Chapter 14: Bai Song: I have General Tom!
Looking at Tom and Bai Song flying in the air, as if imprinted on the moon, all three of them were dumbfounded.
At this moment, it felt like eternity.
However, after only five seconds of floating, Tom and Bai Song began to plummet rapidly, seemingly disregarding the constant of gravity. They descended towards the ground at an incredibly fast speed. In theory, such acceleration would not be possible in such a short amount of time.
"Boom!!!!"
With a thunderous impact, it felt as if the entire mountain was shaking, and even the three individuals on the ground felt unstable.
But it was merely an illusion; only the camera or perspective was shaking.
However, for Bai Song and Tom, the force of the impact was real. They had created a deep hole in the ground, and the outline of the deep pit matched the shape of Bai Song held by Tom.
"What's going on?" Waver looked bewildered at the deep pit before him. He realized that he was increasingly unable to understand the Holy Grail War.
The other two, who were originally about to fight, also turned their gaze towards the deep pit. Alexander, uncertain, said, "Probably... it's a Servant, right?"
After a few seconds, a hand covered in blue fur reached out from the deep pit, grabbing the edge of the hole. The owner of the hand was Tom, who was now using one hand to pull himself out of the pit while holding Bai Song with the other, attempting to climb out with his short legs.
"He's coming out...!" Watching this hand, Waver couldn't help but swallow nervously and took a step back in fear.

The power unleashed during their mere landing surpassed the impact Alexander had experienced when he landed. The entire mountain seemed to tremble!
In contrast to Waver's fearful state, Alexander, after a brief moment of confusion, became highly motivated for battle. He couldn't wait to engage in combat with them.
However... when Tom truly emerged from the deep pit, Alexander fell into a brief moment of contemplation. "A cat?"
"The commotion just now was caused by this cat?!" Hesitation filled Hephæstion's mind as well. She had initially thought the man was the Servant, riding on a cat... Well, even though it seemed strange to think that way, it was still easier to accept than a cat holding a person.
But now, it was evident that the cat had crawled out of the deep pit before the man, and even after coming out, it was trying to pull the man out. It was clear who the Servant was... Not really.
She witnessed it with her own eyes. The cat and the man fell from the sky at supersonic speed and based on the shape of the hole, it was evident that they had crashed horizontally onto the ground.
After experiencing that horrifying impact, not to mention surviving, she couldn't even see a single scratch on the man's body!
She had some understanding of a mage's resilience to beatings, so she knew very well that hardly any mage could survive an impact with the ground at such acceleration, let alone the man who seemed completely unscathed!
That man... had some serious skills!
"Phew... phew... holy shit... I'm still alive!" Bai Song sat on the ground, recalling what had just happened, and even now, him legs were still trembling.
At that moment of impact, Bai Song thought he was done for.

Fortunately, it seemed that he hadn't suffered any injuries, which he attributed to having Tom beside him. If it were a normal person, they wouldn't just be sitting hime feeling scared; they would probably have turned into a pile of matter on the ground.
But wait, normal people wouldn't instantly accelerate to this extent from a height of just a few dozen meters, would they?
"Tom..."
Hearing Bai Song calling its name, Tom suddenly jerked, and the lines of its trembling body were clearly visible in the air. It quickly placed its hands behind its back, smiled awkwardly but politely, and kept its eyes firmly on the ground while swaying a bit.
Seeing Tom's reaction, Bai Song didn't know what to say to it. "It's alright."
Standing up, Bai Song's eyes met with the three onlookers beside him, and instantly, the atmosphere became tense.
Bai Song realized that he seemed to have intruded into the midst of a battle and unintentionally interrupted their confrontation. Inadvertently, all eyes were now focused on him.
As a former haunted house worker, Bai Song was confident that he wasn't socially anxious; he could even be considered half of a socialite. But at this moment, under the gaze of the three individuals, Bai Song felt a bit flustered.
God, his original idea was just to quietly follow the lightning in the sky and sneak a peek, assess the situation, and if the battle was intense, take advantage of the chaos. If the battle was just a minor skirmish, he would simply slip away.
But now, things had turned out differently. he had become the center of attention.
Taking a deep breath, disregarding any concerns about his dignity, Bai Song promptly hid behind Tom and began observing the people present.
Although the appearance of characters in the 2D and 3D worlds may be different, Bai Song can still recognize the identities of several people present based on their clothing. First, there are the two Servants who were originally in a standoff, undoubtedly the young emperor (TN: young iskandar but in wiki he was named Alexander) and Hephaistion.
And the short man trembling on the horse is clearly Waver; his outfit is identical to that in the original work.
"Today, I have the fortune of encountering two legendary Heroic Spirits at the same time! What a lucky day for me!" Alexander exclaimed with fanaticism, looking towards Bai Song's direction and preparing for battle once again.
Seeing that Alexander seemed eager to fight the formidable-looking new Servant who had just appeared, Waver was frightened, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He quickly tried to stop Alexander, "Hey, hey, hey! Seriously? At this point, you still want to fight?!"
"Of course, I came here to participate in the Holy Grail War."
In Alexander's view, compared to Heracles, who was unwilling to engage in battle with him, Bai Song, who had just arrived from a distance and forcefully intervened, seemed more suitable as an opponent.
Moreover, the earth-shattering impact from the recent fall had truly excited Alexander.
Seeing that Alexander seemed ready to come and fight, Bai Song didn't have much time to think. He quickly urged Tom to prepare for the confrontation.
"Tom, let's go!!!"
