The frosty weather of the extreme north gradually climbed onto the body of the menacing behemoth that descended from the sky. Countless wreckage started from the mountain-like Yanglu City and spread out all the way until the wreckage that covered an area of dozens of football fields stopped at the edge of the Earth Alliance Headquarters.
"Woo woo woo!"
The low sound of the engine drowned out the howling of the cold wind at this moment. From the exit of the elevator that rose from the underground base to the surface, it quickly and carefully shuttled through the wreckage area scattered from the Yanglu City, all the way to the five Yanglu Cities in the distance that were full of cracks but overall still in good condition.
One vehicle.
Two vehicles.
With the appearance of the elevator that continued to rise from the snow-covered ground, trucks carrying stained and bloodstained Earth Alliance Army soldiers gradually gathered in the wreckage area like a torrent of steel, rushing toward the mission they had accepted — to seize the Yanglu City as perfectly as possible.
This was the military strength that the surviving personnel of the Earth Alliance Headquarters could muster up since Count Zazbarum launched the attack.
In that attack, the Earth Alliance Headquarters, which had almost no power to fight back, was able to save nearly half of their forces under Deucalion's initiative, coupled with the intervention of Ray Mingkai, Euphemia, and Avalon.
If it were not for the fact that the underground base that suffered the disaster still needed manpower to maintain order and deal with the ruins and rubble caused by the enemy's invasion, the Earth Alliance Army that appeared on the ice field now would have been all the forces of the Earth Alliance Headquarters.
"Woo woo woo!"
Amidst the low sound of the engine, pieces of wreckage of different sizes, still filled with wisps of smoke, and even a trace of sparks that persisted in the cold wind, quickly retreated. The Earth Alliance Army soldiers sitting in the back of the truck had mixed expressions on their faces, but they were also glad.
They were glad that they could be in this sudden battle, but they also had mixed feelings that they were not the heroes who defeated the invading enemy.
In the sky, the battleship Deucalion, which was once jokingly called by the Earth Alliance Army as coming out of a comic book, was slowly descending from the fourth gate of the port. Above the gate was the battleship that destroyed five Yanglu cities with one shot, Avalon.
The warship, which was red in color and interspersed with beautiful golden lines, gradually passed through the clouds and shone on the ice field again. It looked even more sacred and solemn.
As long as the soldiers of the Earth Alliance Army returned to this ice field from the underground base, they couldn't help but be attracted by this battleship the moment they saw it.
What the soldiers didn't know was that the atmosphere in Avalon was a little tense.
After coming to this world, Avalon's mission was to lurk in the meteorite belt in the Earth-Moon orbit and monitor the communications between the orbital Knight to obtain relevant information about this world.
This was something that Avalon, Teresa, and the others had accomplished very well.
However, at some point, Avalon, who was secretly monitoring the communications between the orbital Knight, discovered a clue.
A beautiful melody gradually sounded and gently hovered in the empty room.
This was a melody that made people recall the vast and boundless ocean.
Although there were no lyrics, the sound of the waves hidden in the melody could reverberate in the hearts of those who heard this melody for a long time.
"This is beautiful music. It reminds me of the memory of the first time I saw the ocean. Kai, what about you? "
This was one of the results of Teresa's monitoring after Ray Mingkai and Euphemia returned to Avalon.
"Teresa, is this the culprit that caused the orbital Knight to suddenly descend ten Yanglu cities?"
Different from Euphemia's feelings towards this melody, when Ray Mingkai heard this melody, his heart seemed to be constricted by something, and he almost couldn't breathe.
"I'm afraid so."
The one who answered Ray Mingkai was not Teresa, but White Cat State Zero.
White Cat State Zero's figure gradually emerged from the void, stood on the table, looked at Ray Mingkai, and said slowly,
"Kai. How are you now? Do you feel anything? "
White Cat State Zero's question made Euphemia and Teresa somewhat puzzled, but Ray Mingkai knew what White Cat State Zero was asking.
"You feel it too?"
Ray Mingkai's right hand covered his heart and looked at White Cat State Zero.
Its long tail swayed gently, and its golden pupils flashed with a thoughtful light.
"I feel it. This sound doesn't only affect your heartbeat, it also affects my claws. "
"Clang!"
The sharp claws suddenly popped out, and a trace of brutality flashed across White Cat State Zero's face. It was as if in the next second, this cute White Cat would go berserk and tear the human in front of it apart.
If not for White Cat State Zero's strong sense of reason, Ray Mingkai would be facing a crazy lion.
"Fragments?"
After thinking about it, this was probably the only reason.
"I don't know. But now, the purpose of our coming to this world is probably clear. We are not only tracking MISS. Q, but also the fragments that may exist and can affect us. "
Euphemia did not understand the conversation between Ray Mingkai and White Cat State Zero, but she still caught the information related to the fragments.
"Kai, State Zero. You mean to say that the cause of this situation is likely to be the person who created this piece of music? "
Ray Mingkai nodded, indicating that it was very likely. But he still had to confirm this information with Teresa.
"Teresa. Other than this piece of music, is there any other situation? "
"Yes!"
Teresa's answer was straightforward.
Moreover, she raised her right hand and pressed the watch on her left wrist, indicating Ray Mingkai, Euphemia, and White Cat State Zero to look at the holographic screen projected from behind her.
"People of Weise Empire! Long time no see! I am Weise Empire's First Princess, Etheilam Weise Alyossia! I believe everyone knows about the misfortune I suffered some time ago, and even thought that I died in that attack. But now, I am back! I am back from that hellish attack! After paying the price of losing my freedom of movement, I am finally back! Back to the Weise Empire shrouded in holy light … "
What appeared on the screen was a girl wearing a white sand dress with golden hair tied up.
Ray Mingkai, Euphemia, and White Cat State Zero were familiar with her appearance.
"Etheilam?! Didn't she just say goodbye to us and went to shut down the power reactor in Yanglu City near the Earth Alliance Headquarters? "
Euphemia froze for a moment, and then thought of a possibility.
"Is it a substitute? Or a puppet cultivated by the Orbital Knight?! "
Euphemia's guess was based on the various actions taken by the Britannia Empire under the premise of protecting the Emperor's safety.
Although some places were not very correct, these were still caused by the particularities of this world.
"No. It's another princess. Uffi, do you still remember the first condition for the activation of ALD Noah? "
Ray Mingkai corrected Euphemia's guess and gave a hint.
"The activation of ALD Noah requires a start-up factor."
The moment this answer was said by Euphemia, she had already guessed the answer implied by Ray Mingkai.
"Is that so? It seems that Etheilam has another sister. "
Although this answer was not something that could be seen in the light of day, it was true.
If it wasn't for Euphemia's father, the overbearing Emperor Shaluru, who had been devoting himself to fighting against the gods, Euphemia would have been in the same situation as Ethelam. She would have been confused by the sudden appearance of her siblings.
No doubt!
Even if many emperors in history were called tyrants, as long as they had a utilitarian heart, they would not refuse to let their female relatives serve the emperor. No matter how frightening and terrifying the Emperor was in the rumors!
"Kai! Let me tell this news to Etheilam personally! "
While thinking, Euphemia made a decision.
Perhaps, among everyone, only Euphemia could stand in a position similar to Etheilam and communicate with her.
"Mhmm. I'll arrange the next action. I'm afraid our next action will be on Mars. "
The suspicious music that could arouse the emotions of others, the second Princess Remurina disguised as Etheilam, and many other mysteries pointed to the same target, which was Mars Weise.
Now that Earth had been turned upside down by Orbital Knight, perhaps only Mars Weise, which was about 55 million kilometers away at the closest and more than 400 million kilometers away at the furthest, could hide secrets that Ray Mingkai didn't know.
"What? You're going to Mars?! "
The news that Avalon was about to set sail for Mars reached Darzana's ears, and it immediately caused an exclamation of disbelief.
"Are you going to directly attack the headquarters of the Weise Empire?"
"No. This is not considered. In addition, before going to Mars, we have some things to deal with in the Earth-Moon orbit. "
Ray Mingkai's words made Darzana unable to believe it.
In her common sense, Mars was far away!
Since the war 15 years ago, and even further back, the communication between Mars and Earth had never been equal.
The Weise Empire, with the black technology of ALDNOAH, undoubtedly controlled the universe between the Earth and Mars, and even firmly controlled the Earth-Moon orbit in their hands. The huge and terrifying Yanglu City was like the Sword of Damocles, hanging over the heads of the Earth Coalition Army for a long time, making the people on Earth tremble with fear.
Even now, after defeating the invading Orbital Knight, Darzana still didn't think about the possibility of counterattacking the Weise Empire.
"Captain Darzana. You're saying that Mars is now very far away from Earth, so far that even Deucalion couldn't safely reach it without proper preparation? "
Ray Mingkai had already seen through Darzana's worries from the beginning.
This might be the upper limit of the world's vision.
Even with the black technology of ALDNOAH, after the accident of the hyperspace gate 15 years ago, neither the Weise Empire nor the humans on Earth focused on the aspect of how to once again obtain the ability to shorten interstellar travel on a large scale after losing the hyperspace gate.
"Isn't it? Re … Warrant Officer Ray! Although we have won this battle now, the situation at the Earth Coalition Headquarters is still not optimistic. In this case, as a commander, I'm afraid I can't agree with your plan. "
After Darzana mentioned Ray Mingkai's name, she paused, but in the end, she decided to address Ray Mingkai as before.
"Captain Darzana, I understand what you mean! However, in my plan, the next action does not require the participation of Deucalion. The reason why I said it now is just to remind you of this factor. "
Ray Mingkai's feedback made Darzana frown.
After a moment of silence, Darzana finally gave a very tactful reply.
"Warrant Officer Ray. I will report your plan to the higher-ups. As for how the higher-ups will respond, I hope you can wait a moment. "
After a pause, Darzana said again:
"Even if the combat power of your Avalon is strong, the enemy is the entire Weise Empire. I hope you can think carefully before that. "
"I'll think about it. Captain Darzana. But it was still unknown whether the headquarters could organize an emergency command center. How about this! Avalon will wait here for 24 hours. When the time is up, Avalon will immediately take off and go to the Earth-Moon orbit. "
The arrival of Avalon had, to some extent, divided the relationship between Ray Mingkai and Euphemia and the Earth Coalition Army. Based on this, Darzana could no longer maintain a normal superior-subordinate relationship with Ray Mingkai and Euphemia.
"I'll do my best! If possible, I hope Deucalion can participate in the next action. "
"I'll look forward to it. But before that, I hope you can equip Arrion and even Sreipnir of the Boundary Mound Insail with space equipment. Otherwise, they can't fight in the space environment. "
The communication with Darzana ended for the time being.
But on Euphemia's side, there were some problems.
Falling into a Yanglu City on the east side of the headquarters of the Earth Coalition Army, Ethellam looked at the corpses lying on the ground with a pale face.
They were the Weise people that Ethellam was familiar with.
Even among these people, the man with curly hair who wore the uniform of a count was even more familiar to Aythilam.
However, not long ago, this man who claimed to be loyal to her and the Weise Royal Family fell into the abyss of death with a face full of fear.
According to the examination of the military doctor who followed the team, these people did not seem to have died from the impact of the Yanglu City falling to the ground, but probably died of unknown heart failure after entering the atmosphere.
What the hell is going on?!!
