Then, Bai Ye raised his head and looked at the airship.
“Let’s go, let’s get away from here,” he said.
"That big guy, should we just ignore it? We can use that ability again and smash it to pieces, right?" Laurentina asked.
Bai Ye rolled her eyes:
"You want to drain me dry?"
"Cough, I really do want to..." Laurentina muttered.
Then, Goredia, who had a stern face, grabbed his ear.
“That airship…something’s not right…” Ascalon suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and then discovered that the guy's flight path seemed a bit off.
“Hmm? Dead souls… I can hear their wails and release; that immense will is crumbling.” Logos murmured, looking at the sky.
In fact, it wasn't just Logos; the entire Sarkaz of Lontinim felt as if a sigh was coming from their ears, and a strange unease settled in their hearts, as if something was drifting away from them.
The airship's altitude decreased, and by this point, everyone was certain that the airship, which had been flying steadily, had gone out of control and was crashing towards the ground.
"Hurry up." Ascalon finally understood what Bai Ye meant by "go far away."
The airship was clearly crashing towards their current location, so they had to run as fast as they could.
Moreover, the ground was already scorching hot, but fortunately everyone was a Super Terran, so they were able to endure the heat.
"You've pretty much ruined Londinium today," Ascalon couldn't help but complain.
"As long as the goal is achieved, that's all that matters." Bai Ye seemed to be in a good mood.
"How did you do that?" Logos asked, puzzled. He didn't know what it was; it was unlike any kind of sorcery he was familiar with.
“That is my will,” Bai Ye replied earnestly.
If we return to Bai Ye's perspective from the beginning, in a state of accelerated thinking, he unleashed a sword strike of will. This sword flew towards the sky, annihilating the remaining will of the Blood Demon Lord within the Blood of Tikaz. Then it continued to fly upwards, piercing through the core of the dead soul within the airship.
Shine, will!
Chapter Sixty-Two: The Current Situation in Londinium
(Palu is quite fun; you can be a Palu while writing and play Palu after get off work.)
-------------------------------------
"The commotion we caused today was quite significant..." Bai Ye looked at the ruins in front of him and couldn't help but scratch his head.
"It's alright, but I still feel it wasn't as big a scene as it was in Saltwind City last time. Maybe the enemy wasn't as strong that time, but they were much larger," Goredia commented.
Having lost the control of the dead spirits, the airship quickly went out of control, but instead of crashing immediately, it was propelled by inertia and plunged towards the ground at a downward angle.
Undead are a branch of the Sarkaz, an incredibly peculiar existence. They can reside within machines, controlling them and even providing them with energy through this possession. In the past, the Great Forge of Kazdel contained many undead, who still murmur about the Sarkaz's betrayal of them.
Finally, this behemoth, somewhat resembling "gay zero wave zero," crashed to the ground. The massive airship smashed right through the already riddled ground.
The buildings weren't destroyed by the airships, after all, there were hardly any intact buildings in the area when the airships crashed down.
Logos's spells could indeed protect everyone, but that was all. The sea of blood manipulated by the Blood Demon Lord almost leveled everything around them, and the Blood Court also had offspring and retinues that were almost like an army. The damage they caused clearly exceeded the scope of ordinary battles.
This doesn't even take into account the aftershocks caused by the battles of these powerful figures present. Goreia is capable of breaking the sound barrier; even the mere touch of her feet on the ground can cause immense destruction. And Skadi's sword, while slaying the Blood Demon Lord's offspring, also left the surrounding area riddled with holes.
This place is now almost a ruin. Not to mention the spot where the Blood Demon Lord stood just now, which was directly melted through by Bai Ye's high-energy rays, and the ground has turned into a state similar to the lava near the Shards Tower.
Of course, these are relatively normal acts of damage. In fact, the real culprit that caused this plot of land to be almost completely destroyed is probably W.
Bai Ye hadn't expected that the ruthless mercenary would actually plant such a high-energy stone explosive near her safe house. Was she planning to blow the entire area up and send it flying into the sky?
The effect was quite good; almost all the twisted flesh-and-blood creatures surrounding Skadi and the others perished in the explosion. However, the safe house here is probably no longer needed and must be abandoned according to standard procedures.
……
In this respect, Therese seems to be relatively lucky; his body was preserved fairly well, with only a broken arm and no other major injuries.
As for the Blood Demon Lord, after being hit head-on by Bai Ye's "Solar Wind" ray, his physical body was completely annihilated, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Only the drop of Tikkaz blood in White Night's inventory can prove that this ancient ruler of the royal court once existed.
“This is probably the greatest destruction Lontinim has suffered since the coup of 1072…” Ascalon stared silently at the ruins before him.
"Uh, you're too conservative. This is probably the most serious one since Aslan entered the pass..." Bai Ye said somewhat awkwardly.
After all, the Western Hall of the Holy Kings Society had probably never suffered such damage since its reconstruction. The walls and floors were smashed through; if the people of Londinium had seen it with their own eyes, they would probably have died of rage.
Ascalon and the others are probably unaware of these things.
So, Bai Ye briefly recounted what had happened, including the destroyed cargo ship, the "Life Spine" made from Ersula's skeleton, the death of the heavyweight Theresis, and the mercenary trio who appeared to collect his body.
Of course, the most crucial factor is the current state of the Sarkaz.
“Rentinium is currently facing a huge mess that needs to be cleaned up. While most of it has nothing to do with us, there are many things that we should get involved in,” Bai Ye said softly, looking at the ruins before him.
For example, this relocation site has already endured too much today; it might be more cost-effective to scrap it altogether than to undertake major repairs. These are not issues that Bai Ye needs to consider. The reason is simple: right now, it's still uncertain who truly holds power in Victoria.
Clearly, with the deaths of Theresis and the Lord of the Blood Court, Theresia, who was forcibly resurrected by Theresis and the Absolute Master using secret arts, has also disappeared. The Sarkaz in Londinium are now almost leaderless.
General Friedman of the Sarkaz royal court managed to maintain order among the Sarkaz people as he led his troops to retreat out of Londinium, with Theresis ordering them to leave as quickly as possible.
The King of Carrion leads his royal court to cover the rear of the remaining Sarkaz army, which is the absolute elite of the royal army, and they need to draw nourishment from war.
As for the mercenaries, they are now in complete chaos. Fortunately, with the restraint of figures like Friedman, they have maintained a certain level of discipline. However, as news of Therese's death gradually spreads, it is only a matter of time before they return to chaos.
Of course, the most important thing for the Sarkaz people right now is to figure out how to evacuate from the city.
Now, the entire city of Londinium is in complete chaos due to the strong intervention of White Night.
After a natural disaster, homeless people and refugees affected by the disaster;
The Londinium Citizens' Self-Salvation Army opened up the unguarded prisons and factories, and rescued the citizens who had been enslaved.
Thugs who arise from chaos or evolve from street gangs;
The remaining Sarkaz, who had not yet retreated and were gradually becoming frenzied, and the Victorians, who hated them and began to ruthlessly attack their fallen foes, were determined to seek revenge...
None of these are considered heavyweights. At that very moment, the allied forces of the Grand Dukes were also heading towards Londinium.
Lentinium's throne has been effectively vacant for over twenty years due to its strange political landscape since the coup of 1072 and the Sarkaz's entry into the country four years ago.
This is abnormal for a core group of countries.
Now that the Sarkaz have been driven out and the calamities have struck, the unbearable vacancy on the throne for the Grand Dukes is about to end...
Chapter Sixty-Three Kirov
"Tsk, looks like you've gotten yourself into a lot of trouble..." Ascalon was speechless at the current situation in Lontinim.
Bai Ye rolled her eyes:
"Don't just walk away like that, you've clearly been involved in this operation too..."
After a pause, he added:
"Moreover, as you know, if we let them continue like this, the entire Terra could be doomed."
At this moment, Bai Ye finally understood why the system's assessment showed he had indeed done something significant. He had practically saved the world and its existing civilization. If the Sarkaz's plan had succeeded, not only would Terra's current civilization have been jeopardized, but even Luna's grand plan might have been thwarted.
(Luna, yes! yes!)
Londinium was destined to be a super powder keg that would explode sooner or later. Bai Ye merely defused it beforehand. Although the situation was bad enough, leaving behind a huge mess, this outcome was still much better than it exploding directly and blowing the entire land into the air.
Moreover, this situation isn't solely Bai Ye's fault. It's unfair to say he should bear all the blame just because he exposed the final layer of secrecy. In fact, the seeds of chaos in Lontinim were sown around 1072. And going back even further, it can be traced back to Aslan's expulsion of Drak.
If anyone were to delve deeper, perhaps from the very beginning, when the struggle between King Drak and King Gael began and the Pasha of Aslan seized the opportunity to enter the pass, Londinium had already been racing toward a less-than-ideal future.
……
Bai Ye glanced at the surrounding ruins. Although his basic objective in coming to Lentinium had been achieved, his work was far from over.
At least for now, he still has a lot of things to deal with and can't rest yet.
"Let the Cyclops land first."
Even now, the enormous aircraft remains suspended high in the sky, but with the deaths of the Regent and the Blood Demon Lord, its mission is essentially complete. Under the control of the intelligent system, the aircraft begins its descent and soon appears before everyone.
However, although the "Cyclops" is already a behemoth, it still seems somewhat insignificant compared to an existence of the scale of an airship.
When the White Night's aircraft descended from the sky and hovered above the airship that had crashed on the ground, the contrast between the two immediately became apparent.
However, while airships are enormous, they are relatively lightweight. After all, if such a behemoth were as heavy as it was, it wouldn't be able to fly. Even the strongest objects have their limits; otherwise, various flying machines would be filling the skies long ago.
"Although taking advantage of someone's misfortune isn't my style... this thing is still our spoils of war, and I'm not going to leave it here and let the Londinium people profit from it."
Bai Ye is purely driven by player mentality. Even if he might not need it, he won't let it go. If the airship weren't so big that it couldn't fit in his inventory, Bai Ye would have taken it long ago.
Well, of course he could also draw his sword and cut the entire airship into several pieces, then preserve them separately, but that would be incomplete. As someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Bai Ye prefers to preserve things as they are.
Using extremely strong cables, Bai Ye secured the airship to the bottom of the aircraft, so that the airship could be hoisted up with the ropes after the "Cyclops" took off.
Obviously, being big has its advantages and benefits. For example, the giant aircraft, White Night, even with an airship much larger than itself mounted underneath, still did not exceed its maximum takeoff weight.
Bai Ye planned to first use an aircraft to transport the airship back to the core city. The "Cyclops" was equipped with an advanced artificial intelligence system that could complete the transport mission for Bai Ye without a pilot. Moreover, after entering the airspace of the Chernobog core city, Luna could directly take over the system to complete the landing and unloading operations.
The White Night Control System activated its optical stealth and anti-Originium Arts detection functions. He was still quite cautious, especially since he wasn't actually on the aircraft and there was no telling what problems might arise during the journey.
However, judging from the aircraft's path planning, there shouldn't be any major problems. It will basically pass through safe airspace, such as the snowy Shelag, Casimir, and Lungmen.
"The core city is probably going to be shocked by you again..." Goredia couldn't help but complain as she looked at the huge thing hanging under the aircraft.
"I hope they don't just shoot down my big toy... After all, it has an air defense identification code." Bai Ye nodded.
Therefore, optical stealth may also be to prevent friendly forces from accidentally damaging the airship.
It's a bit of a pity that the dead souls above have been completely annihilated by Bai Ye's shining will. Bai Ye was actually quite curious about what form this kind of life form actually took.
It might be quite interesting to attach it to a specially designed powered armor, especially one of those monster-level mechs designed without considering the pilot. There wouldn't even be a need for a space to install an operating system and processor.
……
After dealing with the airship issue, Bai Ye finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, he had been in a state of tension ever since he entered Londinium's airspace, but luckily everything went smoothly.
Fortunately, Logos and Big Daddy arrived together, otherwise Bai Ye would not have had the chance to fight Theresis one-on-one, and he would have had to take Logos's place to fight the Blood Demon Lord.
“Grandpa, it seems that what was predicted didn’t happen.” Thinking of this, Bai Ye tapped his grandpa’s thigh, which was covered by a metal shell.
Yes, Big Daddy didn't come here specifically to help Bai Ye; his purpose in coming here was to fight against fate. After receiving reports of sightings of the Demon Lord Theresia reappearing in Londinium, Big Daddy decided to come here.
He believed in prophecy and fate, yet he also wanted to use his own strength to fight against it. So, he both submitted to fate by appearing in Londinium and began to defy it.
"..." The eldest uncle didn't speak. He also seemed to feel that something was wrong. The Demon King hadn't appeared at all.
Could it be that the intelligence was false?
Chapter Sixty-Four: Betrayal
Of course, Big Uncle was willing to help Bai Ye. When Bai Ye was leveling up, it was also his most vulnerable time. Big Uncle stepped forward and stood in front of Bai Ye to block Theresis's attack for him.
However, he felt something was off. According to the prophecy, the son of Hurtikts, the traitor of the Sarkaz and the dishonorable at the end of the bloodline, would be executed by the ruler of the Sarkaz.
This was also a prophecy that appeared when their Wendigo royal court left Kazdel two hundred years ago.
However, things seemed to be different from what he had imagined. When he resolved to face the Demon King's judgment and his own fate, it seemed the whole world was playing a cruel joke on him. Even the Regent and the Lord of the Blood Court had submitted their orders, yet the so-called Demon King's judgment did not appear.
“Hmm, perhaps you are not an dishonorable person…” Bai Ye came up with a more reasonable explanation.
"..." The eldest uncle did not speak.
However, he seemed to have found some peace with it. After all, the royal court was in ruins, and the future of the Sarkaz had been entrusted to White Night by Theresisto. As the de facto ruler of the Wendigo royal court, and the last pure-blooded Wendigo, Big Daddy found that he felt he bore an even greater responsibility.
Although Big Daddy and Logos share similar views—they disapprove of the current Kazdel Military Council—they cannot relinquish their ties to the Sarkaz race. After all, he is also a Sarkaz, and moreover, a ruler of a royal court.
Reviving the Sarkaz race, and at the very least, protecting them from retaliation and aggression by other core nations, was also his duty.
Therefore, dwelling on the so-called prophecy is largely meaningless. As Bai Ye said, when the prosperity of the Sarkaz race is linked to his choices, he is no longer a traitor to the Sarkaz, nor is he dishonorable. The Demon King has no right to judge or execute him.
“I understand. It seems my old bones still have some use,” the old man said in a deep voice. “I will continue to fight.”
Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh:
“Big Daddy, you have a long life ahead of you. As a pure-blooded Wendigo, you probably can’t be called an old man yet.”
