บท 180: Chapter 180
Artoria's wish left all the readers stunned.
Of course, Ren altered Artoria's wish from the original "Fate/Zero."
In the original "Fate/Zero," Artoria's wish was to "go back to the past, to save my homeland. I want to change Britain's fate of destruction."
To be honest, Ren thought there was nothing wrong with this.
Ren believed that even Emperor Qin Shi Huang, if he obtained the Holy Grail, would want to change his country's fate of falling in the hands of the second emperor.
So, Ren changed it to Artoria's more detailed wish from "Fate/Stay Night"—to go back to the time when knights were competing for the sword in the stone and to give the chance to become king to someone more suitable.
When Daniel heard this wish, he was stunned.
To be honest, wanting to go back and change some things seemed okay to Daniel.
If Artoria's wish was to go back and kill Mordred, changing the outcome of the Battle of Camlann, that would be one thing. But wanting to go back to the selection of the king and not become king herself was a problem.
This wasn't just about changing the past. This was Artoria denying everything she did as a king!
No, it was even more than that. As Iskandar said, it was an insult to everyone who created the era with her!
If the knights of the Round Table knew their king had such a thought, they might think she had gone mad and shoot her with machine guns.
Would Emperor Qin Shi Huang regret conquering the six states and building the Great Wall if he could go back in time?
Daniel didn't think so. Even if he did it again, he would probably still force the people to build the Great Wall, because he believed it was a lasting achievement, something necessary.
Even if he went back in time, he wouldn't avoid becoming emperor. Instead, he would become emperor again, first getting rid of the traitor Zhao Gao and then making his useless son, Hu Hai, a commoner.
Artoria's wish didn't sit well with Daniel, let alone the other two kings.
Artoria couldn't get Gilgamesh's approval because her wish showed a wavering belief. When she spoke of her wish, Gilgamesh couldn't help but laugh, as if laughing at a naive child.
However, as the other two kings laughed at Artoria's wish, an unexpected event occurred!
Under the moonlight, white figures began to appear in the courtyard. One after another, pale faces emerged like flowers blooming. The pale color was the cold, dry color of bones.
Skeleton masks and black robes. The once empty courtyard was gradually filled with these strange figures.
These were the Assassins!
"Archer, Saber, this is the final question of the banquet! Should a king be alone?"
Gilgamesh laughed lightly, calmly drinking wine, watching the tall figure of Iskandar, whose red cloak was billowing in the magical energy flow.
Artoria responded, "As a king... one must be... a solitary existence."
"That's not right, you still don't understand."
Readers were excited by this moment.
It seemed like a big move was coming!
Indeed, Iskandar demonstrated his kingly presence—Reality Marble, Ionioi Hetairoi!
Iskandar's unparalleled army stood in stark contrast to Artoria's desolate expression.
A king is not solitary!
"A king who gathers all the heroes' beliefs and begins an expedition with that goal is not alone because his wishes are the wishes of all his subjects!"
With Ren's improved drawing skills, at this moment, Iskandar looked heroic and spirited.
Daniel felt as if he was in that army, crossing mountains and seas, conquering one ancient civilization after another.
The words seemed to break through the pages and echoed in his ears.
This excited Daniel and the fans to no end.
To them, someone with such ambition and spirit was worthy of being called a king!
Iskandar, one of the greatest rulers in ancient human history, lived up to his title of King of Conquerors!
The following battle proved this point. The Assassins, lurking in the shadows, without shields or large swords, and lacking the "all is permitted" creed, couldn't stand against the tide of an army and were ultimately slaughtered.
"The Assassins got a lousy master."
Watching the victorious army, many readers couldn't help but mutter.
In this manga, Ren modified Hassan-i-Sabbah's character somewhat.
Overall, he leaned more positively.
Loyal and efficient, though an assassin, he was a good and qualified servant.
Unfortunately, this loyal Assassin faced his master's betrayal.
At this moment, many online comments discussed Iskandar.
"I have to say, of all the masters and servants so far, I like Iskandar and Waver the most! They interact the most, and these interactions showcase their characters well."
"Exactly! Across all the battlefields, aside from Gilgamesh's long taunts, Iskandar has the most lines. These lines, along with the plot, have really brought his character to life. Especially today's Three Kings Banquet, it felt like the Porter brought Iskandar to life."
Most online comments praised Iskandar, with some criticizing Saber's kingly philosophy.
While discussing the Three Kings Banquet, others were also talking about the twelfth chapter.
In Chapter 12, Tokiomi felt the time was right. He decided to stop hiding and use Archer's power to eliminate the other Masters.
Meanwhile, his apprentice Kirei, the master of the Assassin, seemed to realize something significant during his conversation with Archer.
Even the Command Seals that had disappeared reappeared on his hand.
"WTF." Daniel watched as Gilgamesh spoke to Kirei and as Kirei seemed to be moved by his words, he was stunned.
He had a guess.
Kirei was already considering participating in the Holy Grail War to seize the Grail. If so, he would need a servant.
But from the current servants, Daniel saw only two possibilities. One was Kenneth's Lancer, and the other...
Gilgamesh!
Yes, Gilgamesh. After all, it was Gilgamesh who tempted Kirei to desire the Grail. If Kirei wanted to go against his teacher, would Gilgamesh protect his master?
Also, Tokiomi clearly wouldn't guard against Kirei, making him the perfect target.
