Type-Moon, I will rewrite Lostbelts!

Gawain patted Agguwen on the shoulder and pointed to the city, saying, "They're preparing to handle some official business inside, and they're short-handed right now. How about we come and help?"

Working together helps improve team cohesion, and Gao Wen showed goodwill.

"Your vigilance is far too low, you foolish brother," Agravivan retorted expressionlessly. "Also, with your strength, why bother with defensive errands? You might as well just grab a knife at noon and chop them all down."

"..."

Gao Wen remained silent, unsure how to respond for a moment. At the same time, he realized that it seemed he could actually do it.

"Wait, you almost got me hooked." Gawain shook his head repeatedly, realizing something, and said seriously, "It's true that I'm very strong, but I can't face everything alone. As a general, I must integrate into the group."

Lord Emiya Shirou! I've always remembered your advice!

"That's true, but ultimately we have to consider the actual situation. In the current situation, simply focusing on defense could easily lead to problems, right?"

Agguiwen initially agreed but then shook his head in disagreement, saying that the idea was good, but it didn't take into account the actual situation.

Simply put, it means they didn't use their brains at all.

"That seems to make a lot of sense."

Gao Wen scratched his head, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense, and then he put the question out of his mind and suddenly grabbed his younger brother, who looked very smart.

"You seem quite capable, so you'll be in charge of this plan! Hahaha!"

At this moment, Gao Wen displayed great wisdom. Why couldn't he just let his younger brother do it instead of making himself suffer?

What a genius I am!

"Sure, what was the plan before? Let me see."

Agguwen readily agreed; this was the outcome he wanted—to make the war simpler and more successful, thus setting the stage for his new involvement!

Agravan thought this way, and he still thought this way when he took the paper that Gawain took out of his pocket, and then he saw the brief contents of the plan.

[In the early stages, work together with your colleagues to build camaraderie and set a good example for the civilians. If a crisis arises or unexpected circumstances occur, Gao Wenqing will go and chop them all down!]

?

A small head holds big questions.

Who devised this plan?

"Oh, it's Lord Emiya Shirou! Hahaha! Lord Emiya Shirou is such a good person!"

"Speaking of which, you should have seen him when you came back from the king, right? The one with red hair, red clothes, and not wearing armor."

Gawain happily gestured with his hands, and Agguiwen nodded silently.

Oh, so it was that gentleman who made the decision. Then it's alright. But then again, with that gentleman around, what is there to worry about?

"Enough talk, let's get back to our work of moving bricks and building."

"Huh? Didn't you say we didn't need to do any official repairs?"

"No, I think it's better to repair it. After all, we just arrived, and working together can strengthen our relationship."

"Haha, let's go then!"

More than a hundred strong knights joined the ranks, greatly improving efficiency. At the same time, Agraven made some minor changes, such as the golden juice he had seen in the book, determined to make sure the enemy had a good taste.

From then on, the second leader not only had to deal with Gawain, who was a bug in the system, but also with heavily armed city walls and the resourceful Agravivan.

Let us offer our condolences to him.

While Gawain and Agguivin were working together, the border city at the very back was also busy.

Unlike when Artoria first arrived, the city has changed dramatically. Large areas of farmland have appeared around the city, and the messy trees and rocks that were once scattered everywhere have been cleared away. Roads as wide as three carriages are everywhere, freely weaving between the city and the farmland.

"To get rich, build roads first," was one of the core principles proposed by Shirou Emiya. At first, Lancelot and Hector didn't understand it, until they discovered that working in the fields was faster and more merchants were coming. They realized that more roads were indeed a good thing.

Of course, this is on the premise that the quality is also good, for example, the main road is at least six carriages wide.

"What?! Over a thousand Saxons are coming to attack us? And they've come straight from their stronghold? They've moved through the enemy lines as if they were nothing?"

Hector was stunned when he saw the intelligence, especially when he saw that the Saxons were moving freely, he was so angry that he laughed.

Alright, so the nobles are all pretending to be dead along the way, just in case the other side can't get here, right? We're developing and affecting your status and making money, right? Fine, fine!

"So, Uncle Hector, you give the orders on how to fight."

A large group of knights were gathered around, and Lancelot, who was undoubtedly the leader, spoke up.

"Let's make this clear first, don't ruin the farmland I've worked so hard to cultivate. If there's any inevitable loss, I'll lead my men and slaughter them tonight."

Lancelot was not wearing armor at this moment, but was dressed in ordinary linen clothes and a straw hat on his head. The only things that were the same as before were the holy sword at his waist and his sharp but kind eyes.

As one of the key personnel who helped Shirou Emiya with planning over the past few years, Lancelot could not allow his efforts to become a loss, especially since it was an avoidable situation.

"Don't worry about Lord Lancelot. This war can't be fought here. The central city isn't a place that just anyone can come to and invade!"

Hector sneered. "You want the Saxons to attack and see how strong you are? You want to take advantage of our misfortune? How laughable!"

It's absolutely ridiculous!

"Lancelot and I will personally lead the team and crush those scum halfway there! The rest of you will guard the castle!"

"Hahaha! That's more like it! I'm going to change my clothes and call someone!"

Lancelot left satisfied, but as he was leaving, he turned back to Hector and complained, "How about I go alone with the men? You're too old for that, don't let anything go wrong."

"Get lost! I'm young and strong right now. In a few years, I might not be as good as you, but if we fight to the death now, you might not be my match, kid!"

Hector grumbled bitterly, while simultaneously giving a thumbs-up from an angle unseen by others—a coded signal, a signal to leave with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Lancelot muttered to himself as he left, "Whatever, but I'll protect you then, don't worry, old man~"

The main themes of the two battlefields were thus determined: Gawain's focus was on strengthening bonds with his partners and launching counterattacks at any time, while Hector's focus was on displaying his authority and taking the initiative.

Returning our attention to Artoria after the battle, she cleared out the loyalists and released those who had begged for mercy. Then she found Kai and tallied up her spoils.

Emiya Shirou deliberately avoided damaging the food and treasures, as he had considered them his own from the very beginning, and one cannot casually destroy one's own things.

“Kai is in the village ahead, I can see him.”

With her 'excellent' eyesight, Merry acts as the guide, and Shirou Emiya accompanies her to find someone. Artoria, on the other hand, is taking a break after finishing a battle and is checking out her spoils.

"It's Lord Wei Gong! It looks like the battle is over."

Kai, who was watching outside through the window, smiled and turned to the kids behind him, saying, "You guys wait here for me, I'll go out and check the situation first."

"Lord Wei! I'm here!"

Kai rushed out and waved wildly, but he didn't go too far from the house.

Emiya Shirou and Merry quickly came over, dismounted, pointed in a direction, and said, "It's all over. Ria is resting over there. Let's go back."

Kai nodded and then shook his head: "That's possible, but there's another problem, which is..."

Kai turned his head and shouted into the house, "Come out, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, figures emerged one after another, mostly children, with some adults standing guard on the edge.

"these are?"

"Children who were homeless after being robbed by the Saxons, and those who want to join our knightly order."

Kai leaned closer and whispered, "I don't know what to do, so I can only take care of him for now. After all, didn't you say that we should take extra care of him in this situation?"

"Then let Wang decide. Let's go together!"

Emiya Shirou waved his hand without refusing, which put many people at ease. They recognized this man as the one who had saved them from dire straits.

When they were trapped and treated like animals, this man seemed to be a god descending to save them!

"Sir, please tell us your name!"

One person kneels down to beg, then everyone kneels down to beg.

Please tell us your name!

"Shirou Emiya, my name is Shirou Emiya. Also, I don't like you kneeling. Get up."

Volume 1: 35. The Cool Detector Emerging from Black Gas (2k)

"Oh! Great King! You are so radiant!"

"Yes, yes, that beautiful blonde hair is so captivating that one can lose oneself in its gaze. Only a king could possess such power!"

"What nonsense are you spouting! What do you mean by 'presumably'? This is inevitable!"

Three richly dressed nobles surrounded Artoria, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly kissing the backs of her feet, which Artoria found quite disgusting.

These three were the city lords who had previously refused the offer. Upon learning that the war was over and that the rejected side had won a great victory, they ran out to greet them while cursing.

The more arrogant they were before, the more humble they are now; but for the sake of survival, anything is possible.

"No need for that, just wait patiently."

Emiya Shirou stood between several nobles, stopping the continuous praise and servile behavior.

"Come on, let's have a chat."

Emiya Shirou made no attempt to hide anything as he pulled the group aside, and the four of them huddled together to talk, amidst the expectant and conflicted gazes of several nobles.

Emiya Shirou: "What do you mean? What price should they pay?"

Melly, always eager for drama, exclaimed, "Go bankrupt!"

Kai: "Family destroyed, people killed!"

This time, the actions of three nobles are extremely excessive. It would be inappropriate to simply forgive them. Even the king's benevolence cannot justify such behavior.

In times of crisis, they refuse to send troops, cooperate, or meet with their leaders, effectively shutting out the nation's king.

These are no longer just ordinary nobles, but nobles to the extreme! They are nobles who have broken away from this country!

After hesitating for a moment, Artoria looked to the side and asked, "I don't know, what does Lord Emiya Shirou think?"

"I can handle that, but what's your upper limit on the cost?"

"...Live."

"Okay, then leave it to me."

Emiya Shirou had a big smile on his face, but it was a rather frightening smile.

After a brief discussion, the group parted ways, but just when it seemed the conversation was over, the nobles started sticking to them like leeches.

"Oh, has Wang finished communicating? Please allow us to continue to experience your brilliance."

"Wait a moment!" Shirou Emiya stepped in front of them, raising his hand to stop them. The nobles exchanged glances, their faces full of smiles, and then they heard what followed.

"Hand over all your money and all your land to save your life and everything else in your family."

! ! ! !

"Haha, um, Lord Emiya..."

A nobleman, shocked and trying to salvage the situation with a forced smile, was met with a shake of his head and refusal from Shirou Emiya.

"Hand over everything to save your life, or follow the rules. Don't make me say it's a notification instead of an inquiry."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The smiles on the three nobles vanished completely, leaving only a fake, obviously fake upturned smile.

"Lord Shirou Emiya, isn't this going a bit too far?"

Yes, they had heard of the power of the 'Red Devil' and knew how terrifying it was, but they never imagined it to be this terrifying.

To open one's mouth and mention all one's possessions is worse than being dead. Without possessions, one's life is worthless; what's the point of living?

"As long as it's money and land, other noble titles and kinship matters will not be dealt with. You should know my actions; I mean what I say."

Emiya Shirou repeated his sentence, still coldly watching the three of them. The three wanted to plead with the king directly, but found that the king turned his head to look to the side, his attitude already clear.

Damn it! This is driving us to our deaths!

But disobedience will result in even more serious losses. This 'red devil' has already proven with its actions that disobedience will lead to trouble!

Didn't you see how many noble territories have been lost?
