Chapter 3 The Approaching Crisis
"Hahaha!"
"You're not late at all, or rather, you've arrived at the perfect time."
Seeing Kotomine Shirou enter, Leonidas, who was staring at the sand table in the center of the camp, laughed as he walked towards Kotomine Shirou and patted him on the shoulder repeatedly.
"That's right, we just happened to have something we wanted to discuss with you."
Tomoe Gozen, who was standing to the side, also chuckled and said.
"However, you just woke up, so you must be hungry. I've prepared food for you, so eat while we talk."
Tomoe Gozen gently smiled and placed the kept-warm food from the table beside her in front of Kotomine Shirou.
"Thank you, Tomoe Gozen-sensei."
As comrades who had fought side by side for a long time, Kotomine Shirou unceremoniously took the food from Tomoe Gozen's hands and began stuffing it into his mouth.
Shirou Kotomine was not familiar with the existence of Tomoe Gozen, a Heroic Spirit.
Although Shirou Kotomine's previous life also read a lot of Type-Moon series works.
But in his previous life, he had no idea about Tomoe Gozen, the Far East Heroic Spirit who had appeared in Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia.
Because in the original work, she had already died before the protagonist appeared.
Furthermore, Shirou Kotomine's understanding of this chapter in the original work came from the anime, not from the original game.
In the anime, there is no mention whatsoever of her or the other two deceased Heroic Spirits summoned by Gilgamesh.
However, because he arrived at a very early time, Tomoe Gozen was still alive at that time.
This gave Shirou Kotomine another teacher to guide him.
Kotomine Shirou is weak.
Although he is now the adopted son of two major bosses in his original timeline, those two could not pass on much to Shirou Kotomine.
This was determined by the era and circumstances.
Although Shirou Kotomine was much stronger than Rin Tohsaka, a genius magician of the same age, the difference in the times rendered his strength meaningless.
This is a singularity.
It is the age of the gods.
It was an era when the gods still existed.
Their enemy is the gods.
Faced with such an enemy, Shirou Kotomine is undoubtedly nothing more than an ant.
Fortunately, what he now needs to face is not the gods, but the monsters created by the gods to destroy humanity.
Even so, Shirou Kotomine still needs to grow.
And the North Wall is the perfect place for Kotomine Shirou to grow up.
After all, there are endless monsters here.
There are endless battles.
During this time, Shirou Kotomine followed Leonidas and Tomoe Gozen, constantly learning their skills and fighting philosophies.
Especially the techniques for killing the enemy.
This is an area he had previously lacked.
Under the tutelage of the two and through countless battles, Shirou Kotomine has grown considerably in both body and mind compared to his former self.
Of course, in addition to combat skills, Leonidas and Tomoe Gozen also taught Kotomine Shirou some other techniques.
For example, techniques for commanding troops, and techniques for sleeping.
Like taking a short rest after a battle to recover one's condition, this is the technique that Leonidas taught to Shirou Kotomine.
It was precisely because of their wholehearted teaching that Kotomine Shirou respectfully called them his teachers.
.
"To put it simply, our situation is likely to become very dangerous."
Beside the sand table in the center of the large tent, Leonidas spoke earnestly to Kotomine Shirou and Tomoe Gozen.
His voice was filled with seriousness at this moment.
This is completely different from his usual self.
"Actually, I did feel a sense of crisis, but because I was constantly fighting, I didn't discover the source of the crisis."
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Shirou Kotomine quickly reported his feelings about the battle to Leonidas.
At the beginning of the battle, Shirou Kotomine, like other soldiers, charged to the front lines.
But as he continued to explore his potential, he quickly found his own fighting style.
That is shooting.
I have a great talent for archery.
As a reincarnated being, Shirou Kotomine was aware of this.
So he joined the school's archery club at a young age and quickly became its ace.
As he practiced, Shirou Kotomine reached a level where he could hit the target before he even fired the shot.
Such a person is virtually infallible when it comes to shooting.
As an archer, he can survey the entire battlefield and continuously provide support to various dangerous areas.
As a result, he saved many soldiers who were supposed to die.
This is one of the reasons why he is so respected.
It was precisely because he needed to keep a close eye on the entire front line at all times that he felt the sense of crisis hidden in the shadows.
"I feel the same way."
Tomoe Gozen then spoke up.
Hearing their responses, Leonidas nodded slightly and then began his explanation.
"The reason why you two didn't see through the situation is because you were both at the very front lines, even in the heart of the enemy territory, so you only had a vague feeling."
"But as the commander, I could see very clearly from the rear that the enemy's organization had been greatly improved."
Here on the north wall, Leonidas and Tomoe have different roles.
Leonidas was a marshal.
His task was to train troops and organize soldiers to resist the attack of monsters.
It was under his command that the soldiers of Uruk were able to exert their powerful coordinated combat capabilities and keep the monsters at bay on this front line.
Without a doubt, he is the most important figure in the entire North Wall.
Tomoe Gozen's position was that of a general.
With her formidable fighting prowess, she would charge into the enemy ranks every time a battle began.
Although she is gentle to others in normal times, on the battlefield, her style is extremely ferocious, wantonly ravaging the enemy army.
Among the seven Servants summoned by Gilgamesh, besides Merlin, her combat power is among the top.
"Their organization has improved? You mean the enemy has a commander?"
Tomoe Gozen, who had also been a military commander in his previous life, instantly understood Leonidas's meaning.
Compared to these monsters, Uruk's soldiers were weaker in both numbers and individual strength.
The reason they have been able to hold out until now, besides Leonidas's command and Tomoe Gozen's fierce fighting, is more importantly that the enemy has no real commander.
Although there are many monsters, they are just a scattered mess.
This makes it impossible for them to unleash their full power.
But if the other side really does have a commander, then the entire North Wall will probably be in danger.
If the northern wall falls, the entire Uruk will likely be destroyed.
"No, we must inform King Gilgamesh immediately; we need support."
Tomoe Gozen's tone became urgent.
Leonidas agreed with her point of view.
Then he looked at Kotomine Shirou.
"Leave it to me."
Having quickly grasped Leonidas's meaning, Shirou Kotomine immediately accepted the task.
He knew that this trip was indispensable to him.
