I really didn't want to burn it.

However, Li Ang's lineup is indeed a bit strange. If someone who knows the official history saw this list of "Qin rebels", they would probably not think it was the Qin army, but rather the anti-Qin alliance army.

These were originally historical figures from the late Qin and early Han dynasties, whom Li Ang "discovered" and "cultivated" over the past few decades.

The only person who wasn't fooled by Li Ang into joining the Qin Dynasty was Zhang Liang.

Although Li Ang successfully persuaded Zhang Liang to give up his obsession with revenge against Ying Zheng.

However, the hatred caused by Qin's conquest of Han made Zhang Liang lose interest in serving in the government, and he went directly to the deep mountains and forests to cultivate immortality.

"I wonder if Zhang Liang is still alive," Li Ang muttered, rubbing his chin. "If he's still alive, he might have actually succeeded in cultivating immortality."

With the invasion of Chaldea, the Fox Mother, and other Type-Moon forces, Li Ang discovered that this world, which could only use science before, was beginning to use metaphysics.

Runes that Li Ang learned from Odin in the Norse world a long time ago can now be used normally.

Although its power and effect are far less than one-tenth of Li Ang's at his peak, it is still usable.

As a result, Li Ang became suspicious, wondering if Zhang Liang would one day appear in front of him in a special way to show off.

For example... flying on a sword or something.

However, what Li Ang was more concerned about was that even though he had used a little bit of the mysterious power, he still couldn't summon heroic spirits.

My father always said that only magic can defeat magic.

To deal with those Type-Moon villains, it would definitely be better to use Type-Moon's native forces.

Unfortunately, even with Mash's shield, Leon couldn't call for reinforcements through that dining table.

"I wish I could summon Heroic Spirits like Gilgamesh."

[Host is dreaming.]

Damn it, shut up!

Li Ang rolled his eyes and made a middle finger gesture from inside his sleeve.

···

In a bungalow in a village outside Xianyang, a red figure suddenly appeared from the void.

"Mast, I'm back."

Red A spoke to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was sitting on the ground looking anxious.

"Arch, what's the situation with Mash?"

Ritsuka quickly pressed for an answer.

Red A shook his head slightly: "She's in that person's hands. I tried to get close to where she's being held, but the guards were too vigilant, and I couldn't get her out at all."

“I overheard the guards talking. Mashu should be safe for now. That person seemed to want to get information out of Mashu and didn’t seem to be making things difficult for her.”

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka scratched her red braid.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Arch."

"I'm sorry, Master. If I were any stronger..."

Red A's expression was rather unpleasant; his already not-so-fair face became even darker.

The situation in this singularity is absurd; he and the other Heroic Spirits are simply unable to unleash their full potential.

Otherwise, he would have blown up the Imperial Preceptor's mansion last night.

"It's alright, Arch. You should rest."

Despite feeling very disappointed, Ritsuka still expressed her gratitude to Archer.

She was indeed very worried about Mashu, but their current fighting strength was simply not suitable for trying to storm the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion again.

Furthermore, Ritsuka subconsciously did not believe that Mash was in danger, based not only on Archer's information but also on what she had seen and heard in this world.

This singularity is completely inconsistent with the singularity in Ritsuka's concept.

In Ritsuka's imagination, the singularity should be a hell on earth, an apocalyptic crisis, and she and Chaldea are the heroes who save the world.

Does this world really need me to save it?

Ritsuka looked out the window at the world that was almost like an utopia.

There is no war, no danger, society is peaceful and stable, and people live and work in peace and contentment.

Ritsuka could even hear the sound of children reading aloud from the village school in the distance.

Ritsuka couldn't bear to ruin such a beautiful scene.

Before setting off, Ritsuka had learned about the history of the late Qin and early Han dynasties.

It cannot be simply described as a chaotic era; rather, it was a chaotic catastrophe that destroyed everyone.

Thinking about it this way, Ritsuka even began to understand the thoughts of the man named Leon Falter.

If it were Li Xiang herself, she might also have tried to save the people of this country and keep them away from war.

Ritsuka had spoken with the villagers, and in their words of pride and gratitude, Ritsuka could hear the villagers' worship of the First Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor.

In the eyes of these people, the Imperial Advisor Li Ang is their undisputed savior.

All that was happening before Ritsuka made her feel lost.

Do I really want to destroy this beauty and peace?

"This is troublesome. Without Mashu's shield, we can't summon any more Servants."

A certain doctor who was slacking off complained through the communicator on Ritsuka's wrist.

"Aside from Mashu, we only have three Servants. That's simply not enough for us!"

"Hey, doctor."

Ritsuka asked, bewildered, "Was what we did really the right thing?"

"Is it really right to sacrifice these ordinary people, to let them be ravaged by war, in order to save our world?"

Ritsuka raised her questions to Dr. Roman.

The Qin Dynasty created by Li Ang is not the lifeless Lostbelt 2.3, but a vibrant and prosperous era.

Ritsuka felt a deep sense of guilt for destroying all of this.

"Well, that can only be described as the ruthlessness of history."

"Dr. Roman answered softly."

"Doctor, I..."

"Mast!"

At this moment, Ritsuka's other Servant returned.

As soon as she entered the room, she shouted at Ritsuka, "We just received news that the Xiongnu in the north have suddenly started harassing Qin's borders, and Leon Fart has decided to lead his troops to attack them!"

"what?!"

Ritsuka's eyes widened in surprise.

"The vanguard has already set off, and he himself will depart in three days."

The servant told her Mast what he knew.

“If Leon Fart is guarded by a large army, it will be even more difficult for us to make a move. We only have three days to rescue Mash.”

“No, Assasn.” Ritsuka refused the other party’s suggestion. “I’m going to the northern battlefield.”

Assasn looked at Ritsuka with surprise.

"I want to understand this world more clearly, and what this country really means to that person!"

Ritsuka said firmly, "Only in this way can we better understand Leon Falter and defeat him!"

Assasn didn't think it was a good idea, but she nodded anyway.

“I will obey your will, Master.”

"Doctor, is this okay?"

"Well, you're a Master on the front lines of the Singularity, so your judgment is definitely more accurate than ours, who sit in offices. We trust your judgment."

Dr. Roman said in a tone that was both indulgent and helpless.

"Very good! Everyone, target the battlefield in the north! Move out!"

Ritsuka clenched her fist tightly.

Chapter 6 DD: I've really gone to great lengths for my master.

After the Empress Dowager's death, Li Ang led his massive army northward in a grand procession.

In addition to the 15-strong army and the luxurious roster of generals, Li Ang also brought along the little eggplant he had caught.

Since being captured, Mashu has hardly cooperated with Leon. She not only refuses to provide information about Chaldea, but also doesn't explain to Leon how to summon Servants using her own shield.

That stubborn look made Li Ang grit his teeth in anger.

Torture Mashu is definitely out of the question; Leon doesn't want to completely sever ties with Chaldea.

If they really fall out with Chaldea, then Leon will have no choice but to side with Koyanskaya.

Compared to the cunning foxes who devour people without spitting out the bones, Li Ang felt that the Chaldea side was more harmless.

Of course, releasing Mashu is also impossible.

Furthermore, to prevent Chaldea from raiding his base while he was fighting, Leon brought Mash along with him on this expedition.

He even brought DD along to take special care of this special female prisoner.

Li Ang stated that this was to lure Chaldea into a trap, and that he had no intention of having any designs on the young girl.

Cough!

[Host, you're really getting worse as you get older. Didn't you have a blast back in Greece and Rome?]

"System, shut up!"

Mashu, who was sitting in the carriage, immediately leaned out to look when she heard the commotion outside.

Li Ang's sudden outburst of cursing piqued her curiosity.

Although Mashu is currently a prisoner, Leon didn't do anything to her.

Aside from having her shield confiscated, her freedom restricted, and being constantly monitored by DD, Mash was not mistreated.

Li Ang even had DD dress Mashu in a set of ordinary Qin Dynasty girl clothes to cover up Mashu's tight-fitting spirit outfit so that she wouldn't be too conspicuous.

"Miss DD, what happened?"

After pulling her head back out of the window, Mashu asked DD.

Despite being enemies, Mashu had a fairly good impression of Leon.

Aside from being a bit lewd and vulgar, I don't have much of a dislike for him.

Mashu was a little worried when she saw Li Ang acting crazy all by himself.

"Don't mind it, the master often talks to himself like that."

DD didn't look up; she gently stroked a black cat in her arms.

Mashu recognized the cat; it was Leon's pet named Phil. The black cat was very cute, reminding Mashu of her beloved Fou.

However, a small tuft of fur on the back of this black cat was burnt, making it look strange.

Perhaps noticing that Mashu was looking at her, the black cat broke free from DD's arms and jumped to Mashu's feet.

"Meow~"

The black cat obediently rubbed its head against Mashu's thigh.
