Knights: The journey of support starting with Faiz

"In the gears of war, everyone is an ant."

As the second heart turned, the cloak stirred up a biting wind.

"You should understand that death is the ticket to this game."

He raised his hand and traced the nearest stone tablet, the characters moving and rearranging.

"I need all the information about this world—from fundamental physics to quantum mechanics, from human history to social structures."

Suddenly, memories flashed back to the energy bottle that Qingyu had thrown before his death, and Saruwatari Kazumi's heart-wrenching roar.

Jiang Ye gazed at the churning black mist deep within the stone tablet forest, his voice low and deep.

Why do you suddenly need these?

"Because the cycle must terminate."

The pupil of the two of hearts turned into the shape of a spade on a playing card.

"The conspiracy of Namba Heavy Industries, the secret of the energy bottle, the truth behind the Sky Wall... these are just the tip of the iceberg. Why do you think Saiga Ryoka suddenly possesses emotions? What new scheme is Ishidou Soichi plotting?"

The group of stone tablets suddenly shook violently, and the text turned into a stream of light that entered Jiang Ye's brow.

He staggered and steadied himself against the stone tablet, countless images exploding in his mind.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ···

Saiga Ryoka's trembling hands, Sento's dangerous trigger hidden in his pocket, and Ishidou Soichi's ever-present scheming smile.

Don't let the past hold you back.

The voice of Red Heart Two gradually faded.

"Get your information ready. Next time we meet, I'll tell you an even more interesting secret."

The meeting room at the Prime Minister's official residence in Tokyo.

Saiga Ryoka, dressed in a dark-colored suit skirt, sat elegantly on a leather chair.

The fingertips tapped rhythmically on the carved tabletop, producing a crisp sound.

. .. ....

Across from him, Utsumi, the representative of Namba Heavy Industries, sat upright, fine beads of sweat glistening on his forehead.

"Mr. Utsumi, what brings you here?"

Saiga Ryoka's lips curled into a flirtatious smile as she looked at the other person with a half-smile.

"Namba Heavy Industries never comes here without a reason. They wouldn't just be here to chat with me, would they?"

Her voice was melodious and pleasant, yet it carried a sense of oppression.

Uchimi swallowed hard, then, trying to remain calm, pushed a black box onto the table.

The lid popped open, revealing eight energy bottles of different colors gleaming mysteriously against a velvet lining.

Red like fire, blue like ice, purple like lightning, each one exudes a heart-pounding power.

"This is a small token of our appreciation from Namba Heavy Industries. We hope it can lend a helping hand to Tohoku."

The voice of the inland sea trembled.

Caihe Liangxiang leaned forward, examining the energy bottles with great interest, her slender fingers gently stroking the bottle.

"That's an interesting gift."

She straightened up and stared at Utsumi again.

Chapter 202: True Intentions

"However, I'd like to hear more about Namba Heavy Industries' true intentions."

Utsumi straightened his tie and forced a smile.

“Miss Saiga is indeed astute. Namba Heavy Industries has always upheld the principle of fair cooperation. We hope that Tonen will demonstrate sufficient strength to prove that it is qualified to become our ally. At that time, we will definitely give it our full support.”

Upon hearing this, Saiga Ryoka let out a burst of laughter, but it sent chills down everyone's spine.

"strength?"

Her eyes turned cold.

"The day the Northern Capital falls will be the day the Eastern Capital reveals its true strength, '127.' Naniwa Heavy Industries, just wait and see."

As she spoke, a powerful aura emanated from her, making it difficult for Inatemi to breathe.

After the Inner Sea hurriedly left, Caihe Liangxiang stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the brightly lit night view of Dongdu.

She gently stroked the glowing Ocean God's Energy Bottle on her chest.

"Namba Heavy Industries, Eberl... do you think you can manipulate Tokyo? You're being far too naive."

A fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

"Since you want to abandon Dongdu, then I'll show you just how terrifying Dongdu's power really is!"

The ocean energy surrounding Saiga Ryoka began to boil.

Under her control, eight energy bottles slowly rose and hovered in front of her, shining brightly.

Her pupils glowed with a deep blue light, she muttered incantations, and her hands traced mysterious trajectories in the air.

In an instant, eight streams of energy of different colors surged into her palm, converging into a huge blue energy ball.

The energy sphere continued to expand, its light growing brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire mansion as if it were daytime.

Caihe Liangxiang's body slowly rose into the air, her hair flying wildly under the impact of energy.

His suit was torn apart by powerful energy, and in its place was a suit of armor formed from ocean energy.

She hovered a hundred meters in the air, like the ruler of the ocean, looking down at the city below.

"Beidu, let your destruction serve as a sacrifice for the rise of Dongdu!"

Her voice resounded through the heavens, carrying boundless majesty and murderous intent.

At this moment, Uchiha, who was on his way back, looked at the terrifying energy ball in the sky and his face turned pale.

He staggered back a few steps, collapsed to the ground, and muttered to himself.

"This...how is this possible? Cai He Liangxiang...she can actually control such powerful energy!"

The ground in the northern capital began to shake violently, and dark clouds filled the sky with lightning and thunder.

The surging waters converged from all directions, forming a giant wave hundreds of meters high.

They rushed towards the city of Beidu.

Screams, cries, and the roar of collapsing buildings mingled together, plunging the entire capital into chaos and despair.

Prime Minister Yuta Yoshiko stood on the terrace of the Prime Minister's Office, watching all of this in horror.

Her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a word; her eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

"No...it can't be...this can't be real..."

Her voice was drowned out by the roar of the giant waves.

Saiga Ryoka gazed at the destroyed Hokuto, a cold smile playing on her lips.

She showed no pity whatsoever; her eyes held only indifference and resolve.

"The next one is Xidu."

She murmured to herself, preparing to gather energy once more.

A dark figure sped in from the north.

Holding the squeeze driver, Saruwatari Kazumi roared as he charged toward Saiga Ryoka, his eyes burning with fury.

"Saiga Ryoka! You executioner! I will avenge Hokuto and the Three Crows!"

Almost Zhan Tu and Jiang Ye also arrived at the scene.

Sento looked at the horrific scene before him, his face grim and he shouted.

"Saiga Ryoka! You are abusing your power! Your actions have far exceeded the scope of protecting the Eastern Capital!"

Jiang Ye stood quietly to the side, his eyes deep and complex.

Looking at Saiga Ryoka floating in the air, he understood that the power she was displaying this time was even more terrifying than before.

Caihe Liangxiang slowly turned around, her eyes sweeping over the three of them one by one.

She looked at the furious Saruwatari Kazumi with a mocking smile, but then cast an inquisitive glance at Koyo and Sento.

"As a warrior of the Eastern Capital, my stance has never changed."

Her voice was icy.

"Anyone who stands in the way of Dongdu's progress will only have one fate—disappearance!"

Before she finished speaking, the ocean energy around her erupted once more, and countless water blades condensed in the air, like sharp swords, pointing directly at Zhan Tu, Jiang Ye, and Yuan Du Yi Hai.

Chapter 203: The Traitor

The ruins of Dongdu Television are still emitting wisps of smoke, and the twisted steel frame, like the outstretched arms of the victims, silently denounces the atrocities that have just occurred.

Sento's knuckles turned white as he gripped the Build Driver, gazing at the distant Hokuto, which was submerged by seawater. The cries coming from there, even from several kilometers away, pierced his eardrums with a sharp intensity.

"War Rabbit, if you make a move now, you might be seen as a traitor to Dongdu."

Jiang Ye's voice came from behind, as calm as ever.

He fiddled with the Ice Crystal Driver in his hand, the metal surface reflecting Sento's tense profile.

"Saiga Ryoka just 'saved' Tokyo, and the public's emotions..."

"The people should not have to pay for the war!"

Zhan Tu turned around, his eyes behind his goggles burning with fury.

"What wrong have the people of Beidu done? Are those children and the elderly also obstacles that Caihe Liangxiang claims must disappear?"

His voice echoed through the empty streets, startling the crows that were foraging for food in the ruins.

Jiang Ye inserted the Ice Crystal Driver into his belt. Blue and white light shimmered in the light, he murmured.

"I'll accompany you."

Ryuga was leaning against a wrecked car, his chewing on a chocolate bar suddenly stopping.

He watched his two companions walk away onto the battlefield.

In the end, all he did was grip the Croz drive at his waist.

"Those guys..."

He muttered to himself, but didn't follow.

High in the sky, Saiga Ryoka floated in a water-blue energy vortex.

Her newly formed armor shimmered with the luster of mother-of-pearl, and eight energy bottles surrounded her.

When she saw Zhan Tu and Jiang Ye, a look of anticipation appeared on her lips.

"finally come."

"Drink!"

Sento was the first to attack, its steam locomotive-shaped tires sparking as it hurtled towards Saiga Ryoka.

Jiang Ye followed closely behind, an ice blade condensing in his palm, frost forming wherever it passed.

Caihe Liangxiang gracefully raised her hand, and thousands of streams of water transformed into long swords, cascading down with a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

The battle rabbit nimbly rolled and leaped, switching energy bottles in the blink of an eye.

The Build Driver roared as the Photon Crusher precisely shot down the incoming water sword.

Jiang Ye met the attack head-on, his ice crystal shield humming under the strain of the water sword's impact.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate with the Flowing Sword Sea, a black figure crashed into the battlefield.
