Under the starry sky, a pair of bonfires burned brightly, elongating the silhouettes of the man and woman sitting around the bonfires.
The aroma of the meat soup made Cornelia, who had just survived a life and death situation, twitch her lips. However, she still maintained the most basic etiquette and finished the bowl of meat soup in her hand.
"Thank you very much, Guy!" Cornelia put down the empty bowl in her hand and nodded slightly.
"It's alright. The conditions are simple, I hope Your Highness doesn't mind. "Ray Mingkai gestured that there was still room for another bowl. At present, the kitchen utensils that Ray Mingkai used to cook the meat soup were found in the hunter's hut. As for the main ingredient of the meat soup, the rabbit, was caught by a certain lion who took advantage of the situation to loot from the forest.
"There's no need. This bowl is enough. " Cornelia shook her head and said subconsciously, "In the past, when the battle at the frontlines was intense, this bowl of meat soup might only be enjoyed once every few days."
"No way?" Ray Mingkai was shocked when he heard Cornelia say this.
As the second princess of the Empire, even if Cornelia led the charge at the frontlines, with the Empire's strong support, Cornelia's life on the battlefield should not be so difficult.
"Yes. I asked for it myself. Although the Empire's strength is very strong, it is unable to take into account all aspects when fighting on multiple fronts. Therefore, when it is not necessary, I will let the logistics department treat everyone equally. There is no need to spend too many resources on me alone. "
Cornelia's gaze fell on the bonfire. She stared at the swaying flames and slowly talked about her past when she was fighting for the Empire all over the world.
Perhaps it was because she had survived a life and death situation.
Or perhaps it was because she sensed that Ray Mingkai wanted to save her.
The current Cornelia inadvertently had a hint of gentleness.
As she spoke, Cornelia raised her head and looked at the starry sky above the forest.
"However, the Knight behind me, Gilbert, Dalton, and the others have all died in battle."
When Ray Mingkai heard this, he was silent for a moment. He put down the spoon in his hand and let it swirl slightly in his boiling flesh.
"Perhaps, this is the fate of a Knight. 'Your Highness, please do not grieve for Gilbert and Dalton. As long as you're alive, their sacrifice will be meaningful. "
"Does it mean anything?"
Cornelia laughed at herself.
"The entire Knight Corps has been sacrificed, leaving only me alive. This was perhaps the greatest irony of all. We have risked our lives together on the battlefield so many times. They are no longer my Knight or my adjutant. They are more like my brothers, my family. "
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Ray Mingkai wasn't good at comforting others, so he didn't know what to say at that moment. He could only silently watch the crackling of the bonfire.
After a long time, Ray Mingkai's eyes flashed, and he took out a personal terminal from his pocket.
"Your Highness, for you."
Cornelia, who was still in grief, subconsciously raised her head to look at the octagonal object in Ray Mingkai's hand. It was crystal clear and looked like a work of art.
"This is?"
"My personal terminal. Through this, you can contact Uffi and Her Highness Euphemia. Perhaps, there are some things that are easier for the two Highnesses to talk about. "Ray Mingkai raised his hand and tapped on it. A holographic projection lit up from the personal terminal.
"Uffi? Wait, if you come to save me, then wouldn't Uffi … "
Suddenly, Cornelia seemed to have realized something, but in the next moment, her attention was drawn to the changing holographic screen.
"Kai? Is that Kai? "
As soon as Euphemia's voice sounded, a face that Cornelia was very familiar with appeared on the holographic screen.
"Uffi?! It's really you. You, where are you now? " Cornelia exclaimed, then was surprised by the pajamas that Euphemia was wearing.
According to her speculation, since Ray Mingkai had already come here to save her, then Euphemia must be on the other side, participating in the rescue of Department Q.
In other words, they should be in the middle of an intense battle now. Why was Euphemia wearing pajamas? Also, there seemed to be a few round dolls jumping back and forth around her, constantly calling out "Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, little dolls".
"Sister Royal?! It's Sister Royal!! Sister Royal, you've woken up! How's your body? Do you still feel hot? "
"… …"
When the two sisters began to communicate, Ray Mingkai quietly took the pot of meat soup from the bonfire and put it aside. After that, he slowly retreated a distance, leaving space for the sisters, Cornelia and Euphemia.
"Really unromantic! Kai. "
Ray Mingkai had just walked behind a big tree when the voice of the White Cat, State Zero, came from above. Then, Ray Mingkai's shoulder sank, and the White Cat, State Zero, jumped down from above and landed on his shoulder.
"Unromantic? Maybe! Also, State Zero, if you jump down like this, won't you crush me? You have to know that your weight is calculated in tons. "
Ray Mingkai glanced at the White Cat, State Zero, and said bluntly.
"Weight? Hmph, this body is at most the standard weight of a cat. It won't cause any pressure on your body. "The White Cat, State Zero, snorted and said lazily.
"This is your power?"
"Of course. Otherwise, how do you think this weak body can transform into a mechanical beast with a steel body in the blink of an eye? Kai, as a community with a shared destiny, you don't have to be entangled in this aspect. " The White Cat, lying on Ray Mingkai's shoulder, shook its paws and expressed its disdain for Ray Mingkai's obsession with unnecessary matters.
Ray Mingkai smiled and looked back at Cornelia, who was still sitting by the bonfire, holding a personal terminal and chatting with Euphemia. After that, he retreated a distance again.
"State Zero. Is the Bonzha form all of your power? "
After looking up at the starry sky above his head, Ray Mingkai asked the question in his heart.
"Bonzha? How is that possible? As the core of the world, how can I only have these forms? Kai, you may be able to forget other things. However, you must remember this clearly. " The White Cat, State Zero's expression suddenly became serious. Even its lazy posture on Ray Mingkai's shoulder had unknowingly changed to a squatting posture.
"As the fragments are recovered, my power will also be restored. Therefore, other than the current Leo, Schoneda, and Bonzha forms, there will be more forms in the future."
"Is that so? It sounds similar to a collectible game! Every time the collection reaches a new stage, new elements will be unlocked. State Zero, other than the forms, you should have other abilities, right? "Ray Mingkai chuckled.
"Perhaps! It's just that when my power is fully restored, our hometown may be revived. "State White Cat Zero shook its small head, and its tone was a little uncertain.
"Is that so? According to the current situation, we can only collect fragments. "Ray Mingkai thought about it and returned to the problem of State Zero's form. "State Zero, if we collect other fragments, what will be the next form? Heavy Armor Long-Fanged Lion? Or other types of long-toothed lions? "
"How would I know?" The White Cat, State Zero, glared at Ray Mingkai and growled.
The next day, early morning.
After a night's rest, Ray Mingkai woke up early in the morning and prepared breakfast. According to Cornelia's current situation, she should be able to withstand the load brought by the high-speed movement of the Leo Long-Toothed Lion.
Although there was still a long way to go before she could fully withstand the high overload of the Leo Long-Toothed Lion, Ray Mingkai felt that it should not be a big problem if it was just high-speed movement. The White Cat, State Zero, also made a promise.
After all, the driver's seat of the Leo Long-Toothed Lion was also designed to offset the high overload brought by high-speed movement. As long as State Zero paid a little attention to Cornelia's condition, the problem would not be too big.
In this way, if everything went well, they would be able to meet up with Euphemia and the others before sunset. However, Ray Mingkai knew that the enemies who had not yet caught up would not watch the Leo Long-Toothed Lion swagger across their territory and enter Langlan Xi Kingdom unscathed.
Therefore, Ray Mingkai still had to be prepared for battle.
"Good morning! Kai. "
Along with the sound of the door being opened, Cornelia walked out of the room with a trace of redness on her face.
"Good morning! Your Highness. Come, breakfast is ready. "Ray Mingkai scooped up the fresh meat soup in the pot and handed it over.
"Thank you." After Cornelia thanked him, she suddenly said something that caught Ray Mingkai off guard.
"Kai. I think the next move needs to be adjusted. "
"En? Adjust? Need to take a roundabout route to avoid the enemy? "Ray Mingkai's hands paused and looked at Cornelia in surprise. The White Cat State Zero lying on the side also opened its eyes and looked at Cornelia, whose aura had changed a little.
In Lei Mingkai's eyes, the somewhat delicate Her Highness the Empress of last night had quietly disappeared at some point. As the sun rose, the Valkyrie, the Second Empress, Her Highness Cornelia, once again returned to this world.
"Yes, Kai. I already know Uffi's thoughts. "Cornelia nodded and her gaze became sharp.
"To be honest, when Uffi took the initiative to confess her thoughts, I was very surprised. I even wanted to scold Uffi on the spot for this unrealistic idea. But … "
"But?" Ray Mingkai put down his spoon, sat up straight, and looked at the Royal Highness in front of him whose aura gradually became sharp, like an unsheathed sword.
"But I saw the world that Uffi experienced with you after she left this world." At this point, Cornelia's sharp gaze became slightly dim. "To be honest, I kind of wish that the person standing next to Uffi was me instead of you. But in that case, Uffi wouldn't be able to see and experience that magical world with her own eyes."
"Your Highness, do you believe it?" Ray Mingkai knew what Cornelia was referring to. He didn't expect that Uffi would choose to confess everything in her conversation with Cornelia last night.
"I believe it. Uffi also showed me her Inspector badge. Kai, you should have one too. "
Ray Mingkai nodded, took out his badge, and showed it to Cornelia.
After Cornelia took a few glances, she slowly sighed.
"If the world that Uffi saw is real, then this world can't go on like this. What's more, the Empire has changed. Since my brother who came out of nowhere returned, the entire Empire has changed. It has become so strange. "
"So, Your Highness, you want to die for the country?"
"Yes. As the Empire's Royal Highness, I, who lost the Knight Order, only have this little value. Just like Lu Luxiu and Li Lina who lost their mother. "Cornelia laughed self-deprecatingly, but there wasn't much care in her expression.
Obviously, Cornelia seemed to have walked out of the previous haze.
"What's more, Uffi is still alive. Also, she has a wish that she wants to fulfill. As her sister, I have the need to help her fulfill her wish. Then, I want to see the new world that made Uffi change. "
Speaking until here, Cornelia's eyes lit up with a flame called yearning.
"Believe me! Your Highness, your wish will come true. "
"Yes. I will believe you! Our Knight. "
Wait!
What did Cornelia say? That sentence just now seemed to contain some meaning? Did Uffi say something to her sister last night? Did she even tell Cornelia about my relationship with Uffi?
However,
Ray Mingkai didn't dare to ask more.

Arius.
This small river from north to south crossed the center of a small town, providing daily water for the residents of this town. It was also set up near this town to store the cherry stone energy used by the Four Great Knight Corps guarding the Britannia Empire's Europa territory. It was set up to store the cherry stone energy used by the Four Great Knight Corps guarding the Europa territory of the Britannia Empire.
But at the same time, because it was far away from the frontline, the residents of this town, and even the soldiers responsible for guarding the energy warehouse, didn't show too much tension. At most, the soldiers were even more nervous than the residents.
"Is it here? Your Highness. "
On a hillside somewhere, Ray Mingkai pressed down on the White Cat State Zero, who couldn't hold back and was a little restless when it saw the energy warehouse at the foot of the mountain.
"Yes. If my memory is correct, this should be the cherry stone energy warehouse for the Four Great Knight Corps. As long as this place is destroyed, the movements of the Four Great Knight Corps will be greatly restricted. At least for 72 hours, their bodies won't receive any cherry stone energy. "Cornelia nodded after putting down the monocular that she plundered from the prey hut.
According to Cornelia's new plan, State Zero still needed to stay in the Britannia Empire's territory for a while in order to contain the Four Great Knight Corps' movements, so that Euphemia and ZERO could make some adjustments.
Naturally, it was for the sake of forging a path that would allow Euphemia to ascend to the Emperor Stage.
