My name is Lin Hao,
The four assassin kings are coming~

At dawn, along with the rays of the rising sun, appeared in the Emiya residence stronghold, there was also an alarm that the protective barrier was being invaded on all sides.
Although battles between magicians have a confidentiality rule of "not being discovered by ordinary people", and they generally do not fight in the daytime, the breath blocking ability of the Assassin class allows them to easily operate in the daytime, even if ordinary people without magic power If you don't take a photo of them immediately when you see them, you will forget them in the blink of an eye.
The mansion purchased by Emiya Kiritsugu is located on the edge of the busy city. It is a location where no one usually passes by, but if something abnormal happens, it will be very noticeable and easy to reach. As a result, when being invaded by Assassin, you need to consider not to cause any trouble. It was the defender who made the big noise.
"Have you started?" Saber Lily had already put on her silver light armor and was on guard in the courtyard holding a golden sword, with Lin Hao and Irisviel beside her.
Caster should control all warning and counterattack barriers in a certain barrier center. Arturia paid attention to the surrounding movements while watching the real-time dynamics conveyed to her by caster in some unknown way.
Since the opponent is an assassin who is good at hiding and penetrating, they must first leave the room where it is easy to hide in shadows and visual blind spots and go to the open courtyard. In this way, unless they escape, they cannot easily approach the two masters, but if they really Doing so is no different from throwing yourself in front of the muzzle of a magical cannon called caster.
Then there are their attributes. Although the individual assassins are very weak, the four in this attack are the so-called "four kings" who can explode with A+ ability in certain attributes. [Gozir of the Strange Arm] has and Rider The power of a head-on fight, [Swift Markul] is fast enough to suppress Kiritsugu who has activated the inherent time control, and [Basic Zaid] is extremely durable. He was stabbed three times by the Lancer before he was completely dead after being wounded. [Melty of Hundreds of Appearances] With her magic power, she can easily detect magic traps and be immune to low-level magic attacks.
From Artoria's point of view, there is a circular transparent miniature map in the corner of the field of vision that does not affect the overall situation. It shows the terrain around the mansion, the range of influence of the magic barrier, and the "abnormalities" moving within it.
In the past, Einzbern's castle had a large area that needed to be defended and guarded, so it used central control nodes. The nodes were expanded into a barrier layout, which could be connected to the magic circuit to obtain detailed intelligence, and could also be used when needed. Sometimes the magic power of other nodes is extracted to specific locations to deal with powerful enemies, but for this stronghold that is just a courtyard facing the river, that kind of design is completely unnecessary. Only three or five enchantments can completely cover all the houses here. Feedback is also more responsive.
At this time, Saber Lily can see through the miniature map that there are four light spots that are exploring the periphery of the barrier, trying to penetrate deeper, but they are temporarily unable to break through the next defensive barrier and can only linger nearby.
The three brighter ones are obviously the assassins who have the advantages of strength, agility and durability, while the remaining light spot that disappears and appears should be the magic enhancer that can avoid detection to a certain extent.
"They just can't make up their minds now. Caster's defensive barrier is not of the type that blocks entry. It will continue to carry out magic attacks after the enemy enters." As if seeing Artoria's doubts, Lin Hao explained. .
Use traps to weaken strength, create negative status, and then give it to Saber to finish the damage. Caster's strategy this time is fair and aboveboard, but even if the Assassins guess it, there is nothing they can do. Even the magic enhancer is completely unable to deal with barriers and traps. Thinking of this, Arturia turned her gaze to the dim light spot that appeared and disappeared.

Emiya Kiritsugu sighed deeply as he faced Kaifune.
Because the shining golden aircraft was too obvious. It was parked at the foot of the mountain where Kenneth's camp was located. It was disguised simply using magic or simply to deal with it. Not only myself, but anyone with a little magic talent. Everyone can see it, as if it is announcing to everyone that "the king is here."
The shining golden heroic spirit ruined his plan again. Kiritsugu took out a cigarette with a slight distress, completely ignoring that the current location was a deciduous forest that could easily cause wildfires.
Kiritsugu had no intention of staying away from the mountainous area where Kenneth Mansion was located. After driving the too eye-catching G550 back to the garage in Fuyuki Shinto last night and confirming that there were no observers, he quietly sneaked into the mountainous area again.
There is no doubt that Tokiomi Tosaka will attack Kenneth's workshop. From the insinuations during the meeting last night and the Lancer's pursuit of Kirei Kotomine afterwards, it can be seen that the Assassin in the girl form has some special ability. It is the focus of the current conflict. Even if Tokiomi Tosaka is willing to give up this heroic spirit, his disciple named Kotomine Kirei will not agree.
The location where Kiritsugu is at this time is the only way to go up the mountain on foot. With his endless investigation methods and Saber Alter's keen perception, neither Kotomine Kirei nor Uyu Ryuunosuke with the berserker can do anything. Avoid the passage of his perception, and whether you kill them or capture them, you can tilt the victory of this war to your own side.
But who would have thought that the arrogant archer would directly use his inexplicable flying machine to carry Kotomine Kirei here?
Through the sniper scope, Kiritsugu could clearly see the edge of Kagushu. Kotomine Kirei was talking to Archer. Although he didn't know what they were doing, he knew that he was ambush because the aircraft had no intention of landing. It completely failed. Although you can still ambush Berserker, but even if the opponent is restrained by Saber, there is no guarantee that the battle will be over within a few minutes. If the Archer's attention is attracted by then - no one wants to be attacked by a hostile Archer who is very far away from them. Notice.
"Retreat or attack by force?" Seeing Kiritsugu put away the sniper scope, the black-clad Saber wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked.
"...No, let's move to a position where we can observe the spaceship and the mansion at the same time. There is still room for intervention in this battle." Kiritsugu glanced at her and began to move first.
Although Kiritsugu was very dissatisfied with his Servant's addiction to junk food, he had nothing to say because she did not affect any actions because of it. Not only were the remains of the packaging boxes and other things properly disposed of without leaving any clues, but she was never seen eating. Walking, eating and talking at the same time, this rude behavior is worthy of King Arthur?
However, the white one who is currently staying behind is just a little bit worse, and once cooked the rice...

"Oops, ma'am! Kiritsugu was discovered while he was in ambush!"
In the Emiya Residence stronghold, Arturia was nervously observing the penetration of the defensive barrier by the assassins, but suddenly she found the battered Maiya Kuu staggering outside the residence.
Although Irisviel asked her to find Kiritsugu before, why did it become like this?
Before Artoria could think clearly, a certain light spot on the "assassin radar" sprinted towards this direction. Judging from the speed, it should be [Swift Macul]. Maiya, who was seriously injured and escaped, didn't know this. Being besieged by assassins!
The pure white girl knight immediately raised her sword and rushed over to support, but before that, a short assassin had appeared behind Kuu Maiya and slashed him down without hesitation.
puff--
Although Kuu Maiya sensed something was wrong and tried her best to dodge, the slash still opened a deep wound in her back, and blood immediately spurted out like a broken faucet, but with the power of this slash, Kuu Maiya rushed into the protective barrier in time.
Being intercepted by Saber who finally arrived, Makur simply turned around and left after several attempts to break in failed.
"Irisviel?" Artoria raised her sword in warning and retreated towards the center of the courtyard with the seriously injured Kuu Maiya.
"It's okay, this kind of injury is not fatal." Saber Lily breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed that Irisviel and Lin Hao started to perform healing magic at the same time.
But Kiritsugu was discovered and Maiya was so seriously injured. Was it because Archer and Berserker teamed up to attack her? I don’t know how long the other self can last——
"What happened to you just now, Kiritsugu? Are you in danger?" Irisviel asked anxiously from behind.
"Black Saber successfully fought off Berserker, but was seriously injured by Archer's sneak attack. Kiritsugu took her and hid her," Kuu Maiya paused before continuing: "That golden spaceship - Archer is riding it to find Kiritsugu."
That golden spaceship that was shot down twice by myself and my other self combined? Artoria raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Kenneth's Mansion. The familiar golden shape was just floating there. It seemed that just as Caster had said, there were a lot of them in the treasure house of the Ancient King.
"Where is Kiritsugu hiding? Can he get back in time?" Irisviel continued to ask behind him while treating him.
"This, that was the assassin just now. If you come out directly..." It seems that he has improved a lot with the help of healing magic, and Kuu Maiya's voice no longer sounds weak.
"Then I'll set up a soundproof barrier." Saber heard Lin Hao say.
...No, wait? First, Assassin made a surprise attack to alert himself to the outside, then used Kiritsugu's news to attract Irisviel's attention, and then asked Lin Hao to set up a barrier on the pretext of keeping it secret. Although there was a caster monitoring the outside, the inside was completely undefended? !
While saber Lily sensed the other party's situation through the inexplicable connection with saber alter, she turned around to observe the suspicious "Kuu Maiya".
The feedback from my other self is - "I forgot to put ketchup in this family bucket"? !
Oops! When Artoria turned her sword and charged towards "Kuu Maiya", she had already taken out the dagger and stabbed Irisviel who was close at hand with lightning speed.
