On the shattered land, the majestic fortress that the Britannia Empire once regarded as the empire's last line of defense had already disappeared.
The only traces left in this world were the remains that were burned by the raging flames, the broken buildings that were scattered all over the ground, as well as the remnants of the ruined buildings that were fluttering in the wind.
At this moment, on the land where the huge fortress once stood, there was only a deathly silence and a shattered scene.
"No, impossible!!"
Suddenly, a scream tore apart the deathly silence that had seized the life of the entire fortress.
In the scorching wind, a layer of light barrier that seemed weak but was abnormally sturdy firmly shrouded a corner at the center of the explosion. It was not affected by the terrifying explosion that destroyed the entire fortress at all.
And under this layer of light barrier, there was the Bright Red Lionheart Knight and a small passenger plane whose engine had been destroyed.
The owner of the scream just now was the woman who had stumbled out of the small passenger plane.
That gorgeous red dress was stained with mud, and that gorgeous feather fan had also fallen to the ground. More than half of it was covered by the dust that had been blown up by the explosion. That pair of eyes that used to hide under the mask and recklessly look around for prey were now filled with panic.
"No! How is this possible! You … You … No!! It's impossible for anyone to escape from such a devastating explosion!! "
This woman who was looking at the Bright Red Lionheart Knight in disbelief was the lady in the red dress who had retreated together with the Flying Bird Masked Man before the explosion engulfed Hadrian Fortress.
For some unknown reason, before they had escaped, Qiligu had seized the opportunity to capture the small passenger plane that the lady in the red dress was on. From there, she had witnessed the terrifying explosion that had overturned the entire fortress with her own eyes.
Judging from the lady in the red dress' panicked and disbelieving expression, this experience did not seem to be a good one.
It was a pity that the person facing the lady in the red dress was not some Knight who had a tender heart for the fairer sex, but a cold man.
Qiligu glanced at the screen where the lady was pointing at the Bright Red Lionheart Knight, and after confirming that there were no abnormalities in the AI's assessment of her vital signs, he sent out the mission completion signal.
The next moment, a huge shadow quietly descended from the sky, brazenly revealing its existence. The shadow that covered the moonlight scattered across the land that was still being ravaged by the aftermath of the explosion.
"No!! This … This is … "
In the sky fortress, Damocles broke through the dense clouds in the sky and scattered the bright moonlight on the land that was being ravaged by the terrifying energy storm. it was like a giant god of the sky had descended.
"Monitoring the wind direction change! Position adjustment! "
"We have detected that the aftermath of the explosion is still affecting the local climate. Immediately activate the energy field to resist the extreme climate that may occur at any time!"
In the command center of the sky fortress Damocles, a soldier wearing the empire's technical staff's uniform was methodically responding to the current battlefield environment according to the operating of the operation of the operation of the sky fortress.
Although the sky fortress Damocles of the battlefield of the battlefield, it was still the scene scene scene scene scene of the battlefield.
But the shattered earth below was so shocking and intimidating.
A majestic fortress that was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of protecting the imperial capital had been turned into scorched earth in an instant.
"Seems like Qiligu took a bullet for me!"
Ray Mingkai, who was sitting on the main seat, had a complicated expression.
According to the battle plan, when Qiligu and Titania led the Royal Knight Regiment into Hadrian's Fortress, Ray Mingkai would lead the main force to descend from the sky and take down the fortress in one fell swoop.
In the end …
Before Damocles of the sky fortress could enter the airspace, Hadrian's Fortress had exploded by itself.
Faced with such an outcome, Ray Mingkai really didn't know what to say.
"Your Highness. I've already sent someone to report back to the imperial capital about the explosion of Hadrian's Fortress. "
Shumna, who was standing by the side, spoke softly.
"En, thank you for your hard work. But Princess Shumna, aren't you going to continue resting? You must have expended more energy than you look. "
Shumna insisted on participating in the operation of Damocles of the sky fortress.
After much persuasion, Ray Mingkai gave Shumna part of his duties as adjutant.
"No. My body is in good condition! Your Highness should know that my GEASS isn't a prophecy. "
"Is that so?"
Ray Mingkai didn't have any intention of delving into Shumna's GEASS.
"Then, I'll leave the containment team to you! Also, have Chalio prepare to attack at any time. "
"Yes! Understood! "
At the same time, the imperial capital was also bathed in the moonlight.
The moment Damocles of the sky fortress appeared on the battlefield was still lingering in the hearts of the imperial capital's citizens.
Regardless of how they felt at the moment, almost all the gazes in the imperial capital were gathered on the brightly lit palace that was guarded by many royal guards.
"General."
It was different from what the imperial capital's citizens had imagined.
A chessboard with a few chess pieces unexpectedly became the home ground of the empire's diplomacy.
Sitting on both sides of the chessboard with black and white chess pieces in hand were the Britannia Empire's Queen Euphemia and the ambassador from Starry Sky City, Lacus.
The two had met earlier, but because Euphemia was too busy, they didn't really sit down and talk in detail.
Now, taking advantage of the fact that someone wasn't in the imperial capital, they finally had the chance to sit down and talk.
However, they didn't talk like normal people. Instead, they held chess pieces and fought back and forth on the chessboard.
"I've lost."
Looking at the white chess piece that was a declaration of victory, Lacus readily admitted her defeat.
However, Euphemia didn't seem to be happy about her victory.
From the start of the battle on the chessboard, Euphemia and Lacus only had a 50% chance of winning.
No matter how they used their intelligence and strategies to fight with their chess pieces, they couldn't pull away from each other.
"Ambassador, you're amazing."
Euphemia casually put down the chess piece, indicating that the battle was over, and said with a double meaning.
"No. Compared to Her Majesty, I'm just doing my duty. "
Maybe she doesn't understand?
Or maybe she's feigning ignorance?
Lacus only smiled faintly and responded to Euphemia with official words.
Fortunately, before the two women started a new round of "battle", an urgent message from Damocles in the sky diverted their attention.
"Your Majesty! Knight King's urgent message! "
The maid quickly stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Is that so? Transfer it to me! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Euphemia didn't avoid Lacus's presence and decisively chose to transfer the urgent message from the frontlines to her.
As the projection screen unfolded, a video of a bird's eye view and a battlefield battle appeared in front of the two women.
"Hadrian Fortress."
Euphemia saw the introduction of this fortress from the information and clearly knew the duties of this fortress.
The fierce battle in the video didn't last long before it was drowned out by a terrifying white light.
"Self-destruct?! Your Majesty, I didn't expect the rebels to be so daring as to blow up a majestic fortress. "
Lacus's gaze paused for a moment on the battlefield that was drowned out by the white light before shifting to the high-altitude view overlooking Hadrian Fortress.
It was a terrifying energy sphere that swallowed the entire fortress in an instant.
The moment it appeared, the majestic fortress was razed to the ground, and the humans and creatures in it were turned into ashes without them knowing.
"Yes! It seems that I've underestimated the rebels' daring! However, this is something to be thankful for. "
Euphemia sighed, and there was a hint of relief in her tone.
"Relief?"
Lacus was stunned for a moment, but she soon understood.
From the contents of the emergency telegram, Lacus didn't see Ray Mingkai personally leading a team into Hadrian Fortress. Until the moment of Hadrian Fortress's self-destruction, the only person left in Hadrian Fortress was the First Knight of the Round Table, Zirigul Chubby.
And even earlier, Ray Mingkai had privately discussed with Euphemia about the uniqueness of Zirigul Chubby.
"Even in a situation where death was certain, Zirigul Chubby wouldn't die as easily as mortals thought. In a sense, Zirigul Chubby's existence is no doubt equivalent to the existence of the undying! "
Such an evaluation was confirmed at this moment.
Of course.
Lacus might not know about Zirigul Chubby's uniqueness.
However, she knew that Ray Mingkai wasn't affected by Hadrian Fortress's self-destruction. Instead, he was half a step behind and could only stay on Damocles in the sky and watch everything happen.
This was indeed something to be thankful for!
"Let's stop here! Ambassador. Now, let's get busy! "
Euphemia's words made Lacus reveal a smile.
She said.
"Then, Your Majesty. Is it possible for me to contribute as well? "
"Ambassador. If you rashly interfere in our country's affairs, it will cause international disputes. "
Euphemia raised her eyebrows and rejected Lacus's request.
"No! Your Majesty. Right now, I'm just Audrey Britannia. "
Lacus smiled brightly, and a necklace of stars, sun, and moon appeared in front of Euphemia.
"This …"
Euphemia was stunned at first, then smiled.
"Is that so? I see. Then, I'll have to trouble you, Ambassador. "
"This is what I should do! Your Majesty. I'm very grateful to Your Majesty for providing me with such an opportunity. "
