"Is your Kingdom fine? Is it prosperous? Is it flourishing? Are the people happy?"
"The Britannia I rule is a superpower in the world, and unifying the world is close at hand."
"Is that so?"
"I have no comment on the rest!"
Lelouch certainly wouldn't tell Saber the details, especially regarding the content of the wish. Before accepting this war, Lelouch originally had a plan called "Zero Requiem." He wanted to create a happy world for his younger sister, while severing the chain of hatred among countries. It was supposed to be like this...
But upon learning of the existence of the Dragon Balls, he had a new idea. If he could seize that thing, then there would be a better way to change the world. Such a favorable thing naturally wouldn't cause his rejection. For this reason, he answered Waver's summons. As for the danger of the Dragon Ball War? He had ignored it long ago. Walking all the way here, were there few moments of losing his life? He didn't lack this one time. Lelouch had never been a timid person.
Saber glanced at the Holy Sword in her hand, seemingly relieved. Anyway, at least she got a response from this new King of Britannia. Britannia as a superpower had been alive and well... Wasn't that what she once "expected"?
The Britannia she led perished, and the people suffered; precisely because of this, Saber wanted to change all this. Even if changing to a new King, as long as he did better than her, as long as he could continue Britannia and make it prosperous, then it would be fine.
How was Rider's appearance not a reflection of her original "wish"? Precisely because she figured this point out, Saber also lost "fighting spirit" because of this. Or rather, towards Rider, she had more emotions of admiration. The other party was also a capable person who sat on the throne of "King" at a young age.
Although not knowing which separated history the other party came from, at least it proved her efforts were not meaningless. The perished Britannia could still be saved. "Looking at your relieved expression, it's completely different from before." Looking down from above, Lelouch sensed the change in the opponent's mentality.
"Ah... my wish might have already been realized." "So, this time I can fight for my Master wholeheartedly. If your wish is also world peace, then maybe you can chat well with my Master." Producing a friendly attitude, Saber said softly.
If Britannia really continued prosperity in a certain place, she would have no necessity to pursue the Holy Grail and Dragon Balls. The current Saber, as long as she fought for her Master wholeheartedly, without any worries behind, could win victory for the latter. "Alliance?" Sitting in the cockpit, Waver thought seriously about the opponent's proposal and hesitated.
Dragon Balls... This thing that gathered them together on the grounds of "realizing omnipotent wishes." Anyone who knew would come to ask for it, and thus it would be a life-and-death struggle. The final winner would always be only one person. But if there were common wishes and goals, it wasn't impossible to become allies halfway.
"It's a good condition." "But it is understood that your Master's reputation is not very good." The corners of Lelouch's mouth raised, but he didn't refuse first. Putting aside the final ownership of the Dragon Balls for the time being, joining hands to solve other competitors was definitely beneficial.
But this didn't mean accepting unconditionally; at least he had to probe the bottom to decide the status of both sides. After all, Master and Servant and the situation; weighing these together could also indicate which side of the alliance had more right to speak. "Ugh..." Being hit on the key point by Rider, Saber didn't know how to refute either.
Kiritsugu Emiya... His title of "Magus Killer" didn't come from nowhere. It was captured by actual results; rumors about him inside the Magic Association had never been clean. Joining hands with such a guy, no guarantee when a black gun would be fired. Especially for a young man like Waver, Kiritsugu had too many ways to screw him.
"However, we are also willing to give your side a chance." "So, tell your Master to show his sincerity." But Saber, who thought the alliance would fail, was stunned immediately hearing Rider's changed tone. "I will pass it on to him." Hearing this, Saber could only do so.
'Heh... an unscrupulous man?' 'Schemes might be more than imagined.' Using the matter of "Alliance," Lelouch also harbored other purposes. Geass! As long as Saber's Master dared to show up, he would have a chance to act. Joining hands to confront harmoniously? Sorry, Lelouch wasn't that naive. Rather than believing the other party, he would rather use Geass to dominate the other party to be controlled by himself.
And the efficacy of Lelouch's "Geass" was the Power of Kings! That is, Absolute Order! The person hit couldn't disobey his order, and could even distort the target's ethics, thoughts, and beliefs. This was the "trump card" he always hid. If possible, he wanted to find all the Masters, then dominate them in one breath; this could end the war instantly.
Heroic Spirits might have ways to counter the efficacy of Geass, but ordinary humans were almost unable to do so. ... "Hmph, how could you escape!" Sola looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, who wandered in the labyrinth field and jumped out of the car, with a cold smile and spoke.
The magecraft territory she and Kayneth arranged together wasn't that easily broken through. 'Sola, you just maintain the magical energy output here, don't leave.' Remembering Kayneth's instruction, she was more or less a bit impatient. Although Kayneth was indeed more suitable to confront that group of Masters frontally than her, as Lancer's Master, she still wanted to participate personally, instead of hanging up here to "win by lying down."
Otherwise, even if she won in the end, she would feel meaningless. "Mn? Hit by the evil spirit?" Suddenly glancing at Kiritsugu Emiya in the distance being hit in the chest by the summoned evil spirit due to a rolling mistake, she whispered.
"Breathing and heartbeat can't be felt anymore." "Even if called Magus Killer, it's nothing more than this." Watching the opponent lying on the ground motionless in a wretched state, Sola also gradually lost her vigilance. "Next is to solve Assassin's Master."
The arranged magecraft territory was just to prevent someone from escaping; the original purpose of her and Kayneth was to "catch" Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya. Now Kirei Kotomine was entangled by Kayneth, and Kiritsugu Emiya was "dead," so it was meaningless for her to stay here. Pat...
She took steps walking towards the area outside the magecraft. Just as her foot stepped outside the coverage of the magecraft barrier, she heard a bad sound. Bang!! Splurt!! Pain came from the side of her abdomen; the scalding sensation fed back, as if something pierced through the flesh.
Sola's pupils dilated and shook, looking towards a certain direction. Entering her eyes was Kiritsugu Emiya standing up and shooting with a gun at some point. The opponent's emotionless eyes and the smoking muzzle indicated everything that happened before.
"What!" Why did the opponent without breathing and heartbeat stand up? How did the opponent approach this position in an instant? Various questions arose in her heart... Simply not understanding the current situation, before Sola could speak, the only answer to her was the sound of Kiritsugu Emiya's continuous firing. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!! Splurt!!
