The pigeon flew the fastest and arrived at the Wayne Wings first.

It found the parrot and showed it the handheld camera.

The small screen clearly replayed everything recorded.

The kneeling elf muttered to himself and told the story. He gave up all his pride and dignity and wanted to send a message, a final plea.

The dazzling light reflected in the parrot’s eyes.

The parrot stood in silence and stared.

It looked very serious.

It was strange to use the word serious on a bird, but at this moment, this cheerful and talkative animal was indeed solemn and silent, silently looking at all the information coming from the screen.

The pigeon stood beside it and suddenly stretched out its wings to pat the parrot’s body.

The parrot whispered, “Don’t touch me.”

When Kang De and the animals crossed the sea, the parrot did not say a word and flapped its wings to fly up.

He turned to the lower cabin.

Kang De and the others followed and arrived at the central cabin of the magic core.

This was one of the most important strategic locations of the Wayne Wings. Around this place, the elves and humans began a bloody battle. The elves who had no hope of winning wanted to detonate the core and destroy the Wayne Wings, but they were stopped by the parrot who was long prepared. Now, this place was heavily guarded by the Goethe people.

Seeing that someone was coming, the six Goethe people guarding the cabin looked over warily. Seeing that it was Kang De and his circus, they heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they had already fought side by side.

Someone came forward. “Mr. Kang De, you…”

Kang De said, “We want…”

Before he could finish speaking, the animals had already attacked. How could they care about these humans? The parrot knocked open the door, and the kangaroo and gorilla pushed away the surrounding Goethe people. The animals ran in.

Kang De looked from afar and saw the parrot flying around the floating ball. A moment later, a light flashed and the magic core landed. It was steadily caught by the gorilla. This core had a shell made of hollow metal and a ball of light that continuously spun inside, emitting shocking power.

The gorilla carried the magic core and walked out.

“Wait!”

The Goethe people beside him immediately shouted. No matter how ignorant they were, they would not allow Kang De and the others to take away the magic core like this. This was the most valuable thing on the entire ship.

Two people immediately blocked the path.

The wind stirred. The parrot landed on the magic core and shouted sternly, “Get lost!”

It was clearly a parrot, but this time, its pronunciation was like shattering gold and rocks. The boiling killing intent surged like a tide and instantly swept through this small passageway.

The few Goethe people present could be said to be elites. When they heard this, they could not help but retreat.

One of them was still considered smart. He turned to Kang De, “…Mr. Kang De, although it was your pet who ended the elves’ attempt to detonate the magic core, before it arrived, our people paid the price of blood to delay the elves’ actions. Even if it’s for their sacrifice and hard work, I can’t let you take this away unless there’s an order from Her Highness or the captain. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

At this moment, the knight’s voice sounded from the corridor, “Don’t stop him. This is an order.”

The Goethe man immediately stepped aside. It was unknown if he was obeying or afraid.

To be honest, those animals who had shone in the battle to seize the ship made them feel surprised and cold. They were clearly animals who could not speak and did not look like powerful magical beasts, but when they fought, they slaughtered coldly and mercilessly. They were even more terrifying than battle maniacs who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

They were clearly allies, but it already made their hearts turn cold, let alone standing opposite each other…

Without a word, the animals continued forward. Kang De followed at the back and nodded at the Goethe people. He walked forward and passed by the knight. He said, “Thank you.”

The knight shook his head and said, “There’s no need… It’s just that your animal companions can be more gentle next time.”

Kang De laughed, “I can’t control them. In the end, I’m only friends with them and can’t even be considered a feeder. If they really want to do something, how can I control them?”

The knight recalled the previous kidnapping and smiled bitterly.

He then asked, “Are they going to detonate the magic core? In other words, they understand what we’re saying? Why are they so active?”

Kang De shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I really don’t know.”

At this moment, the animals jumped back into the small boat. The gorilla called him from the side.

Kang De said, “I’m leaving.”

The knight nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll bring people to follow later.”

Kang De quickly walked to the side of the ship and jumped down as the gorilla below stretched out its arms and gently caught him. The small boat was stable and did not sway. The magic core was placed at the bow.

He rowed towards the shore.

The captain came to the knight’s side and stared at this small ship. “Are you really not going to stop him? This is a pity.”

After all, it was the magic core of the main ship. The various races of the continent must have dreamed of it.

Cleveland replied, “My opinion is the same as Kang De’s. If these animals really want to do something, we have to let them do it. Don’t stop them.”

The captain frowned and said, “Why?”

The knight sighed, “After all, you didn’t see the entire process…”

In the battle for the ship, although the kangaroo had also displayed its archery skills, because of the different battlefields, the divine shooting technique of the elf team in the dense forest did not appear again.

However, the knight saw it clearly from the beginning to the end.

If the kangaroo had such a technique, then the other animals most likely had their own strengths.

He recalled the time when Kang De accepted the ritual and fainted. These animals had brought him to that mysterious altar. Although he did not see it with his own eyes, he remembered the princess’s shocked and even terrified expression.

What these animals wanted to do… he would let them do it.

Therefore, Cleveland said, “Let’s go together. If what that elf adjutant said is true, if these animals really want to detonate the magic core, Captain, we’ll personally witness the progress of history.”

Yes, he had this premonition.

The news that could make the elves risk their lives was most likely true.

The captain put the pipe in his mouth. “Okay, whatever you say.”

On this side, they had to choose people and arrange defense. By the time the knight and the captain rushed to the rift valley with the team, there was already a towering fire. Kang De and his animal friends were waiting outside.

There were many strange animals here. There was a huge wild boar, a serval lying on a tree, and a hidden fox with an annoying expression… Some Goethe people knew them, some felt that they were familiar, and some did not.

After all, there were so many animals in the world and all kinds of subspecies.

They were either far or close to Kang De. Perhaps it was because of their relationship or personality.

The magic core was still in the gorilla’s arms.

The knight quickly approached. He frowned and said, “Why is it burning down there?”

“My friends did it.”

Kang De pointed at some large birds circling in the sky. “Because the elves sent me information, I asked them to monitor the rift valley. If things go wrong, throw the oil barrel down…”

Some things could not be said in detail. He had prepared these oil barrels in advance.

After all, after seizing the Wayne Wings, the greatest threat came from the elves exploring the rift valley. If they did not encounter any danger inside and had to come out to take back the battleship, Kang De would let these elves understand the power of destruction.

Now, the elves had displayed their manly responsibility and courage. A large number of extremely crazy black beasts rushed out. Under the lead of Second Senior Brother, the animal friends of the North Island killed these black beasts. However, there was an endless number and they could not kill them all. The bird meat bombers in the sky threw down incendiary bombs and lit a raging fire in the rift valley, isolating and dispersing the black beasts that were afraid of fire.

After Kang De found out about the situation, he was relatively angry.

—At the very least, you should kill more of them. You lazy b*stards, what a good opportunity. Block the door and farm black beasts and endless crystals. If you don’t want them, you can give them to me. I have so many good things here.

Now…

Kang De looked at the raging flames in the rift valley with a dumbfounded expression.

If he wanted to transport the magic core in and detonate it, who would go?

He would not go.

What a joke.

The knight pondered for a moment and said, “Kang De, please lend me the Fire Chaser Round Shield.”

Kang De looked at him. “Do you want to go? This is very dangerous.”

Cleveland shook his head. “These sharp ears have already displayed their courage and responsibility. The Goethe people are definitely not weaker than the elves. Do these animal friends of yours have a way to activate the magic core?”

At this moment, a weak and firm voice sounded from behind, “Let me go.”

Everyone turned around. It was the elf who had come with Cleveland, Adjutant Myron.

He said in a low voice, “Let me go. I’ve committed a huge crime and abandoned my honor. I’m already no different from a walking corpse. Let me do this and wash away the humiliation with death and regain my honor with sacrifice.”

The elf walked towards the gorilla, or rather, the magic core in the gorilla’s hand.

His footsteps became firm, and an inexplicable light flashed in his empty eyes.

Perhaps it was only the reflection of the light of the magic core.

Everyone looked at him quietly, including Knight Cleveland.

At this moment, the parrot landed on the ball and stared at the elf in front of it.

The elf looked up. Although he did not know what this parrot meant, the pride of the Nature Child filled him with courage and determination, causing him to meet its gaze calmly.

When death and humiliation were not enough, what was there to be afraid of?

Suddenly, the parrot flapped its wings.

This bird grabbed the hollow shell of the magic core with its claws and raised this especially huge ball. It flapped its wings and rushed into the burning rift valley.

Kang De was shocked. “Hey!”

He hurriedly ran towards the rift valley and saw that the whistling flames had actually separated in the air, avoiding the parrot’s body and forming an invisible domain that isolated the flames.

He was still worried, but the kangaroo stretched out its claws to stop it.

Kang De turned around. The pigeons and the others gestured for him not to worry. In the distance, be it Second Senior Brother, the serval, the fox, or the wild rabbit… These magical animals from the North Island all straightened up and looked at the figure of the parrot that rushed into the flames in a daze.

There was no worry, only reminiscence and silence.

In the silent town.

Almost all the elves who entered this place had died, leaving only a few with the strongest combat strength. A huge number of black beasts surrounded them. They were exhausted and death was right in front of them.

Sir Taize stood back to back with the captain, holding his sword and panting softly.

“Captain, it’s good to work with you.”

“Kid from the countryside… I feel the same.”

“I’m clearly a noble too.”

“Not all nobles are the same, country bumpkin. You only got a ticket.”

They chatted and teased casually.

This was the last time anyway.

“Captain.”

“Yes?”

“I’ve never prayed that humans can have high morals and integrity like now.”

“I’m the same, but we can only do this much. If destruction eventually comes, the gods will be able to distinguish right from wrong and know that it’s the ugliness and sorrow of humans that caused the destruction of the world, not our responsibility.”

“Yes, that’s enough.”

“Yes, it’s enough. We’ve fulfilled our duty and can sleep soundly today. Sir, in the eternal dream, we’ll definitely obtain the praise of the goddess.”

Sir Taize smiled when he heard this. “I’m looking forward to all of this…”

Then, they saw light.

The exit that was beyond their reach shone with a light that could not be looked at directly.

The black beasts roared uneasily. The destructive power was quickly approaching. The two elves turned to look at each other and saw the joy in each other’s eyes.

Then, this joy turned into disbelief and shock.

From the incomparably brilliant light, they saw a scene that was like an illusion. In the endless light and heat, two dazzling wings flapped and roared over.

“This is…”

They muttered to themselves.

Then, warm tears flashed through his eyes.

“This is not an illusion…”

At this moment, Sir Taize and Captain Estes felt that they had already received praise.

This was because they had personally seen the light that had long disappeared in the sunset.

The violently expanding flames swallowed everything.

Explosions and tremors rose. The intense impact collided all the way and rushed out of the rift valley. Everyone retreated. Kang De was extremely uneasy. He shouted, “Parrot! Parrot!”

In the next moment, with an extremely clear cry, golden light separated the waves and flames and rushed into the sky. Kang De focused his gaze and saw that it was the parrot.

It was still that small body and appearance, but at this moment, the parrot was circling in the sky, giving off an extremely divine and solemn feeling, as if a king was patrolling his world.

It let out another earth-shattering cry.

For a moment, all the animals roared. What they let out was not their usual sound, but an even stranger and more shocking roar. The entire Holy Seal Islands shook in response to this sound and even drowned out this violent vibration, filling the entire world.
