Chapter Twenty-Six: A Golden Opportunity!

"Lure away the Servants, and then directly attack their Master?"

Saber's eyes widened, was this Emiya Kiritsugu's tactic? Take advantage of the temporary absence of one Servant in Liudong Temple to lure another Servant away, and then take the opportunity to implement the decapitation tactic?

"This is the most effective method, and this is not the time to pay attention to integrity, the opportunity is fleeting, and whether there will be such a thing in the future, none of us can be sure."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't even look at Saber, and his voice didn't seem to be suppressed, as if he was faintly recounting a fact that could not be more conspicuous.

"And let me tell you, Caster is now killing people to gain magical powers, and according to where his whereabouts appeared, I have found three families that have been killed, all of them have been brutally tortured and killed, and the remnants of strange magic circles are depicted in blood......"

"This ......," Saber suddenly looked ugly.

"According to common sense, that Caster wants to restore his previous level of mana, and summon that devastating storm and thunder again, it is certainly not something that can be done in a short time, even if he recovers his mana by directly plundering his life force......"

Emiya Kiritsugu said lightly, still not looking at the knight girl who was wearing men's clothes and looking heroic, and directly picked up the stick on the moral high ground.

"Could it be that Saber, you want to wait until he kills enough of the residents of Fuyuki City in this way and recovers all his magic power, and then fights the other party to the death? Defend the idea and justice in your heart with the lives of countless innocent people? ”

"I ...... I see, I agree with Master, your approach. ”

Saber's face was red and white for a while, and finally she still clenched her five fingers, nodded and gritted her teeth and agreed, as a real knight, the accusation of others standing on the moral high ground and the moral kidnapping are extremely lethal to her.

Probably because of someone's inconvenience, many things have not happened or have not happened yet, such as Bluebeard not targeting Saber, Yan Feng Qili has not targeted Emiya Kiritsugu, and Emiya Kiritsugu has not unilaterally tortured Kenneth...... And so on and so forth.

None of these things have happened yet, or they haven't had time to happen, so although there is still a decisive feud between the unscrupulous magician killer Kiritsugu Emiya and Saber, who insists on carrying out his own chivalry, they have not yet reached the point of completely tearing their faces.

Alice Field, who was next to "......", couldn't help but open her mouth when she saw Saber's embarrassment, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Although she actually knew very well that her husband was the least qualified person to say such things.

All people are entitled to stand on the moral high ground...... But only Emiya Kiritsugu didn't even have the qualifications to do so.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu has neither human ethics nor pride as a magician in his eyes, although he is a dreamer who hopes for world peace, he is a ruthless realist in practice.

In order to achieve the justice that you believe in, you can erase feelings and morals, and only demand to be the most accurate balance, and you will do whatever it takes to carry out your goals to the end. He did not have the courage and pride to compete with others with his life, so his goal was to ensure victory and the right to survive with the least risk and with care.

Others will feel entangled and unable to answer the problem of the tram, but he never hesitates, because he is really a person who takes the number of lives as a weight and weighs it on the scale.

- Killing one person can save two people, no matter how you look at it, it's a matter of earning, and he never hesitates......

The most terrifying thing is that Emiya Kiritsugu not only feels that the problem of the train is not a problem at all, and it can be measured by the number of lives, but also firmly believes that he is the person who is qualified to change the direction of the train.

He really felt that he was a savior, and he was born to save all mankind, so he ran with all his strength for the justice in his heart, and did whatever it took to achieve it......

So this means that he has done this countless times, and it doesn't matter if he chooses to kill a few people or something in order to save the majority, whether the minority is innocent or the majority is guilty.

And now, in order to coerce Saber to agree to his plan, he is making a fuss about this matter, using the lives of innocent people as an excuse to pick up the moral stick...... This one is really ironic.

When did he care about the lives of innocent people? If there is now a chance for him to directly obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill his wish at the cost of the lives of all the residents of the entire Fuyuki City, do you think Emiya Kiritsugu will have any hesitation?

He promised to start planning right away to make sure that every resident of Fuyuki City would be killed once and for all, and that no fish would slip through the net - the price would not be paid in full, and the Holy Grail would not be able to fulfill his wish.

To be able to ensure the salvation of all humanity in the world at the cost of the lives of a city, this is definitely earned - this man is definitely such logic.

After all, they have lived together for nine years, and Alice Phil really knows him too well, especially the indifferent expression of Emiya Kiritsugu at this moment, which seems to be wearing a mask, which makes Alice Phil even more disgusted.

This man was not the husband she knew, and it seemed that after the night of the encounter a few days ago, he tried his best and even used the magic of "inherent time control" to finally escape from the storm and thunder, and Emiya Kiritsugu was a completely different person.

Maybe it's because I saw the unreasonable Golden Archer with infinite treasures......

Maybe it's because of the Caster who calls the wind and thunder and is suspected of being a great magician of the gods......

Emiya Kiritsugu was already unhappy with recruiting knights like Saber who claimed to be chivalry, because he preferred Caster and Assassin to act in the shadows, which were the servants who would play a greater role in his Holy Grail War.

And now it is found that even the legendary knight king, in the face of this Holy Grail war full of strong men, has no great chance of winning, which undoubtedly makes the fear and pressure in this man's heart increase day by day.

Originally, he would not have felt pain, because he had nothing to lose, and only had to carry on his own pursuit of that cruel ideal.

However, now that he has a wife and daughter, he has become vulnerable, and he can't even imagine what will happen if he loses the Holy Grail War this time.

Alice Phil could probably understand Emiya Kiritsugu's thoughts, but there were still a lot of threads in her heart, and the woman named Maiya who made her feel melancholy, during this meeting, there was no doubt about Kiritsugu's remarks, and she remained silent.

It's like this woman's past.,I've been silent.,Silently entrusting everything to Emiya Kiritsugu.。 Even though she is an artificial person, Alice Phil can still be sure that the woman closest to her husband at the moment is not herself, but Maiya......

It was as if the nine years that the two had lived together had ceased to exist, and the young woman's heart began to be restless.

"Then without further ado, let's go now, we can't give Caster a chance to regain his magic......"

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't notice his wife's melancholy and melancholy, and his whole mind was now focused on this opportunity.

Because Xia Ran has been cultivating behind closed doors since he made the big news of the gas explosion in Dongmu City, and there has been no trace for several days. The others also took it for granted that the storm and thunder that night were too terrifying, consuming too much magic power, and his lord couldn't supply it.

So it's a reasonable assumption that Caster is either slowly and naturally recovering his mana, or looking for other ways to recover quickly. Emiya Kiritsugu also believes in such a thing, so he feels that this is a rare opportunity.

With such preconceived ideas, coupled with Xia Ran's intentional or unintentional misleading when he tracked down Yusheng Ryunosuke, it is not incomprehensible that Emiya Kiritsugu believes that Caster is absorbing magic through killing.

Fortunately, it may be that he is worried that the scale is too large, and his whereabouts will be exposed, or even give others an excuse to crusade together, so Caster is very cautious about this kind of thing, and even the news of the murder of several families he killed has not come out.

Therefore, the speed at which it recovers its mana will not be too fast, and Emiya Kiritsugu judges that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Just like the previous plan! However, Maiya and I will be going to meet with Lancer's Master, because this time it will be necessary to find a reliable temporary ally to work with to ensure that nothing goes wrong......"

Looking at the sky outside the castle and finding that it was already close to evening, the sunset on the horizon seemed to be burning, and Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath.

"Also, remember that the goal this time is not to kill the other party's lord directly, but to force them to be used by us, at least to use their power to solve the king of conquest and the king of heroes......"

That's right, that's the real purpose of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Because simply removing Caster and Berserker doesn't make much sense, but will make the Holy Grail War once again a dominant situation, such as the Golden Shining King, who is known as the most ancient king.

His Noble Phantasm is overwhelming, and it is currently just a matter of suffocating at the hands of Caster and Berserker. But if other people deal with him, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.

From the very beginning, Emiya Kiritsugu did not intend to eliminate the harm of the people, or simply eliminate the enemy, which did not conform to the formula he had always adhered to, he just hoped to seize this almost, and control Caster and Berserker by surprise, so that they could go and die with the other enemies first......

Saber didn't say anything about it, just nodded wordlessly.

……

……

It only took an hour to drive to Fuyuki City, and it took less than half an hour to reach a deal with Kenneth, who was easy to deceive and easy to underestimate, and after nightfall, the two sides were in action at the same time.

Tonight is a moonless night, there is no moon, and a sea of black clouds flows in the night sky.

A gentle breeze blows in the mountains and forests, and the trees rustle like whispers. There is no singing of winter birds, nor of beasts barking at the moon. There is only one road leading to Liudong Temple, and the long stone staircase is peaceful tonight.

Looking at the mountain gate in the darkness at the end of the road, the two servants who were silently keeping a distance and walking side by side on the long stone steps stopped at the same time, others may not think that there is anything strange about Liudong Temple.

But in the eyes of the two, the huge magic power almost enveloped the entire mountain.
