The situation was urgent, and Waver was not prepared to argue with him any further. He simply raised his hand and prepared to use the Command Spell to control him and forcibly take everyone away.

But the next moment, Luo Wei spoke up to stop them.

"Wait a moment, Weber, and Mr. Kenneth, the situation is not that bad, calm down first."

"Luo Wei? It's already this late, what else are you going to do?!"

Seeing Rowe's calm expression, Kenneth roared.

The situation was so dire, how could he still be so calm? If he didn't run away, it would be too late!

In response, Iskandar answered the question for Lowe the next moment.

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

"Although I don't know the reason, it seems this guy had anticipated this situation a long time ago. Therefore, the floors we are on have been modified by the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom. It seems to be isolated from the other floors. It is now in a state of stagnation, so we won't fall for the time being."

As he spoke, Iskandar even opened the curtains to add a little credibility.

In the dust raised by the collapse of the building, hundreds of densely packed purple runes were seen scattered across the walls, reinforcing the exterior of the three-story building where they were and making its structure independent. As a result, even though they were now in a shaky building, they were still not greatly affected.

It was because he knew this that he was not panicked just now.

Because Iskandar knew clearly, and there was a military advisor here who had obviously predicted this situation and had prepared countermeasures.

In this case, there is no need for him to do this, as it might even ruin the countermeasures.

"Did you... predict this situation in advance?"

Seeing the situation outside, Kenneth was stunned, then looked at Luo Wei in surprise who was still calm and asked.

"Well, not really. I was just defending against Emiya Kiritsugu. After all, from our fight last night, I could tell that he wasn't the type to conduct a magic ritual fairly."

Facing Kenneth's question, Rowe remained calm and said casually, "So I asked Scathach to help me make some preparations in advance. I didn't expect it would actually be used."

"Is that so? Well, it's all thanks to you."

Kenneth secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Luo Wei's answer.

In this critical moment, having just been rescued, he obviously had no reason to doubt Luo Wei. Moreover, everything Luo Wei did at this moment was to help him.

"Haha, what a good boy! You were able to make such an accurate judgment in just one night. You're truly a good strategist! If this were my opponent in my time, he would definitely be a serious threat to me!"

"How about it? Are you interested in joining my army? When I regain my body, I will appoint you as my military advisor, and together we will conquer the world!"

Seeing Luo Wei's performance, Iskandar smiled generously, his love for talent rose again, and he actually started to win him over.

"No, Your Highness, I am merely a strategist. I cannot be considered a military advisor or counselor."

Luo Wei shook his head and thought to himself, "It's just that I have the advantage of foresight..."

——Boom! !

As everyone chatted, several RPG rounds suddenly whizzed in from a distance and exploded directly on the windows. Apparently, the attackers outside had also noticed the abnormality on the third floor, so they continued their fierce attack.

Although the explosion did not hit him, the violent shaking and the fireworks so close still made Kenneth's heart beat fast.

"Luo Wei, do you have any other countermeasures? Continuing like this is not a solution. If the opponent releases his Noble Phantasm, even the workshop strengthened by runes will be unable to resist!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Kenneth quickly shouted at Luo Wei. He just wanted to know how to solve this dilemma.

"Of course, please be patient..."

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

"King of Conquerors, we exchanged information when I met Waver, so I know your Noble Phantasm. Now is the perfect time for you to take action."

"My Noble Phantasm? Do you want me to…"

"Let's use the inherent barrier to move the floor we're on. That way, they won't be able to launch an attack."

Seeing that Iskandar was puzzled, Luo Wei gave him a special reminder.

"As expected, I understand."

When Iskandar heard what Luo Wei said, his eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Luo Wei meant and couldn't help but praise him.

"As expected of a military advisor, you actually have this trick up your sleeve! Why didn't I think of it?"

On the other side, when the anxious Weber and Kenneth heard Rowe asking Rider to activate the inherent barrier, their eyes widened and they exclaimed in disbelief.

"Rider! You actually know how to create an inherent barrier? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

In their view, the impact of the red-haired gorilla Iskandar's ability to create inherent barriers was no less than that of Emiya Kiritsugu's bombardment of the magic workshop.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this red-haired gorilla can't possibly be a match for a magician, right?!

In response to the astonishment on their faces, Iskandar simply scratched his head and replied casually.

"Except for this brat, none of you has asked this king."

"..."

The atmosphere in the room fell into dead silence for a moment.

……

……

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!

As an expert in high-rise blasting, Kiritsugu Emiya generously fired a few rockets at Kenneth.

The brilliant fireworks and explosions were particularly dazzling in the dim night.

Under the combined effects of multiple targeted explosions and Emiya Kiritsugu's relentless RPG barrage, the towering building, once precariously crumbling in mid-air, finally collapsed. Even the three-story workshop, previously specialized for magecraft, was now completely submerged in dust.

Outside, standing on a tall building in the distance, Emiya Kiritsugu held a telescope and watched everything happening over there with indifference.

When he saw the last three floors of the building collapse, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, all the mysteries would seem vulnerable in the face of sufficient firepower. Even the monarch who chased and slashed at him last night would be buried directly in the ruins under the roar of artillery fire.

Now the strongholds of the Heroic Spirit of the Gun, Godkiller Finn, and the Lord of Minerals have been completely destroyed, and even their lives are uncertain.

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

Without his workshop and seriously injured, Kenneth will inevitably be exposed, and this will be his most vulnerable time.

So Kiritsugu Emiya sent Saber to clean up the battlefield without hesitation, and let her hold back the God Slayer Finn, and then let all the Assassins go out to assassinate Kenneth directly.

Tonight, this will be the end of Lancer.

"I never thought 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 had expected, but Scathach who had been waiting here for a long time.

At this moment, the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom was standing alone on the ruins. Her crimson eyes coldly swept over Artoria who had just arrived, with a hint of a smile on her face.

"..."

Altria did not answer. She calmly glanced at her surroundings with a grim expression.

"I thought the famous King Arthur was a noble hero, a true knight. I never thought he would use such extreme tactics, even involving civilians for the sake of victory."

Noticing Saber's worried look, Scathach sneered and spoke sarcastically.

"Although it's common to resort to any means necessary in war, since you've already done it, why not just fight honestly and do whatever it takes to win? Who are you trying to show off to with this compassionate look?"

"...I am speechless about this outcome, Queen Scathach."

Seeing the tragic scene around her, Artoria closed her eyes, feeling unbearable in her heart.

"Sentimentality doesn't make a good warrior... So, these are the Assassins who haven't left yet, right? They appeared together because they couldn't find any trace of their Master in the ruins, so they're turning their attention to me."

Scathach looked around at the dark shadows appearing around her, and she had already made up her mind about the situation on the battlefield.

"Where are Saber, Assassin, and that golden Archer? Why didn't they come together this time?"

"I have no idea……"

Artoria shook her head. She was also dissatisfied with Kiritsugu Emiya's cruel behavior, so she answered almost every question from Scathach.

However, what she didn't expect was that although Kayneth's Servant was Lancer, it was not Finn as they expected, but the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom...

But none of that matters now.

Because with the appearance of a golden figure in the ruins, the battle has come to an end.

Kenneth, looking disheveled, crawled out of the ruins, then ran to Scathach, shouting loudly.

"Lancer, don't just stand there! Quickly eliminate these guys who are destroying my workshop!!"

Seeing this scene, Artoria on the opposite side called the other party stupid.

Under these circumstances, his appearance would only disrupt Scathach's battle rhythm and distract the Queen of Shadow Country from protecting him. He could have hidden himself and waited it out, giving her a glimmer of hope, but showing up now would mean certain death! Remember, Assassin was on the battlefield.

Seeing the appearance of Kenneth, the Master, the Assassins who were searching in the ruins immediately rushed over here. Countless black shadows kept falling in the night, and in just a few breaths, hundreds of figures gathered together, that is, all the instances of Hassan the Hundred Faces, and they all aimed at this untimely lemon-head.

In response, Scathach just glanced at Kenneth, and then the two of them smiled knowingly and nodded silently.

Especially Kenneth, although he looked angry on the outside, his mouth was about to burst with laughter on the inside.

All Assassin members are here, and Saber is also on the scene. Maybe they can really wipe out all the opponents in one wave this time.

As a monarch, his thoughts were naturally clear in this critical moment. How could he not know that if he rashly ran out, he would become a huge flaw on the battlefield? He would also hinder Lancer's progress... Even if he was stupid, he wouldn't do it like he did now.

But by the same token, if you don't expose such a big flaw, how can you lure all the fish into the trap?

The other party formed an alliance to exploit the information gap, right?

Don't blame him for being rude. They had already completed the alliance a long time ago, and the quality was no worse than the other side's.

So Kenneth and Rowe’s plan was very simple, use themselves as bait, lure the snake out of its hole, and then catch it all in one fell swoop!

"Great! As expected, there's a God Slayer who belongs to that monarch. If we get rid of him, we can reduce a major threat!"

At this moment, observing Kayneth's appearance through his familiar, Tōsaka Tokiomi excitedly stood up. He then hurriedly instructed Kotomine Kirei beside him to spare no effort and send all Assassins into the battlefield to eliminate this threat.

"..."

Regarding this, Kotomine Kirei's expression remained indifferent. He looked at the image transmitted back by the familiar, and vaguely had a bad premonition in his heart. He was about to speak up to dissuade it, but when he saw Tōsaka Tokiomi's excited expression, a thought suddenly emerged in his mind...

'I want to see what kind of expression the teacher will make if this is really a trap?' I had this dangerous thought.

On the other hand, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was a little strange when he saw Kayneth appear.

"It actually came out so easily... Strange, very strange..."

Although he couldn't put it into words, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was shrouded in an indescribable sense of foreboding.

Meanwhile, the assistant Hisau Maiya silently asked, "Kiritsugu, Saber really won't attack El-Melloi."

"As expected, letting King Arthur do this finishing work and the unjust two-on-one battle is already the limit for her. With her personality, she will definitely not attack the Master directly, unless... she uses the Command Spell!"

"But this will mean a complete break between us and Saber..."

Hisau Maiya was of course aware of the impact this matter would cause, so she wanted to dissuade Emiya Kiritsugu beside her.

But at this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was extremely uneasy, didn't care about these things.

The most important trump card is that his wife Irisviel is missing, he is collaborating with Tōsaka Tokiomi to get something from the tiger, and his compatibility with Saber is too bad.

At this moment, he has no other choice.

There is no time to hesitate. If you want to win, you must seize every opportunity.

We must fight quickly and eliminate as many enemies as possible at all costs!

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu did not hesitate any longer. His eyes fixed, and he directly used his own Command Seal.

"Give the order in the name of the Command Seals, Saber! Attack Kayneth immediately and eliminate them swiftly!!"

--call out!!

A flash of red light disappeared, and the red mark on the back of the hand disappeared.

On the battlefield.

"I'm sorry, Lancer. It's not my intention to fight you in these circumstances, but..."

Although Assassin kept urging her to take action, Artoria did not attack them directly, but continued to talk with Scathach until...

"Kiritsugu!!"
