Main Volume Chapter 191 Showdown
What Zhang Yun said was nothing but a big promise to Ajid. Zhang Yun had not yet thought about whether or not to "borrow" their power when fighting against the outer gods. Instead, she planned to make a decision based on the actual situation.
But in Ajid's eyes, this is a life-saving straw, the only chance for them to come back!
Regardless of whether Zhang Yun lied to them or not, Akito's defeat was already doomed, and it was only a matter of time before the Outer Gods defeated them and recaptured the capital of Alberia.
Even if Zhang Yun, the unexpected "hanger", did not exist, the coalition forces of several major countries and those inheritors who suddenly appeared could eradicate Ajid.
so!
They must believe what Zhang Yun says!
And prepare for it!
So, after some heated discussions, the ancient evil gods unanimously decided to cooperate with Zhang Yun to disperse those members who had never been exposed to all parts of the world.
Then, taking the "main members" who had been identified by the Shinsei Cult, they abandoned the various city branches and returned to the vicinity of the royal capital to guard the final base camp together.
after all.
They are not stupid.
Knowing that it is impossible to save the entire organization.
The exposed members of Ajith and the Ancient Evil God will be located by the newly descended Outer Gods wherever they go, and then hunted down by the Inheritors until they are all wiped out.
Therefore, concentrating the members who must die in the royal capital and reducing the damage to Alberian civilians in other places is the most cost-effective behavior in line with Zhang Yun's wishes.
Don't you want to see civilians die?
We have you covered!
Is this enough for you to release us from the ancient battlefield later?
Moreover, if the Ancient Evil God and Agito were scattered across various regions of Alberia, they would fight in batches.
Although Zhang Yun will definitely win, it will waste a lot of time.
However, if they were all gathered in the capital, Zhang Yun could rely on that terrifying female magician to advance all the way to surround the capital, and finally capture all the members of Agito in one fell swoop...
Such a big favor!
We sell to you because we trust you!
If you decide to side with humans and plan to fight against the outer gods in the future, then cooperate with us and we will definitely follow your arrangements!
How about it?
Is it sincere enough?
Are we qualified to be your allies?
In response to this, Zhang Yun said: It doesn't matter, anything is fine, as long as we can get the rewards for the legendary mission, we can talk about the rest later, wait until I finish mining, and then we'll see.
…
Without Ajid's obstruction, Lucina led the fleet into the port of Lant City, and then entered Lant City unimpeded and occupied the City Lord's Mansion. The process was as smooth as going to the small supermarket downstairs to buy a pack of instant noodles.
Then, the paladins summoned all the residents of Lant City and asked them to put down their work and wait in the big square.
The Holy Knight who commanded all the Paladins came to the square, took out the "loudspeaker" game prop that Zhang Yun lent him, and began to explain in a voice that could be heard throughout the square.
We are the God-born Order from the Holy City.
It is also a Paladin unit that is preparing to purge Alberia of some kind of monster.
There is also the new generation Queen of Alberia, who was recognized by the Holy Sword, baptized by the Pope, and blessed by the gods, the former Princess Lucina, who is also in this city.
But she is busy with official duties and cannot come out for the time being, so I will do it on her behalf and explain the current situation to everyone in Lant City.
Alberia is now ruled by monsters, especially the capital city which is the core of the country. It is full of monsters and cultists who have been seduced and corrupted by the monsters' evil magic.
The purpose of our coming here is to purify those monsters, take back your capital of Alberia, and support Her Majesty Lucina to ascend the throne.
So, your kingdom is about to undergo a dramatic change, and everyone present, young and old, male and female, must make a decision: are you willing to support the new queen?
If you are willing, please cooperate with us and conduct a strict identity check to prevent the possibility of hidden enemy spies!
If you are unwilling, we will take compulsory measures to first investigate your identity and then take action based on the results of the investigation.
If you are a normal human being, we understand your thoughts and know why you are unwilling to recognize the new queen, so we will not punish you, but will impose some restrictions, such as not being able to leave the city, etc.
If it's an enemy...I don't need to say more about the consequences, right?
good!
So!
Now please make your choice!
We in the Shensheng Sect will start investigating immediately!
After hearing this, most of the people in Lant City shouted loudly: "We are willing to support Her Majesty Lucina ! We offer our loyalty to her! We offer our lives for the future of Alberia!"
After all, it is the God-born Church that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the West. Any believer who believes in God can be regarded as a member of the God-born Church, so the civilians and soldiers of Lant City basically choose to become a member of the "Princess Alliance" without hesitation.
certainly.
There is no shortage of troublemakers in any era.
Not to mention Alberia, which attaches great importance to civilians.
Some of them shouted, "Get lost! How can a woman become our king? And the current king is not dead yet, and you are taking the throne directly. Isn't this a conspiracy to usurp the throne?"
Another opponent also echoed: "Yes! Yes! The current king is so good to us! What right do you have to declare yourself the new king?"
There are also atheists who sneer: "Oh, you guys who pretend to be gods, isn't it enough that you have deceived so many believers, and now you want to take over the entire kingdom?"
Faced with various doubts, the Holy Sky Knight did not panic or rush to explain, but just pointed his right hand to the sky.
“Look!”
“That’s God’s revelation!”
"Your Majesty Lucina is not only the sixteenth Queen of Alberia recognized by the gods themselves, but also the savior of the world, the new generation of Holy King!"
As it finished speaking, a white phoenix swooped down from the clouds, its huge body soaring in the sky, its white feathers swaying in the wind, and its cry resounding through the sky.
ah!?
White Phoenix! ?
The legendary beast from ancient times! ?
The eternal protector of our Kingdom of Alberia! ?
Suddenly, the crowd stopped questioning. They all knelt on the ground with pious eyes and prayed to the white phoenix soaring in the sky.
Even the atheists who had been mocking him just now, after seeing this legendary creature that had not appeared for thousands of years, dispelled all doubts in their minds, and crawled on the ground like lambs, not daring to act rashly.
There is no doubt that even the white phoenix has appeared. Lucina is definitely the true heir of Alberia!
Anyone who doubts is stupid!
It is recommended to drag him out and beat him!
"Sure enough, your white phoenix is more effective than anything else. When those people saw it, they were immediately impressed." Zhang Yun sat on the sofa, switching back from the perspective of the elf monitoring Lant City, and said leisurely.
Lucina was observing the art on the wall. Without turning her head, she said slowly, "Yes, it's normal. The White Phoenix is our guardian beast of Alberia. Compared with the Shinsei Cult and those gods, the people of Alberia believe in it more."
Zhang Yun asked, "Oh... According to the records of your kingdom, did the White Phoenix team up with the first generation of Holy Kings, just like you are now?"
Lucina nodded and said, "Yes, the rumor is that he made a contract with the White Phoenix to kill those ancient monsters that harmed humanity, and eventually founded the Kingdom of Alberia."
Zhang Yun propped up her chin with her hand: "Actually, it's the inheritor."
Lucina looked at him: "..."
Zhang Yun also looked at her: "..."
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yun touched his nose and said slowly: "Well, actually, I think the time is not right yet. It's not good for you to know now."
"But it's not a good idea to keep it a secret from you."
"If you want to know, you must be prepared. The truth of this world is very exciting, especially for you..."
Lucina blinked. "Is it related to Alberia?"
Zhang Yun shook her head and said, "No, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. It only has something to do with us, the inheritors, and it is particularly serious..."
Lucina sat on the sofa, straightened her face, and said seriously: "Then tell me! I'm mentally prepared! I can handle any situation!"
Zhang Yun pondered for a moment: "..."
"That's fine!"
"Anyway, defeating Akito is now a foregone conclusion!"
"I will tell you the truth of ancient times!"
Afterwards, Zhang Yun told Lucina everything that Edward and the Sea Goddess had said, and added her own analysis.
Starting from the very beginning of the ancient war, the rule of the ancient evil god, the birth of the inheritor, the backstab of the outer god, the arrangement of the goddess of the sea, the rise of Ajid, the hunt for Lucina, the change of plan of the goddess of the sea and so on.
He also told Lucina the reasons why the Ocean Goddess rebelled against other Outer Gods, which was actually because the two sides had different values and positions.
One side wants to consolidate its rule by suppressing the growth , while the other side feels that such suppression by the other side is against the rules and order and is equivalent to cheating, so it wants to stop the other side.
There are also various speculations about Zhang Yun.
First, the reason why Ajid hunted Lucina was because of the tacit consent of the Sea Goddess. If she had observed the world according to her duties, Alberia would not have been controlled by Ajid, and Lucina would not have had to flee in such a miserable way as she did before.
Second, Edward, the traitor in the Holy City, his rebellion was also arranged by the Ocean Goddess. It was all a plan arranged in advance to allow her to extricate herself.
Third, the Ocean Goddess sacrificed everyone, restored the Heart of the World to its place, and allowed the inheritors of this world to start a revolution to deal with those troublesome foreign gods.
And the fourth, fifth, and so on...
“…”
Hearing this, Lucina was neither surprised nor angry. She just remained silent, as calm as a lake.
Obviously he has experienced a lot and has become calm enough. Even when faced with such an unbelievable truth, he does not have any emotional fluctuations.
After a pause, she asked, "So, the Ocean Goddess changed her plan because of you, right?"
Zhang Yun admitted: "Yes."
He did not hide it, because based on his understanding of Lucina, her observation skills were off the charts and many things could not be hidden from her.
Although Lucina hadn't mentioned it, she must have discovered that something was wrong with her identity, and making up an excuse would be useless.
For example, in the beginning, Zhang Yun could use the secret techniques of her hometown to explain Brother Zun and Lily. However, when it came to Veronica, who had mastered the truth of magic, it was simply not something that could be explained by a single secret technique.
Can your secret technique break the space magic of the ancient evil god?
Can you kill the Lord of the Ancient Evil God?
Can it still be teleported?
Even launching a doomsday-like magical torrent?
To be honest, if Lucina hadn't come into contact with Zhang Yun from the very beginning, knew his initial strength, and relied on the upper volume of the ancient book to figure out the definition of the inheritor.
She will definitely think that Zhang Yun is also a member of the Outer Gods!
Otherwise, how could there be such a powerful force?
It doesn't make sense at all!
"Then your identity...can I ask?" Lucina was very curious about the secret that Zhang Yun had always kept silent about, but she did not force it. Instead, she asked in a pleading tone.
Zhang Yun asked back: "What did you guess?"
Lucina said bluntly, "At first I thought you were from another continent, a continent even farther away than Fantakinia, but after thinking about it carefully, if there were a country in another continent as powerful as you, I'm afraid they would have come to us long ago and occupied our country."
"so."
"I think you're from further away."
"Since there are ancient evil gods and foreign gods, it means that there is more than one world like ours. Foreign gods can come from there, and so can the tides of demon beasts and monsters..."
"It also means that you can also come from the outside world like the Outer Gods!"
really!
Lucina had already guessed it!
It’s worthy of her!
Faced with Lucina's accurate judgment, Zhang Yun was not very surprised. Instead, she felt it was somewhat natural, just like Lucina had already guessed that Zhang Yun was a time traveler, so she didn't feel particularly surprised.
After all, the two of them had been in contact for such a long time that they were already familiar with each other. Lucina could see that Zhang Yun was extraordinary, and Zhang Yun also knew that Lucina could guess many things based on her observations.
Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Look, you've already guessed it. Why should I tell you in detail?"
Lucina rolled her eyes. "Oh, stop talking nonsense. My guess may not be correct. If you don't admit it yourself, what if this is a wrong idea?"
Zhang Yun shrugged: "So, now that you know I'm from another world, you're not going to express any opinion?"
Lucina said expressionlessly, "I have no idea. There is nothing in my heart. I even want to play with the cat with Lily."
Suddenly, Lily, who was playing with Paladin Cat and Night Dragon, looked up in confusion: "?"
Seeing this, Zhang Yun gave Lily a look, telling her to continue playing by herself, and to bring Latonie along, and not to disturb the adults' important conversation.
Then.
Zhang Yun looked at Lucina.
"So!"
“Here comes the important question!”
"This war between the goddess of the sea and other outer gods will break out sooner or later. As the center of the storm, you and I must choose a side. What do you plan to do?"
"Are you helping the sea goddess who originally wanted to sacrifice your life?"
"Or should we help those outer gods to fight against the sea goddess Siren and seek revenge?"
"Or does no one care?"
