I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"Irisviel!"

Saber ignored her own entanglements, ignored her debate with Rider, and rushed to the side of her acting master.

Irisviel raised her head with difficulty and spoke intermittently.

"There are...new intruders...the monsters summoned by Caster...surrounding us from behind, with more than 500 in number!"

"What? Caster?"

Weber and Shinji jumped up at the same time.

The former pulled Rider's arm hard and shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, hurry up and attack him."

The latter looked at the back door of the castle with a ghostly expression.

"Isn't this guy crazy? Well, he is indeed crazy, but he shouldn't be blind. There are four servants here, is it possible that this guy wants to fight against four?"

The servants and masters present would not know it even if they broke their heads. Caster was just unwilling to accept last night's failure and was preparing to make a comeback. For this reason, he specifically chose this time where he would not be disturbed. Unexpectedly -

Don’t think about it, I didn’t kill you due to interference from various things before, but I will definitely kill you this time.

"Miss Irisviel, can you confirm Caster's location? Let's kill Caster together, and the additional command spells will be divided equally."

"No." Irisviel, who recovered from the magic feedback, activated the "clairvoyance" magic. "He did not enter the barrier. I can't find his location."

"More cautious than before!" Saber gritted her teeth.

Scathach, the only one who never belittled Saber's royal principles and wishes, put down his glass and stood up.

"Saber, Archer, Rider, you continue, I will clean up. Master, will you come with me?"

"No problem." Shenji's expression was very relaxed, as if he didn't take Caster's summons seriously at all.

In fact, he did not take this group of soldiers seriously. He killed more than 200 monsters with his own hands in two nights, not to mention that Scathach was by his side now.

As for the castle, he really has nothing to worry about. Firstly, he can trust the pride of the three kings. Secondly, he has left an eye here, and now she is secretly watching here from the corridor on the third floor of the castle.

"That's not necessary."

Just as the two were about to leave, Rider suddenly said.

"The Master of Saber also said just now that Caster's monsters are scattered and surrounded. It is too inefficient to defeat them one by one. It is better to wait for them to gather here and destroy them all at once."

"Don't make decisions on your own, King of Conquerors." Archer narrowed his scarlet eyes and snorted coldly, "Do you want these bastards who are worse than bastards to soil the banquet? Or do you want them to soil this king? Noble Phantasm.”

"None of them." Rider smiled and shook his head, "Well, you can tell just by looking at it. I will make them stop under the city wall. Master of Saber, is there any way for us to see the movements of the monster troops?"

"Yes." Irisviel walked into the castle again, this time her goal was the crystal ball.

The Einzbern family's barrier is indeed of a very high level. The "clairvoyance" magic that comes with it can not only enable long-distance vision, but also allow you to observe every move in the barrier from multiple perspectives - excluding the parts that have been destroyed by Rider and Archer. Fortunately, no evil aura of monsters was detected in this area.

Looking at the image in the crystal ball, Rider smiled with admiration.

"You actually let a brainless monster set up a military formation. This guy Caster is worthy of being a marshal of a country."

"Don't, don't laugh, they are already approaching." Webber pulled Rider's clothes and whispered.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Rider's expression didn't change at all. He was still concentrating on studying the monster's formation. "There are still 500 meters to go. It's early. Remind me after 50 meters."

…

"It's 50 meters."

"Remind me again after 20 meters."

…

"20 meters, 19 meters, Rider."

In an instant, a whirlwind roared up.

The wind was so hot and dry that it seemed to burn everything.

This wind does not belong in the night forest or in the castle courtyard.

The wind came from the scorching desert and roared in my ears.

Weber felt the slightly stinging gravel on his tongue and quickly spit several times.

The saliva was mixed with sand and dust, and the strange wind brought hot sand that could not possibly exist here.

"Saber, Archer and Assassin, this is the last question of this banquet - is the king aloof?"

Standing in the center of the swirling hot wind, Rider asked.

The bright red cloak fluttered on his shoulders, and at some point the dress of the conquering king had changed into the original posture of the servant's battle robe.

Archer twitched the corner of his mouth, sneered, and replied wordlessly, there was no need to even ask about such a thing.

Scathach also did not speak. The temperament exuding from her body said everything - there is no living person in the Kingdom of Shadows now. As the only master and the only alien there, how could she not be aloof?

Saber did not hesitate. Her royal way and the years she had spent as a king had given her the truest answer.

"The king... is naturally aloof."

Rider laughed heartily after hearing the three people's answers. The swirling hot wind seemed to be echoing his laughter, becoming more violent.

"No! You really don't understand anything! Today, I will let you see what the true kingly style is."

The abnormal hot wind finally began to subvert and erode reality.

In this impossible vision, distance and location lose their meaning, gradually transforming into a place where a dry wind with hot sand should blow.

"How...how is it possible...!"

The surprised sounds came from people like Waver and Irisviel who understood what magic was.

"This is... an inherent barrier!?"

The hot sun scorches the earth. The view is vast, all the way to the horizon covered by violent sand and dust, to the cloudless sky.

The scene that instantly transformed from the city of Einzbern at night was obviously a phantom that eroded reality, and it was exactly that extreme magic that was considered a miracle.

"How is it possible... to make the mental landscape materialize... You are obviously not a magician."

"Of course not. I, the king, cannot do this alone."

Standing proudly in the vast barrier, Iskandar's face was filled with a proud smile, denying Weber's doubts.

"This is the land where my king's armies have galloped in the past. It is a scene that is deeply engraved in the hearts of the warriors who have shared weal and woe with my king."

As the world changes, even the positional relationships of the people involved change.

The monsters, which were originally numerous and surrounded half the castle, turned into a group and were driven to the other side of the wilderness. With Rider in the middle, Saber, Archer, Assassin and the three magicians were moved to the other side.

In other words, Rider faced hundreds of monsters alone.

No, is Rider really alone now?

Everyone stared with wide eyes at the shadows that appeared around him like a mirage.

There was not only one shadow, but two or four shadows. The hazy horseback figures multiplied on one side, looking like an army, and the colors gradually became clearer.

"This world can come back because he is imprinted on each of our hearts."

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the cavalry turned into entities one by one beside Iskandar. Although the races and equipment are different, their bodies are strong, and their bright armors are decorated with extraordinary heroism, all of which show the strength of the army.

Only Weber and Shinji can deeply understand the true nature of these extraordinary phenomena.

"These people...every one of them is a servant..."

Only Masters who have completed a formal contract are qualified to have clairvoyance that can see through and judge the spiritual status of their Servants. Only they know the true face of Iskandar's true ace, the ultimate Noble Phantasm.

"Look, this is my king's unparalleled military strength in the world!"

At this time, the conquering king raised his arms and boasted loudly about the cavalry in a row with great pride.

"Even if their bodies are destroyed, their souls will be summoned by the world in the form of 'heroic spirits'. They are the legendary warriors loyal to me. They respond to my call and come beyond time and space. They are my eternal friends. With them The bond between them is my king’s greatest treasure! My king’s royal way! My king Iskandar’s most powerful treasure, the ‘King’s Military Power’ (Ionian Hetairoi).”

EX level anti-army Noble Phantasm, independent servants can be summoned continuously.

There was the war god Antigonus, there was Porus the Maharaja, there was the governor of Iskandar, there was Leonardo who was the governor of Hellespont-Phrygia, and there was Ptolemy who was the governor of Libya and Arabia. , of course, not to mention the first close minister, Iskandar's most trusted Hephaestion, and the founding monarchs of subsequent dynasties. There are as many legends as there are heroes gathered here, and each one is a unique heroic spirit.

All of them had a distinguished reputation as warriors who had fought with the great Alexander the Great.

The only horse that was not ridden walked up to Rider. It was a particularly strong and brave horse that could be called a giant beast. Although it is not a human body, it is no less powerful than other heroic spirits.

"Long time no see, mate."

Rider showed an innocent smile like a child and hugged the giant horse's neck tightly with both hands.

It was the legendary horse Bucephalus who was later revered and deified. Under the command of the Conquering King, even the horses have been upgraded to heroic spirits.

Everyone was surprised and speechless. Facing this magnificent army, even Archer, who also possesses an EX-level Super Noble Phantasm, no longer laughs at them.

The King of Conquerors took the undying loyalty of everyone after death and turned it into a physical entity, transforming it into an extraordinary Noble Phantasm.

Saber's whole body was shaking, and it wasn't because she was afraid of the power of Rider's Noble Phantasm. Because this Noble Phantasm itself has shaken the foundation of her honor as the King of Knights.

No distractions and strong support——

The emotional bond between him and his ministers was so deep that it even reached the realm of Noble Phantasms————

As an ideal king, there is something the King of Knights cannot obtain until the end of his life...

"The king - he must live more vividly than anyone else - and be admired more than anyone else!"

Rider climbed onto Bucephalas and shouted loudly.

The neatly arrayed heroes echoed his words, banging their shields and cheering in unison.

"The person who gathers the wishes of all brave men and becomes their example is the king. So——"

Filled with overwhelming confidence and honor, the Conquering King looked down upon everything around him.

"The king is not aloof, because his wishes are the wishes of all his subjects!"

"Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!"

The chorus of shouts from the heroic spirits shook the earth and soared into the sky. No matter how powerful the army is and how thick the city walls are, they are no match for the Conqueror King's comrades. Their passionate battles were enough to break the heavens and seas.

Not to mention a bunch of monsters that don't belong to this world.

"Okay, let's start, monsters - ravage!"

Rider's orders echoed all around, both ruthless and decisive. Then---

“AAAALaLaLaLaLaie!!”

A deafening sound of rushing and killing followed. This is no longer a battle, it doesn't even feel like a sweep, this is just pure ravage.

Wherever the king's army passed, the monsters summoned by Caster were wiped out, leaving only a burst of flying dust mixed with the smell of blood, drifting in the hot wind.

"--Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"

Cries of victory rang out. The heroic spirits who completed their mission dedicated their glorious victory to the king, praised the king's majesty, and at the same time returned to spirit bodies again and disappeared into the other side of time and space.

As the heroic spirits disappeared, the inherent barrier maintained by their magic power was also lifted. The whole scenery seemed to be like a dream bubble, and once again returned to the forest at night and the courtyard of Einzbern City.

PS: I won’t write about it in the future, so I’ll mention it first. The main purpose of the emperor releasing the royal army was to show Saber his royal ways and to correct Saber's royal ways and desires that he considered very sad. This was explained in the novel and the animation, so he used this millstone to grind mustard seeds. , the way a cannon kills mosquitoes - whether it's against monsters or monsters.

PS2: The traitor must admit that this scene was deliberately arranged by the traitor, because this scene cannot be omitted no matter what. Without it, it would not be the fourth battle. The traitor also started to appreciate the emperor in this game, although I did not draw the emperor in "Fategrandorder".

PS3: Shenji did not choose Weber as the protagonist this time, also because he did not want to deprive the emperor of the opportunity to appear - everyone knows that Macedonia is still quite serious about homosexuality. If Weber is chosen, the book will develop in a strange direction. .

PS4: If the traitor remembers correctly, there seems to be a statement in the fifth volume of the El-Meloy II Incident Book, saying whether Weber's acting style is like Ptolemy or Seleucus.
