As the words fell, the crowd around us dispersed and surrounded us again.

…………

"Everyone! Not to mention Mordred, even if it's really the Knight King? She no longer has the sword of victory of the oath, she is not invincible! ”

"Lancelot, needless to say, didn't carry the 'Indestructible Lake' at all! Haha, this really helped us a lot, without that troublesome sword, there is no need to be afraid! ”

"Kill them! To be able to kill the Knights of the Round Table with your own hands is a once-in-a-lifetime honor! ”

…………

People shouted, shaking their weapons in their hands.

Looking at their stance, it looks like they're going to attack all of us in the next second!

…………

"My king, my subordinates will kill a way for you, please evacuate this place as soon as possible!"

The sound of the sword as it unsheathed was unsheathed, as if in response to the knight's decision.

"No, my friend, it doesn't have to be."

The girl looked up from my arms, her face still stained with tears, but her blue eyes had completely regained their usual calm.

…………

"Shirou, give me instructions." Looking into my eyes, the girl's voice was very calm.

It's so calm that it is as if the endless enemies that surround us do not exist.

However, in my heart, I only felt the cruelty that nothing in the world could surpass.

…………

The girl's meaning was clear, and I allowed her to use a weakened version of the Sword of Victory of Oath to sweep away all the offenders.

That is, to bury the bones of these thousands of people here!

…………

"Does that really have to be the case? You know, there are a lot of Britons in there! There must be some other means......"

"No, it's the only way." The girl didn't take a moment off her eyes from me, "If we're going to get the Dragon's Whiskers, we'll have to see Skaha." In order to meet Skaha, we have to be the only team to win. Therefore, even if he escapes by other means today, he must end the lives of these people with his own hands one day! ”

"But...... ...... like this"

…………

I can't.

It was precisely because I knew that the girl had this kind of strength that I could not give an order.

Even if it is a single life, I hope to do everything in my power to save it, let alone thousands of people.

You know, these aren't long dead servants or evil creatures, they're all ordinary humans who are completely indistinguishable from me!

If I do that, then I'm ......

…………

"Shirou, this is a helpless thing to do, and it is the only choice at the moment. Moreover, I am the one responsible for the execution, so you don't have to feel guilty at all, let alone be responsible for it. The girl's voice sounded so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.

"It's not! Not that question! …… Neither you nor I should do this! In a word...... There must be a way, only this is absolutely not possible! "I felt like I was going to break down.

"That's right...... If that's Shirou's choice, I wouldn't have an opinion. The girl sighed as if she had expected it.

…………

Without saying a word, the girl walked up to Lancelot and stood side by side with the knight.

"My friend, remember the battle we fought against the Saxons near Cardiff before the establishment of Camelot?" Looking ahead, the girl calmly asked the knight beside her.

"Remember, my king." The knight nodded, "At that time, when you and your two subordinates were exploring the battlefield terrain with an army of less than 100 people, they were ambushed by thousands of people from the other side. In that battle, except for you and your subordinates, all the soldiers around you died. We fought nearly a thousand enemies alone until dawn. Later, thanks to the arrival of reinforcements, the Saxons fled in disarray. ”

Even after all this time, Lancelot still looked apprehensive.

…………

"Exactly. But my friend, there is one thing that Qing seems to have forgotten. The girl suddenly smiled, and her face, which was already extremely pretty, was even more beautiful.

“…… What is it, my king? The knight asked, confused.

"In that battle, the other side left countless wounds on our bodies, and what we left behind the other side was hundreds of corpses!"

…………

The knight was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Haha, exactly. If you want to swallow us at no cost, you might as well dream big! My king, my subordinates understand what you mean. It is an honor to be able to fight with you until the last moment! ”

"Thank you, my friend. In this battle, please be sure to help. Besides, there won't be any reinforcements this time, so we'll all have to work harder. The girl said with a smile.

…………

After a few more words with the knight, and settling the matter, the girl turned and looked at me with a gaze that had never been gentle.

“……”

It was as if something was blocking the depths of his throat, and he couldn't speak.

…………

"Shirou, wait a minute, be sure to follow me. Lancelot and I will do our best to fight your way out. You don't have to worry about anything, you just run hard and don't look back. ”

“……”

"By the way, you have to promise me one thing." As if thinking of something, the girl's expression became serious, "You will live, live more tenaciously than anyone else, along with my share!" ”

…………

“…… Let me. ”

The sound was so small that I could barely hear it.

“…… Shirou? ”

"Let me come in person. I will take all the lives of these people! Biting his lip hard, this time the voice finally came out between his teeth.

…………

Along with the sound, all of its own magic is released.

Knives, swords, spears, halberds......

One legendary divine weapon after another was suspended in mid-air above his head, his blades shining with cold light aimed at the crowd.

That sharpness made everyone unconsciously hold their breath.

…………

"Shirou ......! These are ......" Looking at the scene above my head, the girl opened her mouth wide.

"I've seen all the original treasures in the Hero King's treasury. As with summoning the Sword in the Stone, I've transferred them all here. ”

…………

Yes, that's the biggest hole card I've ever had.

Although the effect of spatial transfer magic is significant, the more people who carry it, the greater the consumption of mana.

If I want to transfer myself, the girl, the knight, Ios, and Buck in the field, even if I increase my entire magic power tenfold, it may not be enough.

However, if you just summon a known Noble Phantasm, the cost of mana is much smaller.

…………

He looked up and confirmed the summoned Noble Phantasm.

Sixteen.

This amount is also the limit of what I can control at the moment.

Although it seems that it is not enough, the crowd around us can be said to be crowded in order to completely surround us.

With such a crowd density, as long as enough magic power is injected into the treasure to allow them to penetrate the human body infinitely......

You only need to repeat it up to three times to wipe out all the enemies!

…………

"Artoria, make sure that no one comes near me while I'm using the Noble Phantasm!"

Glancing over the approaching crowd around me, I said to the girl.

“…… I see. Shirou just do what you want. ”

The girl nodded with a complicated expression, and motioned for the knights not far away to come to my side as a guard.

…………

"Up! Kill them! ”

By this time, the crowd around us had already pounced on us.

Gritting my teeth, I fully drove the Noble Phantasm, which was already full of magic and ready to go, and was ready to shoot into the crowd!

…………

"Wait! Stop it! ”

Suddenly, a figure rushed to the front, forcibly blocking me from the crowd.
