Chapter 207: The King's Army
Just when everyone was looking sideways at the changes in Shirai Moon, another cold air came out.
It's not coldness caused by magic, it's an anomaly caused by pure murderous aura.
The moonlit atrium was lit by a series of figures wearing skull masks and wearing black robes, and these figures surrounded the entire atrium.
"Is this your ruse, Golden Shine?"
Don't blame Rider for thinking so, after knowing that Assassin is still alive, Rider knows that this is probably a ploy by the Assassin and Archer's masters.
And now that so many Assassins are here, Archer's Master should also be aware.
"Shi Chen, this kid, actually makes such a cheap means. ”
Gilgamesh was also furious at the moment.
Because Tosaka Tokitomi did his courtesy to the hero king, Archer also recognized him as a master. Tosaka's actions made Archer more and more dissatisfied with him.
Although the party was started by Rider, it was Archer who served the wine. Sending a killer at such a banquet, what did Tosaka Toshitomi want. This is tantamount to smearing the face of the Hero King, does he know?
Saber fell into an unexpected crisis and gritted his teeth with hatred.
A rabble that relies on numerical superiority. Saber would never lose if attacked from the front, but only if Saber was the only one facing the enemy.
Now Saber has to protect Alice Phil. No matter how weak an Assassin is, it is quite a threat to humanity. Even Alice Phil, the android of Einzbelen, who can use first-class magic, can't stop the Assassin with magic alone. It was impossible for her to protect herself on her own.
Therefore, if you want to fight while protecting your companions, a large number of enemies becomes a very urgent problem.
From the Assassin's point of view, they also have a final resort.
Even if it is a group, it is a group with a limited number of people. Sacrificing most of the sacrifices in exchange for a small number of survivors to achieve victory is tantamount to suicidal behavior, so it is a killer tactic that can only be used in the final battle.
The Assassin are Servants who have been summoned for the Holy Grail, and they should not be able to bear to be used as pawns of Tosaka Tokitomi and Archer. However, they could not disobey the command.
For tonight's action, Yan Feng Qili used a spell that ordered them to "win even at the cost of sacrifice." The Commands are categorical to the Servants, in which case they have no choice but to follow the commands.
Although they were happy to see Saber, who was known as the strongest, change his face, but in fact she was not their target. The targeted targets are Rider's Master and Berserker's Master. Although the Rider has a powerful Phantasm, its destructive power is targeted, and if the Assassin attacks from all directions, he will definitely be able to attack his Master, and Berserker is also a powerful enemy whose combat ability is unknown, so it would be nice to be able to rule it out.
"Ri-Rider, hey, hey, hey・・・・・・"
Even as Webber shouted uneasily, Rider didn't move.
"Hey, kids, don't be so embarrassed. Isn't it just that there are guests at the banquet, and the wine is still drunk. ”
"Where do they look like guests!?"
Rider smiled wryly and sighed, then faced the Assassin who surrounded him, and he greeted with a foolish expression, "I said, guys, can you please restrain your ghostly energy? ”
Saber thought he had misheard, and even Archer frowned.
"Do you still want to invite them to the table? ”
Of course, the king's speech should be heard by all the people, and since there are people who come to listen to it, it does not matter whether it is an enemy or a friend. ”
Rider spoke calmly, scooping out the bottle of red wine with a handle and reaching for the Assassins.
"Come, you're welcome, if you want to drink together, come and get the cup yourself. The wine is with your blood. ”
Boom - a piercing sound answered Rider.
All that was left of Rider's hand was the handle of the spoon, and the spoon had partially fallen to the ground. It was done by one of the Assassins, and the wine in the spoon was scattered on the floor of the atrium.
Rider speechlessly looked down at the liquor scattered on the ground. The skull masks laughed as if they were mocking him.
"Don't say I didn't warn you. ”
Rider's tone was still calm, but it was clear that the feeling had changed. The only people who noticed the change were the three people who had been drinking with him before.
"As I said, this wine is your blood, isn't it? Since you let it spill on the ground, then I'm ・・・・・・."
Before the words fell, a whirlwind whistled.
"Saber, Berserker, and Archer, the last question of the feast, ask you, is the king alone?"
Rider, standing in the center of the hot air, asked. Looking at the cloak fluttering on his shoulders, I don't know when he has returned to the proper attire of a conquering king.
Archer laughed. There was no need to ask at all, so he replied with silence.
Shirai Yue also did not answer, and there is no need to share his own answers with others.
Saber didn't hesitate either. If she wavered in her faith, it would be a denial of the day she had spent as a king.
"Wang ・・・・・・ is naturally lonely"
"No, doesn't it mean that you didn't answer! Today I'll teach you what the real king is!"
An unknown hot wind eroded the present world, and then the world changed.
Webb and Alice Fell exclaimed・・・・・・ this is a phenomenon that only magicians can understand.
"It's actually an inherent enchantment?!"
The sun scorching the earth, the clear sky, and the horizon blurred by the sand. There is no obscuration as far as the eye can see.
Einzbelen at night changes in an instant, no doubt that it is just an illusion that has eroded the present world. It can be said that this is the limit of magic that can be called a miracle.
"How is it possible・・・・・・ can actually realize the scene in my heart?"
Iskandar spoke proudly in the midst of a wide enchantment.
"This is the land that our army once traversed. The warriors who have shared the weal and woe with me have this scenery firmly imprinted in their hearts. ”
As the world changed, the five people who were originally surrounded also changed positions.
The Assassins, who had been surrounded by themselves, were moved to one side alone, and on the other side were the people participating in the banquet.
Everyone felt the earth shake, and when they looked back, it was an army marching beyond the boundary.
"The world can be recreated because it is a vision in the minds of all of us!"
Only two people figured out what was going on in this strange scene, one was Shirai Tsuki, who already knew all this, and the other was Rider's Master Webb.
"These people... are all Servants..."
Because Webber was the only one present who was the Master, he understood that the true trump card of the Servant Heroic Spirit Iskandar, the true body of the ultimate Noble Phantasm, was appearing in front of his eyes.
EX-rank Enemy Treasure Phantasm, Continuous Summoning of Independent Servant.
"Look, this king's unequaled army!"
"Even though their bodies have been destroyed, their souls remain in the world as heroic spirits, and even so, they remain loyal to the legendary warriors of Yu, and the bond with them is my supreme treasure, my royal way, the strongest treasure that Iskander is proud of, the [King's Army]!"
