Chapter 19: The Last Stand
Stewart's eyes were full of pathos. He didn't have time to mourn for the galaxy.
It is no longer practical to try to control the guardian array.
The powerful Homeland Guardian Array, the Dragon King who can be served, and the hole cards of the French Power Kingdom are dissolved one by one by the Okadian side.
Right now...... Only one of the last cards remained in Elrios' hand.
That is the last resort that could bring both sides to the end of the day. Stewart didn't know what would happen when he turned it on.
"I'm sorry."
When everyone's attention was focused on the soul of the galaxy, Stewart made a very decisive choice.
He increased his speed to the limit and flew towards the center of the pure white city.
Elrios' last weapon is hidden in the underground of the pure white city.
……
Lichenda and Ionia were far from the center of the battlefield.
Without relying on perception spells, it's hard to see them.
……
The wings of the "obsidian falcon" transformed by Nicholas roared.
"Ragnar, Vladimir, Sham!" He unceremoniously shouted the names of the three prison masters, "Go after Stewart!" He must be plotting something. ”
"Speaker...... "Vladimir? A hint of hesitation flashed across Kim's "plump" face.
"I'm enough to deal with Dietford and Friedrich alone," Nicholas said indifferently, "you three go get Stewart." Can't let him run! ”
"Yes." Mr. Jin replied.
"You're not qualified to command me, Nicholas." The prison master snorted coldly.
The Lord of the Clouds nodded, but did not speak.
The trio flew past the obsidian falcon and chased after Stewart.
……
"Fred, what are you doing?" The "Golden Rider" was preoccupied with the "Obsidian Falcon", and was very dissatisfied with the prime minister behind him, who had been indifferent from the beginning.
Stewart is the last legendary mage of the French power on the battlefield. It is not surprising that this cunning politician chose to use allies as shields. But why did the loyal Chancellor Friedrich ......?
Your Majesty," Friedrich's calm voice said, "We are facing a difficult situation in this battle. Lucky...... Nicholas did all the tricks, but still made a mistake. 】
[Do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy? 】
[Not really. I ......] The prime minister hesitated for a moment, and used a relatively simple statement, [I found a way to break the "space blockade". It may only be for a moment, but it's more than enough to send us out. 】
[Is it true?] Dietford III thought of his empress.
"I still need a little time," the Prime Minister said calmly, "I can't let Nicholas find out." 】
……
In the rain, the flow of people is pouring out of the White City.
In the crowd, there was a figure with a brown hood.
He's none other than Dimi.
"Father." He looked up at the huge "Golden Rider", and his heart was worried.
Nicholas came prepared. The Lord of the Galaxy has failed, and the Father ...... Can you still resist it?
He really wanted to use the "Buddha-figure Arrival" himself and rush forward, but he understood that even if he was only a junior in the blue ocean, even if he used the "Buddha-figure Arrival", he would not be able to help his father.
"The Queen Mother."
Lichenda's figure was not visible at all. She doesn't seem to have used her "Buddha-figure presence" yet.
Victoria didn't know where to go. She had behaved strangely before. Did she find something? Maybe she's in danger too.
Dimi could only endure the anxiety in his heart, and follow the crowd as far away from the collapsed city as possible.
--------------
Ionia fled all the way, and Licenda clung to it, and in just a few minutes, Licenda forced Ionia to the edge of the sea of clouds.
Below is the grand view of the "Sword River Entering the Sea".
The first beautiful view of the pure white city, the observation deck that used to be full of people is empty at the moment.
The shadow that Ionia had turned into suddenly stopped moving.
"Licenta," Ionia reverted to the form of an old goatee, "you're more powerful than I thought. Losing you is the biggest loss of the 'Hand of the Sea of Clouds'. ”
"Ready to be cut? Old man. Lichenda sneered. Just now, Ionia used at least three different Blue Sea Advanced Spells to stop her, and she easily defused them.
The only thing to guard against now is a legendary spell unknown to Ionia. He's not going to be poor in donkey skills, is he?
"You're still as energetic as ever, Lichenda." Ionia smiled.
Behind him, the boundless sea of clouds was rushing as always. For 2,000 years, the continent has been suspended above the sea of clouds, which replaces the magic nets of the past and provides mystical power to spellcasters.
But once the casters leave the continent and go deep into the sea of clouds...... Their ability to cast spells is lost. After all these years, there has been no news that the spellcaster has been able to successfully explore the world beneath the sea of clouds.
"Old age never dies." Lichenda muttered. When he was still in the organization, Ionia was like this, how old was he?
Ionia is the most mysterious of the legendary spellcasters of the Cloud Continent. Occasionally, mid-level members of the Order will be given the opportunity to meet him, but even if multiple people meet together, Ionia will be remembered differently. In the eyes of the core members, Ionia retains the image of the "old man with a goatee" most of the time.
Maybe even this image is a disguise. Perhaps Ionia is just a "code name" passed down from generation to generation by the leader of the Hand of the Sea of Clouds, who disguises himself with some kind of inheritance secret method.
"There's no way back for you." Lichenda said. She had already made up her mind that if she couldn't get Ionia in a minute, she would directly use her "Buddha-figure Arrival".
The city of pure white beneath its feet...... Maybe half of them will never live again. But whatever. Now that everyone is gone, it's no problem.
……
Archon Stewart scurried into his city with lightning speed.
"What is he doing?" Mr. Kim was stunned.
"Whatever." The prison master stared indifferently at Stewart's frantically fleeing figure.
The Lord of Cloud Wing only frowned slightly.
Stewart swept past the exclamating crowd. He's gambling. The Warlord and Nicholas are only allies, and he will be inclined to retain his strength rather than pour his trump card on himself; Mr. Jin is a lord who is kind to the people, and as long as he rushes into the crowd of fleeing people, he will not attack with all his strength at the first time.
The only thing to worry about is Sham, the Lord of the Clouds. Traitors tend to be very positive in order to show their loyalty. But now it seems that maybe he is ashamed, or maybe it is because of the consumption of the sneak attack on the galaxy just now, Yun Yong, like the other two, has no intention of using legendary spells, but from time to time throws at himself the sonic attacks that he is good at.
You don't have to...... Then it's up to me to do it! Stewart thought to himself.
"If you don't want to die, lie on your stomach!" He shouted at the crowd.
Hopefully no one would be foolish enough to stay in the house after being ordered to evacuate, Stewart prayed in his heart.
The light of the scroll in his hand flashed.
……
"This is ......" Mr. King looked at the sides of the street where Stewart was, the ground suddenly bulged, and then continued to rise with the house, attacking the three people in the air.
And then, it's not just those two rows of houses. With Stewart as the center, the ground of the small white city turned over, curled up, and rose like a flooded mudslide, and one building after another smashed like toys at the three people on Okad's side.
Mr. Jin and the Lord of Yunyong hurriedly avoided it. With a wave of his hand, the warden smashed a tower that slammed into him.
"Is he crazy?" Mr. Kim yelled. He couldn't believe that the streets were "flipped" and the people would be killed and injured. How did Stewart ...... his own people?
"Huh?"
Things on the street were indeed thrown out. However, the people on the street were not "off the cliff" because of this.
An invisible stance clinging to the ground protects them. People fall to the ground like feathers. It's just that this protection is only a thin layer on the land: many people who have not had time to completely lie down are "top-heavy", their feet are still slowly falling, but their heads are planted straight down. Several people hit their heads.
"Simple slow down stance," the Lord of the Clouds muttered to himself, "and can still use ...... like this"
The Elrios mages often used arcane magic to build water conservancy. And once the legendary mage makes a move, one person is a dam that diverts the river.
It can be used as a spell for both combat and engineering. The French Powers have amassed a large number of these legendary scrolls over the years.
And with one hand to unleash the legendary spell scroll, and the other hand to use a large area to protect the people, Stewart's skills are undoubtedly worth marveling.
"He's abandoned the city," said the prison master, who didn't expect it to be Errios' own spells that destroyed the buildings of the White City, "and he would repel us even if he destroyed the entire city." Unfortunately, this awakening came too late. ”
The prison master was dismissive on the surface, but on the inside, he was extremely vigilant. Let Stewart, who has always been keen on fame, do this at any cost...... Is Elrios' final hole card really that powerful?
