Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy

"Shadow Servants?" Atalanta was not surprised to see those guys. Judging from their appearance and the weapons on their bodies, they did not seem to be some of the servants commonly seen in Chaldea. But they were all enemies anyway, so she just drew her arrows and shot them.

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others had also arrived. Standing on a high place and looking at the shadow servants rushing towards them, Scathach jumped down and swung her spear to kill them: "These servants seem to be the Knights of the Round Table?"

Artoria appeared on the other side, charging with a sword in hand. "Yes, the Knights of the Round Table. Apparently, they're ones that haven't appeared yet."

There are many Knights of the Round Table, but not all of them have appeared yet.

"Do these shadow servants, who are similar to the Knights of the Round Table, also possess martial arts skills that are equal to theirs?" Scathach said this even though she knew it was probably impossible, but she still had some anticipation.

"No." Altria answered concisely, then she rushed forward and killed a shadow servant with two swings of her sword.

Scathach was greatly disappointed, and then the three of them killed all the shadow servants in a few moves.

Aku Hinako watched as the arrows of light disappeared from the battlefield, leaving behind corpses riddled with arrow holes. "What are these Crusaders planning to do with their Shadow Servants? Kill the people of the mountain?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said uncertainly, "Looking at the route, it looks like it, but a few Shadow Servants don't seem enough. The Mountain People have proper Servants and soldiers, so these aren't enough, are they?"

Altria watched the Shadow Servants vanish into ashes and said, "I'm afraid they're planning to put the blame on the Lion King."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly figured it out. "Ah? Well, it does seem possible. The other side has the Holy Grail, and the Shadow Servants' black special effects can be temporarily enhanced and removed with the Holy Grail. Disguising themselves as real Knights of the Round Table is certainly possible, but assuming the Mountain People are indeed their target, can they really defeat them?"

Leonardo da Vinci: "That's fine. The purpose of a plan is to ensure its success. No one would execute a plan that is bound to fail."

Mash: "Let's go quickly. At least inform the people of the mountain of this information."

After a while, before they reached their destination, they encountered a group of refugees who were fleeing in panic. A little further away, they could vaguely see flames and black smoke rising into the sky.

Hundreds of refugees were almost in despair when they saw Leonardo da Vinci appear in a strange vehicle they had never seen before. However, when they found out that it was a group of beautiful girls, they became full of hope and excitement.

"Not those Crusaders!"

"Great, everyone keep running!"

"Hey! You guys should run away too! There's a large group of Crusaders behind us. They've burned our village and killed many people!"

"Master Hassan is covering our retreat, let's hurry and escape!"

Da Vinci used magic to make his voice heard: "Everyone, please make way. We are reinforcements! We will deal with those Crusaders!"

When the refugees heard this, they were grateful and made way for everyone.

Hearing the refugees' cries, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately understood everything: "There are still Crusaders! Then I understand. What we encountered before must be part of the plan. Judging from their marching speed and the escape route these refugees took, we were bound to encounter them."

Hinako Aku: "By then, the Crusaders will surely kill most of these refugees, then deliberately leave behind a few who are the best at escaping and playing dead. They'll then have them escape and spread the news of Shadow Servants disguised as Knights of the Holy City slaughtering the Mountain People. By then, the Mountain People, unaware of the truth, will distrust the Holy City and might even attack each other."

Mashu's face turned pale. "Is this really possible? Such a vicious plan..."

Aku Hinako pushed her glasses up. "This is an open plot, not a conspiracy. Regardless of whether the Mountain People can see it or not, as long as those Shadow Servants can actually disguise themselves as real Knights of the Round Table and start killing people, and after those so-called 'lucky ones' left behind spread the word, they will definitely fall for it."

Mashu hesitated and said, "But the mountain people should have Hassan's servants here to resist, right? Otherwise, these refugees would not be able to escape the slaughter of the demonized Crusaders..."

Aku Hinako: "Of course. So I think Hassan here is probably being besieged by Shadow Servants identical to the Knights of the Round Table, perhaps even a force strong enough to kill him. Then, let the dead Hassan wander this land as a ghost with his obsession and resentment. Even if another Hassan comes to investigate, he will only get the wrong answers left by the Crusaders."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's face changed when he heard this: "Dear Da Vinci! Speed ​​up! Hassan here can't die!"

Da Vinci said nervously, "The fastest speed this car can go in this kind of mountain terrain is 60 kilometers per hour. I'm already driving at top speed!"

After hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately ordered: "Master-chan, Miss Altria, please go and provide support first!"

"Okay." x2

Scathach and Artoria didn't waste any time and immediately rushed to the burning village not far away.

The village was littered with corpses, most of them belonging to the Mountain People, and a few to the Crusaders.

The village militia and Quiet Hassan, wearing leather armor and steel weapons provided by the Holy City, fought with the Crusaders, but they were already in danger at this time, with only dozens of militiamen and Quiet Hassan struggling to survive.

Thousands of Crusaders and eight Shadow Servants dressed as Knights of the Round Table were not something they could resist. Even if Quiet Hassan was covered in poison, it could only barely prevent them from dying quickly. However, the Crusaders could wipe out all the people here in a short time.

"Lord Hassan, we can't hold on any longer!" The militia who fought hard said angrily, and shot a gun at the demonized Crusaders. Seeing that the other party rushed towards him without any pain, he stared in shock and anger at these demonized Crusaders who didn't know what death was.

Quiet Hassan, who was besieged by shadow servants, had a sad expression on her face. She took the opportunity to throw a flying knife and shot the crusader in the head, but the situation could not be reversed. There were already many demonized crusaders who had been poisoned to death around her, and she was powerless to save the situation.

"Am I going to die here today? I hope they can escape..." Quiet Hassan swung his dagger and stabbed a 'Knight of the Round Table' but couldn't distance himself and retreat. After repelling one, two more knights came to attack him. After struggling to hold on until now, he finally understood the outcome and sighed in his heart.

If she were in an open or complex area without the mountain people, perhaps she could have dealt with the invading enemy, but now, in order to ensure the safe retreat of the villagers, she had to fight a frontal battle that Hassan and his men were not good at.

"Despicable Crusaders, take my sword!" An angry shout was heard at this time, followed by a storm that swept across the earth and hit the Crusaders who surrounded the mountain people. The fierce storm tore the Crusaders into pieces.
