rlin narrowed his eyes disbelievingly as the ga finally sent out the ssage to both him and Luna. How interesting. What could have possibly caused a Servant to kill their own Master? Was it a clash of ideals? Maybe the rook wanted to do one thing and the master wanted to do sothing else? Or is the rook just the sort of person who would enjoy killing another person for the sake of it?
Well, there is no rule saying that a servant cannot kill their own master. I am sure the ga left that out because it is just common sense that a servant shouldn't want to kill their master, but the ga must have failed to account for a situation where the Servant really kills their master and we are left with quite the dilemma.
So now, the Servant rook has twenty-four hours to find a new master or he dies, but he also has twelve hours where no one can touch him. This has to be the most interesting situation I've seen in a long ti.
Mark seed to be deep in thought as he considered the possible repercussions that could co from the rook's master being killed like this. Doesn't this an that the rook is going to start looking for another master more aggressively now? I have about four hours before my non-aggression pact ends, so it is obvious that I am most likely the next target.
The rook will probably try to kill so that they can make a deal with Luna.
No, that would be suicide for anyone. The rook should know that rlin is also contracted to Luna, so he would be outnumbered if he attacked us. It will turn to a two-on-one, and no matter how strong he is, he will definitely lose.
Mark was not happy that the non-aggression period was coming to an end so quickly, so he knew that he had to form a plan quickly before things spiraled out of his control. But before he could even finish that thought, another ssage appeared from the ga. Mark read through the new ssage and he imdiately sat up in shock! What the fuck was that Knight thinking!?
How did he even get this information!?
Mark looked around him and tried to see if there was any familiar like the wiik-bat that was spying on them. He narrowed his eyes in irritation and scratched his head in annoyance when he did not notice anything.
"What is it?"
Luna noticed the look of annoyance on Mark's face and Mark realized that she and rlin did not get a ssage. He was the only one here that the ga sent the ssage to. Does that an that the ga only sent the ssage out to the Servants? I didn't know that you would even send ssages like this in the ga. I didn't see any feature like that when reading through the rules for the ga.
Is it sothing only the knight can do?
"The knight sent out a ssage to all the other participants saying he wishes to sit down and have a drink with us."
Luna blinked in surprise and rlin humd curiously as they heard what Mark said. Why would he be inviting them for a drink?
rlin was the first to speak up. He didn't think it was possible that the knight was actually inviting them to have a drink. Maybe there was a different aning to it where the knight was from.
"Is that a fancy way of challenging people to a fight where he ca from?"
"No, I don't think so. I think he's legitimately inviting us for a drink. The sa ssage was sent to the knight and king, but I don't know if they are going to answer the call or not. But it is very likely that they will. There is sothing that he added to the ssage that will make them want to answer."
rlin raised a curious brow.
"What is it? So sort of threat?"
Mark shook his head.
"It would've been a lot better if it was just a threat. He sohow found out where our territories are and sent out the position of all the servants."
"What!?"
Luna imdiately shouted in anger and she told Mark to read out what was sent!
[The PAWN resides in the prefecture of Saitama, off the border of Shibuya. The ROOK resides in the Shinjuku Hotel, close to the Tokyo River. The King resides in the Toneri Oak Museum in Adachi city.]
Mark paused.
[I am already aware of all your locations and I could have launched attacks on every one of you at any ti I wished, but I chose not to. I currently reside a reasonable distance from my territory, on the coast of the Arakawa River, right beneath the overhead carapace of Tokyo Bay, within a solitary do. This land is my ho, these people are my people. This river, is my source of life.
I do not wish to bring death and destruction upon it needlessly. Therefore, I wish to invite you for a drink. Let us sit, as n, and discuss the coming battle. Let us see if we can co to a conclusion that may favor not only us but the people of the city in which we find ourselves. If, during our eting, a final resolution cannot be reached, then we shall begin the battle then and there.
Co and find within the day, I am waiting.]
Once Mark finished reading out the ssage, rlin grunted. That was the most cheeky move that rlin had ever seen. rlin was now very curious to know who this Knight was. He sounds like soone who has been through many wars and is accustod to having bureaucratic conversations between generals in order to reduce the number of casualties in the war.
The Knight could have attacked at any ti that he wanted, but instead, he was telling them to co and et him on equal ground so they would talk and if they didn't reach a common conclusion while talking, then he was going to start attacking people left and right like a mad man.
"But the king will be at a disadvantage if they go. All three of the other participants have their non-aggression period active, even though Mark's period is almost over. The king is the only one who will not have any form of protection from the system. I doubt the king will agree to co at all."
rlin explained his thoughts calmly as he realized the king would likely not co. It would be dangerous to just step into an invitation like this. Even if the knight is telling the truth and he is not in his territory, I'm sure he is close to his territory so he can easily reach it if a fight breaks out.
But it was also good because at least now they had the general location of the Knight's territory. He was located in Tokyo Bay along the Arakawa River, so his territory had to be close to the River as well.
rlin turned to Mark with a question.
"Was the wiik-bat able to find the knight's territory? If it did, then we can use this to our advantage."
