Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　While explaining this to Bai Leliu, Cong Yu listened to Yao Chuanguang, who knew the situation, provide supplementary explanations, and responded by tapping the terminal screen.

　[Cong Yu: I'm here, I'm here.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): Great, the current situation is rather... complicated.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): Well, do you guys know anything about this?]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): Hmm... it might take some time for the message to reach you.]

　[Cong Yu: ...]

　[Cong Yu: I don't know anything.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): Anyway, it seems the crisis on the Star Alliance side was resolved last night.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): My dad and other congressmen are in a meeting right now.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): They're probably discussing how to thank you for your help... but some councilors are making malicious assumptions about you, wanting you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): However, my dad and I are definitely on your side.]

　"what?"

　"Eh?"

　"Is the crisis over?"

　"Ok?"

　"I don't quite understand either."

　"..." Just like Yaochuan Guang and the others, Cong Yu was also completely confused. He frowned and asked—

　[Cong Yu: What do you mean by "the crisis is over"?]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): It's just that... the calamity and those black powders have been completely eliminated.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): No new enemies have arrived; the defenses are now at peace.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): But we believe there's still a possibility of them making a comeback.]

　"..." Has it been completely eliminated...?

　Cong Yu thought to herself, while Yao Chuan Guang, who had been watching the message, immediately showed a happy expression: "That's great."

　With that, Yao Chuanguang nodded in satisfaction, crossing her arms: "If there is no longer any threat from the Star Alliance, we can safely send everyone back to consolidate our forces and protect Lixiang."

　Yao Chuan Guang seemed genuinely satisfied with what she was saying, but... she immediately noticed the group of people looking at her sideways.

　What... what's wrong?

　Yao Chuanguang paused, realizing that her line of reasoning was correct...

　Just like during the Moirai incident, they concentrated their power.

　If that's the case, it should be easier to fight.

　Just by looking at Yaochuan Guang's face, Lantian Zhu knew what she was thinking, so she calmly said, "The calm before the storm."

　Xiao Cui also looked thoughtful, nodded, and then offered a different perspective: "It's also possible that they're trying to consolidate their forces and come to our side."

　Just as the Li people know that once they consolidate their power, the concentrated power will be more difficult to deal with.

　Perhaps, the giant snake understood this as well.

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　Reminded by the two, the belatedly aware Yaochuan Guang also realized that something was wrong: "Ah... Murasame?"

　At times like this, even "congyu" (a type of rain shower) won't help...

　Cong Yu sighed. He tapped on the terminal screen, typing and deleting words. In the end, he could only tell their guesses to the alien homeroom teacher.

　[Cong Yu: garbled gibberish (as guessed by the crowd)]

　[Cong Yu: Plop plop plop (You guys better watch out)]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): Ah. That makes sense... It might just be the calm before the storm.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): It seems we really can't be too optimistic. I wonder what the future of the Star Alliance will look like.]

　[Cong Yu: Just be extra careful.]

　[Cong Yu: However, those snake scales and extinction techniques are probably the last resort to deal with you.]

　[Cong Yu: Besides that, for you, the highest level of threat, even a hundredth level, is the giant serpent...]

　[Cong Yu: But it wouldn't warrant appearing on the Star Alliance's side.]

　The alien homeroom teacher seemed to be pondering something when Cong Yu typed the message, and did not reply.

　This silence lasted for two and a half minutes.

　……

　Perhaps it was intuition, but Cong Yu sensed something was amiss, and Yao Chuan Guang also felt something: "Cong Yu..."

　Before Yao Chuanguang could say anything, a message came back from the alien homeroom teacher—

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): Um, I suddenly received news at the meeting... the front line has lost contact, and communications have been cut off.]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): The message relayed back from the briefing... seems to match what you guys were saying...]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): Giant snake!]

　[Friend 001 (Note: Alien homeroom teacher): The final briefing only contained these two words.]

　"……"finally……

　come yet?!

　Chapter 1141 Etzel: We will win!

　"Is it over, Lady Etzel?"

　"Let's end it for now... the war against the extinction spell and the snake scales."

　"..."

　"That's impossible..."

　Etzel nodded without hesitation to her companion's words, and as she rode her warhorse, she looked at the ruins on the planet.

　That's a given...

　Etzel, who was having a blast fighting on the Star Alliance side, knew very well that everyone would face a final battle soon.

　That identity is probably that of "another giant snake from Congyu".

　From Moirai and Cong Yu's perspective, it's unlikely that the giant serpent would easily let go of the universe and humanity.

　Therefore, everything now should just be the calm before the storm... or perhaps a shift in the battle lines.

　The Extinction Technique and the Serpent Scales may very well shift their focus directly to the Li Township and attempt to defeat it.

　However, Etzel had no idea how the other party could have done that.

　No one really understood it.

　However... when conceiving of a "hypothetical enemy," one should indeed assume that the other party is capable of doing it.

　Regardless of the possibility, Etzel was very clear—

　"it's not finished yet."

　As she said this, Etzel looked down at the two dire wolves that were fighting alongside the army, then turned to look at the magical girl beside her.

　"You ride the demon wolf and tell the people at the Star Alliance what's going on. I'll arrange for rest and shift changes... After that, I'll contact Cong Yu."

　The magical girl nodded in response to Etzel's instructions and quickly mounted one of the magical wolves.

　"Ouch?"

　The wolf let out a silly howl, then spread its limbs and carried the magical girl away swiftly at the edge of the battlefield.

　Etzel watched them leave, then turned to the other dire wolf: "You should rest too."

　In response, Sosho howled twice, wagged its tail, put down the sword it was carrying in its mouth, then slowly walked to the side, lay down, and closed its eyes.

　Etzel dismounted from his warhorse, patted the mechanical horse, and then stood amidst the ruins of the battlefield.

　Because of the extinction spell and the snake scales, this planet, like other planets used as battlefields, is uninhabitable.

　The good news is…

　The inhabitants had already migrated to other habitable planets when extinction came, leaving behind cities and castles that could serve as temporary residences and resting places for the troops in Li Township.

　Moreover, if Cong Yu and his group are victorious in the final battle, then rebuilding and reviving the planet using advanced technology will be very simple.

　The premise is

　Cong Yu and Li Xiang need to win.

　At this moment, Etzel naturally wouldn't be thinking about so much, just like when she was in Mongolia, leading her army to fight against monsters.

　On the battlefield, she was quite serious and earnest...

　Battle loli (probably)

　……

　"Lord Etzel, what should we do next?"

　One of the strange men accompanying them asked this question as he stepped forward, his face showing exhaustion: "The Extinction Spell and the Serpent Scales, will they come again?"

　That might be the case.

　Etzel pondered for a moment, then realized that with her own intelligence, she probably couldn't understand the key points.

　"You go and rest first. I'll arrange for everyone to rest. The people on shift will take over the guards on the front line... Stay vigilant."

　The strange man nodded at Etzel, who was speaking in such a conventional manner, and glanced at his broken arm.

　Ok……

　What to say?

　His arm had indeed been severed by a snake scale, but he picked it up from the ground and reattached it.

　pity……

　He soon discovered that the arm he had picked up and reattached was not his own, and as for whose it was... well, it certainly wasn't Lie's.

　Left with no other choice, he could only pluck it off again and let it regrow... He really needed to rest for a while.

　As the strange man turned to rest.

　Etzel took out her phone, intending to post her decision in the group chat... but she discovered that her phone was broken.

　It was probably damaged during a previous intense battle; now it's completely black and won't turn on.

　At times like this, Etzel felt particularly envious of Cong Yu and Chi You, whose "portable space"-like techniques were truly amazing.

　With these thoughts in mind, Etzel verbally informed his adjutant that everyone was taking turns resting, and asked him to pass on the message.

　He took her phone, logged into his account, and while organizing his thoughts, pondered where to begin.

　Should I explain why my phone is broken first, or get straight to the point with Cong Yu? Or... has Xinglian already notified Cong Yu?

　Well, anyway, let me tell Cong Yu first...

　[Etzel: Cong Yu, I feel like something bad is about to happen (sending)]

　[Etzel: This is the Star Alliance's battlefield. The extermination spell and the scale attacks have stopped (sending)]

　"..." Etzel paused for a moment, staring at the "Sending" message on the chat page, and the small rotating circle before the message.

　Etzel's first thought was to wonder what kind of phone his adjutant was using, since it was so incredibly slow.

　Soon, Etzel belatedly realized that something was wrong.

　Because for the others who sat down to rest on the battlefield, their cell phones seemed to have no signal either.

　Very abrupt...

　Something extremely "plain" and "indifferent" began to reveal its presence, descending upon the feelings of everyone present.

　If we consider all of this as a poem...
