However... when she saw Shirou Chiko lying unconscious on the bed out of the corner of her eye... Altria felt heartbroken and conflicted again.
After a long time, perhaps the conversation with Leonidas just now made Artoria understand something, or perhaps Artoria was ultimately unable to overcome the kindness in her heart... or perhaps this was the "fate" between her and Shirou, at this moment Artoria finally made a decision.
This was not the world he was meant to enter, this was not the pain he was meant to endure.
This young boy should not be sacrificed in this Holy Grail War...
"Leonidas...I want to save him, I want to save this young man..."
41. The War Continues Einzbernburg
Saving Shirou Senko cannot be done by Artoria and Leonidas alone.
After all, she, Artoria Pendragon, is not the Artoria Custer (C呆) who will appear in the future in the Lostbelt.
"What are you going to do Arthur..."
Altria took off her gloves, gently held Shirou Chiba's small hand, and with an increasingly determined look in her eyes, she immediately spoke.
"Magic methods need to be solved by magicians..."
"Magician....are you planning to leave Kiritsugu?"
Artoria did not answer, but Leonidas, who felt Artoria's determination at the moment, knew very well that Artoria had made up her mind to leave Kiritsugu Emiya with the child on the bed.
In fact, Leonidas also dislikes Emiya Kiritsugu.
As a warrior and king who, like Artoria, regards protecting his people as his responsibility, although Leonidas and Artoria can understand many of Kiritsugu Emiya's actions, they are equally unacceptable in their hearts.
But compared to Artoria, who had found her target for the next few days, Leonidas, who just wanted to have a good fight, had not found a reason to leave Kiritsugu Emiya.
"Well, Arthur, I have always been eager to fight you... Put this little brat to rest... Let's have a showdown if we have the chance."
Leonidas patted his muscular chest muscles with his hand, and with a big smile on his face, he had made his decision without a doubt.
"Thank you...Leonidas."
After expressing her heartfelt gratitude to Leonidas, Altria did not rush to take Shirou Chiba away.
Even with Leonidas' help, it would not be an easy task to take Sengo Shirou away from Emiya Kiritsugu.
After all, Einzbern Castle is shrouded in a perception barrier, and the contract between her, Altria, and Emiya Kiritsugu, is still there.
If Artoria leaves the castle without any reason, Emiya Kiritsugu, who would have discovered through the barrier that Artoria had left with Senko Shirou right before she left, would probably activate the Command Spell... Artoria can't act in advance and kill her current Master.
Therefore, if Altria wants to take Senko Shirou away from Emiya Kiritsugu and Matou Zouken, she must wait for a suitable opportunity...
As night falls, the silver moon shines on the earth.
Under the hazy moonlight, Einzbern Castle seemed to be covered with a layer of dreamy veil.
Standing in the jungle at the edge of the castle's barrier, the energetic Kenneth was commenting on the dreamlike castle in front of him with a look of disgust to Marisbury beside him.
"This is the level of the famous Einzbern... waste, naked waste, these nodes of the barrier should be used to set up some magic traps... And that castle, a building built with so many precious materials, is not even a workshop. If it were you and me..."
Marisbury, who had always been short of funds and whose main purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was to obtain a sum of money through making a wish through the Holy Grail, seemed dissatisfied with the "extravagant" castle in front of him.
Marisbury, who always smiles and acts like a gentle gentleman at all times, now takes over Kenneth's words.
"If it were you or me, we could at least build a temple... Solomon, what about you?"
"Master, it makes no difference. Sand, soil, or precious materials, it makes no difference to me..."
After looking at each other, Kenneth and Marisbury both saw a kind of desire in each other's eyes after hearing Solomon's words as a matter of course...
"Hey, have you guys finished talking? What waste, what materials... Tsk, after you're done, why don't you just take them over..."
Mordred had no interest in the conversation between the three. Looking at the dream castle under the moonlight not far away, Mordred, who could not wait to start a "love and fight" with his father, had no interest in listening to the chattering of the three magicians.
Raising his hand and summoning the greatsword, Mordred, who could no longer wait, was the first to step into the barrier with high spirits.
"Mordred, fight to your heart's content!"
The Command Spell disappeared from the back of Kenneth's hand, and as Mordred took this step, Kenneth's perfect farewell began.
As for the intruder, the barrier of Einzbernburg naturally fulfilled its responsibility faithfully, and began to sound the alarm to Kiritsugu Emiya as soon as the invader was discovered.
However, its life only lasts for this moment.
The moment Solomon followed his master and entered the barrier... the barrier carefully built by the Einzbern family shattered directly.
bump!
He looked up at the barrier in the sky which had shattered into countless pieces and turned into bits of light sand.
After confirming that there were four intruders through the last information transmitted by the barrier, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately got up from his bed. Without even having time to put on his clothes, he immediately opened the closet and began to check the weapons at hand.
But it was obvious that Kiritsugu Emiya didn't have much time to prepare.
With a loud bang, the heavy gate of the castle slammed down to the ground. Mordred, carrying a greatsword and wearing heavy armor, without any concealment, was the first to step into the castle courtyard.
Fast, too fast.
At this time, only a dozen seconds had passed since Kiritsugu Emiya learned of the invader, and Mordred had already passed through hundreds of meters of jungle and entered the castle.
"Arthur..come out...face me!"
Excited and nervous, Mordred grinned and showed his fangs unconsciously. With a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, he stood in the center of the castle garden and challenged Altria...
Three figures fell, and in response to Mordred's intrusion, the three servants naturally came to the garden under the orders of their respective "Masters", and also appeared with Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Hehehe...kill her!"
Emiya Kiritsugu let out a strange laugh and seemed to be a little abnormal. After he appeared, he pointed at Mordred in the courtyard and gave an order.
"Get lost... This is a duel between Arthur and I..."
Arthur and Leonidas did not respond to Kiritsugu Emiya's order. Instead, the unidentified Berserker roared and attacked Mordred immediately.
"Caster....Fulfill your promise to me!"
42. Solomon's method, Kayneth fights Emiya Kiritsugu again
"What a wonderful battle... Is this what it looks like when Servants fight each other? Solomon?"
Standing on the castle wall, it was as if he was watching a stage play. Although he was uttering words of admiration, in fact, Solomon could easily hear that the admiration from Marisbury's mouth was actually a ridicule.
"I can't do that... As for the Servant..."
"Servant....what incredible power.....Solomon, I'm suddenly a little worried and want to lose."
"Please rest assured....the people who will stay with you in a few days are just ordinary people."
They smiled at each other. Perhaps this was the tacit understanding between this destined master and servant.
At this moment, both parties tasted the 'funny point' in the other party's 'joke'.
Just as this master and servant, who had always seemed mysterious, were having an inexplicable 'joking' conversation.
Mordred, who had forced Berserker back for the umpteenth time, roared and called out to Solomon once again.
"Enough with the jokes, Solomon... Miss Modred has been waiting long enough."
"clear."
Solomon put away the smile on his face and regained his serious kingly self and took action.
There are no fancy special effects, nor are there any scenes that look exciting.
Just a faint light like a firefly lit up from a ring in Solomon's hand, and then the figures of Altria and Mordred disappeared from the garden.
After transferring Altria and Mordred.
Solomon walked down the wall step by step, stepping on the air. He straightened his robe and came in front of Kiritsugu Emiya, Leonidas, and Berserker.
Facing Solomon who made two servants disappear with ease, even from some details of Solomon's robe that leaked out, it can be roughly inferred that he is the Caster, who is the least good at frontal combat among the seven servant classes.
But the small move Solomon showed just now was enough to make even Caster hesitate.
However, the fact that the master and his followers did not move did not mean that Solomon would just stand there with them.
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes under the hood, and in an instant, a magic equivalent to the effect of Gilgamesh's Omniscient and Omnipotent Star was activated, and Solomon easily read out all the information of the three people in front of him.
"Let me see...Lancer-Leonidas, a warrior who thinks all about muscle...but you're a pretty good guy.
Berserker-Xu Zhu, is he actually a warrior from that continent... I see, he was summoned illegally, no wonder all his treasures and inherent skills are sealed and need special command spells to be activated.
As for you...Matou Zouken...I won't comment on you."
Solomon smiled mysteriously at Zouken Matou who looked like Emiya Kiritsugu. He almost couldn't help but purify Zouken Matou just now. After glancing at the three people, he ended his comments directly.
Leonidas didn't care at all about Solomon's comments. After all, what Solomon said was quite fair. He, Leonidas, was indeed a muscular man. As for Berserker, he didn't care at all. After all, he didn't even have a trace of rationality. Without orders, he was just a puppet.
But it was different for Matou Zouken.
It was true that he summoned Berserker using illegal means, but...how did Caster in front of him know that? Matou Zouken was very sure that the way he summoned Berserker was definitely a secret known only to him.
Could he see the past clearly?
What about the future?
Can this Caster see it?
Suddenly it decomposed into a pile of insects, and then reassembled again.
Matou Zouken, who had returned to his normal self, looked at Caster with increasingly greedy eyes.
"Berserker, I'll capture him alive!"
"...What's going on, Berserker, didn't you hear me? Catch him now!"
"Asshole, what are you doing? Why don't you follow my orders?"
However... no matter what means Zouken Matou used, Berserker seemed not to have heard the orders given by Zouken Matou, and still stood there motionless like a puppet.
Over and over again, Berserker failed to act.
Matou Zouken, whose heart was filled with greed, gradually came to his senses. He looked at the motionless Berserker and at the lower half of Solomon's face which was half smiling.
'Damn it... I lost my composure so easily... I must replace this broken body as soon as possible.
In fact, it was very easy to prevent Zouken Matou from commanding Berserker, at least it was very easy for Solomon.
All we need to do is block the orders that Matou Zouken issues through various means and prevent them from being conveyed to Berserker.
As long as there is no order or the use of Command Spells to free some of his sanity, Berserker is actually just a puppet.
For Solomon, who had already obtained all the information about the three people in front of him, it was too easy to perform such a trick.
After dealing with Zouken Matou and Berserker, all Solomon had to do was keep an eye on Leonidas and make this perfect farewell go smoothly as the scripted scene.
Just as Solomon easily blocked Berserker and kept an eye on Leonidas.
This time, with the help of Solomon, Kenneth soon found Kiritsugu Emiya on the roof of Einzbern Castle, who was monitoring the garden with a sniper rifle.
Listening in all directions and looking in all directions, for Emiya Kiritsugu who grew up in the flames of war, this is just his basic ability.
Therefore, the moment Kenneth stepped onto the roof of the castle, a battle that needed no further explanation began on the empty roof of the castle.
Mercury dances with bullets, and the falling brass shells and the colliding mercury bullets are playing a passionate symphony.
"Emiya Kiritsugu, how long are you going to keep playing these little tricks? Where's your Origin Bullet?"
He jumped sideways to avoid the sharp mercury blade coming towards him.
When Emiya Kiritsugu heard Kenneth say the three words "Origin Bullet", he silently picked up a submachine gun that had been placed on the roof of the castle, and then opened fire on Kenneth without hesitation.
"Or do you think that a defeated opponent like me is not worthy of your using the Origin Bullet? Emiya Kiritsugu...there is a limit to how much you can underestimate others~!"
Just when Kenneth mistakenly thought that Kiritsugu Emiya was looking down on him by not taking out the Origin Bullet, he angrily roared at Kiritsugu Emiya.
Kiritsugu Emiya, who has never looked down on anyone, does not use the Origin Bullet because in order to achieve the greatest effect, the Origin Bullet requires a surprise attack.
Since Kenneth knows the intelligence and will definitely be on guard against the Origin Bomb, the Origin Bomb is definitely not the best choice.
Glancing at the recoilless rifle on the other side of the roof, which was disguised as a roof drainage pipe and was lying on the edge of the roof, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was constantly pulling it in that direction, began to calculate silently.
43. Kenneth fell again...
