...

In the desolate desert, Iskandar's voice boomed, echoing across the barren landscape.

"These are the legendary warriors who, even after their bodies perished and their souls were summoned as 'Heroic Spirits,' still pledge their loyalty to this king!"

"They have answered my call, transcending time and space, my eternal comrades! The bonds forged between us are my greatest treasure, the foundation of my kingship!"

"Behold! This is the Noble Phantasm that Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, takes the greatest pride in - Ionioi Hetairoi! (Army of the King)"

This EX-ranked Anti-Army Noble Phantasm was a Reality Marble, capable of summoning forth his loyal followers.

It was the source of Iskandar's confidence, the reason he believed he could stand against the six other Servants alone.

Among the summoned warriors were renowned military figures, powerful rulers, and even the founding monarchs of later Empires.

This vast army was a testament to Iskandar's legend, a collection of countless heroes and tales of valor.

Several figures among them even surpassed Iskandar in fame.

But beyond their individual renown, they shared a common pride in their origins.

They were the brave warriors who had once charged alongside Iskandar on countless battlefields!

Behind them, a vast army of cavalry, infantry, and shield-bearers marched in perfect formation, their presence filling the Reality Marble with an awe-inspiring spectacle.

Among them, a single riderless horse galloped towards Iskandar.

It was a magnificent steed, both powerful and graceful.

Had it been human, its majesty would have rivaled that of the other Heroic Spirits.

"It's been a while, partner."

Iskandar embraced the horse's neck with a childlike grin.

This was none other than Bucephalus, the legendary steed.

Having followed the King of Conquerors throughout his life, even his horse had ascended to the rank of a Heroic Spirit.

"But I apologize, partner! We cannot fight side-by-side this time."

Iskandar stroked Bucephalus's head gently and chuckled. "In this war that I have instigated, I must give it my all."

Bucephalus nodded slightly in understanding and retreated.

It would not hinder Iskandar's battle here.

Watching his beloved steed disappear, Iskandar turned back to the others and roared with laughter. "Hahaha! Now, my friends, let the battle commence!"

"Rider, why have you brought our Masters into this?!"

Diarmuid shielded Kayneth protectively, his voice filled with accusation as he faced the overwhelming army before them. "Do you intend to eliminate our Masters as well?"

"Of course not, Lancer!" Iskandar responded, his voice booming across the battlefield. "I brought them here to prevent their interference in our duel. It would be a shame if any of us were eliminated due to our Masters' deaths."

"I understand your concerns!"

Iskandar's gaze swept across the assembled Masters: Kayneth behind Diarmuid, Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel von Einzbern behind Artoria, Maiya Hisau behind Kiritsugu, Kariya Matou beside Lancelot, and Mika alongside Merlin.
