"Could it be that... we have been monitored by these guys until today?"
Irisviel murmured in pain, Saber also frowned.
Although the opponent is not strong enough, they can approach secretly, and there are a large number of them. Even if she is the one with the strongest combat power among the Servants, this is still a considerable threat.
Moreover, they who have been following the target like shadows have given up the ability to cut off their breath at this moment, watching them approach without fear, which means...
"They're going to get serious."
Saber fell into an unexpected crisis, she couldn't help clenching her silver teeth.
It's just a group of rabble who rely on numbers. If they attack from the front, Saber will definitely not lose. Moreover, they lost in the woods outside Einzbern Castle and were rescued by Lancer's Master. Saber felt a little aggrieved,
But now, what Saber faced was not only this group of Assassins who showed up, but also the other three heroic spirits.
The current Saber has to protect Irisviel, no matter how weak Assassin is, it is still quite a threat to humans.
Even Einzbern's artificial Irisviel, who can use top-notch magic, can't stop Assassin with magic alone, and it's impossible for her to protect herself.
Therefore, if you want to fight while protecting the Master, the large number of enemies becomes a very urgent problem.
How many Assassins can Saber kill with one strike?
No, it's not a question of how many people can be stopped. Even if one person is missed at this time, that person may cause major trauma to Irisviel.
Therefore, the question now is not "can it be stopped", but "can it be solved with one blow".
And the number of Assassins surrounding them is despairingly large.
From Assassin's point of view, they also have the last resort.
Even if it is a group battle, it is a group composed of a limited number of people. The method of exchanging the majority of sacrifices for a small number of survivors to win is tantamount to suicide, so this is a killer that will only be used in the final battle.
Assassins are Servants summoned for the purpose of the Holy Grail. They should not be able to bear being used as pawns of Tokiomi and Archer, but they also cannot defy Command Seals.
For tonight's action, Kotomine Kirei used a Command Spell, ordering them to "victory at all costs".
The command spell is an absolute order for Servants, so they can only choose to follow the order.
Although they were happy to see the face of Saber, who was hailed as the strongest, change drastically, but in fact she was not their target.
The designated attack target is Rider's Master. Although Rider has a powerful Noble Phantasm, his destructive power is directional. If Assassin attacks from all directions, he will definitely be able to attack that timid and short Master.
Yes, this is a moment of danger for the Conqueror Iskandar.
But...why is this Giant Khan Servant still drinking wine leisurely?
Kotomine Kirei, who saw this scene through Assassin, frowned.
Weber, who was by the flower bed in the castle atrium, shouted a little uneasy at this moment.
"...Ri...Rider...Hey, hello..."
Even after hearing Waver's voice, Rider still didn't take any action. He looked at the Assassins around him, his eyes still calm.
"Hey, kid! Don't be so embarrassing, isn't it just that there are guests at the banquet, and the wine is still drinking."
"Where do they look like guests!?"
Rider smiled wryly and sighed, then facing Assassin who surrounded him, he greeted him with a fool-like expression.
"I said everyone, can you restrain your ghosts? My friend was frightened by you."
Saber thought he heard it wrong, and now even Archer frowned.
"Do you still want to invite them to the table? The King of Conquerors?"
"Of course, the king's speech should be heard by all people. Since someone wants to listen to it on purpose, it doesn't matter whether it is an enemy or a friend."
Rider spoke calmly, and after scooping out the red wine in the bottle with a spoon, he raised his hand towards the Aassassins.
Chapter 71 Is it bad to live? (Second more)
"Come, don't be polite. If you want to drink together, you can get the cup yourself. This wine is with your blood."
call out----! !
A sound piercing the air answered Rider.
Only the handle of the spoon remained in Rider's hand, and the spoon part had fallen to the ground. This was done by one of the Assassins, and the wine in the spoon also spilled on the ground of the atrium.
The air suddenly fell silent, and seeing the arrogant attitude of those Assassins, Weber couldn't help opening his mouth.
"..."
Rider looked down at the wine scattered on the ground speechlessly, and the skull masks laughed as if mocking him.
"...Don't say I didn't warn you."
Rider's tone was still calm, but it was clear that the feeling in it had changed, and only the two people who had been drinking with him had noticed this change.
"I said, this wine is your blood... right, since you spilled it on the ground casually, then I will..."
Before he finished speaking, a whirlwind roared.
The wind was hot and dry, and seemed to burn everything, not like the wind in the forest at night, or the wind in the courtyard of a castle.
The wind seemed to come from the desert, roaring in my ears.
