Chapter 29 Conspiracy
Although Saber's true master, Emiya Kiritsugu, was hiding in the shadows with a sniper rifle, the safety of her temporary master, Irisviel, was still not guaranteed. Given Saber's personality, she naturally couldn't ignore Irisviel's safety.
When Saber was at a certain distance, she looked towards Su Yun and found that there were still only him and Mr. Kong Ming, and there was no sign of Berserker.
"Sir Su Yun, Berserker is not here?" Saber asked Su Yun with the attitude of asking questions whenever there is something.
"How do I know whether he is here or not?" Su Yun raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"..." Saber was silent for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Haven't you already joined forces?"
"Really? Why didn't I know?"
"Hehe..." Hearing the conversation between Su Yun and Saber, Kong Ming couldn't help but chuckle, then explained: "Saber, you guys have always believed this. Although we haven't denied it, we haven't admitted it either."
Gu Yue Fangyuan: This kid is similar to me!
Yang Jian: Neither deny nor admit, right? I learned it.
Quietly watching the show (Group Leader Cheng Yiyi): "What is this guy trying to do? Is he trying to tease Saber?"
Tequila Girl (Er Qiao): picture jpg.
In response to Cheng Yiyi's confusion, Er Qiao kindly sent her a picture to clarify. The picture showed the abandoned factory at that moment. In the picture, except for Su Xiao's Berserker, whose presence was unknown, all other surviving Heroic Spirits were present.
Since she was not in battle, Saber was naturally paying attention to the messages in the group. After seeing the picture sent by Qiao, Saber immediately understood Su Yun's intention.
"Will you let us misunderstand that you and Berserker are working together, and then use my power to spread the news and take this opportunity to gather all these heroic spirits?" Although Saber asked a question, her tone was very firm.
“Hehe~ Only a naive little girl like you and a dark guy with a mind full of calculations would be deceived like this.” Seeing Saber’s reaction, the Conqueror King Iskandar rang out in a rough and bold voice.
Jin Shanshan, who probably refused to be inferior to anyone at any level, followed up with the following words: "How could you, such vulgar people, have imagined that I simply disdain to cooperate with you? I, the king, am the only one who is supreme and invincible!"
When Jin Shanshan said this, no one else reacted. Cheng Yiyi in the chat group was the first to jump out.
Quietly watching the show (Group Leader Cheng Yiyi): "This pretense is no good! @魂塌人 (Administrator Su Yun), hurry up and show off your pretense quotes and beat the Streetlight King."
Soul Trash (Administrator Su Yun): "..."
Gilgamesh was trying to be pretentious, but the two Heroic Spirits were very clear about their intentions; they weren't here to collaborate. They were simply here because so many Heroic Spirits would gather.
Hassan Baimao was not good at speaking, so he disappeared during the conversation. However, he did not leave the battlefield directly, but hid in a corner of the abandoned factory, waiting for an opportunity.
The one who is most restricted by Assassin's existence is Saber. She needs to ensure that Irisviel behind her will not be assassinated by Assassin.
There is a tall chimney in the industrial park of the abandoned factory, and at this time a figure occupied this commanding height.
In Emiya Kiritsugu's hand was a meticulously tuned and maintained sniper rifle, its body emitting a cool metallic sheen that perfectly complemented his demeanor. His finger rested lightly on the trigger, each breath controlled to perfection, as if blending seamlessly into the night.
Half-crouching on top of the chimney, Emiya Kiritsugu observed the situation in the abandoned factory calmly and sharply through his high-precision sniper scope. Seeing Saber's current predicament, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Emiya Kiritsugu could also figure out the attitudes of Gilgamesh, Iskandar, and the others. Of course, when he spread the news, he never expected them to join forces with his side.
Whether it's these two or Saber, they are all born as kings, have the pride of being a king, and will not easily join forces with others.
This is also the reason why Gilgamesh does not look down on Tōsaka Tokiomi and Assassin. Of course, he also admires their side, that is, to achieve the goal, use any means necessary, which is also a required course for a king.
Gilgamesh's behavior may seem like he has never taken this required course, but in fact, this is not the case. This is a quality that a promising ruler must possess.
But Gilgamesh isn't a true hero king; he's a heroic spirit created from a heroic story, and his personality is more informed by the story. And isn't Gilgamesh in the story powerful and arrogant?
Similarly, the same is true for our King Saber. In the form of a heroic spirit, she does not look like a king, but more like a knight, because this side of her character is mainly highlighted in the story.
This was somewhat evident from Saber's scolding of Assassin. His actions were indeed inconsistent with his own values, but Hassan the Hundred Faces' job was an assassin, and calling him despicable was truly unbecoming of a king.
This is like the First Emperor accusing Jing Ke of being a despicable assassin. It's full of incongruity. Saber won't be able to escape this influence until she is pulled out of the Samsara Paradise and becomes an independent individual, and the Fate world no longer has a Saber Queen.
In the initial stage, the so-called chivalry is still retained, but it will not be completely restricted by it. The wisdom of the king will gradually take the lead and absorb nutrients like a sponge.
His integrity, impartiality, and high adaptability were the reasons why Samsara Paradise selected him to serve as a judge. Saber was a normal judge, while Caesar was an anomaly.
Let's get back to the point. How could Emiya Kiritsugu, who probably understood the personalities of these kings, possibly expect them to join forces to get rid of Caster and Berserker first?
He had learned from Saber that the Masters and Heroic Spirits of Caster's camp were not from this world, and the worst possible outcome would be leaving this world.
Emiya Kiritsugu's goal was actually what Su Yun wanted to see, to gather most of the Heroic Spirits. That way, regardless of whether Su Yun cooperated with that evil Heroic Spirit or not, they would have room to deal with it.
In fact, Kiritsugu Emiya did not have many choices. A simple analysis using game theory will reveal this.
In the absence of certainty as to whether the alliance between the two parties is real or fake, there are two options: wait for the enemy or pass on the message to other combatants.
When waiting for the enemy, there are two results. One is that the two sides are really joining forces, and there is a high probability that they will be defeated if the enemy comes to their door; the other is fake, that is, a competition of personal strength.
In the case of passing the message, assuming that the alliance between Su Yun and Su Xiao is true, and they have gathered the majority of heroes, the alliance will appear strong, and the other heroes will naturally target them tacitly; if the alliance is false, it will still be a competition of personal strength.
So, does Emiya Kiritsugu have any other choice? As long as he is smarter and wants to win, he must find a way to gather the Heroic Spirits together.
It can be seen that the first person who wanted to use Emiya Kiritsugu to gather the Heroic Spirits was not Su Yun, but Su Xiao. This was Su Xiao's conspiracy based on Emiya Kiritsugu's personality.
Su Xiao's subsequent main quest is the Holy Grail, and to summon the Holy Grail, all the Heroic Spirits must be eliminated. In other words, Su Xiao's subsequent quest is to eliminate the Heroic Spirits.
He has limited time, so the best way is to create a big fight between heroes and reduce the number of heroes as much as possible.
It was only when Saber questioned him that Su Yun realized that the cooperation was Su Xiao's trick to trick Emiya Kiritsugu into a trap. He saw through his plan and took the opportunity to provide Emiya Kiritsugu with a place to fight. This gave Emiya Kiritsugu a reason to gather other Heroic Spirits.
All of this was seen by Kong Ming, and each of them had eight hundred thoughts. The people in the group could not see the full picture, and those with higher IQ could only vaguely perceive what calculations were going on.
Different from the group leader who passively gave up, Su Yun took the initiative to give up. Although he gave up, it didn't mean he didn't understand these things.
"Everyone, what do you think? Choose an opponent each." Su Yun said to them when he saw that all the heroic spirits except Su Xiao had appeared.
Several people looked at each other without saying a word. Su Yun noticed that Jin Shanshan seemed to be about to say something arrogant again. Of course, he wouldn't say anything to overdo it, so he probably said some sarcastic words, so he interrupted him.
"Saber and Rider, you two lead the battle with your Master. Kong Ming, the Assassin who is hiding now is left to you." Su Yun first suggested, and then said to Kong Ming.
"No problem." Kong Ming agreed to the task with a smile. Dealing with Assassins was a complete professional match, focusing on restraining them.
"Saber? She is indeed a good opponent!" Iskandar thought Su Yun's suggestion was very good and looked at Saber with eyes full of fighting spirit.
Saber, holding an invisible sword, stood before Irisviel, releasing her aura, ready to fight. She also agreed with Su Yun's arrangement; at least she didn't have to worry too much about Irisviel's safety.
Su Yun turned his gaze to Gilgamesh.
Gillian:?
"My opponent is you... uh... you?" Gilgamesh originally wanted to curse, but thinking of the fear of being dominated by Su Yun's great silencing spell, he did not start with zero frame.
Su Yun pinched his hand seals, and an earth dragon pushed him up to the same height as the Street Lamp King. He said, "I've learned a few new moves in the past two days. I need a strong enemy to practice with. Please teach me."
