Chapter 454 The Last Red Team
Chapter 455 The Last Red Side
"——I never write about myself. That is something called prose. Now I only have the ability to weave other people's stories. Apart from that, I don't want to write anything else."
Shakespeare said in a firm tone. Karna understood what he meant and frowned and said:
"You are afraid of trouble."
"Yeah, that's about it."
Hmm——Karna nodded to show that he understood.
"...Then there is no way. Your goal is to write the stories of people other than yourself. No matter whether the result is destruction or tragedy, you have to write to the end. Therefore, surviving to the last moment is your goal. Fighting on the front line is naturally impossible."
Shakespeare smiled happily at this cold word:
"Yes, that's it! I really want to witness the end of this Holy Grail War with my own eyes. I must do this! Whether it is happiness or misfortune, or a despairing truth, witnessing everyone's story until the end is my mission!"
As a servant summoned by the Holy Grail War, this is really a line that is completely inconsistent with his identity. He said it firmly - he would watch until the end.
Achilles and Atalanta really didn't know whether to feel helpless or angry, but Shuoyue chuckled.
Although he didn't live in this way, he admired people who could carry out this will to the end.
At the same time, he was secretly curious - what kind of story would even this great writer be unable to restrain and had to personally take part in?
In short, with the help of the C-level Noble Phantasm and the priest's own firm will, the red servants gave up the idea of persuading him, and even the empress sighed and acknowledged Amakusa's bold behavior.
"That can't be helped, Master. I have to stay here to operate this courtyard, so I can't fight in person on the battlefield. Although I will provide support as much as possible, please don't go too deep into the enemy's territory, okay?"
"I understand this, after all, I am very clear about my own strength.
Although he said so, Amakusa had no intention of retaining his strength in this war. He must fight with all his strength and seize the Holy Grail with all his strength. For this, he is willing to gamble his life, and he will not hesitate to do anything that is completely against justice.
"Then, although the generals are all here, it's not very good without soldiers. Even if there are only a few androids or puppets, it would be quite annoying to get together. "
As the empress said, they don't have soldiers. But she is Semiramis, the empress of Assyria, after all, and she can create soldiers and soldiers that can be consumed without any limit.
"I will select some dragon tooth soldiers appropriately. If there are 3,000, it should be enough, right?"
"3,000? "Achilles, who lived in ancient Greece, smacked his lips and said, "Although I have fought many dragon tooth soldiers, this number is too much anyway, isn't it?"
Shuoyue, who was standing by, knew that although the black side had been working overtime to produce puppets, the number produced so far had not exceeded one thousand.
"Generally speaking, it was impossible at that time. But as long as I am in this sky garden, there is nothing I can't do."
Facing Achilles' question, Semiramis responded with a confident smile. That's right, no matter which country this sky garden goes to, it will always serve as her domain. All attributes are strengthened, and even magic involving the field of magic can be used freely.
Even the assassin queen who is "not good at magic" can compete with the top magicians in it.
Of course, this comes at a price. After all, this treasure itself has almost reached the level of a foul. Once Semiramis leaves this courtyard, she will be disabled, but this courtyard is a mobile fortress, and it is impossible to leave this courtyard.
"So, who will take the lead? "
When Father Amakusa said this, Tamiao, Heel and Karna looked at each other. Shakespeare and Sakutsuki, who did not intend to participate, showed the unique expressions of people who like to have fun.
Karna was the first to withdraw, while Heel and Tamiao were competing with each other in this area. The empress shrugged her shoulders in confusion, and Shakespeare said that he would dedicate poems of praise to the warriors who took the lead, adding fuel to the fire.
"Yeah, I can also consider baking some apple pies as a reward~~"
When Sakutsuki said this, the scene was completely set off. No one would say no to a man with EX cooking skills, especially food made with golden apples as ingredients - that is a delicacy that even the Greek gods cannot enjoy.
"...Please discuss this in a peaceful way, okay? "Amakusa whispered.
In the end, for the sake of the priest, the two of them gave in and decided that Achilles would take the lead, and Atalanta's Noble Phantasm would be used for preemptive attack.
"Anyway, I was going to release the Noble Phantasm."
"I see, that's it."
"This is the first time we've fought together, isn't it? How about a love poem?"
Achilles replied to Shakespeare's proposal with joy: "Oh, please."
But Atalanta snorted coldly, "Forget it."
So, Shakespeare integrated the opinions of the two and decided to create a sad poem about a man who had lost love - but was glared at by the blue eyes of the Moon Rainbow, and died.
Amakusa, who was watching the heroes' mischief with a wry smile, now turned his attention to Milenia Castle beyond the dusk.
The heart starts beating faster.
Ahhh, I know, I can feel it. It was indeed right there - in that city, in that place, there was indeed what he had dreamed of for many years.
A sense of excitement suddenly filled his heart, and he couldn't help but try his best to suppress the smile on his face.
"Even a man like you can't hide his excitement in the situation right in front of you. You are really a child in this regard."
The trembling and the smile stopped at the same time. Amakusa cast a slightly dissatisfied look at the servant beside him.
"It's nothing, just being able to endure the urge to jump for joy is good. Compared to this, Master. Your death means my death, which means that all plans will come to nothing. You should understand very well, right?"
"Well, of course."
Facing the Master who responded nonchalantly, the Empress sighed deeply:
"It's obvious that you still want to go to the battlefield. I really can't understand it. Now you are the Master who uses us, and you should not have set foot on the battlefield under any circumstances. It's obvious that this is the case, why do you still risk your life? Heading to the battlefield?"
After all, the empress has always been with Amakusa and is very aware of his strength. He shouldn't have any problem with robots and golems as opponents - but it's really hard to predict what the outcome of the battle with followers will be.
In short, as long as you pay careful attention, there will be no problem, but even if there is no problem... there are still eventualities. For her, letting Amakusa go to the battlefield was something she wanted to avoid at all costs. However, no matter how many times he said it, the stubborn young man still refused to give up the idea.
"Let me ask you one last time, why on earth did you do this?"
Amakusa hesitated for a moment, but finally seemed to make up his mind and answered in a calm voice:
"If my plan goes against God's will, I will definitely be eliminated on this battlefield. Maybe I will unfortunately die in the battle with my followers, or maybe I will be killed by a golem or an artificial man because of my carelessness. If not, you might even get caught in the activation range of your own Noble Phantasm and lose your life."
People will die, and followers will also die. It is a natural and everyday situation for a kind person to be involved in some unreasonable thing and meet a tragic ending.
If you are an incorrect existence, you will definitely end up like that.
"If that's the case, I will accept death frankly. God has not forgiven me, and that is something that cannot be changed. But, if...if everything goes well -"
The Assyrian empress was shocked by her master's aura. It wasn't that Amakusa did anything. He just wiped away his usual smile and looked at his servant from the front.
There was no ferocity, rage, anger, or hatred in Amakusa's eyes. Instead, they were as calm as clear lake water. It was simply not the look that someone who was about to go into battle should have - it was really very calm.
"That means that God has forgiven me for what I have done and has mercy on all people... My desire to obtain the Great Holy Grail is correct. As long as I understand this, I will no longer be confused, and betrayal will never be allowed. The betrayal has been rewarded."
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, the sage of the Far East declared with determination. According to him, he went to the battlefield to confirm whether his purpose was correct.
To Semiramis, who had grown up with conspiracies and poisonings, that was simply a foolhardy act.
However——my Master probably has to do this. It is an extraordinary obsession that others cannot understand. In order to strengthen one's will to no longer be confused, this is an essential ritual.
"Well, to be honest, I really can't understand it."
"I guess so."
The white-haired boy smiled bitterly in return. Just as the empress said, others could not understand his thoughts. After all, just for the purpose of deciding whether he was right, he had to go to the battlefield where he could face death at any time.
I originally expected to face opposition, but Empress Semiramis declared as if she was ordering her subordinates:
"However, you can only move forward by doing this. Then there is no other way, I agree. Just fight to your heart's content and survive."
Thank you——Amakusa thanked her, and at the same time, the sky garden slowly stopped moving. Milenia Fortress is still ahead. There are woods on both sides between the sky courtyard and the fortress, with a grassland open in the center.
In other words, this is the venue for battle. The red servants and the Master Amakusa gathered at the bow of the sky garden.
"The war has begun, Amakusa."
The young man named Shuo Yue stepped on the wall with one foot. He had rarely spoken before, and finally showed an arrogant attitude, looking down at the panicked Milenia Fortress.
Then, he turned to look at Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, his sharp eyes dyed with azure iridescence.
"Just wish you and me all the best."
Staring into eyes that could kill souls, Amakusa looked at Sakuzuki intently for a while before smiling.
"good."
