Rhode Island Park Project

The ice crystal sword in the guard's hand also joined the flying ice crystals in front of the fallen giant sword.

The bare hilt of the sword was blown away from the guard's hand by the violent force, and rolled away on the floor with bumps and bruises. The huge force even made the guard's right hand holding the sword bleed, and his arm and palm took on a strange and frightening shape.

What is even more terrifying than the violent strength and huge stature is that while maintaining these two, the speed can even make people unable to react in time.

The guards hadn't considered engaging the Iron Knight head-on, but the other party's sword swing was too fast...

"..."

He lowered his useless right hand, pulled out a dagger from his leg with his left hand, and stared at the tall, dark iron knight in front of him.

He didn't know whether the one in front of him was the Steam Knight, but,

"If you want to get through, just step over me."

"You are an excellent soldier. I will respect your wishes."

Wells whispered.

This guard's strength is actually not bad. If he were still a shield guard, it would not even be possible to guarantee the outcome.

But now, even if he didn't do much, the opponent's sword would hardly leave a mark on his armor.

Wells thrust out the longsword in his hand. The blade, which could be called a giant sword for a human, pierced through the guard's chest along with the fragile dagger without any hesitation.

Blood gushed out from the guard's chest and mouth, and suddenly turned into a torrent of frost and pounced on the armored knight in front of him.

There was no surprise. While watching the energy reaction flashing in his vision, Wells crossed the shield in his hand in preparation.

The thick metal barrier left no room for the frost that the guards never gave up on, even at the last moment. Until the very end, the pitch-black steel remained unchanged by the war and passion.

Slowly raising his head from behind the shield, Wells looked at the old man behind the guard, as well as the other frightened crew members and soldiers in the bridge.

A deep voice rang out through the armored speakers in the silent bridge:

"I'm only announcing this to you once—

You are now our prisoners."

……

Battleship deck.

After a series of hardships and dangers that no one wants to mention, the escort troops of the first batch of warships finally climbed up from the outer armor of the warships with difficulty.

But it was not quite the same as what the soldiers had imagined. The fierce battlefield that they had expected did not appear in front of them.

There were hideous holes of varying sizes scattered everywhere, the command tower was half collapsed, and the decks, filled with black smoke, were so quiet that it was even frightening.

"The First Armored Battalion of Rhodes Island hereby declares—"

At this moment, a huge broadcast suddenly sounded above everyone's head.

The soldiers who had just stepped onto the deck and those who were still around the ship couldn't help but look up at the highest point of the bridge where the broadcast came from.

A pitch-black steel figure stood on the top of a tall tower, holding a somewhat indistinguishable figure in his hand.

The rolling broadcast voice came again:

"Your commander has been captured by us. The battleship's power room has entered overload mode. The ammunition depot and fuel tank have been captured by us and will be detonated in 5 minutes.

—I hope you will not let our doctor’s kind reminder go to waste.”

The rumbling sound was still spreading, and the figure on the top of the tower rose into the air on the spot under the gaze of everyone, flying towards the distance. Several flames rose from various parts of the warship and followed behind.

Those who understood the structure of the battleship knew what the positions of the flames meant, but the soldiers who had just stepped onto the battleship deck looked at the floor under their feet, and then,

It exploded directly.

“Don’t come up here!!”

"/*Victoria swears*/, let me off!!"

“Get down!!”

The army was already in a mess, and now it became even more chaotic.

The people at the top wanted to go down, but the people in the middle were still crowded. The people at the bottom wanted to run away directly, but someone questioned the enemy's declaration and asked people to continue to go up.

It was not until the surviving crew members finally rushed out of the battleship after the armored knight left that the others finally confirmed that the battleship was doomed.

Some officers in the army used binoculars and various means to see Count Ernst in the hands of the armored knight from the very beginning, and drove their cars away from the warship.

No one would want to experience up close what the effect would be like if a warship that was fully loaded with armaments but had not fired a single shot, plus an ample supply of fuel and a power compartment, exploded.

The entire area surrounding the battleship was a scene of apocalypse. Soldiers, without command, were running around in disarray, scrambling for vehicles. Some even had people clinging to the outsides of their vehicles, while others simply drove out alone. No one had the leisure to pay attention to the enemy in this battle.

On the other side, the armored knight had just landed from the sky with Ernst, the mastermind, in front of Luo Hang and the Duke of Windermere.

"Report, the First Armored Team successfully completed the mission!"

"Thanks for the hard work, it's beautifully done."

The sword guards around them unconsciously became alert when they saw the armored knight landing on the deck, while Luo Hang had a happy smile on his face that came from the heart.

He looked at the dejected old man brought by Captain Wells.

to be honest……

do not know.

Theoretically, this person should not be an important person, so he did not remember him, but the adjutant provided the information.

"Are you the uncle of the previous inquisitor? Count Ernst?"

Seeing the information displayed by the adjutant, Luo Hang remembered that this was the name that the examiner had used to threaten him before.

"You've made such a big fuss over a nephew. Are your relatives pretty good?"

He looked at the mushroom cloud rising into the sky in the distance with a look of regret.

The sweeping gale formed a visible white wave that spread across the vast wilderness.

After a while, the rumbling sound and the howling wind swept over the ship where the group was.

The explosion caused such a spectacular scene that the original escort troops were scattered beyond recognition and there was basically no hope for them anymore.

"The Duke of Windermere, and the King...hahaha, hahaha."

Kneeling in the strong wind, his clothes and hair swaying in the wind, Ernst laughed wildly. "Kill me if you want! You've destroyed my family's only heir and the promise I kept to my brother. It was you, Victoria, who betrayed me first!!"

"...?"

Luo Hang tilted his head in confusion, then turned to look at the Duke of Windermere who was protecting Daphne in the strong wind. "What does Your Excellency the Duke think of this Earl?"

"Since this is Mr. Luo Hang's victory, you can decide how to deal with it."

The Duke of Windermere didn't even spare a glance at the angry old man kneeling on the ground.

Luo Hang also nodded, then casually waved to the armored knight in front of him.

"Then let's just find a place to solve it."

He didn't even bother to debate with such a guy.

But for Ernst, this was hard to accept.

"you--!"

His eyes widened as he stared at the man who was so easily willing to execute him. "How ridiculous! I've made great contributions to Victoria, yet the Grand Duke and the King are being manipulated by others. Victoria will never recognize you! You can never represent Victoria!!"

"..."

Luo Hang sighed, "Since you like to keep calling Victoria so much, then let's give him a trial."

He looked at Wells.

"Please work harder--"

A moment later, the First Armored Team brought Ernst to the open space in front of the Duke of Windermere's ship, and the team members continued to disperse and fly towards the distant battlefield.

A few minutes later, several armored knights each brought one or two people back to Ernst who was stationed in Wales, and then abandoned the panicked soldiers in their hands.

"You captured my soldiers, what else do you want to do? You have no right to judge me! And don't even think about using my soldiers to coerce me!!"

Ernst glared at the armored knight standing in front of him, without any sign of lowering his head.

Wells's emotionless voice rang out.

"It seems you really didn't leave much of an impression on them. But that's okay. Since you still know they are your soldiers, they will decide your life or death... as you call them Victoria."

"what?"

Before Ernst could fully comprehend the situation, the armored knights around him had already taken off and left the area, leaving him and his soldiers alone.

What does it mean?

Ernst was indeed confused for a moment, but his qualities as a commander allowed him to put aside the doubts in his mind for the time being and look at his soldiers.

"Whatever their tricks are, we don't need to show our ugly side. Come with me out of here."

"..."

No one responded, and no one even came up to help the old man who had lost too much blood and was weak and kneeling on the ground.

"you--"

"It seems you really don't remember me."

A soldier looked at the Earl, who had never been so destitute, with a complicated expression, and continued, "My father came to visit me in the barracks and ran into your good nephew. He caught him for a minor infraction and broke my father's leg. As a result, my father became depressed and ill in his hospital bed, and he died with his eyes open.

And I had to stay in the military to take care of my mother, who was also devastated and seriously ill."

Another soldier's voice rang out.

"That beast raped my sister—"

Next,

"It seems you don't know how I became a toy for your nephew to abuse and amuse himself in the army."

Count Ernst's face gradually turned pale.

He looked at the soldiers who gradually gathered around him, one after another, who should have been loved by him and undoubtedly belonged to his city and his Victoria, and finally smiled sadly.

The not-so-grand special ship belonging to the Duke of Windermere was still quietly docked not far away where the soldiers could see it, but they still surrounded the kneeling earl in the center.

It was difficult to tell who did it, but when the crowd dispersed, all that was left in the desolate wilderness was an old man lying in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open.

The Duke of Windermere withdrew his gaze from the trial in the wilderness and looked at Luo Hang beside him, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

"Rhodes Island's intelligence capabilities seem to be much stronger than I expected."

It is not an easy task to accurately find these soldiers who have been bullied from the chaotic army.

Others might be focusing on this trial, but the Duke of Windermere had seen too many similar things, so she was focusing on some more subtle details that were difficult to notice.

"Your Excellency the Duke also has excellent intelligence personnel, doesn't he?"

Luo Hang smiled and glanced at Dai Feien who was beside the Duke.

The reason why this girl was in Londinium was because this Miss Windermere was actually the intelligence chief of Windermere and was doing intelligence work in Londinium at the time.

As for him, his adjutant had only found some things in Count Ernst's military archives.

"Haha, I have to agree with Mr. Luo Hang's statement."

When talking about their daughter, the two seemed to have a common topic, and even the expression on the Duke of Windermere's face softened a lot.

"But this time in Londinium, there was still a lot of information that we couldn't take away in time, so we had to destroy it on the spot..."

Dai Feien himself said somewhat unwillingly.

"Your return is the greatest value to me and the entire Duchy of Windermere, my daughter."

Raising his hand and gently stroking his daughter's hair, the Duke of Windermere looked at Luo Hang.

He didn't know what had happened before, but the Duke seemed to be looking at him with a more intimate look than at the beginning.

"Mr. Luo Hang gave the enemy troops five minutes to evacuate, and he also proactively warned them. If they had treated that place as a trap, there wouldn't be many men left in this unit."

"But they are ordinary soldiers, ordinary Victorians, aren't they? When the country is stable again and the King is back on the throne, they will be His Majesty's subjects."

The Duke of Windermere looked at the future King behind Luo Hang, then looked at Luo Hang who was still smiling, and a sigh appeared on his face.
