The Warrior of Love

She was not afraid. After all, although she was "powerless", she was also the savior who faced Tiamat and Goetia. She had already experienced what true despair felt like. Not to mention that compared to that time, Chaldea was now more confident.

Many of the things she thought about while she was daydreaming were actually what she would be like when she "retired and returned home" after the successful salvation of humanity.

The parents of the Toyama family, Soichiro and Tokiko, now know about her and Jiang Liu. No matter how much struggle they have gone through, they finally gave their approval and blessings.

Therefore, Lixiang was not worried about any melodrama or orthopedic tragedy that would happen after she returned home. She was really concerned about someone else.

Chapter 1060: The Bad Girl Lixiang

Of course, Lixiang was not worried about Jiang Liu. She knew very well that although her brother was wandering around, he was a man with ability to do so. Generally speaking, there was no need to worry about his safety.

Besides, Jiang Liu also said that after the human civilization restoration is completed, he will stay at home for quite a long time to complete his new light novel.

What really worries Lixiang are those people who have intricate ties with her brother but cannot be severed.

Because in the future, living under the same roof, in addition to the happy Toyama family, there will also be those shameless nymphomaniacs who think "I'm not here to destroy this family, but to join this family"!

Well, although in a sense they are also members of the Toyama family, and have been recognized by everyone in the family and even Ritsuka himself, deep down in his heart Ritsuka still insists that they are a group of thieving cats!

Originally, when she left the house, she was thinking that she would be able to recognize her feelings after returning from Antarctica and muster up the courage to confess to her brother. However, various unexpected situations occurred, and before she knew it, let alone confessing, someone had already started to two-timing her, and even "split into five equal parts"!

The reality is already like this, and Ritsuka has no way to change it, so even if she confesses in a tough manner, or even attacks at night... it is only to confirm her and Jiang Liu's feelings for each other, and there is no way to truly monopolize Jiang Liu.

God has mercy on her, she was the first to come, but somehow she became Xiaowu...

She and Athena and the others had already "understood each other" before, so now everyone was good sisters on the surface, but whether they actually had any thoughts or plans to steal men... no one could know.

Unfortunately, ideas are ideas and reality is reality.

These girls may feel jealous and envious, but their upbringing and personalities mean that they are not cut out for palace fighting - they may be better at drawing swords.

In this regard, Athena, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and Hebe, who has lived for hundreds of millions of years, may not be more experienced than Ritsuka, who has watched bloody romance dramas for more than ten years.

That kind of bitter and vengeful plot probably won't happen in the Toyama family in the future, but that doesn't stop Ritsuka from making preparations.

What she was worried about was simple: she seemed to be the only "ordinary girl" among the crowd.

What if there is a conflict in the future and she can’t beat the other party?

As a qualified master, Ritsuka naturally thought of asking for help, but...

"I don't know if Mashu is willing to go home with me..."

In Ritsuka's life plan, it is impossible for her to be a savior and a hero for her entire life. She will not stay in Chaldea forever and devote her youth completely to this land of ice and snow.

After everything is on track, she will put aside her honor and burden, return to life as an ordinary person, and then unite with Jiang Liu - both physically, spiritually, and in legal terms.

If all goes well, in a few years, the Yuanshan family will be able to form their own football team, and maybe even win a World Cup or something.

But in this plan, what reason does she have to keep the heroic spirit by her side?

She believed that as long as she made a request, there would definitely be a heroic spirit who would choose to help her unconditionally, such as Mashu, Qingji, and Da Vinci... Oh no, this person might ask for money.

The bond between her and the Heroic Spirits is indeed precious, but the Heroic Spirits are all great heroes who have left their names in history. They responded to Chaldea's call to save the world. Now she is asked to keep them in the world as bodyguards for her own selfish desires... Ritsuka always has a faint sense of guilt.

After much thought, it seems that only Mashu is the right person.

First of all, the bond between her and the sub-Servant girl is beyond doubt. Secondly, Mashu is not a real Heroic Spirit. She, like Ritsuka, is also a human living in modern times.

But the problem is that Mashu was born in Chaldea, and for a long time, the "world" in her eyes was Chaldea.

Although her memories here also have some not-so-good parts, it is undeniable that this place has extremely important significance to her.

Would Mashu be willing to leave Chaldea and go to the Far East with her?

Moreover, after arriving in the Far East, with what identity and position will Mashu live?

Ritsuka, who was a little undecided, tentatively proposed this idea to Mashu at the lunch table after the training, and in a joking tone.

however--

"I am willing!"

Mashu looked into Ritsuka's eyes very seriously, and the sub-Servant girl's eyes were flashing with sincere emotions that made Ritsuka feel burning.

"If you need me, Mash Kyrielight will follow you wherever you go."

"Don't be so loud..."

"Ah, sorry."

"Mashu, when you say that, I feel a little guilty."

Li Xiang frowned slightly, with a confused expression: "I feel like a kidnapper who deceived an innocent girl."

"senior?"

"I don't want you to decide your future and life just because of the reason "I need you"."

Li Xiang pursed his lips and said seriously: “Mashu, you are too gentle and always considerate of others... Although this is a very noble quality, it is easy to be hurt.

Even if you have to decide your own future, I hope it is what you want from the bottom of your heart, the choice that makes you happy, and it is based on your own desires rather than being influenced by others. "

After listening to this, Mashu's serious expression softened a lot in an instant. After a subtle silence, the sub-servant girl revealed a smile as beautiful as the morning light.

"Senior is a truly gentle person... He can always warm people's hearts... Oh, don't worry, senior, I don't want to go back with you because of the reason of "dedication".

After going through so many things, I am no longer a child who knows nothing and only uses myself as a tool. Now I can clearly express my wish: I want to be with my seniors! "

Mashu held Ritsuka's hands, a little too hard.

"This is not an unthoughtful statement, but my true thoughts! My happiness is nothing but a future with my senior!"

“Mashu…”

Li Xiang's throat moved and his eyes were instantly filled with tears.

"I am so touched, Mashu... Well, I want to be with you too—"

Mashu's expression brightened instantly.

"Be good friends for life."

Mashu's smile disappeared instantly.

"That stupid old man... let him have his fun with those sneaky cats. I don't need a man. I just need Mashu. In the future, we will always be together, even when we take a bath or sleep, we will never be apart!"

Mashu suddenly became happy again and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

——Of course, she said that, but whether Ritsuka really doesn’t want a man...that’s another matter.

Chapter 1061: Man of Steel and Lion Skin

The sea breeze blew across the sails, blowing up the pure white canvas. The intricate and delicate magic array flickered faintly on it, reflecting the bright sunshine and emitting brilliant colors.

Under the transformation of the magic sail, the endless magic power amplified the refreshing sea breeze, turning it into a huge driving force capable of propelling the warship forward.

This is a "classical" and "sci-fi" ship.

The classic thing about it is that even in this era, which is equivalent to the 21st century in pan-human history, outdated sailboat designs are still used, relying on wind power for power.

The sci-fi part is that the entire hull, including the canvas, is engraved with strange and beautiful patterns, which are not carved for artistic considerations.

Although it does have an artistic aesthetic, it instead collects the aether in the atmosphere, converting it into magic power that can be used directly.

Of course, this is a "sailboat" propelled by wind, but it can use magic to manipulate the atmosphere at will and create sea breeze in windless weather.

Moreover, its size...has truly surpassed the level of a sailboat and has reached a level that is not inferior to a steel battleship.

This huge ship, built with technology that is completely different from "science", is like a giant beast patrolling its territory when it sails on the ocean. It is truly awe-inspiring.

But the most terrifying thing is that this giant beast is not traveling alone. There are eleven such large ships lined up in an orderly formation. The size of the flagship is far larger than its companions. It is a true behemoth on the sea!

There is no need for sailors to operate the ship, nor is there a compass to guide the direction. Even the navigation of the ship is fully automatic. The commander only needs to transmit orders through the central mechanism on the flagship to make all the ships act in unison.

This kind of efficiency and discipline is just like a machine, cold and precise.

The commander of this fleet, the "Captain", is naturally full of mechanical calmness and wisdom, and is a man who never makes mistakes.

No, anyone who sees him will not think that he is still a human being, but will think that "he is just a machine."

His entire body was covered in hard metal, with not an inch of skin exposed. From time to time, the cold light of logical calculation flashed in the sci-fi helmet. Even wearing a cloak, he did not feel elegant at all, but instead increased the sense of oppression on him.

Silence...silence...

During this aimless voyage, the man remained silent, and neither did his crew. Apart from the sounds of the sails flapping, the waves crashing, and the ropes being tightened, no other chaotic notes could be heard throughout the entire journey.

This is a silent armed parade. The fleet responsible for defending this sea area theoretically has no enemies in this world, so they will remain on standby until they receive combat orders and capture the figure of the hostile target.

At a certain moment, the steel man suddenly raised his head, and looked toward the edge of the sea through his featureless helmet. Then he raised his hand, and a magical light flashed in the void, as if a ship's rudder made of shadows appeared in front of him.

Naturally, this fleet did not need such a "primitive" method to change its direction, but it seemed that the remaining habits of this body made it choose this not-so-efficient method.

But it was only a symbolic turn. Driven by the magic sails and water jets, the ship successfully changed direction and led the entire fleet to the junction of the sky and the sea.

After a long voyage, land appeared at the end of the horizon.

It was a small island, just like the various islands scattered throughout this sea area, with a small area and dense vegetation. Judging from its location, it did not seem to be within the range of human activities. It was an isolated island that had not been developed or was not worth developing.

However, this man and the fleet he led were heading right here.

Just as the fleet was approaching the island, the busy figure of a man on the foreshore came into the fleet's sight.

He might be the only human on this island... He was wearing clothes that were in line with the style of the era, but just a little exaggerated. He wore simple and sturdy single-sided leather armor and shoulder armor, tights-like trousers and a belt that shone with a metallic luster. He looked like a traveling adventurer, not an ordinary person who made a living by fishing and hunting.

Just like the fleet commander, this man's face could not be seen clearly because he was wearing fur peeled off a lion's head and the upper half of his face was hidden in the shadows. Even if one used magic to enhance vision or used the observation crystal on the ship, one could not interpret his appearance or condition.

A mysterious man...but the fleet commander knows that he is the target of his trip!

The man wearing the lion skin seemed not to notice the fleet approaching from the sea, and was trying to toss a simple raft on the muddy shallows, apparently planning to go out to sea.

Using something like this to challenge the capricious sea, fishermen who are familiar with the sea conditions would probably think that this person is crazy and laugh at him.

Apart from this makeshift raft, the man seemed to have only the dagger at his waist as a weapon, and there didn't seem to be anything he needed to be careful about.

But despite this, the fleet commander did not become careless, nor did he use the conventional tactics of testing first and then attacking. Instead, he ordered each ship to start charging their cannons from the very beginning, and without even saying hello to the other side, he planned to directly raze the island to the ground.

"Ok?"

The man who was dragging the raft seemed to have noticed something. He looked up and found more than a dozen dazzling spots of light on the sea hundreds of meters away. They were the main guns of the fleet.

The man seemed to be frightened. He stood there motionless without any defense and watched the main gun complete its charging.

"emission……"

The fleet commander spoke his first words since his appearance, his voice without any ups and downs, as if he was not starting a battle but reading a text without any emotion.

But his soldiers did not seem to need his encouragement. After he gave the order to attack, the next second the powerful main guns completed all preparations and fired at the same time.

"Buzz!"

A thick beam of light passed through the sea, and tens of thousands of tons of sea water were blown away by the powerful magical fluctuations, as if it was cut by an invisible sword, rolling up layers of waves. There were eleven such beams of light at this time!

This is like the final judgment sent by God, and no living being is allowed to escape.

Rumbling--

The beam of light hit the beach, then penetrated the rocks and the forest behind it, causing a series of loud noises. The eleven beams of light worked together to plow almost the entire island.

"Is it over?" The man of steel looked at the smoke-shrouded beach without any expectation, just staring coldly.

Chapter 1062: Hero among Heroes

As the commander of the fleet, it seemed natural for the man to look forward to the defeat of the enemy, but in fact, even when he saw the opponent's figure submerged in the light, the man's heart was calm.

For he expects nothing, just as he is never disappointed or despairing.

He is a commander and a leader. When the great gods bestow this glory on him, he is no longer a simple warrior but a general who must lead his subordinates to victory.

In this case, his only goal is "victory".

He will and should win, so he won't be excited even if he destroys the enemy, because that is his duty and what he should do.

If the enemy is not dead, he will not be disappointed, because it just means that he needs to organize another attack.

After failing twice, attack three times. No matter how many setbacks you encounter, you must analyze the weaknesses of both sides and then proceed to the next step of the battle. This process will never end until complete victory is achieved.

This is the concept of a man whose body and mind are as strong as steel, calm, efficient, and persistent, even like a precision-operated machine that is better than a human being.

His colleagues, superiors, and even the gods, trusted him as they would a tool that never makes mistakes.

Therefore, when the smoke and dust cleared, revealing the beach that had been "bitten" so hard that it almost disappeared, and the unharmed Leo man, the commander was not at all surprised. After a slight pause, he immediately ordered the sailors on each ship to prepare for battle.
