Whoosh! A rocket several meters high shot into the sky and flew back towards the vicinity of Chaldea's encampment.
Upon witnessing this scene, Leonardo da Vinci frowned, turned to look at the rocket on the screen, and said, "They've launched another rocket from Xianyang. This time, just like the first one, it's probably aimed at our position."
"So this isn't a supply for Hinako Akuta?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked.
"Hmm! It's a direct attack. Or like Akuta Hinako and Lanling Wang at the beginning... I guess it contains those mechanical puppets."
They could be transported roughly, or launched by rockets when needed. Da Vinci himself was terrified that hundreds of rockets would be launched from Xianyang City at any moment...
Fortunately, these rockets were likely transport rockets carrying mechanical puppets.
Instead of missiles used to destroy the enemy.
Even with Mashu's shield protecting her, the continuous barrage of missiles would completely deplete Mashu's magic power, and she would be finished.
“This is a civilization capable of weaponizing mechanical dolls. It wouldn’t be surprising if anything came. However…” Sherlock Holmes suddenly thought, “The movements of this Lostbelt have been strange from the very beginning.”
"Both Kadoc and Ophelia sent their Servants into battle only after they had found the right opportunity."
"They were all waiting for us to be weakened after fighting other enemies, right? Yet Hinako Akuta was the vanguard who initiated the battle against us. Why do you think that is?"
"Is it because there are no other reliable fighting forces?"
Such a powerful nation, does it really have no other fighting force? Fujimaru Ritsuka was very puzzled.
"Yes, that's the first possibility that came to mind. After all, this is a world so peaceful that even the concept of 'war' has completely disappeared from people's minds. Perhaps His Majesty, who rules this Lostbelt, doesn't have the means to fight against Servants?"
Based on these waves of attacks sent by the Qin Dynasty, Sherlock Holmes made the following deduction.
He believed that it was probably the First Emperor who sent Jie Chuzi, since there were mechanical puppets made by the Qin Dynasty that obeyed the orders of Jie Chuzi and Lanling Wang.
If the power of the Qin Lostbelt was truly strong, it should have destroyed Chaldea with overwhelming force long ago.
The rulers of a world that is too peaceful are unlikely to invest heavily in developing weapons, right?
"Hmm... the business consultant's speculation makes some sense. After all, in a completely peaceful world, maintaining a large-scale standing army would definitely consume a lot of resources and money. Without even a hypothetical enemy, it would be impossible to sustain."
Goldrov's eyes lit up, as if he saw an opportunity to defeat the Qin Dynasty and solve the problem of the Imaginary Tree here.
"If my prediction comes true, it will be very advantageous for us. It means that this is the [easiest] [easiest] [easiest] Lostbelt to date. But we still can't be too optimistic, after all, what follows is a direct attack from Xianyang, and we don't know what power Akuta Hinako is gathering."
"The upcoming battles will allow us to understand the fighting strength of [this world]."
With full confidence, Sherlock Holmes, having grasped this crucial intelligence and made some deductions, concluded that the answer was almost 100% certain!

....................
The Third Singularity: The Rebels Timeline.
Sherlock Holmes blushed slightly, feeling Goldruff's resentful gaze. "Ahem...it seems the methods of deduction used by pan-human history detectives cannot be applied to the First Emperor, who possesses a completely new human history..."
"What exactly does the First Emperor want to do? He has the power to easily defeat us, but he hasn't made a move... Instead, he's gradually increasing his power, as if he's testing our level... treating us like some kind of guinea pig."
"It's alright, it's not Holmes' fault... The First Emperor's methods are unlike any enemy we've encountered before..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka had encountered enemies who wanted to strangle Chaldea as soon as they came up, so how could she possibly let Chaldea swagger around under her nose for so long?
They were relentlessly hunted by the Thunder Emperor's hunters in the Frozen Wasteland Lostbelt, and nearly wiped out by the priest in the Norse Lostbelt...
He never dreamed that one day he would encounter a powerful enemy who didn't mention that he was deliberately letting the water flow.
"...It seems that His Majesty the First Emperor is testing our abilities and those of Akuta Hinako. It seems that we and Akuta Hinako are new experimental projects in the First Emperor's eyes. He is constantly provoking us to reveal our trump cards, our secrets..." Da Vinci looked at the screen with resentment. This sense of defeat was a first for someone who could play with abilities.
"Ugh... This feeling of being let off the hook by the enemy is infuriating...!" Mordred gritted her teeth, looking at the screen with dissatisfaction, gripping the Brilliant King Sword in her hand and brandishing it.
"An oppressor... an extraordinary oppressor...!!! This is absolutely the strongest oppressor I've ever seen!" Spah
Dax's expression turned serious, then increasingly excited, as if he were about to rush out of Shadow Border and head towards Xianyang at any moment.
After all, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.
In the Fate/Apocrypha timeline, Spartacus charged alone into the enemy's stronghold, only to be captured by the Grand Duke...
Jing Ke felt like he was being slapped hard across the face. The Qin Dynasty in the original Nine Provinces history was already very powerful, and obtaining that assassination opportunity... had already consumed the efforts and preparations of many people...
As a result, the Great Qin in this Lostbelt suddenly unleashed an even stronger, seemingly invincible aura.
It seems that on this blank Earth, the only enemy that can rival the Qin Dynasty is the mysterious Atlantis civilization in the Atlantic Lostbelt.
Detective Conan World.
Conan stared at his idol, Sherlock Holmes, with a wide, exaggerated expression. "Why would you analyze it like that??? Is he really Sherlock Holmes??"
"...A civilization with anti-gravity technology, capable of placing super-large structures in near-Earth orbit. Why has it become the easiest place to conquer? By simply dropping something from a super-large structure in near-Earth orbit, one can cause a massive disaster."
"With the countless heroes sleeping in Mount Li, they could probably overwhelm Chaldea with sheer numbers. Other Lostbelts, seeing the First Emperor's Mount Li... they'd definitely have a headache." Ai Haibara also found it strange. Could it be that Holmes didn't understand anything about technology, and thus made such an unfounded judgment?
Even if it's not a superstructure in low Earth orbit.
If we just modify the transport rockets into weapons loaded with explosives and send them flying in droves towards Chaldea, wouldn't that solve the problem?
Even if Mashu's shield could block it at first, it's impossible to maintain the defensive field indefinitely, as it consumes mana!
25. Xiang Yu, the peerless war god, with overwhelming power, and the Chaldea, who barely survived.
The sky above the golden fields.
Swish-!
The massive intercontinental transport missile, surrounded by wind pressure, hurtled rapidly toward Shadow Border.
"The missile is about to land...!! Watch out!" Da Vinci shouted a warning, raising his wand and being wary of the magical reaction that was occurring within it, but he wasn't too tense, as the magical reaction wasn't very strong.
"Hmph!! There's no need to wait for it to fall down, is there? Anyway, the enemy is probably the one riding on it!"
Mordred grinned, a radiant smile spreading across his face. His armor and helmet automatically detached, revealing the Brilliant King's sword resting on his shoulder.
"Hahaha! Then let's strike first!! Let's begin, Master!!"
"Alright, Mordred, I'm counting on you! Unleash your Noble Phantasm!" Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, using magic to strengthen Mordred's body and adjusting the magic output to supply Mordred.
Mordred unfurled the twin blades of his magnificent King's Sword, crimson flames of cursed fire coiling around its blades. He stomped his feet on the ground, his body transforming into a crimson meteor as he soared into the air. "This is the evil sword that destroyed my father—! [A betrayal of my glorious father!]"
“Ahhhh——!!”
Boom! All the magic power converged on the blade of the Brilliant King Sword and flew towards the missile approaching from the sky.
The magic condensed into a crimson beam that pierced directly through the body of the intercontinental transport missile, causing it to explode in mid-air, scattering countless fragments in all directions.
The crimson beam of light shot straight into the clouds in the sky, disappearing only after passing through countless thick layers of clouds.
Mordred materialized in mid-air before quickly returning to the ground, watching the scattered iron fragments and the plumes of smoke exploding in the sky.
She grinned, extremely satisfied with her spectacular first kill, "Hahahaha! That was awesome!! One hit and I'm reduced to scrap metal!!"
"Oh no, it's not over yet!! The magical reaction hasn't disappeared!!" Da Vinci noticed a huge body looming in the smoke in the air, rushing towards the ground at high speed.
BOOM—! ——!
Xiang Yu, in his centaur form, landed on the ground, completely unconcerned about the dirt and wheat covering his body, and said to himself:
"Heat test... determined to be the release of converging magic... threat level: minor."
Xiang Yu's eyes, flashing with lightning, were fixed on the direction of Chaldea. "Hostile target confirmed!"
He wore a white bone mask on his head, one piece of which was broken off, revealing a ferocious and murderous face inside. His body gleamed with a cold metallic luster, and he held four jet-black Tang swords on his four thick, muscular arms!
His long, jet-black hair flowed down the back of his head, and a rumbling sound emanated from his body, as if a nuclear reactor was providing power inside his chest.
Four thick hooves pounded the ground, and sharp blades covered the body. A charge could pierce through the enemy ranks and crush thousands of soldiers!
"Is that... a person? Or a horse???" Jing Ke stared in astonishment at the strange four-legged creature with a human body in front of him.
"It's definitely not human. But what's with this reaction...?! It's not a Servant; judging from the type of magical reaction, it's more like an automaton...! But the output is worlds apart. This centaur-like being before us possesses a large magical beast comparable to a fantasy or dragon species!!"
Da Vinci stared in astonishment at the detection radar on his wrist, which was frantically alarming. The magic power emanating from the unknown entity was surging, and the numbers were jumping wildly.
She thought that what appeared in front of her was an ancient dragon that had just woken up.
“达
"Finch, are you sure what you just said is correct? Not an automaton, not a living being but a machine!?" Sherlock Holmes stared dumbfounded at the strange centaur creation before him. The magical power surging from its body reminded the famous detective that this centaur was not to be trifled with!
"I'm doubting my own eyes too!!!" Da Vinci's eyes widened as he manipulated his wrist with one hand, quickly analyzing the enemy's strength. "These parameters... what's going on!? If it's a machine, these parameters are far too extraordinary...!"
The surging magic around Xiang Yu's body transformed into a strong wind that blew in all directions. The golden wheat bowed low, Leonardo da Vinci's brown hair fluttered in the wind, and countless golden rice grains scattered in the air, reflecting the sunlight. It was a beautiful scene.
One of the most powerful warlords in the Kyushu Lostbelt has finally set foot on this familiar land once again.
"No...don't scare me!! What do you mean by extraordinary!?" Goldruff swallowed hard, feeling the terrifying magical power emanating from the centaur Xiang Yu, as if he were being targeted by a dragon.
"Machines are different from living things; they can change their output in response to actions. Just like no idiot would floor the gas pedal the moment they drive a car out of the garage, right?! You can't completely trust the parameters you just measured!!!"
"The thing in front of us is just warming up! Its engine revs have only just started to climb! It hasn't even broken 100 yet!!"
Sherlock Holmes used a wonderful metaphor to describe the amazing scene he was now witnessing.
They underestimated their enemy. They were far too careless. They never expected such a terrifying thing to appear in the Lostbelt, which was considered the "easiest" to conquer.
"Impossible... The light screen can boost magical power to this extent just by warming up...!?" Mash stared incredulously at the centaur mechanical creation.
With a roar, the centaur Xiang Yu channeled surging power into his limbs and bones through the magic furnace within his chest. The thick lines wrapped around his four strong arms bulged, and the magic, shimmering with blue light, flowed throughout his body, forming a vortex-like cycle that grew faster and faster.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"
A violent magical force spread outwards, blowing away pebbles and sand from the ground, forming tiny whirlpools.
The roar of the Hegemon-King of Chu and Han seemed to change the very color of heaven and earth!
"...Da Vinci! Did you measure the value of the fluctuation just now?!" Sherlock Holmes asked hurriedly.
But he felt he didn't need to ask anymore.
Da Vinci's eyes narrowed with intense seriousness as he looked at the astonishing parameters displayed on his wristwatch, and he spoke rapidly:
"Although I have encountered many enemies with powerful magic in the past, there is nothing like this one with such a massive magical output!!! Retreat, retreat!! Retreat now!"
Da Vinci jumped up from the rice paddy, shouting loudly in the direction of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, and Mordred, waving his wand as he shouted to signal a retreat.
"Aaaaaahh ...
She threw the magic bomb in her hand at the centaur Xiang Yu, attempting to slow down the terrifying mechanical centaur's life.

The Great Qin Lostbelt, the timeline of the Rebel Three Musketeers.
"Lord Xiang Yu...!!! Lord Xiang Yu! Whoa... Lord Xiang Yu has appeared." Suddenly, Akuta Chuko was a little confused as to why she and Lanling Wang hadn't appeared beside Lord Xiang Yu.
Since the First Emperor entrusted Lord Xiang Yu to his command, surely the three of them would act together in a blitzkrieg, taking advantage of Chaldea's lack of awareness and understanding of Lord Xiang Yu's strength, to crush and eliminate them all!
"Forget it! Even if I let you see Lord Xiang Yu's strength in advance, it won't change anything!! After seeing Lord Xiang Yu's true power, get out of here!!! Don't ever show your face in front of me again!"
"How incredibly stupid of them to disturb my peace over something as trivial as poisoning."
"Lord Xiang Yu is indeed incredibly powerful... No wonder His Majesty personally modified his body." Lanling Wang felt the surging demonic power emanating from Xiang Yu's body in the scene. It was as if Xiang Yu was standing on an endless ocean of demons, and any casual strike he made had the force of a tsunami.
"Whoa... Is this a Servant!? In my memory, the only centaur Servant is Kael'thas!! And he doesn't have four arms, what the hell is this thing!" Mordred stared dumbfounded at the powerful being that appeared on the screen.
She thought she was seeing Gawain, three times the size of Superman, because of this magical power.
"Hey!! Holmes, are you really a famous detective???? This guy completely ignores my Noble Phantasm!!"
Her Noble Phantasm combined with the power of the missile explosion couldn't even leave a scratch on this guy; not even a broken skin!
Mordred turned to look at Sherlock Holmes. How did this guy figure out that the Great Qin Lostbelt was the simplest and easiest to conquer?
"..." Sherlock Holmes was somewhat embarrassed.
Fujimaru Ritsuka said: "
"Mordred, please spare Holmes... There's no way around it, our analysis of the Kyushu Lostbelts using pan-human history methods has resulted in far too much information bias!"
"I think we should consult Nezha and Jing Ke later, and try to understand the First Emperor's next move using the perspective of the Nine Provinces..."
"I'm not good at analysis, but the enemy is indeed very strong." Nezha nodded seriously. This demonic power is too immense; he absolutely cannot fight such an enemy one-on-one.
Goldruff was pale. Two days had passed, and the poison in his body had not yet been neutralized. Now, he had discovered that the First Emperor had sent the powerful Xiang Yu to Akuta no Hinako.
"Could it be... could it be that this is the general that the First Emperor said he would hand over to Akuta no Hinako to command—Xiang Yu?!" Leonardo da Vinci exclaimed in surprise.
She watched as the centaur-like, human-shaped enemy appeared, without even considering the possibility that it was Xiang Yu.
