Chapter 356:

"Why? Ellie, are you in touch with Tohsaka Tokiomi?"

"No, it's just..."

Irisviel didn't know how to answer Artoris, it was related to the agreement between the three families. Although there is only one victor of the Holy Grail War, the Yusan family also has their tacit understanding, and the victor should be born in one of the three of them. In the eyes of outsiders, the goal of the Holy Grail War is the all-powerful wishing holy grail, but the three families who understand the "Grail of Heaven" ritual will give priority to eliminating the remaining four participants before killing each other.

Although this tacit understanding has already existed in name only, but the Holy Grail War has only entered its second day, so Tohsaka Tokiomi has absolutely no need to take this risk.

"It's just... Kiritsugu doesn't approve of you fighting."

"I know he will not agree." Emiya Kiritsugu's reply will not surprise Artolis, "I already understand Emiya's dedication to victory, but I am different from him, I am a knight , Emiya is a mercenary. As long as there is no conflict with victory, I will complete it as a knight, and Emiya will act as a mercenary."

Artolis had taken off the white suit he wore during the day, and he was wearing silver-white armor, and he was ready for battle.

"This is a fair duel. I hope Emiya will not disturb me. You tell him that if he is determined to destroy this sacred duel, I will take away a Command Spell from his hand."

Artoris was not polite, even if the other party was his Servant, Artoris did not act arrogant or inferior. He didn't flatter Emiya Kiritsugu because he was his Master, and he didn't despise him because of his uncompromising skills. Artoris' demeanor was well reflected in his knighthood.

At nine o'clock, Artolis came to the container stack in the bay. He didn't wait long before the golden Archer appeared.

It wasn't the first time Artolis saw Archer. Two nights ago, a good play written, directed and acted by Archer and Assassin was recorded by Emiya Kiritsugu, so Artoris would not be mistaken.

Especially in Archer's eyes, those eyes full of contempt were particularly annoying, as if they were born to be superior.

He was wearing golden armor, and except for his head, everything was protected by the armor. He seemed to be looking down at Artoris from above, with an innate arrogance.

"I thought that after killing Assassin, you mice wouldn't bother me, but I didn't expect that you would be the first to come to the door, holy swordsman."

Holy Swordsman? It seems Archer already knows his identity. However, Artolis didn't think about how to cover it up. His holy sword was too good, and he could be seen through his identity almost at the top. In this case, it is better to show his identity dignifiedly, this is the style of the knight king Arthur.

"Yes, my name is King Arthur Pendragon, the King of Knights of Britain. Archer, the honor of this duel belongs to you and me, don't you plan to say your name?"

"Duel? Honor? It's really funny. The reason why I came here is just to do a warm-up exercise before the main show. Come on holy swordsman, let's see if you can play in this farce. How can you please me?"

Behind Archer seemed to open the door of a treasure chest, and several swords and guns appeared in the air, the number was six, and they pointed to Artolis in front of Archer.

"Go ahead and let me see how long you can last."

These weapons are like arrows shot out. The Noble Phantasm was originally an armament that was upgraded with the attack of the Heroic Spirit, and every Servant would use it as if he cared for his own half body, but it was unheard of for a Servant to throw it at will like Archer.

The solid concrete floor and the surrounding containers were destroyed the moment the Noble Phantasm was shot. Even though Artoris was wearing armor, he couldn't resist the shooting of these Noble Phantasms.

But Archer didn't stop just like that. At the same time as the Noble Phantasm was shot out, a new Noble Phantasm emerged from behind him again, this time the number was eight.

The shooting of the six Noble Phantasms did not hurt Artoris, and the holy sword was already swung in his hands, and he quickly shot down the Noble Phantasm that was close to him. However, before he could stop, the eight Noble Phantasms appeared again, and Artoris had to repeat the action just now, but he soon discovered that Archer's Noble Phantasms were like endless.

Ten, twelve, fourteen... Archer's number of shots increased gradually each time, and Saber's movements became faster and faster. However, even though Archer's shot was shot down, Artoris became unable to move an inch. Even though the Servant was made of ether and its power came from the Master's magic, every dangerous shot would gradually tire his spirit.

Archer's Noble Phantasm rain is not only shot from behind him, but also from the top of his head and the side of his body. The door to the treasure house with the Noble Phantasm is completely controlled by Archer. He can clearly "fire all arrows at once", but it is only slow. Slowly build up your shots. He wasn't in a hurry to kill Saber, as he said, it was just a warm-up exercise for the show, Saber was just a clown he used to please.

Losing the opportunity to fight, Artolis was not only unable to move an inch, but also lost the opportunity to leave the battlefield, and could only stand in place like a target.

Suddenly, a powerful torrent of magic energy erupted centered on Artoris, and the Noble Phantasms that approached were blown away at once. This is the release of the magic power he has mastered, which has won him a short opportunity. He had been preparing for this moment, found the gap to shoot and left the original position.

Archer's Noble Phantasms are still shooting continuously, but the running Artolis is not as passive as before. While dodging one by one, he is constantly approaching Archer.

"Oh? Well done, holy swordsman, it would be too insulting to take it so easily..."

I don't know what to think, Archer suddenly felt very angry, and the Noble Phantasms that were shot became denser in an instant, but Artolis quickly came to Archer, raised the holy sword in his hand towards him. Cut off Archer.

From the left shoulder to the right waist, the person will be cut in half.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was Artolis' speed that was too fast, and Archer had no time to avoid it. However, Artoris could see the mocking smile on Archer's face.

When the holy sword slashed at Archer's armor, there was a series of sparks where the golden armor and the holy sword touched.

"what?"

While Artolis was still in shock, Archer's hand had already grabbed a short sword in the treasury to attack Artolis, and the short sword could easily cut through Artolis' armor.

Fortunately, Artolis stepped back at the crucial moment, otherwise his arm would have been severed.

"—"

The right hand holding the sword was almost cut to the bone, and the holy sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Have you seen it, holy swordsman, this is the real gap between you and me."

Suddenly, Archer's face was full of anger: "Rider, how dare you attack this king's prey!?"

…

"Miss Irisviel, you summoned a powerful Servant."

On the other side, the two watched Archer and Saber in battle, and they had no intention of starting.

Irisviel is very self-aware. The Einzbern family is not the kind of magic noble that is good at fighting. The magic that this family is proficient in is alchemy, so they can create dolls based on the Holy Maiden of Winter.

For some reason, Tohsaka Tokiomi just watched the battle below quietly, but from the current battle situation, it was obvious that he had full confidence in his Servant.

"Are you making fun of me, Tomisaka Tokiomi?"

Even Irisviel, who had never experienced any battles, could see that Archer had the upper hand now.

"No, I'm amazed. Saber can stand in front of this king for such a long time. It really deserves to be the strongest job agency."

Tohsaka Tokiomi stared at the battlefield intently, his face was calm and elegant from beginning to end, and there was no sneering or smugness in his tone.

It seems that this Archer has a unique identity, no, being able to use so many Noble Phantasms at once is enough for Tohsaka Tokiomi to enjoy the joy of victory first.

Something must be done at this time, otherwise, Saber will definitely lose here.

But what can she do? To support Artolis? Don't be kidding, there is no room for her to intervene in such a battle. In comparison, the chance of a sneak attack on Tohsaka Tokiomi around him would be higher, but Irisviel knew that although Tohsaka Tokiomi's attention was on the battlefield, he never relaxed his guard against her.

This magician is a very cautious type.

"Is that the only way? No wonder he invited Saber to a duel."

"No, the invitation letter was not sent by us."

This was originally Irisviel's muttering in a low voice, but he didn't expect Tohsaka Tokiomi to hear it, but what was even more shocking was Tohsaka Tokiomi's words.

The duel letter was not sent by Tohsaka Tokiomi, but it was not sent by Irisviel either. Does that mean that a third party sent a duel letter to both parties?

"Tokiomi Tohsaka, you said that the duel letter was not sent by you? Stop this duel now, we have been tricked, there is someone else who is provoking us to fight, making us both lose, that person must be here now. around."

Irisviel was completely convinced that they were involved in a conspiracy. Someone sent a duel letter to the Einzbern family and the Tohsaka family at the same time, causing Archer and Saber to lose both, while he could take advantage of the fisherman.

"I know."

To Irisviel's surprise, Tosaka Tokiomi seemed to be very clear about the result.

"Tohsaka, Matou, and Einzbern, as the creators of the 'Cup of the Sky' ceremony, the original plan was to expel the foreign participants and then decide the outcome, so that the winner would emerge from the three families. Although we Enemies in the future, but at least for now, we are allies."

"If that's the case, why are you continuing this battle?"

"It's simple, because I don't need allies anymore."

Tosaka Tokiomi's heart was filled with boundless confidence, as if victory already belonged to him.

"In front of this king, the Holy Grail is at hand, and I don't need the help of other allies."

"What about Assassin? Don't you need it anymore?"

Irisviel said this in a fit of anger, and she regretted it when she blurted out. As expected, Tohsaka Tokiomi exuded killing intent at this moment, but unexpectedly, the killing intent subsided in the next instant.

"It doesn't matter, I think some people are already suspicious, but I don't care, because Archer will not lose."

At this time, as if in response to Tosaka Tokiomi's words, Artoris was injured by Archer and lost his ability to fight.

-ended.

Tohsaka Tokiomi stroked the gem on the cane. Even though he looked calm on the surface, when victory approached, his heart was still very excited.

Even if they are the same three families, they are potential allies, but when the Holy Grail War begins, they are also mortal enemies, because there is only one victor of the Holy Grail War, not to mention the Tohsaka family and Einzbern because of some The reason is that the relationship has already fallen to the freezing point.

Tosaka Tokiomi felt an unprecedented ease, and now, as long as Archer's sword gently waved at Saber's head—

But just when Tohsaka Tokiomi felt victory approaching like never before, Archer stopped.

"Rider, how dare you attack this king's prey!?"

Archer let out a roar, he turned his head, his eyes looked into the distance, and then left Saber and left the battlefield.

Tohsaka Tokiomi and Irisviel watched this scene dully, and no one expected that the battle would end with such a dramatic change just before the end.

Archer, what the **** are you doing? !

At this moment, Tohsaka Tokiomi had the urge to use a Command Spell to force Archer to kill Saber.

Section 577 "The King's Army", Chapter 109 Conquering the King

After finally contacting the Matou family, Matou Kariya died. But in terms of the result, it was no different, Roman replaced Matou Kariya as Berserker's Master, and also got two Command Spells from Matou Kariya. Compared with an alliance relationship with certain uncertainty, it would be more convenient for Roman to personally envoy the two Servants. As for the issue of magic, there is no need to worry about it. Roman still has several Saint Quartz.

When he left Matou's house, there was a soy sauce bottle hanging on his body, and a child with long purple hair, about seven years old. Her face was expressionless, her eyes were empty, she neither cried nor laughed, like a quiet puppet, it was not difficult to see that the child's spirit had collapsed. After inspection, it was found that the child's magic circuit had been artificially modified, and it was thought that the child was abducted from the Matou family, who had withered talents, and was modified so that she could inherit the magic of the Matou family.

Neither Roman nor Mona Lisa is surprised, because magicians are such a group of people, and the inheritance of magic is family inheritance. In the eyes of some magicians, the disciples who can inherit their magic are even more important than their own children.

"I feel like you're nosy at all." Looking at Roman who was holding the girl in front of her, Mona Lisa also felt helpless, "We can't help at all, we don't need a few days to leave, we'll be here then Everything will return to its original shape.”

Roman stopped and looked at Mona Lisa with an unhappy expression: "Mona Lisa, don't say such things in front of children."

When Mona Lisa said those words just now, the body of the child in her arms was shaking, perhaps it was the fear brought by past memories.

"...you're really."

Are you addicted to being a child's father?

Lixiang is like this, Mash is like this, and now there is another one... But this time is different, what happened to the singularity will return to the original trajectory after repairing, which means that what Roman has done is useless.

Knowing that they are going to ambush Archer next, are they going to take their children to the battlefield?

Suddenly, the two heard a roar approaching from a distance. It was a deafening sound like a thousand troops charging, and it was mixed with a thunderous explosion. After a few short breaths, it sounded in their ears.

Soon, a chariot appeared in front of Roman and Mona Lisa. The chariot rolled up the smoke, and there were purple electric sparks around it. What was even more exaggerated was that the chariot fell from the sky.

When the smoke disappeared, the two saw two majestic bulls pulling the chariot, and on the chariot were Rider and his Master who they saw during the day.

"Good evening, Caster and her Master." Rider greeted Roman and Mona Lisa cheerfully, but they all knew that the visitors were not good, so they came here just to say hello at this time. This joke was not funny at all.

It's really bad, to know that they have to find Kenneth at the agreed time next, if Rider delays the delay, they will lose the chance to defeat Archer.

"This is Rider, why is he here, this time..."

El-Melloi II's exclamation sounded in his ears. He seemed to be very surprised that Rider appeared here. Did he forget that this place was not what he knew about his fourth Holy Grail War?

"Oh? There's even a magician here, but why do you think I can't be here?"

El-Melloi II's voice successfully attracted Rider's attention, but after he looked around, he couldn't find any trace of El-Melloi II.

This unreliable guy...

"Because there are more important things worthy of your attention, you shouldn't miss it."

"Are you talking about the battle between Saber and Archer? Indeed, the battle of heroes is more noteworthy than the alliance of magicians. It's a pity that I can't intervene. If I really get close, I will definitely be attacked by both sides."

It seems that the battle between Saber and Archer is still going on fiercely, and it seems that the appointed time has not been missed. No, no, if we start a war with Rider now, then encountering Archer will be another problem. Can we only rely on Artolis to damage Archer?

"However, it arrived right away. As expected of Rider, is this carriage your Noble Phantasm?"

"Yes, this is my Kamuy Wheel."

"Idiot, why did you suddenly tell the enemy about your Noble Phantasm?"

"It doesn't matter if you say it, isn't it obvious at a glance?"

It is not difficult to see that between Rider and his Master, Rider is clearly the leader.

The position of Rider must have a certain riding object as a legend, and this bullock cart is full of momentum, and it is impossible for anyone to despise these two chariots with purple lightning all over their bodies and strange divinity.

"The battle here just now was not intense, and there was still a delay in the barrier. Even if you are at a high place, you may not be able to find one, but Rider came here at the first time. I think you should have been here since one day. Pay attention to this place from the beginning...you should have known from the beginning that we were here."

From the distance just now, it was not easy to notice the Matou family from that position, so it was more likely that Rider had been paying attention to Roman from the beginning, and then waited for them to appear.

"No, that's not the case, I just found out about it." Rider patted the Master next to him on the shoulder and said, "Not long ago, this kid's cell phone suddenly rang, and someone told us that Caster's Master planned to Form an alliance with Berserker. If the alliance is successful this time, you will form a three-way alliance of Caster, Lancer, and Berserker. At that time, even if other Servants form an alliance and form a confrontation, it will be at a disadvantage. Although it sounds alarmist, and that man It's also ill-intentioned, but I still pay attention here. I just didn't expect you to move so fast, and before I can think of a countermeasure, your alliance will be successful."

Because there was no alliance at all, Roman got the ownership of Berserker directly from Matou Kariya.

Because Berserker was already spiritualized, Rider didn't know that Roman was Berserker's Master now.

"Okay. If you want to continue to delay waiting for Lancer to come to support you, there is no need for you to wait." Seeming to see through Roman's thoughts, Rider pulled the reins in his hand, "Before Lancer arrives, the battle here is It has ended."

Although Lancer's agility is high, it is not suitable for long-distance travel. According to the agreed position between the two, when Lancer arrives, there will be two games here.

"Mona Lisa!"
