Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

The scene became chaotic for a moment.

"Archer, Lancer, Rider, I'd like you to join the battle if possible."

Amakusa Shirou looked at the three members of the Red Team and said, "I wonder if you two are not allowed to do this because of the dignity of a Heroic Spirit? Lancer, what do you plan to do?"

"...I have no interest in accusing others of despicable behavior. If it has to be done here, I will do it."

Karna gazed at the doorway and said, "But Father, I'm afraid your wish cannot be fulfilled."

A crimson bolt of lightning shot in from outside the door, instantly shattering several golems.

Needless to say, it was Xiao Mo.

Rin Tohsaka: "Oh dear, this is somewhat unexpected."

Kotomine Shiro: "It seems we've ended up on opposite sides after all, Saber team."

Rebellious Knight: "You idiot, isn't that just stating the obvious?"

Shiki Jie Li: "Shiro, don't forget, you were the one who struck first. If I hadn't been more vigilant, I probably would be in the same situation now."

【"I see."】

Amakusa Shiro smiled, because Mordred wasn't wearing a helmet, and he had already seen her stats.

"So it was you, Saber of the Red Team! The one who ended the glorious legend of King Arthur, the rebellious knight Mordred."

Xiao Mo: "Hmph! Don't just call my name like that!"

[Empress: "Saber, do you intend to betray me?!"]

[Xiao Mo: "Are you an idiot? It wasn't you who betrayed me! Didn't you try to kill my Master with your treacherous schemes? From that moment on, you became my enemies!"]

Without any hesitation, Xiao Mo slashed down with her sword, the powerful sword energy splitting the entire hall in two, separating Amakusa Shiro and Jeanne d'Arc.

Immediately, two smoke grenades were thrown in, turning the lobby into a 'fairyland,' allowing Joan of Arc and her two companions to escape.

Empress: "Hmph, it seems you're not so stupid after all."

Lion Robber Jie Li: "Miss, I'm a bounty hunter. If I weren't smart enough, I'd be dead somewhere long ago."

Given the strength of the enemy, it was best to retreat first. As for why they risked their lives to save Joan of Arc and the other two, it was naturally to preserve a few future allies.

Is the enemy of my enemy my friend?

As soon as the smoke cleared, before Amakusa Shiro could even speak, Avisbro volunteered to lead the golem in pursuit of Jeanne and the others.

[But Avisbro hadn't gone far when he used magic to contact Roger. Unaware of the situation, Roger simply followed Avisbro's instructions and went to the basement to retrieve Avisbro's 'core'.]

Rin Tohsaka: "Good heavens, this is a spy within a spy."

Weber: "The core? What exactly is Avisbro trying to do?"

After Joan of Arc and the others escaped the palace, Mordred left immediately, while Joan followed Chiron towards the edge of the aerial fortress, preparing to return to the castle of the Thousand Trees.

The Black faction suffered heavy losses in this battle, and Jeanne d'Arc also needed to deal with Amakusa Shiro, so the two sides decided to form an alliance.

Of course, this cooperation is currently only Chiron's wish; he still needs to persuade the others.

Chiron is unaware that he is now the only one left on the Black side.

[But Joan of Arc's decision to confront Amakusa Shirou wasn't solely because he wanted to kill her.]

Amakusa Shiro says he wants to save all of humanity, but Jeanne senses that what he wants to do is terrifying.

Teikouhei: "Amakusa Shirou, what wish do you want to fulfill using the Holy Grail?"

Kotomine Shiro: "Let's talk about this after I get the Holy Grail. Or you can wait a few days; I think we'll see the ending in a few days."

[On Xiao Mo's side, this guy jumped off the Sky Garden with Lion Robber, making Lion Robber think he was about to die.]

[Avisbro, who was close behind, also rode his golem back to the ground, but instead of continuing the pursuit, he went to meet up with Roger.]

Roger had been waiting for a long time with the 'hearth,' a huge, cylindrical key.

He was excited because he already knew what Avisbro was going to do.

[The opponent is preparing to use their Noble Phantasm to summon that golem, Avisbro and his secret creation made in his spare time.]

Chapter 222 Rescuing Compatriots

Weber: "A secret work? Avisbro had something like that hidden away."

Rin Tohsaka: "I just don't know who he plans to use this work against."

[Roger: "Teacher, this is the 'core' of the furnace, is there any problem?"]

[Avisbro: "Well done."]

【"Very good."】

Roger asked curiously, "But teacher, this 'hearth' must have been made a long time ago, but it hasn't been started until today. Is there some reason for that?"

【"..."】

[Avisbro did not answer the question; instead, he silently drove the key into the ground and then immersed his hands in the lake water.]

"Born of the earth, fed by the wind, nourished by water..."

As the incantation was chanted, ripples slowly appeared on the once calm, mirror-like surface of the lake.

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "There's something wrong with this guy. There's something very wrong with his appearance."

Kenneth: "Could it be an unfinished, half-finished product, or does it require some condition to activate?"

Meanwhile, Sieg has already infiltrated the Yggdrasil's castle.

[A red Command Seal appeared in his hand; it was Afu's Command Seal.]

That's right, Sieg signed a contract with Astolfo, becoming his new Master.

[Because Afu possessed the ability to act independently, he did not immediately leave the battlefield after Sereneka's death.]

However, because Sereneka's Command Spell was still in effect, Astolfo didn't accompany Sieg; instead, he went to provide cover for Sieg.

Webber: "It doesn't surprise me at all that Astolfo signed a contract with Sieg."

Rin Tohsaka: "Sieg has truly made a remarkable underdog story this time."

Jeanne: "Alas, the Holy Grail War is extremely dangerous; you shouldn't get involved."

Zig: "...Sorry."

Kenneth: "Hmph, from the moment he became Siegfried, he was no longer able to stay out of it."

As Sieg passed by the now-ruined corridor, he saw a hand moving within the rubble and immediately rushed forward to rescue the person trapped beneath.

[It was a female android, half-blind, with both legs missing and her abdomen pierced through; she was clearly not going to survive.]

"I'm saved, thank you so much. Is the battle over?"

[Zig: "...Ah, it's over."]

"Well then, I need to go back and clean. Ugh, but this will make the floor dirty. It's really outrageous. I need to quickly change into new clothes and swap the tomahawk for a broom, but before that, I have to stop the bleeding first..."

[Zig, suppressing his emotions, calmly took the girl's hand and said, "No, no need. I'll do the cleaning. After all that's happened, you should get some sleep."]

Is it true?

The girl's voice held a hint of reassurance as she slowly said, "To be honest, I'm a little tired right now. If I could ask you for a favor, that would be wonderful."

"I'm so sorry, I need to rest for a bit. Please wake me up in five hours."

"...You should sleep a little longer."

"An android only needs five hours of sleep. But it seems my body is quite fatigued. This feeling of drowsiness is... a first for me..."

The girl's hand slowly fell to the ground, signifying the passing of a life.

Sieg slowly rose. He couldn't find a resting place for the girl, because many of his comrades were still alive and waiting for him to save them.

"You actually went all the way back for us, your politeness is pathetic. But thank you, thanks to you, I found salvation..."

Just as Zieg was about to leave, he heard the girl's murmur behind him again, growing fainter and fainter.

Zieg quickly turned around and grabbed the girl's hand to check, but this time, the girl's life was truly over.

[My terrible acting skills were seen through long ago.]

The androids of the Thousand World Tree do not have the concept of mutual help.

I couldn't even manage to let her leave with those illusions.

Zig: "Damn it..."

Mrs:"..."

Suppressing his grief and anger, Sieg continued forward, and relying on his fragmented memories, successfully located the basement where the androids were kept.

However, someone had already arrived before him—the android girl he had rescued on the battlefield.

She has gathered several androids to work together to rescue her fellow humans.

"If you're still alive, you should say it properly, you idiot."

After understanding the situation, the girl pointed at Sieg and said with great dissatisfaction, and the other androids echoed her sentiments.

[Zig paused for a moment, then quickly realized what had happened, and exclaimed in surprise, "Did you all sense my death?"]
