Chapter 931: First Sun, Drive Away the Stars and the Waning Moon
Cerydra looked at Lygus and asked, "Are you planning to lynch her?"
Lygus: "Perhaps experiment is a better word."
"The guests' patience is running out. I intend to dispel the illusion and proceed to the feast. I will accept your advice. Withdraw for now, Divine Master, and return to Ochma. You don't want to confront those two head-on, do you?"
"Indeed, unfortunately, the people of Antikythera are not fond of drinking. Before I leave, I would like to offer my spirit, instead of a glass, to your boundless ambition."
After saying this, Lai Gushi left, and at this time, Heiseyin also found Xing and Xilian.
Heather: "As expected, the Narrator's plot... is now clear. Thank you both for your heroic sacrifices. It's time to dispel the illusion. This is Caesar's final speech before he departs, and perhaps his only chance to change her mind."
I will secure opportunities for you to offer your opinions, and I will also be prepared for any eventuality... From now on, it all depends on your performance."
Xing and Xilian returned to their seats and waited.
At this time, Seneca, feeling dizzy from drinking, said, "Ugh, ugh... the effect of this honey wine... wears off really fast."
At this moment, Cerydela gradually walked onto the stage. Labienus noticed her and immediately shouted, "Caesar—Caesar is here!"
Everyone in the audience bowed when they saw Cerydra.
Cerydra then said, "No need for formalities. Urgent business has delayed me, and I owe you all an apology. With the evening drawing near, and you all having enjoyed yourselves, I will not go through the formalities—for you, my fellow warriors, already know these terms by heart."
Labienus shouted, "Caesar's words are laws!"
Seneca couldn't help but grumble, "Are you out of your mind, Lord Broken Blade? Caesar hates flatterers the most."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into laughter. It was obvious that Labienus was also drunk.
Starry Sky Railway Ten Thousand Enemies: "My ancestors! How could you make such a fool of yourself at this party?"
Star Railway Bai'e: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect Lord Labienus to be so drunk that he even forgot that Her Majesty Cerydra hates flattery."
Celestial Railway's Cerydra: "Alas, he's done this countless times before, so I won't go into details."
After everyone had finished laughing, Cerydra chuckled and said, "Ah, the joyful atmosphere only serves to highlight your resolve. I believe that in the battle of Falgina, the nobles will exert their wits and efforts as they have in the past... It's a pity that I have never verified your loyalty."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience, especially the dukes, could not help but look puzzled.
Xi Lian also felt a little strange: "What does this mean?"
Cerydra continued, "Therefore, today's dinner is not to boost morale, but to establish the Alliance's truly trustworthy allies—and to cut off the heads of the traitors as a toast to your journey!"
The expressions of everyone in the audience became even more confused, and there was a hint of uneasiness.
Cerydra: "Yes, some of us have broken our oaths and are hatching their evil plot! Now, listen carefully, these traitors are doing this in broad daylight, in the middle of this feast—"
Just as everyone in the room was on edge, Cerydra looked at Heather. "Lord Sword-Banner Heather—he uses the sirens' songs to cause hallucinations in the crowd, hiding his whereabouts. He also conspires with aliens to eavesdrop on secrets, intending to seize the Allfire and murder Caesar!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on the three people, and they surrounded them to prevent them from escaping.
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "No, what's going on? Why did Heisen suddenly become a traitor?"
Cosmic Wanderer Gao Xuan said: "It seems that Caesar has discovered Heiseyin's little trick, but what Caesar's intentions are is unknown."
Genshin Impact Navilette: "But the current situation is really not optimistic. How are Miss Xing and the other two going to break the impasse?"
Labienus and many Xuanfeng warriors have already started arm wrestling and neck twisting with the Snow Mastiff Man, ready to fight at any time.
Xing saw this scene and looked like he was used to it. "Isn't this completely exposed? We're in a passive position again..."
"Caesar, please listen to me..." Heather was about to explain when Cerydela interrupted her: "Shut up!"
Then, Cerydra threw a dagger in front of the three people. "Remember? Under my introduction, the owner of this item once met with you in the Triumvirate of Fate. Katniss, the leader of the Cleansers, was the first to stab Caesar with a sharp blade, personally setting an example for my enemies.
Under the shade of the olive trees, they said Ochma would never surrender; in the cold, dead fog, they said Aedilia would never surrender; at the starting point of a thousand roads, they said Janusapolis would never surrender...
Now, they have nothing to say. They fear me as they fear the law. I am Cerydra, I am Caesar—if you have any last words, come to Caesar.
Then, accept her judgment."
After Cerydla finished speaking, Hetheon said silently: "After crossing the river, the zombies will face tragedy in the human world; but if they don't cross the river, they will suffer their own destruction..."
Heather turned to look at Xing: "If you are ready, I will fight with you until the last moment, Savior."
Zero Ophis: "Is this... no more explanations? Straight away, you're siding with the pioneers."
Zero Will-O-Wisp: "After all, that Caesar doesn't want to listen to Heiseyin's explanation at all. No matter how much he says, it's useless."
Xing looked at Xilian and said, "We must convince Cerydela... If there's no other way, we can only assassinate Caesar."
Xilian immediately shook his head. "No, partner... trust me! The shortcut is already open. Now, use your identity, add a little experience and charm... prove it to Caesar, just as we promised."
Cerydra said disdainfully, "Are you trying to replace the regicide sword with a verbal sparring match? Sure! I'd like to see how much weight these rhetoricians hold—whether they carry more weight than three lives."
Xing thought to herself, "Let me organize my words carefully."
Walter Yang of Star Dome Railway: "From this, we can see how tiring it was for Bai Er to go through reincarnation again and again. But in this reincarnation, Xing Er went through a sharp confrontation at the slightest mistake."
Genshin Impact's Qiantrali: "Indeed, if I had to go through this kind of scene every time, I'd probably feel exhausted."
Honkai Impact 3rd Talisman: "The first time I experience this kind of scene, I must tell them the truth; the second time I experience this kind of scene, I still have to tell them the truth; the tenth time I experience this kind of scene, I still have to tell them; the hundredth time I experience this kind of scene, why is it happening again; the thousandth time I experience this kind of scene, can't I try something new; the ten thousandth time I experience this kind of scene, these idiots are not going to stop, are they?"
