Kayneth's Trump Card

Kayneth's order was interrupted by a loud gunshot before he could finish speaking!

Immediately, a large hole was blasted in the concrete ground beneath Kayneth's feet, and the warhead, now compressed into a pancake shape by the passive energy, was still emitting heat.

Kayneth, who had narrowly escaped death, showed no sign of panic. Instead, he said something meaningful:

"Ha--the mouse has finally shown its face."

The second update is here!

To the east of the central square is a department store.

The mall's main entrance, which should have been closed at night, was smashed by someone. Looking at the shattered glass all over the ground, the security guards are probably in for a headache.

However, the person who caused all of this was unaware of this.

On the rooftop of the department store, a man in a black trench coat lit a cigarette and calmly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

After a busy signal, a puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hello, may I ask you something?

"It is me— Emiya Kiritsugu."

Sitting in the car driven by Saber, Wang Xiaoming stared at his phone, which had already been hung up on by the other party, and his eye twitched involuntarily.

"Is it Emiya Kiritsugu?"

Medea, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with Wang Xiaoming, asked Wang Xiaoming a question.

"Um..."

After putting his phone away, Wang Xiaoming nodded helplessly.

What did he say?

Saber, who was driving the car, turned her attention to Wang Xiaoming. Although such driving was not safe, Saber's A-level Riding skills were enough for her to handle most situations.

He told me that Rider had arrived and that we should hurry over there.

Wang Xiaoming's reply made Saber subconsciously press the accelerator to the floor, and the silver-white car beneath her emitted a deep roar, finally beginning to show its true speed.

Wang Xiaoming, leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed, recalled the exact words Emiya Kiritsugu had just spoken to him:

"I've arrived at Lancer's location. Rider and Lancer are currently making contact. Once you arrive, I will snipe Kayneth. After I kill Kayneth, I will have Saber finish off Lancer, who has lost his Master."

Wang Xiaoming suddenly sighed inwardly.

Hopefully nothing unexpected will happen.

"Are they here?"

Before the cigarette in his hand had even finished burning, Emiya Kiritsugu, saw the headlights of a car rapidly approaching from afar.

Immediately afterwards--

We've arrived.

As Emiya Kiritsugu hung up the phone, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

Upon reaching the edge of the rooftop, there stood a sniper rifle supported by a tripod, its dark muzzle pointed directly at the central square.

Through the night vision scope of his sniper rifle, Emiya Kiritsugu could clearly see the four people from both Lancer and Rider's sides in the central square.

The scope's crosshair was first aimed at Rider's Master; the scope's clarity was so good that Emiya Kiritsugu could barely make out Waver's expression.

However, he immediately moved away from Waver.

Sniping a novice True Magic apprentice would be a piece of cake for Emiya Kiritsugu; a single pull of the trigger would bring Waver down. However, the existence of Rider makes this difficult. Even if the Master is eliminated, Rider won't disappear anytime soon.

It seems that what awaits Saber next is Rider's furious revenge. With Saber's Noble Phantasm sealed, defeating Rider is practically a pipe dream.

If you want to gain an advantage in the chaos of battle, then there is only one way...

Kiritsugu aimed the thermal sensor's sights at Lancer's Master.

Emiya Kiritsugu breathed quietly, his finger sliding towards the trigger. The muzzle didn't waver at all; the empty muzzle seemed to be staring at its target with a deadly gaze.

Bang--

The firing pin ejects the.300 Winchester caliber gun from the barrel.

A flash of fire and a deafening roar.

It broke the silence of the long night.

"Saber..."

As Wang Xiaoming stepped out of the car, he called out to the Sword Heroic Spirit, who was about to rush to the battlefield.

"What's up?"

Seeing the eager fighting spirit in Saber's eyes, Wang Xiaoming thought for a moment and then told her about Emiya Kiritsugu's plan.

"Emiya Kiritsugu!"

Watching Saber grit her teeth and utter her Master's name, Wang Xiaoming shrugged helplessly. He had known this would be the outcome, but he still had to stop it.

Wang Xiaoming had reason to suspect that Emiya Kiritsugu told him about this so that he would have to clean up his mess.

"Saber, do you intend to hand Irisviel over to someone else?"

"Of course not!"

Saber stated this with absolute certainty.

"Then you should be able to tell that Emiya Kiritsugu's plan has the highest feasibility at our current stage."

"..."

Wang Xiaoming's words left Saber speechless.

"So Saber, in this situation, you don't have the choice of how to fight. Even for Irisviel's sake, you need to act according to the plan."

"I see."

Saber replied in a low voice.

Looking at the tuft of hair on Saber's head that drooped down along with its owner's disappointment, Wang Xiaoming didn't know how to comfort Saber.

However, there was no time to comfort the dejected sword Heroic Spirit. With a gunshot, everyone's attention was drawn back to the battlefield.

The instant the shot went astray, Emiya Kiritsugu began to sheathe his weapon, preparing to move to another location for further observation.

Given Emiya Kiritsugu's familiarity with the WA2000 in his hand, there was absolutely no way he could have missed with that shot.

Since it's not a problem on their side, then Kayneth must have a new trump card!

Damn it!

Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but curse.

Now that he had lost his chance, he could only rely on Wang Xiaoming's side.

"Something's wrong!"

Having witnessed the bullet create a large crater beside Kayneth, Wang Xiaoming frowned and, overstepping his bounds, gave Saber the order:

"Saber, go and hold off Lancer so Kiritsugu has time to escape!"

The moment Wang Xiaoming uttered those words, the magical power gathered in Saber's legs erupted, causing her to shatter the ground beneath her feet and charge towards the battlefield!

"Lancer, go and catch that rat!"

Without even glancing at the "murder weapon" on the ground that had "almost taken" his life, Kayneth gave Lancer the order.

"Yes, my lord."

Lancer conjured red and yellow pistols in his hands, preparing to chase after the direction from which the bullets had been fired. With Lancer's speed, even though the rat had already left the scene, it still couldn't escape Lancer's pursuit.

But Lancer's steps, which had barely taken a few, had to come to a halt. If asked why...

"Sorry, this road is blocked!"

Saber stepped onto the battlefield and stared intently at her Lancer.

The Flower Princess Will Not Despair

Author: Xiaoyi sama

Synopsis: "Let me tell you, the enemy standing in front of you only requires two methods to deal with him."

The green-haired girl holding the parasol said this to Hua Xing.

"How should we deal with it?"

That's what Hua Xing asked.

"One shot, or one punch, and he'd have nothing left."

"What if there are still some?"

"Then let's finish with another punch."

(Emmmmm, I'm not very good at writing dirty jokes, so this book looks very serious.)

The author said it himself;

It's not a transformation!

Chapter 96. Kayneth's Trump Card

"Saber?"

Lancer's eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at the sword knight blocking his way.

"Lancer, if you want to get through, then you'd better overcome the sword in my hand first!"

Saber raised her Holy Sword and pointed it at Lancer, the slight wavering in her eyes quickly turning into determination.

"Hey, hey, hey, Saber."

The stalemate that should have continued was suddenly broken by a gruff voice. Rider questioned Saber with dissatisfaction:

"Was that person who attacked Lancer's Master from the shadows just now your Master?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, there's no doubt that the despicable person just now was my Master."

After a sigh, Saber revealed the truth.

As for Saber's way of addressing Emiya Kiritsugu, Wang Xiaoming, who was secretly observing, covered his mouth, trying to suppress the laughter that was already on the tip of his tongue.

After being glared at by Medea, he finally quieted down.

"It seems you're quite dissatisfied with your Master, Saber."

Upon hearing Saber's address to Kiritsugu, Rider didn't chuckle like Wang Xiaoming. Instead, he rested his chin on his hand and said seriously.

"After all, as Servant, we cannot actively choose our Master."

Saber's helpless words made Rider nod in agreement.
