Although he has been taking the blame, Tokiomi's strategic level is not low.
Before the Holy Grail War, he obtained the holy relic that summoned the King of Heroes and mastered the strongest card.
As early as three years ago, he and Kotomine Rimasa conspired to accept Father Mapo as his disciple, and asked him to summon Assassin, two of the seven ranks, and one was bright and the other was dark, forming a complement.
Then on the first day, he planned the "Death of Hassan" drama, making Assassin completely invisible and collecting intelligence secretly. It can be said that he took advantage of the right time and place.
From a strategic and tactical perspective, these plans are by no means mediocre.
If it weren't for his poor compatibility with the King of Heroes and his ancestral ability to break the chain, Tokiomi could easily win this Holy Grail War.
Renn did not underestimate Tokiomi Tohsaka. In fact, he could not predict everything. At least the other party's plan somewhat surprised him.
…………
"Wu Ming, I don't understand why you want the Matong family to cooperate with the Holy Church to slander you with those false accusations."
Under the dead poplar tree, a slightly hoarse voice came from the speaker of the mobile phone, and the words were full of doubts.
Ren leaned against the cracked tree trunk, looked up at the fiery clouds in the sky, and smiled.
"Kariya, there's no need to blame anyone. Even if you don't help, the Holy Church can find other excuses. Tokiomi Tokiomi and Kotomine Rimasa have colluded for a long time.
Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei are wholeheartedly promoting this matter, and other masters will basically agree. After all, this kind of thing is beneficial and harmless to them. "
There were actually no outsiders in the Matou residence last night. The only one who died, Matou Tsuruno, was killed by Kotomine Kirei or Assassin who broke in.
However, the charges listed by the church included that Ren bombed more than a dozen innocent servants and killed Matou Tsuruno.
To throw dirty water on this, the cooperation of the Matou family was naturally required. The church people communicated with some of the managers of the Matou family's properties in Fuyuki City, and finally contacted Kariya, who was currently taking refuge in a neighboring city.
"Wu Ming, no matter what, you are now the target of all the followers' joint crusade. From your tone, you seem quite happy."
On the other side, Kariya's tone was very confused. He was quite grateful to Ren, so he called him to inform him before making a decision in the morning. He was ready to refuse to help the church, but Ren asked him to agree.
This was the second time he called him to tell Renn that he had been officially punished.
In the forest, all he could see were yellow and decaying scenes. Renn glanced at some animal carcasses on the ground, surrounded by glowing blue smoke.
"Kariya, this is actually not entirely a bad thing. Now that I have become the target of public criticism, the conflicts between them that were barely suppressed in the past will intensify.
Don't think that many Masters will obey the church's arrangements. Not surprisingly, some people are already ready to stab each other. "
Ren's eyes were filled with blue light. The two spirit-sealing arrays behind him were saturated, but a newly carved six-pointed star array on his chest continued to rotate.
The vitality in the forest is being plundered crazily, and the energy of the stars in the body is devouring and digesting massive amounts of magic power, constantly moving towards more unpredictable areas.
Renn can barely be regarded as half a heroic spirit. What is different from other servants is that he has the ability to grow.
His strength can still be improved, especially when he first arrives in a new world and absorbs the unique energy of that world, his strength will grow faster.
"Maybe, but the Command Seal is a very precious thing to many Masters. As long as you dare to show up, they don't mind joining forces to kill you first!"
Out of gratitude to Ren, Kariya reminded him again.
Ren curled his lips and said, "Yeah, despite my nonchalant expression, I'm actually very panicked. I'm hiding in the mountains and forests now and don't dare to come out.
So scary, so scary... When you just informed me that I had been jointly attacked by the servants, I almost pissed myself with fear. "
"..."
On the other end of the phone, Matou Kariya was speechless. He didn't hear that Ren was afraid, but he had an attitude of fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Ren suddenly changed the topic and his tone became serious: "Friend, are you free? I need you to help me."
"Help you? Berserker has been eliminated. I can't join forces with you."
Yan Ye's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, and he was not stupid. He knew that he had been tricked by Wu Ming in this matter.
"No, no, Kariya, you misunderstood. What I need is you."
"I?"
A very strange smile appeared on Ren's face, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes, but instead he looked solemn:
"That's right, Kariya, do you still want to continue fighting the Holy Grail War?"
"What?!!"
………
Enchanted Forest, Einzbern Castle.
The red sun was setting in the west, and it was getting late. The lamps had been lit in this classical-style castle, and everyone was sitting in the hall.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.
Emiya Kiritsugu was sitting on the side with a suitcase in front of him. He was meticulously checking guns, ammunition and other equipment.
The cool-tempered Kuu Maiya stood next to him without saying a word, with no expression on her delicate face.
Opposite her was Irisviel, who was wearing a red Western dress. Because of the presence of Kuu Maiya, the expression on her face was somewhat unnatural.
Saber stood beside Irisviel quietly.
"Kiritsugu, logically speaking, now that we have temporarily ceased fighting, wouldn't it be bad for you to deal with Kenneth tonight?"
Looking at her husband who was checking the pistol, Irisviel asked doubtfully, and King Da Mao also looked at the master with a calm expression.
Emiya Kiritsugu loaded the magazine and glanced at his wife:
"The plan has been delayed for a long time. Now is the best time to take action. A truce will make people relax their vigilance."
"But isn't this against the rules?" Saber raised her eyebrows and asked.
Emiya Kiritsugu ignored King Daimao at all. It was not until he noticed his wife's doubtful gaze that he spoke:
"There are many powerful enemies. We must free Saber's left hand. The Holy Church cannot be trusted at all."
King Daimao moved his lips and finally chose to remain silent.
The reason for not mentioning the other party is because she chose to attack Kenneth. Since Hassan was exposed in advance, any fool knows that the church that once protected Kotomine Kirei can no longer be trusted.
Irisviel hesitated for a moment and asked softly:
"But will such a blatant violation of the church's truce agreement have any negative consequences?"
"No effect."
Emiya Kiritsugu closed the suitcase with a snap, stood up, and reached out to greet his assistant, Maiya Kuu.
Saber looked confused when she heard this, and Irisviel was also confused. She couldn't help but ask:
"Kiritsugu, how come this has no impact?"
Emiya Kiritsugu, who was walking to the door with Kuu Maiya, paused and explained in an indifferent tone:
"It doesn't matter. It was Caster and his Master who attacked Kenneth. They have nothing to do with the Einzbern family."
