Chapter 194: Einzbelen Castle
Night, quietly descending on Fuyuki City.
At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu and his assistant Maiya Kuyu, as well as his wife Alice Phil and his servant, Saber, gathered in the castle of Einzberen, in the forest about thirty kilometers west of Fuyuki City. This is the stronghold set up by the Einzberren family for the Holy Grail War.
At the castle's conference table, Emiya Kiritsugu summarizes the information he has received and explains the next battle.
"What is certain is that the Assassins who have been blessed by the Templar Church are still alive, and they are plural Heroic Spirits. In other words, Assassin's exit on the first day was entirely a scene with Archer's Master. The Templar Church and the Tosaka family are supposed to be united. β
"Kiritsugu, what about Caster's crusade order, anyway, the other Masters are already targeting Caster. β
This time, Yan Fengli was using Yang Mou, and the bait he sprinkled was too precious, so precious that basically all the masters took action.
"That's true. But when it comes to dealing with Caster, we have an advantage over other masters. I don't know if Caster is a ghost or something, mistaking Saber for Joan of Arc Dahl and targeting us, which is exactly what we want, we just have to be patient. β
The resemblance of Saber and Joan of Arc was not the main concern of Emiya Kiritsugu, who only knew that now was a good opportunity to eradicate the other fighters, so he even showed a smile on his face.
To this, the upright Saber objected: "Master, this is not enough, I can't tolerate that guy's evil deeds, we should crusade against him before the scope of his murder is extended." β
However, Emiya Kiritsugu ignored Saber and didn't even look at it, but instead talked to Alice Phil.
"Ellie, have you mastered the technique of this forest enchantment?"
"Yes, no problem. Then the problem remains with the curse of Saber's left hand. It's been eighteen hours since you killed Kenneth, and Saber's hands are still like that. β
Saber was furious when he found out about Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior of directly blasting the entire building, and Saber couldn't get used to Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior anyway.
"Neither Lancer nor his Master was fine. There are a total of five emissaries sent to the church today, and after excluding Assassin and Caster, it can be determined that Kenneth is still alive. β
"In order to prepare for the fight against Caster, wouldn't it be better to defeat Lancer first?"
"You don't have to do that. All you have to do is make the most of the location and take Saber around to disrupt the enemy. β
Hearing this, Saber only clenched his fist, and Alice Phil was also surprised.
"Won't you fight Caster?"
"Leave Caster alone, someone will deal with him, but rather, the guy who is obsessed with chasing Caster is our best prey. I'll go around it from the side and crush it from the side. β
In the end, Saber still couldn't hold back, and I have to say how sad it was for King Arthur to meet a master like Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Master, what a man like you isΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· How despicable and shameless are you going to stop!You're insulting us Heroes!Why don't you let me fight!Don't you believe me as your Servant?"
However, Emiya Kiritsugu still ignored Saber, feeling the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, Alice Phil tried to ease it: "There should be a truce except with Caster." β
"It doesn't matter, since the Templar Church has joined forces with Tosaka Totokito, then they can't be trusted, maybe even the so-called crusade order is just a ploy by them. So, disband. β
With that, Emiya Kiritsugu left the conference room, and the whole time, he didn't say a word to Saber.
Alice Phil, sensing that something was wrong, catches up with Emiya Kiritsugu, and then sees Emiya Kiritsugu at an observation deck, and he is so weak that he doesn't look like him.
"If I Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" A trembling voice came from Emiya Kiritsugu's mouth, which surprised Alice Phil a little.
"If I decide to leave everything here and run away, Ellie, would you like to come with me?"
Alice Phil's first reaction was not to agree or disagree, but to her own child, Elijah, still in the distant castle of Einzberen!
"What about Elijah, what about the kid who is still in the city?"
"Go back and take her away, and kill everyone who stands in my way!" said the words in a low voice, and the killing intent in those words was not faked.
"After this, I will give everything I have to you and Elija!"
Alice Phil only asked about Emiya's words: "Can we escape?
"If you can escape, it's still too late!"
Kiritsugu replied immediately. But this statement is not credible. Kiritsugu just said that sentence so that he could still have that illusory hope in his heart.
"You're lying, that's a lie. β
So Alice Fell pointed it out. Now they have no way out.
In order to support Emiya Kiritsugu, Alice Phil hugged Emiya Kiritsugu from behind.
"You will never be able to escape, you will never forgive yourself if you abandon the Holy Grail, you will never forgive yourself! β
"I'm so scared... That guy, Yan Feng Qili has his eyes on me, I heard Maiya say, he used Kenneth as bait to lure me into the bait, my actions were seen through by him, obviously fighting at the expense of you, obviously leaving Ilya behind, but the most dangerous guy has already set his sights on me! That guy I don't want to meet no matter what!"
In the end, Emiya Kiritsugu already faintly cried, for an assassin, being targeted is the most uncomfortable thing. If it was before, then Emiya Kiritsugu was not afraid, but the current Emiya Kiritsugu is not that machine.
"I won't let you fight alone, I'll protect you, Saber will protect you, and... Maiya is also there. β
Alice Phil hesitated a little when talking about Kuyu Maiya, but she still said it, just to add a little confidence to Emiya Kiritsugu.
Suddenly, a feeling of palpitations appeared in Alice Field.
"Kiritsugu!"
Emiya Kiritsugu instantly understood what was happening, and turned his head to look at Alice Phil: "Is there an enemy attack?" Fortunately, Maiya didn't set off, and now she can still attack with all her members. β
At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu has once again reverted to becoming a "magician killer", that indifferent and ruthless prop.
"Ellie, get ready to look at the crystal ball. β
