"So, Kiritsugu learned about Lancer and his master's stronghold by interrogating that woman."

Driving a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, Artoria also figured out the reason for the early morning operation through the explanation of Alice Phil next to her. In short, his stubborn master took advantage of last night's crusade against Caster and took advantage of Lancer's absence to hold his acting master, the woman named Sora.

"This is really his usual style, I didn't expect him to say such a despicable act. In fact, if he had had the courage to abandon my holy relics and summon an assassin with similar habits to his own, perhaps this war would have been won. ”

"Artoria...."

"Okay, don't worry, Ellie, I don't complain about anything. Isn't that the right thing to do? It's a great deal to be able to find the Lancer's location quickly, and I think it's time for this war to end!"

Artoria knew that Alice Fell had been worried that Emiya Kiritsugu's secret approach would make her always upright self feel uncomfortable. The woman's fears were justified, but the direction was wrong. Maybe because the men who used to surround him were all upright, so subtly he really didn't like people like Emiya Kiritsugu. But this is just the little woman's personal feelings, and it will not rise to the point of a battle of beliefs.

Emiya Kiritsugu is obviously aware of this, and if he is still obsessed with being a righteous and bright knight king, he will definitely not say this kind of kidnapping. But since he was able to tell Artoria about this kind of deed without hesitation, it proved that Emiya Kiritsugu began to understand that the Holy King was not a defender of morality, and she was a purposeful like herself. It's hard to do these things with yourself, but at least it's not a pedantic naysayer. That's enough, at least it won't make him waste too much effort on how to hide and exploit it.

Kiritsugu was right, and that kind of immoral approach didn't make Artoria disgusted. In a way, Artoria admits the necessity of such an act, because she feels that it is nothing because she has experienced the sordid of politics. But again, understanding is understanding, Artoria doesn't like people like Kiritsu after all.

"I'm relieved if you can say that."

However, there is one thing that Kiritsugu Emiya has done wrong, and what Artoria can accept, Alice Phil may not be able to accept. This is a kind woman, and Artoria is convinced that she can't be mistaken. Ellie is willing to give everything for Kiritsugu's "great" wishes, but it doesn't mean that she can fully accept Kiritsugu's style of acting. Maybe Kiritsugu could see this, too, but he thought that his wife would support him, or maybe Ellie's idea didn't make sense anymore

"I'm sorry, though, because we just beat Caster last night. And she used so much magic that Artoria must be tired too."

In fact, it was only a few hours since last night, compared to the time of the early hours of the morning. In what was arguably the largest battle since the beginning of the Holy Grail, Artoria unleashed the Sword of Oath of Victory and defeated the Caster with a city-shattering blow with her vast magical powers. That kind of big consumption is definitely not easy to recover in Alice Fair's cognition, so the woman is sincerely sorry for the move of attacking again.

"Uh-huh"

Shaking her head slightly, Alice Phil didn't need to worry too much, Artoria held the steering wheel with both hands and said very confidently: "It's okay Yo Ellie, that level of combat won't affect my strength." Although it costs a little magic to liberate Excalibur, it is still not worth mentioning for my magic power. Besides, it's easy to deal with lancer, if not the best!"

Artoria's magic is so strong that she can even rely on the magic of her master when she fully awakens the red dragon bloodline. And in terms of other attributes, Artoria is also beyond the reach of other servants, although the ability to evaluate a servant is not only based on attributes, but attributes are a very important criterion.

"So I don't care, the key is you, Ellie, can your body still hold up?"

Altoria's physical condition was naturally clear to Artoria, and she was even worried about whether the woman, who was once so weak that she could even walk, would have the strength to complete a battle.

"As long as Artoria is by my side, there will be absolutely no problem"

Seeing Alice Phil's pale face, even if Artoria was a little worried, she couldn't say anything. In fact, she did not fail to persuade the woman to give up the idea of fighting with her personally, but this idea was immediately denied by Artoria herself before it could gain a foothold. After all, whether it is safe or not has become a troublesome issue, and on the other hand, if you are by your side, at least because of the avalon in your body, it will be better for Ellie to be supported by her own magic.

Without digression, the two of them were not talking about any digressions, and according to the instructions of Alice Phil, who was sitting in the passenger seat, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL driven by Artoria gradually left the Xindu area and drove eastward, to a deserted area.

"If you go straight along this road, you will see an abandoned factory on the left-hand side. There...... It seems to be the lancer's stronghold. ”

"Well, it's probably right here."

A long time ago, when the Shinto area did not have a blueprint for a new residential town, it was probably a place like the Shoja Institute. The place, abandoned by the wave of development and forgotten by the new bustling streets, stands quietly in the heart of a small hill overgrown with lush dogtail grass.

Slowly passing through the open door into the clearing, Artoria turned off the car's engine. There was silence all around, and Alice Field, who was standing outside the car, cautiously watched the surroundings before nodding.

"There are indeed traces of magic enchantments. But the strange thing is that it seems that it has not been carefully managed, and it has begun to show flaws. ”

"No, this is the place. Alice Field. ”

Artoria, who had just gotten out of the car, instantly sensed the aura of battle against herself, and Artoria did not hesitate to take out the sword of victory of the oath. As if to verify Artoria's actions, a handsome figure with a spear suddenly appeared in front of the silent ruins.

"I didn't expect you to find this place, it seems that fate is destined to fight you, Saber!"

Because of the loss of Sora, Fang Cailancer was severely reprimanded by Kenais. In particular, the words that questioned the betrayal deeply pierced the knight's loyal heart. The humiliation of his beliefs was worse than killing himself, but Lancer could not resist anything, and he could only swallow the insult silently after vowing to bring glory to his master.

Artoria's sudden arrival was a surprise to the Lancer, who could not have come to the foremost to be able to fight the true King of Knights, and to prove his loyalty. The spearman still did not suspect that Artoria in front of him would be the murderer of his master's fiancée, after all, she had shocked him too much, and he thought that he would not be able to defeat the empress even in a dignified battle. What's more, King Arthur's prestige is too great, and his master is a beautiful woman, so in any way, the lancer will not think that they will be the despicable murderers.

But the spearmen did not expect that, although they did not do these things, they were not far off

"Maybe last night's consumption made you not in the best condition, but I finally found your stronghold, and I won't give up easily. Lancer! I'm going to get rid of you tonight!"

Artoria's whole body was overflowing with calm fighting energy, and she took a step forward. The slender and weak body gave people a sense of majesty, and this momentum was accompanied by dazzling magic and turned into brilliant armor that enveloped her whole body.

"Don't mind, you are far above me in terms of last night's consumption, I should have taken advantage"

Lancer, who felt the battle intent from Artoria, smiled heartily, and the distractions in his mind due to Sora's disappearance and Kenes' insult were swept away. Even if he knew that he was lucky tonight, the spearman didn't care at all, at the moment he just wanted to have a good fight with his opponent!

Wielding the twin guns in his hand, Lancer aimed the tip of the gun at Artoria in a defiant move. In response, Artoria took out another holy sword as well, and the battle between the two holy swords was the greatest honor and respect that Artoria gave her opponent. Because with dual swords, she will have the strongest combat power.

The morning light is faint, and the sky is reddish. In the fresh air, the two servants concentrated all their fighting energy and attacked silently and nervously. If you are a person with particularly sensitive senses, just standing in the middle of the whirlpool of the fighting spirit of the two people will feel as if you have been hit, and maybe even cause heart paralysis.

The cells in Alice Field's whole body trembled at the premonition of killing, not to mention the breath, but even the blood veins were stagnant.

Then the two sides took a step forward at the same time, with momentum like a rainbow and the sound of the same crack.

The two heroes, who have never had a chance to fight each other, finally have a chance to fight each other today, and the fierce battle is staged again
