Mash

Let me reiterate! We need to retreat immediately! There's nothing we can gain from this battle!

Iskandar

Wahahaha! You may be right, Shield Maiden, but our escape route is now closed off! We just need to bite the bullet.

Dr. Roman

...Unfortunately, he's right, Mash. Now that you've started the battle, you'll need to fight to get through.

Your choice

This is all because Iskandar just had to meddle...

We could've escaped if you kept quiet...

Dr. Roman

?!

Iskandar

Come now, don't say that!

The winds that blow in this land reminded me of Persia. It brought back the days of my passionate young blood!

And just when I felt like wreaking havoc here again, this lot showed up in need of a real thrashing!

Mash

What a meatheaded thought process... Senpai, be careful you don't get carried away, too!

Your choice

Mash, don't get distracted.

Iskandar

Wahahaha! That's my Master there! You really do have keen insight into the workings of battle!

Mash

Senpai, where were you from again? Did you work in a super exploitative company before coming to Chaldea?

What I'm saying is that you seem very adept at navigating a conflict and unreasonable demands!

Your choice

I hate my life!

Iskandar

Wahaha! Don't say that. Come, even my Bucephalus is excited by the prospect of battle!

Fou

Foooou!

Iskandar

Even that little squirrel over there is excited!

Mash

Fou!?

?!

Iskandar

Besides, this battle may have begun as just a fun romp, but that may not be the case now.

Dr. Roman

What do you mean?

Iskandar

When I arrived in this land for an expedition, King Darius' troops were not the only ones who blocked our path.

They were like the evil spirits that we are fighting right now. They were relentless in ambushing us.

And along with those old memories... My men say their blood is stirring.

Mash

Huh?

Iskandar

They want to fight! Like back in the day... So fiercely, so courageously! Wagering their short lives for a chance at glory!

Men who had gathered to join in my path to conquer across the sea of sand! That is what they desire!

So, as king, I must answer their call!

Dr. Roman

What's with this sudden!?

Your choice

...Where are we?

Dr. Roman

?!

A Reality Marble! But this is strange. How could the King of Conquerors as a Rider manage such powerful magecraft?

No, wait a minute! I detect numerous Servant signatures nearby!

This... What is going on!? I'm detecting more than 10,000!

Iskandar

Ah, look at your faces! Even I am excited. I'm trembling!

Now, raise your voices for battle!

The time of wonderment is here, Fujimaru, Shield Maiden! This is truly my kingship! My bond! My ultimate Noble Phantasm!

Run them down! Ionioi Hetairoi!!

2. After the battle

Mash

Amazing... Was that your Noble Phantasm?

Dr. Roman

The successive Servant summoning was a surprise! How many Servants were there!? Who knew they'd all be Heroic Spirits!?

Iskandar

Yes, indeed. They all went wild to their hearts' content. As usual, my men are unbelievable.

Fujimaru, and Shield Maiden as well. To see you unmoved by the mass of strong enemies was admirable.

My men were also in awe of your recklessness.

Mash

...Th-thank you.

Iskandar

If there ever is another opportunity to wade into battle together, they would be more than happy to, is what they are saying.

Dr. Roman

Um...I don't quite understand what's going on, but can we assume you will help us out again?

Iskandar

Indeed. Not only do you have my support, but my men have all agreed as well.

Therefore, I declare here and now:

Under the banner of the King of Conquerors Iskandar, we of the Eastern Expedition Mixed Army shall participate in the Grand Order.

My Master! Command my Noble Phantasm, "Ionioi Hetairoi," well!
