Chapter 57: The Faith of Guardianship

"Finally, it came. Seeing Estelle and the others rushing in from the hallway, Richard smiled pleasantly: "I almost thought you wouldn't come. ”

"Colonel Richard. Estelle said solemnly, "We have been commissioned by Her Majesty Alicia to stop your actions. ”

"Looks like the seal hasn't been lifted yet. Reilly looked around and said, "If you take the gospel down, your plan will fail." ”

"Hehe, that's not going to work. ”

"What do you want to do?" Istelle asked aloud, "What the hell is the Ring of Radiance? Why did you get that thing?!"

"Of course, to dominate the earth, the sea, and the sky with the power of the Seven Supreme Treasures. Richard smiled and said, "The Ring of Radiance is the Void Treasure among the Seven Treasures. You should be able to understand the significance of this thing to the country, right?"

"Yes, for the country......" Estelle somewhat understood Richard's thoughts.

"This is a strategic weapon. Reilly said with a serious face.

"Yes, think about it...... Compared to the surrounding countries, Liber's national power has always been at a disadvantage. The population is about one-fifth the size of Calvard, and the number of troops is less than one-eighth of that of Erebonia. The only thing we have the advantage is the guiding force technology, but who knows how long this leading position can be maintained?" Richard said firmly: "In order to prevent the motherland from being invaded, we must have strategic forces!"

"So you're going to have to get this ancient artifact?!" Estelle asked, "So, in the war ten years ago, what did we rely on to defeat the Imperial Army?!"

"Without Mr. Reilly's help, Wang Cheng might have fallen under Lieutenant General Sykes's surprise attack. After that, we won under Colonel Cassius. Richard said in disappointment, "However, Mr. Reilly is not from Liber, and Colonel Cassius has retired. ”

"Why, the barrier in front of you is gone, and you are afraid of this?" Reilly said lightly, "Haven't you considered defending this country with your own hands?"

"How come?" said Richard with a smile, "At least we can't let Liber lose to others in the intelligence war...... It was with this in mind that I established the Ministry of Intelligence. At the same time, I am also committed to finding items that can give Liber strategic strength. When the country is in trouble again, we can use the miraculous power of the Seven Arcana to get through it. ”

"That...... Isn't it a miracle too?" said Estelle, blinking.

"What?" Richard froze.

"Hmm~ Let's take the guerrillas, for example. Our job is to protect what we hold dear. But it's not a one-sided thing, is it? Isn't it possible for the guarded party to help us in turn? Isn't it a powerful force for people to convey their belief in protection to each other in the process?"

"That'...... So what?" Hearing her words, Richard was also intrigued.

"Ten years ago, in the war, Dad wasn't fighting alone. Estelle continued, "It is thanks to the unity of our forces that we have been able to repel the Imperial Army. Isn't the Colonel one of those people?"

Richard silently.

The same is true for us. Estelle glanced at Joshua and said, "When we first learned about the Colonel's plan, we didn't know what to do...... and then she looked back at her companion behind her, "But, with the help of these friends, we managed to get here." Don't you think it's a miracle too?"

β€œ......”

"But I don't think it's a miracle. Estelle smiled sheepishly and said, "We're just working our own to make what's possible a reality." If one day, war unfortunately happens...... We can also unite and get through this together! Aren't our beliefs more reliable than those ancient powers of unknown origin?"

"How's that?" said Reilly with a smile, "Isn't it a feeling of 'you can give your future to these young people'?"

That's really ...... I'm only thirty-four!" Richard smiled wryly, then looked at Steele, "Girl, not everyone is as strong as you. Moreover, I have also gone through all kinds of difficulties to get to where I am today. Do you think I'm going to stop there?"

(I'll be bothered if you stop there.)

Reilly smiled and said, "Richard, have you ever thought about a question?"

"What's the problem?"

"After the seal of the Ring of Radiance is lifted, are you sure you can control it?"

"I ...... Richard's face changed: "Why didn't I ever think about it?!...... Since the ancestors of the royal family sealed the Ring of Radiance, there must be some reason to ......"

"That's where the weirdness goes. Reilly spread his hands and said, "The Richard I know is a wise man who plans and then acts." Why would he suddenly act so recklessly? ”

"Blame me?" said Istelle, dissatisfied.

"Why...... Why didn't I act without figuring out why the Ring of Light was sealed?...... Ahh

"Colonel?!" Estelle was taken aback, "Are you alright?"

"Don't come here!" Richard gasped, "I seem to have forgotten something...... You guys make me think about ......."

"Amnesia," Estelle exclaimed, "Isn't that the same as the Leader of the Air Thieves and Mayor Delmont......"

Suddenly, the gospel placed behind Richard emitted a black glow. Then, the entire sealing area began to tremble violently, and the force guides all stopped functioning.

"Thisβ€”this is ...... Conduction stoppage?" Estelle said in disbelief.

(Good, the first barrier has been broken)

Reilly glanced around expressionlessly, but his heart was overjoyed.

"Warning! Warning!" a strange voice came from the device behind Richard.

"Huh?!"

"This device is talking......"

Estelle and the others all showed puzzled expressions.

"The first barrier of the Ring of Radiance seal structure has been confirmed to be ineffective. It is presumed that the Gospel was used in the deepest part of the sealing area...... Confirmation of the start-up of the electronic drive tower......"

After this sound fell, the four pillars in the hall sank into the ground. Reilly's heart moved, and he remembered the Tower of Four Wheels scattered throughout Liberal's territory.

(Red, Yellow, Cyan, Green...... If you look closely, aren't these four pillars very similar to the Tower of Four Wheels...... Understood, it turns out that the second enchantment is ...... οΌ‰

"When the first barrier fails, a small amount of interference is emitted from within the ring...... Confirmation that the Ring Guardian's seal has been lifted. All personnel involved, please evacuate the sealed area as quickly as possible......"

The next moment, the wall on the right side of the hall slowly opened, and a giant robot ten meters tall walked out.
