That man still found ways to mess with him, even after almost getting himself out of Xerxes hair forever. How useful it might have been otherwise. But it seemed events had leapt forward, and then steamrolled ahead. In fact, this bad feeling only piled on. Was it another master? Was it that strange red headed servants? Or was it something else? Before he could speak up, another servant had arrived. One he hadn't seen until now. One with a warning. [i]"An enemy army is approaching. We all must band together if you are to fight the monsters I have seen."[/i] [color=fff79a]"All servants, form a line."[/color] Xerxes ordered to those able. [color=fff79a]"All masters, retreat to the Einzbern's location."[/color] Xerxes looked into the distance, eyes narrowing off into the distance. The church was the safest place he could imagine, but at the moment, that would be impossible. After all, the enemy lay between him and that location. He had only brought a few cases of the Haoma with him, and if things escalated, he may need it all. [color=fff79a]"Tesla, you hold the line wherever you are. I'm sending Berserker to your side to aid you."[/color] He said, directing it to the bird. No doubt it would fly back and carry that message for him. There seemed to be more than enough servants at the moment to hold whatever line was needed here, while the masters retreated to the forest. The hotsprings were too open to make a good stronghold if things went south. [i]'Berserker! My order is this. Look for Tesla. You are to back him up and follow any orders he gives. Do you understand? Return to the Hotsprings.'[/i] Xerxes kept this message short, and focused his attention otherwise. [color=fff79a]"Miss Einzbern, the bounded fields are all breaking down, and the leylines are free. We should make it our first move to secure them, and focus that magical energy into our servants. If this is a siege, we shall need to be unbreakable."[/color] When possible he would need to make a break for the church. Re-secure his hold there, and focus the weapons there upon this enemy. Xerxes decided to lead the back of the retreating masters. Not because he wasn't interested in his own life. But if they were attacked, he still had his ace in the hole to cause a distraction on any chasing enemies. [color=fff79a]"Now, MOVE!"[/color]
