Does this work too?

“Well, it’s not a good time for me to show myself right now. You should go and do the task I gave you.” Echidna looked at Roswaal and nodded.

"I understand." Roswaal nodded without saying anything more and left the study.

……

The following day, Roswaal began his own arrangements.

At this point, he had completely sided with Emilia without the slightest hesitation. With Echidna's presence, Emilia's forces instantly broke free from the civil war and reached their maximum strength.

At that moment, Emilia received the notification.

"Huh? What did you say? The Witch Cult is going to appear on the border?"

In the living room, Emilia stared in shock at Altair, finding the news utterly unbelievable.

Altair nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, the Witch Cult has already begun its operations. If you can eliminate the Witch Cult, it will benefit both yourself and the throne race. Therefore, you need to take action."

“Okay.” Emilia nodded immediately after hearing Altair’s words and began her actions.

……

Meanwhile, Leng Mo and Qiu Si met.

The Witch Cult's actions were inevitable, and now that the two had met, they began to discuss their next move.

"The Witch Cult will soon be destroyed by Emilia, so what are you planning to do next?"

Qiu Si sat in the cave, looking at Leng Mo opposite him with a not-so-good expression. Although he didn't know Leng Mo's true purpose, they had the same goal now, and he could be used.

“The Witch Cult is just the beginning. In fact, Emilia’s biggest opponent is not anyone else, but... the Sword Saint Reinhard.” Leng Mo said to Jus with a smile.

"Are you going to kill the Sword Saint?" Jus paused, feeling incredulous.

"How could that be? The Sword Saint is a very good tool; as a general, he can be considered a national treasure." Leng Mo smiled kindly.

So what are you going to do?

"The Sword Saint only obeys the Royal Family. Once the Royal Family is eliminated, everything will be over." Leng Mo smiled slightly, his expression filled with malice.

"What do you mean? Royal family? Felt's little girl?" Jus frowned slightly as he looked at Leng Mo. If it were just about dealing with Felt, it would be too simple, but...

"If we take care of Felt, what will happen to the Sword Saint...?"

"No, let's not bring up this issue for now, Sword Saint. We can start the next step of the plan after Emilia has dealt with the Witch Cult."

Leng Mo said with a smile, full of anticipation for what was to come.

"From now on, I will take command of the Witch Cult."

"I see."

……

That noon, the Witch Cult continued to appear at the border.

This made the villages next to Roswaal feel uneasy, fearing that the Witch Cult was going to do something terrible.

At this moment, Leng Mo appeared in the Witch Cult, standing in the crowd holding a black book, staring ahead with a merciless expression, and raised his hand to launch an attack on Roswaal's manor.

"You all go."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding witch cultists bowed respectfully and instantly rushed towards Roswaal Manor.

Meanwhile, Emilia, along with Ram and Rem, launched a counterattack.

"Puck, Ram, Rem, please."

Emilia watched the two people and the cat intently. After learning some things from Lani, she had gained quite a bit of knowledge.

Meanwhile, Lani also received on-site instruction from Emilia, receiving hands-on guidance.

Roswaal observed the situation of the Witch Cult members intently, a smile on his face. The number of them was unexpectedly large; it must be the main force of the entire Witch Cult.

The moment the two sides clashed, the Witch Cult was instantly routed.

Rem alone created an opening in the team, it felt like cutting melons and vegetables, without making a sound.

Even Rem herself sensed something was wrong because it was too easy.

"How could it be so easy?" Rem looked at the witch cultists surging around her, her heart filled with disbelief.

However, she didn't think too much about the situation, after all, this was a battle.

Soon, the entire Witch Cult had been completely wiped out, leaving only one person.

Leng Mo.

He appeared before everyone, holding a black book, and Rem, in particular, was instantly enraged upon seeing it.

"Die! The Witch Cult!!"

She charged forward with her meteor hammer in hand, swinging the weapon and smashing it down on Leng Mo with all her might.

"Don't get angry, it will only make you look weak."

Leng Mo raised his hand and easily blocked the incoming meteor hammer, his movements so effortless it didn't seem like he was in a fight.

"What?! Who are you?!"

Rem's face turned serious when she saw her attack blocked so easily.

The next second, Natsuki Subaru rushed up from Leng Mo's other side, clenching his fists and launching his most powerful attack at Leng Mo with a steely expression!

"Super Heavy Punch!"

boom!

Natsuki Subaru's fist landed in front of Leng Mo, but it was easily blocked as well.

"So strong..."

Seeing that his attack had no effect, a look of seriousness appeared on his face.

Leng Mo frowned, looking at Natsuki Subaru with a puzzled expression.

"who are you?"

"Subaru Natsuki!"

Natsuki Subaru introduced himself to Leng Mo without any hesitation.

"????"

No way!? You look like Natsuki Subaru with those broad shoulders and thick waist?!

Are you kidding me?!

Is this another system-manipulated tactic?!

In an instant, Leng Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, sensing that there must be a terrifying mastermind behind this!

But it's okay! Everything is going according to plan!

"I have to admit, you guys are stronger right now!"

Leng Mo said indifferently, glancing at Rem and Subaru in front of him.

"Who exactly are you?!" Rem gritted her teeth and stared at Leng Mo, her heart filled with apprehension.

"The Witch Cult's High Priest of Sin, the epitome of arrogance, Shammergil Cord. Well then, I look forward to our next meeting..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Mo glanced at Rem in front of him, smiled slightly, and disappeared from the spot.

Rem and Subaru were both taken aback; this battle felt like it came and went suddenly.

When Roswaal saw Leng Mo in the air, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

Is this what they call being arrogant and responsible?

Your strength isn't apparent yet, but... if the teacher wants you dead, then you must die!

……

After the battle, news of Emilia's victory over the Witch Cult spread, and the surrounding villages breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, my opinion of Emilia, the half-elf, has changed somewhat.

Emilia noticed a significant difference when she traveled with Lani. The way the residents looked at her was no longer filled with dislike and fear, but rather with a newfound friendliness.

"Isn't it amazing?" Lani asked Emilia as she walked beside her.

“I’m happy with how everyone has changed me, but I feel like I haven’t done anything…” Emilia lowered her head with a hint of guilt. She hadn’t participated in the battle at all; all the credit went to others, and she had just been watching.

“That’s enough. What kind of commander goes directly into battle and charges alongside his soldiers?” Lani said with a slight smile, her tone serious.

“That’s right, Leah. You don’t need to feel guilty. Every king does the same thing.” Seeing Emilia’s guilty look, Parker quickly explained.

If not 100%, then at least 95% of the kings are like this.

"But it just feels like... it's not working at all." Emilia sighed helplessly, feeling like she hadn't done anything right.

At this moment, Lani thought of something and smiled slightly, saying seriously, "In that case, why don't we think back?"

"Think back to what?"

"Just think about what you're going to do next, that'll be fine."

Lani smiled slightly, letting Emilia think about something while waiting for Leng Mo's next plan.

……

On the other side, Jules and Leng Mo.

Qiu Si sat down in front of Leng Mo, looking at him seriously.

"The Witch Cult is gone."

“Very well, then it’s time to proceed with the next step of the plan.” Leng Mo sat mercilessly on the rock opposite Qiu Si.

"doing what?"

"Restore Emilia's memories."

"How can we recover?" Qiu Si was very concerned about this matter, and his eyes became urgent as he looked at Leng Mo.

“I’ll capture Emilia and then I’ll help her regain her memories.”

Leng Mo looked at Qiu Si with a friendly smile.

Jus frowned, sensing something was wrong, and asked in confusion, "Why did you capture him?"

"Because the memory problem is too severe, I need some means to ensure Emilia's safe recovery of her memories. You don't want anything to happen to Emilia, right?"

“Okay, I understand…” Jus nodded seriously upon hearing this, indicating that he would complete the task.

"Very good, I look forward to your performance."

When Leng Mo saw that Qiu Si had agreed, he immediately smiled happily.

……

That very night, Juss sneaked into Roswaal's manor.

His purpose was very clear: to take Emilia to find Leng Mo.

He thought he could use his powers to infiltrate perfectly, but he was detected as soon as he entered.

"Who goes there! Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you trying to spy on me?!" Kazuma looked at Jus with curiosity, feeling wary of the guy's sudden appearance.

"What?! When did you find out?!" Jus was shocked when he heard Kazuma's voice, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Kazuma didn't hesitate and immediately launched a full-force flying kick.

"Eat my jio!"

boom--!

Before Jus could even react, he was kicked away by Kazuma.

Just as Juss felt his face go numb, he turned around and stood still, intending to use his power to finish off this guy.

When he came to his senses, he saw Kazuma spitting blood, staring at him in disbelief.

"You...you actually poisoned me..."

Pfft!

Kazuma instantly collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely, and remained motionless in a position where he could not stop bleeding.
