Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 441 A Helping Hand
Just like Kiritsugu's father, Director Tenkoken, Father Mapo is Emiya Kiritsugu's nemesis to a certain extent.

Kotomine Kirei has a deep obsession with Emiya Kiritsugu, and he can often accurately grasp the idea of ​​"Magician Killer".

Mapo's plan is very effective, as follows.

Lord Ken led Lancer to attack the castle frontally, and against Saber, he led Assassin to attack from behind.

It seems to be the same as the original situation, but in fact a lot has changed.

This time Ma Po didn't act secretly without Tokiomi's knowledge, and because Assassin was exposed in advance, he was put on the bright side, and they would participate in the attack together.

And in order to prevent Hassan from stabbing his allies, Director Ken will not go to the castle, and it is Father Mapo who will take his place in the fight with Father Kiritsugu.

Father Mapo got his wish and could meet Father Kiritsugu.

But in this case, the result is completely different.

This time Caster is Rennes, therefore, Saber will fight Lancer again, instead of joining forces to deal with the French Marshal.

Although he may not necessarily lose, it is no easy task for the injured Dumao King to win against Diarmuid.

And even with the help of Hisau Maiya, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't defeat the combination of Kotomine Kirei and Assassin at all.

No matter how good Hassan is, it is not something that ordinary magicians can compete with. The Origin Bullet has no effect on followers, and Hassan has many avatars, all of whom are proficient in assassination.

To put it bluntly, if there is no external interference, the probability of Kiritsugu and Saber being eliminated is as high as [-]%.

This is the most direct impact of Rennes' "escape from feigning death". Now without him to pull hatred and attract firepower, the Einzbern family has become a target.

Of course, both Ren and Emiya Kiritsugu have actually noticed this subtle change.

The difference is that the former intentionally created this situation for a certain purpose, while the latter was forced to accept it, and suddenly fell into a desperate situation.

.........

In an unremarkable two-story building.

"Kariya, hurry up and clean up, drive to Einzbern Castle in the afternoon, it's a place where rich people live, even more luxurious than Matou Mansion!"

Ren lay lazily on the cotton-padded sofa, with a smile like an old man beeping on his face.

Kariya Matou, who was watching TV, was taken aback for a moment, and asked in bewilderment:
"Einzbern Castle? Why are we going there? Are you going to fight Saber?"

"Stupid, they said they've moved in, of course they're going to form an alliance." Ren pouted, and picked up the red wine glass on the table.

Kariya looked confused and scratched his head:

"Shouldn't we continue to hide now? They don't know our existence. We can just wait for them to kill each other and finally come out to clean up the mess."

What he said was actually quite correct. If Ren, like Saber, didn't know that the Holy Grail was polluted, and just wanted to fight for the Holy Grail, he would naturally choose to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight at this moment.

But—Ren came here to complete the main quest, and secondly, to clear the side quests as much as possible.

"Kariya, just follow my plan, I have my own arrangements."

Ren didn't bother to explain, his "wonderful" behavior is destined to be difficult for outsiders to understand.

Kariya was a little helpless, but he still believed in Wuming's level of strategy, but there was still one thing that made him hesitate.

"Wu Ming, how did you know that the Einzbern family would choose to join forces with us?"

Ren grinned and shook the goblet in his hand:

"Don't worry about it, just trust me, Emiya Kiritsugu will definitely not refuse our helping hand right now."

"Ok."

Matou Kariya nodded, although he was confused, he still chose to trust his followers.

"What do you want to take?" Kariya asked again.

"The box containing some special materials, and the crystal ball looking far away, as well as clothes, snacks, laptops..." It was time to move, and Ren began to check his luggage.

Of course, he was the one who spoke, but it was Matou Kariya who did the work.

It's noon now, and after a simple lunch, Kariya went to a clothes store and bought a few sets of expensive clothes.

He is now the head of the Jiantong family. Even if the Jiantong residence was razed to the ground by Ren, the Jiantong family is still very rich.

I have to say that although the old bug is extremely twisted, he is really talented, and he is even good at stock investment.

Ren stood upright in front of a full-length mirror, buttoned up his black suit, and put on a pair of sunshade sunglasses, looking very stylish.

Seeing this, Kariya twitched the corner of his mouth, and teased:
"Wu Ming, although I know you are a modern heroic spirit, isn't your outfit too avant-garde?"

"No, I don't want to be compared to the Knight King girl."

Ren smiled lightly, and was very satisfied with his attire at the moment. He was imitating the look of Neo, the savior in "The Matrix", of course he did it in a way that was fashionable.

Apart from being handsome, I have no other advantages.

"Let's go, let's go!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a Toyota car set off from Shenshan Town, drove westward along the national highway, and soon entered an undeveloped deep mountain forest.

.........

Since noon yesterday, that is, after knowing that Caster's Master was killed, Irisviel found that her husband's spirit had been tense, and he became even more taciturn.

Saber didn't notice this, the relationship between her and Emiya Kiritsugu was too bad, and it can't be blamed on Dumb Mao Wang, after all, Kiritsugu's father only regarded her as air or a tool person.

But Irisviel was keenly aware of her husband's abnormality.

After dismissing Saber, Irisviel caught up with her husband, and Kiritsugu had already walked to the balcony in the front yard of the castle, leaning on the handrail and looking at the forest.

"Kiritsugu, what's wrong with you?" Irisviel found that her tone became worried unconsciously.

Emiya Kiritsugu turned around unhurriedly, with a desperate expression on his face, and despair in his eyes.

Seems like she's about to burst into tears.The person standing there was not a highly skilled magician killer at all, but a weak and timid man.

Alice Felton was taken aback for a moment, she had never seen her husband show such a fragile expression.

"Kiritsugu, you..."

Without saying a word, Emiya Kiritsugu hugged his bewildered wife tightly, his chest was trembling, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"We've been calculated, and now we have no chance of winning. I can't think of a way to break the situation except to escape."

"Kiritsugu, even if Caster is not eliminated, how come we have no chance of winning?" Irisviel asked back with a surprised expression.

Unlike other masters, Emiya Kiritsugu's team can be sure that Wuming is still alive, because Irisviel's state at the moment has not been affected.

As the "little holy grail" for collecting the souls of followers, Irisviel's state will decline significantly once a follower leaves the field.

"After Caster's fake death, next, Tosaka Toki... No, Kotomine Kirei will definitely target us, he is very likely to be with Kenneth..."

Emiya Kiritsugu's tone was very urgent, and he briefly and quickly explained the current situation.

Only then did Irisviel understand how bad the situation of the Einzbern family was, and how far her husband had been pushed.

She thought for a while, and tentatively asked:

"Kiritsugu, can't we spread the news that Caster is still alive? This should divert everyone's attention, right?"

"Ai Li, it's useless, we are not a neutral Holy Church, other masters will not believe our words, they will only regard it as a lie or deception.

Moreover, even if someone believed it, it was useless, the Masters could not have another truce because of Caster. "

Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head, his face full of despair, no matter what, Kotomine Kirei would not let him go.

This time he was completely screwed, he didn't know whether Caster was on purpose or not, but after the opponent was "eliminated", his group fell into a desperate situation.

Irisviel remained silent, and she couldn't think of a way to help her husband, even if she told Saber it was useless, she knew that the King of Knights was not particularly good at scheming.

Emiya Kiritsugu moved his lips, and was about to give up the Holy Grail War and escape from Fuyuki City, but Alice Viel suddenly frowned, and hurriedly said:

"Kiritsugu, someone... no, a car broke into the barrier."

Father Kiritsugu was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at the fiery red sun that was still hanging in the sky. It's only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, even if the enemy came to the door, it shouldn't be this time.

The Holy Grail War was conducted in secret, which sounds like a joke, and of course it is.

However, basically there will be no battles in broad daylight, at least Kotomine Kirei would not choose this time point.

That is-
Sensing the turning point, a gleam of gleam flashed in Kiritsugu's father's eyes, and he instantly regained his former composure:

"Go, call Saber, let's go and have a look together!"
