Chapter 654: 654
The distant port tonight was even more noisy than usual.
The aurora of the nuclear spear exploding into the sky shone in the atmosphere, and half of the planet could be seen when they looked up. The Star Dome Bridge, the remnants of the Behemoth, and the meteor shower of the Star Palace fragments could be clearly seen on the entire West Coast. The former only lasted for a few minutes, while the latter was a continuous meteor shower.
Even the people who had fallen asleep were woken up. From the people in Faraway Harbor City to the refugees from the Broken Islands who were temporarily settled, they looked at the shining light in the distance. They were all looking forward to it, and their hearts were uneasy.
Trust and suspicion intertwined, and peace and unease coexisted. This was human nature that should not be criticized. At least they were still here. At least they were terrified but still trusted.
They were just comforting each other, praying, and believing in each other.
They believed that even if something bad happened, His Highness Kant would still protect them.
Ordinary civilians had limited channels of information, so they could only encourage, comfort, and pray to each other. Meanwhile, those who knew the truth and had more responsibilities were on standby. Some of them were very busy tonight.
Envoys and messengers from all over the world, from the three major countries to the middle countries, from the powerful organizations and medium-sized countries, to the small powerful families and chambers of commerce, were all desperately trying to gather information. They were no longer gloating and laughing.
They had even thought that they were watching a joke.
All kinds of signs and intelligence indicated that the invincible Skyquaking Dragon had messed up the matter. A terrifying giant beast that had never been heard of or seen before had woken up from its slumber and crossed the sea.
Kant did not seem to be able to do anything about it.
Amazing.
After all, the people of Aurora had declared war on the Broken Islands and rescued the nobles and beggars like heroes. No matter what the reason was, the people with established interests were not happy with such behavior and attitude. No one wanted to have a sword called the Forbidden Spell hanging over their heads forever, even if it had not been unsheathed. And now, the people with established interests were faintly aware of one thing.
Kant did not seem to be sitting with them.
Therefore, the people of Aurora, who were in the limelight, were finally defeated. It was simply a great satisfaction.
However, this happy mood only lasted for less than a day.
They discussed fervently how this matter would end, which Supreme would the Skyquaking Dragon bow to in exchange for help, how much damage Goethe would suffer, and how much damage would the Skyquaking Dragon’s reputation suffer. They even wanted to secretly push for it.
Then, they all saw it.
It was not a report from a secret agent, nor was it an observation from advanced magical communication devices. Instead, it was the naked eye. In various parts of the continent thousands of miles away from the distant harbor, the rulers and the higher-ups saw the orange-red radiance flashing across the sky at the same time. It lasted for a long time, and it shocked every mage who had some achievements.
That was a phenomenon that could not be explained by any elementalism or astrology.
Combined with the abnormal behavior of the three emissaries in the distant port, they had an extremely terrifying guess.
“Mr. Hong…My father and my old boss came to ask me.”
” You know what they want to know,” Colonel Beck, the commander of the dynasty’s fleet, said with a bitter smile in the joint conference room.” Or rather, what His Majesty wants to know.”
Hong San looked around. In the room, even the officials and officers of the Distant Port Faction and Valentan Faction could not help but feel curious and uneasy, let alone the other ‘guest troops.’
In fact, Hong San did not know what had happened either. He was also feeling uneasy and panicked. He was not worried about the outcome of the battle, but worried about His Highness ‘safety. He saw the bright star falling from the sky and falling into the dark sea in the distance. According to the atmospheric mages’calculations, the landing point was near the Broken Islands.
He did not know what it was.
Perhaps it was the enemy’s reinforcements…
“Miss Lily, you…”He looked at the Dragoness who was sitting beside him.
There was no worry on Lily’s face, only curiosity. She looked at Hong San and shook her head.
The Dragon Clan didn’t know either?
Hong San sighed to himself, but he hid his worry well. His Highness was not around, so he was the highest person in charge of Distant Harbor. He had to maintain order and stability, and could not let anything go wrong in the rear.
Lily pursed her lips.
She knew, but she didn’t know what to say.
When he contacted the Dragon Emperor, Long Yao, the supreme ruler of the Dragon Island, only sent a message of confusion.
Translating the dragon language into the common language meant,” F * ck f * ck f
Although he did not know what had happened…
“Don’t worry.” She smiled gently.” Kant is fine.”
The two souls bound by the Dragon’s Oath could clearly sense each other’s state.
At this moment, Long Niang’s perception was…Kant’s soul was shining brightly. He was in good condition.
Hong San looked relieved and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, an elven warrior came in and whispered into Quillion’s ear.
The elf commander walked quickly to Hong San and lowered his voice.” There are nobles in the refugee camp causing trouble again. They want to leave as soon as possible.”
Hong San frowned, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He was about to give the order when the guard outside shouted,”Salute to you!”
A smile bloomed on Long Niang’s face as she stood up.
The door was pushed open, and a familiar voice greeted them.
Everyone in the room stood up with different expressions. They were only surprised for a moment, and then, an extremely sincere smile appeared on their faces-passionate, respectful, and docile.
” Welcome back, Your Highness.” Hong San took a deep breath and bowed.
Then, he stood up and smiled at each other.
“The battle went smoothly?”
“Return in triumph.”
Kant turned around and looked at every face in the room.
Valentan’s followers, the officials of the Far Harbor, the naval officers of the elves, the Empire, and the Council, and the spellcaster leader from Goethe…They were waiting for the final announcement.
” The enemy has been completely destroyed. The crisis at Faraway Harbor has been resolved. The Battle of the Broken Islands is over.”
Kant looked at the silent crowd and paused for a moment.” Let’s celebrate,” he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, cheers resounded throughout the room.
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, and regardless of how many doubts they had in their hearts, at least for now, everyone was cheering to their heart’s content in front of Kant. They were afraid that their cheers were not loud enough.
After cheering for a while, Kant reached out and pressed on the air. Soon, the room was silent.
Kant looked around.” Invite all the emissaries in,” he said.” It’ll save us some trouble.”
Hong San nodded and went out to give some instructions. Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard. The envoys from various countries and major powers entered uneasily. When they saw Kant, they lowered their heads respectfully.
Kant did not exchange pleasantries with them. Instead, he was issuing orders.
” The deep-sea behemoth was annihilated in the sea area about 600 kilometers away from Far Harbor. I will draw out a no-fly zone. For a certain period of time, no ships are allowed to pass through.”
“Yes.” Hong San nodded.
Everyone held their breaths and listened.
Kant continued,” Form a joint fleet consisting of Valentan’s troops, the distant port warship, and the Sunset Moon warship. Follow the established route to the outer perimeter of the Broken Islands and await further orders. Be prepared to station and patrol at any time. I left my spoils there. Some very interesting things…”
“Now that the Broken Islands and everything on the island are mine, there shouldn’t be any objections, right?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Hong San smiled.” It’s all yours, Your Highness. According to the rules of war in the continent, you have the right to the Broken Islands and everything on the island. I think all the countries will agree.”
This was not the power of diplomacy.
This was the diplomacy of power.
Kant nodded.” Quillon.”
“Your Highness,”the elven commander stepped forward and bowed.
Kant looked at the muscular elven general and said,” Give up your rank and position in the elven army. Swear a new oath of allegiance to me and Queen Derila. And take up an important position in the navy fleet that will be established directly under me. Are you willing?”
“You and the Queen?” Quillion was stunned.
“It means…” Kant explained.
“I understand now!”the elven general said in ecstasy. I’m willing!”
“..”She felt that he had misunderstood something.
Kant said,” As for the Pledge of Allegiance, we’ll talk about it when Derila arrives. I’m ordering you to gather your troops and head to the Broken Islands tomorrow morning. We’ll begin patrolling and setting up defenses as ordered. The Dragon Air Force will cooperate with you. The Valentan Guards and the Warriors of Destruction will listen to your command.”
“Kill all those who do not heed the warning.”
Everyone’s heart trembled.
“Yes!”The elf replied without hesitation.
“Hong San.”
“Yes.” The Skyquaking man bowed.
” Prepare to set up our own alchemy research center and research center. Invite scholars from the Broken Islands to settle in. We will cooperate fully with the dragons and elves, and invite and absorb magic scholars and alchemists from all over the world according to the situation…I have found many interesting trophies that require the analysis, research, and discovery of intelligent people from all over the world.”
“Yes!”Hong San replied.
The people who held their breaths and listened were all in different moods. They wanted to find out what had happened tonight, but no one dared to take the initiative to speak. They could only make guesses and connections based on Kant’s words.
It was obvious that the people of Aurora and the elves were completely in love.
Moreover, he had even colluded with the Dragon Clan.
Even… He did not mention Goethe.
“Finally…”
Kant stood up and looked at the myriad of expressions on their faces. He chuckled softly.” I want to speak to the people of Distant Harbor and the new members from the Broken Islands. I want to tell them the news of victory.”
He sat back at his desk and adjusted the microphone. He was about to summon Horus to connect to the broadcast system when Ah Fu stepped forward.
At this moment, people realized that this knight lady who suddenly appeared was very beautiful.
Ah Fu pressed the radar-shaped headdress beside her ear. A light flashed in her eyes and she smiled sweetly.” Father, let me do it. It’s done.”
Knight Astolford’s powerful information processing ability had been strengthened by the Fire Stealer’s power and the Paragon Element. Its electronic warfare ability was already extremely powerful.
In the blink of an eye, a sweet female voice rang out from the speakers, radio, and megaphones in Distant Harbor and even the new city.” Attention, please. His Highness Kant is about to give a broadcast speech.”
The sound that floated in the air above the city made people’s spirits rise.
When they saw the strange phenomenon in the sky and panicked, the voice from the broadcast was reassuring, especially the voice that they had never heard before.
Such a sweet and beautiful girl. She must be a very beautiful girl.
Crocodile Bar.
“Tex…Tex! Can you stop howling! His Highness Kant is about to speak!”
Boss Jim’s helpless voice sounded. The burly man lying on the table was still knocking his head on the table. Wuuu! It sank! My work points are like a broken ship sinking in the sea! That damned wheel!
Sob, sob! My radio! My radio!”
His entire body reeked of alcohol. It seemed that he had drunk a lot.
Jim sighed.” How much money did you lose in the casino? Why do you still dare to draw the roulette?”
In the high-class area of the refugee camp, Professor Shirley pushed the dazed Lysalyn awake.” Wake up, wake up. The Prince Kant of your wet dream is about to speak.”
“What? I didn’t dream about it!”
In the military camp in the distant port, under the dim light, the table was piled with melon seeds and beef cubes. The empty bowl of instant noodles that had even been drained of soup was placed aside. Han Guangcheng, Mei Xizhu, Eric, and the others surrounded the table and listened to the sound coming from the radio.
Soldiers kept approaching from behind.
The people from afar who had toiled for a day, the refugees from the Broken Islands who were in fear, the spies from various countries, and the soldiers who were dutiful to their duties, were waiting in front of the radio and under the broadcast speakers.
In the conference room, Kant was silent for a moment as he spoke into the microphone.
He felt relieved because the matter of the Broken Islands had finally come to an end.
But there was also nervousness…Because after tonight, many things would be different.
He raised his head and looked at Hong San. Hong San’s smile was as usual, and his eyes were filled with firm encouragement. Even now, this retainer did not know what had happened, but Kant knew that no matter what, Hong San would stand by his side and face all enemies with him.
Ah Fu’s smile was beautiful and brilliant.
On the way back, the new child had already reached an agreement with Horus. Afu would take over the distant port’s communication and broadcasting system and the future media system with strong information processing skills, excellent communication skills, and full of love (self-proclaimed). It would replace the cold voice of the Transformers and become an intelligent AI that could be used for both military and civilian purposes.
One could imagine that with Ah Fu’s pleasant voice and cute personality, she would definitely become the common memory and goddess in the hearts of several generations of people in Distant Harbor.
However, considering Schrodinger Dio under his skirt, Kant regarded this transition as the ” biggest and most desperate event in the history of Far Harbor.”
But… He was a good child.
Lily was rolling her eyes at her. She was probably very dissatisfied with the appearance of Ah Fu, but the joy and joy that came from the soul connection of the Dragon’s Oath was her real mood.
Marygis was wearing a cloak to hide her appearance, but her presence here was like the lonely days in the Saint Seal Islands. She would always have these magical animals by her side. Now that the Heavenly Star Palace was in danger of destruction, they would definitely fight alongside this generation of Fire Stealers…Just like before.
Dong Tianming bowed to him. The disciples and troops of this famous minister of Aurora were about to respond to the call and come to the distant port, and the route connection with Aurora would be reactivated.
The people in front of him and the people in the conference room came from different countries and races. The Battle of the Broken Islands had also proved that they could fight under the same flag. Not only the elite soldiers of various countries, but also the most ordinary people in Distant Harbor…Unity was not empty talk.
He could definitely do it.
The future is promising.
Because I’m here.
The Fire Stealer smiled and nodded at everyone.
He spoke into the microphone, to the distant port and the present, to the world and the future.
” I am Kant.”

P.S. 1: Not in a good state tonight…I wanted to finish it in one go, but after writing it for a while, I felt that something was wrong. It was very uncomfortable, so I deleted it. I’ll write the next paragraph tomorrow. It’s fine usually, but I think it’s better to pay attention to quality when it comes to this kind of closing, sublimation, and connecting the past and the present.
P.S. 2: You might not believe me, but I even went to watch the Iron Curtain speech for reference.
