425 I Won’t Let You Die

"Did you really decide to take just one person with you?"

"Well, that's enough." Tang Hao looked at Kazuko standing next to him, smiled slightly, and nodded confidently.

Today is Monday, the day when school starts, and it is also the day that students miss the most. However, as a good student with excellent moral character, Tohsaka Rin took special leave and did not go out for the whole day. He was either tinkering with magic tricks or Everyone discussed how to deal with Shiro Amakusa.

For a heroic spirit who strives to "save mankind", once a decision is made, there will never be any turning back. This invitation reveals the flavor of a decisive battle, both covertly and overtly. From behind the scenes to the front desk, Amakusa Shiro must have great confidence. , Tang Hao no longer kept any reservations, revealed all the known information, and combined with everyone's wisdom and the assistance from Chaldea, he speculated on Amakusa Shiro's plan.

If the two sides are facing each other in an open fight, Akubeko will hold off Gilgamesh, the strongest enemy, and the rest will fight against each other. For example, let Hercules fight Achilles, Uzu against Orange, and Nero. Against Cu Chulainn, Ishtar against Shiro Amakusa. Then the enemy's remaining combat power is Medea, Kuzuki Soichiro, two rituals, and Assassin who has never been seen but is most likely the Assyrian Empress. And here are Tang Hao, Patchouli, and Okita Souji And little Illya, who can no longer use the Star Girl mode, but can still perform dream summons and is worthy of a battle.

In terms of numbers, the two sides are completely consistent, and in terms of combat power, among the first five battles, except for the two battles between Kazuko and Nero, which are difficult to say, the remaining three battles can basically be won steadily as long as no accidents occur. , after Chaldea’s calculations, the total winning rate is as high as 70%.

However, the real battle is not just based on paper data.

Although there are only two types of heroes in Greek mythology, Hercules and others, even Achilles, who ranks second in fame and legend, can hardly be compared with Hercules. But after becoming a servant, Hercules Can you definitely win? Not to mention the unsuitability of the mad level, he only has one life left in the twelve trials, but Achilles is almost at full status!

The same goes for the remaining groups. On paper, this side has the advantage, but in terms of intrigues, Orange must at least outshine Youzhu. Nero's emperor's privileges can really seal Cú Chulainn's small strong attributes. ? Ishtar is very strong, but Amakusa Shiro is the mastermind behind the scenes, not to mention that Rin is prone to slipping up at critical moments... These surprises cannot be calculated through data.

And most importantly, would Amakusa Shiro arrange his troops in this way? If the Assyrian Empress directly summoned the Sky Garden at the moment they arrived at the Great Hollow, then they would have to fight on the enemy's home turf. Then the enemies they would have to face would not only be the above servants, but also countless others. Endless familiars... one after another disappears, and if the 70% winning rate is doubled, it may not even be 30%.

In addition, there is also the existence of Chi's death. God knows what kind of monster this guy will do when the time comes.

Combining the above considerations, Tang Hao finally gave up the plan of putting all his eggs in one basket and decided that only he and Kazuko would go to the meeting, while the others would wait outside.

This arrangement was strongly opposed by everyone at the beginning. No matter how strong Akuko was, it was not enough to defeat so many enemies, and the two of them would probably never come back.

But in the end, no one could change his decision.

"Don't worry." Looking at the concerned expressions on Tohsaka Rin and others' faces, Tang Hao smiled and said, "Amakusa's biggest target is always me. As long as I arrive, he, including Gilgamesh, will not act rashly against you. This way As soon as you come, you will have the opportunity to adapt to changes. As for me... I have seen a lot of strong winds and waves. Such a formation staff cannot kill me, and I am not alone."

"Well then, see you in the Hollow."

After saying that, Tang Hao waved his hand, turned around and walked away side by side with Kazuko.

As he set off, he looked at his phone and saw that it was exactly nine o'clock in the evening.

Everyone watched the two people leaving, speechless for a long time.

…

In the darkness, Tang Hao and Ade Hiko walked not very fast, just like a couple walking on the street at night. No one spoke at first, until the surroundings gradually became silent, and only the sound of insects was left. Hinako finally spoke.

"This situation reminds me of some past events."

"What past events?"

"Hongmen Banquet."

"Oh, I know that. Liu Bang went to Xiang Yu's Hongmen Banquet to plead guilty, but Xiang Yu was too embarrassed to kill him, and eventually lost the world." Tang Hao thought to himself, if Xiang Yu killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, there might not be a subsequent Chu-Han struggle for hegemony. , the history will probably be completely different.

"What, you don't even read history?"

"Huh? Ah..." Tang Hao was stunned, looking at the slightly dissatisfied expression of the girl next to him, and then he remembered that the history he knew was different from the history the other party said. This beautiful woman beside him was the Xiang Yu... Oops, I got confused by accident.

Tang Hao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but Jie Xiaozi didn't care, and said: "It was the most turbulent era in the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang gathered eighteen princes to besiege the city and forced Emperor Ji to give up the throne. In order not to ruin the lives of the people, he was When foreigners took advantage of the situation, Emperor Ji agreed to their invitation and went out of the city to attend the meeting at Hongmen. At that time, it was just like now, it was just me and her, without any soldiers."

"I see." Tang Hao nodded. He had never heard of this purpose before. It felt like he was listening to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, "Was Liu Bang already so powerful at that time? He could assemble eighteen princes. "

"No, at that time Liu Bang was just a little person, ranked at the bottom of the ten princes, and he was the kind who ran errands for other princes. Who would have thought that he was the biggest winner at that time. But there was a man named Zhang Liang is a very powerful person. Emperor Ji once said that he has a talent for managing the world, and her judgment was indeed proved later."

"Forget it, let's not mention Liu Bang, let's talk about the Hongmen Banquet."

"Um."

"Were you two the only ones there?"

"Yes, because Emperor Ji doesn't want to fight. Such a civil war will only make foreigners take advantage, so she decided to go alone. On the one hand, she wanted to show her sincerity, and on the other hand... you know, those in high positions All the princes are obsessed with saving face and are very suspicious. If you bring troops, you may be beaten, but if you don't bring any soldiers, they will be suspicious. Even if they have murderous intentions in their hearts, they will not dare to be the first to take action."

"That's true." Tang Hao nodded. Emperor Ji was still the emperor at that time. Whoever took action first would be charged with killing the emperor. It might be his turn next.

"So when Emperor Ji and I arrived at Hongmen, everyone was dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that Emperor Ji would be so bold and not bring any soldiers. Look at those people at the banquet. Look at you, everyone looks like they are constipated. In fact, they had prepared a knife and axe, and decided to take action during the banquet. However, during the process, they were pushing each other back and forth, and no one dared to take the lead. One guy probably fell The cup was the order, but he almost dropped the cup, and he picked it up again, which made me almost die laughing."

Although it was a very thrilling thing, it was a little more interesting when Kazuko said it like this. Tang Hao couldn't help but smile, "This is a problem of lack of unity. If everyone is of one mind, they will probably take action."

"There's no way to unite. Those guys are used to scheming and fighting. They all have the mentality of picking up bargains. They want to be the emperor but don't want to be charged with killing the emperor. But there is nothing so cheap in the world. "

"So in the end you finished the wine, finished the food, and went back without any injuries?"

"yes."

"What if they actually do it?"

"It's hard to say. There are some pretty powerful guys among those people. If they all rush up together, I'll probably be fine, but Ji Di might die."

"Hmm... Although it's a hypothesis, what if Emperor Ji is really killed?"

"... Then they will probably all die. At least none of the eighteen nobles will be able to escape."

"Then they actually saved their lives."

"Is it a good thing?"

"Yes."

"..."

"But it's different now."

"Um."

"Gilgamesh should wait until the end as agreed, but Amakusa will definitely take action."

"Um."

"Although Gilgamesh has waited ten years for a decisive battle with me, if Amakusa can really kill me, he probably won't care."

"Because he only wants to fight the strongest you?"

"Yes, his thoughts are actually easy to guess."

"...I'll help you kill him."

"Can you win?"

"I don't know, but he can't kill me anyway."

"……forget it."

"..."

"By the way, let's talk about another hypothesis. If I die..."

"I won't let you die."

"I mean what if..."

"There's no such thing as what if."

"All right."

"I also want to make a hypothesis."

"What?"

"If you had to pick one of the girls in that room, who would you choose?"

"Why did you suddenly jump to this topic? I really have no relationship with them other than comrades."

"Just now?"

"Then... no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. After all, I am so handsome. If we get along with each other for a long time, they will definitely like me."

"You are so shameless."

"I'm just telling the truth. Didn't you see that when we left before, the way they looked at me was so concerned and worried? This is clearly evidence that they have fallen in love with me."

"Yes, it is."

"Oh, I'm already here as soon as I say it, so fast."

Not far away, under the dim moonlight, a large hollow is right in front of you, and there is a faint hint of weirdness and chill in the dark environment.

Tang Hao felt his hand being held and turned his head, only to see Kazuko's serious expression.

"I won't let you die!"

Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, then tightened his hand, held it firmly, and said with a smile: "Of course!"
