Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy

Chapter 20 The Guarded Person

"Come on, sister Altria, I'm rooting for you." Mo Li said something Altria didn't believe at all, which immediately made her very angry.

However, before she could settle the score with Qiqi, she needed to deal with the Berserker Lancelot first.

"Ah!" Artoria immediately released her magic and slashed at Lancelot wildly, venting the anger from Mo Li on her completely unrecognizable subordinates.

Mo Li listened to the mixed sounds of thunder, wheels and bullocks coming from afar. King of Conquerors Iskandar still chose to enter at this time. And if he guessed correctly, he was probably here to stand up for Artoria. After all, fighting two heroic spirits in a row did not seem like a good thing.

Iskandar and Weber arrived in an oxcart. After landing amidst a burst of lightning and thunder, Mo Li was the first to greet Weber, "Hello, Weber. I welcome you to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War. However, I hope that there will be no deaths in this Holy Grail War. After all, there is a problem with the Holy Grail War system, and the Holy Grail has been contaminated, so wishes cannot be properly granted. Therefore, there is room for the seven of us to coexist peacefully."

The first person to react was not Waver, but Iskandar: "Huh? Can a universal wish-granting machine like the Holy Grail be contaminated?"

Mo Li said, "Yes, after all, Angra Mainyu was summoned in the last battle. In this situation, even the Holy Grail System couldn't be spared. It's really sad."

"Do you know me?" Weber asked Mo Li foolishly.

Mo Li smiled and nodded. "I know every Master of this Holy Grail War. To be honest, Weber, your summoning and location selection aren't particularly brilliant. But I'm kind-hearted and didn't hold it against you. Besides, I wasn't supposed to participate in the Holy Grail War. It was only because of some unexpected events that I was forced to participate."

Iskandar said thoughtfully, "Angra Mainyu? So you were supposed to be a monitor or maintainer of the Holy Grail system, right? After all, you mentioned that there were problems with the Holy Grail War system, and that you shouldn't have participated in the Holy Grail War."

"Yes."

"Understood." Iskandar looked at the heroic spirits on the battlefield who had stopped fighting because of his arrival, and with arms outstretched, he declared loudly: "Both parties, draw your swords! No disrespect before the King!"

It was as if he was issuing a decree in his own country, with a sense of right and properness.

Everyone looked towards Iskandar, and after making sure he had attracted enough attention, he continued loudly announcing, "My name is Iskandar, the Conqueror King!"

When this introduction was just uttered, everyone, including Weber, was surprised, except for Mo Li and the other two who knew about it.

And the King of Conquerors, Iskandar, was still announcing: "A Rider-class has been born in this Holy Grail War! Humph!"

Weber looked at Iskandar tremblingly, his mind immediately went blank. Most people were shocked by his casual self-introduction.

Waver came to his senses and began to pull at Iskandar's cape in a hurry to protest, "What the hell are you thinking about! You idiot!"

Iskandar flicked a finger at Waver's head, knocking him down. He then turned to the Heroic Spirits, "Although fate has me vying for the Holy Grail with you, I must ask one thing first. Will you, please, join my army and give me the Holy Grail? If so, I will treat you as a friend and share the joy of conquering the world with you!"

He asked as if it was a matter of course. Not only could Masters like Kayneth and Emiya Kiritsugu not understand, even Diarmuid couldn't understand it, not to mention Altria who was also a king.

Diarmuid felt helpless about meeting such a person who he didn't know whether to call an idiot or a tyrant. He shook his head and sighed, "I'm sorry, I find this proposal difficult to accept. The only one I will offer the Holy Grail to is my new lord, the one I have made a contract with in this life. It will never be you, Rider!"

Artoria, standing by, couldn't bear to watch. "Are you interrupting my duel with Berserker just to make these jokes? As a knight, this is an unforgivable insult!"

Even if Qiqi clearly told them that the Holy Grail was contaminated and could no longer be used, they would still pursue it. After all, weren't the staff who maintained the Holy Grail here working hard to purify it? In that case, they should just fight as usual and decide the outcome. Even if it didn't involve a life-or-death battle, as long as there was a victory or defeat, it would be enough.

Looking at Waver, who was protesting ineffectively rather than trying to teach his Servant a lesson, Kenneth's anger subsided. He said immediately, "Really? You, of all people? I was wondering what had gotten into you to steal my Holy Relic, but I didn't expect you to actually want to participate in the Holy Grail War yourself, Waver Velvet-san."

Hearing that familiar voice and tone, Weber's pupils constricted, his face filled with fear of facing a strict teacher, as well as a bit of unwillingness and unyielding emotions. He was unwilling to admit his mistake to that voice.

Watching Weber's dismal performance, Kenneth stepped out of the shadows into the light. He looked at Weber and said, "I will provide you with a special after-school tutorial. I will teach you the horror and pain of magicians slaughtering each other without reservation. You should feel honored."

Seeing Kenneth appear, Weber was frightened and recalled the fear of being unable to fight back at that time. Mo Li suddenly thought about whether he should visit Olga Marie. After all, she had been born for a while. If he visited her house now and said that he came for Olga Marie, he would not be regarded as a pervert.

With his current fame, becoming Olga Marie's teacher should not be a problem.

Iskandar put his big hand on Waver's back to wake him up, gave him an encouraging look, and then shouted to Kenneth, "Hey, magician! From what you said, you wanted to replace this kid as my Master! If that's the case, it's really ridiculous! The man who becomes my Master must be a warrior who gallops on the battlefield with me!"

Then Iskandar said disdainfully, "You're such a coward who doesn't even have the courage to show up! You're so unqualified! Hahaha!"

Hearing Iskandar's undisguised laughter, even Kenneth, with his great Qi-cultivation skills, couldn't help but turn grim. This was the first time he heard someone laugh at him so undisguised, and it was the laughter from the Conqueror King Iskandar.

Although Kayneth viewed the Heroic Spirits as high-level familiars that fulfilled his goals, he also looked upon the Heroic Spirits squarely, as if he cared deeply about the legend of Diarmuid himself.

Seeing that Kenneth didn't say anything back, Iskandar turned his head and looked around. He could feel the gazes of the powerful men and immediately shouted, "Hey, there are others out there! Those guys hiding in the darkness and watching us."

After hearing Iskandar's words, Artoria also thought of this problem. They have been fighting here for a while, and Iskandar has been making quite a lot of noise. It is really true that the participants of the Holy Grail War should have turned their attention to him long ago.

Now, it has been confirmed that there are four servants here, the swordsman Artoria, the spearman Diarmuid, the cavalryman Iskandar, and the berserker Lancelot. The rest are assassins, magicians, and archers.

Artoria asked, "Rider, do you mean they are already here?"

Iskandar gave Altria a thumbs-up, praising her. "Saber, and Lancer, your fair competition was truly magnificent! The Berserker and I must be among the many Heroic Spirits captivated by the clear sound of swords and spears clashing."

Diarmuid smiled knowingly at the statement that there was finally someone who appreciated his honorable battle.

Tōsaka Tokiomi saw Iskandar shouting through his familiar and immediately felt that something bad was going to happen. Sure enough, the cavalryman said something he didn't want to hear: "Heroic spirits summoned by the Holy Grail, gather here now! Cowards who are afraid to show their faces will be despised by the Conqueror King Iskandar!"

Kotomine Kirei also felt troubled when he heard Iskandar's words. His Servant was Hassan the Hundred Faces, and assassins were supposed to be in the dark, but for the other party to make such remarks, it was really...

Then, Mo Li made a gesture.

Those who could understand the gestures were stunned for a moment, and then made the same decision: show up!

Magician Medea Lily flew to Mo Li with little Kallen, and Kotomine Kirei's assassin Hassan also jumped over immediately, exposed to the moonlight. Lancelot also obediently returned to Mo Li's side. The three Servants protected the people who were not Heroic Spirits behind them, although there was one who could fight better than them.

The outside contestants were all dumbfounded watching this scene: "These guys are actually surrounding that man..."

When he saw little Kallen, Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned: "Is that... a Command Seal? No wonder he participated in the Holy Grail War..."

Irisviel stared in amazement at the three heroic spirits who suddenly appeared in front of her, protecting herself and the other two.

If the three of them had formed an alliance from the beginning, then fighting alone would not have been a good idea. Even if nothing unexpected happened in the Holy Grail War, they probably wouldn't have had much chance of winning under such circumstances.

Iskandar looked at Mo Li and the others in surprise. Even he did not expect that such heroic beings would gather around him. Compared to himself, the other party was more like a respected monarch.

"Interesting, Weber." Iskandar patted Weber's shoulder and commented on Mo Li's team. "If we say the opposing team is a whole, then, with all due respect, that girl in purple looks like the princess who's always by that man's side. That assassin is working covertly to eliminate the evil in the darkness. As for the berserker, he's the general who charges into battle for that human, braver than a Heroic Spirit. And that man is undoubtedly their monarch, the very core they protect. I never expected to see such a person in this era."

Because she hadn't tried to hide it, and her voice was so loud, Medea Lily blushed instantly when she heard Iskandar's comments. "What do you mean by 'a princess who never leaves my side?' I'm not that serious, okay?"
