Chapter XXVII. The Price of Victory

Using the sword of victory of the oath to scare off the rider, the crisis of the three can be regarded as over.

Lu Bu cooperated with the combination of the Red Rabbit, which was too tricky for a heroic spirit, and if it wasn't for Saber to liberate the treasure in time, I am afraid that he would really not be able to compare to him. This is the power of the Permanent Activated Noble Phantasm, and as a price for not being able to liberate the true name, it has a huge increase in regular combat.

In fact, when Lu Bu was still enslaved by Mina Tosaka, he was able to ride the Red Rabbit on a par with the first-class spear and shield Heroic Spirit, and even if Leonidas's near-death amplification was triggered, he could easily escape.

What's more, Lu Bu is not only a heroic spirit with excellent quality, but his skills as a military general are even more terrifying, the halberd can be shaken at will, with the war horse that has the same heart as him, Ber's intuition tells her that if she doesn't release the treasure and forcibly confront him head-on, I'm afraid that she will start to be unable to support it when she is seventy or eighty moves, and finally be defeated by his speed and strength.

However, Abner only used a magic trick that emitted red light to scare them away, and this witty courage made Artoria impress him.

In her mind, magicians are all like that...... How to say it, although it's more ugly, but the magicians that Artoria knows are indeed people who are ruthless to the limit for victory, and the means are more extreme. Whether it's a heroic spirit as a caster or a magician as a master, the magicians Artoria has seen are cruel creatures.

I thought that Albernar was also one of them, but after actually teaming up with him, he showed that he was different from magicians everywhere. The Empty City Strategy is an extremely risky strategy that ordinary magicians can't use.

"Hoo ......"

Hicks breathed a sigh of relief to Shirou, and a heavy hammer and a thin sword shattered in his hand, leaving Shirou feeling only a lead pain in his arms.

If it was a complete state, it would naturally be a different matter, but since coming to Shallow Creek, Shirou first chased and killed the assassin, then fought with Abner for a while, and then went to the city after the disaster to help civilians escape, and then rescued Abner, a series of consumption, for an old man over half a hundred years old, it is too harsh. He really needs a good rest.

Ebner's situation is not much better, in the battle with Surut, he forcibly summoned the Heroic Spirit too chaotically, and the overloaded magic power directly burned his magic mark, although it will not [collapse], but every time the magic circuit is opened, it will worsen the injury of his body, and he is highly burned, even if he is cured by magic, he needs a little time to recuperate, not to mention useless.

It's an endless cycle, if Ebner heals himself with magic, he will get hurt because of using magic, and if he doesn't use magic, he will naturally have to recuperate. At this point, Shirou still hadn't mastered the healing magic technique, which surprised him even more, and he thought that the man that the witch Rin Tosaka admired was a magician, but he didn't expect it to be such a person who didn't know anything about the devil.

In the battle just now, Albert felt his skin crack again under his bandage. Sticky and especially disgusting.

"Is this a win?"

Shirou said this, with a helpless smile on his face. He didn't believe it himself, how could this state of affairs be called a victory?

"Of course, if you repel the enemy's ambush and master the enemy's power, then you will definitely win. ”

Artoria confirmed Shirou's statement, and the definition of victory depended on the situation. Sometimes strategy is like this, it is not the actual defeat of the enemy that counts as victory, and sometimes obtaining information, understanding the enemy's strength, or even deliberately defeating and luring the enemy is considered victory.

Now at least the enemy and rider have been figured out, and the enemy strength has been determined, as well as a special corpse golem. Listening to Abner's previous introduction, I'm afraid that Aya Makiri has already terminated the contract with the Assassin, so it can be basically confirmed that the Assassin has left the battlefield.

For Shirou, the Assassin is the most difficult thing to do. It's not that he is strong in assassination, but that when he doesn't assassinate, it is difficult to be discovered, but if he tracks, locates, and monitors from a distance, he is really invincible in the world when he cooperates with Lu Bu to fight harassment.

Saber doesn't need a break, but Shirou and Abner do. What's more, one of these two people is an elderly person with limited physical strength, and the other is a sick person who needs to recuperate.

"Master, I don't know, do you still have a place to cultivate? I think it's necessary for us to regroup and organize the information. ”

After all, Saber has just appeared, and the Holy Grail only gives the Heroic Spirits [Basic Common Sense], to be honest, now Saber even knows a little about how many Heroic Spirits she has eliminated in this Holy Grail War, and she urgently needs a complete exchange of information, and she was interrupted by Lu Bu suddenly rushing over before.

"Sorry...... Saber, can you help?"

Abner smiled wryly and opened his arms to Saber, an action that suddenly gave Saber a not-so-good feeling.

"Master...... Do you say you ......?"

"That's it. ”

Abner shook his head with a wry smile, clasped his knuckles with his left hand, and tapped his leg.

Knock knock.

It was a very hard sound.

Saber's bad premonition intensified, and she said a word of rudeness, raised her hand, and sliced through EBNER's pants with precision.

Beneath the black trousers, sliced by the invisible blade, was a miserable blue skin.

Just by looking at it, you can understand the feeling of extremely low temperature.

It should be said that his legs have been completely frozen to death, and the entire musculature is frozen.

In this world, there is no secret weapon without side effects.

The dragon vein is part of the operation of the planet, and Surut, as a demon god, has the power to influence it, and Abner is just a human being, and forcibly absorbing the power of the dragon vein will definitely not be without side effects.

Sure enough, the power of the overly turbulent dragon veins, combined with the ice magic used by Abner, the cold air directly froze his legs to death.

I'm afraid that even magic can't treat an injury of this magnitude.

Legend has it that the best puppeteers can mount the dolls' prosthetic limbs on humans, and if it were the Winifred family's financial resources, it would not be difficult to get him back on his feet.

Rao was so, and Saber was still shocked by his realization. You know, when he was performing magic, the cold air of the dragon veins under his feet was gradually crushing the muscles of his legs, and he endured such pain, forcibly turned the forest into his own workshop, and used magic to suppress Aya Makiri.

This tenacious will......

"Allow me, Master, to pay your respects. ”

Saber gently gave him a knightly salute. When he was first summoned, he had doubted that such a weak magician would be the kind of person who would be undetermined...... But I didn't expect it......

"It's all right, Saber, but please move with me. With your A-level strength, it should be fine, right?"

Saber nodded silently, the strength of the Heroic Spirit's A-rank, for ordinary people, is definitely a level that can move people at will, carefully pull Abner's whole person out of the dirt, Saber felt the cold touch feedback on his arm, and sighed in his heart.

(No problem.) This time, there will be no problem either. Excellent Master, Righteous Shirou, and my sword, this Holy Grail War will not be a problem. οΌ‰

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the other side, in a completely different mood from Saber, the Riders are fleeing the forest with all their might.

Along the way, the atmosphere was awkward.

Hicks is a corpse, a dead man, naturally can't speak. Even if he spoke, it was Aya Maki who asked him to say it, and it didn't make sense.

Then the rest is Rider and Ayaya Makiri......

These two people are not embarrassed, can they?

Lu Bu cannot shirk the responsibility of those who are seriously held accountable.

If he can contact Kiriya in advance, not only two people will come this time, but also a heroic spirit, then she can also prepare in advance, ambush this kind of thing, the most afraid is that the enemy is different from what he expected, although it is rare, but there are also ambushes in the necessary places in history, and in turn the enemy annihilates the ambush This kind of case of stealing chickens and rice.

Lu Bu is a heroic spirit under Jian Tong Aya, this kind of thing should not happen at all.

No matter what kind of organization it is, as long as it is an organization, subordinates should not set strategies beyond the decision-makers, otherwise they will be chaotic. What Lu Bu committed was the biggest taboo.

Concealing Saber's information and not reporting it directly led to the failure of Aya's plan in the middle of the day, and as a result, a spell was put in! This is not only to the extent that stealing chickens and rice is not lost, it is simply a loss to the lady and the soldiers! In Lu Bu's abacus, it should have been his own big advantage to defeat Saber, and then show his face in front of the master!

Once again, it can be seen here that some people just shouldn't be planning, and if everything is only in a good direction, they will soon be beaten by their own naΓ―ve delusions. Lu Bu obviously belongs to this short-sighted optimist, and every time he plans, he always subconsciously starts from the most suitable situation, but does not think about what will happen if he fails.

In the past, there was a Chen Palace planned for him, and he only needed to gallop as a military general. As a result, now that Chen Gong is not there, when Lu Bu tries to plan some conspiracies on his own, his shallow wisdom is not enough.

Moreover, believing too much in one's own bravery is also a shortcoming. Because he couldn't liberate the treasures, he subconsciously ignored the treasures of other heroic spirits. If all the Heroic Spirits do not liberate the Noble Phantasm, it is true that Lu Bu, who is riding the Red Rabbit, will not be inferior when facing any Heroic Spirits. Even if it's like Surut, he can choose to use his speed advantage to run around with him in search of the enemy Master.

However, this treasure has an advantage...... It's just too big. Especially Artoria's Sword of Oath Victory, which is a powerful Noble Phantasm that has caused damage to the Holy Grail, no matter how strong Lu Bu is, it is also a dead word to fight against the Noble Phantasm with flesh and blood.

Lu Bu's abacus was not played well, and the biggest victim was naturally Jian Tong Aya, although she was smiling now, but in fact, her heart was already angry, if she had known that there was a saber, then she would definitely prepare new tactics in advance, at least, now her side does not have the strength to annihilate those three people in one go. What she originally thought was that Lu Bu suppressed Abner, Hicks suppressed Shirou, and then as an extra combat power, she could easily win it by wandering around to support the two!

The result?

Not only did I not take any of them, but I also lost a spell!!

Is!

These servants!

Jian Tong Aya pouted angrily, and Lu Bu didn't know what to say, so he could only ride the horse silently and let it go in an unknown direction.
