With Ren's strength, facing Tokiomi's design, he could choose to break the situation violently, but he did not do so.
Probably because he was bored, he just wanted to give it a try, put himself in a relatively weak position, plot against others, compete with each other, and show off their tricks.
After all, no "god on earth" can solve all troubles with power. Wisdom and means will never go out of style, and violence is the strongest guarantee.
The side task 2 (Intelligence) specially set up by the system has its own reason. Renne will not always have the advantage.
But no matter what the starting point was, Renne's trick of "faking death to escape" was quite effective. The situation soon became undercurrent, and many people were ready to take action.
After the Holy Church announced the end of the truce at noon, it was still peaceful tonight, but all the participants in the war knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Miyama Town, the magnificent Tosaka family mansion.
Tokiomi was in a good mood at the moment, and he was quite high-spirited. After all the troubles in the early stage, the Holy Grail War finally returned to the rhythm he was familiar with.
This was all the result of his hard thinking and hard calculation, and at most a little bit of luck from that good-for-nothing Hassan.
Hassan: “…”
In short, Caster, who was very difficult to deal with, was eliminated. This was a sure win. Even God seemed to be on his side.
"Kirei, what do you think we should do next?" Tokiomi looked at his beloved disciple with a cheerful and elegant smile on his face.
Kotomine Kirei still had that serious and old-fashioned expression on his face. He pondered for a while and then suggested:
"Teacher, I think we should take the initiative now and get rid of Saber first."
"Why Saber? She's injured, so there's nothing to be afraid of." This suggestion made Tokiomi frown.
He believed that Rider should be targeted at this moment. After all, the King of Conqueror had not yet shown his face. He did not believe that the famous Alexander the Great only had an ox cart.
Father Mapo analyzed very calmly:
"Saber is the strongest class and should not be underestimated. The murderer who bombed the Hyatt Hotel last night was Emiya Kiritsugu. If Lancer is eliminated, then the King of Knights can return to its full glory."
For some reason, Kotomine Kirei had told Tokiomi the news that Emiya Kiritsugu had participated in the Holy Grail War.
I see.
Tokiomi, who had just lost his mind again, suddenly realized. After this reminder, he quickly figured out the key to the problem:
"We can also unite with Kenneth on this matter, I believe he will not refuse."
Because of Ryunosuke Ubu's death, one thing has become very clear - that is, the sunshine boy is just an ordinary person.
Ryunosuke's resume is easy to check, and he has never studied blasting, so it is basically impossible for him to blow up the Hyatt Hotel.
That excluded Caster. Although he didn't know the existence of Emiya Kiritsugu, Director Ken could still easily think that the person who was eager to take action against him was most likely a hidden figure in the Einzbern family.
Moreover, since Saber's wrist was injured by Lancer's Yellow Rose, the conflict between Kenneth and the Einzbern family could not be reconciled at all.
"Saber and Lancer will inevitably fall. For us, it is more advantageous for Lancer, whose Noble Phantasm effect has been fully exposed, to win."
Kotomine Kirei maintained a terrifying calmness, peeling off the direction of the war situation and the stakes, and presented it to Tokiomi.
Tokiomi nodded and looked at Mapo with admiration:
"The King of Heroes needs to protect Tohsaka Residence for the time being. Kirei, thank you and Assassin for going out again."
At this moment, he was very happy that he had accepted Mapo as his disciple. She was definitely a hard-working and capable assistant.
"No problem, I will contact Kenneth tomorrow and we will attack Einzbern Castle together tomorrow night."
Kotomine Kirei nodded, with an imperceptible smile on his lips. Of course he had selfish motives.
After the initial novelty wore off, Father Mapo became bored with the Holy Grail War and felt that it was no different from his usual tasks.
In order to meet Emiya Kiritsugu, he said what he just said. Of course, Mapo did not analyze it randomly. Eliminating Saber first would indeed be beneficial to the Tohsaka family.
After all, it’s unclear what trump cards the King of Knights will have after she returns to her prime, so it’s better to kill her as soon as possible.
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
In the abandoned factory, a discussion was taking place.
When Kenneth and Lancer went out to buy daily necessities, Kotomine Kirei's familiar came to him and sent him a secret letter, which clearly expressed his intention to join forces.
"Sora, what do you think, joining forces with Assassin tonight to attack Einzbern Castle outside the western suburbs of the city?"
He had already made up his mind, but Director Ken still asked, focusing on his fiancée.
Sora had a cold face and hummed softly:
"Of course we have to take the initiative. Didn't the representative of the church say that the one who blew up the Hyatt Hotel was actually the magician killer hired by the Einzbern family?
What a depravity! The Einzberns are a famous magic family in Germany, but they have fallen to the level of hiring shady magicians! "
Magician and magician are two different concepts.
In the magic world, led by Clock Tower and other forces, orthodox practitioners of magic are called magicians. Magicians are generally passionate about a certain research, and the ultimate goal is to reach the root of the group.
Magicians are different. Although magicians can also use magic, they only use magic as a prop.
They usually operate as mercenaries, using the power of magic to benefit themselves, and have no desire for the so-called "root".
Typical representatives of magicians are Tokiomi Tokiomi, Ken, director of these people.
The typical representative among magicians is Emiya Kiritsugu, and of course Emiya Shirou is also included.
In actual combat, magicians who are good at fighting and using various modern tools often frustrate magicians.
However, magi have the right to speak and look down on magic users. Therefore, no matter how powerful Kiritsugu and Emiya are, they are still just magic users.
Director Ken, who comes from a famous magic family, fully agrees with his fiancée’s point of view:
"That's right, compared to the Tosaka family, the Einzbern family and the Matou family have really fallen. In that case, let's eliminate the Einzbern family first, and then I will go with the Tosaka family. Let me challenge you."
Kenneth is very arrogant. In this Holy Grail War, except for Tohsaka Tokiomi, he paid more attention to none of the other masters.
Director Ken is really strong, but he meets Father Kiritsugu.
But now, due to Ren's influence, the one who is really at a disadvantage is Emiya Kiritsugu. It can even be said that Kiritsugu's father is now forced into a desperate situation.
This plan to attack the Einzbern Castle came from Kotomine Kirei. It was different from the original situation. Father Mapo laid a killing plan for Emiya Kiritsugu.
