Ark's Journey to the Demon God

The leader should be General Herague. He is the same as in the Ark. He has white beard and hair, two strokes of golden-blue feathers on his ears and temples, a strong physique, and a long sword at his waist.

Next to him was Captain Bodrokas, the eight-antlered Wendigo, wearing power armor and holding a giant shield and a halberd.

Behind them were a bald officer and another young officer. These two people were Barclay and Xie Miao. Shen Muke had known them for a long time and had met them in previous offensive and defensive battles.

"Awesome, awesome." Herage broke the silence first and praised from the bottom of his heart:

"I have never seen anyone as young and promising as you. Courage and resourcefulness are perfectly combined in you. It's a pity that you are not from Ursus, otherwise you will definitely be favored by His Majesty... Can you tell me, you His name?"

Shen Muke happily accepted Mr. Herage's compliment, and then said:

"Agaritu, my name is Agaritu. I accept your compliment, General Herague. But I would like to ask you to bring a message to His Majesty in Ursus."

Herage opened his hand and motioned for Shen Muke to speak.

"What is obtained from the battlefield is dirty wealth mixed with blood. This kind of wealth will only corrode people's hearts. Ursus should find his own way forward instead of blindly plundering."

Is it your own way forward?

Herage nodded, he felt that the young man in front of him would not stop here, and would have a broader stage in his future.

After calming down, Heragrand said loudly:

"Usas agreed to withdraw immediately and stop attacking Casimir. The two sides will use Sunset Canyon as the boundary."

call----

Shen Muke let out a long breath, his life-threatening plan finally came true.

The next thing was much simpler. Ursus gathered his people and took away everything that could be taken away. All the injured were carried onto the land carrier. Those who had returned to their hometowns were put into boxes and sat in the warehouse. War, It's finally over.

While the two sides were sorting things out, Bodrokas came over for him. The captain's eyes flashed with wild fighting intent:

"Your thunder is very powerful. If there is a chance in the future, let's compare notes?"

Shen Muke was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He didn't want to see Bozhuo Kasti at all until he gathered three demon gods or his awakening level reached 100%.

What kind of international joke are you kidding? Don’t you know what level you are at?Even a group of internal guards can't handle you!If you still want to spar, you might as well just spar with me, at least it will be fun.

His reaction left Bodrokasti scratching his head and he could only leave in despair.

The war is finally over...

……

"Agaritu!" Sir Cyril's angry voice sounded behind his ears.Shen Muke had no choice but to turn around with a smile and face Cyril directly.

At this moment, Shen Muke seemed to have returned to the time when he got into trouble as a child and faced his angry grandfather.

"Then what, I can explain it, Sir Cyril... It's not that I won't discuss it with you, it's just that this plan is too dangerous. The fewer people involved, the better... What? You mean ore disease? It's okay, I have a special constitution. You can’t catch such an advanced disease!”

After a clumsy explanation, Cyril calmed down his emotions, and then he said to Shen Muke seriously:

"Thank you, Agaritu."

"Eh? Why are you so serious all of a sudden..."

"We can't win this battle without you."

Cyril sighed. Along the way, the laughing young man in front of him was burdened with too much. He let his hands be stained with blood. He was burdened with the sin of causing death. Even if it had nothing to do with him, he Still, he stood up resolutely, just to save this corrupt Casimir who was invaded.

Cyril once felt that the decline of chivalry was inevitable, but when he saw Agaritu, he felt that he was wrong. Knights have not disappeared. In this world, there are still noble people who sacrifice their lives!

"Your Excellency Cyril is not angry with me anymore?"

"Angry?" Cyril shook his head with a smile and said, "Why should I be angry? You helped us win the war, I should be happy."

Huh...that's good.

Originally, Shen Muke was worried that Cyril would raise an army to investigate, but in reality, his behavior could be said to be ignoring military orders, and even going to a military court would be regarded as a lighter punishment.

"But just because I'm not angry doesn't mean that others aren't angry." Cyril changed the subject and walked away.

Behind him are the red-eyed Silver Spear Pegasus——

"Agaritu! You guy..."

"Do you know how we feel about making such a dangerous decision without authorization?"

"We would rather fall on the battlefield with you than die alone!!"

Gawain's eyes filled with tears, and he said angrily: "We have been with you through life and death, but you didn't even tell us about such a big thing. You really didn't treat us as your comrades!"

"No, that's what...Everyone, I can explain..." Shen Muke cried out, dumbfounded.

What do you mean by not telling you? Didn’t I tell Sir Cyril?You bully the weak and are afraid of picking on the weak, right? !

Then Shen Muke was lifted up by a group of people, and then watched helplessly as he rushed towards the thickest pillar in the fortress——

That day, Shen Muke understood what dangers are in the world...

No.16 The Crown of Righteousness

On October 1062, 10 in the Terran calendar, the sun rose as usual.

Cyril has already sent a battle report to the Grand Knight, but unlike the previous request for help, this time he is reporting the news of victory.

经过西里尔临光和众多银枪天马骑士的统计，从九月份入驻要塞以来，银枪天马共击杀乌萨斯百战精锐438人、突击手1208人、炮兵104人、战争术士923人、步兵2531人、外加萨卡兹雇佣兵532人和各类无人机3000余架。

On our own side, we only suffered 21 serious injuries and 18 minor injuries. Compared with the opponent's battle losses, they were simply not worth mentioning.

Looking at this battle report, Shen Muke felt dazed even though he was the one who fought the battle.

There is no cheating like this. 80 people blocked two armies of Ursus for a month and still achieved such military exploits. Who can believe it without personal experience?

"Agaritu." Cyril put down the transmitter in his hand, raised his head and said, "We should talk."

Shen Muke nodded. He understood what Cyril meant. After going through so many things, it was time for him to make some explanations.

The two of them walked to a quiet place, and Cyril took out two crumpled cigarettes - "Thank you, Sir Cyril, I won't touch this stuff." "Who said I would give it to you? I'll smoke two, Isn’t it okay?”

Shen Muke smiled helplessly, then stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. A short burst of electricity lit the cigarette, and Cyril took a puff.

"The war is over. Have you considered what to do next? Are you still going to be a messenger?"

"Your Excellency Cyril, please stop joking."

Shen Muke smiled bitterly and said, "You have already seen that I am not a messenger at all."

"I think so. If I asked you to deliver the letter, you would probably be struck by lightning on the way." Cyril joked with a smile. He discovered the biggest joy in Agaritu - this kid usually dares to say anything, but You have nothing to say when facing respected elders!

Seeing Shen Muke scratching his head and scratching his head for a while without knowing what to say, Lao Tianma felt secretly happy.

"Okay." Old Tianma took another breath and said:

"Although I don't know your origin, I think you will tell me when the time is right, right?"

"Yes, Sir Cyril, please forgive me, I can't tell you my origin yet..."

Shen Muke felt very uncomfortable. He didn't want to hide the truth from Cyril, who had been through life and death, but he still had many unresolved problems. There were still too many questions about the [Empire of Consciousness], and traveling through it by himself was a big pitfall, so before he figured it out, It is best that no one knows the identity of the time traveler.

"Your spells are those thunders, not your Origin Stone skills, right?"

Lao Tianma is very keen. He has long noticed that Shen Muke does not rely on a staff when using thunder and lightning. You must know that Rutland's gunslingers still need to use guns as staffs.

"You are right, Sir Cyril, this is a little [talent] of mine."

"Really? That's really enviable." Lao Tianma finished the cigarette in his hand and then lit another one.

"I sent a battle report. After those people in the rear receive it, they will probably send people to take over the fortress soon, right?"

Cyril's dissatisfaction with the Supervisory Committee, the Chamber of Commerce, and the National Council in the rear was palpable.They were fighting for their lives on the front line, and the bugs in the rear were making a lot of money, so they couldn't call for support. As soon as the victory report was announced, they would all rush over, and all kinds of monsters and monsters would come over to get in on the heat.

"Agaritu, I actually envy you. You are not from this country. When you are tired of those bastards, you can choose to leave and find a better place to live..."

Cyril stared into the distance, the plains of Casimir beneath the sun

It is so beautiful, the golden sunshine reflects on the wasteland, and the gunpowder smoke in the distance has dissipated, leaving only the verdant grassland and bustling streams.

"But we can't. We grew up in this land. We are knights. We are born to dedicate everything to Casimir. Our end will only come on the battlefield."

"No, Sir Cyril, Casimir is not an isolated case." Shen Muke shook his head, "This land repeats disputes and chaos every moment, and Casimir's current chaos is just a microcosm... No creature on this earth can survive alone.”

After Shen Muke said this, he was stunned. Why did he become so sentimental?And why is the style of these words the same as that of the green lynx?

"Oh, strife is just greed." Cyril took a puff of his cigarette. "Everything is nothing more than the desires of carnivores. They already have a lot, but they never feel enough."

"So knights are needed, Lord Cyril. Casimir can never lose a knight, a true knight."

"Now, how many real knights are there?" Cyril looked to the horizon. In that direction, several flags seemed to appear... The "knights" who took over the fortress came.

It came quickly, as if they had been ready to go, as if they had expected today's victory.

"Oh, the bugs are here to eat the leftovers."

Cyril sneered, all this was like a lame comedy, the heroes fought the whole game, and then the enforcers arrived belatedly.

The script is cliché, but it always works.

"I always think that if everything is arranged by gods, then gods must be vulgar things without much ink."

"If there really is a god, then He should wave his hand and wipe away every moment of suffering on this land, so that there will be no more wars." Shen Muke stood up. Before the arrival of the Casimir knights, he had to make some preparations. , after all, he was not from Casimir but participated in this war. He had to think of a suitable enough reason to deal with his problems.

"Agaritu." Cyril stopped him, "Isn't this your real name? Can you tell me your real name?"

"Shen Muke, Sir Cyril, my name is Shen Muke."

"It's a strange pronunciation. I'd better call you Agaritu. It's smoother." Shen Muke was helpless, and then he reminded: "Your Excellency Cyril, we have to destroy those machines." Those machines guarding the city are the technology of the devil. , they cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the Supervisory Committee or the Commercial Federation, because Shen Muke also knows very well that in addition to defending the city, these machines can also be used to attack the city with simple modifications. Casimir is not a peaceful sheep. In order to prevent Those meat-eaters start a war in their head, so we cannot leave it to them.

However, Shen Muke left a copy of those drawings to Old Pegasus. Silver Spear Pegasus was worthy of entrustment. By handing these to Cyril, Casimir had an extra insurance policy.

From beginning to end, Shen Muke never fought for Casimir. Casimir was not great enough to let a foreigner like him throw his life and blood like this.He fought for justice, for ordinary people like Casimir...

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The melodious horn sounded, Casimir's knights came to the back door of the fortress, and the iron gate slowly opened.

huh~~

The extremely strong smell of blood hit their faces, and the air was filled with the stench of gunpowder smoke and ashes. Such an environment put them off.

However, since they are here, they must at least complete the task of the Grand Knight Commander. The leading knight waved his hand and motioned for everyone to enter.

So, after pushing and shoving, several knights finally settled in the fortress and climbed onto the tower——

Then he saw the mess outside the city.

"Regiment... Captain." A young knight stammered: "Down below, down below..."

"Ah? Why are you so panicked? They are all obviously dead."

Gawain on the side said with a strange expression. "Ahem, cough, cough." Knowing that his men were not courageous enough, the regiment leader had to interrupt: "Everyone, we have brought the Grand Knight Commander's commendation order, certificate of honor, and medals. Please show your face and put on all your clothes. Change it."

The requirements of the Grand Knight Commander are very clear. If you have won a battle, you should have a medal, and you should embellish it with bright clothes, so that you can have the feeling of "returning to your hometown in splendor" when you return home. Otherwise, you will go back in disgrace, and people will think you are wrong when you see them. The front line was defeated and lost.

"Silver Spear Pegasus doesn't need these. The Lord Knight Commander accepted it with his kindness." Cyril walked out. The old Pegasus was still wearing the battle-damaged armor riddled with holes. "Your Excellency Cyril, what the Grand Knight Commander means is..."

"I don't care what he means!" Cyril interrupted him seriously and said sternly:

"Don't forget that you haven't taken over the fortress yet, the victory ceremony hasn't been held yet, it's still wartime, and Silver Spear Pegasus is still the master of this fortress!"

He leaned down and stared at the leader with his eyes:

"Put away your little tricks that are as good as gold but not as good as they are. Silver Spear Pegasus doesn't need your care."

"Yes...yes, Your Excellency." Cyril stood up straight, and then pulled Shen Muke over while watching the show. "This boy, named Agaritu, is Sami's natural disaster messenger. He volunteered to join the war out of justice. Thanks to him in this battle, we were able to hold the fortress. His contribution is just as great as mine. Do you understand what I mean? ?”

Shen Muke was very embarrassed. He was pulled by Cyril before he could think about his identity.

When I arrived on stage, I was introduced directly to the "officials".

"I understand, I understand." The other party nodded hurriedly. I understand, foreign volunteers, I understand. Just go back and apply for an additional medal from the Grand Knight Commander. This matter will be easy to handle.

The Silver Spear Pegasus and the blacksmiths climbed onto the beasts of burden. Their mission was completed and they were leaving the fortress. The next thing would be left to those who took over to worry about.

"Your Excellency Cyril." Shen Muke shouted and pulled the reins of the beast of burden. He didn't want to go to the Grand Knight's Headquarters or participate in any medal ceremony. These things were useless and boring, so he wanted to leave.

"You can't leave." Cyril understood what Shen Muke meant, and the two of them had developed a tacit understanding in the past few days.

"If we win, we should go back and accept all the praise and rewards, even if they are mixed with the whispers of insects and jackals... Only in this way can our successors not be disheartened."

I understand, in the story of Zigong’s redemption, good people are entitled to rewards.

Shen Muke nodded and followed the team.

……

The Great Knights are experiencing unprecedented excitement today. Nine consecutive Uka wars have ended with Casimir's complete defeat. But this time, Casimir finally achieved a rare victory, although this victory was still essentially a victory for Casimir. It’s a loss, but at least it’s much better than the fall of Zvonek!
