Afterward, Darnic gave an instruction to Caster who had been silent during the talk.
"Send part of the golem group to follow Celenike. Be sure to bring the Rider back."
If they didn't do this then the only way to bring Astolfo back was to use a Command Spell, however, in order to save the Command Spell from being used recklessly, they needed to use a golem since even if Astolfo was the weakest among servants in the Holy Grail War, it didn't mean he was weak enough to be caught by Celenike alone so Darnic had decided to instruct Caster to send a golem to help her on this mission to bring Astolfo back since there was no way that they would send a servant to help Celenike to catch Astolfo.
The Black Faction had lost Saber, Assassin, and Rider, if they sent out another servant to help Celenike catch the Rider, then the defense of their basecamp would be weakened and if that happened, it would be difficult to cope with the Red Faction that might attack them anytime.
"So now is the time to use your power, Caster," Darnic said solemnly.
Caster's combat ability was quite low and wasn't the type of servant that could be used for direct combat, however, Caster was almost unmatched in his ability to create and manipulate golems.
As long as there was an endless supply of materials, Caster could create a large number of strong golems.
These golems were divided into three types: small, medium, and large. Their combat power rivals those of low-level servants. Some high-quality golems could even fight against Saber, who was known as the strongest servant for three rounds.
With the help of those golems, it wouldn't be difficult for Celenike to bring back Astolfo.
It was also because of Caster's ability that the Yggdmillennia clan regarded him as one of the most important servants as Vlad III, they summoned him in advance, provided him with a lot of materials, and let him create a lot of golems for the Holy Grail War.
Caster also understood that his role in this battle was to create golems to fight the Red Faction with a quantity advantage.
"Understood."
Caster nodded and didn't say much.
"With the teacher's ability, everything is going to be alright."
Roche expressed his support for his servant without doubting Caster's ability, showing how much trust and confidence that he had in Caster. He, after all, was someone who was very obsessed with the golem, and Caster who was a master at golem creation was his object of worship.
It was also the reason why Roche also called Caster, his teacher.
Then...
"Everyone!"
Vlad II finally stood up and spoke to everyone.
"Tell me, how should we deal with the servants of the Red Camp at this time, when we have lost Saber, one of the strongest servants under our action."
This was the first problem that needed to be solved as soon as possible.
"Our combat power has been drastically reduced. Without doubt, the loss of three servants has caused a disadvantage to our situation, but don't fear, we're not losing and we can use this disadvantage to our advantage."
Vlad III didn't hide that their faction and admitted that they were in a disadvantageous situation, but he also needed to raise their morals so they didn't lose their will to fight.
"Today's situation is not better than the war that I have faced before so for now, tell me whether you have an idea how to turn our disadvantage at this moment."
Before his death, Vlad III blocked the Ottoman Empire from invading his country in the past.
Even though the Ottoman Empire had an army of 150,000 people and Vlad III only had 10,000 people under him, Vlad III won against the Ottoman Empire
Compared to the quantitative disadvantage at that time, the quantitative disadvantage between Red Faction and Black Faction was only a small number that could be counted by hand, so Vlad III made everyone not be discouraged by this matter.
However, the enemy wasn't an ordinary soldier, but a servant that could be compared to one thousand, ten thousand, hundreds of thousands, or even a million enemies.
Then the question was... how to reverse their disadvantage?
Vlad III questioned everyone.
"Now, there are only four servants in our faction, and the enemy has seven servants." Darnic looked at Vlad III and said, "King, maybe we have to search for a chance to kill one or two servants before the conclusive batter so we won't lose in number disadvantage."
In other words, Darnic's proposal was to bait one or two servants so they would be separated from the group and then kill them when they were alone.
It was a good plan, but it was no longer necessary.
"Mr. Darnic, I almost forgot to tell you, but the number of servants on the opponent shouldn't be that much different from us," Haru said suddenly. He thought for a while and said, "The number of servants that they can use should be similar to us, that is, four servants."
"!!!"
Haru's words surprised everyone.
"Four servants?"
Vlad III cast his gaze on Haru.
The others also looked at Haru.
"Kasugano-kun, can you explain it to us?" Darnic almost couldn't contain his emotion and thought that Haru was really his lucky star. He gazed at Fiore and nodded, feeling that he should make them be together.
Haru didn't know what Darnic was thinking and nodded. "Yes, the Berserker of Red has been defeated by my Berserker."
"!!!"
This shocking news made everyone open their eyes and mouths wide since they were startled!
"Really?" Fiore was surprised, and asked, Haru quickly, "Kasugano-kun, did you really defeat Berserker in Bucharest?"
"Was it related to the strange phenomenon which happened in Bucharest before?" Chiron suddenly asked.
"Strange phenomenon?"
Everyone looked at Chiron at the same time.
"Well...." Chiron then explained when he felt the tremendous pressure that happened in Bucharest that somehow it caused affect his battle with Saber of Red at that time.
Fiore also felt that feeling too since without that strange pressure, she wouldn't be able to escape from Kairi and Caules didn't have time to save her, at that time, she was quite grateful for that strange pressure, even if that pressure made her uncomfortable.
Everyone was thinking that it might be Berserker's Noble Phantasm and they quickly cast their eyes on Haru.
Haru nodded and didn't hide it. "Yes, it is Berserker's Noble Phantasm. She used it to defeat the Berserker of Red in Bucharest before."
Everyone sighed with relief and thought of it as good news!
Raikou giggled at Haru's words and thought that he was very cunning, but she loved this part of him.
After all, even if Haru told them that he was the one who defeated Spartacus, there was no way that they would believe him and it was too troublesome too so he told everyone the one who defeated Spartacus was Raikou.
Everyone also thought so since in their minds, there was no way for a master to defeat a servant, but still, it was good news when they learned that Haru and his servant had defeated Berserker of Red.
"But Kasugano-kun, even if you have defeated the Berserker of Red, there should be six servants left." Darnic looked at Haru and asked, "Why did you say that there are only four servants?"
"It's very simple, Mr. Darnic." Haru looked at Darnic and said, "As far as I know, the Saber or Red shouldn't be together with the Red Faction, but acting independently in this Holy Grail War. The Caster of Red is also unable to help in battle and can only act as a support. The only servants that can be used are only four servants. Even if you count Saber of Red, they only have five servants, so the difference of number between us isn't that much different."
"Five servants..." Darnic showed a rare smile and thought the situation wasn't as bad as he thought.
Not only Darnic, but everyone also sighed with relief and felt relaxed somehow.
"Well done, Kasugano Young Man." Vlad III smiled and said, "You have done a great job and I will write this as your credit in your military career."
"..."
Haru was speechless, but he shook his head. "Don't be too happy first since those five servants are too troublesome."
Darnic raised his brows and asked, "Can you explain to us, Kasugano-kun?"
Haru nodded and said, "Out of five servants, I know three of their identities, and two of them are very troublesome servants."
"Three servants?!"
Everyone was surprised once again, thinking that this young man really brought them a surprise every time.
"The first one is Archer, her real identity is Atalanta," Haru said.
"Atalanta...."
Everyone frowned and knew who she was since she was fairly famous for her deeds, and it could be said that she was quite a troublesome servant since her speed was undoubtedly one of the fastest among a hero on the Holy Grail, but it didn't mean that they couldn't defeat her since even if her speed was fast, her body was fairly weak, so they didn't think about this too much but...
"However, Atalanta's threat is far less than the Lancer and Rider in the Red Faction since their identity is Karna and Achilles respectively."
The complexion of everyone suddenly changed.
"Hero of Charity? Karna?"
Darnic's eyes trembled.
"Achilles?!"
Chiron was also startled, and his expression also changed abruptly.
Everyone's reaction was also similar since the two servants that were mentioned by Haru were both top-notch heroes among the Holy Grail.
"Karna and Achilles..."
Vlad III frowned.
In Romania, as the most famous hero in this country, Vlad III's status bonus could be said to be very scary, turning him from a first-class servant to a super-class servant.
However, even Vladd III was unable to say that he would win against two servants.
Karna was the best servant among the heroic spirits.
Achilles, on the other hand, had an immortal body that couldn't be damaged unless a servant had a divinity skill on their status.
The combat power of Karna and Achilles was very scary, and if it was a normal Holy Grail War, both servants could wreck every servant on the Holy Grail War easily.
"So it is too early to relax."
Haru then looked at everyone and said, "Now, we need to think about how to deal with these two servants."
