It was dark, deep, and slightly damp. Although there was a crowded field between a wall outside, Linda, who was in a corridor inside the castle, heard no sound. Only the strange pictures on the wall and the slightly bloody moisture in her nose reminded her that she was in the enemy's realm at this time.

But it was not these that made her most uneasy, but from the beginning of her arrival, the entire castle was shrouded in a strange silence. In addition to the sound of her own footsteps, this made her, who was a little afraid of "ghosts", remained nervous. This was also her few unknown weaknesses, and even Artoria didn't know...

"Is this the legendary ghost castle of the corpse Xuan Ji's...?"

The torch like a candle in the wind can only shine within one meter at most, so most areas of the corridor are in a dark state, holding a Western sword carved with angels. Linda walked carefully while constantly experiencing a lot of surrounding environments.

But what disappointed her was that there was nothing on both sides of the entire corridor except for unknown entrances that looked like the gates of hell. In this case, she obviously could not walk into any entrance rashly.

Drop ~ Drop ~ Drop ~

Suddenly, just as Linda tried to work hard to get to the end, the crisp silence suddenly broke the corridor, and even all the torches around her trembled due to this sudden change.

"Bridget!?"

As soon as he heard this tweet, Linda immediately took out a palm-sized object from the storage bag on her belt, similar to a silver object in the handset. The sound just now was not a reminder of the communication crystal, but this short-distance communication device from the Silver Federation, somewhat similar to the ring of Yue Yulou.

"Linda! Are you there?"

"Brigit! Where are you now?"

Hearing the voice of his close friend, Linda's originally uneasy heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

"I don't know where I am, it's a bit similar to a restaurant, but Linda...I want to tell you a bad news, Edwina and Hui have been defeated."

"What!? Why so fast?"

"They sent me a message a minute ago, saying that they had encountered intercepting by two opponents, and they were probably not opponents at all... There was no news since then."

"Damn it! Those women actually use such despicable means!"

With a hard hit on the wall, Linda's face was full of unwillingness. She was already quiet and her heart was already filled with anger.

"Will you be safe now Bridget?"

"Fortunately, I met Lisa just now and am staying with her now. Why don't we meet up first?"

"Well, that's right, but we are not familiar with this place. Where should we meet?"

"That's it...well!"

Suddenly, Bridget's painful groan came from the other end of the communication equipment, and a faint sound of the sharp weapon stabbing into the sky, as well as a tender laughter...

"What's going on!? Bridget! What happened!"

But no matter how Linda shouted, no words came from the opposite side. Only a faint metal impact occasionally came from the communication instrument.

"Linda..."

After a long time, when Linda, who was slumped on the ground, was already a little discouraged, the familiar voice came from the opposite side of the communicator again, but Bridget seemed very weak at this time and said nothing.

"Brigit! Are you okay? What happened just now?"

"Linda, you... listen to me... After that, no matter what you meet... no matter who you meet, don't believe that the other party is... a team member. We will definitely not... it is impossible to meet in this place. Everything... is under the control of the other party..."

"What don't believe? What can't be met? What are you going to say about Bridget?"

"Just...I was sneak attacked by a little girl disguised as Lisa."

"What!? It doesn't matter?"

"Haha, it's okay, it's just a sword in my stomach... but I didn't let the other party feel better. She absolutely didn't expect... I would put a second sword in my arm armor. Now... the other party has at least defeated one person, and it's not too embarrassing."

"Briggit..."

"Linda, I guess we all lost. We may have to rely on you to fight alone in a while... Remember, don't..."

Before he could say the last words, he heard a faint gust of blood, and the communication equipment suddenly fell into silence, but after a while, a sound came from the opposite side, but it was just the sound that Linda wanted to hear the least...

"Captain Linda, are you satisfied with the Youmei Pavilion? If there is any inappropriateness, I hope you will forgive me~~"

"Zi Ji! You have the ability to fight one-on-one! What's the point of hiding in your own nest!"

Without thinking, Linda could already foresee what the ending would be for Bridget to face the powerful Zi Ji, but her angry voice was exchanged for a relaxed teasing...

"Yoyo~~~What a righteous knight, my heart beats up... But don't forget that we are neither knights nor real men, nor fools like you, and you also want to thank us."

"Hmph! Coward!"

"Don't you? Do you really think you can defeat us on the grassland? I can tell you this way, on the Yashan Continent... except for the seven demon-level powerful men, no player can defeat us. Even without the Youmei Hall, you will still lose miserably... I also isolated your ugly appearance of failure. You don't want to be defeated in front of so many people, right? What's more, in front of your president..."

"you!"

When Linda heard the other party talk about her president, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and her expectations were soon realized...

"Originally... we wanted to collapse under the attention of everyone, but... Haha, it's not just this one after all, right? And your president should be with the Sky Demon now, right? I believe... Even if everyone in Yashan can't see what's going on here, she will definitely see it."

"Impossible! How could you know..."

"Tsk tsk, why do you think we do this? We are not entrusted by others. As for that person... you don't need to know."

Before he finished speaking, Linda felt the ground under her feet begin to tremble violently, and she couldn't stand and sat down on the ground. The inside of the castle began to change drastically, but outsiders were still confused, and the scolding never stopped, but it did not work...

Off the field, as Zi Ji said, thanks to Yue Yulou's clever ears and eyes, and the Void Guardian, Artoria can see clearly everything that happened in the Youmei Hall (let's call it like this), including how her beloved men were defeated and humiliated...

Strictly speaking, although the facts are cruel, Artoria can see clearly. Even if there is no need to attack, the strength of the Round Table Knights and Zi Xuanji is not on the same level. The other party just sent a little girl named Hanako, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, and defeated the three team members of the Round Table Knights.

The girl basically has no lethality, but the ghost dolls she controlled were extremely terrifying. Not only did they come with a large amount of curse halo, one of them (Yue Yulou) said that the Black Death Monster, who condensed ten thousand souls, also had the ability of [Instant Death Technique]. According to Hanako, that "doll" was given by an old man in a gray councillor who was wearing a purple cloak and unable to see clearly. He heard Yue Yulou rolling his eyes. He couldn't understand why those old and undead guys suddenly turned into loli control...

In the hands of these girls, various undead equipment of the legendary level appeared in front of the two of them as if they were not worth it, making Yue Yulou increasingly doubt whether there was any huge problem with the aesthetics of the entire race in the cemetery, but his doubts could not change anything. The members of the Round Table Knights team quit the game one after another in a nearly defeat. If Bridget had not taken advantage of the opponent's slacks and stabbed the enemy's heart with the light-type sword hidden in his arm armor, it would have been terrible 12-0.

But it was not these things that bother Yue Yulou even more, but another thing, another thing that he might not be able to face or even solve...

"Daisy, um..."

Looking at the suffocating expression on the beauty's face, Yue Yulou didn't know what to say.

Because based on Zi Ji's previous words, he had already guessed who the so-called "custodian" would be...

"Sus, it's not your business. I know what you want to say, and I know who asked Zi Ji to provoke it."

As he said that, although there was still an atmosphere on Artoria's face, a rare sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth...

"If they thought this would hit me, that would be nothing more than that... Since I chose you, I would have been mentally prepared. I know more than anyone how terrifying a woman's obsession is."

"Uh...sorry, I..."

"Sus, sorry, don't say this. This matter has nothing to do with you. You'd better not interfere, because I know you... let's solve it ourselves."

“……………………”

It was Yue Yulou's turn to remain silent. He really didn't know what to say. Faced with such a problem, even if he had the energy that could reach the sky and the earth, he was helpless.

"Linda and the others are all good. Even if they lose, there is nothing to be angry about. I... will not let you succeed, never!"

Seeing the fortress changing violently in the picture, Linda's dark corridor quickly turned into a huge round courtyard, and the sarcastic smiles on the faces of eleven undead girls, Artoria slowly clenched her fists, with endless fighting spirit in her heart.

In the near future, another even more tragic war will slowly kick off in the deep powerlessness of Yue Yulou...
