The news of Saber's elimination quickly spread to both the Red and Black camps. Almost every Master and Servant who heard the news was surprised, and even speechless for a moment.
Although it was normal for the Magic Association to suffer losses after the battle began as the Servants gathered, no one expected that the first one to be eliminated would be Saber, and the one who killed Saber would be Assassin.
Of course, in theory, Saber is not invincible. Even if she has the strongest attributes among all servants, Saber will be defeated for various reasons. But dying at the hands of Assassin is still somewhat unbelievable.
Even though most people guessed that Assassin defeated Saber by killing her Master, this was still surprising. In the Holy Grail War, except for a few Servants who possessed the class skill of [Act Alone], other Servants would be doomed immediately once they were cut off from their Masters. Therefore, it was very important for Servants to protect their Masters, and Saber naturally could not be unaware of this, but even so, she was still ambushed by Assassin...
"I never realized that the child possessed such a powerful strength."
Looking out the window, Fiore couldn't help but sigh. She remembered that she had met Fang Zheng's ASSASSIN before. She was a very cute girl. But what Fiore didn't expect was that she would have such power.
However, not everyone shares her thoughts.
"Master, I have something to say."
"What is it? Chiron?"
Hearing the voice coming from beside her, Fiore put down the teacup in her hand and looked at the Servant standing beside her - that was the ARCHER she summoned, Chiron.
He is the most outstanding sage of the Centaurs in Greek mythology, and the mentor of many heroes in Greek mythology. Many great heroes, including Hercules and Achilles, have been taught by him, and he was once a complete god. At the same time, he is also a very kind and intelligent person. Fiore loves him as her mentor and friend, and has great respect for this sage of the Centaurs.
"Excuse me, but from my feeling, I think Mr. Fang Zheng's servant should not be Jack the Ripper."
"Why?"
Hearing Chiron's answer, Fiore was stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
"Because of her eyes. The girl has a pair of clear and pure eyes, as pure as a baby's. I can be sure that the child will never kill any life with her own hands. Therefore, I think she should not be Jack the Ripper, because I can't feel the breath and shadow of death on her. This is very different from the legendary London killer."
"...In other words, Mr. Fang Zheng is hiding the true information of his Servant from us? But that child does have the skill of 'breath concealment'..."
"It's also possible that he's a Servant known for his non-lethal skills such as concealment. After all, being unable to kill is a fatal weakness in the Holy Grail War. If you reveal your real name, you'll probably be targeted."
“That’s true…”
Hearing this, Fiore nodded. In history and mythology, there were many thieves and thieves who were said to "not kill". If the child was one of them, then this alone would be fatal.
"But...if it wasn't that child, could it be Mr. Fang Zheng?"
"That's a dangerous man."
At this point, Chiron's expression became serious. But facing his answer, Fiore's expression became a little subtle.
"Danger? Danger?"
"Ah, sorry, I'm not saying that he has ulterior motives or is evil. On the contrary, he reminds me of the heroes of my time, or even earlier times. Although I don't know what he has been through, I can see from his eyes that he is a warrior with a strong character and has been through a lot. The obstacles and dangers he has overcome are beyond our imagination... To be slightly offensive, in the eyes of us servants, the magicians of this era are mostly harmless kittens even if they have awakened. But he seems to have walked out of the primitive jungle, full of wild lions and tigers. The two sides are not on the same level at all. Even for me, it takes some courage to stand in front of him. If I have to say... that little girl is more like a Master, and he is more like a Servant."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Fiore finally understood what Chiron meant, and Chiron nodded.
"But no matter what, the Red Faction's loss of Saber should be a big blow. They may be more cautious in their next actions."
It turned out that Chiron's guess was correct.
"SABER is dead? This is not a funny joke."
Standing in the cathedral, the red servants were obviously not so relaxed.
After all, from the beginning of the Holy Grail War to now, they have been gradually falling into a disadvantage. Not only did they consume one of LANCER's Command Seals, but even Saber, one of the three riders, was killed. Under such circumstances, the situation of the Red Camp is already quite bad.
But even so, the young priest standing in the middle still showed a confident smile.
"Don't worry, everyone. Saber's failure was just an accident. We already have enough countermeasures. Of course... in order to prevent something like this from happening again, I think we should suspend our actions recently to avoid being caught by the enemy. Even though Saber has disappeared, we still have Lancer and Rider... and our plan is going smoothly."
“…Is there really no problem?”
The girl with long emerald green hair and holding a longbow frowned and stared at the young priest warily.
"I think we should meet with the Master and discuss how to deal with this problem."
"There's no need to worry about that. They are now being effectively protected, and facts have proven that their choice was correct. I don't think any of you would want to die in such a miserable way as Saber did."
Although the Red Faction did not have as much information about Fang Zheng as the Thousand World Tree, with the help of the Holy Church, they also got the news that Saber's master had been killed. From the traces of the fatal blow, it can be guessed that it was very likely that the opponent killed Saber's master, which caused Saber to lose the source of magic power and had to withdraw from the battle.
It must be admitted that for a Servant, this is arguably the most cowardly way to die.
Because of this, the Red Faction's servants did not refute the priest's answer as much as before. Facts have also proved that it is more appropriate to act as a group than to run around like Saber and her Master and get killed.
"Ah...! What a wonderful fate!"
At this moment, suddenly, a voice was heard, breaking the silence in the cathedral. Everyone looked up and saw a man dressed in stylish medieval clothes walking in with a big laugh.
"It's really hard to believe. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as nothing that is unrelated. Even though we are just companions who have been together for a few days, we still have a brotherly friendship."
Hearing the man's slightly exaggerated words, the other servants present showed some subtle expressions, and the young priest shook his head.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, CASTER. Is there something wrong with BERSERKER?"
"Hmm... just a little problem."
"…A small problem?"
"yes."
In response to the priest's question, CASTER smiled and nodded.
"After learning about Saber's exit, BERSERKER seems to be quite angry. In order to avenge his companions, he has already headed towards Tolyface!"
“…This is terrible…”
