The first 200 lines.
Lancer, Vlad III.
A hero who once protected Romania from the onslaught of the Ottomans.
In 1462, leading a force of a mere ten thousand,
he successfully repelled the attack of a one hundred and fifty thousand strong Ottoman army.
Mehmed II, the military genius who conquered Constantinople.
Even he shuddered in fear in the face of Vlad's cruelty.
"I fear no man. But demons are different," said Mehmed II according to records.
In Romania, Vlad III is extremely famous.
People's respect increases the Servant's power.
Furthermore, this land is his domain.
Within his territory, he is nigh undefeatable.
Even against Rider of Red, Lancer's victory is assured.
Not to mention I have a trump card in my hand.

I beseech you, Apollon and Artemis, bless this bow and these arrows.
I devote this calamity to you!
Phoebus Catastrophe!
I cleared the rabble from the path.
It's your turn, Rider!
It's on!
The Rider of Red takes the frontline!
Let's start this battle!
You're no match for me!
Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Look at that now, Father Shiro.
What is that grave face for?
You have a show to behold.
A vision.
Ruler is headed this way.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Visions also guide her in this Grail War.
It comes down to how we interpret and act on them.
That will be the key to the fight between her and me.
You barbarians dared tarnish my land with your filth-ridden feet.
It is time for your punishment.
Taste the blazing stakes of my compassion and wrath!
Despair, for this sea of stakes has no end but is truly infinite!
Your blood will be your only drink!
Kazikli Bey!
So they come.
I believe you are Lancer of Black, Vlad III.
You call me by my true name. You must be Lancer of Red.
There is a reason I must kill you. Bear me no grudge.
No need for such things.
You must kill me, and I must kill you.
Lancer!
You nefarious minions intruded into my homeland.
Face your punishment!
Destroying them is pointless.
What a wonderful armor.
However...
Lancer!
...at this range it is meaningless.
It appears you are no mere hero.
Do you surrender?
Your words are unfit even for a jest, Lancer of Red.
With my eyes set on the Grail, surrender is out of question.
You, on the other hand, descending like a god in that armor, surrounded by flames,
will run out of magical energy sooner or later.
You are the ones who should surrender here!
You are invaders on my land!
I will show no mercy!
It's started already?
What's wrong? Is this all you can do, Yggdmillennia?!
Show me your power, Servants of Black!
Stop my chariot if you can!
Out of my way, trash.
How about this, then?
Amazing! You can use golems like that?
His golems can stand against legendary heroes!
Know your place!
Fantastic!
Show yourself, Archer of Black!
I'm here to pick up where we left off!
Tonight we get to fight to the death!
Where are you, Archer of Black?
Closer than you'd think.
You bastard!
You're taunting me.
You take me lightly.
In the name of my father, my mother and my dear friend,
you won't get to see my back!
Don't expect the same to work again and again.
I'll head to you now!
Found you.
Your head is mine!
What?!
That's right. That's your weakness.
You?
Achilles, pay attention to what I'm about to say.
Of course.
Your father left you in my care, and in these nine years
I have taught you of war, of science and of art.
Yeah! Thanks to you, I can shoot down the birds of the sky
and run even faster than my father.
Indeed.
You absorbed my teaching well, so now you are a genius on par with Heracles or Castor.
All thanks to your tutelage!
However, before you return to the realm of humans,
there is one last thing I need to tell you.
It's about your heel.
My heel?
Your mother, the sea goddess Tethis, tried to grant you the immortality of gods.
She tempered your body with sacred flames.
However, your father Peleus wished for you to have mortal aspects.
Your heels were not touched by the flames.
Remember that.
You are a hero immortal as the gods, or very close to that.
Your heels, however, are mortal still.
Archer of Black...
Why you?
A foolish question.
I was summoned as Archer of Black, and you as Rider of Red.
We both had lingering wishes.
You're too soft.
Just as you were in life.
When you face those you consider enemies, you assault them without fear,
but if you see someone you consider a friend, someone you approve of,
you are so hopelessly soft.
This is the Great Holy Grail War.
There is no room for pity here.
Not even for you, a so-called immortal hero.
