Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Adjutant Myron knelt here.
He buried his head in the ground and did not move in the most humiliating manner.
It was as if he had become a frozen statue.
He forgot the passage of time.
Until the powerful footsteps approached and arrived in front of him.
!!
He slowly raised his head and saw a pair of steel combat boots. Looking up, in front of him, a human knight stood upright and looked down at him. There was no smugness on his face.
There was only curiosity and confusion.
The human in front of him said in the Elven language, “Elves, stand up.”
Myron’s lips trembled. He slowly moved his stiff body. He exerted strength with both hands and leaned on the white flag. He slowly straightened his knees and got up.
Cleveland did not reach out to help. He just watched.
Fight, charge, and run. Everything that happened tonight had a huge impact on Adjutant Myron’s body and mind. He was already extremely tired. His body was on the verge of collapse, and he had lost a large amount of strength. He was extremely mentally exhausted.
He supported himself with both hands on the flagpole and muttered, “I, Myron Eckles, have been ordered to submit an unconditional surrender to you on behalf of the Wayne Wings and beg to see your highest officer. I have important news to tell you. Humans, you can do whatever you want to me, but…”
Cleveland interrupted. “Why?”
Adjutant Myron looked at him blankly.
The knight said, “Why do you have to do this? Bow down and put down your dignity and arrogance. From my understanding of the elves, you would rather die than do such a thing. What drove you to do such a thing? What exactly happened? You can tell me everything.”
Adjutant Myron was stunned.
“I don’t know… what happened.”
His voice was empty, but at this moment, there was slowly a trace of liveliness.
“I’m only an ordinary adjutant of the Marine Corps. I served in the Royal Navy and assisted my commander. I made the wrong decision and handed the last chance of victory to you. I was determined to die and returned to the rift valley. I wanted to follow the footsteps of Sir Taize and captain, but I received their final order…”
“There’s a dead town and crazy beasts. The captain and the knight’s team were trapped and could not escape. Then they shot this arrow at me and ordered me to surrender to you…”
He slowly took out the scroll and handed it to Cleveland.
His voice was like sleep talking.
“Time is short. The brothers who followed me stayed there to stop the crazy beasts. Sir Taize did not have time to tell me any more information. He said that he wanted me to hand this to you and the humans and pray to the gods that someone among you can understand this.”
“He said that the seal of the gods back then had leaked a trace of it. There’s a small curtain crack in the rift valley. Not only do we have to think of a way to block this small crack, but we also have to announce to the entire continent and warn them that the danger has not gone far. Everything is in this scroll…”
“I don’t understand. I don’t know what happened. Really.”
“I only know that I messed everything up. If I had led everyone to find the captain and not take back the Wayne Wings, the situation might have been different…”
“I only know that the captain and the knight entrusted their last hope to me. They made a choice. They would rather surrender to the humans than embarrass the Royal Navy. They would rather abandon all their dignity and pride and sleep there forever. They would rather choose… to trust you.”
“We have to transmit this news.”
“I only know that they made this choice. In that case, since it’s the captain and Sir Taize’s decision, I’ll definitely obey. No matter what the price is, I have to complete their orders.”
He spoke faster and faster.
His gaze became excited and fanatical.
After experiencing several blows today, he was probably already on the verge of collapse. Adjutant Myron stuffed the scroll into the knight’s hand and muttered, “Do you understand what I mean, human? Sir said that the things in the rift valley have to be destroyed. They chose to trust you, so you have to trust them. Don’t be driven by greed and suspicion and make the wrong choice. Do you understand what I mean? Do you understand?”
He did not understand.
It was a little difficult to understand.
Without seeing it with his own eyes, he really could not understand it with just the elves’ random explanation.
However, warriors could understand each other.
The fanatical emotions of the elf were not fake. There were no lies or deception. As long as he was in pain and persistence, the knight stared at him and said calmly, “How?”
A glint flashed through Adjutant Myron’s eyes.
He grabbed the knight’s armor forcefully, “The Wayne Wings! The magic core of the Wayne Wings! Drive the Wayne Wings to the beach and transport the magic core of this main ship to the island. It’s the magic core of the main ship. In an unstable state, it’s enough to trigger a huge explosion and completely shatter that so-called curtain hole. That’s what the captain said! Master Rackles knows what to do. Let him do it!”
The knight was stunned.
Then, he smiled bitterly.
Master Rackles… To be called a master, he must be a powerful spellcaster.
He was the Grand Mage presiding over the Wayne Wings.
Unfortunately… he was already dead. He had died under Kang De’s bird.
Seeing his appearance, Myron’s vision darkened. He grabbed the knight’s shoulder and roared, “The master is dead? He doesn’t have any spellcasting ability here and is no threat to you. Isn’t a powerful spellcaster something you dream of capturing? What have you done?!”
“What should I do, what should I do, what should I do…”
He muttered to himself as if he was crazy, then his eyes lit up, “There are other spellcasters! There are other spellcasters! Let them see me and I’ll convince them! You have spellcasters on your ship, right? Hurry up! Bring the magic core up! Don’t you believe me?!”
Suddenly, the knight chopped at his neck.
The elf’s eyes rolled back and she fell softly into the knight’s arms.
Cleveland placed him on the ground and said softly, “Have a good rest.”
He turned around to see the captain and Kang De. They also landed on the island with the knight. However, for safety’s sake, they stayed far away to prevent the elves from plotting anything else.
He explained to Kang De and the captain, “What do you think?”
The captain frowned and said, “With all due respect, I’m still suspicious. It’s indeed reasonable for them to want to detonate that so-called rift valley with the magic core, but if that’s the case…”
In that case, the magic core would be completely useless.
The Wayne Wings was the main ship of the elves. It was the master of the elves’ shipbuilding techniques.
Not only was bringing this battleship back to the continent a supreme merit and honor, but it was also extremely strategically valuable. This meant that Goethe could analyze a large amount of information about the Elven Navy in reverse, especially the magic core. It was simply priceless… In fact, if he secretly traded it to the Empire…
After all, the goal of their trip was to seek help from the Empire.
The importance of the magic core was self-evident.
The elves’ communication suggestion was to use it to blow up the so-called “curtain hole”. Not to mention what that thing was, just from this motive, it seemed to be a conspiracy.
What if this was a conspiracy of the elves to use the Goethe people to destroy the magic core…
The captain said, “We have to consider this possibility.”
Cleveland looked at Kang De. “Kang De, you set up the bait trap in the rift valley. Have you seen these things the elves said?”
Kang De looked confused and a little afraid.
“No, after walking for a while, I sensed many terrifying things ahead. The animals did not let me continue forward, so I used the cut stone pieces to make a wall there and set up some traps and other arrangements. I wanted the elves to help me explore what was inside. I didn’t expect…”
His tone was complicated.
If what the elves said was true, he had no choice but to look at these sharp ears in a different light. When he discovered a huge danger, he displayed the responsibility he deserved and even lowered his head to his mortal enemy to send out precious information… As an observer, such an action could be said to be heroic.
He did not expect these elves to be quite manly.
Cleveland asked again, “What do you think we should do? Trust them?”
Kang De was surprised and said, “I don’t know anything about your side. I don’t know the elves or Goethe, so I don’t know.”
The knight smiled, “It’s like this. In this dangerous situation, we were originally going to be wiped out. It was all thanks to Kang De’s help. Not only did we turn the tables, but we also captured an elf main ship. According to the war rules of the Goethe people, this Wayne Wings should belong to you. In other words, you have the right to deal with this battleship. Even if we want to detonate the magic core, we have to obtain your approval…”
“…”
Kang De fell into deep thought.
Magic core sounded very impressive.
His current thoughts about magic items were—could he break them down? Could he extract them?
In particular, this magic core was known as the center of the battleship—if he used the fantasy elements of the white fog on Earth to enchant it, could he produce ship essence?
Therefore, he could not make up his mind for a moment.
There was really a black beast nest in the rift valley that had to be destroyed. However, he had to consider carefully if he wanted to use the precious magic core to destroy it. Kang De thought about it and wondered if he could create big news with the various resources around the district. He thought of a few ideas, but they did not seem to work.
He suddenly thought of something. “He gave you a scroll?”
“Yes.” The knight handed the scroll over with anticipation. “Can you understand it?”
Kang De took it and was stunned when he saw it.
He recognized these words.
However, he could not read them.
It was not the language of Earth.
That altar filled with light words… used this language.
He looked at it a few times but could not figure it out. He tried to extract the corners again, but it was still a huge and complicated elemental flow. In the end, he handed this thing back to Cleveland. “I don’t understand.”
Cleveland was a little disappointed. “Then I’ll show it to Her Highness later. The princess is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. She might be able to understand the words on it…”
Kang De also nodded. “Since we can’t make up our minds at the moment, let Tina take a look at this. In addition, we have to start making arrangements to guard that rift valley to prevent…”
At this moment, his shoulder sank.
He turned around and saw the kangaroo standing in front of him with a serious gaze.
The pigeon, the groundhog, the wolverine, and the gorilla were also looking at him.
Apart from the parrot… it stayed on the Wayne Wings in a mysterious manner.
When they were talking earlier, the animals had run to the side and were discussing something. Now, the kangaroo patted Kang De’s shoulder and turned to gesture at the Wayne Wings.
Kang De said, “We can do it? Is there a way?”
The kangaroo nodded twice in a row.
Kang De thought for a moment and nodded. “Then do it.”
Therefore, the pigeon was the first to flap its wings and fly toward the Wayne Wings, still holding the handheld camera.
The camera had been activated.
Cleveland and the captain did not react for a moment. Seeing the animals pushing a ship into the sea, the knight asked, “Wait… Kang De, what’s going on? Have you decided?”
“Ah, that’s right. After all, before this, they never suggested what I should do.”
Kang De also walked towards the ship. “Now, they say… we can board.”
