Eleanor's claim of not being able to hold on for too long was not considered short.
The final movement and descent of the Deity of Gods took about two days. Roland also sent the First Army to conduct a detailed investigation of the coast of Seawindshire to ensure that there were no casualties during the descent.
Two days later, at dusk, the bottom of the floating island made contact with the sea surface for the first time. From afar, the huge inverted body seemed to be independent of the sea line, and this was also the last time it would reveal its full appearance. As the inverted body sank into the Swirling Sea bit by bit, the sea level began to rise rapidly, and the beach outside the port disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The waves surged over the embankment and rushed into the port's warehouses and other facilities.
The abandoned ships that remained in the port were pushed back and forth by the artificial tides, and were finally torn to shreds by the violent pull. The crashing of the waves against the land was incessant, and could be heard clearly even from miles away.
Roland stood on a safe high ground and witnessed the entire process of the Deity of Gods entering the sea.
After all, such a magnificent scene would probably not happen a second time.
His only regret was that he did not know how to recite poems.
According to history, if he were to recite a poem at such a time, regardless of his standard, it would be recorded in the annals of history along with his back view.
Finally, the afterglow of the setting sun appeared behind the Deity of Gods once again. It reflected the clear and crystalline waves that resembled a belt of light, passing over the new land and extending all the way to the lowlands of Seawindshire, as though the two had become one.
Even though the Deity of Gods was rather large, it was not worth mentioning when compared to the Swirling Sea. By the time it was embedded into the seabed and transformed into an island, the tides that flooded the port would recede sooner or later. And the gap between the island and the mainland would become a new sea route. At the same time, it was equivalent to closing the distance between Graycastle and the Fjord Islands. Roland could already foresee the day when it would become a flourishing commercial island.
"I never expected the demon's ultimate weapon to become the kingdom's new territory." Nightingale, who was watching with him, sighed. "It looks like the map of Graycastle will have to be rewritten."
"Compared to that, I'm more concerned about what the demons will do." Filis, on the other hand, was more concerned about the problems they had to face. "If there are no supply stations along the way, it will be difficult for them to return to the ridge of the continent."
"These can all be resolved through negotiation. We've already taken the first step. At least the outcome isn't too bad." For some reason, Roland suddenly thought of the Dream World. In the Dream World, the demons all came from a remote peninsula, and the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar. "As for this new territory, let's call it the Cargarde Peninsula."
…
After that, there were not many twists and turns in the three-party conference.
After learning of Mask's shocking plan and that the King already knew what was happening here, Hackzord was clearly distracted. He even had Serakkas answer some of his questions on his behalf.
Roland could roughly guess Hackzord's feelings. No matter what, Sky Lord did not wish to completely fall out with the king before he obtained concrete evidence. Now that he suddenly discovered that the king knew everything they had done, it was equivalent to him having no way out. For Hackzord, who pursued caution in everything, it was inevitable that he would feel anxious.
In comparison, Silent Disaster was much calmer, as though as long as Valkries was fine, everything else had nothing to do with her.
The plan to deal with the demons left behind in the Deity of Gods was quickly decided.
It was impossible for Roland to agree to them establishing a Red Mist supply line along the borders of the Four Kingdoms, and the two senior lords did not care about the lives of the Inferior Demons. Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of demon-less laborers would remain in the new island and take on the subsequent construction plans. Over a thousand Mad Demons would enter hibernation to conserve the consumption of Red Mist and wait for a suitable opportunity to migrate in the future.
The obelisk had already entered an irreversible state of withering. Only the Red Mist Lake could supply the Red Mist, and it would gradually dry up. To the demons who were extremely reliant on the Red Mist, this place had already become an isolated island. Therefore, after assisting in the transfer of the Mother of Soul, Hackzord would bring Silent Disaster back to Sky City to seize control of the remaining troops.
Since his actions were already known to the King, it was never a bad thing to have more power in his hands.
From the other party's attitude, it did not seem like he wanted to go against the King. Roland did not plan on forcing the issue. After all, if he were to suddenly go back on his word before the battle, it would easily lead to a disaster.
Finally, it was Mask Nassaupelle.
This time, it wasn't just Celine and Eleanor, even the two senior lords had the same opinion — that the other party had to die.
According to Hackzord, even if he were to evolve to an omnipotent state, it would have nothing to do with his race. The path he chose only existed for himself. Once he succeeded, his race would only exist in name, or in other words … he would completely transform into another species.
"The problem is that he can switch bodies at will through the 'net,' so how do I completely destroy him?" Roland raised the key question.
"Once his plan succeeds, it will indeed be extremely difficult to achieve, but we are still far from that stage." Celine conveyed Eleanor's words. "Before the connection was severed, I could sense the difference in strength between the various nodes, and there were only one or two nodes that could compare to the Deity of Gods. "
"This female — ancient witch is right." After being glared at by the numerous God's Punishment Witches, Hackzord quickly corrected himself. "After all, Nassaupelle did everything behind the King's back. It is impossible for him to have the opportunity to modify the Mother of Soul in every city to the same degree. And those nodes that have not been modified sufficiently are likely to be unable to transmit his consciousness. Furthermore, the Birth Towers that cannot be moved will be destroyed one by one by the Sky-sea Realm, so there aren't many places he can go. At present, I am guessing that Mask is most likely in King's City. "
It was truly Hackzord's style.
Roland thought to himself. To destroy Nassaupelle, he had to destroy King's City. And other than Mask, the King was also in King's City. Although he had expressed his unwillingness to clash with the King, his suggestion had pushed the King into the bullseye.
But this plan had won over Roland's heart.
He did not wish for the crisis of the Deity of Gods to happen again in his territory.
To strike down King's City in the Fertile Plains before the enemy could launch a desperate counterattack was undoubtedly the method to minimize the risk. More importantly, Eleanor's appearance had undoubtedly increased the feasibility of the plan.
Once he obtained a floating island, he would be able to shorten the range of the Air Knight's troops. This was especially important for the heavy-lift bomber project. The most difficult part of the project was the development of a new high-powered engine. According to the plan provided by the Graycastle Design Bureau, the manufacturing, assembly, and test flight would require at least a year. But with a mobile platform in the air, the main engine could be changed to the Phoenix's fourteen-cylinder piston engine. As such, the success of the heavy-lift bomber project was just around the corner.
