A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

Under the combined attack from within and without the Astrea Familia Alliance, the members of the Dark Faction within the stronghold were all slaughtered.

"~We won!"

"We won!"

A young adventurer excitedly raised his longsword and cheered.

The joy of surviving the ordeal spread rapidly among the crowd.

Alexie leaned against the wall, panting heavily. The flames of [Red Flower Threads] gradually died down, and a feeling of exhaustion washed over her.

Although the process was full of twists and turns, the result was good.

Lynn's plan succeeded.

"Don't let your guard down!" Shakti's deep voice rang out as she warily surveyed her surroundings. "Clean up the battlefield, count the wounded, and remain vigilant!" (53 Reading Club)

As an experienced commander, she knew very well that the most dangerous moment in a battle was often the moment when victory was in sight.

However, the mutation still occurred.

"Boom!"

A series of muffled, thunderous footsteps came from all directions of the sewers.

That wasn't a few dozen people, nor a few hundred.

Those were the sounds of thousands upon thousands of footsteps! Dense and heavy.

What was that sound?

The adventurers' smiles froze, and they looked around anxiously.

The scout on guard emerged from the darkness, his face deathly pale.

"Commander! Something's happened! Delete it!"

"Enemies are everywhere... in all directions! Their numbers... they're countless!"

212. It's not over yet.

Before the words were finished, a dense cluster of red lights appeared at the end of the deep pipe ahead.

Those were countless eyes shining in the darkness, filled with greed and bloodlust.

Immediately afterwards, taxi soldiers dressed in uniform armor and wielding spears and shields surged out of the pipes like a tidal wave!

Their armor was uniformly branded with a roaring war boar.

"It's...it's the Ares Familia!"

Someone let out a desperate scream.

The kin of Ares, the god of war who revels in war and crushes everything with sheer numbers! Why are they here?

"Not just in front!"

"Behind us! Our exit at the back is blocked too!"

"And above! They dug new holes in the ground!"

Terrified cries rose and fell.

The inescapable net they had just used to surround the enemy had now become a prison trapping themselves.

"Shield Wall! Quick! Form the Shield Wall!"

Shakti let out a hoarse roar, and the warriors of the Ganesha Familia reacted immediately, using their proud giant shields to barely construct a defensive line of 693 in the narrow passage.

But Ares's family has too many taxi soldiers.

They were like fearless ants, wave after wave, frantically assaulting the shield wall, thrusting spears through the gaps in the shield, and ramming their bodies against the steel defenses.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The ear-piercing sound of metal colliding was incessant, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Hold on! Hold on, all of you!"

A Ganesha warrior roared, bracing his shield with his shoulder, his arm pierced by a spear, bleeding profusely, yet he did not retreat an inch.

Alexandra's face turned deathly pale.

She finally understood where the unease in the final link of Lynn's plan came from.

Their plan was based on the premise that the enemy's forces were limited.

But now, a massive clan, large enough to start a national war, has joined the battle.

Their attempt to "counter-encircle" turned into a joke.

……

"Flanking! Enemies in the waterway!" Kaguya's sharp shout came from the "53 Reading Club."

Dozens of dark figures suddenly emerged from the murky sewage.

They were agile, their curved blades tracing deadly arcs in the dim light as they charged straight at the healers and support troops on the flanks and rear of the defensive line.

“They’re scum of the Kali Familia!” Shakti recognized them at a glance.

These creatures are like water ghosts, silent and stealthy, specializing in attacking the weakest points in the defenses.

"Lyra! Niz! Protect the back row!" Alexandra shouted urgently.

Lyra's small bombs and Niz's claws barely managed to hold off the first wave of attacks.

But more enemies poured out of the waterways, further compressing the battle lines and causing casualties.

An archer of the Artemis Familia has just shot and killed a soldier of the Ares Chariot.

Before he could even change to a new arrow, a Kali clan warrior appeared from behind and slit his throat with a single stroke.

Blood gushed out, he clutched his neck, his eyes filled with resentment and confusion, and slowly collapsed.

"No!" Letsa cried out in anguish, drawing her longbow to its fullest extent.

The arrow, imbued with moonlight, shot out instantly, pinning the attacker to the wall.

But such a counterattack appears so pale and powerless in the face of an endless array of enemies.

Panic, like a plague, spread among the coalition forces.

They were divided, surrounded, and slowly devoured.

Enemies were everywhere, and every breath was filled with the stench of blood.

"【Red Flowers in Full Bloom】!"

Alexie forced herself to calm down, the flames once again engulfing the sword, she knew she couldn't act rashly.

She was one of the commanders on site, and if she lost control, the entire team would be finished.

She charged to the flank, her "Crimson Order" igniting a burst of fire that temporarily repelled the Kali Familia's attack.

But just as she regained her footing on the flank, a loud bang came from the shield wall in front of her.

Boom!

A shield warrior of the Ganesha Familia was blasted away by a tremendous force, shield and all.

He spat out a mouthful of blood mist in the air, which slammed heavily into the crowd behind him.

A gap has appeared in the shield wall.

"Roar!"

A massive minotaur, wielding a huge battle axe.

It squeezed in through the gap; its eyes were bloodshot, clearly a monster kept by the dark faction.

"Don't let it in!" Shakti roared, personally charging forward, his giant axe clashing violently with the minotaur's battle axe.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Shakti was so shaken that he staggered back several steps, his hand split open and bleeding profusely.

More Ares soldiers poured in through the breach.

The defense line is crumbling step by step.

Alexie's heart sank little by little to the bottom.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Lynn...you bastard!!!

You've dragged us all into hell!

As she watched her companions fall one by one, as those familiar faces were covered in despair and pain, a heart-wrenching pain and boundless regret completely overwhelmed her.

In the instant she lost her composure, a cold, sharp blade flashed silently from the shadows beside her, aiming straight for her heart.

He's an assassin from the Dark Faction!

"careful!"

Ryu's figure appeared in front of Alisha like a ghost, his two swords crossed, precisely blocking the fatal blow.

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of impact pulled Alexandra back from the brink of collapse.

She looked at Liu, who was standing in front of her. Liu's usually calm face was now filled with solemnity.

"Alicie, it's not over yet." Ryu's voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable power.

"We haven't lost yet."

213. This poison is quite potent.

Alexie bit her tongue hard, the intense pain bringing a sliver of clarity back to her mind.

That's right, it's not over yet.

As long as she's standing, the battle isn't over!

She gripped the sword tightly again, a death-defying will burning in her eyes.

However, the next second, an even deeper and more chilling roar came from above them.

Boom!

The entire underground cavern shook violently, and countless huge rocks crashed down from the top.

A massive war machine, made of steel and magic stone, crashed through the ground and appeared in everyone's sight.

Those are Ares's siege chariots!

The dark muzzle began to gather a suffocating magical light.

Slowly, it aimed at the Allied temporary command post where Alexandra was located.

"Scatter! Scatter now!"

Alexie's pupils suddenly contracted, and she let out a desperate scream.

But it was all too late.

The cannons of the siege chariots were shining brightly.

hum-

A thick, dark red beam of magical energy, powerful enough to distort the air, shot out with an aura of annihilation!

Rumble! ...

An indescribable roar drowned out all other sounds.

Alexandra felt as if she had been slammed into by an unparalleled giant wave.

The whole world was spinning, and all I could hear was the sharp buzzing of bees.

Her hastily erected fire shield was as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of that magical beam, and it was torn apart in an instant.

The shockwave threw her away, her back slamming heavily against the hard rock wall. A sweet taste rose in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
