My name is Elijah,

I'm here!

Kenneth wasn't very happy with the current situation.

Although he and Iskandar have made an alliance, Rider's self-explanatory combat style must also be adjusted, especially since he doesn't even get the magic he needs to fight from Webb, and his stupid disciple doesn't realize that his demon offering is only enough for Iskandar to keep his physical appearance.

Moreover, after being educated by Sola's ears, he still didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, and he was still stupidly cheering for Rider, what is there to cheer for this kind of disguised competition in order to facilitate cooperation after the two sides have reached a consensus on the issue of command!

Kenneth frowned and glanced at Webb, who was nervously watching Lancer and Rider fight, this guy ...... Could it be that he thinks that Rider was summoned by him, so all the achievements of that Heroic Spirit are due to him? It's really a pretty twisted fledgling plot.

But this is not a bad thing, at least it can prove that he and Rider are quite good, and he can probably play a big role at the right time, if he had summoned this Rider directly, he would probably have to have a hard negotiation with him.

“Automatoportum defensio。” Glancing at Sora, who hadn't noticed himself because he was paying attention to the battle situation, Kenneth whispered an order to the Moon Spirit Liquid.

"[Command invalid]" The Moon Spirit Essence Liquid that remained invisible, no, Luna replied without hesitation, "[Please consult the Queen for new orders.] 】”

Kenneth's voice was quiet, but Luna didn't hide it, and Sora, who was listening to it, glanced at her with a smirk.

“…… Sora," Kenneth had no choice but to consult the Queen, "You see that the battle between Lancer and Rider is coming to an end, and the hidden enemy is about to attack, why don't you let Luna use the auto-defensive form?" ”

"Huh? There are two Lancers? Webber was surprised to finally notice Luna, who was shining silver behind Sora.

"This is Luna, your teacher's magic dress, awakened to self-awareness." Sora explained to Webb, then glared at Kenneth, "What? Do you want a girl to be that round and chubby? ”

"[I refuse]." Luna picked it up very smoothly.

You call yourself a girl in a dress made of mercury, even if you care about being round and fat! Kenneth suddenly wanted to scratch his hair and brush it up.

"And, if she turns out to be like that, the invisibility magic I gave her will be ineffective, and if an enemy in the shadows is watching here, she will be able to spot it immediately." Sora looked around at the dark shipping containers around her, "Most importantly, I'm sure Luna can protect us even in this form." ”

"Of course," Luna bowed slightly, "Whoever wants to hurt you must step over my corpse. 】”

"Wow." Webb, who knew nothing, expressed his admiration.

Sure enough, it would be better for her to find a female Heroic Spirit to attack as soon as possible, even if it was Assassin or Caster...... Kenneth twitched the corners of his lips and turned to look at the battlefield where the smoke was about to clear.

As the last shield guard fell under Lancer's gun, Rider, who had been charging back and forth with the small army, stopped the bullock cart and looked at the two-speared heroic spirit standing proudly in the middle of the driveway.

"Good!" The gigantic King of Conquest clapped his hands and praised, "I thank you so much for teaching my lads a lot of practical skills, and when they return to the army, they will soon be mastered by all." ”

"So, will you throw in the towel or summon another batch?" Dilumudo once again took on a spear posture like an eagle spreading its wings: "No matter how many times, it will be me who wins." ”

"Well, it's going to be the same as it was at the beginning, so let's just tie it."

"Tie? That doesn't determine command. Lancer's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Ahh The killing intent of those hidden guys has overflowed. Rider swung his sword into the darkness around him: "Assassin, if you show up at this time, I will give you the opportunity to die in glory!" ”

There was silence all around, and the faint sound of a soo in a dark corner was the idea that some Assassin had moved to their hiding place after they had been discovered.

"As much as you say, they have the advantage of numbers, and their individual strength is not good, so it is impossible for them to accept the request to go it alone." Lancer put away his twin guns against Rider and watched warily into the darkness around him.

"So, our second round is a group battle to see who can defeat the most Assassins," Rider laughed, "If it weren't for this strange incarnation of many Heroic Spirits, my advantage would not be easy to show." ”

"Why do I think you're trying to provoke them?" Dilumudo narrowed his slender phoenix eyes, and the tear mole at the corner of his eye became obvious: "However, because Assassin does not have magic power, if there are more female avatars, my advantage may be greater than yours." ”

"Who knows?" Rider said noncommittally, "Now it's just a matter of which side makes the first move." ”

Snort –

A dark red trajectory shot from the container in the distance, and one of the container shells next to the two Heroic Spirits exploded after Lancer and Rider looked over, and the container opened a wide opening to reveal a figure inside who seemed to be eavesdropping, but was stunned by the accidental discovery - wearing a black bodysuit and a white skull mask, it was clearly an Assassin.

"Round 2 begins!" With a heroic wave of his hand, a row of three archers appeared behind the chariot, and a round of concentrated fire killed the Assassin in the container without any suspense.

As if stepping on a hornet's nest, dozens of black figures instantly emerged from the shadows around them, rushing towards the two heroic spirits and the masters who were gathered together like countless shadows.

"What a second round! How do you look at this situation, it's time to protect the Master! Lancer picked two Assassins in the way, galloping towards Kenneth Sola and Webb.

"So you're just a warrior, and I'm the 'king,'" Iskandar waved his hand again, and five more archers appeared: "In the name of the king of conquest, shoot those assassins!" ”

The two Assassins who rushed to the Master position the fastest fell in response, as if their strange methods were completely ineffective.

"How? Assassins? If you insist on assassinating the King's Master, be prepared for total annihilation. Rider laughed and waved again, this time with seven archers: "Lancer, protect our Master, maybe this king will miss one or two." ”

With the Masters standing in a relatively empty position with little cover to cover, the Assassins made a few more attempts, but were repulsed by the archers and the Lancer who arrived in time, and instead charged at the Rider.

"Hahaha!" Rider let out a long laugh: "I guess you heard that this king admits that he is not brave enough and decided to use this as a breakthrough?" ”

The approaching Assassins seemed to be wary of Rider's words, but instead sped up, and several of the Assassins who had already pounced on Rider even killed several archers who were standing far away.

"I said that if you showed up, I would give you a chance to die in honor—" Rider ignored the approaching Assassins and raised his thick-bladed dagger in his hand and shouted, "Otherwise! ”

Whew - poof, poof, puff!

As the dust lifted and a series of bubble-like bursting sounds followed, all the Assassins in the vicinity of Rider were pierced head-on by the spears, as a spearman suddenly appeared in their way and waited for them, and there was no time to change direction.

"How's it going, Lancer?" Rider watched the black-clad and white-masked Assassins around him turn into Lingzi and disappear one by one, before turning to Dilumudo, who was guarding the masters: "In the second round, do you admit defeat?" ”

"In this kind of army fighting, I am indeed inferior to others." Lancer also conceded dryly: "So, is there a third round?" ”

"Well...... It seems to be gone. Rider waved his hand and began to disband the spearmen and archers, "I wanted to make it a condition to catch the Master who was watching in secret, but he was already being chased by the Assassin. ”

"Tsk, isn't that the total?" Lancer frowned fiercely.

177：59：23

Emiya Kiritsugu's original plan was to first expose the hidden Assassin with a sniper blast, then have Kuyu Maiya attack Lancer and Rider's Master with a machine gun, and then replace it with Origin Bullets to attack the most flawed one, and finally escape immediately as planned, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, while Saber waits near the exit point to deal with possible tracking.

But the middle two steps were skipped, and when he blasted the container and contacted Maiya to let her do as planned, he heard a response from a strange young man.

"Huh? Do it? I can't do it, because the eldest sister was abducted by me. There seemed to be the sound of a quick run coming from the contact.

“…… Who are you? ”

"My name is Ryunosuke Yusheng, and with your intelligence ability, uncle, you should know my identity." This time there seemed to be the roar of a motorcycle and the sound of something exploding.

The battle was a complete failure, and he lost his assistant, so he couldn't help but be stunned by Kiritsugu's calmness, and then he began to think about countermeasures, since he said that he was taken away, it meant that his life was not in danger, and then he deduced that the other party might interrogate him in order to get information, so there was not much time to save people, but fortunately, the other party should not be able to track him back through the communication device.

"Hey, uncle, although I'm not interested in arresting you, but if you didn't have the cooperation of the eldest sister just now, did you already attract the attention of the Assassins?"

Oops, Kiritsugu immediately cut off the communication and looked around, and while Rider, Lancer, and Assassin were at odds, his instincts told him that more than one Assassin was trying to track him.

Although I don't know why the young man, who was obviously also a disciple of Tosaka Toshitomi, didn't try to speak and drag himself back, the first thing to do now was to flee immediately.

Luckily, the Assassins have a high ability to block breath, but their ability to perceive the Master is almost none, so it is almost impossible to track them down in the place where the Heroic Spirits are fighting.

Moments later, Kiritsugu managed to escape the container terminal area and found a small speedboat hidden in a nearby river.

As long as you activate it and cross the Weiyuan River, coupled with your own hidden magic, even if the battle over there is freed up, the Assassins will not want to track them down, but why should Saber stay nearby......

“Time alter·double accel！！”

Kiritsugu, who was about to reach for the engine, suddenly withdrew his hand at a speed far beyond the limits of human beings, jumped backwards, and rolled away from the speedboat that was supposed to be the key to escape.

"Hehe, it's okay." Next to the engine of the speedboat, at some point, a tall and thin man wearing a black tights and a white skull mask on his head stood at some point, slowly withdrawing a pair of Xueliang scimitars in his hands that seemed to have just been chopped: "Originally, I only wanted to cut off your hand with the spell, but now it seems that it has to be aimed at your throat." ”

“Assassin。” Kiritsugu whispered.

It's impossible to win, even if you receive a lot of information about how weak the Assassin is, even if the guy in front of you is just one of the more weakened incarnations, even if you have successfully sneaked up on one of them-

But the chances of winning a head-on battle are still zero, Kiritsugu came to this conclusion.

Then, there is only one way to escape.

The Assassin was definitely not chasing from the docks, he was probably just curious about the small speedboat and was crouching there under the instructions of its master, so if he somehow limited his speed, coupled with the inherent time control, he could escape to the second extraction point.

"I guess you must want to escape, but unfortunately," the Assassin suddenly rushed in front of him faster than Kiritsugu had just used the magic spell, and the white mask almost touched Kiritsugu's face, "I'm faster than you." ”

Da Da Da –

Kiritsugu used the short machine gun he was already holding in his coat pocket to strafe the Assassin, but the opponent made a provocative move to completely dodge a whole shuttle of bullets, which shows that he is completely at a disadvantage in terms of speed, unless he continues to increase the multiplier of the inherent time control, but he is not sure that the opponent must not have the ability to burst speed.

"I'll tell you the unfortunate news, in addition to most of our mediocre guys who can only be cannon fodder, there are also exceptions who can fight against normal heroic spirits in some way, and I am called-" The Assassin, who had been driven far away by the machine gun, suddenly appeared in front of Kiritsu again in an instant: "[Swift Makul]! ”

It's not a spatial ability.,It's a method that instantly accelerates himself.,Kiritsugu made a judgment.,The effect is very similar to his own inherent time control.,If it becomes a battle of that ability.,Your own side will be overwhelmingly disadvantaged.。

"So, how many other beings like you are?" Kiritsugu put on a new magazine and continued to strafe, while the Assassin, who called himself Macool, dodged more comfortably, and even performed a few gymnastic moves.

"Hehe, of course you can keep talking," the Assassin rolled over a few times and stood on the speedboat, pulling out his scimitar and turning it around, "before I get tired of it and decide to kill you." ”

"Since you can't escape, killing you is also an option." Kiritsugu calmly continued to shoot, but this time the opponent even shook his place and shook a series of afterimages to dodge them all.

And the strategies that can be used -

"Hehe, someone as good as me, and-" "Bump! ”

The Assassin, who was so proud that he was almost about to take the initiative to leak information, suddenly fell to the ground, no, not by himself, but by a purple figure falling from the sky, stepping on his head and hitting the ground directly, although as a heroic spirit, he immediately turned into a spirit, but the radial spirit that was disappearing almost all over the ground still explained the consequences of that kick.

"Hi, first meeting, this gentleman who captured my master." The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, and a little inexplicably familiar.

Emiya Kiritsugu slowly tilted his head, and there was a beautiful girl like a doll, wearing a purple double-buttoned fur coat, a pure white velvet skirt, and white fur boots, with long silver-white hair that shimmered like snow, and bright ruby eyes.

She was standing on the speedboat and looking down at herself, and although she looked very similar in appearance and temperament to Alice Field, she was younger, and it would be just right for her to be the mysterious visitor who had trespassed into the castle of Einsbelen.

“Caster？” Kiritsugu seemed to think of something, and his voice was a little embarrassed.

"My name is Rizlech Ustisa von Einzberen, and I am alive in this battle as Caster." The girl closed her eyes slightly and then opened, her red eyes with a little urgency: "I heard that you married my replicant and gave birth to a daughter?" ”

“……”
