The imprisoned members of the city council rushed to the window in surprise. The two lords of the royal court on the city wall turned their heads in astonishment to look in the direction they came from. The people in the palace jumped up and down, some cast spells to use rubble as shields to block the falling rocks, some risked their lives to stand in front of themselves to protect the monarch and friends they recognized, some held up shields, cast spells, and avoid being under the Source Stone monster.
But all of their eyes were directed towards the rising beam of light.
Because it is so dazzling that it even surpasses the Shard Building that symbolizes the natural disaster.
Two men in gray hats helped up their coffee, which had been knocked down by the earthquake, and looked at the beam of light that pierced through the sky and earth and seemed to have infinite power. They wondered from the bottom of their hearts:
"what is that?"
"A building of unknown origin just appeared outside the city of Londinium. What happened inside?"
"This should be information that will interest His Excellency the Duke. Let's record it."
"But how to describe it?"
"Well... to be honest, do you think this beam of light is very similar to that?"
"You think so too?"
"Yeah, it's just like the bedtime stories we heard when we were kids—"
[The original King Aslan climbed the walls of Londinium. In order to stop his attack, the King of Draco set the sky on fire with his own flames. Then the clouds fell and turned into heavy rain, the breeze heated up and turned into a storm, the stars and the sun turned into meteorites and fell from the sky, and the great city was about to become a ruin! ]
【At this time, the king raised the sword in his hand. 】
[He said: Breath of Kings, I will wield you, and you will fulfill your duty, split the natural disasters, and protect my people! ]
[Then, the national sword fell, and the natural disaster covering Londinium was cut in two! ]
"Will we be scolded for writing this? After all, Aslan has already..."
"Who cares! I just witnessed a myth and legend. Let the Duke worry about the rest!"
Volume 1: Chapter 328 Kal'tsit is deeply aware of this
The violent shock made the entire Iron Palace tremble, and hundreds of years of dust fell from the top of the throne room like a piece of pale yellow snowflakes. Even Theresa and Theresis were inevitably staggered by the sudden shock, and could only rely on the long swords in their hands to barely stabilize their bodies.
Tracy had to stop his charge, and Theresa's face showed genuine shock.
After the violent shock, the originally closed door between the thrones collapsed, and a green figure covered in dust appeared in front of them. Following him were Vina and others who looked rather embarrassed but could not hide their shocked expressions that seemed to have not yet recovered.
Roy looked at the door that collapsed with a loud bang after only two light knocks. He was silent for a moment. After confirming that Vina behind him had no intention of claiming compensation from him, he spoke with a little embarrassment:
"Sorry, we're a little late. We encountered some trouble on the way. But it's been resolved. We have obtained the Breath of Kings, Kal'tsit."
Roy pointed at the long sword wrapped in cloth on Vina's back. After a moment of glory, it seemed to have returned to its ordinary appearance. Although it was no longer as rusty as when Roy and others had just discovered it, it was just a sharp long sword that looked nothing special.
This made Roy somewhat puzzled. Are all the swords on this land that sick? Whether it's the Holy Sword of the Sun or the Breath of the Kings, they are all used directly when the conditions are not met, and can be invincible when the conditions are met. The key is that the criteria for judging this condition are really bizarre.
Roy still didn't understand why Margaret Linguang's Originium skill could activate the Holy Sword of the Sun. Could it be that she was actually a large solar battery that automatically stored solar energy when she didn't use the Originium skill, and then emitted light when she needed it?
Just kidding. Although he still remembered the power of Breath of Kings, which was almost equal to the Holy Sword of the Sun and could be called the second EX Curry Stick, Vina couldn't use it, and Roy couldn't always show off with someone else's national sword, he had to return it.
As soon as Roy finished speaking, even before Kelsey had time to respond, Tracy spoke first:
"Kelsey, it seems you have found an incredible helper."
"Have we met somewhere before?"
Tracy's brows were furrowed, as if he was lost in memories.
He had a vague sense of familiarity with Roy, but he was not sure about the feeling, and could not find any information about Roy. Until Manfred reminded him:
"General, he is the Knight Casimir who rescued the Queen and the Elector of Teutonia in Leitania."
He was also the one who caused our plan to fail and sent me to the Leitanian prison.
Manfred was too embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence. Anyway, as long as he said the first half, Tracy should be able to react. Why should he lose his dignity in such an occasion?
As expected, Tracy nodded in sudden realization. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, he accepted Manfred's explanation.
If he had heard of Roy from someone else, it was natural that he had an impression of this person but could not remember it.
Roy was an acquaintance to Tracy, whom he met for the first time.
Even in the game, in the node before Roy's crossing, there is very little description of Tracys. From the few chapters and side descriptions of him, we can only conclude that he is an out-and-out Sarkaz nationalist, a strong but paranoid Sarkaz general, and one of the few people who has clearly killed Kal'tsit.
Roy had heard of his ambition to "smash the demon king's shackles", but he had been on Terra for so long, so he was no fool. This kind of declaration was just for listening, and anyone who believed it was a fool.
Even Kosice, the old man who was wearing Tallulah's skin and acting like a slut when Qiao Biluo was flirting, could still brazenly say that war was also for the people and for the prosperity of the country. Whether he was sincere or not is not the point, just the way he achieved it, even if the people of the Great Yan Population Bar were to evaluate it, they would have to say "you are a bit too extreme".
So, who knows whether what Tracy said about "smashing the devil's shackles" really means liberation, or is it just a reason to get rid of all those who might become the devil?
There are too many people who talk all about ideology but only think about business.
However, just as Theresa's doubts were suppressed, Theresa frowned thoughtfully:
"I seem to have some impression of you... Strange, I should have never seen you before."
Roy looked at the little rabbit with a surprised look, and then looked at Kal'tsit who was not far away and Theresa who was silent beside the throne like an empty shell. He had some guesses in his mind, so he asked tentatively:
"Your Highness Theresa?"
“You don’t have to call me that.” Theresa suppressed her doubts and said with a smile, “Are you the final trump card that Kal’tsit mentioned?”
Roy Yile: "I didn't expect that I would have this honor?"
Before the fight started, the old lynx asked me and her to act separately, saying that Amiya would have to go through it all. But in the end, I turned out to be her last trump card. It seemed that she was prepared, and if she couldn't win, she would wait for me to rescue her?
Roy raised his eyebrows and looked at Kal'tsit, who blushed and turned his head away.
Her attitude towards Roy is extremely contradictory and complicated.
On the one hand, Roy's core is human, she is her ally, and she possesses some of the technology and mysteries of humans. With the help of Trevor Friston, she is undoubtedly an extremely powerful fighting force, so she will list Roy as the last trump card in times of crisis, trusting that she will be able to protect herself and Rhodes Island.
But on the other hand, she was worried about Roy's attitude towards Theresa who might wake up in Amiya's body. Frankly speaking, anyone can see that the underage Amiya seems a little immature even as a CEO of a medical company, not to mention the leader of Babel Tower, the Demon King of Sarkaz. She is obviously easier to "teach". Theresa is different. She is a hero who has gone through the war years and a mature Demon King. Although her thoughts are different from those of previous Demon Kings, she is still a more independent person.
She was worried that Roy would do something bad to Theresa.
But when she really faced Tracy, Kal'tsit realized that it was a bit like having to have it all.
With the determination to die, Tracy expounded his ideals, beliefs, and path. His tenacity was beyond Kal'tsit's expectations. If Tracy had not intervened in the battle in advance, the consequences would have been disastrous. But even so, Kal'tsit, who knew that Tracy had not had Tracy for long, was worried that Tracy would directly choose a delaying tactic, delaying until Tracy's soul could no longer withstand the assimilation of the Sarkaz souls and became part of the collective consciousness.
She realized her mistakes in this war, a war that could not tolerate any falsehood, lies, distraction, or vacillation. And in this war, she needed Roy.
She was deeply aware of this.
Volume 1: Chapter 329: Tracys: To fight against foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the country.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth; everything can conquer something else.
If Tracy had an advantage over Kal'tsit and the others before Roy and Theresa showed up, then after the two arrived, this advantage quickly declined into a disadvantage.
Tracy's sword energy could shatter mon3tr's thick shell, but could not penetrate Roy's sea body. His swordsmanship was of his own school, and the killing skills honed on the battlefield were capable and powerful, not inferior to Wei Yanwu, who was famous for his Scarlet Sky swordsmanship. However, he could only fight on equal terms with Roy, who was more skilled than skilled, and in terms of long-range attacks, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
Although Roy now fights in close combat with a sword most of the time due to his weapons, don't forget that he still has a good archery skill. With the help of the [Stella! ] module that can be released by exploding weapons, and Theresa who can continuously use the Demon King's Originium skills to provide him with weapons, once the distance is pulled away, Theresa will face a saturation "bombing" that is more stressful than close combat.
He had no time to worry about why a Casimir competitive knight had such a strong fighting power. Any slackness or distraction could lead to the collapse of the entire defense. He had to be alert and look for opportunities to counterattack in the almost airtight attack. Moreover, compared to the dilemma Kal'tsit faced a few minutes ago, Tracys now knew very well that he would not have any "unexpected help".
All his cards are now on the table.
No, that’s not the case.
The only thing that could possibly help him out of his predicament, or even turn defeat into victory, flashed through Tracy's mind - the Shard, Victoria's secret weapon that has not yet been completed.
But he only thought about it for a moment and gave up the idea of forcibly starting the Shard.
After all, it was Victoria's weapon. If Tracy had not planned to use it to provoke internal disputes in Victoria, he would not have been willing to touch it at all, let alone use it here, which in his opinion was the occasion to "determine the future direction of the Sarkaz."
Theresa was able to rely on Kal'tsit, Amiya, the Breath of Kings, and even Roy, a Casimir, because she insisted on "reconciliation". But Theresa was different. He was determined to "fight", a fight to the death in which one side must be completely defeated. If he could not prove that he could win a new future by relying only on himself and the power of the Sarkaz, then he would be essentially no different from Theresa.
This is a dispute over ideas, or to use more popular terms, a "dispute over routes" or a "dispute over the orthodoxy of the doctrine."
Moreover, even if he was willing to abandon his own beliefs and fight simply for victory, using the Shard, there would be no winner in the end.
Because the Shard is incomplete.
The reason why it has been in an unfinished state is not because it cannot cause natural disasters at this moment. In fact, after the construction and improvement of successive Victorian emperors, the main part of the entire Shard has been basically completed, and only some simple finishing work remains to be done. The Kazdel Military Committee is just a lucky guy who picked up the leak.
Otherwise, could it be that there really is such a genius among the Sarkaz who was able to master the construction technology and operating principles of the Shard and complete the entire building in such a short time after the Sarkaz occupied Londinium?
The answer is naturally self-evident.
The Shard has long had the ability to attract natural disasters. As long as the start button is pressed, this high-rise building can cause a small natural disaster powerful enough to destroy an entire city in a short period of time, and after a long period of accumulation of power, it can attract a large natural disaster powerful enough to cover the entire mobile city.
What it lacks is the ability to deliver this natural disaster to a designated location.
An atomic bomb that cannot be used is meaningless. Similarly, a calamity weapon that can only destroy itself cannot be considered "completed", no matter how powerful it is. The Victorians obviously did not figure out how to guide the calamity brought by the Shard to attack their enemies without causing any losses, because, as Christen said, people on earth only look at their feet, and few people look up at the sky.
But Tracy thought of it.
So he ordered the construction of an airship fueled by dead souls, an unprecedented sky fortress in Terra's history! Although it did not have the destructive power of the aerospace motherships in the science fiction novels Roy read in his previous life, it was a perfect "weather vane" that could accurately guide the impact position of the Shard.
It’s a pity that due to technical and time limitations, it has not yet been completed.
At least, it will take more than two years.
Roy arrived a little early and was unable to see the magnificent airship, nor was he able to witness it working together with the Shard to destroy the Duke's fleet, thereby triggering a chain of suspicion of "super weapons" among the nations of Terra.
Once Tracy is determined to use the Shard, there will be no winner. A natural disaster will come, engulfing the entire Londinium including him, causing massive casualties, resulting in a lose-lose situation with no one surviving.
He refused to do so.
At this time, Roy said:
"In fact, we can talk about this, Tresis. There are many crises on this land that are more urgent than the Sarkaz. Humans can temporarily put aside their prejudices. This is not empty talk. The establishment of the Terran Alliance and the publication of the Lateran Declaration are the best evidence. To be honest, I have contributed a lot to all of this."
With the help of Kal'tsit's Riddle, Roy's words convinced many people. Even the old enemies like the Ursus and Casimir people reached a superficial reconciliation and alliance under Roy's persuasion and Trevor Friston's "teachings".
Roy didn't think that this situation would not happen again to the Sarkaz.
He was even confident that as long as Theresis laid down his arms and nodded in agreement, he would be able to go out of the city to persuade the Grand Duke to resolve the Londinium incident through peaceful negotiations.
The Sarkaz will receive fair trial for their evil deeds in the city, and as the one who let the wolf in, the Grand Duke must also compensate for the losses in the city.
Then, everyone can put aside their disputes and fight the real enemy together.
But this was undoubtedly a fairy-tale ending, but it obviously could not convince the man in front of her.
"The crisis you are talking about is Hai Si or the evil demon?"
Tresis spoke up. The Chairman of the Military Commission was stubborn and said something that made Roy frown:
"After the Sarkaz get back everything they own, I will deal with them myself. As for now."
“In order to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home!”
Volume 1: Chapter 330: Is this document authentic?
Tracy's death was not a peaceful one.
The strength of the Sarkaz hero is indeed strong enough. When Tracys shows his true ability, even Roy will find it difficult to defeat him in a short time.
But Tracy was never fighting against Roy alone.
Not to mention that Roy has Theresa, who is obviously as powerful as him but has a time limit. The combination of Logos, Misery, Ascalon and other Rhodes Island operators is enough to make Theresa feel difficult.
All Roy had to do was to be serious and contain Tracy's actions, thus buying time for Theresa and the elite operators to attack.
Obviously, this fighting style was somewhat unethical, and it clearly did not take the Pardoner's family and Manfred seriously. But in fact, this was the truth.
When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, the participation of the middle-level combat power in the high-level confrontation will drop drastically. Therefore, the Blood Demon Lord can completely destroy a Victorian army in one night and control the entire Londinium City Defense Army. The Witch King can even use magic to directly destroy the "Gallic Old Guards", a special unit of the Steam Knights, which is used as a benchmark for the internal guards.
With Roy's current strength, he is at the level of a deep-sea hunter when fully fired. Even if Manfred cuts off his knife, he probably won't have any scars on his body. Once the water and moon module is activated, his mental strength is at the level of a nascent being, and the pardoner can do nothing about it. He and Theresis cancel each other out one-to-one, and the remaining Theresia and Rhodes Island operators are all factors of cumulative advantage!
All that remains is to accumulate time, wait until the advantage is converted into victory, and completely defeat Tracys.
After Theresa's final swing of the sword, the Regent of Kazdel finally couldn't hold on any longer and took a step back, falling onto the throne.
It was ironic that since winning the civil war and occupying Londinium until Rhodes Island came to attack, Tresis had always been the chairman of the Military Committee and the regent of Kazdel. He had always kept a distance from the throne that symbolized the Demon King, but when he was defeated, he was forced to sit on it.
"Actually, I don't want to kill you."
Roy said frankly.
"I think a lot of what you said makes a lot of sense, like if the struggle for survival is wrong, then I would rather perish."
Indeed, no matter how prosperous the ancestors of the Sarkaz were, that was a distant past. Even history has forgotten that period of time, and today's Kazdel is nothing more than a weird little country.
They didn't have a city of their own, all they had was a pile of ruins and wilderness left over from the war, and homeless people.
Just as Theresa said, most Sarkaz are not born to like war, but life and prejudice force them to take a dirty and bloody path.
For such Sarkaz, a leader like Tracys is undoubtedly a tough guy sent from heaven.
Let's take a look at what Roy knew about Tresis' past: he trained himself to become a hero as an ordinary Sarkaz, a non-Ten Kings' Court race; as a general, he formed a military committee to secretly smuggle building materials to build Kazdel's first mobile city; and he was ordered to lead the hastily formed, poorly trained and poorly disciplined Sarkaz army to fight against the multinational coalition formed by Kal'tsit, and even defeated the coalition, killing Kal'tsit as the leader. Up to this point, he was an out-and-out Sarkaz hero with no faults.
Even later, when he disagreed with Theresa's ideas and triggered the Kazdel Civil War, he was just an ambitious, cold and paranoid hero who changed from a hero who saved Kazdel. He did not give up his ideal of saving the Sarkaz, but chose a different direction from Theresa, and he proved his own path with his talent and hard work in war.
