A fully armed knight, with a crazy fighting spirit, forcibly inserted himself between the two men. It was Mordred who sensed Gilgamesh's fierce fighting spirit.
"Isn't this the golden pickup that made my father look so miserable before... Solomon, can you let me use this guy to relax my muscles?"
For Mordred, she could kill her father, but no one else could.
If she were to encounter another servant now, perhaps Mordred would, for the sake of her ally Solomon, first figure out the situation before considering whether to kill him or not.
But to Gilgamesh, the guy who attacked his father, Mordred was like a cat whose tail was stepped on...his fur immediately exploded.
"Solomon, you are a worthless servant...do you need me to discipline you?"
After looking at Gilgamesh, Solomon made a gesture to the two of them to please go ahead, and then openly cast several strengthening magic on Mordred.
After doing all this, Solomon walked to the side of the road with a calm expression, leaving the wide street to the two of them.
Faced with Solomon's actions, Gilgamesh, whose eyes had been burning with anger because of Mordred's words about the golden pickup, suddenly regained his composure.
It is obvious that Solomon's attitude at this time clearly shows that he stands on Mordred's side.
"Forget it, I'll leave this bastard's life to you for now, but Solomon... I 'hope' you can protect her to the end..."
39. Kenneth wants to quit...
"Forget it, I'll leave this bastard's life to you for now, but Solomon... I 'hope' you can protect her to the end..."
Seeing Gilgamesh suppress his fighting spirit, he turned and left.
Mordred, who has a weird personality and can even be described as a big naughty child, is unwilling to do that.
"You want to run away, man?"
"Run away? Haha... I just don't want to fight with a scoundrel like you..."
Add oil to the fire.
Mordred stared at Gilgamesh's back and gritted his teeth when he heard these words. He was like a lit firecracker and was about to attack Gilgamesh immediately.
But just as Mordred was about to charge at Gilgamesh with surging magic power all over his body.
A golden ripple and an iron chain shining with golden light suddenly appeared beside Mordred.
It looks like a nimble poisonous snake or a flying dragon.
The extremely flexible Heavenly Chains, which had the power to split mountains and rocks, directly stopped Mordred's charge, forcing Mordred to watch Gilgamesh leave calmly.
"You are indeed a poor replica... Compared to your 'father', you are indeed a scumbag..."
He watched helplessly as Gilgamesh and the Heavenly Chain that he was about to capture disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Mordred was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
Mordred glared at Solomon with anger and complaints, gritted his teeth and had nowhere to vent his anger. Finally, he roared and swung his sword, using the buildings on most of the street in front of him as a tool to vent his anger...
It looks like the news of the natural gas explosion will be on the headlines in Fuyuki City again tomorrow.
"I'm going to kill that golden pickup!!!"
"Who did you kill? .....The Servant that His Majesty Solomon just called the King of Heroes?"
The two Servants were dispatched, provoking and shouting at each other. How could the two Clock Tower Lords in the temporary magic workshop not know about it?
In fact, Kenneth had arrived nearby early in the morning, but he had been hiding and had not shown up.
Now that Gilgamesh had left, Kayneth naturally came out from his hiding place.
Kenneth patted the dust on his body, put his hands behind his back, and gave people a sense of majesty and nobility. He walked with standard steps that ordinary models could not match, and walked step by step to the side of Mordred.
"Kenneth, are you going to laugh at me too?"
Mordred took off his armor through magic and changed into a youthful and cool outfit. After hearing Kenneth's seemingly teasing remarks, he rolled his eyes at Kenneth in displeasure.
"Of course I'm not mocking you. You're not the only one who overestimates your own abilities. I'm the same way... I thought this was a magic competition where I could gain merit, but in the end I found out that I was just a bug caught in a spider's web... Your Majesty Solomon, please allow me to withdraw from this Holy Grail War."
Bending over and touching his chest....Facing Solomon's gaze, Kenneth suddenly said something quite shocking for some reason.
"Wha..what! Kenneth you planning on quitting!"
"Yes... But please rest assured, Mordred, I will hold the Command Spell until you and your father decide the winner... But after that, no matter whether you win or lose, I plan to withdraw..."
With a look of bitterness mixed with relief on his face, Kenneth immediately turned to look at Solomon after explaining to Mordred.
At the beginning, the reason why Kenneth accepted Sakura's invitation to participate in the Holy Grail War was actually very simple. He wanted to achieve a merit, a merit that he could present to his "goddess" at the engagement ceremony.
But as time went by, after Solomon was summoned by his predecessor, Marisbili Animusphia, through the holy relic, Kenneth already knew that there was no possibility of winning this time.
However, after seeing the scale of the Holy Grail War (being able to summon Solomon), Kenneth still chose to stay. After all, in a magic ritual 'competition' of such a scale, if he could assist Marisbury in winning, it would not be a wasted trip.
However...Solomon's prophecy and Emiya Kiritsugu's shot completely woke Kenneth up. He knew that if it weren't for Solomon's prophecy, which caused him to wear the "mortal" equipment he had always looked down upon - the bulletproof vest, he would probably have died.
Although Kenneth is arrogant, confident, and even narcissistic... he is definitely not an idiot.
After being woken up, Kenneth re-sorted out all the information he had... and finally figured out his situation... and decided to withdraw.
In fact, before this, Kenneth, who had already made this decision, had been discussing this matter with Marisbury, discussing how to withdraw from the Holy Grail War safely and smoothly.
With a deliberate thoughtful look on his face, Solomon carefully looked at Kenneth in front of him, then turned to look at Marisbury who was walking towards him not far away, and spoke.
"Have you discussed this with the Master?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please allow me to withdraw early..."
"Since you have already discussed it with the Master, I will not ask for the details. But Sir Kenneth, do you really intend to violate the covenant?"
The Covenant was a top-level magic oath created by Solomon after Marisbilly summoned Solomon through the holy relics, and signed by both parties.
Kenneth, who signed the oath, cannot really withdraw from it.
According to the agreement formed by the oath, Kenneth's behavior, which is like breaking the alliance, will be punished by the oath.
"It's okay, Solomon. Kenneth and I have found a loophole in the oath... After a perfect curtain call, Kenneth's departure will not violate the oath."
"A perfect ending... That's it."
When Marisbury spoke, Solomon thought for a moment and then nodded.
Of course, Solomon didn't care at all whether Kenneth withdrew or not. After all... he, Solomon, had basically achieved all the goals of this Holy Grail War.
Plus the "plea" from his current master, future "boss"!
Although Solomon, in his kingly attitude, did have the idea of punishing Kenneth and making him pay a price, he still chose to give in for the sake of Marisbury.
Then let him make a perfect farewell.
Seeing that Solomon agreed to his withdrawal, Kenneth couldn't help feeling relieved.
There is no way. Who can really face the magician in front of Solomon, the king of magicians?
He looked up at the gradually darkening sky, at Marisbury who seemed to always have a smile on his face, at Kenneth who seemed to have relaxed, and at Mordred who looked unhappy but did not make a fuss or say anything.
"The stars are in disarray, the sky is ambiguous...Kenneth...you should make a perfect farewell tonight!"
40: I want to save him, I want to save this young man!
Einzbern Castle in the large forest on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.
After Gilgamesh's previous commotion, Einzbern Castle, which had previously blended perfectly with the surrounding scenery, now looked a little out of place in this jungle.
However, no one in the castle cares about the gold outside the castle.
Because with the appearance of Gilgamesh and King Hassan, the information collected by Emiya Kiritsugu and Matou Zouken has revealed that all the servants have appeared, except for Caster, who is likely waiting for an opportunity in a workshop built somewhere.
Although the identities of Archer and Assassin are unknown, they have already demonstrated their terrifying strength in today's attack.
As for Caster, he appeared in the eyes of Emiya Kiritsugu and Matou Zouken from the beginning to the end.
Matou Zouken, the ancestor of the Matou family, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who participated on behalf of Einzbern, were actually too concerned about Caster.
After all, according to the experience of previous Holy Grail Wars, although Servant of the Caster class poses a great threat to the Master, when facing Servants of other classes, they are no match for Servants of other classes unless they are in a carefully constructed workshop.
As for Caster's combat capability in the workshop... 'Explosion Genius' Emiya Kiritsugu should check it out.
Therefore, neither Matou Zouken nor Emiya Kiritsugu really cares about Caster's whereabouts.
"Matsuno... that boy's body can still sustain a few more battles..."
Emiya Kiritsugu, who had not had a smooth life since participating in the Holy Grail War, flicked the cigarette in his hand. He frowned and looked at Matou Zouken, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa opposite him.
Although he still looked as skinny and bony as before, but for some reason his complexion had turned rosy, he first let out a signature weird laugh, then stretched out his mummy-like hand and gestured a number.
"Second, the young man I picked up would not be able to display the power of a Berserker unless I activated the Command Seals during the battle."
During the daytime battle, Shirou Senko cast a special Command Spell, and Emiya Kiritsugu naturally saw it.
Berserker indeed burst out with powerful combat power only after Shirou Sengo activated the Command Seal.
As for what Matou Zouken said, he was the one who cast the Command Seal, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't care. It was nothing more than the old guy in front of him doing something to the young man's body.
"Twice....Is it because of the restrictions of the Command Spell?....Or is it some other reason?"
Unconsciously glancing at the four remaining Command Seals on the back of his hand, Emiya Kiritsugu silently memorized this guess in his heart.
"It can be used twice more... The situation has become even worse."
"Hehehe... No, Emiya, in my opinion, two times is enough... As long as you are willing to truly cooperate with me... Berserker is enough to solve the situation we are facing now."
Indeed, if Kiritsugu Emiya is willing to mobilize both Altria and Leonidas to cooperate with Berserker.
According to the information they have collected so far, it is enough to deal with any Servant alone.
But can Emiya Kiritsugu trust Matou Zouken, who is like a venomous snake?
Emiya Kiritsugu did not respond to Matou Zouken's words... For a moment, the two who were discussing how to break the impasse fell into silence.
Just when Matou Zouken and Emiya Kiritsugu each had their own ulterior motives, but had to sit together due to reality and conduct the so-called "discussion" between allies.
In a room at the other end of the castle.
Looking at Shirou Chiko with his eyes closed on the bed, Altria felt worse.
Perhaps he noticed that something was wrong with Altria.
Leonidas, who was leaning against the wall in a corner of the room with his head lowered so that no expression could be seen, suddenly asked.
"Arthur....what is your wish for the Holy Grail to fulfill?"
Hearing the question suddenly asked by Leonidas, Artoria, who was sitting beside Shirou Chiko's bed with her fists clenched, was suddenly stunned, then turned to look at Leonidas in confusion.
Leonidas shook his muscles, faced Altria's eyes, slowly raised his head and showed a sincere look. It was not known whether he misunderstood Altria's eyes or he was prepared to do so. The moment their eyes met, Leonidas directly stated the reason why he participated in the Holy Grail War.
"A Spartan fears no battle....A Spartan enjoys all battles.....That is why I answered the call."
Perhaps she was infected by the aura exuded by Leonidas at this moment. After hearing Leonidas' reasons for participating in the Holy Grail War, with a wisp of reminiscence...Altoria also slowly expressed her wish.
"I want to go back... back to Camelot, back to the moment when I drew my sword..."
Listening to the words that Altria spoke slowly, Leonidas couldn't help but frown.
"I want to go back to the person I was at that time... tell her... I haven't done well enough, I need to work harder..."
Leonidas relaxed his frown, a glimmer of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he immediately bent down to Altria.
"Your people are truly lucky to have you, Arthur..."
"Lucky..."
Altria, several faces unconsciously appearing in her mind, smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Arthur... maybe some people won't understand you... but isn't the king's purpose to protect his people?"
Recalling the last scene of his heroic death at Thermopylae.
Leonidas unconsciously chanted the poems that later poets had inscribed on their tombstones...
"Dear traveler from a foreign land, I hope you can convey this to the people of Sparta. We have kept our promise, and we are now sleeping here.
Arthur....the people will always remember what I am waiting for!"
I think back to the books about King Arthur that I read after I came to the real world, and the recognition of later generations recorded in the books...
After hearing Leonidas' words, Artoria felt as if some shackles were freed and she felt extremely relieved at that moment.
