I really didn't want to burn it.

Each Beast possesses the power to destroy humanity, yet Koyanskaya has not used a single Beast so far, indicating that the opposing side is far from being completely defeated.

"How about we launch a surprise attack on that fortress?"

Ritsuka asked in a low voice.

"No, unless we can destroy that warship in one hit, there's not much point in attacking it."

Li Ang said, rubbing his temples.

The fortress retained the self-repair function of the previous warships; failing to destroy its health bar in one hit would only waste resources.

"Then let Mashu and I give it a try!"

"No!" Li Ang stopped Ritsuka. "What if the other side can neutralize it? You only have three Command Seals; you can't use them on something useless like this."

"Should the army retreat and reorganize its formation?"

Li Ang shook his head again: "No, the current battlefield space does not allow us to do that."

"In that case, deploy the three ships."

Li Ang came up with a desperate measure: "Send orders to Enkidu, Xiang Yu, Zhang Yan Gong, Artoria, and Nero's forces, instructing them to switch to sweeping operations from now on, with the primary objective of eliminating as many enemies as possible!"

Adopting this operational mode of eliminating enemy manpower when the enemy can continuously generate new forces is undoubtedly a risky move.

"Meiniang, will you grant my wish?"

Watching the army slowly unfold on the ground, Li Ang broke out in a cold sweat.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"The three ships have been deployed laterally and are advancing horizontally."

Inside the Chaldean chariot Shadow Bord, Ying Zheng stared intently at the changing battle situation on the electronic screen.

"Is Li Ang using the main fleet as bait? Is he planning to put pressure on that fox in this way?"

Ying Zheng immediately saw through Li Ang's battle intentions.

The allied forces advanced slowly while fighting, squeezing the space of Koyanskaya's forces and forcing Koyanskaya to commit her key Beast combat power to the front lines.

Should we leave now?

Medusa, who was temporarily serving as the tank driver, asked, "We exist for those monsters, don't we?"

"No, we must continue to wait."

Ying Zheng rejected the proposal very seriously.

"Although our fighting strength is strong, it is not enough to defeat all the Beasts. We can only appear on the battlefield after that fox releases two or three Beasts."

"But to continue allowing our people to sacrifice themselves..."

"Our goal is victory, and to achieve victory we must bear any cost. Any cost."

Ying Zheng added in a low voice, as if he were trying to persuade Medusa, or perhaps himself.

"How could this happen? Should we keep waiting?"

Skadi, who was behind her, was slightly taken aback, and then shouted in great dissatisfaction.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch while the soldiers on the front lines are fighting bloody battles?!"

“You’re not a child anymore. Don’t talk like a parent who makes a fuss if they don’t buy a toy.”

Chloris crossed her arms and sneered at Skadi.

"I don't need you, a Greek god, to remind me!" Skadi retorted, clearly annoyed. "If you're so capable of criticizing me, you might as well hurry up and tone down that overpowering body odor of yours; it's suffocating me!"

“Really? I think it’s fine.” Shiki interjected.

"Body odor? This is my floral scent! You country bumpkin! Oh! Right, I forgot that there are only trees and snow in the deep mountains of Northern Europe. You're really pathetic for never having seen flowers."

Chloris waved her hand dismissively and said sarcastically, "Fine, fine. I forgive you."

"What did you say!?"

Skadi's temples throbbed, clearly indicating her displeasure with Chloris's statement.

"You two, stop arguing. Is this the time to be arguing?"

Annoyed by the commotion, Ophelia tried to break up the fight.

"One-eyed dragon, shut up!"

"..."

Ophelia fell silent.

"Now I understand why Li Ang doesn't come to command the assault team himself."

Ophelia complained to Pepe in a low voice.

"When it comes to women, I actually sympathize with Li Ang."

Ying Zheng chuckled softly.

“I used to worry that he was all alone in his household, but now I’m the one who’s having trouble in his household.”

"..."

Debit made no comment; he maintained his expressionless, emotionless demeanor and simply picked up a book to read quietly.

Chapter 376 The Fall of the Yangtze Knight

Nearly an hour has passed since the start of the war, but the fighting shows no signs of stopping; on the contrary, it is becoming increasingly intense.

Lancelot wielded the Undying Lake Light, cleaving a werewolf in two.

"Hmph, so-called magical beasts... are nothing special."

Lancelot scoffed dismissively.

"Everyone, keep moving forward! Eliminate as many enemies as possible!"

Lancelot raised his longsword, signaling the knights behind him to follow him.

Just then, a Knight of the Round Table to Lancelot's right was cleaved in two.

With a cut as smooth as a mirror, the knight was sliced ​​apart along with his armor before he could even scream.

The white-haired girl in the purple bodysuit casually flicked the vajra-shaped weapon in her hand, glancing at Lancelot out of the corner of her eye, her contemptuous gaze piercing through Lancelot's helmet.

"So you're that strongest Knight of the Round Table? Let me give you a run for your money."

Sakura Matou's tone made it sound as if the First Knight of the Round Table before her was nothing more than a chicken to be slaughtered.

"Has it finally appeared? Beast!"

Lancelot gripped his sword with both hands, his expression grave.

Lancelot didn't have a clear idea of ​​how strong Beast was, but he knew he was no match for him.

But Lancelot was not afraid; on the contrary, he was quite pleased.

"Notify the Penglai! We've encountered a Beast!"

"Lord Lancelot, shall we attack together?"

“No need,” Lancelot stopped the other knights. “There’s no point in using numbers against this woman. You all go and inform the King! Until then, I’ll hold her off!”

"Then you'll have to be able to hold me off!"

Sakura Matou laughed loudly as she charged toward Lancelot.

"How can someone who is clearly human want to destroy humanity?!"

"Do you know how painful my childhood was?! Humans are just creatures driven by desires; they can be destroyed at will!"

Matou Sakura raised the vajra.

"I am the Beast of Desire and Love, Lancelot, you man who seduced your master's wife because of lust, become my collection!"

"Nonsense! How could I possibly do anything to betray my king?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pristine lake clashed with Matou Sakura's vajra, and as sparks flew, Lancelot was thrown back.

"Is this the power of a Beast-level being?"

Lancelot's mouth was bleeding, and he kept adjusting his body in mid-air.

Even so, the moment Lancelot landed, he felt as if his internal organs were squeezed together.

"What a monster."

Lancelot slowly uttered this thought.

As the most powerful knight among the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot was well aware of his own strength.

Putting aside all that strange equipment, if we're just comparing raw power, Lancelot is even confident he could take on his own boss single-handedly.

However, even with this kind of self, he was completely at a disadvantage in his confrontation with the girl opposite him.

No, it was a complete crushing defeat.

"Looks like this is my end."

Lancelot, having foreseen his fate, took a deep breath and then charged towards Matou Sakura.

"Even if I die, I will complete my mission! Beast, come and fight!"

"Don't be ridiculous... Who do you think you're dealing with!"

Sakura Matou smiled disdainfully and launched an attack on Lancelot, brandishing her vajra.

However, Lancelot dodged the sharp blade of the vajra by sidestepping and aimed his sword at Sakura's arm.

"Tsk."

Sakura quickly dodged, but Lancelot attacked her right next to her body.

Soon, Sakura discovered that Lancelot's attacks were always timed precisely when she was at her most vulnerable.

"Hmph, truly worthy of being called the strongest Knight of the Round Table."

Matou Sakura understood Lancelot's actions after a moment's thought.

Lancelot used his superior combat experience to fight back, not to defeat her, but to keep her here.

“This will never end, and I can’t spend too much time on you.”

Sakura Matou snorted coldly. She stopped arguing with Lancelot and instead tossed the vajra high into the air.

"Kama Sammohana! (Love withers, love is gone!)"

The vajra transformed into a high-speed spinning missile and charged directly at Lancelot, reaching him in an instant.

"Abandon martial arts and choose to overpower others with brute force?!"

Lancelot, who was on guard, was incredibly fast. His undamaged sword, Lake Light, slashed down at Flash, the fairy script engraved on the blade emitting a blue light.

"Aroundight! (The pristine beauty of the lake!)"

Lancelot channeled all his magic into his sword in an attempt to block the attack.

However, the vajra drew a graceful arc in mid-air, piercing through the Lake Knight along with the fairy sword.

"Lancelot, you truly deserve the title of First Knight of the Round Table. But that's all."

Sakura Matou withdrew her vajra and spoke coldly to the motionless Lancelot.

"Unfortunately, you are human, while I am a Beast. Our dimensions are completely different."

"My king... I'm sorry..."

Lancelot, along with his sword Undying Lake, was cleaved in two and fell to the ground, scattering large amounts of blood across the Temple of Time.

boom!

A beam of light pierced through the battlefield, heading straight for Matou Sakura.

Sakura Matou turned around and used her Vajra to block the attack.

"Artoria Pendragon?"

The blonde woman before him prompted Matou Sakura to give a mocking smile.
