Chapter 147: Go to Gou Wu and Invite Kevin
"This battlefield inspires fear and respect."
The Duke of Wellington didn't care whether Londinium had completely fallen under Sarkaz control.
The other dukes, each with their own ulterior motives, were the same. They all harbored other goals, but among these goals, saving Victoria and restoring the royal family were definitely not included.
This created a very strange phenomenon across the entire battlefield. Even though the troops entering Londinium suffered heavy losses, these dukes could still restrain their emotions and remain on the fringes of the battlefield.
The Sarkaz, now without any worries holding them back, frantically assaulted their defensive lines like madmen. With the help of the Fragments Tower, that airship was like the eye of death; wherever it went, it turned enemies into ashes.
The army of the King of Carrion knew no fatigue or pain. Fighting such enemies for a long time had stretched the nerves of many Victorian soldiers to their limit.
......
"Everywhere, there are traces left by Catastrophes."
Huge Originium fragments that had fallen and settled into the ground were scattered all around. The concentration of Originium dust in the area had far exceeded safe thresholds.
Amiya felt heavy-hearted. Rhodes Island did not possess strength equal to that of the Military Commission. War was now inevitable, and they could do nothing about it.
In the end, it was the Doctor who saw through her thoughts, walked over, and patted her head, pulling her out of that state.
"Doctor?"
"Don't overthink it. Rhodes Island has already done everything it can."
The Doctor gently comforted her.
"Do we... really still have a chance to stop this war?"
First, there was the confusion from being questioned by "Adam," then witnessing the terrifying power of the "Fragments Tower." For the first time, Amiya felt that Rhodes Island's strength was so insignificant.
"There is a chance, and the method is right in front of us."
The Doctor was very certain, especially when saying the word "simple," her tone was convincing.
"Huh? What method?"
The Doctor's intelligence truly far surpasses ours. Amiya's eyes gradually regained their light as she also anticipated the Doctor providing a plan, a plan to reverse the overall situation.
"It's simple: go to Gou Wu and invite Kevin."
She spread her hands. Isn't this perfect answer clearly laid out on the table?
If it were a few months ago, right after she woke up, mere Theresa and the Sarkaz—after leaving Londinium, she would have at least given them an "extremely simple" rating.
"......"
Amiya's mouth twitched. Every time that man was mentioned, the Doctor completely transformed into that comedic woman persona.
Alright, she could understand that the Doctor was joking to relax her mood.
"Doctor, next time, please don't tell such cold jokes."
"Ah, was it really that cold?"
The Doctor was taken aback at first, then a look of apology flashed across her face.
But she quickly realized—wait, that's not right?! Who told a cold joke? Wasn't she stating facts?
"Twenty kilometers ahead is the rendezvous point agreed upon with Duke Windermere."
Amiya stopped paying attention to the "childish" Doctor. The development of this war was no longer something Rhodes Island could hinder. Rather, from the moment the Fragments Tower fired, the war had already begun.
Even if the Sarkaz didn't take the initiative to attack, other major nations couldn't possibly allow them to rise again.
"Child of a foreign race, please halt your steps."
A somewhat hoarse voice rang out. Everyone present, including those citizens of Londinium, felt their hairs stand on end.
It wasn't born from some kind of fear, but because something about the speaker was in opposition to something within them.
It was a hunched figure entirely wrapped in white cloth strips, holding a withered wooden staff. A decaying aura gradually spread.
"Leave the crown behind. That is not something you are qualified to wear."
The King of Carrion stood in place without any visible movement. Withered warriors wielding strange weapons and Carrionbeasts emerged from the ground one after another.
Soon, they surrounded them completely.
"Who exactly is he?!"
Just as this question arose in Amiya's mind, another voice provided the answer:
"Carrion Feeder, no need to waste your breath. Keeping them all here is the real task."
Blood churned and surged, finally coalescing atop a high wall into a haughty figure holding a wine glass.
The Lord of Blood?!
FrostNova drew Han Yu Bing Tian from her waist. The Rhodes Island members who had just dealt with him were naturally not unfamiliar with this guy.
So, the identity of someone who could engage in equal dialogue with him was already clear—another Lord of the Court.
"......"
"Is that so? I already know your answer."
The King of Carrion no longer restrained his creations. As a result, the citizens behind them suffered.
"Ah! Ahhh! Don't come over!"
"Don't eat me, don't eat me..."
One Carrionbeast after another pounced on citizens, biting frantically. The scene instantly turned bloody.
Suddenly facing so many enemies, even Rhodes Island operators were momentarily flustered before stabilizing the situation.
But this stability was quite brief because the corpses of citizens killed by Carrionbeasts underwent mutations, becoming part of the King of Carrion's army.
This was one of the most disgusting and distinctive abilities of Carrion Feeders: any corpse tainted by their or their creations' aura would be infected and become one of them.
Clang!
Han Yu Bing Tian struck against that withered wooden staff. A blade sharp enough to cut through iron and sever gold couldn't even break a small wooden staff now.
"You are that Amiya who killed that hypocritical Blood Fiend once?"
The King of Carrion asked this question. Upon hearing it, the Lord of Blood's face instantly darkened.
"Not bad. But if this is all your strength..."
A circle of withered red-green light extended outward from beneath the King of Carrion's feet.
Fatigue! Lethargy! Weakness!
In an instant, FrostNova felt dizzy and disoriented. Gritting her teeth, she held her tachi horizontally. A surge of frigid air brought her a moment of clarity.
Seizing this opportunity, she took several steps back in succession, retreating beyond the range of the withered light circle.
"......."
The King of Carrion did not pursue but instead looked strangely at the Lord of Blood. The meaning in his eyes was clear:
"You lost to something like this?"
Alright, he now had reason to doubt whether the Lord of Blood still possessed the strength to be a Lord of the Court.
One of his purposes in coming here this time was originally to see the person capable of killing that Blood Fiend once. As for the result... it was greatly disappointing.
"You...!!"
Put some effort into it! How have you become so weak after not seeing you for a few days?!
The Lord of Blood looked at FrostNova with frustration. Show me the same ferocity you had when you cut me down back then; let this old thing who never bathes see it properly.
Instead of making both of us look like clowns here!
[Event — Anto and W]
"W, it seems you've been doing well lately."
"Just say what you want directly, Anto."
"Sigh, I don't know why you've become so cold. You used to say 'goodnight' to me before."
"Heh, sooner or later I'll arrange for someone to finish you off."
