That's because the Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System was controlled by someone else. The system directly manipulated the system, causing all the contracted Heroic Spirits to return to the Throne of Heroes. Only Leonardo da Vinci, who had not contracted with anyone, escaped this fate.
Chapter 298 New Strategy, This Wave, This Wave is Called Cutting Off the Supply Line!
Marne wasn't against releasing Chaldea either, and he suspected that the staff might do something underhanded.
I'm just not comfortable with Chaldea as an organization.
Chaldea is, after all, an organization under the Mage's Association, and is subject to its control.
If the Magic Association tells you to stop, Chaldea has to shut down; if it tells you to disband, the staff have to obediently go home.
This is what Marne was worried about. That's how it was in the original story. The Chaldeans, who were the heroes who saved humanity, were ultimately questioned and punished.
Therefore, Ma Encai was not at ease and had Black Hair continue to be contracted under the Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System.
He was naturally happy to accept the offer to switch with Black Hairless.
They immediately began the process, changing the contract for the black-haired girl.
This process was a bit more complicated than the contract with Jeanne Alter and the other two Servants without Masters, but it wasn't too difficult for Marne, who easily got it done.
After everything was settled, the six of them went downstairs together, and the others had already gotten up as well.
Without wasting any words, Ma En prepared some delicious food and invited everyone to start eating breakfast.
While eating, he opened his communication device and contacted Chaldea.
The image was projected, but this time the person opposite him wasn't Roman, but Leonardo da Vinci, with a chibi version of Olga Marie still perched on his head.
Marne didn't mind and smiled, "Good morning, Vincent, little Mary, what are your plans for today?"
Da Vinci, who was drinking coffee, simply smiled and winked, without replying or moving.
The reason she was seated here was not only because everyone else had gone to rest, but also because Roman had been disliked again.
Olga Marie scolded Roman more than once, saying he was too restless and it was difficult to stand on his head.
It should be understood that even the smallest movement would be as powerful as an earthquake for Olga Marie at this point.
Roman's easily startled personality has given Olga Marie quite a hard time these past few days.
As luck would have it, Roman was absent, so Olga Marie immediately replaced him.
This is also why Leonardo da Vinci remained silent and still; knowing that Olga Marie had grievances about this, she naturally wouldn't step on that landmine again.
As for why Leonardo da Vinci was chosen instead of other staff members?
One reason was that Olga Marie wanted to ask Leonardo da Vinci about the progress of his research on her 'resurrection'.
Secondly, she wanted Leonardo da Vinci to make a small modification to the conductor's seat, giving her a more stable position so she wouldn't have to stand on someone else's head anymore.
"Of course, I'm planning to let you know."
Olga Marie ignored Marne's form of address and said, "After our discussion last night, we have made the following adjustments to your actions today..."
This is why Roman wasn't there; everyone on Marne's side could rest last night, but those on Chaldea couldn't.
A meeting was held overnight to review the situation, all possibilities, and possible responses, which lasted almost until dawn.
With the intense stress of the past few days, Roman, Weber, and Reines, all three of them with average physical conditions, needed to rest.
Only Leonardo da Vinci, a heroic spirit, and Olga Marie, who desperately needed rest due to being in a spirit state, managed to persevere.
As for the action recommendations they came up with after their discussion, the general idea was that everything else would remain the same, but they could send a small team to communicate with the Kingdom of Flandre and see if they could get help from the people in the singularity.
Marx and Engels did not object and accepted the suggestion. After all, there is strength in numbers, especially in times like this, where the effect of a large-scale human wave tactic is particularly significant.
No matter how much the Black Marshal tries to hide, as long as he's planning something, he'll inevitably slip up and be noticed by ordinary people.
Even if Marshal Black is well hidden, ordinary people can still serve to notify them when he makes a move.
Afterwards, Marne chatted with Olga Marie for a while longer before hanging up and turning to look at the people at the table.
"Have you all finished eating? You all heard what happened, so let's get started."
"Yes!"XN
Everyone sprang into action, but this time, since Jeanne Alter had already submitted, she casually summoned the wyvern that was not far away, which replaced the vehicle and became everyone's new mode of transportation.
Since there's no longer any need to worry about attacks from wyverns, the composition of the search teams has changed. In addition to the Master, two Servants form a team so they can look after each other.
Mashu teamed up with Joestar, and of course, Gudako, who had to accompany Mashu, was also there. The three of them were going to communicate with the royal family of Flandre.
Although they rode a two-legged dragon there, as long as the sage Teacher Qiao intervened, there was almost no possibility of communication breakdown.
The others, using the communicators constructed by Marx and Engels, began searching in all directions.
Meanwhile, Marne, accompanied by two Joans, began his tour.
The main purpose was to get Jeanne Alter back under control of the wyverns. Besides preventing these released wyverns from attacking humans again, the wyverns were also a group of good subordinates.
For example, it can be used as a vehicle or as a reconnaissance soldier.
Of course, the giant dragon, Fafnir, is also indispensable.
This thing is worth several Servants.
These are all usable forces, so we should naturally collect them. Otherwise, why would we leave them for the Black Marshal to use?
correct!
The remaining two Servants, D'Eon and Atalanta, can also be controlled by Jeanne Alter and recruited.
Looking at it this way, it seems like a real shame about the Black Marshal.
Jeanne Alter was kidnapped by Marne, and along with her Servants and wyverns, they all defected to the enemy, completely draining her of the power she had previously summoned using the Holy Grail.
That's terrible! He's going to be all alone and at odds with the whole world!
Marx and Engels couldn't help but let out a pitying laugh.
"Pfft haha~!"
"What's wrong? What's so funny?"
Black Jeanne, who was riding with Marne and leaning against him, was puzzled when she saw Marne suddenly laugh.
"It's nothing, it's just that I find Giles' current situation a little funny."
Ma En smiled and told Black Jeanne about his earlier thoughts.
"Hahaha, now that you mention it, it's really true."
Upon hearing this, Black Jeanne laughed out loud, completely disregarding the fact that it was Marshal Black who had 'resurrected' her.
Because she had already seen through it all.
The Black Marshal is a perverted and paranoid maniac. He 'resurrected' her simply out of personal will, but he also forcibly transferred all his hatred for Bolanxi to her.
Although Jeanne Alter was grateful to the other party for 'reviving' her, giving her life and allowing her to meet Marne, she was very dissatisfied with Marshal Alter's actions.
What the hell do they take her for? A sculpture you can mold at will?!
Chapter 299 Marshal: Black Marshal, what does that have to do with me!
After understanding everything, Jeanne Alter developed a sense of disgust towards Marshal Alter, a feeling akin to that of the Creator.
Similar to a certain anime, where characters created by the author come into reality, and these characters are mostly dissatisfied with the author.
After all, no one would feel good knowing that they were actually created.
Especially when they see that the so-called 'creator' is actually just a weak opportunist, or even weaker than themselves, proud people will feel uncomfortable.
Jeanne Alter is in the same situation now, so when she heard Marne say that Marshal Alter was in such a miserable state, she couldn't help but laugh.
That's why they say human happiness is built on the suffering of others.
Knowing that the Black Marshal, whom she dislikes, is unhappy and miserable, Jeanne Alter feels very happy and joyful!
"..."
On another wyvern beside her, Joan of Arc looked helplessly at the two chatting and laughing, feeling as if she were superfluous.
She was also a little annoyed, but out of shyness, she didn't say anything.
Forget it, do whatever you want. I'm tired, let's destroy it! Tight!
Just as the Saintess was feeling resentful about Marne and Jeanne Alter constantly showing affection, Marne received a call, interrupting their interaction.
Under Jeanne Alter's slightly displeased gaze, Maren answered the call; it was Gudako calling.
“Maensang, we have already made arrangements. The minister is willing to provide us with manpower, but he said that we need to provide some communication devices and transportation. Otherwise, with their current strength, the efficiency will not be very good.”
Gudako reported the situation with a relaxed expression.
It has to be said that with Teacher Qiao involved, this communication went incredibly smoothly.
The church's influence in this era was truly immense. As a saint of the church, Teacher George's mere presence commanded the obedient arrival of the hastily assembled royal court officials to greet him.
After understanding the current situation, the minister who temporarily took over the entire Flamsey excitedly agreed to Chaldea's request on the spot.
It's just a matter of dispatching some manpower; they'd be more than happy to have someone help them solve their problems.
Not to mention, even the Dragon Witch they feared has been captured by Chaldea, and they have a group of powerful Heroic Spirits to help them. Now all that's left is to find the culprit.
Upon hearing this news, these high-ranking officials felt as if they were dreaming.
After confirming that everything was true, there was no need for hesitation. They even wished they could personally take part in helping Bolanxi.
Those who stepped forward to establish a temporary internal government under these circumstances, to prevent Felanxi from falling into complete chaos, are truly people who care about Felanxi.
As for those before?
They were either killed by Jeanne Alter when she destroyed Charles VII, or they've run off to some unknown place to hide.
Those good-for-nothings don't care about anything, they only care about their own lives.
The only problem is that while they want to help, they don't seem to be able to help much.
First, Flandre is now severely weakened and lacks manpower; second, due to the times, communication and transportation methods are outdated, resulting in low effectiveness.
Left with no other option, they had to pass the problem back to Chaldea.
It's not that they don't want to help, it's that they're too incompetent and can't keep up.
