Over the imperial capital, the air fortress Damocles is attracting the attention of the world.
The scene of the sword conferring during the audience has spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
At this moment when the empire was burning with the fire of rebellion, Lei Mingkai, who met the third princess Euphemia L.I. Brittania from a commoner background and lived together through life and death since then, rising to the pinnacle of power in the empire, was standing in the air.
The observation deck of Fortress Damocles overlooks the imperial capital below.
From the moment he took over the blade called the Sword of Victory from Euphemia, this aerial fortress built with Schneizel's lifelong efforts has become one of the representative names of the Knight King Remingkai.
Although, this is a bit sorry for Schneizel who created it.
But for Schneizel, it was already the best result.
Originally, the origin of the Sky Fortress Damocles was the product of Schneizel's determination to fight for the throne.
If Schneizel continues to hide and keep this huge aerial fortress now that Euphemia is firmly on the throne, even if this rebellion occurs, Euphemia will probably take it as a
A sacrifice to clear up the chaos within the empire.
After all, since the previous emperor, the most qualified and capable person in the Brittanian Empire to question Euphemia's throne is Schneizel, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the empire for a long time during the Charles era.
Already.
While thinking, familiar footsteps came from behind.
"Your Highness, Princess Shamna has woken up."
The person who came was Veretta Nu, whose status had been rising steadily with the addition of a knight's crown on Lei Mingkai's head.
"Really? Then, it's time to meet with Her Royal Highness, the princess who is about to bring us key information about this rebellion."
Lei Mingkai nodded slightly, and just when he was about to walk down the observation deck, he saw a long sword hanging on the bookcase in the room.
That is the exclusive sword of the new Knights of the Round Table.
It was also a sword forged by Imperial craftsmen under the orders of Euphemia and based on the Sword of Victory.
"Villetta, take that sword with you! Our fourth knight may be coming to report."
This is the fourth sword that Lei Mingkai is going to give away personally since he was given the sword.
In addition, there are three swords that have been given away.
The first is Qiligu Chubi, who took over the first position of the Knights of the Round Table in the Britannian Empire from Remingkai.
In Lei Mingkai's view, Qiligu was dubbed the strongest Knight of the Round Table, and his status was well deserved!
Moreover, in a sense, Lei Mingkai felt that he had wronged Qili Gu.
But when faced with the sword and status presented to him by Lei Mingkai himself, Qiligu's first reaction was not to take it, but to look at Lei Mingkai in confusion.
Because Lei Mingkai brought Qiligu, Fiana, and Titania back to the Britannia Empire, although their lives were turbulent, they were no longer subject to the "curse" against them in the original world.
It is said that it is a rare peaceful life in life.
Compared with Qili Gu's rare doubts, Fianna, who entered and exited the palace as the Queen's captain of bodyguards, and Titania, who served as the deputy chief instructor of the Knights of the Guards, were much more straightforward.
"Your Highness, Qili Gu may have been too focused on training the new recruits, so he didn't react for a while."
After receiving the swords symbolizing the second and third knights of the Round Table from Lei Mingkai, Fiana and Titania defended Qiligu in unison.
Seeing this scene, Lei Mingkai not only didn't care, but was actually happy to see it happen.
Qi Ligu, who was destined to live a lonely life as a lonely star in the sky, finally had his life's destiny changed.
certainly.
This topic is a bit far-fetched.
Right now, we still have to visit Princess Shamna in person, who has been transferred to the air fortress Damocles, and Shalio, who has been staying by her side, waiting for Shamna to wake up.
Leaving the upper section where the observation deck is located, along the corridor leading to the residential area, Remingkai and Veretta soon came to a garden that was deliberately separated and designed when this aerial fortress was built.
And around this garden, there are various living places designed independently with the former as the core.
There are areas where the mid-level and high-level commanders responsible for commanding this huge air fortress live, and there are also areas where they are responsible for entertaining distinguished guests.
Above these two areas is the independent residential area that governs this aerial fortress and is designed and built according to the living standards of the royal family of the Brittanian Empire.
"Alas. Veretta. What on earth were Schneizel thinking when he built this aerial fortress?"
Standing on the platform in the center of the garden, Viletta was speechless for a moment at Lei Mingkai's words.
Perhaps in her heart, she also had thoughts similar to Lei Mingkai's complaints, but due to her identity, Veretta did not dare to speak out.
Lei Mingkai didn't care much about this.
After all, even if Veretta follows him wholeheartedly, she cannot change the fact that her origin comes from the deep-rooted aristocratic class.
"Your Highness, you are here! Sister, she is already awake!"
No, before Lei Mingkai and the others walked into the residential area where Shamna was, Xia Liou took the initiative to greet them.
"Xia Liou, your body has recovered?"
Looking at Xia Liou who was happy with Shamna's awakening, Lei Mingkai nodded with satisfaction.
If the young leader of a country has not recovered, he may not be able to give him the sword of the fourth knight of the Round Table.
"Yes! Thanks to Your Majesty and Your Highness's concern, my injuries are no longer serious! Moreover, my sister has also woken up. Please come with me, Your Highness."
For some reason, Lei Mingkai always felt that Xia Liou's attitude seemed a little abnormal.
"Your Highness, Lord Charliot has seen the entire battle between you and the Knights of the Round Table."
Veretta, who was standing behind Lei Mingkai and holding her sword, reminded him softly in Lei Mingkai's ear.
Only then did Lei Mingkai suddenly realize.
It turns out that this kid Xia Liou has always been talking about defeating ZERO, the strongest person in the world, and proving that he is the strongest person in the world.
In today's world, ZERO has become a thing of the past.
Instead, it was Lei Mingkai, the imperial prince who single-handedly killed the Knights of the Round Table.
Thinking of this, Lei Mingkai couldn't help but smile.
This can be considered a trick of fate!
"Your Highness, I have heard everything. Thank you for your help!"
As soon as she saw Shamna, the princess with the power of death recollection opened her mouth to say thank you.
However, Lei Mingkai knew it very well.
"No! You're welcome. Princess Shamna. I already know the actual situation! Now, you should have guessed what I want to know."
Lei Mingkai signaled to Shamna not to be too polite.
Those things are not important to Lei Mingkai.
"Yes! Then, let's start reporting our findings to His Highness the Prince now!"
Shenmu Island.
No,
According to Shamna's description, it seemed closer to the Shengen Island in Lei Mingkai's memory.
When the exploration team led by the Shamna siblings went deep into the ruins, they were attacked by the cult.
Judging from the intensity of the attack, it was not the residual force that the Shamna siblings had guessed at all, but rather the powerful force that the cult had during its heyday.
That was not an army formed by ordinary people.
Instead, they are terrifying soldiers composed of modified humans with complete artificial GEASS.
Although their GEASS is not outstanding among the many GEASS levels, in face-to-face battles, it showed overwhelming power and easily killed the brave and skilled soldiers of Kyrgyzstan.
Until the last Kyrgyzstan soldier died in the battle, Shamna's sister and brother, who had been protected by them with their lives, finally escaped from the Shengen Island and started a battle in which Shamna continued to go crazy between life and death.
Looking back on the escape journey, he rushed to the vicinity of the imperial capital and was rescued by Lei Mingkai driving the flaming magic sword.
"Artificial GEASS?"
The information Shamna brought was unexpected, but also reasonable.
What Lei Mingkai didn't expect was that even after killing Charles in C's world, he and Euphemia had considered the risks posed by the cult and sent a team headed by the Shamna siblings to explore the ruins.
group, but still underestimated the heritage of the religious order hidden in the shadow of history.
"Actually, before Princess Shamna and you came to the imperial capital, I had already been assassinated by artificial GEASS holders. Of course, judging from the results, they did not pose a threat to me."
After Lei Mingkai made an estimate in his mind, he immediately raised his hand and signaled Veretta to bring up the sword.
As soon as she saw the sword that Veretta gave to Remingkai, Shamna already understood what Remingkai meant.
"Xia Liou. Kneel down!"
Although Xia Liou was confused, but out of his trust in Shamna, he decisively knelt down to Remingkai.
"Qiang!"
As the sword roared, the cold and piercing sword blades slapped past Shalio's two swords and the back of his neck.
"Xia Liou, I won't talk about those messy nonsense! But from now on, you are the new Knight of the Round Table of the Britannia Empire, the fourth knight. From now on, this sword belongs to you.
!”
During the long sound of the sword, Shalio, who was kneeling in front of Lei Mingkai, instinctively grabbed the hilt of the sword that Lei Mingkai handed to him.
Looking at her brother who had not reacted for a while, Shamna sighed secretly, then stood up and knelt next to Xia Liou.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to bear with me, my foolish brother!"
"Princess Shamna, you are serious! Judging from Shalio's previous performance, it is enough to prove that he is qualified to become a member of the Empire's new Knights of the Round Table."
After a pause, Lei Mingkai sighed helplessly.
"It is a pity that the new Knights of the Round Table that I was ordered to rebuild were unable to welcome all the new members when they joined."
Shamna was shocked and seemed to notice something.
"Your Highness, you mean?!"
Lei Mingkai nodded and laughed loudly:
"Yes! That's right! Princess Shamna, you guessed it right! In addition to the second knight staying in the imperial capital to protect Her Majesty the Queen, the first knight Qiligu Chubi and the third knight Titania have already led a group of troops respectively.
A detachment of the Royal Guards Knights has set off."
"What about me?"
Shallio finally reacted to the surprise of being given the Fourth Knight, his eyes shining with desire, and he looked at Lei Mingkai, expecting Lei Mingkai to give the order to let him, the freshly minted Fourth Knight, lead the Royal Guards Knights.
Go to war.
"Fourth Knight, you come with me to Hadrian's Fortress to meet the rebels!"
