Chapter 56: Prelude to the Night of the End

Although there was a slight accident, the original plan seemed to be unable to be implemented, and even lost a lot of kill rewards, but strictly speaking, Xia Ran still controlled the overall situation of the Holy Grail War-

It can be said that he had already won the night he had acquired Saber before, and the reason why he did not immediately checkmate the enemy on the opposite side was just to take care of the overall situation.

To put it bluntly, I hope to make as many proper preparations as possible when I have already determined that I will win. After all, he may come back in the future, and in his concept, Fuyuki City is already his territory, of course, he must be careful to maintain and properly manage.

Now it is no exception, his previous idea was to count one on the premise of not making too much noise as much as possible, solve the enemy, and by the way, brush up equipment skills, points crystallization or something.

But now, since Gilgamesh seems to be prepared and says that he will end the farce of the Holy Grail War tonight, Xia Ran also generously agrees to this matter.

- Isn't it just to give Gilgamesh a death? What's so difficult, since that guy wants to die tonight, Xia Ran won't stop him, he is often very generous in this regard.

Anyway, after Rider is also out, there are only two enemies left for him to deal with, or simply only one, and that is the guy Gilgamesh, as long as that guy is killed, then the Holy Grail War is over.

"The bridge was not destroyed, and as far as the traces of the fight at the scene are concerned, it should be left by the bombing of that guy's Noble Phantasm...... But such an attack will not be able to take out Rider in a short period of time. ”

On the Dongmu Bridge, Xia Ran quickly checked the scene and confirmed that there had indeed been a brief battle here, but there were traces of destruction left behind......

Some people may believe that it is said that the terrorists are fighting here, but it is difficult to believe that there is a heroic spirit who fought to the death here and used an EX-level super-sized treasure.

However, Xia Ran knew what the nature of the treasure of the conquering king was, so he determined that it was indeed the "King's Army" that unfolded the inherent enchantment, and then was broken from the inside by the obedient sword, and the world egg formed by the heart like a landscape was broken from the inside-

It is precisely because the entire battle takes place within the inherent barrier formed by the Treasure Phantasm of the Conquest King, that the corresponding environment in the real world has not been too seriously damaged.

Lancer's breath was heading that way, and it seemed that there was someone else with him, and from the traces along the way, he could tell that he was a little embarrassed...... And the aura of the mongrel king is leaving from this side. ”

Glancing at the snowflakes that did not get bigger, but did not have any decreasing tendencies, Xia Ran turned around and looked at the worried knight girl on the side, gave her opinion, and then asked the other party's opinion:

"What do you think we should do now? Do you find Lancer first for information, or track down the mongrel king...... In fact, among the techniques that Caster left on Alice Phil, there is a part about location tracking, but I can only locate it if I go back and find her, because it is not my magic, and I have no way to track it directly. ”

"Let's find Archer first!"

Saber didn't hesitate for a second on this choice, just said categorically, and made a quick and decisive decision.

Although based on the traces and clues Xia Ran found in his examination, as well as her own conjecture that she also quite agreed with, Lancer was able to get out of the battle at a dangerous moment, and it seems that she also escorted someone to retreat.

But the problem is that the King of Conquest has always had a Webber by his side, and if he falls in love with Alice Field, they are two ordinary people - although they are both magicians, but they do not reach the horror level of the new Master in front of her.

That is, to the extent that you can wrestle with the Servant and beat the latter to death.

In this case, then the two of them are naturally ordinary people in front of the Servant, and Lancer may be able to protect one person from leaving with the help of the King of Conquest, but it is absolutely impossible to escort two people away at the same time, so there must be one person who can't leave.

So Saber still thinks about the worst-case scenario, if Alice Phil doesn't fall into the hands of Gilgamesh, then it will naturally be the best outcome, but if Gilgamesh does capture Alice Phil, she will definitely not be able to hesitate at this time.

Of course, this is not the worst outcome, the worst result is that Alice Phil may have ......

However, Saber refused to think about this possibility, she subconsciously glanced at the dark sea under the bridge, as if it was a bottomless abyss, and she didn't know what kind of terrible and indescribable unknown horror lurked underneath.

Although this is a battlefield and nothing else can be found around, if the body had fallen into the icy waters under the bridge......

The thought of this possibility made Artoria's heart twitch.

"Don't think about it, Alice Phil must be fine now......" Xia Ran seemed to see what she was thinking, and once again scanned the entire Fuyuki City through the whisper of aura, confirming Gilgamesh's current location before saying this to Saber.

"Really?" As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Artoria's eyes lit up.

"Really."

"Wait, how do you know that?" Saber's mind is very quick, and he is not the kind of person who can be coaxed by others to say two words of comfort, and decisively do further questioning.

In this matter, she did not want the slightest ambiguity and ambiguity.

"This ......" Xia Ran was a little embarrassed.

"And because of the secret of Alice Phil's body?" Saber was immediately angry and anxious, and immediately thought of this matter, "Master, I don't understand what kind of secret that is, is it so important?" Need to keep it secret at this time? ”

"It's already at this time, in fact, there is no need to keep it secret......" Xia Ran shook his head and spread his hands directly, "It's just that I just determined the position of the mongrel king, are you sure you want to listen to me slowly explain this matter to you at this time?" ”

Saber was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that he had lost his sense of proportion. As soon as she gritted her teeth, she immediately made a decision: "Rush over first, and then talk about it on the road." ”

"Then come up......" Xia Ran calmly stretched out his hands, as if he was about to catch something.

Seeing his movements, Saber gritted her teeth again, her face was slightly red but she didn't say anything, now it is naturally the principle of speed first, who told her that there is no way to be spiritualized, and there is no way to endure the speed of that car at this time.

Although it has been strengthened by various magic tricks, the kinetic energy of that car is very surging, and the speed is very wild, as a means of transportation, she was very satisfied with it before, but at this critical time, she was not satisfied.

No matter how strong the enhancement magic is, there is a limit, and it can't reach the level of the treasure, whether it is basic performance or special effects.

If nothing else, the car could not fly at all, and still had to follow the road, not be able to fly over the city, and take the shortest straight line distance between two points...... At this time, it was naturally decisively given up by Artoria.

There's nothing to worry about, didn't you just rush over at the fastest speed? It's a pity that this time I appeared, I was at Saber's rank instead of Rider's rank......

The knight girl admonished herself as she forced herself to walk over briskly.

……

……

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu had already come to the vicinity of the Fuyuki Civic Hall.

Tonight's plan was a complete failure, Lancer only brought back the unconscious Webb, not Alice Phil, and even Rider was under the golden shooter's hole card and just exited.

Although Archer's rank is characterized by the strength of the Noble Phantasm, but it is so strong that it really makes people wonder if there is something wrong with this world, the endless Noble Phantasm, and the "sword" that cuts through the inherent barrier...... The opening is so outrageous that it really makes people wonder if the goods are the illegitimate children of the Creator.

When Emiya Kiritsugu heard the news, he was naturally very disappointed, but he was also very calm, probably because he had expected it a long time ago, right?

Because even on the night before, he made a decisive choice to do it against Kenneth and succeeded, allowing him to regain the qualification to continue participating in the Holy Grail War, so that he would not be eliminated on the spot...... But it's just a qualification.

Probably from the state of confirming the failure of elimination, I have won the possibility that if you are lucky, there is still a 1 percent chance of turning defeat into victory...... Well, a conservative estimate should be one percent, after all, no one knows how to fight against the hell camp of Liudong Temple.

Even if the remaining three Servants joined forces, they had no chance of winning, let alone Gilgamesh, a-stirring stick.

So although Emiya Kiritsugu is still unwilling to give up, he already knows that he just doesn't want to admit it, as if a drowning person is just grasping at the last straw.

However, the last straw can only crush the camel, but it will not save the drowning man.

During this period of time, Emiya Kiritsugu was actually mentally prepared to lose everything, so he was able to accept it so calmly. In retrospect, he had lived a life that was not lonely, and it was also a life that was more cruel than loneliness, and there was always someone by Kiritsugu's side.

And the cause of the killing or death of this "someone" was none other than Emiya Kiritsugu himself, who killed those people with his own hands, or he knew that those people would be sacrificed, but in order to realize his ideals, he decided to push them to destruction.

The same is true of Alice Fair, who is destined to be separated from the day they met, and this must be his destiny......

The man coldly stopped on the snow-covered street, looked at the huge building in front of him, and then looked at the position beside him: "Next, I'll leave it to you." ”

In the empty air, Lancer's figure suddenly appeared, his face ugly, gloomy as if it could drip water:

"I'll try to hold Archer back, and I hope you'll keep your promise."

"Of course I'll keep my promise, as long as you do your best, no matter what the outcome, I'll let Kenneth go......" Emiya Kiritsugu was expressionless, "but if you play any tricks, Maiya will shoot those two people into a sieve as soon as possible." ”
