Chapter 151 The Best Exit (Iskander)
That night.

Weber followed Iskandar and came to the location by the creek at noon today.

The riverside was bustling at noon, but now it is deserted and very cold.

There was no audience watching the show, which puzzled Weber, who had witnessed the excitement at noon. No matter what, the final battle should have attracted more people than the competition at noon.

unless……

With doubts in their hearts, Weber and Iskandar arrived in the afternoon, and Uncle Liu told them their location.

Upstream of the stream, a man in plain clothes stood alone.

Just standing there, there is a unique feeling.

Weber thought about this feeling for a long time before he remembered that it was the same feeling he had when he was in the museum looking at portraits of ancient people that had been baptized by time.

The man in front of him was just standing there, visible and probably touchable, but not visible or touchable.

This feeling is very strange.

Iskandar felt the same way, but unlike his master, the strange Iskandar did not stand there hesitating, but walked over and prepared to ask a question.

Seeing this, Waver, who was standing there thinking, followed.

When he was fifty meters away from the man, his previous doubts instantly disappeared.

There is no river nearby, no starry sky in the sky, and no villages around.

'An inherent barrier within an inherent barrier?'

Looking around, it was pitch black except for the light around the person in front of me. He was sitting in front of a square wooden table with chess pieces on it, and opposite him was... Saber?

"Hey, you're here too, Saber!"

"Rider." Saber nodded but didn't say anything.

Iskandar didn't mind. He and Weber walked to the man's side. The wooden table was square, so there were exactly four seats to sit on. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or specially prepared.

As soon as he sat down, Weber felt nothing.

Iskandar understood everything in an instant.

"I see, is that so?" Iskandar scratched his chin, with a brilliant smile on his face, "Caster's Master is really a good person. He actually thought of such a wonderful way for me to exit."

"However, the outcome is still unknown!"

With his hands on the wooden table, Iskandar looked at the chess pieces on the table, glanced at Waver and Saber who didn't understand the situation, and finally, focused his eyes on the man opposite him.

"Han Xin."

It was a very brief speech, just introducing my name.

But Saber and Iskandar, who were sitting next to him, could not ignore the importance of this name.

but……

As my heart felt heavy, doubts grew uncontrollably like mushrooms after rain.

"How can it be……"

Although Saber knew that Han Xin's opponent was not himself, he still found it difficult to accept this reality.

"How could there be so many heroic spirits in the caster's inherent barrier..."

Although I knew from Iskandar's [King's Army] that all the soldiers there were also Heroic Spirits, but...

Different!
Although the soldiers in Iskandar's inherent barrier are heroic spirits, the situation before their eyes is completely different!
Saber felt the same aura from Han Xin as her own, a complete aura that only a servant could have.

Saber cannot accept this reality.

Han Xin glanced at the shocked Saber. He had no intention of paying attention to her, but after thinking about his master, the king, and the gift the king gave him, "Reborn as Han Xin", he finally spoke.

"I'm different from you."

That's it, no further explanation.

He had no obligation and no reason to explain anything to the curious baby Saber like a teacher.

This is not an anime. The villains have to be introduced before using their skills.

"let's start."

Han Xin couldn't stop thinking about "Rebirth: I am Han Xin". Thinking about the plot where he had already stepped on Xiang Yu and swallowed up all of Xiang Yu's forces, he became impatient.

He picked up a white piece from the wooden chessboard and placed it in the center of the board.

It was pitch black all around, with only the bright environment around Han Xin, which changed in an instant.

Pictures floating in the air appeared all around, and the scenery in the pictures included mountains, land, deserts, plains...

"Choose a place for your burial, Iskandar."

"Really?" Iskandar asked, looking at the various combat environments in the pictures. Even though he knew what his next opponent was good at, he still said without fear: "Let's choose the plains."

"it is good."

Han Xin nodded without saying anything nonsense like "You have the courage?"

For him, fighting was like eating and drinking, and nothing was surprising about such ordinary things.

The scene before my eyes changed instantly.

Saber, Iskandar, and Waver stepped on the ground beneath their feet, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This……"

Waver was a little stunned, and Saber beside him didn't look very good either.

Endless plains, thick yellow soil, everything here is not magic, not mysterious, but real!
"What's next?"

Knowing what was going to happen, Iskandar couldn't wait.

"What kind of troops should we use? Your troops or my troops, or..."

"You choose. I'm free."

"How confident! Is this the spirit of a military genius?"

Iskandar drew the sword from his waist and tried it. As he felt, he could deploy his own inherent barrier within Han Xin's inherent barrier.

The endless plain was instantly covered with Iskandar's soldiers.

"My soldiers have arrived, where are yours?"

A horse ran towards Iskandar. Iskandar hugged the horse's neck, rubbed its mane, then jumped on the horse and pointed his sword at Han Xin.

Han Xin did not reply.

next moment,
Behind Han Xin, figures who looked exactly like the Iskander soldiers appeared.

They stood behind Han Xin, and even the expressions on their faces were similar to those of the soldiers summoned by Iskandar.

"Wang, what's going on?"

"Wang, what's going on?"

The soldiers on both sides asked at the same time, and they were all asking Iskandar.

Iskandar frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Han Xin:
"What's going on, are you insulting my soldiers?"

"No," Han Xin replied to Iskandar this time, shaking his head, "I did not insult your soldiers, but I used your soldiers to defeat you."

"what?"

"You want us to follow your orders and attack our king?"

"Did I hear wrongly? Is this person sick?"

It was not just one person, nor ten people, but tens of thousands of soldiers who started arguing and mocking Han Xin after hearing his words.

"Are you going to control them like puppets?"

Iskandar's anger did not subside.

Han Xin didn't care about Iskandar's anger at all:
"The morale and mentality of the soldiers is one of the factors that determine whether or not you can win. It's a bit of a bully to manipulate 100% obedient soldiers to deal with you."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Don't ask Iskandar any more questions when you already know the answer. If you have the courage, give the order."

Han Xin, who was not riding a horse, had to look up when looking at Iskandar, but from beginning to end, he always maintained a "looking down" position.

Iskandar sat on the horse, stroking the horse under his crotch.

He turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him. There was anger on their faces, but more of it was... excitement!

"Hahahaha~"

Iskandar laughed as if he had never been angry the whole time.

He sat on the horse, his tall and straight figure and the help of the horse made it possible for all the soldiers in the field to see him.

He roared loudly:
"soldiers!"

"Put your whole self into the battle!"

"This time, you are lucky. This is a luck that even I don't have!"

"You can fight with yourselves and your king! Fight and kill each other! Fight to determine the winner!"

"So, if you still have selfish thoughts at this moment, it is an insult to both you and me!"

"Fight! Obey the orders of the one who summoned you, fight with yourselves and with me!"

"..."

"Hoohoho!"

"Hoohoho!"

"Hoohoho!"

The soldiers roared and screamed, excited about the upcoming battle.

Waver and Saber watched, felt, and were shocked. Iskandar's broad mind and Han Xin's self-confidence were definitely treasures in this world, and today, they were honored to witness it with their own eyes!
"Then... let's start the fight!"

Iskandar roared, Han Xin nodded and pointed with his finger.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies that were originally close to each other were instantly separated, about a thousand meters apart.

Waver is Iskandar's master, so naturally he follows Iskandar.

Riding on the same horse, Weber sat in front of Iskandar, with thousands of troops behind him and thousands of troops in front of him.

This time, Iskandar did not ask Weber if he wanted to fight with him.

Because they are no longer the strangers they were at the beginning.

Although Weber's teeth were chattering, he had no intention of hiding back and watching the battle.

Waver doesn't know about other masters, but Iskandar's master will stand by Iskandar forever!
only……

Weber, who didn't have clairvoyance but knew a little about magic, looked ahead at the soldiers who were constantly being moved, probably arranging the battle formation, and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Hey!"

Weber trembled and said, "The best strategy now is to launch a surprise attack when the opponent is not prepared, right?"

Waver, who didn't know the art of war but had a brain, made this suggestion.

Iskandar nodded, agreeing with what Waver said.

But he didn't intend to do as Weber said.

"I don't know how the enemy generals will respond to a surprise attack now, but they are already using my soldiers' counterfeits to fight me. If I don't wait for them to be ready, it would be too disrespectful to my soldiers."

Well-reasoned and convincing... What the hell!

Watching the other side deploying their troops, and then looking back at Weber who was doing nothing on his side, he felt really helpless.

"Even if you don't plan on a surprise attack, you should at least think of some strategy! You're not planning on charging straight in any time, are you?"

At the end, Weber himself fell silent.

"That's right!"

Iskandar applies critical damage to Webber's Silence.

Weber: “…”

·
the other side.

Han Xin commanded the generals in front of him in an orderly manner, assigned tasks one by one, and told them what to do next.

The soldiers who had followed Iskandar in battle throughout their lives and continued to follow him even after his death had no intention of showing mercy just because their opponent was Iskandar.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, enough to be called a miracle.

Although he didn't know how he was born, he also didn't know whether he was the real body or the one following Iskandar was the real body.

But, the soldiers of Iskandar who are now under Han Xin's command have only one simple idea in their minds, that is, to overthrow themselves and defeat their king!

It is because I like, admire, worship and believe in my king.

Only by defeating, defeating, trampling and killing their king can these warriors be excited and want to wield the sharp swords in their hands!

Saber silently watched everything in front of her.

I couldn't understand the soldiers' thoughts.

If these soldiers were her, Artoria's soldiers, if these generals were her, Artoria's, Knights of the Round Table.

Saber believed that the scene before her eyes would never happen.

In other words, the scene before our eyes would never happen to Saber.

This is the difference between King Arthur and the King of Conquerors, between Altria and Iskandar.

but……

Saber accepted the scene in front of her instead of questioning it with her own ideas.

This afternoon she talked a lot with Lu Zhi in the room, and during the conversation many of her ideas were overturned by Lu Zhi.

Not with the tyranny of Iskandar, nor with the brutality of Gilgamesh.

Empress Lu refuted Saber's idea with "courtesy" that Saber could accept.

Although deep-rooted ideas cannot be changed overnight, a conversation with Lu Zhi still made Saber see something different.

Therefore,
Saber just watched silently at this time, slightly shocked in her heart but not defeated. This was the result after the change.

After assigning tasks to the soldiers, Han Xin observed the movements of Iskandar.

After finding out that the other party was just standing there preparing and not doing anything, he felt nothing in his heart.

“Raise the flag!”

At a command, the military flag was raised at Han Xin's position.

The densely packed army began to move quickly as the flags were raised.

Upon noticing this, Iskandar drew the sword from his waist, pointed it at the sky, and roared:
"charge!"

·
It was a one-sided battle, there's nothing much to explain.

Your opponent is yourself. You are familiar with his strength, his attacking methods, and even his name, age, and size.

But that's it,
The charging Iskandar army was still being eaten away by Han Xin's army.

They were clearly the same soldiers, clearly the same weapons, clearly the same horses, but... they just couldn't win.

There is no retreat, only moving forward, forward, and forward again!

No mercy, just kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy again!
The setting sun gradually disappears, dusk has fallen, and the setting sun is as red as blood.

Completely equal forces and exactly the same soldiers, under the leadership of different generals, produced completely different results.

now,

Only one tenth of Iskandar's army remained.

now,

More than half of Han Xin's troops were killed.

Iskandar, with only a few hundred soldiers left, was still rushing to the front. Weber, who was riding a horse in front of him, had blood all over his face and a fishy and hot smell in his nose.

After a moment of confusion and stupidity, Waver blocked a sword that was attacking Iskandar, but the price he paid was a deep wound on his right arm that could be seen to the bone.

There is no time for pain, and even less time for sadness.

Waver simply took off his clothes to cover his wound, no longer having the elegance of a magician.

The sound of Iskander's heartbeat was like thunder in Weber's ears, and gradually his heartbeat became synchronized with Iskander's.

Are there any enemies on the left?

do not know.

Are there any enemies on the right?

do not know.

Are there any more soldiers behind? Have all the people died?

do not know.

His sight seemed to be fixed, and the only thing Weber could see was the front!
There is no retreat, no hesitation, no scruples. The only thing to do is to charge, charge yourself, and lead the soldiers behind you to charge!

After charging and charging, they finally reached the enemy camp and met the enemy commander.

Can……

He looked back at the less than twenty soldiers left behind him, saw their injuries, and saw some of them collapsed.

Iskandar, covered in blood and holding a sword, had a smile on his face.

"It's amazing!"

Looking at the imitations of his soldiers, and the fierce and bloodthirsty smiles on their faces, Iskandar felt proud.

"No matter how many times you choose, there is no happier way to leave. Come on!"

Leading less than twenty soldiers behind him, Iskandar launched his final charge.

The setting sun disappeared completely.

The endless plain was covered with corpses, and bright red flowers bloomed on the plain.

Iskandar was lying on the ground.

Around him were the still warm bodies of his soldiers, and in front of him stood his last soldier, who was also his Master in this Holy Grail War.

"Weber, Velvet, are you willing to become my subject?"

Even though both of them already had the answer in their hearts, Iskandar still asked it at the end of his life.

Kneeling on the ground, Waver lay on Iskandar and burst into tears.

He opened his mouth and let the salty tears flow into it. After a long time of hoarseness, his vocal cords began to work normally.

"Nonsense, isn't this a matter of course? You...you are my only king. I am willing to serve you, be loyal to you, follow you, and charge forward with you."

"Please let me have the same dream as you, rider!"

"Really?" Iskandar's eyes slowly closed, and the sound of sea water hitting the rocks rang in his ears.

The Endless Sea is no longer important.

I am already satisfied with this Holy Grail War.

Holy Grail War——Rider Iskandar officially leaves the stage.
