Chapter 233 Infiltrate? That's the rest of my game
Lu Xiao didn't mind starting a fight directly in front of Tohsaka's house, but Rin firmly disagreed with this.
On the one hand, it was to prevent the Tohsaka Residence from being destroyed in the aftermath of the battle between the three heroic spirits. On the other hand, Rin also wanted to follow the principle that the Holy Grail War must be conducted in secret.
Although the place where the Tohsaka family is located is not considered a downtown area, it is still barely located in the center of Miyama Town. Once the noise becomes louder, it is likely to attract the attention of nearby residents.
Lu Xiao glanced at Maiya and Honga who were setting up sniper rifles and longbows again on the tall building in the distance, and suggested to Artoria, who was waiting for the formation: "King of Knights, starting a war here is not in line with the principles of the Holy Grail War. Let's change it."
place?"
Arturia tilted her head slightly while maintaining vigilance, as if consulting Kuon Maiya for her opinion.
"Bang!"
As expected, the response Lu Xiao received was a sniper bullet.
Lu Xiao was not surprised by Maiya's decision as he dodged the bullet by turning sideways.
'As expected of the assistant brought in by Emiya Kiritsugu, a heretic in the magic world, who scorns the principles that a magician should follow.'
Rin, who was sitting in the mansion watching the battle, was a little crazy. She had not yet learned from Tokiomi how to activate all the defensive spells in the Tohsaka Residence.
Once the great barrier maintained by the mansion is broken, this old mansion that has gone through ups and downs for 200 years will probably be destroyed.
"Assassin! Take these guys who don't follow the rules to another place to fight!"
'That's easy to say.'
Red A's bow was the first to fire from a distance. The Immortal Slash in Lu Xiao's hand was unsheathed with the force of Iai, and the spurting sword energy blew away the incoming arrows.
But at the same time, Artoria's spear followed closely and Lu Xiao, who kept his sword drawn, could only twist his body to avoid her attack.
"King of Knights, this kind of two-on-one battle doesn't conform to your way of chivalry, does it?"
Faced with Lu Xiao's words, Arturia retorted without changing her expression: "Assassin, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
"Before I am a knight, I am first a king."
"When I was young, I might have been obsessed with the way of knights, but you are facing a horse-riding king who has experienced countless bloody battles. Do you think I would give up my advantage on the battlefield and fight the enemy one-on-one?"
"clang!"
Arturia's marksmanship is nothing fancy. It uses the power of the horse's sprint to launch straight thrusts and sweeps, a typical European classical fighting method.
However, the seemingly simple moves have been refined on the battlefield. Each move has no unnecessary movements and hits the vital point directly.
Lu Xiao learned experience from the battle with Lancelot, and Diarmuid's experience made him remember it in his heart. It was a stupid act to confront an A++-level Noble Phantasm head-on with a B-level one.
Twisting to avoid Artoria's holy spear stabbing his chest, Lu Xiao used centrifugal force as his body rotated to raise the hilt of the Immortal Slash and hit the middle of Arturia's lance.
The force of the deliberate shaking caused the shaking of the holy spear to reach Arturia's hand, delaying her next move for a moment.
The drooping blade was lifted upwards, aiming at the horse under the King of Knights. When the two sides passed each other, the Immortal Slash cut a deep incision on Dong Stallion's silver-white armor.
Before Lu Xiao could regain his composure, Red A's series of sniper arrows arrived again.
Touching the ground lightly with his feet, Lu Xiao changed the direction before the arrow came, relying on the residential buildings near Tosaka House as a shield, deliberately leaving his aura to attract Arturia to pursue him.
"Huh~"
Rin let out a sigh of relief in the Tohsaka Residence. She did not fully see the electric confrontation just now, but at least from the result, Assassin successfully led the King of Knights away and relieved Tosaka Residence.
crisis faced.
"Pop!"
Patting his cheeks hard, Rin solemnly encouraged himself with a flushed face: "Cheer up, Rin, no one can help you now. You can only find the whereabouts of your father by yourself."
Although Assassin faced two powerful heroic spirits at the same time, Rin knew most of his life through dreams, and Rin did not think that Assassin would be defeated so easily.
…
When Lu Xiao moved Arturia and Hong A to move the battlefield, the battle at Liudong Temple entered a fever pitch.
After all, Leonardo Da Vinci had just moved to Liudong Temple in the early hours of yesterday morning. It was difficult to arrange all the defenses of the new workshop in one day. He only reinforced the original boundaries of Liudong Temple.
The barrier of Liudong Temple was originally designed to target unnatural spirits such as heroic spirits, and its defense against humans was almost non-existent.
The battles in the previous two days had already made Da Vinci aware of Gilgamesh's powerful strength. When strengthening the boundary of the workshop, he mainly focused on strengthening the heroic spirits.
Facts have proved that the barrier set up by Ryudou Temple using the magic power of the Great Holy Grail is also effective against the King of Heroes. He cannot bypass the shrine and enter Ryudou Temple.
However, on the way up the mountain, Gilgamesh's bombardment of the King's Treasures never stopped, and most of Da Vinci's attention was forced to focus on Gilgamesh.
Under normal circumstances, the Master will not go to the front line to participate in the battle in person, but will sit in the rear and strategize.
Although Tokiomi Tosaka's fighting style in the Holy Grail War was very timid, it must be said that it was indeed quite pragmatic, and it was also the fighting style that most Masters would choose.
Kotomine Kirei, who was born as a substitute, is not a magician-type Master who sits from behind and commands.
He is a warrior, an outstanding warrior by human standards.
The defense of Ryudou Temple is very weak against humans. Kirei Kotomine took advantage of Leonardo's busy dealing with Gilgamesh and sneaked into the temple from the back mountain.
"Um?!"
The surveillance mechanical animals placed around the temple sent intelligence, and Leonardo da Vinci immediately received the signal of the invasion.
"Kariya, please go back to the main hall and keep an eye on Irisviel."
Yanye nodded in understanding: "No problem, just be careful."
Da Vinci said to Sakura solemnly: "Master, I'm afraid I have to let you participate in the battle. Someone slipped into the temple from the back mountain. It should be Kotomine Kirei mentioned by Assassin."
Sakura looked a little nervous, but she was not overwhelmed by the pressure of the enemy's attack. After regaining her composure, she asked firmly: "Caster, what should I do?"
"Hehe~"
Da Vinci had a wicked smile on his face: "Remember the 'toy' I made for you and Rin? It's time to put it to use."
"boom!"
Gilgamesh's powerful chain Noble Phantasm attack forced Leonardo to turn his attention back to the front.
"Master, you only need to persist for a short period of time. As long as the King of Heroes is entangled by the King of Conquerors, I will be able to help you deal with the intruders."
"Don't be impulsive and rush forward. Everything should be done safely."
…
Entering the temple from the back mountain, Kotomine Kirei, who had many infiltration experiences, walked lightly and searched the huge Ryudou Temple.
The huge noise created by Gilgamesh provided strong conditions for him to sneak in. A little noise would not arouse the owner of this workshop.
Kotomine Kirei first set his sights on the magnificent main hall of the temple.
The Tosaka family is one of the three Fuyuki families. Tokiomi knows the nature of the Holy Grail War very clearly. As his disciple, Kotomine Kirei naturally also heard about it.
This was not the first time that Einzbern had made the Small Holy Grail into a human form. They had tried it during the Third Holy Grail War.
The corner of Kotomine Kirei's mouth curled up, "If I can use this android to attract Emiya Kiritsugu, I should be able to better understand my own nature through understanding him, right?"
"Da~"
"Um?"
When Kirei Kamigamine was slightly distracted, his hair suddenly stood on end. He clearly felt that he had stepped on some kind of trigger.
