Chapter 1091: Chapter 749: The Final Battle in Fuyuki_4 Chapter 1091: Chapter 749: The Final Battle in Fuyuki_4 After a moment, Duanmu Huai lifted his head.

“Indeed, all that you have shown has shocked me, King of Conquerors. As a reciprocation, let me tell you a story.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked up.

“Conquest–yes, that is a human desire, but not just of the earth, oh King of Conquerors. This land alone cannot satisfy human craving!”

“————–”

As Duanmu Huai spoke, suddenly, a deep rumbling sound arose. Following that, a dark shadow covered the sun over the desert, and the wind and sand howled furiously. Everyone couldn’t help but step back, looking up in surprise at the sky–then their eyes widened.

In the sky, gigantic warships slowly descended from above, like resplendent fortresses in the air, with giant cannons on either side like guards of a fortress wall targeting in every direction.

“In a distant future unknown to you, humans left the earth to venture into the star sky.”

Duanmu Huai said calmly, however, at this moment, everyone else was already stunned.

“The ruler of humans appeared, named The Emperor–well, by the way, this isn’t about me, nor my friend’s affair. You don’t need to associate me with him.”

Noticing the strange looks from others, Duanmu Huai hastily clarified that this was not just some “I have a friend” misdirection–he did not wish to be compared to that shameless bastard.

“At that time, he intended to lead humans to the star sky, to conquer every shining star and make it all belong to the Human Empire!”

“Ohhh!”

Listening to Duanmu Huai’s words, the King of Conquerors looked as if he had seen some new exciting toy, his eyes shone with exhilaration.

“It was a grand expedition, a campaign to conquer the galaxy. Under the leadership of The Emperor, people crossed galaxies, conquering every planet they saw. However…”

Here, Duanmu Huai snorted lightly.

“Before the great expedition could end, The Emperor chose to retreat. He claimed he had more important affairs than the vast expedition, to protect humanity, he left the front lines and returned to the Royal Palace. The soldiers he left behind began to feel lost, confused, and eventually, they sparked a rebellion that ended the grand campaign of human’s galactic conquest.”

Duanmu Huai looked at the King of Conquerors.

“What do you think, King of Conquerors? What’s your view on The Emperor’s actions?”

“I cannot understand it at all!”

RIDER clenched his fists, showing an angry expression.

“Such a conquest is utterly thrilling! Yet, he abandoned his lost subjects to indulge alone in his petty and sacred ideal! Always saving his subjects but never guiding them, such a person does not deserve to be called a king!”

“Wait, RIDER, how can you say that?”

SABER couldn’t help but interrupt.

“If The Emperor truly did it to protect humanity, then his actions were right!”

“Right? So, are you a correct slave?”

“Of course not, to dedicate oneself to an ideal and protect the people, that is the way of a king!”

“Heh heh…”

Facing SABER’s response, RIDER laughed.

“O king who bears the name of a knight, your justice and ideals might have saved a nation and its people temporarily, and that’s why your name has been passed down to this day. But you must know the outcome of those who were saved!”

“You…”

Hearing RIDER’s words, SABER turned pale, but she still clenched her teeth.

“In that case, what about you, RIDER? Aren’t you discontented that your empire ultimately fractured? Don’t you wish to start over?”

“Not at all!”

RIDER gestured emphatically.

“If my decisions and my subjects lead to such outcomes, then destruction was inevitable. I would mourn, I would weep, but I shall never regret!”

If only The Emperor could be as carefree as RIDER, but unfortunately, the old pickled meat seated on the Golden Toilet did not think the same way.

Listening to the conversation between SABER and RIDER, Duanmu Huai closed his eyes and sighed. This was also why Duanmu Huai had never thought about persuading The Emperor. Quite simply, The Emperor’s will was that he alone could save humanity. He did not trust other humans, and The Emperor strongly believed he alone could save them. Everyone else thought the same.

But Duanmu Huai was different.

He never believed that The Emperor could save humanity, especially when he himself thought so. This was also the reason why Duanmu Huai engaged in “Breeding Gu”–those who can save humanity are humans themselves. Even without The Emperor, there would be others who would embark upon a new grand expedition, perhaps succeeding, perhaps failing, or possibly creating an even more thrilling campaign than The Emperor’s.

And the other human civilizations the Human Empire encountered along the way proved that humans could thrive and develop without The Emperor’s leadership. Even without him, humans could still fight against Subspace and build new civilizations.

Ultimately, the reason these human civilizations were destroyed by the Human Empire was not because The Emperor was right, but purely because The Emperor’s army was stronger.

However, sadly, survival of the fittest is the nature of this world. From this perspective, The Emperor was indeed correct.

“Ahem, both of you, now is not the time to argue.”

Duanmu Huai coughed, interrupting the debate between RIDER and SABER.

“Actually, I agree with RIDER’s point of view. That’s no kind of ruler at all, let alone The Emperor, just a rotten piece of pickled meat. But that’s beside the point.”

While speaking, Duanmu Huai looked towards RIDER.

“You’ve shown your sincerity, King of Conquerors, and I’ve shown mine. This is the strength of humanity that once crossed the galaxy, conquering every visible star. Now, use your kingly way to see how you would conquer it!”

“Very well!”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s reply, RIDER smiled excitedly.

“What one desires should be seized. That is my way of kingship! Behold, your interesting toys will also become the spoils of this king!”

As he said this, RIDER drew his Longsword and pointed ahead.

“Attack——–!”

Following RIDER’s command, thousands of Heroic Spirits formed an army surging forward like a torrent, shouting as they charged towards the enemy. And Duanmu Huai simply stood there, watching the scene before him. Above him, the Macro Cannons shifted direction, aiming at the ground.

Then, Duanmu Huai gave the order detachedly.

“Fire.”
