Chapter 300 Prelude to the Night of the End

Although there was a little accident, the original plan seemed impossible to implement, and even lost a lot of killing rewards, but strictly speaking, Xia Ran still controlled the overall situation of the Holy Grail War——

It can be said that as early as the night when he got Saber, he had already won. The reason why he didn't checkmate the enemy immediately was just to keep the overall situation in mind.

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 might come back in the future, and in his mind, Fuyuki City was already his territory, so of course it had to be carefully maintained and properly managed.

It was no exception now. His previous idea was to deal with the enemies one by one without making too much noise as much as possible. By the way, he would brush up equipment skills, crystallization points and so on.

But now, since Gilgamesh seemed to be prepared to say that he would end the farce of the Holy Grail War tonight, Xia Ran also graciously agreed to it.

——Isn’t it the death of Gilgamesh?What's the problem? Since that guy wants to lead him to death tonight, Xia Ran will not stop him. He is often very generous in this regard.

Anyway, after Rider is also eliminated, there are only two enemies left for him to deal with, or to put it simply, there is only one left, that guy Gilgamesh, as long as he kills that guy, the Holy Grail War will end up.

"The bridge was not destroyed. Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, it should be left by the bombing of that guy's Noble Phantasm group... But such an attack will not be able to kill Rider in a short time."

On the Fuyuki Bridge, Xia Ran quickly inspected the scene and confirmed that there was indeed a brief battle here, but the damage left behind...

Some people may believe that terrorists exchanged fire here, but it is hard to believe that there are heroic spirits who fought a desperate battle here and used an EX-level super-spec Noble Phantasm.

However, Xia Ran knew the nature of the Noble Phantasm of the Conqueror King, so he concluded that the "Army of the King" had indeed launched the inherent barrier, and then the world egg formed by the heart-like landscape was broken from the inside by the Deviation Sword——

It is precisely because the entire battle took place within the inherent barrier formed by the King of Conquerors' Noble Phantasm, that the corresponding environment in the real world was not too seriously damaged.

"Lancer's aura is going that way, and it feels like he's carrying someone with him. Judging from the traces along the way, he's in a bit of a panic... and the bastard king's aura is leaving from this side."

Glancing at the snowflakes that didn't get bigger, but didn't have any decreasing trend, Xia Ran turned around and looked at the worried knight girl beside her, gave her own opinion, and then asked the other party's opinion:

"What do you think we should do now? Find Lancer first to inquire about information, or track down the bastard king... In fact, among the spells left by Caster on Irisviel, there is a part about location tracking, but the only way to find it is to go back and find it." She was able to locate it because it wasn't my magic trick and I couldn't track it directly."

"Let's find Archer first!"

On this choice, Saber didn't hesitate for a second, and said so decisively, making a quick and decisive decision.

Although according to the traces and clues obtained by Xia Ran's inspection, and the speculative conclusion that she also agrees with, Lancer was able to escape from the battle at a critical moment, and seemed to have escorted someone to retreat together.

But the problem is that the King of Conquerors always has a Weber with him, and with Irisviel's words, they are two ordinary people—although they are both magicians, they are not as terrifying as the new Master in front of her.

That is to say, the level where he could wrestle with a Servant and beat the latter to death.

That being the case, the two of them are naturally considered ordinary people in front of the Servant. Lancer may be able to protect one person to leave with the help of the King of Conquerors, but it is absolutely impossible to escort two people away at the same time, so there must be one person who cannot leave of.

Therefore, Saber still considers the worst situation. If Irisviel does not fall into the hands of Gilgamesh, then naturally it is the best result, but if it is indeed Gilgamesh who captured Irisviel. If so, she absolutely cannot hesitate at this time.

Of course, this is actually not the worst outcome. The worst outcome is that Irisviel may have...

It's just that Saber refused to think about this possibility. She glanced subconsciously and saw the pitch-black sea under the bridge, as if it were a bottomless abyss. The unspeakable horror of the unknown.

Although this is a battlefield, there is nothing else to be found around, but if the body fell into the icy sea water under the bridge...

Thinking of this possibility, Artoria's heart twitched.

"Stop thinking about it, Irisviel is definitely fine now..." Xia Ran seemed to see what she was thinking, and scanned the entire Fuyuki City again through the whisper of spiritual energy, confirmed Gilgamesh's current location, and then He just said that to Saber.

"Really?" Arturia's eyes lit up as if grasping at straws.

"real."

"Wait, how did you confirm that?" Saber's thinking was very quick, and she wasn't the kind of person who could be coaxed away by just a few words of comfort, and she decisively made further inquiries.

In this matter, she was unwilling to have the slightest ambiguity and ambiguity.

"This..." Xia Ran felt a little troubled.

"Is it because of the secret of Irisviel's body again?" Saber was immediately annoyed and anxious, and immediately thought of this matter, "Master, I don't know what kind of secret it is, is it so important? To what extent? At this time, it needs to be kept secret?"

"It's already at this time, and there is no need to keep it secret anymore..." Xia Ran shook her head and spread her hands, "It's just that I just confirmed the position of the bastard king, are you sure you want to listen to me at this time? Do you explain this?"

Saber was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that she had lost her sense of proportion.As soon as she gritted her teeth, she immediately made a decision: "Rush there first, we'll talk on the way."

"Then come up..." Xia Ran stretched out her hands calmly, as if preparing to catch something.

Seeing his movements, Saber gritted her teeth again, blushed but didn't say anything. Naturally, speed is paramount now, and every second counts. No one told her that she couldn't transform into a spirit body, and she couldn't endure that car at this time. speed.

Although it has been strengthened by various magics, the car's kinetic energy is very surging and its speed is very wild. She was very satisfied with it as a means of transportation before, but at this critical moment, she was dissatisfied in various ways.

No matter how enhanced magic is, there is a limit, and it cannot reach the level of a treasure, whether it is basic performance or special effects.

Not to mention anything else, that car can't fly at all, and it still has to go along the road instead of flying over the city, and walk the shortest straight line distance between two points... At this time, it was naturally taken by Al Toria decisively gave up.

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

While admonishing herself like this, the knight girl forced herself to calm down and walked over quickly.

……

……

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu had already arrived near the Fuyuki Civic Hall.

This evening's plan completely failed. Lancer only brought back the unconscious Weber, but not Irisviel. Moreover, even Rider was under the card of the golden shooter and left the stage directly.

Although the characteristic of Archer's class is that the Noble Phantasm is powerful, but it is so outrageously strong that it really makes people wonder if something is wrong with this world, the endless Noble Phantasm, and the inherent enchantment The "sword"... is so outrageously open, it really makes people wonder if that guy is the illegitimate child of the Creator.

Emiya Kiritsugu was naturally very disappointed when he heard the news, but he was also very calm, probably he had already expected it?

Because even on the night before, he decisively chose to attack 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 was just the qualification.

Probably, from the state of confirming the failure of the elimination, there is still a [-]% chance to turn defeat into victory if you are lucky... Well, a conservative estimate should be [-]%, after all, no one knows what the face will be. How to fight against the hell camp in Liudong Temple.

Even if the remaining three Servants join forces, there is no chance of winning, let alone Gilgamesh, a shit-stirring stick.

Therefore, even though Emiya Kiritsugu was still unwilling to give up, he already knew it well, he just didn't want to admit it, like a drowning person clinging to the last straw.

However, the last straw can always only crush the camel, but not the drowning person.

During this period of time, Emiya Kiritsugu was already mentally prepared to lose everything, so he was able to accept it so calmly.Looking back, he once lived a life that had nothing to do with loneliness, it was also a life that was more cruel than loneliness, someone was always by Kiritsugu's side.

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

The same is true for Irisviel, who was doomed to be separated from the day they met, this must be his destiny...

The man stopped coldly 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 was ugly, so gloomy that it could drip water:

"I will try my best to hold back Archer, and I hope you can keep your promise."

"Of course I will keep my promise. As long as you do your best, no matter what the result is, I will let Kenneth and the others go..." Emiya Kiritsugu remained expressionless, "But if you play any tricks, Maiya will immediately Shoot those two men into a sieve."
