Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Don't hesitate, don't hesitate, Sammy's will exists in our hearts and will illuminate our way forward until the blazing sun illuminates the earth again."

Timit opened the door curtain. In the square of the settlement, Sami dancers held scimitars and torches. They danced when the sun rose to bid farewell to the snow priests on the expedition. When the double moon appeared in the sky, the snow priests Our battle will begin.

"Let's go, Enxiodis. We all have our own battles and things we have to do, so don't be confused and move forward. One day, we will reach the other side."

Chapter 40 The Road to Sakaz

In March 1086 of the Terra Calendar, the Duke of Wellington and the Duke of Cavendish led their legions to fight against Sakaz on the northwest plain of Kazdaele. They encountered heroic resistance from the Sakaz army, and Manfred's formation was defeated. As a steam knight, Victoria's army was delayed, so the doctor sent Ascalon to break into the enemy's left flank and annihilate more than [-] Victoria's people.

The secretary of the banshee clan wrote these sentences on the chaotic battlefield. In front of her, the Victoria land speeder flying the red dragon and lion flags rumbled, and the soldiers retreated like a tide.

This is already the third time that our side has defeated the attack of the Victoria Army. Although the writing is very simple, only by being on the scene can we understand the horror of war.

Not all wars can be played on the screen like the expeditionary force's liberation of Rem Billiton. In other words, the Sakaz who followed Agaritu are considered outliers among the Kazdaeles.

They are too civilized.

The Sakaz have never been a gentle race. Their life of drinking blood and wandering has made them more barbaric. Just like scavengers eating their enemies alive on the battlefield, the blood demons swept across the land, leaving only one enemy wherever they passed. With such a skeletal frame, this can only be described as a gentle and drizzle scene... with such strange methods as that of a lich, it is even more disgusting to think about.

Imagine that you are on the battlefield, facing a group of strangely strong guys with severed heads on their waists and their bodies covered with the blood of their comrades...

All I can say is that everyone in Victoria has been able to hold on until now because of their excellent military literacy!

The images of the battlefield on the Kazdare front line were also transmitted to Shen Muke. At this time, he had returned from Ursus. In the empire of consciousness, he saw that Alina and Talulah had met, and the established gears had begun. Turn and feel relieved.

Alina is the most important part of Tallulah's growth. Some of her qualities are actually more valuable than Tallulah's. There is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to remain the same after seeing the truth of life clearly. Love it.

Alina is a mortal, a pure mortal. She doesn't even know how to fight. In terms of force, she can't defeat even any trained soldier.

But this does not mean that she is not important. She is the political commissar of the integration movement!

Tallulah's integration movement went astray, and ninety-nine times it was because Alina was killed.

The prophecy of the Black Snake came true on Alina back then, which was also the main reason why Tallulah went completely crazy.

If a person loses confidence in something, then no matter how much knowledge or great ideals he has, it will be of no use.

So Shen Muke had a backup plan. He connected Alina's consciousness through Tallulah's consciousness and sent Vasak out.

Your noble son Vasak,

This demon with the power of revelation has recently been fully awakened by Shen Muke. He has become an extension of Shen Muke's authority, and has also become the shadow that protects Tallulah and Alina.

The few years Tallulah and Alina lived together were a complement to Tallulah's past personality. Only by leaving the Black Snake and the upper echelons of Ursus could Tallulah truly understand the suffering at the bottom.

This is the role of Alina.

Everything in Ursus was on the right track for the time being. Shen Muke just had to wait patiently, wait for Tallulah to transform, and wait for the integration movement to be established.

When the integration movement is established, he will be able to break away from Kazdaele and truly build a big one!

That's right, he wants to use the integration movement as a springboard to build a country for the proletarians on Terra!

At that time, he will activate the layout of all the past: Ursus, Victoria, Letania, Syracuse, Colombia, Casimir, Kjerag, Sami and Kazdaele!

This is the so-called "world revolution" proposed by a certain revolutionary. He took the integration movement as the main body and spread it to the whole world!

"This time the integration movement... won't have as many people as in the plot..."

Shen Muke smiled and nodded. After so many years, is this day finally coming?

This is really... so exciting!

"Sir? Sir!"

"Ah? Oh oh oh, what's wrong?"

Shen Muke put away his smile, looked at Hedley in front of him and said, "What's the matter, Hedley?"

"Sir, why are you staring at the screen and giggling?"

"Ahem, cough, it's nothing." Shen Muke coughed awkwardly: "It's nothing, I thought of something happy..."

happy thing?

Hedley looked at Shen Muke suspiciously, wondering if his husband was too busy at work and was under too much stress, right?

Shen Muke saw that Hedley's idea was not polite, and he complained dissatisfiedly——

What to enjoy?What's wrong with laughing at the screen?Didn’t you see Eureka live broadcast?In the future, when you serve as a slicing man and beat rice for others, you will be happier than me!

"Ahem, Hedley, you...do you have anything to do with me?" Shen Muke was changing the subject...

"Ah, yes, sir, I brought you a manuscript."

Honest Hedley's attention was successfully diverted!

Shen Muke took it with a smile, and then saw the words on it:

"History of the Sakaz War"

"History of the Sakaz War?"

"Yes, sir." Hedley nodded and said, "You said that remembering history can help us make fewer mistakes, so I just diverged..."

"Sarkaz is different from many races. Our historical memory can be passed down with blood and consciousness. Therefore, we do not revise history."

"But I thought about it for a long time and thought it wasn't good."

Hedley shook his head and said: "The Sakaz people will always remember the bloody history of humiliation. This history allows us to unite together, but as the blood is passed down, this historical burden becomes more and more heavy. However, Most Sakaz people just don't have much culture..."

"Without culture, there is no ability to think rationally. Then after accepting history, what the Sakaz people get is not introspection but hatred. I think this is wrong!"

"So, you wrote this book?" Shen Muke raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, sir." Hedley nodded and said: "I wrote this book to let the Sakaz people know that we remember history to strengthen ourselves and so that we will no longer be bullied. Let us bully others in the name of victims!"

"Very good, Hedley, very good!" Shen Muke praised without reservation: "If every Sakazian can be like you, then Kazdaele will stand firm!"

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do..." Hedley looked at the screen on the side, where the scavengers swallowed a soldier who put down his weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

If he were here in the expeditionary force, this soldier would probably survive.

“Separate the ugly imperial predators from the driven and deceived common man.”

These are Mr. Agaritu’s exact words.

A surrendered prisoner should never be killed in this way.

The Sakaz people still can’t tell what the enemy is.

Chapter 41 Rem Billiton’s Road

The problem of Sakaz cannot be solved by just relying on an aid campaign.

Even if the Sakaz people find their way, they will still face many challenges in the future.

"But now that we are done, let's have a meeting first and let's summarize the experiences and lessons learned during this period."

Shen Muke said with a smile.

……

In the conference room, Rem Billiton and the senior officials of the expeditionary force gathered together.

Speaker Bakalite was extremely satisfied with the performance of the expeditionary force so far. He recognized the strength of the expeditionary force and admired Shen Muke's character, so he wrote a special article praising the expeditionary force.

Shen Muke calmly accepted the praise, and then began to criticize his own mistakes.

"Since our expedition, the results have indeed been amazing, but there are still some mistakes that cannot be ignored."

Shen Muke pointed out the window and said: "Some of our comrades do not obey orders during combat and only know how to charge forward blindly. This is not acceptable."

Shen Muke calmly spread his hands and said: "Fighting bravely, of course

It's a good thing, but disobeying orders and just charging blindly is reckless behavior and unacceptable. "

"Hedley?"

"I am here, sir."

"Let our comrades pay attention to this issue."

"No problem, sir."

Shen Muke nodded and said, "Then, the next topic is about our strategy for the next period of time."

Shen Muke stretched out his hand and waved it forward. On the table in front of him, the divine movement of sand and water converged into the sand table of Rem Billiton.

On the sand table, more than half of Rem Billiton had already hoisted Sakaz's black flag and Rem Billiton's rabbit flag.

"We have gained an absolute advantage, and now our complete victory is inevitable, but..."

Shen Muke pointed to the corner of Rem Billiton, which is the mobile city where Governor Charles is located, and said: "We obviously underestimated the younger brother of the Duke of Wellington. Charles is not a pure idler, he still has some skills in housework. .”

At the beginning of 1086, after Sakaz and Carters captured half of Rem Billiton, Charles Wellington, who realized that the situation was not good, did not know whether he had received some divine revelation or his battle-experienced His brother gave him some advice... In short, he changed his approach.

Originally, the Victoria Army's strategy against the expeditionary force was to stick to the city. They set up positions outside the city, waited for the expeditionary force to come, and then played their part and waited for work.

However, this kind of dull tactics is nothing to the expeditionary army. The so-called sincerity is the greatest sure-kill skill. The expeditionary army can beat one Victoria and two Victorias. Relying on Shen Muke's divine network and the equipment of the Demon God Legion , the Victorians simply could not withstand the attack.

Then, Charles took a different approach.

For the first time, Charles asked all the Victoria Legion to separate military facilities, land carriers, core cities, etc. from the mobile city itself, and then took away all the supplies and started to play the obscene route!

In other words, it’s guerrilla warfare!

It has to be said that this is a tactic that makes Shen Muke's eyes shine. If it were Shen Muke himself, he would never have thought of such a ruthless strategy.

Charles took away almost all the supplies, but left the Rembiton people, who were not of the same mind as him, with the expeditionary force. In other words, he left his baggage to the expeditionary force, and on his own he drove away with fast combat equipment such as landing ships. Out into the wilderness!

"We still underestimate the survival desire of an old-school nobleman. Thanks to him, almost all of our attention is currently focused on recovering the city and its people, which gives him a chance."

Shen Muke shook his head and said: "Our initial strategy was to pursue the ultimate quick resolution and solve the problem before Victoria had time to rush to help Rem Billiton. If Charles could be captured alive or killed, then most of the problem would be solved. .”

"But it can't be done now." Hedley shook his head and said, "Even if I use my authority to find Charles and kill him now, it will be of no use."

The most extreme way a commander can protect himself is not to make himself extremely important, but to make himself the least important.

This is what Charles is doing now. He has broken all the teams into pieces and turned the entire army group in his hand into more than a dozen guerrilla forces. They are scattered in the wilderness. With the strength of the expeditionary force, they will only be trapped in endless running.

"Our attributes and thinking have now become Charles's trump card." Shen Muke pointed out: "He knows that we will not give up on those people in the mobile city, so he deliberately did this to overwhelm us, and he also did it for his brother The Duke of Wellington bought time."

"Then, according to Mr. Agaritu, we should now..."

Shen Muke smiled and said: "Guerrilla fighting is a special skill of revolutionaries. How high is Charles Wellington to be worthy of fighting guerrillas with us?"

Logos raised his eyebrows and said: "Then it will be according to Mr.'s wishes..."

"Guerrilla~ must have a mass base." Shen Muke clapped his hands and said: "Many comrades have fallen in the expeditionary force so far, and now, in response to the new situation, it is time to increase the number of personnel."

"Hedley, Logos, and Hamil, I grant you three the power to recruit soldiers. You three can find people with lofty ideals from Rem Billiton who are willing to join us... Of course, the necessary assessments cannot be less, and it is best to have accepted them. The kind we provide theoretical education.”

"clear."

"Speaker Bakalet?" Shen Muke said suddenly.

"Ah, I'm here. What's the matter with Mr. Agaritu?"

"Right now, Rem Billiton's situation is stable and improving. I feel like it's time for Rem Billiton to establish an army independent of the expeditionary force?" Shen Muke said with a smile: "We are not Rem Billiton after all. People. The only one who can protect Rem Billiton for a long time is Rem Billiton."

As the saying goes, it’s better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. Don’t forget that you are also a human being.

Speaker Bakalet was a little surprised. He felt strange for no reason.

As a neighbor of Kazdaele, especially a big country with vast territory and rich products like Rem Billiton, if the military strength is too strong... wouldn't it be a threat to Kazdaele?

Shen Muke said calmly: "Speaker Bakalet, you may not quite understand the concept of [aid]. The so-called aid may sometimes have evil intentions, and there are conflicts between countries.

In a relationship, whoever helps you may control you. "

"Today Kazdale helped Rem Billiton, and tomorrow Kazdale may make many unreasonable demands to Rem Billiton because of this. At this time, Rem Billiton's own weapons will become important."

Shen Muke's voice was very small, but the shock was not small at all.

Hamil and Bakalet looked at Shen Muke in astonishment, while Hedley and Logos were very calm.

Shen Muke shook his head and said: "Countries and countries, people and people are not only connected by ideas and goals, but more often, we use interests to divide everything."

"We are sitting here today, we can drink and chat, and we can keep moving forward for our ideals, but future generations and those who sit and enjoy our achievements will not have our great ideals today, because they are the ones sharing the cake, not the The cake maker.”

Bakalet was stunned for a long time before he stood up and bowed to Shen Muke with a serious face.

Shen Muke calmly accepted the gratitude. At this moment, the venue was silent.

Chapter 42 Amiya

At night, Shen Muke sat in his study and reviewed his recent actions.
