The Warrior of Love

And in the one thousand years of unification war and the two thousand years of imperial history, the number of heroes and heroes recruited by the First Emperor was definitely far more than this number!

If we ignore extraneous characters like Jiang Liu and Tima, if we want to defeat the empire head-on, even moving the entire Chaldea here might not be enough!

What is urgent right now is not to defeat a certain servant, or even to defeat Akure Hinako, but to escape from the battle quickly to avoid being surrounded by the Empire's superior forces.

"Eight formations of stone soldiers!"

The Second once again released his treasure, but this time the range was completely different from before. The falling stone pillars actually surrounded the entire forest, showing his true strength.

"Master, the situation is critical now, let's retreat for now!"

At the same time, Chen Gong also took out an exquisite short bow and put an arrow on it.

"Master, the situation is critical now. Please choose a Servant to self-destruct!"

Ritsuka: “…”

The black-haired girl looked at the bow and arrow in Chen Gong's hand, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Of course she knew what Chen Gong meant by self-destruction, after all, she had seen it before in the singularity.

Chen Gong's treasure "Horn Wave" looks like a light cannon, but in fact the sound and light effects are all illusions created to fool people.

The true ability of his Noble Phantasm is to bless a certain Servant, allowing its magic output to break through the limit and cause great damage to the enemy...but the chosen Servant will not feel good.

Strictly speaking, it's terrible...

However, as a Master who has gone through so many trials, Ritsuka still has the necessary awareness.

"Just choose the dark berserker!"

The black-haired girl said without any psychological pressure: "Don't be afraid, he won't die!"

Chapter 964: Gongtai’s clever plan

"No matter what, we must go to the imperial capital. Otherwise, we won't be able to communicate with the First Emperor face to face."

In a forest, everyone, who looked a little tired after a great battle, found a place to sit around the campfire.

"Besides, Akagi Hinako will definitely find ways to stop us... If we don't defeat her, our plan will not succeed.

Although we are temporarily safe now, we have only retreated safely under the cover of the two military advisors, and we need to use illusions to cover our tracks... This won’t work, we have to find a breakthrough. "

"There's no good way."

Yan Qing fiddled with her long hair and said nonchalantly, "In a normal battle, we have no advantage in combat power. If you want to assassinate us, and you say that the master is immortal, then we have no choice but to wait for death, right?"

"agree."

“This is not easy to do…”

"Well, there are ways to temporarily improve combat effectiveness."

Chen Gong smiled proudly and said, "For example, my treasure."

"Yes, Gongtai's treasure is still very powerful." Ritsuka nodded in agreement, "Although it requires certain sacrifices, in order to save the great cause of human reason, we must be aware of it."

"So, Ritsuka, you chose me to self-destruct in order to save Renri?" Jiang Liu, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, said faintly.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. In fact, I feel bad too." Lixiang nodded, but didn't look at Jiang Liu's expression.

"This……"

Mashu looked around, not knowing what to do with the awkward atmosphere.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, Mr. Jiang——the power that Berserker unleashed was truly amazing. He defeated the enemy in an instant."

"That's right. Only a strong man like Berserker can unleash such a powerful force. I chose you because I trust you, Berserker!"

"Uh..." Jiang Liu's eyes twitched slightly. He wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh and a helpless bitter smile.

At that time, when Chen Gong released the treasure on him, it indeed produced extremely outstanding effects.

Jiang Liu's magic power went into a runaway state, and the magic power he released was comparable to an anti-military weapon. He also gained a significant improvement in all his attributes. He easily suppressed Xiang Yu, and then restrained Zhang Jue, Spartacus and others.

Finally, under the cover of the Second Generation's formation and Chen Gong's illusion, everyone successfully retreated, and Jiang Liu also left the battle and returned to the Chaldean team.

To be honest, Chen Gong's treasure didn't actually bring any burden to Jiang Liu.

After all, what he is using now is just the "shell" created by the gods for humans, and the magic power he can mobilize is just a drop in the bucket compared to his heyday. The so-called "magic rampage" is like a drop of water trying to burst a water tank - it is not realistic.

With his tough body, the burden caused by the runaway magic power can be ignored.

If Jiang Liu wanted to, he could control this small amount of runaway magic power at any time, but this would just be a "natural" way for him to repel Yu Ji and the others, so he just let it go.

From a rational point of view, Ritsuka's choice is undoubtedly correct. After all, apart from Jiang Liu, no matter who he chooses, it will cause great harm to the opponent, and ordinary servants will find it difficult to restrain Xiang Yu and others even if they go berserk.

And Jiang Liu...

"You're so strong anyway, you'll be fine."

No, something's wrong! It's not my body, it's my fragile heart that's been hurt!

Why can my sister, who has always been so caring, sacrifice me now without batting an eyelid?

Could it be that one?

After growing from a girl to a woman, has your inner "gentleness" become less?

"If we are just hurrying on the road, my illusion can still be of some use, but if it is a battle... "Horn Formation" is only an emergency measure after all. If we cannot defeat the opponent in one go, then we are powerless."

Chen Gong shook his head: "We still need to find a more appropriate solution."

"Be more careful... summon servants from Chaldea?" This was the only way Ritsuka could think of to increase combat power.

The most intuitive way to measure the increase or decrease of combat power is the number of servants, right?

Although the First Emperor's "Great Wall" attracted heroes from all over the world, the rise of the Qin Empire led to the distortion of history, and many heroes who should have been born were not born. After the empire unified the world, the probability of outstanding figures appearing dropped greatly.

By this calculation, the First Emperor's fighting power mainly came from the enemies he encountered and the ministers he conquered during the period from the establishment of the Qin Empire to the unification of the world by the empire.

That is the period from 100 BC to around 1000 AD.

In other words, he does not have many heroes from the Age of Gods under his command, and the number is far less than that of pan-human history.

The number of Chaldea's servants may not be as great as the Empire's thousand-year accumulation, but their quality is not bad at all. There are a lot of servants from the Age of Gods, and even extraordinary ones like Gilgamesh and Scathach.

If the two sides really go to war, Chaldea will not be at a disadvantage...but the problem is that the Lostbelt is the home ground of the First Emperor, and Ritsuka simply does not have the magic power to supply so many servants for battle - maintaining four servants is her limit now.

Jiang Liu does have enough magic power... but if he can attack recklessly, there's no need to think beforehand, just go for it!

“It’s not like there is no solution.”

While everyone was thinking hard, Chen Gong suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"I have an idea. Although it cannot increase the number of servants, it can defeat Akagi Hinako... Miss Yuji."

"Huh?" Ritsuka was startled, "How do I do that?"

"We are thinking in the wrong direction. There is more to victory than just annihilating all enemies. As long as we can capture and kill the enemy's leader, it will be like grasping the weak point of a snake, and victory will naturally be achieved.

Although the power of the empire is overwhelming, Yu Ji does not represent the empire, and her servants are not inseparable from her. "

The Second frowned thoughtfully, "Are you planning to separate the enemy's Master from her Servant, and then concentrate your firepower to take down the Master?"

"Exactly."

"But how do you separate them?"

The Second asked bluntly: "From the battle the day before yesterday, Ake Hinako is not a reckless person who advocates chivalry and likes one-on-one duels. On the contrary, she is very cautious."

"Well...haha, the mountain man has his own clever plan."

Chen Gong turned his gaze and looked at a man who was counting his hair out of boredom.

"I am 70% to 80% sure about this matter. That woman will definitely take the bait...it's just a little despicable."

Chapter 965: The Easy-to-Cheat Senior Akagi Hinako (Additional Chapter 1)

"Master Xiang Yu, there are traces of the enemy two hundred miles to the southeast."

On a high ground somewhere, Akagi Hinako, who had just received the message, closed the data terminal and said to the tall monster beside her.

"According to the description, they should be those people from Chaldea... We finally caught them! I didn't expect that in just two days, they not only escaped our pursuit, but also ran to a place so far away from the predicted location. Fortunately, our intelligence network is strong enough."

Kuaiji Zero: "Hmm..."

The centaur-shaped war machine said nothing, but nodded silently.

Jie Hinako——Yu Ji pursed her lips, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Although she knew that this thing was not the Overlord of Western Chu in the pan-human history she knew, but was just the "Kuaiji Type 0", she still could not treat it as a simple weapon. When they were with it, she would subconsciously talk to it, and even the tone of voice was the same as it was two thousand years ago...

Putting aside this helpless topic, the Chaldean team appeared again this time, but was discovered by the local farming corps.

After the empire unified the world, there was naturally no need to maintain such a large field army, so most of them were transformed into farming troops, which was actually just distributing land to retired soldiers and speeding up the resumption of production.

The small number of truly elite troops were the imperial guards directly under the First Emperor himself. They had combat effectiveness and mobility beyond their time and could reach any location in the world within seven days. Any rebellion would be quelled immediately.

Of course, after a thousand years of stable development, soldiers have gradually been replaced by combat dolls and those tiger-head tanks (the more the better) we saw a few days ago.

Chaldea encountered combat puppets and tanks patrolling a certain place, and had a brief conflict with them. After destroying some tanks, they quickly retreated, obviously fearing that they would be surrounded by the enemy if they could not retreat in time.

——Yuji thought she had guessed what Ritsuka and the others were thinking, so she was full of confidence.

"They can't run away. I have applied for temporary use of the 'Huan Tian Motion Sphere'. It would have been fine if these guys had been hiding their true colors, but now that they have revealed their true colors, there is no reason for me to let them go!"

By the way, in addition to the military farms and the imperial guards, the empire’s main military force was the ultimate defense system that the First Emperor spent a thousand years to slowly complete - the "Great Wall".

It is a super-large fortress group suspended in outer space, rotating around the geosynchronous satellite orbit. It not only has multiple anti-city-level firepower, but also has destructive weapons that can annihilate an entire country and can be called a punishment from heaven. Its main responsibility is to defend against threats that may come from the depths of the universe.

The "Afang Palace" where the First Emperor kept the heroic body is also within the "Great Wall" system.

With such a powerful military force, coupled with the technological crystallizations that are ahead of their time such as the "Huan Tian Dong Yi" and the "Jiu Zhang", Yu Ji's side surpasses Chaldea in terms of intelligence, combat power and mobility. No wonder she is so confident.

"As long as Chaldea is dealt with, everything will be over." Yu Ji couldn't help but look at the stunned Kuaiji Zero again.

She had no personal grudge against Chaldea, but the First Emperor had once promised to give her this war machine after defeating Chaldea.

——To be honest, she didn't know if there was any point in doing this, but she had no other choice.

"Ugh……"

After calming down, Yu Ji summoned several of her generals, including Zhang Jue, Red Hare and others, and drove the Duo Duo Yi Shan chariot to the scene of the incident. She used the "Nine Chapters" to calculate the enemy's escape route, and finally blocked Chaldea after a day and night of pursuit.

"Drink!"

"hateful!"

"Look at my flaming spear!"

As soon as they came into contact, an extremely fierce melee broke out between the two sides. This was not the first time for the servants to fight each other, and it could be said that they showed their true skills from the beginning.

But the gap between them is not that big. No matter whether they are the servants coming from the Throne of Heroes or the heroes who pacified the troubled times in the Lostbelt, they all have refined martial arts and powerful strength, and it is impossible to tell the winner in a short period of time.

However, this time Yu Ji also brought as many as thirty chariots, as well as countless automatic dolls.

A type of robot that replaced ordinary soldiers surrounded the Chaldeans to prevent them from breaking out like last time.

Ritsuka, who was trapped by the Imperial Army, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He glanced at each battle group one by one. He knew that it would be difficult to win with his own strength, but if it dragged on, he would easily be consumed to death by the growing army. Then he made up his mind secretly.

"There's no other way. It's time to play my last trump card—"

The black-haired girl displayed her Command Seal, and the light flashed and disappeared.

"Come out, Rider!"

As the voice screamed, the magic light gathered and vaguely formed a strange outline.

Used the Command Spell?

Was a new Servant summoned from somewhere?

Yu Ji's eyes narrowed, but she was not panicked. The current situation could not be reversed by just one Servant. Even if it was a top-level combat force, she had a way to deal with it.

"break!"

With a deep and powerful shout, Rider, who was riding on a warhorse, brandished his lance and used the momentum of his charge to swing it heavily at the iron chariot in front of him.

The invisible wind pressure was compressed into a translucent sharp blade, which swept across the battlefield in an instant, not only cutting through the chariot blocking its way, but also blowing dozens of automatic dolls aside, clearing a piece of open space in an instant.

"That is!"

Yu Ji suddenly opened her eyes wide, her pretty face froze at this moment, and her body began to tremble slightly.
