Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

"As for the changes in the past, from my personal point of view, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad; after all, it is still unclear whether the kingdom controlled by Drak can tolerate a film like me, and at least [Victoria] can allow it. our existence."

Because he was saying these rebellious words that might offend the Red Dragon Lord, Alex was carefully observing the Red Dragon's reaction while speaking, until he confirmed that he was fine...or that it seemed like nothing. After feeling an attack, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately waved his hands and said: "As for Tracys... Although I should call him the Lord Councilor, as you said, including my father and I, Most people in the country find it difficult to understand why the Eight Dukes would sit back and watch the Sakaz settle in Londinium, and even manipulate Victoria's parliament."

"The Parliament and the Dukes don't think that an extreme Sakaz who follows tradition is a suitable partner to consider, right?"

"Or... most of the Dukes and members of the Council prefer usurpers like Tracys.

——But we (we) are different. We (we) are considering whether 'Thearesia' is better. "

Alex said looking at Ozwald.

This is a somewhat incomprehensible saying that only takes its literal meaning.

But Ozwald knew what Alex was alluding to;

The red dragon knew what this cat and the guys behind him wanted, because they couldn't be more straightforward.

So, he gave his answer.

"Before being known to the world as the magnanimous, kind, beautiful and benevolent leader of Babel, 'Theresia' was first a demon king who wore a black crown and could kill all living beings and disobedient people. When time unfolded, it led to failure. After the reasons, 'she' may not be willing to make that stupid concession anymore. You'd better consider this clearly."

"...Perhaps. But before that, the main problem now is that if 'Theresia' has even a little certainty of victory, it will make it like what happened many times, going back and forth many times, always... It will make many people who were once enthusiastic give up." Alex said: "But no matter what, I sincerely invite you to visit Cambridge if you have time in the future."

“We may not be able to come up with something that will bring back the glory of the great past, but we can certainly come up with something that will interest you.”

"I can't guarantee whether it will ultimately represent the interests of the Red Dragon on behalf of Kangqiao, but in my humble opinion, the arrival of Lord Ozwald will still bring some benefits."

"For me and you, both."

"After all, now that the new Nationalist Army of the old Red Dragon Court has gradually fallen out of sight of the inner circle of Victoria's politics, and has even been outshone by organizations formed by some juniors, if you want to regain your prestige, you should be there. Domestic needs a more suitable starting point.

No matter how shocking things are abroad, they cannot be completely equated with the domestic situation. "

"I'll think about it...with a little expectation. Mr. Alex."

After finishing speaking, Ozwald returned to a state of silence, maintaining a small but high-speed eating motion.After completing the original goal of Casimir's trip, the Earl's son wisely did not choose to do anything superfluous, and finally settled the atmosphere at a stage where both parties were slightly satisfied.

Just like that, in silence at a speed that was not slow but could only be said to be fast, at about one o'clock, they almost ended the meal.

Alex, who added his own portion in the middle, wiped his mouth after swallowing all the food, and then nodded and said: "Thank you for taking the time to have this lunch with me. It is really an honor for me."

"Yeah. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. There are still a lot of things to do."

After seeing that Feilin also finished eating, the red dragon stood up and made a casual farewell ceremony to the former.

Why did Alex get up and return the greeting: "Okay, Your Excellency, I don't dare to disturb you any more. I'm flattered to be able to take up your time."

Since he was not very familiar with the other party, Ozwald did not say goodbye too much. He just tore out a page from the notepad he carried with him in his coat for emergencies and wrote down his contact code. He will use this to make contact on the day he goes to Cambridge.

However, the moment Red Dragon's right foot stepped out of the store, Feilin's slightly hesitant voice came from behind him again.

"I can't say much about this, regarding the existence of the Iron Duke, but I would like to suggest to you, His Highness Ozwald - if possible, there may be something there in the Tara area, one of the birthplaces of dragons. There is a group of Drake's admirers worth seeing,"

"……understood."

Knights of the Round Table, fight to the death!Knights Major: 57 When the Clouds Surge

*1097年11月29日；13:48分

southwest of Casimir border

Beyond the rolling mountain lines stands a brand new city.

It set sail from Colombia and came here via Victoria.The huge body has not experienced the baptism of wind, frost and time, and exudes an untrustworthy green smell.

But this is enough for many people to gather here, giving this city waiting to be built a different kind of vitality.

The group that has lost everything and is called the infected by the world is looking forward to it.

………………

Generally speaking, a mobile city is composed of several mobile building blocks in the most central position. The place where the governor (lord) and management agency of the city will stay for a long time is often the place that receives the most attention. In some places, sometimes it is common for the central area to become an [inner city] that is incompatible with other parts after excessive resources are invested in construction according to the interests of managers.

But this city is an exception.

Except for some construction at the lower entrance used to enter the city's main power base to avoid being unable to find it, there are almost no traces of buildings on the 'surface' of the entire central area, making this ring area of ​​nearly thousands of square kilometers appear. It creates a strange sense of emptiness - but this is the result of a clear request from the funder at the beginning of the design.

"I know you probably don't want to do this because you don't want people to get the building distribution information, but you can't hide that kind of information, right? You really have to worry, at worst, we can slowly dig some secret passages or something later... we can't There’s not even a place for us to live, right?”

Yelena, who was crossing her arms and holding a wooden stick in her mouth, pretending to satisfy her craving for a lollipop, complained to Ozwald.

She is not the only one, there are several knights of the round table, former shield guards of the northern guerrillas, the snow monster team; the red dragon soldiers who have been strengthened by the dragon blood ritual... It can be said that except for the hero who was asked to bring the Rhode Island, In addition to Lant and the dozens of subordinates who accompanied him, most of his "own people" who had a good relationship with Ozwald received his notice and came here for the crowning ceremony.

Although until now, except for the empty air and the clear sky, no one has found anything that can be called observation.

"We can start soon, Yelena. In terms of patience, you have to learn more from Tallulah; she came an hour earlier than you who stayed in bed, but you are not in a hurry so far, so it's good. Showing everything you should have as a qualified leader is worth learning, right? After all, ah, you are my commander, if you can't even wait, how can you be on the battlefield in the future? Where are you looking for fighter planes? Right~~"

Ozwald comforted the bored Shuangxing, but the words that came out of his mouth made Shuangxing feel uncomfortable.

Rather than comforting or persuading, this red dragon seemed more like he was bored with waiting, but since he was the host and couldn't just run away, he simply looked for this opportunity to take advantage of her, who was not calm. Looking for fun...what an unimaginable beast!

Considering that his conservative old man was still staring at him, Shuangxing didn't punch him. He just rolled his eyes at the red dragon and wiped it cleanly on his face. At the same time, the long ears on the top of his head drooped back. , I won’t listen to any nonsense from that annoying guy anymore.

Fortunately, just like Ozwald said, there is really no need to wait too long this time.

Almost 10 minutes later, with the roar of engines in the air and the mechanical sound of tracks crushing the ground, the extra-standard land cruiser named USS Rhodes appeared in people's sight. .

Needless to say, Geraint, who was selected as the "Guardian of the Ring", and his men came over on a ship.

And when the Rhode Island was parked at the designated location in accordance with the Red Dragon's request, the gray-haired Vaifan who came down from the top immediately saluted his master with his chest on his chest.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty."

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, Sir Geraint; you shouldn't have encountered any trouble along the way, right?"

"In general, there were not many disturbances." Geraint reported truthfully, summarizing the encounter: "Because you said that this agreement had already been reached, when I took His Majesty's warrant to find him in Siesta When Rhode Island (Company) was asked by its lord to investigate the volcano problem, Miss Amiya, the public leader, was a little reluctant but did not refuse - especially when Ms. Kelsey took the initiative to take over the leadership of the negotiations. What I have signed is an ordinary exchange of interests; in addition to the foundation of the forward city that will replace the Rhode Island as the company's new settlement, it also includes the economic compensation needed for reconstruction... According to your Majesty's request, I am here. I tried to give them as much preferential treatment as possible.”

Ozwald smiled and nodded: "Amiya has always been a good and obedient child. I am reassured about this. Kelsey, on the other hand, knows very well that the sovereignty of trade exchange is actually entirely mine. If I do not allow Rhodes The ark ship Isla can’t even move half a wheel. So it’s useless even if she doesn’t agree when I need it.”

Of course, after all, Rhode Island (Medical Company) is not composed of a highly unified force like the Knights of the Round Table and closer to the Red Dragon Nationalist Army - on the basis of the remnants of the former Queen Kazdare as the backbone, there will be subsequent Various groups from various countries have joined; among them there are of course "new blood" like Rosemary who recognize Amiya's existence and obey her command, and there are also branches from other companies established here based on cooperation treaties, and There are quite a few of the latter.

These people may be attracted by the happy and loving company atmosphere of Rhode Island and regard this place as an important place for them from the bottom of their hearts, but that also means that they have no intention of loyalty to Amiya and are only employed to work. They may not be able to fully accept some of Amiya and Kelsey's decisions.

After all, how could you, a young lady like Jessica from Black Steel International, be happy just because your temporary residence is a little bigger?She must have liked the little nest she had lived in for several years more.

"Some people in Rhode Island (Company) are quite critical of Your Majesty's insistence on trading the Rhode Island. [Although I understand that this is a better choice, compared to the wider and larger venue in the future, this ship is still the best choice. Boats make them feel more at home] - This type of voice is often heard among young people or even younger people."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the son of the great banshee of the former Queen's faction doesn't defect to his murderer and enemy, this trivial matter can be left to them. Anyway, if nothing happens, we won't do anything about it in recent years. There is no need to have any form of communication with a so-called medical company.”

"And compared to this, I am more concerned about Victoria's side... Sir Geraint, you passed through Victoria's territory on the way back from Siesta. I guess with your personality, you should have collected some information during the process, right? "

Considering that a few days ago, the son of the earl from Cambridge came to him on his own initiative - although the conversation did not achieve anything substantial in the end, the mere occurrence of this incident already meant that Victoria Ripples appeared in the originally calm water. The only thing that could not be determined was whether they were large or small, and whether they were turbulent or not.

But no matter what, this was enough to make Ozwald obsessed with it.

"I did do that, Your Majesty..."

Geraint hesitated for a moment, and a few traces of sadness flashed across his originally calm face because of the information he had collected about Victoria along the way; he was uncontrollably worried about the recent worsening situation in his hometown where he was born and raised. .

But as a knight who had sworn to dedicate everything to the red dragon, Vaifan did not let his personal thoughts interfere with the subsequent report; he spoke in the most objective and straightforward words possible:

"...Grand Duke Godotin is heading to Londinium with his army."

Godard is one of the eight most famous dukes in Victoria.In its territory, Gododon, there are many factories that produce military products for the Victorian army.

What is worth mentioning is that this coastal city also has the family estate of a noble named [White Wolf].

So Ozwald doesn't like this city very much, at least not until the big cat's supporters are completely wiped out.

It’s just that things always have to be prioritized.

"How large an army did he (Gao Duotin) send out?" Red Dragon asked.

"The wasteland refugees saw at least two high-speed battleships, but there is no guarantee that there will be the possibility of sending additional troops in the future."

Immediately afterwards, Geraint told even worse news.

"In addition, the natural disaster messenger told me that they saw the artillery of the siege regiment also leaving the station - in fact, the eight grand dukes have more or less recently led or mobilized troops to Londinium. .”

Victoria had clear laws that stipulated that the eight Grand Dukes would never be allowed to enter the capital, Londinium, unless they were summoned by law under special circumstances or by the emperor. Those who violated this law would be punished if they could not clear their suspicions as soon as possible. He was regarded as having evil intentions and was punished.

Of course, normally the grand dukes would not do such foolish things just because they have nothing to do.After all, even if you really want to seize the crown, the large-scale mobilization of troops required for this will be impossible to hide from the eyes of the royal court. Compared with entering Londinium and ascending to the great treasure, I am afraid that other grand dukes will attack The troops had already arrived at the door to kill the generals.

But now this "normal" is broken.

The eight grand dukes, who originally had their own selfish motives, belonged to different factions, were independent of each other and even hostile to each other, mobilized their troops in a tacit understanding and marched towards the capital Londinium with a scale of operations that could not be concealed.

It is unimaginable that eight grand dukes would carry out such a 'rebellious' act together that most Victorians would find difficult to agree with - unless this is not a rebellion at all!

In other words, it was the [justice] reason that allowed the eight dukes to use this as a excuse to do such an act openly and justly if they were really disloyal.

"Perhaps it's because of what Tracys did; he is now the Speaker and Regent of the Victoria Parliament, isn't he?" Tallulah guessed.

"...This is not a wise move. The alliance of the eight Grand Dukes represents the unification of Victoria's nearly total power. Even with the resources of Londinium, it is difficult to resist... As the hero of Kazdaele, Tresis has long ago He is familiar with Victoria's strength, not to mention that after annexing Gaul, Victoria is now far more powerful than before, so he shouldn't have thought of this." Bodrokas answered angrily.

Although his race allows him to still retain respect for the Demon King's eldest brother, at the same time, the old Wendigo also knows his current camp and position, so he has not done too much for the "destined enemy" who occupies his monarch's capital. The rebuttal was just a little objective analysis in the direction of agreeing with Long Nu's speculation.

"Even if he himself doesn't think he can defeat the eight dukes joining forces, it doesn't mean others will think so. My brother Lan Malok."

Regarding Bodro Kasti's point of view, Metatron, who is not Sakaz but is also very familiar with this race because he has been dealing with this race for many years, gave another point of view.

"Don't forget that Traces is the chairman of your Sakaz Military Council, and he also has the stinky fish and shrimps headed by the Blood Demon and the Scavenger. You must know that when Theresia wanted to ask for peaceful development They tried their best to refute that even the demon king who Sakaz should obey could directly launch a rebellion because he did not agree with their wishes, and of course he could do it this time; not to mention that Kazdel had a very bad relationship with Victoria."

Having said this, Metatron looked at Ozwald: "How can you say that? Oh yes - I will defeat the world by myself!! Well, a man who truly follows [tradition] ] Sakaz would think so."

Frankly speaking, Sakota's speech sounded a bit outrageous to Froststar, who was not very literate and did not know much about Terra's history and major events. It felt like it was mixed with some personal prejudice and slander.

But the key point is that even if it is so unpleasant, Bozhuo Kasti, as Sakaz, has to hold his non-existent nose and say something like "I think 8 is very pertinent, but it does make sense."

It is precisely because he is a member of his own family that he knows his own affairs best, otherwise the old Wendigo would not have been so disappointed in his own race even after Thearesia became the Demon King, and led the Wendigo tribe who were also tired of fighting. Together with some like-minded Sarkarz, they migrated northeast across mountains and rivers to Ursus.

"Let's talk about it. Let's not mention what Tracys and the others think, but buddy, I do have some ideas and can blow up the world on my own." Ozwald scratched his head, shyly. He muttered: "I think my plan should be more feasible than theirs...probably."

"That's bad, our boss is also a Sarkaz, and he's even more pure." Metatron frowned, gritted his teeth and took a breath:

"Damn it, I've become an accomplice in destroying the world."

"Poke it, people have been in the cesspit for a long time, how can they not want to break something?"

Red Dragon pretended to be angry.

However, after all, the source of what happened in Victoria this time is Tracy himself or he can be blamed. Everyone has given their approval to the speculation in this direction.

As a result, the problems we are facing now can be said to be quite serious.

"Even considering that the eight Grand Dukes are against the odds, no one dares to risk the possibility of launching an attack on the capital and reaching a stalemate. But in the worst case scenario, we may have to face more than just Tracy and Londinium, and several grand dukes. Have you figured out what to do? Ozwald."

"Of course, the Knights of the Round Table will never give in to any difficulties!"

The red dragon smiled proudly and confidently

“It’s time for you to see the true appearance of this glorious and ideal city!”

Knights of the Round Table, fight to the death!Knights Major: 58 Tower of Babel

【I will show you the true appearance of this city】

In front of his followers, the red dragon said these words and pulled out the dragon scales made of blood and flesh from his chest.

Stepping, bending his knees, leaning up... The huge two-handed sword was shot out from Ozwald's hands like a spear at this moment, tearing up the air with a roar, flying towards the distant sky, tearing apart the dark clouds, like a burning meteor. , falling along the trajectory of fate.

The steel shell of the Rhode Island, which had been forged by the Kazdare people with countless painstaking efforts and consumables, was torn apart easily, allowing the fiery red "key" to fall without any bias into the body of the ship, the ancient ark keel. Below is a sarcophagus-like device.

[Instructions from the person with the highest authority have been received and the verification has started]

[Energy facility 'Coffin', confirmation link]

[Keel base 'Rhodes Island', confirmed to be in good condition]

[The 'bricks' of Babel's foundation have been prepared and have entered the 'coffin'. The energy absorption rate has steadily increased and the first multiplication has begun——]

[Final countdown, 3, 2, 1...'Ark, enter the startup phase]

"Even if the body dies, we mortals (HUMAN) will set foot in the divine realm here and show you, the weaklings, the principles of conquering the world!"

Inside the ship, the main control program display that had been turned off suddenly lit up again. Inside the keel, which people could not see through, a large amount of materialized data flowed in the 'marrow' of the giant beast's bones;

At the same time, from the sarcophagus pierced by the scale sword, a little silver-white mist floated out as if it was overflowing, and attached to the sword body that shimmered like a heartbeat. Then, the implanted mist was driven by sufficient energy. Spreading further outwards, and began to multiply at a speed visible to the naked eye - first the mist expanded and adhered, and then, the touched metal that originally belonged to the land speeder began to disappear and be replaced, and the silver-white fluid began to appear in the air. The fog gathered and solidified to replace the original structure, so that there were no major problems with the overall structure.

As everyone outside watched in amazement, Rhode Island was completely dyed by the mist that spewed out from the cracks, passages, windows and portals of the ship. Moreover, the proliferation of these silver-white mist and fluids continued at a rapid rate. faster and faster!

They moved around, using the 'mist' as a guide, and began to spread and assimilate into the mobile city where the land speeder was parked... As if they were tasting the city, they smashed the fluid against the structure and engulfed it. , and with the passage of time, the fluid that became more and more massive began to faintly show a little light, which was hidden in its gathering and dissipation.

As if it never stops and never satisfies, the base that once belonged to the mobile city has been dyed and replaced in its entirety.
