This game is called Orbat Clash. It's about pitting ancient imperial armies against each other.
We'll be playing Macedonia vs. Persia, two great nations whose conflict has actual historical roots.
As the players, you and I will each command an army of Servants.
Those Servants will take it in turns to fight for control over nine flags, with one battle per flag.
Whichever side claims five flags, or three flags in a row, is the winner.
Successfully claiming a flag also nets you a token. Since there's nine flags, there's nine tokens in total.
However, you can't claim your tokens until the game is over.
So it's like at the werewolf house?
Someone holds onto them, like Jeanne did for werewolf?
？！
That's right.
I see. So we'll have to fight each flag battle with only the warriors we have now.
I'll be leading the Macedonian army, of course!
Isss! Kaaan! DAAARRR!!!
Uh-oh! Darius is getting very worked up, Senpai!
Well, he and Iskandar do have a lot of history.
Guess that means he'll be leading the Persian army then.
？！
I suppose conflict between Darius and Iskandar is inevitable, especially given everything that happened between them...
But do you think it will fit within the rules of the game? The way things are going now, they're liable to escalate into all-out war!
Don't worry about the general. I'll find a way to keep him in line.
That's great to hear, Arash! Thank you!
MOOOVE!
Easy, General. Your enemy's the Great King, remember? I doubt he's gonna be part of the vanguard.
HMMMmmm...?
So why not sit back, get a good look at the whole battlefield, and make sure you're ready to fight? That way, you'll be good to go at the same time as the opponent you want to face.
HMMMmmm...!
Say what they will, I actually do like to lead the first charge of the battle. What say you, my Master of this world? Shall I start things off with an early victory?
No, Great King, you stay put for now. I've got plenty of other talented generals I can call on in the meantime.
For example...!
Hey there. I'm Achilles, a Rider, good to go at any time. Who's my unlucky opponent?
Achilles!? You're here too!?
S-sure am. What's up with you, big guy? Just take it easy, all right?
Or what, is there somebody here with a vendetta against me...again?
Well, if it's a fight you want, I'm happy to oblige!
Hahahaha! Now that's a great hero for you! Not even I'm worthy of his notice!
Excellent! I can feel my blood boiling with excitement! I'd love to ride into battle by your side!
Great. Even though things couldn't be worse right now, I'm still so happy I could cry...
M-my apologies, Great King, but I'm afraid I have to ask you to refrain.
Really? No good? Hmm. I'm still tempted to go out there regardless...
But, very well. I suppose I can be content with witnessing the legendary immortal warrior in action!
It looks like Erice's side chose their vanguard, Senpai! We should do the sa
Yup, looks like it's our turn!
I think one of our tokens is way ahead of you!
？！
There she is!
I knew it. I knew I smelled you, Achi... Achilleeeeees!
Aw, crap. Just my luck.
All right, let's get this over with. Bring it on, Queen of the Amazons!
You're dead! Dead! Dead, dead, dead, dead!!! !!!
Penthesilea is certainly raring to go. What do we do for this first round, Senpai?
Let's just let her do her thing.
I don't think we could stop her and live totell about it, so...it's all up to her now.
？！
Understood!
Okay, let's stay here and cheer her on then.
Hmm! While I hate to leave her to fend for herself, I'm willing to defer to your judgment, Fujimaru!
How about you, kid? What're you going to do?
I...
Voyager, Senpai, and I have made it this far as a team.
But since we're facing Erice this time, it's okay if you don't think you're up for it.
What do you think?
It's up to you, Voyager.
？！
I...
