"The Holy Grail War is not a battle between a single Master or a single Servant. To be precise... it is a battle between 'camps'."
In the church, Emiya Kiritsugu said seriously to Irisviel.
"What we have to deal with is not only the servants fighting in the field, but also the master responsible for supporting and the camp behind the master responsible for providing other support. They are also our opponents."
"Let's not mention the two masters who still don't know the truth. Behind Kenneth, standing is the El-Melloi family. As one of the [Monarchs] of the Clock Tower, the energy of this family is undoubtedly
Huge, but..."
"No matter how huge it is, there are times when it is beyond reach. Britain and Japan are not that close."
"Then there are two other families besides our Einzbern family." Standing next to Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel looked at the two Masters on the intelligence icon with a serious expression.
Matō Kariya, Tokiomi Tokiomi.
The Gosan family that built the system of the Holy Grail War has long since fallen apart, leaving only Tosaka and Matou who maintain a good relationship because they still live in the same city and the Matou family is too rich. The Einzbern family has faded out.
within this relationship.
And there is no doubt that the three families will not care about anything else during the Holy Grail War. The Holy Grail cannot be given up just by the word "friendship". Everyone and every family has their own long-cherished wish.
And ideal, the kind that can't be let go.
The Einzbern family needs the Holy Grail to complete the construction of the [Celestial Grail], the Matou family needs the Holy Grail to spy on the secrets of their ancestor Lawrence, and the Tohsaka family adheres to the most fundamental concept of a magician - to go to the source through the Holy Grail.
"That's right."
Nodding, Emiya Kiritsugu's cold face melted slightly. He glanced at his lover and then turned cold again.
"Information about the Tosaka family and the Matou family has been obtained. In addition to the servants they summoned, the most important thing to pay attention to is the magic rituals made of gems. Whether they belong to the Tosaka family or the Matou family,
Holding a large number of them will definitely increase the magician's strength by more than one and a half points."
"But... what matters to me the most is indeed this man."
He picked up a photo and looked at the man in the photo solemnly.
"Kotomine Kirei...he is the only one among the masters I have known who makes me feel in danger."
Kenneth and Tokiomi Tosaka are both standard arrogant magicians. Matou Kariya does not have the arrogance of a magician, but he is by no means a dangerous guy. Only Kotomine Kirei,
After seeing this man's past, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but feel frightened.
What kind of pursuit can create that kind of past?
It's like there is no dream at all.
Why would such a person... be chosen by the Holy Grail?
Deep in his heart, there is definitely a huge desire that needs the Holy Grail to be fulfilled.
"Speaking of which... Kiritsugu, just prepare these things for the summoning, is that okay?"
Irisviel stood up and looked at the silver summoning array arranged by Emiya Kiritsugu in the center of the church.
This summoning array is quite crude.
"Although it is true that some corners are cut, the summoning of servants is not a spirit seance ceremony that requires a lot of fanfare."
"After all, it is not us who summon the Servants, but the Holy Grail."
With that said, Emiya Kiritsugu also stood up.
He stretched out one of his hands towards Irisviel.
Irisviel understood this and solemnly took out the holy relic of White Knight Anno that she had been keeping these days, and placed it in the palm of Emiya Kiritsugu's hand.
Walking to the opposite side of the summoning array, Emiya Kiritsugu placed the holy relic on the altar with his own hands.
"Then, like this, the preparations are complete."
Emiya Kiritsugu walked back to his original position.
Irisviel obediently stepped aside. She knew that the summoning of the servants was about to begin.
"Declare that I am willing to do all things good."
Stretching out his right hand with a command spell that looked like a cross, Emiya Kiritsugu said,
Buzz——
In just a moment, powerful magic burst out from the summoning array. The light was so bright that Irisviel had to raise a hand to cover her eyes with the strong wind.
"I am willing to be the enemy of all evil."
Emiya Kiritsugu was not surprised at all, his expression was calm, and he still narrated the summons calmly and loudly.
"The three great speaking spirits entangled for seven days——"
Buzz——
Buzz buzz————
As the summoning words continued to deepen, a buzzing sound sounded, causing the surrounding ground to tremble. A tall figure was already standing in the center of the summoning array.
Emiya Kiritsugu understood that the summoning had entered the final stage.
"O guardian of the scales!"
——Buzz!
At the last moment, the silver-white light was so bright that even Emiya Kiritsugu had to squint his eyes.
But he still saw clearly the heroic spirit standing in the middle of the summoning array.
Tall, strong, and majestic, just standing there gives people an unparalleled sense of oppression.
Looking at his servant and feeling the power of the contract, Emiya Kiritsugu's lips curved into a smile.
"This Holy Grail War...is won."
He said to himself.
"Is this so..."
"It seems that you summoned me."
The green eyes of the white knight looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, and they looked at each other, making Emiya Kiritsugu feel a chill running down his spine.
But he was not afraid, but instead felt happy.
The more you feel like this, it shows... Annuo's strength.
"......nature."
He answered Anno.
"I understand."
Nodding slightly, the white knight inserted the holy sword in front of him into the scabbard, then slowly knelt down on one knee to salute Emiya Kiritsugu.
"...Then, Servant, Saber Anno, please go ahead."
"Please try your best to use your loyalty, Master."
Looking at the white knight who bowed his head in front of him, Emiya Kiritsugu did not get overly excited or have any other reaction, he simply nodded.
"Then, let's arrange our battle plan... for the victory of this Holy Grail War."
He doesn't mind sharing his battle plan with his followers. That's unrealistic, but he won't reveal all of his plans - because some plans are to be implemented without his own knowledge.
Only then can the results be more highlighted.
And, most importantly...
He didn't think that Annuo, as a knight, would agree with his plan.
But he didn't care about that.
It doesn't matter if the ideas are different. Anyway, Anno itself is just a powerful tool in combat.
It is enough to use the weapon effectively, opinions are not important.
Emiya Kiritsugu touched the command spell on the back of his hand.
