19 Beast-eared huntress

When night falls, the residents of Fuyuki City disappear from the streets early, and everyone stays in their homes except for some drunken and merry-gokers in the bars and nightclubs in the central shopping street in front of the new town.

After all, this is not a bustling big city, ordinary people don't have so many activities at night, and even the most fun-loving young people are probably tired of those few entertainment venues.

However, under the cover of night, a certain special group of people in Fuyuki City began to come alive - not thieves, magicians, magicians!

"Chu Xuan, can you accompany me to the beach for a walk later?"

In the warehouse area of Dongmu Harbor, Alice Field, who was wearing a white fur hat, leaned into Chu Xuan's ear and whispered to him.

Alice Phil, who had been kept in the boudoir, had not been able to leave the city of Einzbelen even during her honeymoon, nor had she seen the sea with her own eyes, and although she knew that the Holy Grail War had now begun, she still hoped to make some memories during this time if possible.

"The first night, it should be fine.

Unfortunately, the temperature is already very low now, and it is not suitable for entering the water at all, and when the Holy Grail War is over, you will have the opportunity to experience the fun of Xia Yue Beach. ”

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and said very seriously.

"Well, thank you."

Alice Phil smiled softly at her husband and shrank back.

Although Chu Xuan's words were mostly to comfort her, she always firmly believed that if Chu Xuan obtained the Holy Grail, she would definitely be resurrected, and she would definitely be able to meet her husband and daughters again!

"We're hiding here, Saber, and watch out for sneak attacks and ranged attacks."

"Yes."

Chu Xuan, Alice Phil and Artoria turned left and right, and came to the largest warehouse 300 meters away from the port area, and they could directly see the location of the largest warehouse through the gap between the warehouses with the naked eye.

The distance in a straight line was 300 meters, which was already within the reach of a bow and arrow even in ancient times - even if it was a projectile, if Tosaka Tokitomi summoned an archer, it would be quite dangerous to peek into the warehouse at such a close distance.

However, in that warehouse, the Assassin Semiramis is supposed to be holding a ceremony to assemble the Noble Aerial Garden, and if she is not interrupted now, when the Noble Phantasm is condensed, Semiramis as an Assassin will have the magic ability of a caster, and become an impregnable aerial magic battery.

If Emiya Kiritsugu had investigated the details of the freighter earlier, Chu Xuan would definitely have asked him to intercept the ship in advance and throw all the materials that made up the treasure to the bottom of the sea.

And now, despite knowing that Tosaka Toshitomi and Yanfeng Qili Master and Apprentice also had a servant, and that the servant was likely to be an archer, they still had to take the initiative to attack the warehouse where archers were stationed.

As for why he had to destroy the wood, stone, ore and plants in the warehouse, Chu Xuan gave a very classic reason - although he didn't know what the enemy's intention was, no matter what the enemy wanted to do, we just had to destroy it.

Emiya Kiritsugu very much agrees with Chu Xuan's "informal" approach, although the reason for the destruction is only "unwarranted", but this is enough, Tosaka Toshitomi made such a suspicious move at this time, it is basically impossible that it is not related to the Holy Grail War.

What's more, the destruction of that warehouse will not cause civilian casualties, and the loss of property has nothing to do with ordinary people, and Emiya Kiritsugu will not hesitate when he starts.

- Even if it hurts innocent people, it is permissible if it is to obtain the Holy Grail, which can save all people in the world.

Revolution is not a dinner party, but a bloody sacrifice, and although Emiya Kiritsugu may not have known the great man of China, he has always remembered this truth.

"There's no hidden servant around here."

Artoria closed her eyes and carefully felt the fluctuations of the magic, and then reported softly to Chu Xuan.

Although this detection method was not so easy to use—especially when facing an assassin who must have the Aura Occult skill, Chu Xuan could actually be sure that the Assassin was staying in that warehouse right now, so he didn't use his "Evil King's True Eye" to detect magic fluctuations again, but directly started to act.

"Black Wizard Girl" Mana quietly appeared in front of Chu Xuan, waved her hand at him, and then took advantage of the cover of the night to slowly fly from the sky towards the largest warehouse.

In order to prevent the hideout from being discovered, Chu Xuan ordered Mana to fly to the side for nearly a hundred meters under the cover of the warehouse before rising into the sky and heading towards the target.

Although Mana was an elf and could not communicate with Chu Xuan with words and words, she could understand Chu Xuan's words, and in the sky more than 100 meters away from the roof of the warehouse, Manna stopped.

Looking at Mana's movements, she really found the Archer guarding the roof of the warehouse, but the strange thing is that the eyesight of the servant as an archer will be enhanced, and it is unlikely that she did not find the "caster" flying in the night sky with a moon, but this archer did not make any movements, was it because of caution, or disdain?

Although Chu Xuan couldn't use the elf's perspective to observe the archer, he asked Mana to carry a high-resolution wireless night vision camera for the military.

Thanks to modern technology, Chu Xuan saw Archer on the screen of his laptop.

Surprising ...... Or as expected, it was not the glittering hero Gilgamesh who was "basking in the moon" on the roof of the warehouse, but a female servant with a black longbow taller than her.

The servant had a pair of beast ears on top of her head and a tail behind her, but she didn't seem to be an orc.

If Chu Xuan's previous inference was correct, then this beast-eared beautiful girl should be the huntress "Atalanta" in Greek mythology, she is used to letting the enemy take the lead, and then she can act after confirming the enemy's actions - that is, when running, she will definitely let the opponent run first.

If it was this archer, fighting in the port area full of warehouses and containers would be at a disadvantage for Chu Xuan and them, because Acadia, the hometown of Atalanta, has endless lofty mountains, and she can jump and play among the rocks like an antelope.

And in the legend, as a princess of Arcadia, she ended her adventure, and when she returned to her hometown, her father, who had no male heir, wanted to recruit a wife for her, so the goddess Artemis swore an oath of chastity, and she declared that she would only marry the one who won the race, and the one who lost to her would die.

In race after race, she defeated many suitors, and even if she let them run first each time, she was able to quickly outrun them and shoot them to death with a bow and arrow, until Hippomenes threw the golden apple of her dreams during the race, and Atalanta lost by picking up the golden apple.

It can be seen that this servant is very good at moving in complex terrain, and the straight-line dash speed is also extremely fast, and she is a hunter with long-range attacks, whether it is chasing while fighting, or retreating while fighting, she is definitely a good hand when she plays "kite flow", and is no better than Gilgamesh with "fire coverage".

However, because of Atalanta's "aesthetics", if Manna didn't take the lead, she wouldn't take the initiative to attack Manna, so Manna retreated the same way after completing the reconnaissance mission, and pressed the wireless night vision camera in her hand to the place designated by Chu Xuan, and then Chu Xuan directly took back the card.

Just a few seconds after Manna suddenly disappeared, a golden light flashed and shot through the camera, and Alice Phil, who had been hiding behind the warehouse 300 meters away with Chu Xuan, quietly shrank her shoulders, and Artoria couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Although Chu Xuan couldn't see Atalanta in the hidden position, he could see the place where Manna had placed the camera, the golden light had dissipated just now, and the arrows that were part of the treasure had disappeared, leaving only the destroyed camera.

After confirming Archer's identity, Chu Xuan gave up the advantage of taking advantage of the complex terrain and the high-altitude surveillance of the black wizard girl Mana, approached the warehouse from the blind spot of Archer's line of sight and forcibly protruded, turned his head to Artoria and asked:

"Saber, will you be able to destroy that warehouse by liberating Excalibur's real name here?"

"Destroy the warehouse?"

Artoria frowned slightly, she didn't like this kind of wanton destruction of civilian facilities, but there could be no civilians in that warehouse, and it was the archer who guarded the warehouse, and Chu Xuan's choice was understandable.

"If you just destroy the warehouse, you're fine, but you won't be able to destroy the Archer.

Even if she had to protect the strategic materials in that warehouse, she would have to retreat when confronted by my excalibur. ”

Artoria knew very well what Chu Xuan actually wanted to ask, and directly gave her prediction results.

"Chu Xuan, have you already guessed the true identity of Archer?"

Alice Phil saw that Chu Xuan had decided to make a trick so quickly, so she also interjected curiously.

Chu Xuan nodded, then pushed down his reflective glasses, and said indifferently:

"If my guess is correct, it should be the Greek mythological huntress Atalanta.

She is extremely fast and able to move through difficult terrain, and if we don't eliminate her while she is on the warehouse, we will have to pay a much greater price to deal with her when she starts using guerrilla tactics in the future. ”

Because there was no need to explain in detail to Artoria and Alice Phil why he had only seen Atalanta's appearance - at most, he could guess her real name by seeing her shoot an arrow, so Chu Xuan had no scruples about telling his guess. (To be continued.) )
