"All right, let me get this straight. You''re telling us a spaceship that can send down 500 space knights will arrive in a few hours?" Tristan asked in bewilderment.


    "Yes," the entric professor hastily replied. He added, "Also, this type of ship can destroy the city without the need to actuallynd!"


    Tristan could feel a headacheing. He once again cursed at Can in his heart. This shitty king! The man definitely knew this wasing. Can must have left him in charge as he had other ns. That, or knowing about the potential of the enemies that were about toe, Tristan believed that Can chose to run away with his tail between his legs.


    Many of the people that came with Tristan such as Serene, Herrera, and even Tobias himself found it hard to process such information. But for Tristan, not only had he seen spaceships before, but he had also seen enough science fiction television series to imagine what was going toe.


    Hearing their conversation, La curiously asked, "Wow… Brother, is this like one of those-sized ship that can destroy a in one shot?"


    Tristan decided to ignore his sister''s remark which only made him feel worse. He turned to look at Emmet and asked, "Any confirmation about the speed and firepower this cruiser Gctus has?"


    Hearing his question, Professor Emmet''s eyes lit up in tion. Unable to hold himself back, he happily said, "Tobias, I find this new king much to my liking! With Can, I had to exin for weeks until he could barely understand what a spaceship is!"


    Tobias briefly mentioned how Tristan was an ounder. This took them aback. After all, Tristan was in the body of an elf. If someone were to tell them that he was a native of this world, they would believe it without doubt.


    With the mention of his body, La suddenly noticed that Tristan had lost the human part of his face. She wanted to know what that was about, but she understood that it was not the time.


    With Tristan''s question, Professor Emmet introduced the other dozen men who were not part of the Kingsde within the room. With a simple introduction, Tristan quickly realized that they were all ounders who probably had seen spaceships or space knights before.


    One of the introduced people took a drawing from the wall and showed it to Tristan.


    "Cruiser is considered a medium starship," he informed before showing him the equipment that was known to be attached to the cruiser ship.


    "Fortunately, starships are mostly utilized for army transport with more room for people while battleships have more firepower."


    [Rail Gunn - Burst high-impact projectiles]


    [Auto cannon - Rapid explosive shots]


    [Ion ster - High energy st]


    Tristan did not feel any familiarity with those weapon names, but he could clearly feel that they were not anything that would be fortunate about.


    But despite not knowing about the weapons listed, Tristan was still smart enough to understand the meaning of the professor''s remark. After all, no matter how strong 500 space knights were, they still would not beparable to 500 cannons that could shoot from the sky. Hence it was fortunate that it wasn''t a battleship that came.


    Having received the answer to his previous question, Tristan immediately moved on to the next one, "What about Arcadia? Does Arcadia have anything capable of handling such forces?"


    "My king, you have seen our forces, have you not?" Tobias answered. But it was obvious that Tobias did not understand his question.


    Tristan calmed the irritation in his heart before exining his question, "What I mean is if the kingdom has any means to shoot that ship to the ground."


    Tobias thought for a brief moment before shaking his head. Even magic will be limited against such flying steel, not to mention fighting such things using bows and arrows. Even if they were enhanced with magic or were made out of magic, they still would not be able to put up a resistance.


    Tristan took another deep breath. It seemed that Can was really trying to kill him with these fighting odds. He silently cursed Can once more before something he had previously seen came to mind.


    "What about ships? I''ve seen the Firefly ship, do we have more of those?" Tristan turned to look at Professor Emmet again and asked, bearing a hint of anticipation.


    Professor Emmet let out a disappointed sigh before regretfully exining, "In thest 30 years, we have found a total of five spaceships. Even so, the only spaceship we seeded in fixing was Firefly. As for the other four, we do not have enough parts to fix the others enough for them to be usable, so they are basically junk."


    Seeing Tristan''s disappointed expression, the scientist quickly added, "But since I was tasked to create new weapons for Arcadia, I have been collectingser guns and creating our own prototypeser guns as well. We have 300 of them in our inventory" The scientist paused after realizing something. "Unfortunately, while these weapons can reach a pretty good range, they surely do not have enough to hit a spaceship from the ground."


    Hearing this, Tristan sighed yet again. "No ships, no cannons, and no turrets to defend the city, while those space knights wille in hours."


    "So what is your decision? what should we do?" asked Emmet. Tobias also joined him in waiting for Tristan''s answer.


    Going back to the information, Tristan still had more questions about the cruiser ship that needed to be answered before he could make any decision.


    Which part of the ship is the weakness? What kind of defensive system do they have inside? How strong is the leader? He had so many questions, yet there was no one among these dozen people able to answer these questions. He realized that these people were all just victims of the space knights; with this, something suddenly came to mind.


    "Hey! I remember that Can captured my space knights. Where are they?" Tristan quickly asked.


    "Do you mean the four space knights he brought from Vanyar?" the old wizard asked back to confirm.


    "Yes, those four!" Tristan replied without dy.


    "Ah, they are currently locked up in O district''s prison. Can and I have tried to interrogate them, but it seems that they have something that can stop my spell from probing their mind," the old wizard answered, falling into deep thought as he remembered how his spell did not work.


    Hearing this, the corners of Tristan''s mouth curved into a smile. He confidently said, "Fortunately, I''m not that ipetent Can. I can do better."
