"Loki's children... Wait, are you referring to Fenrir or whatever that thing's name was?" the Enforcer asked as he weaved through the undead in front of him, lopping off their heads with quick, clean cuts as he arrived at the newly-replaced gates of the town. "Ah, not even a day into the job and we're already talking about apocalyptic enemies..."

With a bit of a sigh, Keisuke moved to help Siegfried inside the town's walls as the onslaught of undead continued on. To say this wasn't just the slightest bit absurd would be a lie, but given what was to come, it would probably be the least of his worries in the near future.

"But even so... No clues on the Noble Phantasm? That does make it hard to prepare anything as a direct counter... Hm. It does seem likely that we'll simply have to catch that Servant off guard and simply push through with brute force, then. How unpleasant."

At this, Keisuke turned towards Siegfried, then up at the sky.

"These battles usually last until morning, correct? How much longer will the night last?" Keisuke asked, crossing his arms as he looked at the Saber. "Beyond that, how long do you believe it will be until you are combat-ready?"

Siegfried paused for a moment, staring at the sky in turn as the faintest of light could be seen shining over the horizon.

"It shouldn't last much longer than this, at least; the dawn is more or less upon us already, and those healing restoratives that Caster has prepared combined with my natural regeneration means that I should be able to fight again come nightfall."

Just as the morning sun began to rise over the horizon, Tomoe began to notice that the number of undead rising from the earth was gradually diminishing. It truly did seem like this was a matter of staving off the horde until night passed, a matter made quite simple by the reinforcement of Elizabeth's Noble Phantasm. Though she knew not of what Nero was planning for the moment, the Archer refused to let up the assault for even a moment as she continued to bring down undead after stray undead. Saber could deal with protecting Caster as she did... Whatever it was that she was doing with the lightning, after all, so it would be left to her to eliminate any stragglers once it was done.

And done it was, as the sudden barrage of lightning strikes from the skies above rained down like a god's wrath made manifest. It was a bit of a terrifying sight, in a way, but knowing that such strength was on their side was a comfort all it's own.

As the sun finally began to rise over the landscape, it would be clear to those defending the town walls that the undead were now naught but stragglers futilely attempting to attack the near-impervious reinforced walls surrounding the town.

Their job, it seemed, was done, and so Tomoe calmly launched herself over the ramparts and onto the ground in front of Siegfried, Keisuke, and the guards from earlier (along with a few people who had woken to see what the commotion—and the new walls—were all about).

"Master, the enemy has been routed," she stated curtly, bowing as Siegfried nodded and shook her hand. Of course, when the others arrived inside, they would be met with applause, however uneasy.

After all, Siegfried had been their savior until now, and it would be rude to disparage the ones who saved him (and themselves), but even so...

"What strange clothes!" one young girl pointed out, clutching onto her mother's skirt as she pointed at the group. Keisuke held back a slight grimace and instead forced himself to smile as Siegfried walked forward amidst the nervous chuckling of the townsfolk.

"These men and women helped us out last night, and I would not be here if not for their timely arrival," he stated simply, motioning towards the ground before smiling. The Saber quickly turned towards Keisuke, as if expecting a followup, and it took a few moments for the Enforcer to read the situation and step forward to speak himself.

"We mean no harm, and shall only be here for a day, at most. Think of us only as travelers, please," he stated as an old man walked forwards from the crowd.

"I am the leader of this town, Adalbert Larsen. Of course, Lord Siegfried's allies are our own. Please, if you have any needs, do not hesitate to ask for assistance," he stated, slowly making his way forward to be made known by the party in question.

"Of course, Mr. Larsen," Keisuke responded, bowing deeply in response before turning to the rest of the Servants behind him. "I think I'll be going around gathering information as best I can today, then. The rest of you are free to wander about as you please. Maybe the townspeople might take a shine to you."

Tomoe nodded in agreement before turning towards the other Servants and thinking to herself for a moment.

"Hm... Siegfried is likely to be guarding our Master, and he has Command Seals to call us if he needs aid... I believe that it would be the best if we split up to talk with the townsfolk as well. In any case, I shall be off, then," she stated before walking towards the dispersing crowd of people.

After all, the day was young, and they still had work to prepare and lives to live.
