Section 2: An Invasion by Huyan Zhuo and Huang Feihu

Good morning, everyone! You too, Leader!

？！

Hm? Is something wrong, Leader? You look sleepy.

？！

Times like that, the best thing you can do is eat!

Okay, everyone! Breakfast is ready!

Coming! I can't wait!

Well someone's in a good mood bright and early.

Anyway, Master, for what it's worth, I set up clappers to hold off any would-be invaders.

I would've liked to set up some snares too, but...

...I remember how a certain ally Servant kept tripping them under similar circumstances.

So I decided to just stick with warning traps this time.

That's smart. I bet Elly wouldn't waste any time tripping them herself.

She is a professional entertainer, after all.

Was someone just dissing me in here!?

Ah, should've, hmm, je touche du bois. ...Hm? Master, could I talk to you for a moment?

？！

Hmm. It's just a feeling, so it's hard to put into words, but...

...it looks like your soul is a little...out of place?

Yeah, your mind and your body are fine, but it seems like part of your soul isn't where it should be.

I think it's similar to what Ier, I mean, that other Molay...

...did to you during last year's Halloween.

？！

Excuse me, that's a huge deal!

Here, let me get a closer look at you.

That should do it.

This doesn't solve the underlying problem, but it should stop your entire soul from being pulled away.

Oh, this charm should help keep your soul safe, too. Voilà.

？！

I remember now. You were so cute like that, Senpai!

...Though of course, the situation itself was very serious.

It sure sounds like it. Though maybe I'm not one to talk in that regard...

Well, at any rate...

...as long as you have this charm, it should keep your soul safe. Think of it as a remote-controlled familiar.

Can you figure out who's causing this?

I don't know. That might be pretty tough.

I already whittled down the familiar's line of connection down as far as it could go with the adjustments I just made.

So, the enemy won't be able to acquire information on Fujimaru's, uh, body double then?

Exactly.

You know those dreams that feel incredibly real at the time, but that you then forget all about as soon as you wake up?

I think that's the only way whoever's doing this can tell what's going on with Fujimaru now.

But, the good news is that he should be fine even if his familiar gets completely trashed.

？！

So what do we do now, Leader!?

？！

You seeing any Rogue Servants around here, Mash?

Nothing nearby. I'm afraid we'll have to widen our search radius a little.

In that case, why don't we have one team of people stay here to guard the place, and another head out to recruit more allies?

Good idea.

In fact, let's go further and make it two expedition teams, to really expand our search radius.

We should be fine as long as there's at least one Servant per team.

I'll go with Leader!

Okay. Then Mata Hari and I will handle searching.

As for who stays behind...I think that should be the remaining three.

So we've gotta choose who we go with.

What do you think, Leader?

Sure thing. Thanks for coming with me, Elisa!

No problem!

Understood.

It'll be nice to have you along, Elisa the Nine-Tattooed Dragon.

I got this!

？！

All right, in the meantime, we should probably start sprucing this place up a bit.

Good idea. Just looking around, there are a lot of obvious repairs just waiting to be done.

And I'd also like to take more advantage of this place's existing natural defenses.

I'll handle the magecraft traps.

Hehehe... When I'm done, any would-be intruders won't have any idea what hit them!

...Could you at least try to set them up so our side doesn't have to worry about tripping them?

I'm sure whatever you decide on will be great. Okay, everyone, let's get going, shall we?

Hell yeah!

Hell yeah!

All right, we need to figure out how we're going to find these Rogue Servants.

If you don't mind letting me take point, I have an idea that I think should do the trick.

If Leader's fine with that, then so am I!

Thanks! Then our first stop...is the nearest tavern!

So what're we doing here, Mata Hari?

You'll see♪

Wow, this...at must...at most...at-muss-fear is really nice.

That's what I said!

That's not what I said at all.

You're really reaching there, pal.

？！

Okay, we're all set!

I asked the owner to let us have the place to ourselves for a while, and he agreed.

Huh? Does that mean...we're not here to drink?

No, we're not. We're here to work. All of us.

Whaaat!?

I think I'll grab myself some top-notch pirate cuisine today!

Hey, hey, it's me! Lord Teach, aka Blackbeard himself!

Now bring me some booze, some food, and one hundred girls who love love looove me!

Everything except the girls coming right up!

Huh? Did you do something with your hair, barkeep? And your gender?

And my personality, too. Aren't you a completely different person at that point?

Ah, yes. The Ship of Theseus question.

Well, look at you, being so literary minded. Here you go then, your first round.

Don't mind if I do♪

Ahhh! Now this is what makes being a pirate all worth it!

Yay, he drank the paralyzing wine!

I'll go ahead and tie him u

Mmf... Mmmfff!

Ah! He's fighting back! He shouldn't be able to move, though! And he's really strong, too!

Oh my. I guess we'll just have to make him settle down then.

How do we do that?

Why, with some tough love, of course. Some very, very tough, bordering on violent love♡

All right, let's just start with a casual stroll and see what we find.

It shouldn't take too long, especially with Chaldea's help.

Wow, this Chaldea place must be amazing!

By the way, Elisa, I know you don't have the Holy Grail yourself...

...but would you happen to know where it is?

Nope! But I'm pretty sure it's out there!

Hahaha, that's not much to go on, is it? But yes, I'm sure it is, too.

Master! Amakusa! Elisa! I've got a Servant signal!

!!!

Which way!?

West from your current position. All you have to do is keep heading straight.

I'm gonna go check 'em out!

Aah! She just ran off at top speed!

Dammit! Come on, let's go after her!

？！

...Phew...

I found you!!!

You're in good shape, Master, but I guess it's no surprise running this far as hard as you can still winded you.

Fortunately, it looks like we're here now.

Sorry, I guess I kinda jumped the gun! But it was worth it!

Oh? How so?

'Cause I found someone amazing to join us! Someone more amazing than anyone else ever!

Y-you don't say. That sounds like quite a find. And who might that be?

I'll introduce you! He's a, um, very-table funk of wisdom... (read: veritable font of wisdom)

An incredibly intelligent, super perfect outlaw who'd even have Wu Yong bowing down in awe...

Taigong Wang!

Hey there! I'm Taigong Wang!!!

？！

(What in the world are you doing, Mandricardo?)

(Oh, you know who I am? I guess we must've met during a Holy Grail War somewhere. 'Sup.)

(Anyway, what kind of hero would I be if I ruined a little kid's dream!?)

(How did this misunderstanding even happen in the first place!?)

(It's probably 'cause I was fishing!)

(I guess it makes sense that a member of the Elisabeth clan (?) would be quick to jump to conclusions!)

(Still, I understand how you feel, but if we don't clear this up now)

Now Mt. Liang's totally set! Yaaay!

(I don't have the heart to tell her...)

Hey guys, new guy included! We just picked up some hostile entities nearby. Watch your backs!

There they are. Capture those outlaws of Mount Liang!

Ooh, those are Imperial Soldiers! We've gotta kill 'em all!

Okay, Taigong Wang! Tell us what we should do!

I just know you'll come up with some kind of amazing strategy!

...Got it!

(Really?)

(I'm just gonna give it a shot and let the chips fall where they fall!)

(So what's your plan?)

(For now, let's just get 'em!)

...Um... What happened to me?

？！

Whoooa, thanks! That makes me feel a LOT better about my future prospects.

You were super-duper strong! Would you join us!?

Um, dancer lady? What would happen to me if I said "no"?

(Wordlessly moving her thumb across her throat)

Why, yes, I, will.

That's great!

It'd be really tiring if I had to torture every new recruit before they decided to join us!

Do you even hear yourself!? That's not something any so-called good guy should ever say!

Ah, whatever! Anyway, my name's Edward Teach! Nice to meet ya!

I'm Elisa the Nine-Tattooed Dragon!

Whoa! I don't know why, but my fists almost feel like they're burning now!

You got your very own Star of Destiny!

I knew you had what it takes to be an outlaw of Mount Liang, Blackbeard! This is great!

Nuhuhuhu.

Nobody ever praises me, so this is really nice.

Welcome back. We managed to find a new recruit, too.

'Sup.

I'm Mandricardo, a former scoundrel who got invited to join this place out of nowhere.

I also just felt myself glowing, like I got a Star of Destiny or something.

Former?

Well, uh... A long time ago, I...

Heh. Even if this is just a big stick...

...in my hands, it's a badass Durendal!

Are you okay!? You just coughed up what looked a lot like blood!

Sorry. I just got mortally embarrassed for a moment...

Are we sure we can rely on this bébé?

I'll be fine. I'm good at fighting.

I mean, I'm nowhere near as good as the greatest heroes of history or anything, but I can definitely handle myself better than your average newly recruited soldier, so...

Basically, I'm a little better than average on a good day!

I think you're being hard on yourself.

I'd agree with that.

Well, anyway, thanks for having me. So, uh, is there a place I should put my stuff?

Here, I'll show you.

Thanks. Hey... 'Sup...

He really doesn't like to stand out, does he!?

Wow, that was so easy! I knew you'd be great, Taigong Wang!

...Thanks!

Wh-whoa! Where's all this power coming from!?

And now you've got a Star of Destiny, too! Thanks for joining us!

Not at all. Thank you for having me! It's an honor!

All right, now that that's settled, why don't we head back to Mount Liang? We can start discussing strategy on the way, too.

Oh hey, you're back.

So you joined the team too, huh, Mandricardo? Guess you're a glutton for punishment just like me.

He outed him!?

What? What'd I say!?

So I jumped to conclusions way too quickly, huh. I'm sorry.

Ohh, now I get it.

I'm sorry for disappointing you. I really am.

Hey, you're not disappointing at all, Man... Man...

Mandi! We're glad you're here!

Th-thanks! (That's a nice nickname!)

While you all were gone, we worked on shoring up our defenses.

We should have at least some protection now from anything that wants to attack us.

Oh, and I joined the team, too. Nice to meet you!

？！

Mata Hari asked me if I wanted to "climb the grown-up stairs," so...♡

Ooh, I wanna do that, too!

Then let's all go up them together sometime♪

'Kaaay!

(I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean what either of them think it means, but I also get the feeling they're aware of that and are going with it anyway.)

Anywho!

Since we've got two new allies, we should throw another party tonight!

？！

B-Boss! Boss Elisa!

What's wrong!?

It's the Imperial Army! They're here!

What!? So, they've finally come!

Leader!

？！

Yeah! Everyone, battle positions!

Yes, Boss!

... ...

What is it?

Oh, uh, I was just wondering where my position is, Boss.

... ...

Oh no! I didn't think about that at all!

So NONE of you ever thought this might be an important thing to go over sooner!?

Okay, you two! Go man the western watchtower!

If anything happens, ring the gong to let us know immediately!

Yes, ma'am!

Next, you two...

Wow, this is amazing. It almost feels like we're going to war!

We are.

Huh?

Nnn, I don't think the Imperial Army's gonna go along with that, but if you wanna try...

Okay, I'll go on ahead and scout out the situation first.

Yeah, they're definitely not here to talk!

？！

Yeah! Let's!

I guess this marks the start of the war, then.

You come with me, Leader!

Then that just leaves the question of where to put our Servants. What are you thinking, Master?

Good idea.

Mandricardo, I'd like you to use your mobility to mess with the enemy, and Robin Hood, you find some clever ways to sabotage them.

Can you two handle that?

Hell yeah!

Got it. This ought to be way easier than building a fortress.

Good idea.

I'm probably the best choice to keep an eye on the big picture and give out orders as necessary.

Boudica could do that too, of course...but I think you two will be safer with her.

？！

Then I guess I'm going with you and Elly, Fujimaru.

I'm glad you are!

Aww, what a good girl.

Teehee.

(Though in just a few years, she'll be a Demoness of Fresh Blood who's clean off her rocker.)

What is it, Robin Hood? Are you worried about Elly?

Oh, no, it's not that... Or I guess...in a way, it is...?

Well, this Elly has another Spirit Origin mixed in with hers...and at a pretty deep level, too.

Hm?

Why else would she call herself "Nine-Tattooed Dragon"?

Hmm, good point.

And since Servants never grow or change, whatever she does as a child won't affect how she turns out later.

...Still, it's always good to hold on to hope.

If you say so...

I do.

Okay, people, enough chitchat! Let's get going!

...Phew. Now then.

What should we do, Commander? I mean, this is THE Mount Liang we're talking about.

Shouldn't we start by scouting it out?

Of course not.

The only sure way to ensure victory against them is to go all out from the start.

Now let's get going! Remember, no prisoners!

So you want us to kill everyone? Are you sure?

It'll take more than that to get rid of the Nine-Tattooed Dragon!

All hands, charge!

They're coming in a lot faster than I thought! This is going to be tough.

There's a lot of them, too!

Either way, all we can do now is hit them hard and slow them down!

Can you do this, Elisa?

Definitely!

Good. Okay then, time for us to do the same.

All hands, charge!

I'm not done yet!

Kill 'em aaall!

Ow, ow, ow! Sorry, but I'm getting out of here! (Dashing away)

I can't take it anymore, either! (Slipping away)

？！

Deserters! This kind of thing is why I hate bandits!

Well, you can't entirely blame them. Come on, let's use my chariot and fall back a little!

You're not going anywhere!

!!!

Tch. You're not from Mt. Liang!

Who are you!?

Boudica, Queen of Britannia! Now, who are you!?

I am Huyan Zhuo!

I am a hero who was summoned to destroy the blight that is Mount Liang!

Huh? No waaay!

Huyan Zhuo!? This is all sorts of wrong!

Minute Star, Shi Jin the Nine-Tattooed Dragon! I mean, Elisabeth Báthory!

At long last, I've finally found you! Now, I will bring Mount Liang crashing down around you!

Ghh!

You're wide open!

You sure about that?

Damn! This guy's just as strong as that Huyan Zhuo person!

Who are you!?

Now that you've shared your name, I suppose I must follow suit. I am known as Huang Feihu.

Huang Feihu... I thought I had told you to handle a different squadron.

It was obvious that this is where the enemy's forces are concentrated. Their momentum and morale are a cut above the others.

And above all, this is where it all comes to a head. Am I wrong?

...You are not.

If we can take out the Minute Star of Heaven here, Mount Liang will fall with her!

...I understand that you really are Huyan Zhuo. But I don't understand why you're doing this.

Of course you wouldn't. You're only a child! Now, come, Huang Feihu!

Tell me why you're doing thiiis!

Eeek!

？！

I-I'm okay... Neither me or Shi Jin are gonna give up without a fight!

Yes, well, I don't care for hurting children. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Are we really doing this, Huyan Zhuo?

Of course.

Still, I can understand where you're coming from, Huang Feihu.

So I'll deal the final blow. You can focus on holding the others back.

Understood.

...Shi Jin.

The truth is, I have a great deal of things I'd like to discuss with you.

But...those will have to wait until this is all over.

Khh...

Forgive me!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't you think that's going a little too far even for you, Huyan Zhuo?

...You.

I am Yan Qing! I am the thirty-sixth of the Heavenly Spirits, and the one known as Skillful Star!

？！

Hey there, Fujimaru. Are you ready to receive a second round of Servants!?

'Cause I'm sending one your way right now!

？！

This time, I'm sending Don Quixote, Zenobia, Houzouin Inshun...

...and of course, if Mount Liang is involved, you-know-who's gotta be part of this, too!

Hrn! I am Don Quixote de la Mancha!

Now come, and let us have a good, clean fight!

Eep! I'm sorry for running away!

Sir, I think this man is actually on our side.

Khh... Get them!

Good grief.

I suppose I won't have much time to enjoy Halloween then. Still, I suppose I do owe her for last year's.

Fire at will, and rejoice!

Aaagh!

Hrn! If any of you wish to fall to my blade, come and step forth!

I-it can't be... Lu Zhishen!?

Hahaha. We may both be monks, but our fighting styles are a bit different.

However, I can promise you this: my spear is just as sharp as his khakkhara is strong!

S-Sir! I have a report!

Servants have appeared and halted our assault in its tracks!

Huyan Zhuo.

...!

So, what're you gonna do now? ...Wait. Are you REALLY Huyan Zhuo?

You don't look anything like what I expected.

Me!? What about the Nine-Tattooed Dragon there!?

Well, that's technically still Elly, so...

And you think I chose to look like this of my own free will!?

Oh, whatever! I don't even care anymore! Come on, Huang Feihu, let's get out of here!

There's something our army still lacks. We'll return once we've obtained it!

Understood. Then let us retreat.

This army is strong. Though a few extra Servants coming in hardly makes a difference.

Oh yeah? Then why are you running off with your tails between your legs? If I were you, I'd just force my way through.

Consider it an aesthetic choice. Besides, Huyan Zhuo here has her own matters to worry about.

But that discussion can wait for another time. Until we meet again!

Did...did we win?

？！

Thanks!

Way to go, Boss!

Hehe, we did it! This makes getting injured totally worth it!

Hey, you're the two who ran off the first chance you got! As punishment, I order you to till the fields until you can no longer stand up straight!

We're sorry! Please forgive us!

...I want to do a victory cheer, but...Huyan Zhuo...

Don't let that stop you, Elisa.

Whatever the circumstances, the fact is, you won. You need to celebrate that.

It's crucial for your soldiers' morale.

...Yeah, I guess you're right.

？！

Ehehe. Thanks, Leader!

Okay, everyone! All together now!

？！

We wooon!

To every Servant gathered here at Mount Liang, whether they be rogue or from Chaldea...

...I propose a toast. Cheers!

Cheeers!

Ahh, all's well that ends well! Although, I don't feel like I contributed to our victory all that much.

I promise you have nothing to worry about, sir. Now here, drink up.

Don't mind if I do then! Mmm, now that's some fine wine!

I had no idea this Rayshift would lead me to drink this good.

(Munch, munch...) Mmm. This is delicious. Did you make this, Boudica?

Oh, yes, I did the cooking. Thanks, Zenobia.

You know, we never got the chance at Chaldea, but I've been wanting to have a drink with you face-to-face like this.

Same here. Since we're both queens, I'm sure we'll either hit it off

Or end up trying to kill each other! Ahahahaha!

I, uh, think I'll just keep my distance over here...

That aside, this wine is exceptional. And you say we have an unlimited supply? That's amazing.

...Maybe I'll have a little more...

Of course, I'll need to be careful not to drink TOO much.

I certainly wouldn't want to get so intoxicated that I end up doing anything...immodest...

All right. Minute Star of Heaven, Lord Shi Jin. Elisabeth.

I'm sorry for the late introduction. I'm Yan Qing of Chaldea and the Skillful Star of Heaven, at your service.

Okay!

But anyway, enough stuffy formalities. ...I couldn't believe it when I saw Huyan Zhuo like that.

Me neither...

I was surprised to see what had happened to Shi Jin, too...but that was less of a shock.

I mean, it's pretty much a given by now that you're gonna cause some kind of nonsense around Halloween.

？！

So you're impressed with me, huh!

Yup, I sure am.

But as for Huyan Zhuo...that just doesn't seem right.

It's not 'cause of anything you did, right?

No, it's not.

May I say something?

I have some information from a certain professor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Um, let's see...

"I believe I may have an idea of what happened with Huyan Zhuo."

"She was supposed to be a brand-new, compound Servant consisting of Huyan Zhuo and the Phantom Spirit of the Empusa..."

"...but thanks to the Empusa's...unique temperament, her mental state ended up being far too frail."

"In terms of strength, she was more than sufficient, but overall..."

"...it pains me to say that, as a Servant, she was still a failure."

...And that's all he wrote.

A professor, huh...

Go ahead, Professor Moriarty.

Professor? ...You don't mean

She most certainly does, Yan Qing!

It seems my Shinjuku self was quite busy testing out all sorts of various gestalt Servants.

One of whom happened to be Huyan Zhuo.

She was combined with the Phantom Spirit of the Empusa:

A monstrous Phantasmal from Greek mythology said to resemble a beautiful woman with a copper leg.

She and Huyan Zhuo had excellent chemistry, figuratively speaking, and the resulting Spirit Origin was certainly strong.

But, she also had a significant weakness.

Namely, the Empusa...was mentally weak.

After all, even in their own legend, one need merely insult them to surprise them and make them run away!

So, does this mean

Indeed. My Shinjuku self rejected her, and employed you in her place.

And now, for some reason, Huyan Zhuo has been summoned there, to Mt. Liang.

Oh, I had nothing to do with it, of course. I've never been much for recycling.

All right, got it. Now go to hell, Professor.

Hahaha. Oh, I've been there before. Twice, no less.

...Okay.

Now I know why Huyan Zhuo looks like that. And it doesn't seem like she was any weaker in that form, either.

But then again, if she's mentally weak now, I guess that's a new disadvantage for her?

I hope so... But Huyan Zhuo was still one of the Five Tiger Gen-Rolls of Mount Liang, you know?

"Gen-Rolls"? ...Oh, you mean generals. Yeah, that's true. Huyan Zhuo was definitely one of them.

？！

Oh yeah, no question.

You know how they say crying kids'll clam up if they hear the name of someone scary? That was Huyan Zhuo the Iron Bian to a T.

Whether he was leading a battle or fighting in one, his skills were super top-notch.

Well yeah. Hierarchically, the Five Tiger Generals were just below Mount Liang's leader, Lord Song Jiang, and military strategists, like Master Wu Yong, the Knowledge Star.

They must've been super-duper strong if they got to command you guys!

...I wonder why they refused to join us...

Hey now, it could be worse.

The Huyan Zhuo I knew was also initially a member of the Imperial Army who attacked us.

Good point! I guess we just gotta kill 'em all then!

？！

Okay, I guess I can settle for half-killing them...

Hahaha. Now that's some scary potential foreshadowing.

...But then again, that's probably Shi Jin's personality showing through.

You're wrong. This is who she really is.

...Did someone just say something?

Nope! It, uh, must've been your imagination!

Oh. Okay.

Well anyway, the important thing's that we won today.

The enemy'll probably try to pull something else tomorrow, but for now, we've earned ourselves a break.

Yeah, good point.

Cheeers!

？！

At last... At long last...

...our Master has awakened!

？！

This is our camp. We've made a temporary retreat, and are preparing to deploy again later.

？！

？！

Ahh, my poor Master.

I'm so sorry I was only able to summon you in this form.

？！

Oh, yes. My apologies. I am Huyan Zhuo, an Assassin.

I'm a Rogue Servant who was summoned here to erase this Singularity.

？！

I don't know why you ended up in that form, but I do know that you are a Master.

Now, form a contract with me! Go on!

？！

I can't wait any longer! Now come on! Hurry up!

Form! A contract! With me!

Stop that. You're being much too pushy. Can't you see he's still getting his bearings?

Ulp.

I'm sorry she scared you, Master.

...Assuming you WERE scared. It's a little hard to tell, to be honest.

？！

I see. That's good to hear. Oh, yes, I'd better introduce myself as well.

My name is Huang Feihu.

I'm technically from the same country as Huyan Zhuo, but from a very different time period.

I heard he's also known as Prince Wucheng in the Investiture of the Gods. Pretty much everything he's done is praiseworthy.

I don't know about that. I have a few thoughts about what happened over the course of my life.

I don't think every decision I made was right, nor can I truthfully say I'm proud of everything I did.

I may technically be a prince, but it was more of a job title than anything else. I'd rather not be compared to other rulers known for their wisdom and benevolence.

So for this summoning, I'm happy to be treated like your run-of-the-mill warrior Servant.

If anything, Huyan Zhuo here is certainly stronger than me, given where we are right now.

You think I'm strong? ...Yeah, you're right. I'm the strongest Servant ever to exist!

I wouldn't go that far.

I'm the weakest, worst Servant ever to exist...

I never said that, either! Please stop taking everything to extremes, Lady Huyan Zhuo!

...Ahem. Sorry about that.

So, now that things have settled down...how about forming that contract?

？！

No way, not at all, I'm already a very strong Servant, you know, so forming a contract is just more reassurance, it's not like I'm in dire necessity or anything, and I can even take the lead if I have to!

... ...

？！

S-so what do you say...? I guess that's a no, huh?

I knew it! You won't take me because I'm not the real Huyan Zhuo! I'm really just some Servant mixed up with Empusa's Phantom Spirit!

My entire existence is worthless! Just being here burns the sea, ruins the land, and causes the sky to die!

... ...Aah! Why did I say that!?

Th-there she goes... Hmm. I do really think she's strong, but...

？！

I'm sorry. All I know is that it's some sort of monster from a foreign land.

However, my understanding is that Lady Huyan Zhuo was originally a man.

It seems that being entwined with this Empusa Phantom Spirit has made things very difficult for her.

Especially mentally.

She can be very...fragile. One moment, she'll be elated, only to find herself at rock bottom the very next moment...

？！

I see... So, what do you say?

？！

Really? That's grea

Thank you so much let's get to it then!

？！

I promise, Master, I'll protect you even if it should cost me my life!

But it won't, 'cause I'm super strong! Hooraaay♪

Hahaha. Anyway.

Now, we have a real shot at taking down Mount Liang.

Oh yes. We have plenty of soldiers to work with, too.

We can launch another assault on them tomorrow.

Okay, goodbye for now, Master. Thank you again for agreeing to help us!

？！

Hohoho. Hohohohoho. Little do they know that we have been helping them.

In the end, both Huyan Zhuo and Huang Feihu are still merely foolhardy daredevils.

They pose no threat to us whatsoever. Hohohohoho...

What about that magical energy?

Of course. I'm already sending it to the mountain.
