Eighteen kilometers southwest of the container terminal where the battle took place, in the underground magic workshop of the Tosaka family, the master and apprentice regrouped, and the crystal chess pieces on the table, symbolizing Lancer and Rider, had been placed on the location of the dock on the map and touched each other.
"It seems that this is not a formal battle, but a battle between allies." Maintaining his empathy, he explained the situation on the battlefield to Tosaka Tokitomi and Yusheng Ryunosuke: "Rider summoned five unranked Heroic Spirits to besiege Lancer, and the Masters of both sides gathered together. ”
"The possibility of directly attacking the two masters?" Tosaka groaned and moved the pawn representing Assassin to the edge of the battlefield.
"It's low, because they've formed an alliance and will stop supporting the Servants as soon as there is a foreign enemy, and until then the Assassin's abilities won't be able to do enough damage to pull them out of the war - not even with the Berserker." Ryunosuke Yusheng pushed the crystal chess piece representing Berserker forward, put it with Assassin, thought about it for a while, and withdrew the two chess pieces together.
"If you can ask the Ancient King to help......" Yan Feng Qili's suggestion was halfway through, and he shook his head and gave up.
Gilgamesh would only be able to make a move if a Heroic Spirit showed enough strength or charisma, and if he were to do something like a sneak attack, the three spells would not be enough to appease him with murderous intent towards the offender in the rest of the war.
Even if he is told about the dangers of the combined enemy, he will only get that "garbage is just a garbage heap." That's the answer.
"Anyway, Ryunosuke, you approach the scene and let Berserker stand by, maybe you will have a chance to make a move." Tosaka Tokichen frowned, took the chess pieces of Assassin and Berserker and put them the logo of the container terminal, and knocked the chess pieces of Rider and Lancer into a shake: "Qili, you send more Assassins to go, if there is no chance to kill the Master, it will be carried out as originally planned." ”
"Okay." "Yes."

Emiya Kiritsugu is observing the battlefield with a scope.
With the help of Kuyu Maiya's detection ability, he kept track of Lancer when he first appeared on the shopping street of Xindu, and even Kenneth who was following behind did not ignore it, and the stealth magic he cast may be able to hide the magic detection and naked eye observation, but it is meaningless in front of the scope that Kiritsugu specially modified, and the highlight human figure symbolizing the operation of magic in the sniper scope is very clear.
Lancer and Rider are arguing, and if he shoots the gathered Masters now, there is a good chance that he will seriously injure or even kill one person, but it is impossible to escape from the pursuit of the angry Servant. Alter came to help, and she couldn't handle the siege of four Servants at once.
Yes, four, there is no doubt that the Assassin is nearby, and it is possible that Berserker is also lurking, and as for Archer, who attacked the castle of Einzbehren that morning, if it is killed by Saber· Lily's Noble Phantasm might not have been there if it had been hit hard.
Now Emiya Kiritsugu has the advantage that no one knows that he is here, and there are helpers.
"Maiya, did you spot the Assassin?" Kiritsugu used the communicator to contact his assistant at another vantage point in the dock, and at this time he was in the middle of a high stacked container, and although the crane was a better position, there was more than one person who would think that way—it was better for a fool to occupy it, so Kiritsugu chose a lesser location.
"From my direction, I can see a hole in the back of a container near the site of the fighting, probably with the Assassin inside."
"Very well, continue to see if any other Heroic Spirits approach."
Because it is a friendly exchange, it is possible to leak information during the battle, so send an assassin to conduct close monitoring? In this case, it may be possible to mislead the two sides who are fighting, so that they can focus on the surrounding Assassins, at this time, the participants must know that the Assassins are not individuals, as long as one appears, they may follow a group, so when they are vigilant and shrink the defense, it is a good opportunity for them to take action.
And the goal is ...... Kiritsugu's scope was firmly locked on the boy who was being reprimanded.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary magicians, the fact that this young man named Webber was led by his own Heroic Spirit was a major failure, but it was not good news for the Magician Killer, because his actions were completely inconsistent with the reactions of the magicians mastered by Kiritsugu in various situations, and the Heroic Spirit, who had been given the right to move freely, would actively protect Masster, and at that time the stunner could be said to be useless, and its bullets could not penetrate the defenses of the Heroic Spirit, which was already on guard.
If you can get Rider out of the field, without his high-speed vehicle, Kiritsugu's chances of escaping after a shot will be greatly increased, but his first attack is the next strategy, and the best solution is to make Berserker, Assassin, or Archer fish in troubled waters when Tosaka can't bear to make a move.
Thinking so, Kiritsugu continued to observe the battlefield with his scope.
178:50:11
Separated by the lane where Rider and Lancer battled, Maiya Hisayu was on another pile of containers far away from Kiritsugu Emiya, and the lurking position was chosen according to Kiritsugu's instructions, and only a slight tilt of the head could be used to monitor the freight exit to this open-air warehouse.
This is not to warn the Servant, as they can be spiritualized to avoid the surveillance of conventional means, but the Master does not have such an ability, and the magician's invisible magic can be easily detected by Kiritsugu's modified scope, and if the Servant does not have the ability to "act alone", his presence means that his Master must be nearby.
Lancer's provocative behavior during the day would definitely attract more than one Master, or rather, Tosaka Toshitoki's camp would most likely send someone to investigate, and it should be another disciple who did not summon the Assassin.
And Kuyu Maiya's task is to report in time after he appears, and Kiritsugu will formulate countermeasures according to the situation on the scene, or provoke a fight between the two sides, or evacuate after hitting one side hard, Maiya is not good at analyzing this, and may put forward her own opinions, but as long as it is the strategy proposed by Kiritsugu, she will not hesitate to implement it, because the long-term cooperation has proven that this is the most correct approach.
"Maiya, did you find anything?" Kiritsugu's voice came through the headphones.
"No, not yet, but there's no way to know for sure if the Assassin left that container." Maiya turned her scope to the battlefield, where the battle between Rider and Lancer was coming to an end, and the Heroic Spirit with two spears had defeated almost all of the soldiers summoned by Rider, and was saying something to the red-haired man on the chariot, while the exit of the vehicle was as quiet as ever.
"Pay more attention to the entrance, it's impossible for the Tosaka family to do nothing in this battle." Emiya Kiritsugu replied quickly.
"Understood." Kuyu Maiya hung up the call after hearing Kiritsugu take the line.
If the enemy hadn't come along the main road, it might have been possible to use the sewers, but Maiya had already placed bats near all the sewer entrances that could enter the docks, and even the most suspicious magician would not be able to check the most common bats in the sewers one by one.
"No one can escape my eyes." She whispered to herself.
"Really?"
"When—" Without hesitation, Maiya Kuyu pulled out the tactical dagger at her side and stabbed at the orange-haired, smiling young man who had suddenly appeared beside her, but it was unable to move in as if it were stuck in a viscous liquid before it could hit the man's body.
Magician! She immediately pulls the trigger of the gun in her other hand and points it at her, so that even if she can't pose a threat to the other party, the resulting gunshots and bullets will alert Kiritsugu, and it would be better if she could alarm Rider and Lancer who are fighting.
But the expected gunshot did not sound, and Kuyu Maiya found that the thing in her hand had turned a terrifying black at some point, and there were blood-red lightning stripes wrapped around it, and the figure holding her muzzle, which was completely black and exuding ominous magic fluctuations, was, of course......
Before Maiya could come up with any way to warn, she had already received a heavy knife in the back of her neck, and she could only slowly fall on the container with an unwilling expression.
178:34:19
"Ahh
Far away from the container battlefield, there was a sudden roar like a beast, and with that roar, a figure covered in an ominous black mist rushed straight towards a blonde woman in a black suit standing by the river.
"Huh? Wait a minute? A startled voice came from the place where he rushed out, and it was Ryunosuke Yusheng, who was carrying Maiya Kuyu who was in a coma: "What, found King Arthur?" ”
Berserker picked up a fallen tree in the middle of the assault, and in the next moment, it turned into a huge black weapon wrapped in blood-colored lines, and viciously smashed it at the blonde woman in front of her, who didn't seem to react.
Boom - Buzz -
"Huh?" None of Ryusuke's expected dodges, parries, or transformations occurred, and the blonde woman in a black suit — Saber — raised her hand and threw out something like a box, and Berserker's terrifying weapon disintegrated and dissipated, leaving the berserker with no self-will.
In the emotions that came from the magic link, Ryunosuke even felt some kind of distorted joy, which was unbelievable for Berserker, who was originally completely overflowing with hatred.
"Oh, isn't this Lancelot?" The blonde woman turned, her oppressive appearance and the pressure from her dragon-like golden vertical pupils almost made the dark figure move: "It seems that it is still possible for you to agree with the methods of domination I have adopted." ”
"Goahh
"I see, you are not the noble Lancelot who was adamantly opposed to my approach even to the end," said Saber Brown. Alter sneered: "The knight who is bound to rebel is like some kind of curse. ”
"Ahh
"In that case, let you be freed from this sorrow." Saber clasped his hands at his side, and a swirl of black and red appeared, converging into a blood-colored sword that made Ryunosuke feel ominous just by looking at it.
As it appeared, it began to draw a large amount of darkness from its surroundings, so much so that Saber's surroundings began to light up instead.
If this sword goes down, Berserker will definitely die.
Ryunosuke Woo turned around and ran without hesitation, while concentrating his magic on the spell on the back of his hand.
"[Oath and Victory-]" "In the name of the Spell, Berserker immediately appeared by my side and led me back to Tosaka Mansion with all my might—"
