Ark Undead

Because it is a key used to unify the operation of machinery and even connect with one's own consciousness.

Now, the only thing that can be used is the huge war machine being assembled underground.

"Indra, lead everyone to protect my people."

Vina walked into the elevator while talking.

"Wait for my triumphant return."

Her voice was calm yet powerful, and in the glance she gave Indra before leaving, there was both the weight of a king and the expectation of someone who placed high hopes on him.

Indra instinctively straightened his back.

"Yes, my king!"

...

Right in the heart of the lower town, here stands the council chamber, which has been built here for who knows how long.

Typically, the councilors of the Lower Town gather here to decide the future of the Lower Town.

And right below this building, within the massive mobile city, lies an extremely spacious area.

Normally, this area is sealed off and is only temporarily opened during urban construction to serve as a transit point for materials for large buildings and artworks such as giant statues.

Now, five transport lines leading to various locations have been opened simultaneously, and the central open space has been occupied by a tall iron frame.

The noise from gears and steam could not drown out the rough shouts of the workers communicating on site.

"Body assembly complete! Hand assembly in progress!"

"Where's the right leg? Why haven't the people from the right leg side arrived yet?!"

"They encountered a stuck track on the way, but it has just been cleared and they are already on their way!"

While exchanging information about the assembly process with the people in charge of other areas, Sass looked at the giant knight being assembled with a complicated expression.

Now, its head hangs motionless atop its body, like a sleeping giant, unable to even offer a response.

And in a few minutes, it will be put into action, becoming the last resort to save the city.

No one knows whether this work will actually succeed, but it has been tested tens of thousands of times in the planning stage.

All they could do was pray, pray that the giant would answer their cries.

"How are the preparations going?"

Vina came to the command platform and joined the conversation among the leaders.

They all turned to look at Vina, their eyes filled with both hope and doubt.

Everyone knows this party leader who rose to power in the Lower East Side.

But when they actually met Vina, they couldn't help but worry.

Is a girl like this really capable of shouldering such a huge responsibility?

"The hand assembly is complete! We're just waiting for the right leg designer to arrive and begin assembly."

"Sass said."

"Aslan...Miss Vina, are you ready?"

After thinking for a moment, Sass couldn't help but ask.

Unfortunately, even though Vina has already demonstrated her talent to many people, she is not yet Victoria's master.

Perhaps only when the Aslan royalists actually move into Victoria will people acknowledge Vina's rights.

But right now, she's still just a girl.

“Mr. Sass, I like this city.”

Vina looked at Sass and spoke slowly.

“I was born in Lentinium and grew up in this city to become who I am today.”

"Similarly, I love the people here. Even though hardship often comes our way, we still manage to overcome it with our own strength, don't we?"

Vina gripped the key in her right hand, her tone firm.

“I know what I have to do. As Aslan’s successor, I have to protect this city, protect Victoria, and protect my people.”

Having said that, there was nothing more for Sass to ask.

Vina glanced down at the watch on her wrist.

"We have two minutes left. Are the Cavaliers ready?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the tall iron frame.

The giant leaned against the iron frame, its head bowed and brows drooping. Every inch of its skin was covered by rough steel, which protected the internal gear structure very well.

The visor completely covered the visual sensors, like a silent knight donning his battered helmet.

Now, he is complete.

As the last screw was tightened, the workers looked up at the giant. After a brief silence, the worker who had tightened the screw burst into a shout.

"Assembly complete!"

This sound also startled many people who were looking up at it from their gaze.

Everyone turned to look at the leaders on the command platform.

Then, their gaze turned to Vina, who was standing in the middle of the people in charge.

Sass withdrew his gaze, and the five leaders also looked at the young man standing in the middle of them.

"Lord Aslan, please ascend your throne."

Vina instinctively tightened her jaw; she thought she was mentally prepared. But at this moment, her heart was still pounding wildly.

Taking a deep breath, the young Aslan stepped onto the stairs leading to the cockpit.

Hannah experienced three major events related to Victoria in her life.

All of these events took place in the city of Lentinium.

The first time was a few years ago, when a sudden riot by infected people revealed the chaos buried beneath the city's tranquility.

The second time was two years ago, when a giant dragon flew over Londinium, growing from the soil of Londinium. Finally, with the help of the Glasgow Gang and that great man, it returned to the earth.

The third time is now.

Hannah was involved in every instance, becoming a small cog in the machine, maintaining the peace and tranquility of Lentinium.

But now, facing this giant dragon, Vina felt an unusual sense of powerlessness.

Dragons in the sky, Kazdel troops on the ground.

The unknown dragon, whose power clearly surpassed that of the previous crippled dragon, spewed flames that were as viscous as lava from a volcanic eruption.

Its unfolded body could cover more than a dozen houses, and its scales were indestructible even under the barrage of countless mechanical cannons.

No one found its weakness; the siege pillars, unearthed by the Glasgow gang members, stood there like idiots, utterly useless.

From their perspective, they can see the entire lower city from the city walls.

Kazdel's sergeants are steadily suppressing the Victorian army.

It wasn't because Victoria's soldiers were too weak, but because of the presence of the dragons, they didn't even dare to show their faces in the sky for long.

If the dragon cannot be dealt with, then it is only a matter of time before Victoria's army is defeated.

That dragon had no natural enemies.

The powerful Originium magic could not reach such high altitudes, and the Originium arts, which were able to reach it, could not break through its sturdy scales.

The sky is its kingdom; it only needs to cast a glance at the insects on the ground, and it can easily burn them all to ashes with its flames.

"Where's the Steam Knight?! How much longer?!"

As the legion commanders led their soldiers into the building to take cover, they frantically checked the situation on the Steam Knights' end via their headsets.

But the underground rebels seemed to have lost the ability to speak, offering no response whatsoever.

This made the legion commanders even more uneasy.

They looked back at the direction in which Kazdel's sergeants were advancing.

And you can hear the sound of wings flapping in the sky, and the heart-stopping roar of dragons.

Just then, the message came through the headsets of the three legion commanders.

"Officers, don't panic, aid from Rhodes Island is on its way."

The doctor's voice.

He wasn't as serious as before; instead, he seemed quite relaxed.

Although no one knows where his ease comes from.

"Commander! I need you to explain clearly what kind of reinforcements have arrived! How many are there, and do you need our cooperation?"

Although the legion commanders did not expect Rhodes Island to provide any secret troops to help them at this time, they still sought the Doctor's advice.

However, the doctor's answer almost made their heads explode.

"An arrow."

"?" The legion commanders could hardly believe their ears.

They remained silent for several seconds before pressing their earpieces together and asking questions through gritted teeth.

"Rhodes Island Doctor, do you know what you're saying?!"

"I know."

The doctor answered casually.

"I'll repeat it again, one arrow."

The three legion commanders removed their headsets almost simultaneously.

They all realized that this evil spirit from Rhodes Island must have some mental issues.

No one would make a joke like that at this time.
