Chapter 12: Gather together and clear the place! (Please vote for me)
The Mionkawa River is located on the west side of Fuyuki City. It is a wide river two hundred meters wide and several kilometers long, directly connected to the sea.
This big river just separates Fuyuki City into the old district and the new district. There are many families living on both sides of the river embankment. Whenever night falls and the lights are brightly lit, passing by the bridge across the river, you can feel the changes of the times, which is a rare beauty.
.
At nine o'clock in the evening, in this era when night life is not rich, the lights gradually go out.
A two-story building with a good view was occupied in advance on the second row to the west of the river bank, and a magic barrier was set up. Tokiomi Tosaka was looking at the deserted river bank with a telescope.
"There's still half an hour." He turned back to look at Kotomine Kirei, who was standing silently in the shadows. Kotomine Kirei shook his head slightly.
Tokiomi Tosaka was silent for a moment: "Withdraw all the Assassins, lie in ambush on both sides of the river embankment, and wait for opportunities to act."
Kotomine Kirei said worriedly: "Rin..."
"We will soon find out who did it." Tokiomi Tosaka said coldly: "There is a high probability that a master will use it to threaten me at a critical moment."
Then what are you going to do? Kotomine Kirei knowingly did not ask this question. He bowed slightly and respectfully exited the room. In a corner where Tokiomi Tohsaka could not see, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then
Instant return.
…
On the other side of the river embankment, in a similar position, Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant Kuu Maiya was holding a sniper rifle, aiming towards the river bank from a distance.
"Kiritsugu-sama, I have arrived at the designated location." She said to the phone next to her ear.
"Wait for my orders."
"As commanded."
After the brief exchange, the phone fell into a long silence, as if it had been hung up, but Kuu Maiya could hear the breathing coming from the other side, which was a little heavy and a little trembling.
"Maiya, you know your mission tonight, right?" Emiya Kiritsugu said after a long while.
"Yes, as one of the baits."
"you……"
"Please do not hesitate, Kiritsugu-sama."
"...Waiting for my order."
Opposite the phone, Emiya Kiritsugu leaned against the wall, putting the phone back with trembling arms, and his hesitant expression quickly returned to calmness.
Tonight, he might have to send his two favorite women to die. If it had been nine years ago, he would never have hesitated. If it had been nine years ago, maybe he would not have set fire to drive away the tourists last night, which led to Lancer's discovery.
matter.
He will just blow up the building!
"It's really a step back."
…
Hyatt Hotel.
Kenneth looked at his fiancée Sola, who was arranging his collar in front of him, full of pride, and had the feeling of a warrior about to go into battle.
It was finally his turn to take action.
He will be invincible in the battle of the Servant and the battlefield of the Master! This is the confidence of Lord El-Melloi, the strongest genius in the Clock Tower!
"Go and take back the victory of the Holy Grail War and all honors, Rod Elumeroy."
"Of course."
Kenneth gave Sola a confident smile, turned around and picked up a large ceramic bottle.
This is his most important magic gift. The weight-reducing bottle actually weighs 140 kilograms!
Its name is Moon Spirit Essence. Even among Kenneth's many rituals, it is the most powerful one. It is a magic that he considers invincible!
Holding the large bottle under his arm, Kenneth walked out of the hotel with a high head and rushed towards the battlefield.
…
Night, 21:25.
"Wow ah ah..."
The roar of thunder came to the promised riverside along with Webb's scream. No matter how many times he rode on the Conqueror's Noble Phantasm, the Divine Wheel, Webb still couldn't stand the passion of racing in the air.
With his feet on the ground, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his weak legs, and looked around carefully: "Are we the only two here? By the way... bringing me here is not a good idea.
Choose?!"
"Hahaha, tonight's battle that will change history, don't you want to witness it with your own eyes?!" The Conqueror King laughed: "And you are not the only Master here!"
Zhi——!!
Amidst the harsh braking sound, a black car on the riverside road suddenly stopped from a speed of 180 miles. In the driver's seat, the white-haired wife Irisviel got out of the car, caressing her chest gently.
"It was so dangerous, I was almost late."
In the co-pilot, Arturia looked a little helpless and seemed to have some lingering fears. When she saw Weber below, her inner resistance to Irisviel's presence in person was reduced.
The two of them walked down the river bank from the steps and walked towards the Conqueror King and Weber. At the same time, in another direction, Ji Xing, who was carrying a spear, also appeared there and headed towards the Conqueror King.
The three parties met at the same time.
Artoria and Irisviel, who had already met the King of Conquerors, looked at Ji Xing, and Ji Xing also looked at Saber, who they finally met.
She wears a dress with a blue background and white edges, a silver-based armor with blue patterns on the outside, and pure white trousers on her legs. Her feet and hands are completely covered by thick silver armor, even though she is only 1.5 meters tall.
A few, but there is also some warrior demeanor that should not be underestimated, but the face is too delicate, so beautiful that it is not like a living person, the skin is better than snow, the golden hair, the eyes are green, and the stupid hair on the top of the head makes it even more cute.
"King Arthur Arturia Pendragon, here for an appointment." She introduced and greeted her.
Ji Xing smiled: "Penglai Gunslinger Sanren, Tong Yuan. But you should have checked my information. I was named after Tong Yuan just because my experience is the most similar to that of Tong Yuan in the opera, so you call me Ji
A star would do, too.”
"You two are very similar. One is given an extra name, and the other is given the wrong gender, hahaha..." The Conqueror King said loudly: "But that doesn't matter. What matters is that we live happily and truly.
Life!"
Weber thought of the Conqueror's meaningless attitude when he saw the history books that wrongly recorded him, and then looked at the somewhat ridiculous combat uniform with a world map printed on it, and curled his lips.
It's always like this, always said like this, if you lose tonight, let's see if you can still laugh out loud.
He hasn't realized yet that this thought is not about disdain for the Conqueror King, but about worry.
"Your language tonight is more pleasing to the ears than the night before. I am here, but I am just Saber who is going to have a showdown with you, and my gender does not matter." Artoria said in a deep voice: "Then, the only thing missing is Archer.
?”
Ji Xing smiled and said: "He has arrived a long time ago, but he just felt that he should make his final appearance, so he was waiting for the three of us to get together first."
As soon as the words fell, a golden light suddenly appeared beside the five people.
The light was extremely dazzling, causing Weber and Irisviel to tilt their heads. Only three Heroic Spirits could look directly at the figure wearing golden shining armor.
"Two bastards who ignored my existence and became kings without knowing what the heavens and the earth are like, and one who became a hero just because of luck and didn't even leave a name in the history of mankind.
Accepting your invitation and letting you wear my glory and worship me is already the greatest gift I have given you! Do you bastards still want me to arrive first and wait for you?"
"Isn't it better to wait?" Ji Xing asked.
Jin Shining was silent for a moment.
The next moment, flame-like auras rose up on his left and right sides. In the strange golden disc-shaped 'cave', a pair of swords poked their heads out of it, and then fired!
Its speed broke through the sound barrier in an instant, and it arrived in front of Ji Xing almost at the same time. Ji Xing turned to the left and tilted his head to the right. The pair of swords brushed past his body and nailed the sword behind him with a rumble.
Smoke and dust are flying in the sand!
Waver, who was originally unhappy with Jin Shining's arrogance, opened his mouth in surprise, and the Conqueror and Artoria also looked slightly solemn.
Jin Shanxuan raised his head slightly and said in a cold voice: "Huh, if you can escape my casual attacks for a few moments, I will temporarily forgive your previous disrespectful words, but if you do it again, I will cut you into pieces.
Wan Duan, bastard!"
Compared with the wise king, this Jin Shining Shining really has a bad character. Without enough frustration and beatings, it is similar to a naughty child's disease that needs to be cured. Ji Xing shook his head in amusement.
Seeing this situation, the Conqueror King quickly smoothed things over and said: "Wait, wait, we are gathering here tonight not just for fighting, let's talk first. Alas, I originally wanted to buy some wine and bring it over, but my little master
My wallet was empty because of yesterday’s play, and I didn’t agree to plunder it..."
"Hey!" Weber's face turned red.
"We have to fight again, so we won't have to drink with friends." The Conqueror King continued, minding his own business: "Everyone gathers here because they have the qualification to obtain the Holy Grail. They all have a reason to obtain the Holy Grail.
Yesterday Tong Yuan... No, Ji Xing told me that the Holy Grail is not actually a universal wishing machine, but is related to the 'third method', the 'magic that saves mankind'. It is just right for me. After all, I
His only wish is to regain his body and conquer this vast world!
What is your wish? Hahaha, I still want to make some final efforts. If I just watch, there is no need to bleed. We are both heroic spirits. If we can use each other's abilities, then I don't need to say more!
"
Did he know the third method? Irisviel glanced at Ji Xing, was it the monarch of the clock tower...or did he know it from the Matou family?
Then she looked at Artoria worriedly, because she knew that Artoria's wish could not be realized by the third method.
Sure enough, Artoria's face showed a look of astonishment, and then Jin Shining hummed: "Wish? I don't have that kind of thing, and I don't need to have it. I only appear here because the Holy Grail originally belonged to
This king.
All the treasures in the world come from my king's collection, but because it has been so long, some of them have been lost. The Holy Grail is probably one of them, but its owner is still me!"
"As expected." The conquering king shook his head and said: "I think I already know your real name. There should be only one king who is more arrogant than I, Iskandar. The king of ancient Uruk, the oldest
The 'King of Heroes' is a guy who is two-thirds god and one-third human."
Waver and Irisviel opened their mouths in surprise, and even Saber returned from her recent daze and looked at Jin Shining in surprise.
"Then, that hero king who is almost the oldest in human records and lived around 2600 BC?" Weber stuttered: "The template of all mythological heroes in the legend, the prototype of all treasures, the hero king Gilgamesh?!
"
Emiya Kiritsugu, who shared consciousness with Saber and was hiding in the dark, also showed his heaviness: "It turned out to be..." This may be more difficult than the conquering king Iskandar and the mysterious Horai Gunsling Sanjin!
Jin Shanshan raised his head again and said: "For the sake of your showing an expression of reverence that satisfies me, I will forgive you for calling me by my first name this time, you bastard!"
Weber swallowed his saliva and became more worried about the conquering king. Can the human king defeat the hero king?
He turned his head slightly and aimed at Ji Xing. Let's join forces. If we still have a chance, let's join forces first to kill this mythical heroic spirit!
The next moment, he saw Ji Xing slightly raising his head behind him with a smile that was no different from before.
Bang——
The King of Conqueror slapped his big hand on the back, causing Weber to stagger and almost fall down. Then the King of Conqueror's thunderous voice exploded again.
"Webber, a person who is afraid of just one name cannot become a great person! Even a true god is still just a mountain to be conquered in front of my conquering king, Iskandar!"
He looked at Artoria: "Ji Xing just wants to use the Holy Grail to attack the clock tower. The King of Heroes wants to 'recover' the Holy Grail. You are the only one left. King Arthur, what is your wish?"
Irisviel looked at Artoria worriedly, and was suddenly startled... He seemed to have said something as remarkable as the King of Heroes' name just now? Attack... the clock tower?!
Emiya Kiritsugu also had a look of astonishment on his face, what?
Arturia and Jin Shining didn't care much about the clock tower. She looked directly at the people in front of her, raised her head and said: "I want to save my hometown and change the fate of Britain's destruction! The Holy Grail... can't it be done?
?”
The Conqueror King paused for a moment, frowned and said: "Let's not talk about whether the Holy Grail can do it...I said, did I hear you correctly? Change destiny? In other words, to subvert history? That period of history you created?"
"Yes. I want to go back to when I pulled out the sword from the stone, I want to change that ending, and I want Britain to have a greater king who will not perish because of my incompetence!"
Her words were full of momentum, but after a brief silence, she was greeted by Jin Shining's sneer, and she looked angry.
"Archer, what's so funny!"
Jin Shining shook his head and said with a smile: "A person who claims to be a king and is praised by all people actually thinks that he is incompetent. Did you hear that, Rider, Lancer!"
"I heard it." Ji Xing said: "But it's really nothing funny. Those who put themselves above the country and their people and believe that they are perfect are emperors and overlords. Those who regard themselves as part of the country are willing to sacrifice themselves for the people.
The king is a holy king, his ideas are just different."
The Conqueror King, who was about to open his mouth to speak, was speechless and scratched his chin unprepared.
"Ah, is that how you see it..."
Ji Xing smiled, looked at Artoria and said: "Ignore these two overlords. The era they ruled is different from what you encountered. It is only thanks to your help that Britain has been able to struggle for so many years with the troubled country.
Dedication, if replaced by these two overlords, they would probably only usher in a vigorous downfall in the first place."
Artoria looked serious: "Thank you for your appreciation, but I am still incompetent and cannot continue Britain."
There are internal and external troubles, a shortage of soldiers and food, and the most critical thing is a lack of food. Unless Ji Xing is replaced in that position, Britain will basically perish.
He shook his head and said nothing more, but looked at Jin Shining, because another pair of swords were pointed at him, and the atmosphere was obviously becoming tense and could explode at any time.
"I have said it before, right? If you dare to disrespect me again, I will cut you into pieces!"
The King of Conquerors sighed: "It seems that the chat can only end here. Hey, King of Heroes, do you want to clear the field first and then fight!"
Jin Shanshan looked at him and then at Ji Xing, snorted coldly, and pointed the sword in another direction.
The King of Conquerors, Ji Xing, and Artoria all turned around, locked in one direction, and immediately their bodies flashed out!
In the direction they were going, Assassins were exposed one by one in panic, and were killed on the spot by laser fire and slashed swords.
This four-person decisive battle kicked off with the Assassin assassin's complete exit!
Happy National Day everyone, please vote for October!
