Chapter 108 You are insulting the heroic spirit!

Watching Jianchen Matou walking away with his two servants.

under the moonlight,
Waver and his Servant Iskandar were speechless for a moment.

Weber was extremely envious. He envied the seven or eight-year-old kid who had the talent that he didn't have, as well as the confidence that he cared about the most.

These two things, one was derived by Weber, and the other was felt by Weber.

At this age, Waver could not think of anything other than an extremely high talent in magic that could make a proud man like Kenneth give up the Holy Grail War and hand over his Servant.

And self-confidence,
This was the most real feeling that Waver and Kenshin Matou had after this contact.

It is a kind of self-confidence that is not afraid of anything, "no matter how hard the wind blows, I will remain strong."

And this is exactly what Weber lacks.

However, what Waver didn't know was that not long ago, Kenshin Matou was still a poor child who was always worried and had to flatter the old pervert Matou Zouken every day in order to survive.

Iskandar's idea was much simpler.

He admired Jianchen Matou's confidence and fearlessness, as if everything was under his control.

This made him think that in addition to Gilgamesh, who was difficult to resolve and had little chance of winning, there was another interesting opponent in this war.

Yes, he is never afraid of failure, nor is he afraid of challenges. When facing difficulties, the first word that this rugged man thinks of is "conquer!"

"Hahahaha~"

The two were silent for a long time, and it was Iskandar's laughter that broke the silence under the moonlight.

"What an interesting Master! My blood is boiling."

After a long silence, Waver smiled from the bottom of his heart when he heard Iskandar's silly voice again.

But soon, his face fell:
"Hey! Why are you still laughing?"

"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Don't you see? That's the entire arm covered with Command Seals!"

"Ahhhh!"

"Why did it become like this!"

Waver sighed from the bottom of his heart, but he seemed to be trying to hide his shyness.

For this,

Iskandar had nothing to worry about.

The phrase "great wisdom appears foolish" is not appropriate but not bad when used to describe Iskandar, as he has his own unique wisdom.

"Since he revealed the Command Seals that should have been used to decide the outcome in front of us, that means he has no intention of using them against us, right?"

Touching his chin, Iskandar expressed his views.

Ignoring Weber's shocked expression, he continued:
"The reason for doing that cannot be explained by confidence alone. Is there any special method?"

"Lancer's true name and Noble Phantasm have already been revealed in the battle with Saber. In other words, Lancer is not the trump card for the decisive battle. Throwing aside the Command Seals that have been revealed, the only one left is Caster!"

He stretched out his left hand, and quickly smashed down with his clenched fist. As Iskandar realized what was going on, a snapping sound was heard.

Weber stood there in a daze.

He was convinced by Iskandar.

"Caster?" A shadow also shrouded Weber's heart.

After all, being powerful is scary, but unknown power is even scarier!
"Snapped!"

The slap of love, which Weber was already familiar with but unwilling to be exposed to, once again made him stagger.

"Hey!" he growled in dissatisfaction.

Iskandar, the instigator of all this, smiled back:
"Let's go. How can we go to a cocktail party empty-handed? Let's go buy some good wine before the hotel closes!"

A hearty smile, which seemed to be able to dispel all unhappiness, hung on Iskandar's face.

Every time he saw this smile, Waver felt at ease.

However, this time, he did not directly agree with Iskandar's words. Instead, he stood in place and raised his left hand with four Command Seals. "In the name of the Command Seals, restore your magic power, Rider!"

A red light flashed, and the light of magic shone on Iskandar.

He clenched his fist and drew the sword from his waist.

"What a pleasure! Caster's Master has great taste. Let's drink tonight!"

The sky responded to Iskandar's mood, thunder roared, and the sacred bull descended. Iskandar stepped onto the chariot and pulled Weber up.

"Let's go and prepare gifts for the cocktail party!"

·
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Kenshin Matou's plan.

But only Emiya Kiritsugu, Mrs. Irisviel and Saber, the three people from the Einzbern camp, did not know that a king's cocktail party would be held on their territory tonight.

A meeting was being held in the lobby of the castle.

The main members of this meeting were Emiya Kiritsugu, Mrs. Irisviel, Kozan Maiya, and Saber.

among them,

Most of the time, it was Emiya Kiritsugu who did the talking, and Mrs. Irisviel who smoothed things over.

Maiya and Saber remained silent.

Four people stood around the long table in the conference room, and Emiya Kiritsugu was writing down the news about the remaining Masters and Servants.

{Tousaka Time}:

The current head of the Tousaka family, a traditional magician who does not get along well with his servants.

{Servant Gilgamesh}:
The ancient heroic king, the king of Mesopotamia, his Noble Phantasm should have mastered the abilities of all Noble Phantasms, and he is extremely threatening. Looking at the news about Gilgamesh, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but frown.

"What do you think about the Tohsaka family's camp?"

He let out a breath and looked around at the people present without having much expectation.

"The Tousaka family's servants are very strong."

Even though she was very dissatisfied with Emiya Kiritsugu, Saber still spoke in order to realize her long-cherished wish.

But her words, instead of easing the relationship with her Master which had reached a freezing point, made Emiya Kiritsugu frown.

"Can you be more specific? Or do you have any magic weapon that can defeat the enemy, Saber?"

"..."

Saber was silent.

She has the determination to face Gilgamesh, and the faith to live and die with her Master, but...

Facing an exceptional Servant, she was not sure of winning.

However, she had other ideas.

"The master of Caster challenged Gilgamesh in front of everyone, and he was also the first person to say Gilgamesh's real name."

Saber looked around at everyone present and continued:
"I want to first rule out the possibility that he is an idiot. Then, there are only two reasons why he provoked Gilgamesh so much."

"One, he really hates Gilgamesh, or his servants have some special connection with Gilgamesh, or even hatred."

“That can be ruled out.”

Looking at the heroic Saber, Mrs. Irisviel's eyes sparkled as she explained:
"Caster's true identity is Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty of the ancient Eastern country. He cannot possibly have any connection with Gilgamesh. It should just be the relationship between Caster and his master."

Hearing this, Saber nodded:
"As Irisviel said, leaving aside the Servants, the Caster Master's actions could only be due to his own reasons. Assuming he is not arrogant or stupid, he..."

"Must he have the confidence to defeat Gilgamesh?"

Maiya, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, interrupting Saber's words.

Saber didn't care about this.

Everyone looked in the direction of Emiya Kiritsugu. Although they didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that this man was their backbone.

The excitement they expected did not appear on Emiya Kiritsugu's face.

His expression, on the contrary, was a little...ugly?
"What Saber said makes sense."

Emiya Kiritsugu first affirmed Saber's opinion, but no one present cared.

Even Saber, who was affirmed, felt nothing.

All she wanted was to win and hold the Holy Grail.

"Can……"

Emiya Kiritsugu said with some melancholy:

"The master of the caster will not deal with Gilgamesh first as we expected."

Everyone was silent, agreeing with Emiya Kiritsugu's statement.

Although I don't know where the Caster Master's confidence comes from, for an enemy of Gilgamesh's level, it would be more appropriate to put him last no matter how you look at it.

After all, everyone knows that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

After Emiya Kiritsugu's speech, there was a moment of silence in the room.

but,

Soon, the person who caused the silence broke it.

Emiya Kiritsugu pointed to the other side of the table, where it read:

Weber:

The students of the Clock Tower do not have any magical fighting skills.

{Servant Iskandar}:
The King of Conquerors, who descended as a rider, controls the chariot and the inherent barrier.

The information on the paper was still very brief, but no one present took it lightly.

In addition to Emiya Kiritsugu and Maiya, Saber and Mrs. Irisviel have all witnessed the might of Iskandar's King's Army.

Saber looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, but found that he had no intention of even looking at her.

She lowered her head, her face gloomy.

As expected, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately said something she couldn't accept:

"Since the rider is difficult to deal with, I will deal with his master and then move on to the next enemy."

Emiya Kiritsugu's tone was calm, but Saber was not prepared to remain silent.

Even though she knew that her words would make it difficult for Irisviel, she still spoke. She was King Arthur, and she would not do anything that went against her own ideals, because at the age of fifteen, she had carried the entire country on her shoulders with her weak body.

"Master, people like you are really... to what extent can you be despicable and shameless?"

Even though she already knew what Emiya Kiritsugu would do, when she actually heard those words coming out of Emiya Kiritsugu's mouth, Saber still couldn't suppress her anger.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you are insulting the Heroic Spirits!"

"Heroic Spirits are summoned to shed blood for you. In order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed in the fight for the Holy Grail, to minimize the sacrifices, to replace thousands of troops with one person, to bear the fate of the battle... This is the meaning of our existence."

"But why are you unwilling to leave the battle to me? Emiya Kiritsugu, do you not trust the Heroic Spirits and do not believe that I can win for you?"
