At tonight's pre-game dinner, Rozen met Vibelle's representative team, led by Umiere.
They were humanoid magic beetles, the supporters of Jess's faction, and also the assassins sent by Jess.
Just think about it, why would Umiere and the others represent Vibelle in the Aerial Martial Arts Festival?
It was not because they were bored, but because they knew the significance of this year's Aerial Martial Arts Festival.
"His Holiness the Pope forcefully pushed for the Aerial Martial Arts Festival to be held, which made many people suspicious. Someone as smart as Jayz must have understood that this decision must have an extraordinary meaning, and if you think about it for a while, you will know that His Holiness the Pope is going to summon the Aerial Knights from all over the world to attack him since Vibelle doesn't have enough combat power."
Rozen said.
"In that case, Jess will not sit idly by, and he will definitely take action."
That action was to let his men represent Vibelle to fight in the Air Battle Martial Arts Festival, and defeat the human forces' Pilots.
"As long as we defeat the human airmen in the Aerial Martial Arts Festival and win, then first, we can weaken the human airmen's combat power. Second, if the humanoid magic beetles show enough power, then Jess can claim to the world that he has the qualification to rule mankind, because no human airmen can defeat them. They are the strongest existence."
That would be a very important process for Jess, who planned to use power to dominate mankind.
But …
"On the other hand, if the human forces can defeat the humanoid magic beetles in the Aerial Martial Arts Festival, they can also weaken the humanoid magic beetles' combat power and morale, and prove to all mankind that Papists are strong enough to deal with humanoid magic beetles. By then, even if Jess turns against them and starts a war with them, many humans will voluntarily join his side, and they won't be afraid of the powerful humanoid magic beetles. At that time, they can expose Jess's identity, and it will also win persuasion and influence."
Rozen looked at Annelotte.
"So, this year's Air Battle Martial Arts Festival is not only a pretense, but also an official declaration of war between humans and humanoid magic beetles. It's also a battle between the two camps."
The winner would obtain the most advantageous situation.
The loser would become a beaten dog.
There was no need to say how important it was.
With that, Rozen had to go back and compete properly.
Because that stage wasn't just a competition, it was also the center of the Great Maelstrom.
"Presumably, not only Jess sent a representative squad, but the Papists also secretly sent a squad to participate in this Aerial Martial Arts Festival, right?"
Rozen smiled.
"Since the Papists and the Jess Faction are on this stage, how can I come here for nothing?"
On this stage, Rozen had to intervene.
Otherwise, how could he expose Jess's conspiracy?
And letting Rozen participate in the Aerial Martial Arts Festival was also beneficial for humans.
As long as Rozen could defeat the humanoid magic beetles' squad, humans would have an advantageous situation in this war between humans and humanoid magic beetles.
Considering the enemy's strength, and considering their own strength, letting Rozen join the battlefield was understandable.
After all, the enemy was the humanoid magic beetles sent by Jess. To be able to receive such attention from Jess, the humanoid magic beetles in that squad must all have the ability to burst. It would be difficult for humans to defeat them.
But if Rozen participated, it would be a different story.
Unfortunately …
"Rorelles -san, your power can be said to be the hope of humans, and you must not be rashly put into the battlefield."
Annelotte rejected without hesitation.
Now, Jess already knew Rozen's arrival, and he also knew that Rozen was the captain of the representative squad of Mistergang who came to participate in the Aerial Martial Arts Festival, so it was impossible for him to be completely unguarded.
Perhaps, on the stage of the Aerial Martial Arts Festival, Jess would try to get rid of Rozen and hinder Rozen.
In this way, Annelotte could not let Rozen easily join the battlefield of the Aerial Martial Arts Festival.
Even if humans lost the Aerial Martial Arts Festival, as long as Rozen was still there, humans had a chance to win in the end.
On the contrary, humans were likely to be defeated.
Therefore, Annelotte believed that Rozen, a precious combat force, should not be put into the battle at this stage.
"Please stay here, stay by my side, and act for the sake of the human race."
Annelotte said.
However …
"Sorry, I don't plan to do that."
Rozen decisively refused.
"Rorelles!"
"Rorelles -san!?"
"Ro-san?"
Seeing that Rozen actually refused Pope's instructions, Ripa, Chris, and Emily couldn't help but speak.
Annelotte stood up from the throne.
"I am the highest person in charge of humans, the current Pope. As an airman of Mistergang, are you going to disobey Pope's order?" Annelotte couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Please be obedient, Mr. Rorelles, I don't want to accuse you of betraying humanity."
That was Annelotte's right as Pope.
However, it was useless for Rozen.
"It's not what I want to say, Your Majesty Pope." Rozen sighed, then said, "Don't you think that Jess's situation can also be applied to me?"
That sentence made Annelotte startled at first, then his face changed slightly as if he thought of something.
Rozen suddenly smiled.
"Because of Jess's popularity in human society, you can't report him directly, so as not to cause a civil war."
Rozen said word by word.
"This situation also applies to me."
Popularity?
Jayz had won the battle against the Magic Beetle and achieved a brilliant record. Rozen, who was on the frontline when he was in the third year of preparatory course, didn't he?
Supporters?
Jayz, as the council president, had the support of some airmen, but didn't Rozen, who advanced the development of magic technology by half a century, not to mention Rozen?
He was a human hero.
He was also the Sorcerer King.
In the human society, there were countless people who admired him, admired him, respected him, and loved him.
If Annelotte accused Rozen of betraying humanity, then many people would choose to support Rozen and overthrow Pope's rule, right?
That was definitely a problem for Annelotte, who didn't want to see a civil war.
Therefore, Annelotte couldn't touch Rozen at all.
Rozen had already said it.
"I have the right to choose, but you don't seem to take it seriously."
Leaving such words, Rozen disappeared in a flash.
"Wait …!"
Annelotte was shocked, and when he found that Rozen had left, his face became ugly.
"Pope … Your Majesty Pope?"
Ripa suddenly became overwhelmed.
“.....”
Chris couldn't help but be silent.
"It seems that little brother Rozen is more difficult than we expected."
Emily sighed heartlessly.
Annelotte gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in anger.
"I'm still a child, why put me under such pressure …!?"
His Majesty Pope, who had lived for hundreds of years, said that.
So, the gears began to turn.
The battle to determine the future of mankind began.
