Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Red Fortress

Except for those who were instigated and disobedient, the other four servants gathered in the central hall. Semiramis, the Assassin, sat high on the throne, and Amakusa Shiro stood beside him.

"Huh... not ready yet?"

Achilles was lying casually on the floor, yawning continuously... Because they were afraid that he would cause trouble, they kept him under house arrest here, and now he was almost going crazy from boredom.

"The preparations are basically complete. Now we just need to wait for everyone to arrive..."

"Ah! This is like hell, like you in the dark night! I think you are so beautiful, like you are blooming with light!"

A man dressed in medieval clothes walked forward, speaking in an excited manner and making meaningless remarks, and then he bowed gentlemanly to Semiramis on the throne.

"..."

The empress was originally resting her head on her hands and looking at the people below leisurely, but when this person appeared, her elegance could not be suppressed.

Semiramis was speechless or something, but she answered helplessly:

"Can I understand that you are complimenting me?"

"Of course! The Queen of Assyria!"

"…Caster, don't forget that this is the Holy Grail War, not your theater."

"That's right! Countless heroes in history descended on the same era, and the constant battle for the Holy Grail that could fulfill all wishes was truly an extremely exciting drama! We will definitely watch it carefully..."

"..."

Amakusa and the Empress were sweating profusely, and they looked down at Caster Shakespeare who was spinning around excitedly...

Perhaps this is the difference between normal people and great writers... because normal people are too normal.

"No... Are you saying you're not going to take action?"

"Yes."

Caster put his hands together, showing a rare bit of embarrassment:

"In fact, we find magic and fighting very difficult. After all, every perfect person in this world will always be endowed with some imperfections!"

"..."

Okay, another slacker, it’s useless to fight him, just surrender.

"Well... Anyway, we have been preparing for this long, and it is time to go on the expedition... After all, this is a rare Holy Grail War, so we have to make a grand appearance, right?"

Achilles asked doubtfully:

"Eh? What about this castle you worked so hard to build? I thought you were planning to defend the city..."

Hearing this, Semiramis smiled confidently, just waiting for you to ask this!

"If you think so, then you are wrong from the beginning, because it is not meant for defense..."

"Next... let's make a grand entrance!"

"【Vanity Sky Courtyard】!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground around him began to shake violently. Before anyone could understand what was happening, they could only see the scenery outside constantly descending...

I quickly ran to the railing and looked out. My eyes widened instantly. They... flew up? And with the castle!

"Hey, hey... this is too much, why does Assassin have such a treasure!?"

"Is this... the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon?"

The empress looked at the shocked expressions of those bumpkins with pride. After all, no one would dislike someone showing off.

The huge aerial fortress just appeared in the sky and flew towards the black side's base camp. This open and aboveboard action did not care at all whether it was daytime or not.

……

"what!"

"Clap clap clap..."

"It hurts so much..."

"If you know it hurts, why do you still want to help that android!"

Ah Fu's hands were pinned down, and the master in front of him was mercilessly whipping him with a small whip. Although he did make a mistake, the small spikes on the whip really hurt...

After settling the android last night, he came back and confessed his crime. Although Gold was ultimately blamed, he was still arrested by the Grand Public Security Bureau and educated.

Oh...it's so hard to be a good person these days.

On the other side, Danic and the Grand Duke stood on the castle's observation tower. There was no sign of the enemy in the distant sky, but they had already foreseen the coming of the war.

"I didn't expect the other side to launch such a massive attack this time. That aerial fortress is indeed a bit tricky."

"…Has Assassin arrived?"

"Are you looking for me?"

Vlad glanced behind him and saw Shinji gradually emerging from hiding, with a leisurely look on his face...

"From the current intelligence, I can see that Rider Chiron can handle it. I will personally deal with Lancer over there, but we lack the means to deal with that aerial fortress..."

He was not dissatisfied with the other party's eavesdropping, but just calmly explained the current battle situation. At this moment, the Grand Duke was quite respectful to Shinji.

"No problem. I'll take care of the flying house. You just need to focus on the battle on the ground... I'll let you see for a bit the power of God!"

"In that case, let's wait and see."

Vlad smiled. Those whose strength cannot keep up with their tone are called arrogant, but those who are truly capable will be taken seriously no matter what they say.

However, Danik was not as magnanimous as the other party. He had other thoughts in mind. He would only feel difficult to deal with such a person who lacked intelligence, was powerful, and acted on his own...

Shinji glanced at Danic and shook his head indifferently. Anyway, he had no intention of following the plan honestly.

After showing up, he left immediately. He had his own plans...

After returning to the room, he deployed a teleportation array and took Liudao Lingxia out of the castle and came to a hotel.

Pushing the door open, there was the Red Team’s Saber Mordred, the Red Team’s Archer Atalanta, the “fair” Ruler Jeanne d’Arc… plus him as the Black Team’s Assassin.

The third-party forces have officially arrived!

Ta Miao sat there dignifiedly drinking tea. After officially surrendering to the enemy last night, she was forced to go through the popular magic replenishment session. Now her body was filled with a large amount of magic power and she looked very good.

But the ornament on the neck was still lying there quietly.

When Jeanne saw this thing, her face turned red, and she was secretly shocked at the other party's openness...

Suddenly, Ta Miao's hand stopped drinking tea, and he instantly opened his five claws to scratch at Xiao Mo behind him, but the other party blocked it with his armor in time:

"Phew! That was a close call..."

Shinji looked over in confusion, only to see Ta-Meow looking at Xiao-Mo with a gloomy expression:

"You are so rude! I guess I need to doubt your upbringing!"

"Tsk, I just touched the tail, I was just curious..."

Xiao Mo was wearing her cool hot girl outfit and scratched the back of her head helplessly. She didn't expect the other party to react so strongly.

"..."

What a naughty kid! I never thought that the reason why the Knight King's reputation was damaged would happen right in front of me...

Shinji's eyes drifted to the swaying cat tail of Ta-Meow. It seemed to be quite sensitive... He pinched it once and it clamped tightly in an instant...

"Speaking of which, when are we going to go on stage? It should be getting bigger over there soon, right?"

"Well, the godfather contacted me not long ago. I guess the whole army is dispatched this time."

Lion Jie opened a bottle of red wine for himself and tasted it. It seemed that he had given up and let them do whatever they wanted.

"There is no rush for this. If you want to join the battle, go ahead. I will notify you when the action is ready."

"Let me confirm again, I don't need to take the initiative to attack, right?"

"My lovely Miss Jeanne, we will certainly need your strength. I will steal the Holy Grail secretly, and someone else will come to take it next. You just need to follow me and guard the Holy Grail well."

"I see... I understand. I will never let them take the Holy Grail away from me!"

Shinji was quite satisfied looking at the saint who had been fooled by him. Next was the opening ceremony... but he must not accidentally end the Holy Grail War...
