There was an uninvited guest at the kings' banquet, no, not one, to be precise, but a group of ...... STRANGE WHITE OBJECTS APPEARED IN THE MOONLIT COURTYARD, ONE AFTER ANOTHER, PALE FACES LIKE COLD DRY BONES, SKULL MASKS AND BLACK ROBES, AND THE WHOLE COURTYARD WAS GRADUALLY SURROUNDED BY THIS STRANGE GROUP - ASSASSIN.

Rider and Webb weren't the only ones who knew they were alive. Saber and Alice Fell also learned about this during their conversation with Kiritsugu on Warehouse Street. The Assassin wasn't just the one who was killed at Tosaka Mansion in the first place. The truth is that there were several Assassins involved in the Holy Grail War, but that number was unusual. They all wore masks and black robes, and their physiques were different. There are giant men, there are emaciated types, there are short childlike people, and there are women's figures.

“…… You did it, right? Gold Pickup. Rider asked, staring at the Assassins with a solemn face

"Who knows, I don't have to figure out what those mongrels think." Niang Shishuang shrugged her shoulders innocently.

Since so many Assassins have been mobilized, it must not be Yan Feng Qili's order alone. Presumably this was the intention of his teacher, Tosaka Tokitomi. Because Shi Chen did his courtesy to the hero king, Niang Shanshan also recognized him as a master. And Shi Chen's behavior made Niang Shanshan more and more dissatisfied with him. Although this feast was initiated by Rider, it was Niang Shin Shin who provided the wine. Sending killers in such a banquet, what did Shi Chen want. This is tantamount to smearing the face of the Hero King, does he know?

"Hehehe, the scene is really chaotic now, there are so many assassins." Ashmida chuckled and threw his head back from the glass.

"What's going on?! How did Assassin go one after the other...... Isn't there only one Servant per class?! Seeing the enemy approaching, Webb let out a sigh that bordered on screaming. Alice Phil was nervous and hid behind Saber, looking at the Assassin in trepidation.

"You're right, we are servants with the whole as an individual, and the individual in it is only a shadow of the whole." Seeing the wolf appearance of their prey, the Assassins couldn't help but laugh evilly.

Neither Webb nor Alice Phil could understand. The Assassin summoned by Yan Feng Qili was actually this kind of peculiar existence. Ashmida nodded, multiple personalities, the golden saints of Gemini for generations have been tormented by their own dark side, which is similar to multiple personalities.

"The Old Man of the Mountain" -- Inheriting Hassan in the Generations. Only one of the people of the terrible name of Sabaha has the ability to change the flesh. Unlike other Hassan, he did not make any modifications to his body. Perhaps it can be said that there is no need for this, because although his body is mediocre, his spirit can make the body transform freely. He can have excellent strategy, can know foreign Chinese, can identify poisons, or can set traps. In short, he is a versatile assassin who can automatically switch abilities based on the needs of the mission. It is said that sometimes he can use strange powers and agility that his physical body could not possess, and use the illusionary martial arts that have long been forgotten. He can disguise himself as a man, a woman, or a child. Standing next to you very naturally. Sometimes he is even able to change his personality depending on the occasion, so that no one can reveal his true identity. But no one knows the truth. Although Hassan has a single body, he has a different soul.

Based on the knowledge at the time, there was no such thing as multiple personality disorder. In modern medicine, this is defined as a phenomenon of mental illness. To the assassin Hassan. Sabaha, on the other hand, is a mysterious "ability". He is able to use a variety of knowledge and techniques with his cohabitants who inhabit his body, confuse his enemies with different means, weave a web of defense, and kill his target in a way that no one could have predicted.

And the Assassin who was summoned by Yan Feng Qili this time is the assassin known as "Variety". He is a Servant who has a body but also a myriad of souls. Fundamentally speaking, "they" are originally different souls, and because they have lost their physical restraints, "they" can completely materialize into different forms after they appear. Of course, their total spiritual power is only "one person", and their ability value after splitting is definitely not comparable to the rest of the Heroic Spirits. However, because of the Assassin's proprietary skills, this group can be said to be invincible in detective activities.

"Do you mean...... We've been watched by this bunch of guys to this day? Alice Fell muttered bitterly, and Saber shuddered. Although the other party is not strong enough. But they were able to sneak in, and there were so many of them that even if she was the most combative of the Servants, it was quite a threat.

A rabble that relies on numerical superiority. Saber would never lose if attacked from the front, but only if Saber was the only one facing the enemy. Now Saber has to protect Alice Phil. No matter how weak an Assassin is, it is quite a threat to humanity. Even Alice Phil, the android of Einzbelen, who can use first-class magic, can't stop the Assassin with magic alone. It was impossible for her to protect herself on her own.

Therefore, if you want to fight while protecting your companions, a large number of enemies becomes a very urgent problem.

How many Assassins can Saber stop with a single sword? - No, it's not a question of how many people can be stopped. At this point, even if one person is missed, that person can cause serious trauma to Alice Phil. Therefore, the question now is not "whether it can be stopped", but "whether it can be solved with one blow". And the number of Assassins surrounding them is desperately large.

From the Assassin's point of view, they also have a final resort. Even if it is a group, it is a group with a limited number of people. Sacrificing most of the sacrifices in exchange for a small number of survivors to achieve victory is tantamount to suicidal behavior, so it is a killer tactic that can only be used in the final battle. The Assassins are Servants who have been summoned for the Holy Grail, and they can't stand being used as pawns of the Temptors and Archer - but they can't defy the Command Curse either. For tonight's action, Yan Feng Qili used a spell that ordered them to "win even at the cost of sacrifice." The Commands are categorical to the Servants, in which case they have no choice but to follow the commands. Although they were happy to see Saber, who was known as the strongest, change his face, but in fact she was not their target. The designated target of attack is Rider's master. Although the Rider has a powerful Phantasm, its destructive power is directional, and if the Assassin attacks from all directions, it will surely be able to attack the cowardly short Master.

Yes, this was a dangerous moment for the conquering king Iskandar. However, at this moment, such a burly giant man was drinking very leisurely, and at the same time drinking a glass for Ashmida, who was also drinking and had already finished drinking. That leisurely appearance did not take the many assassins present in mind at all.

“…… Ri-Rider, hey, hey......" Even though Webb shouted in frustration, Rider still didn't move. He looked around at the Assassins, his eyes still calm.

"Hey, little ghost, don't be so wolfy. Isn't it just that there are guests at the banquet, and the wine is still drunk. Rider replied to Webb's words without looking back, and glanced at the assassin casually.

"Where do they look like guests!?" Webb was a little embarrassed by Rider's nonchalant tone, and he banged Rider's burly back with tears in his eyes, complaining loudly.

"It's just a bunch of rats, don't be so nervous, BOY." Ashmida smiled faintly and comforted the nervous boy.

"Hahahaha!! That's right, it's just a group of assassins, you don't need to be so nervous, you still have a lot to learn, little master! Rider laughed and patted his master's thin shoulder, but it seemed a little too hard, and Webb was rolling his eyes by now.

"I said, guys, can you restrain your ghostly spirit? My friend was terrified by you. Rider laughed and patted Webb on the shoulder, then faced the Assassin who surrounded him, and he greeted with a dumb expression.

"Do you want to invite them to the table? Conquer the King. Saber thought he had misheard, and even Archer frowned, and Ashmida paused slightly, then laughed and nodded slightly.

"Of course, like I said before. The king's speech should be heard by all the people, and since someone has come to hear it, it does not matter whether it is an enemy or a friend. Rider said calmly, scooping out the bottle of wine with a handle and reaching out to the Assassins. Come, you're welcome, if you want to drink together, just fetch your own cup. The wine is with your blood. ”

Boom - a piercing sound answered Rider. All that was left of Rider's hand was the handle of the spoon, and the spoon had partially fallen to the ground. It was done by one of the Assassins, and the wine in the spoon was scattered on the floor of the atrium. At the same time, several throwing knives were shot at Ashmida, apparently in retaliation for Ashmida's previous claim that they were rats. Although the speed of the throwing knives was very fast, and there were a few of them, Ashmida said that this was not enough, so he just casually stretched out his right hand to catch all the knives and threw them into the loop.

"Woo! Well! With a few muffled grunts, several of the assassins on the roof of the building fell from the building, each with a throwing knife stuck in their hearts. Immediately, the assassin took a posture at the same time, staring at Ashamida as if he were facing a great enemy.

"Hehehehe...... Hahaha!! Seeing this, Ashmida finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, he laughed at the stupidity of these assassins, these rats, only noticing himself and ignoring the greatest threat.

"......" Rider looked down at the wine scattered on the ground speechlessly. Although he had been silent, the majesty that emerged from him was getting heavier and heavier, and Niang Shining also showed a playful expression, looking at it with great interest, Saber protected Alice Phil behind him like a great enemy.

"-Don't say I didn't warn you." Half-loud, Rider spoke, Rider's tone was still calm, but it was clear that the feeling had changed. The only people who noticed this change were the two people who had been drinking with him before. "As I said, 'this wine' is 'your blood' - isn't it? Since you let it spill on the ground, then I'm ......."

As soon as the words ended, everyone felt that the surrounding scenery was on the side, and the wind and sand replaced the quiet garden. The sun scorching the earth, the clear sky, and the horizon blurred by the sand. There is no obscuration as far as the eye can see.

"How is that possible...... can actually embody the scene in my heart...... You're not a magician!? Alice Phil pointed at the rider in shock and shouted.

"Of course not, how can I do it alone." Iskander, standing in the midst of the wide barrier, smiled proudly and denied. "This is the land that our army once traversed. The warriors who have shared the weal and woe with me have this scenery firmly imprinted in their hearts. ”

"The world can be reproduced because it is imprinted on the hearts of each of us." In Iscadal's proud words, in the stunned eyes of everyone, the embodied cavalry appeared around Iskandar one after another. Although they are of different races and equipment, their strong bodies and brave knights all show the strength of the army.

"Behold, my peerless army!" Full of pride and pride, the King of Conquest stood in front of the cavalry ranks, raising his arms and shouting. "Even if the flesh is ruined, their heroic spirits are still called, and they are the warriors of my faithfulness in legend. Travel through time to answer my call to eternal friends. They are my treasure! It's my king's way! The strongest treasure in Iskan - 'The King's Army'!! ”
