Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

The ground undulated, and bricks and stones flew everywhere.

Ota's greatsword flew up again, his feet leaning back as he rose with the rocks.

With a flick of his cloak, Charles summoned ten celestial daggers, now devoid of their original forms, from the chaotic battlefield. He stared disdainfully at the resentful Otta, and with a few leaps, caught the falling Lunova and Chloe, disappearing from the battlefield with the women.

With his face charred black and his chest ripped, Hedin returned to the battlefield.

They dug the unconscious Allen out of the ruts and then helped up the four Palums and Ota.

"Can you still stand up, wild boar?"

Ota shook his head, clutching the large amount of blood seeping from his abdomen, and nodded: "No problem."

"But... I'm sorry, because of my recklessness..."

Ota looked annoyed.

Lost again...

Although he was caught with low health this time, there was no doubt that he was pinned to the ground again.

Hedin raised his hand and slapped Otta across the face: "Why are you apologizing!?"

Ota looked up in astonishment.

Hedin's face was frosty: "We never bow down to anyone's decision! You are the one who needs to apologize!"

"Because you're too weak, you got crushed by a few weaklings! It's an insult to the goddess's honor!"

"You should apologize for your weakness! You stinking boar! Get your act together!"

Ota's eyes held a suppressed ferocity; he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Hegny carried the unconscious Allen on his back: "For the sake of the goddess, even if you are unwilling, you should put aside your selfishness."

"The enemy is very strong, and we should put aside personal grudges and unite against them."

Hedin raised his staff, pointing it at Ota's nose: "Don't even think about giving me a break! The battle has only just begun! The tactics will be decided by the 'Heroes,' we're only responsible for getting stronger!"

"Let's fight each other until that day comes!"

……

A moment later...

Central Park Command Center.

Finn has a new piece of intelligence in his hands.

"All the fairy soldiers have been wiped out; the Dis sisters are suspected to be alive; Allen has advanced to level 6; and the four Flame Gold brothers have advanced to level 5."

"The former leader of the Soma Familia, Chanis, has appeared, calling himself the Joker, and leading a new force into battle. He is the new ace of the Dark Faction."

The intelligence report mentions that the Dis sisters' personalities have changed drastically, and their combat power has also weakened, suggesting they may have been turned into puppets.

Finn's expression after reading the intelligence was quite interesting.

The upgrades of Eren and the four Flame Brothers essentially added 1 to 5 Level 6 characters to the city. This instantly created a terrifying power gap between them and the Loki Familia.

"Although I'm unwilling, at least the chances of winning the final battle have increased! This is the only good news we've had in a long time."

only……

“This Chanis…”

Finn recalls the report about Chanis's death.

It was a corpse burned beyond recognition; only the remnants of its clothing revealed its identity.

"Well……"

Finn recalled the incident where he imitated Loki.

"Looks like there's a really troublesome character over there... What's their objective this time?"

……

On the western city wall.

The cadres of the secret faction gathered here.

Valetta stared at the defeated Charles with a gloomy expression.

"Didn't I tell you not to act rashly? Don't act rashly! Why attack Freya's Familia under these circumstances?"

"Just wait for those people to wear down Finn and his men! Victory will be within our grasp!"

Charles gave a disgruntled snort: "A 'city siege'? Valeta, don't you know how many troops we have left?"

"Can a few fire stones and believers really hold the city walls?"

Valetta grabbed Charles by the collar, but was knocked back by the gray vibration.

Her expression shifted between anger and rage as she roared, "That's no excuse for losing ten soldiers without authorization!"

Witt and Olivas stared at Charles with equally unfriendly expressions, waiting for an explanation.

Charles snorted coldly: "With Ota in that state, even the fairy soldiers alone would have been enough to take him down! If their reinforcements hadn't been so quick, how could I have lost?"

He grew increasingly agitated, kicking a bystander away: "And you? 'Cage City'? You've gone mad with tactics? If you had joined me in the attack, and used your soldiers to tie down Orario's other reinforcements, I would have already destroyed Freya's Familia!"

"Damn it, I'm desperately trying to seize opportunities, ganking, carrying the team, and you guys are just AFK, and you still have the nerve to criticize me!?"

"Can't you provide support? Can't you kite? The enemy's main carry is almost dead and you're just watching? Do you even know how to play?!"

"You guys aren't actors hired by the other side, are you?"

Witt and Olivas were greatly shocked.

This analysis makes sense, doesn't it?

What's the point of a siege? To let Finn starve to death?

According to intelligence from scouts, Allen had already lost his fighting ability, Ota was on the verge of death, and the dwarves were all seriously injured. If there were extra forces to hold back the city's support, the current situation would be that Orario lost one level 6 and five pseudo-level 5s.

Such an exchange is not a loss, or rather, it's a huge gain.

Ultimately, the celestial soldiers are just consumables; you can just spend time training them again.

The enemy's lives are hanging by a thread, are you giving them a chance to breathe? Wait until they recover before fighting again? What kind of idiot came up with this idea?

Oh! Valetta, that's alright now!

Olivas was the most irritable: "The Joker is right! Instead of seizing opportunities, we choose to cower and wait for others to hand out victories. Is this the style of us evil followers?"

Witt narrowed his eyes: "Although we need to wait for the [Greatest Evil] monster to move, it's only a level 6 monster. If we can kill Ota, not only will our strength increase, but the city, having lost its ace, will have absolutely no chance of turning the tide!"

Charles glared at Valetta and sighed heavily, "Now we've not only lost ten Tier 1 fighters, but Orario will definitely become stronger. Valetta, this is the third time. What else do you have to say?"

Valetta took a step back in astonishment: "What, what does this have to do with me?!"

Victor and Olivas narrowed their eyes: "Need I say more? The last ambush plan also went wrong, and now, putting aside all the impossibilities, the remaining conclusion is that you colluded with the 'Hero'!"

“No, I didn’t!” Valeta roared. “It’s all because Finn is too cunning! Damn Palum, I’ll kill him!”

Charles pointed at Valetta: "And how do you explain this now?! What were you doing while we were fighting? Watching the show?"

Valetta opened her mouth: "I—"

Charles said with a solemn expression: "The facts are right in front of you, what are you still trying to argue about? Even if you are not a spy sent by Finn, three times in a row is enough to prove that you are not suitable to be a commander."

Valette's eyes were brimming with tears; it was hard to imagine that this crazy woman would suddenly feel so wronged that she wanted to cry.

"I'll f***ing call you a Joker!" Valetta, enraged and embarrassed, stomped her feet and swung her sword at Ciel's face.

Tina flashed, and a sharp blade was placed against Valeta's neck.

"You're not the only level 5..." Tina said in a childish voice, "Anyone who tries to hurt Joker will die!"

Valetta tilted her head back, her face flushed red.

Charles patted Valetta's face and said, "If you want to prove your innocence, go to the front lines... and prove it with Finn's head. Ha? [Killer Emperor]..."

Chapter 191 Anya Will Also Become Stronger

“Kill Finn? That despicable Palum who only dares to cower in the command post, why would he give me the chance?” Valetta wasn’t stupid either, of course she wouldn’t go and die.

but……

"Opportunities are something you have to seize yourself, just like with Ota this time." Charles had an "I knew it" look on his face. "You also received the plea for help from the front lines, didn't you? You can't even make the necessary decisions based on intelligence. What a waste of such a great advantage."

Valetta had nothing to say.

If you initially feel that it's unnecessary to make a big fuss over a few grunts after receiving the initial report, then you should naturally choose to provide support after Joker starts the battle.

Even if there isn't enough time, other soldiers can be ordered to harass various parts of the city, disperse forces, and prevent reinforcements.

But she chose to stick to her own opinion.

"It seems I'm really not suited to be a commander."

Repeated defeats filled Valetta with fear. She silently left the city walls, choosing to go to the front lines to see if she could seize some opportunities, as Charles had suggested.

Witt watched as the "Killing Emperor" was ostracized and left abruptly, but his heart remained completely unmoved.

He scoffed, "A guy who's only good for dragging things down."

They weren't worried. After all, they had a level 8 [Gluttony] skill. What difference would a level 6 skill make? They'd be nothing more than chickens and dogs.

Hmph, my [Gluttony] is invincible!

Seeing the Emperor of Slaughter leave...

"Joker, what's our plan now? Look for an opportunity? Or continue 'locking down the city'?" Olivas asked excitedly.

He reveres evil, and bullying the weak and fearing the strong is in his nature. He enjoys the thrill of killing and humiliation. The "Cage City" plan is completely out of character for him.

Charles sneered: "There's no reason to give up our current advantage. Of course, the task of defending the city must continue, but we need to make some minor adjustments."

Charles said seriously, "The location of the artificial maze has been exposed by the mole, and our route for mobilizing the monsters is likely to be intercepted. Therefore, in order to avoid the plan going wrong, we need manpower to transport the planned monster army from the port city."

"We must attack openly and honestly, through the main gate!"

Witt narrowed his eyes: "That makes sense. In a situation where we are constantly being infiltrated, playing tricks and conspiracies will only give the enemy an opportunity. No wonder you're called the Joker."
