"I can transfer these preparatory Command Seals to anyone at my own discretion. For those of you who control the Servants now, you should know the importance and value of these engravings, right?"
Although he was facing almost all the familiars who were responsible for conveying what he heard to his master, Father Rizheng gradually entered the state of preaching and became excited.
"All the Masters will stop all current fighting, and everyone will do their best to destroy Caster first. Also, I will select the person who will destroy Caster and his Master, and give him a Command Spell that was added as a special measure.
If it is done by one person, it will only be given to that person, and if it is done by multiple people, it will be given to everyone who contributes.When it is confirmed that Caster has been eliminated, the Holy Grail War will begin again. "
After putting down his sleeves, Father Rizheng added.
"Then, if you have any questions, ask them here."
Chapter 39 Discord between Master and Servant
There was a commotion in the darkness.The sound of moving the chair, the sound of getting up, and the sound of leaving mixed together, and then gradually disappeared.
Since the notice of supervision has been fully understood, there is no point in staying here any longer.For the current Master, there is nothing to ask. Everyone is busy preparing for a new competition.
Ereshkigal also turned into a spirit son and disappeared here. Once he finished speaking, there was no need for him to stay.
In the church that had finally returned to a truly deserted state, Father Risei smiled slightly while thinking about the future development.
After all these things are explained—then just wait, the four hungry hounds will definitely drive Caster to a dead end.
Although the appearance of the target Master and the location of Caster's workshop are already known.It might be more efficient if I tell the other Masters all of this.But doing so may also raise suspicions.So now is not the time to release the information obtained through Assassin to the public.
How long will Caster be able to persist? For Risei and the others, they don't think the situation will immediately turn into a six-on-one siege. It is difficult for the other Masters to follow the supervisor's instructions and simply target Caster. action.Because to them, Caster's hunting battle was just a small episode.Their real goal is to be able to win in the subsequent melee.
Everyone is eager for more Command Seals.But if the enemy also obtains the same thing as yourself, then you have no advantage at all.
So for these Masters, rather than cooperating with others to obtain Command Seals, it is better to kill Caster's exclusive advantage alone.Although the former is a much simpler method.Moreover, they may hinder each other in order to compete.
If this is the case, it will be troublesome.If they hinder each other like this, it may be detrimental to Gilgamesh's actions.
Assassin, who was almost forgotten by them, had a panoramic view of all Master's movements.Kirei's job was indeed beautiful.As a magus who has learned magic for a few days, being able to use such a superb method to control his Servant, this is something that even Tokiomi, his teacher, could not have imagined.
For his own belief, for the creed of the church, and for the agreement with his deceased friend, this confident child did his best to display his talents.This is an achievement not even his father has achieved.
But the only thing I'm worried about is Rin and Sakura's Servant. Rin's Servant is a god, and its strength is probably not inferior to the King of Heroes Gilgamesh, and Sakura's Servant doesn't know what it has to do with the King of Heroes. To have the same Noble Phantasm as Gilgamesh.

Einzbern Castle
The dull air made Alice Viel sigh several times.
"Are you tired, Ellie?"
Kiritsugu's question made Kuro, Ilyasviel, and Illya all cast worried glances at Irisviel.By the way, Tianyang himself is not here, and he is not interested in their meeting.
Irisviel hid her melancholy expression, smiled and shook her head.
"It's nothing, I'm not tired. Go ahead."
Alice urged Kiritsugu.Kiritsugu went on to tell various information about Fuyuki City.On the table in front of Kiritsugu was a map depicting the entire Fuyuki City.
There are two places that are the center of the whole territory.One is Tohsaka's mansion.Needless to say, everyone knows the other one, that is Yuanzang Mountain.All the spiritual veins in the surrounding area are gathered on Yuanzang Mountain.The detailed situation is as described by Chief Ahad
The servants came to the castle before Irisviel and the others, prepared everything for the venue, and then left.Therefore, the venue for the meeting appears to be impeccable.Immaculate from table bases to teacups and vibrant flowers in vases.It is completely unimaginable that no one has lived here for 60 years.
Saying you're not tired would be a lie.However, Irisviel rested on the bed for a while.But Kiritsugu didn't rest for a moment.It was almost noon when Kiritsugu and his assistant Hisau Maiya arrived at the castle.But as soon as they arrived at the castle, they received a summons from Fuyuki Church, operating familiars, confirming notices from supervisors, etc. Kiritsugu was busy with various chores non-stop.Last night, after the Battle of Warehouse Street, Kiritsugu and others attacked Master Kenneth in Diarmuid, and even Maiya encountered Kotomine Kirei.Another pitched battle ensued.But Kiritsugu didn't show any haggardness, so Irisviel has no reason to complain about being tired.
No, Irisviel sighed for something else.
"Set up a powerful barrier based on Liudong Temple on the top of Enzang Mountain. In this way, except for Servants, other natural creatures can only enter the barrier through the mountain road. Eri, when you summon Saber, you must Be careful."
If you want to remind Arturia to pay attention, you can just say it directly to Artoria.But Kiritsugu still didn't look at the girl in men's clothing standing behind Irisviel.
There are two reasons that make the air heavy.One is that Artoria showed a resolute rejection attitude towards Kiritsugu.Arturia's attitude is not unique now, but has become more obvious after arriving at Einzbern Castle.
"And, besides these two places, there are two other important places where the leylines are concentrated in the new capital. One is the Fuyuki Church on the southern hill. The other is the new residential area east of the urban area. All in all, There are four locations in Fuyuki City that are capable of carrying out Holy Grail seance."
"In that case, in order to face Caster more securely, shouldn't it be better to defeat Lancer first?"
But facing Alice's continuous questioning, Kiritsugu shook his head.
"After Caster appears, there's no need for us to confront him head-on. You just need to make the most of your geographical advantage so that Saber can escape and disturb the enemy's line of sight."
Irisviel was taken aback.And after hearing Kiritsugu's words, Artoria was already dumbfounded with anger.
"Aren't you going to fight Caster?"
"All the other Masters have already targeted Caster. We don't need to take action, someone else will deal with Caster. There is no need for us to do anything extra."
"For those Masters whose eyes are bloodshot after chasing Caster, Caster is a big piece of fat. Caster locked his eyes on Saber. As long as Caster makes any movement, there will definitely be one or two Masters chasing Caster." Once we stepped into this forest, we attacked those Masters from the side. The Masters who were engrossed in chasing Caster would never have imagined that they would change from the role of hunter to the role of prey."
I see, it really deserves to be Kiritsugu's tactic.In Kiritsugu's eyes, neither human ethics nor the pride of being a magician.He is just a hunting tool derived from the formula of the jungle.
Originally, Kiritsugu did not intend to come to this castle.Irisviel finally understood Kiritsugu's intention why he suddenly changed his course and joined him.
"Master, how despicable do you want to be?!"
Artoria scolded loudly, and Irisviel also felt a dull pain in her heart.Artoria's indignation now.It was different from last night when Iskandar taunted him and Caster spoke out, and in a sense it was a more intense kind of anger.
"Master, you are insulting the heroic spirit."
"I participated in this war to prevent blood from flowing into rivers. Fight for the Holy Grail, don't shed blood needlessly, and minimize sacrifices. One person replaces thousands of troops and bears the mission of fate. Here is the competition That's what our Servants should do."
"Why didn't you entrust me with the responsibility of participating in the battle? It was the same when you attacked Lancer's Master last night. One wrong step led to a tragedy. I have made an appointment with Lancer to fight again! You don't have to resort to such despicable means or Speaking of Master, do you not trust me as a Servant?"
Kiritsugu didn't answer.He has maintained a cold silence, as if Arturia's fierce words were just innocuous words.Irisviel was disgusted by Kiritsugu's indifferent expression that seemed to be wearing a mask.
That man was not the husband she knew.
She did know that Emiya Kiritsugu had dual personalities.She noticed that Kiritsugu poured all his affection into his wife and daughter on the one hand.On the other hand, the scars of the past are still hidden in the heart.Alice also knew what kind of life Kiritsugu lived before joining the Einzbern family.But is this the decisive factor that caused the estrangement between the two of them?
and.What prompted Alice to realize this was the woman in black who attended the meeting.That woman kept silent the entire time, silently entrusting everything about herself to Kiritsugu.That woman was another reason for Irisviel's melancholy.
This is not the first time seeing Maiya Hisau.I met Hisau Maiya a few times in Einzbern Castle.During Kiritsugu's nine years of retirement, Hisau Maiya was in charge of all Kiritsugu's affairs outside.
A woman who acted together with Kiritsugu before meeting Irisviel.During this meeting, there was no doubt about Kiritsugu's remarks, and he remained calm and silent.Perhaps for Maiya, the current Kiritsugu is the Emiya Kiritsugu she knows.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted into Irisviel's nose.It was the smell of tobacco.When Alice met Kiritsugu for the first time.The smell of tobacco lingered on his body.Alice remembered being disgusted by the smell.
After marrying Kiritsugu, he hadn't smelled this smell for a long time, and now Kiritsugu smelled like tobacco again.Maybe this is the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield.
The current Kiritsugu has undoubtedly returned to the Kiritsugu nine years ago.At that time, Ahad took Kiritsugu in in order to obtain the Holy Grail.Kiritsugu was like a ruthless hound.
And Irisviel at that time was nothing more than a puppet guarding the Holy Grail.While recalling Kiritsugu's past, Irisviel seemed to be reviewing her own past.It seemed that the nine years that the two of them had lived together no longer existed.Irisviel began to feel restless in her heart.
Right now, the closest person to this man Emiya Kiritsugu is not himself as a wife.It was Hisu Maiya.
Irisviel didn't reveal all her thoughts.Instead asked a completely unrelated question:
"How should we respond to the new rules of war proposed by the Overseer? Didn't he ask us to enter a truce with all enemies except Caster?"
"Don't bother with that new rule. The Overseer just offered compensation for enforcing the new rule. There are no penalties for violating the new rule. If the Overseer really wants to trouble us, we'll just pretend we don't know about the rule. gone."
With a completely different attitude towards Artoria, Kiritsugu answered Irisviel's questions one by one.
"And the supervisor of this war always finds it unconvincing. He pretended to be ignorant and hid Assassin's Master. Maybe he was with Tohsaka. Before he knew his details, he Just be skeptical of him for now."
Saber was trembling with anger, and Irisviel had a thousand threads in her heart.For a moment, both of them fell into silence.Kiritsugu regarded such silence as a signal to end the meeting.
"Then let's end the meeting here. Irisviel and I stayed in the castle to prepare for Caster's attack. Maiya returned to the city to collect information. Report to me if there is any change."
"As ordered."
Maiya nodded without hesitation, stood up, and left the conference room.After getting up later, Kiritsugu collected the maps and materials on the table and left the conference room.Kiritsugu didn't even look at Artoria until the end.
Artoria, who was completely ignored by Kiritsugu, bit her lips angrily, staring at the carpet under her feet.Alice Viel stayed in the meeting room with Artoria.At this moment, Irisviel didn't know what words to use to comfort the angry Artoria.
No, Artoria, the knight king with high self-esteem, would not expect others to comfort her with innocuous words.For Artoria now, what must be done is to fundamentally solve the current predicament.Thinking of this, Irisviel put her hand on Artoria's shoulder to show her gratitude, then immediately followed Kiritsugu and left the conference room.
Kiritsugu's overly deliberate ignorance of Artoria wasn't just because the two of them didn't agree.If it wasn't for Kiritsugu's extreme disgust or resentment towards Artoria, he would not have been able to make such a move of ignoring Artoria.Anyway, Kiritsugu went too far this time.No matter how different the combat policies of the two people are.After all, they are comrades-in-arms fighting for the same goal.Although you don't have to respect each other.But you can't insult each other.
Blackie remained silent from the beginning to the end, she knew that no matter what she said, it might not be useful, and Emiya Kiritsugu's plan was indeed good, as for Ilyasviel and Ilya's eyebrows, they seemed to feel the atmosphere of the scene Heavy, the two have also remained silent, saying nothing.
Chapter 40 Tianyang's Comfort
At night, the cold moonlight penetrated through the atmosphere and shot directly into the Einzbern Castle. Artoria looked up at the high starry sky alone with a sad expression on her face.
"Hey, King of Knights, isn't it too lonely to watch the moon here alone?"
Suddenly, a voice full of laughter sounded behind Artoria.
"SA-VER! Why are you here!?" Arturia, who was completely immersed in her own world, was awakened by this sudden voice. The heroic spirit appeared here at some point, and stood right behind him.
"Hey, hey! Anyway, I also named Tianyang, so can't you call me Tianyang?"
The corner of Tianyang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly.
"Stop rambling, I'm not in the mood to argue with you here now!"
Artoria was clearly in a bad mood, and was currently frowning deeply at Tianyang.
"Although we have formed an alliance now, this is the Holy Grail War, and there can only be one winner, so we may become enemies at any time. You are too leisurely like this."
Hearing this, Tian Yang just shrugged his shoulders, "Don't forget, I'm not interested in the Holy Grail at all. You didn't know my purpose a long time ago. I just came here because I was worried about fighting Illya and the others. Here's an alliance with you."
Arturia still frowned deeply, saying that Tianyang had no interest in the Holy Grail, Ye Ye did not believe Artoria at all, knowing that the Holy Grail only summons existences with wishes, does Tianyang just want to be with the King of Heroes? World War I?Arturia doesn't believe it, at least she won't believe it now.
However, Tianyang's behavior is indeed very similar to what he said, because Tianyang has only had conflicts with the hero king from the beginning to the end, and has been provoking that hero king. He has not shown any other heroic spirits. Show no interest.
Although it might be the opponent's strategy, Arturia still won't trust the opponent easily.
"What on earth are you thinking? SA-VER? So far, you haven't acted with your Master, so aren't you afraid that something will happen to your Master?" Artoria couldn't help asking.
"Don't forget that goddess, Ai Lei is still very trustworthy. Besides, my Master is with her sister now, and her sister will never harm her sister." Tianyang said with a faint smile.
"Aren't you afraid that her sister will let your Master order you to commit suicide?" Arturia asked back.
"I'm very resistant to Command Seals. Besides, I still have so many treasures. At most, I can cut off the contract with the Master. I also have this kind of treasures. I don't worry about the three Command Seals at all."
Tianyang said lightly, besides, with Ai Lei watching, Tohsaka Rin will not mess around, besides, Sakura is very dependent on herself, just now I just planned to leave for a while, let Tohsaka Rin accompany, Sakura There are some who refuse.
As long as Tohsaka Rin is not stupid, she will not give such an order.
"Besides, I believe Sakura, that child would not do such a thing, even if her sister told her to do it."
Hearing this, Artoria couldn't help showing a hint of envy on her face.
"You and your Master are really good, not like me...Really, didn't the Holy Grail choose the best one with the Master? Why can't my Master and I get along so well?" Arturia couldn't help feeling agitated.
Isn't there a good saying, same-sex repels each other... Tian Yang couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.
