One man’s Chaldea

Page 20

Looking at Lin Qi like this, Nero finally couldn’t help it. He leaned back with the help of gravity, put his feet on Lin Qi’s shoes, and grabbed Lin Qi’s hand and started spinning in circles on the carpet.

“Pfft hahaha…”

The scattered golden hair flew in the air as she turned, and the girl had a bright smile on her face.

The clear laughter echoed in the room, along with the boy’s panicked exclamation.

……

Personally, I actually like Nero more, so I added more drama to Nero – if I have to say, the protagonist’s white moonlight is still Joan of Arc.

Suddenly I remembered something. When I was rushing to copy the book about servants, an editor from Shonen–Nian–Dream contacted me and asked me to go to the next door to write a story about Type-Moon. I showed him this book at that time.

The result is also very obvious. The writing style and plot don’t need to be good, but it must be a bit boring. My book is not that style, so it was left unfinished.

As for the questions that many readers have discussed, I have also read some of them and will briefly answer them.

First of all, there is the issue of Fufu. In fact, Fufu has always been in Chaldea, but she just hides and doesn’t come out to see Lin Qi.

Then there is the issue of turning to invincibility in the later stages. If it is like One Punch Man, where the protagonist can crush everyone from the beginning to the end, it is really hard to say that my story is turning to invincibility. I can only say that the protagonist is just a crazy C in the later stages.

I can’t spoil the plot, so just watch it. It won’t be a sad story.

Chapter 20 Pre-War Preparations

The scene is a bit blurry.

Lin Qi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, resting, when he suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

He opened his eyes in confusion and found that it was Nero who was standing at the head of the bed, looking down at him.

The light was mostly blocked by Nero, and the girl had a strange smile on her face.

Nero suddenly lifted up the white and tender jade feet and placed them on Lin Qi’s chest.

Lin Qi finally reacted, but before he started to get nervous, he heard a “puff” sound.

A strange red sword pierced Nero’s chest.

“My guards! Stop being restrained by the bed monster and get ready to follow me into battle!”

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and slammed hard against the wall, and a loud sound came into the room.

Lin Qi woke up suddenly, sat up from the bed, and looked towards the door in confusion.

Nero, who had changed into her original revealing dress, was standing there, looking at Lin Qi with a refreshed look.

It looks like he had a good sleep.

“Very good! Since you are awake, pack up quickly and follow me!”

Nero nodded with satisfaction, and left without looking back.

Lin Qi sat on the bed in a daze, and it took him more than ten seconds to come back to his senses.

“I just dreamed after all this time…”

Lin Qi muttered softly, but he was also relieved.

He said that the plots just now were so incomprehensible and had no beginning or end, and it turned out that he was dreaming.

After all, anything can happen in dreams, and they are basically illogical.

Lin Qi hurriedly changed into the Chaldean uniform, picked up the flag placed aside, and followed Nero’s footsteps.

Let me first talk about the current situation.

In fact, Nero had been fighting on the front lines before he met Lin Qi.

Because the allied forces that appeared out of nowhere had an outrageous number of troops, and the enemy generals had strong strategic qualities, plus Boudica who had obtained the power of heroes in the north also had to be guarded against, Nero was always at a disadvantage, the front line retreated again and again, and most of the country was taken by the allied forces.

If three powerful generals had not joined Nero’s team later, Nero might have been defeated at the doorstep of Rome.

As for why I came back——eh! I was beaten to my doorstep!

It’s just that it’s not the main force of the Allied Forces, but part of the enemy forces that came around from the Mediterranean.

The Roman garrison was small, so after being besieged they could only ask Nero for help.

Nero, who was originally preparing for a counterattack because of the joining of the three major forces, had to temporarily abandon this plan and lead his troops back to annihilate the enemy forces besieging the capital of Rome.

Then comes the story of Nero meeting Lin Qi.

Also, because Lin Qi fought very hard yesterday, he defeated all the enemy troops that sneaked in within just one day, and there was no way for them to gather a combat-ready army.

This surprised Nero, who had thought it would take another day or two.

We immediately decided to set out again the next day!

As for why he didn’t rest for a while, Nero had no choice. He was already at a disadvantage, and if he didn’t work harder, wouldn’t he be doomed?

Moreover, although the three generals on the front line are powerful, they do not have the ability to lead an army. It is okay to support them for a period of time by relying on force, but if it drags on for too long, the enemy will inevitably find their flaws.

By then, a total collapse is not impossible.

Back to the present.

After a long journey, Nero and his party finally arrived at the front line.

Amid the thunderous cheers of the soldiers, Nero naturally began the pre-war mobilization.

“My fellow soldiers! I am Nero Claudius…”

This time, Lin Qi did not follow Nero, but walked to a place closer to the corner.

There are two very eye-catching beings here, each of them is extremely strong and over two meters tall.

One of them was wearing a complex red battle armor with two long classic feathers on his head. If you looked closely, you could see his inhuman iron skin.

This is the servant named Lu Bu.

In Type-Moon, especially the generals during the Three Kingdoms period, they are probably all like robot Gundams. It is hard to imagine what kind of chaotic situation was like in the competition at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The other servant’s attire was much simpler. His entire body was muscular, with only a few leather armor belts on his body that felt like restraints. His lower body was only covered with a thin iron skirt armor that protected his vital parts.

“As expected, there is no change……”

Looking at the two people whose plots were exactly the same as what he knew, Lin Qi couldn’t help but sigh.

In Lin Qi’s opinion, the difficulty of conquering this singularity is actually much higher than that of the first singularity.

As long as you complete the main mission of finding Siegfried in the French singularity, you have already won half the battle. If all else fails, you can still use Teacher Qiao to help.

But what about this singularity? It’s hard to say that it has any key tasks that must be completed before the final battle.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s just that the gap in combat power is ridiculously large, and there is no such thing as a sure win as long as you fight for it.

Think about what the opponent is? The God-Ancestor Romulus, a Demon Pillar, and Attila who may appear at the end, plus various possible servants that may appear before…

Lin Qi got a headache just thinking about it.

In contrast, we.

Lin Qi admitted that with Lu Bu’s fighting ability, he could fight anyone, but the problem was that he was a berserker!

If a real fight breaks out, I guess he won’t listen to other people’s orders.

As for Spartacus…

Lin Qi could only say that the impression he had from a certain anime was too deep. He was teased around like a pet, and except for the fierce explosion at the end, he didn’t have the demeanor of a heroic spirit at all.

And the crucial Boudica did not join Nero’s team.

“With this analysis, Your Majesty, are you too confident…?”

Lin Qi couldn’t help but think back to what Nero said yesterday.

There was no intention to blame Nero. After all, Lin Qi was afraid that putting this script in front of Nero would break her faith, so she simply mentioned that the final battle would be difficult and did not go into details.

Lin Qi sat worriedly on the small chair next to the two Berserkers, constantly thinking about how to win.

‘Alas, I still like Red Hare…’

The Red Hare with the help of Lu Bu’s spiritual power is much more useful than Lu Bu himself, isn’t it?

Thinking of this, Lin Qi couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like if the Red Hare followed him.

Suddenly, a big, broad hand gently placed on Lin Qi’s head.

Lin Qi was slightly stunned and looked up.

Spartacus stretched out his hand at some point and was carefully touching his head.

“Weakling! Don’t be afraid. This sword will help you clear away all oppressors!”

Spartacus carefully controlled the strength in his hands, fearing to hurt Lin Qi in the slightest.

With his other hand, he swung twice a large sword that was much smaller than his body.

It was as if bells were ringing in my mind.

Lin Qi woke up.

Depend on–

What on earth was I thinking?! How could I, as someone like me, look down on a true hero?

Although he did not express what he was thinking, guilt still filled Lin Qi’s heart in an instant.

I actually subconsciously judged a hero who left his name in history just because of a weird anime…

I am a ■■!

Lin Qi cursed himself inwardly and quickly calmed down.

Look at Spartacus solemnly.

“Then let us fight together! Let’s defeat the oppressors together!”

Hearing Lin Qi’s words, Spartacus smiled brightly and patted Lin Qi on the back gently.

Lin Qi was also infected by Spartacus’ smile, and the gloom just now was swept away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

“Oh? From the looks of you two, you seem to be having a good chat.”

A black-haired woman dressed in white walked over.

He also held a jug of wine in his hand.

“Spartacus wasn’t so excited when he met other people.”

When the woman said this, Spartacus still kept the smile on his face.

As if agreeing with what she said.

“Ms. Jing Ke?”

Lin Qi recognized the identity of this rare Shenzhou servant in the game at a glance.

“Huh? You know me?”

Jing Ke paused in his drinking motion and looked at Lin Qi in confusion.

“I guess so……”

“emmm…”

Jing Ke moved closer to Lin Qi and looked at him carefully.

“…So he’s from Shenzhou, no wonder.”

Jing Ke nodded in understanding.

“It was just a failed assassination. I didn’t expect so many people would know about it. Sigh…”

Jing Ke took a sip of wine depressedly.

“Maybe it’s because the First Emperor is very well-known. He was the first emperor to unify China, and you were the one who almost succeeded in assassinating him, so you naturally know a lot.”

Lin Qi pondered for a moment and said.

“Huh? Should I thank that guy for giving me fame? …Although I have to admit that he did make a good start.”

Jing Ke first pointed at himself in disbelief, then became even more depressed after thinking about it carefully.

However, no matter how well the First Emperor did afterwards, if Jing Ke had the chance to go back to the past, he would still assassinate him without mercy.
