＠Vlad III
While we have a great many things on our plate at present, we are ultimately faced with three options.
[k]

＠Vlad III
Do we go on the offensive or fortify our defenses? If the former, do we go after the Revenge or Reinstatement Realm?
[k]

＠Vlad III
According to the sum total of the information Sancho's spies have sent us...our best choice would seem to be a strike against the Revenge Realm.
[k]

＠Holmes
Why is that?
[k]

＠Vlad III
You must look at the big picture.
[k]

＠Vlad III
The Reinstatement Realm may have better generals, and there is an excellent chance they will continue to grow in power.
[k]

＠Vlad III
But...
[k]

＠Vlad III
...for better or worse, Kōnstantînos XI is a known quantity.
[k]

＠Vlad III
Think of this Singularity as a game board. He wishes to play by the rules and win it for himself.
[k]

＠Vlad III
The same does not hold true for the Revenge Realm.
[k]

＠Vlad III
They would not think twice about simply overturning the entire board.
[k]

＠Vlad III
And then there are the strange towers, like the one you investigated.
[k]

＠Vlad III
Holmes was right; they are long-range cannons. The locations alone make that quite clear. However...

However?

Or perhaps they plan to use them with something much worse than cannons. I cannot say for sure.
[k]

＠Vlad III
And I suspect Zhang Jue, a Caster aligned with the Revenge Realm, is the one behind this plan.

You are correct. Our only hope of assassinating Zhang Jue is with a small, elite team.

But such an operation will not, on its own, slip past the Revenge Realm's defenses.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]
＠Vlad III
This is why we will also mobilize our entire army and make them think they are under threat of invasion... We could, in fact, mount an actual attack.
[k]

＠Vlad III
And while the other two realms are caught up in the resulting chaos, the assassination team will carry out the mission.
[k]

＠Vlad III
This is why we need to train our army.

It is, in a sense, a small, insignificant action.
[k]

＠
No matter how holy others may consider her...
[k]

＠
...she can't stop herself from wondering if she's deceiving them.

She does believe in God. She does trust His plan.

But perhaps that faith exists only at the surface level.

That doubt has plagued her since she was summoned.

While this no doubt goes without saying, Pope Johanna was not a real person.

Her existence, or lack thereof, was debated for centuries.

And Johanna knows that very well.

She is sure that whenever she was summoned to fight a Holy Grail War (though she has no memory of past summons)...

...she must have fallen deeply into despair.

Now that she's aware of this, she can't help but feel there may be no point praying to God. Or that perhaps she has no right to.
