Or, why don’t you find another savior?

It seems like a celebration, but also like an expression of emotion, making it difficult to distinguish between joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

"What a mad king! Compared to Cu Chulainn who fought the Magic King to death, you are just a beast that only knows how to bite." He laughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Even Master misjudged you."

The Mad King is still alive at this moment, but he is more seriously injured than Xi Jian and cannot move until he recovers.

Xi Jian leaned on his magic wand, barely bent down, and picked up the red spear that fell on the ground: "I'll use this... to chop off your head?"

Having said that, because of the switch in positions, he took a heavy blow from Scathach's Noble Phantasm and was no longer able to use spearmanship that could have cut off a head.

Moreover, there are two servants here.

Arjuna pulled the bowstring tight, but was unable to release the fatal arrow.

Maeve jumped out: "How dare you make my little Ku look like this——"

She raised the whip in her hand, wanting to knock Xiomi down and teach this hateful guy a lesson.

Scathach stabbed out with the red spear in her hand, repelling Maeve, and then knocked down several arrows shot by Arjuna.

"We can't fight any more, let's go." Scathach hugged Shiomi in her arms and whispered.

The pseudo-inherent barrier suddenly began to collapse, and the wind and snow suddenly intensified, making it almost impossible for Maeve to open her eyes. Arjuna's vision could not even penetrate the wind and snow.

After a moment, the surroundings turned back into the White House square, with only the seriously injured and dying Cu Chulainn, Maeve and Arjuna still there.

"The breath... has disappeared." Arjuna sighed after sensing it briefly.

Maeve had already started taking out the Holy Grail to heal Cu Chulainn's injuries and ignored this.

------

In the forest dozens of kilometers away.

"It's okay... It will take a little time to recover." Xi Jian raised his hand and looked at his palm that was stained red. "The curse strengthened by the Holy Grail is really not simple... If you don't experience it yourself, you can't understand the principle behind it."

"Don't waste your energy talking."

Scathach tried to heal Shiomi, and he started coughing again.

It looks very pessimistic, but it's just an appearance.

She knew very well that the curse of the magic spear would not take Shiomi's life. The curses that were hindering the treatment were competing with the power that he had just entered, and were being eliminated bit by bit by the power.

If there hadn't been a curse, Xiomi would probably be full of energy by now.

Even though 80% of his internal organs and body were damaged, he was still able to survive.

"It's okay... The last time the Magic King killed me directly, and even the resurrection rune I prepared was destroyed, but I didn't die." Shiomi knew his situation and comforted his master with a smile.

"Your reaction was so fast, as if... you knew all this in advance." Scathach asked seriously, "That magic..."

To swap your position with that of your target, you need to prepare the technique in advance.

It was at that moment that Scathach realized why he had left that spell on her last night.

"I didn't know it in advance. I had a nightmare before coming here." Xi Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I dreamed that Master was seriously injured by the red spear..."

"I see." Scathach picked up Shiomi and said, "What are you going to do next? Wait until you recover before attacking?"

"No, let's go meet up with everyone first." Shiomi smiled with a masterful smile, "If Maeve uses the Holy Grail to heal the Mad King, she won't have time to create new warriors. Otherwise, it will delay the Mad King's return to the front line."

Regardless, this raid was not without results.

From the beginning to the end, Maeve was unable to figure out the true nature of Shiomi, and she never thought that he could recover to his original state in just one day, which was even more efficient than the Magic King's Holy Grail.

"I see. Then let's go meet up with everyone first."

Scathach rested her chin against Shiomi's forehead, which was resting on her chest, and agreed with a faint smile.

She is now very excited.

Because he had already walked ahead of her, this time, she, as his master, needed to catch up.

Chapter 64: Current Situation after Regrouping

Three days later, in the southern city of Dallas.

After recovering, Shiomi and Scathach spent two days returning to Chicago, the closest U.S. military front to Washington.

"I'm finally back. Mother couldn't get in touch with Dad in Chaldea. I only know that Dad is near death again."

When Kallen saw Shiomi appear at the door of the municipal building, she sighed and seemed to finally let go of the worry in her heart.

"I'm sorry, after all, my master and I formed a team to raid the enemy's base camp, so we had to stay hidden as much as possible." Shiomi explained with a wry smile.

Of course, this was not because Shiomi deliberately cut off Chaldea's communications because she wanted to hang out with her master, but rather a more serious fact about the actual existence of this singularity -

"In fact, I also want to keep in touch all the time. After all, it was my husband who personally carried out the decapitation operation in the enemy's base camp." Morgan said after connecting the communication, "But this singularity is slightly different. As the Celtic army advances and the land is included in their sphere of influence, it will be more difficult for Chaldea to observe the situation inside the singularity."

Having penetrated deep into the Celtic army's base camp, Shiomi had already entered an area that was difficult to "observe", so this result was not surprising.

"If we continue to allow the Celtic forces to continue to expand their territory, the singularity of Buddha will gradually extend into a belt, and eventually encompass the entire United States in a true sense." Morgan said this with a thoughtful expression, "Yes, by then it is still unknown whether it would be more appropriate to call it a Lostbelt instead of a Singularity Belt."

"Lostbelt?" Xijian was a little surprised.

He had heard of this term a little, but it was something that was rarely mentioned in the world of magicians. It was an unpopular concept discussed in the operation of parallel worlds involved in the second magic.

——The dean of Atlas Academy, Zibia, also observes countless parallel worlds at any time.

"Just kidding. Everyone is waiting for my husband and his master to come back to discuss the next strategy." Morgan skipped the topic, as if it was just a metaphor she made casually.

Xi Jian nodded and asked in return: "So how is the situation here during the time we were apart? Even Dallas has been occupied, so there must be other things happening, right?"

"Well, during the time we were tying down the main force of the Celtic Army, we also solved a lot of problems." Kallen took Shiomi and Scathach into the municipal building, went to the meeting room, and explained to Shiomi and the others the changes that had taken place in the past few days.

After separating from him and Scathach, the servants led by Kallen were divided into two groups, one large and one small, according to the information obtained from Fergus.

Kallen, Nightingale and Geronimo took Rama to the prison island, where they did find Sita, but Sita transferred the curse to herself in order to remove it from Rama, and then left. But Rama was able to recover.

This also became an important force to return to the feint troops and catch up with Edison and Karna when they raided everyone.

After Rama held back Karna, thanks to Nightingale's efforts, Edison was finally persuaded by "physics" and was willing to give up his previous plan and cooperate with Chaldea and third-party forces to fight against the Celtic army.

"It sounds like you have gained a lot." Scathach praised, "As expected of my beloved disciple's daughter, you are an excellent master who can handle things on your own."

Xi Jian felt a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Yes, Karin has achieved so many results, but Master and I are not doing well enough—"

As they spoke, they pushed open the door of the council hall. The Edison camp, Geronimo and his party, and the servants that Scathach had summoned earlier, all sat inside waiting for their return.

Of course, because among the servants summoned by Scathach was Tesla, Edison's archenemy, the conference hall was already very lively before they arrived.

Edison and Tesla had been arguing, and then stopped when Helena yelled at them.

Such a scene happened right before Shiomi's eyes.

"Seeing that you two escaped unscathed, and I heard from the Master earlier that Chaldea noticed that your condition was critical..." Geronimo asked solemnly, "Did the operation to assassinate the Mad King fail?"

Shiomi pulled out an empty chair. "That's about right. The Mad King and I were both seriously injured, but that was three days ago. Now, there are two possibilities: either the Mad King has been almost fully recovered by Maeve using the Holy Grail, or Maeve is still using the Holy Grail to create new Celtic warriors."

"That is to say, there will always be one side that cannot be taken care of?" Robin Hood spoke in his usual casual tone, "No wonder the Celtic warriors on the front line are not reinforcing their troops fast enough..."

"Then Maeve used the Holy Grail to treat Cu Chulainn first." Scathach sat down on the chair that Shiomi pulled out.

Now there were no chairs left in the meeting room, so he could only stand by the table and nod in agreement.

"If that's the case, it's already a very outstanding result." Rama expressed his affirmative attitude, and others nodded.

Rama had fought with the Mad King before, so he knew the man's strength. He was able to seriously injure the other party to the point that he had to disperse the power of the Holy Grail, a result that even the young king admired very much.

"As for the reason why the assassination failed..." Shiomi said, "It was because in the base camp, in addition to the Mad King and Maeve, there was a third servant, which caused my master and I to misjudge the combat power of both sides--"

His gaze now turned to Karna: "--But we already know the other party's real name, his name is Arjuna."

"Arjuna?!" Rama was the first to show a surprised expression.

Afterwards, knowledgeable servants like Helena and Geronimo were also surprised.

Karna, who had been waiting in silence, spoke with understanding at this time: "I see, with that man helping the Mad King, it is understandable that the two of you cannot take down your target."

"That's right." Xijian did not hide this fact.

Arjuna is a very powerful Servant. Even if Shiomi provokes him, he cannot kill him quickly.

There is no doubt about this.

Morgan, who was supporting Chaldea, spoke again. She used the device on Shiomi's wrist to project a map onto the center of the conference table in the meeting hall: "In terms of the number of Servants alone, we now have thirteen Servants and two Masters, which is enough to hold a Holy Grail War on our own."

"But the Celtic Army has only a few confirmed servants, including heroes like Fergus, Finn, and Diarmuid who are famous in myths and legends, as well as Beowulf stationed on the prison island, plus the magical beasts that can multiply infinitely and the Celtic warriors." Helena added seriously, "The war between us will determine the fate of this era and even the world."

Chapter 65 Large-Scale Contract

Although they also have Chaos Mechanical Soldiers that are capable of dealing with Celtic Warriors and Warcraft, the overall situation is 40:60.

Who is fourth and who is sixth is a matter of opinion.

"Well... this matter is actually very easy to resolve." Scathach tapped the table with her finger, "My beloved disciple, Kallen, the next war, how to proceed should be decided by you."

"How can such an important matter be entrusted to two people..." Edison was about to refute Scathach's opinion, but after seeing Shiomi, he swallowed the word "human".

The main force of this battle is indeed the heroic spirits, but the reason why these heroic spirits choose to fight and resist Maeve's Celtic army is precisely for the humans who live in the "present".

Therefore, the direction of this battle should be in the hands of humans.

“About this…” Kallen showed a rare look of distress.

She was not troubled by the heavy responsibility that suddenly fell on her shoulders, but by the fact that she suddenly became a representative of mankind.

Honestly speaking, Karin has no likes or dislikes towards humans or the human world. It's just that her most important family lives there, so she is willing to help solve the human burning.

Rather, she actually enjoyed seeing the reactions of everyone who was struggling and suffering in the face of this unprecedented crisis.

"Karen." Shiomi reminded softly.

Kallen came back to her senses and nodded: "My opinion will not differ from that of my father, so can you speak for me?"

"In the end it all falls on me again. I feel relieved to see that you're still the same as always." Shiomi touched Kallen's silver wavy hair lovingly.

He stood up from the table, stood at the end of the long table, and looked at the servants present:

"Before deciding what to do, I would like to discuss with you something that can improve our combat effectiveness."

"What's the matter?" Billy the Kid was very concerned.

The closer a Servant like him is to the modern era, the thinner his mystery is and the more problematic his combat effectiveness is.

In contrast, Li Shuwen, who was previously recruited by Scathach, can only be regarded as an exception.

"Except for Master and Nightingale, the rest are all Servants without Masters. In other words, they are Masterless Servants." Shiomi said, "Although the Celtic Army's Servants also don't have a formal Master, they all obey Maeve and receive the magic power provided by the Holy Grail."

In short, there is a gap in magic power between the two sides.

"I see. So my husband wants to conclude a contract with all the remaining Servants in this singularity?" Morgan sighed. "What an indecent act."

“Don’t make it sound like it’s something weird, okay…” Xi Jian finally managed to become serious, but was disrupted by Morgan’s words.

His speech naturally caused a commotion in the chamber.

The reason is very simple. Theoretically, a Master can only contract with one Servant. Even if the Master is excellent, two or three is already the limit. However, Shiomi has to be the Master at the same time and support all the Servants here.

"If that happens, you won't be able to move, right?" Helena broke out in a cold sweat.

She didn't know if the young man wanted to win too much and ignored the real dangers.

"Don't worry. Although Wufu signed the contract with you as the Master, Chaldea's support system will share more than half of the consumption of magic power." Morgan's eyes swept across the Servants present. "Besides, let's not talk about the others for now. The Servants who have fought Wufu properly should know his strength very well."

"He is indeed a very formidable opponent. If I were the Master, I would be able to fight with all my strength." Karna agreed.

"Having said that, it's a pretty crazy idea to make contracts with so many Servants at the same time without the support of the Holy Grail." Scathach supported her chin with one hand, her fingertips caressing her face absentmindedly.

But because he was her disciple, Scathach decided to trust his judgment.

The servants here all understand the pros and cons very well. If Shiomi is in danger, everyone will terminate the contract in advance and return to a masterless state.

As a result, Shiomi's proposal was agreed upon by the servants one after another, and even Helena and Geronimo, who were Casters, planned to wait and see.

Then Xi Jian stepped back a few steps and cut his palm. A stream of blood flowed out from his palm and slowly dissipated in the air, finally turning into a red magic circle.

The light of the magic circle changed from red to silver-white, then fell to the ground and spread regularly along the ground.

A special large-scale contract ritual that requires the Servants present to choose whether to accept it.

Originally, this was the type of spell that magi would use when making contracts with ordinary familiars, but now it was used to make contracts with Heroic Spirits, which could be considered high-level familiars.

After accepting the contract, the magic circle patterns at their feet gradually lit up, and a strong wind swept across the entire meeting room. Kallen and Nightingale, who were not involved in the contract, could not help but raise their hands to block it.
