reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

He had many other things to do, and he didn't care at all about the Rhodes Island main ship, which could be breached by just a few high-speed land warships.

Currently, according to intelligence from Londinium, Amiya's identity has not yet been confirmed—because in this timeline, there was no Chernobog Incident, no Lungmen War, and no Core City Blockade Battle. Amiya did not use or even unseal her Demon Lord power in front of the enemy.

Even though none of this happened, Lentinium did not find a new successor.

In other words, before the potential successor to the Demon King reveals his true identity, Rhodes Island is only under scrutiny, but it is also safe.

However, on the other hand, Rhodes Island's main fleet, which was gradually approaching Londinium and making no attempt to conceal its presence, was constantly being watched. It's highly likely that Londinium was already aware of these changes.

“A giant aircraft taking off from Rhodes Island is far too conspicuous. I need to find a way to conceal my tracks. Taking a detour through the border of the Snow Realm is a good idea,” Bai Ye said with a smile.

Then, he expressed some regret:

"It's a pity that Kazimierz is destined to be unable to be completely controlled like the core city of Chernobog. There are too many rats and insects in it, and I can't completely eliminate them."

"As expected, the large-scale purge in the core city was orchestrated by you."

Clearly, Ascalon was no stranger to that night of bloodshed.

"Too many people have ideas about this new city, and they think we'll play by the old rules. Unfortunately, we've never considered compromising."

Bai Ye didn't directly acknowledge Ascalon's problem, but his words spoke volumes.

“No wonder Kal'tsit said something was off about the Unarmored Alliance of the Grand Knights; it seems you got involved too,” Logos added from the side.

"As an advisor to Rhodes Island, I still have to do some things from time to time," Bai Ye grinned.

Chapter Seven: A Gathering of Heroes

The "Giant" aircraft traversed the snowstorm of Sherag, concealing itself in the blizzard, and successfully bypassed the already loosened border buffer zone, entering Victoria territory.

“There is no buffer zone between Kjerag and Victoria. Victoria built its outposts and towns just a mountain away from Kjerag.” Graceia looked at the map as the aircraft flew over Victoria’s mobile territory.

“After all, the buffer zone exists only to maintain a fragile peace between the two great powers. In Victoria’s eyes, Sherag has never been a threat. On the contrary, Victoria has some ideas about this land,” Bai Ye said slowly.

During his last casual conversation with SilverAsh, the eldest son of the Shivaesh family expressed his concerns to WhiteNight.

He worried that his hometown would be divided up by the powerful neighboring countries that were eyeing it covetously.

The location of Snowfield is indeed not good. It is surrounded by major powers. This pure land is surrounded by Victoria, Colombia and Casimir. Perhaps it still exists now, but only because the interests are not big enough and the major powers are still restraining each other and have not reached a consensus.

After all, there are only a few mineral deposits here. Apart from that, its biggest advantage is probably that it has never been affected by natural disasters and has preserved a relatively complete natural ecological environment.

Of course, it's also possible that Yeragand is protecting this land, and the people of the Snowlands are protected and blessed by the gods, so they don't have to face the terrible world outside, making it a rare pure land on this land.

"Unfortunately, the Victorians are probably too busy taking care of themselves right now," Ascalon said, looking out the porthole at the border post.

The local garrison did not appear.

“There was no decent protection whatsoever. I was worried that there might be some powerful detection equipment, but the protection was practically useless. They didn’t detect our presence at all.”

The aircraft flew overhead without anyone noticing.

“I can still feel the airflow swirling around the aircraft. But this time, it should have another purpose.” Logos looked at Bai Ye. “You’re ready.”

“Yes, I used wind to envelop the aircraft, changing the refractive index of light in the air and creating an optical cloaking effect. At the same time, the raging air currents are constantly stirring, and this restless energy will tear any extensions like our detection spells to shreds, making them mistake it for just a turbulent cyclone.” Bai Ye’s use of wind was clearly quite proficient.

In this field, if Bai Ye claims to be second, then probably no one on this land would dare to claim to be first.

“However, I think all of this is unnecessary. After all, at your current flight altitude, there are probably not many people on this land who have ever set foot here.” Logos pointed to the altitude displayed on Bai Ye’s instrument panel.

“I’ve noticed that the sky above this land has a limit… there’s something like an energy field enveloping the entire planet… um, enveloping it.” Bai Ye knew he couldn’t fly any higher.

The upper clouds were filled with high-energy stone energy, and even this specially made "Cyclops" could not withstand the bombardment of that golden lightning.

……

The white-clad aircraft flew over the various counties of Victoria. Just as Ascalon had said, the counties of Victoria were already preoccupied with their own problems. The chaos in Londinium had already affected the entire country.

The Grand Dukes' ambitions influenced other high-ranking nobles within their respective factions, who in turn affected the actual rulers of various regions throughout Victoria. Ultimately, the entire nation became a facade of unity, a facade masking underlying discord. They were wary of one another, yet simultaneously coveted the royal capital, Lentinium.

In this tense situation, they wouldn't care at all about the aircraft flying overhead so far away.

Bai Ye sped all the way to Xiaoqiu County, one of the few areas that was not yet under the control of nobles. Or rather, no one had any interest in funding the reconstruction of this ordinary town that had been ravaged by the Deeppool thugs and bombed by Originium dirty bombs.

Fortunately, there was a rescue team organized by the Adventurers' Guild. After completing the search and rescue and medical treatment, the rescue team turned into a construction team, leading the surviving residents to rebuild their homes.

"You mean those Victorian soldiers? They left after helping us with the rescue work, presumably to Victoria."

Bai Ye learned that the Storm Commandos he had rescued earlier, including the Victorian soldiers such as Horn and Bagpipe, had already left.

"Having just escaped disaster, they're heading straight for the eye of the storm? As expected of the Storm Assault Team, they don't give up easily."

In fact, according to Bai Ye's previous plan, these soldiers could secretly recuperate in Little Hill County. No one knew whether they had survived or not. A few soldiers were never within Lentinium's consideration.

However, these guys didn't choose to compromise or back down; they were incredibly stubborn.

……

Bai Ye left some supplies for his association's rescue team before continuing his journey to Lentinium.

At this moment, Lentinium was a gathering of heroes, with outstanding figures from all walks of life converging there.

Bai Ye didn't know if Hedley and Ines were still loyal to him as the nominal leader of the Sarkaz mercenaries. They were among the first tentacles Bai Ye sent to Londinium, and Sarkaz mercenaries were typically fickle.

Hedley may already be one of Therese's men.

As for W, Bai Ye was only worried about whether this crazy woman was still alive, but not about whether she would turn against him, because Bai Ye could feel her anger towards Theresis and his henchmen. If given the chance, Bai Ye had no doubt that this woman would blast all the bombs in Theresis’s face.

The only thing to worry about is whether W is still alive.

Yes, of course, besides W, White Night can also utilize Dr. Kal'tsit's intelligence network in Victoria.

These were hidden nails planted in Lentinium long ago, and they survived even after the Sarkaz had carried out several large-scale purges of the city.

Bai Ye was very curious about who had such great abilities.

Besides the Stormtroopers, the Sarkaz also need to be wary of the growing number of Grand Duke's troops outside the city. In fact, this is what the Sarkaz fear most; their situation is far from easy. They must achieve their strategic goals within a fragile balance and constraint.

Bai Ye looked at the tall city wall in the distance, but from his height, it was just a faint gray line.

Chapter Eight: White Night's Mad Plan

"Logos, look."

Bai Ye hovered the aircraft high in the sky and pointed to the tall tower in the distance:

"That's the Shard. The Victorian superweapon, but now it's fallen into the hands of the Sarkaz. Ah, the symbol of the Victorian glory and ambition, now its fruits have been plucked."

"A very powerful creation; I can feel the terrifying energy contained within it."

Compared to superweapons capable of controlling natural disasters, the strength of an individual always seems somewhat insignificant.

“From this perspective, we can destroy it in advance. This is the Sarkaz’s greatest asset, though not their entirety, it is still an important part of the plan.” Bai Ye pointed his thumb at the “Fragment Tower” and narrowed his left eye.

"Even the Sarkaz would never have imagined that someone could hover above Lentinium's head, bypassing the impenetrable city defenses, and pose a direct threat to the Shard."

Bai Ye gestured as he spoke.

Logos shook his head:

"Although the Sarkaz wouldn't have expected anyone to be able to float above them, they've already added shields to this superweapon, and the entire city's Originium reactors can power the 'Shattered Tower.' Ordinary attacks simply can't budge it in the slightest."

“Ordinary attacks are indeed ineffective, but what if I can gather energy…” Bai Ye countered.

Plasma cannons and solar winds—Bai Ye is not lacking in terrifying destructive power. In his view, if the Shard Tower could be destroyed in advance, a lot of trouble could be avoided.

"The current Londinium is teeming with too many old things and monsters... You're making such a commotion right above them, do you think they won't notice you? Even if you're in the sky and they can't do anything to you, they can still channel energy into the shield. You're going to fight against the energy of the entire Londinium?"

Logos and White Nights are working out the feasibility of his insane plan.

Clearly, conventional methods are not feasible.

Bai Ye even considered leaving the spacecraft and flying above the Shards Tower to personally destroy this superweapon...

For example, it could unleash a light beam attack from the air, or simply fall down and smash through the entire building...

However, Logos doesn't seem to be optimistic about this plan.

After all, although Logos didn't know how Bai Ye unleashed such a powerful energy bombardment, he knew that Bai Ye would have to gather energy first, and that such a large amount of energy would not go unnoticed by the powerful beings.

In that case, Bai Ye's plan to stealthily absorb energy would be doomed to failure, and he would only have one chance to gather energy. And if Bai Ye's attack failed to destroy the building, he would be in a very passive situation.

It's important to understand that while Bai Ye won't be drained dry with a single plasma cannon attack like he was in Iberia last time, launching such a devastating attack won't be easy for him either. He'll definitely be in a weakened state for a period of time after charging up.

Therefore, while airdropping the White Night is a very tempting option, it is also very risky, and Logos believes it is unnecessary.

Bai Ye, however, came up with a new plan.

"There is another way: to trigger a natural disaster and use it to destroy the superweapon that can control the disaster, or to induce their defense forces. At the same time, the massive energy fluctuations can cover my whereabouts."

"After the natural disaster drew everyone's attention, I destroyed this rubble tower with a single blow, and their ambitions..."

"?"

Logos and Ascalon stared at each other in bewilderment.

They all looked at Bai Ye in shock. A natural disaster—this destructive word—was uttered so easily by Bai Ye. Even two powerful individuals were filled with dread regarding natural disasters.

After all, the fear of natural disasters is ingrained in the Terrans' DNA; even their mobile cities were built to escape natural disasters.

“How do you trigger a natural disaster?” Logos frowned. “You want to use the Shard Tower? But that thing is probably not ready yet… Moreover, it would be very difficult for you to infiltrate the core of the Sarkaz kingdoms and the old monsters under the noses of the Blood Lord, the Carrion King, and others.”

Logos thought that Bai Ye wanted to use the "Shattered Tower" to trigger a natural disaster. Using the Sharded Tower to trigger a natural disaster in order to stop the "Shattered Tower" that could cause a natural disaster sounds like a circular paradox.

Bai Ye shook his head with a cold smile:

"Ha...who said only the Shard can control natural disasters?"

"Pfft—" Laurentina, who had been listening in the background, couldn't help but chuckle.

To bring up natural disasters in front of Bai Ye?

This guy is the real humanoid walking natural disaster. He almost successfully triggered at least two natural disasters, although he stopped at the last moment each time.

Preventing a natural disaster that has already occurred is probably not that simple.

But... what if all you want to do is launch it?

That would be relatively easier.

After all, the weather structure of this land is far too fragile; a mere push, under certain conditions, can trigger a natural disaster.

“I remember now… When Rhodes Island docked outside Lungmen last year, the Cataclysm Messenger read some unusual data. A natural disaster was about to suddenly form above our heads, but then it vanished in an instant.”

"Only a sword mark remained on the horizon..."

"I just thought someone had intervened to stop the natural disaster, but I never imagined that the person who stopped the natural disaster was actually the one who triggered it. The beginning and end of the natural disaster were actually brought about by one person?" Ascalon suddenly realized.

The doubts of the past seem to have a fairly reasonable explanation.

"Ahem, it is indeed me." Bai Ye glanced at the Legendary status on his system panel.

“Tsk, so it was you…” Ascaron clicked her tongue, then said softly, “If your plan succeeds, the superweapon that controls the creation of natural disasters might end up being destroyed by natural disasters themselves, which might be a rather ironic outcome…”

"It seems highly feasible... If you really have the ability to trigger a natural disaster, and can gather energy to unleash a devastating blow under the cover of the disaster's extremely strong energy fluctuations." Logos also approved of this plan.

However, while feasibility is certainly one aspect, there are still many other issues that require everyone to make a decision.

First, naturally, is the moral issue that triggers natural disasters…

To sacrifice an entire city in order to destroy the Sarkaz's ambitions—what difference is there between such an act and that of a demon?

What should ordinary people in Lentinium do after a natural disaster?

Chapter Nine: The True King of Rhodes Island

(Don't underestimate my intelligence network! Your NetEase Cloud Music annual music style is the best in the anime/manga genre, and the keywords are "world," "future," and "forever," right?)

-------------------------------------

Destroying the entire city and dragging everyone down with it in order to deal with the enemy is clearly not in line with Rhodes Island's principles, and such an action would also be dishonorable for Big Daddy.

If it were Bozokasti, who was still part of the Ursus army and obeyed the orders of the Ursus Emperor, and had indeed received similar orders, perhaps his father would have carried them out.

After all, obedience is a soldier's duty.

However, it is clear that the current Big Daddy has long since broken away from the Ursus army, and everything he has done since he led the guerrillas to roam the northwestern frozen lands has been out of his own will.

The current "Big Daddy" also harbors doubts about Bai Ye's incredibly crazy idea.

Rhodes Island's Ascalon and Logos share the same idea.
