Countless tornadoes were raging in the originally peaceful desert, and the gravel they rolled up even completely blocked the sun's rays.
Logically speaking, as part of the inherent barrier, the natural environment can also be controlled by the owner. However, the owner of this barrier is not Iskandar, but the entire "King's Army" that supports the barrier.
Even if they wanted to quell this disastrous weather, they had to get out of combat first, and the black-armored female knight who fought single-handedly in and out of the army gave them no such opportunity.
"What? Rider? Your way of overlording is to make the 'friends' you call constantly die?" Saber·a1ter was temporarily unable to approach Iskandar and Weber, who were surrounded by the king's army, while charging and killing them on the outside.
Question them.
"Death?" Iskandar pointed to another direction in the desert, where a small army was gathering. It seemed that they were the Macedonian warriors killed by Saber during this period.
"Before the magic power of the inherent barrier is exhausted, my warriors can provide unlimited support." Rider's eyes turned to Saber's dark blood-stained sword: "And you have absolutely no time to start that dillydally.
'Roundtable review'."
"Oh? Really?" Saber continued to attack the surrounding Macedonian Heroic Soldiers, taking a moment to glance at the thin young man standing on the Kamui wheel with Rider.
There is no doubt that it was this master who changed Rider's style, from a rough strategy of giving the order to "attack the entire army" and then completely ignoring it, to a sophisticated strategy of keeping the formation moving forward steadily and suppressing it.
Moreover, due to the characteristic that they can appear anywhere in the barrier after being defeated, the soldiers killed by themselves can regroup and rush into the battlefield as reinforcements. Even some special units, such as crossbowmen and engineers, can
Deploy it at the appropriate location at will.
If they were not facing a single person but a large number of other armies, they could also throw the opponent into a relatively unfavorable environment. Under this level of pressure, they would have been defeated long ago.
Unfortunately, in order to guard against the [Sword of Oath and Victory], the battlefield chosen by Rider is still completely unprotected plains and deserts. As long as he has the intention to use the Noble Phantasm, the soldiers will immediately disperse and avoid the trajectory of the sword.
, because of this, I have not made up my mind to use it several times before.
Moreover, Saber sensed with keen intuition that when she deliberately exposed her flaw, Rider had several attempts to rush over with the Kamui Wheel, but was stopped by the master's beating, tugging on his cloak, and grabbing his arms. He even raised his hand
He thrust his right hand at the rider and threatened to use a command spell.
But this level of obstruction alone could make the Conqueror give up his attack? Either their master-slave relationship was particularly good, or Rider agreed with his opinion after thinking about it.
So far, the master's plan is very clear. He will use the magic power of the entire king's army, that is, this inherent barrier, to consume his own combat power. Even if the battle is prolonged, he must ensure that the rider is almost undamaged.
End the battle next to deal with other enemies.
But it's a pity that she is not easily brought down. Moreover, Weber actually thinks that maintaining this inherent barrier will not consume Rider's magic power?
Rider was probably bragging in order to show off his strength, so let her see who can last to the end of this protracted battle. Saber·1i1y made a backhand move, and the King's Iron Hammer attacked the two soldiers who attacked from behind.
It flew away and set off another tornado.

"Protracted War", this is the only contact Saber·A1ter made to Emiya Kiritsugu through the connection of the magic circuit after falling into the inherent barrier.
"This is really bad news." Feeling the slow extraction of magic power from his body, Kiritsugu led Irisviel through the giant trees of the Einzbern Forest to avoid the fierce battle between Luna and Saber·1i1y.
the aftermath.
Ever since the Noble Phantasm attack was rebounded by Luna's Noble Phantasm, saber·1i1y, who was wearing white skirt armor, did not dare to use projectile attacks anymore, as if she was afraid that the opponent would use a weakened version to rebound.
That rebounding Noble Phantasm obviously cannot be used continuously, and Luna herself is obviously better at close combat with a sword and shield, especially since her body is only mercury and does not have any fatal parts. In addition, the Sword in the Stone itself is biased towards
Ritual or spell, and in this case have to engage in a melee duel with her?
Although they wanted to remind them, the split shield thrown by the shield-wielding heroic spirit was ricocheting around the battlefield erratically. Kiritsugu and Irisviel worked together to block a flying shield that luckily bounced towards them. Neither could
The adventure was approaching again, and his wife had no way to directly talk to Saber. Kiritsugu was a little anxious for a while.
"Kiritsugu, I have arrived at the old town of Fuyuki. There is no trace of Tokiomi Tokiomi, but the spiritual vein nodes near the Fuyuki Civic Center have dried up." Kuu Maiya's voice came from Kiritsugu's ear along with the sound of the off-road vehicle's engine.
came from the intercom nearby.
Because the battle situation was too chaotic, Kiritsugu was unable to take care of two people at the same time, so he had to ask Maiya to drive back to Fuyuki to monitor the movements of the Tohsaka camp. After all, the Master and Servants there did not have a built-in barrier to hide - to say the least.
In other words, Waver following Rider into the inherent barrier this time could be considered a stroke of genius, and Kiritsugu's plan for a sneak attack on the Master was completely useless.
However, the Tohsaka camp does not pay much attention to their own protection. Tokiomi Tosaka, who was sniped last time, is proof. Standing on the unprotected surface of the golden flying boat is simply the favorite target of professional snipers.
"Where did Caster set up a magic formation?" Kiritsugu asked Maiya through the intercom, and then noticed that Irisviel had also come closer to listen.
"The magic power nearby is very confusing, and many familiars have lost control. However, it can be judged from the remaining images that Caster has deployed a unique barrier." Maiya's voice began to become intermittent: "I... tried... to get closer...
Tan…”
Sizzling——
After a burst of noise, the intercom became silent.
This is completely abnormal. Even if the walkie-talkie is damaged, meaningless noise will be received here.
"Maiya?" Irisviel listened to the silent intercom with a worried expression.
"It's probably involved in the inherent barrier, so don't worry." Kiritsugu tried to adjust the headphones, but to no avail: "After all, it's caster's inherent barrier, not the enemy's."
"Well, um." Irisviel nodded: "After all, it is...caster."
I can't remember how many times this happened, but my wife always looked at Caster, whose real name was the Saint of Winter, in a different light, and she trusted her inexplicably and felt strangely worried.
Emiya Kiritsugu began to have some vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure what it was.
Boom——Bang——Crack——
A huge roar came from the forest in the distance, but hearing the sound, the battlefield seemed to be quickly moving away from here. Kiritsugu and his wife looked at each other and immediately turned around and chased in that direction.
21:35:34
In the endless darkness, "something" was awakened.
"It" is very angry.
When it woke up for the first time, in order to reward those humans who discovered "it", "it" told them as usual that it could fulfill any of their wishes.
As a result, those who realized this miracle turned out not to be of one mind, and when they fought with each other about the "wishes", they accidentally caused "it" to fall asleep again.
At that time "it" only felt funny, but since "it" had woken up, it didn't matter if it waited for a while, after all, time was meaningless to "it".
Just sixty years later, "it" reawakened, and the humans who once killed each other without any rules actually reached an agreement on how to compete for the right to make wishes, and even invited a referee.
So "it" observed the competition between these humans with great interest. As degraded magicians with little fighting ability, they chose to summon similarly degraded heroic spirits to fight with each other. It seemed that whoever could keep his heroic spirit until the end would be the winner.
.
However, there was no winner in this battle. "It" boringly absorbed the souls of all the heroic spirits who participated in the battle, and fell asleep again because of the failed ritual again.
When it was woken up for the third time, "it" was already very dissatisfied. It was not uncommon for "it" that had existed for thousands of years to fulfill a human's wish and continue to sleep. However, it was awakened by the same group of people.
It is never a pleasant experience to be woken up repeatedly by humans fighting each other for the right to make wishes.
In particular, these stupid humans have completely forgotten the identity of "it" and only regard "it" as some inexplicable wishing machine and compete with each other.
The most important thing is that the pure white soul that had been comforting "it" after initially sacrificing himself to summon "it" was blackened by a strange heroic spirit in this still-inconclusive battle, and "it"'s anger
I can't suppress it anymore.
Next time, "it" makes a ruthless decision before falling back to sleep. No matter whether those humans' war for the so-called "Holy Grail" succeeds or fails, "it" must make them suffer, whether it has the option to interfere with the Holy Grail,
Even if someone is able to obtain the Holy Grail and make a wish, even if someone is able to obtain the Holy Grail and make a wish, "it" will fulfill his wish in the most malicious way.
And now, "it", having been awakened for the fourth time, is angrily listening to the wishes in this Holy Grail War.
As "it" expected, they were all meaningless and small wishes.
It doesn't matter even if I bear all the evil in the world. I hope to end all wars and bloodshed and achieve eternal world peace.
Well... the wish-maker this time seems to be pretty good. "It" thought unconsciously, just him——
I hope to be able to bear all the pain and misfortune of this world, whether it is past, present, or future.
