I really didn't want to burn it.

Red A clicked his tongue: "Tsk, all the tyrants in the world are surprisingly similar in what makes them so detestable."

"It's rare that we agree."

Jing Ke wiped the sweat from his temples.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

Ritsuka quickly stepped between the two sides to stop the conflict.

"We're all comrades-in-arms, can't we talk things out?"

Ritsuka first reassured her followers, then said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, they are all heroes recorded in history, and they all have their own pride. Please respect them as well."

"Hmph, a hero indeed."

Ying Zheng glanced at Jing Ke, his eyes full of mockery.

"King Zheng of Qin!"

Jing Ke immediately lost her temper and brandished her dagger, ready to fight to the death, but was held down by Red A and Attila.

"Let me go, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Attila said calmly, "We can't beat them."

"..."

Although I know Attila was telling the truth, it was a little embarrassing to say it so bluntly.

Ying Zheng ignored the wailing of the defeated dog. He closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while before opening them.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can help me..."

"To save humanity, is that it?" Ying Zheng's gaze fell on the Command Seal on the back of Ritsuka's hand. "I already know your request, and I will help you."

"really?"

Ritsuka was overjoyed; she hadn't expected the First Emperor to be so easy to talk to.

Ying Zheng nodded: "If human reason is destroyed, then my people will also disappear. On this point, you and I share the same desire."

"Don't you want your country to continue to exist?" Red A asked cautiously. "Your national advisor has been struggling with this issue for a long time."

"Li Ang once told me, 'Man proposes, God disposes.' If this is truly the fate of my empire, I am willing to accept it," Ying Zheng replied expressionlessly.

"Since I have answered your call, I am naturally obligated to fulfill your wishes. I will ensure that your humanity is unimpeded."

"that would be great."

Ritsuka placed her hands on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Red A and Jing Ke were still very uneasy about Ying Zheng.

Jing Ke, in particular, always felt that something was off about what Ying Zheng was saying, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

"Anyway, it's a good thing to have another comrade-in-arms." Romani said with a chuckle over the communicator, "Fujimaru, you must be tired today, take a rest."

"That's true. Jing Ke, Attila, let's sleep together."

Ritsuka nodded, then pulled Jing Ke and Attila toward the tent, leaving Ying Zheng and Red A standing there.

Ying Zheng looked up at Red A and ordered, "The night watch is entrusted to you, hero."

"That was my original plan."

Red A retorted without hesitation.

This emperor is really too strange; Red A doesn't trust the other side to keep watch at night at all.

Who knows if the emperor will secretly tell the Qin army their location?

Red A didn't know what Ying Zheng was thinking, but he knew that the relationship between Sevant and Mast was very fragile, and even with Command Seals, it wasn't safe.

Not to mention that Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System wasn't originally developed for the Holy Grail War, and it has far too many loopholes.

However, Red A, who had his back to Ying Zheng, did not notice that the other party looked at him with a mocking smile.

"Let's go see some old friends first."

Looking at the moon in the sky, Ying Zheng made a decision.

--------------------------

The next morning.

Because of the two groups of inexplicable guests who arrived last night, and because he was a little tired from traveling these past few days, Li Ang got up a little later than usual.

When he opened his sleepy eyes and saw a man sitting next to his bed, Li Ang was startled.

"Holy crap! It's a ghost!"

Li Ang grabbed his pillow to defend himself.

"It's me."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and then revealed his identity.

"Damn it, it's you!"

Li Ang immediately threw the pillow at Ying Zheng's head.

Snapped.

Ying Zheng caught the pillow with one hand and then tossed it aside.

"Knowing it's me, you still threw away your pillow."

"You're the one who's going to get lost! Trying to scare people by pretending to be a ghost!"

Li Ang sat on the bed, grumbling and complaining to Ying Zheng.

"As expected, you deliberately had that girl summon me."

Upon seeing Li Ang's attitude, Ying Zheng immediately confirmed his suspicions.

"Yes, it's too much pressure for one person to bear alone. You need to share the burden."

Li Ang said casually, and then he simply threw off the covers and got dressed.

As for the issue of being seen naked by Ying Zheng, Li Ang didn't care at all.

Back when the two of them were soaking in the hot springs at Ganquan Mountain, they had already been completely honest with each other.

Li Ang was certain that he knew Ying Zheng's body far better than some of his concubines.

After all, when other men favored their concubines, it was always at night when it was pitch black and nothing could be seen; Li Ang and Ying Zheng, on the other hand, soaked in hot springs during the day.

"Cough cough."

Why are you coughing?

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

Li Ang looked Ying Zheng up and down, then sighed: "You remind me of when we first met."

Ying Zheng calmly said in a low voice, "I also remember that you deceived me by saying that you were a celestial being, but that your divine power had disappeared and you could only develop science. Based on this alone, I can sentence you to the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Li Ang was startled. He braced himself on the edge of the bed with his right hand and leaned forward. "Seriously? You're going to pursue this too?"

Hey, is their friendship really that cheap?

“Who told you to never grow old!” Ying Zheng stared directly at Li Ang. “Sometimes I’m really jealous of you. I always feel that you’re not honest with me enough.”

Li Ang's lips twitched slightly. "I'm sorry, I really can't grant you immortality."

"It's alright, since I'm eternal in another way now, so I forgive you."

“Okay…” Li Ang scratched his head, “By the way, which class did you summon this time?”

"Cast (the magician), clearly a heroic spirit from the Central Plains, is given the title of a Western barbarian. It's really infuriating."

"What? It's Cast."

Li Ang was a little disappointed.

Although he didn't expect Ying Zheng to get an unconventional class like Rul in Lostbelt, it was still a bit of a disappointment that it wasn't a Type-Moon class like Rid or Arch.

Because of his extensive experience playing FGO, Leon's first reaction to Cast was that he was weak in both support and damage output.

Ying Zheng shrugged: "I don't really care. The [Territory Creation] class skill is quite useful."

"Huh? Isn't that just for self-contained enjoyment?"

"Superficial. What you call a battleground, isn't it my territory?"

“No matter how big it is, it’s still just a magic workshop…” Li Ang suddenly realized something, and he turned his head to confirm, “Wait, are you saying that the entire Qin Dynasty is your territory?”

"Of course, I am the state."

Li Ang looked at Ying Zheng as if he were a monster.

This is too much!

Alaya, Gaia, I'm reporting someone for cheating!

I feel like it's missing something from the Qin and Han dynasties... ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Chapter 14 My Emperor is a Cheat Code, That's Great! Li Ang Says

Each job class has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it's difficult to say which job class is the strongest when considering only one job class.

The so-called strongest Sab class is only in comparison to Servants of equal strength.

Of course, there is another question for the Servants: whether the class they are summoned to is suitable for them.

Take Cú Chulainn, for example. Even if he could become a Cast, his overall combat strength would still be slightly inferior to Lanc's.

From this perspective, the Cast class is truly perfect for Ying Zheng.

Casters are Servants who excel at positional warfare, or those who can maximize their combat power within their own magic workshops.

Li Ang's statement about Cast being a self-contained community, while a bit excessive, isn't entirely wrong.

Ying Zheng, who incorporated the entire Qin Dynasty into his magic workshop, was undoubtedly the strongest follower of this era.

Its intensity far exceeded Li Ang's expectations.

"You can gain magic power through dragon veins, summon terracotta army to fight, and have all sorts of ancient Chinese magicians and sorcerers... Where the hell did you come from, you overpowered dragon follower?!"

After listening to Ying Zheng's explanation of his abilities, Li Ang coldly retorted.

"I thought your position was as good as the Epang Palace."

Ying Zheng smirked smugly: "Who told you to strongly oppose my construction of the Epang Palace back then, saying it was a waste of manpower and resources?"

"Damn it, it would be so much better if we could switch places."

Li Ang felt like he'd eaten a lemon (a Chinese idiom meaning to feel resentful).

He himself is exhausted from using a single rune, yet this guy can have the entire Qin Dynasty at his service.

To be honest, Li Ang seriously doubted that even if everyone in Qin attacked together, they might not be able to defeat Ying Zheng.

“That’s good. At least we don’t have to worry about the Qin Dynasty collapsing after I’m gone,” Li Ang said, looking at Ying Zheng. “You should be able to handle all the problems.”

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Well, actually, I can go home after I've settled things with the Qin Dynasty, and there won't be any problem. I don't owe anyone anything. But... I feel uneasy about it."

Li Ang sighed.

Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "As expected, you're a good person."

"Don't praise me so much, I'll get shy."

Li Ang rubbed his nose with his fingers, looking rather smug.

"Ah."

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly.
