The Warrior of Love

"That voice, that move, and that indomitable aura... there's no doubt about it, it's him!"

However, before the excited Yu Ji could step forward to recognize him, the Rider summoned by Ritsuka seemed to have noticed her completely and rushed towards the chariots and automatons' defense line as soon as he entered the battlefield.

The mighty spears and halberds swung out fierce wind pressures, easily destroying the steel chariots. The automatic dolls were even more vulnerable, and he quickly cleared a path to the outside.

"Retreat! Second Emperor, Chen Gong, take action!"

Under Ritsuka's command, the two strategists repeated their old tricks and released their treasures again, making the battlefield even more chaotic.

Yu Ji should have taken countermeasures at this time. She had actually thought of a way to break the military advisors' formation before, but at this moment her eyes were fixed on the heroic figure holding a spear and riding a horse. Her heart was extremely panicked. She stood there motionless, watching the Chaldean people about to break through the siege.

"Lord?!"

After leaving the battle, the masked dual swordsman looked at his master in shock and confusion, but Yu Ji said nothing and didn't even offer an explanation.

Next, the master actually went forward alone and broke into the extremely dangerous battlefield!

"Lord!"

The dual swordsman was shocked for a moment, but being born loyal, he didn't care why his master's temperament changed so drastically, and just followed closely.

However, Yu Ji's speed was extremely fast, even faster than many servants. While running, the Chaldean uniform on her body turned into ashes, and the flames turned it into a set of flowing clothes like a dancer.

Ritsuka glanced over here, whispered a few words in his mind, and then ordered the new Rider to open a way for everyone to break out.

Rider had already ravaged the defense line formed by the chariots and automatons several times. After receiving the order, he rode his horse and raised his spear, raising a violent whirlwind in the charge. His momentum became more and more fierce, and his whole body turned into an indestructible spear, and he actually broke through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop!

But at this moment, Yu Ji rushed forward regardless and stretched out her hand towards Rider, the enemy.

"Master Xiang Yu! I finally found you!"

Rider, who was destroying the automatons, turned around in shock when he heard the call. After seeing Yu Ji running over, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise and confusion on his face.

This person is the Xiang Yu mentioned by Yu Ji, and different from the monster-like Kuaiji Zero, this Xiang Yu is a heroic spirit from pan-human history, the real Overlord of Western Chu!

"My beloved wife!"

"Master Xiang Yu!"

Rider also abandoned his enemy, jumped off his horse and rushed towards Yu Ji without hesitation.

The two of them were getting closer and closer, and they could see each other's faces with tears of joy.

"Sorry, I lied to you!"

Xiang Yu suddenly showed an extremely frivolous smile, which made that familiar face look awkward to Yu Ji, and the immortal elf couldn't help but slow down his pace.

Something is wrong!

has a problem!

Although she was overly excited at first, she had lived for so long after all, so Yu Ji soon realized that the crisis was coming.

However, it was too late for her to turn back.

"break!"

The spear stabbed out an invisible energy force, piercing through the girl's body without mercy.

"Eight Stone Soldiers Formation - Xiumen!"

A burst of light lit up under Yu Ji's feet, and the formation that had been set up long ago released light bands like chains, which instantly wrapped around her hands, feet and waist, highlighting her enchanting figure while binding her tightly.

"hateful!"

How could Yu Ji not understand that she had been fooled?

"You want to trap me like this?!"

Although her strength is not at its peak, she still has means of self-preservation (explosion).

The magic power in this irritable beauty's body surged like burning kerosene, and soon reached the brink of explosion -

"Horns!"

Chen Gong waved his hand, and a series of obscure waves descended upon Yu Ji, making the incarnated elf suddenly feel that the magic power in her body had lost control. It no longer compressed or exploded, but instead ran around in panic like a school of frightened fish.

Its intensity was even greater than before, but it had lost its "direction", so it was unable to gather together, restraining and canceling each other out, and was actually useless.

As a result, not only did Yu Ji fail to self-destruct, she also became so angry that she couldn't recover for a long time.

"You, you bastard..."

"Ah, I didn't expect that my Noble Phantasm could be used in this way. It's a lifelong learning experience."

Chen Gong smiled slightly and said something that shocked Yu Ji.

"Akagi Hinako... No, Miss Yuji."

"Yu Ji... why do you know this name? What on earth do you know?!"

"Well, probably a lot more than you think."

Chen Gong glanced at the Imperial Army that was currently engaged in a melee with Chaldea, the double swordsman who had already rushed over but was hesitant to use his weapons, and the "Xiang Yu" next to him who had a frivolous smile.

For a moment, the great military advisor was filled with infinite emotion and a bit of pride, but he soon calmed down and said in a very friendly manner:

"Now, let's sit down and have a good talk."

"talk?"

Yu Ji, who was injured and had difficulty moving, was extremely unhappy and remained rebellious even in adversity.

"Why would I talk to someone like you who uses such despicable means to deal with me?"

"Well, I can't refute this."

Chen Gong touched his chin and pointed to the side: "Don't you want to know where this "Xiang Yu" came from?"

Yu Ji fell silent, looked at the man with gloomy eyes, and frowned.

Although it is certain that it is not the real person, the appearance and the aura he exudes are exactly the same, which is definitely not something that can be achieved by tricks or illusions. What is this...

"Ah, do you want to see my true face?"

The man smiled lightly, and a chaotic black smoke came out of his body. When it dissipated, he was wearing loose clothes that exposed his upper body, and his appearance had changed greatly.

——Yanqing!

The Command Seal that Ritsuka consumed before was not for summoning, but to give him enough magic power to imitate Xiang Yu's fighting posture!

Chapter 966: Azuki Hinako's long-cherished wish

Yan Qing, a servant summoned from "Water Margin", is not a pure heroic spirit, but an existence close to a phantom spirit.

Just like a certain gatekeeper, his basic attributes were not very high, nor did he have any powerful treasures that would leave their names in myths and epics, but he had reached the pinnacle in certain areas, and had honed techniques that could be called divine skills.

Perhaps because there are many records of him disguising himself to collect intelligence in the original work, he has acquired the inherent skill of being able to change into the appearance of other people, and can even imitate their tone, habits, and even combat skills.

In fact, it is very similar to Lancelot's "Not for One's Own Glory", the difference is that he does not need a Command Seal to transform.

Chen Gong, Li Xiang and others have seen Xiang Yu in pan-human history. Even Chaldea stores various data and information about the King of Western Chu. It is no difficulty for Yan Qing to play Xiang Yu. The only flaw is that Yan Qing's ability value is far behind Xiang Yu. Even if their fighting skills are the same, it is difficult for him to show that unique domineering aura.

This was compensated by Ritsuka using the Command Seal.

The short-term release of magic power allowed Yan Qing to perfectly reproduce the heroic demeanor of the King of Western Chu, and also deceived Yu Ji, successfully luring her into the trap set by Chen Gong and the Second Emperor.

In a normal Holy Grail War, victory can basically be declared as long as the enemy Master is killed, but this is the Lostbelt, and Chaldea's goal is not "victory" but "survival", not to mention that Yu Ji is not that easy to kill... So a trap is set up to capture rather than kill.

——The above were all Chen Gong’s ideas. Although they were a bit despicable, they were perfect on the tactical level and accurately grasped Yu Ji’s weaknesses.

"After all, I have been with Mr. Xiang Yu and Miss Yu Ji for a long time, and even once recognized them as the master and assisted the Major General."

Chen Gong smiled proudly and said, "So, I am very familiar with your personalities and styles. It is easy to design a targeted trap for you."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot? I don't remember ever seeing you before."

Yu Ji, who was bound by magic chains, frowned slightly and looked angry, obviously very unconvinced.

The Empire and Chaldea had suspended their fighting and returned to their respective camps. Out of some tacit understanding, they all moved away from the central area.

In the center area are the two Masters, Yu Ji and Ritsuka, and their guards: Jiang Liu and Chen Gong on Chaldea's side, and the Double Swordsman and Kuaiji Zero-Shiki on Yu Ji's side.

Although Yu Ji is now essentially a prisoner, it appears that both parties are negotiating fairly on the scene - Ritsuka has shown the utmost sincerity.

"No, we do know Miss Yuji."

Ritsuka took out Chaldea's communicator, connected it to the headquarters' data center, extracted a piece of information from the records of the singularity and showed it to Yu Ji.

"Perhaps you didn't save your memory. That was in the Great Qin singularity..."

Perhaps she was a little shocked. Yu Ji remained silent for a long time after reading the records. She didn't suspect that Chaldea had lied to her, but she didn't know how to react.

"So what?"

Yu Ji calmed herself down and shook her head.

"Even if they are so-called 'old friends', it doesn't change the fact that we are on different sides now. We have different goals and absolutely cannot understand each other. In this case, no matter what friendship we had in the past, we will eventually have to fight. Besides, I don't like humans..."

"Absolutely no way of understanding each other? Really?"

Ritsuka asked seriously, "Do we have to be enemies? Chaldea's wish is to cut down the fantasy tree, keep the Lostbelt away from pan-human history, and protect our world.

And what is your wish?

Miss Yu Ji, do you want to repay the alien god for saving your life, or do you simply want to destroy the world?

Otherwise, why would you, who also comes from pan-human history, stand on the side of the Lostbelt and fight against us?"

"Repay a favor? Are you kidding me?"

Yu Ji scoffed at this statement: "What life-saving grace? I was not going to die in the first place. This body may be discarded, but I can prove my "existence" again by consuming some magic power. If you hadn't frozen me indiscriminately, I would have escaped from the cabin long ago!"

"Uh……"

“The other members of Group A may have been saved by the alien god, but I have no affection for those mysterious guys with ill intentions, and I will not work for them.

As for humans... I do hate humans, but I would rather stay away from you than destroy you.

Destroying human nature or something like that is such a troublesome thing, whoever wants to do it can do it, I don’t care anyway.”

Jie Hinako, or Yu Ji, looked cold: "I have only acted for my own wishes from the beginning to the end. Now I am joining the First Emperor only because he can realize my long-cherished wish."

"A long-cherished wish? Ha, isn't it just wanting to be reunited with Xiang Yu?" Li Xiang sneered and unceremoniously revealed Yu Ji's deepest thoughts.

Yu Ji was shocked: "How did you——"

"Isn't this easy to guess? If I were you, I would judge you by yourself..."

Li Xiang glanced at Jiang Liu secretly, then turned around and continued, "I will also find a way to meet my lover."

Yu Ji was silent for a moment, then said somewhat unhappily, "Yes, my wish is to be able to reunite with the generals, and the First Emperor has fulfilled my wish. In exchange, I will fight against you for him."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang looked at the Kuaiji Zero Type beside him and asked curiously, "You mean "this"? "

"Uh……"

"Although he is a corresponding individual to Xiang Yu in pan-human history, he is not Xiang Yu. You should be clear about this, right?"

"Uh……"

"No matter how you lie to yourself, if he is not the real one, then he is not the real one. Even if you transform him into a human in the future, he is still not the King of Western Chu!"

"So what?!"

A crimson aura emanated from Yu Ji's body, and in a rage she suddenly stretched out her hand and broke the chains on her body.

"You're meddling too much, junior!"

Chick! Clank!

The atmosphere on the scene froze in an instant, and the servants on both sides gripped their weapons tightly, and the battle was about to break out.

Seeing Yu Ji break free from her restraints, Li Xiang was not surprised, because Chen Gong and the Second Emperor had told her before that for a unique life form like Yu Ji, neither physical restraints nor magical seals were actually very useful. Even Zhuge Wuhou's magic was only effective temporarily at best, and she would break it sooner or later.

However, Ritsuka has verified his guess through the conversation just now, and now he can control Yu Ji without these restraints.

"Do you want to fight? If we really fight to the death, it's still unknown who will win, but you will definitely never see Xiang Yu again."

Chapter 967: The loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty

"Ok?"

Yu Ji was stunned, and the murderous aura in her body gradually subsided.
