Use FGO to open the second dimension

"......!" El-Melloi II's face changed, but he still endured it.

He kept saying to himself that he couldn't let the situation get worse, otherwise something terrible would happen.

"Humph! You talk so nicely, but in the end you still run away! You coward!"

Weber had just been arguing with El-Melloi II, and now when he heard that the other party was going to retreat, he started to mock him without hesitation. He had just been ridiculed a lot, so how could he not mock back now?

"Don't get too carried away." Iskandar said as he raised his hand and hit the guy on the head.

"Ouch!" Weber couldn't help but cry out in pain. He squatted down and covered his red forehead with his hands. The pain made the corners of his eyes sparkle.

"Then we'll leave, King of Conquerors!" Koizumi said this with a smile on his face.

After being a supporting role for so long, Koizumi doesn't want to become just a background character.

"Are you planning to escape as a Master?" Iskandar said slowly after Koizumi turned around.

"King of Conquerors! Even in war, there are strategic retreats! Not every battle can be won by simply charging forward recklessly! As the King of Conquerors, you've experienced countless wars, so you should understand this. Furthermore, running away doesn't mean I'm afraid. I simply don't want to fight a useless battle."

Speaking slowly, Koizumi turned and looked towards the King of Conquerors, meeting his gaze.

"Besides, this is a sewer pipe that can't be turned around. You won't have much of an advantage if you fight us!"

After saying this, Koizumi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile as he glanced at the enemy's chariot.

"Oh! You are very confident! In a place like this without any obstacles, I am more advantageous no matter how you look at it. This is a battlefield where my chariots can give full play to their offensive power..." Iskandar said slowly.

"You're right. We have a powerful shield that can withstand even the Holy Sword. Even your chariot, I'm sure, won't be able to break through it!" Koizumi said this, turning his gaze to Mashu beside him.

Li Xiang seemed very proud, patting Mashu's shoulder with a big smile on his face.

Hearing this, Mashu's cheeks turned slightly red, as if she was embarrassed, but the smile on her face proved her mood at the moment.

"Shield—" Iskandar turned his gaze to the shield in front of Mash, which was almost the same size as her body.

"Besides, Youmu's sword is no joke. Your lightning was blocked by her just now."

Saying this, Koizumi made room for Youmu and gave her a look.

Youmu understood what was going on and slowly stepped forward. The moment the Bailou sword was drawn out, a stern sword aura emanated from it.

A sword energy almost brushed past Iskandar's face, and a tingling sensation entered Iskandar's brain.

Feeling the piercing pain, Iskandar couldn't help but stroke his chin and fell into deep thought.

I have to admit that the opponent's fighting ability is not weak. If a fight really breaks out, it will be a very troublesome matter.

"And as a Master, I'm not completely without any fighting power—" A hint of coldness flashed in Koizumi's eyes as he spoke.

The scarlet aurora transformed into a spear that Koizumi tightly grasped, and a massive amount of magical power swept around him.

Seeing Gungnir in Koizumi's hand, Iskandar sensed the divine power of Gungnir, the source of the energy body, the [Meteor Spear - Gungnir]. Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in Iskandar's eyes.

"Oh! That's a Noble Phantasm! Hmm! No, that's not right... I can sense the divine power within it. It must be a divinely crafted weapon once possessed by some god... It's truly astonishing that it's been preserved in later generations... Are you a descendant of a hero? Or do you possess the blood of a god?"

After hearing Iskandar's words, Waver's face was suddenly filled with shock.

"How is this possible? The divinely crafted armor possessed by the gods of the past has been passed down to future generations! The descendants of heroes..."

As he spoke, Waver became a little confused. Could such a monster have actually infiltrated this Holy Grail War?

"Then, since you are so confident, why don't you dare to fight me?" Iskandar frowned.

In response, Koizumi simply shrugged, a hint of helplessness appearing in his eyes.

"You are not my target, so why should I fight you? Isn't this just like having nothing to do after eating? I have always believed in not fighting useless battles. After all, it is just a waste of time."

"But isn't it normal for Heroic Spirits to fight each other during the Holy Grail War? And with such a rare opportunity, with heroes from different eras gathered here, wouldn't it be a shame not to have a proper duel?"

Iskandar smiled proudly, but Koizumi simply shrugged.

"That was certainly the case during the Holy Grail War, but we are not the Masters and Servants of the Holy Grail War. There are three Servants and two Masters here. Have you ever seen such abnormal behavior? It's obvious that we are not the Servants and Masters of the Holy Grail War."

"You...what do you mean? Not the Servant and Master from the Holy Grail War?"

Weber was stunned for a moment, completely unable to react.

"Well, you are right. The combination of three Servants and two Masters is indeed abnormal. Such a combination is basically impossible in the Holy Grail War, and Caster's job is also repeated..." Iskandar nodded and said.

"As long as you understand, there's no need for us to fight you here. It's meaningless. And there's no need for you to ask who we are. At least we're not your enemies, so please rest assured."

Having said that, Koizumi and the others were about to leave, but—

"Well, since you said that, I have a suggestion."

Iskandar's words made Koizumi and the others stop in their tracks. They looked at him with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

"Would you like to join my army? That way, I can share with you the joy and pride of conquering the world!"

Chapter 463 Isn’t This Fraud?

"Would you like to join my army? That way, I can share with you the joy and pride of conquering the world!"

Iskandar's words made El-Melloi II narrow his eyes slightly, a hint of nostalgia rising in his heart.

Koizumi, Youmu, Ritsuka, and Mashu couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on their faces.

Iskandar ignored the looks of Koizumi and the others and continued speaking.

"Since your goal is not the Holy Grail, why not join my army and present the Holy Grail to me? In this way, I can treat you as friends and share the joy of conquering the world with me."

After a moment of stunned silence, Koizumi revealed a hint of helplessness. He was indeed the legendary King of Conquerors.

"I am very happy for the King of Conquerors' appreciation, but people with different ideals cannot work together. Just because we cannot be enemies does not mean we will definitely be friends. So, I am sorry, I cannot agree to your request. So, I am sorry, Mashu, let us go back first."

Having said this, Koizumi gave Ritsuka and the others a look, then slowly walked away in the direction they came from.

Mashu couldn't help but show a hint of confusion on her face. Logically speaking, now should be the most suitable time to form an alliance with Rider. Why didn't Mr. Koizumi take the opportunity to agree and fight alongside Rider?

Ritsuka couldn't help but glance at Koizumi beside him, but didn't say anything.

After all, it was Koizumi, and she still trusted Koizumi very much. Since he said so, there must be some truth to it.

Well, it's true that I'm annoyed with this guy who keeps finding excuses to improve the impression between me and my schoolmate.

"Well... the treatment can be negotiated... As for your purpose, I will also help if necessary. After all, you have become my subjects, right..." As a monarch, Iskandar is very good to his subjects. Otherwise, he would not have such exaggerated personal charm. Even El-Melloi II is willing to become his subject.

In response, Koizumi simply smiled softly and said nothing, silently leading Mashu and the others away.

Our goals are incompatible. You want to seize the Holy Grail, and I also have to bring the Holy Grail to Chaldea.

So, while Koizumi and Iskandar might be able to work together, it's definitely impossible for them to do so until the end.

El-Melloi II glanced at Iskandar with a slightly complicated look, then slowly left.

After leaving, El-Melloi II stomped his feet frantically, as if to vent his anger. "Ahhh, I'm so angry! Servants have to intervene in the quarrels between Masters! Is this a bad parent? A doting, protective parent!"

"But, after finally coming into contact with the third Servant, Rider...is it really okay if he refuses to cooperate?"

Dr. Roman looked at Koizumi with a puzzled expression. El-Melloi II was fine, but when Koizumi was speaking, Iskandar clearly stated his willingness to cooperate with Koizumi and the others. Although he was a vassal, Iskandar couldn't stay in the real world forever, so to put it bluntly, it was just a temporary agreement.

Mashu and Ritsuka couldn't help but look at Koizumi. Although they trusted him, they still had doubts.

"Who cares! They're just helping guys who aren't prepared to fight properly." El-Melloi II snorted coldly. He didn't have any opinion on Koizumi's decision, but he still looked at him.

"Don't forget, we want to recover the Holy Grail or destroy it. Do you think he'll still cooperate with us after knowing our purpose? The other party only made the invitation because we are not the Masters and Servants of the Holy Grail War. Naturally, they will think that we don't need the Holy Grail of the Holy Grail War and are only here for some other purpose. But after knowing this, it's good that they didn't fight. What's more, Iskandar is a guy who does things in a confusing way. If we really team up with him, the instability will be too high!" Koizumi analyzed slowly.

"Koizumi's judgment is absolutely correct. The King of Conquerors is indeed a very reckless individual. He cannot be judged by common sense."

El-Melloi II nodded slowly and apologized to Koizumi.

"I'm sorry, I was a little too rude just now and caused you some trouble."

In response, Koizumi simply chuckled and waved his hand before slowly speaking.

"It doesn't matter. No one is perfect. Everyone loses control sometimes, right?"

El-Melloi II nodded silently, and in his heart, he had a higher opinion of Koizumi's idea.

"So, what should we do next?" Ritsuka looked at El-Melloi II and spoke slowly.

"According to your idea, Mr. El-Melloi II, we must ensure the survival of Saber, Lancer, and Rider, and retain Berserker for the time being. If Caster is eliminated, only Archer and Assassin will remain. Let's put those two aside for now. We are still cooperating with Kayneth at this moment, so how should we adjust the situation over there? They are still hostile to Saber and the others for the Holy Grail, right?"

"That's the problem. Even if we charge like a bat, there's a limit." El-Melloi II held his chin, a thoughtful look on his face. "Hmm... Looks like we need another plan here."

"Is there any way to convince them?" Mashu couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt.

"One of the quickest ways to get someone to agree with a conclusion is to create a fictional setting that's most suitable for that person. From this perspective, when talking to Sir Kenneth, as long as we maintain the premise that 'the world revolves around him'... he'll believe it without a doubt. It's truly easy to manipulate. This is the strategy of a strategist who deeply understands human nature."

Having said that, a smile appeared on El-Melloi II's face.

However, Koizumi felt that the smile was a bit like the one he had seen on Mr. Zhuge's face.

It’s not quite right to describe it as an ordinary smile. It would be closer to the confident smile of a military advisor.

"Isn't this just fraud? Strategist or something... maybe calling him a fraudster would be more appropriate..."

Koizumi couldn't help but grumble slowly.

"Fufufu..." Fufu couldn't help but call out in agreement, jumping onto Koizumi's shoulder.

"Indeed, it seems that people like military advisors all have bad personalities..."

Ritsuka couldn't help but nod, a look of deep approval on her face.

Mashu gave an awkward yet polite smile. In fact, she probably agreed with what her senior said.

However, it was obvious that El-Melloi II did not care about the performance of the two people, and just spoke slowly.

"Now that we have an idea, let's go meet up with Lord Kenneth."

Chapter 464 The Essence of Nonsense

This was the top suite in NewTower, and Koizumi and the others soon returned here.

After seeing Koizumi and the others return, Kenneth's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.

After all, Gu Quan and others were meritorious officials on his side, so he treated them very well.

"Oh! You're back! Thank you for your hard work! Thanks to you, I've already got the reward for destroying Caster." As he said this, Kenneth raised his left hand to show Koizumi and the others. There should have been three Command Seals on it, and next to those three Command Seals there was a bright red brand.

In response to this, Koizumi could only say that you are still too young. My Command Seals still regenerate one per day.

And according to Yakumo Yukari, since the power of the contract on her side has reached the level of affecting cause and effect, the power of the Command Seals created based on the contract will undoubtedly be more useful than Ritsuka's.

That's why Koizumi feels that Sir Kenneth, you are still too young to be so happy with just one Command Seal.

Because the favorability of the servants on Koizumi's side is generally very high, Koizumi basically does not use the Command Spells.

Only when facing some powerful enemies does Koizumi need to use Command Spells to strengthen his Servants.

According to Koizumi's speculation, the opponent had become much friendlier because he was truly helping them.

It seems that even though the reason was explained at the beginning, there was still a trace of caution in his heart.

He is a monarch after all. If the monarchs of the Clock Tower were all such arrogant and conceited people, something bad would have happened long ago.

"Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I'm afraid all your efforts will be in vain..."

El-Melloi II bowed slightly to Kenneth in front of him, with a hint of regret in his tone.

I have to admit that someone like a military advisor would lie to people without blinking an eye.

"What? What's going on?" Kenneth couldn't help but frown.

"In fact, just now, we've made significant progress. No, we could say we've achieved decisive results. By successfully observing several uncertainties, we've been able to significantly increase the amount of information we can reveal while avoiding paradoxes. And as a result... I can now reveal the truth to you. The true meaning of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War."

El-Melloi II looked at Kenneth in front of him solemnly and spoke slowly.

Koizumi raised an eyebrow slightly. Was the other party planning to make him withdraw from the Holy Grail War and hand over the Servant Lancer Diarmuid Odina by spouting nonsense about its significance?

We have to admit that the other party has strong eloquence, and Zhuge Kongming also had a history of debating with many scholars.

"What...what is that?" Kenneth frowned slightly, looking doubtful.

"By the way, don't you find it strange?" El-Melloi II didn't get to the point, but instead brought up another point. "A battle for the universal wish-granting machine—such a grand ceremony—would be held in such a remote place, far from the Clock Tower. And of the seven participants recruited, only one is reserved for the Magic Association..."

"Well, that's why this war isn't necessarily risky. I saw through its unworthy nature and participated in it just for fun." Kenneth nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

"Rather than saying it's unworthy of its name, it's more like a name without substance. The Holy Grail War held in Fuyuki is actually just a fictitious event." El-Melloi II's words were so shocking that Koizumi couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Are you kidding me? I could probably accept any excuse you give, but this one... isn't it too ridiculous!

Do you think that the Caster we met was also an actor from somewhere pretending to be him?

Not to mention Koizumi, even Ritsuka's expression seemed a little off, causing Mashu to secretly wink.

"Senior, your expression is wrong! You have to be expressionless here!"
