My name is Lin Hao,
Now comes the second total war.

Ding! !
Irisviel turned her eyes away from the golden Huizhou, and was surprised to see that "Kuu Maiya" had just launched an assassination attempt, and her dagger hit a layer of ice only half a meter away from her.
This was a square ice shield that looked like a whole piece of glass. Although ice splashed after the dagger poked the surface, it was still intact as a whole, firmly and resolutely preventing it from moving any further.
"Damn it!" Fake Kuu Maiya put away her dagger and exerted force with her feet, seemingly intending to bypass the ice shield and continue attacking, but the ice shield continued to rotate in front of her as if it had self-awareness.
This is……
"Assassin?" Irisviel asked uncertainly. She was not doubting that the pretender was not an assassin, but was wondering how the other party passed through the defensive barrier without triggering the alarm - after all, she was her daughter. She gave considerable trust to the barrier she arranged.
"[Is there such an operation?]" Illya's voice came intermittently through the magic barrier, and there was some strange echo as if she was in an empty space - she was really in an underground manufacturing workshop, right? , Irisviel thought.
"[No wonder the title is 'Hundred Appearances',"" while everyone was on guard for "Kuu Maiya" who took a few steps back after missing a blow, Illya continued: "[She can change into the appearance of a specific target. , even if it is checked with a great magic that has no problem at all, it will be considered that she is the target herself.】"
"Is that why she can break into the magic barrier? Have you figured out how to adjust it?" Irisviel looked at "Kuu Maiya" with dissatisfaction. Fortunately, this assassin turned into Maiya. If it was Kiritsugu... Even if he stabbed him with a dagger, he wouldn't be able to block it.
"[Actually, there is no need to adjust...]" Irisviel noticed that her future daughter's words had a mischievous tone: "[Did you know? Kuu Maiya became the stepmother of 'Illya' Come on~】"
...?
Boom! !
Before understanding the meaning of this sentence, the ice shield suddenly thickened and expanded to the point where it could be called an "ice wall", and then in the next moment, it hit the assassin not far away at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye. , she was blasted out of the courtyard before she could react.
"[This layer of enchantment that specifically protects ordinary people is called the 'Ice Heart Lock'. It is activated based on the 'acceptance' of the target by the person who is at the center of the enchantment. Strangers cannot even approach the courtyard.]" Illya led. She explained proudly: "[Don't worry about turning into Kiritsugu, she will be discovered directly when she transforms into a master who has a magical link with the heroic spirit.]"
Therefore, if there were no mutations and mutual cooperation in this Holy Grail War, and this assassin pretended to be the master's relatives and friends, the assassination success rate should be very high. Now he can only change into Maiya... none of this matters.
"Illyasviel von Einzbern, I think you need to explain what you just said," Irisviel asked with a smile on her face, "About the 'stepmother'."
"[Uh... Well, I don't know the specific situation. None of you have come back, but Kiritsugu has settled in Fuyuki. When I joined the war ten years later, I found that I had an extra brother...]" Illya's response Seems a bit incoherent.
"Ten years later? Not sixty years? What went wrong in this war?" Irisviel always thought that Illya had gained powerful abilities after sixty years of continuous transformation and learning, and in the new After winning the Holy Grail War, it took a longer time to become what she called the "King of the End", and then traveled through time and space to appear as a caster.
Doesn't that sound like that at all now? Irisviel even put aside the "stepmother" thing and started asking about it.
"[Uh... Oops! Assassin rushed in!]" After a very fake exclamation, Illya cut off the contact.
"This child is really..." Irisviel helplessly turned her gaze to the three scarred black figures that burst into the courtyard, and gave instructions to the servants around her.
"Saber, destroy them."
71:30:16
"Rider, that is..."
Without concealing himself at all, the shining golden falcon-shaped Huizhou can be clearly seen from the second-floor terrace of the mansion, and Weber naturally has no doubts about this obvious aircraft.
It was a gray steel behemoth with a ferocious appearance, a triangular flat streamlined body, huge wings twice as long as its body, and ferocious missiles hanging from its lower abdomen. It was obviously a fighter jet that could only be produced by modern industry.
Gilgamesh was standing above the plane, looking at the rider on the terrace with cold eyes.
Although Weber was present at the Feast of the Three Kings, it was not until now that he understood the true meaning of Gilgamesh's [King's Treasure House] ability of "obtaining all 'expansions' of the 'prototype'".
"Northrop Grumman B-2 stealth strategic bomber!" Originally Webb just subconsciously asked the question, but unexpectedly, Iskandar beside him suddenly stood up and answered loudly, and the burst of fighting spirit even ignited a flame.
No, that's not the flame, it's the red armor and cape that Rider put on after taking off the black suit in an instant.
"Hahaha! It was your mistake to let the King of Conquerors see such a good thing! King of Heroes!" Iskandar waved his hand and lightning flashed, and the Divine Wheel appeared on the second floor terrace with dazzling lightning.
"I'll knock you away right now and grab it!" "Wait a minute!"
When Rider jumped onto the bullock cart, Weber reached out and grabbed his thick cloak.
"Ghost, what do you think of my conquest?" Although he was asking Weber, Rider's eyes were still fixed on the plane in the sky, as if he would run away if he blinked.
No, no, this situation is very problematic. Tokiomi Tokiomi's intelligence gathering ability must be very clear about Rider's fascination with modern military and its use of weapons. Summoning such a thing at him will easily lure Rider away. ,so……
This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"I want to go with you!" Weber grabbed Iskandar's cloak and climbed onto the chariot, then turned and quickly said to Lancer: "You can't fly, go to Teacher Kenneth and Mrs. Sola immediately to protect them. Pay special attention to whether there is anything strange about Emil."
Even if there is no problem with Emil herself, the Command Seal and her special features that have never been studied are hidden dangers.
"...Understood." As a warrior with rich combat experience, Diarmuid easily understood the meaning of Weber's words. He was not very interested in the current war machine. He glanced at the bomber again and turned around. The spirit disappears.
"Huh? Is that a trap?" Rider retracted his burning gaze on b2 and looked at Weber: "If you judge that it is not appropriate to attack, I will accept it."
"No, based on what we know about the personality of this heroic spirit, he will not set a trap out of confidence in his own strength..." Weber thought quickly while responding to Iskandar.
Gilgamesh, who stood above the B2 cockpit, said nothing. He only kept a sneer and watched the interaction between Weber and Iskandar with blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Fight it," Weber came to the final conclusion after analysis: "Do what you thought at the beginning. Even if this is indeed some kind of trap, the opponent's strongest combat power will still be trapped here."
Luna and Diarmuid can completely suppress each other's assassins and berserker, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Follow me, the king." Gilgamesh said coldly: "The battle between kings does not require the judgment of the common people."
The next moment, the B2 bomber, which should not have remained in a suspended position, soared into the sky.
71:25:48
When Gilgamesh's Huizhou arrived at the foot of the mountain, Kenneth had already woken up - although it was also because of a good dream.
He now fully understood why Caster took the initiative to help him improve his strength.
In the battle of Einzbern Castle, Berserker, who was supposed to drive the Kamui Wheel to destroy the barrier, was intercepted by Rider and Caster and was seriously injured. It seems that he has not recovered until now.
Since the barrier still existed, the assassins could not sneak into the castle, and Kenneth took Webber to sneak attack on the Tosaka residence. So the assassins who could not return to rescue turned to attack their own floating city and the incompletely decorated mansion. As a result, these two battlefields simultaneously dealt heavy losses to Assassin.
Afterwards, Rider also took away Emil for unknown reasons but who seemed to be very important to Assassin as a whole.
After this battle, the combat power of the heroic spirits controlled by Tokiomi Tosaka was reduced by two out of three, while Kenneth and the others not only retained their strength intact but even strengthened it.
As the defender of that battle, Emiya Kiritsugu's camp lost its well-protected stronghold, and the two sabers who were confronting Gilgamesh also lost their combat effectiveness. Currently, they have completely hidden themselves, although caster is still outside. Active, but Tohsaka Tokiomi does not regard them as a threat at all.
No matter how many coincidences and accidents caused this result - for example, it was Tokiomi who attacked the Hyatt Hotel first and took away the ox cart - they will have to face Tosaka Tokiomi's comprehensive attack next. , and the one who takes action can only be the shining golden ancient king.
The King of Heroes piloted some kind of modern aircraft to lure Rider away, which was indeed a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but it was still unclear whether the other party's purpose was to trip up Iskandar and take the opportunity to attack the mansion to rescue Emil, or to completely eliminate the tiger Rider.
Regardless of the specific purpose, the remaining personnel in the mansion had no way to interfere on the battlefield, because neither Luna nor Diarmuid could fly for a long time, so they could only place their hopes on Webb who was going with them.
After Lancer returned to rescue, Kenneth took Sora to take Emil to the central "control room" of the mansion. In this way, under the protection and supervision of the two masters and two servants, regardless of the opponent's remaining combat power, Whatever they want to do - such as Ryuunosuke Ubu, Kirei Kotomine, the remaining assassins and even Tokiomi Tosaka himself - will not achieve their goals easily.
