Chapter 25: The Redemption of the Knight King

In the roar of artillery fire, the city was already burning. Dust? Edge? Wen? Learn? Net

Thick black smoke rose in all directions, and the explosions and screams of countless people were just embellishments for this grand carnival.

"How can this be ......"

Artoria stood a little dazed in the streets under the night sky, looking at the city that was burning in all directions, as if she didn't know why, the city that was fine during the day was immediately reduced to a place of war at night.

No, in fact, Fuyuki City is chaotic enough during the day, but it's also more like a small fight, although there are constant conflicts everywhere, but most of them are local battles.

And after all, they also take care of the city security personnel, and often the police cars run away as soon as they come.

But now, the air battle in the sky is like fireworks.

The war on the ground also seemed to involve large-scale firefights, with a lot of tanks, tanks, armor-piercing shells, etc., and just now there was artillery fire roaring and bombarding the entire street.

Compared to the daytime, this is already completely torn apart, and it can be said that the people involved in this Holy Grail War are doing their best to destroy the others. At this time, let alone the local police force, I am afraid that even if the American GIs come, they will be able to fight as such.

For example, during the day, it's just "GAT5", no matter how noisy it is, it's just a local skirmish, and most of the city is still calm and natural.

However, on this night, it has become "The Road to Survival", no matter where people run, it is impossible to see a peaceful city, and Fuyuki City has fallen into a state of total madness.

At this moment, the Knight King saw a bright thunderbolt pass through the sky, and the Divine Wheel of the Conquest King Iskandar flew unabashedly over the chaotic city.

Her keen eyes were sharp enough for her to see clearly that the expression on the face of the burly and rugged man was more serious than ever, as if he was going to battle.

However, the other party did not look in the direction of his place, and he was also not interested in the fierce battle in the sky, but ran in the other direction on the chariot of the sacred cow, as if there was only an unknown enemy in that direction left in his eyes.

Alice Phil...... Let's get out of here as soon as possible! ”

Clenching her silver teeth hard, Artoria shook her head to shake off the inexplicable emotions in her mind, and turned to look at Alice Phil not far behind her. They had been attacked just now, but instead of Servant, they looked more like magicians.

In other words, it's a character who has mastered special abilities like a magician.,It's very weird.,I've never seen it before.。 However, it is difficult to easily defeat the other party in a state like where he can't even release the treasure in a state like this.

If those people continued to attack, she was a little worried that she might not be able to protect Alice Phil.

Artoria wouldn't have been so worried on a normal day, but tonight the whole city was clearly in turmoil, no place was safe, and her instincts had been warning that something bad was about to happen.

In fact, it's already happened -

As soon as Artoria turned around, she saw Alice Fell biting her lower lip lightly, her hands in pain. Sensing the knight girl's gaze, she looked up with a troubled look on her face, as if she was about to say something.

The next moment, this noble woman who would make most people can't help but feel good suddenly shriveled and fell to the ground.

"Alice Phil!" Artoria felt her heart stop beating and rushed at unimaginable speed, catching her before she could fall straight down.

"Sorry, Saber, for causing you trouble again......"

The princess, dressed in a silver-white dress, smiled slightly helplessly in the knight's arms, but as if she had a little bad taste, and then said in a tone that seemed to be nothing to do with herself.

"Really, I thought I still had a little time, at least a few more days, but really...... I didn't expect this moment to come so quickly, and I was a little unwilling. ”

Because of the intervention of the reincarnation, the plot has long collapsed, for example, the sea demon was not summoned, and for example, the king's feast was not held, and for example, ...... Now, the end of Alice Phil's life is approaching and coming.

As an elaborate android, everything about Alice Phil exists for the Holy Grail, both physically and mentally. As a little grail, as long as the soul of the Servant who withdrew from this Holy Grail War will flow into her body.

And as the Servant's soul continues to accommodate, her "Holy Grail Vessel" will also reach its limit, as long as six Servants leave, then she will come to the end of her life-

She lost her personality and completely collapsed and decomposed, leaving only the Holy Grail that had been conceived from her body.

If it were the usual Holy Grail War, the exit of the six Servants would already indicate that this Holy Grail War had come to a complete end and reached the final step, so this moment would naturally not come so quickly.

But this time in the Holy Grail War, how to say it, the six Servants have withdrawn from the game, and it is just a concept that not enough people have died......

It's not like Alice Phil is about to collapse and decompose, but it's a sign that the number of Servants who may have left the scene is approaching the death figure of "six", and she is gradually losing her mobility.

I didn't want to say these things so quickly, but I really didn't expect a big battle to break out tonight, dragging the entire Fuyuki City into the flames of war, and pushing myself on the path of destruction......

……

……

It was as if something had woken up from the darkness, and suddenly a dazzling ray of sunlight appeared ahead.

The air was suddenly filled with a fiery aura, and the shocking magic power converged, causing the yellow sand earth to spread rapidly in all directions. The gloomy night sky suddenly turned into a sky that seemed to be a gale blowing hot sand, and the earth began to rise with heat.

Flying over the city, Musiu, who was following the direction of the conquering king, stopped.

He blinked, subconsciously reached out and fished a handful, and actually grabbed a handful of yellow sand that had been scorched by the sun.

"The mental landscape affects reality, and the will of countless people creates an inherent enchantment? This is...... The king's army? ”

Without the slightest hesitation, he moved on, and then in just a moment, the world in front of him changed dramatically.

In front of him was an army of cavalry with high morale, and the majesty of the majestic emperor who stood proudly in front of it.

The King of Conquest is on the chariot of the sacred cow, overlooking the entire battlefield, full of ambition.

Countless Heroic Spirits formed a military force behind him, all of them clenching their weapons, putting on armor, and coming across time and space to follow behind the King of Conquering, each with an expectant expression on their faces, but not a word.

And on the opposite side of this imposing army, 10,000 cavalry, reduced to moving corpses and walking bones, assembled "Elephants of the Dead".

The brave ancient king of Persia is facing him from afar, and he is also full of unshakable fighting spirit.

……

……

Alice Phil smiled apologetically at Saber and stuck out her tongue.

"How can this be ......"

Artoria, who was kneeling on the street with her arms in her arms, showed a very complicated expression of remorse, and she slammed the ground next to her, so that the whole ground shook slightly for a moment.

I should have noticed it a long time ago, but I really thought that the other party was just unwell.

If it was really what the other party said, she could never have imagined that the pleasant time spent with Alice Phil today and the smiles of the two would be her last good memories of this noble princess.

And there is no way to stop it, it is impossible to recover, even if she lifts the sword now to fight hard, it can only accelerate the self-destruction of the other party.

"It shouldn't be like this, this Holy Grail ......"

The Knight King gritted his teeth and was about to pick up the girl in his arms, "If this chalice is dyed red with your blood, I'd rather not have it - Alice Phil, you hold on, and I'll take you to the church to seek refuge......"

Seeking refuge in the Church is tantamount to voluntarily giving up this Holy Grail War.

But does this really change anything? Alice Fell gave her a slightly troubled smile and was about to say something to stop her.

At this time, the voice of the communicator sounded, and it was a call from Emiya Kiritsugu.

Artoria immediately seemed to have found the backbone, quickly picked up the communicator, and with the last hope, quickly told the other party what had happened and her own judgment.

Then, there was silence on the other side, and then the man's rather ruthless voice came, giving a rather ruthless orderβ€”

"I see, but continue to search for other Servants, and don't allow any behavior to expose yourself."

"Wait! Did you know that Alice Fee ......?"

"Alice Phil, she has no problem, you don't have to worry about this, and do you think going to church will stop this from happening?" There was no warmth in Emiya Kiritsugu's voice anymore, only an abominable creed.

It seems that even the fate of his wife can no longer affect his reason, or should it be said that he has known such a fate for a long time and has accepted such an arrangement a long time ago?

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The communication was hung up, and Artoria looked ahead in disbelief, and suddenly felt an unbearable feeling of nausea and nausea appearing in her body, which she forced to endure.

She actually knew that what the other party said was right, as long as the others didn't stop, Ellie would inevitably die, but she hated the other party's rightness - was his wife abandoned by him like this? Does he know that he is hastening Ellie's death?

"Don't worry, Saber. That's my mission, but it's a pity...... Illya may never see it again. ”

Alice Phil raised her head in her arms, smiled at her with a pure smile full of hope, and comforted her softly.

"So please, please help him to capture the Holy Grail, if he has given so much, he still failsβ€”then our children...... So, please help him, help us, help our children, please! ”

"......" Artoria looked at her stunned.

At this time, the footsteps at the end of the street rang out.

Dilumudo, armed with a red and yellow gun, appeared there, his expression was heavy, very different from the usual, and he hesitated for a long time as if he was picking words in his mind, before he said to the person in front of him: "It seems that I didn't appear at the right time?" ”

Rightfully did not answer.

Because in a trance, in this burning city and burning streets, the king of knights felt as if he had returned to the battle of the sword fence not long ago-

She was looking down at the end of Britain, at the mounds of knightly remains, desperately closing her lips, suppressing herself from crying, grief making it difficult for her to breathe.

When I came back to my senses, I was still in front of a cruel reality.

Artoria carefully set aside the woman in her arms, and the oath with a crying and nasal voice reached Alice Phil's ears.

"Well, I'll bring you victory, Master."
