Chapter Forty-Eight: A New Situation

The day after the all-out war.

After killing Semiramis that day, Li Ji immediately decided to retreat with the six guides Lingxia, Jack, and the Great Illya and Xiaohei, who were blocking Atalanta's return, and returned to the Cluj they were familiar with.

Xiao Hei has just summarized the latest news he heard-

"The mastermind behind the scenes, Amakusa Shiro, who is currently occupying the Magpie's Nest, is centered on the Merenia Fortress and regrouped, and the remaining servants include the Red Lancer Karna, the Red Archer Atalanta, the Red Caster Shakespeare, the Red Rider Achilles, and the defected Black Caster Avisbronn."

"Has Avisbroon defected?" Big Illya asked.

"yes." Xiao Hei replied solemnly, "The wish of this magician who has studied Kabbalah all his life is to create Adam, the original human being, and it does not need to be realized through the Holy Grail, and Amakusa Shiro has the possibility of continuing to provide him with relevant resources to ensure his existence in this world, so he defected." ”

"I have to say that even if we have eliminated the Red Assassin, the forces on the Amakusa side are still so terrifying, not only the number of servants is extremely large, but also has the top Heroes such as Karna and Achilles, and even out-of-specification heroes."

While everyone was appreciated, Xiao Hei continued to add: "On the other side, the Thousand Realms Tree Family suffered heavy casualties, the head of the family, Danick, died, the master Serenickai died, and a large number of artificial people, alchemy puppets, and puppets died under the large-scale bombardment of the vain sky courtyard. “

"The surviving masters only include Corles, Fiore, and Gold, and the surviving servants are Black Archer Caron, and Black Berserker Frankenstein."

"Frankenstein is not dead?" Li Ji asked strangely, this did not match the plot in his memory, but from this point on, the world of "Fate/Apocrypha" was completely pushed by him in a direction created by himself, and such a small change was nothing at all.

"Well, I'm sure Frankenstein survived."

"Serenikai is dead." Li Ji secretly thought, this time I didn't ask, this rider Astolford's master because of his distorted personality, often licks Astolford when he has nothing to do, and gives benefits, which is actually very impressive.

After Xiao Hei finished speaking, he continued to add other information: "The remnants of the Thousand World Tree Family were driven out by Amakusa Shiro, left the city, left Tullyfas, and are currently moving towards the relative safety of Cluj. ”

"Further down is Ruler Joan of Arc, from what I have learned so far, there are more Ziggy and Black Rider Astolfo next to Miss Saintess, it seems that Ziggy has become Asterford's new master, plus Ziggy himself's hidden black Saber Ziegfei's identity, their side is not weak."

"The location of Joan of Arc has not yet been confirmed."

"Then there is the Red Saber Mordred and the Master Lion Raider, they once fought against the black Saber who suddenly appeared in the Great War, and it is estimated that they hid in which cemetery."

Xiao Hei said this, pursed her lips, the last sentence was completely her assumption, although the probability is extremely high, there is no doubt that there has been absolutely no detailed investigation.

Li Ji followed the little black words, "The above is the current situation, compared to the early war between the two sides, at this point in time, the participants in the Holy Grail War have been split into countless small forces, it seems that our goal has been initially achieved, however, considering that the final goal of Amakusa Shiro and Joan of Arc will lead to the destruction of the Great Holy Grail, we need to continue to work hard." ”

"What do the Magic Society and the Templar Church think of Amakusa Shiro's actions?"

"The Magic Association said that Amakusa Shiro would be wanted, and the Templar Church said that it was his personal act and had nothing to do with the will of the church.

"Sure enough, the situation of the Holy Grail War has collapsed to this point, and the arrogant Magic Association still has no intention of making a move, maybe it plans to snatch the Great Holy Grail back after the Great War and bring it under its control."

Li Ji thought that the independent Einzberen family had no special interest in the lost Great Holy Grail, and also funded the Thousand Worlds Tree Family's artificial human technology and holy relics, and he planned to continue to build a new Great Holy Grail, otherwise he might have made a move.

"What is the attitude of the various forces towards us?"

"There is no comment for the time being, because there is less information to judge, but a series of investigations and contacts will definitely be launched. In addition, Aunt Six Directors and Jack may bear more attention, the first is the official participant in the Holy Grail War, and the second is that in such a complicated situation, solving the Red Assassin and leaving unharmed is already worthy of attention. ”

"Miss Liudao and Jack have to keep a low profile these days."

"I understand." After Jack eliminated the near-invincible Semiramis, the sixth guide Lingxia's admiration for Li Ji, who had laid out the complete plan, reached a new height, and no longer questioned any of his decisions.

"Xiao Hei keeps the investigation and ensures the timeliness of the information, and I and Da Illya are preparing the means to deal with Amakusa Shiro and Joan of Arc, until then, we can't let the situation change further, and we will remain dormant."

Li Ji's next goal is to deal with Amakusa Shiro, then, no matter how the Holy Grail War develops, it will continue to absorb the souls of the Heroic Spirits in accordance with the normal order, until the summoning ceremony begins and the wish of the victor is fulfilled, and Joan of Arc will not do anything to destroy the Great Holy Grail.

And he knew that Amakusa Shiro had not thought of carrying out the summoning ritual at all, and had Semiramis destroy the soul collection device early, and his Noble Phantasm, the right arm, Evil Rebellion, and the left arm, Tianhui Jipan, made him qualified to intervene in the Great Holy Grail like the Einzberen family, and even directly connected it, which was undoubtedly better, and would strengthen the effect of making a wish, and it would be more deceptive to most people.

Once the situation develops to that point, the best outcome is to destroy the Great Grail, and the worst is that the broken Great Holy Grail is gone, and Zig sends it to the inner world to be the companion of the illusion species.

Li Ji, the only one who knew the truth, couldn't do it in advance, and the eighteen spells in the hands of Amakusa Shiro, coupled with a large number of servants who were always protecting them, magic spells, and magic traps, made it difficult to achieve the goal either earlier or now.

"Understood, the war is not over yet, we will continue to work hard."

The two loli responded to him in unison.

Li Ji thought of something, "Anyway, this is our first success, let's celebrate, including Miss Liudao, if Jack and Xiao Hei are here, no servant will be able to approach us silently." ”
