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

"How can this kind of thing be allowed!"

Gudako naturally wouldn't agree with the Lion King's actions, "We must stop her! I've made up my mind. Let's go back and ask Mr. Wang Hassan to take direct action!"

"I think you should go to Atlas after all."

Jiang You glanced at the closed mausoleum. Wang Ha's intention was obvious. Gudako still had to go, but Jiang You didn't plan to follow. He was too lazy to follow the plot. "Besides, Da Vinci is still in Lancelot's hands. You have to go there to pick her up. If you launch an attack directly now, you will lose two helpers and gain one more enemy. You know, Lancelot can be instigated to rebel. Matthew, just call him dad more often."

"That sounds like a joke... Would Lancelot, as a knight, really change sides just because of Matthew's words?"

According to the knowledge given to Xuanzang, a knight should be a very loyal character, just like her apprentice.

"If it's Lancelot...it's really possible."

Bedivere looked away.

Chapter 182 Jiang You, known as the Little Hall of Heroes.

On the way down the mountain, Gudako curiously asked Jiang You about the history and legends of his being a Heroic Spirit, but Jiang You fooled her by saying that he was also looking for the answer, and that an unknown red Archer who was now a Dark Night Hero in Fuyuki had also done it.

Soon, they reached a ridge overlooking the village. The descent was much faster than the ascent, though it was a pity for Gudako's knees. However, considering her stamina from running with Hercules, it shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, poor Hercules even had to help cushion the knee.

"Now we can get back to the village before dark. We're all tired after such a long journey. Let's get some sleep when we get back to the village."

Matthew looked at the darkening sky and wanted to take a hot bath to relieve his fatigue.

As an Archer, Tawara Tenta had a fairly broad field of vision, and he frowned as he looked towards the village.

"Wait, we can see fire in the direction of the village, and countless torches are moving! Are they—soldiers from the Holy City?!"

This news shocked everyone. As the leader of the village, Zhuwan was extremely anxious: "Jingmi, you must protect Master Fujimaru Ritsuka. Master Sanzang, Master Tawara Tengta, Master Bedivere, and Master Jiangyou. I beg you...! Please go and rescue the people in this village...!"

"We would do it even without you telling us, Tawara Tenta, let's go!"

Even the strange Xuanzang here was compassionate. She immediately took Taro Teng down the mountain. As a servant who had completed the entire journey to obtain the scriptures, she was naturally no problem for this rugged mountain road. She was able to keep up with the speed of the Curse Arm jumping on the cliff.

"In that case, Senior, let's set off as well."

The few people who stayed behind, except Jing Ni, had no ability to move quickly, so it would take a long time for them to travel.

"This is too slow. It's almost time to ask for external help."

Jiang You has to use his traditional skills to summon all the servants who have reached level three.

Lancelot, Medea, and Illya in her Celestial Cloth form appeared before Jiang You. Tranquility and Baimao didn't appear because their spirit bases had already been used. Lancelot was able to be summoned because the spirit base he used wasn't the Sword-class spirit base of the Knights of the Round Table.

“Ahrrrrr——”

Lancelot roared like a beast as he appeared, but stopped abruptly when he saw Matthew, even straightening his back.

After careful observation, Matthew felt a familiar spiritual reaction in Lancelot, and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"No doubt, this is Lancelot, but not from this timeline. His job is Berserker, so you can just call him Berserker."

Jiang You helped Matthew confirm Lancelot's identity.

"Master, you really didn't lie. This feeling... is definitely from Kamijou."

Medea excitedly sensed the magic in the atmosphere. She didn't expect Jiang You to arrive at the timeline of the Age of Gods so quickly.

"Looking at the current situation, you should need my help, right? Just tell me, you know where I plan to go after this."

"Unfortunately, everything else except this area has disappeared. This is not a complete timeline."

Jiang You didn't need to lie to Medea about this. Actually, 2.5 could actually meet Medea's requirements, but she certainly wouldn't be satisfied. "But it doesn't matter. I'll definitely have the chance to take you back home."

Medea was a little disappointed, but she quickly put the problem behind her. She now had a stable place to live and could torture Jason from time to time. She was quite satisfied with her current situation and was preparing to travel alone to modern Colchis.

"Looks like I have to work again, so let's talk about it first."

"Medea, please help me with the flying magic."

Even if Medea doesn't have this ability, she can use strengthening magic to strengthen the bodies of several people.

"It's a little troublesome because I haven't prepared anything, but it can be done quickly if you don't worry about protection."

Medea nodded. This was much easier than setting up the venue.

"You've kept me waiting too long!"

Illya puffed up her face in dissatisfaction. Jiang You had clearly told her this during the duel, but he waited so long before summoning her.

"You should still be in class at that time."

Jiang You pulled Illya's face and was hit back with a series of punches.

"Anyway, Illya, I'll need to rely on you this time, just like before."

"Mr. Jiang You, you actually possess a Noble Phantasm that can summon other Servants?"

Matthew felt that the help this time was a bit too strong. Getting Jiang You's help was equivalent to getting assistance from multiple heroic spirits at the same time. However, the summoned heroic spirits came from different regions and even different times, which made her confused.

"We can discuss the rest later. We have more important things to do now."

Jiang You gradually recalled this long-lost memory. Normally, he could only remember the more important plot points, but what happened here was only salvaged from his mind after seeing the scene. If nothing unexpected happened, the Lion King's Holy Spear Longomyniad was already aimed at the village and would be released around dark. His Noble Phantasm would not be able to capture Artoria in Camelot, so he had to reach the village before then.

If possible, Jiang You also wanted to try who would be pulled in front of the other party for a duel if attacked from a super long distance.

"it is ready!"

Medea handed a few people cloaks similar in style to hers. "It has magic that reduces weight and allows it to float. Just inject a little magic power into it. But there's no time to engrave defensive magic, so be careful not to get hit, or you'll fall straight down."

While Gudako's skills in magic were limited, she did have some experience. This cloak, similar to the Chaldean uniform, served as a magic aid. As a sub-Servant, Mash was also familiar with the existence of magic, and the two quickly found the trick and began to float. Their speed wasn't very fast; Jiang You would have been much faster on flat ground, but the advantage was that they could travel in a straight line, significantly shortening their arrival time.

“It’s amazing! It feels even better than anything Leonardo da Vinci himself would have made!”

The novel experience made Gudako praise it involuntarily.

"Senior, if she hears you say this, she'll be furious, and then she won't give you a discount."

Matthew was even more worried that Da Vinci would make things difficult for them.

Medea looked at Jiang You jumping on the spot, sighed, and injected magic power into him to make him fly.

"That kid has obviously been into magic for less than a year. How come a Heroic Spirit like you is outshined by her? You should stop being a Caster. I feel like a Berserker with your intermittent whims is more suitable."

183

Chapter 183 Let’s play the dark game, Cui Sad.

Even with Medea's help, they reached the village in about half the time, but they were still a step too late, as the knights had already entered the village.

While the Upright Knights weren't as strong as the Heroic Spirits, their sturdy armor and razor-sharp greatswords were an impenetrable fortress against the Mountain People. Their actions were more of a massacre than an attack. Everyone they encountered, regardless of gender or age, perished.

"Ilia! Medea!"

Unlike Fuyuki's situation, stalling for time here was of little use; there was no way to force the Lion King to leave quickly. Furthermore, Jiang You still had sufficient combat power on his side, so he didn't include the people here in the scope of his Noble Phantasm. Instead, he sent his Servant and the former Master forward to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers.

"Lancelot!"

Facing the elite monster, Jiang You directly sent his strongest servant to test his quality. To deal with the Knights of the Round Table, you should use the Knights of the Round Table!

“Ahrrrrrr——”

At this time, Matthew had already stepped forward to fight with Tristan. Lancelot rushed forward without Jiang You's reminder, and used his unrepentant moves to attack Tristan's vital points.

Although the lake light color of Kuanglan Wuhui was different from that of Lancelot of the sword class, Tristan still recognized the weapon at a glance.

"Lancelot?"

Tristan recognized the hidden Black Knight's true identity, though he had no intention of hiding it. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Matthew. Galahad's presence was too strong. As a Knight of the Round Table chosen by the Holy Grail, Galahad had never responded to the Lion King's call. If he were here, Lancelot would understandably rebel, especially since this wouldn't be the first time Lancelot had done so.

Tristan, who was about to speak, checked carefully and found that he did not feel the blessing of the Lion King from Lancelot. He soon realized that this Lancelot was not the one summoned by the Lion King.

"Ahh... this truly saddens me. Facing the attacks of two Knights of the Round Table, I can only use the King's Blessing to fight back. But this isn't a power I can freely control. Even if the opponent is weak, I will ruthlessly swing down with this merciless blade... Ahhh, I'm so sad."

With special protection, Tristan easily resisted the attacks of the two. The bowstring made of piano used sound waves as vacuum arrows to block the two's steps. From beginning to end, Tristan could not move even a step.

"You are so ugly that you appear before me like this, like a wild beast. Even the king would not be able to forgive you in this state. Let me take your head and burn you and this shabby village to ashes."

“Ahrrrrrr!!!!”

In this state, Lancelot would only instinctively protect Matthew besides obeying Jiang You's orders. He didn't care what Tristan said and continued to launch a fierce attack.

"You're wrong, there are three in total! That's enough, Tristan!"

Bedivere had also arrived at this time. Seeing that there were other servants helping to clean up the other side, he attacked Tristan as well.

"...One more. I never thought you'd show up on this battlefield, and you'd be hostile to us. How sad..."

There's a reason Tristan is called Tristan the Sad One, and the same goes for Phineas, Mi Gang, and Oom.

"Sad? Nothing could be sadder than what you did!"

Bedivere couldn't understand what Tristan was doing. The Knights of the Round Table he knew were not like this at all. "Has the dignity of the Knights of the Round Table reached rock bottom? Or is this what the King means now?"

"You only saw the king..."

Tristan wanted to perform the famous scene of "The king does not understand the human heart" again, but Lancelot did not give him the chance and launched a series of violent attacks at him.

"Three Knights of the Round Table have besieged me. Now I can't show mercy. Killing three knights who once fought alongside me, this sorrow and pain may never heal."

Under the influence of the blessing, Tristan went all out. Because Jiang You arrived early, Xuanzang and Tawara Tota, who were supposed to come to fight together according to the plot, failed to arrive (although they arrived, they were unable to defeat Tristan in time). The three servants struggled to hold on in Tristan's Noble Phantasm.

"It seems that this blessing is quite useful. Can you give me some too?"

Jiang You approached Tristan, thinking he couldn't defeat him using conventional means. This was fine, though. Jiang You figured it was time to collect the Knights of the Round Table deck. If he defeated them all, he'd at least get three Knights. He just didn't know what kind of card the Lion King was.

In short, it must be very large. Jiang You is talking about the numerical value.

"Is there another Servant?"

Tristan only glanced at Jiang You from the corner of his eye, and he knew that Jiang You had no fighting skills at all, and his steps were so weak that it was unbearable to watch. He simply shot a vacuum arrow at Jiang You's heart.

"Even such a weak Servant dares to meddle in the internal affairs of the Knights of the Round Table? How sad! The glory of the Knights of the Round Table is brought shame upon us."

As Tristan expected, Jiang You didn't dodge at all. Of course, with his dodging skills, he didn't have time to dodge.

Then, the duel began.

The special space unfolded, and Tristan discovered that his attacks had been ineffective, and the Lion King's blessing had vanished. The others were also moved aside by the space's influence. The space between him and Jiang You created a large enough arena for a duel.

"By the way, this is a dark game. If you lose, just hand over your blessing and go back to Valhalla."

Jiang You was a little envious of the Lion King's blessing, and tried to use the dark game to see if he could get it.

"It's actually a Noble Phantasm?"

Tristan hadn't expected someone to be able to influence him beyond the Lion King's blessing; it was practically impossible. It seemed Jiang You's weakness was merely a disguise; his true purpose was to drag him into his Noble Phantasm. But what was the trigger?

After a brief moment of shock, Tristan relaxed. Although he was affected by the unknown Servant on the other side, the Lion King's Blessing was still there. The opponent had only temporarily stripped it of its power. He could clearly feel that the Blessing was summoning him from the deck, ready to respond to his call at any time.

"You want to defeat me with this Noble Phantasm? What a pity! The King's greatness is beyond your comprehension. This card, constructed from experiences and the past, present, and future, is indeed a miraculous Noble Phantasm, but can you truly defeat us Knights of the Round Table and our King? How sad! You simply cannot comprehend the terror of the King's present. Let me defeat you within your Noble Phantasm!"

Jiangyou LP 4000.

Tristan LP 4000.

Chapter 184: So who is Isolde in Cui Sadness’s deck?

"Ah, how sad. According to chivalry, I should have yielded. But my king requested swift action, so I will proceed first!"

Tristan started his turn directly.

"First, the Spell Card [Round Table Knights Assemble] adds a [Round Table Knight] to your hand. If [Altria] is on the field, add an additional [Round Table Knight] to your hand. Of course, I'm so sad. My king won't appear here easily, so I can only retrieve one. The card I want to add to my hand is [Round Table Knight Tristan]!"

Most Heroic Spirit decks are centered around themselves, which makes sense.

"Then, the Spell Card [Rectification Army], Special Summon two [Rectification Knights] of different classes from your deck!"

These were man-made weapons created by the Lion King using the power of the Holy Lance to mimic the functions of the Yangtze River Knights. Each Knight of the Round Table was equipped with one. In terms of sheer force, they were comparable to some third-rate Servants.

Two fully armed silver knights stepped onto the battlefield with heavy steps.

[Righteous Knight S] Saber's attack power is 1000.

[Archer A] Archer's attack power is 1200.

"[Righteous Knight]'s effect: while these cards are on the field, each card with the same name gains 200 attack and defense. So sad, this effect won't be used anymore. I'll sacrifice [Righteous Knight S] and High Summon myself, [Knight Tristan of the Round Table]!"
