My name is Lin Hao.

Assassin Four Heavenly Kings are here~

71:53:12

At dawn, together with the light of the rising sun, there was an alarm that the four sides of the protective barrier were simultaneously invaded in the emiya house stronghold.

Although the battle between magicians has a confidentiality rule of "not to be discovered by ordinary people", generally they will not fight in the daytime, but the breath-blocking ability of the Assassin class allows them to easily act in the daytime, even if ordinary people without magic power Seeing their figures, if you don't take pictures with a video camera immediately, you will forget them in a blink of an eye.

The mansion purchased by Emiya Kiritsugu is located on the edge of the busy city, and it is a place where no one will pass by normally, but once an abnormality occurs, it will be very eye-catching and easy to reach. It was the defender who made the big move.

"Have you started?" Saber Lily had already put on her silver light armor, and was standing guard in the courtyard with a golden sword, while Lin Hao and Irisviel were beside her.

Caster should control all the warning and counter-attack enchantments in a certain enchantment center. Arturia watched the real-time news that Caster conveyed to her in some unknown way while paying attention to the movement around her.

Since the opponent is an Assassin who is good at concealment and penetration, first leave the room where it is easy to hide in shadows and blind spots and go to the empty courtyard. In this way, unless they fly into the sky, they cannot easily approach the two masters, but if they really Doing that is no different than throwing yourself in front of the muzzle of a magic cannon called Caster.

Then there are their attributes. Although the individuals of the Assassins are very weak, the four attacking this time are the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings" who can burst out with A+ abilities in a certain attribute. [Gozel of the Strange Arm] has a frontal battle with Rider Reckless strength, [Swift Makur] can suppress Kiritsugu who has activated the inherent time control in terms of speed, [Zaid of the Base] has super durability, and was stabbed three times by Lancer in the wounded state before he died completely, [ Melty of Hundred Faces] With her magic power, she can easily discover magic traps and save herself from low-level magic attacks.

From Artoria's point of view, there is a circular transparent miniature map in the corner of the field of vision that does not affect the whole, showing the terrain around the mansion, the range of influence of the magic enchantment, and the "abnormalities" moving within it.

Previously, the Einzbern castle required too much defense and vigilance, so a central control node was adopted, and the nodes were expanded into an enchantment arrangement, which could be connected to the magic circuit to obtain detailed information, and could also be used when necessary. It is time to draw the magic power of other nodes to a specific position to deal with powerful enemies, but for this small stronghold that is just a courtyard facing the river, that kind of design is completely unnecessary, and only three or five enchantments can completely destroy all the houses here. Coverage, feedback is also more sensitive.

At this time, Saber Lily can see through the miniature map that there are four light spots on the periphery of the reconnaissance barrier, constantly trying to penetrate, but temporarily unable to break through the next defensive barrier, and can only wander nearby.

The three brighter ones are obviously Assassins who have advantages in strength, agility, and durability, and the remaining light spot that appears and disappears should be a magic enhancer that can evade detection to a certain extent.

"They just can't make up their minds now. Caster's defensive barrier is not the type that hinders entry. It will continue to perform magic attacks after the enemy enters." Seemingly seeing Artoria's doubts, Lin Hao explained .

Use traps to weaken strength, create a negative state, and then give it to Saber to make up the knife. Caster's strategy this time is aboveboard, but even if the Assassins guess it, there is nothing they can do.

Even the magic enhancer is completely unable to deal with the barriers and traps. Thinking of this, Arturia turned her gaze to the dim light spot that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Emiya Kiritsugu sighed deeply at the Keishu in the sky.

Because that golden flying machine was too obvious, it stopped at the foot of the mountain where the foreign building where the Kenneth camp was located, and it only used magic to camouflage sloppily or purely for coping. Everyone can see it, as if announcing to everyone that "this king is coming".

That golden heroic spirit ruined his plan again, Kiritsugu took out a cigarette slightly distressed, completely ignoring that the current location was a deciduous forest that could easily cause wildfires.

Kiritsugu did not intend to stay away from the mountain where the Kenneth mansion is located, after driving the too eye-catching G550 back to the garage in Fuyuki Shinto last night and confirming that there were no watchers, he sneaked into the mountain again.

Tohsaka Tokiomi is going to attack Kenneth's workshop, there is no doubt about it. From the insinuations during the meeting last night and Lancer's pursuit of Kotomine Kirei afterwards, it can be seen that the Assassin in the form of a little girl has some special ability , is the focus of the current conflict, even if Tosaka Tokiomi is willing to give up this heroic spirit, his disciple named Kotomine Kirei will not agree.

Kiritsugu's position at this time is the only way to go up the mountain on foot. With his endless investigative methods and Saber Alter's keen perception, neither Kotomine Kirei nor Uyu Ryunosuke with Berserker can do it. By avoiding his perception, no matter whether they are killed or captured at that time, the balance of victory in this war can be tilted towards one's own side.

But who would have thought that the proud Archer would directly use his inexplicable flying machine to bring Kotomine Kirei there?

Through the sniper scope, Kiritsugu could clearly see the edge of Huizhou, Kotomine Kirei was talking with Archer, although he didn't know what they said, but with the posture that this aircraft didn't intend to land at all, he knew his own The ambush has completely failed. Although Berserker can still ambush, even if the opponent is restrained by Saber, there is no guarantee that the battle will be over within a few minutes. If Archer's attention is attracted by then, no one wants to be attacked by an enemy who is very far away from him. Archer pays attention.

"Retreat, or attack?" Seeing Kiritsugu put away the sniper scope, Saber in black wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked.

"...No, let's change to a location where we can observe the spaceship and the mansion at the same time, there is still room for meddling in this battle." Kiritsugu glanced at her, and started to shift first.

Although Kiritsugu was very dissatisfied with her Servant's addiction to junk food, she had nothing to say, because she didn't affect any actions because of it. Not only did the wreckage of the packaging box and other things be properly disposed of without leaving any clues, and there was never any sideshow. Walking while eating, and talking while eating, is it worthy of being called King Arthur?

However, the white one who is left behind is not close at all, and once cooked the rice...

71:34:11

"It's no good, ma'am! Kiritsugu was discovered when he was lying in ambush!"

Inside the emiya house stronghold, Artoria was nervously observing the penetration of the Assassins into the defensive barrier, but suddenly found the devastated Hisu Maiya staggering outside the door of the mansion.

Although Irisviel asked her to look for Kiritsugu before, how did she become like this?

Before Arturia could figure it out, a certain spot of light on the "Assassin Radar" sprinted towards this direction. Judging from the speed, it should be [Swift Makur]. Maiya, who was seriously injured and escaped, didn't know this Besieged by Assassins!

The pure white girl knight immediately raised her sword and rushed to support, but before that, a certain short Assassin appeared behind Hisu Maiya and slashed down without hesitation.

puff--

Although Hisau Maiya tried her best to dodge when she sensed something was wrong, the slash still cut a deep wound on her back, and blood gushed out immediately like a broken faucet, but with the power of this slash, Hisau Maiya rushed into the range of the protective barrier in time.

And because of being intercepted by Saber who finally arrived, Makur turned around and left after several failed attempts to break in.

"Irisviel?" Artoria raised her sword for vigilance and retreated to the center of the courtyard with the seriously injured Hisu Maiya.

"It's okay, this kind of injury is not fatal." Sensing that Irisviel and Lin Hao started to cast healing magic at the same time, Saber Lily was slightly relieved.

But Kiritsugu was discovered, and Maiya was seriously injured again, was it pinched by Archer and Berserker? I don't know how long the other self can last——

"What did you say about Kiritsugu just now? Is it dangerous?" Irisviel asked anxiously from behind.

"Black Saber successfully repelled Berserker, but was seriously injured by Archer's sneak attack, and Kiritsugu took her to hide." Hisau Maiya paused before continuing: "That golden spaceship——Archer is riding on it to find Kiritsugu. "

That golden spaceship that was shot down twice by himself and another self? Arturia raised her eyes to look in the direction of the Kenneth Mansion, and the familiar golden shape was just suspended. It seemed that, as Caster said, there were a lot of treasures in the ancient king's treasury.

"Where is Kiritsugu hiding? Can we withdraw in time?" Irisviel continued to ask behind him while treating him.

"Well, that was Assassin just now, what you said directly..." It seemed that with the help of the healing magic, Hisu Maiya's voice no longer seemed weak.

"Then I'll set up a sound barrier." Saber heard Lin Hao say.

...no, wait? First, Assassin made a surprise attack to make himself guard the outside, then used Kiritsugu's news to attract Irisviel's attention, and then asked Lin Hao to set up a barrier under the excuse of needing to keep it secret. Although Caster was monitoring the outside, the inside was completely undefended? !

While Saber Lily perceived the other party's situation through the inexplicable connection with Saber Alter, she turned around and observed the suspicious "Hyuu Maiya".

The feedback from my other self was—"This family bucket even forgot to put ketchup"? !

Oops! When Artoria turned her sword and rushed towards "Hisu Maiya", she had already drawn out the dagger and stabbed fiercely at Irisviel who was close at hand.
