Chapter 119: First Contact
The news about the unknown powerful Heroic Spirit of the Tosaka family is no longer a secret among the remaining masters, and the black magic bullet that is still clearly visible in the thickest night makes the rest of the magicians misunderstand the position of the Heroic Spirit of the Tosaka family, and it is undoubtedly stupid to engage in positional battles with a caster, so the Tosaka house has unsurprisingly calmed down.
(Temporarily avoid strong enemies, and destroy or unite with other weak ones first, this is the strategy.) οΌ
Ireland's "glorious appearance", Dilumudo-Audi thought so, just like at this time, deliberately exposing the aura of being a heroic spirit, luring unknown heroic spirits to come to battle, and then using the special characteristics of his treasure to abolish the local heroic spirits, this is also a strategy.
Saber walked in the direction of the enemy, his steps relaxed and confident.
Alice Fell followed behind her as she pressed the button of the device hidden in her pocket. This is the transmitter that Kiritsugu gave her, and it is said that it can be used to tell Kiritsugu where he is, and Kiritsugu is very fond of using this mechanical prop that has no magical powers.
Alice Phil believes in Saber's power, and hopefully this time the enemy is far below Saber's strength, and then easily defeated by her proud Servant, Alice Phil looks forward to such a fight.
Yes, if possible...... She wanted to see the knights decide the winner the moment Kiritsugu intervened in the battle......
The Weiyuan River is close to the mouth of the sea, and the Dongmu Bridge across both sides of it is a majestic arch bridge with a total length of 665 meters.
The arch is at least fifty meters high, and if one stands on it, it will definitely be blown down by the strong sea breeze, and even skilled workers will definitely not dare to go up empty-handed without a safety rope.
But Weber-Velvet was trembling at the moment, and naturally he didn't even have a safety rope, so now he didn't care about pretending to be solemn and majestic.
Beside him, his heroic spirit sat there with a majestic expression.
βRiβ¦β¦ derβ¦β¦ Go down...... Hurry up!"
Webb said shivering because of the cold and fear, but the tall man didn't care at all.
"It's perfect to be a sentry here, but for now, let me see the scenery and change my mood."
From time to time, he lifted the bottle of red wine in his hand and took a sip, while staring indifferently at the shore to the west. There was a large seaside park, and while Webb couldn't see it, he knew from Rider's words that the Servant they had spent nearly four hours tracking down was supposed to be there.
Rider had been wandering around the city to reach the enemy, and just yesterday afternoon, he sensed the Servant's breath.
Webber wanted to go straight forward, but Rider just watched the opponent from a distance, and in the face of Weber's questioning, the big man only snorted from his nose.
"That's obviously luring us out, how can no one notice that the other party's aura is so obvious, not only me, I'm afraid other Servants are also watching them. If we wait and see, maybe some of the anxious masters will take action, and this is the time I'm waiting for. β
Weber's strategy made sense, even surprised, to Rider's strategy. This tall man, who looks bold and upright on the outside, still has such a careful mind.
But...... Although I can understand the meaning of the phrase "stand tall and see far", no matter how high it is, there must be a limit! Let's not talk about Servant, let's take an ordinary person, falling from here is certain death, Rider must know this, but why did he run to this place regardless of Webb's safety?
"Drop...... Falling! No, let me down! I...... I...... I can't stand it! β
"Don't worry, can't you calm down? Waiting for the right moment is also a form of fighting. Rider said in a nonchalant tone as he sipped his drink, ignoring Webb's crying face, "If you're really that free, read my book, good one." β
Hearing this, Webb remembered the resentful weight of his backpack. Obviously, when I had to reduce my luggage, I actually stuffed a thick and heavy poetry book in my bag.
It was a book that Rider had raided and looted from the library when he first arrived, and it was the Iliad by the ancient Greek poet Homer, which chronicled the battle of gods and men called the Trojan War.
The other is a map, which is not true, and it makes sense that Rider, who wants to conquer the world, will be interested in geography.
So what's going on with this collection of poems? The big war was approaching, so Rider kept the map at home, but he insisted on taking the Iliad with him. Of course, Rider will be spiritualized from time to time, so it is impossible to carry luggage at all, so the burden of carrying luggage falls on Webb's shoulders.
I remember that Rider said that this book is "preparation for battle", but this is not a book on the art of war or anything like that, what can it be used for on the battlefield?
βRiderβ¦β¦ Why...... You want to take this book with you?"
"The Iliad is profound! I'm afraid that if I suddenly recall one of the verses in the middle of the battle, it will be very uncomfortable if I can't re-read it on the spot. β
......Although he knew that the other party's explanation must be very inexplicable, he couldn't figure it out because he was afraid, "...... on the spot What do you mean...... On the battlefield?"
"Hmm."
"Reading on the battlefield? Fighting on the side? Reading a book while swinging a sword?"
"yes."
"How is that possible?"
"If you hold a sword in your right hand, hold the book in your left hand. If the left hand is holding the reins. Let the soldier who followed me read it to me. β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this answer, Webb could no longer speak.
"What's so strange about this, in my time, there would be battles in the daily life of soldiers at any time, they could fight while eating, and they could hug women while fighting, and they could fight even if they fell asleep, and anyone could do such a small thing."
ββ¦β¦ Lie! β
"Of course, stupid."
Rider laughed and reached out and flicked Webb's head.
"Wow~!"
I wanted to dodge, but it was obviously impossible to do, my hands and feet were already tired enough just by holding on to the steel bar, and Webber couldn't even rub his sore forehead, only screamed.
"But young master, everyone will laugh when they hear this kind of joke, but seeing your pale face and dull eyes, you are too timid."
Rider laughed heartily. But the magician didn't bother with this, and the pain in his forehead made his tears begin to fall down. He regretted letting this Heroic Spirit be a Servant.
"I want to go home...... I want to go back to the UK...... (Where the hell did Sauron go?) Come and help me! οΌβ
"I told you not to be so anxious. Look, there's a situation. β
ββ¦β¦ Huh?"
Rider pointed solemnly to the park in front of him.
"I just noticed that, too. In this park, it seems that there is another Servant, and he is not hiding his breath, and our target seems to be slowly approaching him. β
"That, then ......"
"It seems that both of them are going to the opposite port, and it seems that both sides are ready for a fight."
Rider was still smiling, but at some point there was a beastly sharp and wild light in his eyes. Although it is still only a spectator, the heroic soul of the heroic spirit Iskandar is now finally returning to the battlefield.
Webber was still controlled by the fear of being on a high ground, and to be honest, he just wanted to be back on the ground, as long as he could get back to the ground, and he would do whatever he wanted......
Adjacent to the eastern part of the waterfront park is a warehouse street, which also has harbour facilities and separates Xindu from the industrial area further east. At night, there is almost no one here, and the dim lights illuminate the streets, making it even more empty.
And this is the perfect place to conduct a duel between the Servants.
Saber and Alice Phil walked down the wide four-lane lane like a brave duelist, while the enemy stood boldly in the middle of the road, and the strange appearance of the other party and the strong magic he exuded showed that the other was an unusual being.
With two guns, one long and one short, this Heroic Spirit's job manager is Lancer, at least on the surface.
The two talked like ordinary people meeting for the first time, such an opponent deserves respect, but the battle is inevitable, in order to show respect, it is the choice of both sides to fight with all their might.
