114. King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table!
“…… You did it, right? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Archer shrugged innocently.
"Who knows, I don't have to figure out what those mongrels think. ”
"If the king accepts the king's challenge, it is naturally impossible to use other powers!" Xuanyuan Hao said for Archer.
Since so many assassins have been mobilized, it must not be Yan Fengqili's order alone. Presumably this was the intention of his teacher, Tosaka Tokitomi.
Because Shi Chen did his courtesy to the hero king, Archer also recognized him as a master. However, Shichen's behavior made Archer more and more dissatisfied with him.
Although the feast was initiated by Rider, it was Archer who served the wine. Sending killers in such a banquet, what did Shi Chen want. This is tantamount to smearing the face of the Hero King, does he know?
"Hmm...... It's a mess. ”
Seeing the enemy approaching, Webb let out a sigh that bordered on screaming. Incomprehensible, this is completely beyond the rule limits of the Holy Grail War.
"What's going on?!assassin after assassin...... Isn't there only one servant per rank?!"
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of their prey, the assassins couldn't help but laugh evilly.
You are right, we are servants with the whole as an individual, and the individual in it is only a shadow of the whole. ”
Neither Webb nor Alice Phil could understand. The assassin summoned by Yan Feng Qili was actually this kind of special existence.
"Old Man of the Mountain" - Of all the people who have inherited the terrible name of Hassan Sabaha for generations, only one has the ability to transform the flesh.
Unlike other Hassan, he did not make any modifications to his body. Perhaps it can be said that there is no need for this, because although his body is mediocre, his spirit can make the body transform freely.
He can have excellent strategy, can know foreign Chinese, can identify poisons, or can set traps. In short, he is a versatile assassin who can automatically switch abilities based on the needs of the mission. It is said that sometimes he can use strange powers and agility that his physical body could not possess, and use the illusionary martial arts that have long been forgotten.
He can disguise himself as a man, a woman, or a child, and he will stand next to you very naturally. Sometimes he is even able to change his personality depending on the occasion, so that no one can reveal his true identity.
But no one knows the truth. Although Hassan has a single body, he has a different soul.
Based on the knowledge at the time, there was no such thing as multiple personality disorder. In modern medicine, this is defined as a phenomenon of mental illness. For the assassin Hassan Sabaha, it was a mysterious "ability". He is able to use a variety of different knowledge and techniques through his cohabitants who inhabit his own body, confuse his enemies through different means, weave a web of defenses, and kill his targets in ways that no one could have predicted.
And the assassin who was summoned by Yan Feng Qili this time was the assassin known as "Hundred Changes".
He is a servant who has a body but also a myriad of souls. Fundamentally speaking, "they" are originally different souls, and because they have lost their physical restraints, "they" can completely materialize into different forms after they appear.
Of course, their total spiritual power is only "one person", and their ability value after splitting is definitely not comparable to the rest of the Heroic Spirits. But because of the exclusive skills of the Assassin, this group can be said to be invincible in the detective activities.
"Do you mean...... We've been watched by this bunch of guys to this day?"
Alice Fell muttered bitterly, and Saber couldn't help but shiver. Although the other party is not strong enough. But they were able to sneak in, and there were so many of them that even if she was the most combative of the servants, it was a considerable threat.
And they have been tracking their targets like shadows for a long time, and now they have given up their breath-cutting ability, and watching them lean forward without fear means ......
"They're going to get serious. ”
Saber fell into an unexpected crisis and couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred.
A rabble that relies on numerical superiority. Saber will never lose if attacked from the front, but only if Saber is the only one in the confrontation with the enemy.
Now Saber has to protect Alice Phil. No matter how weak an Assassin is, he is quite a threat to humanity. Even Alice Phil, the android of Einz Belen, 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.
How many assassins can Saber stop with a single sword?-no, it's not a question of how many people he can stop. Even if one person is missed at this time, that person can cause significant trauma to Alice Field.
So, the question now is not "whether it can be stopped", but "whether it can solve everything with one blow". And the number of assassins surrounding them is desperately large. Even if you add Luo Fengyun and Xuanyuan Hao, who are willing to make a move......
From the point of view of the Assassin, they also have the final means.
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 Assassins are servants summoned for the Holy Grail, and they can't stand being used as pawns of the Temptors and Archers - but they can't defy the Command.
For tonight's action, Yan Feng Qili used a spell that ordered them to "win even at the cost of sacrifice." Commands are categorical to servants, in which case they have no choice but to follow orders.
Although they were happy to see Saber, who was known as the strongest, change her face drastically, but in fact she was not their target. The designated target of attack is the master of the rider. Although the Rider has a powerful Noble Phantasm, its destructive power is directional, and if the Assassin attacks from all directions, he will definitely be able to attack the cowardly short master.
Yes, this was a dangerous moment for the conquering king Iskandar.
But—why is the giant servant still drinking leisurely?
“…… ri-rider, hey, hey......"
Even though Webb shouted uneasily, Rider still didn't move. He looked at the Assassin around him, his eyes still calm.
"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, and then faced the Assassin who surrounded him, and he greeted with a dull expression like a fool:
"I said, guys, can you restrain your ghostly spirit? My friend was terrified by you. ”
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 said calmly, scooping out the bottle of red wine with a handle and reaching out to the Assassins.
"Come, you're welcome, if you want to drink together, come and get the cup yourself. The wine is with your blood. ”
A piercing thud answered rider.
Only the handle of the spoon was left in Rider's hand, 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 wine 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 this change were the two 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.
The wind was hot and dry, as if it were about to burn everything. It wasn't like a forest at night, or the wind in the atrium of a castle - it came from the desert and roared in your ears.
Sensing sand in his mouth, Webb quickly spat on it. This is indeed sand. What was brought by the strange wind was really hot sand that would not have been possible.
"Saber, and Archer, the final question of the feast—is the king alone?"
Rider, who was 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.
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 ...... Be with all the peoples"
Rider laughed. As if in response to the laughter, the whirlwind grew stronger.
"Yes, is this a decent answer! Today I will show you what the real king is!"
An unidentified hot wind eroded the present world, and then, subverted.
In the strange phenomenon that appeared in the night, distance and location had lost their meaning. The dry wind with hot sand changed everything it went.
"How, how can this be ......?"
Webb and Alice Fell exclaimed...... This is a phenomenon that only people who know magic can understand.
"It's actually - the 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 that possible...... can actually embody the scene in my heart...... You're not a magician!?"
"Of course not, how can I do it alone. ”
Iskander, standing in the midst of the wide barrier, smiled proudly and denied.
"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 the Assassins, were moved to one side, with Rider standing in the center, and Saber, Archer, and two magicians on the other side. In other words, Rider stood alone in front of the Assassins.
――Do you mean that you should fight alone?
All stared at the mirage-like images that appeared around him. One, two, four, the images gradually increased, and it looked like an army. The color also became more and more intense.
"The world can be reproduced because it is imprinted on the hearts of each of us. ”
In the stunned eyes of everyone, materialized cavalry appeared around Iskandar one after another. Although they are of different races and equipment, their strong bodies and brave knights all show the strength of the army.
Only one person figured out what was going on in this strange scene.
"These people...... It's all servant ......."
Since he was the only one present who was the master, he understood that the true trump card of the Servant Immortal Iskandar, the true body of the ultimate treasure, was appearing in front of his eyes.
"Behold, my peerless army!"
Full of pride and pride, the King of Conquest stood in front of the cavalry ranks, raising his arms and shouting.
"Even though the body is destroyed, their heroic spirits are still called, and they are the legendary warriors of my righteousness. Travel through time to answer my call to eternal friends.
They are my supreme treasures! They are my king's way! The strongest treasure in Iskan - 'The King's Army'!!"
EX-rank anti-military Noble Phantasm, a continuous summon of an independent servant.
There are the gods of war, the kings of Maharaja, and the founders of dynasties. Gathered in front of you are unique heroic spirits that have only been heard of in legends.
All of them had great fame - they were warriors who fought alongside the great Iskander.
A horse without a rider gallops towards the rider. It was a sturdy, huge horse. If it were human, its majesty would not be inferior to that of other Heroic Spirits.
"Long time no see, partner. ”
Rider smiled childishly and hugged the horse's neck. Obviously, "she" is what will later be known as the legendary famous horse Besephalus. Following the King of Conquest, even the horse became a heroic spirit.
No one could make a sound but marvel. Even Archer, who also possessed an EX-class super treasure, never sneered after seeing such a radiant army.
Bet on the dream of the king and gallop with the king on the battlefield.
Loyalty that never ends until death, the King of Conquest turned this into an exceptional treasure.
Saber laughed too, and raised the golden sword in his hand—
It is not the sword of victory of the oath, it is the sword of the chosen king, the sword of gold!
"I am the Knight King, the Commander of the Knights of the Round Table!"
The red sunset stained half of the desert red, and the knights walked out step by step.
"My king—your knight Bedwell reports to you—"
"My king—your knight Gawain reports to you—"
"My King—......"
One hundred and forty-eight knights, from behind Saber, came out—
"My king...... Your knight...... Mordred reports to you!" The knight with the helmet walked towards Saber.
"I'm sorry, my boy......" Saber hugged the knight gently, "I hope you can fight alongside me!"
"I will live up to the king's expectations!" exclaimed Mordred.
"Lancelot, still won't you forgive me......" Saber couldn't help but sigh when she didn't see her once strongest right-hand man, but she still raised the golden sword of victory-
"The king - to live more truthfully than anyone - to be admired by all!"
The rider who was straddling the back of Besephalus shouted. The Heroic Spirits shouted in unison with the sound of their shields clattering.
"The one who gathers the faith of all the brave and sets it as the goal of the expedition is the king. So—"
"The king is not alone. Because his will is the desire of all his subjects!"
"Exactly! exactly!"
The heroic spirits shouted loudly and soared through the sky. No matter what kind of enemy or bulwark, as long as it is in front of the conqueror king and his friends, it seems that there is no threat. That high fighting spirit can cross the earth and cut off the ocean.
Saber exalted and shouted, "Humility, Integrity, Mercy, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Soul!"
At the moment of the strong enemy, he is not afraid, he is bold and loyal, he is worthy of God, he is loyal and upright, he would rather die than give in, and he protects the weak, which is not against the principles of heaven!
I swear to be kind to the weak
I swear to stand up to rape bravely
I swear to fight all mistakes
I swear to fight for the unarmed
I swear to help anyone who comes to me for help
I swear not to hurt any woman
I swear to help my brother knights
I swear to be sincere with my friends
I swear that I will die for what I love!"
All the Knights of the Round Table cried out: "Modesty, Integrity, Mercy, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Soul!"
At the moment of the strong enemy, he is not afraid, he is bold and loyal, he is worthy of God, he is loyal and upright, he would rather die than give in, and he protects the weak, which is not against the principles of heaven!
I swear to be kind to the weak
I swear to stand up to rape bravely
I swear to fight all mistakes
I swear to fight for the unarmed
I swear to help anyone who comes to me for help
I swear not to hurt any woman
I swear to help my brother knights
I swear to be sincere with my friends
I swear that I will die for what I love!"
Although there are only more than 100 people, their momentum is not worse than that of the rider's 10,000-strong army, but there is a faint momentum of overpowering.
"Worthy of the Saber and Rider army. Luo Fengyun and Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help but sigh.
"By the way, Sister Lily, the assassin left me ...... Not...... Six will do. Luo Fengyun smiled and said.
"Seven, give me one more, I'll use it when I give Alice Phil a heart transplant!" Xuanyuan Hao also shouted.
"Of course!" Saber laughed confidently and waved the Caliburn in his hand, "Knight of the Round Table, charge!"
Therefore, the assassins are nothing more than clouds in front of them.
"Alright, let's get started. ”
Rider's smiling eyes were full of hideousness and cruelty. In the face of those who ignored the king's words and rejected the king's wine, he didn't want to show any more mercy.
"As you can see, the battlefield of my embodiment is the plains. I'm sorry, but if I want to win more, I still have an advantage. ”
Forget the Holy Grail at this moment, forget the mission of victory and the spell. They have lost themselves.
Some fled, some screamed at themselves, and some stood there in a daze—the skeletal masks were really just a rabble.
"Ravage!"
Rider ordered without hesitation. And then - "aaaalalalalalaie!!"
He was greeted with a loud roar. The invincible army that once swept through Asia shook the battlefield again at this moment.
This can no longer be considered a fight, it is more appropriate to say that it is a sweep.
Even if you use a grinding disc to grind mustard grains, the reaction is still a little bigger than now.
Wherever the "King's Army" went, there was no trace of an assassin to be seen, leaving only a slight trace of blood and dust in the air.
"Uh-oh!!"
Cheers of victory rang out. Offering victory to the king and praising the king's prestige, the heroic spirits who had completed their mission returned to their spirit state and disappeared into the distance.
Then, the barrier that had been maintained by their combined magic was lifted, everything shattered like foam, and the scenery changed back to the original night, and the few people stood in the atrium of Einzberen Castle again.
The white moonlight revealed the silence, and there was not a trace of dust in the air.
Six servants and two magicians sat back in their original positions and toasted again. The Assassins were gone, and only the remains of the handle severed by the dagger and seven Assassins lying on the ground confirmed what had just happened.
"--What a disappointment. ”
Rider muttered nonchalantly, draining the rest of the wine from his glass. Saber didn't answer, and Archer scoffed with a somewhat disgruntled expression.
"Indeed, no matter how weak the bastard, it would take a lot of effort to come up together to be even a king-rider, you're really an eyesore. ”
"First of all, I'll have to compete with you no matter what. ”
Rider stood up with a smile unconcernedly.
"Rider, sooner or later, we'll fight, I'm waiting for you. Saber smiled.
"I'm waiting for you, King Arthur!"
He drew Alexander's sword and swung it in the air, only to see a flash of thunder, and a sacred ox chariot appeared with a roar. Although it is not as powerful as the "King's Army", it is enough to attract people's attention.
"Hurry up, little ghost, go up. ”
“……”
"Hey, little ghost?"
"Ahh......h
Ever since seeing the Assassin easily defeated, Webb's heart had been clouded with a strange shadow. After all, it was the first time I had seen such an unreasonable treasure, and it was normal to have this kind of reaction. Besides, it was the strength of his own servant, and he had seen it for the first time today.
After Webber staggered into the chariot, Iskandar gave Saber one last look, "King Arthur, stick to your ideas!"
"Ha, Saber, you're the most interesting. Archer laughed and drank the wine from his glass, "Go back, Tianyun." ”
"See you next time, Fengyun, and Mr. Xuanyuan. Xue Tianyun squinted and smiled, and disappeared into the golden light with Archer.
