FATE: Target of Grand Master

The four people's attention was immediately drawn to Xia Yan's words.

"Excuse me, could you please repeat that?"

Frena, acting as the representative, took the initiative to speak.

"I've thought of a way to fulfill your main quest requirements, but before that, you need to show me your main quest information. I don't want your verbal descriptions, but the complete information in the quest information box."

The four exchanged glances, then each brought up their respective task boxes and turned to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan quickly scanned the list. The main mission for all four was "Defeat the Lostbelt King," just those seven words. However, the side missions were all different. Some were to protect a village from destruction, some were to help the resistance survive to the end, and some were even to assassinate Anastasia.

However, Xia Yan didn't care about their side quests, as long as their main quest wasn't restricted.

"Great, it seems my idea can be realized."

Xia Yan smiled slightly, then stopped keeping him in suspense.

"I have two main quests in this trial. The first is to make Anastasia the Queen of the Lostbelt, which I have already completed. The second is to lead the Russian Lostbelt to defeat the Norse Lostbelt."

Upon hearing this, Craig immediately understood what Xia Yan meant by the method.

"Xia Yan, is the way you're suggesting to fulfill our main quest requirement that we defeat the King of the Lostbelts in Norse mythology?"

Xia Yan nodded: "That's right. Your main quest only requires you to defeat the Lostbelt King, but it doesn't specify which Lostbelt King it is. How about that? It's a way to have the best of both worlds, isn't it?"

The four were silent for a moment, then all expressed their agreement.

"Very well, then, I hope you can assist me in strengthening the combat power of our Russian Lostbelt. First, Craig, I need your Dumas to create pseudo-Noble Phantasms. As for the quantity, how long did it take you to deploy that Yaga unit?"

"About five days."

"There are still 10 days until the war with the Norse Lostbelt, so having Alexandre Dumas create 100 pseudo-Noble Phantasms shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Hmm, no problem, I'll make him do it."

"Very good. If Dumas isn't motivated, you can tell him that after the war with the Norse Lostbelt begins, there should be even more delicious food there, and as for women, there should be adult women there too. However, whether he can seduce a woman depends on his own abilities. Forcing him is not an option."

"Yes, I understand."

"Frenita, you need to put your Edison to use too. I need him to create at least 1000 mechanical soldiers. These mechanical soldiers need to have a certain level of intelligence, capable of operating Dumas's pseudo-noble ware. If necessary, the mechanical soldiers can be fine-tuned according to the characteristics of the pseudo-noble ware. The effect I want is that the pseudo-noble ware will not fall to the ground and become unusable until the number of mechanical soldiers is less than the number of pseudo-noble ware. Can you do that?"

Not only Freya, but all four of them were secretly surprised after hearing Xia Yan's words.

If Craig's previous idea of ​​equipping Yaga with a pseudo-Noble Phantasm was already innovative, then Xia Yan's current requirement is to amplify that point further.

Although Yaga was an enhanced human, he was still slightly inferior to Edison's mechanical soldiers.

In terms of physical strength, Yaga is not necessarily inferior to mechanical soldiers. However, Yaga is still a living being and can experience fear, cowardice, and pain. As a result, it is inevitable that Yaga will suffer losses in combat. Mechanical soldiers, on the other hand, will faithfully carry out orders until they are completely destroyed. In terms of combat efficiency alone, there is no better than mechanical soldiers.

From a macro perspective, in large-scale wars, apart from the generals, the soldiers don't need to think at all; they just need to execute, execute, and keep executing.

"If it's just a quantity of 1000, Edison could definitely make it in 10 days, but if it requires fine-tuning and adaptation, the magic I provide doesn't seem to be enough."

Frena spoke very frankly about her difficulties.

"Don't worry about magic, I'll support you."

Xia Yan's casual remark once again made Freya realize the gap between herself and him.

Don't worry about what magic power is; it's the magic power of 1000 mechanical soldiers. But thinking back, the other side has Morgan, and it seems that they even managed to get that great witch to use her Noble Phantasm earlier. Without enough magic power, they really couldn't have done that.

All I can say is that the Master in front of me has completely surpassed my expectations of the Master's strength in the Master Trial.

"Okay, no problem."

"Finally, there's Craig, Cecilia, and Villeneuve. The three of you need to train two Yaga units in these 10 days. One unit will use melee weapons, and the other will use ranged weapons. I'll have Morgan provide these weapons, so it won't require Edison's attention. All you need to do is have Sigurd and Billy the Kid, who are skilled in melee and ranged combat, provide guidance."

These Yaga troops are not the main force for attacking the Norse Lostbelt; their role is primarily to protect the Russian Lostbelt. Later, I will have Anastasia broadcast nationwide, and these Yaga will understand that the only way to survive is through combat. As for the number of troops, 300 melee fighters and 200 ranged fighters—train at least 500 Yaga troops. Any questions?

All three answered that there was no problem.

"Very well. In 10 days, I will return the Servants you have been holding captive here to you. At that time, you will join me as the main force in the attack on the Norse Lostbelt. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant until the very end. Don't try to take advantage of the chaos to gain more benefits, otherwise I am not without the ability to deal with you while dealing with Scáthach Skadi."

This time, Xia Yan was prepared to completely lift the restrictions on the four people, but at the same time, he had to warn them in advance to prevent them from having any inappropriate thoughts after seeing the situation becoming more and more favorable.

The four of them instantly felt the oppressive aura emanating from the young man in front of them, even Craig and Cecilia, who were members of the special forces, were no exception.

Although Xia Yan spoke to them very politely throughout, the murderous aura he released in his final warning showed that he was by no means a saint who couldn't bring himself to kill.

Even from the fact that he didn't deliberately emphasize Morgan's words, it's clear that he has a strong confidence in his own abilities.

In conclusion, this Master named Xia Yan is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

The four of them even developed a sense of vigilance, realizing that not only should they themselves not act recklessly, but they should also be wary of others acting recklessly, lest a greedy fool appear and bring misfortune upon the rest of them.
