Chapter 270 A Rare Opportunity!

Chapter 270 A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Let the followers go, and then directly attack their master?"

Saber's eyes widened, is this Emiya Kiritsugu's tactic?Taking advantage of the temporary absence of a servant in Liudong Temple, distract another servant, and then take the opportunity to implement a beheading tactic?

"This is the most effective method, and this is not the time to be upright. The opportunity is fleeting. Whether such things will happen again in the future, none of us can be sure."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't even look at Saber, his voice seemed to be unaffected, as if he was lightly narrating a fact that couldn't be more conspicuous.

"And let me tell you, Caster is now gaining magic power by killing people. According to the location where he appeared, I have already found three families whose families were exterminated. Parents and children were brutally murdered, and blood was still used in the family. It depicts the remnants of a strange magic circle..."

"This..." Saber's expression turned ugly.

"According to common sense, if Caster wants to restore his magic power to the previous level, summoning that devastating storm and thunder again is definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time, even if he restores his magic power by directly plundering his vitality... ..."

Emiya Kiritsugu said indifferently, still ignoring the heroic knight girl in men's attire, she directly swung the stick on the moral high ground.

"Could it be, Saber, that you want to wait for him to kill enough Fuyuki City residents in such a way and recover all his magic power, and then fight the other party to the death? Use the lives of countless innocent people to defend the ideals and justice in your heart ?”

"I... I understand, I agree with your method, Master."

Saber's face turned red and then pale, but in the end she still clenched her five fingers, nodded and gritted her teeth and agreed. As a true knight, accusations and moral kidnapping by others standing on the moral high ground are extremely lethal to her.

Probably because of someone's intrusion, many things haven't happened or haven't had time to happen, for example, Bluebeard hasn't set his sights on Saber, Kotomine Kirei hasn't set his sights on Emiya Kiritsugu yet, and Emiya Kiritsugu hasn't set his sights on him yet. No unilateral killing of Kenneth...blah blah blah.

These things have not yet happened or have not had time to happen, so there is still a decisive discord between the unscrupulous magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber who insists on implementing the self-chivalry spirit, but in the end there is still a decisive difference. It didn't reach the level of completely tearing the skin off.

"..." Seeing Saber's embarrassment, Irisviel couldn't help opening her mouth, but she still didn't say anything in the end.

Although she actually knew very well that her husband was the least qualified person to say such things.

Everyone is qualified to stand on the moral high ground...but only Emiya Kiritsugu is not even qualified to do so.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu has neither human ethics nor the pride of being a magician in his eyes. Although he is a dreamer who hopes for world peace, he is a ruthless realist in practice.

In order to achieve the justice that I firmly believe in, I can obliterate emotions and morality, and only demand to become the most accurate balance, and implement the goal to the end by all means.He does not have the courage and arrogance to compete with others with his life, so his goal is to ensure the right to victory and survival carefully and with the least risk.

Others will feel entangled and unable to answer because of the trolley problem, but he never hesitates, because he really regards the number of lives as a weight and weighs them on a balance.

——Killing one person can save two people, no matter how you look at it, it is a profitable thing, he never hesitates...

The most frightening thing is that Emiya Kiritsugu not only thinks that the tram problem is not a problem at all, it can be measured by the number of lives, but also firmly believes that he is the man of destiny who is qualified to change the direction of the tram.

He really thinks that he is the savior and should be born to save all mankind, so he runs with all his strength for the justice in his heart, and uses all means to achieve it...

So this means that he has done this countless times, choosing to kill a few people in order to save the majority, it doesn't matter whether the few are innocent or the majority are guilty.

But now, in order to coerce Saber into agreeing to his plan, he made a fuss about this matter, using the lives of innocent people as an excuse to wield the moral stick... This is really ironic.

When did he care about the lives of innocent people?If there is now a chance for him to directly obtain the Holy Grail and realize his wish at the cost of the lives of all the residents of Fuyuki City, do you think Emiya Kiritsugu will have any hesitation?

He promised to start planning right away to ensure that every resident of Fuyuki City would be completely killed, and no one would slip through the net-cause the price was not paid in full, and the Holy Grail failed to fulfill his wish.

At the cost of sacrificing the lives of a city, it must be a good fortune to ensure the saving of all human beings in the world-this man definitely has such logic.

After all, they lived together for nine years, and Irisviel really knew him too well, especially Emiya Kiritsugu's indifferent expression that seemed to be wearing a mask at the moment, which made Irisviel even more disgusted.

This man was not the husband she knew. It seemed that Emiya Kiritsugu had tried his best and even used the magic of "inherent time control" after the encounter a few days ago to finally escape from the storm and thunder. Completely changed a person.

Maybe it was seeing that unreasonable golden shooter with infinite treasures...

Maybe it's because of that Caster, who calls wind and thunder and is suspected to be a great magician from the age of gods...

Emiya Kiritsugu was originally dissatisfied with recruiting a knight like Saber who regarded himself as a knight, because in comparison, he preferred Caster and Assassin who acted secretly, and that would play a greater role in his Holy Grail War follower.

And now it is discovered that even the legendary King of Knights has no great chance of winning in this Holy Grail War, which is full of powerful people. This undoubtedly makes the fear and pressure in this man's heart increase day by day.

Originally, he would not feel pain, because he had nothing to lose at all, all he needed was to carry out his own pursuit of that cruel ideal.

However, now that he has a wife and a daughter, he has become vulnerable because of this. He doesn't even dare to imagine the consequences of his failure in the Holy Grail War this time.

Irisviel can generally understand Emiya Kiritsugu's thoughts, but there are still many threads in her heart. What makes her feel depressed is that woman named Maiya. During this meeting, Kiritsugu's There is no trace of doubt in the speech, and the silence is kept calmly.

Just like this woman's past, she kept silent and silently entrusted everything about herself to Emiya Kiritsugu.Even though she is a cyborg, Irisviel can still be sure that the woman closest to her husband at this moment is not herself, but Maiya...

As if the nine years that the two had lived together were gone, the young woman began to feel restless.

"Then it's not too late, we're going to set off now, we absolutely can't give Caster a chance to recover his magic power..."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't notice his wife's melancholy and melancholy, and all his thoughts are now focused on this opportunity.

Because Xia Ran started practicing behind closed doors after breaking the big news about the gas explosion in Fuyuki City, and she hasn't been seen for several days.Others also took it for granted that the thunderstorm that night was too terrifying and consumed too much magic power, and his Master could not supply it.

So if Caster is not slowly recovering his mana naturally, he is looking for other ways to recover quickly. This is a reasonable inference.Emiya Kiritsugu also believed in such a thing, so he felt that this was a rare opportunity.

With such preconceived ideas, coupled with Xia Ran's intentional or unintentional misleading when chasing Usei Ryunosuke, it is not difficult for Emiya Kiritsugu to believe that Caster is absorbing magic through killing people.

Fortunately, Caster was very cautious in this matter, perhaps because he was worried that the scale would be too large to expose his whereabouts, or even give others an excuse to join in the crusade. Even the news of the killing of several families he killed did not spread.

Therefore, its recovery speed of magic power will not be too fast, Emiya Kiritsugu judged that this is a golden opportunity.

"It's the same as the previous plan! But Maiya and I will go to meet Lancer's master, because this time it is necessary to find a reliable temporary ally to cooperate with to ensure nothing goes wrong..."

Looking at the sky outside the castle, he found that it was almost evening, and the sunset glow in the sky seemed to be burning gorgeously, Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath.

"What's more, remember that the goal this time is not to directly kill the opponent's master, but to force them to be used by us, at least use their power to solve the King of Conquerors and King of Heroes..."

That's right, this was Emiya Kiritsugu's true purpose.

Because simply removing Caster and Berserker doesn't make much sense. Instead, the Holy Grail War will once again appear as a dominant family, such as the so-called oldest king, Jin Glittering.

His Noble Phantasm is overwhelming, so far he has been held back by both Caster and Berserker.But if other people meet him, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.

From the very beginning, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't intend to eliminate harm for the people, or simply eliminate the enemy, that didn't conform to the law of the jungle he had always followed, he just hoped to seize this almost, control Caster and Berserker by surprise, let They went first to die with other enemies...

Saber didn't say anything about it, just nodded wordlessly.

……

……

It only took an hour to drive to Fuyuki City, and it took less than half an hour to reach an agreement with Kenneth, who was easy to deceive and underestimate the enemy. After nightfall, the two parties started their operations at the same time.

Tonight is a moonless night, there is no moon, and a sea of ​​dark clouds flows in the night sky.

There is a breeze in the forest, and the trees rustle like whispers.There are no birds that sing about winter, nor beasts that bark at the moon.There is only one road leading to Liudong Temple, and the long stone stairs are peaceful tonight.

Looking at the mountain gate in the darkness at the end of the road, the two Servants who were walking side by side on the long stone steps while silently keeping their distance stopped at the same time. Others might not think there is anything strange about Liudong Temple.

But in the eyes of the two, that huge magical power almost enveloped the entire mountain.
