Ark Undead

Even the large axe in the model's hand and the steel round shield on its back are so lifelike.

Terra has far too many connections to the Age of Fire. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising if anything else appeared in this battle.

“Faust, continue.”

The doctor indicated to Faust that he didn't need to worry about it.

Faust nodded and continued.

"They have completed the construction of the components, but the energy supply is a major problem. To power such a massive steam armor, a huge amount of Originium is needed, and it must be pure Originium that can serve as a pure energy source."

"Therefore, with the energy reserves they have secretly accumulated, this huge steam armor can only be powered for about ten minutes. But they will use this time to cooperate with us to open the passage to the interior of Londinium, and at the same time launch an attack on the upper city."

"This is what we can do."

Having said that, Faust stepped back and handed the meeting back to the Doctor.

But that was enough; the news Faust brought had given everyone hope.

Rhodes Island's biggest headache isn't how many people will join the fight, but rather the lack of a way to enter Londinium.

Now they have the help of the Victorian regular army, as well as the support of many other forces hidden behind the scenes.

If these rebels can do what they promised and open the road into Londinium.

Then they would already have the ability to fight Kazdel head-on.

"Very good, thank you very much for the news, Faust."

The doctor stood up and nodded slightly to Faust.

"Go and rest now. We'll let you and your team know when we're ready to go to Londinium."

Faust accepted his arrangement and did not want Faust to be present at the next meeting.

After Faust left, the meeting room immediately fell silent.

Everyone was looking at the doctor.

They knew that the most crucial moment had arrived.

The doctor chuckled softly.

"You have all been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so I will not waste any more words."

He raised his hand and gently placed it on the walkie-talkie beside him.

At this moment, he wasn't just addressing the people in the conference room; he was conveying his message to everyone in key positions at Rhode Island.

"Close all entrances and exits within five minutes."

"Observation room operators, it's time for you to start your shift. Be on alert for areas where natural disasters may occur."

"The workers in the lower energy zone provide Originium to the power furnace at maximum power."

"Attention all personnel in the main control room, confirm the ship's bearing."

"All personnel prepare for shock. Rhodes Island will be anchoring in five minutes."

"It's time to move forward!"

484. Prelude to War

Years later, Bonfire, one of Rhodes Island's legendary elite operators, accepted an invitation from the aging but still dedicated instructor Dobermann to train new operators.

She is also often asked by the younger generation to recount in detail the war that took place in Victoria that winter.

At this moment, the beautiful and powerful warrior simply stroked the straight sword at her waist, smiling without saying a word.

If one must describe that war, there are not enough words on this continent to describe its epic scale and destiny.

It felt like a destiny tied in a knot in the river of time, with heroes and warriors from different eras and factions gathering together to strive for a common goal.

They huddled together, tearing a hole in the membrane of the abyss with their own hands, letting fire rush in and illuminating the darkness on this land dominated by suffering.

On the boundless, secluded land, a destined person walks; he is returning, he is being reborn, and he is also departing.

-

News of Rhodes Island setting sail quickly spread through the intelligence networks of all the various factions.

Those who were still preparing also came out of their resting tents and gathered together.

The troops from Kalan were led by a knight clad in heavy black armor.

She carried the heavy greatsword and slammed it onto her shoulder.

Originally a champion knight belonging to Kazimierz, he has now become a retainer of Shiva's.

But she never regretted her decision. Because that great man had already chosen a much larger battlefield for her.

It was as if it were a scene that had appeared in her dreams.

She was born to be this way.

"Everyone, assemble!"

So these warriors, belonging to the icy wilderness, put on their helmets, their armor, connected to the felt, rattled, and quickly packed their belongings, heading towards the designated village along the wilderness road.

On the other side, not far from Rhodes Island, a group of people watched the giant beast slowly moving across the wilderness and put down their binoculars.

"Rhodes Island has already started moving, and we need to follow suit."

Hoshiguma threw the Great Shield of Hannya beside her into the trunk of the vehicle, and then climbed directly into the driver's seat.

However, none of the people who were originally beside her got into the car.

She wasn't surprised; she simply rolled down the car window and watched them untie the ropes from the makeshift wooden stakes driven into the hillside behind the hill.

"Hoo."

The horses, which had been agitated by the earthquake, calmed down after being stroked by a gauntlet inscribed with mysterious characters.

These soldiers from the East mounted their horses one after another, their exquisite sabers striking the backs of their steeds, making the horses gradually eager to ride.

"Let's go, Hoshiguma-san."

The one in the lead spoke to Hoshiguma in a slightly immature tone.

"Please lead the way."

Hoshiguma looked at these soldiers, who were no more than twenty years old, some even smaller, and waited for his words with an extremely calm demeanor.

She suddenly understood why Chen Huijie had chosen to stay in the interior of Dayan.

Hoshiguma tapped the earpiece in her ear, indicating that they should use it to communicate in case of any emergency on the road.

Then roll up the car windows and start the engine powered by the Originium solution.

The tires kicked up sand and dust, and the horses behind them galloped nimbly across the wilderness at the soldiers' shouts.

At the same time, in a village near Victoria.

"The monsters in the vicinity are like they've gone mad, constantly hunting any living creatures around them. Only three of the scouts we sent out have returned."

As she listened to the report from her fellow soldier, Bugle frowned.

This is not good news, as it means that if they go to the vicinity of Lentinium in such an environment, they will definitely encounter even more ferocious monsters along the way.

Fortunately, she had already prepared a contingency plan for this situation.

"Don't panic, have all the brothers packed their things?"

The bugle hung the last box of cannonballs on the table behind his shield and locked it securely.

"Everyone is already waiting outside."

"Very good, then let's proceed according to the planned schedule."

The horn grasped the shield and held it horizontally at its side.

"Within six hours, rendezvous with Bagpipes. We must assemble our own Victorian forces before the Rhodes Island main force arrives."

"It's already shameful enough that we need others' help in this war to protect our nation. If we are also looked down upon by others, that would be a disgrace to the soldiers of Victoria!"

As he spoke, Haojiao stepped out of his tent.

Several hundred troops assembled in the village square.

These troops, armed with Victorian steam technology, are the Victorian regular army of today.

They were people who couldn't bear to see their homeland ravaged, and even in this situation of disintegration, they still clung to the last vestiges of hope.

There was no rousing pre-battle mobilization; they had already filled their hearts with a magnificent future over the past two months.

"set off!"

The buglers turned over and boarded the transport vehicles, and the soldiers also boarded the marching vehicles as quickly as possible.

According to the contingency plan previously proposed by Scout, Horn and Bagpipe have been trying to contact their colleagues who are holding out in other nearby villages for the past few days.

Ultimately, a reasonably acceptable operational strategy was achieved.

Before the monsters summoned by King Kazdel, the power of an individual is undoubtedly insignificant. That is why these soldiers, originally belonging to Victoria, cannot be scattered.

They needed to assemble as quickly as possible and establish a temporary stronghold outside the city before the rebels inside Londinium breached the walls, given the disruption of communications.

This is very important, extremely important, because information is the brain of war. Without a unified command center, even if they can unite a vast force, they cannot use it effectively.

Scout, who was in the same vehicle as Horn, was also receiving information from Rhodes Island.

The Doctor and Kal'tsit were in the conference room, and it would take Rhodes Island another day to reach the city of Londinium, which was 100 kilometers away.

But now, the war has begun.

"Okay, I'll let them know."

Scout pressed his earpiece against his ear, his right hand resting on his thigh, as he rapidly scribbled notes in his notebook.

"I understand. I'll contact you again after I find them."

Scout lowered his fingers from his left ear and turned to look at the horn.

Horn also turned to look at Scout.

She was curious about what kind of scheme the infamous evil spirit in Terra had in mind, and why it was issuing these instructions to them at this time.
