Niang Shanshan grumbled slightly, then obediently took out the flying boat 'Vimalakirti' from the treasure vault.
No one else had any objections, and they felt that Marx and Engels' choice was correct.
Given the current situation, even Marx and Engels don't know the reason behind it. It's best not to act rashly, but to solve the existing problems first, and then make subsequent choices after considering the overall situation.
The seven people, carrying the three unconscious ones, boarded a flying boat and quickly overtook the corrupted army.
"What kind of defensive fortifications are you planning to build?"
Before they knew it, they had reached the edge of Fuyuki City, and Niang Shanshan asked Ma En.
The subtext is: where should this fortification be built?
Ma En frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "I plan to surround the entire Fuyuki City and fly around it. I can handle it all from here."
If you don't know where the enemy will attack from, then the best defense is to cover yourself from all sides.
As for whether doing this will expose the mystery?
Ma En said, "So what if it's exposed? The Magic Association will handle it afterwards."
And we can't worry about that now.
An army of 30,000 with Servant-level strength roams about, and whatever they do inevitably exposes their mysteries to the public.
Therefore, it would be better to first think about how to stop this large army's movement.
Although we don't know their goal or why they attacked Fuyuki City, they were definitely up to no good after being corrupted by the black mud.
Upon hearing this, Niang Shanshan didn't say much. She controlled Vimaye to start flying around Fuyuki and lowered the altitude a bit so that Ma En could operate it.
The Lion King, Mordred, and Tokiomi Tohsaka, who were unaware of Maren's magic (cheat code), looked over curiously, wondering what Maren was up to.
Ma En stood at the edge of Vimalakirti, reaching out to the ground, his brow furrowed as he focused his attention.
After a moment of contemplation, he said softly, "Construction."
A white light suddenly appeared, rising from the ground and extending continuously as Vimaya flew, forming a long band of light. As Vimaya flew rapidly, it eventually closed into a ring, enveloping Fuyuki City.
"I... this is it!" X2
When the light faded, something that had never been there before appeared before everyone's eyes.
Tokiomi Tohsaka was completely stunned. Although he knew that Maren's generation magic (in his own opinion) was very powerful, he never expected it to be this powerful, generating such a large building ring in just one minute!
The Lion King and Mordred were startled by the incredibly familiar building before them, and instinctively blurted out, "Chalk City!"
That's right, what Marne built this time is none other than the royal city of Camelot, the city of chalk!
Well, that's not quite right either, because Marx and Engels only built the outer ring of the city wall, which is just the gate.
Looking at their familiar front door, the Lion King and Mordred were momentarily transported back to the past.
Then, he looked at Ma En with some surprise, as if he wanted Ma En to see through him.
This chalk city was a symbol of the Camelot dynasty, but it also vanished into history along with the Camelot dynasty.
Aside from those who lived through that era and saw it at the time, modern people simply cannot know what it looked like in its entirety.
So they were curious: how did Maren know all this? Or was it just a coincidence? Did he just happen to have designed it?
Marne noticed their gazes, but didn't offer any further explanation.
The reason he built the city walls in this way was not intentional.
The main purpose is to deepen the impression by recalling some city walls that I have seen before (pictures are also acceptable), which will make the construction process more convenient and faster.
His first thought was naturally the Great Wall of China.
But perhaps because I had seen it so many times in various films before, my impression of it was a bit vague. Then this magnificent white chalk city suddenly appeared, and before I knew it, it was built just like it.

Chapter 88 Burning Fuyuki, Rioting Hassan, Transformed Undead
"The strength of this city wall is comparable to that of a Noble Phantasm, and for the time being, it's about enough."
As Marne was saying this and began to think about what to do next, Nero suddenly shouted from the side.
"Look there!"
The sound drew the attention of the already tense crowd, who looked in the direction Nero was pointing.
Suddenly, a burst of light appeared in a corner of the city.
The winterwood still caught fire.
In the firelight, one could vaguely see people awakened in the middle of the night, fleeing in all directions, with some dark figures chasing after them, swiftly reaping lives.
"It's Assassin's clone!"
Mordred instantly recognized the figures as the Hundred-Faced Hassan group, with whom she had fought before.
"So even he has turned to the dark side, and it seems he had already been lying in wait for a while."
Maren's face immediately turned extremely ugly, as did Tokiomi Tohsaka's.
Marne was because of Hassan's abilities.
If Iskandar's 30,000-strong army was only somewhat troublesome, then the Hundred Families were even more difficult to deal with.
Because he is so slippery, and with the Assassin's class skill, Presence Concealment, if Hyakko is determined to hide and secretly cause trouble, then it would be really difficult to find him.
But now that these people are all in the city, things are not going to go smoothly.
Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression was purely due to the actions of the Hyakko, who were massacring innocent civilians.
Besides being humiliated as the administrator of Fuyuki territory, it's also foreseeable that the Mage Association's subsequent accountability efforts will be quite a blow to the Tohsaka family.
"There's more over there!" X2
With their exceptional intuition, the Lion King and Mordred once again took on the role of scouts, simultaneously pointing to another location.
In two other places, clones of Hassan with a hundred faces also appeared, wreaking havoc and killing.
"Work in pairs, each pair handling one direction. Don't let any clone escape, or we'll be in big trouble if they hide. Jill will stay behind and provide support from the air."
Marx and Engels once again took on the role of commander, issuing a series of instructions.
The group assignments were quickly decided: a melee-ranged pairing, Nero and Mordred in one group, Lion King and Aozaki Touko in another, and Marne with Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was considered a bit of a burden at the time.
At first, Nero and Aozaki Touko were not satisfied with the assignment. They both hoped to be in a group with Marne, saying that at least one person should be in a group with him, as they were very worried about him.
However, Ma En resolutely defied all objections, arguing that since he wanted to activate the full map cheat, it should be relayed to Niang Gilgamesh by Tohsaka Tokiomi so that she could better support the various groups, leaving them speechless for the time being.
Although he was puzzled as to what was wrong with the two of them and why they were so concerned about him, the situation was urgent and he didn't have time to think about it.
After Nero and Aozaki Touko asked Gilgamesh to look after Marne, the three groups were successively deployed to the three incident locations.
……
"Help!"
"Are you kidding me! Don't you want to die?!"
"Get out of my way! I'll move aside!"
"Waaaaah~!"
"Dad! Mom!"
"My child! My child! Please save my child!"
Upon arriving at the scene, what greeted my eyes was a crowd of people fleeing in all directions amidst the flames. Shouts and cries rang out continuously, and panic and despair filled the air, making it hard to breathe.
Not far away, figures moved swiftly, splashing blood wherever they went. The strong smell of blood, along with the figures' maniacal laughter, spread the most primal fear in the human heart.
"This is really true, it's so oppressive it makes me want to vomit."
Even Marx and Engels, who had killed many people, couldn't help but feel nauseous in this situation.
The scene here was so disturbing that even though I was conscious, my brain reacted to the sight before me and sent out various signals to get my body away from it.
Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was standing to the side, also turned pale and almost gagged, but he managed to hold it in.
"I've put a shield on you. Your job is to disrupt them from the sidelines and stop them from continuing their killing spree. I'll take care of them."
After casting several layers of shields on Tokiomi Tohsaka and himself, Ma En drew his Tang sword and charged forward.
Blades flashed and magic bullets flew, swiftly reaping the rewards from Hassan's clones.
Tokiomi Tohsaka wasn't idle either. Although his output was limited, he was still somewhat useful. He used magic attacks to strike the other clones of the fleeing crowd and prevent them from harming the people.
"what is that?"
"Great! Someone has come to rescue us!"
"How amazing! They must be messengers sent by the gods to destroy these demons."
Some of the last runners also spotted the two, and were immediately overjoyed. Some even bowed to the two on the spot.
Tokiomi Tohsaka's lips twitched twice. While struggling to stop Hassan's clones from attacking the stagnant crowd, he shouted at them, "What are you standing there for! It's dangerous! Get moving!"
Upon seeing that the ferocious Hassan clones were not all dead, the remaining crowd quickly sprang into action again, scattering and fleeing once more.
At that moment, Marx and Engels suddenly shouted, "Tokiomi! Watch out for those corpses! There's something wrong with them!"
"what?!"
Tokiomi Tohsaka was slightly taken aback, but before he could react, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose from a corpse lying on the ground next to him.
The black smoke quickly decayed the flesh and blood, leaving only a skeleton. Then, the black smoke condensed on the skeleton and transformed into weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds. The skeleton then jumped up and attacked Tokiomi Tohsaka.
clang!
A skeleton—no!—or rather, some kind of undead skeleton soldier, slashed at Tokiomi Tohsaka.
Tokiomi Tohsaka, covered in cold sweat, stared at the sharp blade that was blocked by a layer of golden light, and felt a wave of fear wash over him.
He almost died; without that shield, he might have been dead.
[Niang Shanshan: The other two groups reported that the people killed by the Hundred-Faced Clones have been transformed into skeleton soldiers. Be careful on your side.]
Only when he heard his mother Gilgamesh's magical communication in his mind did Tokiomi Tohsaka manage to calm his wildly beating heart.
[Tokiomi Tohsaka: I've already seen it; it's not injured.]
After replying, Tokiomi Tohsaka unleashed a fiery attack that killed the skeleton soldier in front of him. Turning around to look around, he realized that the corpses around him had all been transformed, and he was surrounded by hordes of skeleton soldiers.
