So in the castle of the capital, in front of everyone's astonished eyes, the ragged Altria drew out the sword that symbolized the British royal power. In Merlin's pitying eyes, she spoke her name.

"Arthur."

Chapter 197 First Battle

"Arthur."

Sitting on a plane that took off from Germany, Saber, wearing a light blue down jacket, arrived with Irisviel in Fuyuki City in the far east. In the taxi, looking at Saber, who was wearing ordinary clothes and holding a book in her hand, Irisviel sighed:

"What a shame. I was looking forward to seeing Saber in a black suit."

Hearing Irisviel’s words, Saber shook her head helplessly and said:

"We have important matters to attend to, so it's better to dress in ordinary clothes. Irisviel, although the black suit you suggested is very attractive, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, which is very disadvantageous for the Holy Grail War."

Although Saber is a Heroic Spirit summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu, she has little contact with Emiya Kiritsugu. Instead, she communicates more with Irisviel. After knowing that Saber wants to understand the civilization of modern society, it is Irisviel who finds many modern popular science books for her. For example, the "100,000 Whys" in Saber's hand is the result of Irisviel.

It was also during the contact that Irisviel realized that Saber was not the cute girl in the animation, she was much more mature in all aspects. This maturity was not only reflected in her thoughts and ideas, but also in her clothing, which was the idea of the older generation. Compared with being beautiful or not, Saber undoubtedly valued health and warmth more.

So when she was choosing her daily clothes, she didn't even bother with the flashy suits, and chose a white wool sweater and a thick down jacket. Her clothes were much more conservative than in the animation. And while choosing clothes, she also reminded Irisviel to wear more clothes and keep warm, giving people the feeling of a mature head of the family.

After getting off the plane, Irisviel knew that at the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu also got off the plane with his assistant Hisau Maiya from another city airport in the Far East, and then made preparations in Fuyuki City. After getting off the plane, she and Saber needed to go to the Einzbern castle in the Fuyuki City forest.

In the following time, Irisviel, as the Lesser Holy Grail, will still be Saber's apparent master and attract firepower. Emiya Kiritsugu will be secretly watching. As for the scabbard that can make people immortal, Irisviel asked to stay in Emiya Kiritsugu's body. After all, as the Lesser Holy Grail, Irisviel does not have to worry about life at all.

Thinking that she was still executing the strategy from the original animation this time, Irisviel couldn't help but think of something. Saber, who was standing by, sensed Irisviel's doubts, but said calmly:

"Irisviel, you want to know what happened between Lancelot and Guinevere, right?"

Seeing that Saber saw through her thoughts, Irisviel was a little embarrassed. But the legend of King Arthur was too famous, and Irisviel couldn't hide the gossip in her heart, so she nodded quickly. Then she heard Saber say:

"No matter what era, most marriages between nobles are just superficial marriages. In reality, most couples have their own affairs. In a relatively conservative country like England, there are many noble women who keep lovers. So even if I knew about the relationship between Guinevere and Lancelot, I have no interest in interfering."

"Besides, I am a woman after all. As a woman, I cannot make Guinevere get the happiness that a real woman deserves. But even so, Guinevere still maintains her chastity. Compared with other women of the same era, Guinevere's restraint even makes me feel heartbroken, so I don't care about the relationship between her and Lancelot."

Hearing this, Irisviel was secretly surprised. Although she had experienced many worlds as a time traveler, she still couldn't imagine the kind of husband-wife relationship among European nobles, where you play your own games and I play mine, and she couldn't imagine the scene where European noble women kept a lot of lovers after getting married.

"Since you don't care about the relationship between Lancelot and Guinevere, why did you and him part ways later? Is it really because Gawain couldn't stand it and Mordred secretly instigated it, so that after the conflict became public, it was difficult for you to deal with it?"

Hearing Irisviel’s question, Saber smiled, put down the “One Hundred Thousand Whys” in her hand, and asked back:

"Irisviel, during our interactions, I know that you have some knowledge of history. In that case, you should understand one thing. That is, from ancient times to the present, no conflict between the top leaders of a country has ever been caused by emotional disputes. The power of love is very fragile in the face of the struggle for power."

"Those emotional disputes in historical legends are nothing more than a curtain covering up the struggle for power. The only thing that can cause a king of a country to part ways with the most popular first knight is the conflict of power and the opposition of positions between them!"

A conflict of power, a conflict of positions?

Irisviel could not understand, because she felt that Saber and Lancelot were both people of noble character, and there should not be a huge conflict between their positions.

Then Saber explained:

"In our time, Britain was threatened by the Germans in the north, and the country was also in turmoil. On the other side of the sea, the newly born Frankish Kingdom was also eyeing it covetously. In the face of so many threats, Britain had to maintain a large army to ensure national security."

"But the problem is that the larger the army, the more military expenditure is needed. At that time, the people of Britain were already poor, and the wealth was controlled by the nobles represented by the knights. In order to protect the country and maintain the army, I can only choose to gain wealth by squeezing the nobles. And this behavior obviously conflicts with the class and ideas represented by Lancelot."

Having said this, Saber turned her head and looked at the world outside the taxi window.

"I was born in poverty, and I think it is natural to use the nobles' money to protect the common people. But Sir Lancelot was born in the knight class, and he subconsciously protects the interests of the nobles. He thinks that the interests of the majority should not be sacrificed for the minority, and such an approach is definitely not the justice of a knight. But at the same time, his reason tells him that only by sacrificing the interests of the nobles can the survival of the country be maintained."

"So, the conflict between ideals and reality made Sir Lancelot choose to escape. This was not his fault. It can only be said that the class he represented was the greatest enemy of the British people at that time. The separation between ideals and reality, the seemingly high-sounding ideals will lead the country to destruction. This contradiction and opposition is the root cause of Sir Lancelot's madness!"

Saber's words were calm and objective, revealing the helplessness of reality everywhere, making Irisviel feel that this knight who looked like a girl in front of her was a true king. Her thoughts and her every move revealed a strong kingly temperament.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Saber looked forward and said to Irisviel beside her:

"If you want to fight better, you must learn to live better. Anyway, the Holy Grail War has not yet begun, so let's just enjoy the charm of the Eastern world!"

After saying this, Saber continued with a hint of anticipation:

"I wonder which Heroic Spirits will appear in this Holy Grail War?"

As if in response to Saber's expectations, on the night that Irisviel and Saber arrived in Fuyuki City, a Heroic Spirit could not wait to challenge all the Heroic Spirits. When Irisviel and Saber arrived at the port of Fuyuki City, the man who appeared in front of them surprised them both.

The two saw that the one who challenged all the heroes was a man holding a spear. He was wearing a mountain pattern armor, a brocade dragon robe, a turban, a long white face, and a three-strand beard fluttering in the wind. His eyes were intimidating without anger, and his body was tall and straight. He was really majestic and outstanding.

Feeling the aura emanating from him, Irisviel and Saber knew that this must be a top-level Heroic Spirit. And even without obvious evidence, Irisviel had already vaguely guessed his identity from his attire and aura.

Summoned as a Lancer, the most famous legendary hero in China. One of the three great saintly generals along with Joan of Arc of France and Saladin of West Asia. Yue Fei, Yue Wumu!

Was he summoned out for this Holy Grail War?

Feeling the aura around Lancer, Saber was secretly shocked. This was because no matter from the perspective of history or the novel, from the perspective of background or fame, this man named Yue Fei was the top hero in the Eastern world. In terms of status, he was not inferior to the King of Conquerors and the King of Heroes, and was far from being comparable to Diarmuid in the animation.

While observing, Saber's attention was gradually drawn to the spear in Lancer's hand. It was the spear transformed from a spirit snake in the legend, the famous treasure that accompanied Yue Wumu in his battles and killed enemies - the Liquan Spear!

At the same time as Saber and Lancer were confronting each other, the tall, red-haired King of Conquerors also noticed the two of them on the distant Fuyuki City Bridge. Looking at Saber, who looked like a little girl but exuded a clear fighting spirit, the King of Conquerors said to the trembling Master Waver beside him:

"Is that little girl the Saber of this Holy Grail War? She's quite cute, but I wonder what her real name is? Could she be Joan of Arc of France? As for the Eastern Hero with a gun, he should be a famous general in the history of Shenzhou! Yes, there are many famous generals in the history of Shenzhou, and judging from this man's aura, he should be one of the best ones."

"Among the four most famous generals in Shenzhou, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Li Jing, and Yue Fei, which one is he? Or maybe a less famous general in Shenzhou, such as Su Dingfang... If it's Su Dingfang, that would be interesting. After all, he and I are both conquerors who have traveled thousands of miles!"

Obviously, Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, was very interested in Lancer. The Masters and Heroic Spirits who were also interested in Saber and Lancer were now focusing their attention on the port of Fuyuki City. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Saber asked in confusion:

"I've heard that Eastern military tactics emphasize making plans before taking action. First, make yourself invincible, and then wait for the enemy to be defeated. As an Eastern Heroic Spirit, you should be well versed in military tactics, judging from your attire. Why do you want to be the first to intervene in this Holy Grail War?"

In response to Saber's question, Lancer on the other side said:

"Planning before taking action is indeed the essence of military strategy. But the history books also say that the one who strikes first wins, and the one who strikes later loses. The initiative on the battlefield is also very important. So when all the Heroic Spirits are holding back, it is not a bad idea to launch an attack and seize the initiative of the Holy Grail War."

Hearing Lancer's explanation, Saber chuckled. Because Saber knew that it was definitely not Lancer's idea to take the initiative. A master of military tactics like him must know that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. The reason why Lancer made such a strategic mistake in this Holy Grail War must be because of his Master.

It seems like this Eastern heroic spirit has entrusted his trust to the wrong person!

But judging from the tone of this Lancer's voice, he didn't seem to care about this kind of thing.

Is he used to his lord's incompetence, or has he seen through the so-called Holy Grail War like himself?

With this thought in mind, Saber's clothes were replaced by armor made of magic, and the sword in her hand was covered by the Wind King's barrier. Looking at Lancer opposite her, Saber said:

"Lancer, it seems that you and I have the same attitude towards this Holy Grail War! If that's the case, let's not engage in intrigue like in a real war, and just fight with all our might!"

"That's exactly what I meant!"

So, as Irisviel observed, Saber had already fought with Lancer. The battle between the two attracted most of the participants in this Holy Grail War, and also made Irisviel feel the strength of the Heroic Spirits. With the strength of the two Heroic Spirits in front of her, even the Kocho Ninja from the Demon Slayer World would find it difficult to defeat them in close combat.

Compared to Diarmuid in the original work, Lancer Yue Fei is undoubtedly much stronger in this Holy Grail War. Even though Saber relies on the Wind King Barrier to cover the holy sword in her hand, the Liquan Spear in Lancer's hand is as graceful as a swimming dragon, relying on the advantage of length to not lose in a head-on battle.

The battle at this time was a standard melee. With the actual combat skills of both sides being similar, the difference in basic stats naturally prevailed. As the job with the strongest ability among all jobs, Saber's ability should have been stronger than Lancr's.

But what can she do this time? Her opponent is the top general Yue Fei. Relying on her fame in the Eastern world, Lancer's basic stats are comparable to Saber's, and her speed is as high as A+ level, much higher than Saber's. Therefore, in this physical battle, Lancer has already gained a subtle advantage.

This man is really capable!

Facing Yue Fei, Saber felt unprecedented pressure. Saber knew that she was now facing an enemy that was definitely stronger than she had ever faced in her life. In terms of martial arts alone, the opponent was even able to surpass Lancelot, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table. Not to mention that as a top-level Heroic Spirit, he must have some treasures that he had not yet used.

At the same time, on the container at the port, Emiya Kiritsugu also set up his sniper rifle and began to communicate with his assistant Hisau Maiya in secret. Seeing that Saber was at a disadvantage in close combat, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately began to search around, looking for Lancer's Master, hoping to turn the tide of the battle by assassination.

Just when Emiya Kiritsugu had been searching for a long time but couldn't find Master Lancer, Kenneth's voice echoed in the harbor. Hearing this voice, Saber, who was fighting with Lancer, clearly felt the helplessness on Yue Fei's face. Although Lancer didn't say anything, that expression already said it all.

He was already speechless about his Master!

Chapter 198 Real Name Alexander

“Let’s stop the game here, Lancer! Don’t let the battle drag on any longer. That Saber is a strong enemy, kill her quickly! Even if it means exposing your Noble Phantasm!”

Hearing Kenneth's voice echoing in the port, Yue Fei, as a Lancer, almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Not to mention that there are seven Heroic Spirits in this Holy Grail War, there are super-sized opponents such as the King of Conquerors and the Magic King on my side. Facing such a group of powerful enemies, I have to expose my Noble Phantasm in the first battle. Isn't this courting death?

Besides, no matter how small the Holy Grail War is, it is still a war! You are speaking so loudly in a place like the harbor. Are you really not afraid that the enemy will capture the leader first and shoot you first?

In short, as the top military strategist in the Eastern world, Lancer felt that his master was so stupid that he was a little cute, and even reminded him of the king he once served. The Zhao family was also like this back then, usually high and mighty, but at critical moments, he would be submissive. Now Kenneth's behavior is quite similar to the style of the Zhao family back then.

But he was his master after all. Even though Lancer was very dissatisfied, he still chose to follow orders out of loyalty in his heart. Then Saber saw the spear in Lancer's hand shining with golden light, and then turned into a golden giant python and rushed towards her.

A spear that can transform into a giant golden python?

The moment they saw this treasure, everyone who was paying attention to the Holy Grail War guessed Lancer's true identity almost at the same time.

Liquan Spear? He is indeed Yue Fei!

"I never thought that the most famous warrior in the Eastern world would actually participate in this Holy Grail War!"

In the Tōsaka residence, Tōsaka Tokiomi listened to Kotomine Kirei's report, and his expression gradually became serious. Because he had a feeling that this heroic spirit named Yue Fei seemed to have something that could restrain Gilgamesh.

At the same time, in the Cathedral Church.

As a nun in name only, after learning Yue Fei's true identity, Kiara Seshoin chuckled and said:

"This must be the work of that person!"

"Who is that?" Kotomine Kirei asked puzzledly.

"Although most of the evil humans participating in this Holy Grail War want to deal with the future enemy Chaldea, there are a few evil humans who choose to stand on the side of Chaldea. I think the person behind Yue Fei should be one of those few evil humans!"

"That's the way it is." Kotomine Kirei nodded and said:

"So, there must be something special about this Lancer. But judging from his Noble Phantasm alone, he doesn't seem as powerful as you expected?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

At the same time, on the bridge in Fuyuki City in the distance, the King of Conquerors saw Yue Fei's Noble Phantasm and said:

"Compared to his immature Master, Lancer, as a famous general of Shenzhou, is obviously much more mature. He knows the cruelty of this Holy Grail War, and he also knows that exposing the Noble Phantasm in advance will only lead to his own destruction. So after the Master gave the order, he chose to distort the Master's order in a tactful way."

"A euphemistic way?" Waver at the side asked puzzledly.

"In short, the Master's order was to reveal his Noble Phantasm and kill Saber. But in Lancer's opinion, the Master clearly did not ask him to reveal any Noble Phantasm. So when faced with the Master's order, Lancer chose to reveal his weaker Noble Phantasm instead of his most powerful one. In this way, even if his true name is exposed, his strength is not fully exposed. In this Holy Grail War, he has an advantage that others don't know about."

At this point, King of Conquerors Rider nodded and said:

"Should we say that he is worthy of being one of the four great generals of Shenzhou? He has such calm decision-making ability at the critical moment. It's a pity that this general seems to be the same as in history, and has not met a master who is suitable for him. His subconscious disobedience to the master's orders makes people feel sad!"

In such a feeling, the battle between Saber and Lancer gradually entered a white-hot stage. Facing the mighty Golden Snake, Saber also chose to completely release her Wind King Barrier. In the howling wind, the long sword in Saber's hand was also exposed to everyone. Seeing the grace of the long sword, all parties in the Holy Grail War once again realized Saber's true identity.

The legendary knight king, Arthur Pendragon!

At this moment, everyone realized that the two heroes fighting at the port were both almost religious beings in the legends of the East and the West. But the clash between the two seemed to be unworthy of their historical names. Obviously, both Lancer and Saber knew that this was only the first battle of the Holy Grail War, so they subconsciously chose to hold back.

Facing such a battle full of temptations, Saber gradually discovered the embarrassment of Lancer in front of her.

Saber originally held the same idea as the King of Conquerors, thinking that Lancer released the spear in his hand in order to retain his more powerful Noble Phantasm. But after the battle, Saber discovered that Lancer seemed to have some kind of difficulty. It was not that he did not want to use a more powerful Noble Phantasm, but that he simply could not use it.

“What’s wrong, Saber? Your fighting spirit is no longer as sharp as it was at the beginning! You are the legendary Knight King! Being half-hearted in battle is not the way of chivalry in your Western world!”

Feeling Saber's retreat, Lancer said with a hint of dissatisfaction. In response, Saber said:

"It's not that I mean to insult this duel, but your condition is not suitable for a duel between knights."

Lancer was startled when he heard this, and then he heard Saber say:

"As a legendary top hero in the Eastern world, your magic power is too weak. It is obvious that the one who provides you with magic power is not your master. In this case, you can't show your true strength at all. The battle between knights should be fair. This is the respect for each other. I will not defeat you here, because you are not in your prime right now."

"Go back to your Master and solve the problem of mana supply. I will not kill a Heroic Spirit in poor condition here. Because taking advantage of others in distress is the greatest insult to the spirit of chivalry!"

After hearing Saber's words, most of the Heroic Spirits and Masters who were watching the battle were impressed by Saber's chivalry. With such a broad mind and bearing, she is worthy of being the legendary King of Knights. Among the people present, only Emiya Kiritsugu, Saber's Master, shook his head in disdain after hearing Saber's words.

This Saber is really troublesome!

Just as everyone was sighing, a golden light flashed from the street lamp in the distance.

Seeing the figure flashing in the light, Saber narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling the vast sea of magic power on that person, her heart was full of fear. As one of the spectators of this Holy Grail War, after noticing the aura of the golden figure, Marisbilly, one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, said puzzledly:

"This aura, and this condescending attitude, could it be the legendary oldest king, Menes?"

In fact, at the beginning, Marisbury wanted to summon not the Magic King Solomon, but the legendary oldest king, the founder of Egypt's three thousand years of dynasty, the first pharaoh who became king five thousand years ago, and the oldest king Menes who unified Upper and Lower Egypt!

As the oldest monarch in human history, Menes was at least four hundred years older than Gilgamesh. Not only that, Menes was also the first monarch in human history to combine royal power with divine power and call himself the King of Gods. He was a legendary monarch who truly ended the era of divine rule and ushered in the era of human rule.

It is also because of this feat of denying the Age of Gods and creating the Age of Humans that Menes possesses the most terrifying anti-god treasure of all treasures, and can be called the nemesis of all divine heroic spirits. If he can be summoned, with his status as the most ancient king, he will surely be able to easily sweep away any Holy Grail War.

It is a pity that although Menes is famous in human history, he is almost unknown in the Far East. As a result, many people in the Far East grafted the legend of Menes onto Gilgamesh, and even gave Gilgamesh the title of the oldest king.

Faced with this situation, Marisbilly finally had no choice but to give up summoning Menis and choose to summon the more famous magic king Solomon in the Far East. Although the territory ruled by King Solomon was not worth mentioning in human history, the books written by his descendants were so awesome that Solomon, the king of a small country, had a world-class influence.

In short, because of his admiration for Menes, Malisbili mistakenly recognized the true identity of the golden figure at the first time, and overestimated the other party's status. However, even so, Gilgamesh, who appeared as Archer, is still the top Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War. His appearance also aroused the vigilance of everyone present.

After Gilgamesh appeared, he looked at Saber in the distance with admiration, and then declared domineeringly:

"Saber, I admire your clear temperament. Are you interested in submitting to me? When I reign again in this world, I will share the glory of the king of the world with you and make you my queen?"
