Lancer's words shocked everyone present. This was no different from swearing loyalty! Although the chances of him encountering them again after returning to the Heroic Spirit Palace were not high, it was not impossible. If he really encountered them, Luo Yuchen would have profited greatly.
"Lancer, have you thought it through?" Do I really have to be loyal to this lunatic?”Although the hairy king had changed his opinion of Luo Yuchen, his general view of him remained the same. She couldn't help but question Lancer's actions. She was very optimistic about Lancer, the heroic spirit who carried out the path of a knight. It was such a pity that such a person would say such words and submit to a lunatic.
"Saber, as a knight, you have to follow the knight's rules. Since I've said it, I'll definitely do it." Moreover, after this, he did not know if he would be able to meet her again in the Heroic Spirit Palace. It was still unknown if there was any hope of meeting her again.”Lancer stood up and told the hairy king his decision firmly.
Seeing how determined Lancer was, the stupid king had nothing else to say. She could only shake her head helplessly. In her opinion, Lancer choosing to follow Luo Yuchen was no different from throwing a bright pearl into the dark. He would lose all his glory from then on.
Luo Yuchen helped Lancer up. "Dilumudo, wait for me in the Hall of Heroes. I'll definitely find you, haha.”
Lancer smiled as well. "Ah, I will wait for your return.”
" Wahahahaha, this is really something to celebrate.”Iskandarll took two glasses of wine and gave one to Xia Le, another to Lancer, and another for himself. "Since the two of you are so congenial, let me congratulate you with this glass of wine.”
"Of course, let us drink this cup together.”As he spoke, Luo Yuchen raised his wine glass.
"Oh ~" Lancer and Iskandarll raised their wine glasses in cooperation. Kinpika smiled and did not raise his glass, but he also drank the wine in his glass. The stupid king also raised his own glass to congratulate Lancer.
"Hmm?" After finishing the wine in his cup, Luo Yuchen suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was a little off. It wasn't just him. The others also felt that someone else had come to attend this banquet, and it wasn't just one person.
However, what made their expressions change in the next second was not her anger.
A moment later, Alispher and Wilbur also noticed the strange air around them. Although he couldn't see it, he could feel a very dense killing intent on his skin.
A strange white object appeared in the courtyard illuminated by the moonlight. One after another, pale faces appeared in the courtyard like flowers blooming. The paleness was the color of the cold and dry bones.
A skeleton mask and a black robe. The empty courtyard was gradually surrounded by this strange group.
Assassin……
Rider and Wilbur weren't the only ones who knew they were still alive. Saber and Alisfel also learned about this from their conversation with Qiesi on the warehouse street.
Assassin wasn't the only one who was killed in the Far Ban Residence. The truth was that there were many Assassins who had participated in the Holy Grail War, but the number was abnormally high. They all wore masks and black robes, and their physiques were different. There were tall men, thin men, short men like children, and women.
"You did this, didn't you? Archer。”
Archer shrugged innocently.
"Who knows? I don't have to understand what those bastards are thinking.”
Since so many Assassins had been mobilized, it was definitely not Yan Fengqili's order alone. This was probably the intention of his teacher, Tokiomi.
Because Shi Chen had treated the Hero King with the courtesy of a subject, Archer had acknowledged him as a Master. And Shi Chen's actions made Archer even more dissatisfied with him.
Although this banquet was hosted by the Heroic Spirit King, the one who provided the wine was Archer. What was Shi Chen trying to do by sending assassins at such a banquet? This was equivalent to smearing the Hero King's face. Did he know that?
"Well…it's a mess."
Seeing the enemy approaching, Wilbur let out a miserable sigh. It was incomprehensible. This had completely exceeded the rules of the Holy Grail War.
"What happened? Why are Assassins coming one after another…Isn't there only one Servant for each class?!”
The Assassins laughed evilly when they saw their prey in such a sorry state.
"You're right. We are Servants who regard the whole as an individual, and the individual is only a shadow of the whole.”
Wilbur and Alisfell couldn't understand. The Assassin that Yan Fengqi summoned was actually such a special existence.
"Old Man of the Mountain"-- Among the people with the terrifying name of Sabha, only one had the ability to transform his body.
Unlike the other Hasans, he did not modify his body. Perhaps it could be said that there was no need for this, because although his body was mediocre, his spirit could allow his body to freely transform.
He could have excellent strategies, be proficient in foreign languages, identify poisons, or set traps. In short, he was an all-purpose assassin who could automatically switch abilities according to the needs of the mission. It was said that sometimes he could even display strange strength and agility that his original body could not have, using the long-forgotten Illusion Martial Arts.
He could disguise himself as any man, woman, old or young. Standing beside you very naturally. Sometimes, he could even change his personality according to the situation, so that no one could expose his true identity.
But no one knew the truth. Although Hassan had a single body, he had different souls.
According to the knowledge at that time, there was no such thing as multiple personality disorder. In modern medicine, this phenomenon was defined as mental illness. To the assassin, Hassan. However, Sabha was a mysterious " ability." He could use all kinds of knowledge and techniques through the cohabitation in his body, confuse the enemy through different means, weave a defensive net, and kill the target in an unexpected way.
The Assassin summoned by Yan Fengqi was the assassin known as " Hundred Changes ".
He was a Servant who had a physical body but countless souls at the same time. In essence," they " were originally different souls. Because they had lost the restraints of their physical bodies," they " could completely materialize into different appearances in the present world.
Of course, their total spiritual power was only one person. After splitting up, their ability value would definitely not be comparable to the other heroic spirits. However, because they had Assassin's exclusive skills, they were invincible in scouting activities.
"Could it be that…we have been monitored by these guys until today?”
Alisfel muttered in pain, and Saber couldn't help but shiver. Although the other party was not strong enough. However, they were able to sneak in and there were many of them. Even if she was the one with the strongest combat ability among the Servants, she was still a considerable threat.
Furthermore, they, who usually followed their targets like shadows, had abandoned their ability to cut off their auras. Seeing them approach without fear meant…
"They are going to get serious."
Saber had fallen into an unexpected crisis, and he could not help but grit his teeth in hatred.
A mob that relied on numbers. If they attacked from the front, Saber would never lose. However, this was only limited to the situation where Saber was the only one confronting the enemy.
Saber had no choice but to protect Alisfel. No matter how weak the Assassin was, he was still a threat to humanity. Even if it was Ainz Belem's cyborg, Alice Phil, who could use first-class magic, magic alone would not be able to stop Assassin. It was impossible for her to protect herself.
Therefore, if they wanted to protect their companions while fighting, the large number of enemies became a very urgent problem.
Just how many Assassins could Saber stop with one strike? -- No, it wasn't a matter of how many people he could stop. Even if one of them was missing, that person could cause major damage to Elisfell.
Therefore, the question now was not whether he could stop them, but whether he could finish them all in one blow. The number of Assassins surrounding them was so great that it was hopeless.
From the Assassin's perspective, they had a final method.
Even if it was a group battle, it was a group formed by a limited number of people. Sacrificing most of the survivors in exchange for a small number of survivors to win was tantamount to suicide, so this was a trump card that would only be used in the final battle.
Assassin was a Servant summoned for the Holy Grail. They probably couldn't stand being used as a pawn by Shi Chen and Archer, but they couldn't disobey the Command Curse either.
For tonight's operation, Yan Fengqi had used a command spell, ordering them to 'win even at the cost of their lives.' The Command Curse was an absolute command for Servants. In this case, they could only choose to obey the command.
Luo Yuchen didn't mind and smiled. "Conquest King, did you meet these people on the road?”The reason why Luo Yuchen said that was because he could feel the Assassin's aura.
" Oh, I've never seen them before. But since they're here to attend the banquet, let's have a drink."”Iskandar did not care about the aura, instead, he calmly scooped out a small spoonful of wine from the barrel.
" Alright, there's no need to be so polite. Those who are willing to sit down and chat, come and drink this cup together! This wine will be with your blood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Assassin's flying knife knocked the wine in Iskandar's hand to the ground.
As I said, this wine is with your blood.
The enraged Iskandarll stood up from his seat. His nondescript modern clothes instantly disappeared, replaced by the magical equipment that was meant to fight on the battlefield!
"Knight King, Hero King, and Heroic Spirit King! This was the last question of this banquet! Ask yourself, is it true that the king is aloof?”
Jinpika only smiled as he replied, completely ignoring the situation on the field and drinking his own wine.
Luo Yuchen shook his head with a bitter smile. How could he not understand? This question was meant for the stupid king. However, he had already given the stupid king a hint, but she probably still didn't understand. It was fine if she didn't understand. This kind of stupid king was cuter.
Braving the strong wind created by magic power, the hairy king replied," If you want to be king, you have to be proud!”
"No, you don't understand at all." Iskandar said calmly to the countless Assassins. "I have to show you the true style of a king right here and now!”
In an instant, the inherent enchantment that belonged only to the Conqueror King, Iskandar, opened up and enveloped everyone present!
This was a golden desert, a barren desert. Not a single blade of grass grew, and there was not a single trace of life! Countless Assassins stood in front of Iskandar in panic. They did not understand why they had suddenly appeared here when they were still in the castle.
" This is the land that my army once marched on. This is the scenery that the brave warriors who shared the joys and sorrows of the king branded in their hearts!”Following Iskandar's words, the sound of an army moving forward could be heard. Everyone looked up. It was the King's Army formed by countless heroic spirits! Among them, there was no lack of famous generals, brave men who could fight against tens of thousands of people, and strategists who were outstanding. However, at this moment, under the summoning of the Conqueror King Iskandar, this army that had almost conquered the entire world had once again appeared before the eyes of the world!
"Look, that's my unparalleled army!" Even without Routi, the legendary warriors who had transformed their spirits into heroic spirits were still loyal to me! The bond with them is my true treasure, the King's Army!”
Iskandarll turned around and shouted at his army," A king is someone who is happier than everyone else, who lives more brilliantly than everyone else, and who makes everyone fall for him!”
[Yes, yes, yes!]”Tens of thousands of soldiers in the army roared at the same time!
" The one who gathers the admiration of thousands of brave men and stands tall like a road sign can be king! Therefore, the king is not alone!"
The battlefield I conjured was a plain. It seemed that our side had the advantage.
Scatter! Follow This King! Trample him!"
Following Iskandar's order, the 10,000-man army charged towards the Assassin army, while the Assatians, who had started the fight, had long lost their will to fight and fled.
However, could he dodge the attack of the Great Emperor's army? This matter had already been denied in the original novel…
" Chi…chi…" One javelin after another pierced through the bodies of the Assassins. The galloping warhorses crushed Assassins 'corpses into dust. After a long time, the battlefield dispersed as if nothing had happened…
After Wilbur got into the chariot with unsteady steps, Iskandar glanced at Saber one last time and said in a sincere tone,"
"Little girl, you should wake up from your painful dream. Otherwise, one day, you will even lose the most basic self-esteem of a hero. The so-called 'king' you speak of is just a curse you cast on yourself.”
"No, I-"
Ignoring Saber's final retort, the tank flew into the sky, flashing with electricity. In the end, only the sound of thunder could be heard as the chariot disappeared into the eastern sky.
“……”
It was natural for Rider to feel humiliated when he refused to listen to Saber's words. However, what Saber couldn't let go of was an unexplainable " anxiety."
There was no benevolence, no ideals, only a tyrant who promoted violence to satisfy his selfish desires. But even so... There was also a group of loyal officials who were willing to form an eternal bond with him.
This went against the Knight King's principles, and she could not accept this belief.
However, Saber could not just forget Iskandar's words as a joke. He wanted him to take back his words, as it was these words that made Saber brood over them.
"You don't have to worry about it. Saber, you just have to stick to the path you believe in.”
The one who interrupted her was Archer, who had been mocking her. Saber replied coldly.
"You were mocking me just now, and now you want to flatter me? Archer。”
"Of course, what you said about the King's Path is absolutely correct. This is a huge burden on your weak body.
This distress, this entanglement…It really made one want to go up and comfort her.”
He had a proper appearance and a deep voice, but his expression and tone still hid infinite evil and lewdness.
As long as this Golden Servant was in front of her, Saber wouldn't be confused at all. He wasn't like Rider, who could communicate through words. Archer was just an unforgivable enemy.
"You can continue to play the role of a clown according to your so-called righteous path. I like it very much. Saber, make me so happy. Maybe I'll give you the Holy Grail as a reward?”
The white jade wine glass shattered in Archer's hand.
"Rider is gone, the banquet is over. Archer, leave immediately or draw your sword.”
Although he couldn't see it, Saber's sword was still emitting a strong pressure. Archer's expression remained the same even after his cup was smashed. It was unknown if it was because of his courage or his stupidity. It could only be one of them.
"Aiya, aiya, do you know how many countries have been destroyed for this cup? -- Forget it, there's no point in punishing you. Getting angry over a clown will damage the king's reputation.”
"Shut up. I will only give you one warning---next time, I will cut you mercilessly.”
Archer didn't mind Saber's scolding at all. He smiled and stood up.
"Work hard, Knight King. Sometimes, I think you're quite cute.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Archer turned into a spirit and disappeared. Without the golden light, the courtyard seemed to have woken up from a dream. Only emptiness remained.
" Knight King, you shouldn't deny yourself. Lancelot and the others also said that you will always be their greatest king. Believe in your own Dao. Every king's Way of the King is unique. Mingxin insists on his own Dao. Even if he knows that it won't work, he still has to do it. Although your Dao isn't the Way of the King…"
" A king…in the end, there are only two paths of tyranny and benevolence, and you are not one of them. Altoria, I will wait for the day you are defeated by me."”
"Luo Yuchen also disappeared."”
"Do you believe in your own way?" Thank you, Heroic Spirit King, but I still want to get the Holy Grail. Saber's eyes regained clarity.
