Shirou's clones number 30 million

"You actually admitted it!"

"Games are harmful. I'm doing this to prevent them from becoming addicted to online games and turning into useless people."

He is known for his double standards, being lenient with himself but strict with others.

These words unconsciously surfaced in Shirou Shiro's mind. After thinking for a moment, he asked again:

"What about your 28 wives? Are you going to have them play games with you?"

"Hmm, that works too."

"Are they all just sitting around doing nothing, living off their savings?"

"Don't you have sons? We just said that soon, we'll have the older ones go out and earn money."

"A piece of trash among men."

"Haha... this is a test for them. Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are first tested and strengthened..."

Chapter 660 The Unjust War

Chapter 660, Section 661: The Unjust War

Several days later, in the early morning, in the city of Xue Zhan.

Boom!!

Upon hearing the loud noise from afar, Tianxiang Youli, who had just finished giving a presentation on the day's competition schedule and rules, rushed over immediately.

Because of the performance costume she was wearing, she attracted countless eyes along the way.

Upon arriving at their destination, Tianxiang Youli unconsciously stopped.

In front of a spatial portal, the special operations team of the Academy City stood in a neat row, led by Ophelia, known as the Poison Witch.

Behind them were the Mizukage's ninja army, the same number as the former, wearing Kirigakure headbands, numbering around 300.

At the very back was King Arthur's army, numbering nearly ten thousand. Two members of the Knights of the Round Table stood at the very front, seemingly Gawain and Mordred.

Beside the allied forces, several cannons were firing into the sky, seemingly to boost morale.

Yuri looked around and suddenly noticed Shirou Shiro standing on a rooftop, talking to several people his age, including strangers he didn't recognize and Artoria, whom he knew but wasn't familiar with.

He ran to the eaves and waved.

Shirou Shiro immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, a tornado rose beneath Yuri Tensho's feet, carrying her straight away.

"Yuri, what brings you here?"

"I heard a rumbling sound here and thought something had happened, so I came to check it out."

Tenshou Yuri leaned close to Shirazawa Shirou's ear and whispered:

"What on earth is going on? It looks like we're about to go to war?"

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Shirou Shirawa nodded slightly and explained in a low voice:

"Let's just call this a mission that our Yorozuya took on. It's a request from another world. The client is Ryan, a nobleman from another world."

"He entrusted us to help him take revenge on the king, destroy the royal family, and seize the capital..."

"Why……?"

Yuri Tensho looked surprised, and unconsciously thought to herself, "Wow, there are such requests? This is really an eye-opener."

"Who is Ryan?"

“It’s me,” Ryan suddenly spoke up from the side.

"May I ask? Why do you seek revenge against the king?"

"Because of resentment, I was so smart, why did I lose? And my whole family was burned to ashes by petroleum-based fireballs."

As he spoke, Ryan tried his best to appear nonchalant.

But perhaps the experience before his death was too vivid, or perhaps the resentment was too intense, so his expression unconsciously became somewhat distorted.

After a few seconds of silence, Tianxiang Youli cautiously asked:

"Was the king good or bad?"

"Is this question important?" Ryan did not answer directly.

“That’s true.” Tianxiang Youli sighed.

This person looks somewhat like Shirou; he must be Shirou from another world, or perhaps an alternate version of him from a parallel universe.

With his angry expression and his words about his family being burned to death, no one could persuade him otherwise.

Now that things have come to this point, war is inevitable.

Who is leading this expedition?

“Of course it’s King Arthur,” Shirou Hakusawa said.

Yuri Tensho unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Although she wasn't very familiar with him, she knew a little about King Arthur's personality.

With King Arthur leading the army, this war certainly won't escalate into a brutal war between two worlds.

A war between two countries and a war between two worlds are completely different things, with vastly different intensities.

Artoria, who was being stared at, looked down at the allied army and unconsciously recalled what the Kingdom's strategist Shirou had said earlier.

At that time, he told a story.

In the story, the protagonist from another world encounters a reincarnated individual from the future, resulting in his entire family being burned to ashes.

Driven by intense anger, he decided to seek revenge.

But there are many kinds of revenge. One of them is to go on a journey alone, become a world-destroying dragon, and destroy all living things on the land of the entire kingdom. This is naturally the worst outcome.

The best outcome would be to spend all one's wealth to recruit a mercenary army, conquer the capital, capture the entire royal family, and ensure that no harm is done to ordinary people, with the mercenaries maintaining order.

It is said that Mordred, who enjoys watching a spectacle and thrives on chaos, has already accepted the job in secret.

After much deliberation, Artoria finally decided to accept the commission in the name of King Arthur.

Emotionally, this is to avenge Shirou in another world; rationally, it's to prevent them from going too far.

Soon after the troops were assembled, the strategist Shirou Emiya jumped onto the roof and began to report on the situation.

"Lia, the expeditionary force has been assembled, totaling 11,630 men."

"The rations we carry are enough for ten days. If the battle becomes too intense, the rations we need will be provided by Ryan."

"it is good."

Artoria responded, took a few steps forward, stood where everyone could see her, and said seriously:

"This war is a war of revenge, and there is no justice to speak of."

"However, war has nothing to do with whether it is just or not..."

The strategist Shirou cooperated by setting up an amplification barrier to allow her voice to be heard throughout the entire army.

"We should work together to prevent the war from escalating."

"Everyone should know that the goal of this expedition is only to capture the enemy capital and capture all members of the royal family."

"Then, let's go!"

The army, which had already lined up below, silently walked into the spatial portal.

Watching the army enter the spatial portal one after another, Yuri Tensho couldn't help but take Shirou Shirazawa's hand and asked nervously:

"I wonder how many people will be able to return safely after this?"

"It's unrealistic to expect everyone to be there, but getting over 90% is definitely achievable," Shirou Shiro said with a smile, trying to reassure her.

The ninjas sent were all Chunin or higher level members, led by Nara Shikaku. With his intelligence, he would never fall for the enemy's scheme.

The special operations team dispatched by the Academy of War City, including just the Lone Poison Witch, is extremely lethal.

Moreover, Ryan, who shares all of Shirou's strength, will also participate in the battle.

This isn't just a matter of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; it's like using a planet-destroying cannon to kill a mosquito.

The reason for bringing so many people was simply to avoid harming innocent people and to maintain order in the kingdom after the war.

"It's over here. Let's go back and watch the match. It's already very impressive that Enoshima Junko and the others have made it this far."

"But unfortunately, they absolutely cannot beat their next opponent."

"Huh...?" Yuri Tensho looked surprised. "Isn't Shirou going over there?"

"No, with Ryan here, there's no need for me to go. Besides, we've already agreed that because of the life-saving grace we received before, plus the help he provided in contacting various parties, all the spoils of this war will belong to me."

"ah...!?"

Tenshou Yuri was stunned for several seconds before she reacted and asked hesitantly:

"Isn't this going to war? It sounds more like we're going to make money."

"Of course, the purpose of war is to make money."

Shirou Shiro smiled and explained in a low voice:

“Ryan is in it for revenge, but the others are in it for the money.”

"Leaving aside territory for the moment, just robbing enemy nobles and royalty would be a huge profit."

“Gold and jewelry are hard currencies in every world. For an ordinary soldier, even if he can only seize one piece of gold jewelry, it is enough to improve his family’s living conditions.”

As for generals, although their visions and moral standards differ, they are simply different in what they want.

Tianxiang Youli sighed unconsciously, and her shoulders slumped:

"Why does it feel like this war has lost all its legitimacy?"

"Haha... Just like King Arthur said, there is no such thing as justice or injustice in war."

"Um... let's go back and watch the game. By the way, I asked Lala to help me make a sweetness meter, I wonder if it's done yet."

A sweetness meter? Just from the name, Shiro Shiro immediately understood that it was probably an instrument for measuring the sweetness of fruit.
