"...Is this so simple?" He just casually dealt with a few guards on the bridge and suppressed the bridge. Elaine, who had not been able to help at all, felt incredible.
"People in the church don't know the importance of this bridge at all." Arthur kicked the corpse away from his feet, cleared out the captain's seat, and hummed, "Skid Plattney's Ark is obviously not used.
Authority, but abusing its power. How sad."
"Ahem." Knight Commander Isagu who was traveling with him coughed a few times in protest.
"Ada, do you recognize me?" Arthur ignored Isagu's protest and raised his head to speak to the air: "Spirit pattern comparison. According to the Thirteenth Security Agreement, I am requesting temporary permission to be the captain."
After waiting for several seconds, a female, cold and inorganic voice suddenly came from the ceiling: "The spiritual pattern comparison is completed. The Thirteenth Security Protocol has taken effect, and the temporary captain's authority has been granted to Arthur D. Pantorakon."
"
Sure enough, it worked, and things went more smoothly than the King of Knights imagined.
"...Pantolaken?" Isagu hummed curiously, not knowing much about it.
"Then first, let the Ark land and turn off the ship's protection system to reduce energy consumption." Arthur said: "At the same time, turn on the wide-area loudspeaker."
"Yes, temporary captain." The ship's artificial intelligence navigation system replied.
Skid Plattney's Ark began to descend toward the ground.
"The Ark, which the church has spent hundreds of years failing to control, is so simple..." Isaac hummed.
Arthur still ignored Knight Commander Isaac. A small golden thing similar to a scarab golem also landed on Arthur's shoulder. Arthur knew that the thing was used to receive his voice in order to broadcast it.
"People outside the ark, listen," Arthur shouted.
His own echo came from outside. The sound was loud and shocking, resounding throughout the entire Vatican that was burned by war.
"The power furnace of Skid Plattney's Ark will completely lose control and explode in four hours. At that time, the Vatican will be engulfed in fire, and no one will be spared." He dropped threatening remarks when he came up.
Let those who are fighting stop first: "If you want to avoid disaster, please evacuate the Vatican now. All the occupants of the Ark must disembark. Those who are still fighting in the Vatican, whether you are a member of the church or an attacker, please
Evacuate immediately!"
Ark's wide-area broadcast uses extremely high-power sound pressure. It is repeated outside. It is so shocking that Arthur doubts that the sound pressure alone can make people stop. As for whether these people will obey the order.
Evacuation is their own business.
"I repeat. If you want to avoid disaster, please evacuate the Vatican immediately. All the crew members on the Ark must disembark. Those who are still fighting in the Vatican, whether they are church members or attackers, please evacuate immediately!"
The news was released, and in a very shocking way. The question is whether people outside can believe it. At this time, the ship has completely landed. Although there is still a distance between the ship's deck and the ground, people with normal physique should
Able to jump from the deck, leave Skid Plattney's Ark and escape. The ship's shields also completely stopped, which should reduce the pressure on the power furnace.
Boom, boom, boom! Then the Ark began to shake, and it was attacked. Although it was a very primitive attack, it seemed to be the shaking caused by the boulder hitting the shell of the ship. The Saint Faction seemed to have no intention of stopping the attack. This boulder attack
A giant golem controlled by Grand Marshal Giles.
"Please stop the attack, French soldiers." Joan of Arc came over and shouted: "There is no point in continuing to fight, it will only expand the scale of the disaster. Please stop the attack immediately and evacuate from the Vatican."
After a while, the attack stopped. Joan of Arc's words were still influential. The people of the Joan of Arc came to save Joan of Arc. When they heard what Joan of Arc said, they had no reason not to retreat.
"The news that the Ark will explode is true." Even Knight Commander Isaac said: "I am Knight Commander Isaac of the first branch of the Pontifical Knights. After hearing this broadcast, all members of the church asked
Evacuate the Ark immediately. His Holiness Pope Eugene IV has...abandoned us."
From the several holographic image surveillance windows that popped up from the bridge, we could see that many church personnel were escaping from the cabin and beginning to evacuate the Ark. Isaac used his identity to guard this round, just to try his best to
to reduce casualties.
"People on the ship, you have twenty minutes left. In twenty minutes, the ship will take off again and fly to the Mediterranean Sea to disintegrate itself. Those who have not yet evacuated are asked to evacuate as soon as possible."
"Twenty minutes..." Arthur hummed. Considering the large number of people in the Ark, this time is indeed more reasonable. But can the power furnace last another twenty minutes----
--
"It seems that our duel has to be rescheduled." On the other side of the deck, Knight Captain Tonas of the third branch of the Pope Knights grinned. Although this strong and tough man was covered in blood and had many scars on his body, he still fought with him.
The shield gun giant behind him stood upright. After hearing the announcement, he stopped thinking about fighting Johnny Zuster and ran towards the edge of the deck.
"Ha, ha, ha... tough guy." Johnny wiped the blood from his forehead and turned around and shouted: "Joey, it's time to retreat!"
"Lord Aslan, what are they going to do?" Joey had just finished dealing with an enemy, and when he saw the priests on the deck starting to run away, he turned around and asked with relief.
"They will find a way to escape from here." said the young vampire hunter.
"Yo!" A big lizard--no--a baby dragon as big as a horse, carried the seriously injured Verne and ran towards the exit. As soon as he approached the exit, he shouted: "
Come up too!"
"Where is Lord Aslan?" Zuster and his son jumped on the back of the young dragon and asked nervously.
"With Mr. Patunas following them, they can escape." Xia Shuanglong Xiaoxing replied nonchalantly.
"...Where is the witch?" Johnny asked again.
"I don't know. It should be somewhere deeper. Anyway, I can't find anyone." Xiaoxing didn't even have any intention of going back to find Bayoletta. He was focused on escaping here and treating Verne's injuries. He ignored it.
The Zusters and their sons objected, and ran out of the edge of the deck in a long stride. They spread their wings and glided over a long distance, escaping far away.
And at the same time, somewhere inside the ark.
"Damn...damn..." The long sword pierced Cardinal Yafanlin's chest, and a dark red circle spread on the cardinal's robe: "A magician actually..."
.....Use a sword?"
"Who told you that magicians can't use melee weapons?" Bayoletta said coldly. The corpses of other mages were lying around, and they were all pierced by the spears controlled by the Maleficent. [Legion--
- Maleficent] completely abandoned her original attack mode and instead used high-speed and agile melee moves to catch her opponent off guard. Bayoletta also used a melee weapon to pierce the cardinal during the chaos in Yafanlin.
"You are simply...a disgrace to the magician...my sister..." Cardinal Yafanlin said while vomiting blood. He also knew that this sword had penetrated
It damaged his lungs and even cut half of his ventricle, which was an incurable and fatal injury.
"No, you who betrayed the Ivory Tower are the magician's shame." Bayoletta replied: "You are not even qualified to be killed by my magic, so just die by my sword."
She twisted the blade of the sword hard, tearing the opponent's wound, causing the bleeding to rapidly intensify. The protagonist in red, Yafanlin, fell to the ground and died.
"Damn it." The witch threw away the long sword, but the scene of King Arthur's battle kept reappearing in her mind. In fact, no matter whether she used magic to fight or relied on [legion] to fight, she had no chance of winning. She could win by surprise.
, entirely because she had witnessed King Arthur's fighting posture and imitated it.
Doesn't this prove that magicians can't defeat warriors? Then why does the world still need magic? Isn't it just enough to use swords and guns?
She smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Ouch!" Bedivere, the great white wolf riding on the warg golem, also arrived at this time and roared at Bayoletta. A group of Shadow Tribe people followed closely behind.
"Yes, we'll retreat now." The witch didn't show any politeness to Bedivere and jumped directly onto the back of Fenrir's golem.
"...It's calmed down." Looking at the retreating crowd in the bridge, Arthur hummed: "That's enough. Ada, let the ship take off again. Lift to normal combat
As soon as we reached the altitude, we began to move forward at a medium speed, and our destination was the uninhabited sea of the Mediterranean Sea!"
"Yes, temporary captain." The artificial intelligence of Skid Plattney's Ark replied. The ship began to move. There were still scattered church members on the deck who were hesitant to escape and found that the ship was shaking.
, and immediately ran away in panic. As a result, these guys had no willpower to defend the Ark until the last moment, and their own lives were the most important thing.
Because the defense system of the Ark came to a complete standstill, a black crow shadow also appeared in the bridge and rested on Arthur's shoulder. That was naturally Merlin. With Merlin by his side, Arthur felt relieved, because Merlin could
Let Arthur and his light souls evacuate this place at any time. Of course, he will only take this step in the worst case scenario. Arthur and his light souls evacuate this world, but the [prosthetic body] they borrowed will still stay.
.God knows whether the body of the blond boy that Arthur borrowed really had the original owner. Arthur and the others evacuated like this, but left the prosthetic bodies in a battleship that could explode at any time. Wouldn't it cost several lives?
?
"Mr. Patunas, can you please send everyone else in the bridge away?" Arthur asked again.
Starfall Dragon shrugged: "I don't care. But what about you?"
"I will stay on the bridge as the temporary captain until the last moment and give the order for the ship to self-destruct." Arthur said: "This is something only I can do."
"Lord Michael!" "Your Majesty!" "Lord Aslan!" When the others heard this, they naturally objected fiercely.
"It's okay. Even if the ship is going to disintegrate, it won't be blown to pieces immediately. It will only slowly sink into the sea." Arthur said: "I have enough time to escape from this ship that is about to be destroyed."
"But then you will be in the middle of the Mediterranean?"
"I will think of a way." The King of Knights said disapprovingly: "Don't worry about me. You can go first."
Everyone rode the dragon and flew away with doubtful expressions.
A shadow gradually emerged from the darkness of the bridge.
"Are you the mastermind behind all this?" Arthur asked calmly: "It's not an accident that the church found the abandoned Skid Plattney's Ark. It's not that the church abused the power of the Ark and almost caused a catastrophe.
By chance. So what are you going to do? Carry out a massacre in the Vatican? Do you really want more people to die?"
"Hufufufufu------" The man hiding in the shadows sneered and walked out, but his entire face was still hidden by the shadow of the hood: "He is indeed the King of Knights, so simple.
Have you seen through everything? It was originally a [blood sacrifice], a ceremony. Even the church didn't know that it would be a ceremony to summon the devil Satan. When 30,000 souls were burned in purgatory, it was supposed to be the arrival of the devil to the world.
moment. But you messed up everything, how should you compensate?"
Arthur turned around to face the man, with the Seraph Holy Sword in his hand already ready: "Before I kill you, please tell me your name."
"The Third True Ancestor, [Conspirator] Nate." The man took off his hood to reveal a bald head. The vampire True Ancestor appeared calmly in the sun: "Or you can call me ------ [Cardinal]
