In the current situation, there's no time to worry about the Holy Grail War; eliminating the immediate threat is the top priority.
"This one……"
Just as Marx was about to say something, another noisy sound came from the mountaintop ahead.
Everyone quickly looked over and saw the black mud churning, and one figure after another crawling out of it.
“Players, why do I feel like they look familiar?”

Chapter 86 The Corrupted Army of Heroic Spirits! En's Magic at Full Power
"Hey, those guys look so familiar!"
Nero looked at the figures emerging from the black mud and felt as if he had seen them somewhere before, so he asked Marne.
Ma En rolled his eyes: "Of course you'd recognize him. Didn't we just see each other a few days ago?"
"This is...Iskandar's army?"
Upon closer inspection, Nero suddenly realized that this was the same army of Iskandar that he had seen before!
His appearance had darkened considerably, and his weaponry had also changed, making Nero almost unrecognizable at first glance.
Tokiomi Tohsaka was startled upon hearing this: "You mean the Conqueror King's army of over 30,000 men?!"
Damn it? !
How is this going? !
How did this army end up here?!
Seeing the soldiers constantly emerging one after another, not only Tokiomi Tohsaka, but everyone else was also taken aback.
"Is this what you mean by being enslaved by the black mud after being polluted by it?"
Aozaki Touko turned to look at Marne, hoping he could offer an explanation.
"Yes, but it's not quite what I know."
Ma En nodded, paused, and sorted out his thoughts before saying, "Normally, Ser21vant can indeed be corrupted and transformed, but they were temporarily summoned in Iskandar, that is, Rider's Reality Marble. In theory, they should exist with the Reality Marble and should not be able to appear separately in the outside world like they are now."
"No matter what, they're the enemy, right? Just take them down!"
As Mordred spoke, the corrupted warriors opposite him emerged from the black mud and attacked the group.
"For the King! Destroy this world!"
"Charge! Hahaha!"
"Kill!"
The corrupted warriors shouted wildly, their expressions mostly ferocious, even with maniacal smiles, exuding murderous intent, looking like demons unleashed from their cages.
Tens of thousands of soldiers formed an iron-blooded torrent, charging towards Mar and his men.
Without further ado, the seven men sprang into action, preparing to meet the enemy.
Gilgamesh unleashed a massive golden vortex, and the Gate of Babylon was at full power, unleashing a barrage of Noble Phantasms upon the corrupted army.
Nero was not to be outdone, deploying all his floating cannons and unleashing a barrage of bullets from his magic cannons.
Aozaki Touko also unfurled her Imprint Tree, golden maple leaves spreading out like wings behind her.
Without any preparation, the Imprint Tree used magic to continuously fire incredibly powerful magic cannons, each shot comparable to a missile, not much weaker than Nero's magic cannons, and even faster.
The combined firepower of the three was like a barrage of artillery fire, killing many of the corrupted army before they could even get close.
The Lion King and Mordred, standing at the forefront, felt much less pressure and were able to easily clear out the approaching corrupted army while protecting their three ranged attackers.
Tokiomi Tohsaka occasionally unleashed magic, but in this situation, the output was nothing more than a tiny ripple.
Marx and Engels, on the other hand, are still making preparations.
He is not a traditional magician and rarely uses magic, so he doesn't store much magic power in his body. He usually takes out what he needs as he needs it and converts it back into magic power as needed.
This is also why Marne's magic reserves have never had the powerful output that should be expected from 10,000 magic circuits.
This isn't because Marx and Eng were deliberately being lazy; rather, everyone's life force is limited, and this small source has an upper limit. You can't convert as much as you want; too much will harm your body.
Just as leaving a magic circuit open will drain a person's lifespan, forcibly converting magic power is a similar situation.
Therefore, although Marne's magic power is much greater than that of an ordinary magician, his moves consume a lot of energy, and he also has to supply Nero with magic power, so he is the first one to run out of mana.
"Damaged circuit confirmed, damaged circuit closed, idle circuit activated, start major source connection, earth vein existence confirmed, connection level activated, magic extraction begins."
Marne murmured to himself, reinforcing the impression so that he could precisely control the absence of any magic circuits.
The circuits that were damaged by teleportation were shut down and separated. Then, the magic circuits that had been idle due to the magic conversion reaching their limit were reopened and connected to the nearest source.
Beneath Ma En's feet, a circuit board-like pattern of silk threads emerged, its surface glowing with a faint blue-green light, spreading outwards like a tide.
At the same time, the light patterns slowly crawled onto Ma En's body, covering his entire body like tattoos, densely packed, until it was difficult to see any trace of his original skin color, as if he had transformed into light.
This is a sign that he has drawn the magic power of the earth's veins into his body, and his magic circuits are starting to operate.
buzzing~~~
A deep rumble emanated from Marx and Engels, like the low growl of some wild beast.
This sound is caused by a large amount of magic passing through the circuit, just like the sound of magic being released. Of course, only a huge output of magic will produce this sound.
Moreover, the sound wasn't originally that loud. The reason it's so loud now is because Marne has so many magic circuits, tens of thousands of them. Even after removing the damaged ones that are unusable, there are still more than seven or eight thousand. When they operate simultaneously, the resonance naturally makes the sound louder.
"Step aside!"
When Ma En shouted, the six people who had already heard the commotion quickly moved aside to make room for Ma En to deal damage.
When Marn activated his magic circuit at full power for the first time, he felt an incredibly powerful surge of magic within him and couldn't help but feel excited.
"Eat my demon bullet storm!"
After shouting something meaningless, Ma En pushed his hands forward, and a vast amount of magical power, through the magic program he had constructed, simultaneously activated countless spells.
Countless crimson magic bullets erupted like high-pressure water jets, forming a beam of light that hurtled towards the corrupted army on the opposite side.
BOMMMM!!!
Amidst the continuous explosions, the corrupted army, the black mud, and even the ground of Yuanzang Mountain were all blasted through.
That wasn't all. With a gritted tooth and a twist of his wrists, a terrifying barrage of projectiles, forming pillars of light, swung like sharp swords as his wrists turned.
BOMMM!!
"..."X6
After everything calmed down, everyone stared blankly at the ground that had been chipped away and the vanished corrupted army.
"good chance!"
"There is a flaw!"
However, those corrupted warriors who had already rushed to the group and thus escaped the calamity did not hesitate. Taking advantage of the Lion King and Mordred's stunned state, they all rushed forward.

Chapter 87 The Resurgence of the Army, Retreat, and Defense
The corrupted warriors charged forward, and everyone quickly snapped back to reality, focusing their attention to prepare for battle.
But what they didn't expect was...
The soldiers bypassed them, even the five people in the back row, and headed straight down the mountain.
"Oh no! The enemy is entering the village... Bah! Their target is to attack the city!"
Maren, at the back of the group, was the first to react. He raised his Zanpakuto and slashed at a corrupted warrior passing by him, shouting a warning to the others.
The others realized what was happening and began attacking the remaining corrupted warriors.
The Zanpakuto easily tore apart the armor materialized from the soul, and with a 'whoosh,' it took down one of the corrupted warriors. Ma En then charged toward the nearest other one.
He unleashed all the martial arts skills he had honed in his previous duel with the Lion King, dodging left and right on the battlefield and defeating his enemies with just one or two strikes. He even took advantage of the gaps in his running to release a few magic bullets, gradually forming his own unique fighting style, which can be described as quite ferocious.
Just as everyone was chasing after the remnants of an enemy army, a few scattered, corrupted warriors were rushing towards Fuyuki City at the foot of the mountain.
Boom! ! !
The earth shook again.
“On the mountain!”
Mordred, a scout with exceptional intuition, immediately noticed the anomaly and reported it.
Everyone turned to look and saw that the mountain, which had been eroded by a massive barrage of barrages from Ma En, was now spewing out large amounts of black mud from the ground, even more so than before.
That's not the most crucial point. The crucial point is that many more black figures crawled out of the black mud, and their appearances were very familiar.
"Are those the same guys from before? How could this happen?! Have they been wiped out?!"
Not to mention others, even Marne himself was astonished.
No!
Can it still be like this? !
The dead, corrupted Shadow Servant has been resurrected?!
Before Ma En could think further, the newly emerged corrupted army scattered in all directions.
"They! Evil!"
Knowing what they were planning to do, the Lion King, who had the strongest sense of justice among them, immediately became anxious.
They wanted to stop them, but to their dismay, they found that the corrupted army was too scattered and too numerous for them to handle.
Ma En's expression also turned grim, not only because of the danger posed by the corrupted army, but also because the situation was beyond his comprehension.
As a time traveler, the greatest advantage is intelligence.
But now, something unexpected has happened that is beyond his intelligence, which is very upsetting.
However, he calmed himself down and, after a moment's thought, said, "Strategic retreat. Let's go back and build fortifications first. Gil, bring out your Vimalakirti."
"Tsk, don't act so casually and order me around. But the situation is urgent, so I won't hold it against you."
