-813- On the battlefield

Before this, Rozen had already speculated and knew that the situation in this singularity was definitely not good.

Singularity were getting more twisted and terrifying one after another.

Repairing them, laying the foundation for humanity, was not an easy task, especially in the case of the sixth and seventh singularity, which had yet to be fully observed.

Now, as the fifth singularity, the last one observed by Chaldea, the situation inside couldn't be any better.

The first singularity, despite the rampage of the Army of Wyverns, had the French army led by Marshal Gilles successfully resisting.

The second singularity, even with the appearance of a second kingdom threatening this world-spanning great empire in Rome, the Roman side had been continuously in a struggle against them.

The third singularity, the Chaotic Sea, was already a bit troublesome. The entire sea was in chaos, making the continent almost invisible. Yet, piracy continued, and the maritime industry hadn't come to a halt.

The fourth singularity, London in England, had turned into a terrifying dead zone. Mists of magic wreaked havoc, and ordinary people staying within it faced almost certain death, forced to stay home, afraid to venture outside.

From this, it's evident that the distortions and situations within the singularity have been getting worse, one scarier than the other.

Given this trend, Rozen had already guessed that the fifth singularity wouldn't be any better, but he never expected the situation to be this dire.

"Both countries dominating the continent were established by Servants."

"The legions vying for control of the continent were also created by Servants, with no trace of humanity."

"The indigenous people have already perished."

"This situation is simply disastrous."

In such a state, even Rozen starts to worry about how terrifyingly distorted this singularity has become.

Not just Rozen, but everyone in Chaldea is troubled by these thoughts.

"The entire era has been infiltrated by external elements. Can we really repair it?" Olga Marie expresses extreme frustration.

"With this level of distortion, even recovering the Holy Grail might not successfully correct it, right?" Roman also seems burdened with thoughts.

"The worst-case scenario is having to expel both these countries, restoring the natural dominance of the era. Only then can we lay the foundation for humanity after recovering the Holy Grail. Otherwise, if these two countries solidify their presence in this era, causing complete chaos, this singularity might separate from human history, forming an independent space, a world," Da Vinci solemnly explains.

And one can easily understand that if there's such a massive loophole in the Human Order, human history would become chaotic, if not outright destroyed. This would be a major issue for Chaldea, which has always guarded the order and peace of humanity.

In this situation, Rozen suddenly posed a question to the two Lancers before him.

"I want to ask a question. Do you know who currently possesses the Holy Grail?"

"Sen-Senpai?" This unexpected inquiry surprised Mash.

"The Holy Grail..." The golden Lancer raised an eyebrow.

The black Lancer, however, frowned.

The atmosphere became tense.

But this was a necessary question.

"Don't tell me you don't know about the Holy Grail?" Rozen fearlessly questioned the two heroes. "Since you are aware of Chaldea's existence, know about my existence, and are well-informed about the singularity spanning across different eras, it's impossible not to know that the Holy Grail is our objective."

That's the truth. If they know so much about Chaldea and the singularity, it's inconceivable that they wouldn't be aware of the source of everything in this era—the Holy Grail.

Rozen wanted to know...

"Where is the Holy Grail in this singularity?"

"Is it in your Northern nation?"

"Or is it in your opposing Southern nation?"

Rozen needed to know this to identify who his true enemy was.

Because the Holy Grails causing the appearance of the seven singularity and the behind-the-scenes manipulator orchestrating the incineration of human history created these items.

These Grails were sent to each era and were handed over by the mastermind, to those who assisted in destroying their respective eras.

For instance, the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City was bestowed upon Artoria Pendragon by Lev.

In France, the Holy Grail of Jeanne d'Arc was given by Caster Gilles de Rais, who himself obtained it from Lev.

The situation varied in other singularity, but those who obtained the Holy Grail were undoubtedly the creators of that singularity.

These individuals, manipulated by the unseen hand incinerating human history, used the Holy Grail to distort their respective eras into singularities.

In this era, knowing who possesses the Holy Grail would likely reveal the final operator of this singularity, someone manipulated by the unseen hand to disturb the era.

In light of this, both Lancers fell silent.

Then...

"I'll tell you, young man," said the golden Lancer, seemingly regretful yet resigned, as he spoke.

"The Holy Grail of this Singular Point is in the hands of our Queen."

In other words...

"The King and Queen we currently serve are the ultimate rulers of this land."

The golden Lancer declared as such.

The surrounding atmosphere instantly shifted from tense to strained.

"I see," Rozen spoke without any surprise.

"Apologies, but we probably won't be joining you to meet your King and Queen," he continued, or rather declared, "Even if we were to meet, it would be on the battlefield."

"Is that so?" The golden Lancer nodded without much surprise.

"Well, that's unfortunate," the black Lancer seemed to realize something.

The ancient warriors around them emitted a vast killing intent simultaneously.

Then...

"Since you're not willing to come with us, we'll have to resort to some force," said the golden Lancer with a cheerful expression, making the current situation clear.

In simple terms...

"Sorry, but please come with us."

The black Lancer spoke calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient warriors around them immediately wielded their long spears and charged aggressively.
