"The real barrier is in front, and the real location of the castle is inside."
Little Da Vinci stopped, looked at the people behind him seriously, and asked with a serious face: "So, are everyone ready?"
Although I think there will be no problem with the tactical arrangement, Miss Artoria and the two goddess servants are the main force, and everyone knows the details of Akuko, and ordinary servants cannot be her opponent at all... In the face of such a luxurious lineup, Hercules is bound to lose.
But when things came to a close, I was still a little worried.
The so-called name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. The name Hercules is indeed too thunderous.
After all, as we all know, there are only two types of heroes in Greek mythology -
One is Heracles, and the other is others.
"Get ready... let's go!" Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath and looked around subconsciously, but did not find the familiar figure of the shield-wielding girl. Then she suddenly realized that this time Mashu did not Follow me, she has lost the power of a servant.
This is the second crown designation...
A new storm has appeared, but Mashu has turned back into an ordinary person, but he was summoned to become a servant inexplicably. What is going on?
"Then go in...I'll open a hole in the barrier." Little Leonardo no longer asked, but nodded seriously.
A corner of the barrier was broken, and a group of people quickly entered it.
Suddenly, a dreamy old castle stood in front of their eyes, indicating that they had found the right place.
"Well, so rich..." Tohsaka Rin looked at the magnificent building in front of him, which seemed to be a naked castle that showed off its wealth. He couldn't help but feel a feeling of envy and jealousy from deep in his heart. What kind of big dog is this? Why should it be so exaggerated?
"The castle is in good cleanliness and very new. It seems that it is indeed preparing for the Holy Grail War. The person we are looking for has already arrived here..."
With a sharp glance, the blond and pretty king of knights had already made a firm judgment based on his keen insight.
The castle showed no signs of being old at all, and could only be the result of recent maintenance.
"That should be the case, but it hasn't been long since the last time it was used, and this time the Holy Grail War has also been advanced..." Tohsaka Rin nodded, and at the same time he was very vigilant about the situation in all directions, for fear that he would If you don't pay attention, you will be instantly killed by the giant that rushes out from somewhere.
"It's indeed a lot ahead of schedule..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded subconsciously. Of course they knew that this fifth Holy Grail War was a full fifty years earlier than the original cycle, and they had mentioned it several times when talking to each other.
However--
Both sides subconsciously thought that the other party was talking about the same thing, so they did not discover that the Holy Grail War actually happened two months earlier than the situation pointed out in the intelligence given by the military advisor. Otherwise, , we can probably find out how big the error is.
A strange combination of circumstances, accidental collision...
Coupled with the influence of factors such as being out of state, absent-minded, etc...
All of this is pushing their boat into an unimaginably huge whirlpool. But they on the boat were unaware of this.
Just at this time--
"The magic reaction appears! It should be the servant!" Akuko said coldly, taking the lead in giving an early warning.
The sudden breath of the servant made everyone tense up subconsciously. Then they saw a figure appearing in the castle in front of them. Then they immediately noticed the situation at the entrance and headed towards it. Bian approached quickly.
Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but then he realized that the figure was very petite and graceful, not the giant figure he imagined, and it was also far from the Greek hero in his impression. As the other party approached, she was suddenly startled:
"Eh? Mr. Astolfo?"
The heroic and beautiful girl with pink hair and purple eyes walking across from her was a servant she was familiar with, the son of King Odo of England and one of Charlemagne's Twelve Paladins.
Astolfo.
Her voice and mannerisms sounded like a woman's, and her figure was slender, so she looked like she could be dressed as a woman...but she was a man.
Others were also stunned, including Tohsaka Rin. Where is the promised Greek hero Hercules? Why this one? There was a big difference between their feelings and their psychological expectations. They had the feeling of accumulating strength for a long time and then discovered that the target opposite them was cotton.
"Hey, so many people came here at once this time."
Astolfo, who was wearing women's clothing and looked like a heroic and beautiful knight, walked over happily, holding a wine glass in his hand, as if he had just walked out of the banquet venue. He looked at the people in front of him. , eyes full of curiosity:
"Has the green express lane finally been opened in the Moon Sea? I waited in line for more than an hour today..."
"..."
"..."
What does this mean?
Everyone was a little confused about this situation, and now they looked at each other in confusion. What about the Moon Sea, what about fast lanes, what about queuing, etc.?
What are you talking about?
"Hmm, why do they all seem to be new faces? I haven't seen you before. Are you newcomers who were summoned recently?"
Astolfo put one hand on his hips and held up the wine glass in the other. He bent slightly at the same time, making a girlish gesture. He seemed to be carefully studying the people in front of him, and the expression on his face looked even more curious. He also subconsciously thought that those who came over were all colleagues.
After all, colleagues one after another are coming here to gather...
In addition, the people in front of me are a bit unusual. Almost all of them, except Akuko, have the characteristics of becoming a heroic spirit, including Leonardo da Vinci, who has the properties of an artificial heroic spirit, and Tohsaka Rin has now become a pseudo-server. Positioning, even Fujimaru Ritsuka was summoned in the form of a servant.
As for Kazuko herself, although she is not a Servant, she is naturally well protected by being hidden among other people.
Astolfo naturally subconsciously assumed that these people who came over were colleagues, and because of his own reasons, he was not very reliable.
"..."
"..."
"Anyway, it seems that the person opposite is not Hercules?"
In the strange silence, Tohsaka Rin gritted her teeth and opened her mouth to break the silence. At this moment, her tone also had a subtle feeling of relief.
No matter what you say, this seems to be a good thing. The competitor waiting here is not the famous hero. This is definitely good news! As soon as she thought of this, the black-haired girl with twin ponytails took a long breath, feeling her heart pounding. At the same time, she waved her hand in high spirits:
"Although the situation has changed and is different from what you said, but... let's take down the opponent first!!"
The task becomes easier anyway, doesn’t it! !
If everything goes so smoothly, the victory of the Holy Grail War is simply waving to me?
"Eh? Are you...wait! Are you the enemy?!"
Although his rationality has evaporated to the point where he is completely unreliable, Astolfo is not really stupid. He instantly became vigilant, subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at the hostile opponent, and realized that he might have made a mistake:
"By the way, you don't have a pseudo-spiritual terminal, you are not from our side!!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Astolfo... Saber, do it." Fujimaru Ritsuka also showed an apologetic expression, even though he knew that every time he summoned a servant, he was already a different and brand-new individual. The familiar person in front of him was actually She didn't know herself, but she still felt a little sorry.
"Yes! Master!"
Arturia suddenly pulled out the holy sword, took a step forward, and at the same time released a surge of magic power, beginning to increase and strengthen her body's ability values! !
With the dragon factor, her heart itself is a giant dragon. With such an extraordinary magic furnace heart, the extent of her body that she can strengthen with magic power is undoubtedly huge, so even a poor and weak girl can have a chance to compete with Herak. Les went head-to-head.
It was already crushingly powerful, but now it was serious. It was undoubtedly determined to quickly defeat the opponent and quickly deal with it.
"Hey, hey, hey! You..."
Astolfo suddenly became a little confused. Facing the superb swordsmanship of the swordsman on the opposite side and the invisible sword whose edge could not be seen at all, he soon seemed to be overwhelmed and seemed to be clearly at a disadvantage. He soon saw that he was at a disadvantage. To be defeated.
But at this moment, an extremely shrill howling wind suddenly came from the distance——
This is the movement of flying props.
Relying on her extremely keen intuition, Artoria took the most suitable tactical action almost as a conditioned reflex, gave up the attack, and retreated. At the next moment, a red light flew over like a meteor. , crashing onto the ground between the two!
There was a deafening roar, and several people who were closer felt that the ground was shaking slightly.
Subconsciously looking into the distance, I found a majestic figure standing on top of the castle. It was him who just drew his bow and fired an arrow. He did not aim or charge. He immediately provided support as soon as he noticed the situation. But it still looks very accurate and terrifying.
"Mr. Arash!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately recognized the figure, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Well, there is another Servant? Damn it, have the Einzberns already hooked up with someone?" Tohsaka Rin's expression was also a little unpleasant, and then he subconsciously felt that something was not right. , it seems to be Archer on the opposite side?
But, but...
As Archer's goddess servant, isn't it on my body?
"The situation is not quite right. Neither Astolfo nor Arash are included in the information El-Melloi gave us... But this world should be a very close parallel world. Some deviations in details are understandable. , but how could these key parts be so different?”
Little Da Vinci frowned tightly, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"There are also the auras of the servants, not just these two..." Kazuko also frowned, feeling that there was a new magic reaction coming from the castle that was isolated from perception.
"Is there an intruder?"
"who?"
Following a few shouts, three figures walked out of the gate side by side. They all looked like tall and handsome knights with slender figures. Their figures were dazzling. However, the moment they appeared, including themselves, Inside, as well as Artoria here, their expressions all changed drastically at the same time.
"Qing Gao Wen, Qing Tristan, Qing Lancelot?"
"King, king..."
At the same time, Tohsaka Rin's eyes widened with disbelief on his face: "Why are there three more? This, isn't this five? But, how is this possible..."
There are only a few groups of players in the Holy Grail War!
Just stage a decisive battle? !
Facts have proved that the black-haired girl with twin ponytails was wrong. It was not that there were three more in the castle, but that these three happened to come out the fastest. Immediately afterwards, like poking a hornet's nest, shadowy figures appeared one after another, releasing their spiritual form and revealing their true colors.
Including the path behind Chaldea's group, all were quietly blocked by five or six figures.
"It's over, it's over..."
Tohsaka Rin's whole body felt bad, and his vision went dark.
This is a foul! This is definitely a foul! report! Must report! ! After all, what kind of trouble are these ten or twenty servants trying to make? Together they can fight three Holy Grail Wars. Why are they gathering here? Are they doing team building? !
"A strange intruder has come to our door? Haha, this is really interesting... He is not a servant from our side, but maybe a participant in the Holy Grail War in this world?"
A charming voice sounded——
"But there is no need to get too entangled with them. Just put His Majesty's plan first and annihilate them all directly. Don't let the news leak out."
"wait wait wait--!!"
At this moment, Gawain and other knights all looked anxious, and they subconsciously stopped them: "Wait a minute, you can't do this!!"
"Oh~"
The voice was deliberately drawn out and seemed a little displeased: "Do you want to... resist His Majesty's will?"
