Chapter 703 Guarding the Blue Gate
Chapter 703 Guarding the Blue Gate
After hearing the intelligence officer's report, everyone in the conference room looked at each other.
This is definitely good news, after all, airships have entered the realm of truth.
But the staff members all looked more serious, even more so than before.
The Sarkaz just have a low level of education, not low IQ. The biggest advantage of the airship is its astonishing flying height. There is no reason for it to cut off one of its own arms.
"Duke, there must be something fishy going on here. My suggestion is to keep your distance and wait and see what the Sarkaz do."
A member of the staff immediately made a suggestion.
But immediately another person stood up and refuted:
"This is not a battle between two armies, but a pursuit war. We cannot ignore the possibility that the Sarkaz are deliberately creating confusion. If the airship passes over the Silverstone Cliff, we will fail."
"But the current situation is that we have to face the Sarkaz Demon King and many royal courts, so we can never be too cautious."
"This is war, opportunities are fleeting, and we have to weigh the pros and cons."
The staff group split into two forces, and they began to argue with each other.
Qi Yan was listening with such a headache that he almost got dizzy. He turned around and was surprised to find that the doctor was listening with great interest.
He moved his stool next to the Doctor.
The legs of the stool made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the floor, but it did not disturb the arguing staff at all.
"Why are they quarreling among themselves before the fight even starts?" Qi Yan leaned close to the doctor's ear and asked.
"What kind of internal conflict is this? They are clearly forcing Windermere to make a decision." The doctor replied in a low voice, "This is a routine operation of the staff. They just make suggestions. It is up to the leader whether to adopt them or not."
Qi Yan was a little surprised: "What's the use of these advisory groups?"
The doctor smiled but said nothing.
knock --
Windermere clenched his fingers and tapped the table.
The quarreling staff immediately quieted down and waited anxiously for Windermere to speak.
"The entire army should be prepared for battle. The warships should be dispersed appropriately, but they must not leave the range of the main guns." Windermere said calmly.
"We can adopt a shuttle formation and focus on protecting the flanks to avoid attacks from the Sarkaz's Royal Court Lord."
"Don't fire the main guns easily to prevent the King of the Royal Court from appearing during the replenishment interval."
"I recommend……"
As Windermere spoke, the staff immediately united their front and detailed the combat arrangements around Windermere's decision.
"My suggestion is to aim the main gun at the airship. If you can fire, there's no need to hold back."
The Doctor suddenly interrupted, speaking calmly and confidently, "The warship the Duke is on does not need protection. I can guarantee that the Grand Lord of the Royal Court will voluntarily abandon this place."
Everyone, including Windermere, was stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and glanced at Qi Yan.
They all understood what the doctor meant. With Qi Yan around, those royal court princes would not come up to them and seek a fight.
Qi Yan glanced at Windermere, then at the Doctor:
"Is this how you command a battle? Using decisive battle skills to defend the blue gate? Where did the Khan come from?"
……
……
On the airship, Theresa watched the busy Sarkaz royal court soldiers running around in front of her.
The shapeshifter stood beside her, acting as a communicator.
"Manfred's expression is very interesting." The Shapeshifter explained, "The Absolver left the team and disappeared after the operation began. The Blood Demon was angry with us and refused to respond to anyone who spoke to him."
Theresa: “…”
The shapeshifter continued, "The Scavenger King is very proactive. He said that as long as you ask, he will immediately send his troops to you."
"No need." Theresa shook her head, "The dukes seem to be acting together, but in fact they each have their own plans. The only trouble we have now is Windermere and Wellington.
But Wellington is held back by an army of scavengers and is doomed to fail, so we only have Windermere to consider.
Let the airship descend a little further, the preparations for the Shard are almost done."
"Natural disasters alone cannot destroy Windermere's fleet," the shapeshifter warned.
"The opportunity has already been lost." Theresa said calmly, "When Qi Yan, this variable, appeared, the Sarkaz's plan was already in chaos. The goal of the Shard's test this time is no longer to strike at the Duke's forces. It just needs to let the whole world know that Victoria has this weapon."
The shapeshifter smiled and said, "In that case, we can cover His Highness and leave first."
"They can't keep me," Theresa comforted.
"I'm not referring to the Duke's coalition...I'm referring to Qi Yan."
"..."
Seeing Theresa was silent, the shapeshifter tried to persuade her:
"Given Qi Yan's personality, once he finds you, the Demon King of Sarkaz will become Rhodes Island's."
"...I have my own plans for this matter, but I really need you to do me a favor now."
Theresa still did not plan to evacuate. She turned and walked to the edge of the airship, looking back at the group of high-speed warships following closely behind her.
In the Windermere army, the main gun above the central main ship was flashing with orange-red energy, and it was obvious that it had been fully charged and could be fired at any time.
"This battle is necessary." Theresa's tone was a little depressed, "The witchcraft of the Sarkaz is very powerful, but because of this, too many Sarkaz indulge in the glory of history.
The souls protect the Sarkaz, and the souls imprison the Sarkaz."
The shapeshifter walked up to Theresa and said what she couldn't bear to say:
“Perhaps we can use some sacrifices to awaken those poor Sarkaz, use their wounds to let them see the progress of all races on this land, and use pain to make them open their eyes.
Your Highness, do you think the royal court will fall in this battle?
I wonder if the Banshee's death knell will sound on this battlefield?"
The shapeshifter tilted his head, suddenly remembering something else, and reminded:
"Qi Yan had some accidents. The people of Rhodes Island don't understand Qi Yan's true nature. They stubbornly demanded that Qi Yan not take action again."
"It's not that I don't understand, but I deliberately don't explore." Theresa said seriously, "Kelsey, Amiya, and the Doctor, their choices are the most correct, so they can attract Qi Yan.
But I also need to make my own judgment. I need to know what kind of person Qi Yan is. "
The shapeshifter was stunned for a moment, and finally caught up with Theresa's thoughts:
"You're not going to take the initiative to find Qi Yan, are you?"
Theresa nodded.
The shapeshifter muttered quietly, "Why do we always meet little girls who actively pursue Qi Yan?"
Theresa:?
Noticing Thearesia’s searching gaze, the Shapeshifter smiled and said:
“We will be responsible for sending you to Qi Yan. The little girl named Beulah last time must have satisfied Qi Yan, and you will be even more so.
I hope these two pledges of allegiance will ensure that the death knell on this battlefield does not toll for us."
Theresa:!
She was obviously a little surprised: "Are you also beginning to fear death? Is Qi Yan capable of killing you?"
The shapeshifter shook his head: "We still yearn to understand death and embrace death, but the 'death' Qi Yan bestowed upon us is too cruel. Although I cannot see through it, I can vaguely grasp the essence of Qi Yan.
The moment he takes off his disguise, all our thoughts and concepts will become empty talk."
"I don't understand." Theresa said frankly about her shortcomings.
The shapeshifter thought hard for a moment and explained:
"Qi Yan's blood can dissolve Originium, and Qi Yan can use the energy of Originium, but all this... is just Qi Yan's belief that he can do it."
Theresa's eyes flashed with confusion, and she turned to look at Windermere's warship in the distance.
After a moment, she suddenly said:
"Because he thinks he can, so he can."
"Yes."
The shapeshifter continued to express his own views: "Your Highness just said that the choice made by those people in Rhodes Island was correct, but in our opinion, their behavior is very dangerous.
The lonely Qi Yan would not take this land seriously. He did not care about life or death, truth or falsehood. Everything was just a passerby to him. But now Qi Yan was being slowly dragged into our ranks by the people of Rhodes Island.
Qi Yan is accompanied by a god, and in our long life, we have heard a little about the experience of that god. Your Highness, would you like to listen to it?"
“You’ve never mentioned this before.” Theresa frowned for the first time.
"Because Qi Yan was lonely before."
The shapeshifter seemed to have opened up and said slowly: "The story I heard is about a god who was no longer alone and chose to release his power to protect the people he cared about, which led to...tragedy."
