Chapter 229: Holy Grail Saber
As the first emperor who once unified the vast territory of Shenzhou, Ying Xiaotu naturally understands this truth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although she preferred to use the ancestral dragon to kill enemies on the battlefield during her lifetime, it was the male body of her brother Yingzheng after all, and the repulsion of soul and body also made it difficult for her to control it freely. So most of the time, she could only "watch" her brother plan various schemes, and over time, she naturally "couldn't make poetry and could chant".
And in this Holy Grail War, there are a full thirty-two Heroic Spirits participating in the battle, and there are too many possible variables in this, if someone relies on their outstanding strength to force their head without calculation, the end will definitely be miserable. Even if he was as strong as the overlord Xiang Yu and had the Holy Grail prefix to provide a strong guarantee, he did not choose to fight alone, but took the initiative to reveal his identity at the beginning when the situation was still unclear, and even showed part of his strength as a support, forcing others to choose to take sides. This may seem reckless, but when used at the beginning of the game, it seems to stir up a pool of muddy water, and although it will make the pool look extremely muddy, the rotation of the water will make parts of the pool appear clear for a moment, and the situation that is already foggy will appear to be partially clear for an instant. If he is lucky, he can even really gain a group of reliable allies, even if he is unlucky, with his amazing strength, he has a great chance of leveling, which is a tactic that is very suitable for Xiang Yu.
And to a certain extent, Ying Xiaotu and Xiang Yu are very similar, they both have full self-confidence, although the preemptive tactics have been used, but it is not without other methods. Advancing and retreating, defending and attacking, this is exactly what the Holy Grail Saber Xiaotu wants to do. That's right, her true prefix is indeed the "Holy Grail" that allows the central axis to provide magic to the holder.
"Holy Grail", "Scepter", "Sword", and "Star Coins" are symbols in Western occultism, corresponding to the four major elements that make up the world: water, fire, air, and earth. Perhaps by coincidence, or perhaps by some hint, they were chosen as the code names to distinguish the Heroic Spirits of the same rank in this ceremony, and the "Holy Grail" prefix was given a special meaning. However, in a ritual like the Holy Grail War, which focuses on intelligence warfare, exposing the "Holy Grail" prefix too early is not a good thing, but will expose you to the public and become the target of attention, especially the Servant, who is not very powerful, is even more worried about this.
Although Ying Xiaotu didn't have to worry about strength, what she needed to consider more was that there were too many enemies in Great Qin. Not to mention the Warring States heroes who crisscrossed the six countries, even Xiang Yu, who destroyed Great Qin, and Liu Bang, who established a new dynasty, would pose a huge threat to her. And under this restraint relationship, even if she can temporarily suppress one person, the other person is enough to seriously injure her during this time. So she needs to avoid becoming a common target for others, and secretly seek out the Servants who restrain herself and are restrained by herself, in order to devise tactics.
So she chose a tactic that was risky, but if she succeeded, she could clear the obstacles of her rank in one fell swoop and safely keep her Holy Grail prefix. First of all, he shows great strength and uses the Noble Phantasm unscrupulously in the form of supporting the Holy Grail Lancer, and makes himself appear to be the Holy Grail Saber. Later, at some critical moments, he deliberately made a move of insufficient magic power or saving magic consumption, so that people with a heart could perceive his "strong outside" and then suspect that he was "untruthful". The last step is to bite "I am the Holy Grail Saber" and not let go, and make a "dead duck with a hard mouth" gesture before he is recognized by other Servants as not the Holy Grail Saber.
If anyone really thinks she's just bluffing, it's a nice surprise, but her real goal is to get the other Sabers to keep themselves out of the "Holy Grail" prefix holders. If you keep your identity in the Holy Grail Saber hidden, one day you will be suspected and discovered. Under the effect of this tactic, he will be the first to be completely cleared of suspicion, and then as long as he sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, the other Saber will take the initiative to suspect each other, and even start a fierce and cruel "infighting", until finally he comes out to pick peaches.
Whenever he thought of this plan, Ying Xiaotu sighed, is he becoming more and more like that white-faced brother?
But now it seems that there is a little trouble, and the sword Saber Lancelot has joined the battlefield on her side. After all, she now has to continue to disguise herself as a Heroic Spirit who doesn't have the Holy Grail prefix, so she can't really play to her full strength, otherwise she will be seen through. And Lancelot's state is undoubtedly much better than Percival and Guan Gong, and if he wants to leave without revealing his identity, he will underestimate this chief knight of the Knights of the Round Table.
While he was struggling, a figure galloped from a distance, and the huge mount under him was conspicuous even in the dark night, it was the milky white five-colored sacred cow. Although it was stained with blood droplets, it was still nothing compared to the blood stains on Huang Feihu's body. Although I don't know why it's so miserable, looking at his posture, he has just experienced a vicious battle. The direction of coming is exactly the other side of the mountain, that is, the direction outside the hot spring pass, on the same side as Xiang Yu.
Others didn't understand the situation, but Ying Xiaotu was in his heart. Just now, the Holy Grail Lancer and this guy who called himself the Holy Grail Rider met in Moro Temple Park to face the "Golden God of War" and Lao Gao and his party, but Xiang Yu was summoned to the current place by the Command Spell halfway, leaving the Holy Grail Rider alone to face the strong enemy. Covered in blood, it is enough to explain the tragedy he experienced later, but how did this seemingly cautious guy escape from the hands of a wolf-like enemy? You must know that Lao Gao is also coveting Lancer with the Holy Grail Prefix, and it is reasonable if he lets the Holy Grail Rider survive in exchange for the other party to help him win the Holy Grail Prefix.
In fact, Ying Xiaotu is also very contradictory, after all, Xiang Yu is the hero who destroyed Daqin, and she has great restraint on her, she wishes that Xiang Yu would be eliminated as soon as possible. But now she needs Xiang Yu to attract the firepower and hatred of others, and prepare herself to leave the battlefield at any time. She opened her mouth to warn, but saw that the Holy Grail Rider riding the sacred cow had already rushed up the hill and rushed towards the towering hot spring pass.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between Huang Feihu and Xiang Yu was less than 100 meters away.
