Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Did you not come back in time, or did you go out temporarily to avoid trouble?"

pat!

The rough cup fell from his hands and fell on the table, splashing more than half of the wine in the cup.

"You..." Village Chief Ivan looked at Tallulah and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Village Chief Ivan, what time is it now?" Alina suddenly asked a question.

Village Chief Ivan subconsciously looked at the wall clock on the wall. This action exposed everything about him.

I have just looked at my watch, but now I have to take another look...

"You are waiting for someone, right?" Tallulah said calmly: "Looking at the wall clock is not to know the time, but to see when the person waiting will arrive."

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand..."

"There's no need to hide it, Village Chief Ivan." Tallulah took off the long sword from her waist, put it on the table, and said: "Of course they are the pickets, Village Chief, are you waiting for them? It's a pity that they are so big The probability is gone.”

wow-

Old Ivan stood up abruptly. He looked at Tallulah and Alina in front of him in horror, and at the sword hilt resting on the table.

"Don't be nervous, Village Chief Ivan." Alina reassured: "We won't do anything to you..."

"What won't you do?!" Old Ivan stared. In the face of despair, his fear gave rise to anger. He pointed at the two of them and said: "What won't you do? You just sit here and let me Feel scared! What did you say? What didn’t you do? Oh, is this what you all said before dealing with your enemies?!"

"Village Chief Ivan, you are not our enemy."

“Stop doing this!!”

Ivan threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground with all his strength.The broken glass reflected his face twisted with anger and fear, and he yelled:

"Will you let me go? Are you saints? I know, you can see it, you have long seen that I sent people to find the pickets. Ha, no wonder you two are the only ones here. You are here to lead Take my life, right?!”

"Village Chief Ivan, how do you want us to prove to you that we have no intention of killing anyone?"

Alina shook her head and said, "Can we calm down, sit down, and have a good chat together?"

"Sit down..." Old Ivan stared. The calm looks of Alina and Tallulah gradually made him regain his sense, and he gradually realized what he was doing.

"Sit down, why not? This is my home, why not..."

Old Ivan tremblingly lifted up the fallen chair and sat on it with anxiety and uneasiness.

"Village Chief Ivan, don't be nervous. We have no grudges, right?"

Tallulah said: "Can you tell us? Chief Ivan, how do you manage this small village so well in this wilderness."

"Okay? Do you think it's good?" Ivan whispered: "You can't even keep the food we grew with our own hands. How can this be called good?"

"However, I saw that the granary in the village is already much richer than most villages in the wilderness."

"Fu Fu? Yes, Fu Fu, do you know how much it cost me to fill up that bastard warehouse?!"

"For example, the ones buried on the hillside behind the village?" Tallulah said slowly: "Who are those people? Infected people? Miners who escaped from the mine? Or those persecuted infected literati?"

"...You all saw it?"

Tallulah nodded and said: "There will be no lush plants on the land where the infected died... Village Chief Ivan, were they all killed by the pickets?"

Old Ivan was silent. He couldn't answer this question...

"Village Chief Ivan, what does it feel like to kill someone?"

Alina asked calmly: "Will you regret it? Will you reflect on it? Or is it just relieved?"

Old Ivan didn't say a word, he just stood there in a daze. He thought about how he would answer when faced with questions, but at this moment, he couldn't speak anyway.

[I did it so that the people in the Sami village could survive. I betrayed those people to the pickets in order to protect the people and things in the village. I reported the guerrillas to the pickets in order to prevent the village from being picketed. People were destroyed on the charge of harboring guerrillas. 】

How legitimate are these reasons? As soon as he opens his mouth, he is almost invincible!

But he couldn't speak. He looked at the two people in front of him. No matter what, he couldn't speak.

"Can't you tell me? Village Chief Ivan..."

Tallulah looked at the old man with wide eyes and muttering to himself...

Like many people, he was a sufferer who struggled in the dark age. Because he had never seen the light, his own light no longer flickered over time.

Zheng! ! !

The sound of the sword being unsheathed came from the distance, and under the gradually darkening sky, a blazing sun was gradually rising!

That is the radiance of Pegasus, which lights up the earth and illuminates the hearts of all living beings.

Old Ivan didn't know what it was, but he understood,

The pickets he feared were actually not worth mentioning in the eyes of the guerrillas.

I made a bad move, and there is no worse move than this.

"Alina, let's go."

Tallulah stood up holding the hilt of the sword and said, "It's time for us to join Mr. Maena."

"Um…"

Alina stood up and slowly passed by Old Ivan.

"Village Chief Ivan, I still want to thank you for selling us the food... Although today is not your birthday, I sincerely wish you can have your own happiness."

"We will take away the remnants of those pickets, and we will not let those who come later entangle the village..."

"Also, Village Chief Ivan, if you can, I still hope you can read that book... Maybe you can find the answer to break the confusion."

Chapter 27 Veterans Return

Following the dazzling light, Tallulah and Alina found the battlefield between Maena and the Imperial pickets.

And when they came here, they intuitively realized what kind of strong man this always silent Mr. Ranger was——

The originally uneven ground was cut away by the sword blade, and the land was filled with dazzling gold. In the shining field, the bodies of the black-clothed soldiers were scattered all over the ground.

On this chaotic battlefield, Ma Enna stood upright like a javelin with a long sword in both hands.

He alone formed a city wall.

"Maena comes from Casimir's famous Linguang family. Decades ago, I fought alongside his father, Sir Cyril Linguang, in Sunset Canyon."

Tallulah recalled Agaritu's words and nodded secretly.

Can I be a knight recognized by teachers...Linguang, he lives up to his name.

"Is it resolved?" Ma Enna turned around and said, "Have you talked to the village chief?"

"We've talked about it." Tallulah nodded, then sighed and said, "Actually, what's happening in this small village is not a microcosm of the suffering on this land."

"I can feel that Village Chief Ivan has a lot to say, but he didn't say it out loud. He actually has his own reasons..."

"But the reason is not reasonable, Tallulah." Maena shook her head and said: "It is never reasonable to rely on sacrificing others to satisfy oneself."

"But how can there be so much reason in this land?"

Tallulah shook her head and said: "Many people are involuntarily. They may not want to take this road, but the world will always push them from behind. They... just want to live."

"So, this is the reason for our existence." Maena walked up to Tallulah. He was so tall that she had to lean down slightly to keep eye level with Tallulah:

"Tallulah, you are our leader and you should understand this."

"In this world, there are too many problems and too many irrationalities. These are all problems that we need to solve. It is precisely because these problems exist that we must raise our weapons and correct them. Mistakes, leading the way, are our great cause.”

"Don't be confused about the way forward, don't doubt yourself, Tallulah, you are our recognized leader, don't let the blood and mud in front of you hold you back. If you can't move forward because you can't look directly at the ugliness, then our ideal How will this be achieved?”

"Mr. Maena..."

Tallulah looked at Maena and became firmer.

"I understand, Mr. Maenna."

"So much the better."

"Okay, you two, stop being so serious." Alina intervened in the conversation between the two and said, "We still have a lot of work to do...the remains of the infected people in the back mountain must also be properly disposed of."

Back mountain…

The three people fell silent. Although none of them had witnessed those tragic scenes with their own eyes, they could guess from the twisted bodies and painful expressions that the end of their lives was not peaceful.

"First dig them out, and then ignite them with my flames. Drak's flames can purify everything." Tallulah arranged: "If these skeletons with Originium crystals are not processed carefully enough, new ones may appear in the future. secondary hazards.”

"Well, that's it."

……

On the other side of the wasteland, Bozokasti's team stopped after dozens of days of rapid march. The shield guards and the snow monsters found a hidden cave to station themselves. The joy of surviving the disaster made the guerrillas feel peaceful. Incessantly.

"It's time to report to Agaritu." Bozokas took out a pen and paper, silently recited Agaritu's name, and reported his situation on the paper——

"Bozhuo Kasti and Froststar Division have successfully broken through, with zero personnel losses."

Wendigo raised his head and looked at the endless grass and scattered trees in front of him. The induction power from the ancient bloodline allowed him to determine the position of himself and others.

"We have set up camp about fifty kilometers northwest of Chernobog and can be dispatched by the organization at any time!"

……

In the wilderness of Sami, Sami's guerrillas and Enxiodis' Holy Mountain Army took advantage of the night to bypass the Ursus blockade and headed south into the border. Shen Muke hid all his aura to avoid possible detection. While marching, he received letters from Bodrocaste and Hedley at the same time.

"The captain's efficiency is so high... His team should be the first to break out of the encirclement, and the first to reach within fifty miles of Qicheng... Company personnel

No losses?No wonder, the Wendigo's power is so super. "

"Why did Hedley suddenly write to me? Let me see..."

Shen Muke opened Hedley's letter and glanced at it quickly - from a literary point of view, this is a letter of great literary talent for the Sakaz people, and from a content point of view, the main content of this letter is: Explain the reasons for changing jobs.

Yes, Hedley's letter clearly and concretely stated how irrational Kazdaele's strategy is today and how narrow-minded and cruel his behavior is.

"Sir, the great goal we fought for in the past was abandoned after you and Your Majesty Thearesia left Kazdale. Now Kazdale has returned to its original path. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. The question was wrong...but I felt confused. As a Sakazian, I couldn't deny my compatriots' desire for revenge and their memory of the past humiliation. Therefore, instead of impulsively correcting it, I chose to temporarily leave."

"I was on the battlefield in Kazdare, and I heard that you are now running for the victims of Ursus... Can we also join in? We all miss the days of standing side by side with you. If you can, I hope you can Accept us.”

"We all want to talk to you and have a chat... Just like we did when we were at Rem Billiton. I also brought Hamil and Ines, as well as some old comrades from the expeditionary force... Oh, yes, also There is W. She was a recruit I took in during the Rem Billiton War, and she is now my reliable companion. She has read your book and has always wanted to meet you, so I took her with me..."

"Her personality is a bit... special, but I am sure that her heart is fiery, and she will definitely be able to contribute to your career. I can guarantee this..."

"When I write this letter, I have already crossed the southern border of Ursus. If the map in our hands is correct, we should now be southwest of the mobile city of Chernobog... We are going to Where can I find you? The vast snowfield in front of us makes us feel like we are in the clouds. It would be great if we could get your guidance."

Looking at this letter, Shen Muke couldn't help but sigh.

He was not surprised by the choice Hedley made, but what he sighed was that the Sakaz people still embarked on the established path.

He had also heard a little bit about what happened on the Kazdaele battlefield. Victoria was defeated by an airship transformed from a dead soul. Kazdaele won the anti-invasion war... and now, they are about to take revenge.

"The problem with Kazdaele must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be over when Her Majesty Thearesia comes out from the Empire of Consciousness and finds that the Sarkarz people have become pests in the world..."

Shen Muke tapped his chin and raised his pen——

"Far water cannot quench the near thirst. Kazdel's matters are not as urgent as Ursus's. My plan must be accelerated."

"Captain Bozokasti's team is closest to the comrades of the Sakaz Expeditionary Force, let them join up first."

"Several other groups of people are also rushing towards Qicheng as fast as possible, and the expansion team in the original plan is also being put back. Once Qicheng is captured, it won't be a problem how many troops are needed... Qicheng must also notify them in advance. , let them cooperate with Hedley... Hedley, Hedley, you have come at the right time. Entering Ursus at this point will definitely be noticed by the Holy Horse Castle... That's all, let Andorn and the others cooperate. Just take cover."

"The Nian side has also set off. When the space ship arrives over Qicheng, our uprising can begin!"

"The originally planned time has been shortened to the shortest time, and the personnel are basically in place. The Sami guerrillas, the Northern Plains guerrillas, the Scarlet Blade, the Political Commissar Corps, and the Sakaz Expeditionary Force... before spring comes, I can let the Black The flag is flying over Qicheng!"

Chapter 28: Riding the tiger away from the mountain

"Agaritu left the country?"

In the office of the Holy Castle, Witte looked at the officer in front of him with some disbelief.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Speaker Witte, we can confirm that Agaritu has left the land of our great Ursus!"

"..."

Witte was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, you go back to the station first."

Return to the station?

The officer's eyes widened and he said: "Go back to the station? Speaker Witte... I mean, should we report to His Majesty..."

"report?"
