Just when Gao Muming decided to secretly raise his vigilance because of the reminders from others in the chat group, a figure quietly came in front of Gao Muming.

Sensing someone approaching, Takagi Akira subconsciously clenched his spear and then suddenly opened his eyes. The fierce light in his eyes flashed away after he looked into the somewhat embarrassed Jeanne's eyes.

"Well...it's late at night now, it's your turn to keep watch..."

Jeanne said as she raised her hand and scratched her cheek.

Gao Muming nodded, walked to the fire and sat down, adding a few dead branches to the campfire.

"Leave the second half of the night to me, and you should go and get some rest..."

Jeanne shook her head and sat down next to Takagi Akira.

"No need. Although I am only a half-baked Servant, I still have the basic ability of a Servant - the ability to not need sleep."

"Even if your body as a Servant is fine, you will feel tired mentally, right?"

As he spoke, Takagi Akira looked at Jeanne.

"What's more, you were admired and respected by the people not long ago, but now you are resisted and feared by the people you protected during your lifetime. This feeling of disparity must be very uncomfortable, right?"

"Mr. Takagi Akira, you and Mashu are both very gentle people. There's nothing we can do about it. It's only a few days since I was killed, and then I was resurrected and led the dragons to slaughter them. It's natural for them to be afraid..."

As she spoke, Joan of Arc raised her head and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, with a hint of loneliness in her tone.

"However, I still feel a little disappointed that they mistook me for the 'me' who summoned the dragon to wreak havoc on France..."

……

The next morning, after a simple breakfast, in order to be ready for possible attacks at any time, the group cautiously moved towards Orleans.

Led by Joan of Arc, a local hero, they headed straight towards La Charité, a city outside Orleans.

When they arrived not far from Lasharittai, Gao Muming frowned as he looked at the red glow in the sky in the direction of their advance.

Ritsuka noticed that Takagi Akira had stopped and asked Takagi Akira.

"Takagi Akira, you suddenly stopped. Did you find something?"

After hearing Ritsuka's words, Mashu immediately raised her shield and stood beside Ritsuka in a protective posture.

While Mashu was looking around, Takagi Akira spoke with a somewhat grim expression.

"It's already bright today. Don't you think there's something wrong with the crimson sky ahead?"

After hearing what Gao Muming said, several people looked up at the sky in the direction of Lasharitai. When they found that the sky in the direction of Lasharitai was just as Gao Muming said, their faces looked a little ugly.

"From what I have learned from my time on the march and in battle, there is only one thing that could cause such a sight in broad daylight - a big enough fire."

At this point, Jeanne realized that something had happened to La Charité and an anxious look appeared on her face.

"Something happened in La Sharitei... Please help me, go to La Sharitei and rescue the people there..."

"Wait a minute, I think you need to think about it again."

Olga Marie's somewhat serious voice interrupted Joan of Arc's request.

"It's too risky to rush over directly. You might run into the Black Jeanne who attacked La Sharite. Your current combat power is simply not comparable to the Black Jeanne who has an army of flying dragons."

"You should also know what kind of fire it is to ignite a flame that dyes the sky. In this case, I can almost conclude that there are not many people left in La Sharita..."

"So my suggestion is to bypass La Sharitai and go to other surrounding cities to obtain intelligence."

"Reason tells me that your proposal is correct, but I really can't watch the people of La Shalitai being slaughtered like this... I will go to La Shalitai alone..."

Before Jeanne could finish her words, Ritsuka had already bypassed Mashu who was protecting her with a giant shield and ran towards La Sharite.

Olga Marie, who noticed that Ritsuka was heading in the direction of Lasarita, immediately changed her expression.

"Ritsuka, wait a moment..."

After realizing that Ritsuka had no intention of stopping, Olga Marie's somewhat exasperated voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"This is the director's order!!"

"Now is not the time to think about those things. There is no time to waste. I am in a hurry to rescue people in Lasaritai... I will deal with the rest after I rescue the people. By then, I have no objection to how long you want to teach me..."

Seeing everyone rushing towards La Sharité, Olga Marie, who was standing in front of the monitor, kicked her legs in dissatisfaction and then turned to look at Roman.

"Since we can't stop them, let's support them with all our strength. Romani, make every effort to explore in the direction of La Sharite and provide as much intelligence support as possible to Ritsuka and the others."

"No problem, leave it to me."

As the distance between everyone and Lasharité continued to shorten, the burning city came into their sight.

The moment Gao Muming saw the burning Lasharittai, he subconsciously complained.

"My goodness, this is as mad as the ones in Fuyuki City..."

At the same time as Takagi Akira's complaints, Roman's somewhat surprised voice was heard.

"I have detected the reactions of multiple Servants in the direction of Lasaritai... They are moving very fast and are moving away from you..."

"He's moving away from us?"

Joan of Arc, who was also heading towards La Charité, immediately gave her own analysis after hearing Romani's words.

"It seems that the other party has not discovered us. This should be considered good news. Black Jeanne d'Arc, like me, has not fully acquired the ability to perceive Servants as a Judge."

"We don't have to worry about lone Servants being eliminated one by one by 'Black Jeanne'. After rescuing the people of La Charité, we can try to search the cities around Orleans to find lone Servants to increase our own combat power."

Although she said inspiring words, the expression on Joan of Arc's face was extremely ugly, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.

"La Sharitai was attacked and burned by multiple Servants. I'm afraid there are only a few survivors..."

With this thought in mind, Gao Muming and his companions rushed into Lasharittai at the fastest speed despite the high temperature.

Looking at the burning ruins where there were no living creatures except wandering zombies and wyverns, the faces of the few people were extremely ugly.

Without any warning, Gao Muming immediately raised his gun and rushed towards the zombies.

While Takagi Akimashu and Jeanne were fighting against the zombies and wyverns that were surrounding them, Ritsuka carefully observed the battle situation and was ready to provide support at any time while loudly asking Romani to scan Lasarite's life responses.

After Takagi Akira, Mashu and Jeanne worked together to capture the zombies and the wyverns as quickly as possible, Romani, who was in charge of searching for survivors, brought everyone an extremely cruel news.

"Except for Li Xiang and his group, no signs of human life have been detected in the entire Lasharittai."
