I really didn't want to burn it.

"You don't need to say anything!"

Ophelia finally lost her composure when Kirshtalia Wodim was mentioned.

This is just a singularity, not a Lostbelt. Although Kirshtalia Wodim is far superior to ordinary magicians, he is still still within the realm of humanity.

Ophelia didn't know that her captain could be as strong as the God-King under certain conditions, but she knew very well how strong Wodim was now.

Even if the enemy is protected by heroic spirits, there will definitely be problems if they are caught in the chaos of battle for a long time.

"Step down, Sab."

After a moment's hesitation, Ophelia signaled to Sigurd to retract his floating sword.

"Let's go and meet up with Lord Wardem."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Contact Ophelia and go after her immediately! We must take the Empress back!"

If Xiang Yu was somewhat annoyed about Chaldea's abduction of the Empress, then Kirshtalia Wodim's feelings could be described as utterly frustrated.

To win over that vixen, he tried all sorts of methods, even betting all the wealth he had accumulated in Luoyang. In the end, after all his hard work in staging a coup, his former employer suddenly appeared and stole the spoils.

Unlike Leon, who had anticipated Chaldea's involvement, Kirshtalia genuinely did not expect Chaldea to launch a surprise attack.

As the saying goes, novices always pull off unexpected and clever moves that experts can't predict. Chaldea's move to undermine their opponent's foundation was truly ruthless.

Kirshtalia hasn't broken through her defenses yet, shouting things like "Doctor, I'm going to fuck your ass!" at the sky, which shows how high her level of self-control is.

Of course, it's also possible that this young nobleman's vocabulary of profanities is insufficient, and he can't utter particularly offensive swear words.

"Kainese, you need to go right away..."

"You don't need to worry about that, barbarian. It is our responsibility to bring back the Queen."

Upon hearing the sound, Kirshtalia Wodim turned around abruptly and found himself surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"Kirshtalia Wodim, you barbarian, you've lived a life of luxury in Luoyang for so long, it's not a wasted life. It's a pity that your days of lording it over His Majesty are over."

The leader, a man who looked like a general, shouted sternly, "Purge the court of treacherous officials! This villain is the one who misled the emperor, spread rumors, and caused the court to fall into disarray! Execute him and his accomplices on the spot."

"Yes!"*N

"Hmph, who do you mortals think you are!"

Katniss grinned maliciously, and flames erupted from her body as she held the spear.

"Don't be afraid, she's all alone..."

boom!

The palace walls collapsed, and the two monsters, Xiang Yu and Sigurd, charged directly into the crowd and unleashed their ultimate attacks.

"Hey, save a few for me!"

Seeing that her prey had been stolen, Katniss screamed and charged into the enemy ranks.

"Lord Wodem!"

After the three peerless generals had killed almost everyone, Ophelia finally arrived late to Kirshtalia's side.

“Ophelia? She’s arrived just in time.”

Kirshtalia Wodim nodded slightly to Ophelia. He did not reprimand her for being late, nor was he puzzled by Xiang Yu's appearance. Instead, he asked directly.

"The Chaldea are there..."

boom!

Another loud bang, the boulder shattered, the roar deafening.

Everyone saw a gray-iron armored vehicle break through the palace wall and drive outwards in a zigzag pattern.

Chaldea!

Kirshtalia Wodim spotted the markings on the tank immediately.

"Did our organization used to have something like this?"

Upon seeing the punk-style armored vehicle, Ophelia's eyes turned into two small black dots.

"Chaldea? An opportunity!"

Xiang Yu pulled the spear from the enemy's body and revealed a cruel smile.

"If I wipe them all out here, my godfather will surely give me his praise very soon!"

Ignoring the enormous size difference between him and the chariot, Xiang Yu aimed his spear at the chariot's tracks.

"This kind of thing... as long as you're strong enough!"

"stop!"

A purple figure descended from the sky, blocking Xiang Yu's view.

"Tch, why is it this old woman!"

Xiang Yu had participated in the Holy Grail War organized by his unreliable adoptive father, and he was very familiar with the strength of Scáthach, who was his comrade-in-arms at the time. He also had a deep understanding of the formidable nature of this queen of the Land of Shadows.

Immediately afterwards, several more heroic spirits appeared in front of everyone, blocking the path of the Group A heroic spirits.

"This is troublesome! Everyone step back, this is not a battle you can interfere in!"

While fighting Scáthach, Xiang Yu signaled to the Qin army not to approach him.

He himself was not afraid of the old woman in purple in front of him, but unfortunately his Qin army was no good. Xiang Yu did not want to lose his army here.

However, Scáthach and the others did not intend to eliminate Xiang Yu and his group here; their goal was to cover Shadow Bord's escape from the palace.

After the armored vehicles had driven a distance, they all retreated.

"So they really didn't catch up?"

Scáthach glanced deeply at Xiang Yu, who stood motionless behind her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Don't pursue!? Why?"

Katniss was very dissatisfied with the order.

"Since we don't know exactly how many Heroic Spirits Chaldea has, and there are only three of us here, what if we get ganged up on and beaten up?"

Xiang Yu shrugged and replied nonchalantly.

“Indeed, we must handle this carefully,” Sigurd nodded in agreement with Xiang Yu’s words.

"Are you kidding me! That armored vehicle is so far away, how can we possibly catch up with it!"

Katniss retorted unwillingly, and in a fit of rage, she smashed a large crater in the ground with her spear.

Xiang Yu laughed and said, "No need to be in such a hurry. It's not like our Great Qin is without good things."

As Xiang Yu spoke, a deafening roar echoed through the sky.

Then a colossal object floating in the air appeared above them.

"Hey, shouldn't your Qin state have existed seven or eight hundred years before this singularity?! Why does something like this exist?!"

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the massive creature in the sky, Katniss unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat at her temple.

"Let me proudly introduce this to you: the flagship of our Great Qin army—the Penglai!" Xiang Yu announced to the others with a proud expression.

Chapter 303 Troop Reunification

Chaldea armored vehicle Shadow Bord.

Her Majesty the Empress scrutinized the Chaldean group who had kidnapped her with a slightly puzzled look.

Although she had met these people more than once before, this was truly the first time she had met them in this identity.

The emperor, a quintessential political animal, wouldn't easily trust someone just because they saved him. Her Majesty should remain wary of this group that had suddenly appeared and rescued her from the rebels.

"Who are you?"

Her Majesty the Empress asked Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"We are the Humanity Preservation Guarantee Organization, Phineas Chaldea!" Ritsuka introduced herself. "Your Majesty, we are here to help you!"

"Will humanity continue?"

Her Majesty the Queen displayed just the right amount of confusion; this level of acting was far too easy for her.

"Yes."

Ritsuka nodded, and then she began to explain to Her Majesty the Empress terms and concepts that Her Majesty already knew.

"You mean that Kirshtalia Wodim betrayed me?"

Her Majesty the Empress covered her mouth and looked at Ritsuka in disbelief.

“Yes.” Ritsuka nodded. “Although I don’t know why Kirshtalia Wodem, the Master who should have saved humanity, would do such a thing, he is now indeed an enemy of humanity.”

Through observation and analysis of the history and current situation of this singularity, Chaldea unanimously believes that the main enemy of this singularity is the elite members of Group A, who should be saving humanity.

Although neither Romani Archaman nor Leonardo da Vinci knew how Group A escaped the explosion, nor why they had come to oppose humanity.

Based on their actions, it seems that the conclusion that Group A betrayed them is correct.

“Kirshtalia Wodim, how could this be… I trusted him so much…”

Her Majesty the Queen hugged her arms tightly, her terrified eyes seemingly expressing her disbelief that she had been betrayed.

"Moreover, His Majesty the Great Ancestor actually..."

The Empress's eyes turned to the display screen inside the chariot, which showed Ritsuka the "history" she had just seen.

"This is incredible."

"Ahem, I know Your Majesty cannot accept this, but it is the truth," Ritsuka said anxiously. "Time is very tight, and we hope Your Majesty can pull yourself together as soon as possible."

The Empress took a deep breath, trying to calm herself: "I understand. Chaldea, tell me your plans."

"Our primary objective right now is to prevent the Burning of Humanity." Ritsuka's face lit up with joy as she quickly explained the current situation to the Empress. "We believe that Mr. Kirshtalia Wodem is likely trying to exploit the unique nature of the current singularity to achieve his own goals. Therefore, we must first deal with the Chaldean traitors led by Kirshtalia Wodem."

Based on her experience with the previous singularities, Ritsuka felt that the singularities created by Li Ang that deviated from the official history were not the direct cause of the destruction of humanity. Rather, it was the villains who tried to exploit these singularities who were the root cause of the burning of humanity.

This is the case with Tiamat in Uruk and the Demon Pillars in Norse mythology. Therefore, resolving the issue of Group A retrieving the Holy Grail should fix this singularity.

"This singularity is the brainchild of Li Ang, and if I could, I wouldn't want to completely overturn it."

Ritsuka didn't reveal her true feelings, but simply clenched her right hand, which was engraved with Command Seals.

After a moment's thought, the Queen offered her suggestion: "In that case... Miss Driver!"

"Miss Driver?!"

Miss Da Vinci, who was driving and was called out, choked.

"This is incredibly rude! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the empress!"

Ignoring Leonardo da Vinci's complaints, the Queen said directly, "This chariot should be able to cross the river! Please drive it north across the Yellow River!"

"The Yellow River? Why?"

Startled, Leonardo da Vinci instinctively slammed on the brakes.

"Our reinforcements are there!"

Her Majesty the Queen said firmly.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"North?"

Upon hearing the speculations of the allied generals, Zhang Yangong, who had joined the main force, showed the same bewilderment as Leonardo da Vinci.

"Yes, that woman will definitely head north."

"Why……"

Zhang Yangong didn't know why the other party was so certain.
