Eighteen kilometers southwest of the container terminal where the battle took place, in the underground magic workshop of the Tohsaka family, the three masters and apprentices gathered together again. The crystal chess pieces on the table, symbolizing the lancer and the rider, had been placed at the dock on the map. position and touch each other.
"It seems that this is not a formal battle, but a discussion between allies." Kirei Kotomine maintained empathy and explained the situation on the battlefield to Tokiomi Tokiomi and Ryunosuke Ubu: "Rider summoned five Heroic spirits without ranks besieged the Lancer, while the masters from both sides gathered together."
"Is it possible to directly attack two masters?" Tokiomi Tosaka pondered, moving the chess piece representing the assassin to the edge of the battlefield.
"It's very low, because they have already formed an alliance. Once there is a foreign enemy, Servants from both sides will immediately stop providing support. Before that, the Assassin's ability cannot cause enough damage to withdraw from the war - even with Berserker." Yu Sheng Ryunosuke pushed the crystal chess piece representing berserker forward, put it together with Assassin, thought about it carefully, and then withdrew the two chess pieces together.
"If we can ask the Ancient King to take action..." Kotomine Kirei shook his head and gave up halfway through his suggestion.
Only if a heroic spirit who shows enough strength or charm appears, Gilgamesh can take action. If he is allowed to make such a sneak attack, three command spells will not be enough - they can be used in the subsequent war. to appease his murderous intention towards the offender.
Even if I explain to him the dangers of enemies uniting, he will only get an answer like "Garbage gathered together is just a garbage dump."
"Anyway, Ryunosuke, please approach the scene and put Berserker on standby. You may have a chance to take action." Tokiomi Tosaka frowned, took Assassin and Berserker's chess pieces and placed them firmly on the sign of the container terminal, and placed Rider and Lancer's chess pieces. The chess pieces collided and shook: "Kirei, send more assassins forward. If there is no chance to kill the master, proceed as originally planned."
"Okay." "Yes."

Emiya Kiritsugu was observing the battlefield with a scope.
With the help of Kuu Maiya's detective ability, he kept track of the Lancer when he first appeared on the Shinto Shopping Street. Even Kenneth, who was following him, did not ignore it. The invisibility magic he used might be able to hide it. Magic detection and naked eye observation are meaningless in front of the sniper scope specially modified by Kiritsugu. The high-gloss human figure symbolizing the operation of magic power is very clear in the sniper scope.
Lancer and Rider are discussing. If he shoots at the gathered Masters now, there is a high chance that he will seriously injure or even kill one person, but it will be impossible to escape from the pursuit of the angry Servants. Even if Saber Alt comes to help, She also couldn't handle the siege of four Servants at the same time.
Yes, four. There is no doubt that Assassin is nearby, and Berserker may also be lurking. As for the Archer who attacked Einzbern Castle that morning, he may not be here if he was severely injured by Saber Lily's Noble Phantasm.
Now Emiya Kiritsugu's advantage was that no one knew he was here, and he had helpers.
"Maiya, have you found the assassin?" Kiritsugu used the communicator to contact his assistant at another commanding height of the pier. At this time, he was caught in the gap between high-stacked containers, although the bridge crane was a better location. , but there were more than one person who would think that way - only fools would occupy it, so Kiritsugu chose the inferior location.
"From my direction, I can see a hole in the back of a container near the battle site. Assassin may be inside."
"Very good, continue to observe if any other heroic spirits are approaching."
Since this is a friendly sparring session, information may be leaked during the battle, so are assassins sent for close monitoring? In this case, it may be possible to mislead the two parties who are fighting and let them focus on the surrounding assassins. At this time, the participants must know that the assassins are not individuals. As long as one appears, they may follow a group. Then they will be vigilant and When the defense line is reduced, it is a good opportunity to take action.
And the target... Kiritsugu's scope was firmly locked on the boy who was being scolded.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary magicians, this young man named Weber being led by his own heroic spirit is a major failure, but it is not good news for the magician killer, because his actions are incompatible with the magicians controlled by Kiritsugu. It is completely impossible to have the same reaction in various situations, and the heroic spirit that has gained the right to move freely will take the initiative to protect the master. By then, the sniper gun may have been useless, and its bullets will not be able to penetrate the guarded heroic spirit. defense.
If Rider could be eliminated, without his high-speed vehicle, Kiritsugu's chances of escaping after taking action would be greatly increased. However, his first attack was a bad move. Tokiomi Tokiomi couldn't bear to make Berserker, Assassin or Fishing in troubled waters is the best option when archer takes action.
Kiritsugu thought so and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield with the scope.
178:50:11
Separated from the lane where Rider and Lancer were fighting, Kuu Maiya was sitting on another pile of containers far away from Emiya Kiritsugu. The lurking position was chosen according to Kiritsugu's instructions. He could be monitored just by tilting his head slightly. The freight exit of this exposed warehouse.
This is naturally not to warn the Servants, because they can transform into spirits to avoid surveillance by conventional means, but the Master does not have such an ability. The magician's invisibility magic can be easily discovered by Kiritsugu's modified sight, and if the Servant does not If he has the ability to "act alone", his appearance means that his master must be nearby.
Lancer's behavior can be regarded as provocative in Shiro, and it will definitely attract more than one master. Or, it is very likely that Tokiomi Tokiomi's camp will send people to investigate, which should be another disciple who did not summon Assassin.
Kuu Maiya's task is to report him promptly after he appears, and Kiritsugu will formulate countermeasures based on the situation on the scene, either instigating a fight between the two parties, or severely injuring one party and then evacuating. Maiya is not good at analyzing this, and may propose his own However, as long as it is a strategy proposed by Kiritsugu, she will implement it without hesitation, because long-term cooperation has proven that this is the most correct approach.
"Maiya, did you find anything?" Kiritsugu's voice came from the earphones.
"No, not yet, but we can't be sure whether the assassin has left the container." Maiya turned the scope to the battlefield, where the battle between Rider and Lancer was coming to an end. The heroic spirit holding two guns defeated almost all the soldiers summoned by Rider. He was pointing something at the red-haired man on the chariot, but the exit of the vehicle was as quiet as ever.
"Pay more attention to the entrance. It is impossible for the Tosaka family to do nothing in this battle." Emiya Kiritsugu quickly answered.
"Understood." Kuu Maiya hung up the call after hearing Kiritsugu close the line.
If the enemy does not come along the main road, they may use the sewers, but Maiya has arranged bat familiars near all the sewer entrances that can enter the dock. Even the most suspicious magician cannot remove the most common bats in the sewers. Check them one by one.
"No one can escape my eyes," she whispered to herself.
"Really?"
"When-" Kuu Maiya did not hesitate to pull out the tactical dagger at his side and stabbed the young man with orange hair and a smile who suddenly appeared next to him, but before it hit the man's body, it seemed to be stuck in a sticky state. It's like a thick liquid that can't be penetrated.
magician! She immediately pulled the trigger of the gun in her other hand and pointed it towards her. Even if she could not pose a threat to the opponent, the gunshots and bullets produced would alert Kiritsugu. It would be better if it could alert the Rider and Lancer who were fighting.
But the expected gunshot did not sound. Kuu Maiya found that the thing in her hand had turned into a terrifying black at some point, with blood-red lightning stripes wrapped around it. The person holding the muzzle of her gun was completely black. The figure exuding unknown magic power fluctuations is of course...
Before Maiya could think of any way to warn, he had already received a heavy knife blow on the back of his neck, and could only slowly fall down on the container with an unwilling expression.
178:34:19
"Ah - Sa -"
On the riverside far away from the container battlefield, a roar like a beast suddenly sounded. Following the roar, a figure covered in ominous black mist rushed straight towards a blond woman wearing a black suit standing by the river.
"Huh? Wait?" A surprised voice came from the position where he rushed out, where it was Uyu Ryunosuke who was carrying Kuu Maiya who was in a coma: "What, you found King Arthur?"
Berserker picked up a fallen tree during the attack. In the next moment, it turned into a huge black weapon with bloody lines, and viciously smashed it at the blond woman in front of him who seemed to be unresponsive.
Cha—buzz—
"Huh?" None of the dodge, parry, or transformation actions expected by Ryunosuke Uyu appeared. The blond woman in the black suit—let's think it was Saber—just raised her hand and threw something like a box. , Berserker's terrifying weapon disintegrated and dissipated, and the Berserker, who was originally unable to have will of his own, stood stunned on the spot.
In the emotions coming from the magic link, Ryunosuke even felt some kind of twisted joy, which was simply unbelievable for Berserker, who was originally filled with hatred.
"Oh, isn't this Sir Lancelot?" The blond woman turned around. Her very oppressive appearance and the pressure from her pair of golden vertical pupils like a giant dragon almost made the dark figure unable to move: "It seems that you may still agree with the ruling methods I adopt."
"Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Berserker suddenly took two steps back as if waking up from a dream, then rushed towards the pile of materials on the side of the road and picked up two logs.
"I see, you are not the noble Sir Lancelot who firmly opposed my approach even in the end," Saber Alter sneered: "A knight who is bound to rebel is like a curse."
"Ah-sa-" The berserker turned two logs into unknown weapons again and charged towards Saber.
"In that case, let me free you from this sad wish." Saber held his hands by his side, and a vortex filled with black and red appeared there, and gathered into a weapon that Ryunosuke could see just by looking at it. The bloody sword that feels endlessly ominous.
As soon as it appeared, it began to absorb a large amount of darkness from the surroundings, so that the area around Saber began to light up.
With this sword blow, berserker will definitely die.
Ryunosuke Uyu turned around and ran away without hesitation, while focusing his magic power on the command spell on the back of his hand.
"[Oath and Victory——]" "In the name of the Command Seal, berserker immediately appeared by my side and led me to escape back to Tohsaka House with all my strength——"
