Having said this, the soldier lowered his voice with a grim look on his face in order to prevent the soldiers following behind him from hearing.

"However, I can understand Lady Jeanne's anger towards us, led by the King, who betrayed her."

"When I saw Lady Joan of Arc, who had made a deal with the devil and came back to avenge us, I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction deep in my heart. At the same time, I was relieved that Joan of Arc would also harbor resentment against her."

"Perhaps somewhere in my heart I also feel relieved that Joan of Arc, who was betrayed and died by us, was not a true 'saint'."

Mashu was stunned for a moment when she heard the soldier say this, and asked back out of curiosity.

"We should have just met, right? Why do you want to tell me so much?"

Hearing Mashu's question, the soldier stopped and looked at Mashu with a complicated expression, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

"Maybe it's because your eyes and temperament are very similar to Jeanne d'Arc when I first met her..."

After a moment, the soldier's very soft whisper reached Mashu's ears.

Just when Mashu didn't know how to respond, everyone arrived at the entrance of the fortress.

Gao Muming and the other two were surprised to find that when they questioned the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the city, the other party just glanced at them who were following the soldiers, and then turned their heads away as if there was nothing worth paying attention to and paid no more attention.

Seeing the guard's appearance, the soldiers who came back with Gao Muming and others immediately started shouting loudly.

"The dragon is coming. If you don't want to be eaten by the dragon, you better cheer up and prepare for the battle..."

"Come again..."

"No, I really can't move..."

"Lord, is this your punishment for us?"

Just as the mood of despair was spreading in the fortress, the soldiers in charge of observation on the fortress suddenly shouted.

"Good news. The flying dragon seemed to be attracted by something and changed its flight path. It flew towards the forest not far away. We are saved temporarily..."

"Mashu, what are they talking about? The soldiers gave me a feeling that they went from murderous to decadent in an instant."

Ritsuka, who didn't understand what the soldiers were saying, looked at Mashu, who was shocked by the sight of everyone in the fortress with injuries, and asked.

"Hmm? Oh, they said the dragon was attracted by something and flew to the nearby forest..."

"I was wondering why a flying dragon that moves so fast couldn't catch up. It looks like its attention was attracted by other targets."

At this moment, Romani's voice, which had been silent for a while because he went to check the situation, sounded again.

"According to my detection, the spiritual vein closest to you is not far away. However, we have detected a large number of large animal spiritual bases near the spiritual vein, as well as a suspected spiritual base of a Servant..."

When he said this, there was a hint of confusion in Romani's voice.

"Suspected Servant?"

"The spiritual base reaction that cannot be detected is very weak, and the spiritual base he possesses is not any of the seven major occupations we know of... If the other party did not have a special spiritual base belonging to a Servant, I would have doubted whether the other party was really a Servant."

"In other words, a Servant used himself as bait to lure away the flying dragon that was about to attack the fortress..."

Takagi Akira pondered for a moment and then looked at Ritsuka.

"Ritsuka, do you want to help the other person?"

"I am inclined to help. The 'Dragon Witch' who has returned from the dead as mentioned by the soldiers is at least one of the reasons for this singularity. The servants who are opposite to her are all the partners we are striving for."

"And as a Heroic Spirit that manifested in a singularity, when it was summoned, it should have been given basic information about the singularity that we don't know..."

"Compared to these soldiers who have a hard time obtaining new information, it would be more helpful for our exploration if we could get in touch with that unknown Servant."

"It just so happens that the location of the spiritual vein is in the same direction, let's rush over there."

After making the decision, Takagi Akira and the other two ran towards the direction where the unknown servant was fighting the flying dragon.

Not long after, Gao Muming and the other two saw a blonde girl named Jeanne d'Arc waving a flag in her hand, dodging the attacks of the wyvern by moving around and fighting back.

Seeing Takagi Akira and his men rushing over with weapons, Jeanne d'Arc showed a look of joy on her face and quickly called out to the three of them.

"To the reinforcements over there, please pick up your weapons and fight with me!"

The wyverns, noticing that Gao Muming and the other two were approaching, immediately sent some of them to rush towards Gao Muming and the others.

Looking at the wyvern flying towards him rapidly, a cold light flashed in Gao Muming's eyes, and the barrier magic was instantly deployed, with a raised barrier suddenly appearing in front of the wyvern.

Several wyverns that had no time to change direction crashed directly into Gao Muming's barrier at an extremely fast speed. Except for a few wyverns that quickly turned their heads to escape, almost all the wyverns that attacked Gao Muming and the other two became blind in an instant.

In an instant, the screams of the wyverns whose eyeballs were pierced resounded through the sky. Ritsuka, who was disturbed by the screams of the wyverns, quickly covered his ears.

"It's so noisy!"

Looking at the wyverns that were opening their mouths wide and trying to spit out flames randomly, Gao Muming had an idea, and several barriers appeared at the chins of the wyverns, leaving the blind wyverns unable to spit out flames in vain.

Gao Muming and Mashu seized the opportunity and swung their weapons with all their strength to finish off the wyverns. Soon, the wyverns that came over to try to attack Gao Muming and the other two were easily dealt with by Gao Muming and Mashu.

After solving the troubles on their side, Takagi Akira and Mashu came to Jeanne's side. With the restrictions of Takagi Akira's barriers that appeared from time to time in front of the wyverns' eyes, under their mouths, and above their wings, they successfully wiped out all the wyverns.

As the last wyvern was killed, Jeanne folded up the flag and thanked Takagi Akira and the other two.

"Thank you so much. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to deal with these wyverns so easily."

"You're welcome. You are a servant, right?"

"Yes, I am a Servant in the Judgement class. My real name is Jeanne d'Arc."

Upon hearing Jeanne reveal her identity, Mash cried out in surprise.

"Joan of Arc? The dragon witch?"

In response to Mash's reaction, Jeanne gave a wry smile and explained.

"No, although it should be 'Jeanne of Arc', you and I are not the dragon witch you are talking about."

"I was summoned just a few hours ago, and what's worse is that there are problems with my summoning that I don't even understand."

"Not only is the small size of the spiritual base causing its own abilities to decline, but a large portion of the knowledge that should have been acquired when summoned is missing, and even the abilities that come with being a judge are missing."
