Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"Your Excellency? Your Excellency?" The officer called several times, but Snake Lin remained motionless. The officer subconsciously stretched out his hand and put his finger to Snake Lin's pale face wrapped in a black robe...

"hiss!!"

The withered arm was raised, and the sharp nails pierced the officer's wrist in an instant. Snake Scales opened his eyes, and the vertical pupils shrank rapidly. The servant of the Immortal revealed his terror.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The officer held his bleeding wrist, but Snake Scale turned a blind eye.

The officer's moans made Snake Scales unbearable. He grabbed the officer's collar and pulled his face full of pain in front of him:

"Stop shouting...what's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...I want to report to you."

The officer endured the severe pain and muttered: "Chernobog is moving."

Started?

"Where are you heading?"

"Southwest direction..."

The officer's moans gradually became smaller. He wanted to speak, but his voice could not come out. He wanted to reach out, but was unable to control his arms. The blood in the wound had stopped flowing, and the original scarlet color gradually turned into a strange black.

"I...Your Excellency...I..."

"Your mission has been completed." Snake Scale showed the razor-like nails in front of the officer. Before the officer's eyes closed, he only saw a joking smile.

"Who asked you to disturb me? Little officer..."

boom!

The officer's arms fell and his breathing gradually stopped.

he died.

"To the southwest...are they leaving Ursus? But why not go east?"

Snake Scale stood up, without even looking at the officer's body lying on the ground. He walked around, thinking about the problem at hand.

"Agaritu, have you seen my strategy? You don't want to sit still and wait for death, so you want to seek help?"

"But why do you want to go to the west instead of seeking refuge in the Yan Kingdom in the east?"

"Are you going to seek help from Casimir? But what ability does Casimir have to fight against us?"

jingle--

Snake Scales rang the bell, and another herald came in.

"Order all troops to follow Chernobog's rear and not approach easily."

Snake Scale knew that the long-lasting natural disaster cloud over Chernobog was undoubtedly a trump card of Agaritu...

"Ah, by the way, take this guy out."

The herald's eyes widened. Only now did he see the officer lying on the ground.

"Your Excellency...he..."

"He is...Agaritu's spy, take him out."

"But, Your Excellency, how could he be..."

"I said yes, he is." Snake Scale's eyes widened, he looked at the herald and said, "Do you want to question me?"

"...don't dare."

……

"The plan has taken effect." In the watchtower, Shen Muke looked at the mobile cities and land-ships hanging far behind him, smiled and said to Bozhuo Kasti and others beside him: "Our team can be sent out."

"Remember, don't confront them head-on. The most appropriate way is to launch a surprise attack at night."

"Don't be fond of fighting, don't be greedy for merit, fight and leave without asking for results."

"There is no main attack, it's all feints. We have to deal with them, but we don't want to confront them head-on."

Shen Muke smiled and looked to the southwest. On the distant horizon, the Key West Valley was where the sun set.

"Black Snake... do you want a war? Come on, I will fulfill your wish and satisfy you vigorously! You will be so satisfied that you will quit it!"

……

Casimir, the headquarters of the Supervisory Committee.

Ta-ta-ta-ta...

Gawain, the Knight of the Wind Chaser, wearing exquisite full-body armor, walked into the hall. He knelt down on one knee with his helmet in his arms and saluted, and reported to the Grand Knight in front of him:

"Grand Knight Commander, I have received a piece of information."

"intelligence?"

The Grand Knight Commander sat there, raised his head in confusion, and said, "Whose information did it come from?"

"This information comes from Agaritu."

Gawain replied.

"Oh?" The Grand Knight Commander raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Agaritu, tsk tsk, does our friend actually think of us again?"

Decades ago, after Shen Muke went to the Foehn Land, he had not contacted these "old friends" in the Casimir Supervisory Committee for a long time.

"So, what good news does our friend bring us?" the Grand Knight asked.

Because of the long-term good trade relationship with Kjerag, the Grand Knight Commander had a good impression of Agaritu, so naturally, the Grand Knight Commander thought this was another cooperation between the Supervisory Committee and Agaritu.

"...It's a pity, Your Majesty the Lord Knight Commander." Gawain shook his head and said, "The news I brought is not good news."

"What's that?"

"It's war, Lord Knight. I received a warning from Agaritu."

Gawain took off the helmet on his hand, revealing the letter written by Shen Muke himself.

"Agaritu claimed that Ursus has sent several troops to attack the Key West Valley. Their purpose is probably to use force to retake the valley area!"

"Key West Valley?! They still have the nerve to take the Valley?!"

In the hall, an old knight stood up and roared: "

How dare those Ursus warmongers..."

"Don't get excited, Tver, sit down first." The Grand Knight Commander said calmly: "Gawain, is this information true?"

"I can use my title as a guarantee, Your Majesty the Grand Knight Commander."

Gawain opened the letter in his hand and showed it to the many knights in the hall——

"I fought side by side with Agaritu, and I am familiar with his handwriting... There is no need for him to deceive me."

"..." The Grand Knight Commander looked at Gawain in silence. He waved to the shadow next to him. After a while, a man whose face could not be seen clearly walked out of the shadows. He lay down and said a few words in the Grand Knight Commander's ear. .

"My informant said that within a few days, Saint Junbao simultaneously mobilized five armies to go to the south..." The Grand Knight frowned and said seriously: "It seems that what our friend Agaritu said It’s not false…”

"Grand Knight Commander, what should we do?!"

The old knight Tver stood up and said loudly: "The Key West Valley is Casimir's indisputable territory and cannot be ceded to those guys!"

"Of course I know, Tver, but on the contrary, we must be prepared."

The Grand Knight Commander stood up and slowly walked down the long steps——

"I'll go to the headquarters of the Federation of Commerce and ask them to cooperate with our actions."

"Your Excellency, Lord Knight Commander, should I rely on the power of those guys?"

Tver stopped him: "Those guys... they don't recognize us, just like we don't recognize them. It's pointless for you to find them!"

"No, Tver, not without a doubt."

The Grand Knight Commander shook his head and said: "If Agaritu's information is accurate enough, what we will face this time is no less intense than the Tenth Uka War... At this time, we are entangled in ideas and spirit. It’s meaningless, the first thing we need to ensure is Casimir’s interests.”

Chapter 53 Asking questions and solving them

When the shadow of Chernobog entered the Key West Valley, the Casimir Council and the Chamber of Commerce also completed negotiations.

"Grand Knight Commander, our team has been assembled. There are more than fifty large and small knights who can go to the front line. They have sworn loyalty to Casimir."

Gawain put the helmet on his head and put his hand on the hilt of the sword. He was a little nervous for the first time in a long time.

He's going to the battlefield again, and he hasn't told his family about it yet... But it shouldn't matter. It's not his first time on the battlefield. He has experienced too many similar situations since he became a long knight.

"Very good, Gawain. Among the younger generation, there are few people as capable as you."

The Grand Knight Commander tightened the belt around his waist and sighed: "It's a pity. It would be nice if the Lightning Knights were just the Lightning Knights."

"If Agaritu was just a knight, we wouldn't be able to get the information this time, Your Excellency."

Gawain replied: "Every gain must be a loss, isn't it?"

"Yes, there are gains and losses. What else did Agaritu's intelligence say?"

"And about the feint."

Gawain replied: "According to Agaritu, Ursus's military commander this time is very important. In order to consume our strength, he specially arranged a feint attack."

"Be specific, Gawain."

"To be specific, Chernobog."

Gawain replied: "Chernobog, some time ago, this city was occupied by the rebels of Ursus, so the emperor of Ursus wanted to use this as an opportunity to drive Chernobog into Our embrace.”

"You mean..."

"Yes sir, there has to be a reason for war, right?"

Ah, that makes sense.

The new emperor of Ursus has been inactive for several years, and his external statements have also advocated peace and communication. Now that war suddenly resumes, there must be a suitable reason.

Counterinsurgency, hunt down rebels, and find mobile cities, what a suitable reason to start a war...

However, as a rational person, the Grand Knight Commander also naturally thought of another possibility, such as...Usas really wanted to hunt down the rebels.

Thinking of this, the great knight captain stopped, leaving Gawain who was following him stunned.

"How is it? Your Excellency, the Grand Knight Commander."

"Ah, it's nothing, Gawain." The knight captain shook his head and continued to move forward.

This possibility exists, and even if you think about it carefully, this possibility is even greater, isn't it?

The Grand Knight Commander once met Witte, the president of the Ursus Empire Council. He was a humble and prudent man. The monarch loyal to such a person would not be dazzled by a mere rebel.

But, he can't gamble.

The Grand Knight actually likes those bridge games from Londinium, especially when he gets a good hand, the pleasure of toying with his opponent makes even him excited... But this kind of thinking cannot be put aside Enter Casimir.

Money can be used for gambling, but the survival of the country and race cannot.

"Even if it's just a cover, even if it's just a bad joke, so what?"

"The Key West Valley belongs to Casimir. No one can take it away, and no one has the right to touch it!"

"This is how a Casimir knight should think."

……

"gentlemen."

On the watchtower, Red stood at the door.

"What's wrong, Red?"

Shen Muke looked at it with a smile

to him.

"I…"

"Have any doubts?" Shen Muke raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have any questions, just ask them, Red. It's not like you to hesitate."
