Chapter 101, Act 1
Early in the morning, Shirou hadn't slept the whole night. He kept looking at the sphere of influence belonging to the enemy Holy Roman Empire in the distance. Seeing that the sky was full of smoke and dust in the distance early in the morning, Shirou had already been prepared.
The Roman army also started preparing very early. Although this battle was fought on the entire front, the most important thing was still here in Rome. After all, Nero was here, and the enemy would also come here.
"As long as we defeat the opponent's servants, no matter how many enemies we have, it will be useless."
Shirou knew this truth well, so he did not rush forward to look for the enemy. After all, the enemy only had one target.
"Shirou, are you scared?"
Nero came to Shirou and looked at Shirou whose hands were trembling. Nero asked casually.
"No, it's just that I haven't tried this for a long time, so I'm a little excited."
"Yeah?"
Nero had no choice but to hold Shirou's hand and tell Shirou.
"I'm here, don't worry."
"Well, we'll start later, protect yourself."
Generally speaking, Shirou and the others should go out and fight the enemy, but now it's a war. We don't know what method the enemy will use, so we should guard the city and wait for the enemy to attack.
"Here we come, Nero."
The enemy's army has arrived at the city, but strangely, the enemy did not attack immediately, but the enemy's leader came out.
"I am Rome. As Rome, I don't need to fight with myself. Everyone, please submit to me."
The man who came out was holding a spear, wearing red armor, and his face was calm and intimidating.
"You are the original existence of the legendary emperor."
"Why is it like this? How can we defeat the original king like this?"
"Let us surrender, he is the founder of Rome."
The soldiers in the city were talking a lot. Seeing Romulus himself appearing, everyone had no idea about this war.
"Nero, cheer up, he is a servant."
Shirou shook Nero's shoulders, hoping that Nero would wake up.
"Shirou, I can't help it. He is the founder of Rome. We can't win and we shouldn't fight him. It's disrespectful."
Nero's eyes were full of despair, hoping that Shirou would surrender with her.
"No, he is the original sinner who destroyed the world. Nero, you are the one who wants to become the master of Rome. You are the fifth emperor of Rome."
Shirou still wanted to persuade Nero, but the city gate had been opened and all the soldiers walked out of the city to accept Romulus's surrender.
"No, everyone, wake up, he is an enemy."
Shirou pulled Nero and rushed to the door, intending to stop the soldiers in the city from leaving.
"It's useless, you can't convince them, because I am Rome, and the people of Rome will not resist me as Rome."
Romulus looked at Shirou and still wanted to stop him, but made no move and just stated a fact.
"hateful."
Shirou knew that he could not change the minds of the soldiers and the people, but at least he had to protect Nero. Shirou turned around and wanted to take Nero away, but unexpectedly, Nero actually let go of the hand he was holding.
"Nero?"
Shirou looked at Nero in disbelief and saw that Nero took out the Primordial Fire and pointed it at Shirou.
"Shiro, don't resist, just accept Rome's surrender, so that we can be together."
"No, my mission is to restore human nature."
"Yeah?"
Shirou narrowly avoided Nero's attack and looked at Nero in disbelief.
"Nero, do you also want to submit to him?"
"Anyone who does not submit to Rome is an enemy."
Nero slashed at him with the Primordial Fire. Shirou had no way to attack Nero and could only avoid Nero's attacks.
"Nero, wake up, you are controlled by him."
"Shut up, enemies of Rome."
Flames surrounded the sword body and slashed at extremely fast speed. Shirou took out his general Moye and deflected Nero's attack.
"Shirou, you actually attacked me."
"No, that's not the case."
"Shut up."
The sword struck again, and Shirou could only resist stubbornly, but Nero didn't have so many worries, and the speed of the sword became faster and faster.
"Nero!"
A spear passed through and scratched a bloody mark on Shirou's face. Only now did Shirou realize that he was surrounded by his former comrades.
"Everyone, wake up quickly, you are being controlled."
"Shut up, enemies of Rome."
The crowd of onlookers waved their fists and rushed over. Shirou did not dare to fight back, so he had to rush out of the crowd.
"Romulus!"
After the white dragon's wings transformed, Shirou rushed towards Romulus with his sword. As long as he defeated him, everyone would return to their original state.
"Huh, that's indeed a good idea."
The spear in Romulus's hand was like a big wooden club, and he shot Shirou in the waist, interrupting Shirou's flight.
"But, you have to consider your abilities."
"hateful."
Shirou covered his wound and looked at Romulus with anger in his eyes.
"Sharp blade."
Shirou used the power of nothing to create a sharp blade in his right hand and slashed at Romulus, but was caught by the enemy with one hand.
"Weak, is this the power of the savior who saves humanity?"
Romulus kicked Shirou away and broke the sharp blade in Shirou's right hand. Shirou was temporarily unable to use the blade's ability.
"Swallow everything."
Shirou gathered all the power in his hands, and countless tentacles rolled together to form a column and flew towards Romulus.
"I am Rome, and everything in Rome gives me strength."
"My spear can reach all things."
Romulus's spear turned into everything in Rome, trees, stones, weapons, everything, and rushed towards Shirou.
"Ahhh!"
Shirou's ability was interrupted by Romulus's Noble Phantasm. If it weren't for his strong self-recovery ability, Shirou would have collapsed by now.
"you lose."
Seeing Romulus getting closer and closer, Shirou forced himself to stand up, still holding his own weapon in his hand.
"Shirou, hurry up!"
A familiar voice sounded behind Shirou, and a buckler flew over Shirou's head and hit Romulus, but Romulus caught the buckler with one hand.
Shirou was still thinking about what happened, but someone grabbed him by the back collar, put him on the horse, and quickly distanced himself.
When the Romans saw Shirou being rescued, they wanted to pursue him, but were stopped by Romulus.
"It doesn't matter, he will definitely come back. After all, he can only come back."
Romulus took everyone back to the city of Rome. Within an hour, Rome changed hands.
"Boudica, is that you?"
Shirou looked at the cloaked person in front of him, saw the familiar red hair, and guessed her identity.
"Really, I just wanted to sneak over here early. I didn't expect this to happen. Shirou, what happened?"
Boudica did not hide anything, threw away her cloak, and revealed herself as she was.
"To make a long story short, find a safe place now. I'm very tired."
