Aselda frowned as he looked at Xiao Ran. Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something. Along with this realization, he felt uneasy, nervous, and incredulous. The uneasiness was not because of Xiao Ran or the satellite system. Instead, it was because he felt that the person who would appear next might be someone he knew, and he could guess who that person was. The nervousness was because Xiao Ran's words reminded him of the door that was sealed under the South Pole.
When Xiao Ran nodded to Ryukino, the latter reappeared less than a minute after he left. Behind him was a man covered in a black robe. Even though the man had his head lowered, Aselda recognized him immediately.
"It really is you … Karolan …" Huon stood up from his chair and stared at the man in the black robe behind Ryukino. The two subordinates standing behind Huon, who were also wearing Vry's clothes, also looked at the man who suddenly appeared in shock.
The man in the black robe behind Ryukino took off his hat, revealing his dark skin and large bald head. He looked at Aselda and his two subordinates calmly and indifferently. "Royal knight Huon, Paladin Captain."
Aselda looked at Xiao Ran, who was sitting calmly without any expression, and then looked at Captain Karolan, who was now standing in front of her. She clenched her fists gently, then loosened them. She said in a deep voice, "When I was in the palace, I felt that your reaction was not right. I didn't expect to see you here. Could it be that you …?"
"No, I didn't betray Vry. The one who really betrayed Vry is someone else. I came here to save Vry, to save the earth that you also love deeply." Captain Karolan smiled. After he finished speaking, he turned to face Xiao Ran, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed deeply. "Captain Vry Karolan Wei greets the King of Earth, His Excellency President Xiao Ran."
When Aselda heard Karolan's words and saw his actions, her frown deepened. She began to think about the real reason why Karolan would appear here.
"Please rise." Xiao Ran raised his hand, and Captain Karolan stood up straight again. He looked at Xiao Ran with an expression full of respect, fear, and fanaticism. Of course, all these expressions were shown behind Huon's back, but Xiao Ran could clearly see them.
For Xiao Ran, Karolan's respect was there, but the same could not be said for his fear. Karolan's fanaticism represented his true thoughts...
"Captain Karolan, I'm very happy to see you here. I'm very grateful that you came all the way here." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "We've received your reminder, but I hope that you can explain it to Knight Huon on my behalf."
"For the peace and stability of Earth and Vry, this is what I should do." Karolan nodded, then turned to Aselda and said, "Knight Huon, let me introduce to you the reason why I'm here."
"Although I'm here because of Lord Xiao Ran's invitation, I'm also here for Vry. You should know very well what's buried under the South Pole, but do you know why Knight Goulandon insisted on setting the meeting place there? If he really wants to coexist peacefully with Earth, why would he need to delay until the last day?"
"Goulandon proposed to stall for time not for Vry, but for himself. You probably don't know that Goulandon has controlled the Holy Knight Order a long time ago. Apart from your disciple Orvan, most of the people have changed their allegiance from Her Highness to him."
"It's not just the knights. Many of Frey's people have been infiltrated and controlled by Granton. Perhaps it's because Her Highness still has you, me, and Head Sergeant Maignac by her side (Previously, Yizui wrote that he was a tactician, and always thought that he was a tactician), that's why Granton has been holding back."
"But once you and Her Highness are in trouble at the same time, Goulandon will directly launch a rebellion and completely take over Vry to become the new king. His goal is to destroy all the people on Earth who can resist and turn the remaining people into his slaves."
"Do you really think that he asked you to stall until the last day for Her Highness? In fact, he only wants to use this time to destroy the door hidden under the South Pole and release the monster behind the door to buy him more time. If there's a problem with the meeting at the South Pole, and the royal plane that you and Her Highness are piloting is destroyed due to an accident, it will give Goulandon a legitimate reason to rebel. "
"Impossible!" Huon's eyes widened as he stared at Captain Karolan in disbelief. "There's no way he doesn't know what's behind that door. With our current strength, even if he controls Vry, there's no way he doesn't know about the threat of Valla. Even if he destroys humanity, there's no way he can seal Valla again by himself."
Karolan continued unhurriedly, "I don't know what he's really thinking, but from what I know, he secretly developed a body that can rival Grandit Dragon God. His initial goal was to prepare for another battle with Valla, so he installed five high-output Outersteel extractors and even dismantled his own Lafourtclans. I wonder how long has it been since Knight Huon last saw Goulandon's body?"
"You don't know about this, Her Highness doesn't know about it, and neither does Captain Karolan. And to build a body in Vry's place without being discovered by others, you should know how much control Goulandon has over Vry."
Aselda's expression changed again and again. She looked at Karolan and opened her mouth, but she didn't ask the more important question. 'Since you know about this, why didn't you tell Her Highness earlier?'
Taking a deep breath, Aselda looked at Xiao Ran and Karolan with a complicated gaze and shook her head. "I won't confirm that Goulandon has betrayed Vry just because of what you said. I need to confirm it myself."
With that, Aselda placed her hand on her chest and bowed to Xiao Ran. "I'm sorry to have let Lord Xiao Ran see this side of Vry, but I need to return to Vry as soon as possible. As for the meeting, I'll arrange it according to My Lord's wishes."
Xiao Ran nodded. "It's good for you to go back. Your Highness sounds like a gentle person who doesn't have her own opinions. She does need someone reliable to protect her and preside over the overall situation. Also, this incident has affected my impression of Vry. I have to pay attention to Captain Karolan's warning, so I've sent people to monitor the south pole."
"At the same time, to prevent Vry from suddenly attacking us and to ensure that the threat can be controlled, I've already sent people to infiltrate Vry. Perhaps they're already prepared to capture Captain Karolan. Please forgive me, Knight Huon."
