out from behind Bedivere.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Bedivere simply said, "It doesn't matter anymore. Whatever the outcome, I don't need it."
He gazed in the direction of the holy city of Camelot, his eyes filled with resolute determination. Seeing Bedivere's expression, the man seemed to sense something and then spoke.
“My name is Yanzui. I advise you not to go any further. This place will be subject to the Holy Judgment tonight, and then only ruins will remain.” Yanzui Hassan sighed helplessly, and then said to Bedivere, “We are already organizing the evacuation of our personnel. You should leave with us. If we reach the Eastern Village successfully, we will be able to get help from our companions.”
Yan Zui still had some goodwill towards Bedivere in front of him. After all, someone who could give food to others during a time of war couldn't be a bad person.
However, Bedivere firmly shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, but I have my own things to do."
After saying that, Bedivere resolutely left. Watching Bedivere's retreating figure, Yan Zui shook his head helplessly and then said...
"Everyone, pack your things quickly, we're leaving now! As soon as we reach East Village, we'll have food to eat!"
Yan Zui knew perfectly well that Dongzhicun was also on the verge of starvation, but the idea of quenching thirst by looking at plums was indeed the most effective way to boost morale.
Sure enough, the refugees mustered their last bit of strength and headed east.
Meanwhile, in the desert
"Senior, so where are we going now?" Mashu couldn't help but ask Lin Ye along the way.
Lin Ye smiled and said, "I just used my clairvoyance to check the situation of this singularity. Currently, there are three main forces in this singularity: the most powerful Camelot, the poorest Hassan Order, and the most peaceful Egypt."
"Camelot? Is that Artoria's holy city?! Does Artoria exist here too? That's great! Should we go and seek help?"
"There is indeed an Artoria here, but I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. This Artoria is not our friend, but... our enemy."
"What!" Mashu was stunned. She immediately thought of the several Kings she knew. They were all so kind, even the corrupted Artoria. How could they become enemies?
Seeing Mashu's state, Lin Ye sighed, "Mash, there are differences between kindness. The White Lancer Artoria here... no, it's more appropriate to describe her as the Lion King now. She wanted to save the world, but unfortunately, her methods are different from Chaldea's."
Lin Ye began to explain to Mash: "What she wants to do is gather the best individuals in this world and then seal them inside the Holy Lance. That way, even if the Great Light Wheel falls, the people inside the lance will be safe and sound."
"Like Noah's Ark? 187"
"almost."
"Then, what about the others!" Mashu's expression changed; she had already understood Lin Ye's meaning.
Lin Ye fell silent. Clearly, those people faced only one fate: death.
Lin Ye couldn't agree with the Lion King's choice. It was like someone telling you one day that the sun was about to explode and Earth was in imminent danger. At this time, two forces emerged on Earth. One force chose to build some spaceships, gather all the resources inside, select high-quality personnel to enter, and then embark on a space voyage to find a new home. Once a new home was found, these people could use the resources to continuously reproduce and rebuild their home. From a rational point of view, this might be the best method.
Another group decided to spend a lot of resources to build tens of thousands of engines on the surface of Earth, so as to propel Earth out of the solar system and embark on a wandering Earth project. Perhaps by the time Earth reaches a suitable location, it will be riddled with holes and depleted of resources, but people will survive. This is an emotional choice.
"I'm more inclined to be emotional than rational. Not because I'm so noble, but because I'm afraid of being the one abandoned and left to die. So, Lion King, this time, I'm sorry."
Chapter 609 Infiltrating the Great Temple! Hundred-Faced Hassan!
Whoohoo!
In the desert, the wind whips up sand and dust, and amidst this fierce sandstorm, a group of figures still move swiftly.
The eighty-eight figures obeyed orders as if they were one, and they had only one goal: the Radiant Great Composite Temple before them!
"This is it." The leader of the Hundred-Faced Women looked at the pyramid in front of her with a determined expression.
She has been here for some time now, and naturally, she has taken on the task of saving the villagers while following Cursed Wrist.
However, most of the resources here have already been concentrated in the holy city of Camelot. Their village is running out of food, and if this continues, everyone will probably starve to death!
"I can't get into King Arthur's holy city at all, so I can only try here."
As Hassan, to steal grain from someone else's house is a disgrace to his master.
But there was no other way; we couldn't just watch our own people starve to death.
With that thought in mind, Bai Mao rushed in with his eighty-eight clones.
However, this magnificent complex temple was far too complicated, and it was guarded by many Sphinxes, making it difficult even for a hundred-faced being to accurately locate the food.
However... it can't be said that there were no gains at all.
In a room, a petite and lovely young woman had just finished enjoying her lunch and was about to lie down for a beauty nap.
"It's so good to have the Pharaoh around; no enemy can threaten us."
The girl's name was Nitocris, the Magic Queen of the Sixth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, and also a powerful top-tier Servant. However, before that king, she could only obediently submit, unable to muster even the slightest arrogance.
All she wanted to do right now was live a life of leisure and wait for death, and with that mindset, she quickly drifted off to sleep...
"This room hasn't been searched yet!"
The leader of the Hundred-Faced Women gang tiptoed into the room. Looking at the empty plates, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
"It's getting late!"
Bai Mao instinctively wanted to leave, but the moment she turned around, she clearly saw Nitocris sleeping soundly on the bed!
"Heroic Spirit!" Bai Mao instinctively assumed a fighting stance, but she quickly realized that the girl didn't react at all!
"A Heroic Spirit sleeping so soundly? Has the good life worn down his will? Pah! I'd love to live like that too!"
Bai Mao subconsciously thought of the wonderful days she spent eating and drinking well by Lin Ye's side every day; those were truly the happiest days of her life.
However, she quickly recovered from that memory, and then gently came to Nitocris's side, taking out another tranquilizer from her bosom and lighting it.
This incense isn't deadly, but it can make people sleep even more soundly.
"It's done."
Bai Mao smiled, then took out a sack and threw the drowsy Nitocris into it!
“This woman looks quite valuable. Tie her up and take her back, then have the owner of this place bring food to ransom her.”
As Hassan, she certainly didn't feel any guilt.
In an instant, having secured her target, she shouldered the sack and ran towards the outside of the pyramid.
With her exceptionally high intelligence, she naturally wouldn't forget the way she came. Soon, she arrived at the exit, and looking at the door that was just a stone's throw away, a victorious smile appeared on Bai Mao's face.
But the next second, the smile froze on his face.
"Do you think you can just come and go as you please here?"
boom!
In an instant, the exit door slammed shut! Inside the pyramid, furious roars of wild beasts echoed!
Rumble!
The space around Bai Mao immediately changed. In just a few breaths, the originally narrow passage turned into an incredibly spacious training ground. Around her, giant beasts, each over ten meters tall, roared and surrounded her!
But none of them moved. Instead, they all looked at the figure sitting on the throne on the high platform, as if they would swarm up and tear Bai Mao to pieces at his command!
"You dare to kidnap my people on my turf? You really have a death wish."
Ra-II looked down at Bai-mao from his high vantage point. He was a king who had received the EX reward; his divinity had greatly increased, and the Radiant Grand Composite Temple had merged with the Hanging Gardens. His control over the Radiant Grand Composite Temple was now practically perfect!
Apart from that unreasonable old man who "sneaked in" and slashed him a few days ago, no one has been able to gain the upper hand against him!
Therefore, the kidnapping attempt that was originally planned to succeed in the timeline failed.
“Here, she will serve as your dinner.”
As soon as Rama II waved his hand, the seven or eight Sphinxes in front of him could no longer contain themselves and rushed forward!
Roar!
In an instant, these sphinxes pounced on Bai Mao, and then a series of roars and Bai Mao's wails rang out!
Ramses II watched this tragedy silently, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy.
The next second, the Hundred-Faced Hassan, who was still being torn apart, suddenly transformed into a shower of flowers. At the same time, Raven felt a chill on his neck as a gleaming dagger was pressed against his throat.
"Don't move! Open the door! Prepare enough food for 500 more people! Or I'll kill you!"
Despite being threatened by the Hundred Faces, Ramses II remained completely calm.
"Illusion magic? And at a pretty high level? That's quite an impressive ability."
