Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"I thought summoning me would be troublesome."

Shuten-doji's expression was indeed somewhat surprised. She leaned in front of Jiang You and said, "Or is it that Master and I are very compatible? But with this summoning method, I will completely lose my freedom, haha... In this way, why don't you put a collar on me, Master?"

"I'm not going to that extent. If you don't want to, you can just tell me and I will take the initiative to cancel the summons."

Jiang You didn't see much of a smile on Shuten's smiling face. He always cared about the emotions (favorability) of his servants. "I know words alone are not enough. Let you see for yourself what it really is."

Shuten smiled and said, "Haha, if you're not strong enough when dealing with demons, you'll easily get bitten back, sir."

Jiang You wasn't sure whether Shuten said this to make him happy or unhappy, but Jiang You wasn't worried. What he said to Shuten was sincere, and he would fulfill it.

When Yao Cui returned to the arena, Kukulkan was unilaterally beating several servants of Chaldea. As soon as Matthew and Anna approached Kukulkan, they would be caught in a flaw in an instant and then thrown out by the huge force. If Kukulkan didn't intend to play, they would soon fall to the ground.

As for Merlin, he had no intention of attacking. Once Kukulkan approached within five meters of him, he would immediately use magic to move himself. In his words, with his physique, he would be doomed if he was thrown down once.

"Well, our queen is here. I'll leave this to her. My reception ends here."

Kukulkan directly handed the scene over to Yao Cui, and turned over and returned to her own viewing seat briskly. For her, the fight during this period was just a warm-up.

"You've already finished fighting, why should I fight?"

Yao Cui lost interest when she saw Matthew and Anna, who were almost unable to stand. However, she could not kill them because of Jiang You's request.

"Let that leopard put them in jail. Jiang You hasn't explained the matter clearly, so let him speak for himself."

"Are you the Fairy Knight Tristan?"

Gudako looked at this famous Servant. Aside from his hair, which barely qualified as red, he looked completely different from Tristan. She couldn't connect the dots, but that wasn't important. She was more concerned with something else. "You're also protecting the humans of this era, right? Our interests and goals are aligned. We should be allies. There's no reason for us to fight, right?"

"I've said it before, you guys came here to look for Jiang You, thinking he'd be your companion. Hahaha, how naive and cute."

Yao Cui looked at the others and laughed. She raised a finger and waved it back and forth, telling them they were wrong. "What a shame! He's not what you think he is. One of his goals in founding a country here with me was to capture Uruk, kill everyone, and defeat Gilgamesh!"

"I do not believe!"

Matthew felt that Jiang You was not that kind of heroic spirit. If he really wanted to do this, he could have done it at the previous singularity.

"And aren't you protecting them too, Miss Tristan?"

"It seems necessary to explain to you the purpose of my doing this."

Yao Cui waved to a soldier in the preparation area, motioning him to come forward.

Just as the warrior was hesitating, Yao Cui suddenly said a few words.

"The reward is doubled."

Then the warrior ran over happily and had his head blown up by Yao Cui, and the splattering blood splashed on the faces of several people from Chaldea.

Yao Cui wiped the blood off his face nonchalantly, laughing wildly: "Now, you believe us, right?"

248

Chapter 248 How dare you call yourself the savior?

"What are you doing!?"

Gudako's pupils trembled violently. The warrior's behavior clearly showed that he trusted Yao Cui very much. It was unacceptable to Gudako that Yao Cui would do such a thing to his loyal subordinates.

"What? Isn't it obvious?"

Yao Cui wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief indifferently. "This is Jiang You's goal. Gather these people and kill them all! In this week, I've probably killed thousands of people."

Jiang You had said that once the Gorgon was defeated, Tiramat would appear, and the Primordial Sea, accompanied by a flood of "new humans," would attack all living creatures. By then, there would be no chance to attack Uruk, so confronting Uruk and capturing it could only be the first goal.

But for Chaldea, Jiang You's behavior of attacking two sides at the same time when the world is on the verge of destruction is unacceptable. They have no room for failure, so Jiang You acquiesced to Yao Cui's attack on Chaldea.

As for why they didn't launch a direct attack, it was because a direct attack on Uruk would allow the Gorgon's monsters to push the battle line into Uruk, which was not what Jiang You wanted to see. It would also result in the loss of our kill count, so Jiang You had been recruiting the surrounding people. As long as they were familiar with Kukulkan's power, with Kukulkan's blessing, they could attack their compatriots without any scruples, and they could easily complete the mission without causing any actual deaths.

At this moment, the logistics team responsible for pulling the corpse down also rushed over. From their skillful movements and indifferent expressions, Gudako confirmed that what Yao Cui said was true.

Merlin glanced at the softly radiant Sunstone, perched atop the arena. Magical energy churned within it, forming a connection with the fallen warriors. He immediately grasped the situation. But he said nothing, maintaining his smile.

He knew that the Servant named Jiang You had the power to summon at least two Grand Masters, so a little bit of mischief wouldn't matter; after all, there were taller people to hold up the sky if it fell. He could even learn more about Jiang You's identity, and it would be fun at the same time, so why not?

"Why do this?"

Gudako was angry.

"Because it's fun, of course."

She answered this sentence on behalf of Jiang You. She didn't understand Jiang You's motives, but this kind of thing was very much to her liking.

"We can't let you continue to act recklessly like this!"

Gudako couldn't just watch Yao Cui slaughter ordinary people, she had to do something.

"Matthew, Anna, Merlin! Let's defeat her here!"

"I'll let it go."

Merlin shook his head, rejecting Gudako's suggestion. He waved his staff pretentiously, "Ritsuka, don't forget that this is the enemy's base camp. That big sister up there is still eyeing us covetously. Let me guard against her. The battle with Tristan will be left to you."

"I understand!"

Gudako thought Merlin had a point. She had indeed been a bit impulsive. As the team's insurance, Merlin needed to be prepared for failure at any time. But if she were to face the situation again, she would still give the same answer. She wanted to tell the people who were being treated like toys that humans must have the courage to resist.

"Matthew, cover Anna's attack!"

"understand!"

"understood."

Anna thought of the old woman in the flower shop. If her son hadn't died at the hands of the Gorgon, she might have come here. Thinking of what Yao Cui had done to the people here, she tightened her grip on the hilt of her sickle. She had to defeat Yao Cui here.

Since the enemy had been clearly established, there was no need for Chaldea to hide anything. Gudako opened Chaldea's communication, "Doctor Roman! I need your assistance. The opponent's spiritual base needs your analysis!"

"no problem."

Romani immediately began scanning the magical energy surrounding Gudako. A massive spiritual reaction immediately filled his information panel. This startled him, "Fujimaru Ritsuka, retreat immediately! The enemy possesses god-level combat power! The spiritual information indicates South America and the Sun. Preliminary judgment is that it's Quetzalcoatl, the main deity of the Aztec pantheon!"

Gudako immediately focused most of her attention on Kukulkan. This servant had defeated all of them by wrestling before, and after learning his true identity, she needed to be more careful.

"That voice is you."

Kukulkan glanced at the male figure projected on the projection, and from his words, it seemed that he was acquainted with Roman.

"Don't worry, only the Fairy Knight Tristan will be fighting you in this battle. Feel free to offer your suggestions as long as you win. After all, I still have to keep an eye on a certain magician, right, Merlin?"

"Hahahaha, that's right."

Merlin laughed it off.

"Romani, just focus on assisting Ritsuka and the others. Ritsuka, don't be distracted. Your opponent is Tristan, so leave this to me."

Roman glanced at Merlin with suspicion, feeling he was hiding something. However, despite his antagonism towards Merlin, Roman still believed in his strength. Even if he couldn't defeat him, escaping with the others wouldn't be a problem.

"Don't let me down, you useless mage who bites his tongue even when chanting a spell."

"That's much more reliable than some old man who wants to retire and cause a major safety accident."

Merlin directly DISSed a certain Solomon.

Roman had no way to refute it, and dejectedly began to analyze Yao Cui's information, "What's going on, Ritsuka, the girl in front of you is not a Servant, she is still alive!"

"Of course I'm not dead yet, but you guys, I'm afraid you won't live long."

Yao Cui kicked Matthew with a whip kick.

Seeing the glowing red heel coming towards him, Matthew immediately raised his shield to block it, but Yao Cui's move was just a feint. The exaggerated shield surface was used as a springboard. Yao Cui suddenly exerted force, and the bright red magic power bounced with her and exploded on Matthew's round shield, forcing Anna, who was about to attack Yao Cui from behind, to retreat. Yao Cui used the recoil of this attack to pounce directly at Gudako.

"Jiang You said you are also a savior, and so am I. Let me test your strength!"

Yao Cui was competitive with Gudako. As Morgan's daughter, how could she be outmatched by such an ordinary human? Yao Cui's attack was already coming. In her opinion, with Gudako's ordinary physical fitness, there was no way she could get through.

"What will your screams sound like? Please make me happy!"

249

Chapter 249: Camelot destroys Tristan.

Yao Cui didn't expect Gudako to take the initiative to meet her attack. Gudako took a quick step and leaned against her legs, using her body to increase the contact area and reduce a lot of the damage. Using the kinetic energy of the side kick, she rolled out awkwardly. Mash immediately raised her shield and stepped forward to cover, preventing Yao Cui from pursuing the victory.

"You must be careful!"

Roma had successfully analyzed the information about the demon Tristan. "Although she's not a Heroic Spirit, her strength is already very close to that of Tristan, the Knight of the Round Table blessed by the Lion King! We must give it our all, she won't be easily defeated!"

"Hahahaha. Tristan from Pan-Human History is actually not as good as me? How interesting!! But you, you have quite a good awareness. You are much better than that guy Jiang You."

Yao Cui's attack just now hadn't held back much. Ordinary people within the range of Kukulkan's Noble Phantasm would be resurrected after being defeated, so she wasn't worried about actually killing Gudako. However, she couldn't really do that. If the power of resurrection were revealed, Kukulkan wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Three Goddesses. "That's fine. If it ends so easily, I'll be disappointed! Just let me be happy for a while."

Yao Cui wanted to use his speed to get closer to Gudako from behind again, but at this time Anna, a mobile servant with the same agility as Yao Cui, also followed closely. The attack range of the sickle in her hand was larger than Yao Cui's kick, forcing Yao Cui to keep a distance.

"I won't let you hurt her."

Anna swung the Undead Blade of Slaughter in her hand, scattering the chains connected to it all over the ground.

"You reminded me that I also have the means of long-range attack."

Yao Cui took out her bow, and as she plucked the strings, several arrows made of magic power drew arcs in the air and shot towards Gudako.

"Anna!"

Gudako reminded Anna to attack, as blindly defending would make her more passive.

"I see!"

Anna immediately took advantage of the gap between Yao Cui's attacks to attack. After all, Yao Cui was just imitating Tristan's fighting style. This weapon was not very easy for her to use. Anna dodged all of Yao Cui's arrows in fear and rushed to her side.

Jiang You had given Yao Cui detailed information about all the Servants present. She was well aware of the effects of Anna's Undead Slaughter Blade. If she were hit by it, she would be dead. Returning to Britain now would be too boring. So, facing Anna's pursuit, Yao Cui could only keep distance from her.

Gudako whispered something behind Matthew, then shouted, "Don't worry about my safety. Anna has successfully suppressed her. Go and help Anna!"

Matthew nodded and rushed forward with his shield raised.

After the three of them fought for a while, Yao Cui found a fatal flaw in Anna's movements. She immediately seized the opportunity and blasted Anna away with a burst of magic power. Matthew alone had no way to keep up with Yao Cui's speed, allowing Yao Cui to approach Gudako again.

"You actually sent the Servant who was protecting you away. You are so stupid that it's adorable. How pitiful! I'm going to torture you now. Please scream louder."

Yao Cui caught Gudako as she was about to flee. In her eyes, humans were as slow as a turtle. She felt that as a Servant, she couldn't possibly lose to an ordinary person in terms of speed. If she lost, it would be so humiliating, she feared she would be a cushion for the rest of her life.

"This idiot."

Kukulkan saw it all clearly from above, and she shook her head helplessly. Yao Cui was too impatient. With her strength, it wouldn't be difficult to win this battle steadily.

Gudako didn't show any fear because of being caught. Instead, she smiled confidently: "It's a pity that the one who was caught is you! Anna!"

Following Gudako's command, the sound of chains sliding was heard, and the chains throughout the venue began to tighten at this moment, rubbing against the ground and pillars, making a harsh sound.

The next second, the tightened chains bound Yao Cui's body, tightly binding her limbs and body, and hanging her in the air in a "big" shape.

It turns out that during the battle, Anna had been extending her chains, placing them at the designated location with each movement. That flaw was deliberately exposed by Anna. Gudako's actions were intended to lure Yao Cui to the designated location.

"You think you can trap me with something like this? Are you thinking too simply?"

Yao Cui pulled the chains on his body with all his strength. Anna's chains were not a treasure, but just harder iron chains, which were completely different from the Heavenly Chains. Therefore, under Yao Cui's A-level strength, the iron chains made a teeth-grinding twisting sound. It wouldn't take long for her to successfully break free from the chains.

"You have no chance," Gudako declared in victory, "Command Seal! Matthew, defeat the Fairy Knight Tristan!"

Roman said that Yao Cui possessed strength close to that of the blessed Tristan. Without Merlin's help, Matthew and Anna's firepower was not enough to directly defeat Yao Cui, so she decisively used the Command Spell to amplify Matthew's Noble Phantasm.

I saw Matthew climbing up the wall and leaping over Yao Cui's head. She aimed the round table shield at Yao Cui, then with a flash of light, activated her treasure.

"That is our hometown that can heal all wounds and all resentments. Reveal! The ideal city that is already far away!"

The shadow of Camelot formed behind Matthew, and then as she fell, the entire towering city of Camelot pressed down towards Yao Cui.

It was too late. Yao Cui could only watch helplessly as a building identical to the royal city his mother had built crashed down upon him. If this attack had landed, it would have been enough to complete Yao Cui's dimensionality reduction.

"You are really embarrassed."

A black shadow rushed out and held down Matthew's Noble Phantasm with one hand. At that moment, the entire Camelot disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace of the Noble Phantasm.

"You know, Gao Wen and Yao Lan were able to pin them down and beat them, so why are you so embarrassed when it comes to you?"

Anna's pupils shrank at the sight. She couldn't imagine what kind of ability could silently negate the effects of a Noble Phantasm. Merlin watched the scene with great interest, calculating the amount of preparation and magical energy required to achieve such a feat. He quickly gave up, having to admit that even he couldn't achieve the same level of effortlessness as Jiang You.

"Isn't it because you didn't let me kill them? Otherwise, I would have cursed them to death long ago!"

Yao Cui snorted and turned her head to the side. She was really embarrassed now.

"Mr. Jiang You!"

Mashu landed and returned to Gudako's side before greeting her. She was ready to fight at any time.
