"Conqueror King... come on, let me see your true strength. Make sure not to hold back." Meruem stared at the Conqueror King, who was already wearing his bright red battle cloak, and said.
Facing Iskandar, the Conqueror King who once swept across the entire Eurasian continent and was hailed as one of the greatest kings in European history, Meruem rarely put away his cynical appearance.
Although that bit of land on the Eurasian continent was just a drop in the ocean for Meruem, who had once stirred up storms in the Milky Way galaxy.
But the Conqueror King was a strong man worthy of his serious attention.
"Rest assured, I won't show any mercy." The Conqueror King looked at Meruem with great heroism, slowly drawing his signature weapon, the Sword of the Cypriot, from his waist.
"Then I'm relieved, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have a chance later."
"You..." Hearing Meruem's words, the Conqueror King's imposing aura stagnated, and he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile and shake his head.
"Sometimes your temper really resembles this Golden Pika."
"Hmph... you two mongrels, don't dawdle here. Otherwise, this King doesn't mind killing you two mongrels first."
Although full of displeasure in his heart, feeling that his limelight had been stolen by Meruem, Goldie still retreated tens of meters to the side at this time.
However, seeing the two not start fighting immediately as expected, but instead chatting like family, Goldie's heart became increasingly unhappy.
"See..." The Conqueror King, on the contrary, looked good-tempered, spreading his hands at this moment to show that what he said just now wasn't wrong.
"Ignore him; that guy can't even do what he says." Meruem also ignored Goldie, because he knew that Goldie, whose chuunibyou level was off the charts, had always been like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rejected the goddess's proposal back then.
Speaking of which, the demigod who could reject a goddess's proposal seemed to be only Goldie.
Blame the goddess for not investigating clearly from the start; the person Goldie liked was the type like Enkidu.
"Enough nonsense, Conqueror King... use that." Meruem stood with his hands behind his back, looking quietly at the Conqueror King and said, showing no intention of taking out a weapon to fight. "Unleash your full power."
Although you may have hidden a lot of strength, and I am also quite wary of you.
But...
Aren't you looking down on people a bit too much?
Seeing Meruem's actions, even the heroic Conqueror King couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
It seemed that after Goldie came out, he infected Meruem with severe chuunibyou as well.
"Then witness it once more, my peerless army!" With the Conqueror King's order, the endless world of yellow sand once again enveloped everyone.
Still the desert with the scorching sun overhead, still the army stretching as far as the eye could see.
All appeared again with the Conqueror King's command.
The peerless army gathered under the command of Conqueror King Iskandar.
That was an army of tens of thousands of Heroic Spirits, among whom were Heroic Spirits stronger than the Conqueror King.
For example, the seven extraordinary leaders closely following the Conqueror King.
They were Aristnous, Lysimachus the Governor of Thrace, Peithon the Governor of Media, Leonnatus the Governor of Hellespontine Phrygia, Perdiccas the Commander of the Companion Cavalry and Regent, Ptolemy the Governor of Egypt, Libya, and Arabia, and Hephaestion.
Those were the Conqueror King's Seven Close Guards, Heroic Spirits equivalent to the Twelve Knights of the Round Table under Artoria.
One must know that the Berserker appearing in the original FZ plot was Lancelot, and just Lancelot as a Berserker shone brilliantly in FZ.
Relying on the skill Knight of Owner, he pitted Goldie out of quite a few Noble Phantasms. Although Goldie could definitely kill him if he really wanted to force it, logically speaking, one had to acknowledge his ability.
There were also seven such figures in the army of the Conqueror King's Ionian Hetairoi.
Just thinking about seven enemies of Lancelot's level made one's scalp tingle.
By the way, Ptolemy, the Governor of Egypt, Libya, and Arabia, was the legendary ruler of Egypt and the first Pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty.
Putting it this way, one can probably understand how awesome these Seven Close Guards under the Conqueror King are.
"No matter how many times I see it, it's so shocking." Artoria exclaimed looking at the peerless army, feeling a trace of envy rising in her heart.
Such an army, such loyal subordinates.
I once had them too.
No! Actually, they have always been by my side. It was just me acting willfully and ignoring them.
Strangely, that trace of envy in Artoria's heart quickly disappeared.
Replaced by full confidence.
Don't forget, in the original FZ, Artoria as King Arthur not only had her beliefs shattered but also almost suffered a mental breakdown due to Lancelot's desperate fight.
But now, seeing the Conqueror King's peerless army again, only a trace of envy flashed through her heart.
Getting this reaction was inseparable from Meruem's appearance.
That was because of a conversation between Meruem and Artoria.
Meruem told the Ahoge King that she just needed to change her way of thinking. Passing down Artoria's spirit, it could be to her own descendants. Human strength is limited, but things you can't do yourself can be done by your descendants and future generations for you. Even letting everyone believe in this spirit, not just practicing it yourself but promoting it infinitely. When even commoners can implement that faith and belief, that will be the day of your sublimation.
At that time, Artoria nodded half-understanding, probably with the feeling of "I don't quite understand what you're saying, but it sounds amazing."
Subsequently, another event occurred that led the Ahoge King to truly understand, and at the same time, the Ahoge King gained another powerful trump card in her hand.
A trump card powerful enough not to lose to the Conqueror King's Ionian Hetairoi.
"Boring tricks. If I wish, I can make them disappear in an instant." Hearing Artoria's praise, Goldie even showed a mocking expression at the corner of his mouth.
Goldie's words immediately drew angry glares from the Ahoge King.
Only Meruem knew that this guy Goldie was telling the truth.
The Conqueror King's Ionian Hetairoi was powerful, and the Conqueror King himself was also very powerful.
However, from beginning to end, whether it was moves or other things, the Conqueror King was countered to death by Goldie, even his very person.
Therefore, Conqueror King VS Goldie would undoubtedly end in defeat.
