As he drew closer to the steel bridge bathed in the night, Waver naturally spotted Saber's figure on the bridge.

"That's Saber and... Lancer's Master, Orihara Shirou?"

Weber was filled with confusion.

Why is Saber now on the same side as Lancer's Master?

Furthermore, Lancer is nowhere to be seen. Could it be that...

Could it be that that guy got carried away by lust and abandoned Lancer to cooperate with Saber instead?

Although Waver witnessed the astonishing power of the two EX-rank Noble Phantasms after their release through his telescope last night, that was the end of it.

Weber was unaware of what happened next.

Upon witnessing this scene, the meticulous Webber immediately began to imagine an incredibly exciting plot.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Overlapping Battlefields

While Webber was imagining a grand drama, Rider had already dismounted and stood on the ground. Seeing this, Webber also quickly climbed down from his horse.

"I never expected that you would be the one to end up here... Orihara Shirou."

Rider looked at Shirou with a somewhat incredulous gaze, then lingered on Saber beside him.

"Strange... Saber, why are you with Orihara?"

Rider clearly remembered that Saber's Master was not this red-haired boy, so why was Saber standing next to him now?

Masters are all rivals, and given the proud and aloof nature of these magicians, it's unlikely they would form an alliance.

There's only one reason that can come to mind.

"I see, now let's fold..."

So you were my Master.

Seeing that Saber did not refute him, Rider confirmed his idea.

Then, he looked at Shirou, his eyes filled with admiration.

"No need for further explanation. The fact that you were able to defeat that Archer and stand here speaks for itself."

Hearing Rider's obvious praise, Shirou gently shook his head.

"No, it was not I who defeated Archer."

Upon hearing this, Rider was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Who could that be? Saber?"

In response to Rider's question, Shirou answered calmly.

"It was Lancer who defeated Archer. He destroyed Archer's strongest Noble Phantasm with his full-force attack, truly deserving of the title of hero."

That was Gilgamesh in his serious state. Even if Shirou had "Unlimited Blade Works", he would still perish under the sword of that supreme "Ea".

That night, the blazing sun high in the sky left an incredibly deep impression on Shirou.

"Now that Lancer is gone, what was his real name...?"

Rider was well aware of Gilgamesh's immense power, especially after witnessing the uniquely shaped 'sword' Archer wielded during his battle with Lancer that night. Even as the 'Conqueror King,' he couldn't help but be awestruck by Gilgamesh's strength.

If it weren't for Lancer, Archer would definitely be the strongest Servant in this Holy Grail War!

Shirou uttered the name with a hint of admiration.

"Karna! His name is Karna, son of the sun, hero of charity!"

Upon hearing that name, Rider's pupils dilated slightly.

"Karna..."

After arriving in this era, every Servant passively acquires a lot of knowledge about this world, so Rider is also able to know Karna's story.

"I never imagined that Lancer would be such a noble hero. It's a great pity that I couldn't compete with him."

Rider sighed with a hint of regret.

Iskandar then turned his gaze to Shirou and Saber in front of him.

"Well then, let's begin the final battle. If you wish to challenge me, I will allow you all to come at me together!"

Iskandar revealed a wild smile, his words filled with the domineering aura of a king.

His confidence was not without reason; with the army of tens of thousands of heroic spirits in the "King's Army," he truly feared no one.

"Saber, I will never acknowledge your beliefs, for they run counter to my principles. If you want me to acknowledge you, then prove it in battle!"

Upon hearing this, Saber's glass-like eyes immediately blazed with fierce fighting spirit.

"Rider, I will crush your army in one fell swoop!"

Even though Saber's speech was full of momentum, Rider just grinned, completely ignoring her intimidation, and drew the longsword from his waist after a hearty laugh.

"Thanks to the power of the Command Seals bestowed upon me by my friend, Iskandar is in his most perfect condition tonight!"

Although the magic power stored up earlier was only enough to support Rider in releasing one more Reality Marble, the three Command Seals that Waver used earlier, which seemed meaningless, were unexpectedly working.

Even though Waver's commands were too vague to be carried out, they still turned into a large amount of magic power that enabled Rider to use "King's Army" to its fullest extent.

From this perspective, the Command Seals Waver used back then have actually already played a certain role, namely, replenishing Rider's magical energy.

In this way, Rider, by unleashing the full power of "King's Army", can summon the entire army of Heroic Spirits within his own bounded field, including those generals whose strength even surpasses Iskandar's.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me, Rider! I will use the sword in my hand to utterly crush you!"

Upon hearing Rider's words, Saber gripped the sword in his hand even tighter. The golden blade trembled, and its dazzling light transformed into clear sword energy, causing the ground to crack.

At this moment, Rider had already raised his longsword high, pointing it straight to the sky.

In the night sky, dark clouds gathered, and deafening thunder roared across the heavens. Accompanied by a magical gale, a thick bolt of lightning struck down from the center of the clouds, hitting Rider's raised sword.

Lightning bolts ripped through the air, and Iskandar swung his sword violently, tearing apart space and causing the earth to tremble!

"Gather, my compatriots! Tonight, our bravery will leave the strongest legend!"

Lightning flashed down from the dark clouds, announcing the arrival of thunder.

A fierce sandstorm swept across the battlefield, and the mist from the river continued to spread towards the bridge.

The whole world underwent a dramatic transformation at that moment, with the sky filled with yellow...

The sand gradually covered the field of vision.

From top to bottom, even the sky was filled with yellow sand, spreading across the world like a dust storm.

In that desert, countless heroic spirits are gathering, their power comparable to that of other Servants.

Their will coalesced at this moment, as if nothing could stop them from advancing.

"The enemy is the 'King Arthur' of Britain! We have no complaints as adversaries! Warriors, let us show them our might!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!"

Iskandar roared angrily, and the troops present immediately shouted loudly.

"what……"

For Waver, this was the second time he had witnessed the overwhelming power of the "King's Army." Although he was no longer surprised, after understanding the meaning of the ultimate Noble Phantasm as the embodiment of Iskandar's royal way, he felt a sense of awe.

At that moment, the thousands upon thousands of heroic spirits roared in unison, their deafening voices still shocking even Waver, who had already witnessed the "King's Army" once.

Chapter Seventy: The Clash of Mental Landscapes!

"Damn it, why did it have to happen at this time..."

Although Weber understood his powerlessness, his failure to perform at such a crucial moment still made him feel ashamed.

At that moment, a large, broad hand covered Weber's shoulder, causing him to be startled.

"Don't be nervous, you just need to charge forward with me."

Rider lifted him up and placed him on the horse's back.

“Rider…” Weber’s eyes were filled with gratitude, and he didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, Rider had already mounted the horse and then suddenly yanked the reins.

"charge!"

Led by the spirit Mabsepharus, the Heroic Spirits charged forward in a wedge formation.

Rider, who was leading the charge, let out a loud roar, and the cavalrymen responded in unison.

Even Weber managed a weak shout, joining the thunderous chorus.

"Aa ...

However, all of this came to an abrupt end the next moment—

"Wait... what happened over there?!"

Someone saw cracks suddenly appear in the surrounding void and immediately cried out in surprise.

"The space itself is starting to crack! How is this possible?!"

Some generals saw things more clearly than the soldiers and immediately realized that this inherent barrier had been destroyed by some kind of force.

Rider, who also noticed the anomaly within his own Reality Marble, turned his gaze toward Shirou, who was standing not far ahead.

The moment he looked over, Rider's pupils dilated involuntarily.

"That's—!?"

Before the army of tens of thousands of heroic spirits, amidst the swirling yellow sand, an even more powerful magical wind began to rage!

That power tore the sky apart, shattered the earth, and even space itself collapsed inch by inch at that moment!

The person who accomplished all of this was a boy who was overlooked by Iskandar, the "Conqueror King," and even by the tens of thousands of heroic spirits in the "Army of Kings."

Her red hair danced in the wind, and her powerful magic, a pale blue color, emanated from Shirou's body, spreading outwards like ocean waves.

Amidst the raging winds formed by magic, Shirou's raised right arm shone with a dazzling azure light, and then, all the scenes within the "King's Army" underwent a dramatic transformation!
