Chapter 300: An Invitation to the Three Kings' Banquet
Just when there was a moment of silence on the field, a rough voice reached the ears of everyone present.
"It's hilarious, guys."
“Rider?” Artoria subconsciously turned her head and saw Iskandar coming out of the shadows in the woods and Webber beside him.
Iskandar nodded at Artoria, the two had fought side by side in the port before, and they were comrades-in-arms in a sense.
At the same time, Zheng Shu also slowly descended from mid-air, and when he was about to land, he put away the two huge cloaks behind him, and the whole person fell straight down.
Boom!
The dull sound of landing sounded, and the next moment, almost everyone's attention turned to Zheng Shu, who fell in the center of the battlefield.
“Berserker!” The voice of Sakura came from the side, and she ran to Zheng Shu's side the moment she landed.
"Master." Zheng Shu's face covered by the visor smiled, but because there were too many raised spikes on the armor, Zheng Shu only carefully touched Kirizakura's head and did not choose to pick her up.
At this time, everyone had already seen Zheng Shu's current state clearly, the battle armor on his body was so bright that there was not even a trace of scratches, and there was no trace of wear and tear, and it didn't look like he had just carried that terrifying attack.
Compared to Gilgamesh's embarrassed appearance, Zheng Shu looked like he had just finished his warm-up exercise.
When Zheng Shu and Jian Kirizakura turned their eyes after greeting each other, the other servants present all unconsciously became nervous, in their minds, Zheng Shu's image has even begun to change in the direction of nightmares.
Ignoring Artoria and Gilgamesh, Zheng Shu set his sights on Iskandar, who had just arrived.
Zheng Shu originally thought that the other party would have no mount after he smashed Iskandar's ox cart, but now that the conquering king was followed by a tall black horse that looked unusually majestic, it seemed that he would be called out as a Rider rank for no reason.
And Zheng Shu's gaze also made Webb's calf start to cramp, and Iskandar touched his beard a little helplessly.
"I didn't expect the Berserker of this Holy Grail War to be able to keep his sanity, no wonder I have a feeling of being in the middle of a plan when fighting in the port." Feeling the surging battle intent on Zheng Shu's body, Iskandar also felt a little distressed, "But...... Berserker, do you want to end this war once and for all this evening? It's a nerve-wrack, I was going to find a chance to have a party with everyone, after all, it's not a common opportunity to bring heroes from different eras together, but if you thought so, Berserker, you probably wouldn't be able to have a party. ”
Although he seems to be just a rugged man, this man who can leave the name of the conquering king in history naturally has his own unique charm, so he was able to conquer various heroes of his time to serve him.
Just like now, even in the face of a completely invincible enemy like Zheng Shu, Iskandar still showed his demeanor and open-mindedness.
Zheng Shu was not in a hurry to kill Iskander, in addition to Zheng Shu was also curious why he sent out an invitation to the banquet in this situation, the most important thing was that Iskandar had actually come here a long time ago.
When Kiritsugu Aenomiya discovered Hassan and was about to use the assassin to kill Sakura, Zheng Shu had already discovered Iskandar's traces while keeping an eye on Hassan from Baekjang.
At that time, he had already taken Webb to the vicinity of the battlefield, but he did not show up immediately, but stared closely at Hassan in the dark.
Zheng Shu could feel that the magic power had been gathered on his short sword, and if Hassan wanted to assassinate Sakura, even if Emiya Kiritsugu did not change his mind, I am afraid that this assassin would have to face Iskander's attack.
But fortunately, at the critical moment, Emiya Kiritsugu finally changed his mind and did not go crazy like in the original book, so Zheng Shu also saved the need to use cruel means.
Although with Zheng Shu's covert care, even if the Assassin really did it, it would not be possible to achieve results, but Zheng Shu still accepted Iskandar's love to protect his master.
So when he was talking at length, Zheng Shu didn't interrupt his thoughts, just stretched out a hand to play with Sakura.
Seeing that Zheng Shu didn't react, and was still just standing in place with his master, Iskandar didn't get angry, but directly shifted the target to Artoria's body:
"Saber, to be honest, I never thought that the famous Knight King was actually a woman before I met you, and I was really shocked to see the sword you were holding."
Artoria frowned, but before she could speak, she saw Iskandar laugh and turn her head, looking at Gilgamesh next to her:
"Archer, judging from what you just said, you should be the legendary king of Uruk, since you are also a king, do you want to join my banquet?"
"Banquet? In this case, you actually want to have a banquet? What an interesting miscellaneous ......" Speaking of this, Gilgamesh suddenly paused, glanced at Zheng Shu, who seemed to have no reaction next to him, and changed his name in a stiff tone, "...... What a funny guy. ”
After saying that, he seemed to feel that his attitude was too weak, and Gilgamesh's eyes turned red again.
Iskandar didn't pay attention to the provocative tone in Gilgamesh's tone, but laughed heartily.
He lifted his cloak and spread his hands as if to speak: "Berserker's bravery must have been recognized by everyone, and it is undeniable that he must have been a famous hero in any era." It's no exaggeration to say that if he had been in my time and joined Darius, I would have become historical rubbish. ”
"Rider, what the hell are you trying to do?" Artoria's brow furrowed.
She admits that the Berserker's force is indeed otherworldly, but does it have anything to do with the banquet that Iskandar is talking about?
"Don't you understand what I mean? Knight King. Iskandar smiled, "To put it simply, I've already admitted that I can't beat Berserker now!" ”
Iskandar's decisive show of weakness attracted the attention of everyone present, and the ones who could be summoned by the Holy Grail were all famous heroes in history, who could almost be called the pride of the sky in their own time, and they were definitely the existence at the top of the crowd.
Now Iskander is admitting defeat so easily, which really breaks people's previous impression of servants.
"Humph! I thought it would be an interesting guy, but I didn't expect it to be just a coward who gave up so easily. Gilgamesh's taunt was duly spoken.
"Then according to Archer, do you think you can beat Berserker on your own?" Iskandar retorted unceremoniously.
"Humph!" Gilgamesh's face was rather ugly, but he did not refute it.
Even no matter how stupid a person is, he can see the scene of the battle just now and know very clearly that the few people here really can't beat Zheng Shu.
"So!" Iskandar tapped his palm, then looked at Zheng Shu, who had become a little impatient standing in place.
"Berserker, since you still have your sanity and have deliberately unleashed your fighting spirit to draw us here, you must be ready to end the Holy Grail War tonight. I'm willing to admit your bravery, but I think it's a shame! ”
Iskandar's voice suddenly raised: "After all, all of you here are heroes of different eras, and we can only get together by taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but what we can do between us is to fight each other, which is really regrettable!" So, I have a proposal for that...... Let's have a feast! ”
Artoria and Gilgamesh both showed thoughtful expressions when they heard this, Artoria was okay, Gilgamesh was originally disdainful of such a thing, but Zheng Shu used absolute power to reverse his cognition, making him understand that there were also existences among these servants that were comparable to him, or even far surpassed him.
As for Zheng Shu...... He's in a daze, and he's in a state that's probably similar to how a player feels when they meet a cutscene they've seen so many times but can't skip it.
Although it is theoretically true that Zheng Shu can use his absolute force to forcibly stop this plot, but in this case, the next "copy" will be gone.
If the main goal is to collect impact factors, according to Zheng Shu's experience, it is best to go through as many "plots" as possible and change the results to a certain extent.
In this way, although the number of impact factors that can be obtained by a single "plot" is not as large as the number of impact factors obtained by directly subverting the plot, if a complete set of "plots" passes and finally reverses the ending, more impact factors can be obtained.
Just like the situation in Group C, Zheng Shu killed all Yusheng Ryunosuke and Gildere in two clicks, and the number of impact factors obtained can only be said to be average.
But if Zheng Shu chooses to follow them all the time, constantly hindering them from killing, and finally completely killing the Sea Devil and Guildray on his own when summoning the Sea Devil, the impact factor that can be obtained may even exceed ten percent of the collection progress.
However, for Zheng Shu, sometimes getting more impact factors is not attractive at all to make his mood more comfortable, so he will directly kill the two scumbags in Group C.
However, Zheng Shu is very interested in this banquet, after all, the foul-mouthed Gilgamesh has been almost educated in physics, and it is estimated that nothing bad will happen at the banquet.
Even if he just watched a few people brag in the past, Zheng Shu estimated that he could get an impact factor worth half of Group C. Anyway, as long as you delay one more day, you can prostitute for nothing, so why not.
“…… The Holy Grail War, which takes place here, is essentially a ritual to select a person who will eventually succeed. In this way, in fact, we don't need to shed blood at all, as long as the heroic spirits can understand each other's patterns, they will naturally find a better answer......"
When Zheng Shu came to his senses, Iskandar was still giving his speech.
Although it didn't take long, his speech seemed to have moved many people, including Gilgamesh and Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been stinking faces.
Zheng Shu was a little surprised that Iskandar had such a good eloquence at first, but if you think about it carefully, in addition to the real amazing force, most of the people who can make a name for themselves in history must have matching brains and personality charm.
To be honest, Iskander's personal strength is really miserable, if you really calculate it, his individual combat power is probably the penultimate in this Holy Grail War, and the fierce competition for the penultimate position with the fully opened Baixiang Hassan is fierce.
However, in terms of life achievements, he is the most successful person in this Holy Grail War.
To be able to make such an achievement, Iskandar does have a delicate enough heart under that rugged appearance.
"So...... Berserker, what is your opinion? ”
Zheng Shu, who was caught in his own world, suddenly heard Iskandar's question about him, but he didn't answer immediately, but looked down at Sakura Makiri.
According to his thoughts, he naturally felt that it was a good choice to hold this banquet, after all, he could prostitute a little influence factor for nothing, but this time Zheng Shu felt that it still depended on Sakura's opinion.
After all, the reason why Zheng Shu took the initiative to cause this battle was because he promised Sakura to dispose of the remaining servants, and if Sakura didn't agree, then Zheng Shu didn't recommend directly firing the servants present to kill them.
Iskandar also saw Zheng Shu's movements, and naturally guessed what Zheng Shu meant immediately with his thoughts, so he added before Ma Kiriying answered:
"O Berserker Master, don't you want to prove that your Berserker is the strongest?"
Sakura Maki decisively fell into the "pit": "Berserker is definitely the strongest!" ”
"Then it looks like you've agreed to him at this banquet." Iskandar's face had a triumphant smile.
"Hmmm! Berserker will definitely win! Sakura also clenched her fists and cheered herself up.
"Old fritter ......" Zheng Shu's face under the armor was twitching.
Looking at Iskandar's honest-looking face, he once again confirmed the fact that people should not be disguised.
(PS: Kavin, card's desire to die, I have to re-sort out the plot, see if I can add it tomorrow.) )
(PS2: Don't ask me why I didn't write the whole speech about Iskander, because I didn't have the skills, so I had to be vague.) Then again, if I had the skills, I wouldn't be chatting with you here now.
