Chapter 42: The Assassin
The Assassin appears out of nowhere. In fact, the fact that the assassin did not leave the scene has long been exposed. Tosaka's plan didn't seem to be of much use. finally created the illusion of an assassin's exit. Instead of sending him to assassinate a relatively weak master, he went to engage in some kind of intelligence gathering game. Wasted a good hand, and now let the Assassin send him to his death to get the information on the Emperor's Treasure. Bored eggs hurt.
But the number of assassins is abnormal. They all wore masks and black robes, and their physiques were different. There are giant men, there are emaciated types, there are short childlike people, and there are women's figures. This is the effect of Hassan's Noble Phantasm, which is called "Hundred Appearances".
ββ¦β¦ You did it, right? Archerγ β
Kim shrugged innocently. "Who knows, I don't have to figure out what those mongrels think." He really didn't know what kind of plane Tosaka Tosaka was going to do, and Tosaka Tosaka had been planning some inexplicable tricks since he was summoned.
Since all the assassins were dispatched at once, it must not be Yan Feng Qili's order alone. Presumably this was the intention of his teacher, Tosaka Tokitomi.
Because Shi Chen did his courtesy to the hero king, Jin Shanshan also recognized him as the master. However, Shi Chen's behavior made Jin Shanshan more and more dissatisfied with him.
Isn't this looking for death?
Although this banquet was initiated by the Emperor, the wine was served by Sparkle. Sending a killer at such a banquet is tantamount to smearing the face of the Hero King, which makes Jin Shinshuang very angry.
"Hmm...... It's a mess. β
Seeing the enemy approaching, Webb let out a sigh that bordered on screaming. Incomprehensible, this is completely beyond the rule limits of the Holy Grail War. "What's going on?! How did Assassin go one after the other...... Isn't there only one Servant per rank?!"
Seeing Weber's embarrassed appearance, the assassins couldn't help but laugh evilly. "You're right, we are Servants as individuals, and the individuals within them are only shadows of the whole." I don't know why weak assassins are always so confident when attacking head-on. In this kind of scene, you can still laugh.
"Do you mean...... We've been watched by this bunch of guys to this day?" Alice Fell muttered in pain, and everyone couldn't help but shiver. Although the other party is not strong enough. But the fact that they were able to sneak in, and the fact that they were numerous, was indeed quite a threat.
The assassin really wasn't used by Tosaka Tokitomi like this.
"They're going to get serious."
A rabble that relies on numerical superiority. If you attack from the front, the Servants present will never lose, but this is only if you are the only Servant facing the enemy.
However, with the Master also present, it is a very urgent problem to have a large number of enemies in order to protect his companions.
So, the assassin is used to kill the master. Good assassins are used as scouts, and there is no one.
In this case, the emperor is still drinking leisurely?
ββ¦β¦ Rider, hey, hey......" Even though the princess cried out uneasily, the emperor still didn't take any action. He looked around at the Assassins, his eyes still calm. "Hey, kids, don't be so embarrassed. Isn't it just that there are guests at the banquet, and the wine is still drunk. β
"Where do they look like guests!?"
The Emperor smiled bitterly and sighed, and then faced the Assassin who surrounded him, and he greeted with a dull expression like a fool, "I say, everyone, can you restrain your ghost qi?" My friend was terrified by you. β
Artoria thought she had misheard, and Mordred couldn't help but laugh, and even Jin Shishier frowned. "Do you want to invite them to the table? Conquer the King. β
"Of course! The king's speech should be heard by all the people, and since someone has come to hear it, it does not matter whether it is an enemy or a friend. The Emperor said calmly, scooping out the bottle of red wine with a spoon and reaching out to the Assassins.
"Come, you're welcome, if you want to drink together, come and get the cup yourself. The wine is with your blood. β
