You're Surrounded / You're Done For!

Do we really have to wait until the very last night?

Yuxian was somewhat unwilling. He wanted to end this matter as soon as possible. It had only been a few days, but he was already getting annoyed. He was not the kind of person who could work hard for something for a long time.

He had already begun to miss the laid-back lifestyle; he was not used to this intense and fast-paced life, nor did he want to get used to it.

The children, unusually, didn't take their Servant to Ryuudou Temple today. They were sitting together, seriously assigning tasks to everyone.

"Grandpa, you continue to be in charge of filming. We can't go to the location, so you must make sure we see the most exciting scenes."

"The great hero is in charge of reconnaissance."

"The others, like this... like this..."

The children looked very serious as they diligently prepared, refining their plans little by little.

Those who didn't know better would think they were plotting something today.

They really went all out for the fun.

Section 279, Chapter 58: You are surrounded.

As the sun sets again, night falls on a new day.

Tonight will be a sleepless night.

The children hid in a room early on, watching the latest developments.

Only one Servant remained by their side: Hans Christian Andersen.

Hans Christian Andersen, who had no fighting ability, was left here to write stories, and the children did not assign him any work, which made him feel both fortunate and sad.

Fortunately, he didn't have to act awkwardly; sadly, the children considered him the most useless one.

In the scene, Arash leaps through the city; he is a scout, his job is reconnaissance and attraction.

After Arash had located everyone, he began to think carefully; he needed to find a suitable target.

How to ensure that Yuxian and his companions, scattered throughout the city, are all drawn to the designated location along a predetermined route is a highly technical task.

Too early or too late would be detrimental to their plans, and Arash was very conscientious about this. Since he was going to do it, he wanted to do it to the best of his ability, because he was a great hero.

Whoosh!

An arrow pierced the sky and landed near Waver and his group; Arash's first target was Waver and his companions.

Waver's team had the most members, four people, and they were located the furthest from the destination. If they weren't allowed to move first, they would likely fall behind the others.

As for the others, whether it's Tamamo Cat or Mordred, they don't actually need him to attract them. He only needs to reveal his figure slightly, and they will naturally catch up.

As Arash retreated, he deliberately revealed himself to the crowd time and time again along the planned route.

Anyone who has played the game will find this scene very familiar.

This is just like an archer luring monsters in a game!

Gather the monsters together, then the mage can wipe them out with a wave of AOE attacks—it's so satisfying!

It's just that these 'strange' beings have a somewhat special identity now.

Yuxian kept meeting up with others along the way, and the group gradually grew larger. He even spotted Cú Chulainn and Bazett among them.

"They've been tricked! They've been tricked!"

The children in the room cheered with joy at the sight. Their plan was proceeding smoothly and things were going as they had intended, which gave them a great sense of accomplishment.

"I wonder if Jeanne d'Arc and the others are ready. They absolutely cannot let us down!"

The children's view was now fixed on Yuxian and his group; Jeanne d'Arc and the others, who had been lying in ambush at the designated location, were not in their sight.

They were unaware of the details of the situation there.

The children chose a secluded location near the foot of Mount Enzou.

They were well aware that they absolutely could not do this in the city, otherwise they would really be hung up and beaten.

Yuxian and his group gradually discovered Arash's intentions.

Mash said, "Senior, Arash is deliberately leading us to a certain place."

Yuxian nodded, but it was impossible for him to give up at this moment.

"We'll do as he wishes and go see what tricks they're playing and what their purpose is."

Faced with such a massive force, he didn't believe Arash and his Master could pull off any tricks.

At this point, he absolutely could not back down; he hoped to resolve the entire situation in one go.

Sure enough, when Arash led them to an open space at the foot of Mount Enzou, Yuxian noticed that he had stopped and was watching them with a smile from a distance.

"Arash, what is your purpose in bringing us here!"

Yuxian called out to Arash from a distance, but he received no Arash.

If there was anyone who knew the truth of the matter at this moment, it was Rin Tohsaka, who was standing far behind the group with her arms crossed, looking like she was watching a show.

She knew who Arash's Master was, and this was the place where she had last met the children.

They even chose the exact same location. Who else could it be but them?

However, Rin Tohsaka had no intention of stepping forward to expose the children's secret. She entered spectator mode and deliberately stood at the back of the group to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

At this point, she and Ishtar were in agreement: if they could watch a play, they would definitely not miss it.

It has to be said that, to some extent, there is a reason why Ishtar would possess Rin Tohsaka; the two of them do share some very similar quirky tastes.

Arash smiled but didn't say anything, because three more figures soon appeared on the scene.

They and Arash stood in four directions, surrounding Yuxian and his party from all sides.

Heracles, the King of the Cavern, and Joan of Jeanne d'Arc slowly appeared, ready for battle.

"You were... you were..."

Jeanne d'Arc stammered, unable to bring herself to say the words, but Little Jeanne insisted that she be the one to deliver the line.

Her face was burning hot; as Saintess, she had never been asked to do such a task before.

Finally, she steeled herself and, mimicking Little Jeanne's " what's the use" attitude, shouted, "You're surrounded! It's not too late to surrender!"

After shouting the entire sentence out, Jeanne d'Arc suddenly felt that it wasn't difficult at all, and even felt a little happy.

Does doing this really make you happy? Jeanne d'Arc seems to have discovered something incredible.

"Ha?"

Yuxian stared blankly at Jeanne d'Arc of Arc who was speaking. At that moment, she felt as if the person in front of her was not the Saintess Jeanne d'Arc, but Little Jeanne.

"Saintess of Jeanne d'Arc, Heracles, the Edmond Dantès, plus the great hero Arash, this lineup is a bit mismatched!"

These four Heroic Spirit are undeniably powerful, but they're also completely mismatched; they just seem odd together.

Yuxian said to Jeanne d'Arc, "Hey! Your Saintess, this is an ambush. It's not appropriate for someone of your stature to do this."

"None of your business!"

Jeanne d'Arc replied irritably, harboring deep resentment towards Yuxian. "It's all your fault for not keeping a proper eye on those children. Otherwise, would she need to do this?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She pointed the flag in her hand forward, assuming an offensive stance.

Yuxian's side certainly had an absolute advantage in numbers, but many of them were not particularly strong in combat, especially him, whose strength was only negative.

Surrounded by four Servant from four directions, they had no choice but to proceed with caution.

They are now on the defensive, or even the weaker side.

A battle seemed imminent.

Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but roll her eyes. She quickly walked to a large tree in the distance, leaned against it gently, waved her hand, and said, "You guys fight, I won't get involved."

Chapter 59, Section 280: You're finished!

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka acted as if it was none of his business, Yuxian assumed that Ishtar was speaking and didn't pay much attention.

Kama also showed no intention of intervening. As a deity, she was not in a hurry at all, and this was not enough to make her feel threatened.

Tamamo Cat, Cú Chulainn, and Mordred each faced off against Arash, the Earl, and Heracles, respectively.

Jeanne d'Arc of Arc's situation was left to Lainis and Gretel to handle.

The battle quickly unfolded simultaneously on all four sides. Mash stayed close to Yuxian, allowing Yuxian to observe everyone's situation.

Tamamo Cat and Arash seem to be fine; it doesn't look like a battle that can be resolved in a short time.

Mordred and Cú Chulainn were under a lot of pressure.

Mordred, in particular, was facing Heracles, who was not one to hold back in battle. His Mordred Heracles and looking quite disheveled.

The same was true for Cú Chulainn. The Earl was clearly not an easy opponent to deal with, and Cú Chulainn was too busy dealing with him to have any energy left to attend to anything else.

Gretel and Lainis, on the other hand, seemed much more relaxed when facing Jeanne d'Arc of Arc.

Since it was two against one, and Jeanne d'Arc's attacks weren't as fierce as the others', Lainis even had the energy to observe the surrounding movements, appearing quite at ease.

Besides Yuxian, Waver was also focused on everything on the battlefield, appearing very calm.

"Lainis, that's enough."

Lainis, having received Waver's prompting, knew she needed to act. The Trimmaou behind her melted into a pool of mercury, and she gently waved her right hand.

"Victory requires no ingenious schemes or trump cards. As long as you are well-prepared, you will win naturally."

The Silent Formation!

As Lainis unleashed Sima Yi's Noble Phantasm, an illusory sun and an illusory moon slowly rose simultaneously on the horizon.

A phantom scene enveloped the entire battlefield, causing some strange changes.

This is Sima Yi's Hunyuan Qi Formation. It has no offensive power, but it can play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. In this Silent Formation, the opponent's strengths are defeated and their weaknesses are exposed.

This is a very peculiar Eastern formation, and there is no doubt that such a formation has a very significant impact on combat.

No one is without weaknesses; they are just difficult to discover. Sima Yi's Noble Phantasm achieves victory by discovering the opponent's weaknesses.

Under certain conditions, he can even create weaknesses out of thin air.

Of course, this requires very detailed intelligence about the opponent, and this time it is clear that it has not yet reached that level of power.

Nevertheless, Lainis's intervention shifted the balance of the battle, making things much easier for the others.

This is the role of a strategist. Regardless of what Sima Yi himself thought, he was always a man of extraordinary wisdom, and commanding in battle was always his strength.

"Wow! How cunning, they actually used Noble Phantasm!"

"This is not fair!"

When the children saw Lainis activate her Noble Phantasm in the scene, they became somewhat dissatisfied, as they had no intention of letting their Servant unleash their Noble Phantasm.

Mordred and Cú Chulainn, who were initially struggling to hold on, suddenly found themselves locked in a fierce battle with their opponents, turning the fight into a protracted stalemate.

Neither side could gain the upper hand.

The fierce battle is still ongoing.

At this moment, Kama, who had been silent until now, reacted.

She frowned, her gaze towards Jeanne d'Arc of Arc showing a hint of disgust. She hated dazzling humans the most, and clearly, in this place, the one who attracted her attention the most was Saintess Jeanne d'Arc.

Jeanne d'Arc of Kama, who possessed labels such as purity and holiness, was the kind of person that Kama disliked the most.

She suddenly moved swiftly towards Jeanne d'Arc.

Jeanne d'Arc, who was already struggling under the attacks of Gretel and Lainis, was caught off guard by Kama's sudden sneak attack and was immediately struck by her.

Caught off guard, Jeanne d'Arc of Arc was thrown backward and crashed to the ground.
