As night falls in Fuyuki City, the local residents who have been tired from a long day drag their tired bodies back to their warm homes.

After 0:00 a.m., there are hardly any pedestrians on the streets of this small town.

Lu Xiao lurked in advance near the mansion purchased by Emiya Kiritsugu to observe the situation.

The Japanese-style courtyard chosen by Emiya Kiritsugu is very similar to the workshop that Lu Xiao bought.

The courtyard is also overgrown with weeds, and the old wooden buildings that have not yet been renovated are decaying, and the faint light from the outside can be seen from the outside.

There is also an abandoned hut in the corner of the courtyard, from the angle where Lu Xiao is, you can see a large amount of dust accumulated in the warehouse, obviously no one has used it for a long time.

With Eagle Vision turned on, Lu Xiao could capture two figures in the mansion, which should be Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuso Maiya, and the spiritualized Artoria and Red A could not be directly observed through Eagle Vision.

However, with the intuition given by Spiegel's inherent skill of stopping water, Lu Xiao could roughly feel the sense of threat from the roof of the main house and the courtyard door.

"Da~Da~"

The regular sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground came from the distance on the avenue in front of the Japanese garden, and a lemon-headed young man in a dark blue coat looked leisurely, approaching the Emiya Mansion without hurry.

The golden lemon head looked quite arrogant, and his hands behind his back looked very confident.

“Saber。”

"My lord, command."

Kenneth stretched out his hand from behind him and pointed at the gate of the palace, "Go ahead, rest for a day, you should already be ready to deal with Lancer, right?" Don't let me down again. ”

Holding the twin swords, Dilumudo broke away from the spirit and half-knelt in front of Kenneth, and firmly assured: "Please rest assured, this time, Dilumudo Audina will definitely present you with a victory." ”

"Heh~ I hope so."

Kenneth didn't bother with Saber's assurances, his face flickering as he played with a slightly deformed brass-colored bullet in his hand.

"Origin bomb, a mere heretic can actually use his own origin as a guide to make this kind of dress that poses a mortal threat to magicians, Emiya Kiritsugu......

At the same time as Saber appeared, Artoria, who was guarding the gate, also broke away from the spirit and rode his own mount to watch Saber turn around.

"Lancer, meet again."

Dilumudo sank his body and put his weight in a fighting posture: "I'm sorry, this time I won't keep my hand anymore, and the battle of knights should come to an end!" ”

In order to prevent Don Starlien from having room to rush up, Dilumudo relied on his A-level agility attribute to take the initiative to get close and maneuver around Artoria, and the sword light drawn by the two swords blocked the opponent's movement route.

Dilumudo, who was also a knight in front of him, has his own set of tips on how to contain a charge from his mount.

"Bell! Bang Bang Bang! ”

The sound of the metal collision between the twin swords and the holy spear sounded one after another in a small area, and Artoria, who was targeted by Dilumudo, was indeed more uncomfortable.

Due to the terrain and enemy blockade, Don Starion struggled to find space to sprint, and was a little restrained by Dilumudo's quick sword combos.

"Whoosh!"

A cold arrow suddenly shot from the roof of the mansion, and the target was not Dilumudo and Artoria, who were in a fight, but at Kenneth, the lord standing on the street.

"Ding!"

As Kenneth prepared for defense with the Moon Spirit Liquid, a small crossbow arrow flew out from one side and hit the side of the Cold Arrow, deflecting its flight trajectory and plunging Kenneth's protective Moon Spirit Essence into the ground.

As Kenneth dispersed his defenses to re-observe the battlefield, a shadow in red coat flashed from the roof of the Emiya Mansion.

"Bell!"

The red-clothed heroic spirit with two short knives in his hand was entangled with the black figure that flashed out of the shadows, and the snowy sword collided with the short knife that attacked and defended freely one after another.

Kenneth looked at the red-clothed Heroic Spirit and narrowed his eyes, "Sure enough, as the Assassin said, the Einzberen family summoned the eighth ...... in violation of the rules No, the ninth Heroic Spirit. ’

Red A's basic attributes are not high, and most of his combat abilities come from his own magic and treasures, as well as his rich combat experience and skills that have crossed the battlefield countless times.

Lu Xiao can suppress Red A with his strength and agility in hand-to-hand combat, but it is not easy to defeat him in a short period of time.

When the head slashing knife was blocked by Red A's overlapping double knives, Red A's feet suddenly took a huge force and trampled the dirt in the courtyard into deep marks.

Using the small skill of vibrating the double knife to bounce Lu Xiao's knife away slightly, just as Red A was about to rush forward and take the initiative to attack, the sudden cold made him subconsciously stop his movements and instinctively dodge to the side.

"Buzz!"

In a short period of time, the second force of the knife cut off the corner of Red A's clothes, and slashed the edge of his body dangerously.

With the heart and eye skills that have been tempered on the battlefield, he narrowly escaped the catastrophe, and when Red A landed and regained his footing, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.

Vigilantly pulled away, and from the brief confrontation just now, Red A recognized a fact.

He can barely cope with the opponent's excellent martial arts with his combat experience and skills, but the gap between the basic attributes of the two sides will be difficult to bridge.

"Kendo?"

Red A looked at Lu Xiao and questioned, "Assassin, which era are you a hero?" I have never heard of any Hassan in the past who used Eastern Kendo. ”

Lu Xiao looked at Red A with some astonishment: "Alayah didn't tell you?" ”

The corners of Hong A's mouth twitched slightly: "I'm sorry, my irresponsible boss only told me that there are enemies that threaten human history that need to be eliminated, and he didn't explain your specific information clearly." ”

"Ha ......"

Lu Xiao shook his head amusedly: "Poor tool man, it seems that you are their last attempt in a short period of time." ”

Regaining his momentum, Lu Xiao regained his serious demeanor, and withdrew the sword into the long scabbard and bent down slightly.

"I'm not obligated to tell you where I came from, Guardian, take it!"

Using the shrinking footwork to teleport to close the distance, Red A could only feel a flash in front of him, and the Assassin had already appeared in front of him at a distance of about one meter.

"Secret Sword: One Heart!"

Countless sword lights bloomed through the Assassin's unsheathed sword almost at the same time.

Even with the magic skill of one-on-one combat such as the heart eye, it is difficult for Red A's body reaction speed to keep up with his eyesight.

Using the dual knives to block and dodge most of the sharp knife qi, the remaining small part still hit Red A's body.

"Whew!"

The moment he staggered, blood shot out from multiple wounds on Red A's body at the same time.

Red A, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has long been accustomed to the state of being covered in bruises, and after dodging the vital attack, he seems to be completely unaffected by the injury, relying on the opportunity to cross the ground and jump onto the roof.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could stand firm on the roof, Red A had already manifested his longbow, and a series of arrows shot at Lu Xiao, who had not yet turned around.

"Ding!"

Turning around, he swept the sword, and the sword qi attached to the knife body blew all the incoming arrows away and shot them down.

"Bang!"

Before Lu Xiao could retract his posture and regain his breath, a heavy gunshot suddenly sounded from the residence, which was the WA2000 sniper rifle of Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Humph! The rats who are indiscriminate are finally willing to show up. ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the two Heroic Spirits of Einzberen were entangled, Kenneth also circled around the mansion.

When Lu Xiao raised his left arm to resist sniper bullets, Kenneth's Moon Spirit Liquid took the initiative to attack and poured into the mansion everywhere.

"Da Da Da!"

A barrage of machine-gun fire signaled the beginning of tonight's fighting.
