Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

They searched not only Chiron and Afu's rooms, but also everyone else's rooms, but they couldn't find Sieg anywhere.

"Damn it! That android got away!"

Avisbro cursed under his breath and was about to rush off to report the matter to Danic.

Just then, several throwing knives suddenly shot out from the shadows, aiming straight for Luo Xie's vital points.

Avisbro quickly used magic to create an earthen wall to block the attack, and warily stood in front of Roger.

"It's Assassin."

Looking at the figures surrounding them, Avisbro said in a deep voice, "Because the barrier was destroyed before, the castle is now undefended, allowing them to sneak in?"

The newcomers were none other than several clones of Hassan the Hundred-Faced.

Although Feng Xi said he wanted Bai Mao Hassan to protect his clones as ammunition, that was just a joke. His order to Bai Mao Hassan was to be flexible and not to sacrifice his clones in vain.

To treat Bai Mausoleum Hassan as an ammunition depot would be a gross insult to him.

So, taking advantage of the chaos of the battle, Hassan the Hundred-Faced sent several clones to infiltrate the vicinity of Yggdrasil Castle to monitor the Black faction's every move.

After seeing Avisbro and Roger enter the castle, they felt their opportunity had arrived.

With no other Servants or Masters in the castle, Roger's group was completely isolated, which presented the best opportunity.

As for Avisbro, his golems are indeed interesting, but they fall short in direct combat.

So the Hundred-Faced Hassans left one clone to continue surveillance, while the rest took the opportunity to infiltrate the castle and assassinate Roger.

Chapter 204 - Retreat in Tandem

Instead of directly confronting Avisbro, the several clones of Hassan with a hundred faces fully utilized the advantages of Assassin to fight him from a distance.

Therefore, Avisbro could only protect Roger as they fled while being beaten, and also ask Danic and the others for help.

Their commotion alerted some of the Thousand World Tree guards inside the castle, but anyone who tried to stop them was quickly dealt with by Hundred-Faced Hassan.

"Pfft!" "Ah!"

Finally, one of Hassan's clones seized the opportunity and threw a knife that struck Roger in the thigh, rendering him unable to escape.

Seeing this, Avisbro could only quickly cast a spell to protect Roger.

He couldn't abandon Roger; after all, if Roger died, he would be out of the game.

Several clones of Hassan with a hundred faces attacked from all sides. Some of them clearly wanted to entangle Avisbro so that the other clones could take the opportunity to deal with Roger.

"Snapped!"

At this critical moment, Finn broke through the window and successfully rescued them.

Facing the legendary Grand Master of the Fiona Knights, Hassan the Hundred Faces was utterly powerless and was killed in no time.

What a pity, he was about to kill Roger.

"That was dangerous..."

Seeing the crisis averted, Roger was still somewhat shaken, while Avisbro remained silent, lost in thought.

"That android has disappeared!"

Danic received a telepathic message from Avisbro and frowned, asking, "Have you searched everywhere?"

"We've already sent people to search the entire castle, but there's still no trace of them."

Avisbro said in a deep voice, "I have reason to suspect that he has already escaped the World Tree."

"Impossible. With his physical condition, he couldn't possibly escape the castle on his own."

Danic muttered, "Is it Rider or Saber? That's impossible. They haven't made any moves these past few days."

Meanwhile, on the grassland a little further away from the Thousand World Tree.

"This should be about right."

A blonde girl with braided hair stopped with a panting Zieg and frowned as she looked at the three sides still fighting.

This girl is Joan of Arc.

"...Thank you."

It took Zig a while to recover before he asked curiously, "But why did you save me? We don't even know each other."

Joan of Arc: "I just had a sudden urge to think that you shouldn't just die there like that."

She wasn't lying; rescuing Zieg was truly a spur-of-the-moment decision she made when she came here to watch the battle.

Although Siegfried, Astolfo, and Chiron protect him, as long as he remains in the Yggdrasil's castle, his life can never be truly guaranteed.

Joan of Arc still hoped that this android, who was filled with a desire for life, could gain his freedom.

Zig: "I don't understand, but thank you anyway."

In the day he spent with Siegfried and his group, he had already learned some basic common sense about life.

"Okay, you should rest for a bit."

Joan of Arc continued to gaze at the battlefield, murmuring, "How will this battle end..."

"Wow, this is so cool!"

On the battlefield, the three emperors had returned and reunited with Feng Xi. Seeing the Light Energy Envoy displaying his divine power, the emperor's eyes lit up.

Having played games for so long, he certainly knew what a mech was.

Feng Xi: "I'll stay behind to cover your retreat. You all leave first."

My King: "As a Servant, how can I let my Master cover our retreat?"

Feng Xi: "Because I have a way to retreat safely, you don't, understand?"

Our King: "..."

"Haha, since you've put it that way, we'll head out now."

The Emperor laughed and said, "When you get back, don't forget to let me play with your mech."

Feng Xi: "Uh, we'll talk about it later."

And so, the Great Emperor drove the Divine Wheel, carrying the King and the other two away, while Feng Xi began to contact the First Emperor.

Feng Xi: "Your Majesty, how are things on your end?"

The First Emperor: "Hmph, these two rebels are quite tenacious, still struggling to hold on despite my troops' encirclement and suppression."

Feng Xi: "Then let them go for now. We need to prepare to retreat."

The First Emperor: "I plan to withdraw like this."

Feng Xi: "We have the Holy Grail in our hands, and now we are the target of everyone's attacks. Dragging this out will only be detrimental to us."

The First Emperor: "Is that so? It's good that you got the goods. If you leave empty-handed, you'll be a disgrace to me."

After saying this, the First Emperor dispelled his inherent protective barrier.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that he had escaped unharmed.

Siegfried, meanwhile, watched the First Emperor warily, trying to guess his intentions.

However, the First Emperor ignored him and retreated directly in spirit form.

"Bang!!!"

Just then, the enormous commotion caused by the Lightbringer finally attracted their attention, and the two of them discovered the existence of the Lightbringer and the Sky Garden.

Afu: "My God! We've only been gone a short time, how come this place has changed so much?"

Siegfried: "It seems Master and the others are in a very bad situation. Let's hurry back and provide support."

Afu: "Please help me, I'm injured right now."

Unlike Siegfried, who was completely unharmed, Astolfo was covered in bruises and wore a comical, weak expression, indicating that he was unable to participate in the fight.

Siegfried had no choice but to tuck Afu under his arm and hurry back to the World Tree Castle.

"Meteor shower!"

Feng Xi once again controlled the Light Energy Envoy to unleash a move, and several more meteors fell onto the sky courtyard.

After being attacked repeatedly, the Sky Garden was starting to crumble and was on the verge of collapse.

"Damn it! The courtyard has been attacked repeatedly and is nearing its limit!"

The Empress gritted her teeth and said, "If we are attacked again, we will probably fall."

"...Let's retreat."

Kotomine Shiro pondered for a moment and said, "We still have a chance to seize the Holy Grail, but the Sky Garden is our trump card, and we absolutely cannot let it be destroyed here."

Empress: "I understand. Prepare to retreat now."

Kotomine Shiro immediately sent a telepathic message to Achilles, instructing him to cover the rear of the Sky Garden.

"Oh dear, it seems today's operation has failed again."

Achilles remarked, "The opponent is far too tenacious."

"It seems we can call a truce."
