Bab 830: -819- The approaching evil
Yes.
The hidden hand behind the incineration of human order intervened. The nation formed by the figures from Celtic mythology swiftly conquered the indigenous nations due to the intervention of the forces behind the burning of human order.
Of course, their intervention was a one-time occurrence, and they hadn't personally appeared. However, the day when the "power" they wielded descended, the queen witnessed a terrifying scene.
"It was just an instant, and the entire country was annihilated. All the neutral Servants also perished on the spot. Only one was heavily injured and managed to escape..."
At this point, even the queen's tone carried a hint of awe and fear.
Naturally, Cú Chulainn also witnessed that day.
"...That's not an area we can touch." Cú Chulainn fell silent for a moment, then spoke ruthlessly. "But since we can easily reap the rewards of victory, killing all enemies, there's no reason not to seize it."
Thanks to this, the Celtic Nation wiped out all the indigenous people and almost resolved the neutral Servants who remained in the area.
Currently, only a few neutral Servants are estimated to remain on this continent. One of them escaped from the country that was previously annihilated, and another, deeply connected to the opponent during their lifetime, had been attempting to defeat them. After joining the Celtic Nation, this Servant left resolutely as soon as the opponent began fleeing, starting to pursue them.
The remaining neutral Servants include two more, both deeply connected to the other in a positive way. When one of them was found and captured by the Celtic Nation, the other neutral, who wanted to save his companion, took advantage of the situation when the Celtic nation was dispatching troops to suppress the indigenous nations, directly attacked the enemy base, defeated one of the Celtic servent despite sustaining severe injuries, and then had no strength left to continue the fight, escaping with regret before the queen and others returned.
If it were just this, it would be fine. Even if there are still a few neutral Servants left, the Celtic Nation has completely dominated North America, and eliminating them is only a matter of time.
However, possibly due to the unilateral intervention of the hidden hand behind the burning of human order, after this, several Servants from the Greek pantheon were unexpectedly summoned to this continent.
They independently formed a Greek Nation, swiftly occupied the south while the Celtic Nation was overconfident in its victory, suppressed the Celtic Nation's influence in the north, and ultimately established a situation where the two mythological nations confronted each other.
Seeing the obtained hegemony slipping away, how could the queen not harbor resentment?
"Although we managed to take out two of their Servants, we also lost quite a few on our side."
When the queen descended into this singularity, she used the power of the Holy Grail to first summon Cú Chulainn and undergo a transformation, creating the current existence of this evil berserker.
Following that, the queen summoned five more Servants, adding herself to form a standard group of seven. However, among these seven Servants, one was killed by a neutral Servant, and two were ambushed and killed by suddenly appearing Greek mythological Servants. This left the Celtic Nation with only four combatants.
Afterwards, Cú Chulainn personally intervened. While the Greek Nation was celebrating its victory, he mercilessly unleashed his Noble Phantasm, killing one of their Servants on the spot, then turned around to kill another. He withdrew decisively only when facing the raging mad hero, choosing not to engage further. Even in retreat, Cú Chulainn coldly killed a third Servant before returning to the northern land.
As a result, the people dominating the southern nation of the Greek Nation seem to be furious. Despite countless declarations of wanting to annihilate the Celtic Nation, their actions were completely contrary. They retreated into their castle and didn't engage in battle. Instead, they dispatched the reckless mad hero to harass the Celtic forces. They seemed utterly useless and incompetent.
However, it cannot be denied that the opposing side still possesses considerable strength.
"When they descended, they also had seven Servants. After Cú Chulainn killed three of them, they have four left. Although the ruler of the nation is a tiny piece of trash who can hardly be called a Servant, likely to be killed by any random foot soldier, if that great hero is present, it's troublesome to deal with his Noble Phantasm, even with Cú on our side."
In summary, both sides are currently engaged in a fierce battle, with neither able to overcome the other.
In this situation, Scathach suddenly appears, even mobilizing Chaldea, and the changes she brings are definitely not positive.
"If... if that old woman teams up with Chaldea's Master and joins the Greek side, then we can only rely on the Holy Grail to summon new Servants to counter them."
The queen can only make this decision.
With the power of the Holy Grail, miracles like "Heroic Spirit Summoning" can be realized countless times. Summoning large numbers of Servants is not a problem. However, since Servants are not obedient familiars, casual summoning may lead to betrayal.
Moreover, summoning more Servants might trigger the Holy Grail in the queen's hands to autonomously summon more neutral Servants for the purpose of balance, making the situation even more precarious.
Therefore, if possible, the queen doesn't want to casually summon new Servants, but when push comes to shove, she has no choice.
Naturally, Cú Chulainn understands this reasoning.
"So, we should take down one side before those guys join forces."
Cú Chulainn said this to the queen without any hesitation.
"You keep an eye on the front lines, especially on the guys from the Greek side."
After saying this, Cú Chulainn lifted his magical spear and headed toward the battlefield.
Seeing this, the queen smiled.
A strangely happy smile.
"Indeed, this evil, rude, and powerful Cú is my favorite person!"
This charm is absolutely irresistible to the queen.
After all...
"I am Medb, Queen Medb, the lover and dominator of all men—Medb."
In Celtic mythology, particularly in the Ulster Cycle, there exists such a queen.
She is the queen of Connacht, a flirtatious woman engaged, married, or involved in some physical relationship with many kings and warriors, perpetually a noblewoman.
She loves handsome men, especially powerful ones. For her desires, she would do whatever it takes to claim them and doesn't tolerate any defiance, possessing countless men.
It was she who triggered the largest war in the Ulster Cycle and set her sights on the Child of Light.
However, being rejected by that brave hero, she bore resentment, ultimately personally ending Cú Chulainn's life, leaving his body to rot in the wilderness.
Undeniably, due to Cú Chulainn's rejection, this queen became deeply fascinated by him, experiencing a love-hate relationship.
Therefore, she made a wish to the Holy Grail, turning Cú Chulainn into an evil king who could stand beside her, becoming the figure he is now.
This is the queen of the Celtic Nation—Medb.
"Fight for me."
"Be conquered by me."
"This is a true hero, a true man."
Medb's joyful laughter continued endlessly.
