I really didn't want to burn it.

"We'll make our move tomorrow morning at 3:45 AM. They've already locked down the area, so it won't be easy for anyone inside to break out."

Ying Zheng glanced at the time on the ship and then continued.

"time is limited."

Li Ang didn't respond directly; he bit his nails and pondered quietly.

Seeing Li Ang's expression, Ying Zheng sighed.

"Li Ang, you're about to act on your own again."

His own national advisor has a long history of such behavior.

Li Ang said in a low voice, "If we hurry, we can use the passage to move everyone to Bianliang in Qin..."

"This plan is theoretically feasible, but who will carry it out?" Ying Zheng asked coldly. "You don't mean to lead a group of wounded soldiers into Bianliang, do you? That's the stronghold of that golden-haired barbarian."

"I don't need your help."

Ying Zheng flatly refused: "You plan to go alone? Don't even think about it, I will not agree."

Li Ang is still injured, and in his current condition, it is impossible for him to enter or leave Bianliang.

I have to try!

"I disagree."

Ying Zheng's attitude was just as resolute as Li Ang's.

"What if I could find teammates? Teammates with full combat capabilities."

Li Ang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Aren't there two Servants on this ship who didn't participate in the battle before?"

Chapter 339 Jeanne Alter: It's time to get out and stretch our legs.

On the Penglai, Li Ang had already gone to the prison cell with great enthusiasm, while the others gathered together with troubled expressions.

"Never mind, let Li Ang do it."

Ying Zheng sighed slightly, setting the tone for this impromptu meeting.

"However, my godfather's unauthorized actions have affected our plans..."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, that was originally Li Ang's plan, not mine."

"Eh……"

Xiang Yu never expected to hear such a capricious answer from His Majesty the First Emperor.

Are you planning to become a hands-off boss and do nothing?

"why?"

Ying Zheng did not answer directly: "Li Ang said that the value of life is not determined by the quantity. Once we use numbers to measure life equally, people will lose the most important empathy and become like beasts."

At this point, Ying Zheng changed the subject.

"While that is true, when faced with a truly significant problem, people are often influenced by the number of people involved, which is understandable. However, I do not like the way that blonde woman (Kirshtalia) handled the situation this time."

At this point, Ying Zheng let out a soft breath.

“It makes absolutely no sense. If it were for the sake of a country, sacrificing the people of a city would be understandable, but that woman has no right to be a queen!”

“Um, Your Majesty… the woman you’re talking about is a man…”

Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "What's the difference? Acting so petty and weak-willed, it's like a woman's attitude!"

Xiang Yu wanted to say that his godmothers were all in the bridge, but seeing that none of them reacted, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Actually, I am quite looking forward to seeing how far Li Ang can go under these circumstances."

Ying Zheng put his hands in his sleeves, looking like he was about to watch a good show.

"Only at the most critical moment can one see a person's true thoughts. I am very curious about what choice Li Ang will make."

"……All right."

Alright, since his own leader had said so, Xiang Yu naturally stopped insisting.

Meanwhile, as Li Ang walked toward his cell, he received a new notification about Group A.

"Even the dragon of Ye County has been captured?"

“Yes.” Chloris nodded. “Judging from the information we’ve received, it was probably Peperoncino who made the move.”

"Since Lin'an fell, it's reasonable to use dragons from Ye County as a replacement. The question is, why?"

Li Ang rubbed his temples twice with his fingers.

The reason why four dragons are necessary is clearly related to what Kirshtalia is about to do.

Whether it's the requirement of four dragons or the magic power of four dragons, it's clear that Kilshtalia is about to hold some kind of ritual; otherwise, she wouldn't be so insistent on having four dragons.

[Host, Kirshtalia's actions against the refugees in Bianliang may be a ploy to clear out the area.]

"What's the reason?"

[Kirshtalia has selected locations that are all special ancient capitals, including Bianliang, which is one of them.]

"You mean, Kirshtalia's bullshit plan is all set up?"

Li Ang suddenly stopped in his tracks.

[This possibility cannot be ruled out; after all, in the Type-Moon universe, there's nothing that can't be accomplished with enough magic power.]

“The possibility is enough.” Li Ang clenched his fist. “It seems that I have no choice but to go to Bianliang this time.”

Do you need intelligence?

"Claus asked from the other end of the communication."

"Of course, from now on, the magical power monitoring of the Bianliang Dragon Vein will be conducted every half hour."

Li Ang nodded solemnly.

"We've always been on the defensive before, which puts us at a disadvantage when facing Kirshtalia. Now it's time to take the initiative!"

“I understand, I will tell Ying Zheng,” Chloris replied.

"But before that, we need to get the person out first."

As he spoke, Li Ang stopped in front of a door.

After taking a deep breath, Li Ang pressed the button next to the door.

Swah——

The prison door on the Penglai ship opened with a click.

"Oh? You've come to see us again."

The bound Jeanne d'Arc looked up at Li Ang and teased him.

"Because I need to talk to you about something."

Li Ang said solemnly.

"Forget about trying to persuade me to surrender," Jeanne Alter shook her head dismissively. "I won't be swayed by your sweet talk."

"Of course I know."

Li Ang nodded slightly.

"Then what are you doing here? Just to humiliate yourself? I never knew you had such a hobby..."

At this point, Joan of Arc Alt even showed a look of disgust.

“Li Ang...you’re the lowest rank.”

Even Mashu, who was standing to the side, looked at Li Ang with a strange expression.

"That's not it!"

Li Ang said loudly, his voice unintentionally revealing his exasperation.

"Of course, there aren't many opportunities to tease you, so if you don't take advantage of this now, you won't have another chance later."

Joan of Arc laughed heartily, delighted that she had outwitted Leon in words.

"You woman..."

Li Ang rubbed his temples vigorously.

Although Jeanne Alter is known as the easiest woman to win over in all of Chaldea, that's only when the other party is her Servant.

"Forget it, I'm not here to have this pointless argument with you."

Li Ang looked calmly at the two girls and said in a serious tone, "I've come to ask you for help."

Both of them are very straightforward, and it's more important for them to be frank from the start.

Joan of Arc Alt laughed sarcastically: "How strange that you would seek help from two prisoners like us."

"Because there's no other way," Li Ang scratched his head. "Anyway, I hope you two can help me go and rescue people."

Li Ang quickly recounted what had happened.

However, Leon did not mention the possible rituals that Kirshtalia might be carrying out, but only mentioned that he might be clearing out the people.

"Who knows if what you're saying is true?"

Jeanne Alter turned her face to one side with a disdainful expression.

"Of course it's true. There's no benefit in lying to you about something like this. You'll see when the time comes."

Jeanne Alter still pouted, saying with disdain, "Who knows if you tricked me into signing a contract with you, and then used Command Seals to do all sorts of things to me."

Li Ang sneered, "Don't worry, if I want you to do that kind of thing, I don't need a Command Spell. As long as I let you down your guard, I can get it easily."

"You bastard! Are you trying to say I'm an easy woman to handle?!"

Joan of Arc's voice trailed off, her face full of resentment.

"Li Ang."

Mash, who hadn't spoken since Leon came in, finally spoke.

"If it's to help others, then my shield is ready to serve you."

Mash already considers herself a member of the Knights of the Round Table, and as a knight, she should act like one. Helping the weak is one of the principles of chivalry.

"Don't worry, I won't let you regret your choice."

Li Ang opened the cell door and responded to Mashu's words with a smile.

"Do you regret it?"

Mashu intentionally or unintentionally avoided Leon's gaze.

"I've regretted it for a long time."

Mashu shook her head slightly and muttered in a very low voice.

"Anyway, I definitely won't regret choosing to ask Mash for help."

Leon patted Mash on the shoulder, then turned his gaze to the remaining Servant.

"So, Miss Joan of Arc, what are your thoughts?"

Joan of Arc Alt turned her head back and looked directly at Li Ang.

This time, her eyes no longer held the teasing and mockery of before; instead, she looked at Li Ang very seriously.

Are you sure you want my help?
