For example, right now...
After thinking that Assassin was still alive and might have very advanced aura concealment and abilities similar to death substitution, Matou Zouken's mind immediately became alert.
He looked around and then released a lot of insects again for vigilance, fearing that an Assassin would suddenly rush out from the darkness at the next moment.
Then, he lowered his voice and asked Rovi, "Master Crowley, what should we do next? There are too many Servants involved in tonight's test. If we continue fighting, it will be difficult for us to control the situation. Also... should we send that guy Matou Kariya to the scene with Berserker?"
If possible, Zouken Matou would really like to keep Berserker by his side. After all, they have to face an Assassin who is hiding in the darkness at any time. It is impossible not to be panicked.
Moreover, he did not expect that King Arthur would actually appear in this Holy Grail War. You know, the Berserker he summoned was not an unknown person, and he happened to have an entangled fate with King Arthur.
Lancelot, one of the main culprits who caused the destruction of the Kingdom of Arthur, would undoubtedly push Saber to the opposite side if he rushed out, and there was also a high probability that his real name would be directly discovered.
After all, that was Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, a crucial figure who had fought alongside King Arthur, defended his kingdom, and ultimately stabbed him in the back. Even if the Berserker who had recently appeared possessed the ability to disguise his identity, it wouldn't necessarily be able to conceal it from King Arthur, who lived with him day and night. That's why Matou Zouken hesitated about whether to allow Lancelot to enter the scene.
"Of course I have to enter. Since I'm here, there's no reason to leave empty-handed."
In response to Zouken Matou's concerns, Luo Wei immediately spoke out to advise him.
"Four of them have already gathered on the battlefield. Aside from the hidden Assassin, only Lancelot is missing. With such a grand event, I believe Tōsaka Tokiomi's Servant will soon appear. Then we can let Lancelot enter as well. He will act as a mad dog to test Tōsaka Tokiomi's Servant's strength. If he is really defeated, Scathach will also take action."
"Berserker will conduct the test..."
Matou Zouken nodded, quickly agreeing with Rowe's plan. "That's a good idea indeed. After all, a berserker who's lost his mind is the perfect cover. As for that pesky Assassin... I'm sure no hero wants to be watched by a villain in the darkness while they fight. If we expose his fake exit, he'll undoubtedly become a target of public criticism."
"Very good, then I'll leave the situation here to Mr. Matou."
"Hmm? Master Crowley doesn't intend to see it to the end?"
Seeing Luo Wei propose to leave, Matou Zouken looked a little surprised.
In this regard, Luo Wei did not hide anything, but answered his question directly.
"Excuse me, Matou-san. My teacher is also participating in this war. He seems to be fighting the Einzbern family's son-in-law Master. I am worried about his safety, so I have to go check on him."
"Your teacher? The... lord of the mineral department, Kenneth?"
Matou Zouken was a little surprised.
He had no idea what was so worrying about this?
After all, he was a monarch. Without a Servant, if he really faced him, even I would have no choice but to flee in panic. How could a mere Emiya Kiritsugu...
Although he had many doubts in his heart, seeing the serious look in Luo Wei's eyes, he did not ask too many questions. He just nodded slightly and gave some instructions.
"Then leave this to me, Master Crowley. Keep an eye on the guy hiding in the dark."
"Thank you."
The reason why he wanted to leave was not just because he was worried about the safety of Teacher Kenneth.
Orange, who had just arrived, had also sent him a message via phone, saying that she seemed to have made an unexpected discovery. So no matter what the reason was, he had to go and see it for himself today.
Moreover, his servants are actively fighting on the front line. As a Master, he cannot be so lazy and must do something.
If, by the time everything was settled, he had not completed the magic idea and met the requirements of the Queen of Shadow Country, his final outcome would not be good.
After all, she would not show mercy to her men in the final battle just because of their friendship of just a few days.
So this is completely a race against time, and also a ceremony where you gamble your life.
Thinking of this, Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh slightly, then turned and walked into the darkness.
Chapter 5: Golden Heroic Spirit (K first order required!)
"Hahaha! What do you think? Does anyone here have any interest in my proposal?"
Under the night sky, Iskandar's resonant voice echoed in the ears of everyone present, and the scene was silent for a while.
"..."
"Huh? Why don't you say anything?"
Seeing the battlefield become silent after his appearance, Iskandar touched his chin with a puzzled expression.
"Could it be because I just spoke too quickly? If that's the case, then I might as well repeat it again. Ahem..."
He thought for a moment.
"I am Rider, true name King of Conquerors Iskandar. Are there any like-minded heroes here willing to become my subjects?"
Then this strange guy actually cleared his throat and then really said his real name again loudly.
“…This guy.”
The expressions of the three people present suddenly became strange. Although their reactions were still different, basically...
"Rider! Is this the only reason you've come in here to interrupt our battle? As a knight, I cannot tolerate such behavior!"
Altria blinked when she realized the situation, then shouted at Rider.
"I agree with Saber. If you barge in and interrupt the heroes' battle for such a frivolous reason, you are truly rude, Rider."
Finn's expression was indifferent, and he nodded slightly. "The purpose of the Holy Grail War is naturally to fight for the Holy Grail, but there is only one Holy Grail. It is the treasure that my lord will obtain, and I will not give it up easily."
"..."
Compared to Finn and Altria, Scathach was not in a much better mood at the moment.
After all, being interrupted by a fool just as the battle was about to begin would not make any warrior feel good, let alone her, the queen of warriors.
So she just raised her palm and flipped it lightly in the air, then pointed the two scarlet magic spears directly at Iskandar who was still standing on the chariot, and then the cold murderous intent was vented out without any concealment.
"Since you've interrupted our battle, I'm sure you're ready to pay the price, Rider?"
Scathach said in a cold tone.
"Well……"
Sensing three hostile gazes locked onto him simultaneously, even Iskandar's expression turned somewhat grim. He scratched his head...
"Actually... the treatment is negotiable."
"No need to say more!"
Saber, clearly irritated, sternly rejected this ridiculous topic.
"King of Conquerors, Iskandar, you are a king illustrious in history, that is true. But do not forget, I am also a king, the king who protects Britain. Therefore, no matter what king I face, I will not yield or give in."
Altria turned the blade of her sword and replied coldly.
Since the identities of the three of them had already been revealed during the battle, there would be no problem in introducing themselves now.
"Wow...it's actually Britain's Knight King."
Hearing Altria's answer, Iskandar's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"King Arthur?... This is truly beyond my imagination. The world-famous king of knights is actually such a little girl."
Iskandar sighed subconsciously, and this inappropriate remark directly angered Altria.
She aimed the holy sword at the target and asked Iskandar in front of her in a cold tone, "Little girl? Then why don't you try the sword of this little girl you mentioned yourself?!"
"King of Conquerors, Iskandar... I can't be wrong, it's you after all."
On the other side, Finn nodded slightly inwardly after hearing Iskandar introduce himself, and then his eyes fell on another petite black figure on the chariot.
The combination of the magician, Weber Wilster, and the conqueror, Iskandar, was indeed what Kenneth had told him in advance.
However, this world-famous King of Conquerors seemed to be very different from what he had imagined.
"No need, King of Conquerors. Although I am no king, I am the leader of the glorious Knights of Fiona, and a hero who wishes to regain his former glory."
"Since I have answered the Lord's call, I must naturally help him survive and achieve the final victory. Therefore, I will not serve two masters, nor will I betray the Lord out of personal desires or personal feelings!"
Finn's words were equally sharp. He brandished the double-headed gun in his hand and rejected Iskandar's recruitment without hesitation.
"Hmph... The King of Conquerors? Just a mortal king. Even I am the Queen of Death, ruling over the Kingdom of the Dead and the distant beyond. Even the Lord of the Underworld cannot make me prostrate. No matter how powerful a mortal warrior may be, they will remain silent in my kingdom after death, and you... are no more than one of them."
Compared to Altria and Finn, Scathach didn't give Iskandar any face at all.
After a long time, her first battle after returning to the real world was interrupted like this, which made her very unhappy.
After all, whether it was the martial arts of Finn, the famous godslayer, or the power of the holy sword in King Arthur's hands, she wanted to experience it.
"The famous godslayer Finn and the demon queen Scathach? Haha, no wonder King Arthur was forced into such a desperate situation."
Hearing the three people announce their names one after another, Iskandar was very satisfied, and at the same time he had certain expectations for these three people.
All of them are heroes from mythology, and with the exception of King Arthur, they are all renowned godslayers. Whether it's Finn, the ridiculously powerful original character, or the Queen who rules the Kingdom of Shadows, they are all among the most powerful heroes among the Heroic Spirits.
No one is mediocre...
Although he was extremely confident in his own strength, when facing these three, even the proud Iskandar had to admit that he was not 100% sure of defeating any of them.
"There are truly countless heroes in the world..."
He felt a little emotional in his heart.
Weber, who was originally dizzy due to the flying man, suddenly woke up in the cold wind and the bone-piercing murderous intent released by the three top servants.
The top heroes in the three chapters of Celtic mythology, plus Iskandar, the most powerful king who has created an astonishing hegemony in human history, this is simply not the place for a small person like him to appear.
Everyone present is a hero with power far beyond this era. They can take their own lives in an instant with just a flick of their fingers.
This made Waver swallow his saliva, and at the same time he cursed himself inwardly for a few days ago.
"Weber, Weber, what on earth are you thinking? Why would you want to participate in such an outrageous ritual... Is a small-time figure like me really capable of intervening in a mythical battle of this magnitude?"
However, except for Iskandar, the others on the battlefield had no intention of paying attention to the thoughts and feelings of such a small person as him.
"It's okay, little Master. Since I'm here, you won't get hurt."
Noticing something unusual about Waver beside him, Iskandar gently patted his head with his broad hand, then smiled warmly and spoke in a comforting voice.
Rider……
Feeling the warmth from that large hand, Waver felt his initial anxiety fade away. He even felt as if the red-haired Rider before him wasn't as annoying as before. He then followed Rider's lead and moved closer to him.
"So……"
After comforting his little Master, Iskandar suddenly changed the subject, looked around immediately, then waved his arm and used magic to increase his voice and spoke.
"All the heroic spirits gathered here tonight, heroes and heroes from across the ages, have now all appeared before us! If there are still cowards hiding in the darkness, those who dare not show themselves, they will surely be scorned by me, the King of Conquerors, Iskandar!"
The deep and loud voice, deliberately amplified by Iskandar, kept echoing at the dock of Fuyuki City. It soon reached the ears of everyone present and began to spread to farther places without weakening at all.
"Oh? This guy wants to gather everyone out?"
Seeing Iskandar's behavior, Scathach couldn't help but smile.
“Rider, what are you doing…”
In response to this, Artoria's expression was slightly stunned, because according to Iskandar, are there other people hiding around this battlefield?
"Hahaha, of course this is obvious, Saber."
"The battle between you and Lancer just now was truly spectacular. The exquisite martial arts and the magical energy released during the battle were enough to make people stop and watch even after a long time. So, what about me and this... Lancer?"
Iskandar looked at Scathach in confusion. He then realized that there seemed to be two Lancers this time. However, Scathach was too lazy to respond.
"In short, I believe that any hero would be unable to remain calm after feeling this terrifying power! They would definitely come here to observe. If they are truly worthy of being called heroes, they would surely show up at this moment!!"
Iskandar nodded towards Artoria, then continued to shout loudly, his voice growing louder and soon echoing throughout the port.
At this moment, a man in a suit staying at the Tohsaka family felt something was wrong and looked panicked.
"It's not good..."
Tōsaka Tokiomi was panicking inside, and his expression became increasingly ugly.
"It's not good indeed."
