This is a trap, a setup to lure these frightened monsters hiding in the dark.
The general framework of the trap was built by the Hero King Gilgamesh; the specific plan was formulated by the immortal Queen Scathach; the Magic King Solomon, who disguised himself as Roman, filled in the gaps as an insurance policy; and the Flower Magician Merlin, who appeared through the dreams of his fellow tribesmen, pushed the trap in secret.
Three men and one woman, each of them is a sage with the power to meet the future, and each of them is a super strong person standing at the top of human history.
Although with their strength and ability, there was no need to go through so much trouble and they could have crushed the enemy fairly, but they still did so for their own purposes and ideas, and came up with a plan that was mixed with all kinds of private agenda and was definitely neither good nor bad.
The purpose of the plan is twofold:
One of them has already said that we should gather all the heroic souls, activate the Greater Holy Grail, and end this Holy Grail War as soon as possible.
The other is for now, to lure out the monsters hiding in the dark and catch them all in one fell swoop.
The two are primary and secondary to each other, and the inside and outside of each other.
Of course, for Gilgamesh, these are all baits thrown out to lure others to cooperate. His goal has been achieved in the process, so he needs Scathach to make a detailed plan, as follows:
He acted as if he wanted to make a quick decision, fearing that there would be more trouble if the night went on.
This is actually quite normal. The Dead Apostles are the common enemy of mankind (at least on the surface). No one wants to have a group of monsters lurking in the dark, as they might be defeated one by one at any time.
In this case, the conventional melee of all-out fighting is obviously not appropriate. So the Grand Prix ranking, post-race duel, and the enforcement of the certificate ensure its implementation, and a new form of fairness and justice (in a relative sense) came into being.
Because everything was laid out in the open, there was very little room for Roa and the others to maneuver. If this pattern continued, the Greater Holy Grail would be activated in a few days, and then the Holy Grail War would end.
During this period, if Roa and others show up, then we will unite and beat the bastards who are causing trouble to death. If they don't show up, then we will end the Holy Grail War, let their plans fail, and wait another sixty years.
This is the plan with the highest safety factor, the most reliable and the most acceptable to the participants. Most masters and servants only know this much and therefore agree to sign the certificate and participate in the Grand Prix.
However, for Shinji's side, this plan was obviously insufficient.
Because this is an open conspiracy, both sides can see it clearly. Considering the difference in strength between the two sides, even if most of the servants are dead in the end, Roa's chances of winning are very small. These old immortals who have surpassed the lifespan of the living world are never short of patience, and it is very likely that they will really endure and wait another 60 years.
This was not what Shinji wanted. With Araya, a super barrier master who had the ability to hide from the suppression force monitoring, helping to cover up, trying to find them was like looking for a needle in a haystack. If they were allowed to escape, there would be endless troubles. With the hatred between the two sides, that guy might retaliate against Shinji at any time.
Shinji himself is not afraid, but he cannot help but think about his family, so he must kill Roa and his group here to eliminate the trouble once and for all.
So the master devised a second plan, showing weakness to the enemy, luring them in and killing them!
Just like Shinji wanted to kill Roa, Roa also had a strong desire to kill Shinji, not only because he was the guard knight of Elquit, but also for some reason that Roa himself didn't know. Scathach saw this reason, and she expected that if there was a chance, Roa would definitely come to attack Shinji.
However, due to the strength they had demonstrated before and the fact that Luo A and the others had suffered several losses, they would not act rashly, so this opportunity must be tempting enough.
First of all, he had to separate himself from the others and stay far enough away. Gilgamesh created a perfect excuse for this using the "Sword of the End Enki" and the "Spirit Blockade".
Secondly, it was to weaken his own strength. Shinji's original idea was that Gilgamesh was defeated, the master was seriously injured, and Rin was unconscious, and he would return with a few burdens to lure Roa to attack.
But Scathach thought that this was not enough. The existence of an Eternal being who was more thorough than the Dead Apostles was a kind of oppression. So she chose to fight Gilgamesh in the most intense way, and finally died together. Gilgamesh actively cooperated with her. The fight between the two was not fake, and neither of them let the opponent go. They just shortened the process as much as possible.
On the other hand, Shinji, the protagonist, must also be weakened. He was too ruthless before, and left a heavy psychological shadow on Roa and others. Even if he was the only one left, Roa might not dare to come unless he was seriously injured.
Because of the protection of Elquit, Shinji's recovery ability is much stronger than that of humans. It is difficult to keep him in a seriously injured state for a long time without using special techniques or Noble Phantasms. Cu Chulainn has such a Noble Phantasm, so Scathach planned a duel with her fellow disciples on the grounds of missing a Heroic Spirit and handing in homework.
Based on her understanding of her two disciples, Cu Chulainn will definitely find an opportunity to release the Noble Phantasm, and Shinji will be able to achieve the ultimate victory and figure out her arrangement in the end.
As for whether there will be any unexpected events that lead to a different ending? For example, Shinji accidentally dies? What if Cu Chulainn doesn't find a chance to release the Noble Phantasm
In response, Scathach said that risks and opportunities coexist. How could a teacher like me who can throw his students into a fantasy nest and a gathering place for evil spirits care about this? I gave them the opportunity. If they can't seize it, it's their own problem. They deserve it.
Of course, the result was as Scathach expected. Cu Chulainn completed his mission and left, and Shinji had a broken heart and even had difficulty walking. Although Rin, who had been released in advance, unexpectedly returned, it also added to the credibility of Shinji's injury - the girl knew very little about the plan, and everything she did was from the heart.
Finally, the masterminds who had been hiding in the dark and observing silently could not help themselves. After tracking the two for half an hour with Nero's herd as the leader, Roa finally determined that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and gathered all his strength to solve this mortal enemy once and for all.
At the same time, Shinji, who saw the familiar herd of beasts, also began to prepare secretly and calculated the time to take the medicine - the bottle of Indian magic medicine that Gilgamesh finally gave to Shinji.
Note that it is a magic medicine, not a magic oil. Not only can it quickly restore the body, but it can also drive away all curses. Obviously, this king who claimed to have sealed the "clairvoyance" also foresaw this outcome.
Because of the unexpected appearance of little Jack, Shinji knew he couldn't wait any longer. He took the medicine under the cover of thick fog, and when Roa and others thought they had won, he took action and turned the situation around in one fell swoop!
In an instant, the relationship between hunter and prey was reversed.
PS: The method of crushing is very simple. Merlin uses a clairvoyance to locate, and everyone rushes over together. Roa fights with his head. It's a pity that Merlin would help you. Why would he let you slander me all day long? Others have similar ideas. I can assist you, but you have to do it yourself. This group of extraordinary strong men are never the ones who will make everything clear to you. Haven't you seen that Merlin and Winky didn't say anything in FGO1.7? They knew that Tim was asleep and what would happen if Gorgon was killed, but they just didn't say anything.
PS2: Does anyone know the reason? Actually, it is very simple.
