The command Siegfried received from his Master was to 'protect Fiore at all costs'. This was why he chose to counterattack and shoot down the attack even though he knew that the other party's attack could not touch Fiore at all. At this time, facing the woman who had murderous intent towards the person he needed to protect, he unhesitatingly chose to draw his sword.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became stagnant.
"Saber~ calm down~ My Master is just a little angry, she's not..."
Although his Master was inhumane, Astolfo would not do anything unrighteous. Perhaps because of his personality and that strange DEBUFF, he would do some strange things, but this was only limited to situations that did not violate his principles. As a knight of Charlemagne, no matter how much he disliked his Master, he would inevitably protect the other party. This had nothing to do with his personal preferences, this was just the most basic code of conduct for a knight.
It could be said that all qualified knights are 'idiots', but it is precisely because they are 'idiots' that they are even more admirable.
However, at this time, some people simply could not understand his painstaking efforts.
"Rider!! You're still protecting someone else!! By the power of the Command Spell! Rider! Take down Saber!!"
If Astolfo had been protecting a man, it would have been better, but facing Fiore, she was even more unable to suppress her anger, and she even forgot to measure the strength ratio between Astolfo and Siegfried.
"Master?!!"
Astolfo had no idea that his Master would use a Command Spell at this time, but because his 'Magic Resistance' level was not high enough, although his heart was extremely resistant, he still summoned his Noble Phantasm 'Trap of Argalia' under the manipulation of the Command Spell.
"Ma...st...er..."
Astolfo called out to the other party with difficulty, trying to salvage the situation at the end. After all, his Master was not clear, but he was very clear. When he fought against the red side's Ruler in the end, Siegfried alone endured that terrifying attack for a long time. One must know that that was an attack launched with the magical energy extracted from the core of an EX Anti-World Noble Phantasm.
Perhaps if he was given enough space, he might be able to give the other party some trouble, but in this narrow space, he would be completely crushed. Once he was defeated, the fate of his Master was self-evident.
However, his last effort still did not have any effect. At this time, the other party's eyes were only filled with raging anger and undisguised madness.
It seemed that she was already prepared to escape.
But unfortunately, even if he was forced to attack by the Command Spell, Astolfo was still too inferior to Siegfried in both skill and strength. He was severely suppressed after only a few rounds of fighting.
As for Siegfried, he did not use his full strength either. After all, Astolfo was a comrade who had defeated the red side's Servant with him before. At this time, even if the other party was being manipulated to attack him, it was impossible for him to kill him.
But no one expected Celenike to use the Command Spell again at this time.
"By the power of the Command Spell! Rider! Attack Fiore!!"
In Celenike's loud laughter, Astolfo actually took a hard slash from Siegfried's scabbard and then bypassed him and thrust towards Fiore behind him.
Fiore, who had been at a loss because of Celenike's sudden and inexplicable outburst from the beginning, had no idea that this situation would occur. At this time, she only had one choice in the face of Astolfo's attack.
"Chiron!!"
She used a Command Spell without hesitation, and Chiron's figure immediately appeared in the not-so-spacious hallway, but even so, it was already too late.
But just when everyone thought that Fiore would probably not be able to escape this time ——————————
"Shield of the Earth!!"
Along with Lancer slightly weak voice, a shield made of pure earth-attribute magical energy condensed in front of Fiore. After that, Chiron unhesitatingly shot down the spear in Astolfo's hand and then held his hands and pressed him to the ground, while Siegfried punched Celenike hard in the abdomen.
Without a doubt, Celenike, who had a face full of madness, immediately fainted.
"Mr. Lancer."
Fiore, who had escaped a disaster, was about to thank Lancer, but she was stunned there, because Lancer 'image' at this time was a little strange ———————— Lancer, who was more than a head taller than Jeanne, was actually being carried in a princess carry by Jeanne.
"Cough cough~"
Lancer naturally also knew his current image, so he simply coughed twice to try to relieve the awkwardness, but it seemed that Jeanne couldn't quite understand why he was coughing, and instead looked at Lancer with a serious face.
"Lancer, are you okay?"
He was okay, but he felt like he was going to die from embarrassment!
"Just now, Jeanne said that someone used a Command Spell, so she decided to come over and take a look. Because she was worried about me, she said she wanted to bring me with her..."
At this point, Lancer also let out a sigh of relief. It was also a good thing that the other party brought him with her to protect him, otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do. After all, at that distance just now, only martial arts masters with a BUG 'Territory' like his Master or similar abilities would have a chance to defend against it, and he had just cleverly activated the 'Shield of the Earth' in advance, it was just that what was originally prepared to protect himself was now used to save someone.
"Right, Jeanne, can you put me down first?"
"Ah~ sorry, I forgot just now."
After his feet landed on the ground, Lancer couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the other party was holding him like that to protect him, it was too awkward to be held like that by a girl who was smaller than him. Before, because of the emergency, it was not good to object or be afraid of wasting time, but now there was no need for that.
But then he frowned and looked at Astolfo who was pressed to the ground and Celenike who had already fainted, and he also felt a little helpless.
He had no idea how to complete the 'Revival of Yggdmillennia' side quest in the first place, and now this kind of thing had happened. He even felt that this time's quest would probably not be so simple to complete.
"Saber, sorry to trouble you, but please take Celenike to my uncle first..."
Without a doubt, it was not just Lancer who had a headache, in fact, Fiore had an even bigger headache. After all, Lancer would not have any losses even if he didn't complete this quest, but for Fiore, she not only lost one of the most excellent magi in the family, but the other party's reaction also represented one thing —————— Fiore probably couldn't control this huge family.
