Chapter 1184
Chapter 1184
"Father, the war has ended." Despite being an abandoned child, Roland could still understand the current feelings of the emperor who was renowned as the conqueror.
Once, Leviathan Empire was only one step away from conquering the continent.
She also once believed that Leviathan Empire would dominate this era.
However, the turning point of fate always comes so suddenly.
The appearance of the forbidden spell of nuclear explosion.
The return of the Underground Cemetery.
And the war that decided the fate of the world.
The Leviathan Empire became the biggest loser, while the Underground Cemetery became the winner.
The choice made by the Sia Kingdom was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
What Ludwig XII hoped for, the final battle between the Guardian of Sia Kingdom and the Underground Cemetery, where the whole Sia Kingdom fought until their last drop of blood, and the situation of the Underground Cemetery's forces being greatly depleted didn't occur.
If the ruler of Sia Kingdom was still Ludwig XII's dear friend, the king who led the Royal Knight Corps and the Empire's first magic army legion into battle, perhaps he would really do it.
Ain, Adley's father, was the one who held onto the traditions and knightly honor of Sia Kingdom until the end, even if facing an unbeatable enemy, he would fight until the last breath.
This was what Ludwig XII expected, exactly this kind of outcome.
However, his former dear friend had already been killed by his own first magic army legion.
The new queen of Sia Kingdom, Ain, had a vision beyond the world and firmly believed that the magnificent silver dragon would bring about a whole new change.
She went beyond racial limitations and created a brand new group called the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order.
It was this unique Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order, consisting of multiple races, that made the decision.
United by a magical coincidence, they had a vision that went beyond the discrimination and prejudice widely seen among nations.
Since even companions of different races could accept each other, everyone was bathed in the glorious light of the mighty and sacred Silver Dragon. Naturally, they all had the same hopes for the future as the Silver Dragon.
Yun Xi felt there was no need to continue fighting, and they could sense Yun Xi's hope, so they made the same choice.
Ludwig XII's anticipation for a fierce battle between Sia Kingdom's Guardian and Underground Cemetery was completely shattered. The scenario where both sides would fight to the last drop of blood and the last bullet vanished.
Upon encountering the Passed Princess and the soul core of the War Dancer, Yun Xi realized that the King of Undead was not evil, and their goal seemed to be anything but destruction and world annihilation.
Therefore, there was no longer a need for a fight to the bitter end.
Kingdom's Shield discovered this and made the decisive decision to send out the Constellation God's Weapons. They successfully convinced Yun Xi, making Sia Kingdom the only exception in this world-conquering war.
This exception is based on the condition that Yun Xi defeated the black iron giant, Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, and Rift Space Dragon, and showcased his own strength.
On the other hand, Leviathan Empire's plan to profit from the chaos completely failed.
This made Ludwig XII unable to hate and unwilling to accept it.
"Now, return to the Empire, my daughter." Knowing the news of Roland advancing to hero-ranked, Ludwig XII regretted it a long time ago.
No one could have expected that in just over a month of joining the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order, Roland crossed the barrier from ordinary to hero-ranked.
In the current period of declining magical tide, the difficulty of becoming hero-ranked is unimaginable. The magically-infused plants that were common in the past divine era have become increasingly scarce, and even the medicinal potions provided by the royal family are decreasing.
Even for geniuses like Roland, the probability of becoming a hero-ranked knight is extremely slim. It can be said that it's like gambling luck, and that's why Ludwig XII gave up on her.
The princess who is not yet eighteen years old and is not a hero-ranked knight is destined to be a political pawn for marriage alliances, and can be discarded at any time.
Not everyone can be like the king and queen of Sia Kingdom, who are siblings and childhood sweethearts. They are simply a perfect match destined to feed others with their love.
He had many offspring, and even though he was young and strong, he had several lovers and illegitimate children outside. Some of them were just as talented as Roland, but since Ain needed Roland as a hostage, she had to give up on him.
That Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order thing, Ludwig XII was always seen as a joke from the beginning.
"Sorry, father, I have already joined the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order."
"Since that day, there's no going back," Roland shook his head.
She had understood long ago that she had been abandoned by her father.
The wise and mighty emperor, he didn't care about one of his daughters. All he had in his eyes was conquering the world.
Whether it was him or the Leviathan Empire, they had already become an unstoppable war machine.
If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of the Underground Cemetery, the Leviathan Empire would probably have started preparing to conquer the seas and other continents by now.
The Leviathan Empire, driven by its scientific governance, is so aggressive because of its unlimited demand for resources. It's an inevitable result.
The conquer-the-world plan made by Imperial Sage Poincar for Ludwig XII has proven to be truly effective.
His own father, who had long been obsessed and unable to detach himself from this plan, never once cared about his own growth.
For the great emperor, children were just carriers of the empire's inheritance. Ludwig XII, who is still youthful and powerful and will not abdicate the world stage for several decades, would never be willing to exit in this way.
Roland, who once thought this was only natural, no longer sees it that way.
Because, in the tall tower of the divine era, she encountered a presence even greater than her own father.
In her heart, the mad conquer-the-world plan of the Leviathan Empire is no longer the only thing.
Now she can be certain that the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order is the future of the world, and the hope of Sia.
Whether it's the Leviathan Empire or the Underground Cemetery, they cannot compare to the future Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order.
So, she wants to tell her father now, to give up.
"Father, please don't pursue that ambition anymore."
"The world is no longer the same as before."
This was Roland's final warning. She vaguely felt that something was off with her father. He had become more extreme and dangerous compared to her impression of him.
"Yes... the world has changed..."
"Some things... have also changed..."
Ludwig XII held his forehead and burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Black specks appeared silently in his eyes.
