Chapter 1626: Chapter 866: Eternal Spear! Falling from the Heavens! (5)
At that time, a missile will create a pit over a hundred meters deep outside Base 5, obliterating nearby trees, life, and buildings.
The Aerial Fortress will malfunction and crash, and the floating airships will be flipped by the shockwave.
The Duke of Storm City is there, he cannot survive.
So the commander doesn’t understand why the Duke of Storm City would calmly say, "Go ahead."
Aren’t you, Duke of Storm City, afraid of death?
The Duke of Storm City glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
The King pondered for two seconds, then calmly said, "Launch."
Obeying orders is a soldier’s duty; this commander is the King’s confidant. He has no stance or reason to refuse to launch, even if the King himself were there, he would act the same.
The King and the commander turned their keys simultaneously, with the King pressing the red button.
At this moment, the ignition sequence in the launch silo was initiated, and abundant flames erupted from the bottom of the Eternal Spear missile as it completely detached from the abyss beneath the silo, accelerating towards the sky until it flew into the atmosphere, becoming invisible to the naked eye.
In the holographic projection, the King looked at the Duke of Storm City: "The rest is up to you."
The Duke of Storm City was silent for two seconds: "Okay, Father."
King: "I grant you the qualification to restore the Roosevelt surname. From today, you can return."
The commander was in complete shock; he never imagined the Duke of Storm City was actually the King’s son?
Before he could react, the communication channel of the holographic projection was closed, leaving him speechless in the command center.
Wait, the commander suddenly thought of something.
He doesn’t know how the Duke of Storm City would escape the center of the explosion, but the opposite party should have a way to survive.
Moreover, since the Duke of Storm City has paid such a hefty price to return to the Royal Family, his ambition is no longer just the title of Duke...
In the Giant King Court, the Giant Prophet who was originally sitting cross-legged in the Taboo Forest suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the distance, worried.
...
...
Inside the Storm Fortress.
The Duke of Storm City turned around and left the command room, calmly walking towards the dark room where the AI was imprisoned.
He opened the gate and walked in. The middle-aged woman was still feeding fish as if she was unaware of the events outside.
The woman smiled and said, "Is the show finished, is it about to conclude?"
"Hmm," the Duke of Storm City was extraordinarily calm.
The woman smiled and asked, "How does it feel to become part of the Royal Family?"
"You seem to know everything outside even though you’re imprisoned," the Duke of Storm City said.
"Because it’s you who let me see it, isn’t it?" the woman smiled and said, "32 years ago, before the female giant was sent to Storm City, the young and clever King Roosevelt seemed to have seen some kind of future, so he secretly boarded a Drama Master’s airship to reach the battlefield, and then violated her. The next day, the Duke of Storm City took the female giant away. The poor old Duke was kept in the dark, thinking he was executing a ground-breaking plan, believing his son could be born amidst the chaos between humans and giants, and acquire the opportunity to unify everything. But what he didn’t expect was, the Drama Master’s foresight of the future would be used in this manner, so you are the King’s son; the old Duke knew nothing about it. Oh, my poor old Duke."
The woman in the holographic projection continued: "The King found you before you came of age and promised you the future throne, just like when he promised you he would help you obtain the title of Duke of Storm City. That night, you stormed into the Storm Group Army base, thinking you needed to convince the army generals, but found out the King had already arranged everything for you. You wholeheartedly accepted this father, and then he started a spectacular plan with you... exchanging an unprecedented credential for a chance to annihilate the Giant Dynasty. The King already felt threatened by the Giant Dynasty; he once told me he saw a future. In that future, giants stood at the gate of Roosevelt’s palace, holding human heads in their hands. Blood flowed on the ground, and the palace was collapsing in that future."
"This future made him sleepless, luckily... there is a precedent of modifying the future seen by the Drama Master, so he decided to give it a try. Hence, the current plan was born, using your special bloodline to gain the trust of the Giant Dynasty... Of course, they couldn’t completely trust you, so you needed an unprecedented credential."
"All these years, I watched as you placed one after another scrapped airship in Base 5; I watched you modify the codes using cannon fodder slaves to tuck them into Base 5 under the name of Black Water City Corps and Phoenix City Group Army; I watched you secretly let the cannon fodder Slave Army enter the Storm. I watched as that Slave Army clumsily distributed resources, moved munitions, pitiful thinking they finally didn’t have to be cannon fodder."
This caused the soldiers at Base 5 to be flustered, many of whom had never even been exposed to such work.
This was the reason the Black Water City Corps collapsed at the first touch, many retired airships even had their missile launch silos damaged.
This was also why the Phoenix Air Fortress suddenly disappeared—because it was an active air fortress, and the King didn’t want to suffer such a loss.
