I'm really not an old sword

But she really couldn't accept the crimes that Ashiya Doman and his men committed outside the Holy City last time.

That’s tens of thousands of lives!

In order to create chaos, Ashiya Doman actually transformed hundreds of civilians within the high walls into Shadow Servants, and countless people died because of the wanton killing of the crazy Shadow Servants.

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't blame him.

After all, although what Ashiya Doman did was very bad, his starting point and the thoroughness and excellence of his plan were impeccable.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka really couldn't accept it.

But then again, it is hard to accept, but for the sake of preserving human principles, Fujimaru Ritsuka has to accept it.

After all, the enemy is too strong.

The Knight King alone was powerful enough to make her despair, not to mention the Demon Goddess. Fujimaru Ritsuka could use the excuse that "the situation isn't that bad yet" as an excuse not to contact the Demon Gods for help in dealing with Lin Qingsu, but if the situation truly became dire, she would have no other choice.

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was thinking, something strange happened.

Originally, Jeanne d'Arc and Minamoto no Yoshitsune were responsible for the front and back sections of the mountain road, which were the directions with the most monsters.

However, one relied on their strong abilities and the other relied on their superb martial arts skills to defend themselves safely, and Anna also did a good job.

Although Benkei is a little weaker, the direction he is responsible for has the least monsters.

So it’s been pretty easy.

But for no apparent reason, a girl's charming and seductive laughter suddenly came from the corner of the mountain road.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka heard this, he suddenly realized something.

Benkei was also stunned for a moment, with a confused look in his eyes.

Then a monster knocked him down.

Although Benkei reacted quickly and used his weapon to block the monster's claws and fangs, his defense line was completely broken, and several monsters pounced down from the top of the mountain.

Fujimaru Ritsuka watched helplessly as several monsters pounced towards her, and a fishy smell came from their open mouths.

Fortunately, Anna retreated in time to provide support and cut the monsters in half with a few strokes.

Benkei also reacted and killed the monster on his body with a look of guilt on his face.

"I am so sorry."

"It's not your problem."

After surviving the disaster, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly calmed down. She was not the type to blame others, but she did not comfort Benkei either. Instead, she looked ahead on the mountain road.

A hot, sweet and charming pink-haired girl appeared in front of the mountain road, holding a long whip.

"Queen Maeve."

She stood high in front of the luxurious carriage.

The monsters that just now surged forward like a tide, fearless and ruthless.

But at this moment he was crawling on the ground like a subject.

Having had a chance to catch their breath, Jeanne, Minamoto no Yoshitsune and the others returned to the area around Fujimaru Ritsuka and the carriage, and looked at Maeve who suddenly appeared with caution.

"Little cutie, do you want to come home with me?"

Maeve looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile.

"Is this what he meant?" Fujimaru Ritsuka then asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Master means life or death, but I think you are very cute and suitable as a pet."

Maeve smiled charmingly at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said, "How about it, do you want to come here and be my pet?"

"impossible!"

"it's a pity."

Maeve's smile brightened, and she raised her whip and lashed out fiercely...

It hit a monster.

The next moment, the monster's body was filled with fiery red magic power like flames. It was visibly several times larger, and its fangs and claws became sharper and longer.

As the monster raised its head and roared, the other monsters seemed to grow larger as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Maeve raised her whip and pointed it at Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group.

"Come on, my little pets."

"If necessary, please ignore the treasure and me, and break out on your own." Fujimaru Ritsuka also gave the calmest order.

Since Maeve has appeared, it means that her premonition has come true, and Lin Qingsu is behind this incident.

To make matters worse, the Warcraft Goddess and Lin Qingsu have already cooperated.

So, if the situation becomes deadlocked, and Lin Qingsu and Jin Gu appear together...

"Letitia?"

A voice that was extremely familiar to Fujimaru Ritsuka came from behind.

Joan of Arc shuddered.

Just as she was about to rush forward to block the monster, she paused. Seeing Anna, Minamoto no Yoshitsune and others blocking the charging monster, she couldn't help but turn her head.

A young man with black hair and black eyes was standing at the back of the mountain road.

It was different from the sea of monsters that continued to emerge from behind the mountain road at Maeve's feet.

There was only one person behind the mountain road.

But he was alone, and Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He could only look at Jeanne with a wry smile.

It’s over.

"I..."

"I just want to know whether you are still using her body."

Before Zhendace could finish, Lin Qingsu smiled and shrugged, "So, you plan to use her body to die?"

Then he asked as if nothing had happened, "Killing an innocent little girl?"

Joan of Arc's hand holding the flag trembled when she heard this.

Lin Qingsu hit the nail on the head about what she was most worried about.

She doesn't care about her own life.

Whether before or after death, she can sacrifice her life for her goals.

But now, she not only represents herself, but also represents Leticia, whose body she is using. Once she dies, Leticia will also die. Unlike her, Leticia is just an innocent girl involved with her.

Without her.

Living in a village far away from the flames of war, Leticia could have had a peaceful and warm life.

She felt guilty for involving Leticia in this matter.

"Let's talk." Lin Qingsu continued.

Jeanne's cherry lips moved, and after a while she turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Go."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled encouragingly.

Joan of Arc felt warm in her heart, and after whispering "sorry", she walked towards Lin Qingsu.

The two walked for a while after reaching the corner of the mountain road.

Only when they were far away from the battlefield and could no longer hear the roar of the monsters clearly did Lin Qingsu stop and look back at Joan of Arc, who looked guilty.

"There's no need to feel guilty. You've actually done a great deed by 'holding' me back." Lin Qingsu said in a joking tone.

Jeanne smiled, feeling a little guilty.

"Um... sorry."

The reason why she delayed Lin Qingsu in this way was indeed because she left the battlefield in such a critical situation and came to discuss private matters with Lin Qingsu.

After all, if a real fight breaks out, unless Merlin takes action, all of them might not be enough to defeat Lin Qingsu alone.

Even if she used "My Lord is Here" to delay time, it was still unclear whether she could block his holy sword.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. There's no need to apologize to me."

Lin Qingsu said this and suddenly walked forward.

The two people were not far apart, only two or three steps away. Lin Qingsu suddenly moved closer to Jeanne, and even her breathing became much slower.

I feel like if I breathe deeply, the other person will feel it.

She subconsciously wanted to step back, but Lin Qingsu suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulders.

"Let's make a deal."

"What deal?" Joan of Arc blurted out, and her resistance to break free from Lin Qingsu's control subconsciously stopped.

"I'll return Mashu and Da Vinci to Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"There are two ends of the scale. I have put the weight on my side. In return, Fujimaru Ritsuka will give you to me."

"how?"

Joan of Arc couldn't quite hear what Lin Qingsu said afterwards.

The only thing in my mind was "Give you to me."

It's not about love. Joan of Arc was simply shocked that Lin Qingsu would actually propose to exchange her for Mashu and Da Vinci.

But she just couldn't feel angry.

Although his words seemed to objectify her and treat her as a commodity, Joan of Arc was, after all, a woman who had led armies and fought in wars during her lifetime. She was a little naive in love, but in other aspects, many leaders and generals were inferior to her.

After thinking about it carefully, Joan of Arc actually felt that this proposal...

not bad?

Emotionally, she could see Ritsuka Fujimaru's friendship and concern for Mashu and Da Vinci.

She would be very happy if they could come back.

As for herself... bah, for Leticia, if she could not be an enemy of Lin Qingsu and be exchanged behind him, she would be so happy.

In terms of benefits, they make a profit by exchanging one for two.

Not only that, if the deal is reached, this inevitable situation should be broken.

After all, no matter how shameless Lin Qingsu was, she couldn't just turn against them after the deal was reached and arrest Mashu and Da Vinci, who had just left the "prison" a few minutes ago, along with Fujimaru Ritsuka and others.

No matter how you think about it, they are the ones making money.

The only problem might be that Joan of Arc herself was in a difficult position.

Her 'master' directed her to Fujimaru Ritsuka. If the deal was reached, she would have to work for Lin Qingsu. Wouldn't that contradict her purpose and make her an enemy of her friend Fujimaru Ritsuka?

"I swear, I won't let you deal with your friends."

Lin Qingsu took advantage of Joan of Arc's trance and gently stroked her cheek.

"Just stay with me."

Joan of Arc was in a trance for a moment and didn't even notice Lin Qingsu's dirty hands.

"I swear." "As long as you stay with me." These words were a little confusing even to her.

In fact, it’s not Joan of Arc’s problem.

This is entirely the problem of Aika Sajo and Leticia.

No matter how pretty, outstanding, or eloquent Lin Qingsu was, Joan of Arc would not lose her composure in such a situation.

He simply leaned over the silly girl Leticia.

Influenced by her.

Sajo Aika took advantage of the opportunity to trick Joan of Arc, and she was also affected emotionally and influenced by Leticia. Her guilt towards Leticia deepened the influence, and she was led into the ditch by Lin Qingsu's words.

"me..."
