Chapter 70: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City
My name is Lin Hao,
Am I inexplicably sympathetic?

Alice Phil was not surprised by Illya's information that "Kiritsugu was ambushed outside Kenneth's workshop due to the breakdown of negotiations" and that "this place will be attacked by four powerful assassins soon".
As a member of the Einzberen family, Alice Phil herself has quite a lot of reconnaissance methods, and since Illya can be summoned as Caster Position, the detection methods she inherited and created by herself will only be more and more powerful.
In addition, the Caster class is known for its intelligence gathering advantage, and the Heroic Spirits who occupy this rank are generally good at layout or can use powerful magic, and the combat strategy is basically to conceal themselves, collect intelligence from other factions, and finally face off against the enemy who stepped into the trap in the advantageous position built by himself.
And this practice of leaving the master and not caring much, and disappearing from time to time...... Seems to be very similar to Kiritsugu? Even after he became rich, he often went out to seek justice—and sure enough, when he returned, he should pay attention to the education of Illya in this era.
"Is that so? Caster, you must have a way to deal with it. Alice Phil looked at her daughter gently.
"Hmm...... I'll strengthen the nearby defensive enchantment a little more, and the frontal combat strength is not quite enough for Lily. Illya, who was looking left and right under the corridor, observed the surroundings, and casually pushed Lin Hao, who was in a wheelchair next to her, to Artoria: "Those magic traps outside are not vegetarian, and if you can break through all the way here, you shouldn't have much physical strength left." ”
"I can—" The white-clad maiden knight seemed to retort, but Illya's hands were already glowing with silver light adjusting the magic barrier, so she swallowed the rest of the words back.
"Even if you have the confidence to fight four, but the other party is an assassin, and he will not face you head-on." When Alice Phil heard Lin Hao, the daughter's lord said to Artoria, "The Assassin can't catch Caster again, as long as you stay here, they will bump into each other themselves." ”
"I mean, I can join forces with Caster to keep all the enemies out of the courtyard, and even if they have a breath, they won't be able to sneak in with my senses." Saber· Lily pressed the position of the saber at her waist and replied earnestly.
"You know what? Caster once said to me, 'each according to his duties, each according to his ability'," although Lin Hao was in a wheelchair, his attitude when speaking was still very confident: "My understanding of this, what kind of combination, what kind of tactics and countermeasures should be adopted, Caster uses her position formation and magic ability to weaken the Assassin who broke through, and then has Saber who is excellent in melee combat to catch them all, is the right way to do it now, rather than treating Saber as a sensitive ...... Uh, Lancer comes in. ”
"Huh? But the other party will definitely think of such a normal countermeasure, right? ”
"They are Assassins, proficient in all kinds of unorthodox tactics, and a great soldier once said, 'Whoever fights, with the right combination, with the odd victory.'" If we mess with them in order to target them, we will be caught. ”
"Hmm, that seems to make sense......"
Alice Fell smiled as the two girls discussed "tactics" in a decent manner.
Although I didn't ask carefully, this girl named Lin Hao is likely to have been specially cultivated by a long-established magic family in country C to inherit the family business, in addition to her sharp attitude when facing Kiritsu, she talks and behaves gently and politely most of the time, even if she is in a wheelchair, she will naturally bring out good etiquette between actions.
Moreover, if Kiritsugu and Illya are not around, she will reveal a wealth of knowledge and meticulous logical thinking skills, and although she does not show it many times, such as when she was intercepted by a mass-produced Assassin on a national highway before.
Through many details, Alice Phil can see that her level of magic in combat and tactics is almost equal to herself, but the magic in life is a mess, although Alice Phil's previous speculation about the heir is verified, but ...... Is Xiaohao really in Taoguang to avoid too many different opinions in this team?
At this time, Lin Hao, who was discussing, noticed that Alice Fell was looking at her, so he gave a cute smile back.
Alice Fell smiled back, her gaze sweeping over the wheelchair girl's legs.
A very suspicious magic accident forced this wonderful girl to travel across the ocean to Japan to seek treatment, but was it really an accident?
Kiritsugu had brought her general information about the magic family in country C, due to the large population, their magic carvings could not be inherited by all the best descendants, but by the first boy of the patriarch's first wife to inherit most of them, and the rest were distributed to the heirs of other family branches according to certain conditions, so in country C, the families that have been inherited for too long are not very brilliant, because the magic carvings are scattered, and only the family heirs with the label of "several generations of single transmission" are really powerful.
Of course, the overall strength of the family needs to be calculated separately.
will train the girl as an heir, proving that the family does not have a "sister-in-law" who can inherit the family business - it seems to be called so - exists, judging from the fact that Lin Hao will be abandoned, she is probably not a "sister-in-law" but just the eldest daughter.
And the person she would rather remain paralyzed than protect should be another candidate who was cultivated with her, the two were suppressed after the appearance of the real "sister-in-law", as a woman, her advantage was not great, and she could not continue to participate in the competition, so the real "paralyzed" should be her younger brother, known as the existence of the "eldest son".
It seems that the Holy Grail has also made a mistake because he is not clear about the actual situation, although Lin Hao has a strong desire, but this situation called "house fight" cannot be achieved by simply making a wish, after all, it is all his own family.
The family situation in country C is really complicated, and Alice Phil turns her attention to see Illya strengthen the defensive enchantment.
72:17:09
Maiya has transformed the treehouse into a full-fledged observation post.
When Emiya Kiritsugu went out to "save the world", in addition to local informants and temporary collaborators, the one who participated in the operation the most was Kuyu Maiya, who grew extremely quickly in a series of actions between life and death, and her position gradually changed from intelligence and logistics to support and response, and now, her identity is "partner".
In those operations, it is not uncommon to encounter situations where the target has protected themselves closely, especially those who have failed with a crappy assassin, who will protect themselves so tightly that any means of approaching are not feasible, and they are also closely guarded against long-range sniping, and in this case, as snipers, they can only be more patient than the other party.
Therefore, Maiya, as an observer of Kiritsugu, adapts well to the not-so-difficult action of hiding in a treehouse and conducting sneak surveillance.
Even though it was early in the morning, she could still see Kenneth's camp in action through her sniper scope.
Rider, Lancer, and Webb were sitting around a table on the second-floor terrace, as if discussing something, Kenneth and Sora's rooms in the mansion were all curtained, presumably not yet out of bed, and Luna and the Assassin named Emile were still nowhere to be seen, possibly using magic to obscure them.
"Magic ......" Kuyu Maiya still had no expression on her face, but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.
When Kiritsugu confesses that he is a magician, Maimi, who completely understands the mistake, asks Kiritsugu to turn her into a rabbit, but Kiritsugu hesitates for a while and really transforms it!
Perhaps it was that time that Maiya became interested in controlling the magic, and even though other magic tricks were relatively rare, the magic related to seducing animals and communicating with animals was very good, such as now, there are some rabbits, marmots, and birds in the nearby jungle guarding her - the sky is already bright, and the bats will not come out.
Well? What is that?
The golden glitter in the distant sky causes Maiya to keep her eyes back on the sniper scope, and a golden and emerald green of the Ancient King's ornate car, an ancient spaceship named Hui Zhou, appears proudly in her shot.
Does this count as a big attack? Maiya hesitantly looked at the transmitter on the improvised table.
72:11:01
"What exactly do you want to do? Hero King. ”
On top of the Golden Radiance, in addition to the equally golden Gilgamesh, there was also Yan Fengqili, who had just stepped out of the Templar Church and was inexplicably swept onto the ship, and he was questioning the captain of the ship.
"Hmph, this king has given you the grace to set foot in such a noble car, and you dare to be dissatisfied?" Gilgamesh reclined on the golden throne in the middle of the flying machine, drinking with a gorgeous golden cup, completely ignoring Qi Li's question: "Do you want to die?" ”
"I still have something to do, if you plan to show off this 'new' ship, you can go to Mr. Shi Chen." Qi Li walked towards the edge of the Hui Zhou, although he was not proficient in the magic of slow falling, he should have no problem landing safely, and he had to cooperate with the Assassin Four Heavenly Kings sent to his death before dawn to carry out the next plan.
A noble car? This is already the third ship, and every time the Hero King pilots this thing to attack, it will be knocked down.
"You know what? This king hates the gods, or rather, he hates them terribly. Gilgamesh drank the wine from his glass and threw it into the golden ripples that suddenly appeared: "So, what do you think the king should have towards a man like you, who considers himself a servant of God?" ”
"Can't wait to kill him?" Because there was an invisible wall blocking the edge of the boat, Qili tried to push a few times to no avail, so he had to turn around to see what Gilgamesh was going to do.
"No, what's the point," Gilgamesh scoffed, "Isn't it ridiculous that this king would induce them to discover their deepest desires and exaggerate them, and eventually lead these so-called 'servants' down the opposite path to his gods?" ”
"Obviously, you've failed." Gilgamesh was clearly doing what he was saying he was saying at the moment.
"Failure? Sort of, this king didn't expect your god to be so—interesting. The color of the Ancient King's eyes became darker: "So this king is ready to help you again, your little plans have nothing to hide in front of this king." ”
"How can you help?" Qi Li was confident in his plan, and although he took advantage of all the conditions he could, it was still not perfect, but if the Ancient King was willing to fill that gap......
"I'll lend you the king's boat for the time being, if you do, you'll fail—hehehe."
With a cold laugh, the form of the Gilgamesh throne turned into a burst of golden light and vanished.
