At the same time, almost on the other side of the globe, it was a sunny morning on the continent of Obarro.

The knights of Kaslana, who belong to the Seventh Knights of the Manifest Destiny, are gathering in this once almost untouched town.

They rallied for two reasons, one was to investigate the reason for the appearance of the nearly 10,000 Deadpools that had once appeared here.

This is a very terrifying thing, this is the rear of the Honkai front, and the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of Deadpools is enough to destroy any small country that is not blessed by enough Destiny combat power, and at least more than 100,000 humans will die under their claws. Normally, the conflict between the principalities or local nobles and knights is the scale of a thousand people, and once the Deadpool of this number hits them head-on, no one can withstand it.

And the other reason is for the two people in front of Francis.

One is the vice-captain of the First Brigade of the First Knights of the Mandate of Heaven, and the other is a scholar of the Mandate of Heaven Church Research Institute.

Francis looked at Otto and Karenne with a gloomy face, he sat straight and straight, his fingers seemed to unconsciously grasp the armrest of the chair, but there was already a layer of wood chips under the wooden chair that he had scratched.

Karene and Otto bowed their heads in silence, not daring to look at him.

Karen felt that she was in trouble, and Otto felt weak.

Francis still had a few pale black-brown stains of blood on his hair, which he had never had time to deal with. The sudden appearance of the basket here caught him off guard.

Finally, Francis was the first to break the silence: "Karen, you obediently go back to the First Knight's residence with your captain, Otto, I will leave you to your father, I am sure he will give me a satisfactory answer." ”

After saying that, he didn't want to stay a little longer, and he stood up and wanted to leave. He didn't ask why the two of them left without permission.

"Daddy!" After all, Karin couldn't hold back, "Why... Why don't you ask me anything? ”

"Two children want to elope in a drama story? Do I have anything to ask? Francis replied pointedly, but did not stop at all, and was almost to the door.

"You know we didn't leave for this boring reason!" Karene grabbed Francis's hand.

"What's that for?" Francis stopped, looking at Kalian, but paying attention to Otto's every move.

"Daddy, you... You don't do anything at all! Karene gritted her teeth and said, "I can't fix it!" It's gone! My brother is gone, you're a father, why don't you care about him at all? ”

"Did I care about him?" Francis asked rhetorically.

Karen was speechless. But then came a burning rage.

"I can't believe it's what you said..."Karen let go of her hand, her face full of disbelief and took a few steps back, "That's also Mommy's child... That's your son, too, why are you doing this..."

"There is no need to say any more about this." Francis waved away.

Karian slumped in her chair, her face glazed and weak.

She couldn't believe that Francis would say such a thing, even now.

"Karen... Your father doesn't seem to like a big deal," Otto recalled.

"No, it shouldn't be like this," Karin said to herself.

"It seems... Lord Francis's love has only given you a person, Xiu there... At least I don't see half of it now. He didn't know why, but suddenly he understood why he was the only one who could come with the cultivators.

Because both of them are going through the same thing.

"Otto, now... What are we going to do, how are we going to get out and go on..."

"I can't leave..."Otto shook his head, "Not to mention the inexplicable Honkai anomaly outside, we can't get out of the First Knights, the most powerful Knights of Heaven, just here." You are a member of this order, and you should know better than I am how powerful they are. ”

"Are we just going to sit here and wait?" Karen muttered to herself weakly.

"I have a caravan out there... At least the leader of the caravan has a contract with me, and I'll entrust them to help me find out... In fact, we were able to go so far this time, and that caravan had already helped a lot. If it weren't for the inexplicable encounter with this wave of collapse..."Otto slammed the table hard, causing him to grit his teeth secretly, "I guess the messenger from the Vatican will come soon to take me back... If I am caught back this time, I don't know when I will be able to see you again. ”

Karene thought for a moment, and said with some concern, "The Archbishop Church will not punish you in any way..."

"I guess there will be, but what can he do to me, at most, is to be grounded. But most of my brothers won't miss the opportunity to laugh at me. Just keep out of the way of them, and I won't bother anything... Fix over there... I can only pray to the gods for protection. I'm sorry, Karen. I've let you down after all..."

"Nope." Karen shook her head, "Yes, I want to thank you. You've helped me so much that I don't even know how to thank you enough..."

Otto was silent, turning to look out the window.

But the corners of his mouth were irrepressibly raised, raised. But suddenly I thought of repairing out nowhere... The feeling of depression came back to my heart.

The scout team that followed behind Francis finished reporting, but was not instructed on what to do. He waited patiently for a while, but suddenly realized... His commander seemed to be in a daze.

"Sir Francis?" He shouted tentatively.

Francis's fingers twitched slightly.

"Okay, I know, you guys take a break first, and notify the next shift to take over from you."

"Yes, sir." The squad leader left, leaving Francis to continue his contemplation.

He walked into the cabin where he was temporarily lodging, and sat on a chair in the room, leaning sideways, with his right fist on his lips, and sat like that. Time passed, from daytime, to dusk, to night, and Francis sat like this, never leaving, not even eating.

In the middle of the night, a tall Valkyrie dressed in silver-white riding armor quietly entered the room. She was the captain of the First Brigade of the First Knights, and when she came to Francis, handed him a letter, she did not say anything, but stood quietly aside.

After receiving the letter and trying to open the seal, Francis realized that he had not lit a candle.

Tear open the envelope and remove the letter.

The handwriting of the letter was a little sloppy, as if it had been written in a hurry. The general content was as follows: the Spanish fleet lent four long-distance warships, as well as an admiral, some unknown figure.

Francis sighed.

"The messenger said that there is a word for me to convey to you after you have read the letter." The woman said suddenly.

"Say it."

"The messenger said: His Highness Castille has done his best, but the pressure from the Ottomans is too great to send more warships."

In fact, the messenger did not have to say these words, Francis knew them all. The specific support he received was one less than he expected, but the dispatch of the admiral was a surprise to him.

In this respect, His Majesty the King is already very generous... But these ships are really far from enough to meet the demand. But he knows that Spain really can't lend much in the current situation...

"Help me write back thanks... No, I wrote it personally. Francis prepares pen and paper.

"Sir... Is it necessary to be so hidden? The Valkyrie raised her own questions.

"Don't ask me that question next time." Francis did not lift his head, but wrote by candlelight.

There was a hint of unbearability in Valkyrie's eyes.

She whispered, "That Gerald is easy now." We helped so much, but we could only make him think he did it himself. Just him, can he please the royal family... Now he must be thinking again: Look Francis, I can do it without you! ”

"Don't say that, Lynn. I'm kind of helping myself...", he put away his pen and stuffed the letter into the envelope, "I took his sister... He took my son. Isn't that fair. ”

He said seemingly calmly. But Lynne knew that he definitely wasn't what he looked.
