"Mujik! This is an outrage! I expect you to hand over that Romani fellow to me for disposal later!"
Flender was putting on quite the show, giving Mujik face at this moment. After all, Mujik was Chaldea's buyer.
"Alright!"
Mujik agreed readily. Flender smiled, thinking he's certainly an obedient one, but then—
Mujik still had something to say!
"However, a person who can destroy dozens of my fighters without lifting a finger, I think he still has value. Mr. Flender wouldn't be so stingy as to take him away without offering anything, would he?"
"..."
Mujik was a businessman! There was nothing wrong with a businessman talking money, right?
"Very well! I can pay that amount, but you'll have to be capable enough to come and get it when the time comes."
Flender said with a chilling gaze, then turned and waved his hand at his subordinates!
"Go! It's time to avenge our comrades!"
"Move out!!"
Flender led his team up the mountain. To conserve Mana, they had prepared climbing gear long ago, ready to conquer this peak burdened with Chaldea.
Mujik stroked his beard, then also waved his hand, and his Homunculus guards began to ascend.
In an instant, seven or eight hundred people started climbing. It was quite a spectacular sight.
This scene was also captured by Chaldea's reconnaissance drones and displayed on the large screen in the monitoring room, watched by a group of people.
"So slow..."
After watching for an unknown amount of time, Mo Shuying suddenly spoke.
Romani beside him gave a wry smile. Oh, great leader! They're here to tear down our home! How can you still complain they're not coming fast enough?
"It's definitely too slow. Why don't we stop waiting? Strike first?"
Shuten Doji offered a very objective suggestion, which made many people nod.
"Big sister Shuten speaks so well! When do we depart?"
Ibaraki Doji was already itching for action, practically ready to sacrifice Gilbert beside her.
"Um, I have something to say, I'm not sure if I should."
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised a hand, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Hm? Is there anything you shouldn't say now? Just speak your mind, don't hold back!"
Mo Shuying waved his hand grandly. Fujimaru Ritsuka rolled their eyes at him, then said,
"I think, since they dared to come, we can't go easy on them. We must crush them with lightning speed and let them know that Chaldea is not to be trifled with!"
"Well said! Senior, well said!"
Mash beside them puffed up with praise, a truly dutiful hype man.
"Hehe~ So I suggest we send out all our Servants. We can't give them any chance. And we also need to maintain our mystery. The Magic Array that isolates information transfer should be activated first, so we don't have to worry about them sending out information!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka said this, and Mo Shuying felt a bit surprised.
Although Fujimaru Ritsuka had always been incredibly reliable in critical moments, known as the "Choice in Adversity," Mo Shuying hadn't expected them to have grown to this level after some time apart.
Mo Shuying was very pleased. The childish Fujimaru Ritsuka had also grown up. With a touched expression, Mo Shuying's face lit up with excitement, and he turned to shout at everyone!
"Excellent! Activate the Magic Array Boundary Field immediately! Notify all Heroic Spirits, the time for battle has come!!"
"Oh!!"
Night had fallen, and the Antarctic during polar night was at its coldest.
Fortunately, the climbing teams that remained were the elite of the elite, otherwise, a large portion would have been eliminated.
"Faster, faster, faster!! I can't wait to see Chaldea destroyed!!"
Flender could fly himself, so he flew all the way up with his arms crossed. He could move very quickly, but he couldn't leave the main force behind, which made him very anxious.
Being rushed by their boss made the subordinates feel quite miserable, as climbing a snowy mountain was no easy feat; it could easily lead to death.
And just as everyone was toiling upwards,
*Whoosh!*
An arrow cut through the sky, then precisely curved in mid-air, making an inexplicable U-turn, and re-embedded itself into the mountain wall.
Everyone looked at the arrow, half-stuck in the ice wall, the other half still gently trembling, with expressions that clearly said, Are you kidding me?
At that moment, a gentle voice spoke.
"Um, this arrow is just the final warning. We hope you'll know when to retreat. This is our last act of leniency towards you."
Chiron was truly not a ruthless person. He had made this move at Mo Shuying's signal.
However, this act of goodwill became the fuse that ignited Flender's anger.
"Damn it!! How dare you mock me!!"
Flender pointed his magic staff at the arrow, and a fireball the size of a basketball shot out!
"*Boom!*"
The flames exploded, blasting a large crater in the ice wall, and the arrow, naturally, was gone.
"Go!"
With that, Flender charged ahead, conjuring a whirlwind that carried him upwards!
Seeing their leader so eager, the remaining people stopped conserving Mana and activated their flight modes, following closely behind.
Only Mujik and its Homunculi remained, watching Flender and the others fly up.
"Heh, what a simple-minded, foolish fellow. Let him scout ahead. Today, I'll see who the true cannon fodder is!"
Mujik decided to slow its ascent. It wasn't in a hurry, so it would let Flender exhaust the enemy's strength first. Chaldea would still be its in the end.
With that thought, Mujik pulled out a golden pipe, preparing to take a few puffs. It rarely smoked, but given its current mood for watching a show, it made an exception.
But just as it put the pipe to its mouth!
"*BOOM!!*"
A massive demonic hand suddenly appeared, slamming into the group of people flying upwards!
"*Rashomon Great Grudge!!*"
With a single strike, the demonic hand sent dozens of mercenaries flying! Clean and decisive!
"This is! A Noble Phantasm! As expected! The rumors are true! Chaldea has Heroic Spirits!!"
Mujik was excited. Heroic Spirits! If it could subdue one or two Heroic Spirits, its status in the Mage's Association would skyrocket!
But this thought lasted only two seconds in Mujik's mind, because—
"*Earth Creator!!*"
"*Lily Bloom Magnificent!!*"
"*Sword of Blessed Slaughter!*"
"*Boom boom boom boom!*"
For a moment, the sky above was dazzling with color.
Mujik's mouth hung open, its golden pipe falling from its lips unnoticed.
Following a series of roars, the mercenaries who had flown up began to fall like dumplings, one after another. From such a height, their only fate was death.
Mujik swallowed, its eyes wide as it strained to find Flender. It knew Flender's strength; he could even fight a true Servant!
"*Whoosh!*"
Soon, an exploding fireball in the air caught Mujik's attention. It knew that was Flender's attack!
Looking up, it then saw this scene!
Flender, who had always been so arrogant, was now being held by the head by a man with two wings on his back. Compared to that man, the usually imposing Flender looked no different from a little chicken!
