Tribute to the Demon King

This, this is...

Weber's eyes widened involuntarily.

"Riderrrrrrrrrr what are you doing ahhhhh!"

Unprecedented fear overwhelmed Weber's heart, and the previous emotion disappeared immediately, and he shouted loudly against the thunderbolt.

But Rider, who was completely excited, ignored him.

So strong.This man is so strong.

Let the whole world roar for him, let the world fight for him, he is undoubtedly the most noble king.

But because of this, that man is worthy of sacrificing his strongest Noble Phantasm.

Originally he thought Lancer was strong enough.But compared to this man who waved his hand and set off a ten-mile storm and hundreds of thunderbolts, and attacked with the endless sand as a soldier, he seemed nothing.

This king is exactly the super-big difficulty that is higher than the Hindu Kush and hotter than Makran Resha. Rider believed that if he could defeat the enemy in front of him, the victory of the Holy Grail War was already within his grasp.

That being the case, why doesn't Rider himself challenge it?

——Under the guidance of Rider, the king's army is heading forward, charging away!

------

About [-] kilometers straight westward from the bustling streets of Fuyuki City, there is an east-west national road, crossing a mountain far away from the village.On both sides of this national road is a dense forest, which seems to have been forgotten by the turbulent land development boom.

It is said that in the deepest part of this dense forest, there is a "mythical city"... and only a few magicians know that this castle really exists.

The castle, which only welcomes its owner to join the war once every sixty years, is shrouded in layers of illusion and magical enchantment, which will never be revealed except in extremely rare circumstances.

People who know the existence of this castle call this dense forest "Einzbern Forest".

"It's raining."

Archer sighed, looking away from the window.

"What's the matter, Archer?"

Irisviel cast a concerned look at Archer: "Are you tired? Or is your injury still not healed?"

"No, Irisviel...Thank you very much."

Archer replied awkwardly, took a cup of hot tea from Irisviel, took a sip, and added: "Also, I told Irisviel. Just leave the housework to me."

"You and Kiritsugu are already tired enough fighting outside. I'm not as helpful as Maiya. It would be nice if I could provide you with support in the rear. I'm already content to have heroic spirits who accept Kiritsugu's ideas. .”

Irisviel just shook her head with a gentle smile, and Archer became even more awkward when she saw this.

He faltered and replied: "Ah... After all, it is a contract, no matter what the order is, I will still listen to it... I'd better go find the Master..."

The next moment, the red Heroic Spirit disappeared from the chair, and Irisviel couldn't help but shook his head amusedly.

Although this Archer doesn't look too young, he still feels like a child... It's almost like his own child.

Reluctantly putting the black tea that he had only taken a sip on the tray, Irisviel took one last look at the conference room where Kiritsugu and Archer were, and turned to enter the kitchen.

Author's message:

The second more... Master Qi, be virtuous! (chest out)

But the liver hurts every day... (Louch)

Chapter 21 The Awareness You Should Have

"Let's count the Heroic Spirits that played last night, Archer."

On the table in front of Kiritsugu, a map depicting the panorama of Fuyuki City was unfolded.

Kiritsugu sat on the chair, leaned forward slightly, maintained that calm and sharp gaze, moved his gaze slightly to look at the map, and said in a flat voice: "The confirmed enemy is Weber Weir who summoned Rider. Werther, Kenneth Elmeloy Archibald who summoned Saber, Tohsaka Tokiomi who summoned Lancer, and two heroic spirits of unknown masters. Among them, the real name can be deduced to be Iskan Darius and Darius III."

"Wait, didn't Lancer say his real name too?"

Archer, who was sitting across from him, looked puzzled, raised his hand and asked, "That's Karna, the great hero in "The Mahabharata". Is it really okay to just ignore him like this?"

"No, it's not to ignore Lancer, but to be more vigilant about his answer."

Kiritsugu shook his head, and answered Archer in detail: "Tosaka Tokiomi is an outstanding magician, as one of the three royal families, he will definitely make sufficient and complete pre-battle preparations for this Holy Grail War. If Lancer is really Karna, he will definitely be ordered to prepare countermeasures for similar unexpected situations in advance. Therefore, I suspect that Lancer's real identity is not Karna, but someone else. His answer It's just a cover."

"Tohsaka..."

Archer's eyes were complicated, he hesitated to speak: "However, there is still the possibility that Tohsaka Tokiomi forgot to ask?"

"Indeed. But we cannot rely on the enemy's mistakes for our chances of victory, and you must bear that in mind, Archer. Don't lose your temper because of Lancer's unexpected surprise attack."

"alright, I got it."

Archer nodded, and closed his mouth obediently.

"Then, the next question is about Saber's identity. I have a guess."

Confirming that Archer understood this, Kiritsugu continued: "I noticed that he tried his best to avoid turning his back on the enemy. And your arrow, according to common sense, should be prepared to meet it? But Saber's reaction was to move his body Slightly tilted a few degrees... It was this subtle movement that made me doubt his identity."

"Ah... After all, only a small part of the back is the hero's fatal weakness, so that's the one." Archer nodded.

Not only Kiritsugu, Archer himself also has clairvoyance, and saw that scene as well.

Archer nodded and said affirmatively, "Well, Siegfried bathed in dragon's blood. He's the only one."
