I really didn't want to burn it.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Click.

A cold wind swept across the bridge of the Penglai, but the crew in the control room seemed not to see anything, simply continuing with their work.

Boom!

A man was slammed against the wall by Skadi, and he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break.

"Why... why?"

Dugu Zuan looked at the magic wand with its pointed tip aimed at him in fear.

Just now, the woman who was choking him used this small wooden stick to freeze his two henchmen, who were known as "invincible within five steps," into two icicles.

"Do you intend to betray the alliance?! Or do you, Afghanistan, want to confront the entire Tang Dynasty?!"

"Hehe, you overestimate yourself. Just like you said before, a pawn should naturally be prepared to be used."

Skadi replied expressionlessly.

"Do you know how many benefits there are to cooperating with our aristocratic family! You have no idea of ​​our family's strength in the Tang Dynasty."

Dugu Zuan spoke incoherently, hoping to use his family background to persuade Skadi to spare his life.

"Oh dear, it seems I didn't kill enough back then, that's why you guys are still so unruly."

A male voice with a smile appeared on the bridge.

"Mrs……"

Dugu Zuan's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes.

He would never mistake this newcomer for someone else, because his family held a "Pear Eating Festival" every year, and the most crucial part of the event was to stomp on the portrait of the man in front of him ten thousand times and then burn it to the ground.

"It's wonderful that your family is so energetic," Li Ang said with a smile, stroking his chin. "This way, I won't have to worry about who to target this time I'm back."

"No...don't kill me!"

Dugu Zuan screamed in terror, only to see Li Ang's mocking smile.

"Don't worry, you won't die until you've told me everything you know. But by then, you'll be begging to die," Li Ang said with a squinty smile.

"Take him away! Keep a close eye on him, don't let him commit suicide."

"As ordered!"

"Fire the main gun and send all those bastards from the powerful families below to Yama's credit score."

Seated in the captain's seat of the warship, Li Ang propped his head up with one hand and stroked Skadi with the other, giving the order.

"As ordered!"

M78 Nebula 756365104

P.S.: It's 520 again, and Mimi is still single to the end!

Is anyone willing to offer some comfort? (っω?｀.)

Chapter 307 Ryougi Shiki: Heh~~

The main guns of the Penglai emitted a pink glow, a seemingly cute color that represented the words of death.

boom!

At the moment when light met earth, a deafening roar echoed across the entire battlefield, and the canyon trembled under the bombardment.

"Hehe, it really caused quite a stir."

Feeling the magical fluctuations emanating from the main cannon, Li Ang smiled as he looked at the deep crater in the ground. He looked around and saw only charred earth remaining on the ground that had been swept by the pink light; nothing else was there.

"This is the Penglai. Announce to the entire army that the target legion has been completely annihilated! Repeat, the target army has been completely annihilated."

After confirming the results of the shelling via radar, the communications officer of the Penglai reported the outcome to everyone.

"Thank me, for making your departure painless." Li Ang smiled casually. "It seems we can end the battle sooner than expected."

Skadi clearly had a different opinion: "I think it's hard to say. Those Heroic Spirits aren't something you can just stop them from doing."

"That depends on their performance. I have confidence in my daughters and children," Li Ang said confidently.

"So... what do you plan to do with this girl?"

Skadi pointed to the pink-haired girl who had been brought aboard the warship by Leon. The girl lay on the floor with her eyes closed, clearly still unconscious.

Li Ang did not answer directly. He pondered for a long time before letting out a long sigh: "Let's find a place to lock her up first."

"Are you really that heartless?" Skadi teased.

Leon pulled Skadi's hand and pressed it against his face: "Sorry, this time I might have to be a real villain."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Squeak~~

The collision of metal against metal produced a grating, grinding sound. Faced with the fierce attack of Ryougi Shiki, Jeanne d'Arc Alt had no choice but to use her superior strength to push it back.

Just as Skadi said, the devastating attack by the Horai did not end the war.

Conversely, as ordinary soldiers lost their will to fight, the battles between the heroic spirits became even more intense, because their battles would determine the final outcome of the war.

"I clearly have a greater advantage in physical fitness!"

Faced with the short dagger that Ryougi Shiki flew towards her death line, Jeanne d'Arc Alt used flames to burn it into scrap metal.

Through the previous few exchanges, Jeanne d'Arc Alt has gained a general understanding of Ryougi Shiki's abilities.

Despite being inferior to him in many ways, this woman's eyes were enough to bridge that gap. There was no way around it; the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, capable of a one-hit kill, were just that overpowered.

"I see, she is indeed quite skilled. No wonder Angye praised her as a saintess."

Losing a dagger is nothing to Ryougi Shiki; she now carries several daggers with her in every battle, so that she can escape danger when she is at a disadvantage in close combat.

However, Ryougi Shiki also clearly felt the difference in physical abilities between Jeanne d'Arc Alt, the Servant, and herself, a human.

Ryougi Shiki is very clear about her strengths and weaknesses. To win, she must cut the line she sees in her eye socket.

This statement sounds simple, but it actually sets two prerequisites for Ryougi Shiki's combat: first, you must see the "line," and second, you must hit the "line."

Fortunately, although Jeanne d'Arc is a top-tier Servant, she is far from being a monster like the Old Man of the Mountain, and Ryougi Shiki can still see the [threads] on her body clearly.

"So, the question is how to hit the mark." Ryougi Shiki licked her lips. "That guy, Ah, is really something, always giving me trouble."

"What's wrong? You were so arrogant just now, why aren't you attacking now? Is this all you're capable of?"

Suddenly noticing that Ryougi Shiki seemed to hesitate in her fighting, Jeanne d'Arc.Alt scoffed. Although Jeanne d'Arc.Alt was also curious, she was currently in the lead, so how could she easily give up the advantage she had gained?

"Hmph, I just don't want the knife Ang gave me to break."

Ryougi Shiki responded with great disdain.

Although the longsword she was using at the moment was not the divine weapon that would eventually be used to cut the world's connection point, it was still a treasured sword forged by Senji Muramasa (Emiya Shirou) and given to her by Leon after he enhanced it.

Ryougi Shiki, of course, did not want her sword to suffer any damage, so she tried her best to avoid a direct confrontation with the iron pole of Jeanne d'Arc's banner.

It wasn't that Li Ang gave away a counterfeit product; it's just that the structure of a Japanese sword makes it unsuitable for direct combat with the opponent's weapon.

Although Leon and Senji are the world's top weapon-making masters, the banner in Jeanne d'Arc's hand is also a manifestation of human worship, and is a first-class Noble Phantasm in the Type-Moon world.

"Tsk, this flagpole is indeed a troublesome thing."

After her sword clashed with Jeanne d'Arc Alt's spear once again, only to be deflected by the flag's Noble Phantasm defensive attribute, Ryougi Shiki spat.

"Looks like we'll have to finish this quickly! Honestly, I didn't want to do this."

Ryougi Shiki gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands, took a step forward, and launched a thrust at Joan of Arc.

What is she going to do!?

Ryougi Shiki's actions startled Joan of Arc.Alt.

Does this woman think that doing this will make me afraid of her?

"What a joke! War isn't fought by sheer force!"

Feeling insulted, Joan of Arc drew her knight's sword from her waist.

Although she was unable to activate Jeanne d'Arc (White)'s second Noble Phantasm, "Crimson Saintess," due to the mismatch between her Spirit Origin and Spirit Core.

But Joan of Arc Alt can still simply wield the sword.

"Isn't that girl a bit too brainless? Although she does have the strength to fight a Heroic Spirit, that Saintess is not someone who can be easily defeated."

Ryougi Shiki's actions also attracted the attention of many people nearby.

Cú Chulainn was even more eager to seize this opportunity to mock his opponent and disrupt Xiang Yu's momentum.

If Xiang Yu is distracted by saving Ryougi Shiki when she is in danger, then his opportunity will come.

"Ah? Then your Grandpa Xiang really feels sorry for that Holy Maiden."

Seeing Ryougi Shiki rush towards Joan of Arc without regard for anything else, Xiang Yu simply smiled coldly, his words filled with confidence in her.

"Don't joke around... No matter what, she's still just a human being, isn't she?"

Because of his memories of fighting against Ryougi Shiki, Cú Chulainn couldn't understand why Xiang Yu was so carefree.

"Hey, do you think my godfather wouldn't provide any protection for his women? He's the one who dotes on his girlfriends the most."

When Xiang Yu teased his adoptive father, he showed absolutely no mercy, even using the new term he had learned in modern society: "girlfriend."

"Ah!"

Li Ang, who was sitting on the captain's chair on the Penglai, sneezed loudly.

"Have you caught a cold?" Skadi asked with concern.

"No." Li Ang rubbed his nose with his index finger and said dejectedly, "I feel like Yu'er is making fun of me again."

This wasn't the first time he'd felt this way; Li Ang instinctively locked onto his target.

"That idiot must have said something stupid again. Oh well, when he gets back, I'll make him run a hundred laps around the deck to sober up."

Without any hesitation, Li Ang activated the skill [I am not a demon].

"I feel a bit cold, are you not wearing enough clothes?"

Xiang Yu, who was still fighting Cú Chulainn, shuddered.

"Never mind, it's good that Miss Ryougi Shiki is alright."

After glancing at the situation beside him, Xiang Yu revealed a relieved smile.

"Are you ready to surrender, you woman?"

There, Jeanne d'Arc Alt sarcastically asked Ryougi Shiki, who had launched a mindless attack on her.

"On the contrary, I think you can surrender now."

Ryougi Shiki lightly traced the blade with her thumb, her face radiating confident composure.

"Ridiculous! Who do you think I am! I am also the Dragon Witch, the invincible Aveng!"

Joan of Arc Alt didn't admit defeat verbally, but her sense of crisis grew stronger. Perhaps it was for this reason that Joan of Arc Alt's face showed a hint of anxiety, and her tone of voice became hurried.

"You're panicking, you little bitch."

"You go to hell!"

Joan of Arc Alt broke down on the spot, and she pointed her flag at Ryougi Shiki.

There's no need to show off any martial arts skills or supernatural abilities; at this distance, ordinary humans simply cannot dodge the thrust of his spear.

"Ah."

Ryougi Shiki's lips curled up slightly, a mocking smile flashing across her face.

"Die—!!"

With a decisive single-handed thrust forward, Joan of Arc Alt aimed the spearhead of the banner at Ryougi Shiki's heart.

At the same time, fearing that Ryougi Shiki might have some backup plan, Jeanne d'Arc Alt also swung her knight's sword towards the place where Ryougi Shiki might be hiding.

Ding!
