"No, I'm not remorseful, just mourning."
Artoria shook her head and denied the King of Conquerors' speculation, recalling her homeland that had been ravaged by the war, her expression was rather complicated.
"King of Conquerors, the huge empire you built with your own hands fell apart in an instant after you died, right? Don't you feel sad about this?"
Iskandar choked on Artoria's sharp question, but quickly expressed his own point of view and attitude.
"It will be sad, but I will not choose to change anything! History is the inevitable result of many factors. This is a chapter written by me and my ministers, so there is nothing to regret."
"That's right! If in a country, even the king wouldn't feel the pain of her destruction, what would the people under his leadership think?"
Artoria stood up and looked down at Iskandar, refusing to budge in the conflict of ideas of being king.
"However, as a banner leading the country, the nation and the people, the king must set an example instead of turning a blind eye and doing nothing!"
Iskandar, as the overlord who leads the country on the road of foreign conquest and expansion, is very puzzled by the thoughts of Arturia, the king who saves the country from danger.
But before he could continue to refute the question, the old man of the mountain raised his doubts first.
"Do you want to change the established history? King Arthur."
As one of the seven crowns, the Old Man of the Mountain knows that if this wish is really granted to the Holy Grail, there must be another batch of karoshi who need to be restrained to work overtime.
"Do you know what the consequences of this wish will be? That is enough to affect and change the subsequent changes in the entire history of mankind."
The man on the mountain's words made Artoria freeze in place like a slap in the face. Before, she was only focused on how to save the country, and she never thought of other problems.
"Of course! Even if it will cause a series of chain reactions, I will choose to bear all of this. This is the path I choose. As a king, I will lead the people to obtain real peace and happiness."
As a king, the girl didn't think too much about it, and protecting the interests of her own country was her most correct choice.
"The king gives the people the harmony and stability they want, and the people offer their loyalty to support the king. The two are interdependent in this way."
"Therefore, the king must fulfill his duty!"
The man on the mountain didn't express any opinion on Artoria's perception of his domineering way. What he cared about was something more important than this, namely the stability of human history.
"Is that so? It seems that your will is very firm."
Looking at the determination and fearlessness shining in Arturia's piercing holy blue eyes, the man of the mountain understood that he could not persuade her to give up his unrealistic ideas through words.
The old man of the mountain, who was already bored with the banquet, disappeared from his seat without a sound, leaving only a stern warning.
"I hope you will take care of yourself, otherwise, sooner or later, I will follow the destiny and cut off your head!"
Chapter 45 Beginning and Ending
After the banquet on the third night of the Holy Grail War, Fuyuki City spent another two days of calm and calm. Neither the masters nor the servants of all parties took the initiative to take any provocative or offensive actions.
But with the approaching of the sixth day and the approach of the seven-day period, the time to maintain peace is getting less and less, and there will eventually be a fateful battle among the servants.
During the two days when nothing happened, the old man of the mountain supervised Mei Li and diligently taught Sakura Matou about magic, which made Mei Li-chan, who is usually lazy, miserable.
However, the smart Sakura learns very quickly, which makes Mei Li, who is a teacher, feel great satisfaction and comfort.
So in the process of teaching, Meili also brought some of her own private goods from time to time, which came from the top of the rank of surgery, which was definitely the only one in the world.
After a few days of study, Matou Sakura has been able to skillfully use the huge magic power in her body. Of course, she can only use some small spells with little effect, but this also makes the girl very happy.
"Grandpa, grandpa! Look, look!"
The little girl ran up to the old man of the mountain and stood up on tiptoe, with a lively and excited smile on her little face.
She held up a pair of small hands high, and there was a purple butterfly made of magic power slowly flapping its thin wings, which looked lifelike.
"Contractor, you are making great progress, but you can't be proud or lazy because of this, you need to continue to work hard."
The old man of the mountain looked at the purple butterfly flying in the air and praised Matou Sakura, and raised his hand to touch her small head.
The old man of the mountain stroked the girl's soft hair a few times with his palm. Even though he didn't wear gloves, due to his physical condition, his hand was as cold as ice.
The girl let out a crisp laugh of 'giggle', shook her head like a kitten, and lightly rubbed the palm of the mountain man a few times, looking really cute.
"Hey, how could Sakura go to ask for credit as soon as her grades come out? Come on, today's homework is only one-fifth done, and there is an exam tonight."
Mei Li squatted beside Matou Sakura and said with a smile, with a playful smile on her face when she was teaching King Arthur.
Although he looks like a good person, it always makes people feel that he has bad intentions.
The still young Matou Sakura doesn't have the ability to distinguish and see Meili's true nature, but after a few words, she is so fooled that she can't even find Bei.
At this moment, a bell rang in the ear of the Old Man of the Mountain, which made him immediately realize that the final curtain of the Holy Grail War was finally about to fall.
"Okay, Contractor, go and continue your studies with Mei Li, and I will leave here temporarily."
Suddenly, the man on the mountain raised his head and glanced at Mei Li. Although he didn't specifically say what was going on, Mei Li had already predicted it through clairvoyance.
"Leave it to me, if something goes wrong, I will find a way to make up for it."
After receiving Mei Li's assurance, the old man turned into a ray of fire and left the room, and at the same time, a vague voice rang in the ears of Sebas, who was taking care of the property of the Matou family.
"Sebas, I entrust the security of the stronghold to you. Be sure to protect the safety of everyone."
Sebastian put down the document at hand, his whole body tensed up and immediately entered a state of combat readiness, his eyes transformed into golden dragon pupils.
"Don't worry, Lord Man of the Mountain. Sebastian, I won't let you down!"
In the dark night, the old man of the mountain who had entered the stealth mode moved forward like a ghost, his murderous intent and death aura became more and more restrained.
Following the guidance of the bell, the Mountain Man stopped Diarmuid and Iskandar who were heading towards Matou's house on the way, and their masters were also accompanying them.
It seems that after two days of consideration, Weber and Kenneth still decided to declare war on the man of the mountain first, and then confront the alliance of Tohsaka and Einzbern.
This decision was also made with reference to Iskandar's analysis. As the King of Conquerors, he is not comparable to ordinary people in terms of overall situation or strategy and tactics.
After knowing Archer's real name and having seen Archer's inexhaustible treasure house, Iskandar felt that Gilgamesh must have a treasure that could crack his trump card.
Although the abilities displayed by the man on the mountain so far are also very puzzling, but if it is a desperate gamble, Iskandar still puts his treasure on the man on the mountain's inability to deal with the inherent enchantment.
Facing the direction of Iskandar's chariot, the mountain man released his breath and revealed his figure. He stood in the middle of the road as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
Iskandar stopped the divine bull that was pulling the cart and landed on the ground from the sky. He waved to the old man boldly and laughed.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect to meet here by such a coincidence, or did you come out to fight because you sensed our attack?"
And Diarmuid jumped off the chariot with two guns in hand, saluted the old man of the mountain, and then put on a fighting posture.
Facing the heroic King Conqueror and the courteous knight as always, the Old Man of the Mountain pulled out his great sword and giant shield from the ground. The eyes of the skull mask glowed scarlet like blood, and he didn't say a word of nonsense. mean.
"You should listen carefully, the evening bell has revealed your names and taboos to me."
Chapter 46 Scourge of the Undead
The night wind was blowing, blowing the robes of the mountain man and Iskandar's cloak. On the quiet road, there was only the faint chirping of insects from the grass on both sides of the road.
Kenneth set up an enchantment to temporarily cover this section of the road. Fortunately, this place is relatively remote, and it is impossible to attract the attention of ordinary people for a while.
"Old Man of the Mountain, at the banquet that day, you didn't actually say everything about the Holy Grail, did you?"
Iskandar stared at Wang Hassan's face wearing a skull mask. Although his words were interrogative, his tone seemed extremely certain.
"Yes, I did have something to hide."
The Old Man of the Mountain immediately nodded generously and acknowledged the conjecture of the King of Conquerors, and gave the answer Iskandar wanted.
"The Holy Grail is not omnipotent, and the wishes it can fulfill also have their own limitations, that's all."
Iskandar fell silent when he heard the words, put down the reins and touched his chin with his hands, after thinking for a moment, he looked at the old man again, with incomparable seriousness.
"Then if this king wants to obtain a physical body, that is, to live in this world as a real life, can this wish be realized?"
As soon as the King of Conquerors finished speaking, before the Mountain Man could reply, Weber jumped from behind Iskandar to the giant man's back and knocked him on the head a few times.
"Idiot! Isn't your wish to conquer the whole world? Why, how did it become..."
Before Wei Bo could finish his sentence, what responded to him was a familiar brain crash, which knocked him down on the chariot, grinning his teeth in a pained look of grievance.
"Boy, if you want to conquer the world, having a body is the foundation of the foundation."
Iskandar didn't look back at his master, he looked up at the starry night sky, with his arms open as if to embrace the entire universe, with arrogance.
"My wish to conquer King Iskandar will be fulfilled by myself, straighten my spine to face the sky and the earth, and march towards the boundless end! Forward!! Forward again!!!"
"Until I bring the whole world under my command, enjoy the process of conquest, and enjoy the joy of the result! This is the romance that belongs to my conqueror Iskandar! Hahahahahaha——"
The hearty laughter of the king resounded throughout the wilderness. If there were thousands of people listening to his speech at this moment, it must have been a jubilant scene full of people's voices and shouting at each other.
The King of Conquerors, his charisma is like the brightest morning star in the night sky, shining with a brilliance that even the dark clouds cannot cover, leading his subjects to move forward.
Wei Bo looked up at Iskandar's stalwart back in a daze, as if he saw the weight on those broad shoulders.
The weight called the king is called the weight of the country.
The King of Conquerors, who brought prosperity and strength to the people, fought all his life and never stopped his progress.
Diarmuid also seemed to be a little agitated for a while, looking at the King of Conquerors who acted a little silly when they first met, the loyal knight felt yearning for him.
If he could have been born in an era dominated by Iskandar, he would surely pick up his sword and rush to the battlefield at the king's call, even if he died in battle, he would have no regrets.
"Is this your wish? Holy Grail, it can be realized."
The old man of the mountain looked at the passionate Iskandar, nodded slightly in response, but at the same time raised the big sword in his hand and pointed at the opponent, surging out boundless dead energy.
"However, can you face life and death directly and cross my great sword? If you can't, then everything is just a meaningless delusion!"
Facing the murderous King of the Mountain, Iskandar showed a confident smile, the temperament and coercion of the king became more and more concise, and his eyes were burning with a high fighting spirit.
"Well, this king is quite confident."
Huge magic power burst out from the King Conqueror's body like a blowout, turning into a raging wind and spreading around.
The strong wind comparable to a typhoon made Weber firmly grasp the edge of the chariot with his hands so as not to be blown away, and Sola, who was a bit fragile, had to grab Kenneth's arm to barely stabilize his body. .
Out of protection for his fiancée, Kenneth immediately pulled out five test tubes containing mercury from his waist, and used magic to manipulate the moon marrow liquid to form a spherical shape to envelop the two of them.
"If it's just me, it may be a little difficult, but the most powerful force of my conquering king has never been just this king himself!"
With Iskandar's words, the mental image erodes reality, and the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
A dazzling glare flashed across the world, billowing yellow sand covered the world, the scorching sun baked the ground, and the boundless and vast desert appeared in front of everyone.
"Space change replacement, this is, this is a subspecies of magic that has long been listed in the list of forbidden spells by the Magic Association!"
After the storm subsided, Kenneth withdrew the protection of the moon marrow spirit liquid, his emerald green eyes carefully looked at the strange desert world in front of him, and he murmured subconsciously.
"The great magic called 'Inherent Barrier' is the ultimate miracle that can materialize people's mental images and landscapes, and it is the 'magic' closest to 'magic'!"
Weber and Sola could no longer speak. After witnessing such a spectacular scene, any words seemed powerless, unable to describe the shock in their hearts.
"This is the land where my army once galloped, the scenery that will never be forgotten by the warriors who have shared weal and woe with this king!"
"Assemble here! My compatriots!!"
"Because we share a common view and an indestructible bond in our hearts, we can cross the constraints of time and space and meet here again!"
Iskandar is now more active and passionate than ever before, and his hoarse shouts show his overwhelming pride.
"Even though the body will be destroyed, the soul will still be summoned to this world like a heroic spirit, and will still serve the warriors loyal to this king!"
"The indelible friendship with them is the greatest treasure of my conquering king, and the treasure that makes this king most proud - the king's army!"
From the misty smoke and dust at the end of the desert world, there was the sound of neat footsteps and the shaking of the armor.
An army that couldn't see the end slowly showed its mighty and invincible military appearance, and the faces of the soldiers were clearly visible.
The soldiers are dressed in iron armor and helmets, holding swords and shields or spears and throwing spears.
The generals are at the forefront of the ranks, all of them are heroes who were famous thousands of years ago, and it is unknown how many enemies have died under their iron hooves.
"This, is this Rider's trump card?"
Diarmuid shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling that even if he came in the state of sword rank, he might not be the opponent of the King of Conquerors.
Iskandar turned on his horse and stood at the forefront of the army, drew his sword from his waist and pointed it forward.
"The enemy is the king of the mountain with unpredictable strength, even a single person is enough to be our opponent! Warriors, let's show our dominance to the fullest!!"
Following the pace of the Conqueror King's charge, the army behind him also stepped forward with his own steps. Billows of smoke and dust were lifted up, and the ground wailed under the stampede of running.
The speed of the army quickly overtook Iskandar and protected him in the center of the army formation, while Diarmuid took the lead and rushed to the forefront.
Facing the incoming army of thousands of horses alone, the old man of the mountain still stands firmly on the flat desert in front of the army, without any panic or evasion.
"What an admirable king, what a loyalty I admire. This situation makes me miss the time when I ordered the legions under my command to sweep the world."
