Chapter 1589: The Knight King and Joan of Arc, the Saviors in Despair

However, when Aquaman went to Australia for support last time, he saw the Sword in the Stone in the hands of the Knight King with his own eyes.

Although the biography does not describe the true appearance of the Sword in the Stone, it is definitely different from the modern knight's sword. However, the Sword in the Stone in the hands of the Knight King that Aquaman saw was the same as the knight's sword made with modern technology, with no difference at all.

Even the knight sword held by the guardian knight beside the Knight King is exactly the same in appearance.

This inevitably made them somewhat suspicious.

If this Knight King did not obtain the Sword in the Stone, then how did the rumor come about?
Because the people are eager for the Knight King of the new era to save them, so even if the Knight King is holding a sword that is not the Sword in the Stone, they still stubbornly believe that it is the Sword in the Stone?

In addition to this, the Sword in the Stone was broken during the loading process. During the duel between King Arthur and King Berlinor, the Sword in the Stone broke. Therefore, King Arthur, under the guidance of the great wizard Merlin, obtained the second artifact in his life - the Sword of the King, Excalibur - from the Lady of the Lake.

In fact, rather than believing that the sword in the Knight King's hand is the legendary Excalibur, they are more inclined to believe that the sword in her hand is the Holy Sword Excalibur, at least this sword has never been broken.

But its appearance should be different from the knight's sword made with modern technology.

However, they were unwilling to believe that the sword in the Knight King's hand was really just an ordinary knight's sword.

Because the appearance and temperament of this knight king are so similar to the legendary King Arthur, so similar that there is almost no difference except for gender.

If it is a coincidence, then this coincidence is too coincidental.

It happened that the British Empire was in despair, and it happened that it was a person who looked exactly like the legendary King Arthur, and it happened that he had the desire to save the British Empire.

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

There should never be another person like King Arthur in this world.

"Let's not talk about the Knight King for now. Even if the sword in her hand is really the legendary Sword in the Stone or the Holy Sword Excalibur, she is the only First Sequence in the British Empire."

"Protecting the British Empire has already consumed all her energy, not to mention development."

“The gap between us is only going to get bigger.”

"Let's talk about the next one."

The elderly man waved his hand and spoke calmly.

After all, there is only one first-order empire in the British Empire. No matter how great the glory of the past is or how famous King Arthur is, this fact cannot be changed.

The Sword in the Stone, the Holy Sword Excalibur, or an ordinary knight's sword will not have any effect on them.

The gap between them is far beyond what a magic weapon can make up.

If the artifact was really that powerful, then King Arthur would not have died.

"There is another person who is suspected of having obtained the artifact. She is the saint in the history and legend of Gaul - Joan of Arc!"

Speaking of this name, everyone present restrained their emotions slightly and looked solemn.

Joan of Arc's name is not just a Gallic rooster, it is famous all over the world.

Even those who were in the lighthouse knew the name of this saint.

A national hero of Gaul, a Catholic saint, and an important figure in the British Empire and the Hundred Years' War in Gaul.

A rural girl who had never received military training, and was even a minor, lifted the seven-month siege in just nine days with an incredible miracle, and the news of the victory in Orleans spread throughout Gaul.

That is an absolutely incredible feat.

It's not just that she did something that no one else in Gaul had done, but also that they actually handed over military power to an untrained girl.

This is simply incomprehensible to the extreme.

They were not in that era, and had no way of knowing how desperate the Gauls of that era were to hand over military power to a rural girl who might have been underage.

The reason of so-called "revelation from God" alone is not enough to convince them.

Unless they are ready to die and give up completely.

Only then would they place their hopes in God and in an uneducated rural girl.

But it was precisely because of her existence that the war became extremely full of the charm of faith.

The Lord, it seemed, had descended from myth into reality because of her.

Now, in despair, the Gallic roosters, holding a military flag, a girl named Joan of Arc once again appeared before people, gave them hope for the future, and launched a resistance against the mutant creatures.

Before Joan of Arc appeared, the entire Gauls had reached the final stage. Countless warriors who believed in protecting their country died at the mouths of mutant creatures. Even though they had huge firepower, they still kept retreating when facing the group of mutant creatures.

Even the fear of death did not give them the courage to continue.

Countless people died in the war, countless people cried out for the Lord's coming, and countless people longed for the salvation of heroes.

But reality is reality, and the hero has long passed away while protecting us.

There was only darkness before their eyes, and they could not see even a glimmer of hope.

In such a desperate situation, Joan of Arc came to Gaul holding a military flag and carrying the will of the Lord; her appearance directly awakened the enthusiasm of the entire Gaul chickens. The team that was originally retreating step by step in the face of the tide of mutated creatures, after her appearance, seemed to be really blessed by some unknown power. They not only repelled the tide of beasts, but even dared to actively pursue them.

The Queen of Gaul was even willing to give up her position to Joan of Arc, just hoping that she could lead Gaul to rise again.

It was not only Gaul who went crazy because of her appearance, but even the "outside world" of the lighthouse was shouting for the arrival of a miracle.

"Joan of Arc's videos are extremely popular on the Gaul network, and every time she appears, it causes a huge sensation."

"After repeated analysis, we can confirm that the flag in her hand contains extremely special power."

"Every time Joan of Arc shouts 'My Lord is Here', a huge defense will form, covering everyone behind her. Even first-order mutant creatures cannot break through it."

"However, the flag that should normally be waved often acts as a spear in her hands, piercing through the bodies of mutant creatures."

"According to Joan of Arc, the front of the flag has a spear tip, which means I should use this flag to beat others."

"In addition, when Joan of Arc faces a beast tide exceeding a certain number, before she shouts "My Lord is Here", she will say something."

"[Warriors in this country, this is a time of crisis. Please turn your back to them. This is not only to stop the invasion of the beast tide, but also to open up a path for us to move forward. My real name is Jeanne d'Arc. In the name of the Lord, I will become your solid shield!]"

"According to the data we collected, this sentence was spoken a total of 37 times and has never been modified. It is suspected to be the liberation phrase that must be said before the power of the flag in his hand is maximized."

In fact, there is another possibility that they speculated, that is, Joan of Arc did not receive a complete education and had a low cultural level. She may just want to say something to boost the morale of the soldiers, but she couldn't think of anything else, so she kept repeating this sentence.

Although I don't know where she heard this sentence from, or even if she memorized it.

But this possibility is too low.

Joan of Arc did have a low level of education, but that was the Joan of Arc in history. How was this Joan of Arc like the saint in history?

According to 15th-century statues and descriptions of the time, the real Joan of Arc should have been five feet two inches tall, with a short neck, a stocky build, well-developed muscles, eyes far apart and slightly protruding, and black hair, but what about the Joan of Arc that appears now in the Gallic Rooster?
Golden hair, gorgeous armor, and a face that is so beautiful that it is beyond description.

The gap between these two Joans of Arc is not small.

So this possibility was directly denied by them.

As for the possibility that this Joan of Arc was really the saint in history, whose soul returned to heaven after death and was now sent by the Lord to save the Gauls, and whose appearance became perfect because she was reincarnated as an angel, they did not even think about it.

If the Lord really exists, then all the people who believe in the Lord all over the world should be saved; and it would not just be Joan of Arc who came down to earth, but countless angels.

"Knight King, Joan of Arc."

"Okay, that's it."

The old man waved his hand slightly, and the other party bowed and left.

Be it the King of Knights or Joan of Arc, they are of no reference value to them at all.

Because the weapons in their hands were held by them from the very beginning, rather than being awakened later.

So they had no way of confirming whether their weapon was the legendary artifact.

If it is true, it would not be a good thing for them, because it means that China's speculation is very likely to be true.

The choice of a master for a divine weapon does not only depend on whether the other party is of the first sequence, but also on whether he possesses the so-called luck.

The Knight King and Joan of Arc might be the manifestation of the fortune of the British Empire and the Gallic rooster, so they meet the requirements.

"We can use this information to trade with Lei Shen and his men, and try to persuade them to return to the Lighthouse."

"Even if it's just in name, it's fine."

"In return, we can help them truly master the outside world."

“Of course, it’s not that one person controls everything, but they share the beacon of the outside world.”

"If they can really unite and one of them becomes the king, and the others bow down to him, then that's up to them."

"Anyway, as long as we always stay ahead of them, they will naturally return to us after the battle with the mutants is over."

"Besides, there is no need to wait until then."

If the First Sequence had not grown so fast, they would not have been able to catch up at all. With their current level of technology, they would have been able to regain control of everything with absolute force in three years at most, instead of being like they are now.

"Commander, the messenger from Atlantis has arrived."

At this moment, someone in the conference room seemed to have received some orders, walked up to the old man and said.

"I see."

"Then this meeting ends here."

"Finally, I have some good news to announce. The life-extending potion obtained from Atlantis and optimized for human genes has been completed. On average, one injection can extend life by a hundred years."

"But the stronger the strength, the smaller the effect."

"Sea King and his companions have high cultivation talents, and their lifespans will continue to increase as their strength increases, but we are different."

"We old guys don't have such talent, nor do we have the time to practice like them without any pressure."

"The future of this country is on our shoulders."

"I understand you, just as you understand me."

"End of the meeting."

Although Lighthouse has developed genetic modification technology, this technology is not mature yet. Most of the people who use the technology are soldiers they have bred specifically for war, and their average lifespan is less than thirty years.

In addition, in order to improve their combat effectiveness, various genetic modifications have been carried out, and the lifespan of some of them is even less than three years.

Because it is a product of the assembly line, they don't care about it.

Anyway, it only takes some resources to produce in large quantities, so the lifespan is of no significance.

The only pity is that they can't use this technology on themselves.

Although they have acquired extraordinary powers after awakening their special abilities, their talents are not that good. They may be considered excellent among ordinary people, but they are not at the same level as the elites they consider themselves to be.

At least sequence-level talents can meet their requirements.

Also, although they have all practiced and have a large supply of resources, the speed at which their strength increases is still not fast.

The talent is here, even if they are given more training resources, they can only absorb that part.

In addition, they are already old, and their bodies cannot withstand the huge amount of spiritual energy, so their cultivation speed will be further reduced.

This is also the reason why they would cooperate with Atlantis without hesitation after learning that it has the technology to extend life.

They may not care about the future of the country, but they cannot ignore their own lifespan.

If they die, no matter how bright the future of this country is, it will have nothing to do with them.

Therefore, within a certain period of life, many things can be given.

If it weren't for the commander-in-chief's strong demands, they would even agree to everything Atlantis wanted without hesitation.

Fortunately, Atlantis does not value this technology very much. In fact, this is indeed a technology that they have eliminated, but it is valuable enough for them.

Although it is not aimed at humans, the principle is no different. It just replaces the part belonging to the sea people with humans.

Through continuous experiments, they have successfully developed the product, and its specific efficacy has been confirmed.

Although a lifespan of a hundred years is still an unimaginable distance from the eternity they imagine, with this hundred years of lifespan, their bodies can be rejuvenated and their own cultivation talents can truly come into play.

Even if they are still not as good as those sequence-level psychics, they have abundant resources and are enough to surpass all psychics below the sequence.
