Chapter 55

In Tokiomi Tohsaka's view, if it weren't for Gilgamesh's foul mouth and not following his plan, it would never have come to this point.

Now the seven Servants of the Holy Grail have completely split into four teams.

First is his team with Kirei Kotomine, which has two Servants: Gilgamesh and Hundred-Faced Hassan.

Kariya Matou is on his own team, with only one Servant, Lancelot.

Emiya Kiritsugu is also on his own team, but has two Servants: King Arthur and Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu.

Finally, there is the three-person alliance of Feng Xi, Waver, and Kayneth, with as many as eight Servants.

With eight Servants, Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't dare to guarantee that Gilgamesh could win.

If Gilgamesh could listen to his command, he would still have the confidence to defeat the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, but this is impossible.

Moreover, the three Masters on the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side are not fools and will definitely make measures to deal with Gilgamesh.

With Gilgamesh's personality, even if he knows it's a trap, he will jump into it without hesitation.

It seems that summoning Gilgamesh was truly a major miscalculation.

"Hmph, watch your tone, Tokiomi."

Gilgamesh also heard Tokiomi Tohsaka's complaints and immediately snorted coldly, "Just a bunch of mongrels, even if they all come together, this King has no fear."

At the same time, his gaze also fell on Kirei Kotomine.

He had already guided him; now it depends on what this guy wants to do himself.

On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, Emiya residence.

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu also knew about Feng Xi and the others forming an alliance.

Because he had always let Kiritsugu secretly follow Kayneth and the others.

Emiya Kiritsugu's goal was also very simple: to catch Kayneth when he was alone and solve him first.

But the trouble is that Kayneth has been acting with the Waver group for the past two days, giving him no opportunity at all.

It seems Kayneth has also learned to be smart.

Compared to Hundred-Faced Hassan, Kiritsugu is much more cautious.

It wasn't until Feng Xi and the others separated that the intelligence was passed back to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who received the news, also felt a headache.

The other party's team has grown to such a point that he must think of a way.

Could it be that he also has to learn from them and form an alliance?

But with his reputation, I'm afraid even Kariya Matou wouldn't pay attention to him.

Troublesome...

The third night of the Holy Grail War passed in such a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon on the fourth day.

[Ding! Answering will begin in ten minutes, please be prepared, group members.]

[Ding! New group member "Sigurd" has joined the group chat.]

Sigurd's joining didn't cause much of a stir; after all, everyone was mentally prepared.

[Ding! The first question is about to begin!]

[This is a multiple-choice question, please choose according to the question.]

[Question: In the original development, who was the first Servant to leave the field?]

[A: Lancer - Diarmuid.]

[B: Berserker - Lancelot.]

[C: Assassin - Hundred-Faced Hassan.]

[D: Caster - Gilles de Rais.]

Kayneth: "Hmm? Is it asking a question first this time?"

Waver: "There's not even a video; do we have to guess again?"

Iskandar: "Hahaha, why don't we choose based on strength, choose the one with the worst strength."

Kayneth: "Indeed, the one who leaves the field first is the weakest; the probability of this is very high."

Waver: "Then who do you think has the worst strength?"

Kayneth: "It should be either Hassan or Bluebeard."

Waver: "Speaking of which, is Hassan's name no longer being hidden?"

Feng Xi: "It should be that most people in the group already know, so the system doesn't cover it up anymore."

[The time for answering has ended. The correct answer will now be announced.]

[The video begins, showing Iskandar and his two companions sitting in the garden. It is, unexpectedly, the continuation of the previous banquet of the three kings.]

Conqueror King: "Oh, is this the continuation of yesterday's video?"

Waver: "Don't tell me you didn't reach an agreement and started fighting?"

Kayneth: "Are you an idiot? None of the four Servants in the options appeared in the video."

Conqueror King: "It seems someone has come to crash the party."

["More guests have arrived. This critique session is finally coming to an end."]

[Iskandar sets down his wine cup and mutters.]

[Figures wearing skull masks are seen slowly emerging from around the garden.]

[The Hundred Faces of Hassan have arrived.]

[Their target is also clear: the Masters of the Conqueror King and the King of Knights.]

Kayneth: "It seems the answer to this question is also quite obvious."

Artoria: "Is this your plan, King of Heroes?"

King of Heroes: "Hmph, the appearance of these mongrels has nothing to do with me."

King of Heroes: "Tokiomi, this is your order, isn't it? How dare you act on your own authority."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "..."

[Artoria shields Irisviel, and Waver hurriedly hides behind Iskandar.]

["Rider, what should we do?"]

["Do not panic, boy. Whether one can accept guests is also a measure of a king's stature."]

[Iskandar looks at the surrounding Hundred Faces of Hassan and says: "Guests are guests. A king's words are meant for all the people of the world. Whether friend or foe, if you have come with a sincere heart to listen, please, Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take a seat as you please."]

[Iskandar generously displays the magnanimity of a king.]

[He chats and laughs with his enemies, showing them sufficient respect even as opponents.]

First Emperor: "Not bad, Conqueror King. Although you are not an emperor, you have already surpassed one."

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, thank you for your praise."

[The Hundred Faces of Hassan clearly do not appreciate Iskandar's invitation.]

[They ignore the Golden Flash nearby and swarm toward the two Masters.]

["It seems you prefer to be punished rather than accept a toast."]

[Iskandar stands up, and a massive amount of magical energy begins to swirl around him.]

[Clearly, he is angry.]

[A perfectly good banquet ruined, and the guests show him no respect—even someone as broad-minded as him has his limits.]

[His armor reappears on his body, and gusts of hot wind whip his cloak.]

[This makes Artoria and Irisviel feel that something is wrong.]

[How could such a scorching, dry wind blow through the forest at night?]

[This is not the wind of a castle, but rather like one from a desert at high noon.]

Conqueror King: "Assassin, you really are a buzzkill."

Xiang Junior Feng Xi: "Tokiomi Tohsaka, Kirei Kotomine, sending the Hundred Faces of Hassan to fight head-on? Do you two even know how to play?"

Xiang Junior Feng Xi: "Forget it, just leave the group. You're lowering our average."

Mapo Priest: "..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "What do you know? This isn't a video game."

Xiang Junior Feng Xi: "Are you making excuses for your own incompetence?"

["Saber, and Archer, this is the final question of this banquet."]

[Iskandar declares loudly: "I ask you: is a king meant to be solitary? Yes or no?"] ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
