Chapter 237: Prepare for battle
"Now that everything else has been arranged, I'm going to show off my preparation as well!"
Facing the expressions of doubt, surprise, or expectation around him, Emiya Shirou put the suitcase he had carried in his hand on the table in front of him.
After opening the suitcase, Emiya Shirou took out a cloak from it and displayed it in front of everyone's eyes.
"Dangdang!"
"This is the equipment I have for the three warriors who will fight the Queen, the Guardian Cloak!"
"Guardian Cloak!?"
Excitedly taking the cloak containing all kinds of mysteries from Emiya Shirou's hand, Astolfo put it on his body curiously, and asked with a smile: "Is this guardian cloak any use?" ”
"Of course it works, this is a prop I made specifically for Semiramis!"
Taking out a Guardian cloak from the suitcase again, Emiya Shirou explained earnestly: "As the Assassin of the Red Side, Semiramis has an inherent skill called the Dual Rank, which allows her to work part-time with Caster's rank!" ”
"And in the Hanging Garden, her magic ability can be almost enhanced to the realm of magic, which is very tricky!"
"However, the most noteworthy thing about her is the name of the most ancient poisoner, and it can be seen from this title that the other party definitely has extremely powerful methods of using poison."
After handing the Guardian Cloak to Corres and pointing at Frankstein, Emiya Shirou took out the last Guardian Cloak and walked to Atalanta's side.
Therefore, to sum up, Semiramis's means are none other than magic and poison! In terms of magic, there is Astolford's treasure to deal with, and if you are poisonous, you can rely on this cloak. ”
"Through special means, after processing, I have increased the poison resistance and magic blocking effects in the raw material Holy Relic Cloth to the maximum."
"Among them, especially the resistance to poison, with the effort I have put a lot of effort, its poison resistance is absolutely trustworthy!"
"Coupled with the healing power that comes with it and the support of the Master, I think you will be able to complete your mission!"
With that, Emiya Shirou draped the Guardian cloak in his hand over Atalanta's body and tied it for her.
Cowles on the side did the same, tying a cloak for Frankstein!
"That's so easy to use, isn't it? Thank you for your help, Shirou! ”
After listening to Emiya Shirou's explanation, Astolford smiled and thanked him.
"If you want to thank me, let's do it!"
"Hmm!"
...
As time passed, everyone came to the place where they were ready to set off.
This time the battle is divided into two groups, the first of which is Joan of Arc and Charon, who are the bait group.
At that time, the two of them will fly in a group of planes and invade the Sky Garden head-on to attract Red's attention.
And the four of Emiya Shirou invaded the Hanging Garden through other means.
With the launch of the aircraft, the battle officially entered the war phase.
Just wait for the two sides to meet, then the war will begin!
Unlike Joan of Arc and Karon, who flew on the plane, the four Emiya Shirou were also divided into two groups.
Among them, Astolford drove the Hippogriff to carry Frankstein.
And Emiya Shirou is Edgeworth, holding Atalanta!
"Master, is there no other way?"
"Be considerate of me, Atalanta! How can there be a sword that can make two people stand down! ”
With his eyes open and talking nonsense, Emiya Shirou manipulated the equipment under his feet with his magic power, and followed Astolford's back closely.
And at this moment, the radio that was held in Atalanta's hand suddenly sounded.
"We're already very close to the Red Stronghold, so be sure to take cover!"
"Don't worry, Charon, it's you, don't be defeated by your disciples! You've got to win! If you lose to the apprentice, it will be a shame for the master! ”
"Ah, that's right. Although my life is long, I have never lost to my apprentice once. Well, I'm going to win now. ”
"Come on! Charon! ”
Listening to the conversation between Astolfo and Charon on the radio, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but smile.
What a statement in line with Astolford's character!
"Come on, guys, towards our victory!"
...
At the place where the Great Chalice is held at the bottom of the Hanging Garden.
Shakespeare, who had witnessed Shiro Amakusa enter it, suddenly heard the voice of Semiramis reading.
After a brief conversation, Semiramis suddenly asked.
"Wait, Caster, I'd like to ask you a question first. Is the end you expect from our lord to be glorious? Or is it a failure!? ”
Shakespeare almost burst out laughing at this, but in the end he barely endured it.
"Of course it's an honor."
"I think you know, but I'm going to tell you a word of caution. If this plan is thwarted because of the book you wrote, I will surely hold you accountable in the most painful way possible. ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured. I was just told this by the Imperial Master with a spell. Oh, that's a shame, no, I certainly didn't intend to write about tragedy in the first place! ”
"Hmph, who would believe what you clown says. Listen, Caster. As a writer, your value can only be reflected in the books you write. Then, the moment I judged that the book was not good for us, my reason for keeping you alive was gone. ”
"Allow me, then, to ask you a question. Empress, what do you want? Do you want our master's wish to be fulfilled, or do you think it would be more interesting to trample on his wish? ”
As if he had been poked in the spot, Semiramis suddenly held his breath.
"Of course, I got my wish. Because the servant is the existence that serves the master. ”
"Oops."
In Shakespeare's response, there is a very clear dissatisfaction.
He is undoubtedly the weakest of the currently surviving servants, but he has never been afraid of anyone.
That's just a false answer! Assassin, do you want to see the ruin or don't want to see it, please be honest! ”
Shakespeare asked again.
Semiramis, who had been stabbed with the blade of language, understood that this was a serious question from the Joker.
In this case, the empress must also give a sincere answer.
With an unprecedented attitude of concentrating all her nerves, peeling off countless heavy hypocritical cloaks, the empress finally said the truth:
"I don't deny that I want to see it. Because I have no interest in kindness and tolerance, and am a woman of disillusionment and despair. ”
"I have seen both the tragic and tragic final defeat of the king who boasted of his power, and the despair of the brave general in terror. However, the despair of the saint has not yet been seen. So there's no doubt about the fact that I 'want to take a look'. ”
"Huh!"
Semiramis laughed.
"But there's another thing I want to see, and that's the scenery that the man longs to see from the bottom of his heart."
"Relief for humanity. It was simply not a scene that ordinary people could think of, and no matter how heroes and saints had given up. After all, I am also an existence standing above ten thousand people, and I have seen all kinds of things such as miserable, gorgeous, ugly, and incorruptible. ”
"But this is the only one I haven't seen. Maybe I'm bored. There is also the possibility of a hopeless, dry and boring ending. However, that will have to be seen. ”
"I see. In other words, the Empress did not want to see that ending out of sheer curiosity, not out of loyalty to the Lord? ”
"That's right. Of course, I also have a desire to 'dominate'. But more importantly, how far that man can go, and what kind of scenery he can see, is what I am looking forward to now. ”
It's like a child begging for a toy!
Shakespeare finally swallowed this sentence back into his stomach.
He knew that if he said that, he would probably be killed.
"You seem to be about to say something bad, but a man like you is really sorry that you can hold back. I'll forgive you for your silence. ”
Poof.
I felt like I was disconnected.
It was then that Shakespeare remembered that there was something he had forgotten to ask.
"Oops, I should have asked if I could add an empress's love story if I knew about it. So, what should we do? Forget it, just write it down by the way. It's going to be a big hit, absolutely. ”
Shakespeare took the paper from his bosom and made notes on it with a rustle.
The empress has fallen in love.
Semiramis had only been talking before, and if she had been here, I'm afraid Shakespeare would have died!
But this is also inevitable, after all, the empress at this time is sitting between the kings, waiting for Black's attack!
