The night wind was cold. Magic signals that symbolized encountering an enemy bloomed in the sky, one after another.

It was like iron fists hitting the faces of every Goethe person.

Less than two hours ago, an attack tore through the festive atmosphere since the end of the war and reminded every Goethe person who was deep in a beautiful dream that the war was not far away.

The weakness of Goethe was a sin, and the reason that caused the war still existed. Now, another attack had happened, announcing the unscrupulousness and disdain of the planner.

He could come and go as he pleased.

The dignity of a country could also be trampled on.

Grand Duke Leckos revealed an angry expression. Then, he thought of something and turned to look at his close friend who had already left. As if their hearts were connected, Prime Minister Xide also looked back at that moment. Their gazes met through the distant darkness. The Grand Duke only saw the mockery flash across his old friend's lips. It was unknown who he was mocking. He discovered that he could no longer understand this decades-old friend, or rather, he had never understood him.

"In the name of Grand Duke Goethe, Leckos Tedrell, I'll deprive you of your authority as Prime Minister of Goethe. From now on, you're not allowed to leave the manor and are forbidden to receive guests until your suspicion is completely cleared or your crime is finally determined."

Tonight's conversation had already completely disappointed him. No matter what reason or difficulties he had, Xide was no longer qualified to be the Prime Minister. Just as Tina had said, when the Prime Minister was confused, the Grand Duke could not be confused… He had to do the right thing.

Grand Duke Leckos took two steps back. In the end, he stared at his close friend who had disappeared into the darkness, and turned around.

"Landiston, seal the Keram Manor. You'll personally arrange for surveillance and house arrest."

The cold night dyed his eyes with cruelty. Even if the magic signal rising from the Maple Leaf Palace illuminated the night sky, he did not panic because of this.

His gaze landed on Sword Saint Snowfall. "From the two attacks, we have reason to believe that an enemy with a conspiracy and a meticulous plan has targeted Goethe. They planned the first attack and lured us here, then the second… Then, the first thing we have to guard against is the third time."

"Therefore, Hill, I'll let you rush back to the Maple Leaf Palace immediately. We'll arrive later."

At this moment, the strongest pillars of Goethe, Sword Saint Snowfall and the Crimson Queen, could use powerful strength as the backbone of a battle to support them. It was convenient for their weaker but powerful companions to attack. Hillmelia and the Crimson Queen quickly rushed back to help. It looked to be the best choice, but this would cause the defense of their group to be empty. If there was a third attack, there would be trouble.

Moreover, the Crimson Queen was only a guest who had followed Kang De to support. Compared to him, she was even more distant. He did not have the position and qualifications to order the other party.

The Sword Saint nodded and was about to move when Kang De said, "Gorilla, go."

She handed a bullet that had anchored the spatial beacon to the gorilla.

Then, there was the signal generator that could connect several worlds.

"At the very least, I can see the attacker's appearance. Don't worry, I'm more careful than you think," Kang De said. "Don't mind me. This is not only Goethe's matter but also my personal hatred."

The Phoenix Vision could at least see through the other party's background and methods.

However, the reason was not only that.

The assassin who had injured Horus had been reduced to ashes, and the clues had been cut off. Now that Kang De thought about it, it was a pity. If he could survive, he could use the power of the Fire Thief to forcefully read the other party's memory fragments. However, he could not reveal such a reason to others.

Shattering the body, devouring souls, usurping skills, and reading memories. Even in the world of swords and magic, such an ability was a very terrifying ability that would definitely be feared.

He looked at Tina, who agreed with his judgment. Although she valued and worried about Kang De more than usual, she would almost never question his decision.

However, at the same time, she wanted Kang De to know that someone had been worried about him.

She went forward and hugged Kang De. It was frontal and very hard. She would never get tired of this beautiful touch of hitting people with a ball. Every time, it was very new, but language was always the most powerful weapon.

Tina whispered in her ear, "I want to reward you again."

"…"

This was really… irresistible.

The gorilla's figure turned into a flash of light and swept in the direction of the Maple Leaf Palace. At the same time, the Grand Duke and the others abandoned the carriage and changed to warhorses. They wanted to quickly return.

Under their gazes, Kang De shattered the dark light and returned to the white fog world.

Previously, when they rushed to Red Maple City, the gorilla and Sword Saint Snowfall were in charge of opening the way. After sweeping a domain, they sent a signal to Kang De to descend. They were already very familiar with this kind of thing.

After returning to the white fog world, Kang De had to wait and prepare for battle.

In the vast western airport of Comoros, Horus was sitting beside the warehouse, surrounded by the dismantled aircraft engine, jet port, lines, and pipe facilities. One of its arms had turned into a welding spray gun and was repairing a wound on its body. When it heard the commotion, it looked up. "Father, did it go smoothly?"

"It didn't go well."

Kang De brought a few large boxes from the district and kicked one of them at his iron son. "Help me deal with the ammunition. Also, set up an artillery position here…"

His iron son was seriously injured, and his mobility and combat ability were greatly reduced, but this did not mean that he could not help at all. Even if he could only stay in the white fog world and stop his injuries from worsening, Horus could still do many things. For example, he could use Kang De's current combat vehicle to build a firepower position and open fire when he opened the spatial door to let the enemy know what superior firepower was.

This move could be called the "King's Armory".

However, compared to this, his iron son seemed to have his own thoughts.

It asked, "Father wants to fight?"

Kang De said, "No, I have to at least protect myself."

Small-scale battles were naturally left to the gorilla, Sword Saint Snowfall, and the tools of Goethe. He only needed to protect himself and pay attention to his position to escape. He was not unwilling to be protected by a woman at all.

What a joke. Would a nuclear silo care that it had to be protected by the fleet, fighter jets, and marine divisions?

Horus said, "Then, I'll help."

Kang De frowned and said, "There's no need. Rest in peace and recuperate. There's no need to force yourself."

The welding torch in his iron son's hand returned to his palm. He said, "No, I'm not forcing myself. Father, this is based on rational judgment. You might have to face a small-scale high-intensity battle next. Large-scale artillery fire is meaningless. What you need is higher mobility and stronger defense, as well as a certain amount of firepower to restrain you. I can provide these."

The Transformer clearly hesitated, then said, "But…"

Kang De asked, "But what?"

"However, there's one thing you have to promise me," Horus said in a muffled voice. "I did this for Father. This is based on kinship and worries for you. Therefore, any mockery is a trample on this heart."

Kang De blinked, then put on a serious expression.

"Don't worry," he said. "I'm your father."

At this moment, Kang De recalled his father. In this life so far, the stupid face and excessive beauty that Kang Jinzhu had mocked were remembered and learned by his son.

This was the inheritance and continuation of the family.

As expected, its iron son revealed a suspicious expression. Then, it sighed, raised its hands, and held its head. Then, it pulled hard. The biting structure made a soft sound as it fell off. Then, under Kang De's gaze, the Transformer pulled its head off.

Immediately, the Transformer made a sound as if it had been turned off. The steel body that Earth's technology could not imagine and understand instantly lost its vitality. The energy system and transmission system turned off at the same time, and the iron arm fell weakly. Horus's head left his palm and rolled to the ground.

Then, four mechanical spider legs stretched out from the neck of this dignified iron head.

The head was the Transformer's head, and the body was the body of a terrifying robot. This huge steel head quickly spun under the support and movement of its four short legs. It was stable and very agile.

"…"

"…"

"Cough…"

"'Father."

"Yes?"

When Kang De heard his son's call, he immediately revealed a serious and dignified expression.

"You promised me not to laugh."

"I'm not laughing."

"You're lying. You're clearly laughing at me."

Of course, Kang De denied it, and his hand was subconsciously about to sweep across his chest. Horus's cold voice shattered his stupid movements, "Father, if you want to turn on the camera, I have no choice but to physically empty all the materials you've accumulated these past few days."

Horus's eyes lit up with a hot red light. Huge energy urged out a photon beam and left charred marks on the ground to prove that what it said was true.

"If you hadn't said this, I would have forgotten."

Kang De glared at him and said, "Where did Lily's terrifying cosplay outfit come from? Who gave it to the gorilla? Why did you approach the window earlier? What's with shouting that you're wrong? Did you film…"

The Transformer's eyes flickered one after another. A cheap electronic voice sounded in his head, then Horus read it in a cold tone, "The memory module is damaged. I don't know what Father is talking about."

Kang De narrowed his eyes, but at this moment, the signal generator flashed with a dazzling red light.

Horus said indifferently, "Father, now doesn't seem to be the time to talk about this."

It was time to hit his son.

In the end, Kang De could only pick up Horus. The metal head unfolded and changed shape, turning into a solid armor and flexible joints that wrapped Kang De's left arm, turning him into a winter soldier.

However, this thing was clearly much more ferocious than the Winter Soldier. Kang De raised his left arm, and Horus knew his intentions. The components opened and gathered, and the internal structure spun and contracted. The extended muzzle condensed with blazing light.

"Protection, attack, assisted calculation… There are many things that can be done."

Kang De moved his arm and asked, "New ability?"

"Yes, I learned the ability after absorbing Tacitus," Horus replied. "It can greatly increase Father's self-preservation, combat ability, and mobility. Now, my body is seriously injured, and only the core part is very well protected. It just so happens that I can work as an exoskeleton to assist Father."

Kang De nodded. He had already put on his combat clothes. Then, he snapped his fingers and passed through the dim light to return to the other world. The landing point was Maple Leaf Palace. The gorilla had already cleared the teleportation location.

…That should be the case.

However, when Kang De stepped out of the spatial door and appeared at night in the other world, other than the gorilla beside him, he also saw the figure opposite him. It was a dragon and phoenix armor. Its sword was like flames. The king looked at him, and his expression and gaze were covered by the phoenix-winged helmet. It was the Empress of Twilight, the Phoenix King, Delilah.

He was shocked and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The moment he saw the Phoenix King, his unfilial son's REC had already lit up.

The Phoenix King's voice was cold and calm, as if Kang De was only a stranger, "The world is huge. I can go wherever I want. Why can't I come?"

—Oh, okay, I understand. It's no wonder. After all, Maple Leaf Palace has caused such a huge commotion, and the peace situation between the two countries is a little awkward. In order not to cause a misunderstanding, you definitely have to come and take a look. After all, in the current situation, once there's any misunderstanding, once the battle starts again and the quality is projected, hundreds of thousands of people will die.

Kang De understood.

He said, "Nothing happened. You don't have to worry."

Delilah's tone turned colder and more urgent. She immediately said, "What am I worried about?"

Kang De immediately said, "Alright, alright, alright. You're not worried. You're not worried at all."

Indeed, these words made her, the Elven Empress, look timid and afraid under the deterrence of the forbidden curse. She had to explain at the slightest movement. No wonder he did not like to hear it. It was better to give her face.

As expected, Delilah snorted heavily.

"So this is a misunderstanding?"

Kang De asked the gorilla, also asking the Phoenix King, "You were the one who barged into the Maple Leaf Palace the second time?"

Before the gorilla could answer, Delilah sneered, "Misunderstanding? Don't you suspect that I deliberately barged in to do bad things? Don't you suspect that I sent people to do the first attack?"

Kang De said without hesitation, "Of course you won't do that."

—The council has crossed you and declared war again. This is shaking your rule foundation and absolute authority. Hundreds of thousands of troops are trapped in Goethe. What you should do the most now is to lead the army back and f*ck the rebels before settling the score with me. How can you not figure out the sequence and attack me at a time like this?

When the Phoenix King heard this, she looked at Kang De deeply, and gentle waves appeared in her eyes.

Her tone softened and was not as stiff as before. She said indifferently, "I wasn't the one who barged in the second time. I only came to take a look and happened to encounter it. That intruder was very unreasonable to me, so I casually punished him. That's it. Believe it or not."
