On the rooftop of his hotel, Kenneth's expression immediately darkened when he saw Saber's move.
He glanced at Saber, then at his own Lancer, and was instantly filled with rage.
The gap between my Servant and Saber is too great. They are both one of the three great knight classes, yet the difference in strength and Noble Phantasm is so huge.
He himself was a genius among geniuses, but his servants were utter trash among trash.
"waste!"
After saying that, Kenneth ignored Lancer and returned to his room.
Lancer looked solemnly at Saber on the distant lake. It turned out that not only were the opponent's stats high, but the power of her Noble Phantasm was also immense.
In that case, is it really possible for me to take down the opponent's head in a one-on-one fight?
After a series of setbacks in the past two days, he developed a strong distrust of his own abilities.
On the Sky Chariot
"Kid, it's time for us to leave."
Rider spoke, then drove his chariot away.
"Rider, can we really defeat Saber and her Master?"
"What? Kid, are you scared?"
This time, Weber nodded without any stubbornness. In the past, even if he was so scared that he wet his pants, he would never admit that he was afraid.
"Hmm... It's understandable that you're scared. Not only are you scared, but I'm a little scared too. But don't worry, although that boy acted a bit cruel tonight, he's still quite principled. The proof is that you're still alive."
"What do you mean?"
Weber was a little confused and didn't understand what Rider meant.
"It means exactly what it says. Think about it, given the strength they displayed last night and tonight, if they wanted to kill you, would you still be alive?"
Upon hearing this, Weber immediately shook his head. Although he knew some magic, his strength lay in research, and he was not good at combat magic at all.
The boy who looked even younger than himself was best at fighting, and his powerful moves were simply devastating.
If the other party really wanted to kill me, I probably wouldn't even survive a second.
"That's it. You stood in front of him with me last night. Although I feel a little ashamed, I couldn't have stopped him if he wanted to kill you."
Rider scratched his head sheepishly.
Weber then remembered that he had been standing in front of that monster yesterday!
He was so terrified that his instincts almost erased the memory.
Looking back now, he is truly terrified.
"Actually, it wasn't just you. Even I, Lancer, and Gilgamesh, if the other side had suddenly attacked us yesterday when we were caught off guard, we might have been killed."
"Looking back now, the main reason we weren't killed was that he never intended to kill us in the first place."
"I didn't intend to kill you? Why?"
If not killing the Master was an act of mercy or a sign of contempt, since the Master wasn't a significant threat, then not killing the Servant is unacceptable, because only by killing the Servant can one win the Holy Grail War and seize the Holy Grail.
"You're asking me? Who should I ask? I'm not even familiar with him, how could I possibly know everything?"
"However, it seems that he intends to hand us over to Saber to deal with, because he originally had no intention of participating in the battle. It was only after we and Gilgamesh appeared, and because Gilgamesh was so foul-mouthed, that he took the initiative to teach us a lesson."
Indeed, Lu Li's actions that time felt more like a lesson than an attempt to kill them. As a conqueror king who had fought for many years, he did not sense any killing intent from Lu Li.
"You saw that giant magic trick he unleashed just now, like a railgun, right?"
Webber nodded; it was that magic trick that left him feeling terrified.
“He deliberately missed just now; otherwise, Caster would have been killed without Saber’s attack.”
"Deliberately missed?"
He thought it was just because that powerful magic was difficult to control that it turned out that way.
Why would he do that?
"Didn't I say that he wanted to leave the matter of the Heroic Spirits to them to handle?"
"Based on his behavior, it's possible he's not even that interested in the Holy Grail. Think about it, if you had his power, what would you do?"
"々Of course, we'll wipe them all out!!...??"
Weber paused for a moment after saying this.
Yes! The other party is just eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and has no intention of looking for other Masters and Servants at all. Fuyuki City is not that big, so it is easy to find them if we really want to.
After all, the Master's Command Seals are all receptive.
"Right? For us, this is a war, but for him it might just be a game."
Rider's analysis was well-reasoned and even completely accurate. It's remarkable that he was able to observe so much from such limited information.
He may seem silly and clumsy on the surface, but when it comes to intelligence, Rider is definitely one of the most outstanding Servants.
"So you don't need to worry at all. As long as you're not utterly wicked, he shouldn't harm you."
"And what about you (Li Hao)?"
Weber looked at Rider.
"Me? My fate was already decided the moment I was summoned."
He is a Heroic Spirit, and he is also the King of Conquerors. He either lives by seizing the Holy Grail, or he falls on the way to seizing the Holy Grail. There is no third option.
Kiritsugu Emiya lit a cigarette for himself.
“Kiritsugu…”
Irisviel was worried when she saw her husband's worried expression.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Kiritsugu Emiya waved his hand and said.
How could nothing be wrong? Whether it was Saber's Excalibur or the massive magic that Lu Li just unleashed, which was like a railgun, both were powerful enough to be considered anti-city Noble Phantasms.
"Maiya, contact Tohban Shichin and tell him that the Einzbern family has agreed to a temporary alliance."
"yes!".
Chapter 180 The Feast at Hongmen
Yuanban returned home at the appointed time.
He is now starting to question whether it was right or wrong to be enemies with Lu Li.
No, he had no choice at all. If he had known that the other party had such great strength, he should have just gotten an ordinary Heroic Spirit.
Who would have thought that the legendary King Arthur was actually a woman, and a very young and beautiful one at that?
"teacher!".
"Kiri! Is there something you need?"
"The Einzbern family has sent a message saying they agree to the alliance."
"The Einzbern family has agreed? That's good news."
Although it was good news, Tokimitsu Tohsaka couldn't get excited. After seeing what happened today, it was unlikely that the three Servants gathered together would be a match for Saber and Riku.
"Ok?"
"What's wrong, Kirei?"
"Lancer's Master has also agreed to the alliance."
"Four already?"
Now he has four heroic spirits on his side, giving him about a 50% chance of winning.
"Still no news from Rider?"
"For now... we've got it. Rider's Master has also agreed."
Hearing this, 253 finally perked up a little. He hadn't expected to get a reply so quickly, but it was normal. After seeing the power that Lu Li and Saber had displayed tonight, they had fully realized the danger.
If we don't band together now, we won't have the chance to band together again.
“Very good. Inform them to come to the Holy Church tomorrow to formulate a battle plan.”
To coordinate well, it's essential to understand the situation of each Heroic Spirit, which will greatly increase your chances of winning.
Over the next few days, the group busied themselves with planning. Lu Li continued to take Saber out for food, drinks, and fun, treating the Holy Grail War as a vacation as well.
A few days later, Lu Li received a message from Yuan Ban Shichen, inviting him to Yuan Ban's house for a chat.
Upon seeing the letter, Lu Li's lips curled up slightly.
It seems they're all ready. Well, he's been in this world long enough; it's time for him to go back.
The following evening, Lu Li led Saber toward the Tohsaka family home.
Just as they were about to reach the Tonosaka residence, a figure appeared and blocked their path.
"Lancer?!"
The person who arrived was Lancer.
"Saber, do you dare to continue our battle from that day?"
"Is it something I can't have?"
Saber will not be afraid.
"Hey! I thought you guys had been discussing this for so many days and would be preparing something? I didn't expect you to come up with such a simple strategy?"
Lu Li said with a smirk.
"The strategy is simple, but it is the most effective way."
Lancer doesn't deny it. On one hand, his chivalrous principles don't allow him to deny it, and on the other hand, it's almost a given fact, so denying it would be pointless and would only lower his own character.
"Saber, do you dare to continue our unfinished battle?"
"Master?"
Saber wanted to fight him, but she needed to consider Lu Li's intentions. Besides, this was clearly a diversionary tactic. If Lu Li were just an ordinary person, she would never go, but Lu Li was far stronger than herself, so she didn't need to worry.
Lu Li instructed, "Go ahead, just call my name if you encounter any danger."
"Yes!"
When Lancer saw that Saber had agreed to continue fighting him, his eyes darkened slightly. To be honest, he didn't want Saber to agree, because he knew that Saber was about to face an attack, which was not in line with the spirit of chivalry.
But it was the monarch's order, even using a Command Seal, so he had no choice but to do it.
Swish!
Lancer leaped up quickly and then left.
Saber immediately gave chase.
Lu Li stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened by a servant.
Lu Li entered the Yuanban family's manor under the guidance of a servant.
To Lu Li's surprise, Tokimitsu Tohsaka was leading his family, Aoi Tohsaka, Rin Tohsaka, and Sakura Tohsaka, to stand at the door to greet him.
"Welcome, Mr. Lu Li!"
Yuanban Shichen bowed and smiled as he spoke.
"Brother Lu Li!"
"Master!"
Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka were also very happy to see Lu Li. Because the Holy Grail War was going on these days, they did not disturb Lu Li.
"Rin, Sakura, why are you back?"
Yuanban Shichen smiled and said, "I was the one who called them back. Now the Holy Church has made a new decision: the family will not be implicated. Otherwise, they will face punishment from the Holy Church."
