The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

For the Masters of the Red Army, this matter might be seen as a deliberate attempt to create a smokescreen, but they still have to investigate it.

"This could just be a smokescreen, used to draw our attention so they can carry out their own plans."

"But even if it's just a ruse, we have to expose it before we can feel at ease. Besides, if it really is some kind of deadly move being prepared, it's a good thing to find out and stop it as soon as possible."

In Sighisoara, the city closest to Tulipas, a man dressed as a priest speaks to an empty space in a famous church on a hill in the city.

This is one of the Masters of the Red Team in this Holy Grail War, and also the supervisor sent by the Church of Christ, Kotomine Shirou.

Having obtained the latest intelligence, he pondered to himself, engaging in conversation with what appeared to be an empty space in front of him.

However, it only appears to be empty in front of him. Kotomine Shirou is the Master of Assassins, and the Servants he summons naturally possess the ability to conceal their presence.

If one doesn't switch to an offensive stance, even a Servant would find it difficult to detect a hidden Assassin.

Meanwhile, in another location here, the five Masters who had already arrived and were employed by the Clock Tower were also conversing.

However, it is more difficult for them to reach a consensus, unlike the Black faction, where all Masters are members of the family.

Therefore, as the head of the family, Danic naturally held the power of discourse and had the right to issue strategic plans and give orders.

Only two of the Red Team's Masters came from the Clock Tower, one of whom was hired, while the other four were simply magicians hired by the Mage's Association.

The relationship between them is merely a fragile one of cooperation; they can only make proposals, discuss matters, and then make decisions.

However, if you don't want to form a united front, you can act alone.

"So who should we send? Archer or Rider? It would be more reliable if only the two of them went to investigate."

"Lancer shouldn't be a problem either; no one should be able to defeat him easily."

They were having a lively discussion in this underground space.

Kotomine Shirou, on the other hand, had just finished receiving Saber's Master above, and regretfully saw him off.

Saber's Master, Shishigaki, is the Master mentioned earlier who doesn't intend to form a united front and plans to act alone.

After closing the door, Shiro Kotomine spoke to Assassin, who had already revealed himself.

"Let Archer go. That way, Rider might follow too. It's better to keep Lancer and wait for Ruler to arrive. He's probably the most suitable candidate."

"That's true. Lancer is the kind of guy who won't argue with orders, he'll just obey. If it were Rider, he wouldn't accept them at all."

Assassin stood to the side and said.

"The ritual for my Noble Phantasm will only take three days to complete. Before that, I need to gather all the information I need."

"However, sending Servants into Tulifas is still somewhat dangerous. Fortunately, it is indeed newly built there, and it may be a Noble Phantasm similar to yours."

After Kotomine (2) Shiro finished speaking, the two suddenly fell silent, looking together at the door (4).

"A horse! A horse! I'll trade my kingdom for a horse!"

Only when they saw that it was Shakespeare who had barged in did the two men lower their guard.

"Caster, what happened that made you come all this way?"

"Yes, just like the saying goes, lovers and madmen are full of chaotic imaginations and formed illusions. Berserkers sometimes do things that are hard to imagine."

Has the Berserker rioted?

However, Shakespeare denied the question with "No, no, no," and then loudly proclaimed with a fawning smile like a court jester.

"Berserker has begun his march toward Tulifas; it seems he has chosen his target."

“This is a headache, but it’s also an opportunity. Let Archer catch up and guide him to the place that Yggdrasil is building.”

After a moment's thought, Kotomine Shiro issued the order.

"I understand. I'll send a familiar to inform Archer."

...

"If we consider your position as a subject, you have done far from enough, and in fact, you are far inferior." (2)

Manju sat lazily on the throne in the palace, speaking to his Master below. Death.

This palace was the first structure built within the fortified city. 3

The priority should be building one's own housing; otherwise, are you really going to stand right there on the construction site? (Umbrella)

Seeing his Master below cowering and unable to utter a single word, Manju could only shake his head before speaking. Lin

"But tell me, what did Danic send you here for?"

Chapter Eleven Power

"Oh? You think that so-called adjudicator is worth me personally receiving?"

The message Danic sent to Fiore was about the arbitrator who had set foot on Romanian soil.

As a clan that has been operating here for a long time, Yggdrasilia's intelligence network, while not as extensive as Semiramis's dove familiars that cover the entire Romania, still possesses an intelligence network that links the whole of Romania.

After all, the Yggdrasilia clan took in many losers from the subspecies of the Holy Grail War, and a large number of magicians were dispatched throughout the land.

And there are many more characters who are not magicians, but simply have heard of or come into contact with the mysterious.

So, not long after the Arbitrators arrived in Romania, the intelligence was also obtained by Danic.

However, Danic did not act rashly. Instead, he sent the intelligence over here first, asking Fiore to ask Manshu for her opinion.

Under Manchu's questioning, Fiore spoke tremblingly, and was then met with Manchu's interrogation.

"No...I didn't..."

The girl shook her head frantically, her trembling body revealing her fear.

If the fight in the hall was restrained, and Manshu's reinforcement of the building prevented it from causing too much of a disturbance, then... (The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly.)

So it's still somewhat understandable; while the power displayed by the Servants is terrifying, it's not as unstoppable as described. ②

Upon arriving on this land, what Manju revealed was entirely beyond the magician's imagination.

That day, Manju left the castle in Yggdmillennia alone to search for the spiritual veins that gave rise to the city. (3)

Following Danic's orders, Fiore conveyed a message to Manju through the already established contract, transmitting information about the spiritual veins. 3

Therefore, Manjustra spent a little time walking through all the locations marked on the map and then selected a spot.

Afterwards, the homunculi and golems of Avisbro and Fiore, the Master of Manjusaka, arrived at their positions. 5

Manju once again formed a bow from lightning, but this time the arrows were formed from the white holy mark in his hand.

"Behold, you will be fortunate enough to witness miracles again and the power to create a nation."

Manju shouted loudly, then drew back the bowstring of the Thunder Bow and shot out the fully charged arrow.

"God promised the land of Yunimrod, and the beginning of the kingdom was Eli, Agag, Calni, Nineveh, Rezen, Rehoboth, Gala, and Babel."

“I will build a temple for God in the land, for I have taken from him eight cities as my king over the earth, whom he has chosen.”

Manshu's voice soared through the dark night, like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present.

The arrow that was shot then emitted an even more terrifying sound in the next moment.

Like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting open, a tremendous sound and a terrifying commotion arose where the arrows fell.

The phrase "lands collapsing and the earth splitting" is no longer a metaphor but a fact; the earth is shaking violently, the land is cracking open, and a high ground is rising up.

Just as Manjuschadenfreude said at the beginning, they were fortunate enough to witness another miracle and see the power of that nation.

From the earth, the foundation of the city rises up, forming the most basic shape of the walled city.

"Such incredible power. Even though it's a Noble Phantasm, it hasn't even released its true name..."

Danic, inside the castle, saw everything through his familiar and could only gasp, his expression becoming even more fanatical.

9. The joy brought by this unexpected surprise was far beyond human imagination.

4. "Indeed, the quality of such power is probably no less than that of an ordinary anti-army level Noble Phantasm."

Avisbro, standing to the side, nodded and said that since he had sent androids and golems there, he naturally had the vision to see everything that was happening on that land.

(ii) "Caster, aren't you very interested in Archer? Why don't you visit him sometime? Maybe he can answer some of your questions."

Sidanic smiled and said to Avisbro, who was standing in front of him.

(3) "I really must pay him a visit. I sincerely hope to get some answers from this king. I hope he will allow me to ask my questions, and it would be even better if he could mercifully answer them."

Caster sincerely hoped so, though he didn't have high hopes for it, but even if it was possible, it was worth supporting him to take action.

0. "There's another matter. How long will it take for the previously requested materials to arrive?"

"If all goes well, we should arrive tomorrow. Because we can't go through the clock tower, the preparations took longer than expected, and I apologize for that."

Danic responded with a smile, and the two then returned the conversation to the strategic arrangements for the Holy Grail War.

However, the two familiars continued to record the scene there so that they could watch it repeatedly later.

For Fiore, who personally experienced this scene, she finally understood the terrifying and great nature of Servants.

Fiore is a magician who is completely absorbed in her studies and knows nothing about anything other than magic; she is an naive and ignorant character.

That's why she could understand how incredible the scene before her was, and how she couldn't help but feel fear and awe.

"Go and build my palace first. Its construction standards should be engraved on the land like a divine revelation. Hurry up and complete this task. Indolence and delay will only incur the king's wrath."

After uttering those words, Manshu vanished from the spot, his spirit disappearing to who-knows-where.

Fiore also couldn't track Manju's whereabouts. With the ability to act independently, the contract wasn't such an important thing.

Moreover, Fiore currently lacks the courage to seek Liu Manshu's position through the contract; at most, she can only offer what can barely be considered a suggestion or request.

So Fiore stayed where she was and waited until the palace was built before sending the message through the contract.

……

"Hmph... I'm not so lowly as to argue with a child like you. Tell Danic, I have absolutely no interest in you."

"If the saints who come are Moses, Peter, or Giorgios, then I might be interested. Let him find out the other party's identity before we talk about it."

Manshu had no interest in watching the girl below, trembling and unable to utter a single word in her embarrassing state.

Manshu waved his hand and closed his eyes to rest.

"There's one more thing. One of the Red Team's Servants is charging towards Tulifas. If nothing unexpected happens, this is probably their target."

"Oh, that's something to have some fun about. Tell Danic not to worry about it. It's just a couple of riders. Whether they can break through my territory and reach the throne is still uncertain."
