Chapter 776 Kaister is anxious
Chapter 776 Kaister is anxious
Qi Yan is dead.
This message was intentionally transmitted to certain people under the control of a green person who had many individuals running around and liked to help Qi Yan search for various beautiful girls.
On the battlefield of Silverstone Cliff, Caister and Wellington received the news almost at the same time.
"impossible!"
The two grand dukes, though on their own flagship, gave their answers in unison.
Next to Caister, a man in a gray hat said respectfully:
"We have already contacted our informants in Londinium. They will confirm the authenticity of the news as quickly as possible, but..."
"If you have something to say, just say it. This is a battlefield, this is not the time for you to be hesitant." Kaister said sternly.
The man in the gray hat could see the worry hidden beneath Caster's calmness.
No one would joke about Qi Yan's death. There is no point in doing so. Without solid evidence, even a fool would not believe such a ridiculous statement.
"But there is news that Tracy has fled Londinium in a panic and is heading towards Silverstone Cliff."
The Gray Hat spoke the information that he had confirmed.
Kaister's face suddenly turned gloomy.
She asked again, "Do you have any clues about that strange thing above the Shard?"
“It was our fault.”
The man in the gray hat said ashamedly, "He appeared too suddenly and disappeared immediately. We didn't have time to verify his information.
But one thing can also be confirmed, "He" disappeared along with the skeleton beast and a group of people from Rhodes Island, and the news that Qi Yan was dead came out after that."
Kaister: “…”
Right, all right!
The Sarkaz used the Debris to create some terrifying things, which wiped out the entire Rhodes Island army in one fell swoop, but that kind of terrifying thing was obviously not something the Sarkaz could control. Tracy fled to Silverstone Cliff in a panic, just to divert the trouble!
Similar conversations and speculations also happened with the Duke of Wellington.
Compared to Caister, Wellington's reaction was calmer.
His fleet was at the most intense position of the battle. Looking around at this moment, the number of Sarkaz was even greater than that of friendly forces.
"Report on the battle situation."
Wellington said calmly.
The military staff immediately stepped forward and said quickly:
"Our fleet is still at the forefront of the coalition forces. In the rear, Caister and the other duke fleets she leads are still following up. The vertical line of the duke coalition forces will not be broken up in a short time.
The active Originium storm generated behind the Sarkaz has approached the front of the fleet. It is very powerful. According to preliminary estimates, even without taking into account the subsequent impact, it will directly cause our army to lose more than 10% of its troops.
But intelligence has come in from the periphery of the battlefield that the Breath of the Kings has broken through the Sarkaz's containment and is heading for the Duke of Kaster's flagship. Victoria will eventually break the storm."
Wellington asked again: "What is the Duke of Caster doing now?"
"She has already sent a fleet to aid the Breath of Kings. It seems that she wants to speed up the Breath of Kings' arrival at the battlefield."
"It seems that she was a little anxious after hearing the news that Qi Yan was dead... When you are anxious, you will make mistakes."
Wellington did not look back. He stood at the front of the battleship deck, staring at the figure floating behind the Sarkaz team across half the battlefield.
"What's the situation with Her Highness Abrana?" Wellington suddenly asked.
The staff officer paused and reported truthfully:
"Your Highness's injuries have not healed yet, and he is still fighting with the scavenger team at the edge of the battlefield."
"I understand."
Wellington nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the rear of the Sarkaz: "Give the order, all troops attack!"
"Yes!"
Without any doubt, when this iron-blooded army heard the order, even if there was hell ahead, the team would step in without hesitation.
Wellington's sudden and reckless move immediately caused chaos in the coalition's vertical line, and a large number of gaps appeared on the battlefield, allowing the Sarkaz to successfully advance the front line a large distance.
Dense communications flooded towards Wellington's flagship.
But no one expected that Wellington's fleet suddenly activated pulse weapons and aimed at the Duke's warships in the rear that were their teammates.
The signal was cut off instantly at this moment.
A harsh noise came from the communicator that was pressed against Kaister's ear, causing her expression to twist for a moment.
"What is Wellington going to do?"
Kaister was in a state of confusion at the moment.
She had just dispatched a wave of troops to search for Vina's team, but ended up being betrayed by their own people. The situation immediately became grim.
"Duke, what should we do now?"
Caister's military staff asked, "Should we retreat temporarily to avoid the Sarkaz's attack, or follow Wellington's steps and reorganize the front?"
Caister was silent.
She had never underestimated Wellington, but no matter how vigilant she was, the gap between the two in their understanding of the war could not be eliminated so easily.
With just one small move, Wellington successfully roasted Caister over the fire.
"It seems that what is coming is coming."
Caister took a deep breath and said, "We can't fall into Wellington's rhythm. He can ensure that he can retreat after advancing recklessly, but we can't. If we compete with him in the control of the war, we will die miserably.
Give the order to tighten the battle line, all warships fire at full power to resist the Sarkaz's charge, we must hold out until the Breath of Kings returns."
……
……
On the outskirts of the battlefield, Vina was holding the Breath of Kings, her body was covered with dust, and there was a lingering trace of fatigue after the battle in her eyes.
Horn covered Vina's side, used artillery to tear through the Sarkaz's line, and led the team behind him forward with Vina.
"Captain, the situation has changed!"
After Cello dealt with a Sarkaz, he immediately noticed the movements of Wellington's team.
Horn and Vina rushed onto a huge rock at the same time, risking exposing themselves and looking into the distance.
The two watched as Wellington's troops abandoned their allies and charged towards the rear of the Sarkaz with a desperate attempt to destroy themselves along with them.
"Why would Wellington do this?" Horn frowned. "Once the Breath of Kings arrives as agreed and plays its role, the Sarkaz will be unable to resist Victoria's joint attack."
Vina didn't rush to speak. She was recalling the information summarized by the doctor after the meeting.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Vina's mind.
"Wellington is the most special one among all the grand dukes of Victoria!"
Vina said in a deep voice: “It’s not about his leadership ability, but his bloodline. Wellington is from Tara.
For this reason, even though Wellington had made many military achievements and became one of the grand dukes, he was still restricted in various ways. The grand dukes wanted to use this to wear down his spirit, but now it seems that the dukes have failed.
Wellington had been silent for decades, and finally he had the chance to strike back at Victoria."
"Wellington is going to commit treason?!"
Horn was shocked: "At this time? Isn't he afraid that the Sarkaz will really crush Victoria to the ground?"
"What does trampling Victoria have to do with Tara?"
As Victoria's crown princess, Vina told a very hellish joke.
Horn: "...It seems you already have a solution."
"No."
Vina's answer made Horn a little nervous.
Just as Horn was about to check if Vina had a head injury, Vina spoke again:
"I don't need to figure out any way to control the overall situation. Compared to me, who only has the identity of a crown prince, there are too many forces in this Victoria dispute that can easily crush me or control me firmly.
Horn, do you think a so-called king should be omnipotent?"
"This... surely no one can do this?"
"Yes, this is not something that can be achieved. So I don't need to have the strategy of the doctor, the communication skills of Caister, or the war control ability of Wellington."
Vina held the Breath of Kings horizontally in front of her eyes, examining the national sword that was already stained with a large amount of blood.
She revealed her inner feelings for the first time:
"I finally realized that I had never wanted to be a perfect king, and the Victoria I wanted was never a puppet with only my voice.
Victoria, who should define Victoria?
No one can define Victoria, including me!
Horn, I now... no, we, we only need to do one thing now."
"doing what?"
"Wait for someone to come and extend their greedy hands."
"?"
Vina said calmly: "The dukes want the Breath of Kings, then give it to them. The dukes want the throne, then give it to them. I can give the dukes anything and any identity they want, as long as they still defend Victoria.
However, this is the limit, no one can go beyond this!
Victoria, can only belong to Victoria! "
Horn was shocked by Vina's aura at the moment, but still couldn't help but question:
"As you just said, you are absolutely at a disadvantage in front of these dukes. How can you control them?"
"Use their ambition, use their greed."
