Chapter 525: The Assassin Shuoyue's Pressure

Shuoyue left, and the empress leaned on the throne, turning her head to look at Amakusa who was frowning and thinking.

"Hey, did you agree to Shuoyue's alliance request so easily?"

After Shuoyue showed the third magic, Amakusa nodded and agreed to cooperate without much hesitation - the third magic did have such power, but in Semiramis's opinion, Amakusa would not be carried away by it anyway.

Facing the Empress's secret concern, the young priest chuckled and said:

"Don't be confused, Assassin. Since Shuoyue chose to play the open card, the situation of this Holy Grail War has become a three-way melee. It should be our chance to defeat the strong with the weak, not to mention that the combat power of the blue and black sides is evenly matched."

"Evenly matched? But Achilles and Karna..."

"Indeed, the black side has the advantage in numbers, but don't forget that the masters of Rider, Lancer, and Archer are all dead, and Lancer Karna has lost his immortal body. How much power can they exert with the help of spiritual veins to survive?" Amakusa analyzed, "On the other hand, the blue side now has Arthur, the king of Britain, Siegfried, the dragon slayer of the Netherlands, Avisbron, the creator of Kabbalah magic, the mysterious servant who killed the master, and... Shuoyue."

Only Shuoyue, Amakusa did not add any prefix, this name itself is a threat that cannot be ignored in this Holy Grail War.

Killing Frankenstein, killing Flanders III and the patriarch of the Thousand World Tree, Danic, killing the Master, taking away the Holy Grail, messing up the Red side, and now planning a famous secret conspiracy on the Black side.

If it weren't for the fact that Sakutsuki was afraid of the Judge or for some other reason, he finally decided to take the stage. The Black and Red sides would probably be kept in the dark until death. Such an enemy... is really terrifying.

After a pause, Amakusa continued: "What's more, Sakutsuki's purpose is the same as mine, which is exactly why I chose to cooperate with him."

"Have you ever thought that this is the guy's nonsense, a trap set to deceive you?"

"No, it won't, Assassin." Thinking of the young man's eyes at that time, the white-haired priest, the saint of the Far East, laughed from the bottom of his heart, "That must be Sakutsuki's true words, I believe in him so much-just like I have no doubt about my own path."

The memory of not long ago is still clear. The young man who held up the miracle looked at Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who was known as the 'Son of Miracles', and said such frank words.

[Our goals are the same, Amakusa. You participated in this war for the salvation of all mankind and to lift mankind to the height of eternity. As for me, I also chose to stand here for the salvation of the world. It makes no difference whether you or I use the Holy Grail. In any case, I will record the data of this feat. ]

[It’s okay if you don’t believe my words, but compared with our ambitions, the black side’s desire to seize the Holy Grail seems out of place, right? Why not cooperate to exclude them and then consider the fight between each other? ]

To be fair, the conditions proposed by Sakutsuki as the strong side are too generous. As long as Amakusa nods, he can get the help of the blue side for free and without paying any price.

However, out of the obsession of the priest, or some subtle comparison psychology, Amakusa asked a question:

[So, what does your ideal world look like? ]

If Sakutsuki had been prepared, he would have talked about his wishes endlessly. Even if he was caught off guard, he could still fool people with his seemingly plausible ideals with his strategy.

But the young man was silent, and after a long while, Amakusa heard his voice.

[If the great source of a world has been exhausted, then can the Holy Grail and the kingship on the moon be used... No, nothing. ]

--It was clearly an ambiguous and evasive answer, but Amakusa Shiro was convinced at this moment that Sakutsuki did not lie.

Only heroes who really want to save the world and save mankind will hesitate at the most critical moment, repeatedly hesitating, fearing that because of their own mistakes, all mankind will bear losses.

[That's good, I promise you, Sakutsuki, let us fight together. In the end... can you report your real name? ]

[Hehe, then I will tell you, the camp is Rainbow Blue, the job is Assassin, my real name is Sakutsuki, thank you for the help of the Red side, please allow me to leave first. 】

After the memory ended, the empress looked at Amakusa's relaxed face and smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect to see two ridiculous lunatics at the same time in a Holy Grail War."

"Yes, to you, he and I are both unreasonable existences." Amakusa blinked and suddenly said, "By the way, you gave the communication spell to Karna, right? Just right, help me contact the black side."

"???" Semiramis said in surprise while unfolding the spell, "Didn't you decide to form an alliance with Shuoyue... and the blue side? Trying to have both sides in front of the sage of the forest will be a big loss."

"It's not an alliance, just exchanging information with members who used to belong to the red side."

"Exchange information?"

"Well, I want to know more about the existence of Shuoyue before the decisive battle." Feeling the warning in his mind, Amakusa nodded without changing his expression.

Few people know that Amakusa, as a saint from the far east and a hero who came as a judge, also possesses the inherent skill known as "Revelation", and like Joan of Arc, her level is as high as A-level,

But since it (in my opinion) is baseless, I can't explain it to others properly. In the original work, this ability was not described in detail, so even Shuo Yue subconsciously ignored the power of this ability.

But for the confusing Lan Fang and Shuo Yue himself, this skill is an unreasonable and excellent winner. Amakusa was secretly surprised by the results deduced based on intuition, regardless of logic.

That young man would actually destroy 'this' world before saving it...? !

】

Considering that Shuo Yue showed no abnormality and the results of the revelation were too vague, Amakusa did not give up cooperation with Lan Fang, but he also retained a hand and set up insurance in disguise by leaking intelligence.

But at the moment when the technique was switched on, Amakusa suddenly thought of a question.

With Shuo Yue's strong character, if he wanted to negotiate with him, he should have blocked all his paths and left him with only cooperation - as if he had used some unknown means to kill the Master and force him to Contrary to Achilles and others, they are irreversible, even if the murderer is found out, it will not help.

With his advantage of lurking in the dark, even if the red side discovers the abnormality of the sixth leader Lingxia, they are still unable to conclude that he is the mastermind. In this case, Shuo Yue can sit still and reap the benefits, or even take the initiative to create opportunities to seize chestnuts from the fire...

Why does his action this time feel like he is deliberately letting go of water?

It's a pity that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, this too noble saint, still doesn't understand Sakatsuki well enough. If Arturia puts herself in his position, she will immediately understand that what Amakusa thinks Sakusuki is deliberately letting go is actually another kind. Way of address——

That is condescending arrogance.

————

After finishing the meeting with the red side and successfully signing the alliance, Sakutue said goodbye to Reika, Artoria and others, and returned to the black side's Mirenia Fortress.

In any case, on the surface he is still a servant who defected to Black. What's more, after defeating Red, he should also check what kind of fruits he planted in Black.

"Lord Sakatsuki."

"Hello, Lord Shuoyue."

"Lord Shuoyue..."

Walking in the corridor, the androids passing by stopped in unison and greeted the mentor of the android hero, the hero who had redeemed them. Shuo Yue returned the greetings one by one, then arrived at the destination and knocked on the door. .

"Are you there, Sieg? I have something to talk to you about."

"Teacher? Wait a moment, I'm coming."

The door opened, and Sakuyue glanced past the somewhat excited android girl and glanced into the door.

I didn't notice Astolfo's aura, which was good. It seemed that I didn't need to take Sieg to the courtyard to have a private chat.

"Please come in, teacher, what can you do?"

"Well, it's about tomorrow's decisive battle..."

The door was closed, and the figures and conversations between the two people disappeared. On the opposite side of the room, another door closed quietly.

In the room opposite to Sieg's room, a tall and handsome warrior turned around with a solemn expression.

"Shuoyue is back and he entered Sieg's house."

"Well, judging from the conversation, he probably wants to get Sieg's help. If Sieg agrees, it means that the Black Rider will also switch sides."

The son of the Sun God, Karna leaned against the wall, thoughtful, and suddenly looked up at the forest sage sitting cross-legged on the bed, exuding a natural and gentle aura.

His name is Chiron, Achilles' mentor, Black's absolute strategist and navigator. After finding the real culprit in the case in the Sky Garden and returning, Achilles and Karna immediately approached the sage for guidance, and received a summons from Amakusa before discovering Sakutsu.

In other words, they already understood that the mysterious assassin in the Holy Grail War was lurking behind the scenes.

"What do you think? Black's Archer."

Under Achilles' expectant gaze, Chiron did not disappoint him. He just pondered for a while and then gave his answer:

"If the information about Amakusa, the priest on the red side, is accurate, I'm afraid that the events from the birth of this artificial man, including the time when he contracted Rider during his escape, and finally returned to the black side and liberated the artificial man, were all events of Sakutsuki. Single-handedly planned.”

"But, this sounds like a good thing. Helping artificial humans gain freedom or something...is there any problem?" Achilles was puzzled. In response, Chiron sighed:

"This is the smartest thing about Shuo Yue. His behavior of weakening Black has become an irresistible conspiracy."

Achilles was still a little confused, but Karna understood something and took the initiative to explain:

"Due to the awakening of the artificial man's consciousness, Thousand Worlds Tree cannot instruct the artificial man to go to the battlefield at will. Instead, it must control the number of sacrifices. However, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers made by the Empress of the Red Side are almost infinite. This means that in a head-on war, the Black Side In bad situation."

"Not only that, the battery system made by Master Gold also requires the sacrifice of the androids." Chiron added, "But now that Sieg is also on the black side, do you think she will allow the servants to squander magic power and consume the androids life?"

"Not to mention, compared to the Black Side, Shuoyue's kindness is obviously greater. Although Sieg holds the Black Side's Servant, he may rebel at any time. Even if he continues to stay on the Black Side, he will be subject to unnecessary suspicion. Once there is a conflict, the contradictions between the artificial humans that have just eased will be intensified again."

Karna and Chiron talked back and forth, leaving Achilles speechless. Although he is straightforward, he is not a fool who does not understand the current situation. But it is precisely because he understands the horror of Shuoyue's plan that this great hero doubts his life.

You know, when Shuoyue was still on the Red Side, he naively thought that Shuoyue was just a stronger Servant, at most better at cooking and more flexible in mind, and there was still a gap compared to him, Achilles.

But even if he racked his brains, he could not come up with such a hidden plan!

"Kill three birds with one stone? Such a powerful guy, almost as powerful as Odysseus... no, even more powerful than him. I really want him to compete with Odysseus on the battlefield to see who is more powerful..."

"Is this the time to say this, Achilles?" Chiron reminded with a serious face:

"You know, this assassin who is both civil and military is our biggest enemy."
