They gathered here with solemn expressions and imposing presence, exuding a chilling aura.
As far as the eye can see, there are people everywhere, heads stretching to the horizon, creating a great sense of oppression.
At least, Marx and Engels were intimidated.
Even when he saw kings like Nero and Gilgamesh, he didn't react much, but now he was somewhat frightened by the imposing aura of this army.
Not to mention Webber, even knowing that they were allies, he was still stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
"This is the culmination of the bonds I formed with my friends as we conquered the world together. My friends, who fought alongside me, pursued the endless sea together, and witnessed my great achievements, have descended here in the distant Hall of Heroes in response to my call, to fight once again for my dominance!" Skandar proudly explained to Waver.
However, a moment later, when he looked at the two men opposite him who had calm expressions, his face immediately turned ugly.
"It seems they have more comprehensive intelligence than I thought."
Hiss!
A black horse neighed as it approached Iskandar; it was his beloved horse, Busifalas.
Iskandar silently stroked its fur, then mounted the horse.
Just as he was about to spur his horse forward, the shocked Webber finally came to his senses and called out to him.
"Rider!"
Iskandar turned around and saw Webber asking with a complicated expression, "You can win, right?" (The flag of death rises!)
By now, he has a pretty good understanding of the current situation.
Our intelligence has been completely obtained by the other side. They came prepared and will not give up easily. One of us must die.
In other words, his journey in the Holy Grail War has entered its final countdown, which makes him very unwilling.
He clearly just wanted to prove himself and make that high and mighty mentor look at him with new respect.
But why?!
Why is he so unlucky?!
The Holy Grail War has only just begun! It's only the first night!
Why is he already being targeted?!
The summoned Servant was a disobedient problem-maker, and was ambushed immediately at the start of the game, putting him in immediate danger of being eliminated. Webber felt that he couldn't be more unlucky.
……
However, if Maren knew that he thought that way, he would definitely give him a piece of his mind.
Looking at this Holy Grail War, apart from Kirei Kotomine who was helped by Gilgamesh, Waver was the luckiest one.
Chapter 33 Two vs. Thirty Thousand!
Was Weber unlucky?
He's having the worst luck ever!
The mentors had just finished arguing, and then, having obtained Command Seals, they stole the artifacts prepared by their arrogant mentors.
Not only did he get revenge for himself, but he also received a free artifact for a special gacha pull, successfully summoning the incredibly powerful Servant Iskandar.
Upon arriving in Fuyuki City, he casually sneaked into someone's house, but his magic skills were lacking, and the elderly couple soon noticed. However, instead of exposing him, they treated him with even greater kindness, truly regarding him as family.
After that, during the Holy Grail War, he did nothing but laze around, with Iskandar taking care of everything for him.
He transformed a brutal war in which magicians manipulated Servants to kill each other into a journey that allowed him to grow spiritually.
In the end, the other participants either died, were maimed, or fell into evil ways, but he was completely unharmed. After returning to the Clock Tower, he was even dragged to inherit (overtime) his mentor's monarchical position, making him arguably the biggest beneficiary of this Holy Grail War.
That's just how he is!
Can this really be considered bad luck?!
It's nothing!
……
Of course, the "afterwards" haven't happened yet, so the good luck has been somewhat diminished.
Even so, Weber can't be considered unlucky.
On the contrary, the tutor he tricked, Professor Kenneth, was the one who was truly unlucky.
In the original work, the substitute Servant is the 'Green' Warrior: Duo, who has completely captivated his fiancée.
The current substitute Servant is Mordred, who is directly plotting with his fiancée how to betray him.
As expected of a victim character designed by Gen Urobuchi himself, his victim mentality is incredibly strong!
Director Ken is such an unlucky guy. Whether in the original work or in fan fiction, he is always a victim. He is born to be incompatible with the Holy Grail War, and he will be unlucky if he is involved in anything.
Faced with Master's question, Iskandar answered without hesitation, smiling, "I believe in my Legion."
It's just a matter of belief; the actual situation depends on what tricks the other side will pull, so it's all still uncertain.
""
Weber understood the implication, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter a single one.
He hasn't experienced enough yet. He's only grown a little after being enlightened by Iskandar. He's still a big kid at heart.
After a moment of silence, Weber raised his hand, just as he had in the original story.
"Command with a Command Spell..."
All three Command Seals were used up, temporarily suppressing Iskandar's injuries (they were too severe to be healed directly) and granting him some enhancements.
"Oh dear, the spoils are gone after all."
Nero, watching the interaction between the two from afar on the opposite side of the army, sighed upon seeing Waver's actions.
"As expected, and we don't lack that kind of thing."
Marne shrugged, indicating that he didn't care and wasn't surprised by Weber's actions.
Although Weber is a bit impulsive now, he can also make some correct choices calmly and decisively at times, already showing some of the demeanor of the future El-Melloi II.
He's actually capable of using up three Command Seals in one go during a disadvantageous battle.
"So, shouldn't we start making preparations on our side as well?"
"Is it necessary? Besides, he's already here."
While the two were chatting, Iskandar, who had already prepared, rode his horse to the front of the battle.
With an army of 30,000 facing two opponents, the overwhelming numerical advantage did little to reassure the king.
The reason was that the two men's expressions were too calm, as if they didn't care that the 30,000 people here didn't exist.
The king took a deep breath and shouted to his subordinates, "Warriors! Our enemy today is a heroic spirit who has left his mark on history and still dares to challenge us despite possessing all our intelligence. What should we do?!"
"Fight!!! (Charge!)"
Thirty thousand roars converged, forming a thunderous howl that resounded through the heavens.
"Very good!" Skandar laughed, drawing his weapon and pointing it at the two opposite him.
"Let these two brave warriors who dared to declare war on us experience firsthand the strength of our legion!"
"Rampage it!"
Having said that, he took the lead and charged at the two of them.
"Haaah!!!"
Thirty thousand soldiers followed closely behind, charging forward alongside their king and their monarch.
"Whoosh! How terrifying, this oppressive feeling sends chills down my spine."
Compared to the soaring morale of the opposing team, the two on their side looked relaxed, and Ma En even had the mind to whistle and sigh.
“Player, you don’t look scared at all,” Lu said, patting him on the shoulder with amusement.
If you're just expressing your feelings, why make it sound like you're being sarcastic?
Ma En shrugged and said, "Well, I'm used to it. I used to see even more terrifying scenes every day."
Back in the imaginary space, wasn't the endless sea of black mud and the absolutely silent void even more terrifying than this?
Marx and Engels, however, lived in that environment for five years.
Even if he felt immense pressure now, and even if he was still somewhat nervous, his expression remained largely unchanged.
"It's coming, so you'd better concentrate."
Nero, seeing the approaching army, quickly reminded Marne.
The main character this time is not her, but the Master, Marne.
"Hmm." En nodded, his expression turning serious as he looked at the approaching army.
He raised a hand and said to the army, "Well then, let's start with this one."
"The heavens are moving!"
Chapter 34: The Blooming Fantasy Construction, the King's Army Annihilated
"The heavens are moving!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
As Iskandar charged forward, he looked up and saw a dark cloud that had appeared out of nowhere.
Iskandar was certain that this was definitely caused by the two people opposite him, because there was no such thing as dark clouds in his inherent boundary that manifested the image in his mind.
Just when he thought it was some kind of magic trick like lightning strike, a red light flashed in the dark clouds.
next moment!
Then a large, exquisitely crafted meteorite (rock cube) resembling a mechanical clasp burst forth from the dark clouds, hurtling towards the army with blazing flames.
"Get out of the way!" Skandar roared.
