The Shard.

The brother and sister stood on the vast platform and looked at the flaming airship in the distance.

"...Looks like it's time."

Tracy spoke calmly.

Theresa's expression was even more indifferent, even seeming detached from the world.

Her current state has been completely controlled by the Sarkaz souls to prevent her own selfishness from affecting the outcome.

"The main forces of each party have not yet fully entered the area we have designated in advance."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we can eliminate more than half of their army, victory will essentially be ours. After all, what we created this time wasn't just a natural disaster."

Theresa nodded slightly.

"The original Originium may contain the secrets of the entire universe, but it is indisputable that it can transform the entire world into a part of it."

"That's still a theoretical goal. The Shard can serve as our central tower for future research and control, but this time, we only need to unleash a small fraction of its expected capabilities to achieve victory."

The array pattern covering the vast platform slowly lit up as the two talked. The dark clouds that had been accumulating over the city for many days roared with thunder for the first time. Even at noon, the flashing lightning was still dazzling.

underground tunnel.

"Oh no! The Sarkaz are about to activate the Shard!"

Aleda's expression changed. "How far are we from the optimal target point now?"

"This is still one kilometer away."

"No, it's too late!"

"Go above ground! No need to worry about hiding! There are too many detours underground, we must break through in a straight line!"

Aledae's expression changed constantly.

Of course, it would be faster to go in a straight line on the ground, but they were now near the Shard, in the core area where the enemy's defenses were most stringent!

Giving up hiding means fighting your way through countless Sarkaz.

"Let's go."

A familiar and calm voice sounded in her ears, and a hand rested on her shoulder.

Aledae turned her head and saw Vina's profile, which was so calm that it often gave her a headache.

Because Vina was often so calm and looked as if she didn't care when facing the doctor's strange requests, so she sometimes secretly complained that Vina's expression should be more excited, but at this time, the calm profile in front of her made her feel unusually at ease and peaceful.

"I've already planned to raise the sword in my hand in anticipation of the enemy's siege. Now I'm just bringing this process forward a bit."

What Vina said was true, but it was also not true.

The collision between Breath of Kings and The Shard will not happen overnight. This process requires someone to guard it, which is indeed what they originally planned.

But in such an environment, holding on for even a second would definitely not be an easy task. Moreover, they were not only defending but also trying to break through at full speed. How could it be possible as Vina said...

Aledae was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

"If you didn't always do all sorts of terrible things with the Doctor, I would really think you would be an excellent leader and a good king, Vina."

Vina blinked.

"If you did those things, you can't be a good leader and a good king?"

There's no necessary connection, but—

Aledae had a conflicted expression.

A great king!

Tangtang... Never mind, that's it, she gave up.

Aledai quickly operated on the screen and said:

"This is the King's Squad, notifying all teams that the final plan will proceed ahead of schedule.

"Repeat, final planning is ahead of schedule, and action begins now."

Aledai turned her head and looked at Vina, revealing a helpless and teasing expression that didn't quite fit the current situation:

"Let's go, Your Majesty, we will follow you in the charge."

Indra immediately pounded his fist and shouted:

"Ohhh, I can't hold it back any longer! Our king is the king of advancement!!"

……

“Clang—”

"what sound?"

The Sarkaz guarding the alley turned around and was faced with a heavy hammer.

“噗噢！”

The dazzling golden hair finally came into the sunlight. Even though the sky was covered by dark clouds, it still couldn't conceal the dazzling luster like a golden lion.

"It's time for you to come out again, old friend."

Vina held the most familiar hammer in her hand, with a sword slung over her waist, and walked towards the exit of the alley.

The cold wind blew up the king's golden hair and the corners of his clothes.

"Everyone——"

“Follow me!!”

……

"boom!"

The sudden movement attracted the attention of countless guards in the core area of ​​the Sarkaz, which remained quiet even now.

"Enemy attack!"

"They're approaching the Shard!"

"Stop them!"

"How did these guys get here?!"

How did you get here?

Vina, who was at the front of the team, recalled the words she had heard before.

...These pipes are the blood vessels of the city and part of your home.

Yes--

"This is in my house!"

Chapter 564 Tracy:?

"...A sudden appearance of a small group? And they even spotted the new King Athrun."

Tracy, who was standing at the top of the Shard, received the news first.

Looking into the distance from his position, he could even see the bustling scene rising from the originally quiet core area of ​​the city.

"..."

In just a brief moment, he realized the reason why the new king was suddenly exposed at this special time and place.

"Carrying that sword... that's the style that person can create."

Theresa also looked over.

"How can a young lion stand up to the Shard? That person is too arrogant."

Theresa's words were cold, and in fact, the person who was speaking could no longer be called Theresa. 'She' had no connection to the people she once knew.

"It's hard to believe that the young new king could face the Shard, but since he made such a decision, he must have made preparations to make the impossible possible."

"You think highly of him."

"I dare not underestimate him."

"What are you going to do?"

"Wait, wait until he shows any signs. And what we have to do is not focus on what's in front of us."

Theresa nodded.

The top of the distant building fell silent again, but the city below became increasingly noisy.

Moments after the King of Advance squad charged towards their target, explosions and flames erupted in succession in several urban areas centered on the squad.

"communication."

Bai Tie: "Team 1 engages the enemy."

Luo Luo: "Team 2 engages the enemy."

Coron: "Team 3 is engaging the enemy."

"..."

Messages came one after another from the headset, along with roars and smoke that could be heard and seen from afar without the headset.

Alede gritted her teeth and looked at the route shown on the screen.

"900 meters!"

As the core team of the entire plan, there are no weak players in the King of Advancement team, and everyone moves very quickly once they charge.

If there were no obstacles, a distance of one kilometer would probably be just a blink of an eye for many people in the team.

but,

In the heart of the city occupied by the Sarkaz, there is no obstacle—

"careful!"

Among the Sarkaz warriors, a Sarkaz with white horns stood out and appeared in front of the team.

Aledae instantly recognized that he was the dangerous person clearly marked in the intelligence, the leader of the Pardoners.

The dim sunlight obscured by dark clouds seemed to become dazzling in an instant, but to the surprise of the team, another sun seemed to rise behind them.

"Keng——!"

Another figure with the same black robe and white horns appeared in front of the Pardoner.

Shining stared intently at the familiar figure in front of him, whose smile was even more radiant, and spoke:

"Everyone, keep going."

"Keng!"

Another sound of metal clashing was heard, and Lin Guang silently blocked a big-chested acquaintance, Salus.

The King of Advance did not pause or look back.

"700 meters!"

An old man appeared in front and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"If you can't even get past me, there's no point in continuing to run forward."

"Lich Lord, Fremont."

The graceful banshee, who looked like she didn't appear on the battlefield, appeared at the side of the team and stared at the old man in front of her. "I didn't think you were our enemy."

"Since we're here, we can't possibly watch everything. Besides, I already said that if we're stopped here, we don't have to go back."

logos took out his bone pen.

"Then let me open the door to your level for them."

"Heh, you're only a little kid, holding that pen and you really think you're the Banshee Lord?"

The old man seemed even more unhappy.

Logos' expression was calm: "You have to try it to know."
