So we were tricked
Kadoc then looked at Ritsuka. So your telling me Hou Yi, the archer of this war, the guy that had become our double agent, who said he will be working with us, was just lying, so we were tricked, and he has probably given who knows what information to his master.
Le loi then spoke. Let's not jump into conclusions, maybe he is was forced to answer by a command spell
Kadoc nodded, considering Le Loi's perspective. "You're right. There's a chance he was compelled by a command spell. But we should prepare for the worst and verify what information he might have divulged."
Ritsuka agreed, his expression serious. "Regardless of his motivations, the fact remains that the true enemy might be using Hou Yi to further their own plans. We need to act with caution."
**Strategizing Their Next Move**
The group huddled together to formulate a strategy. With the possibility of Hou Yi being a double agent and the revelation of a powerful enemy manipulating events from behind the scenes, they had to reassess their approach.
1. **Gathering Intel:** Kadoc and Anastasia were assigned to gather more information on Hou Yi's recent activities and any possible leaks. They would investigate whether Hou Yi had any known associates or if there were other agents who might have been compromised.
2. **Alternative Routes:** Ereskigal, Arthur, and Le Loi would explore alternate routes into the enemy's hideout, using the cave systems and any other possible entry points. Their aim was to find a less guarded path to minimize direct confrontation.
3. **Counter-Intelligence Measures:** Ritsuka, Mash, and Morgan would focus on setting up counter-intelligence measures to intercept any further information being transmitted by the enemy. They would enhance their magical wards and surveillance around their own camp to detect any spies or leaks.
**Preparing for Confrontation**
Ritsuka addressed the group with a determined tone. "We need to be ready for anything. If Hou Yi has been feeding information to the enemy, it's likely they'll be prepared for us. We need to stay ahead of them."
Morgan, still processing the gravity of the situation, added, "We should also consider the possibility that the enemy might try to turn other Servants against us. We need to be vigilant and build alliances where we can."
Mash nodded in agreement. "And we should be prepared for a direct confrontation if necessary. The enemy will likely make a move soon."
Le loi then looked at Karna. Hey Karna what is today's number of the Sun raise holy grail war.
Karna thought for a bit. With our summoning and how long this war is going on it is the 17th day.
Le Loi relsihe as he just looked at him. Oh fuck we only have 2 days left.
Ritsuka just looked at him. What do you mean.
Le Loi looked at him. After the Genghis Khan dead, all the master has taken a bow, to start the official holy grail was in day 20th of the holy grail war, after thete army was fully made and everything was ready for this war, that why we extra servant were summoned.
Kadoc just looked at him. You have to be shitting me, we don't even know who, Assassin, Caster, Saber, and berserk are, it took us four days to Learn Hou Yi was Archer, Jalter was Lancer wne Hercules was Rider
Le Loi nodded grimly. "Yes, and that's why we need to act fast. The remaining Servants are still unknown to us, and the deadline for the Holy Grail War is fast approaching."
**Urgency in the War Effort**
Ritsuka, realizing the gravity of the situation, addressed the group. "We need to identify the remaining Servants immediately. If we're to have any chance of success, we must find out who they are and what their capabilities are before the official start of the war."
**Breaking Down the Task**
1. **Surveillance and Reconnaissance:**
- **Morgan and Mash:** They would focus on gathering intelligence on potential sightings of the unknown Servants. Using their combined abilities, they would search for any unusual magical signatures or disturbances that could indicate the presence of a new Servant.
- **Kadoc and Anastasia:** They would investigate any recent events or conflicts that might reveal the identity of the remaining Servants. This included tracking any new magical disturbances or uncovering hidden alliances.
2. **Alliance Building:**
- **Ritsuka and Ereskigal:** They would attempt to strengthen alliances with any Servants or factions who might be willing to share information or provide assistance. Ritsuka's charm and diplomacy would be crucial in persuading potential allies to divulge useful information.
- **Arthur and Le Loi:** They would reach out to other potential factions or individuals who might be neutral or on the fence, trying to secure their support or at least gather intel on their affiliations.
3. **Defense and Preparedness:**
- **Karna:** He would fortify their current defenses and prepare for potential attacks. Ensuring that their base of operations was secure and ready for any imminent confrontations was crucial.
- **Ritsuka and the Team:** They would review their current strategies and make adjustments based on any new information that emerged. This included preparing contingency plans for different scenarios.
**Strategic Discussions**
As they prepared to split up, Ritsuka gathered everyone for a final briefing. "We're on a tight schedule, and every moment counts. Our goal is to uncover the identities of the remaining Servants and prepare ourselves for the upcoming confrontation. Stay alert and be ready for anything."
Ritsuka looked at the group. We have two-day, so let's make the most of let's find the other extra servent.
With that everyone split up, as Ritsuka grabbed Ereskigal in bridal carry and brings our his vampire wings and started to fly to the Celtic section, as they both landed, Ereskigal just blushes looking at Ritsuka, he was looking like a prince when he carried, even do he was not fully her, she was still one of his girlfriend.
Ritsuka looked around a bit. Le Loi said Extra Rider was in this town
Ereskigal just then looked at him. Yeah but I wish Atlest he told who the servant really war.
Ritsuka just srugged. Who know who the extra rider is, who ever they are they must good at hidding.
As they walked through the town, a small girl with fox ears and a tail, wearing a yellow kimono and carrying a sword, passed by them.
Ritsuka squinted. "Isn't that a younger Tamamo?"
Ereskigal nodded. "Looks like it. We've found our Extra Rider."
Ritsuka approached the girl. "Excuse me, are you Tamamo Aria?"
The girl looked up with wide eyes. "Yes, that's me. I'm the Extra Rider in this war. How did you find me?"
"We've been searching for the remaining Servants," Ritsuka said. "Do you have any information about your role?"
Tamamo Aria tilted her head. "I'm here to assist and observe. I don't have a Master, but I'm under specific instructions to stay out of the spotlight and avoid unnecessary conflict."
Ritsuka nodded. "Thanks for the info. We'll respect your approach and keep it in mind."
Tamamo Aria smiled and waved them off as they returned to their base. Ritsuka briefed the team about the discovery and the remaining tasks. They now had a clearer understanding of the Extra Rider's role and prepared for the final stages of the Holy Grail War.
Tamamo Aria looked at them apologetically. "I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I'm not a fighter; I'm here for a different reason. I'd prefer to be a wife rather than a combatant."
Ereskigal glared at Ritsuka. "Don't even think about it."
Ritsuka quickly responded, "No way. I'm not interested. I'm not a pedo."
Tamamo Aria nodded, relieved. "Thank you for understanding. I'll continue to stay out of the way and focus on my own role."
Ereskigal then looked at Ritsuka. I wonder if the other has a easy time like us.
Ritsuka just looked at her. You mean hoe we just found the extra Rider, we already know who the extra Assassin is, so I am wondering what there luck will be
Ereskigal nodded. "Yes, exactly. Finding the extra Rider was surprisingly easy. I wonder how the others are faring with their search."
Ritsuka shrugged. "We already know who the extra Assassin is, so it might be a bit easier for them. Let's hope the rest of the team has as much luck as we did."
Kadoc and Anastasia continued their search through the bustling streets of the Japanese section, scanning the area for any signs of the Extra Berserker.
Kadoc glanced at Anastasia. "Did you notice that the Berserker we keep encountering, especially in Chaldea, can hold a conversation?"
Anastasia nodded. "Yes, it's unusual. Most Berserkers are driven solely by their rage and lack coherent speech. It makes me wonder if this Berserker is different from the others."
As they wandered through the vibrant market streets and traditional buildings, they kept their eyes peeled for any unusual signs or disturbances. They didn't have to wait long. A commotion nearby drew their attention. Kadoc and Anastasia approached cautiously.
In the center of the disturbance was a towering figure, clad in tattered, ancient armor and wielding a massive axe. Despite the Berserker's intimidating appearance and the chaotic energy around him, he was engaged in a surprisingly coherent conversation with a local vendor.
Kadoc observed, "That's definitely our Berserker. He seems to have more control and intellect than usual."
Anastasia agreed, "Yes, and it seems like he's making demands, not just attacking indiscriminately. We need to be careful."
As they approached, the Berserker turned his attention to them. He had an intense gaze, but his demeanor was surprisingly calm.
Kadoc stepped forward, "We've been looking for you. We're here to discuss joining our side."
The Berserker's eyes narrowed slightly as he assessed them. "I am not easily swayed. What makes you think I should align with you?"
Anastasia, taking the lead, responded, "We can offer you a place where you won't be driven solely by rage. We respect your strength and intellect, and you'll have a chance to fight for a cause that values you."
The Berserker seemed to consider their offer. After a moment of silence, he grunted, "I will listen to what you have to offer. But be warned, I am not easily impressed."
Kadoc and Anastasia exchanged relieved glances, knowing that they had at least made a start in convincing the Extra Berserker to join their ranks.
Anastasia looked at the Berserker before she started the mental conversation with Kadoc. I don't think this is our Berserk, he is probably just from this lost belt, I could probably be wrong.
Kadoc spoke back in his mind. If he is not then what side was he think of.
Anastasia focused on the Berserker, still mentally conversing with Kadoc. "If he's not the Extra Berserker we're looking for, then we need to understand which side he's aligned with."
Kadoc responded in his mind, "We should be cautious. If he's from this Lostbelt, he might be a potential ally or a threat depending on his goals. We need to gather more information before we make any decisions."
Anastasia nodded subtly, her gaze never leaving the Berserker. "Agreed. Let's engage him in conversation and see if we can discern his intentions. We need to ensure he's not working against us or aligned with the enemy."
Kadoc, sensing the importance of their approach, prepared himself to ask the right questions. "I'll lead the conversation, and you can back me up. Let's try to determine his affiliations and see if we can gauge his true intentions."
Kadoc looked at the extra Beseker. So I have question our side do you know what it is.
The fake berserk spoke to them. Your part of group people going to each of the section and figting the 7 star right.
Anastasia spoke in Kadoc find. 7 star's, he is definitely talking about the 7 classes in this grail war
Anastasia focused on the Berserker, still mentally conversing with Kadoc. "If he's not the Extra Berserker we're looking for, then we need to understand which side he's aligned with."
Kadoc responded in his mind, "We should be cautious. If he's from this Lostbelt, he might be a potential ally or a threat depending on his goals. We need to gather more information before we make any decisions."
Anastasia nodded subtly, her gaze never leaving the Berserker. "Agreed. Let's engage him in conversation and see if we can discern his intentions. We need to ensure he's not working against us or aligned with the enemy."
Kadoc, sensing the importance of their approach, prepared himself to ask the right questions. "I'll lead the conversation, and you can back me up. Let's try to determine his affiliations and see if we can gauge his true intentions."
