It could be said that Fangzheng had calculated 90% of the success rate of the ambush, but what left him helpless was that the remaining 10% exceeded his expectations.
Of course, Fangzheng knew that Red Archer Atalanta had an inherent skill called [Cross Arcadia], which was described as "being able to move across all obstacles on the battlefield, including the enemy".
At that time, Fangzheng just subconsciously thought that "all obstacles" referred to physical obstacles, but he did not expect that even his magic was regarded as an "obstacle"!
The only fortunate thing was that although Atalanta ran away, she was also seriously injured. She could cross all obstacles, but it did not mean that she could escape attacks. Fangzheng saw that soon after the Red Archer escaped, she was caught up by the powerful magic [Missile Storm] that he released, and she was beaten half to death. However, she was also very strong-willed. She actually dragged her crippled body and ran away.
"Blackie, don't chase, the other party is faster than you."
Fangzheng stopped Blackie's idea of chasing. Atalanta's Agility was A, and Blackie's Agility was B, not to mention that the other party was running for her life. Fangzheng's sneak attack was meant to catch the enemy off guard. Now that the enemy knew that someone was sneaking up on them, it naturally wouldn't be that easy for them to succeed.
Although he failed to kill the Red Archer as planned, the death of the Black Saber could be regarded as achieving his goal. So Fangzheng packed up and prepared to go back to wash up and sleep … That was his original plan.
But after seeing another uninvited figure on the screen, Fangzheng changed his mind.
"Blackie, you go back first."
"What's wrong? Big brother? "
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Blackie was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and again projected the two swords in his hands.
"Enemy?"
"A more troublesome guy is coming this way. Although I don't know what she wants, she is definitely coming for us. You are a servant, and you are not her opponent. To be on the safe side, you go back first, I will go meet her. "
As he said, Fangzheng looked at the screen in front of him. There, a girl with long blonde hair was wearing a servant's costume, running quickly towards where they were. Her direction was very clear, and there was no one else on this road, so it was certain that the other party should be coming for them.
"I know, big brother, be careful."
Blackie nodded very simply, then walked to the side of Kuang San's clone. Soon, a dark shadow quickly emerged, completely swallowed the two, and disappeared under the ground. Although the little guy was usually mischievous, he was a lot more decisive than Ilya in battle. This was also the reason why Fangzheng had brought Little Black and not Ilya here to fight. If it were Ilya, that little girl who was always overcautious would probably not have been able to cooperate with Fangzheng to such an extent.
Comparing the two Ilyas, in Fangzheng's opinion, the two had their own strengths and weaknesses. Ilya's strength was that she was cute, obedient, and sensible. Simply put, she was the perfect "other people's child" for her age. On the other hand, Blackie was a little mischievous, liked to tease others, and was also very dirty …. Well, Fangzheng was a little afraid that she would lead Shiono astray.
But on the other hand, in terms of cooperation in battle, Blackie was a very ideal partner. On the other hand, Ilya was a little overcautious in battle. Unless she was determined to deal with an enemy, it would be hard for her to display her true strength.
From this point of view, Ilya and Shiono were somewhat similar. It was no wonder that the two little guys stuck together all day long.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng smiled and shook his head. Then, he turned around and looked behind him.
"So, what brings you here, Lady Saintess?"
Along with Fangzheng's voice, a young girl walked out from behind a tree. She had long blond hair, wore a dark purple combat suit, and held a flag in her hand. Fangzheng had seen this girl before. She was the most special servant in the Holy Grail War, the Ruler – Jeanne d 'Arc.
"You must be Black's Master."
Jeanne looked at Fangzheng quietly, without the slightest expression on her face.
"That's right."
Facing the Saintess' question, Fangzheng nodded. Jeanne frowned and stared at Fangzheng.
"I'm sorry, but you've violated the rules of the Holy Grail War."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows.
"I wonder which rule it is?"
"You've violated the rules by summoning more servants than the number of servants, and they've overlapped with an existing class. This is a violation of the rules of the Holy Grail War …"
Fangzheng was not surprised by Jeanne's accusation. He had already investigated Jeanne's skills through the 'Flag of Denunciation', and he was mentally prepared that his tricks might be seen through by the other party. Therefore, even if Jeanne appeared in front of him and announced that he had violated the rules, it would not hurt Fangzheng.
"So? Lady Saintess, are you going to give me a red card? "
"That's right."
Jeanne nodded and looked at Fangzheng again.
"You've caused an unknown impact on the Holy Grail War by violating the rules. As the Ruler of this Holy Grail War, I can't turn a blind eye to this, so I ask you to hand over the command incantation and give up your qualification as a Master. I can guarantee your safety."
"What if I refuse?"
"Then I'll have to enforce it."
As she spoke, Jeanne raised the weapon in her hand facing Fangzheng.
"I must maintain the fairness and justice of this Holy Grail War. It's my duty!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jeanne rushed forward and pounced on Fangzheng.
"Boom!!"
When Jeanne came to Fangzheng's side, a flame suddenly burst out from Fangzheng's body and spread around. Jeanne hurriedly put away the flag and cautiously retreated. She looked at the flame in front of her in surprise, not knowing what was going on for a while.
Logically speaking, as a Ruler, Jeanne should not be afraid of ordinary flames. Even flames condensed from magic would not be able to hurt her. But for some reason, after seeing the flame burst out from Fangzheng's body, her intuition warned her to avoid it immediately, or she would suffer a disaster.
Because of this, Jeanne chose to retreat. But … What the hell is going on?
"I didn't want to cause any trouble."
Fangzheng's voice emerged from the flame again. The next moment, he walked out of it with two swords in his hands. Fangzheng had changed back into the armor of Faran's Undead Squad. He raised his head, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Seeing Fangzheng's current form, Jeanne was shocked.
"It's you!?"
"That's right, Miss Saintess."
Fangzheng turned the greatsword in his hand, raised it, and pointed it at Jeanne.
"To be honest, I didn't intend to go against you. Isn't it good for everyone to do their own things? But now, it seems that between you and me, only one of us can leave this place alive. This is really unfortunate. Although I admit that I broke the rules, it doesn't mean that I'm willing to accept punishment. I must get the Holy Grail, and you … "
The corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.
"If you want to stop me with your restraint, then show me what you've got … Well, I'm sorry, but it seems that I have to add you to the list of firewood."
"— —!"
Jeanne did not know what Fangzheng was talking about, but at the moment, she had a serious expression on her face, as if she was facing a formidable enemy. Before, Jeanne only regarded Fangzheng as a Master who violated the rules of the Holy Grail War, but now, she regarded him as her most powerful enemy. Jeanne had witnessed the battle between Fangzheng and Karna. She knew very well that although the knight in front of her was not a Servant, he had strength comparable to a top-level Servant …
"Then, here I come …!"
