"It really is... at least from the perspective of artistic value, this story is quite inspiring."

Gu Mo had no intention to comment on these people's outlook on life, at most acknowledging perfunctorily that their struggle had some artistic value.

Yes, artistic value... tenacity, perseverance, never admitting defeat, or simply not knowing when to give up, much like the story of Don Quixote charging at giants.

The only pity is that their organization is not Chaldea, and at this rate, I am really about to become a big boss on the level of a Demon God King. If, after another 500 years of development, they could learn well from the failures of predecessors like Gai Tia...

——Always remember to look down on the enemy strategically, but value them tactically.

——Then to call this group Don Quixotes would indeed be giving them too much credit.

"The interference war happening on the timeline is confused. This should be their first attack on me, while the one during the Heian Era should belong to later organizational attempts..."

Gu Mo seriously pondered, knowing that during the Heian Era, there was also an attempt to attack him, but it was dealt with by "Rarer" Minamoto no Yoshiie and other future warriors, never appearing within his range of perception.

"At this time, their cloning and reincarnation technology was still complete, indeed utilizing Sesha's power of the Guardian Spirit, but unexpectedly in this sortie, the team was completely wiped out, the organization suffered significant damage, and Edward Kelly's loss also allowed Sesha to escape..."

"Without the undying power granted by Sesha, the organization's cloning and reincarnation technology became incomplete, yet they still refused to give up. Moreover, without a basic foundation, they couldn't properly operate, nor attract new blood to the organization, hence couldn't abandon the clone technology..."

He tried piecing this puzzle together, little by little, based on his conjectures.

The subsequent developments could then be imagined, also corresponding to some information revealed by Minamoto no Yoshiie. Gu Mo's guess might not be entirely accurate, but it was likely hitting the main points.

The Queen's Eye organization suffered severe damage, yet couldn't abandon the clone technology, after all, they were entirely like street rats, without their own territory and rear base. Without using clone technology to compensate for losses, they would have long ceased to hold out, so they could only grit their teeth and hold their ground.

Many former organization members had long since died...

But the backup clones were still pushing forward amid a lie, still fearlessly thinking they remained their original selves, believing they could never die...

In some sense, this society was indeed quite ruthless, even towards its own members. It's quite possible they also tampered with the clone bodies, not only allowing their memory backups to always believe such a truth, but also subtly making the clones become fanatically extreme, deeply convinced of it.

It's quite simple, like hormone secretion, profoundly impacting one's behavior, emotion, even thought.

And an organization that had made significant breakthroughs in the field of life, capable of stably and successfully cloning human bodies in the 16th century, replicating memories, and accomplishing such feats.

No matter what, a camel that dies of starvation is still bigger than a horse; having the technical power to manipulate hormone secretion, brain nerves, etc., limiting clones' ways of thinking, cultivating fanatically loyal cannon fodder...

——This is entirely possible.

"Don't be so stupid in your next life... oh, wait, your souls have been shattered by me, so there won't be a next life."

Gathering his thoughts, Gu Mo scanned the blood-soaked wasteland, shrugged, and then turned to leave.

His current body felt somewhat weak, with his aura plummeting to a low point, after all, the Spirit Core had been somewhat damaged, and even if Spiritual Power re-materialized, it would definitely not instantly recover to its previous pristine state.

Of course, it's not a big issue. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He directly had the other side hurry back to continue overseeing Rice Leaf Mountain Castle to preside over the broader situation, without delay. Ultimately, these assassins had no effect whatsoever, even if he hadn't successfully counter-killed them, allowing them their success would have meant merely losing one clone.

Similar to the relationship between a Heroic Spirit and a Servant...

A Servant exiting the Holy Grail War simply means the intelligence from this phase returns to the Heroic Spirit Throne, back to the main Heroic Spirit.

......

At the same time, over at Rice Leaf Mountain Castle.

The previous sudden event had already settled down without causing major chaos.

The moment Gu Mo was unexpectedly taken away, his secondary projection appeared, calmly appeased the situation, and then leisurely left, heading to the foretold location to block Edward Kelly, who would return by suicide; everything was so orderly.

Although it did not stir up much chaos, Rice Leaf Mountain Castle still entered a state of full alert, and inevitably the news of the Owari Mission's attempt to assassinate the Sovereign also leaked out.

So, the entire city was in uproar.

Whether it was the simple beliefs of ordinary people or those who enjoyed the benefits brought by Mino's transformation during this time, none could accept such an incident. Indignation and scorn were unanimous, all unable to believe such a thing could happen.
