"Charge! For France!"
"For France!"
The cavalry, maneuvering with difficulty on the mountain, finally maneuvered to the side and above the enemy position under Marshal Gil's leadership.
This group of cavalry quickly launched a charge towards the enemy formation under Marshal Gil's leadership. The knights hung their several-meter-long lances on the hooks under their armpits, and then the cavalry lined up and crushed towards the formation like a wall.
With the acceleration of the hillside, the cavalry quickly traveled a curved path, crushing everything with the greatest kinetic energy of the classical era. If there were a high-speed camera at this time, one could clearly see the terrifying power of an ancient cavalry charge.
The metal tip of a cavalryman's lance first made contact with the breastplate of a zombie's chest, then the breastplate and the front of the lance began to deform. Then, with the arrival of the subsequent force, the lance pierced the breastplate and entered the zombie's body. Until the entire tip was completely submerged, the huge force pierced the zombie on the lance and lifted it up. As the weight of the front increased, the notch deliberately made on the lance began to play a role, and the lance shattered before the force was fed back to the rider. The fallen zombie was soon trampled into meat paste by the following hooves.
The knights pierced by the lances were already lucky. A warhorse weighing over 400 kg plus the rider and armor, usually weighing 600-700 kg, what does it feel like to be hit at a speed of 30 km/h? The zombie soldiers who were hit perfectly illustrated this scene. They first experienced a feeling of primitive flight, then fell to the ground a few meters away with most of their bones shattered, like a pool of rotten meat waiting for the trampling of iron hooves.
And those unlucky ones hit by the heavy warhorses covered in armor ridden by noble knights were even more miserable. You know, the weight of these knights, horses, and armor combined had already exceeded a ton.
Soon, the knights lined up in a wall, like a knife cutting through butter, effortlessly swept through one-third of the zombie army's formation, leaving only a mess.
Seeing that the situation was bad, the Wyvern knights tightened the reins and pulled up the Wyverns, while blowing a special copper whistle. Accompanied by the sharp whistle, the zombie soldiers didn't look back, abandoned their opponents, and began to flee down the mountain.
"Victory! Victory!"
The soldiers who survived the disaster scrambled to raise their weapons and cheered.
Rin and the others, who had finished watching the second half of the battle on the mountain peak, also looked at the cheering crowd below with emotion. After all, for these modern visitors, ancient warfare always makes people feel inexplicably hot-blooded.
However, Jeanne beside them didn't have the same thoughts as Rin and the others. Jeanne had fought countless battles, big and small, and understood the cruelty of the battlefield. She just knelt silently at the edge of the boulder and prayed sincerely to God.
Just as the people below began to clean up the battlefield, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Rin.
"Director, what should we do?"
Rin touched her chin, looked at the fortress below and the small villages hidden in the bushes nearby, thought for a while, and said.
"We lack information about this Singularity, and this damn Singularity is too big. This isn't something where you can just pick up a newspaper or browse a computer in modern times to get information. So, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, you set off from here to France to collect information. Once you encounter danger, remember to return here immediately."
Then Rin pointed to Jeanne and Reines and said.
"Jeanne, please take Reines to infiltrate a nearby village to collect information. Judging from the flags, the army below should be the French Army, so Jeanne, I'll leave this to you!"
"Gudako, you and I will go to the Iberian Peninsula. We will cross Gibraltar to Africa to take a look!"
As she spoke, Rin quickly assigned tasks to everyone. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, who had received professional training, would form a group to investigate France, where the situation was unknown. Jeanne, who was French herself, would lead the investigation of the French Army and nearby villages from the mountain. As for Africa, which was far away, she would take Gudako herself to collect information. After all, once an accident occurred, only Rin, who could transform into Ishtar, could use the divine ship, maanna to rush back from Africa quickly.
After adjusting the communicator frequency, everyone who received Rin's order soon embarked on their respective journeys.
Rin watched Jeanne and her party, who had already descended from the mountain peak to the hillside, her body flashed with light, she entered the Servant form, and patted the maanna floating beside her.
"Gudako, sit up, we are ready to set off!"
"Oh! Okay, Master."
Then Rin took Gudako and turned into a ray of light, rushing into the sky.

Outside the cordon of the village in the forest, Reines, who was sitting in the canopy of a large tree with Jeanne, looked at the soldiers patrolling back and forth near the village, and asked Jeanne, who was doing production activities in the village in tattered clothes.
"Jeanne, how do we get in? If we dress like this, I'm afraid..."
Jeanne looked at Reines beside her, then activated her Revelation, and prayed sincerely on the spot.
Reines was not idle either. Although she couldn't get in, Reines still used mercury to create a few little mice and let them enter the village to see the situation.
"Master, I have a way!"
"What way?"
"The Lord tells me that you are a noble!"
"Jeanne, you mean, let me contact the French Army as a British noble?"
"Yes, Master."
Reines looked at Jeanne suspiciously, but after seeing the serious expression on Jeanne's face, she asked what was on her mind.
"Jeanne, you aren't taking revenge on me, are you? Although we didn't have a pleasant time on the first day, that was all because of Rin!"
Although the situation of the Singularity was still unclear, the time could be confirmed as the Hundred Years' War between England and France. At this time, Jeanne asked Reines to contact the French Army with a noble identity, so how could Reines not be suspicious?
However, after hearing Reines oppose her plan, Jeanne did not insist on this idea that came from her Revelation. Jeanne was actually strange about the prompt she obtained through Revelation. After all, the military discipline in this era was terrible. Jeanne certainly knew the military discipline of her subordinates when she led the French Army. Although nobles would not be harmed according to the rules of this era, Jeanne could not guarantee whether a Reines tragedy would happen.
And what made Jeanne even more strange was why the French Army, whether it was the fortress or the defense, was guarding against the north, the direction of mainland France. Normally, shouldn't the army stationed in the Pyrenees Mountains be defending against Aragon and Castile in the south?
It was precisely because everything was strange that Jeanne could not be at ease with her Revelation ability. After all, Revelation is different from inspiration. Although this ability is called Revelation, its essence is actually actively praying for the Lord to grant inspiration, rather than the kind of inspiration given by God.
Jeanne was able to obtain this ability thanks to the fact that what Rin summoned was not the Servant Jeanne but the Heroic Spirit Jeanne. Otherwise, not only would there be no Revelation, but the inspiration would just be an ability to see through the true name of a Servant.
"Jeanne, why don't I try to let my familiar steal two sets of clothes, and we try to change to another village and mix in directly?"
