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

Chapter 439 The Nature of Heroic Spirits, The Nature of Humanity

“Boudica…” Mashu fell into thought upon hearing the name.

Boudica stood with the muscular man in gray-blue hair and smiled at the group, saying, "If you have anything to say, come in and we'll talk."

"Um... although it may be offensive, please allow me to ask first, Miss Boudica should know that she is a Heroic Spirit, right?" Roman's voice came from the communication device, asking Boudica.

Boudica's eyes instantly dimmed: "Ah, I know perfectly well that I am already dead, as is Mr. Spartacus here."

"It doesn't matter, my life is worthless. Whether in life or in death, I will only fight for the oppressed!" The muscular man revealed a somewhat ferocious smile.

“The most surprising thing is that Miss Boudica is on Rome’s side… although I know that perhaps… I shouldn’t bring this up,” Mashu said hesitantly.

Boudica smiled and said, "It's alright. I just didn't expect to be summoned in this era so soon after my death."

“Although my death was caused by Nero, and I have long ago sworn that I would not forgive Nero and the Roman Empire, but…” she said sadly, “seeing the suffering people on this land, my body has already moved involuntarily.”

"The reason I stand here in this position is not to fight for Rome, but only for the people who are still suffering," Boudica said earnestly. "My class is Rider, and that Mr. Spartacus over there, if I am not mistaken, should be a Berserker."

“You are a very respectable person, Miss Boudica,” Lawrence exclaimed sincerely.

“Let’s also make our purpose clear. Since we are comrades, it’s necessary to share our information with you so that we can cooperate better.” Fujimaru Ritsuka coughed twice.

"We are a team dispatched to this era by Chaldea, the organization dedicated to ensuring the survival of humanity, to correct the errors in human history. The world outside..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained to Boudica the purpose of her group and the current state of the world.

"What cruel oppression, what a miserable world! If we were to encounter it, we must subdue it with our love!" Spartacus said angrily after hearing this.

He was a slave gladiator in ancient Rome before his death, but he sparked a magnificent uprising against oppression. After being elevated to the status of a hero, this fact was engraved into the very bones of Spartacus.

"Such things have actually happened in the outside world... It's terrifying. Who could be so cruel..." Boudica broke out in a cold sweat.

“Therefore, I would like to ask that you two serve as our Servants and lend us a hand.” Fujimaru Ritsuka extended her right hand.

Boudica sighed: "As a Servant who has been promoted, it is my duty."

She reached out one of her hands and touched the back of Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand.

Magical contact, a temporary contract is formed.

“If it is for the purpose of overthrowing oppression, then please allow me to do my part.” Spartacus still seemed to have some sense of reason.

"Please rest today, everyone. You must be quite tired from marching all night. Let's hold a military meeting tomorrow after His Majesty Nero wakes up." Boudica called over two soldiers to help the group set up their tents.

“Well… the Queen of Britannia, for the sake of humanity, chose to stand on Rome’s side…” Mashu scratched her face.

"It feels amazing, doesn't it?" Lawrence smiled and gently stroked Mash's head. "This is what a Heroic Spirit is. A Heroic Spirit's only standpoint is its Master; otherwise, it's humanity."

“I understand.” Mashu nodded slowly.

"Then, I'll leave the perimeter security work to Mr. Samura and Ms. Camilla." Fujimaru Ritsuka was assigning some tasks.

"I'll investigate the first half of the night," Camilla said, and then disappeared.

"Then I'll do it in the middle of the night."

After marching through the night, handing over tasks during the day, and holding a banquet, everyone was quite exhausted.

Now is the time to conserve our energy and recharge.

......

Fujimaru Ritsuka lay on the bed, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Based on a comprehensive consideration of various intelligence sources, it is highly likely that one of the many emperors of the Roman Empire resides in Gaul ahead.

That day, I had the opportunity to glimpse Caligula, one of the emperors of the United Roman Empire. His power was undoubtedly quite formidable, and he possessed that troublesome Noble Phantasm. I wonder who the other emperors of the United Roman Empire were.

The intelligence analysis listed several names, each representing prosperity and power.

Being able to gain new combat power when facing enemy Servants is undoubtedly extremely fortunate.

One by one, the Servants she had contracted flashed through Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.

Mash, Cú Chulainn, Anno, Lawrence, Camilla, Martha...

Everyone is a fighter for humanity and reason.

The terrifying battle with the dragon in Orleans still fills Fujimaru Ritsuka with dread whenever she thinks about it.

There are as many as seven such terrifying singularities.

Even though Fujimaru Ritsuka was absolutely certain that she could make it to the end, she inevitably felt powerless at the second singularity, which was just beginning her journey.

Damn it, why am I thinking about these things again?

Gently biting her lower lip, Fujimaru Ritsuka forced herself to calm down.

The Spirit Origin Portraits have recorded the Spirit Origins of Rider Boudica and Berserker Spartacus. They are not just notebooks, but also proof of the bonds formed with all the companions they have shared along the way.

Miss Boudica is undoubtedly an intellectual queen, but Mr. Spartacus, who is also a heroine who speaks through strength, has not yet fully recognized his group.

No matter what, we cannot let our comrades, with whom we share life and death, down with us.

With these thoughts in mind, Fujimaru Ritsuka drifted off to sleep.

......

Not far away in Gaul.

"So, the enemy's reinforcements have already arrived at that camp outside the city...?" a deep voice said thoughtfully.

He pondered for a while, then let out a long sigh.

"That person's plan is far too wishful thinking; even if I, as a servant, were to remind him, it would be of no use."

"...By tomorrow morning, integrate these troops properly."

"In any case, I am now his follower."

"The fact that the enemy has multiple Servants is quite concerning..."

You are strong, Fujimaru Ritsuka, cheer up.

Chapter 440 Servant Battle with Boudica

the next day.

“Therefore, the prerequisite for fighting side by side is, of course, having matching strength.” Boudica drew her short sword, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a heroic smile. “Although you are now my Master, you still need to prove that you are capable enough to command me.”

Spartacus smiled, his magic surging: "Rebels must be suppressed!"

"Master, what do you think?" Mash had already picked up her shield.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled confidently: "Of course I'll accept the challenge! If I don't, things will get awkward between us!"

"Then, I'll ensure your safety." Lawrence helped the two girls tie their hair up, and walked to the side with a smile.

There are now many soldiers surrounding this area; these kinds of competitions between generals are the soldiers' favorite.

“Miss Camilla and Mr. Samura are resting right now, so... Mashu, Mr. Hijikata, may I ask you for a favor?” Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at Simonetta, whom she was holding by the hand, and said to the two people beside her.

"Yes, please leave it to me, Master!" Mash happily carried the shield into the arena.

"Mr. Hijikata, please don't shoot if you can," Fujimaru Ritsuka instructed.

"Are you afraid of accidentally injuring soldiers? I understand." Hijikata Toshizo took the gun from his waist and placed it in Ritsuka's arms.

Boudica watched as Hijikata Toshizo and Mash entered, with Fujimaru Ritsuka standing not far behind, a confident smile on her face: "Well then—let's begin!"

A glint of blue light flashed in her eyes.

"Hey—" Mash clashed with Spartacus, shield and short sword meeting with a dull thud.

"Shinsengumi—!!!" Hijikata Toshizo roared.

Ping—smack—

"You've got some skill, Japanese warrior!" Boudica smiled, his sword swings quick and precise.

Hijikata Toshizo swung his sword faster than Boudica, but Boudica had more than just a sword in her hand—she also had a shield!

He held the shield in front of him and charged towards Hijikata Toshizo.

But what I sensed was something even more solid—it was Mashu!

wrong--

Boudica's eyes narrowed.

What about that Japanese warrior?

"Attack—!!!" Hijikata Toshizo roared as he thrust his weapon at Boudica.

Ping Pong —

"Spartacus, you've been a great help!"

Hijikata Toshizo struck Spartacus's bracers, but did not cause any real damage.

"Oh my love! My sore spot!" Spartacus felt even more of a berserker than Hijikata Toshizo, and the two instantly became entangled in combat.

"Drink-"

Mash swung the massive shield up and swung it at Boudica.

Boudica jumped up to dodge the attack, but felt it was a bit tricky.

To be able to use such a huge weapon like this, she is truly a powerful young woman.

The swords struck the shield but caused no damage. Instead, Mashu charged at Boudica, causing her to stumble.

However, in the brief moment when Mashu turned to the side, Boudica found an opportunity.

"Take this—!" The short sword stabbed towards Mash's side.

Ping Pong —

Hijikata Toshizo blocked the sword strike directly and kicked Boudica's shield.

“Mr. Spartacus!” Boudica called out.

"Oh! Of course I'm here!" Spartacus quickly appeared behind Boudica, put his hands on Boudica's shoulders, and then shoved her away.
