After waiting for a whole night, Gilgamesh did not arrive, but he received a report from the assassin Hassan the Hundred Faces.
"The area around the Matou residence has completely turned into a fortress. It's difficult to sneak in without alerting the owner."
Listening to Hassan the Hundred Faces' report, Kotomine Kirei was not surprised at all.
"It seems that the Matou family is still fighting alone for the time being, and that old man likes to send his granddaughter, well, granddaughter, to the Emiya family. This should be an act of scouting the enemy.
"You've been preparing for this so long? You must be an old fox."
Hassan the Hundred Faces nodded and continued to report the information he had obtained.
"The Tohsaka family didn't set up many barriers, but after entering, there wasn't much information either. It was obvious that no one had lived there for several days."
"No one lives there? Did she feel it was unsafe to stay at home all the time, so she left early?" Kotomine Kirei pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "It seems she still has some ideas of her own, different from her father's. However, it's not that simple for a magus to rebuild his position. It will cost a lot of money. She probably doesn't have the money..."
Kotomine Kirei said this and looked at Hassan the Hundred Faces: "Go on."
Hassan the Hundred Faces continued, “The barriers surrounding the Emiya and Einzbern families are also very powerful, and the alert is extremely high.
"Although the Einzbern family's barrier won't keep anyone out, it will definitely trigger an alert once you enter. I searched for footprints outside and confirmed one thing.
"A girl who looked to be in her teens left the castle but didn't return."
"Didn't go back?!"
"Yes, judging by the footprints and other traces, he definitely didn't go back. Judging by the direction of the footprints, he clearly came to the city. However, the city environment is cleaned every day, making it difficult to continue tracking."
Hassan paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I found her footprints outside the Emiya residence. Besides her, there were also footprints of many other people. There must be quite a few people staying in the Emiya residence."
"Then you can't get in?"
"It's completely blocked. The only way in is through the main gate. But the gate is also enchanted. You have to be invited in by someone inside to open the door. It's a very special spell that I find difficult to decipher..."
Hassan the Hundred Faces' words made Kotomine Kirei open his eyes wide in surprise, and then he fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he looked at the servants who belonged to him alone at the scene and suddenly realized.
"Since Hassan said that many people are in the Emiya household, then this matter is very likely to be true. Although all the judgments are based on traces such as footprints, as an assassin, it is not possible to make a mistake in this regard.
"I was wondering why the Holy Grail suddenly summoned so many Servants to me, and even formed them into a team. This has almost never happened in the history of the Holy Grail War. This can only mean that the Holy Grail has discovered a huge problem, which will make it impossible for the Holy Grail War to continue.
"The current situation is most likely that Emiya Shirou has gathered most of the Masters and made them obey his orders, becoming an alliance. They don't even intend to fight each other...
"The Holy Grail will not allow this kind of thing to happen. A Servant must die in order for the Holy Grail to appear. That's what happened to me, and I summoned seven new Servants directly!
"Looking at it this way, it's still very dangerous to attack Emiya Shirou directly. He's definitely surrounded by Servants. If we want to get rid of this troublesome guy, we need to seize an opportunity...
"Well, do we attack him at school? Perhaps during class. If we attack him by surprise, he won't have time to summon his servants to help.
"But we can't be completely sure that the leader of this alliance is Shirou Emiya. Maybe it's someone from the Einzbern family... As for Rin, it's impossible. She doesn't have the brains for it."
After immediately rejecting the possibility of Tōsaka Rin becoming the leader of the alliance, Kotomine Kirei once again thought of Gilgamesh who had not yet returned.
"Could it be that he ran over there and was beaten up by a group of people, leading to his death?"
Kotomine Kirei thought about it, and with the intention of confirming the other party's safety, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the Ancient King, who already had his own mobile phone.
Unable to connect!
No one answered the call!
Being out of the service area can indicate a big problem!
Kotomine Kirei narrowed his eyes and said to the group of people nearby, "Everyone, it's time for us to prepare to contribute to this Holy Grail War!"
It seems that I must be prepared now!
Chapter 100 Joan of Arc
"I say, isn't it a bad idea to sneak attack a girl like this? This goes against the way of chivalry!" Early in the morning, Astolfo, who was sent to monitor Toosaka Rin and Matou Sakura, kept torturing his companion's ears.
Robin Hood gently touched his ear and frowned, saying, "Are you really a knight from Roland's time?"
"What's wrong? Roland is my brother!" Astolfo said, even with his hands on his hips, looking very proud.
Hearing the other party say this, Robin Hood sighed softly. Roland's younger brother obviously didn't seem to have any rationality at all. He did things completely according to his own preferences, but he was very careful about chivalry. If you must say, it seemed like he liked this very much, so he had to abide by it.
"You have to understand, we are not here to deal with ordinary people, we are here to deal with the enemy. As long as they are enemies, there is no difference between children and adults.
"When these people took up arms and participated in this Holy Grail War, they expressed their willingness to bear all consequences, knowing their lives were in danger."
Robin Hood tried his best to explain, or rather, brainwash, Astolfo. Astolfo nodded slightly, but then shook his head and said, "I still think we should negotiate first. As long as we negotiate well, maybe we can understand each other."
Robin Hood tried hard to resist the urge to hold his forehead. He felt that he should firmly oppose letting Astolfo come with him to conduct surveillance. Would this guy really not betray and go to the other side?
Oh, yes, with the Command Spell, he shouldn't betray to the other side, but even so, will this guy really not cause the surveillance to fail?
He now strongly suspected that his team was sent out for surveillance, but he did not allow Diarmuid, the obviously chivalrous spearman, to form a team with Astolfo, probably to prevent the two of them from getting together and running to the other side.
My role is to restrain Astolfo and serve as a bait.
Of course, it would be better if the surveillance mission could be truly completed.
Robin Hood thought so, and felt more and more that his speculation was correct.
At this moment, he suddenly focused his attention.
Because he saw the target this time.
Two girls with great figures were walking one in front and one behind, and there was a young man walking at the back, looking a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know what to say.
Looking at the three men, Robin Hood snorted, "They're walking together. Does that mean they're working together now? A complete alliance, right? Judging by the information from the Holy Grail, we're being summoned as a team this time because the enemy is facing a situation where casualties are unlikely to occur."
"Eh? So these three are all Servants, and they're working together? But based on the information the Master gave us, that shouldn't be the case!"
"It's normal for the head of the Matou family to have his own ideas, but you can't guarantee that the younger generation will completely obey him. The Master analyzed the situation based on the head of the family, but forgot to analyze this woman. She is a participant in this Holy Grail War.
"I can sense the presence of a Servant, and it has been following her. Although it has become a spirit, it has not concealed its presence."
Robin Hood immediately made an analysis based on his rich life experience and even frowned.
"If the three of them really cooperate and reach a situation that even the Holy Grail would find difficult, then we're the only two here now, and that's going to be troublesome."
"Trouble? There's no trouble. Since we can't beat them, just watch!" Astolfo said immediately.
Seeing Astolfo say this without any pressure, Robin Hood felt helpless, but also relieved.
It’s great not to have to bring this guy along for sneak attacks or anything like that!
……
Another place.
Hassan the Hundred Faces arrived outside the Emiya residence at an extremely fast speed. In addition to him, there were several other people, including the berserker Qingji, the swordsman Giles, and the spearman Diarmait.
"While the masters are at school, how about killing the fallen Berserkers? That's a good plan." Diarmait said, and gently took out his two weapons, a red spear and a yellow pistol.
These two guns look very dangerous and full of mystery.
"The best option is to burn this place down directly. As long as this area is burned down, the barrier here can be effectively dealt with." Hassan Baimao said in a low voice.
Then Hassan Baimao looked at Qingji. This woman looked weak, but she clearly had the aura of a dragon and was also full of the aura of fire. If she took action, she could easily burn this place to ashes.
"There's only a child inside, right? I've said it's not human, but if I just fight..." Diarmait was still a little reluctant. "If I could, I'd rather fight the Servant inside, even if it's just for victory..."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then we can just go together. There's no need to actually involve a child."
"Your morals are indeed high, but Diarmait, don't forget that this is war. In war, as long as the enemy is not dead and has not been disarmed, then we must pay attention and be careful, otherwise more people will die. Put away your fearless kindness, it is not needed here."
Giles said this and looked at Qingji again: "Besides, with Ms. Qingji's ability, controlling the flames to destroy the barrier in this area and prevent it from spreading to the surrounding areas is already our greatest concession, isn't it?"
Hearing his companion's words, Diarmait could only sigh and shake his head, saying, "Okay, I understand."
This was originally the Master's plan. While several Masters were at school, he wanted to get rid of the lone people here as quickly as possible.
Qingji smiled and walked forward. Just as she was about to use her treasure, the door suddenly opened.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what this meant.
Then, a man came out and politely saluted several people with his chest, and even stood aside.
"Come in, if you want to fight, just come inside and fight."
The man had a gentlemanly smile and elegant manners, and his suit made him look out of place among the Japanese-style architecture here.
"boom!"
Without any hesitation, Qingji launched an attack the moment she sensed the aura of the other party's servant. Violent flames appeared from around her body and swept towards the other party.
That is a treasure called Samadhi True Fire. It can burn itself and everything around it. It is Qingji's most powerful attack!
But when the flames approached the man, the man just smiled and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, a large amount of water flow appeared out of thin air around. These water flows wrapped up the flame at a very fast speed, compressed inward, and turned into a small water ball at a very fast speed. Then, the man held the small water ball in his hand and gently threw it into the sky.
The water ball dissipated, and along with the flames inside it, it disappeared, turning into water vapor all over the sky. Under the sunlight, it actually reflected a colorful bridge.
This scene made several people hold their weapons involuntarily. The strength displayed by the mysterious man in front of them was too terrifying. And looking at the opponent's panel, as far as everyone could see, he was just an archer.
Is this how a bowman's magic skills are now?!
"Qingji, Diarmait, and a Joan of Arc fan." Morpheus touched his chin and commented on the people who came to the door of his house. Then he turned his body slightly to the side, stretched out his hand and grabbed the knife light that appeared behind him.
A faint light flickered on Morpheus's hand, and the captured weapon could not break through this layer of defense.
Then he pulled again, pulling the owner of the knife out from the shadows.
"Add Hassan, tell me, how did you show up?"
Seeing Morpheus easily take the assassin's attack and even revealing the identity of each person without any pressure, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this moment, a laugh suddenly appeared. Everyone looked towards the direction where the laughter came from. It was Qingji.
She pointed at Giles and said, "Jeanne of Arc fans, I have to say this is absolutely correct!"
"Joan of Arc is the greatest being ever, and even God cannot replace her!" Giles immediately retorted, then asked, "How do you know our identities?"
"I have some knowledge of divination. I can easily figure out your identities with a simple divination." Morpheus smiled and asked again, "Come in? It will be safer if you come in to fight. There won't be too many traps."
"Ha, you set a trap inside, and now you want us to go in? Brother, you can't treat people as fools!" Diarmait shook his head. "Besides, you are alone here. Do you really think you can deal with us?"
"One person? Although I'm not the only Servant here, there are several others, but in fact, I am enough to deal with all of you." Morpheus didn't seem to care at all. He even added: "I mean, in addition to you guys, plus the others. If I'm not mistaken, the Holy Grail summoned seven extra Servants, right?"
Wild talk, arrogance, but the strength that the other party just displayed, the powerful force between his every move, has made several people feel the gap in pure strength.
However, fighting is not just about pure strength!
Diarmait, holding his weapon, had already entered the battle phase. However, Morpheus shook his head and said, "Let me remind you first that I am very familiar with your weapon. The red one was given to you by your adoptive father. It has magic-breaking properties and is said to be defenseless only through physical means.
"The yellow one is a curse. Once it pierces the target, it will cause irreversible damage. Well, at least that's what it says, unless you destroy your Noble Phantasm. But I'm curious, which is more effective, your irreversible curse or the blood of Jesus?"
Diarmait's face looked very ugly at this moment. The battles between the servants and intelligence occupied the majority of his life, but now his underwear had been stripped off by others!
"Forget it. You don't seem to be planning on coming in anyway, so just fight outside. After all, I've already taken care of this area. No one will get hurt even if you tear it down."
When Morpheus said this, everyone suddenly realized that, except for the human presence in the Emiya mansion, there was no trace of anyone else around. There was not a single living person nearby!
How could such a thing happen in such a large residential area?!
Could it be that? !
"What did you do to the people here?!" Diarmait asked hurriedly.
Morpheus shrugged and said, "I just dispelled it. Don't worry, I'm not a murderer. I have no interest in it." Then Morpheus looked at Giles and asked, "By the way, who is the magician you summoned this time? Don't tell me it was Giles."
Everyone's expressions changed again, and Morpheus noticed this change, which made him sigh: "Okay, I get it. It seems that we still need to deal with that troublesome thing!"
"Do you need help?" Giles' eyes widened instantly at the sudden voice. He stared at the woman who appeared before him, his face full of fanaticism: "Joan of Arc! Joan of Arc really appeared! Great Holy Grail, you really didn't lie to me, Joan of Arc really appeared!"
Hearing such fanatical voices, Artoria, who had gone out to investigate, could not help but frown and whispered, "I'm not Jeanne d'Arc, you've got the wrong person!"
This familiar voice, this familiar and terrifying fanaticism, and looking at this somewhat similar appearance, Altria whispered: "Giles?!"
"Yes, that's him. And there's another troublesome thing going on. The Holy Grail has summoned seven new Servants. It seems they are going to act as a team to deal with us. The magician who summoned them is also Giles. You should remember what this guy did during the Fourth War."
This statement startled Altria: "Shirou is in danger!"
"There's no danger for now, there are people protecting them, but if you're worried you can go over and take a look." Morpheus suggested, "I can handle it here by myself, and if that doesn't work there's another person inside."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Altria rushed out without any hesitation. Relying on the powerful body of a servant, it would definitely not take too long for her to reach the school at full speed.
Even if someone wanted to stop it, it would be useless, because at this moment, Morpheus had already blocked this area!
At this moment, Giles, who was in a frenzy, was using his connection with Kotomine Kirei to talk about his discoveries.
Perhaps, telling Kotomine Kirei was just to let Kotomine Kirei tell this discovery to his other self.
