The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

"..."

Seeing that Perlis did not respond, [Cang Huang] chuckled and then continued:

"I can tell you the conclusion directly: no matter what is on the Black Island, that thing is directly related to the Federation's inability to frequently use the Tower of Babel. What the Federation is doing now is to solve that hidden danger."

"For this reason, another [Blade of Babel] has come to the Dila Sea, but we cannot confirm his whereabouts."

As expected... Laplace has sent another [Blade of Babel] here... This may mean that he knew that Aoi and I were together, so he lost trust in Aoi, but he did not alert her.

"Which one?" Perlis frowned slightly.

"The strongest one," [Cang Huang] said hoarsely, "a member of the Initial Blade... the main force that killed [Attack King]..."

"【Black Angel】Suleiman Agust, Chief of 【Blade of Babel】."

"..."

Hearing the name of the Black Angel, Perlis felt a chill running down her neck, causing her to shrink her shoulders slightly.

Of course, she knew about the existence of the "Chief": he was a "Blade of Babel" that almost no one in the world had ever seen, and only existed in legends and history. No one knew his ability, no one knew his power, and those who had witnessed his power either went crazy or died, without exception.

Even Perlis, who was once the [Blade of Babel], had never seen the chief, let alone ordinary people.

"..."

Even though Perlis had already guessed the arrival of another [Blade of Babel], when she knew it was the Chief who came, her alertness reached its peak.

It must be a big deal to allow such a guy who is close to a legendary figure to appear directly... Combined with what [Cang Huang] said just now, if there really is something on the Black Island [Immotalos] that can overturn the Tower of Babel, then the target of [Black Angel] Suleiman Agust is most likely also the Black Island.

This statement can be confirmed by what Aoi said at the beginning... She said that Laplace asked all the [Blades of Babel] to "keep an eye out" for the traces of the black island... And if the [Black Angels] can personally take action, this matter can probably be confirmed that it is not as insignificant as Aoi thinks, but a high priority matter...

In this case... we must speed up...

Thinking of this, Perlis raised her head and said to [Cang Huang]:

"So what? What does this have to do with you secretly creating the monster that destroyed the Old Fleet? And what does this have to do with you allowing the Iron Lord to occupy the land of Akihara?"

Hearing this, [Cang Huang] shook his head gently, paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and said:

"Can't you see? The world is about to be changed, and we don't have time to wait any longer."

[Cang Huang] stood up and slowly walked to the edge of the Moon Pavilion, looking out at the East China Sea. Perlis could not see the face of that being, but she could see a trace of emotion from his back.

——That is sadness.

"The defeat in the [College War] was a devastating event for everyone in the world. The appearance of the [Tower of Babel] symbolized the end of the classical war and completely destroyed everyone's confidence."

As he said this, [Cang Huang] turned his head, and the mask behind the moonlight looked deep and dark:

"Do you understand? We can't force those who have seen the glory of the Tower of Babel to rise up and resist, but we can make the farmers who have lost their fields roar and rush to the fields, and make the women and children who have lost their husbands shout and raise their fists..."

“Not everyone has the awareness to fight against the Tower of Babel, but as long as they are human, they will fight for the little piece of land in front of them, maybe it’s the lost land, maybe it’s the lost family. After all, only a few people are willing to give up everything for justice and illusory honor…”

"All of this is an inevitable process. Whether it is the King of the Islands or me, we are just speeding up this process."

"Because the tide of the times is rolling in (Dila language)."

“…”

[Cang Huang] A series of words passed through Perlis's heart. Her face remained calm and peaceful, but her hands were trembling slightly without being noticed.

To fight against the devil, do I really have to abandon everything and become a devil myself?

If everything is a chess piece that can be manipulated by those in a higher position, what is left for those below?

Perlis didn't know, she couldn't refute Canghuang's argument, because she subconsciously knew that the emergence of some means was not decided by humans, but was the only choice made by absolutely rational people in extreme situations.

"..."

After a brief silence, Perlis stood up, turned around and walked out of the Moonlight Pavilion.

"Are you leaving?" [Cang Huang] cleared his throat and smiled softly, "I thought you wouldn't be satisfied so soon."

"Thank you for the information you gave me," Perlis turned her head and said coldly, "but I can't reach a consensus with you."

"Someone has to make a choice, even if it's cold and cruel," Cang Huang's voice was emotionless, "This is for Dila and all the people under the tower."

"I cannot agree with that," Perlis said coldly, "If you really care about the country and the people as much as you say, why don't you go to the front lines in person to see the consequences of your decision?"

"Do you have the courage to go to the front lines in person and testify for your cause (in Dila)?"

After she finished speaking, Perlis's figure flashed lightly and disappeared in a red light. The back garden under the moon returned to its original peaceful state.

And [Canghuang] just stared silently at the place where Perlis disappeared, without saying a word.

After a long while, this being turned his face towards the east and said in a disembodied voice:

"For the greater cause (Dila)."

......

After Perlis returned to the hotel and shared all the information with Aoi, the two had a brief discussion.

Finally, they came to a unanimous conclusion: to go to the hub of Umigiri Island and prepare to participate in Odara's next action against Akihara.

According to Aoi, the fact that the Iron Lord possessed the Black Emblem was definitely beyond the expectations of the Black Angel. That guy has not shown up until now, and it is highly likely that he has not yet tracked down this clue.

If he appeared nearby, with Perlis and Aoi's anti-reconnaissance capabilities, it would be impossible for him not to be discovered.

Therefore, taking the [Black Emblem] from the [Iron Lord] is the only way to reach the Black Island before Laplace.

"..."

9) The Great Landing (Part 4)

"Om-"

With the whistle of the "Sudden Awakening" sounding, the battleship slowly sailed into the almost destroyed port and anchored with difficulty.

Perlis was shocked by the dilapidated state of the port: the infrastructure was torn apart at will by some terrifying force, like a forest swept by a storm, or the earth torn apart by a meteor.

Just by walking in the port, Perlis could roughly imagine the power of the [Babel Prism]. She recalled the red light that tore through the sky and earth during the battle to retake Charon, and couldn't help but frowned.

Do we really have to face this kind of thing?

Perlis subconsciously rubbed her wrist gently. She remembered the severe pain when her wrist was casually broken by Mikhail, and the resistance in her heart reached its peak.

Aoi, who was standing by, saw what Perlis was doing, smiled softly, and patted her on the shoulder:

"You faced it alone that time, but this time there are many people with you."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Perlis turned her head away and looked at Aoi with disdain, "Please don't speculate on other people's thoughts."

"Oh? Was my guess right?" Aoi blinked with a smile.

Seeing this, Perlis sighed helplessly and nodded.

"you are right."

"..."

Following the team across the dock, Perlis once again stepped onto the cobblestone road of Ankamouth. Although there was no thick fog here, and there were no algae and shells on the buildings, just walking on the street, Perlis couldn't help but recall the coolness that permeated her back.

So... what exactly is in the fourth-floor tomb under the church... Thinking about this, Perlis recalled the whisper that passed by her ear at that time:

"Look up and see the beautiful stars."

Stars... what could they be? It's not like I haven't seen the stars in the sky before... if those were really the so-called "stars", then why was I so scared at that time...

Speaking of stars... there is also what my mother said to me in the sea of ​​flowers: "Perlis, you come from the stars." Is there any connection between this star and that star? Stars... stars... stars...

As she thought about this, Perlis felt as if a large number of stars really appeared in front of her, spinning around, making her a little dizzy.

She simply shook her head, put all the messy thoughts into the little black box in her heart, and focused her attention back on reality.

At this moment, the team has arrived at the area that Thebit had previously set up as its base camp: the Ankamouth Town Council Hall.

At the door of the meeting hall, a hunchbacked old man had been waiting for a long time. Perlis noticed that he was wearing a hood, and his half-hidden dark face looked haggard and old, and he was obviously very old.

"It's... Miss Kiku and Miss Paris... right?"

The old man looked at Perlis and Aoi at the front of the team and gave a toothless smile.

"Please come in... Miss Ayane has been waiting for a long time..."

Miss Kiku and Miss Paris...? Perlis and Aoi looked at each other and were stunned for a moment before they realized that the old man probably got their names wrong...

It’s okay to mistake sunflower and chrysanthemum, they are both flowers. But how are “Perlis” and “Paris” similar? They are pronounced differently!

Just as Perlis was about to say something, she heard Aoi nodding to the old man with a smile and saying:

"Yes, I am Ju. Thank you for your hard work."

After that, Aoi pulled Perlis into the meeting room and headed to the conference hall under the guidance of the soldiers.

Along the way, Perlis, who was called by the wrong name, was still a little stunned. She walked in silence for a long time, then pulled the corner of Kui's clothes, and said in a somewhat depressed tone:

"By the way, I noticed that your name is also Hua..."

"Oh? It seems so. Kui is also the name of a flower." Kui smiled gently. "So, since your name is Little White Flower, can I also be called Little Sunflower?"

"Aren't you Chrysanthemum?" Perlis glanced at Aoi with disdain. "I think I'll just call you Little Chrysanthemum."

"Hey! You can't yell like that!"

"..."

After playing and joking for a while, the two finally arrived at the meeting room inside the conference hall. Surrounded by strict guards, the two entered the room with a large table and a large screen.

At the end of the table, Miss Ayane had been waiting for a long time:

"Welcome, Miss Perlis, Miss Aoi."

Ayane looked at Perlis and nodded at her with a smile, which surprised Perlis a little.

Is it because of my achievements in the Broken Isles? I feel that her attitude has become much more enthusiastic.

Thinking of this, Perlis and Aoi sat down at the table together, waiting for the meeting to begin.

After a while, many figures in high-ranking military uniforms entered the conference room one by one, including Admiral Fujita Hideo, the captain of the "Ice Ocean", and Admiral Furukawa Wataru, the captain of the "Blue Reef". After everyone sat down at the table, Miss Ayane stood up and cleared her throat:

"Everyone, since we have gathered here under the call of His Majesty the Canghuang, everyone should know what we are going to do."

Aoi said, pointing to the display screen behind him, which was showing the scene of [Frontier] destroying the port.

"The route was blocked by the storm, and all the stockpiled supplies were destroyed. We don't have time to accumulate energy for a protracted war again. The [Infinite Steel Legion] is about to cross the center line of Akihara. If they do, we will be unable to save the situation."

As he spoke, the image on the big screen switched again, this time focusing on the status of various fleets on different islands in the Misty Strait.

"The existing supplies of each fleet are enough to support a large-scale military operation. If we can use this to recapture part of the Akihara area, control the supply chain and sea control, and prevent the Iron Lord from using mysterious power to travel to the Sea Mist Island, we can complete the reconstruction of the material hub and supply chain."

"For this reason, after discussions in the think tank, we have set our target as Tieling Town on the east coast of Qiuzhiyuan. As long as we can seize control of the sea on this beach and then use blitzkrieg to penetrate deep into the interior, we can destroy the camp of the Thebite Third Legion in one fell swoop, severely damaging their strength, and even directly cut off their supply lines."

A route from the Misty Strait to the Autumn Plain appeared on the big screen, with a town and its supporting port at the end. Not far from the port was the camp of the Third Legion of Thebite.

"According to our briefing, [Iron Lord] Mikhail Irenfono has been in the Third Legion camp for a long time. After completing the large landing, we have no time to rest and need to go straight to the Third Camp immediately. Therefore, we will use the strongest force as the vanguard."

After saying that, Ayane turned her gaze towards Perlis and Aoi and gave them a gentle smile:

"The blade that can break cold steel must be the sharpest blade in the world."

"Ms. Perlis, Ms. Aoi, I will appoint you as the advance team for the landing."

......

9) The Great Landing (Part 5)

East Coast - Tieling Town - Autumn Field

"..."

In the bustling town, countless Thebite soldiers wearing powerful armor were carrying supplies in an orderly manner and building fortifications around them.

The Thebit soldiers had dug countless trenches on the beach near the town, heavy firepower bunkers were built one after another, and densely packed steel equipment began to be deployed on the coast, like a steel forest.

"..."

On the coast, Vans Monark looked at the mist in the distance, exhaled deeply, and shook his shoulders.

His black pupils were a little blurry, and he exhaled bursts of white air. If you looked at his back, you would think he was smoking to relieve his sorrow.

"Young master, are you still a little scared?"
