Chapter 26: ·Surprise attack, Zhang Jiao playing with guns

(Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu)

In fact, equipping the Gatling gun was an inspiration Waver Velvet got from yesterday's video for Kariya Matou.

After learning about the Berserker Lancelot's skills, Kariya Matou had an idea.

Since he could pilot a fighter jet, he could surely use other thermal weapons as well.

Thus, he spent some effort to get this Gatling gun for Lancelot. ===== CHAPTER 51 =====

Previously, Kariya Matou had been hiding in the shadows, waiting to see how things would develop, but he couldn't hold back after seeing Gilgamesh get injured.

He had seen Gilgamesh's strength and knew it would be difficult for Lancelot to defeat him.

Since that was the case, he would seize the opportunity of the opponent's injury and Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take him down in one go.

"Bang!"

Just then, a bullet shot toward Feng Xi's head, but Zhang Jiao summoned a long spear and deflected it with a single swing.

"You petty coward, daring to strike from the shadows!"

Zhang Jiao let out a cold snort, threw the long spear in his hand like a javelin, and hurled it toward the attacker's position.

With a 'boom', that entire area of shipping containers was blasted into fragments.

"Kiritsugu!" Irisviel's expression turned ugly.

That's right, that shot just now was fired by Emiya Kiritsugu.

Upon seeing Feng Xi as a variable in this Holy Grail War, he had immediately marked him as a threat.

Therefore, he had taken advantage of Feng Xi being off guard, wanting to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take Feng Xi's life with a single shot.

Emiya Kiritsugu was more than adept at such things.

But Emiya Kiritsugu hadn't expected Zhang Jiao's reaction to be so fast.

However, his own reaction wasn't slow either; he immediately changed positions after missing the shot, so he wasn't hit by Zhang Jiao's spear.

Yet, he felt something was wrong; he had never heard of Zhang Jiao being able to use a gun.

Moreover, the gun in Zhang Jiao's hand seemed identical to the one Feng Xi had used earlier.

"Apologies, Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take this!"

Although she found Emiya Kiritsugu's actions shameful, Artoria still launched an attack on Zhang Jiao.

After all, Emiya Kiritsugu was on her Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side; she couldn't just watch him get attacked.

"Come and fight, peerless under heaven!"

Zhang Jiao did not retreat, raising his spear to engage Artoria in battle.

Artoria was very surprised, not expecting Zhang Jiao's martial arts to be so high, not a bit inferior to Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.

"How is this possible?"

Kayneth, in the shadows, was somewhat bewildered; this was completely different from the Zhang Jiao he knew.

You are a Caster, not a Lancer.

"Swish..."

Just then, a figure in a red cloak suddenly appeared, holding a dagger and stabbing toward Feng Xi.

It was exactly the Emiya [Assassin] who appeared in yesterday's video, also known as Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu.

"!!!"

Feng Xi hurriedly transformed the Military Five Weapons into arm guards, successfully blocking the attack from the Heroic Spirit, while also feeling surprised.

How could this guy be here? Could it be that the Counter Force sent him to deal with him!

After all, it was common knowledge that the Emiya father and son were Alaya's dedicated hitmen.

"Hmph!"

Failing the first strike, the Heroic Spirit immediately distanced himself from Feng Xi and pulled out a Calico M950 to spray bullets.

Good grief, the times really had changed; all Servants were equipped with thermal weapons.

"Damn it!"

Feng Xi didn't have the habit of taking bullets, so he immediately dodged at high speed, flashing behind a shipping container.

By the time Feng Xi poked his head out to check again, the Heroic Spirit had already lost his trail.

A+ rank "Presence Concealment" made it almost impossible to discover the hiding Heroic Spirit.

Coupled with the "Favor of the Holy Grail" and "Scapegoat" skills, the Heroic Spirit had completely become a master of the way of survival.

Moreover, the Heroic Spirit also possessed the "Magecraft" skill, making him extremely adept at dealing with Casters.

Being targeted by such a guy, the coming days would likely be difficult.

"That guy is!"

Iskandar and the others also saw the figure of the Heroic Spirit and were all somewhat surprised.

The appearance of the Heroic Spirit meant that extra Servants had already participated in this Holy Grail War.

"Bang!!!"

At the same time, Artoria noticed Zhang Jiao was somewhat distracted and immediately took the opportunity to exert force.

Her longsword struck with a flash, directly smashing Zhang Jiao away and sending him crashing heavily into a shipping container.

"Seriously, this Holy Grail War has completely changed."

Feng Xi scratched his head and said loudly: "Fight with all your might, Red Hare, don't worry about me."

"Neigh, I understand."

A magnetic voice sounded, and then a tall red figure rushed out from the ruins, brandishing a long spear and attacking Artoria.

"What!"

Artoria immediately swung her sword to the ground, taking the opponent's strike head-on, but was still pushed back several meters on the ground by the immense force.

Both of their Strength stats were B; comparing power was a draw.

"Hmm? What is this thing?"

Seeing this red centaur that suddenly killed its way out, everyone was somewhat bewildered.

How did Zhang Jiao suddenly turn into such a monster.

Only Feng Xi, the person involved, was secretly chuckling.

From the beginning, the one by his Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side wasn't Zhang Jiao, but the Red Hare horse.

It was just that Zhang Jiao had cast an illusion on the Red Hare, making it look like himself in the eyes of outsiders.

"That, what are you, person?"

Artoria was also full of confusion and asked subconsciously.

The Red Hare didn't hide it and said directly: "I am Lu Bu."

"What! Lu Bu?" The Masters all had black question mark faces.

Who are you fooling? Lu Bu is like you?

You'd be more believable if you said you were the Red Hare horse belonging to Lu Bu.

Hmm? Wait a minute, Red Hare horse!

Look at this monster's Chinese-style attire and the behavior of calling himself Lu Bu, could it be...

Irisviel: "That, you wouldn't happen to be the Red Hare horse, would you?"

Red Hare: "Neigh, I am both Lu Bu and the Red Hare horse, it's about the same."

"It's a huge difference, okay!" Everyone complained in their hearts.

"I think I know what the Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu was all about..."

Kayneth, in the shadows, couldn't help but complain.

With Lu Bu riding this monster, how could Liu, Guan, and Zhang possibly win.

"But it's just a mount, and the voice is quite pleasant." ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
