Chapter 15: Saber VSLancer (2)

Fifteen kilometers southeast of the shopping street where the fighting is taking place.

In the basement of Fuyuki Church, shrouded in the silence of the night, someone sat in the dark.

This person closed his eyes, he was not resting, but listening to something in the silence, he was Yan Fengqili in black monk's robes.

Looking at his side face, others may think that he is meditating on something, but who would have thought that he is listening to the whispering of the sea breeze, and what appears in front of him is a battle scene with sparks flying in front of him.

What he saw and heard was an unknown battle of the Servant in the distance in a shopping street...... Its content is exactly the same as what the Assassin as his servant sees.

What he is using now is the result of a practice he had taught three years ago, Tosaka Tokitomi, the ability called synsceptibility, which allows him to share the perceptual organs with the contractor as long as he is connected by magic.

In the Holy Grail War, using Servants for long-range surveillance is a very important job, and if your own Servant is still an Assassin who specializes in detectives, it is simply like a tiger.

The only difficulty was that if the contractor did not agree, then this ability could not be used, and Shi Chen, who taught this magic at the time, was denied the ability by Archer at that time, and if it was put on the arrogant hero king, no matter how much the Master asked for it, he would not allow anyone to use this ability against him.

Therefore, the only ones who can do this kind of thing are Qili and Assassin.

“…… There seems to be a situation in Warehouse Street near the mouth of the people of Weiyuanchuan, and it seems that the initial battle has begun. Qili said this, and there was no one in front of him, only an old gramophone on the table.

The brass horn was tilted towards Qili, but the gramophone, which looked like an antique, responded to him in human language.

"It's not the beginning, it should be called the 'second battle', Qili." (The battle that Naraku provoked was hindered by the barrier he had opened, and no one knew about it.) ）

Although the sound quality is a little distorted, just listening to this free and easy tone, you can completely conclude that the person who spoke is Tosaka Tokitomi.

If you look closely at this antique, you will see that there is no disc or stylus for the record underneath the large horn, but a metal wire attached to a large gem.

This device was lent to Qili by Shi Chen, the ancestral magic guide of the Tosaka family, and there is still a same magic guide in the workshop of the Tosaka family, it seems that now, Shi Chen is also sitting in front of this horn, and the gems of the two devices can transmit the vibration of the air in the horn to each other through resonance.

It is equivalent to the "communication device" that Tosaka used to magic with gemstones.

When the Fuyuki Church began to be under the jurisdiction of Father Shinmine Rimasa, Tokitomi sent a jewel telegraph into the church, and Fr. Rimasa served as Shichen's secret assistant, while his son Kiri Hinomine was sent to the church as the initial loser at the beginning of the Holy Grail War to be protected.

Shi Chen's purpose is naturally to be able to get in touch with these two people secretly.

From the outside, everything seemed normal, and no one could have imagined that Qili would have a way to get in touch with the outside world, and at the time, Qili felt that even if she didn't use this strange thing, she could use the radio.

However, the difference between Tosaka's jewel communication machine and radio is that there is no need to worry about the conversation being eavesdropped, and if you think about it, Shi Chen's cautious style actually benefits him a lot.

Either way, it's now Assassin and Archer who have become the eyes and ears of Shichen, and Assassin sees what Assassin sees with her own eyes, and uses her perspective as a Master to see all the subtleties.

"It seems to be the battle between Saber and Lancer, Saber's ability value is very high, most of them are equivalent to A-rank."

“…… I see, it's worthy of the strongest rank, by the way, can you see her master? ”

"There was only one other person to see...... It was a silver-haired woman standing behind Saber. ”

"Hmm...... It seems that Lancer's Master still knows how to hide himself, and he should not be a novice who knows how to abide by the laws of this Holy Grail War...... Wait, you say Saber's Master is a silver-haired woman? ”

"Yes, it's a young Caucasian girl, silver-haired and red-eyed, and she doesn't always feel like a human."

The other side of the brass horn seems to be thinking in silence.

“…… Is Einzberen's android? Could it be that they are making humanoid masters again...... Although it is not impossible ......"

"That said, is this woman the Master of Einzberen?"

"It turns out that Yubusa Kuhayid has prepared more than just Emiya Kiritsugu...... I didn't expect it wrong. ”

For the first time, a strange commotion swelled up in Qili's chest, and after a while, he finally realized that this was actually the so-called feeling of disappointment.

"In short, that woman is the key to this battle, Qili, you must watch carefully."

“…… Understood, then I will send someone to follow her all the time. ”

After receiving such an order, Qili continued to annotate the battle between the two.

But whether it was the sparkling blades or the torrent of magic that burst out, it was far less vivid than what she had just seen in Qili's eyes.

Kiritsugu quietly set up Washer among the mountains of containers in the container yard between the quay walls, and he watched the battle through the night through his electronic scope.

Start with a thermal sensor...... I saw that on the screen of cold black and blue, there was an effect composed of red and orange, showing that the heat map of the two people became integrated, as if a large round of flowers were blooming.

In the distance, two smaller figures are visible, one of them standing in the middle of the road witnessing the battle, while the other, on top of a warehouse a little farther away, leans over and hides.

As for which is the sniper target, this is easy to judge.

In order to confirm, Kiritsugu turned to the light amplification scope and continued to peep, and in front of him was a pale green abyssal with colored phosphorescence, but it was more vivid than what he had just seen.

Standing on the road was Alice Phil, as if to say, as a good partner of Saber, she should not hide, but should come out to fight in a dignified manner, and the one on the roof should be the enemy's master...... It's the owner of the dual-gun Lancer who was fighting Saber.

Kiritsugu smiled with satisfaction in the dark, as expected, Lancer's Master must have used illusions or hidden aura magic, but this would not work in front of the machine, and he, like all the magicians who died at Kiritsugu's hands, was about to repeat their mistakes.

Kiritsugu uses the communicator to call Maiya, who is standing on the other side of the battlefield.

"Maiya, northeast of Saber, Lancer's Master is hiding on top of the warehouse there, can you see it?"

“…… No, I see a dead end here. ”

If possible, Kiritsugu wanted to use cross-shaped firepower with Maiya to ensure the accuracy of the attack, but unfortunately, only Kiritsugu was able to shoot now, but this was no problem, only a distance of less than 300 meters, and with Kiritsugu's ability, he could kill him with just one bullet.

As long as the Sniper is not detected, no magician can defend against 300 Winchester Magnum rounds.

Picking up the bracket of the gun, Kiritsugu was just about to enter the gathering state, when suddenly he was stunned and turned Wasser's gun to the crane.

For a moment, he felt that all his plans had been disrupted, and he called Maiya again through the communicator in a somewhat panicked manner.

"Maiya, look at the crane ......"

“…… Yes, I've confirmed it here, as you can see. ”

The figure that Kiritsugu saw with the dark-sight scope, it seems that Maiya also captured it in the scope of the AUG assault rifle.

Then, a third person who was watching the battle between Saber and Lancer had now spotted the figure on the crane as well.

This is really an unexpected situation, in the Holy Grail War, it is better to watch from the sidelines than to actively fight, a smart master, even if he sees other servants in the battle, will never intervene, but will choose to continue to watch the battle, and it is not impossible to take advantage of the fisherman after the battle.

Even if you don't have that much luck, at least you can find out what the enemy is doing.

As the first to arrive at the battlefield, Kiritsugu never thought that there was only their team of watchers in this battle, so he gave up using the crane as a monitoring point, and chose a monitoring point that could take into account both the battlefield and the crane, it seems that the other party did not know that his location was being monitored, so he occupied the best observation point to watch the battle, and as a result, he was exposed to Kiritsugu's sight.

However, that's not what Kiritsugu was worried about.

Kiritsugu looked at the pale green portrait from the scope again, a watcher he had never seen before...... He was wearing a black robe, and the skull mask on his face made him unexpectedly realize that this was the Assassin who "died" in the Tosaka Mansion last night.

Kiritsugu didn't want to think about why the Assassin, who was supposed to be gone, had reappeared, and the problem now was that the one standing on the crane was the Servant.

If Kiritsugu directly sniped Lancer's Master just now, then the opponent would definitely die now, but at the same time, the position of the gun was exposed, although the Assassin's combat ability may not be very good, but he is a Servant after all, and it is impossible for him to defeat the opponent as a magician.

It was impossible to expect Saber to come to help, and now compared to the distance between Saber and himself, he was closer to the Assassin, and Saber didn't know that Kiritsugu was here, and he couldn't expect her to come to his aid immediately.

And Saber is now in a fierce battle with Lancer, although the Servant will lose the mana supply after killing the Master, but the power of the Servant alone can still maintain the present state for a short time, so defeating the Master is not the same as defeating Lancer.

There's only one way left - the spell.

The command of the Master's command spell does not stay within the scope of the Servant, as long as it does not resist the Master, the Servant can even act according to the Master's orders, in short, it is not difficult for Saber to move here immediately, and it is not difficult to resist the Assassin's attack for Kiritsu.

This is how Lancer was rescued by Ziggy's Master in the first place.

But in this case, it is equivalent to throwing the unsuspecting Alice Phil directly in front of Lancer's eyes.

Gathering all the elements, Kiritsugu kept thinking about it, and finally came to the conclusion that although this was the perfect opportunity to take out Lancer's Master, he could only see the opportunity slip away tonight.

Now that this decision has been made, there is nothing else to hesitate about.

"Maiya, you continue to spy on Assassin, and I watch Lancer."

"Understood."

Kiritsugu exhaled quietly, put down the mount on the Washer gun, calmed down and continued to look at the scene in the scope.

Now that he had given up the opportunity, Saber's actions tonight were in vain, and if she could not show off the treasure, or if she could escape with Alice Phil immediately, then he would have to thank her, but she was a proud spirit, and he could only think about these thoughts.

However, it is not a good thing to be able to see how capable your subordinates are.

“…… Then it's up to you, lovely Knight King. ”
