Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

The bombardment of city defense artillery fell.

It was an attack that could defeat all defenses. It was high temperature, high pressure, simple but extremely powerful. It far exceeded the destructive power that a single individual could cause, and it struck the entire factory area in an indiscriminate manner.

That was the last dignity prepared for soldiers who were doomed to fail...or a moment of kindness for prisoners trapped in prison.

Sometimes, disappearing into ashes without pain is actually a kind of relief compared to a hopeless future, maybe

"Woo……"

Amiya looked at the ruins of the factory not far away and made a reluctant sound.

The information came too hastily, and it was obvious that the shape-shifters did it deliberately. Although a group of elite operators and self-rescue troops had withdrawn from the bombardment range of the city defense artillery, nearly 40% of the innocent people imprisoned here were still missing. Can successfully escape from this hell.

Under the sea of ​​​​purgatory fire in front of us, there are destined to be no survivors... and even the integrity of the bones cannot be guaranteed. The only thing to be thankful for is that the city defense cannon is probably powerful enough to save the people trapped here from suffering.

"Miss Amiya...there is no need for this."

Although he was saddened by the death of Old Bill, and a large number of self-rescue army prisoners died in the artillery fire, Feist finally chose to give priority to comforting the young leader of Rhode Island in front of him.

After all...if it weren't for Rhodes Despite the efforts of the island team, they couldn't even get here, let alone raid the entire factory and rescue a large number of citizens and prisoners.

"Being able to achieve this step is already outstanding... What is important right now is not to mourn the dead, but to return to our assembly point as soon as possible... I think this is also the last hope of many people who died here."

Feist's words were unpleasant and even difficult.

During the evacuation, many people who were injured and unable to move voluntarily chose to stay, rather than dragging down those who could still move freely.

They would suffer some or all injuries. The few items left behind are given to the companions who can escape, hoping that these last sustenances can convey the remaining wishes, even though they themselves know that no one will receive these relics.

They are urging the living to evacuate ——Human nature is such a wonderful thing. Sometimes they will become extremely ugly in order to survive by any means, and sometimes they will choose to be extremely noble because of inevitable death.

"——Well, you're right. Amiya , who had come back to her senses, nodded in response to Fester:"The city defense army will arrive in about twenty minutes. We must evacuate... If we are fast enough, we should be able to escape before being intercepted." Before returning to Sadien District"

"——And a lot of people here need treatment, and we may not be able to move fast."

The person who intervened in the conversation was Heidi, who was rescued by Amiya and her group. She was Kelsey's old acquaintance and Rhode Island's important informant in Londinium.

"As much as I hate to say it, during the evacuation we also had to be prepared for a quick reaction force surprise attack."

"——Quick reaction force?"

Amiya's eyes froze. This was indeed a brand new piece of information. Rhode Island had never encountered the so-called quick reaction force before, and the force that could be paid attention to by Heidi, an important informant, obviously could not be treated with common sense

"Haven't you encountered it?"

This time, even Heidi showed a slightly surprised look:"It shouldn't be... This army should be regarded as one of the trump cards in the hands of the regent. It moves extremely quickly. The reason why several operations of the Self-Rescue Army failed or It was a setback, all because your quick reaction force joined the battle midway and defeated our men."

(Quick Reaction Force...)

Chewing these six words carefully, and mentally assessing the danger this Tracy's"ace force" poses to the entire action team, the young Rhodes Island leader looked towards the sea. Di, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes

"——I need more information on this unit, Miss Undersea."

But the latter smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"There is almost no special information. The combat effectiveness of this unit is too strong... Our people can be defeated every time they come into contact. We don't seem to have the ability to induce the other party to show their true strength."

"Not to mention detailed information, we have never even seen the commander of that unit. We only know that the other party is dressed in a gray robe that covers the whole body, and there is a black metal armor inside the robe."

"Well……"

Amiya pondered for a moment, and suddenly for a moment, she felt something was wrong.

His own thinking seemed to be"invaded" by something, and the other party's purpose was to"awaken" something.

（——?! )

The Carters girl felt as if her mind was being stirred by some chaotic thoughts. Her legs softened and she fell into Heidi's arms amidst her screams.

"……Miss Amiya?!"

————Dividing line————

Broken, burning, and exuding the stench of burnt corpses.

The regent of Sarkaz strode into this purgatory where the flames had not yet been extinguished, and saw the shapeshifter standing alone in the center.、

"……The devil is not here."

The shapeshifter raised his head and smiled calmly as if he had just noticed Tracy.

"That Carters left very quickly. After all, I was the one who revealed the information about the city defense artillery bombardment to her.

Tracy nodded.

It was part of the plan to force the successor of Rhodes Island away, and the Demon King, who was carrying a burden, would be easily chased.

The regent closed his eyes, carefully felt the intermittent information in his mind, and then opened his eyes

"——She can't run away anymore"

"Let's go and witness... the end of everything."
