In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Nero ignored the fact that the door had been violently pushed open and asked urgently, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"East Gate—the Allied Empire's army is attacking again from the East Gate!" The soldier gasped for breath and reported urgently, "We can't hold them off anymore!"

"What?!" Nero frowned and turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka. "I'm sorry, Governor-General, I originally intended to hold a banquet at the palace to celebrate your arrival, but it seems that the banquet can only be held after we defeat the enemy."

“It’s alright, Your Majesty. Now that I am your governor, it is only right that I should be put to use at this time.” Ritsuka nodded solemnly, then turned around and ordered, “Mr. Samura, Ms. Camilla, please.”

Zuo Cun smiled and nodded, then jumped out of a window. Camilla snorted and vanished in a flash of blood.

"The two Assassins have already headed towards the East Gate. Let's hurry and set off, Master," Mash said solemnly.

"Yes, we can't back down now, Mashu, Miss Lawrence, Miss Simon, let's go!"

......

Although both are assassins, Zuo Cun is clearly faster than Camilla.

People only saw a figure leap out of the palace, land on a rooftop, and then jump again, heading towards the east gate as if flying.

"Look—what's that!"

What kind of bird is it?

"It flew out of the royal palace!"

Zuocun is moving very fast and is almost at the city wall.

He looked down from high above.

This number... it feels like there are at least tens of thousands of people...

Let's accumulate more magic power.

"New Feather Wheel..."

"The Second Wing..."

Zuocun has already started spinning.

This move was terrifying enough in life, and even more so after death, when it was elevated to the status of a Heroic Spirit.

This move—

"This reaction—it must be that Mr. Samura or Ms. Camilla unleashed their Noble Phantasms!" Ritsuka solemnly sensed the loss of magical energy within her body.

Although the Assassin class generally consumes less mana, unleashing a Noble Phantasm still consumes a significant amount of mana.

"It's Mr. Samura! We can already observe Mr. Samura's Noble Phantasm from here!"

"It's the Pheasant Scattering that was mentioned in the intelligence!"

hum-

Zuocun kept spinning without stopping.

Camilla, who had already arrived at the battlefield, had a bead of cold sweat trickling down her temple as she looked at the storm of blades in the sky.

Even if she were a heroic spirit hiding inside the Iron Maiden, she might not be able to withstand a storm of that magnitude.

Isn't this guy a modern-day Heroic Spirit? Why is he so strong?

"The pheasant dispersed."

shhhhh--

The storm, centered on Zuocun, swept towards the ground.

Boom boom boom——————

Upon seeing the seemingly destructive storm, the opposing soldiers all tried to get away.

However, Zuocun has already touched the ground.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh—" The screams of the opposing Roman soldiers echoed through the air.

Not long after, the others also arrived at the battlefield.

"Mr. Samura, can we continue to unleash our Noble Phantasms?" Ritsuka immediately thought of Samura's Noble Phantasms again when she saw such a large number of enemy soldiers.

"I can't unleash all three of my Noble Phantasms consecutively, there's nothing I can do!" Zuocun shouted, continuing to slash at the enemy.

"Then there's no other way, Miss Lawrence, please hold up the magic barrier." Mash charged towards the enemy lines with her shield in hand.

Lawrence closed his eyes and set up his magic array.

Some gem-like particles floated up from all around.

"Zomura, Camilla, Simon, Mash!" Lawrence shouted. "With such a vast magical fortress, even with the Master's magical support, I cannot hold out for long. Repel the enemy as soon as possible!"

"I would have done it even without you telling me!"

"Understood, Sister Harley!"

"Yes, Miss Lawrence!"

"Okay, I'll hold on as long as I can!"

Ritsuka placed her hand on Lawrence's wrist; this fighting style was something the group had already discussed back in Chaldea.

As a doctor-type caster, Lawrence will continuously apply weakened versions of healing magic and weakened versions of buff magic to units that Lawrence identifies as "friendly forces" within his magic field.

This kind of magical field doesn't play a significant role in Servant battles; it only comes into play in large-scale battles where one player has to fight many others. In Servant battles, Lawrence will prepare gem potions.

“Miss Lawrence, please use your second Noble Phantasm on me,” Ritsuka said.

"Okay." Without asking why, Lawrence directly cast [Lens of Love] on Ritsuka.

Ritsuka underwent special training to adapt to Lawrence's second Noble Phantasm while at Chaldea.

This Noble Phantasm is essentially a weakened version of Clairvoyance that can be applied to others. If used correctly, it can be extremely effective, so there's no need to leave it idle.

Ritsuka, now possessing exceptional eyesight, looked out over the battlefield, observing the soldiers.

"Any discoveries, Master?" A bead of cold sweat trickled down Lawrence's temple. Maintaining his second Noble Phantasm while simultaneously opening up the magic array was indeed a bit of a strain.

“You can deactivate the second Noble Phantasm now. Thank you, Miss Lawrence.” Ritsuka rubbed her eyes with her free hand. “After observing, I noticed that the enemy Roman soldiers are behaving strangely.”

"strangeness?"

“Yes, I’ve confirmed that after observation.” Ritsuka nodded. “These Roman soldiers don’t seem to have any particularly obvious mental state. His Majesty Nero also said that these soldiers appeared out of nowhere.”

"So that's how it is... No wonder they fought so fiercely and fearlessly..."

Chapter 434 The Fierce Battle at the East Gate

"What should we do, Master? Should I unleash my Noble Phantasm? These soldiers should feel like they've been hit in the head and faint under the influence of my Noble Phantasm," Lawrence asked Fujimaru Ritsuka for her opinion.

Ritsuka thought for a moment and said, "No, it's not necessary. Miss Lawrence, you should use your Noble Phantasm where it's more needed. After all, while your Noble Phantasm is powerful, its negative effects are also very significant."

“However, if we fight like this, unless Samurai can launch a large-scale attack, or even use Command Spells to unleash his Noble Phantasm, we might not be able to repel all of these enemy forces even by tomorrow morning.” Lawrence frowned and sighed. “I’m worried that your stamina and mana won’t be able to keep up.”

"I'm fine. Since all we can see with the naked eye are ordinary soldiers and no Servants have been detected, then Miss Lawrence, please don't unleash your Noble Phantasm."

“…I respect your opinion.” Lawrence nodded helplessly.

An hour later, the sky had turned a distinctly yellowish hue, and Lawrence's magic had run out.

As the magic array dissipated, Lawrence took a couple of breaths to ease his fatigue.

Lawrence's total magical power was astonishing, but even it couldn't withstand such consumption.

"Miss Lawrence, please take a short rest."

Lawrence nodded.

Currently, among the Servants we possess, none besides Samura can effectively strike groups of enemies, but Samura's Noble Phantasm cannot be continuously unleashed.

Now that Lawrence's magic has run out, what follows is a battle of stamina.

Lawrence used his last bit of magic to condense a few gems and entered the battlefield.

After all, they are just ordinary people, so it is still very difficult for them to cause damage to a Servant-level combat power.

Even so, the group was exhausted from the fight.

Camilla's hand ached from waving her scepter so much: "Are these guys really human? Or are people from the era of hand-to-hand combat just so energetic?"

Simonetta is definitely the one who has killed the most enemies besides Zuocun. Simonetta is a completely different person when he enters combat mode.

Zuo Cun didn't speak; his stamina was unlike that of an assassin.

They fought the enemy using only their physical strength for several hours, until it was quite dark before these frenzied enemies were finally driven back.

"Enemy retreat observed... Master, the battle should be over." Mash propped her shield up on the ground and leaned against it to rest for a moment.

Camilla used her scepter as a cane, propping herself up on the ground, while Simonetta was already asleep on Lawrence's back.

Zuocun, on the other hand, didn't seem to feel anything.

He sheathed the pheasant feather and walked over to Lawrence. "You must be very tired. Why don't you let me carry this little berserker?"

“No need, her name is Simonetta.” Lawrence smiled wearily, declining Zuocun’s suggestion.

"Master, are you alright?" Mash asked, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was kneeling on one knee.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is different from them. She is a pure human, and even with the Mystic Code made by Lawrence on her body, her physical strength is absolutely no match for that of the Servants.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka stayed by their side and fought until the battle ended.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master." Zuo Cun looked at his Master with newfound respect.

He was the last to join the team and knew relatively little about Fujimaru Ritsuka. So far, he only knew that Ritsuka was the last surviving human Master and that she was from his hometown.

But now, he has some respect for his Master.

"Can you still stand up?" He squatted down and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's hair, which was wet with sweat.

"Thank you, Mr. Samura, Mashu." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up, smiled, and stood up. "I'm just a little tired, nothing serious."

"That's good. If Ritsuka had any problems, my heart probably would have stopped beating." Dr. Roman's voice came through. "Everyone is exhausted now, so let's go back and rest. Thank you all for your hard work."

"Yes, we should cherish the time we have to rest now, since we can't rule out the possibility that the enemy might launch another attack late at night. Miss Lawrence, Miss Camilla, Mr. Samura and Mashu, let's go back first."

"it is good."
