In the dense forest surrounding Einzbern Castle, there is a huge expulsion barrier.
Any intelligent creature that tries to move forward will unknowingly adjust its path to avoid the castle. This expulsion effect will be stronger the closer it is to the castle.
Arrive at this legendary city while under the influence.
At this moment, something indescribable is rushing deep into the forest. It looks like a huge black smoke, but it has the speed, noise and even destructive power of a train.
"Gah oh oh oh -"
It made a harsh and meaningless roar while charging straight forward. All the trees in the way were broken and knocked down by the huge force, leaving only an ugly forest trail behind it.
"So there is still such a use." Over a forest clearing far away in front of the monster's advance route, Iskandar was riding his beloved horse and looked from a distance: "Those two old guys haven't been like this for a long time.
It’s gone too far.”
The big black horse Buciferas snorted in agreement.
"Obviously, the opponent plans to use your Kamui Wheel as a battering ram. They just ram it all the way through, breaking through several layers of Einzbern's protective barrier. In the end, your bullock cart is completely counterattacked.
After the spell is destroyed, it's their turn to take the stage." The girl wearing a white dress floating next to him was Caster who came back immediately after completing the alliance with Kenneth's camp.
She seems to be very dissatisfied with the fact that she is much shorter than Iskandar. When she is close to him, she will use magic to levitate. Although this allows her to even out the height, the difference in size becomes more obvious.
.
"That being said, the protective barrier of that castle must have been broken long ago when the archer attacked." Rider thoughtfully did not point out this point, but held the reins to let the big black horse continue to rise for easier observation.
On the assault path of the black bullock cart, in addition to the flying trees, rocks and soil, there is also a translucent light wall that can only be seen by those who have mastered magic. It will appear from time to time and be immediately smashed - Ain
The defensive barrier set up by the Zbelen family in the forest.
"That shiny golden guy flew directly from the sky on a Noble Phantasm. The no-fly barrier is ineffective against powerful Noble Phantasms." Caster answered while casting an adjustment magic on a large fixed spell in the forest clearing.
It looked like a node in some kind of giant magic barrier, and it was giving instructions to many other nodes under the control of caster.
"Ha! Jin Shining, that's a good title." Rider laughed, then looked at the movements of the girl next to him: "What is this for? That Berserker is about to rush over."
"Although such a direct rampage will touch and destroy most of the barriers, those types that need to be actively activated will not be affected. Now let the berserker who has already fallen into the depths taste the power of the counterattack barrier after my transformation.
"The girl looks very confident.
"Hmm," Rider touched his chin and suddenly said: "To transform such a large-scale barrier cannot be completed in a day or two, right? And many key nodes should not be outside."
Even if she formed an alliance immediately after her master was captured, there wouldn't be enough time, so when did she transform the entire forest boundary into her own?
"...I have no obligation to explain this. I just need to help you get the oxcart back!" Caster's eyes widened as if he was hit in a weak point, but he immediately ignored the question.
"Okay, then how are you going to stop that dark guy?" Rider didn't seem to want to get to the bottom of it. He raised his finger and pointed in the direction where the sound of the assault was getting closer: "I can't stop the charge of those two old guys."
"Humph, of course let them stop on their own, I am the 'Winter Saint'~" Caster opened his hands as if to hug something.
call--
Following the girl's movements, Iskandar felt a gust of cold wind passing through the woods, icy to the bone. This feeling was simply incredible for a heroic spirit body that had ignored the influence of the natural environment. At this time, the self-proclaimed Saintess of Winter
Caster's clothes were flying, and his white shawl and fiery red eyes had all turned into ice blue shining with silver light.
"[Freeze Baptism]!" "Boom!"
The sky and the earth turned silvery white for an instant, and the dense snowflakes that were spinning and falling like crazy made it difficult for the rider to see the figure of the girl close at hand. At the same time, the black and red bull cart that crashed through the woods and rushed into the open space was instantly frozen in place, forming a huge
of ice cubes.
"Phew - the next step is up to you, King of Conquerors." Caster, whose color and eye color returned to normal, slowly landed on the ground.
"Gahhhh!!" As if in response to her words, the berserker and the oxcart that were originally frozen broke free from the huge ice block in the next moment and rushed towards this direction with a roar.
"Riding duel?" The giant red man raised his lips confidently. Even if Berserker rides the divine wheel, without the speed bonus, he is definitely no match for the King of Conqueror who appears as a rider!

"No need to wait for Caster, let's leave the castle first."
In the lobby on the first floor of Einzbern Castle, everyone in Emiya Kiritsugu's camp except Caster gathered here to listen to his arrangements, except for Lin Hao who deliberately tilted his head to ignore him.
"Two Sabers are fighting Archer in the garden. Airi, take Lin Hao and retreat away from the battlefield. Maiya and I will go to the side of the opponent's attack route to scout." Kiritsugu quickly made arrangements.
As a magician killer who has been on the battlefields of various places for several years, Kiritsugu felt great malice when he heard the rule changes. After exchanging information with the Sabers about the golden shining and dark heroic spirits, he finally made a decision
Such a decision.
First of all, judging from the fact that Archer was able to reach the castle without destroying the wards along the way in the past few times, his aircraft probably has the ability to ignore the magic wards, and based on his arrogant words and deeds, it also carried other participants from Tokiomi's camp.
The possibility of entering is zero, so keeping the two Sabers he is interested in here is a safe way to restrict him.
Secondly, if the remaining combatants want to approach the castle, they must violently break the magic barrier along the way instead of sneaking in. The possibility of this action was not considered by Ellie. On the contrary, she and Lin Hao even strengthened the barrier when repairing it.
The result is that if they are nearby when the barrier is broken, the pain fed back from the magic circuit will even cause them to faint, so they must evacuate.
Finally, Saber does not have the ability to "act alone". To put it aside, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of Black Saber, Kiritsugu must be within a certain range. However, if he simply hides and watches the battle, he can easily be assassinated by someone who is also good at hiding.
They made a sneak attack, so he decided to do the opposite and take the initiative to find the berserker's master and eliminate them - the berserkers were not capable of acting alone, and Tokiomi Tosaka's student named Ryunosuke Ubui would definitely be nearby.
"Who has any opinions?" Kiritsugu looked around at the people present.
Naturally, there will be no Maiya. Black Saber heard that there is such a heroic spirit who covets her beauty, and is already eager to teach him a lesson, so there is no problem. Then only Eri and Lin Hao, who are a little too concerned about the Winter Saint, are left.
.
"Don't bump into Assassin again casually," as expected, the girl from Country C started to discredit him again: "Command Seals are not such a waste."
"Xiao Hao, where is Caster? Are you still unwilling to come back?" Aili's expression looked a little anxious. It didn't seem like she was worried about her ancestors?
"She - uh!" Almost at the same time, Irisviel and Lin Hao showed painful expressions.
"Kiritsugu! The enemy broke into the jungle barrier directly from the east! It was not broken, it was a destructive invasion!" Kuu Maiya, who had regained control of the bat familiar, immediately reported.
"Transfer immediately as planned!" Kiritsugu nodded to the Sabers, walked quickly to Irisviel and helped her walk out, while Maiya pushed Lin Hao's wheelchair.
With the character of that golden heroic spirit, he will definitely not wait for others to open the way. Even if he breaks in directly with almost no obstacles, he will probably appear within the castle soon. He can only hope that Saber will be attractive enough to him.
Already.
"Eh - Xiaohao?" Just after leaving Einzbern Castle and going deep into the forest, Kiritsugu noticed that Irisviel's expression suddenly became relaxed, but she immediately thought of something and turned to look at Linhao.
"Caster is back," Lin Hao frowned and her voice became a little stuck: "She is..."
call--
Everyone present felt that a strong magic wave exploded in the distance, and then an unusually strong cold wind blew out from the center of the wave. Kiritsugu even saw the big tree next to him being covered with lightning in an instant.
A layer of white frost.
"Caster has concentrated all the sensing nodes around the castle on herself! And she is fighting the enemy!" Ellie almost screamed, and even had the intention of heading towards the center of the magic explosion, while Lin Hao covered his head and said
at every turn.
As far as Kiritsugu knew, as long as one of those nodes was destroyed, the sensor would instantly feel the pain of slowly pulling his head and finally pulling out one. The intruder was obviously wreaking havoc, and Caster was fighting with it.
Has the node induction been withdrawn? Judging from the fact that Lin Hao was almost comatose through only a slight feedback from the magic link, the Saint of Winter is really a ruthless person.
"That's because she wants to protect you," Kiritsugu grabbed his wife and said, "That's why we need to evacuate immediately and stay far away from here."
Although he usually doesn't do this, he can still say something reasonable when he thinks about it.
"...You're right." Irisviel nodded slowly, as if she was trying to hold back her tears, and then resolutely turned around to help Maiya push the wheelchair towards the intended hiding place.
Didn't the caster use some kind of charm magic on Ellie? This doesn't look like the attitude towards the ancestors.
Kiritsugu thought doubtfully as he continued to lead the way.
