Although they had to deal with the Red Faction's Servants, in reality, there were not many practical changes from Darnic's previous plan. After all, the opponent's strength was there, and it was not easy to find a clever way to deal with them in a short amount of time.
And looking around, Lancer found a 'blind spot'.
"Where are the others? Darnic was killed by the Red Faction's Servant (with a serious face). Why are only a few of us here?"
"I'm the only one who knows about Darnic's arrangements. After all, it would be meaningless for others to know..."
"Boom!!"
Before Gordes could finish his words, he saw the 'Hanging Gardens' floating above the castle suddenly have a violent explosion. Although it didn't directly sink it, it was still an earth-shattering event.
"Could it be Rider and the others? Or did the Saber I summoned cause the battle to go out of control?"
Gordes couldn't help but mutter to himself with an ugly expression. He had directly used a Command Spell when he sensed Lancer killing intent before.
Although he hoped to use Yggdmillennia to revive his family, once a person died, everything was over. This sounded very realistic, but to become a qualified magus, the one thing you needed the least was naivete, and the most needed was realism. And although Gordes looked a bit strange, he was a 'true magus'. Compared to others, he cared more about his own safety.
And Lancer had not expected the other party to be so decisive in using a Command Spell. In his impression, didn't the Masters in those 'stories' only use them during the final decisive battle or when they were about to disappear?
But if what the other party said was true, then the battle situation was probably not looking good...
At this point, everyone looked at Siegfried behind Gordes.
"We have not encountered the Red Faction's Servants yet, but it's hard to say now."
As soon as Siegfried's words fell, a terrifying electric light suddenly erupted within the 'Hanging Gardens'.
"No! We can't drag this out any longer. We must hurry and support them! Saber, you go help Lancer..."
"No, let Saber go with me. We can leave the enemy Lancer to Master Li."
Before Gordes could finish his words, Lancer interrupted him, but the other party didn't care too much. After all, it didn't matter whether it was Siegfried or Li Shuwen. Since the other party was not at ease and wanted Li Shuwen to stay, then he would stay.
But then an even more incredible scene appeared.
"What?! You're going up with Saber? Are you crazy?"
Was Lancer crazy? No, on the contrary, Lancer was very rational.
Although the situation up there was unclear now, it was at least certain that none of their Servants had disappeared. But if Li Shuwen and Karna were to start fighting, the scene would probably be completely out of control, and it was even possible that the entire castle would be turned to ashes. So what seemed to be the most dangerous place was actually the safest.
But just as Lancer was about to leave with Siegfried, he suddenly stopped and walked to Fiore's side.
"Although it's just a personal suggestion, I think you should temporarily move the 'command room' underground."
Lancer sudden words made Fiore feel a bit strange. After all, this 'command room' had been built long ago, and all kinds of spells for communication and surveillance were complete. Although a backup was also prepared, it was undoubtedly much worse. If it were someone else who said it, she might have chosen to ignore it, but since Lancer specifically brought it up, she decided to confirm it again.
"Is there a problem?"
"The battle between Master and Karna will probably affect this place. For safety, it's better to move it underground."
This reason sounded a bit absurd. After all, this was not the main battlefield for the two. Could the aftershocks really destroy the castle's defenses?
But looking at Lancer serious expression, she hesitated for a long time before nodding.
"Okay."
"Fiore!"
Whether he found Lancer words too absurd or simply disliked Lancer, Gordes also spoke up to stop Fiore, but at this moment, the other party suddenly turned around with a serious expression.
"Uncle Gordes!"
Although she looked like a young lady who liked desserts and afternoon tea on a normal day, Fiore, as the heir to the Yggdmillennia family, was also absolutely not soft when she needed to be firm. But after shouting Gordes's name, her expression gradually softened.
"Uncle, although it's just a precaution, it's better to be prepared. Besides, this place might have been invaded by Assassin once before, and there might be loopholes that we don't know about, so I think moving would be safer. What do you think?"
In principle, Fiore, as the nominal successor of Darnic, had the undisputed right to inherit and command the Yggdmillennia family after Darnic's 'accidental' death. So in reality, Gordes's opposition was meaningless. At this time, faced with Fiore's explanation, he also nodded after hesitating for a while and stopped saying anything more.
Seeing Gordes's reaction, Fiore couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although she had been receiving the education that a 'successor' should receive since she was a child, in reality, everyone knew that it didn't mean much, because for the past sixty years, Yggdmillennia had changed several 'successors', but the patriarch had always remained the same. She was not mentally prepared at all. After all, before this, she had already decided that she would marry Lancer, which was the family's decision, and as a member of the family, she, who was born and raised by Yggdmillennia, could not refuse. At this time, she was entrusted with a mission in a time of crisis and was acting more on the basis of her usual education.
It was also a good thing that she was facing her uncle, otherwise her performance might have made the already chaotic situation even more out of control.
But there was no 'if' in this world. After convincing Gordes, she also turned her head and glanced at Lancer. The other party nodded and simply left with Siegfried. Only after Lancer left did she breathe a sigh of relief, as she had never expected that one day she would actually become the helm of Yggdmillennia, and at a time when the building was on the verge of collapsing.
'I hope Lancer and Saber can succeed...'
Although she knew that her prayer might not have any effect, she still couldn't help but pray, and when this brief prayer ended, the seriousness on her face returned.
"Ruler, I apologize for making you wait. Do you still plan to go to the Red Faction's fortress? If so, I will ask Caster to help you as well."
Jeanne, who had been silently following at the end of the group since entering the castle, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Fiore's words. After all, she did not have the ability to fly, so it would be for the best if she could get help from the Black Faction's Caster.
"Thank you."
