"This is my nostalgic garden, the vain Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Master, how is it?"⑤
Chapter 4 Coming (k)
"Great, you did include all my needs, didn't you?"
Kotomine Shiro let out a sigh. In front of him was a building that was too huge to be imagined.
The green floating islands are neatly arranged with marble floors and are made up of pillars. Various plants can be seen entwined everywhere, blending the chaotic ugliness with the gorgeous beauty.
This is the red Assassin, the treasure of Assyrian Queen Semiramis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Since it was not Semiramis who built the Hanging Gardens in history, the name of the Noble Phantasm was preceded by the name of Vanity.
In fact, the person who built the Hanging Gardens was Nebuchadnezzar II of the Babylonian Empire, the man who had sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the First Temple built by King Solomon.
That man was the star that shone in the sky, but fell from the sky to destroy the nations.
"Master, of course... Next, we just need to wait for Rider, Archer, and Lancer to return, and then we can activate my Sky Garden."
Semiramis looked at everything in front of her and laughed happily.
"Thank you. We'll attack Archer while he's still fighting and may not have time to recover."
"Although the name of the towering tower is enough to intimidate everyone, it was exposed before it was built and left its own position. This is undoubtedly a fatal move."
"As long as we can defeat Archer on the black side first, our chances of obtaining the Greater Holy Grail will be greatly increased."⑧
Although Kotomine Shiro was excited, his voice was able to remain indescribably steady.
In order to achieve his wish, he will of course seize all necessary factors without hesitation and use all means to eliminate his opponents.
He had asked more than once why they could not be forgiven, why they could not be redeemed, and why they were ultimately met with only despair and regret.
This time he must get the Holy Grail and ask God.
"Assassin, let's go. I won't let this tragedy happen again. The Greater Holy Grail belongs to us."
Shiro Kotomine looked up at the high, transparent sky with a look of firm will; the dream existed in his heart.
……
"Caster, the android you are looking for was definitely taken away by Rider and fled here. Rider brought the android to Archer's castle and returned alone. Archer's Master also explained this to me."
Danic said to Avisbronn with a headache, it was just a matter of a cyborg, how could it develop into something involving Rider and Archer.
No one knows what Rider said to Archer, but in the end he left the android in Archer's castle. Archer accepted the android and asked him to participate in the construction of the temple.
Participating in the construction of the temple is no small matter. It is a temple truly favored by God. What an honor it is to be able to stay in it.
Since Archer specifically instructed this, it means that the android was most likely accepted as a subject by Archer.
Asking Archer for his subjects to serve as sacrifices was not possible just by thinking about it.
"I understand... I just want to activate my Noble Phantasm. That homunculus is the last missing ingredient. You know, Danic, I don't need the Holy Grail. My only wish is to complete my Noble Phantasm."
Avisbronn didn't have much feeling towards Archer, and the events in the audience hall didn't have much impact on him.
The only thing that matters to him is the completion of his own treasure.
And in order to complete the magic core of his treasure, a magician with sufficient talent is required.
Among the Yugdomrenia clan, the only ones who possess this talent are the seven who became Masters and the android who escaped.
So only on this point, Avisbronn was unwilling to give in.
"But Archer will probably be hard to talk about this kind of thing. I'm afraid that just asking about it might make him angry."
"I won't do anything unnecessary about this matter. You can ask Archer yourself. Aren't you planning to visit him?"
Danik finally left the choice of the problem to Avisbronn and let him deal with it himself.
"I understand. I'll give it a try."
Avisbronn nodded.
"I'm going to go prepare a gift for Archer, so I'll take my leave now."
"I was just about to go find Gold. There seems to be some accident with Assassin, and the Red Saber has rushed to Sighisoara, so we have no choice but to let our Saber go and deal with it."
Danik felt that things were unpredictable. Although he spent a lot of time preparing, accidents still happened frequently, which was really a headache.
He knew that if he failed, the final result would be the extermination of his entire clan.
But so what? There are too many magic families in this world who don't even have the chance to get a chance, and can only gradually perish in the dark.
But now the Yugdomirenia clan has got the chance, just this alone is lucky enough.
Besides, Danik had no intention of just going down in defeat. He was determined to win and complete his revenge.
...Three
When the morning star rose, the androids and golems sent by Avisbronn also arrived.
The construction speed of the fortress has been improved again. Manshu asked them to give priority to building the city walls and strengthening the foundation.
Fiore commanded the androids to give orders on the spot, and the androids then commanded the golems and repaired the buildings themselves.
On the other side, Fiore was still getting familiar with her recovered legs, and her progress was obviously better than that of the android who was still practicing on the other side.
Metal arms extend from Fiore's back, serving as props to help support her.
This made Fiore's practice much easier. Her body was not weak, so she became proficient very quickly.
The android who was practicing on the other side was much inferior, which made Fiore wonder what use he could be in building the temple.
But this kind of life feels pretty good, although I choose to pursue the Holy Grail in order to fulfill my wish.
But unexpectedly, the wish had been fulfilled before obtaining the Holy Grail.
It was really incredible, but it didn't mean that I had to give up the Holy Grail.
On the contrary, it is precisely because the wish has been fulfilled that we should pursue the Holy Grail even more.
The Holy Grail War has just begun, and after yesterday's battle, we should be able to have a little peace and quiet.
Fiore thought so in her heart, but soon the message from Danik made her frown.
"The Reds launched an attack, and they attacked with an entire territory."
The view from Avisbronn covers the entire Tolyface area. You may not be able to capture the Hanging Gardens when they rise, but you will definitely see them once you enter Tolyface.
Because the Black Assassin was hunting down magicians in Sighisoara, Danic sent Gold and Saber to deal with the matter.
Therefore, some surveillance golems were tilted towards Sighisoara. It was difficult to hide the sky garden, which was at least tens of meters wide.
The three remaining servants gathered in the Thousand Worlds Tree Castle. Vlad III sat in the repaired seat in the audience hall, while Astolfo, Frankenstein and their Masters stood on both sides.
"The Red Team really picked a good time to attack while our Saber was away, and they were preparing to attack Archer who was alone."
Danic was troubled by this, as his side should be the defending side. Ideally, the seven Servants would use the Thousand Worlds Castle as their base to engage in an offensive and defensive battle with the Magic Association.
But now, there are only three servants standing in the castle.
"Although Archer is an annoying guy, there is no doubt that he is also a member of our side."
Vlad III did not look very good. The invasion of the Red Army was more annoying than what happened in the audience hall before.
If before it was just a conflict between allies, now it is an invader, an enemy stepping into his territory.
This is an opponent that must be eliminated, an enemy that must be destroyed, and the guy he hates the most.
"Since the enemy has entered my territory, they must be wiped out!"⑷
"My king, supporting Archer is something we must do, but we cannot leave this place without servants guarding it. The Holy Grail is right here. If we go all out, and the Red side sends servants to sneak in and steal the Holy Grail, I'm afraid the defenses here won't be able to stop anything."
"Well... I will go in person, Rider and Berserker, you stay here. Rider, you have a mount and you are the most mobile among us. If we encounter an attack that we cannot defend against, use your Hippogriff to take the Greater Holy Grail away."
After a moment's thought, Vlad III issued a formal order.
"Faced with those fools who sullied our land and made vile laughter, I can only teach them a lesson if I personally go up to them and kill them with a smile."3
……three
"I have known about this for a long time. That courtyard is not something to worry about."
Regarding the information that Fiore came to convey, Manshu said lightly.
This made Fiore feel a little relieved. Her Servant was unlikely to show any panic.
"But since Caster Avisbron is on his way here, let's prepare to welcome him into the city.
Building this fortress can save him a lot of work. It would be a bit troublesome if he died.
Avisbronn was faster than the Hanging Gardens. Before Manshu's clairvoyance could see the Hanging Gardens, Avisbronn had already arrived.
"It's only been a short while since I received Uncle Danick's call. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."
Fiore said to Avisbron.
"My golem saw the Red Team's attack, so I sped up a bit to hurry on. Otherwise, if I was stuck on the road, I wouldn't be able to survive the Red Team's servants by myself.":
Avisbronn answered as he looked around the castle.
"The king was also worried about this, so he asked me to prepare early and come to meet you."
"I'm visiting at a really bad time. You don't have to entertain me first. Let King Nimrod prepare for the Red Army's attack. I'll strengthen the golems here to make them more suitable for combat."
Although Avisbronn came to visit Manshu, he decided to put things aside for the time being since he happened to be attacked by the enemy.
It just so happens that he can also gain some benefits in the next battle and leave more goodwill to the other party.
You never know whether the requests and questions you raise can really get a complete answer.
"Thank you so much for your help. All the golems are now working to reinforce the city walls. The king's current request is to strengthen the defense capabilities."
Fiore said happily that it was always good to strengthen one's own strength before the battle began.
However, both sides had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter of the android. Fiore also placed the android in a room close to the palace and warned him not to leave the room without her order.
It doesn't take much time to get here from the Sky Garden.
It only took about an hour, and the courtyard floating in the air appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Although I have seen it with the eyes of the golem in advance, it is still shocking to see it with my own eyes."
Avisbronn looked at the garden in the sky and expressed his feelings.
"Do you want me to send out golems to fight them, or should we stay in the fortress?"
"The king's orders are to take the men away from the front. Next is his battlefield."
"That's right. How could that king let us interfere in his battle? Let us magicians just stand aside and admire the king's divine power."
……
The Dragon Tooth Soldiers were thrown down from the courtyard, and as the vanguard, they were to prepare to launch an attack.
The Red Servants who had gathered in the courtyard to launch the attack, except for Caster, were already standing on the outskirts of the courtyard, looking at the castle being built in front of them.
"Is that the legendary Tower of Babel? It doesn't look like it at all."
"It should still be the city under the building tower, the city called Babel."
Kotomine Shiro responded with a smile and gripped the sword in his hand.
"The goal is to destroy this castle first. Otherwise, the black Archer with the ability to target heroes is not something that a single Servant can defeat."
"Lancer, the task of stopping the black Archer is now yours. Rider, go and stop the black Servant who is coming to support you."
"Let us fight the first great battle of this Holy Grail War and sound the clarion call of our victory with the destruction of the Tower of Babel."
If the Tower of Babel were destroyed, it would mean that the Lord had recognized his wish.
Kotomine Shiro thought so and gave the order to attack.
……
"Reveal the coming end, Archangel Uriel."
Chapter 26: Evil Fire
The Hanging Garden stopped in front of the castle, and Semiramis summoned a large pot about three meters in diameter, which floated over the bow.
Yellowed bone fragments immediately fell from the cauldron to the ground like rain. After being buried in the soil, they grew like plants, and skeleton soldiers with lizard-like heads and jaws were born.
“Looks very fragile.”
Archer Atalanta, who was also standing at the bow, said.
