However, it was impossible for the driver in the steel coffin to escape at this time, the front window had been blocked by a sharp sword, and the rear escape route had been dismantled due to renovation. At this point, he could only pray that the Unified Knight would be able to stab the knight, or that he would dodge the moment the sword pierced.

Just as One's straight sword was about to pierce the gap in Five's chest, One's engine was finally overwhelmed, completely damaged in overload, and the driver fell into a coma.

Due to the loss of power source and control, the Unified Knight armor was shut down. Inertia caused the straight sword to pierce Five's chest, where the cab was, but in the end, it failed to completely pierce the baffle under the gap.

The Celestial Punisher's pilot watched as the sword representing death slowly pierced into the baffle and eventually stuck above his head. He could feel the breath of death, and he almost fainted from the ups and downs, but he still felt like a person who had been rescued from drowning, sweating profusely, breathing rapidly, and almost fainting from the rapid flow of blood.

Naturally, the Fifth Heavenly Punisher also ceased to function. Not only because the driver is no longer able to continue driving, but also because the fuel has run out.

And its hood has been burned iron red. If the start is forcibly continued, there is a high probability of an explosion.

The immature technology of the internal combustion engine seems to show its shortcomings. At least in terms of the cooling system, there is much to be done.

The two still stand here like ancient and sacred sculptures. Under the sun, it looks like an epic oil painting. After a brief shock, the paramedics from both sides rushed to the dueling arena on the orders of their respective high-level officials to resuscitate their respective drivers.

"It's a pity, if it weren't for the small size of the unified knight's armor, which caused the red mercury to be insufficient, your little baby would have to serve the spirit master." Dr. Hager turned to Lawrence, who was at the Fighting Agency.

"That's enough, Heigl. You and I both know what it all is all about. Now that you know the truth, don't talk crazy. Lawrence shot back.

"Cut, it's boring. Why can't you admit your defeat? Dr. Heigl waved his hand and left the stands.

"That's because I lost in politics!" Lawrence yelled at Dr. Hegel's back.

Dr. Heigl paused and turned his head.

"The Southern Loya Empire's weapon platform can replace your ranged Heavenly Punisher, and the Unified Knight can replace your melee type. You tell me, how can you win? The Council just wants to use you to fight the Institute and make it a lackey for them. When it comes to politics, you should have a slight edge. Dr. Heiger said.

“。。。 No, no! The Heavenly Punisher must be the future of this era! Definitely! It can't be not! Lawrence's eyes were red and he shouted hysterically. Anyone who has worked hard for several years on a goal that is defined as going off the rails will behave like this. Not to mention Lawrence.

Fortunately, due to the end of the battle, everyone was still concentrating on discussing the Unification Knight and the Heavenly Punisher, and did not notice his gaffe.

Dr. Heigl shook his head and walked away with his men.

It seems that the council's plan has been so successful that even the country's top scholars will think that humanoid mechs are the future. However, the real weapons of war were not the armor of the knightly era, but the cost-effective, wear-resistant, low-cost fuel, and the ability of ordinary people to use after a few weeks of training.

。

With the help of logisticians, a small drawbridge device was used to separate the mechs on both sides. Paramedics began to set up field hospitals to prepare for emergency treatment of drivers.

The mechanics who were waiting on the sidelines began to violently disassemble the mechs after the armor was separated. The Knight's armor was too twisted to damage the switch system in its cab. So I took a welding torch and made a hole in part of the armor.

Of course, as the skeleton frame of the mecha, they still have to be carefully disassembled. The part of the Knight's armor that really comes from the ruins is its core frame.

The skeleton remained intact under the direct blow of the Heavenly Punisher, so while the armor looked twisted, it was extremely strong due to the fact that these skeletons from the ruins were extremely strong. But because I know the importance of these things, I am still cautious and cautious when opening a hole.

Due to the protective role played by the skeleton. Kimchi's injuries were not very serious, just a few comminuted fractures. Well, it's not serious.

After emergency treatment, the paramedics lifted the driver onto a stretcher and transported him to the nearest secret hospital in a specially made steam armored transporter. The corpses on the field were disposed of by the logistics personnel present and the personnel of the military department and the Apostolic Council.

Foreign personnel were politely invited out of the place. Of course, they were not allowed to enter the arena. After the battle, some of the personnel who tried to get close to it by virtue of their connections were also unsuccessful.

This battle did a good job of accomplishing the main objective of the Apostolic Council. Ludwig was also pleased, and his plans were proceeding in an orderly manner.

I don't know what his plans are, but I'm sure there is. Otherwise, how could His Highness the Lordship come to me in person? Why spend connections and a lot of money to buy the Apostolic Council, temporarily and slightly change the rules to change the original unlimited means of combat to melee.

But now that I've won the battle, I'm no longer obsessed with these things. What should come will always come.

。

In the House of Consciousness.

Aishuur finally breathed a sigh of relief, the battle was over, Kimchi did not receive any irreversible damage, and his fracture was not too serious under the effect of the black water. It's just that her own condition is a little bad. The boy ran to help the somewhat shaky Aishuur.

"Remember, if it's not for life and death, you don't want to come back this month. Do you hear that? The boy said.

"Okay."

"By the way, if you have time, go to the South Luoya Empire, find the puppeteer, and hurry up while you still have a chance to be repaired, and let him repair it."

"The puppeteer is dead." Aishuur said with some regret.

“。。。 So did I fall asleep for a while? ”

"Nope. I have a solution, though. Use resonance to unite me with a human being. ”

“。。。 Who? You have to know that the conditions of resonance are extremely harsh, and the most important thing is that the other party needs to be willing. ”

"Clevisia."

"You said the attendants sent to him by Kimchi's mother?"

"Yes."

"You decide. It's just that I want to tell you seriously that Kimchi needs you very much, or depends on you very much. He hasn't been with his parents since he was a child, and all along, it's almost like you brought him up, you know? ”

"Resonance doesn't mean I'm going to die, it's just merging with another person."

"I said, do you understand! You stupid doll. You are special, like a model ship from childhood memories and the difference between reality. ”

“。。。” Aishuur did not speak, and fell silent.

"Forget it, I'll talk to you next time, you won't listen to it now anyway, and I have a hunch, you definitely won't listen to my warning."

。

When I woke up, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling and a sleeping butler, who was sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed. Suddenly, the pain began to worsen along my breathing, and I couldn't help but tremble a little, and my bandaged hand kept transmitting the pain to my brain like a source of pain. My shivering woke the butler who was lying on the table. I saw her rub her eyes, and her wistful gaze met mine. I'm a little embarrassed.

"Awake?"

"Hmm."

"Alright, let's eat!"

It's the butler, or the butler. She left the room and returned with her meal in a moment. Stand up on the table and put the food in front of me. Realizing that I couldn't finish eating with my hands, she picked up the spoon and started feeding me.

。

The four knights came from the orphanage and had been raised by Ludwig to be soldiers like dead soldiers, though none of them were much older than me. Because of these factors, only the usual white orchids of the military department and insignia from the Holy Seminary were carved on their tombs. Then I understood why Dr. Heigl was so casual before the assembly of nations. He never thought that anyone else who would survive but me. I don't know the details, but I can paint a rough picture. Both sides except me and the number five on the opposite side are dead soldiers, which is why it seems to be a bit of a show in the final battle. Everyone is acting, and I and No. 5 are the protagonists of this play. Our deathmatch was not only shown to foreigners, but also to the apostolic councilors. These apostles, who had never been to the battlefield, even if they were wise, would not have seen this scene. As for how I know, the psychic link has made me see the skin. Ludwig's stratagem and his minions were more powerful than I thought.

Faced with the graves of these four people, it is difficult for me to say anything. I didn't kill them, but I always felt like I was the culprit. It was an indescribable feeling, and I placed the white orchid flowers I bought in front of their graves. Is this the struggle for rights? I can't help but imagine my future. I've been drawn into this fight, although I don't yet know who and who is in this fight. But I understand that I have been swept up in it. Or maybe I don't know what I'm getting involved in. The Holy Kingdom is like a huge whirlpool, everyone associated with it is swept up in it, and who knows where they are?

I don't know if when I reach the pinnacle of power, I will indifferently regard the lives of my subordinates as gold coins to achieve victory.

I stood in front of the grave for a moment beyond words. Feel complex thoughts that I have never felt before.

The butler seemed to be fine, and urged me with some impatience. Maybe for her, no one else's life matters except me.

I put on my top hat and stepped onto the black steam locomotive that was waiting.
