The battle between Artoria and Lancer continues, but it can be seen that the two of them are fighting more cautiously, and everything is about self-preservation. As for killing the enemy, now that he has given up after figuring out the opponent's ability, it is very difficult to destroy the opponent without being injured without liberating the treasure, not to mention, the magic and energy consumed cannot be recovered by simple practice.

"Patsy, are you there?" Maya uses the Spell to contact Pache at the Magic Workshop. Caster also has the ability to use a crystal ball to observe other people from a distance, and Patchouli is now in the magic workshop to observe the situation in the vicinity through the crystal ball.

"Well, I'll keep watching." Pache Li's soft voice came to mind.

"How many Servants are there now?"

"According to your description, Rider was found on the East Wood Bridge, and as for the Assassin on that crane, you saw it too. Archer and Berserker can't be found for the time being, possibly spiritualized. Wait, Rider set off on the oxcart and moved towards you. ”

Oxcart? It's Kamui Wheels, right? Although it is indeed an ox cart.

"By the way, did you find anything unusual?"

"Not yet."

"Okay, I'm going to trouble you to keep observing. After all, there's nothing wrong with being cautious. ”

"No problem, Mu Q~".

"Huh?" As soon as Pache finished chatting, Mahaha noticed something unusual, and his innate instinct was telling him that someone was targeting him.

[Cut, Emiya Kiritsu, did you really target the Master? But now that I know of your existence, will I be defenseless? Except for the fact that the origin bomb is a bit threatening, the others are not worth mentioning. Maha didn't turn his head, and his intuition told him that Emiya Kiritsugu should be in the rear right direction, where the attack intent came from the most. [Strange, Nero is right next to me, is he sure to cross the Servant and attack me?] 】

"Ping!" Another roar of guns and swords, a crisp sound resounded through the night sky.

After two battles, the ground of Warehouse Street was already full of holes, and even the containers on both sides were damaged, and a lot of treasures were damaged. Looks like the church is going to have a headache about wrapping up again.

Artoria and Lancer each retreated and confronted each other after a powerful slash.

"Although this kind of battle without exchanging names is not an honor, you are very worthy of my appreciation, you have gone through two battles, and you have not left a drop of sweat in the fierce battle, which makes people believe that you are a woman." Lancer was brandishing his spear to guard Saber, but his tone was lighthearted.

"There is no need to be so modest, Lancer, although I don't know your name, it is my honor to be admired by you who are so skilled in spearmanship, and I am very grateful." Artoria also raised the invisible sword in her hand to guard Lancer, a happy smile on her face.

Although it was the first time for the two of them to meet, they both had a lot of respect for the opponent in front of them - was it the resonance of chivalry?

"In this case, we can't tell the winner. With a Servant peeping nearby, even if you do your best to cut you down, it's just cheaper for the other Servants. Lancer smiled helplessly.

"Well, that's a desperate move. But now it's the first game, and we still have a chance to fight it out. Artoria was also born with approval.

Lancer was silent for a moment, looking at his expression, he should have asked the Master, he was a follower of the knighthood, and when his Master was present, he did not take matters into his own hands and took the initiative to ask for instructions.

"So, how about we end this fight?" Lancer spoke, apparently with the Master's approval.

"Yes." Artoria has a good impression of this opponent, a true knight who acts according to chivalry.

Just as the two were about to put away their swords, a change suddenly appeared.

Rumble!! The thunderous sound pierced the sky, and a flying object crossed a straight line in the sky, heading straight for this side, and also sprinkled purple lightning sparks in the night sky, and the sound just now must have been undoubtedly from it.

The Master and Servant in the presence looked back at the southeast sky almost simultaneously. The source of the sound is clear at a glance.

Judging by its appearance, it was an antique chariot with two noses. It is not a war horse that is tied to the wheels. It's a burly and toned bull with muscles rolling like waves. Ox hooves tread the void and pull the luxurious and magnificent chariot.

No, the chariot is not just simply floating in the air. The wheels of the chariot roared, and the bull's hooves trampled not on the earth but on lightning.

Every time the hooves and chariots kicked the empty sky, purple lightning flashed its cobweb-shaped tentacles, curling the atmosphere upwards with a deafening sound. The magic of lightning is probably comparable to ordinary engineering magic, and this is only the aftermath.

Only Servant's Noble Phantasm could be so weird and unleash such a huge amount of magic.

The chariot with thunder and lightning on its feet circled over them menacingly, reducing its speed and falling to the ground. It happened to be cleared by the duel between two Heroic Spirits. At the same time as he landed on the ground, he put away the dazzling thunder, revealing the figure of a giant man, standing majestically on the bridge of the chariot.

"Everyone, stop it! In the presence of this king!! ”

Needless to say, Lancer and Saber are both well-known Heroic Spirits. It's not something that can be scared by just two roars. However, this new Heroic Spirit did not come out to attack them, but only to disrupt their duel, so he fired sideways.

Nero, who was standing next to Maha, frowned, and the other party's commanding tone made her feel uncomfortable.

After seeing that no one on the field spoke, the burly giant continued, "My name is Iskandar, the King of Conquest, who participated in this Holy Grail War and obtained the position of Rider. ”

Ha? Everyone present was really dumbfounded at this point. On the battlefield of the Holy Grail, there is no way for a Servant to report himself, and his real name is the key to strategy. If his real name is known, it will be possible to analyze his treasures in his lore, as well as find weaknesses.

Zhenyu has long known this part of the road, although the effect of the live version is better, but I am not too surprised, and besides, is this statement of the king of conquest really a bloody and brainless act? Not necessarily, as a king, no one is stupid, right?

At this time, Weber, who was sitting on the emperor's chariot, was about to collapse, and he thought that it was a very lucky thing to summon the legendary conqueror Alexander the Great, but it turned out that there was a gap between the legend and reality, and Weber never dreamed that he had summoned a hot-blooded fool, could it be that he relied on his muscles to conquer the world.

The Emperor ignored Weber's questioning, and continued to ask, "You fought each other for the Holy Grail...... I have one thing to ask you before you go to work. I don't know what each of you expects from the Holy Grail. But think about it now. Do your desires carry more weight than your aspirations that include heaven and earth? ”

"Y-what are you trying to say?" Artoria asked, puzzled. This is also the confusion of other people, and most people feel confused when they suddenly ask such a question.

"Huh? I'm very clear. Rider's tone softened a lot, "I'm on the battlefield, do you have any plans to give me the Holy Grail?" If you give me the Holy Grail, I will see you as friends and share with you the joy of conquering the world. ”

“……”

For a while, it was cold again. The Emperor's cold field skills are really strong, and from the time he appeared to the present, the atmosphere has been silent twice.

This is an overly nonsensical proposition. Saber didn't even get angry and froze, and Lancer, who was across from him, didn't know what to say. Nero scoffed.

"What a boring statement, to ask Yu to give the Holy Grail to you? What an unforgivable guy! I am the king of Rome, the king of the world, the emperor of the world, and the emperor of the world. Nero was the first to speak. For her, in her emperor's circle, no one dared to criticize her approach.

For Nero to reveal his identity, but Zhenyu didn't stop it, and he didn't say anything, he also had a general understanding of Nero's character, and he couldn't bear it at all in this situation.

"Oh? You're the tyrant of the Roman Empire? I didn't expect it to be a woman. The King of Conquest said with interest. The others looked at Artoria curiously, and then at Artoria. The two people are so similar, I don't know what Lu Dao has to do with it.

"Hmph, under my absolute emperor's circle, I am a man or a woman, who dares to disagree?" Nero said dismissively.

"Sure enough, it's a domineering word. It is worthy of the absolute emperor circle. ”

Then, Lancer spoke, with a wry smile, but his sword-like eyes collided head-on with the Conquest King's disdainful eyes, and sparks flew everywhere, "I admire the courage of your self-report just now, but I can't agree to your proposal. It is for me to take up the Holy Grail, the vow I have made to the only new monarch in this world. It's definitely not you who holds the Holy Grail, Rider. ”

“…… Are you trying to state those jokes that are hindering my duel with the knights? ”

Artoria asked, following Lancer's words. The expression on her face was different from that of the beautiful Lancer, not even a smile. To the serious, Rider's proposal itself was extremely unpleasant, "King of Conquest, your joke has gone too far. This was an intolerable insult to the knights. ”

“…… Are you going to negotiate terms with me? ”

"Less nonsense!"

Feeling as if Rider was about to utter flattering words, Lancer and Saber Artoria both declined in unison. Artoria continued with a look of disappointment.

"Say it again...... I am also the ruler of a kingdom in the Kingdom of Britain. No matter what kind of king you are, you can't bow down to others. ”

"Oh? The King of Britain? ”

Rider, perhaps intrigued by Saber's manifesto, raised an eyebrow, "This surprises me. The world-famous knight king turned out to be a little girl. ”

"—then try to eat the sword of this little girl in your mouth. King of Conquest"

Saber raised his sword as he lowered his voice.

Rider frowned and let out a long sigh, "Then our negotiations will break up, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Rider muttered face down for a moment when he noticed the resentful look in his eyes looking up from his feet.

"Ahh......h Isn't it disgusting to say what to conquer in the end...... Do you really think you can beat three Servants? ”

The burly Servant didn't show any guilt in the face of Master's question, but laughed loudly.

"No, isn't there such a saying, 'It's better to talk about it'."

"'Talk about it' isn't your real name, is it?!"

Webb was dizzy with anger. With two fists that were powerless, he struck Rider's chest armor as he stood upright, crying out.

See this sad scene. Alice Phil was neither despissing nor sympathetic, but felt that she could no longer be silent.

The tense air strangely relaxed—
