Fate: Hero of Justice Takeover-Chapter 133: [] Headshot

Berserker, Sakatsuki.

Despite being just one Servant and one living human, they managed to make Alexander the Great, who had conquered vast territories, and his soldiers turn pale and tense.

Ten minutes.

It only took ten minutes...

The invincible Companion Cavalry, which had achieved countless feats, along with the two most excellent generals under the Emperor, had already met their demise.

Under the ferocious might of these two, the morale of the army inevitably took a hit.

Waver scanned the solemn faces around him, eventually turning his gaze to his Servant, Rider.

At this moment, Iskandar's rugged face couldn't hide his sorrow.

Hephaestion, his dearest friend...

As if destined, Hephaestion had once again left him before his time.

Victory and defeat are common in war. He wouldn't blame Sakatsuki for killing Hephaestion, but even so, Sakatsuki had become the one he most wanted to eliminate.

The reason was simple: a lone Berserker wasn't terrifying, but a Berserker armed with modern weapons under Sakatsuki's support was a nightmare.

The decline of the Companion Cavalry had begun precisely when Berserker got his hands on firearms.

Thus, they needed to crush Sakatsuki with the most complete military formation...

"Rider."

A voice called from behind.

Not only Iskandar, but many of the generals also turned their heads. After all, in this army, there was only one person who didn't address Iskandar as "Emperor."

That person was Waver, the Master who had summoned Iskandar.

Under the gaze of so many accomplished generals, Waver couldn't help but shiver, but he clenched his teeth and spoke earnestly.

"Rider, I understand your pain, and I believe you can pull yourself together. There's only one thing I need to remind you..."

"...Where are Saber and Caster now?"

The words struck like a bolt of lightning.

Iskandar suddenly became alert.

"Teacher!"

"Yes, it was my oversight."

The old man, known as one of history's greatest philosophers, scientists, and educators, stepped forward, raising his staff slightly and murmuring an incantation.

A divine light curtain unfolded, aimlessly searching for a moment before finally settling on the army's flank.

However, there was no sign of Saber or Miyu in the field of view, only the shimmering heat haze distorting the light.

"Following the trail of magical energy, we've locked onto this location."

Aristotle said calmly, stroking his beard.

"Since they've managed to infiltrate our core without us noticing, they must be using some method to conceal themselves."

"Leonatus, Antigonus, take your heavy cavalry and shield bearers forward. You don't need to win, but you must hold off Sakatsuki and Berserker."

Iskandar frowned slightly, quickly issuing orders.

"Cletus, Clitus, head to the flank and search for Saber and Caster!"

Leonatus, one of the Seven Bodyguards, excelled in leading infantry and was renowned for his mastery of the "Macedonian Phalanx."

Antigonus, the one-eyed old man, a god of war, was one of the greatest commanders of the Hellenistic era.

Cletus, who had saved Alexander's life at the Granicus River, was famed for his personal bravery.

Clitus, who had participated in the Lamian War against the Greek city-states' rebellion against Macedonia, was known as 'the White-haired.'

True to their reputations, the four generals quickly accepted their orders and led their troops into action.

"By the way, Rider."

Waver spoke up again.

"Please stay, Aristotle. I have an idea, though it's not fully formed..."

As Waver, Rider, and Aristotle engaged in a low discussion, many of the generals in the army began to look at the short-haired boy with new eyes.

This kid... he's got something.

"Have we been discovered...?"

Saber murmured, watching the two generals leading their troops toward them.

Beside her, a magical girl gripped her staff tightly, almost clinging to Saber.

For those with dirty minds, go face the wall. Saber and Miyu were doing this for one reason only.

The maximum output of 'Invisible Air' could only cover this much area.

For Saber, who had lost her scabbard 'Avalon' and couldn't freely use 'Excalibur,' she had long since mastered every function of 'Invisible Air' during her long years of warfare.

For example, using it as a booster to increase her speed or that of her horse; using it as an attack, transforming it into a single devastating strike to clear her enemies, or wrapping the blade in a storm to extend its reach and destructive power.

And now, by manipulating the atmosphere to change the refraction of light, she could make her weapon—or herself—invisible.

Fortunately, Saber was in the form of a young girl, and Miyu was petite, so the two of them huddled together, just within the range of Invisible Air.

Watching the cavalry begin to gallop around the flank, swinging their weapons wildly through the air, Saber had to admit that their presence had been discovered and they were now being hunted.

'As expected of the Conqueror's army. I didn't think they'd be able to react so quickly despite the chaos Sakatsuki and the others caused.'

Saber thought, having learned what had happened through her telepathic link with Irisviel. Her saintly green eyes grew sharper as she watched Generals Cletus and Clitus.

"Although I wanted to sneak right up to Rider, it seems that's impossible now. In that case... Miss Miyu!"

"Understood!"

In the next moment, Invisible Air dissipated, transforming into a violent gust that shot backwards, kicking up dust and obscuring the surroundings. At the same time, Miyu leapt into the air, creating a series of magical barriers. Together, she and Saber stepped onto the barriers, charging forward through the air.

Swinging his large sword to disperse the dust, the black-skinned Cletus roared like thunder as he looked up at the two figures in the air.

"Infantry, throw your spears!"

With a wave of Clitus's hand, the previously motionless infantry shifted their stance, turning their spears from a forward grip to a reverse one, and hurled them in unison.

The magic-infused spears instantly shattered the barriers Miyu had created. Saber turned, her holy sword sweeping out to knock aside the spears, but a few slipped through, grazing Miyu's arm and leaving a shallow cut.

"Are you okay, Miyu?"

"I'm fine, it's just a scratch."

Miyu replied calmly, not even bothering to heal the wound as she focused all her energy on creating more barriers for them to advance on.

After the first volley of spears, Cletus stared at the unharmed Saber and the still-barrier-creating Miyu, then tossed aside his large sword and grabbed a spear from one of the infantrymen.

As magical energy surged, the muscles in his arm bulged, and he assumed a taut throwing stance.

Cletus, one of the three "Fierce Zhang Fei," was so strong that even Iskandar couldn't match him (assuming he didn't activate his Divinity).

A spear thrown by him would likely be too fast for even Saber's instincts to react to, let alone Miyu, who was fully focused on creating their path.

However, just as he was about to throw the spear, a distant thunderous roar rolled in.

A 12.7mm bullet pierced Cletus's head in an instant... no, it was more accurate to say it blew his head apart.

Thus, the brave Cletus followed in Hephastion's footsteps, his headless body collapsing to the ground and dissipating into spirit particles.

In the distance, Sakatsuki, lying prone on the ground, confirmed Cletus's death before standing up from behind his M82A1 sniper rifle and sneering.

"You dare touch my precious little sister... you've got a death wish."

He raised his eyes, looking at the grim-faced Leonatus and Antigonus, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Second Battalion Commander, bring up my Italian cannon!"

"Roar!"

At the same time, Saber and Miyu broke through to the heart of the army. With a fierce cry, the golden-haired, green-eyed King of Knights leapt down, her holy sword aimed at Iskandar's burly form as she brought it down in a slash.

"Take this, Conqueror!"
