In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Alice asked curiously:

"Huh? Did Mr. Lion Robber accept?"

"No, not at all. I don't want to die yet." Shizi Jieli's tone was somewhat self-deprecating.

Those people are overestimating him. If the Einzbern family really had a Servant, how could a first-rate magician like him possibly try to take advantage of him?

not to mention.

Even if you acquire the technology to preserve Servants, not everyone has the ability to do so.

After all, the most important thing in getting Servants to stay is not summoning them, but how to make them willingly follow you.

Most Heroic Spirits appear in the world as Servants because they have their own desires.

Unless these heroic spirits happen to wish to remain in the modern world, forcing them to stay will not end well.

As for the Einzbern family, they were simply incredibly lucky.

Lion-King asked, puzzled:

"Since you are not participants in this Holy Grail War, why did you go to the castle of the Yggdrasil? If it is confidential, then you don't need to answer."

"It's not that it needs to be kept secret, it's just that my husband is there."

Shiki Jieli's expression was subtle. He had never heard of a marriage alliance between the Thousand World Tree and the Einzbern family!

"Master."

The silver-haired fairy knight said softly, "Please break the contract with me."

"..."

Shishigaki Kairi's lips twitched violently. "You're really direct!" he thought. "While he may not have much expectation of obtaining the Holy Grail right now, isn't this a bit disrespectful?"

But now that things have come to this point, can he refuse?

Even if he forcibly commands Saber with Command Spells, how effective would it be?

"alright."

Lion's Tribulation Realm Lord sighed and revealed two Command Seals on the back of his hand.

Ultimately, a Master's control over a Servant relies on Command Seals. Without the constraints of Command Seals, many Servants would betray their Master immediately.

Correspondingly.

Once he runs out of Command Seals, he will no longer be able to control Saber.

In that way, Saber could easily sign contracts with other people—even those without Command Seals wouldn't be out of the question.

After all, there were no Command Seals in the original Holy Grail War!

Chapter 273 Backstabbing is an Art

"Mr. Lion Robbery, would you like black tea or green tea?"

"Black tea."

When questioned by Kaules, Shiki-kai Kairi acted quite casually. He didn't care what he drank and was looking around at the living room's decor.

Kaules placed a cup of black tea in front of Lion's Robbery, whose expression still held a hint of emotion:

"It seems that the Yggdrasil Clan has already secured the victory in this Holy Grail War. With 9 Servants against 5 Servants, I have no idea how they could possibly lose."

While the Yggdrasil Clan may not be as powerful as the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower, they are still a renowned family in the magic world. Even if they are only second-rate, they are the largest among second-rate families, certainly not some nobody.

Now, the Yggdrasil clan has gained the support of the Einzbern family.

Including their original seven Servants, plus the two Sabers who came to support them, that's a total of nine Servants. Against the Red team, which only has five Servants left, this advantage is beyond description.

Lion's Claw had no idea how the Red Team could win, which is why he decisively gave up his Master status.

Since we can't win anyway, there's no point in struggling. Quitting voluntarily is more dignified.

But to Lion's surprise, Kaules gave a wry smile in response to Lion's lament:

“Mr. Lion's Lair, the Black faction currently only has 3 Servants.”

"Ok?"

Lion's Demise Realm was surprised. How could there only be three riders?

Koles hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back; what else could he say?

Saber, Lancer, and Caster have all been defeated by Archer, leaving only Rider and Berserker. Although Assassin remains, his Master has been missing, so it's safe to assume he's met with misfortune.

So in the end, only 3 Servants were left.

Furthermore, the Master of these three Servants is now his sister Fiore.

Koles stroked the back of his hand, where the three Command Seals used to be, but now there was nothing there.

This was not Fiore's request; he voluntarily transferred control of the Berserker to her.

For Caules, there was never any desire that required the Holy Grail to fulfill. Therefore, it didn't matter if control of the Berserker was transferred to his sister; what mattered was that his sister would win.

But the problem is...

With only three Servants against seven Servants from the Red faction, Caules always felt his chances of winning were slim.

Of course, this is because he didn't know that the Red Team's Berserker had been killed, nor did he know that Irisviel had brought two female Servants.

If we include the two Sabers, it's still five riders against five riders, with both sides evenly matched.

Lion Robber didn't bring it up himself, because he originally thought that Kaules knew.

But now...

Shiki Jie Li looked at Koles with some pity, it seemed that the two of them were in the same boat.

-

In Fiore's room, Yoshikage Kira got straight to the point:

"I need at least six Servants as sacrifices."

"Is it to summon the Holy Grail?" Irisviel asked softly.

Yoshikage Kira nodded slightly.

"I see."

Irisviel nodded slightly upon hearing this. "So, how many more are needed?"

Fiore stared at the silver-haired, red-eyed android wife and said softly:

"Including the Berserker who was defeated, there are four people in total."

With Caster, Lancer, and Saber from the Black faction, plus Berserker from the Red faction, all that's needed is to collect the souls of two more Servants.

"Perhaps there is only one person."

Irisviel corrected in a low voice.

"Huh? Why?" Fiore asked, puzzled.

Irisviel hesitated, "Don't you know that Servants killed by Kira-kun don't even leave behind their souls?"

If Kira-kun didn't tell her, then wouldn't it be awkward for her to say it herself?

Yoshikage Kira offered an explanation:

"It's alright, I didn't blow up their souls, so there are definitely four of them."

This Holy Grail War is different from the Fourth Holy Grail War. In that war, the goal was to ensure Irisviel's safety, which required destroying the souls of other Heroic Spirits. This time, however, that's not necessary, so Yoshikage Kira didn't specifically control the precision of the explosion.

Moreover, he used a "contact projectile" which is inherently less accurate than a direct contact projectile.

Irisviel seemed thoughtful:

"So, do we still need three more Servants?"

Fiore thought for a moment, then said softly:

"Rider can be sacrificed if necessary, as can Assassin."

Since Astolfo isn't here anyway, there's nothing to worry about; she can use Command Spells to directly order Rider to commit suicide.

As for Berserker, Fiore didn't want to sacrifice her directly.

After all, she was Corles's servant, and if there were any other options, Fiore would want to keep her.

"Then, at least one sacrifice needs to be selected from the red side."

Irisviel seemed a little excited. "Kira-kun, should we just attack directly?"

With five Servants against five Servants, it seemed evenly matched, but she still believed that her side had a great advantage.

Saber is invincible, and with Kira-kun around, defeating a single Servant in an instant is still quite easy.

and so……

Just as Irisviel was about to speak, a loud bang suddenly came from outside.

Fiore's expression was serious as she warned in a low voice:

"It's an alarm! Someone is breaching the castle's barrier!"

Ever since Danic was killed, she has been in charge of the castle's protective barrier. Now that someone has broken in, she is the first to receive a warning.

"Saber."

Irisviel immediately looked at the two girls beside her, one in gold and one in silver, and said, "Please, I'm counting on you."

-

"Hey, hey, hey~, this is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Just as Saber rushed out of the castle to meet the enemy, Shishikage Kairi also saw the situation outside through the castle window, and his eyes twitched.

If it were a Servant who came, he might not be so surprised.

But what appeared in his field of vision now was a magnificent garden floating in the sky, which could even be called a castle or a fortress!

What's going on with this Holy Grail War?

He had initially thought that the black side had already secured the victory, but upon seeing the aerial fortress, he immediately became doubtful again.
