Whoosh!

A sharp sound appeared above the fortress.

The soldiers patrolling the city wall were instantly awakened.

They looked around, seemingly trying to find the source of the sound, and then looked up into the air.

A huge object was descending from the sky.

"What is that thing?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I don't know, how is it flying? I don't see any wings."

"You fool, it must be magic, go inform the captain quickly."

The soldiers quickly reacted and prepared to inform their captain of the situation.

"No need."

At this moment, the commander organizing the night defense came over.

He saw the bright lantern sign on the aircraft.

"A magical ship?"

In the world he came from, there were such things in certain magic-prone countries.

"Alright, relax everyone, it's not an enemy."

Then the aircraft landed in front of the fortress and disappeared, turning into faint light spots, vanishing into the air.

And it was none other than Kane and the others who had left a few hours ago.

Did not expect them to return so quickly today?

Usually, Kane and his group, who hunted undead outside, would return just as dawn broke.

However, after seeing it was Kane and his companions, the soldiers no longer paid attention to them.

Even though they did not know exactly what the flying object was, since it was made by Kane, there was nothing to worry about.

In these days, they had seen Kane make some incomprehensible and strange things more than once.

Then Kane and his group walked into the fortress towards the corner area assigned to them for rest and residence.

That was the best living area around.

The residences of various commanders were around there.

When Kane and his group returned, everyone was a bit puzzled about why they came back so soon today.

After disbanding the team, Kane went directly to Meizike's residence.

Seeing Kane's arrival, Meizike was a bit confused.

Then his attention focused directly on Kane's forefinger: "Injured? Was the enemy strong this time?"

Faced with Meizike's slightly curious question, Kane shook his head: "Not very strong, but his attacks and the rules attached were quite peculiar."

He came to Meizike, placing his hand on the nearby table.

Meizike put on special glasses and observed carefully.

"Interesting, a type of compound rule residual energy."

"In essence, your finger isn't hurt, this crack is just an external manifestation, the specific embodiment of this rule should be recognized as a blockade."

It means the part downward from Kane's crack was blocked, naturally feeling no existence there.

No pain could be felt above because no real injury occurred, it simply vanished.

Thinking of this, Meizike flicked the finger on the other side of the crack with his finger.

"How is it, feel anything?"

Kane shook his head.

The blocked part, even if cut off completely and ground to powder, Kane would feel nothing.

After studying for a while, Meizike extended his finger and pointed at it.

A faint spot of light, its color unclear, surged into the crack.

As the light surged in, Kane could feel his forefinger again, but it flickered intermittently.

"This rule isn't simple, so when eliminated, the mutual cancellation of two rules feels somewhat strange."

Hearing Meizike's explanation, Kane nodded knowingly.

Rules are like this, Meizike's elimination rule might be stronger than this blocking rule, but dispersing it requires a greater cost.

It's like having a shield that can defend against everything and a spear that can pierce anything.

When two opposing rules intersect and attack each other.

A phenomenon occurs.

If both sides have the same level of understanding, then the shield can block the spear.

This is the restraint of the shield against the spear.

It's the same with various rules.

Meizike's elimination rule essentially eliminates the power of other rules.

For it to eliminate other rules, Meizike's elimination rule must be stronger than the opponent's to achieve that.

If everyone is the same, naturally elimination is impossible.

Soon after, the crack on Kane's finger disappeared.

He moved his forefinger, feeling the sensation returning.

......

Meanwhile, the witch demon on a pile of bones opened his eyes, sensing that the remnants of the rule's aura had vanished.

The place where it disappeared was exactly where he failed.

"Eliminated in such a short time? Is it a targeted rule?"

He pondered in his heart.

At this time, Kane walked out from Meizike's room.

The sky was faintly lighting up, and at this moment the pager at Kane's waist vibrated.

He picked it up and surprisingly, the message was from White Horn.

Why send a message at this time?

Counting the time, perhaps the Rescue Ship was about to log in.

Kane quickly checked the message.

Sure enough.

The Rescue Ship is expected to arrive at the designated area by noon.

The so-called designated area is a natural port, the same place around where Kane and the others landed.

It's also that bay.

Kane and others had temporarily leased that area.

Thinking it over, Kane decided to go there personally.

According to Baijiao, Ailalina is also on the ship, and the officials sent by various forces are still in the fortress.

Kane conveyed this news to the people in the fortress and asked who wanted to join in to take a look.

Among them, Funa and her team must temporarily go along.

With just the presence of two Angels and the image of Finaris,

they could easily calm those refugees.

Apart from them, only Lilulu showed interest.

After deciding who would accompany them, Kane led everyone to the back of the fortress.

The Bishop would also accompany them.

However, the fortress is still a very long distance from the landing spot.

Even traveling at full speed with a vehicle would take a day or two.

So Kane directly created a flying machine.

He spoke to the attending officials from various forces and the Bishop.

"Alright, everyone, get on. We will reach the landing spot quickly by flying with this aircraft."

Hearing Kane's words, the officials immediately nodded and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty Kane."

Then everyone boarded the flying machine and fastened their seatbelts under guidance.

Feeling the sudden acceleration of the aircraft in the air.

"This thing flies so fast."

An official looked down through the adjacent glass, seeing various clouds quickly passing by.

Before long, they passed through all the defenses.

Feeling the speed of the flying machine, these officials were already pondering in their minds whether this thing could be bought.

Or if it could be manufactured.

It was approaching noon.

They were finally about to reach the target location.

The arrival of Kane and his group drew the attention of countless refugees below.

Some nearby towns had long been unable to endure the presence of refugees.

After receiving the news a few days ago, they had gradually sent the refugees here.

There were quite a few soldiers patrolling the area, though not out of goodwill to prevent attacks by the Undead.

But rather to prevent these refugees from rioting or running back to those towns.

The refugees looked haggard, small in stature, exuding a stench.

Driven here by these guards, after initial panic,

they set up makeshift camps with their belongings.

Fortunately, it seemed, the nobles of those towns, surprisingly, finally gave these refugees some food.

Initially, the refugees thought the nobles couldn't endure them any longer and wanted to bring them here to kill them.

However, the soldiers did not do that. Many refugees, originally from their own forces, were aware of some rules about the Mist.

This was also why they didn't start a riot immediately. Of course, there might have been little effect even if they rioted.

Because the able-bodied and strong had already been selected into the frontline army.

They were driven here, listening to tax officials' constant persuasion.

Claiming someone would come to save them.

But no one believed these words.

They didn't even know why the soldiers drove them here.

Various grievances and rumors spread among the refugee groups.

The appearance of Kane and his group attracted the attention of all present refugees.

"Kane, their emotions are unstable, nearly filled with negative emotions in their souls,"

Lilulu, perched on Kane's shoulder, reminded him.

In her eyes, the refugees' souls were filled with Fury, sorrow, and negative emotions, like a powder keg about to explode.

Upon hearing Lilulu's reminder, Kane nodded.

These forces really can't wait for a moment. Kane cursed silently.

But this was somewhat unjust.

The refugees were driven here because, upon hearing the news, the City Lords of those towns acted spontaneously.

Especially those closest to here.

Didn't see the face of the official from the local forces behind Kane turning green?

He knew such an act would surely displease Kane, but there was no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.

However, Kane didn't mind. He gestured to Finaris and the others nearby.

Subsequently, a high platform rose directly at Kane's feet.

Standing on the platform, looking at the dense crowd of refugees before him.

These refugees were immediately drawn to the suddenly rising platform, and almost everyone focused on Kane.

"You have lost your homes, endured hunger, and live in constant fear of death. I understand you, and I have come for this reason."

"Who are you?"

"Sounds nice, but how about giving us some food."

Various noisy voices erupted from the refugees below.

Kane waved his hand, and the noise quickly ceased as all speaking refugees found their mouths suddenly blocked by something appearing.

This move silenced them directly.

Then suddenly, a massive Array appeared in the sky, and Golden raindrops fell.

All the refugees felt their weakened, near-death bodies beginning to heal.

To some extent, these refugees had various large and small injuries, which began to heal instantly.

Even hunger seemed to change.

"I am the one the officials mentioned, the one who came to save you and ensure you are fed.

And you were brought here because I am now here to rescue you."

Upon saying this, Kane looked toward the distant sea.

The refugees, in the joy of their bodies healing, watched the man above suddenly fall silent.

Then followed Kane's gaze to look behind.

As more refugees turned their heads, everyone's gaze focused on the sea.

Against the light, a massive object was breaking through the waves.
