When he just came in from outside the town, he saw that many houses had been smashed to pieces by some intensive attacks that probably came from the sky, and there were very few intact places.
Taking a look at the size of the hole on the ground, Lin Qi estimated that it would take at least a military-level treasure to have such destructive power.
"This is just one of the reasons. We can even say that the current situation is a blessing in disguise. When Cu Chulainn inexplicably sneaked here to attack us, most of the ordinary people in the town were hiding in other places and were not affected too much, so we didn't have to come and collect the bodies."
Billy the Kid spread his hands and said helplessly.
"The problem is that the release of the Noble Phantasm creates too much noise. Our position has been exposed to the sight of the President King. If we don't escape quickly, he will attack us sooner or later."
Robin Hood added.
"President King? Is it Edison... no, Edison?"
The title of President King is so abstract yet recognizable that Lin Qi subconsciously blurted out the title in his mind.
"It's Edison, for sure - but the name Edison-Lion is more accurate, haha!"
Robin Hood nodded, repeated in his mind the new name Lin Qi said, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
There is no way. The Edison who appeared in this singularity was really inexplicable. On the basis of Edison's original spiritual base, the regrets of successive American presidents were added. Finally, he miraculously appeared in the world with a funny lion head!
The title of President-King was given to Edison on this basis.
"Well, then why don't you just join Edison's team? Edison needs the fighting power of servants anyway, right?"
Lin Qi asked doubtfully.
Lin Qi didn't remember the fifth singularity very clearly, mainly because there were so many servants appearing here that it wouldn't feel awkward even if you distributed them in two singularities.
Therefore, Lin Qi's basic impression of the distribution of forces here is that there are three forces. One is the gathering of Celtic heroes such as Cu Chulainn who are villains, one is Eddie the Lion who is an ally who needs to be fought with, and the other is the wild servants who are the easiest to win over and are natural allies.
Apart from that, the only thing left is that the overall quality of the servants here is very high, and Rama is the Mvp.
It means knowing, but not knowing completely.
"Alas, you don't know the situation here, it's normal to have such thoughts."
Geronimo sighed and began to explain for Lin Qi.
"——The reason why we don't join Edison's camp is simple: he's crazy!"
Geronimo's look was serious, and he wasn't joking.
"Although we don't know what his purpose is in fighting Cu Chulainn's Celtic army until now, we can be sure that he did not simply want to defeat Cu Chulainn and then leave calmly, but had a deeper plan."
"If this plan succeeds, it will definitely cause more trouble. Therefore, until he changes his mind, we will not think of joining in."
Robin Hood also added with a stern look on his face:
"And Eddie Lion is totally inhuman! He is now organizing a real universal military. No matter old, weak, female or young, as long as they are human, they must join his army, put on that mechanical armor, and fight against those mass-produced Celtic soldiers who don't know what pain and fear are."
"Is this some radical form of Iron Man? Protecting the world with a suit?"
Listening to the two people's descriptions, Lin Qi's expression was subtle.
"Oh, this is not the most unacceptable thing for me. What is most unacceptable to me is that he actually wants to strictly implement a 20-hour work system, and a 20-hour work system without holidays! Damn capitalists!"
Billy the Kid waved his fist in anger.
"The soldiers outside basically came here because they couldn't accept this."
As he spoke, Billy the Kid pointed to the people who were moving things outside the house.
"Very good, I get it, this is undoubtedly bad civilization!"
Lin Qi stretched out his hand to signal the three people that there was no need to say anything, as he already understood everything.
Although Lin Qi himself has not become a social animal yet, having once experienced a crazy learning period, he can fully understand this feeling - Damn, a 20-hour work system, they really don’t treat people as human beings!
Why don't you try working 20 hours a day?
After several people talked to each other, Lin Qi already had a deeper understanding of the situation of this singularity.
So now it is obvious what to do.
Thinking of this, Lin Qi decisively turned around and prepared to leave the house.
Seeing that Lin Qi was about to leave right after the conversation, Jeronimo felt something was wrong.
"Oh my god! Is this young man going to go head-to-head with Edison and the others?!"
Thinking of this, Geronimo hurriedly called Lin Qi:
"Wait a minute, what are you going to do outside?"
"Going to trouble Edison, what's wrong?"
Lin Qi turned around and looked at Geronimo who called him in confusion.
"What's wrong? He has Karna on his side! You can only exert 80% of Rama's power. If you fight with the three servants there, won't you be defeated?"
Geronimo advised earnestly.
In his eyes, Lin Qi was just a kid who suddenly gained powerful strength. Now he was probably just thinking about using Rama's power for fun without thinking about the consequences at all.
"Black Hedgehog, you seem to have underestimated the Master I found. Although I don't know what happened to him, he has been repaired for at least two or three eras to get here. He is not as stupid as you think, nor as weak as you think."
Elizabeth, who knew Lin Qi best here, suddenly spoke with pride on her face.
Apart from anything else, the fact that he appeared silently behind her was enough to confirm that Lin Qi was not just an ordinary person who borrowed Rama's power.
Lin Qi was a little embarrassed after Elizabeth revealed some of his secrets, but he still adjusted his expression and said:
"In addition to Rama's power, my own strength is not weak either. Even if Edison's three servants attack together, it should be no problem for me to retreat unscathed with my current strength."
"And I think Karna and the others are easy to talk to. It shouldn't escalate to the point where a life-and-death battle is necessary."
In case others didn't believe him, Lin Qi added another sentence.
Lin Qi still vaguely remembered that Blavatsky and Karna on Edison's side were not crazy to that extent. On the contrary, they were still very rational and were just joining Edison in making trouble.
I think as long as I can explain the reason and appeal to their emotions, I will be able to pull Edison and others into my camp.
So Lin Qi briefly told his thoughts and the known information to all the servants.
After listening to what Lin Qi said, the three looked at each other.
"So your way of persuading people to do this is to first ask the other party if they want to join, then beat them up, and then ask again?"
"That's right, what's wrong?"
Lin Qi scratched his head.
He remembered that in the subsequent singularities, many suitable helpers basically followed this joining process.
Anyway, we have to fight one or two fights no matter what.
"No problem, as long as you are sure!"
The three of them looked at each other again and said they had no objection at the same time.

Chapter 100 (Intentional)
"It's a waste of my life to stay in this American West!"
"There are still various lives disappearing on this land. You do not intend to eradicate the disease, and you even stop me from curing this war. No, you are the biggest disease in front of me now!"
Nightingale, with pink hair and wearing a red military uniform, stared expressionlessly at the three servants around her.
Hearing this, a muscular man with a lion's head stared at her in disbelief:
"Angel of Crimea! Why would you, who looks so beautiful, say such vicious words?! It's a waste of life to stay in the United States of the West of America... It's too much!"
Feeling a little aggrieved, Edison couldn't help but look at Karna and Helena Blavatsky beside him, hoping to get their support.
Karna: "..."
Little Sun chose to remain silent.
"Ahem, in fact, I also think that what Florence (Nightingale) said was a bit too much. After all, it is precisely because of the United States of the West that this era has not completely collapsed, right?"
Helena, who was being stared at by Edison alone, had no choice but to cough twice and speak.
What Helena said is correct. Although Edison, the capitalist, does not treat people as human beings, it is precisely because of his appearance that this era and America did not collapse straight away.
"But Mr. Edison will personally create the same but different form of collapse after the war."
Nightingale looked at Edison expressionlessly.
"What are you talking about! I just want to build an America that will last forever. What have I done wrong? Being patriotic is not a crime!"
Edison opened his lion eyes wide and roared to the sky.
"So other eras will be destroyed by your willful decision... I have long said that patriots like this will only lead everything to destruction."
Having said that, Nightingale turned to look at Karna and said seriously.
"Please take out my gun. I need to treat this confused guy."
Her pistol was taken away by Karna.
"…I'm sorry, but if your treatment is to kill Edison with a gun, I can't do it."
Karna silently looked at Nightingale with an innocent smile on her face, and couldn't help but sigh.
Although Nightingale is a decent person, and everything he says and does wonderfully points to the "crux" of the problem, it is only this EX-level frenzy and self-talk that is a headache.
Unless it fits her ideas, she won't listen to anything.
"Tsk!"
Nightingale turned her head away in dissatisfaction.
...You definitely [tsk] just now, didn't you?
Karna remained silent even more.
"It's a pity that the most effective treatment for you has been sealed, otherwise it would be a good option to cure you on the spot."
Nightingale said with a hint of regret.
Edison wondered: "What treatment?"
"Gun, Florence means to heal you by beating you up."
Helena replied casually.
"That's right. For a patient as seriously ill as Mr. Edison, ordinary speech therapy is no longer effective. A strong punch must be delivered."
Nightingale nodded in agreement.
"Ohhhh! This is impossible! With all these mechanical infantry protecting me, and Karna by my side, who can hurt me?"
Edison laughed loudly, his voice echoing throughout the palace, and his eyes were full of pride when he looked at Nightingale.
"Angel of Crimea, you are still good..."
Edison smiled, smiled, and smiled, confident of victory...
The sound suddenly decreased until it stopped abruptly.
Edison was sweating profusely as he looked straight ahead.
I saw a figure holding a flag in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, who appeared in the palace protected by layers of defense at some point.
Standing right in front of them, behind Nightingale, looking at them calmly.
"--who is it?!"
Karna's reaction was much faster than Edison's. He had already summoned the spear of light and was ready to attack Lin Qi.
Helena was not slow either. She took out her own spellbook and gave him a serious look.
But judging from the cold sweat on her face, she was obviously not as calm as she appeared.
Then came the mechanical soldiers standing in the palace.
"An ordinary Master from Chaldea came here hoping that Edison would join our team."
Lin Qi, who was being pointed at by a group of people with guns, remained very calm and looked at Edison seriously and said.
Acting as if he himself was not deeply trapped in the enemy's camp.
