Chapter 36: Hercules
Let's talk about a king...... Ahem, the story of a hero.
There is such a hero.
He broke through the heavenly realm, made trouble in the underworld, and fought the Sea King.
He is infinitely powerful, his martial arts are excellent, and he has a stick that is unparalleled.
He was short-tempered and rude, often covering himself with a hide.
He has overcome countless hardships and hardships, and finally has a happy ending.
You must think I'm going to talk about Monkey King?
No, I'm talking about the great heroes of ancient Greece, the great heroes, Hercules!
In "Fate stay night", the servants summoned by the Einzberen clan.
The reason for choosing him is simple, Medea said that the evaluation is "the strongest"!
Greek mythology is the most well-known myth in the world, and there is no one who describes and portrays a legendary figure who can rank first among so many arrogant heroes for only one reason - he has an indisputable record.
Son of Zeus, the standard of a demigod body, needless to say.
As a baby, he can hurt Hera, who is a diva.
It's even more remarkable as an adult. The invulnerable beasts were strangled to death by him, and Hydra, known for its great resilience and poison, also died at his hands.
Even the master of the Olympian god system, the three main gods Zeus, the sea emperor Poseidon, and Hades Hades failed to defeat him, which is an impossible miracle in the supreme god generation.
He is the pride of humanity and the undisputed strongest corner in the history of mankind.
Since the defeat of the Third Holy Grail War, Einzberen has been working to summon powerful servants.
In the Fourth Holy Grail War, they targeted King Arthur, which ended in failure.
This time, they are pinning their hopes on an even stronger hero, Hercules.
Perhaps believing that the hero's overly strong ego would be an obstacle to obtaining the Holy Grail, they attached a spell of "madness" to Hercules after the successful summoning, making him a berserker who knows nothing but killing and fighting.
As the leader of the development of the Great Grail system, Einzberen has a certain degree of privilege, and this Holy Grail War is manifested as an early summoning. That is, two months before the start of the Holy Grail War, it takes two months to tame the berserker and turn it into a complete killing weapon.
It was only because of Hatres' sacrifice that the Holy Grail War began early, and Einzbelen's plans were seriously disrupted.
First of all, the two-month privilege was discounted, and the war, which was supposed to start in December, was launched in November, almost halved in time, and Hercules had to rush to Fuyuki to fight before the taming work was completed.
Secondly, the castle on the outskirts of Fuyuki did not have time to tidy up. It is the permanent base of Einzberen, and before the start of each Holy Grail War, someone will be sent to clean and tidy up, and the time period is about half a month to three weeks. Now, of course, it's too late.
Of course, this is not without its benefits, and the absence of a stronghold means that their actions become unpredictable. You must know that in the past ten years, Shinji and Kiritsugu have been working in the suburban castle a lot, with the purpose of conducting all-round surveillance of Einzbelen. Nowadays, these surveillance methods are no longer used, which directly leads to Hercules appearing near Emiya's house only to be discovered by Medea - the surveillance system is not omnipotent after all, and the eyeliner stationed at the airport is just an ordinary person who does not know the inside story. And after the last Holy Grail War, Einzberen was noticeably more cautious.
However, the so-called caution is relatively speaking, in the matter of attacking the Emiya's house, Einzberen showed the usual characteristics of artificial people - direct, in layman's terms, reckless, finding the target, and killing it directly.
The reason for being discovered is also very simple, Alice Phil and Illya were negligent.
The ease of life paralyzed their vigilance. When they first arrived in Fuyuki ten years ago, they were still worried about their family's pursuers, but as time went by, no pursuers arrived, and their nerves gradually relaxed.
In fact, not to mention them, even Shinji and Kiritsugu unconsciously put their minds at ease, thinking that Einzberen would not send any more pursuers. Kiritsugu and Maiya go out more and more every year, which is the best example.
If you are not vigilant, you will not pay so much attention to many things, such as going out to disguise, not going to crowded places, etc. Over time, the residents of Fukayama Town also knew that there lived a pair of silver-haired and red-eyed mothers and daughters who were as beautiful as dolls in an old-fashioned garden.
At this time, if someone with the same style appears, it is easy to associate it with whether it is a relative or something.
The citizens of Fuyuki are as simple as Gotham - cough cough, this one is not, a little enthusiastic to ask...... One can imagine what will happen.
And soβthe last thing Kiritsugu wanted to see happened.
At first, Einzberen did not use Hercules, but only sent a few combat androids.
In the perception of androids, the little grail androids are nothing but magic, how can they be opponents to fight androids? Jubstacheit personally developed and manufactured a combat weapon after knowing that outsiders could not be trusted, and excluding factors such as lifespan, cost, and experience, it was comparable to a servant in terms of physical fitness alone. This time it was brought specifically to deal with other masters, and the two non-combat androids were not yet able to be captured?
However, the fixed-minded Einzberen family does not know that Alice Phil and Illya are not ordinary androids, they can learn and improve. When she was pregnant with Illya, Alice Phil began to secretly learn magic and combat skills from Kiritsugu from everyone, and she has not left it behind for so many years.
Illya is even more powerful, Orange, Feather Silk, Old Man Jewel and Shinji have all taught her something to a greater or lesser extent, and any one she takes out will make the bigwigs of the clock tower blush. Although he has little combat experience like his mother, he still has an overwhelming advantage when dealing with androids who also have no combat experience.
Without activating the magic wand, she entered the state of a magical girl and defeated the androids with only alchemy. Because of their same origins, the mother and daughter did not take a heavy hand, but just disarmed them, tied them into zongzi, and prepared to ask a few questions.
However, before they could start asking, a terrifying roar was heard outside.
ββ β β β β β β β β β β β ββββοΌβ
Not a beast, not like a human, roaring like a monster.
Just hearing the sound made the mother and daughter tremble, and even their consciousness was frozen.
It's like having a knife around your neck, and the slightest movement will make your head fall to the ground.
Immediately afterward, the mother and daughter felt a violent tremor, the earth was shaking, the houses were shaking, the walls, pillars, and gates were destroyed one after another, and the terrible roar was getting closer and closer.
Finally, after another wall was shattered, a huge shadow hung over the backyard of Emiya's house.
PS: Uncle Hai and Zeus have wrestled, beaten Poseidon, shot Hades in the shoulder, and repelled Ares - to be honest, this is much tougher than Skaha, who doesn't know which god he slaughtered.
PS2: At the request of the book friends, I explained that the four or five battles of the Aijia are all servants summoned by the power of krypton gold (holy relics), regardless of whether Kiritsu joins the Aijia or not, no matter whether Illya is not there, as long as the Aijia gets the holy relic, Dull Mao and Uncle Hai will be summoned, but the master is different.
