In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

He really miscalculated this time.

Even though he no longer minded speculating about the despicable nature of those bastards with the utmost malice, he still realized that he had underestimated them when he actually fought them.

This bunch of bastards don't care about any mysterious hidden rules, and their tactics are completely like those of thugs, no, terrorists.

Kenneth thought that the Origin Bomb was the limit of what the enemy had, but he never dreamed that those guys would pull out time bombs and RPGs, weapons of mass destruction, and use them on him, catching him completely off guard.

The workshop he had meticulously set up was now completely rendered useless by this attack that showed no regard for martial ethics.

Not to mention entering the workshop, the other party even wanted to skip the process of fighting him and simply use the collapsing building to crush him to death.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you damned bastard! I won't let you get away with this!!"

Enrage had clouded his judgment, and despite his reluctance, Kenneth knew he had no choice but to abandon his magic workshop, its countless precious artifacts, and its three top-tier magic furnaces.

Although the contents of this place are worth nearly a billion pounds, Kenneth understands that as long as he's alive, he can always make a comeback. He can earn the money back when he gets back, but if he loses his life, he'll really have nothing left. He knows which is more important.

In this critical moment, Kenneth hurriedly reached out and grabbed Sakura Tohsaka next to Rowe, trying to use the Moon Spirit Essence to protect her, and then hurriedly called out to Waver and Rowe.

"You two idiots, what are you still squatting there for?! Get up and move!"

"Rider, get us out of here right now!!"

Weber also hurriedly shouted loudly.

However, Iskandar, standing to the side, merely scratched his ear, seemingly ignoring Kenneth's shouts and Webber's orders.

This made them even more anxious, thinking that Iskandar was up to something again at this time.

Given the urgency of the situation, Waver didn't intend to argue with him any further. He simply raised his hand, preparing to use a Command Spell to control him and forcibly lead everyone away.

But the next moment, Luo Wei spoke up and stopped them.

"Wait a minute, Webber, and Professor Kenneth, things aren't that bad. Let's calm down."

"Luo Wei? What are you still trying to do at a time like this?!"

Seeing Rowe's calm demeanor, Kenneth roared.

With the situation so dire, how could he remain so calm? If they don't run now, it will be too late!

Iskandar then spoke up to answer the question for Rowe.

"What's the rush, Lemon Head? Isn't this your workshop? Use your magic to investigate properly. It hasn't collapsed yet, has it?"

"Although we don't know the reason, this kid seems to have anticipated this situation. So the floors we are on have been modified by the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom, and they seem to be isolated from the other floors. They are currently in a state of stillness and stagnation, so we won't fall down for the time being."

As he spoke, Iskandar even drew back the curtains to make it seem more believable.

Amidst the dust raised by the collapsing building, hundreds of densely packed purple runes covered the walls, reinforcing the exterior of the three-story building and making its structure independent. As a result, even though they were in the swaying building, they were not greatly affected.

Knowing this, he remained calm just now.

Because Iskandar knew this, and there was a strategist here who clearly predicted this situation and prepared a countermeasure.

Since that's the case, there's no need for him to go through all that trouble; it might even sabotage the countermeasures.

"Did you... foresee this situation?"

Upon seeing the situation outside, Kenneth was taken aback, then looked at the still calm Rowe in front of him with surprise and asked.

"Well, not really. I was just guarding against Kiritsugu Emiya. After all, I could tell from our fight last night that he's not the kind of opponent who would perform a magic ritual fairly."

When Kenneth asked him, Lowe remained calm and made up a story: "So I had Scáthach do some preparations for me in advance, and I didn't expect it to actually come in handy."

"Is that so? Then I really have to thank you."

Kenneth secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Rowe's answer.

In this critical moment of being rescued, he clearly had no reason to doubt Rowe. And everything Rowe was doing at this moment was to help him.

"Haha, what a fine lad! To be able to make such an accurate judgment in just one night, you are truly a remarkable strategist! If this were in my time, as an opponent, you would definitely be a major threat to me!"

"How about it? Are you interested in joining my ranks? When I regain my body, I'll appoint you as my strategist, and together we'll conquer the world!"

Seeing Rowe's performance, Iskandar laughed heartily, his appreciation for talent rekindled, and he actually began to win him over.

"No, Your Highness the Conqueror, I was merely using a clever trick; I am hardly a strategist or advisor."

Luo Wei shook his head, inwardly sighing, 'It's just that he had the advantage of being somewhat prescient...'

—Boom!!

Just as everyone was chatting, several more RPGs suddenly whistled in from a distance and exploded directly on the windows. Clearly, the attackers outside had also noticed the anomaly on the three floors and were continuing their assault.

Although the explosion didn't reach them, the violent shaking and the nearby fireworks still made Kenneth's heart pound.

"Love, do you have any other countermeasures? This can't go on like this. If the enemy unleashes their Noble Phantasm, even the Workshop enhanced with runes won't be able to withstand it!"

Realizing something was wrong, Kenneth shouted at Rowe, wanting nothing more than to know how to get out of this predicament.

"Of course, please be patient..."

Then, Rowe looked at Iskandar in front of him, nodded slightly, and then spoke very politely.

“Conqueror King, we exchanged information when I went to see Waver, so I know about your Noble Phantasm. Now is the best time for you to make your move.”

"My treasured artifact? You mean you want me to..."

"Let's use a Reality Marble to move us to our current floor. That way, they won't be able to launch an attack."

Seeing Iskandar's confusion, Rowe gave him a special reminder.

"As I thought, I understand now."

Upon hearing Lovi's words, Iskandar's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Lovi's meaning, praising him.

"As expected of a strategist, he actually had this trick up his sleeve! How come I didn't think of it?"

Meanwhile, Waver and Kenneth, who were anxiously waiting, widened their eyes and exclaimed in disbelief when they heard Loew tell Rider to activate his Reality Marble.

"Rider! You actually have a Reality Marble? Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

In their view, the fact that Iskandar, this red-haired gorilla, possessed a Reality Marble was just as impactful as Kiritsugu Emiya's bombardment of the Sorcerer's Workshop.

After all, this red-haired gorilla doesn't seem to fit the image of a magician at all, right?

Seeing the astonished expressions on their faces, Iskandar simply scratched his head and casually replied.

"Besides this kid, none of you have asked me anything."

"..."

The atmosphere in the room fell into a deathly silence.

……

……

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

As a master of high-rise demolition, Kiritsugu Emiya generously gifted Kenneth a few rockets.

The dazzling fireworks and explosions were particularly striking against the dim night sky.

Under multiple targeted explosions and Kiritsugu Emiya's relentless RPG attacks, the already precarious high-rise building in mid-air finally collapsed with a deafening roar. Even the three-story workshop, which had been specially modified with magic, was completely swallowed up by the dust.

Outside, Kiritsugu Emiya, standing atop a distant high-rise building, coldly observed everything unfolding through binoculars.

Even as he watched the last three floors of the building collapse, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Sure enough, all mystery is no match for sufficient firepower. Even the monarch who chased him down with a fierce attack last night will be buried in the ruins under the roar of cannons.

The stronghold of the Gun Spirit, Godslayer Finn, and the Lord of Minerals has now been completely destroyed, and even their fate is unknown.

Without a doubt, now is the best time to finish off the enemy.

Without the workshop and severely injured, Kenneth will inevitably be exposed, and this will be his most vulnerable moment.

Therefore, Kiritsugu Emiya did not hesitate to send Saber to clear the battlefield, to have her hold off the Godslayer Finn, and then to have all the Assassins go out and assassinate Kenneth directly.

Tonight will be the end of Lancer.

"I never expected that the person who arrived here would be you... Saber."

On the other side, Artoria, who had just arrived at the scene, did not see Finn as Kiritsugu Emiya had expected, but Scáthach, who had been waiting there for a long time.

At this moment, the Queen of the Land of Shadows stood alone on the ruins, her crimson eyes coldly sweeping over Artoria, who had just arrived, with a slight smile on her face.

"..."

Artoria did not answer. She calmly surveyed her surroundings, her face grim.

"I thought the famous King Arthur would be a noble hero, a true knight. I never expected him to use such extreme tactics, even dragging civilians into it for the sake of victory."

Noticing Saber's worried gaze, Scáthach sneered and made a sarcastic remark.

"While it's true that ruthless methods are common in war, if you've already done it, why not just fight honestly and use any means necessary to win? Who are you trying to impress with this compassionate act?"

"...I have nothing to say about this result, Queen Scáthach."

Seeing the horrific scene around her, Artoria closed her eyes, feeling a pang of pity.

"Being sentimental won't make you a proper warrior... So, these are the Assassins around us who haven't left yet, right? They've all appeared together probably because they couldn't find any trace of their Master in the ruins, so they have no choice but to point their spears at me?"

Scáthach surveyed the dark figures appearing around her, already having a clear understanding of the situation on the battlefield.

"Saber, Assassin, and that golden Archer? Why didn't they come with you this time?"

"I have no idea……"

Artoria shook her head, feeling equally dissatisfied with Kiritsugu Emiya's outrageous behavior, so she answered almost every question Scáthach asked.

However, to her surprise, Kenneth's Servant, while Lancer, was not Finn as they had anticipated, but rather the Queen of the Land of Shadows...

But none of that matters now.

The battle had come to an end with the appearance of a golden figure amidst the ruins.

Then, a disheveled Kenneth crawled out of the rubble, yelled, and ran to Scáthach's side, shouting angrily.

"Lancer, stop standing around! Quickly wipe out these guys who are destroying my workshop!!"

This scene made Artoria on the other side exclaim that the other party was stupid.

In this situation, his appearance only disrupts Scáthach's battle rhythm and distracts the Queen of the Land of Shadows as she tries to protect him. Hiding and waiting until the end would have given her a chance of survival, but showing herself now means certain death! You must remember that there are Assassins on the battlefield.

Upon seeing Kenneth's Master appear, the Assassins who were searching through the ruins immediately rushed over. Countless dark figures fell into the night, and within a few breaths, a hundred figures gathered, which were all the individuals of the Hundred-Faced Hassan, and they all focused their attention on this untimely lemon-headed man.
