Chapter 540 Causes, Consequences, and Accidents
"You're saying that Shuoyue is likely to take action before the official war begins?"
That was after the blue team retreated and the black team reached an agreement with the red team. Sieg knocked on Chiron's door and told him what he thought.
"Although there is no evidence, that's what I think." Looking at the slightly surprised sage, the android girl said seriously, "The teacher I know, Shuo Yue, will never let go of an opportunity to weaken our power."
Chiron was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's hard for me to believe that a hero who is willing to accept Achilles' challenge and decide his identity as a warrior would assassinate before the announced decisive moment... But I also I believe you, Sieg. After all, among us, you were the one closest to Shuo Yue. No one knows the teacher better than the students. "
As a hero, he instinctively hoped that the person who defeated his disciple would be an upright hero; but as a strategist, Chiron had to admit that decapitation tactics were the fastest and most efficient way to end the war.
"Then let's do it." After a while, Chiron came up with a countermeasure, "In order to prevent Shuo Yue from causing damage in Milenia Fortress, if he does show up, I will be responsible for leading him away. Target The land... is in the large forest in the west. At the same time, I will pass the information to you through some methods, and you will gather the servants and masters to encircle and suppress it."
In order to avoid Shuo Yue's possible spy, Chiron and Siege did not tell anyone about the matter. Instead, they discussed the countermeasure repeatedly. After getting the final result, Siege stood up and wanted to leave. Here, At that moment, Chiron called to him.
"Although it's very presumptuous, I have a question that I would like you to answer, Sieg."
"I'm very happy, please tell me, Lord Chiron." Sieg sat back on the stool again, with a well-behaved look on his face.
So Chiron said bluntly:
"The person who rescued you from your tragic fate, saved your life, and guided your growth was not us, but Shuo Yue."
"And I can see that you're still grateful to him."
The geese flew high in the sky, the sun cast its last ray of sunshine on the world, and the candles placed on the windowsill were filled with candle tears. At some point, Chiron's voice was also dyed with the hazy color of sunset:
"In that case, why did you choose to help us?"
This was just a simple question, not mixed with calculation or consideration. Despite this, Sieg still cheered up and answered seriously:
"Because I have received the teaching of freedom - that was the first lesson Teacher Shuo Yue taught me."
"I returned to the Holy Grail War to save artificial talents. No matter what happened, who became my opponent, or who left my side, my goal will not change. This is to make decisions based on my own will. The choice is the freedom I insist on.”
"Really? It seems that the Master's act of signing a contract with the androids against all opinions really helped." Chiron said with a smile.
"Well, I'm very grateful for your help, Sir Chiron, and everyone who supports us...including Teacher Shuoyue," Sieg also smiled, recalling her gentle yet cold teacher.
"And... even if I stand opposite him, as long as that is the answer I come up with on my own, the teacher must be happy in his heart even if he doesn't say it."
I am happy with the students' growth, and feel relieved that the students can finally step out of his shadow and fly high.
Perhaps every teacher is expecting students to surpass and defeat themselves. This is the greatest reward for a teacher. As a student, you should also use outstanding performance to prove that you are strong enough that you no longer need the teacher's care.
"What a beautiful answer, Sieg." Chiron looked at Sieg's face, and suddenly felt some inexplicable regrets in his heart.
If Shuoyue had not disrupted this war, Achilles would still be the servant of the red side, and he would still be fighting for the black side...
Can he, as a teacher, verify how far that student has grown?
————
Time returns to the present, in the great western forest.
Except for Amakusa and Semiramis who have not yet joined together, all the other participants in the battle gathered, including the judge Joan of Arc, the swordsman Mordred, the archer Atalanta, the spearman Karna and the cavalry Astor. The Fus spread out, letting out their own perceptions to the maximum extent, and bit by bit, they searched for Shuo Yue's possible hiding place.
"Thinking about it, I suddenly feel that there are so few people..." With the help of the familiar thrown into the sky, Shishi Jie looked down at the five followers who were slowly tightening like a net, and suddenly muttered, "Obviously there were fourteen at the beginning. Servants, or even more?"
"The red Caster, the black Saber and Assassin were absorbed by Sakatsuki. The black Lancer, the black Berserker, the black Caster, and the red Rider all died at the hands of Sakatsuki. The red Berserker Spartacus self-destructed." Corless sighed, "Unknowingly, so many Servants have been sacrificed in the Holy Grail War."
At this moment, a heavy voice joined the conversation.
"Please wait a moment, I will update the information now..." The voice of the android girl with white hair and red eyes was low. Corless noticed that his sister was shaking her shoulders and trying hard to suppress a small whimper.
"The Black Archer and the great sage Chiron also died."
As the Judge, Jeanne must have discovered this fact. Her golden figure paused slightly, but she continued to search. At the same time, the Masters also recovered from their astonishment. Corles stepped forward quickly and whispered to comfort his sad sister.
"In other words, the enemy who killed Archer, Shuoyue, did not run far away." Lion Jie lit the cigarette with a melancholy look, and the gray mist dispersed. The expression on his face was unclear, "It would be great if everything could be ended here."
"The teacher is not so easy to defeat." Sieg shook his head. When Fiore was depressed, she became the leader of the Masters. "The idea of Lord Chiron and I is not to kill Shuoyue, but to use Shuoyue as bait to attract as many enemy servants as possible, and then eliminate them one by one."
If the leader is trapped in the siege, the blue servants will definitely not sit idly by, but not everyone has the means of escape like Shuoyue. Maybe they have a good power, but with the combined efforts of five servants, they are definitely not opponents.
Yes, Chiron and Sieg had the same idea of weakening the enemy's power, but Shuoyue's decisiveness was far beyond imagination. Just because of a misjudgment, Chiron did not wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and his soul core was pierced and he left the scene early.
However, with the time he used his life to delay, this trick also played the desired effect-
"There is a magic fluctuation, I caught you, Shuoyue!"
Astolfo, whose luck level is as high as A+, used the treasure 'Magic Universal Strategy Book' to detect the traces of replacement magic. He took out the second treasure 'Magic Flute of Arousing Panic' without hesitation, puffed up his cheeks, and blew it with all his strength.
Roar, roar--
The magic sound that was almost like the roar of a dragon or the neighing of a divine horse turned into an invisible wave and spread out, trees fell, and leaves fell. In the midst of this, a figure covered his ears and had to retreat from the hidden state.
At the moment when the Moon appeared, except for Ta Miao and Jeanne, everyone else acted without hesitation. Mordred roared and threw out the magic cannon. Karna started with a glaring look, and the immortal blade in his hand also condensed magic flames, as if he was going to throw the national treasure to clean up the ground. Even Astolfo pulled the reins, bravely rode on the back of the Hippogriff, and shouted to attack.
In an instant, the three sides surrounded him!
The Moon, who was temporarily deafened by the magic flute, floated in the air and seemed unable to move. However, different energy streams swept by, and the afterimage was instantly torn apart. The real body flashed to the other side, but he did not hear the whistling wind behind him. Ah Fu rode the Hippogriff and hit him on the waist!
Bang!
The black-robed youth flew out and fell into the bushes, the leaves rustled. Even though Shuoyue had many skills, he was somewhat powerless in the face of the three aggressive servants, not to mention that he was taken advantage of by Ah Fu, and the black side even used the formation to block the forest, so it was impossible to escape.
"There is no other way..." Shuoyue whispered. Just when he decided to use the command spell to transfer himself away, the forest at night was suddenly filled with gray fog, and the young man recovered a little bit of hearing and caught the serious shouting of the little girl.
"Don't be afraid, Daddy, Little Jack and Mom are here to help you!"
"Little Jack?" Shuoyue was slightly surprised. At the same time, he saw Sixth Master Lingxia waving at him not far away, "Sixth Master Lingxia, why are you here?"
"Mr. Shakespeare said you were in danger, so we came to help you."
Lingxia was still as gentle as ever, but she had lost the power of the black magician and looked much weaker in the dark: "But there are so many servants. Mr. Shuoyue, you really caused a big disaster. I must criticize you with Miss Altria when I go back. Now, while Little Jack is distracting, let's evacuate quickly."
Shakespeare, this funny man...
Shuoyue could almost see the smile of the great writer's conspiracy. Before he could explain anything, Sixth Master Lingxia grabbed his hand and ran with him to the other end of the forest.
The fog dissipated, and the black servant looked around, but there was no trace of Shuoyue.
"Damn, chasing!"
