Chapter 177: The Calm Before the Storm (Subscription Requested!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
On the other hand, in the large suite of a hotel in Fuyuki City, Katov, the owner of the outsider Rider, also looks out at the clear sky.
At this time, behind him, Saber, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Kuyu Maiya were sitting around a table, busy making preparations.
On the table, you can see a detailed map of Fuyuki City, a topographical map of the mountains and forests around Fuyuki City, a messy computer cable, a laptop, and various electronic devices that cannot be named.
Forming an alliance with Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu was his plan at the beginning, because this group was the "winner" who survived to the bottom of the original work.
As long as he follows the two of them to fight to the most resounding, he will inevitably win with the help of this group of powerful "protagonist aura", in each copy, the protagonist's amazing luck can be said to be the most headache for every gamer, so there has been such a sentence in the supreme game world, "Follow the protagonist to have meat to eat, don't conflict with the protagonist and have soup to drink, if you want to do it against the protagonist, you can consider returning to the furnace to retrain." ”
Although this is just a rumor made up by some negative gamers, based on this sentence, Katov will befriend the protagonist group in the dungeon every time, and even shamelessly become the protagonist's younger brother, relying on the protection of the protagonist's aura, he passed many copies smoothly.
Only this time, although he got his wish to form an alliance with Saber, the plan became a mess because of a gamer named Rocky.
Because he vaguely felt that the protagonist of the entire "FATE/ZERO" dungeon was no longer Saber, Emiya Kiritsugu, or other masters, but this guy known as the Demon King Rocky.
Following the protagonist for a long time, Katov believes in the doctrine of luck, although on the surface it seems that Rocky also follows the development of the plot and takes advantage of the gamer again and again. Suppress the original Heroic Spirit.
But what is a little different from other players is that Rocky himself is like a person from this world, integrated into the plot, and even got the approval of Saber, Archer, and Rider, and unknowingly, became the target of these heroic spirits.
From this situation, he already felt that the consciousness that was in control of the work "FATE/ZERO" had been deceived by Rocky. Unconsciously removed the protagonist's aura from the Saber group, and instead began to protect Rocky, an outsider.
Katov began to think about this again after learning that Alice Phil had been captured by Rocky.
According to his original analysis of the work "FATE/ZERO", Alice Phil can be said to be a directional figure with the aura of the protagonist.
If you analyze it carefully, you will find out. The entire Holy Grail War, with the exception of the most reluctant "victors" Kiritsugu Emiya and Artoria. There is also a pair of real "victors" Yan Feng Qili and Gilgamesh.
Among the four. Three of them even participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War, and there is a very coincidence between the four - all of them have owned the "Little Holy Grail" Alice Phil? Feng? Einzbelen!
As the Little Holy Grail, Alice Phil can be said to be the pointing character throughout the original work, but later in the original work, Alice Phil is captured by Berserker disguised as Rider, and Feng Qili is the one behind it.
From the moment Alice Phil was captured. Kiritsugu Emiya and Saber, who were originally the protagonists, began to collapse like a collapse and began to experience tragedy one after another.
Maiya Kuyu dies, and the scar between Saber and Lancelot is revealed, even the most rear. The terrible black mud caused Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber to experience indescribable damage.
On the contrary, after obtaining Alice Phil, Yan Feng Qili suddenly became proud, easily eliminated Tosaka Shichen, squeezed out the last bit of value of the night of the Maki Wild Goose, and even after losing to Emiya Kiritsugu, who still retained some of the aura of the protagonist, he was able to resurrect because of the Gilgamesh who was contracted with him, and finally became the actual controller of the Tosaka family and the Fuyuki City Church.
These plots, which seem to have been arranged by fate, forced Katov to use Alice Phil as a weather vane.
"If you want to occupy the protagonist's aura, it shouldn't be so easy...... Even if you exchange the aura ability of the protagonist who is against the sky and enter the dungeon, it will be because of the pressure of the plane" Katov comforted himself in his heart, although Alice Phil was missing, but this stimulated Saber's combat power even more, and Emiya Kiritsugu became more unscrupulous, from a certain point of view, Rocky eliminated a burden on his side.
"Saber, do you really think Rocky will make a move tonight?" At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu put down the sniper rifle he had carefully cared for and questioned Saber.
Emiya's words pulled Katov back from his thoughts.
"Ah, I'm pretty sure, but I don't know where Rocky will be there, but I have a hunch that it's definitely not off the beaten track." Saber replied that her instincts could foresee danger, and that now, she could sense an inexplicable threat in her heart.
"Isn't there a specific place?" Emiya Kiritsugu frowned, if they didn't know the exact place of the road, for them, they were very passive, and they couldn't make arrangements in advance.
"Because Rocky's stronghold has not been found yet, it is very difficult to analyze Rocky's possible direction." Kuyu Maiya said for Saber that these days, without a fight, she was arranged by Emiya Kiritsugu
"Well, in that case, Maiya, you and I will act separately, focusing on sniping, and once you find Rocky, you will solve it by sniping at any cost." After a moment of silence, Emiya Kiritsugu began to arrange.
"Am I the vanguard, then?" Saber asked solemnly.
"That's right." Emiya Kiritsugu nodded, then looked at Katov who was standing at the window and said, "Katov, you and your soldier and Saber act together, once Rocky is eliminated, or the other way around, you can let your soldiers go on a killing spree." ”
"Do you want to use that?" Katov showed a surprised expression, that was a big killer, Emiya Kiritsugu was really a guy who would do anything to win.
"Yes." Emiya Kiritsugu nodded and said no more, but from the look in his eyes, Saber suddenly sensed what Alice Phil had said to her before she met Rocky - Emiya Kiritsugu is the kind of person who will feel pain because of 'happiness'.
********************************************************
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Fuyuki City is once again shrouded in night.
From the beginning of the evening, a thin layer of fog rises throughout the city of Fuyuki.
Not far away.
It is a wide river that divides Fuyuki City in two and leads to the sea.
Above the river, you can see a majestic arched bridge across its banks, which is 665 meters long.
At night, cars are always flowing on the bridge on both sides of the bridge in Fuyuki City, but tonight, it seems that because of the mist, there is not a single car on the entire bridge deck.
But if it's not just the Fuyuki Bridge, the entire Fuyuki City is unusually quiet now, and you can't hear anything on the road outside, then it's like the calm before the storm, and the quieter it is, the more terrifying the storm will be.
The top of the arch of the Winterwood Bridge, this is Iskandar's favorite place in Winterwood City, this is at least fifty meters of vault, if people stand on it, they will definitely be blown down by the strong sea breeze into the river, even skilled workers, they definitely dare not go up empty-handed without a safety rope.
But now, Iskandar and Webb were sitting quietly in this dangerous place.
For Iskander, this is the most suitable place to watch for Winterwood, and as the King of Conquest, he is a great military scientist who knows better than anyone the importance of intelligence.
During the day, when he learned about the "Demon King's Crusade Order", he, like Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh, had a strong premonition that tonight, Rocky would definitely take action.
And now Rocky appeared on the embankment on the side of the river, and beside him stood Caster, dressed in a rich robe.
"So, let tonight's feast begin!" Lodge said with a sneer, and at his signal, Caster slowly walked into the slow-flowing river. (To be continued......)
