"Is that so? King's City has already been overturned …"
In the Rose Café, Valkries slowly put down the cup in his hand and tilted his head to look out the window. It was drizzling in the Dream World. The water droplets on the glass window gathered and slid down, gradually fusing with the reflection of his side profile.
The expression in his eyes was extremely complicated.
In fact, when Roland contacted Valkries over the phone, he had sensed his fluctuating emotions. After that, Valkries came so quickly that his trousers were stained with muddy water. But when they met, he did not take the initiative to ask questions. Most of the time, he listened to Roland's narration. Such a contradictory attitude was rare for a Nightmare Lord.
"Due to the limited conditions, we did not have the time to check the results. But from the subsequent reports, Mask should have been on the Deity of Gods at that time. This means that all the obstacles to the Bottomless Land have been eliminated. We are one step closer to the answer. "
Roland did not offer any words of consolation.
This was the price of attempting to interrupt the Divine Decree, and the price Valkries had paid was even greater. Consolation was a form of cheap pity.
With the Nightmare Lord's pride, he definitely did not wish to hear such words.
"Of course, I do not know what will happen when I reach there, but as long as I can escape from the Battle of Samsara, I will definitely keep my promise. Next is the clue to Fog Island. Considering that the Sky-sea Realm had once appeared on the island … "
"It is impossible for the race to assist you in the battle against the Sky-sea Realm," Valkries interrupted for the first time. "Even without the king, the various leaders will not accept the new situation so quickly. Hackzord might be able to use my name to stabilize the order of the army, but only barely. You have to rely on your own strength to eliminate the mutants that crawled out of the sea. "
Upon thinking of the distance between Neverwinter and the Land of Dawn's north coast, Roland could not help but frown. The main force on the floating island was the Aerial Knight Army, but it was impossible to occupy the ground with just air power.
"But it is not impossible to obtain the support of one or two people." Valkries continued. "For example, Sky Lord and Silent Disaster."
"You mean …"
"The Western Front Army is still under Hackzord's control. This means that you can connect the north and south through the ridge of the continent. With the help of the Distortion Door, it won't be a long journey. " At this point, the King of Nightmares' expression had returned to normal. "So, as long as you move your troops to the Everwinter Northern Region as soon as possible, you should be able to catch up to the Floating Island."
"Teleportation … That's a feasible plan." Without a doubt, since Valkries had opened his mouth, it was obvious that he intended to talk to Hackzord personally. As such, the plan was almost certain. Although it was not a joint effort to resist the Sky-sea Realm, it was already an extremely ideal outcome. "Thank you." Roland nodded.
"I've said it before. This is all for the sake of the race. You don't have to thank me."
"I know, but humans also benefit from it in the end, so whether you need it or not, I will tell you."
"Suit yourself."
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and the cafe became quiet.
"… Is that all you wanted to say?" Valkries asked after a moment.
"Actually, I thought about it a lot at first, but I felt that you probably wouldn't want to hear it," Roland said frankly.
"Hmph." She revealed a look that said 'at least you understand'. "If that's the case, you can continue with your work. I believe that after this battle, you should have a lot of things to settle, right?"
"Indeed." It was always easy to talk to smart people. Roland looked at the clock on the wall. It had been exactly three hours and twenty minutes since Ru Meng. According to the time difference between the two worlds, the celebration should not have ended yet. "Then I'll first … Hmm?"
He suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some commotion in the alleys of the district.
Although it was drizzling, people walked out of the shops and gathered on the streets. Those who were holding umbrellas put their umbrellas aside and took out their mobile phones from their pockets. Their gazes all looked towards the sky, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
"What are they doing?" Valkries also noticed this.
"I don't know, I'll go out and take a look." Roland got up and walked out of the cafe, but soon he was stunned by the door. He saw a thin red line rising into the sky in the distance, and then connected with countless hexagons in the sky, forming a "giant umbrella" that covered the entire dome!
"What is this? A new laser light? "
"But its range is a bit too big!"
"I don't know where the light came from, the city center is not in that direction."
"Should we go to the street to take a look?"
People were talking about it everywhere, and the suggestion to go closer to take a look was quickly received by everyone. The crowd began to move out of the district, and then more curious people joined in, making the alley impenetrable.
"That's not a light," Valkries who followed him out said in a serious tone.
"I think so too." Roland frowned. Although the sky was covered with rain clouds, it was still daytime, and no light could be so glaring. Moreover, the red line was flickering, as if there was something flowing inside, just like a blood vessel.
And what made him feel the most uneasy was the honeycomb-shaped hexagonal "scales." He had seen a similar scene when the Oracle attacked Zero, but at that time, the barrier was like a mirror, and not as transparent as it was now.
Roland first called Garcia, and the reply he received was that the Association's sanatorium was not attacked, and Zero was safe and sound, which made him slightly relieved.
Just as he hung up, his phone vibrated again.
The caller was Fei Yuhan.
"Hey, where are you now? The Association has issued an emergency notice, requesting all official martialists to immediately return to the stronghold. "
"What happened?"
"Sky City suddenly cut off all communication with the outside world, and the specific situation is still under investigation. But … did you see the red light in the sky? It was launched from above Cloud Sky City. "
Roland was stunned for a moment. Sky City was tens of thousands of miles away from here, how could it be directly seen by the naked eye? This completely exceeded the limits of curvature!
He could not help but think of the Crimson Moon that looked exactly the same from every angle.
"… I got it."
"Right, isn't Valkries beside her as well? Call her along. "
Wait … how would she know that I'm with the Nightmare Lord? But before Roland could speak, the other party had already ended the call.
"Was it from the Association?" Valkries asked.
"Yes, this phenomenon probably has something to do with the Oracle." Roland held his breath and planned to leave the dream first. This was not a problem that could be solved in a short time, and it would not be too late to deal with it after the banquet. Moreover, there was an army of witches outside that could provide support at any time, unlike now where only Ling and Dawnen were guarding the coffee shop.
But the familiar dizziness did not appear.
He blinked in surprise and tried again, but the scenery around him was still the same, as if the other world did not exist.
