B+ rank anti-personnel weapon - the blue spearman with spinning thrusts!
Capture range: 1-∞
Duke had no idea what the maximum capture range of Hercules' spearmen was, but it was definitely more than the total number of people present.
Lancer was lifted up by his feet and swung out a spinning shadow. Due to the outward centrifugal force, he vomited shamefully. A mosaic of solid and liquid mixed in the sky was scattered in all directions. Everyone was mentally shocked because this treasure had the greatest lethality to the Archer class. Red A was hit the hardest and he held onto the tree beside him and retched.
Disgusted, Duke quickly asked Hercules to stop his violence, but the latter was not satisfied and threw Lancer twice more before dropping him to the ground.
The unfortunate Lancer lay on the ground with his head tilted, his eyes rolled back, foam coming out of his mouth, and his hands and feet twitching occasionally. He was in a state of shock. If he was left alone, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it wouldn't be a big deal. Wild dogs are very tenacious.
Medea looked disgusted, and resisted the urge to take out the treasure 'Wan Fu Bing Ying Po Jie' and stabbed Lancer in the chest, and then transplanted the command seal to Duke. Without any hesitation, she liked flat girls like Saber, and the muscular wild dog was not within her aesthetic range.

Kenneth may be good at magic, but he is not a wise leader. He insults Diarmuid's loyalty at every turn, but Diarmuid is willing to endure his insults, not fighting back, not even refusing his fiancée. As a legendary hero, he has no dignity at all, and it feels like his bloodiness has been completely castrated.
Lancer scratched his head. "In fact, I have been responsible for collecting intelligence, patrolling back and forth in Fuyuki City and reporting the intelligence of the Servants participating in the war to him. Apart from that, he did not give me any other orders, and the number of times we met was very small."
He himself is a bold and unrestrained person, loyal and hates betrayal. However, he has to obey new Masters repeatedly because of the Command Seals, so one can imagine how depressed he feels.
Lancer: “…”
Duke blurted out, “Yes!”
"So, if you don't change a few masters, how do you know tomorrow will be better?"
Lancer looked disgusted: "This is what makes me depressed. They are well-known figures in their respective times, but they have no sense of shame at all."
"As for magic power, I alone can provide it. I have also figured out some tricks for the passage outside the world. If it doesn't work, we still have Medea. It is a foul for a magician in the mythological era to be defeated now. She alone can analyze the principle of the Holy Grail's descent."
However, Duke also agreed with Lancer. It was just an Assassin. What kind of trouble could he cause? The original Hassan, in theory, could not be summoned. It didn't matter if he was summoned. Maybe he could have another Servant.
Duke decided to enlighten Lancer for the sake of the future cooperation, saying that it was just a job change and there was no need to take it too seriously. Seeing the end of the battle, the other servants returned to the castle one after another, and only two maids followed Duke. Lancelot wanted to stay, but once Daimo left, his hands and feet were no longer under his control.
"Um?"
The two talked as they walked, and soon they were back at the castle garden.
"That's a weird thing to say!" Lancer scratched his head and said as a matter of course: "Since you have participated in the Holy Grail War, you should obey the rules of war. Even if you have only been with your Master for a few days, you must serve him as a monarch."
"Of course, his inherent skill is 'rebellious'. He will not stay in the same place, will not support the same monarch, and is not suitable to be a monarch himself, nor can he find his own monarch. He is a wandering general."
Lancer was too tired to complain: "The person you are talking about will die tomorrow in history."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing!" Duke suddenly asked, "Do you have any information about Assassin and the identity of the Master?"
"Besides, there are many heroes in history who betrayed their masters many times but still have great reputations throughout the world." Duke immediately thought of a certain slave who did not want to reveal his name.
"How should I know that?"
Duke curled his lips in disdain: "In the final analysis, it is all about obedience to the Command Seal. Whoever has the Command Seal is the monarch."
Toosaka Rin raised her question, and Duke answered it very straightforwardly: "I have analyzed the principle of the Holy Grail, and it can be summoned without killing each other. In fact, the Servants were pulled down from the Hall of Heroes only to replenish the lack of magic power and open a passage outside the world."
Duke said very proudly: "That's because they didn't meet me in their lifetime!"
Lancer also recognized who Duke was talking about, and responded weakly: "That person is just a special case. It should be the combination of his strength and merits that makes people ignore his repeated betrayals."
Lancer's face darkened. "You bastard, it turns out that you and I have a very bad relationship. I am so unlucky to have a monarch like you."
"It's not because I'm your Master that you're unlucky, but because you're unlucky that you meet a Master like me!"
As magic power surged into his body, Lancer woke up from his coma and realized that he had a new Master again. He felt very bad.
"Lancer, people go to high places and water flows to low places. There is nothing to lose. Besides, your current Master is a mental patient. It would be a good thing for you to fire him." Duke patted his new lackey, feeling particularly happy. By gathering seven Servants, he can summon a dragon... Phew, he can summon the Holy Grail to return to his original world.
Lancer cooperated and asked, "For example? I don't remember such a hero... No, such a person can never become a hero!" The two maids also showed curious expressions. Lancer was right. It would be difficult for a person who was labeled a traitor to become a hero, not to mention betrayal many times.
Duke didn't say anything either. When Lancer meets Hassan who uses basic attack as a special move one day, he will no longer think so.
"Ah, probably!" Lancer looked depressed and didn't want to pay attention to Duke.
"Everyone will die. What's important is the time when you are alive. Look at him. He has lived a prosperous life despite repeated betrayals. He has got everything he wanted: money, power, beautiful women, and a limited edition Ferrari!"
Lancer's mood improved a lot. His dissatisfaction was towards the Holy Grail and the disgusting Command Seals, not towards Duke. In fact, he was also happy to be able to escape from Kotomine Kirei's control.
In the hall of the castle, Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou were waiting for Duke. They were awakened by the magic power that erupted in the battle, and after seeing Lancer beside Duke, they shook their heads in silence.
"Speaking of which, I really don't understand why you servants are so persistent. After a week-long Holy Grail War, everyone stopped talking to each other. Why are you always obsessed with loyalty?" At this point, Duke thought of Diarmuid in the last Holy Grail War, who was also a stubborn and loyal knight.
Duke shook his head and said very seriously, "Lancer, you have the order of cause and effect reversed."
Duke nodded. This was a free-range Lancer.
The more Lancer listened, the weirder it seemed to him. He felt as if Duke was expecting him to betray him. He couldn't help but look at Duke suspiciously. Could it be that... the new Master was also a schizophrenic?
"Hahaha, just kidding, how could I be that boring!" Duke patted Lancer's shoulder vigorously. In the face of Lancer's grinning expression, he continued: "I just want to tell you that it's just a change of Master. It's no big deal. Didn't the others accept it quickly?"
Toosaka Rin was almost numb. Even if Duke brought back two more Heroic Spirits, she would still think it was reasonable. However, what good would it be to collect all the Heroic Spirits? How could the Holy Grail be summoned without the fighting between Servants?
"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. It's just an Assassin. You already have seven servants. Are you afraid of the weakest Assassin?" Lancer didn't care. He could fight ten servants who could only steal at once.
“…”
Lancer was almost speechless. He was beaten by six servants in the middle of the night and was swung around like a hula hoop. He finally survived and got a new master. He was scolded that his bad luck was all his fault. He could only say depressedly: "So, you left me alone just to laugh at my luck?"
"Wasn't your former Master Kotomine Kirei? He was the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, so he should have the corresponding information!"
Duke concluded, "To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than a matter of magic power. As long as there is enough magic power, the Holy Grail can be awakened without fighting the Holy Grail War. By the way, the container of the Holy Grail is in my hand and can be summoned at any time."
Then why did I prepare for this for ten years? To complain? Rin scratched her hair frantically and complained to Duke: "If that's the case, why didn't you summon the Holy Grail from the beginning, or do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder and have to gather all the Servants to be satisfied?"
"No, I just had nothing to do and thought it was fun!"
Toosaka Rin: “…”
