The Killing Fields

If we continue to proceed at this pace, we can expect all armies to clash in the wilderness ahead.

...It's going to be quite a large-scale war.

Commander Rama! We've confirmed the Celtic army at a point 20 klicks ahead.

Leading them is a brown-skinned male Servant holding a giant bow.

...Have you told Karna yet?

Yes sir, General Karna has already been informed.

Very well.

Tell all troops to not engage with that man, even if we enter battle.

Yes, sir!

...It's Arjuna, isn't it.

Most likely. Good grief, this is like a scene from a nightmare.

Arjuna... The legendary hero. The Mahabharata is practically all about him.

He grasps victory in every battlefield. Even Karna once suffered a crushing defeat.

Is there any way we can win this?

？！

...Hm, interesting.

You declare it to be so, Master, but you probably have absolutely no basis behind it.

Yet somehow, I feel as if we can win.

Me, too. Somehow, having your guarantee makes my hair stand on end!

Hahaha. Brilliant. Like the dawn of a new year!

Heh. A good Master and good Servants. It's no wonder we've made it this far.

Thanks to that, I have no doubts either. I merely wield my sword as your Servant!

...They're coming!

There you are, Karna.

You all go fight the Servants. I havebusiness with that Lancer.

Yes.

Enemy forces, including wyverns, should be handled as discussed during our march!

They're strong, but that's all they are! There's no need for fear!

...

All of you have a duty to protect this land! And I don't mean because you are the owners!

Since you've taken it, it means you're responsible for it until the end!

Thousands and thousands of lives are depending on each of you.

This war cannot be decided by heroes alone! This war has no meaning unless it's won by each and every single one of you!

Go make victory your own! Now, charge!

Master, Karna's unit has broken through. The right and left wing units are headed this way!

？！

Yes! Mash Kyrielight Here I go!

Look out! Wyverns! Fire the Anti-Air Electromagnetic Net Launcher!

Commander, it's not just an Electromagnetic Net Launcher, but an Edisonian Direct Current Electromagnetic Net Launcher!

He's picky about that kinda stuff!? Servants, take down the ones who slip through the net!

Copy that! Master, your orders please!

The soldiers keep coming, don't they?

Give me every bandage we have!

YAAHHH!

Out of my way!

I'm sorry, please defend this place until I'm done with treatment!

？！

I appreciate it!

Treatment is mostly complete. I've sent those unfit for battle toward the back.

Doctor, is Karna safe?

Seeing as Arjuna isn't here, I imagine they are in combat

...Amazing.

Huh?

It's the very reenactment of mythology! Nothing less from a top Servant. Off the charts in every way!

So you've come, Karna.

No matter when or what era. Only I can ever be your opponent.

Each time I am summoned to a Holy Grail War as a Servant, it seems I always end up searching for you.

While attempting to be a proper hero... I would seek you, and be disappointed.

...Never again will we have an opportunity such as this.

...

The moment you stood before me, all my other priorities evaporated.

So, Karna. Shall we begin where we left off?

...We shall, Arjuna.

Both you and I seem to be held captive by a chronic disease that can never be cured.

...However.

Yes.

That is our very delight.

This world has no gods, no curses, not even destiny.

Precisely because there aren't, I made facing you my only desire upon the Holy Grail.

...And now, that wish has come true. I have no interest in saving this world.

If it is to perish, it shall perish. Yet, you attempt to save itthis world.

Of course. As long as people wishing to live proper lives exist, I will continue to protect them.

I was given this power for that purpose. Know that as long as my father and my life remain, the sun remains immortal.

That is why I am for destruction. If you stand with the good, I shall stand with the evil.

That is equality. This timesurely this time, I must put an end to your very existence as my equal!

...Now then. Arjuna. Do you know the saying "Curses, like chickens, come home to roost"?

?

No, it's nothing. There was once someone who taught me that. Watching you just reminded me of him.

Like it or not, we've known each other the longest. On account of that, promise me one thing.

If you defeat me, fulfill your original duty as a Heroic Spirit. Save the world with your "Agni Gandiva."

...I hate to admit it, but you're far better at that sort of thing.

...Very well. But once it's decided, don't make that your reason for defeat.

Never. I would never fight for defeat.

Upon my spear, upon my armor, I swear it.

I swear upon my father and motherthat victory will be mine.

I also swear victory upon my parentsand my brothers.

After tens of thousands of years, I've finally obtained this chance!

Not even evil spirits out there can interfere with me!

Here I go!

Whoa, that queen... Don't tell me she even called a giant dragon to attack us!

But if we defeat it, it's just one more push before their front line crumbles! Let's do this!
