Kenneth is not very satisfied with the current situation.
Although the alliance with Iskandar has been confirmed, Rider's fighting style of going his own way must be adjusted, especially since he did not obtain the magic power needed for the battle from Weber at all, and his stupid disciple did not show up at all.
His demon sacrifice was just enough for Iskandar to remain in the physical world.
Moreover, after being taught by Sora by the ears, he still did not pay attention to the surrounding environment and was still cheering for Rider foolishly. This kind of cover-up was done to facilitate cooperation after both parties had reached a consensus on the issue of command authority.
Let’s discuss what’s good to cheer for!
Kenneth frowned and glanced at Webb, who was nervously watching the battle between Ancer and Rider. This guy...does he think Rider was summoned by him, so all the achievements of that heroic spirit are due to him? It's really a twisted nestling plot.
ah.
But this is not a bad thing, at least it proves that he and Rider have a good compatibility, and he can probably be quite effective at the right time. If he had directly summoned this Rider, he would have probably had to negotiate hard with him.
"Autoportum defensio." Glancing at Sora who didn't notice him because he was focused on the battle situation, Kenneth whispered an order to the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid.
"[Command invalidated]" Moon Spirit Essence Liquid remained invisible. No, Luna replied without hesitation: "[Please consult the Queen for new commands.]"
Although Kenneth's voice was very low, Luna had no intention of hiding it. Sora, who was listening attentively, glanced over with a half-smile.
"...Sora," Kenneth had no choice but to consult the Queen: "Look, the battle between Ancer and Rider is about to end, and the hidden enemy is about to take action. Why not let Luna use the automatic defense form?"
"Huh? There are two Lancers?" Webb was very surprised when he finally noticed the shining silver Luna standing behind Sora.
"This is Luna, your teacher's magic dress, which awakens self-awareness." Sola explained to Weber, and then glared at Kenneth: "What? You want a girl to become round and fat?
"
"[I refuse]." Luna answered very smoothly.
Even if you call yourself a girl in a dress made of mercury, you still care about being round and fat! Kenneth suddenly wanted to catch himself with his hair neatly combed.
"Moreover, if it becomes like that, the invisibility magic I gave her will be ineffective. If the enemy in the dark is observing this place, he will be able to find it immediately." Sora looked around at the dark containers around him: "The most important thing is,
I believe Luna can protect us even in this form."
"[Of course]," Luna bowed slightly, "[Whoever wants to harm you must step over my body.]"
"Wow." Weber, who knew nothing about it, said in admiration.
Sure enough, she should have asked her to find a female heroic spirit to attack as soon as possible, even an Assassin or a Caster... Kenneth twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to look at the battlefield where the smoke was about to clear.

As the last shield guard fell under Lancer's gun, Rider, who had been leading this small army back and forth, stopped the bullock cart and looked at the two-gun heroic spirit standing proudly in the middle of the driveway.
"Very good!" The huge Conqueror clapped his hands and praised: "I want to thank you for teaching my boys a lot of practical skills. After they return to the big army, they will quickly let everyone master them.
.”
"So, are you going to admit defeat or summon another group?" Diarmuid once again assumed a gun-holding posture like an eagle spreading its wings: "No matter how many times, I will be the winner."
"Well, this will lead to the same situation as at the beginning. Let's call it a draw."
"A tie? That doesn't determine the command." 1ancer's handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"Ah, don't you feel it? The murderous intent of those hidden guys has already overflowed." Rider waved his sword at the surrounding darkness: "Assassins, if you show up at this time, I will grant you
A chance to die with honor!"
There was silence all around, with faint rustling sounds coming from the dark corners. It was probably because some of the assassins realized they had been discovered and moved to their lurking location.
"Although you say so, they have a numerical advantage and their individual strength is not good enough. It is impossible for them to accept the request to fight alone." Ancer put away the two guns pointed at Rider and looked at the darkness around him warily.
"So, our second round will be a group battle to see who can defeat the most assassins," Rider laughed: "If it weren't for this unique heroic spirit with so many incarnations, it would be really difficult for me to show my advantage."
"Why do I think you are trying to anger them?" Diarmuid narrowed his slender eyes, and the mole at the corner of his eye became obvious: "However, because Assassin has no magic power, if there are more female incarnations, my
The advantage may be greater than yours."
"Who knows?" Rider said noncommittally: "Now it just depends on which side takes action first."
laugh--
A dark red ballistic trajectory was shot from a container in the distance, hitting the shell of a container next to the two heroic spirits. After Lancer and Rider looked over, it exploded. After a large hole was opened in the container, a looking gesture seemed to be revealed inside.
The figure who was eavesdropping, but was very surprised when he was unexpectedly discovered - wearing a black tights and a white skull mask, is obviously an Assassin.
"The second round begins!" Rider waved his hand boldly, and a row of three archers appeared behind the tank. A round of concentrated fire killed the Assassin in the container without any suspense.
As if stepping on a hornet's nest, dozens of black figures instantly emerged from the surrounding shadows, rushing towards the two heroic spirits and the masters gathered together like countless shadows.
"What's the second round! No matter how this situation looks like, it's time to protect the master now, right?" He galloped towards the position of Kenneth Sola and Webb.
"So you are just a warrior, and I am the 'king'," Iskandar waved his hand again, and five more archers appeared: "In the name of the conquering king, shoot those assassins!"
The two assassins who rushed towards the master's position the fastest fell down as if their strange movements were completely ineffective.
"How about it? Assassins? If you insist on assassinating my master, be prepared for the entire army to be annihilated." Rider laughed and waved again. This time the number of archers appeared was seven: "1ancer
Oh, protect our master well, maybe I will miss one or two."
Since the Masters were standing in a relatively open area with almost no cover, the Assassins tried several times but were repelled by the archers and the Lancer who arrived in time, so they turned to attack the Rider.
"Hahaha!" Rider laughed loudly: "I guess you decided to use this place as a breakthrough after hearing that the king admitted that he was not brave enough."
The approaching assassins seemed to be wary of Rider's words, but instead accelerated their speed, and several Assassins who originally pounced on Rider even killed several archers standing outside.
"I said that if you take the initiative to show up, I will give you the opportunity to die with honor -" Rider turned a blind eye to the approaching Assassins, suddenly raised the thick-edged dagger in his hand and shouted: "Otherwise!"
Phew—puff, puff puff puff puff!
As the dust rose and followed by a series of sounds like bubbles bursting, all the assaulting assassins near Rider were pierced by spears without exception, because on their way forward, a man suddenly appeared and took a stance.
Waiting for his spearmen, it was too late to change direction.
"How's it going, Ancer?" Rider watched as the assassins in black clothes and white masks around him turned into spirits and disappeared one by one, and then turned to Diarmuid, who was guarding the masters: "In the second round, do you admit defeat?"
"In this kind of large-army battle, my skills are indeed inferior to others." 1ancer simply admitted defeat: "So, is there a third round?"
"Well...it seems to be gone." Rider waved his hand and began to dismiss the spearmen and archers: "I originally wanted to capture the secretly spying master as a condition, but he has been chased by Assassin."
"Tsk, isn't that a total number?" 1ancer frowned fiercely.
177:59:23
Emiya Kiritsugu's original plan was to first use sniper blasts to expose the hidden assassin, then Kuu Maiya would use a continuous machine gun to attack Ancer and Rider's masters, and then he would use origin bombs to attack the flaws.
The biggest one, in the end, escaped immediately as planned regardless of success or failure, while Saber waited near the escape point to deal with possible tracking.
But the two steps in the middle were directly skipped. After he blew up the container and contacted Maiya to let her proceed as planned, he heard the response of a strange young man.
"Ah? Do it? You can't do it, because the eldest sister was kidnapped by me." There seemed to be a sound of hurried running coming from the communicator.
"……Who are you?"
"My name is Ryuunosuke Ubu. With your intelligence capabilities, uncle, you should know my identity." This time, there seemed to be the roar of a motorcycle and the sound of something exploding.
The battle failed completely, and he also lost his assistant. Kiritsugu could not help but be stunned for his calmness, and then he began to think about countermeasures. Since it was said to be taken away, it did not mean life-threatening, and he further inferred that the other party might do it in order to obtain information.
Interrogation, so there is not much time to save people, but fortunately the other party should not be able to counter-track him through the communication device.
"Hey, uncle, although I have no interest in arresting you, if your actions just now were not coordinated by eldest sister, wouldn't it have attracted the attention of the assassins?"
Oops, Kiritsugu immediately cut off the communication and looked around. Although the rider was fighting fiercely, his intuition told him that more than one assassin was trying to track him.
Although I don't know why the young man who is also a disciple of Tokiomi Tosaka didn't try to talk to him, but the first thing to do now is to escape immediately.
Fortunately, although the assassins have high aura blocking capabilities, their ability to sense the Master is almost non-existent, so it is almost impossible to track them where the heroic spirits are fighting.
After a while, Kiritsugu successfully escaped from the container terminal area and found a small speedboat hidden by the nearby river.
As long as he moves it and crosses the Miyuan River, coupled with his concealment magic, even if the battle over there ends and frees up manpower, the Assassins will never be able to track him, but why should Saber stay nearby...
“time a1ter·doub1e acce1!!”
Kiritsugu, who was about to reach out to activate the engine, suddenly withdrew his hand at a speed far beyond human limits, jumped back, and rolled away from the speedboat that was originally the key to escape.
"Haha, it's not bad." Next to the engine of the speedboat, a tall and thin man wearing black tights and a white skull mask stood at some point. He was slowly taking back a pair of sharp swords that seemed to have just been chopped in his hands.
Scimitar: "Originally I just wanted to chop off your hand that holds the command spell, but now it seems I have to aim at your throat."
"Assassin." Kiritsugu whispered.
It is impossible to win, even if you receive a lot of information about how weak Assassin is, even if the guy in front of you is just a weaker incarnation of them, even if you have successfully sneak attacked one of them——
But the possibility of winning in a frontal battle was still zero, Kiritsugu came to this conclusion.
Then, the only option is to escape.
This assassin is definitely not chasing from the dock. He should be just curious about this small speedboat and squatting here under the instructions of its master. Therefore, if you limit his speed in some way, plus the inherent time
If you control it, you can successfully escape to the second evacuation point.
"I guess you must want to escape, but it's a pity." Assassin suddenly rushed in front of him at a speed that exceeded Kiritsugu's speed after using magic just now. The white mask almost stuck to Kiritsugu's face: "I am faster than you.
"
Da da da--
Kiritsugu fired at Assassin with the short machine gun he had already held in his coat pocket, but the opponent made provocative movements and completely dodged a whole bunch of bullets. This showed that he was at a complete disadvantage in terms of speed, unless he continued to increase the number of bullets.
It has a multiplier of temporary control, but you can't be sure that the opponent will not have the ability to explode.
"I'll tell you some very unfortunate news. In addition to most of the mediocre guys who can only be used as cannon fodder, there are also some breakers who can fight against normal heroic spirits. And I'm called -" I was already rushed by a machine gun.
The far away Assassin suddenly appeared in front of Kiritsugu again in an instant: "[Swift Macul]!"
This was not a spatial ability, but a way to instantly enhance himself. Kiritsugu judged that the effect was very similar to his own inherent time control. If it turned into a duel with that kind of ability, his side would be overwhelmed.
Sexual disadvantage.
"So, how many people like you are there?" Kiritsugu put on a new magazine and continued shooting, while Assassin, who called himself Makur, hid more comfortably and even performed a few gymnastics moves.
"Haha, of course you can keep talking," Assassin rolled over and stood on the speedboat, took out his scimitar and twirled it: "Before I get tired of it and decide to kill you."
"Since I can't run away, killing you is also an option." Kiritsugu continued shooting calmly, but this time the opponent even stayed put and made a series of afterimages to avoid them all.
And the strategies that can be used——
"Haha, for someone as powerful as me, there's still-" "touch!"
Assassin, who was so proud that he almost voluntarily leaked information, suddenly fell to the ground. No, it was not that he fell down, but a purple figure fell from the sky, stepping on his head and hitting the ground hard.
The heroic spirit immediately transformed into a spirit child, but the disappearing radiating spirit particles that almost covered the ground clearly illustrate the consequences of that kick.
"Hi, this is the first time we meet, the gentleman who kidnapped my master." A girl's voice sounded clear, sweet and inexplicably familiar.
Emiya Kiritsugu slowly raised his head. There was a girl wearing a purple double-button fur coat, a pure white velvet skirt and white fur boots. She had long silvery hair that shone like snow, bright ruby eyes, and was as beautiful as a doll.
girl.
She was standing on the speedboat looking down at him. Although her appearance and temperament looked very similar to Irisviel's, she was a little younger. It would be just right to be the mysterious visitor who broke into Einzbern Castle without permission.
.
"Caster?" Kiritsugu seemed to have thought of something, and his voice was a little embarrassed.
"My name is Rizleich Justeisa von Einzbern, and I have appeared as a caster in this battle." The girl closed her eyes slightly and then opened them, with a little narrowness in her red eyes: "
I heard that you married my clone and had a daughter?"
