Chapter 1806 - 164: Pre-Battle Showdown 3

"It’s time, everyone..."

Elizabeth spoke softly, while outside, the bombardment of twelve demigod-level Chaos Species continued, trying to shatter everything beyond the Gap with coordinated attacks.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The illusory sounds of bombardment, as if they meant to shatter the entire sky, reverberated through the universe like some kind of war drum.

In the city of Saint Nali, Trandell, who stayed in Martha’s rented apartment, was pale as he looked at the sky outside, his hands trembling against the window,

"Insane... insane... the sky outside is black, what in the world is happening?"

Behind him, Martha sat in a wheelchair with a radio in her arms, her wrinkled face watching the burning fireplace. After the snowflake-like noise, Dianne’s voice slowly emerged from within,

"Citizens of Saint Nali, all Nali people who possess the golden bloodline, I am Dianne, an inner court officer of the Golden Palace, and on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, I am here to announce the following, concerning your safety and Nali’s future. Please listen carefully and pass the contents to relatives and friends who were unable to hear..."

The wildness of Queen Elizabeth was conveyed to her citizens at this moment. Behind him, Trandell’s face grew even paler, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

When he heard that Queen Elizabeth decided to erase everything except Nali, he was utterly shocked,

"That’s... that’s impossible... isn’t it? So what, women from other nations won’t be seen in the future?"

"..."

The aged Lady Martha turned expressionlessly to look at the young, hot-blooded Nali gentleman, unsure of what to say, only having Fisher Benavides, still in exile overseas, on her mind.

She was an old woman and could not understand much of the policies or the orders from above — just thought that Fisher might return safely if he could come back.

Trandell was quite the opposite, not one for blind worship of Elizabeth. Originally part of the New Party, born against the background of the exploration company, their motto being policies that profited were good policies, even if detrimental to the country.

That’s also why Keken and Fisher, graduates from the Griffin Party stronghold, the Royal College, often mocked, "The council can’t even put together a whole brain."

But whether they have brains wasn’t their decision, it was about where their allegiances lay.

So at this moment, the first thought Trandell had was Elizabeth had gone mad to dare such a thing.

What frightened him even more was, as Dianne’s speech from the radio spread through Saint Nali’s thousands of households, the outside remained deathly silent, as if unaware of the news, all quietly stayed at home, following the Empress’s morning command.

"Insane... everyone’s gone insane... the entire Nali is insane!"

Trandell, a Nali Member of Parliament who had received several salary increases, thought so.

...

...

At this moment, under the efficient command of Valentina and the clan leaders, the army ready to depart for Nali from the Wutong Tree had been fully counted. The main combatants were the Grey Bird Species and Troll Species, while the Slime Snow Fox Species handled logistics and real-time coordination, needn’t be mentioned. Let’s talk about the noteworthy "acquaintances" heading to Saint Nali.

Over at the Wutong Tree were Valentina, the elder of the Troll Species Dalilulu, Alagina responsible for tuning the Cardinals, along with Isabella and Ossie.

Originally, Pahetz was also set to go, but considering the number of people being transported and her condition, she stayed behind with Old Jack.

That was approximately the situation on the Saint Nali front, but as for the situation in the other main "battlefield" in the Gap...

"Stupid trivialities! Trivial! Trivial!!"

At this moment, Valentina, having put on her Phoenix Armor, held a delicate little child with black hair and long ears in her arms, who gritted her teeth at the Nali gentleman standing with arms crossed, dressed in a pink robe, her hair styled in a Flying Immortal Bun with a peach blossom pinned behind, speaking in a babyish yet fiery manner, fitting her explosive personality.

It was indeed the elder sister of the Elves, Master Tao.

"And you believed him, releasing Chaos... should’ve known, this foolish trivial has a messed-up head from flirting too much, and you, Valentina?! After being around me for months, still headless, you believe whatever this dead fish trivial husband of yours says? Don’t you have any opinions of your own?!"

Valentina sighed helplessly, puffing her cheeks and pinching the babyish face of the Master Tao in her arms in annoyance, since she learned about Fisher’s plan, she’s been like this, obviously very dissatisfied with Fisher’s idea.

Fisher looked at the version of Master Tao, even smaller than before, with a complex expression.

Millennia ago, her disguised appearance was roughly six or seven years old, now even smaller, only four or five, just a little bean, a little child appearance barely knowing how to speak.

"Master Tao, have you gotten even smaller than before?"

"What? I’ve already said I’m not fully recovered! That’s why I say now is the best time to kill me and prevent Chaos, otherwise, during my prime, could you even kill a fart of me, trivial? Did you forget how I chased you down millennia ago?"
