Liverpool, the square in front of the train station.
It was the square in front of the train station, and it was one of the most lively places in Liverpool at this moment.
Because it was one of the venues of the Automaton Expo. There were all kinds of excellent automatons from all over Europe. They were arranged in an orderly manner like exhibits, attracting all kinds of people to gather here and praise the automatons.
These automatons also had a variety of shapes. Some were humanoid, some were beast-like, some were alien, and some were mythical creatures. It could be said that there was almost everything that one could think of.
However, among these automatons as exhibits, the most unique and eye-catching one was undoubtedly a huge steel object located in the center of the square.
That was a warship.
Yes, a warship.
According to the classification of warships, it should be a land warship.
However, this land warship relied on floating, so it could also move on the sea. It also had air sacs to provide buoyancy, and its propulsion relied on propellers. Not only could it go into the sea, but it could also take off. It was a warship suitable for sea, land, and air. It was even equipped with a variety of barrels. At first glance, it was obvious that it was a very terrible destructive weapon.
However, such a land warship was an automaton.
Not only was there a magic circuit inside the warship, but the core component that controlled the warship's mechanism was also Eve's Heart. Even if it looked like a warship, it was a veritable automaton. Once it was awakened, it could be controlled by a puppeteer.
Its designer and creator was an extremely famous British mechanic, but it was owned by France.
Perhaps it was to promote the country's prestige, or perhaps it was to restrain their old enemy, Great Britain, this land-based warship was brought to Liverpool to be displayed at the exposition. It was the most famous exhibit of the exposition.
Its name was Daedalus.
Around the square where Daedalus was located, at this time, it was surrounded by a British army.
The soldiers were armed, with a solemn face, and they were accompanied by mechanical dogs made of inorganic materials. At first glance, it was obvious that they were automatons.
It was a mechanical legion formed by puppeteers.
Inside such a mechanical legion, three figures were standing in front of Daedalus.
Standing in the middle was a nobleman whose hair, clothes, and accessories were all black.
The noble young master's facial shape and facial features were very regular. His body exuded a sense of arrogance and boldness that surprised others. His face also carried a cold and arrogant expression that was a combination of coldness and sneer. One look and anyone could tell that he was from an extraordinary family.
Beside the noble young master were a man and a woman.
The man was also equipped with a weapon and wore a military uniform. Although he was old, one could still feel an astonishing magical power from him.
The woman, on the other hand, was expressionless. She wore a gown and had beautiful emerald hair. However, she didn't even blink her eyes. She just kept staring into the distance as if she had lost her soul.
If Rozen was here, he would definitely be shocked, right?
Apart from the others, the emerald-haired girl looked exactly like Io.
The unknown noble young master led a mechanical legion with these two people. He looked at the land warships in front of him and spoke sarcastically.
"Look, General. These are the weapons that France specially transported over. This is a blatant invasion. If we don't fight back, it will be a disgrace to England. Don't you think so?"
The young master in black actually said such a thing, causing the atmosphere of the audience to freeze.
Even the general couldn't help but frown and look at the noble young master.
"Please don't joke around, Your Highness."
The general addressed the noble young master as such.
"This isn't something that can be said casually. Once others hear it and it becomes the fuse of war between England and France, Your Highness will become a sinner."
The general admonished the noble young master, but all he got was a snort of contempt from the noble young master.
"France doesn't have the guts to start a war, and neither does England. In the current state of the world, any war initiated by a great power will become the fuse of a world war. Those foolish fellows are all trying to avoid war in an attempt to keep the peace. No matter who it is, they are just a bunch of gutless fellows."
His Highness glanced at the general and laughed fearlessly.
"Because of this, this country needs to reform, and this world needs to change. Sooner or later, I'll kick that useless father off the throne and sit on it openly. I'll give the world a good shot. That way, the world will belong to our Great Britain Empire, and I'll be the king of the world in name only."
The noble young master who was addressed as His Highness actually dared to say such rebellious words.
"Please be careful with your words, Your Highness."
The general's face tightened.
However, this couldn't make His Highness restrain himself at all.
"You are also a coward, General Guletta." His Highness didn't care about the general's feelings and said casually, "Since I plan to usurp the throne, there is no need to hide it. Sooner or later, we will have to shed all pretense of cordiality. This country is also destined to be mine. So what if I make such a declaration in front of everyone?"
With such words, His Highness turned his head and looked at the general named Guletta, smiling provocatively.
"Or, as a person who is known to be comparable to the strongest magician of the 19th century, Edward Rutherford, you are actually afraid?"
His Highness provoked General Guletta just like that.
In this regard, the general said nothing and fell silent.
His Highness suddenly felt bored and looked at Daedalus in front of him again.
"I don't like this city of ingenuity."
His Highness said such words in an extremely arrogant and presumptuous tone.
"It is obviously the city with the most advanced ingenuity technology, but it doesn't contribute to the motherland. It is obviously the territory of our country, but it can't even manage a mere college properly, allowing Edward Rutherford to do whatever he wants with the support of autonomy. Not only does he use the state's funds to carry out research, but he also takes the research results as his own. Even this expo is the same. Every year, there are obviously the latest technologies from all countries gathered here, but he just looks at them. Why not just take them all for himself? This way, not only can it weaken the strength of other countries, but it can also improve our military strength, right? "
His Highness talked nonsense just like that.
"And you, General, as the only existence that is known to be comparable to Edward Rutherford, are you willing to be alone for the rest of your life?"
His Highness made a declaration to Guletta in a proud, absolute, and bold manner.
"Just follow me, I will take you to stand at the top of the world."
"Make it clear first, you can't hesitate."
"That's because I'm right."
His Highness said these words without hesitation or uneasiness, only absolute confidence.
Facing such a Highness, the general held his breath.
However, it was undeniable that the general's blood was boiling, and even his heart was beating faster.
Under such circumstances …
"Well, the goddess who gave me the chance to rule the world is here."
His Highness suddenly turned his head and looked behind.
There, two people entered the venue.
"Your Highness."
Redcliffe bowed respectfully to His Highness.
"I'm sorry I'm late, Your Highness."
Io also lowered his head.
