I really didn't want to burn it.

"Even helping Ushiwakamaru and the others isn't allowed?"

“Yes,” Artoria nodded, then asked, “You can’t participate in this battle, regardless of which side you’re fighting.”

Li Ang was silent for a moment, then gestured towards an empty platform on the city wall: "Let's go there and talk."

Artoria readily agreed, and she followed Li Ang down onto the high platform.

"Why won't you let me get involved?"

Li Ang cut to the chase and asked seriously.

“Because Gilgamesh believes sacrifice is necessary,” Artoria replied directly. “He thinks the Chaldea side is far too optimistic about the current situation and that the sacrifice of Servants is needed to wake them up.”

Li Ang remained silent.

Gilgamesh's statement is indeed not wrong. Although the work of restoring humanity in Chaldea has not been going smoothly, at least there have been no casualties.

This made Ritsuka and Mashu somewhat optimistic.

It's worth noting that in the original FGO manga, Ritsuka and Mash witnessed the sacrifice of their comrades from the very first French singularity, and their mindset was much better than it is now.

In the previous singularities, Ritsuka and Mashu were always protected by Leon. Although they had witnessed death before, they lacked the experience of important comrades sacrificing themselves.

But Li Ang knew very well that when facing Ti Ma, this evil human being, he absolutely could not have thoughts like "everyone should come back together".

Therefore, Li Ang could understand Gilgamesh's approach, using Gorgon to help Ritsuka and Mash accept and adapt as quickly as possible.

Let Mashu and Ritsuka understand the feeling of losing a close comrade-in-arms through the most straightforward experience.

only--

"This is probably the most luxurious teaching session ever."

Li Ang remarked with such emotion.

“But this is something you have to go through to grow up.” Artoria was quite open-minded about it. “Mashu is just too genuine.”

"Since you like her so much, why don't you just adopt her as your goddaughter?"

Li Ang joked with a smile.

"Forget it, Lord Lancelot will come after me to the death."

Artoria gave a vague and evasive answer.

Leon sat down on the edge of the platform and turned to Artoria, asking, "How is things on the British side?"

"Things are developing quite well. Although we and Rome have always had disputes over Gaul, it hasn't escalated to armed conflict again," Artoria replied with a smile.

Li Ang nodded: "That's good. You two can coexist peacefully. I'll find a way to separate you later."

“You can split yourself apart…” Artoria glanced sideways. “You mean split yourself into two people? I don’t think that Roman emperor would willingly let go.”

Actually, there's something Artoria didn't mention.

Although Rome and Britain did not fight over Gaul, their leaders engaged in a full-blown brawl almost every few days over a dispute about the ownership of a certain man.

"I meant separating the two singularities, Britain and Rome," Leon retorted loudly. "Where would I get the chance to split myself in two? And what would you do with half of me? Have a hot pot with me?"

"That's fine, at least we won't have to see that damned emperor's annoying face anymore."

"..."

Li Ang really wanted to say to Artoria, "Don't you and Nero have the same face?"

"Never mind, whatever makes you happy, Artoria."

"I'm very easygoing. As long as you remember to go home and visit, Li Ang, that's fine."

At this point, Artoria suddenly blinked and stared at Li Ang for a moment, then asked, "Li Ang, what about you?"

Li Ang glanced at Artoria with a puzzled look: "What about me?"

"Do you... still harbor hatred?"

"what?"

"The things I lied to you about back then."

Artoria suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and she asked softly with a blush on her face.

"It's long gone."

It would be much better if you said you were Artoria instead of Arthur.

"real."

“I don’t believe it,” Artoria stared intently at Li Ang like a lion. “You must still have some grievances, otherwise you wouldn’t have left without saying goodbye.”

Li Ang raised his eyebrows.

So that's what Artoria was worried about.

"I really didn't, I had something to do at the time."

“Actually… there’s nothing to hate.” Artoria said, rubbing her cheek. “In the end, it was my fault.”

“I’m really not angry, but…” Li Ang looked up at Artoria again and said, “If you had told me you were a girl, I might not have left in the first place.”

"I do not believe."

"...You guessed right."

Li Ang chuckled dismissively, offering no further explanation. Instead, he adopted a menacing expression and said, "So, there are some things you shouldn't ask about. Do you want to be subjected to domestic violence?"

Artoria nodded obediently, like a little girl expecting a reward.

"Yes, I want to. So..."

A flash of white light, and several more people appeared on the platform.

"Let me abuse you, Li Ang."

Looking at the impressive lineup in front of him, Li Ang finally managed to utter a single word after a long pause.

"Depend on!"

Chapter 224 Li Ang: Did you throw up your lunchbox?

boom!

With a loud bang, a deep crater was created in the barren ground.

"Hey, this guy's leveling up is a bit too fast. How long has it been? He's already this strong."

Gao Wen frowned as he looked at Li Ang, who had dodged his attack.

"Has Li Ang been hiding his true abilities all along?!"

Lancelot, standing behind Gawain, also wore a serious expression. She gripped the golden hilt of her sword, [Unbreakable Lake Light], which gleamed with light, looking ready to strike.

After Artoria summoned them, the Knights of the Round Table immediately engaged in battle with Leon.

Of course, Artoria's previous comment about domestic violence was just a joke; their fight was just for Gorgon's benefit, to prevent her from suspecting that Leon had rigged the match.

However, for these Knights of the Round Table who had long harbored resentment towards Li Ang, the opportunity to give him a good beating was a golden chance they could only dream of.

Unfortunately, Lancelot and his companions miscalculated this time.

Summoned as Servants, they discovered that it wasn't them beating up Li Ang, but rather Li Ang beating them up.

"So, is that why Mordred didn't want to come? She knows we can't beat him."

Gao Wen said, sounding somewhat irritable.

"Watch out on the right!"

Gawain's pupils constricted sharply after Lancelot's reminder!

A fist the size of a sandbag was already within reach!

It was almost the instant Gawain raised his sword to parry!

bump!

Gao Wen was sent flying by Li Ang's punch.

Gawain crashed into the city wall, leaving a dent in the iron-hard structure.

"Tsk, not only are they incredibly fast and strong, but our abilities are also restricted. How the hell are we supposed to fight them?"

Lancelot glanced sideways at Gawain, who was struggling to climb out of the city wall, and felt extremely regretful.

He originally just wanted to visit his goddaughter and, incidentally, give Li Ang a beating.

As a result, the adorable Mashu didn't see it and got beaten up by Leon.

Damn it! King, I want a refund!

Unfortunately, Artoria did not hear Lancelot's heartfelt cry; she was working with Agravure and Bedivere to block Leon's path.

Unfortunately, the three of them were still somewhat powerless against Leon, a Servant of such overpowered strength.

There's no way around it, Li Ang is just too fast with the [Storm] speed boost!

Artoria even had the illusion that she was being ganged up on by a group of Leonians.

"This twisted fate... they actually used us to practice our abilities."

The sound was almost uttered through clenched teeth, and Artoria's expression was extremely complicated.

After the recent battle, Artoria had already realized that Leon was using them, the Knights of the Round Table, to adapt to his new abilities.

It's not that it's impossible; it's just a "fixed match."

But the Knights of the Round Table also had their pride, and being teased by Li Ang like that made them all angry.

"Leon! Take this! Excalibur Galatine! (The Sword of Victory Revolves!)"

Enraged, Gao Wen unleashed a barrage of bullets at Li Ang!

Li Ang directly conjured a storm, blocking Gao Wenguang's first wave of attacks.

Then, Li Ang rose with the wind and arrived in front of Gao Wen, who had fired the cannon, in the blink of an eye.

"Li Ang, you—!"

Before Gao Wen could finish speaking, Li Ang grabbed his face.

"Go away!"

Leon swung Gawain's weapon in the air once, then tossed it toward Artoria and the other two.

Fortunately, Gawain wasn't flying very fast, and Artoria and the others easily dodged him.

"Oops!"

But when Agrave, who had dodged Gawain's body bomb, turned around and saw the distance between Bedivere and the King and himself, his heart tightened.

Bedivere realized the problem too; their formation was broken.

What's even more fatal is that Li Ang chose to kill himself first.

"Do you think I'm the weakest, so I'm easier to deal with?"

Bedivere frowned slightly.

Goodbye, Beckham!

Leon smiled and waved to Bedivere.

"Innocent!"

Bedivere approached Li Ang and wrapped his metal arm around Li Ang's body.

"Hey, I'm not gay."

"It's now!"

Ignoring Li Ang's teasing, Bedivere sent out a signal.

On the city wall, Tristan drew his harp-shaped longbow, aiming at Leon and Bedivere, who were entangled together.
