Although he has been taking the blame, Tokiomi's strategic level is not low.
Before the Holy Grail War, he obtained the holy relic that summoned the King of Heroes and mastered the most powerful card.
As early as three years ago, he and Kotomine Rimasa conspired to accept Father Mapo as his disciple, and asked him to summon Assassin. Two of the seven ranks were occupied, and one was light and the other was dark, forming a complement.
Then on the first day, he planned the "Death of Hassan" drama, making Assassin completely invisible and collecting intelligence secretly. It can be said that he took advantage of the right time and place.
From a strategic and tactical perspective, these plans are by no means mediocre.
However, the compatibility between him and the King of Heroes was so bad, and his ancestral unique skill failed at the critical moment, and Tokiomi ended up rushing to his grandma's house.
Renn did not underestimate Tohsaka Tokiomi. In fact, he could not predict everything. At least the other party's plan surprised him somewhat.
Well, a little bit.
…………
"Wu Ming, I don't understand why you want the Matong family to cooperate with the Holy Church to slander you with those false accusations?"
Under the dead poplar tree, a slightly hoarse voice came from the speaker of the mobile phone, and the words were full of doubts.
Ren leaned against the cracked tree trunk, looked up at the fiery clouds in the sky, and smiled.
"Kariya, there's no need to blame anyone. Even if you don't help, the Holy Church can find other excuses. Tokiomi Tokiomi and Kotomine Rimasa are already in cahoots.
If Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei wholeheartedly promote this matter, other Masters will basically agree, after all, this kind of thing is beneficial and harmless to them!"
There were no outsiders in the Matou residence last night, and Matou Tsuruno, the only one who received the lunch box honorably, was killed by Kotomine Kirei or Assassin who broke in.
However, the charges listed by the church included that Ren bombed a dozen innocent servants and slandered him for killing Matou Tsuruno.
But in order to throw dirty water on it, the cooperation of the Matou family was needed, otherwise there would be too many flaws. The church finally contacted Kariya who was currently taking refuge in a neighboring city.
"Wu Ming, no matter what, you are now the target of all the followers! Listening to your tone, you seem to be quite happy."
On the other side, Kariya's tone was very doubtful. He was quite grateful to Ren, so he called him to inform him before making a decision in the morning.
He was ready to refuse to help the church, but Wuming made him agree. This was the second time he called him to tell Wuming that he had been officially punished.
In the forest, all he could see were yellow and decaying scenes. Renn glanced at some animal carcasses on the ground, surrounded by glowing blue smoke.
"Kariya, this is actually not entirely a bad thing. Now that I have become the target of public criticism, the conflicts between them that were barely suppressed in the past will intensify.
Don’t think that many Masters will obey the church’s arrangements. Not surprisingly, some people are already preparing to stab each other.”
Ren's eyes were filled with blue light, and the two spirit-sealing arrays behind him were saturated, but a newly carved six-pointed star array on his chest continued to rotate.
The vitality in the forest is being plundered crazily, and the energy of the stars in the body is devouring and digesting massive amounts of magic power, constantly moving towards more unpredictable areas.
Ren is barely half a Heroic Spirit, and what makes him different from other Servants is that he has the ability to grow.
His strength can still be improved, especially when he first arrives in a new world and absorbs the unique energy of that world, his strength will grow faster.
"Maybe, but the Command Seal is a very precious thing to many Masters. As long as you dare to show up, they don't mind joining forces to kill you first!"
Out of gratitude to Ren, Kariya reminded him again.
Ren curled his lips and said, "Yeah, despite my nonchalant expression, I'm actually very panicked. I'm hiding in the deep mountains and forests and don't dare to come out!
It's so scary, so scary... When you just informed me that I had been jointly attacked by the servants, I almost pissed myself with fear."
“…”
On the other end of the phone, Matou Kariya was a little speechless. He didn't hear that Ren was afraid. Instead, he had an attitude of fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Ren suddenly changed the topic and his tone became serious: "Friend, are you free? I need you to help me."
"Help you? Berserker has been eliminated. I can't join forces with you."
Yan Ye's tone was somewhat dissatisfied. He was not stupid, and knew that he had been tricked by Wu Ming in this matter.
"No, no, Yanye, you misunderstood, what I need is you!"
"I?"
A very strange smile appeared on Ren's face, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes, but instead he looked solemn:
"That's right, Kariya, do you still want to continue fighting the Holy Grail War?"
"What?!!"
………
Enchanted Forest, Einzbern Castle.
The red sun is setting in the west and it is getting late. The lights have been lit in this classical-style castle and everyone is sitting in the hall.
Emiya Kiritsugu was sitting on the side with a suitcase in front of him. He was meticulously checking guns, ammunition and other equipment.
The cool-tempered Kuu Maiya stood beside him without saying a word, with no expression on her delicate face.
Opposite her was Irisviel, who was wearing a red Western dress. Because of the presence of Kuu Maiya, the expression on her face was somewhat unnatural.
The atmosphere in the house was a bit strange. The mistress and Masamiya were in the same room, which meant that Kiritsugu's father was very capable, but if it had been another man, the backyard would have been on fire.
Artoria stood beside Irisviel, silently acting as a light bulb for these three people with complicated relationships.
Of course, considering the troubling relationship between Saber and Irisviel, it may not be considered a light bulb.
"Kiritsugu, now that we have temporarily ceased fighting, wouldn't it be bad for you to deal with Kenneth tonight?"
Looking at her husband who was checking the pistol, Irisviel broke the dull atmosphere, and King Da Mao also looked at the master with a calm face.
Emiya Kiritsugu loaded the magazine and glanced at his wife:
"The plan has been delayed for a long time. Now is the best time to take action. A truce will make people relax their vigilance!"
"But isn't this against the rules?" Saber raised her eyebrows and immediately asked.
Father Kiritsugu and Young Hero Emiya have two different acting styles, and the relationship between master and slave is very disharmonious.
Emiya Kiritsugu ignored King Daimao at all, treating her as a ball of air. It was not until he noticed his wife's doubtful gaze that he spoke:
"There are many powerful enemies. We must quickly free Saber's left hand. As for the Holy Church, they cannot be trusted at all!"
King Da Mao moved his lips and finally chose to remain silent.
The reason for not mentioning the other party is because she chose to attack Kenneth. Since Hassan was exposed in advance, any fool knows that the church that once protected Kotomine Kirei can no longer be trusted.
Irisviel hesitated for a moment and asked softly:
"But will such a blatant violation of the church's truce agreement have any negative consequences?"
"No effect."
Emiya Kiritsugu closed the suitcase with a snap, stood up, and stretched out his hand to greet his assistant, Maiya Kuu.
Saber looked confused when she heard this, and Irisviel was also confused. She couldn't help but ask:
"Kiritsugu, how could this have no impact?"
The Holy Church is not just a decoration. They are still very powerful. It is not a good thing to completely offend the sects.
Emiya Kiritsugu, who was walking to the door with Kuu Maiya, paused and explained in an indifferent tone:
"It doesn't matter. It was Caster and his Master who attacked Kenneth. They have nothing to do with the Einzbern family."
