My name is Lin Hao.

Black Saber and the Great Emperor were tied.

Saber Alter is a kind of "assumption" that King Arthur would use force and power to rule Britain. Such an assumption will ferment in the hearts of all people who know the legend of King Arthur, and will eventually manifest itself.

After twelve battles, conquering the whole territory by force, resisting barbarian invasions, and expeditions to France and Rome, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have achieved great fame. When something like the Holy Grail appeared and tried to get the knights to find it, It was cut in half by King Arthur's sword.

However, in the Camelot she ruled, Artoria could not give orders at will according to her own preferences. Any government or military order with greater influence must be reviewed by a "round table review". Among the thirteen participants Among the Knights of the Round Table, at least seven knights are required to support it, and Merlin's approval is required before the order can be carried out.

This fact, after she was summoned as Saber Alter, was realized as an additional condition of the Noble Phantasm. If there is no round table review, the power of the Noble Phantasm will be maintained at the level supported by the seven knights. If she To use the Noble Phantasm to attack the master, harm ordinary people, conduct sneak attacks and other behaviors that do not conform to the basic values ​​of chivalry, the lethality will drop sharply with the number of knights who no longer support her.

However, if there is a chance to use the time-consuming round table review, and when the number of knights who support her reaches ten or thirteen, not only the power of the treasure will be greatly improved, but her various attributes will also increase in an all-round way.

As a result, Saber Alter was still able to fight back and forth with Iskandar's heroic army after sending out a [Sword of Oath and Victory] that was enough to penetrate the inherent barrier.

【Humble King's Hammer】!

The black wind blew when Artoria swung her sword, and several Macedonian spearmen on the path of her attack were instantly blown away by the surging magic power. The periphery reappears.

If the heroic spirit of the King's Army dies in battle outside the barrier, they will return here and cannot go out again for a period of time, but if they fight inside the barrier, they can even teleport themselves over a short distance in addition to resurrecting at their chosen location—but this This anti-army effect is meaningless to Saber who is already surrounded.

It is unbelievable to say that a single person can fight against tens of thousands of troops, but in fact, if one can fight against ten, it is enough. After all, even if surrounded by groups, there are only a dozen people who can attack the besieged at the same time. It is enough for the besiegers to attack in the order in which they arrive, to block and parry at a minimum, and then to make their attacks interfere with each other, and to counterattack appropriately to make some attackers start to defend.

Relying on the improved physical fitness due to the large number of round table review approvals, and the excellent performance of the inherent skill [Intuition] in the melee, Artoria not only showed no signs of defeat during the period when she was surrounded by the Macedonian army , on the contrary, the more she fought, the braver she became, and the unlucky heroic soldiers flew up a large piece with the treasure stunt she used from time to time.

"That's enough—" Rider, who had been standing on the ox cart and didn't participate in the battle, looked at the spearmen who were flying to his cart, baring their teeth and trying to get up, and suddenly raised the short sword in his hand and shouted loudly : "All of them! Retreat!"

The non-ranked heroic spirits drew back their spears immediately and retreated in a uniform order, as if they were not participating in the battle at all and were just training. However, Saber, who was not able to catch up, continued to throw a humble king's hammer to knock one of them down before stopping the sword in his hand. .

Step, step, step, Iskandar urged the wheel of Shenwei to step into the center of the battlefield, facing Saber far away.

"Why, a battle between generals?" The black-armored female knight raised her long sword vigilantly towards him.

"I still disapprove of your kingship,

And I don't think I will lose to you." Iskandar showed a confident smile to Saber, "If there is a chance, I will have a dignified duel with you, instead of being disturbed by trivial matters like now. "

trivia? Before Saber Alter expressed his doubts, the endless desert and the army of heroic spirits disappeared like the moisture on the window was wiped away, and the surrounding environment also changed back to the mountain road where the two sides clashed.

"According to my kid Master's detection magic, there seems to be something wrong with his teacher. As the leader of the faction, I have to deal with it." Iskandar turned the bullock cart and put his collar into the driver's seat despite Weber's protest. seat, and then drove the bull of the sky into the air.

Saber Alter stared at the direction where the King of Conquerors was leaving for a moment with the golden vertical pupils like a giant dragon, before turning to Emiya Kiritsugu and his wife.

When attacked by the heroic spirits of the Kenneth camp, Saber Lily’s sense of loss of power to drive the treasure has not disappeared because of killing Berserker, and she is not Luna’s opponent at all, and even the sword in the stone was almost hit several times In the end, Irisviel took out Avalon and barely blocked the attack after activating the absolute defense.

However, Avalon is "that" King Arthur's treasure after all. No matter how much Lily may become "her" in the future, she is still not "her". Therefore, the result of reluctantly using this holy relic is physical strength and magic power. The plan to recover some strength during the complete defense has also come to naught, and they can only wait for rescue within the defense maintenance time.

Therefore, after seeing Ilya, the always reliable daughter from the future, appear, Irisviel was relieved and at the same time lifted her absolute defense.

However, this is obviously not her first battle. When Illya turned around to deal with the silver heroic spirit, Irisviel only felt a chill in her heart - a large piece of dazzling red was coming from the back of the sky clothes It spread to the whole dress, as if she was seriously injured, but she didn't feel it.

The Cloak of Heaven is the crystallization of thousands of years of alchemy in the Einzbern family. It is similar to a magic circuit plugged in, which can provide the wearer with a huge increase in magic power - Alice Feil only knows so much about it, after all This time the war patriarch did not give this dress to himself, and judging from Illya's behavior of changing into the sky dress when she encountered a slightly formal occasion, it should have become a kind of long-term liberation for her daughter. treasure.

This dress, which is infinitely close to the third method, cannot be broken by conventional attacks, unless she encounters an attack from the source like Kiritsugu's "origin bomb".

Moreover, as a ritual attire, the Celestial Clothes has a self-cleaning function. If the wearer's injured blood is not cleaned up but starts to spread normally, it can only mean one thing - its authority is not enough.

Illya has never been injured since the start of the war, and this fact was not discovered until now. Irisviel recalled with some sadness that Illya's abnormal magic power overflowed at that time. Obviously, it was not without reason that she would pretend to be the Holy Maiden of Winter Yes—in the future of becoming a Heroic Spirit, for some reason, she sacrificed herself to the root just like the Winter Maiden.

"Kiritsugu, what happened to Caster just now?" After finally reuniting with her husband, the worried Irisviel asked him directly. After all, judging from the direction she was walking, it was obvious that she passed by Kiritsugu.

"Black Saber and Rider were fighting in the intrinsic barrier, her Noble Phantasm was too powerful and penetrated the intrinsic barrier, and Caster appeared and absorbed it."

No, not absorption, Caster transferred it to another battlefield through the portal and defeated the costumed heroic spirit that appeared unexpectedly, Alice Viel thought.

"Also, Assassin pretended to be Lin Hao and stabbed me. There was a toxin on it that interfered with the operation of magic power." Kiritsugu seemed to be a little unhappy at his mistake, and said in a stiff tone, "Not only was he transferred by Caster."

"Is that so..." Irisviel lowered her voice.

In this way, the reason why Illya overflowed with magic power and froze herself from time to time was also answered—the operation of magic power was disturbed.

This also solved a long-standing doubt - with Ilya's ability, the patients around Fuyuki General Hospital can be easily cured, but why should those diseases be transferred to Lin Hao?

Because their "transfer" does not perform damage reduction in advance.

Kiritsugu was stabbed, which may be a slight injury to a human being, but if the same damage is to be caused to a heroic spirit, then it can only be a Noble Phantasm attack that exceeds its protective ability.

As for the diseases of ordinary people, in order to have a similar effect on heroic spirits, they must use at least a large magic equivalent to dozens of verses of chanting, and the power of caster-class anti-magic power will be even more terrifying.

"The stronghold by the river is temporarily unavailable." Kiritsugu threw away the cigarette butt, looked at Irisviel and said, "Let's go to the 'Sea House' attached to the castle annex to deal with the next decisive battle."

Irisviel is still very clear about Kiritsugu's behavior style all the time, he will never prepare only one stronghold, after accepting the commission of the Holy Grail War, there are more than ten temporary strongholds just for investigation in Fuyuki's room , even though Einzbern was attacked last time, and he didn't find anything abnormal when he went to hide in the Sea House, but this just proved the concealment of Kiritsugu's arrangement.

"Hmm... good." Irisviel nodded. No matter how accurate her guess was about her daughter's information, it was something that Illya knew a long time ago. What she needs to do now is not to add more information to her. trouble.

On the other side, although they didn't deal with each other, they would mock each other when they met, but when Saber Alter saw Saber Lily, who was seriously out of strength, he just raised his eyebrows, and walked over to help her sit in the off-road vehicle.

Speaking of which, besides the magic power from her own body, Lily now needs to add extra magic power, but with the current conditions, it is impossible to make the Japanese food she likes, and the conditions at the House of the Sea are... huh?

"No, I don't want to eat your junk food..."

The voice of Saber Lily came from the back seat of the off-road vehicle.

"...Mmm! Mmmmmmm!"
