Ark's Journey to the Demon God

This film woman will stop the careerists who covet Victoria at all costs, even if she has to sacrifice herself.
As for the rest of us... let's let the era end together.
"Good day, Your Majesty!"
The Dukes stood at the foot of the steps, bowing to the old Lion King!
No matter how rebellious the Dukes feel in their hearts, at least for now, while the old Lion King is still around, they don't dare to make any mistakes openly.
No one wants to be known as a rebellious monarch. After all, most dukes hope that one day they can ascend the seat in front of them.
These people only think about fighting for power and gain.
The old lion king said calmly: "My dear friends, Victoria is facing the greatest humiliation in history. We already know that Rem Billiton has been lost."
The expressions of the Dukes turned gloomy. No matter how they fought for fame and wealth, or how ambitious they were, the fall of Rembilton had shaken their common interests. The loss of the vast land and rich mines made the Dukes feel abnormal. of regret.
"Your Majesty, please order us to gather our old allies and expedition to Kazdaele. The shame we suffered on the battlefield can only be washed away on the battlefield!"
Kester took a step forward and said.
"I thought so too, Cester."
The old Lion King calmly shook his head and said, "But it is no longer possible to assemble the old alliance."
He looked at Wellington and Cavendish. According to both of them, the alliance led by Victoria had collapsed.
In the past, the coalition expedition to Kazdaele. At that time, the coalition forces included Gaul, Casimir, Ursus, Letania, and Victoria.
However, as time passed, Gaul was destroyed, and Casimir and Ursus fell into a long struggle. As for Laitania... it can be seen from the fact that the Victoria Army was stopped by the Laitannians last year and had to take a detour. It was no longer possible for Letania to be traveling with Victoria.
When the Dukes and the King looked around, they were surprised to find that Victoria had no allies to accompany her? !
"Gentlemen, at this stage, it seems that we can only rely on ourselves."
The old lion king said calmly: "I wonder which of you is willing to lead an expedition to Kazdaele?"
Expedition to Kazdaele?
The Dukes were silent, pondering the pros and cons of this move.
In the long run, if Rem Billiton can be taken back, or if we can destroy Kazdaele today, then the rewards Victoria can get are unimaginable.
Since Agaritu's live broadcasts, people in half the continent have seen Victoria's current weakness, and at this juncture, a war to prove its strength is necessary.
But when it comes to sending troops, the dukes all have their own scruples.
The dukes all have similar ideas, and they all want to sit in that position, but the problem is that if they take the lead in sending troops, they will undoubtedly suffer the greatest losses.
When all the trump cards in his hand are exposed, will he still have a chance?
The Duke of Cumberland looked at the people at the foot of the stairs, with only contempt in his heart at the moment.
This is the so-called pillar of Victoria, these are the great people who protect Victoria. In the face of interests and power, they have no concept of glory and ideals!
"Your Majesty, I can lead the army for Victoria!"
Duke Wellington took a step forward and said: "My brother, Charles Wellington, can sacrifice himself for Victoria, and so can I."
There is no reason to simply talk about interests, so you start talking about favors?
The Duke of Wellington bowed and said: "I can lead my soldiers to recapture our pearl for Victoria, but Your Majesty, war is not a child's play, so..."
"Please tell me, Lord Wellington." The old Lion King said with a smile: "What does Victoria need to provide for the brave warriors?"
"Rem Billiton, Your Majesty, all we need is the land soaked in our blood." Duke Wellington said calmly: "Our soldiers need that land to comfort our heroic spirits."
"The land belongs to the country." The old Lion King shook his head and said, "It is impossible for me to give the land to you, Mr. Wellington."
"But I can give you the taxes and minerals as if it's for your brother."
The old lion king opened his hand and said: "Everyone here is the same, I promise to give you half of the minerals and taxes on that piece of land that you have recaptured!"
"Your Majesty is wise!!"
The dukes bowed sincerely, and they were pleasantly surprised by the king's generosity. At this moment, the top floor of Victoria achieved unprecedented unity!
Chapter 46 The Demon Returns to Victoria
Victoria, just outside Londinium.
After many years
, when Shen Muke set foot on this land again, he did not see any big changes here.
Londinium is still as busy as it was back then. The dull sound of steam and gear teeth makes people frown unconsciously. There are homeless people and unemployed people everywhere on the roads on both sides of the street.
This is Londinium, the capital of the great Victoria, but there is no trace of happiness or beauty, only painful... life.
Shaking his head, Shen Muke walked into the central city. He changed his appearance so that he would not be recognized by the Victorians. After all, in a sense, he was a "big star"!
He walked into Valerie's Cake Shop with ease and ordered a pastry and coffee just like before.
The young store manager sat across from him and greeted Shen Muke with a smile: "Hello, sir. From the look of you, this shouldn't be your first time here?"
Shen Muke nodded with a smile and said, "The last time I came here was in 1072."
15 years ago?
The store manager scratched his head and said, "That's really... no wonder I don't recognize you."
The store manager looked at the decoration of the store and the flowers in front of the counter, and said: "If you have been here 15 years ago, my parents were running this store at that time. A few years ago, they felt that running a store was too much. When I was tired, I passed the store on to me.”
"So your parents, they are now..."
"In the countryside, they went to the countryside of Xiaoqiu County. It was a pretty good place with a good climate and environment... Hehe, you know that although Londinium can make some money, it is not a place to live after all. .”
The younger brother pointed to the dim glass and said, "When I work in this place, I'm afraid that my internal organs will be filled with Origin Stone and steam."
"Hahahaha..." Shen Muke said with a smile: "So, you must dislike this city very much?"
"It's not about whether you like it or not..." The little brother shook his head. He got close to Shen Muke's face and whispered: "Can't you tell? In fact, strictly speaking, I should be a Tara person!"
Tara people?
Shen Muke raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you say this?"
The little brother looked around and said, "I see that you are very compatible, so I will tell you about my family. My mother turns out to be a Gauls!"
"She came from a merchant family in Gaul. Later, as you know, Gaul is gone...she followed her family to Xiaoqiu County."
"My father is a native of Tara. He married my mother and I was born."
"Because the appearance of the Gallic film was very similar to that of the Victoria film, our family opened a shop in Londinium and settled down with this look."
Listening to the struggle history of his family, Shen Muke felt amazed. He suddenly said: "Brother, are you really okay with telling me this? In my impression, Londinium should be very repulsive to the Tara people. ?Aren’t you afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, sir." The younger brother smiled and refilled Shen Muke's cup of coffee and said, "Because you won't report me."
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course!" The little brother pointed to his eyes and said, "I don't have any special abilities, but I just have a pair of bright eyes!"
"Sir, I can use Source Stone skills to determine whether a person has malicious intentions."
"Is there such an Origin Stone skill?" Shen Muke raised an eyebrow. It seems that the strength of the natives of Terra should not be underestimated...
boom! !
boom! boom! boom!
Several gunshots broke the peaceful atmosphere. Shen Muke looked out the window. He was surprised to see a tall figure wearing a gray hat and a black combat trench coat descending from the sky. He was holding a large-caliber weapon in his hand. Sharp-edged blunderbuss.
Gray hat?
Is this the gray hat of the Duke of Cester?
Shen Muke's eyes widened. He pointed at the gray hat in the distance and said, "Brother, that is..."
"That's what you're asking?" The younger brother pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "They are here to recruit soldiers."
"conscription?"
"You are not from Londinium, are you?" The little brother whispered: "Some time ago, the land of our Rembito was robbed by the Sakaz people. It is said that the king was very angry and summoned the Duke of the Empire overnight. Let's enter Londinium and let the big guys send troops to Kazdaele..."
"But you also know how good the grand dukes are. They don't want to go to the battlefield with their own legions!"
The little brother pointed to the gray hat in the distance and said: "So, the Grand Duke of Cester, she sent her subordinates to collect materials from the local area... They captured many infected people outside the city and wanted to send them to the battlefield. cannon fodder…"
The little brother shook his head and said: "Well, to be honest, Rem Billiton can't keep the land at all, not to mention that Agaritu who led the army has proved that Rem Billiton's people They are not of the same mind as Victoria at all, they would rather follow Sakaz than us... Doesn’t this explain the problem? "
"In the final analysis, it's not that the nobles are reluctant to part with the mines there..."
"But if Victoria finally takes back Rem Billiton, won't Victorians also benefit?"
"Will you benefit from it?" The little brother stared and said, "How can such a good thing happen? Don't you read newspapers and news?"
"Do you think how much source stone and food Rem Billiton produces every year? But the lives of ordinary people in Victoria have changed? That's not the case!"
"Yes, it is indeed a good thing that Victoria is strong, but the key point is that all this wealth is in the hands of those parliamentary gentlemen. To this day, that's all we are."
Listening to the brother's complaints, Shen Muke smiled and said nothing. He watched the gray hat open a drain and grabbed an...Annie? !
Shen Muke stared wide-eyed at the film girl wearing the wizard hat. Although her figure was completely different from before, her stubborn eyes had not changed at all!
It's Anne from the Witchwood!She was caught! !
Shen Muke took out a few banknotes, put them on the table, and said, "No need to look for me, brother."
The little brother watched Shen Muke put on his coat, quickly walked out of the store, and then stood in front of Gray Hat!
"Eh?! Sir, don't..."
Zheng——
Before he finished speaking, the cello surrounding Shen Muke began to shine. The clanging sound of the piano shook the gray hat's hand away in an instant.
Dang!
The gun was released, and Gray Hat subconsciously looked at Shen Muke, but it was too late.
The silver ring creates a palace of music and magic. In front of the king, Gray Hat has no choice but to bow down.
Annie stood there stunned, feeling that the scene in front of her seemed familiar.
"Good morning, little witch." Shen Muke regained his appearance, smiled and picked up Annie who fell on the ground, and said, "Why are you still being bullied after so many years?"
"Aga...Ritu?!" Annie looked at Shen Muke in surprise. The next second, she hugged Shen Muke's neck and snuggled into the devil's arms just like she did back then.
"Don't be afraid, Annie, I'm back."
Chapter 47 Witch Grove and Gray Wings
Gray Hat's strong inner defense was not strong in front of the devil. Shen Muke only released a little of Bris's power, but he had to bow down as slumped as he faced the king.
Shen Muke nodded calmly. He realized that the commotion here would soon attract attention, and he must not stay here for long.
"Little witch? We have to go see Chief Arianna and show me the way."
"Ugh... let's go forward first."
Shen Muke nodded, picked up Annie and walked forward.
It was really an unexpected joy to see Annie again. You must know that Shen Muke has been used to separation and acquaintance during his decades of walking around the world. In comparison, reunion after a long separation becomes rare.
Holding the marshmallow-like little witch in Shen Muke's arms, he felt that she was worthy of being a film. Even the touch and temperature were so...catlike.
What Shen Muke didn't know was that as a film girl whose youthfulness had gradually faded, Annie had inevitably felt a hint of... shyness and joy when she was held in his arms.
Feeling the rising body temperature of the girl in his arms, Shen Muke raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with you, Annie? Why did you suddenly..."
"Ah!! It's okay, it's okay! I'm okay!!"
Annie struggled to escape from Shen Muke's arms. She shook her head dizzily and said, "I'm not injured...let me go by myself!"
Strange girl...
Shen Muke looked at this little girl who was very different from more than ten years ago, and was filled with emotion.
I remembered that when I first met her, this little witch was just a childish child. She broke into her villa at night and wanted to bring herself, the "suspect", to justice.
Fortunately, everything turned out to be a misunderstanding in the end, and the kidnapped little girl Ye Yan was rescued, and everyone was happy.
Shen Muke followed Annie, looking at the girl's growing figure... Let me go, if this was placed in the Ark, it would probably have to be five-star strength, right?
Hey, that's not okay to say. After all, the strength of a five-star warlock is only so much... Then let's go to six-star. At least there is a guarantee. After all, there must be a bottom line no matter how high the six-star level is, right?
Do you think so, Siye? ( ̄▽ ̄)
