“It’s a very beautiful handwriting.”
Afterwards, I received such praise from Yuzhong Jin.
"what is that?"
Seeing this, Weber asked in confusion.
"As you can see, let's stop fighting. No, I plan to borrow your Rider's Noble Phantasm. If you accept it, I will form an alliance with you before the last two Masters are left in the Holy Grail War. Of course, with the three Servants in my hands, it is obviously unfair to fight three against one. At that time, I will destroy two of my own Servants and fight you fairly. This is the contract."
Yuzhuanjin put forward conditions.
"Lancer, who was able to defeat the teacher easily, now makes such a request. It seems that you have a transcendent servant as your backing."
Weber was not an idiot, so he would not agree. Although there was an 80% chance that he could not defeat the other party, it was daytime now. Even if the woman in front of him was capable, if she broke the rules and declared a direct war on the other teams in broad daylight, the people of the Templar Church would not sit idly by.
Although he felt guilty, his momentum was not weak.
"Hmm~ That's true. How about this? I will choose the weakest Servant to duel with you. How about that?"
Yuzhongjin then added something to the contract.
Anyway, she doesn't care about the final outcome of the Holy Grail War. As long as the Holy Grail is sealed halfway, nothing else matters.
"Gulu~"
Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Waver became a little flustered. He felt that there was a conspiracy, but he couldn't find any flaws. The other party had his teacher's Lancer Diarmait. Even if the other servants were strong, he had Lancer to back him up.
He believed that Rider would have no problem dealing with Lancer.
"it is good……"
Weber was about to accept it. On the surface, such a contract would be harmless. If it still failed, he would just consider himself unlucky!
But Iskandar stopped him.
“…Rider, have you discovered the problem?”
Weber immediately looked up and asked.
"Do not."
Iskandar simply took out the controller and threw it to Yuzhongjin, then turned on the game screen and said, "How about playing a game before we discuss anything?"
"Huh? Rider! What are you doing?!"
Weber obviously didn't understand the situation.
"Game? Oh~ That's the grand strategy, right?"
Yu Zhuanjin had heard a little about this and had noticed that the game disc was selling well while he was shopping a few days ago.
"You know what? That's awesome! I'm telling you, this game is just plain fun."
Iskandar gave up half of his seat for Yuzhongjin.
"Well, it's your first time, so let's give it a try."
Yu Zhuanjin is not afraid of the challenge of the game. Besides, Iskandar has only appeared in the world for a few days. At most, he is a veteran who is only slightly familiar with the rules.
"Which place do you choose?"
Iskandar immediately decided on his camp.
"Of course it's Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization has a 5% construction speed bonus. As long as we build the city wall as soon as possible, and then farm and mine in the city to accumulate resources, we can safely get through the early stage. If the enemy attacks, the special troop Zhuge Crossbow, plus the 3% defense attribute blessing, will definitely make them unable to return."
Yuzhuanjin summarized it and then noticed that Iskandar chose the Vikings.
According to the settings in the game, although the Vikings' territory was peaceful in the early stage, the resources were very scarce. Once the early stage was passed, the only way out was war.
In terms of combat, the Vikings' melee attributes are much higher than those of other factions.
Continuously expand territory and overall combat power by fighting to support war.
"Ahhh, here we go again, game maniac."
Waver was bored holding the chocolate, but he saw Matou Sakura staring at him, so he asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
"..."
Matou Sakura did not reply.
"I still have orange juice or potato chips here."
Waver brought some snacks for Sakura Matou. It would be a real headache if Waver made a child cry for no reason.
In order to prevent such inexplicable things from happening, Waver took care of Sakura Matou for some unknown reason.
In this game, the first twenty minutes were the initial stage, and the distance between the two sides' territories was even greater, until Iskandar built an army of 10,000 from the barracks and immediately launched an expedition.
"It's exactly the same style as when you were alive."
Yuzhuanjin remained motionless, the Chinese civilization was still steadily developing resources in the city, and a large number of buildings were built until a long line of defense was stretched out in the distance.
Great Wall……
As the expedition progressed, the number of troops under Iskandar increased instead of decreased, and their equipment and overall combat power began to show a step-by-step growth.
"In my lifetime, I have always been on this journey to reach the Infinite Ocean, and my subordinates have always, always followed me."
Iskandar stared at the game screen. The army continued to advance westward, through Greece, Persia, and then Egypt, and finally reached the Indus River Basin.
This was the farthest place he had ever reached in his lifetime.
However, that sea has not yet been met.
It is so close, yet so far away.
"There is no doubt that your great achievements are already among the best for mankind. That huge territory is unprecedented in history. It has only been more than ten years, but it has only appeared for more than ten years."
Yuzhong Jin watched in the game that Iskandar's territory was constantly expanding towards the territory she chose.
"Why do you keep hiding in that narrow spot? You already have the power to conquer."
Iskandar asked.
"Rider, what do you think we are now? The kings who lead them? Or the gods who protect them?"
Yuzhongjin asked back.
"Of course it's the king. Because I'm the king, my decisions will never be denied. The king's every word and action is absolute."
Iskandar said as a matter of course.
"That's really overbearing."
Yu Zhuanjin held the handle in his hand without moving, and before he knew it, the territory began to be self-disciplined, to build, to develop and to gain wealth.
"A king must be domineering!"
Iskandar answered.
"But have you really noticed? Your army is exhausted despite its enthusiasm, your people are hungry despite their vanity, and your territory is torn apart despite its peace."
Yuzhong Jin noticed that under Iskandar's manipulation, the development of the places conquered by the other side was distorted, showing a pathological supply, and the national strength began to decline. The balance could only be maintained by fighting. If the fighting did not continue, the country would collapse.
"I'm doing it, trying my best to do it, but what have you done?"
Iskandar looked at Yuzhongjin's motionless figure.
"I am just watching, and it is enough to give enlightenment only when necessary."
When Iskandar led his army closer, Yuzhongjin gave the order.
The boundless Great Wall is guarded by millions of soldiers.
"The people are happy because of their wealth, the army fights because of their blood relatives, and the territory prospers because of them. I just watch and stare at them from the outside."
Yu Zhuanjin stared at the game interface for more than 40 minutes, preparing for this close battle.
Iskandar controlled his character to lead an army of 100,000, and on the screen there were only countless blue dots flashing continuously.
The red soldiers of Yuzhuanjin were stationed in the middle of the Great Wall, using it as a position to counterattack from a high position, with arrows raining down from the sky.
From all aspects, Iskandar's army is much stronger. Yuzhuanjin has only one million soldiers and this is the result of all being withdrawn.
Iskandar turned around and pulled out millions of troops from the rear, trying to use this huge force to break down the Great Wall.
In desperation, Yu Zhuanjin could only suppress all his troops. The war situation seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and there was no need for both sides to continue controlling after issuing their own orders. They only had to wait for the final result.
Nearly one million troops were killed on this battlefield, and a gap appeared in the Great Wall built by Chinese civilization, which was then gradually torn apart.
“I’m going to win.”
Once the Great Wall was breached, the plains behind would be helpless against Iskandar's unrivaled army.
"No, I've already won."
Yuzhongjin shifted his gaze slightly and looked towards the rear positions of Iskandar where a rebellion had broken out due to the withdrawal of troops.
It was inevitable that such a huge empire began to fall apart. Smallness often means stability, while largeness makes it easy to collapse.
Iskandar's rear supplies obviously could not support such a large-scale operation, but Yuzhong Jin was able to do it with ease.
"When have you ever listened to others' advice? When have you ever looked back at the places you have conquered? You conquered their material but not their spirit."
Yu Zhongjin watched the words "Red Team Wins" pop up on the game screen but didn't react at all. He just continued, "You are always moving forward, wanting to reach the end and complete everything. Because of this, there is only an endless desert in front of you. Why not look back? The boundless ocean may be behind you, but you have never noticed it."
……
"Victory can be expressed in countless ways. Richness and stability are more refined than plunder and conquest. Your empire is magnificent, but its final outcome was doomed from the beginning. You think that all this is because of your death, but some things were doomed long before your death, but you just didn't wait for the result."
Putting down the handle, Yuzhongjin asked: "King of Conquerors, you have indeed conquered many things, but have you ever conquered one thing?"
"What is it?"
Iskandar looked at Yuzhongjin.
"You yourself, that domineering ambition."
Yuzhongjin said with a faint smile.
"A king cannot be conquered."
Iskandar was straightforward.
"But a king should conquer everything, right? The most difficult to conquer are the most worth conquering. If the wild horse in your heart runs to the cliff and falls into the abyss without self-control, that is not heroic, but just a simple fool."
Yu Zhuanjin looked back at the game interface and continued, "In the past, there was also a king who conquered the six kingdoms. With his strong national strength, it would not be a problem for him to expand abroad. However, he stayed where he was and chose a path that was completely opposite to yours. This was the founder of one of the most powerful nations of the time, the eternal foundation of Shenzhou."
"If I had continued my expedition eastward, would I have met him again?"
Iskandar realized who the king the other party was describing was.
"You two are nearly a hundred years apart. What a pity. Fate has prevented you from meeting each other. If the first great emperor of the West and the first emperor of the East were born in the same era..."
Yuzhongjin couldn't even imagine that scene, so he continued, "But that's also the unique beauty of the Holy Grail War, isn't it?"
“…Is he here?”
Iskandar couldn't help but wonder.
"You wish he was here?"
Yuzhongjin asked in return.
"Of course not. The only two Servants left are Caster and Berserker. I don't want to confront either of them like this."
Iskandar shook his head deeply.
"There's always a chance."
Standing up, Yu Zhuanjin felt that the topic was over.
"Let me ask you one more question. What do you think a king should be like? Domineering, benevolent, or cruel?"
Iskandar raised his head and stared at Yuzhongjin.
"I am not a king, so I cannot discuss the way of kingship with you. Besides, you should also know that Japan has been a kingless country with theocracy since ancient times, and the ruler is also a descendant of the god, that's all."
Yuzhuanjin did not say much to Iskandar.
"It's really strange."
Iskandar thought for a long time, then nodded and said, "Okay, we will accept your contract."
"You played the game for over an hour before you got the result? It's almost noon now!"
Webber shouted, pointing at the clock on the wall.
