Last time, when they were at Fuyuki Singularity F, they encountered these skeleton soldiers several times on their way to Mount Enzo.
Maren saw it for the third time, having also seen it once in the original world.
"Old man, what do we do now? Do you need help?"
As Mashu watched the soldiers constantly resist the attacks of the skeleton soldiers, getting injured or even dying from time to time, she quickly asked Marne what was wrong.
Ma En nodded: "The repair of singularities lies in eliminating anomalies; these things are not normal existences no matter how you look at them."
"Go! Unleash your full potential and wipe them out!"
The moment he gave the order, Mashu rushed forward, followed closely by Black Hair and Lanling King.
Gudako and Hinako Akuta also began to prepare magic, providing remote support.
Thanks to the upgrade of her combat suit Mystic Code and several days of practice, Gudako can now use some magic, but they are all programmed magic applied to her Mystic Code.
However, she is still not to be underestimated. Through the proxy of her costume, 'Gandr' shots were fired from her fingertips, with considerable power, killing one skeleton soldier with each shot.
This was her first real-world experience, so she put in all her effort and managed to make the 'Gandr' pistol look like an automatic rifle.
However, his accuracy is poor, making him a "retired old man" with terrible aim and a tendency to miss. On average, he only hits once every four or five shots.
Fortunately, she was self-aware enough to only fight monsters that were far away from her own people; otherwise, it would have been hilarious if she had attacked her own teammates.
However, this state of hers did not last long, and she soon became somewhat listless.
It's not that she lacks magic power. This Mystic Code is connected to Chaldea, and the magical furnace there provides her with a massive amount of magic power, which is equivalent to being constantly connected to the Great Source. So, she will never lack magic power.
But the problem is, she's still a novice.
Her magic circuits haven't been activated for very long, so using them is already a bit uncomfortable. Plus, she's in a contract with Mash and is supplying her with magic power. If she keeps using magic, the accumulated discomfort will take a heavy toll on her.
This is why both Marne and Hinako Akuta summoned new Servants, but she alone did not.
This level of strain on her magic circuits is already her current limit; she can't handle any more for now, as she needs to save some for casting spells.
Ma En remained silent, simply observing.
This is a great opportunity for practical experience, and it will be a valuable learning experience for both Mashu and Gudako.
With two powerful heroic spirits, Black Hairless and Lanling King, already assisting, these few skeleton soldiers pose no threat at all. If he were to make another move, it would only prevent the two newbies from having a chance to show their skills.
With the help of Mashu and the others, the skeleton soldiers were quickly wiped out.
Black Hairless and Lanling King made the greatest contributions, each of them taking down more than three hundred, almost like harvesting leeks.
Mashu isn't too bad either, with a score of over 180, close to 200, which is quite good for a new-generation Demi-Servant like her.
Akutako is also good, with nearly a hundred of them, but Gudako is a bit weak, with only twenty or so.
Although the soldiers killed fewer enemies, that's why they were busy retreating.
But precisely because they retreated, there weren't many casualties in the battle. Only about ten unlucky guys who were ambushed at the beginning died, and there were basically no deaths afterwards, but many were injured.
The skeleton soldiers are much stronger than normal people. It takes at least three or four of these soldiers to kill one of them. In addition, they are busy retreating and can't pay much attention to anything else, so many of them are injured.
"...Are you really not enemies?"
After this quick battle, the fortress sent out a few more people to make contact with Marne and the others.
The captain, who was leading the group, looked at Ma En and the others with a somewhat complicated expression.
They had been so suspicious of Mar and his group before, but in the end, it was Mar and his group who saved them.
To be honest, when that wave of skeletons appeared just now, they were filled with despair.
Because they no longer had the strength to resist an enemy of this size, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to retreat to the fortress to fight them.
"Let bygones be bygones."
Marne stepped forward and took over the position of negotiator from Mashu.
"To put it in a way you can understand, we come from the future to deal with the anomalies here. Now we need to understand the situation here, so please cooperate and answer our questions."
Chapter 251 Don't be ungrateful, Wyvern attacks, Joan of Arc appears.
"Now we need to understand the situation, and we hope you won't be ungrateful and will obediently answer our questions."
Marne said in an unquestionable tone.
"..."
The soldier captain's lips twitched twice, and the others were also speechless, somewhat exasperated by Maren's domineering attitude.
However, the soldier captain ultimately didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether Mar and the others are truly from the future, as long as they have no hostility, simply answering their questions will not cost them anything; it can be considered as repaying their earlier assistance.
"So, what's this about the Dragon Witch you just mentioned?"
Although Marne had this part of the cloud data and roughly knew what this singularity was all about, he still pretended not to know and asked.
"It's Joan of Arc. She was resurrected after being executed and took revenge on Flamsey. First, she burned the king to death, and then this tragic scene is what you all saw."
"To be honest, we were quite angry when we first heard that Lady Joan of Arc had been captured and burned at the stake. But then we heard that she had been resurrected and made a deal with the devil..."
As the soldier captain said this, his expression fell, filled with regret.
"21 How is that possible?! How could a saint like him make a deal with the devil? Revenge is out of the question, it's simply impossible!"
Olga Marie's exclamation came through the communication, followed by Roman's echo: "Yes, how could a saint like Joan of Arc do such a thing? There must be some misunderstanding."
"Perhaps this is the cause of this singularity."
Gudako rubbed her chin and offered an analysis.
Because Mashu had already explained the history of this era to her on the way, she didn't ask questions like "Who is Joan of Arc?"
"Making a deal with demons? Was it those skeleton soldiers from earlier?"
Mashu seemed to realize something and asked the soldier captain.
This era was still quite feudal and superstitious, for example, people regarded those skeleton soldiers as the dead.
But in reality, it wasn't a ghost, but a kind of puppet made from a human body. In modern times, it has been distinguished from a real ghost skeleton. The two are not the same thing; they only resemble each other, but are fundamentally different.
The soldier captain shook his head: "It's not that kind of thing. We can handle those undead, but..."
Just then, a roar suddenly came from the distant sky.
"Roar~!"
The soldier captain's expression suddenly changed.
"Damn it! Those beasts are here again!"
He shouted into the fortress, "Prepare for battle! Hurry up! We're here! If you want to die, get moving!"
Then he quickly ran back.
Roman, in the communication, hurriedly said, "Large biological reaction detected, rapidly approaching! At what speed?! Be careful!"
"I can see it now." En looked at the distant sky, where a dozen or so small dots were gradually getting bigger.
Mashu saw it too, and her eyes widened in shock.
"That's... a wyvern!? How could there be a subspecies of dragons in this era of Flamsey!?"
Although it is a subspecies, it is still a dragon species, the most mysterious type of fantasy creature. Such creatures should have disappeared with the demise of the Age of Gods!
"This is a singularity; anything can happen. Let's not worry about that now and prepare for battle. This time, it won't be as easy as those weak skeletons we just encountered."
As Marne said this, he had already drawn his weapon, Excalibur.
At the same time, golden ripples spread around him, and various weapons from the Gate of Babylon emerged, aimed at the sky, ready to be unleashed.
Seeing this, the others also took out their weapons and became vigilant.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere and came to the front of the fortress.
The newcomer was a blonde, blue-eyed girl. Her long blonde hair was braided and hung down her back. She wore a crown and carried a three-meter-long flag spear. The white flag was woven with patterns of irises.
"Warriors, splash water on yourselves. It may only be for a moment, but it will still be enough to keep them from being attacked by the flames."
She reminded the soldiers in the fortress of this.
Then he looked at Mar and the others.
"Gentlemen, let's fight them together! Let's go!"
As she spoke, she rushed forward first.
"...Who is she?"
The group of people on the other side were slightly stunned by her sudden attack.
"She is a follower. Because her reaction was very weak, we didn't detect her approach just now," Roman said in the message.
Ma En looked at the figure and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He naturally knew who this person was; it was Joan of Arc, whom the soldier had just mentioned, who had been executed not long ago.
Not the one who was 'resurrected,' but the real Joan of Arc, who had just descended from the Throne of Heroes.
However, Maen didn't say it outright. Instead, he said to Mashu and the others, "Never mind that for now, let's deal with these wyverns first."
At the same time, the weapons in the Gate of Babylon were fired, instantly knocking down half of the wyverns, but not killing them.
"Hi!" X5
Mashu, Black Hairless, and Lanling King also rushed forward, while Hinako Akuta and Gudako continued to provide support from the rear.
Marne did not step forward; instead, he took care of the two men and used Gate of Babylon to provide remote support, dealing with the Wyvern 460 in the air, shooting it down, and then killing the four men in front of him.
It's not easy to say, but it's actually quite easy.
The difficulty with these bipedal wyverns lies in their ability to fly, making them hard to deal with from the ground.
But with Marne in charge of shooting it down, things became much easier, and the few heroic spirits quickly killed it.
"Phew~ That scared me! I thought it was going to be really scary. My hands were sweating just now when I was holding the sesame bun, smack smack."
Upon hearing Roman's words after Mashu returned from dealing with the situation, she couldn't hold back any longer.
"Doctor! Yes, it's me, Sesame Seed!"
