"Gilgamesh... It's a pity that his master is not heroic. So, you're going to have to come on, little master!"

The huge bear paw slapped heavily on Webber's thin shoulder, ignoring the boy's screams like killing a pig.

"Is the battle over? Seeing that the battlefield had finally calmed down, Alice Phil pulled Artoria's armor and asked. From the beginning of the battle, she had been a little frightened, partly amazed by the great power of the servants, and partly worried about Artoria's safety.

Although she had enough faith in Artoria, it was one thing to believe, and quite another to instinctively worry.

"This kind of thing is going to ask which black guy over there. Hearing Alice Phil's question, Artoria replied with a calm look in her eyes. She is not afraid of any fight, and the stronger her opponents, the more they can arouse her fighting spirit.

It's just that, glancing at Alice Phil next to her, she was a little worried. "Ellie, be careful, if Berserker attacks, I will fight him more than before, and I will lead him elsewhere so that it doesn't affect you. It's just that there are other enemies here now, and I'm afraid they'll attack you. ”

"Probably not?" whispered Alice Field, who was a little unsure.

"It's just a precautionary measure, Rider on the surface now definitely won't, and neither will Lancer, but his master is not necessarily, and there must be other combinations in the dark, so it's better to be careful. After looking around, Artoria continued, "Ellie, you must be able to contact Kiritsugu, right?

"yes, how do you know Saber?" Alice Phil was a little surprised, these things had never been told to the other person.

"Have you always treated me like a fool?" Artoria was a little displeased with Alice Phil's question.

"Ahh I'm sorry. Smiled a little embarrassedly, Alice Fell said sincerely.

"Forget that, you contact Kiritsugu right now and ask him to keep an eye on your safety. Use the Command Charm the moment you're attacked, and get me back to you. The expression was a little serious, Artoria really didn't want this gentle and generous woman to be hurt, she really wanted to protect her.

"Well, thank you Saber. Looking at Artoria, who had a blank expression, Ellie smiled even more happily.

She could know that the more powerful the Heroic Spirit was, the more they resisted the spell, the more they hated the absolute command. But Saber was able to make such a request for her safety, and she felt the other party's desire to protect her, and she was happy.

...................................

"Hah

Although it looked quite painful, Yanye's face was full of excitement.

Yan Ye suppressed the remaining pain with heavy breathing, while once again borrowing the vision of magic to observe the battlefield. Now there are three men left on the battlefield. Archer is nowhere to be seen. The battle entered a brief pause.

"Hmph, haha. He laughed wildly, with an irrepressible sense of pride.

Although he also knew that Archer was not defeated. It is likely that Shi Chen realized that the war was not good for Archer and made him retreat.

But it still made him unspeakably happy, because he finally made the arrogant magician, the magician who often looked down on ordinary people like me, lose his ugliness. Yan Ye's heart couldn't stop laughing at Shi Chen and the dirty inkstone.

"I'm not a lost dog. I'm not going to let people call me an ant and so on. I can fight you and make you scared, terrified. ”

His Berserker did not budge in the slightest in front of the golden Archer, who looked overwhelmingly magical. Tosaka's magic, honed by generations of bloodlines, and Yanya's hastily cultivated magic in just one year, are evenly matched.

"This is the end of tonight's fighting. "The old enemy Archer has now retreated, and there is no reason for Yanye to endure the pain and fight again. The rest of the Servants were left to fight each other.

Just as he was about to summon Berserker, there was a sudden pain in his body, it was the Marker Worm that was sucking his flesh again. Before he could react, Yan Ye passed out and fell in place.

“...............”

Artoria and Alice Fell looked at each other and were a little speechless, originally after Gilgamesh disappeared, Berserker's target had been changed to Artoria, she had already moved away from Alice Phil, and even the battle posture had been set, but who knew that the other party suddenly disappeared in place after yelling.

Faced with this situation, everyone present was a little dazed. Artoria then returned to Ellie's side, looked at her and said, "It seems that I really won't be able to fight the whole battle tonight, and this is the end of the situation." ”

"And what is your decision, Conqueror King?" Artoria asked, looking at Rider not far away.

"There is bound to be a battle between us, but not now. Looking at Artoria, Rider said with some emotion.

"In that case, what about you, Lancer, if you still want to, then I can accompany you through that unfinished battle. Seeing that Rider had no desire to fight, Artoria asked the last man on the field.

"My master, what do you think?" Lancer asked Artoria respectfully, hearing Artoria's question.

"Hmph, retreat, that's it for today. ”

Hearing the order, Lancer had a slightly regretful expression on his face, and then bowed deeply to Artoria and said, "Knight King, we must have a complete battle in the future." ”

"Hmm. Nodding, Artoria replied softly. She had a good sense of this noble knight. She can empathize with Lancer's feelings. He nodded slightly, representing the oath of battle.

"Looking forward to fighting you, Knight King!" the duel took place at another time, and after Lancer confirmed this, the spirit vanished.

"The Holy Grail War is a magical thing. Rider said with some sighs.

"Yes, the regrets caused by the times can be made up for here!" Nodding approvingly, Artoria then looked at Rider and asked, "...... What are you here for?

Artoria looked at the last person on the battlefield with an extremely complicated gaze, and asked with deep meaning.

"Ah, I haven't thought about it carefully. ”

In the face of Artoria's question, the big man shrugged his shoulders indifferently as if he didn't care about himself.

"What kind of reason, plan, those troublesome things, let the historians of later generations find a reason for me. We heroes just need to do whatever we want and gallop on the battlefield with rolling blood. ”

"So... That's a lot of spontaneity, rider. Is this your royal way?"

Artoria was a little surprised by rider's willful words. Indeed, the so-called king is at the pinnacle of power, controlling the power of life and death, and bearing the rise and fall of the country. A king who does whatever he wants and does whatever he wants, like a rider, can only exist in legends. But then again, isn't Alexander a legendary king?

"Why? Do you think my royal way is an anomaly, Saber? Rider sneered, dismissive of Artoria's puzzled expression, maybe he was such a king.

"It's not like that, the path of the king is different. The real kings are unique, so although they don't agree with your royal way, it is also your proof of kingship after all. Since it has been praised by future generations, then there must be its reasonableness, strengthen one's own beliefs, and follow one's own path, the way of the king..."

Artoria was such a person, firm in her beliefs, and on her own path. The path of the king is lonely, because no one can share it with you equally. However, Artoria's choice of royal path is even more lonely.

Guard... A girl named the king guards thousands of people with her thin body. The responsibility on her body has extinguished Artoria's feelings, and perhaps only by indifferent to the shackles of emotions can she govern the country more rationally.

So some people say:

O king... I don't know how to ....... feelings.

"Hahaha, that's well said, Saber. All royal roads are unique, and I, as a king, and you, as a king, are incompatible. Therefore, we who have different beliefs from each other will eventually have to fight!"

The bold king laughed uncaringly, and he was able to come to the Holy Grail battlefield and have a hearty battle with the heroes of different time and space. For the king of conquest, this is a wish in itself.

"Yes, yes... That's what I expected..."

"Yes, then the Knight King, let's leave for the time being. The next time we meet, I'll stir up all the blood to fight with you. ...... Little master, do you have anything else to say?"

At the rider's feet, the boy lying on the bridge did not answer. Rider grabbed him by the collar and lifted it up to see that the diminutive master had rolled his eyes and fainted.

“...... Cheer up, you guy. ”

Rider sighed and put the master into his arms, pulling the reins of the two sacred cows tightly. The bull neighed, emitted thunder and lightning, and shot lightning from its hooves into the sky.

"Goodbye!"
