A man in the ark was forced to become a king

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't do Cosiche any good.

If the plan fails, everything he has accumulated in the past will disappear, and all the forces will be completely wiped out by the angry emperor. Even if he can rely on magic to survive, the situation in Ursus will become difficult in the future.

On the other hand, if the plan succeeds... Tallulah feels that if she really completes this incredible feat, overthrows the existing order of Ursus, sits on the supreme throne, and puts on the crown, she will also do the same. Dangerous people like Cosiche will not be allowed to continue to exist.

Moreover, even if she would not take action for the sake of the teacher, Cosiche's efforts would not be rewarded, because the emperor would not be bewitched by him, and all his investment in this process of change would be in vain. At most, it will remain in its original position and lose a large part of the power it once had.

Success or failure, Kosiche is a loser from a profit perspective. Under such circumstances, how could he agree to cooperate with the Golden Tree to carry out such a crazy plan?

"What good will it do you?"

If you can't figure it out, just ask the person involved directly. Tallulah thought so and did so.

Lin Lu's avatar disappeared, and Yelena also took the initiative to leave the room after hearing the secret. Now there were only two of them in the room, and there was less worry in their words.

In particular, Tallulah did not expect Kosiche to answer her questions. Under this premise, every answer she got was a profit.

"Benefits? Do you really think that I care about the so-called power and wealth?"

As if she heard some very funny joke, Kasheena laughed out loud and sighed: "Isn't my current posture enough to make you understand?"

"Your layout is still too small, Tallulah. Such a vision is not enough to carry the crown."

"The so-called power is nothing but the control of the upper class over the lower class. The so-called wealth is just an illusion based on false prosperity. From the beginning, they did not exist."

"One day, time will take away those artificially woven concepts, and I will always live as long as I want."

"So, do you think that for an immortal, so-called power and wealth are worth caring about?"

"..."

Tallulah instinctively wanted to refute, because in her past perception, Kosiche was an unscrupulous careerist, and that was the kind of person he should be.

But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the truth seemed to be exactly what Cosich said.

Even if it is immortality based on evil magic, it is still immortality.

No matter how much wealth and power there is, it can only be regarded as insignificant dust in the eternal flow of time. The immortal seed is like a stone pillar standing in the long river of time. It is allowed to be washed away by the river and always stands firm.

To them, the things that the world pursues are just add-ons brought by a long life. They have no value at all, and they don't need to care.

There is no doubt that the Cosich she hates is a genuine immortal species.

So, the problem is back to the original point again.

What exactly does Cosiche want?

"Isn't the answer obvious?"

Kasheena raised a finger, turned her wrist, pointed to the ground beneath her feet, and said quietly: "Every immortal species has its own 'anchor', which is the only thing worth caring about in a long life, and I The anchor point is the land beneath our feet, Ursus."

"I don't care who sits on the throne, or even if it's a human being."

"However, everything can be distinguished after comparison. Now, you are the best choice, so I will choose the best."

"Ursus..."

Vaguely, Tallulah felt as if she had grasped something and had some understanding.

But understanding is understanding, even if she is no longer full of resistance to cooperating with Kosich in the next period of time, how to do it is still a matter worth discussing.

After all, she really has no experience on the road of rebellion.

"You're thinking, what's next?"

Tallulah didn't say anything. As if she had a mind-reading ability, Kasheena directly said what she wanted to say for her, and then asked and answered herself: "Of course, it is the gathering of the army, the absolute superiority of force, that is the birth of all order. Fundamentally, no matter what you want to do, having an army in your hands is the most important thing."

"In addition to the army group on the ice sheet, those three greedy guys still have a lot of things in their hands. It's time to make them pay for their greed."

"You mean, those three great dukes?"

"Yes, it's them."

Pulling out two 'plans' filled with scrawled writings from the messy papers on the table, Kasheena glanced at them for a few times and then threw them back on the table with a relaxed expression.

"The problem you are worried about can be easily solved. Chaos is born from despair, so give them hope. The identity of the Grand Duke is convincing enough."

"As long as you stand high and shout, they will be able to regain their once proud identity, transform from rebels into an army under the Duke, and fight for you."

"Of course, there may be some tricks involved, but don't worry, I will handle those things."

"..."

Kosich was obviously experienced in playing with people's hearts, and Tallulah did not doubt whether he could do it. What concerned her more than this was her position in the entire plan.

'what about me? '

She wanted to ask that.

If she understands it correctly, it seems that what she needs to do next is just to stand there and provide the title of 'Grand Duke' to serve as a background for Cosiche's plan to gather the army?

She was obviously doing something big and crazy, and she was the one who had to hold the most important position. The lack of any sense of participation in the actual experience was somewhat unacceptable.

How is this different from a mascot?

Maybe... I can plan to deal with the problem of the three grand dukes?Consider how to declare war on them...

Tallulah, who felt a little aggrieved, couldn't help but start thinking about what she could do. However, as soon as her idea had an inkling, Kasheena saw through it easily and blocked it.

"Leaving things to the right people is what a qualified leader must learn. Sometimes, you don't have to do it yourself."

"For example, right now, the biggest role you can play is to stand there and provide support and rationality for our actions. Other problems will naturally be solved by professionals."

"Believe me, as long as you keep waiting, you will soon see their heads on your desk."

"You want to kill them directly?"

Tallulah's eyes widened slightly, shocked by this rather radical formal style.

That was the Grand Duke, the person who really stood at the top of the Ursus power pyramid, not just a cat or a dog. In a sense, assassinating them was almost as difficult as assassinating the emperor, let alone assassinating three at once. , No one with normal thinking would have such crazy ideas.

"It's not that I want to kill them, it's that someone needs to borrow their heads to show their sincerity."

"...Northern Legion."

Exhaling a breath, Tallulah slowly read out a name with a complicated expression, and the feeling of a mascot became even stronger.

It seemed that she really didn't have to do anything to be lifted to that position, and the allies who worked together seemed to be terrifyingly strong.

She didn't know much about the Northern Army, but it could be seen from Cosiche's attitude that he didn't think that the three grand dukes could resist the assassination of the Northern Army. One can imagine their strength. .

Taking a closer look, after the chaotic army group was reintegrated and the grand dukes died in assassinations, if you want to sit in that position, the biggest enemy seems to be the current emperor...

This huge empire has allowed them to take whatever they want without even realizing it?

Perhaps, one day in the future, His Majesty the Emperor will suddenly 'die in an accident'...

Just by going through these things in her mind, Tallulah could feel a huge sense of unreality surrounding herself, and frustration came over her like a tide.

It seemed like she really couldn't find her place.

Everything that happened tonight was like when she woke up after a long sleep, the whole world had undergone earth-shaking changes. Even though she had done nothing, everything became very strange and incomprehensible.

In the blink of an eye, she went from being the leader of a small infected organization to a candidate for the emperor. Her allies became stronger and stronger, and she was carried up all the way even though she did nothing.

With such a luxurious configuration, even a pig can be forcibly carried to that throne, right?

Perhaps, the reason why she was chosen to stand in this position was not because of how good she was, what her original intentions were, nor because of her extraordinary talents.

Just because... they don't care.

"That's right, the Northern Army."

Kasheena nodded slightly, and in her words she didn't seem to care at all about the upcoming deaths of the three grand dukes. Her focus was more on the name 'Northern Legion'.

"I have to say that your teachers are really generous. They will never interfere in the internal disputes of Ursus. If this news spreads, the entire Ursus will be thrown into chaos. Even the little emperor on the throne will be confused. It’s hard to sleep and eat well.”

"You probably still don't know what it means for the Northern Army to be on your side, and you don't understand what kind of people they are. If you change the name, it might be easier to understand?"

"The so-called Northern Legion is essentially the former internal guard. Moreover, their experience and strength are much stronger than those currently surrounding the emperor. Gaining their support means that they have mastered half of the emperor's power. authority.”

"That is to say, you now have two of the most elite armies in the empire as your army, you have the support of all the four great dukes, and you have internal guards that are enough to make all officials and nobles fall into fear. Patrolling all directions.”

"At the same time, you also have a strong enough teacher and a golden tree as your backing."

"Ha, when you think about it, you seem to have more than the current emperor. Compared to him, you are more like an emperor in the actual sense."

At the end, Kasheena couldn't help but pause for a moment, a little surprised. She didn't even realize that what they were trying to do was only one step away from success?

It was clearly in the previous plan... When did the change begin?

Soon, she found the answer - the Northern Army!

The joining of the Northern Legion played a vital role. Their presence directly accelerated the development here several times!

In this way, there is no need to wait too long for the actual controller of this huge empire to be changed.

At that time, no matter how reluctant he is, the person in the palace will have to take the initiative to give in and give up the position under his butt.

Of course, he may fight to the end, but the result will not change.

Chapter 272 Say hello to you, Grand Duke

"Everyone, do you really want to do this?"

In the simple camp, three figures wearing black coats and respirators, who looked like copied and pasted figures, sat around the table.

Judging from their appearance, the only way to distinguish them is the weapons they carry, which are divided into three types: sabers, daggers and giant hunting bows.

They were sitting in a tent that was not spacious, and the air around them seemed to be filled with a thin gray mist, which was cold and evil.

"13, what do you think?"

29's signature hoarse voice echoed in the tent. He raised his head and looked at 13, who had several military daggers hanging on the outside of his coat, without any fluctuation in his tone.

"No, I have no objection. In fact, I have already arranged the matter."

13 turned away his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers, with a little hesitation in his tone.

"I'm just wondering if this effort will be rewarded. The Golden Tree... I haven't heard of it. Is their promise reliable?"

The northern border is bitterly cold and the environment is harsh. All supplies rely on Ursus's domestic supplies. Their cooperation with the Golden Tree is simply a gamble with their own future. If they fail to get the promised return, or something else happens. The unexpected incident completely angered the emperor and nobles, and the consequences were simply unimaginable.

Moreover, even if it is cooperation, one should wait until the other party shows sufficient sincerity and strength before taking the next step. Taking the initiative without getting anything like them is not a good idea.

The reason why this arrangement was made was entirely the result of 29 people's decision to overcome the objections of others, and others were not optimistic about it.

"If you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, you can't understand what kind of power it is. It's understandable."

13 was not surprised by 29's hesitation. He knew very well that his own approach was the unreasonable one.

"Do you remember our vows?"

"of course."

13 answered without hesitation, as if the answer had already been imprinted in the depths of his soul and there was no need to think about it.

"We are the sharp blades in the darkness, the guards on the Great Wall, the shields against evil, and the fires of fear. We will build a defense line with our flesh and blood and lives, and we will hold on day and night until we die."

This is not a slogan shouted, but the belief in the heart of every border soldier.

They left their homeland and came to the dark and cold snowfield alone. They abandoned all their past identities and status and became nameless people walking in the dark night, fighting against the most ferocious and terrifying enemies until the end of their lives.

There is no glory, no cheers, all achievements are buried in the never-ending wind and snow.

In the long cold night, only the faith that will never fade supports their fight. No one will forget the oath engraved in the bone marrow.

To this day, countless unknown warriors have fallen on the battlefield against evil spirits. Even though Ursus has undergone several internal changes, even though the warriors have gone through countless cycles from new to old, and from old to new, even if their situation has been the same. It is getting harder and harder day by day, but the light that is buried deep in my heart has not dimmed at all.

"Yes, we will watch in the dark until death."

29's head was lowered, and his hoarse voice was obviously dull.

"But how long can I hold on?"

"The threat of evil spirits is growing day by day, and their minions never stop."

"What about us? The battle in Sunset Canyon changed everything. The once glorious empire has long been decayed, and they have begun to fear the strong shield that has always protected them."

"There are no sufficient supplies, no better equipment, and even the recruitment of personnel is limited. Admit it, the emperor has changed, and the empire has also changed. Now the northern border is just dying slowly. No one knows, we still have How long can I hold on?”

"Death is not scary. Everyone here has the consciousness to die. What is really scary is that everything that countless martyrs stood by collapsed in our hands."

"And that day is not far away."

"I cannot accept that result, and it is impossible to accept it, so we must make changes, even if the price is betrayal."
