Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"His Majesty!"

An officer walked into the room quickly and reported with some urgency: "Your Majesty, this morning, we lost contact with some mobile cities in the south... Your Majesty?"

Fyodor's eyes were red. He raised his head and asked through his teeth:

"How many parts?"

"...Three, namely Sakatov, Urits and Chalkin."

"Ah, this is really good news..." Fyodor's face twitched. He wanted to suppress his anger, but he failed in the end -

boom!

The Ursus scimitar, which symbolized imperial power and force, appeared in the theater where the stage play was playing in the next second.

On the screen, the officer trembled.

"Where is Werther?"

"Sir...Your Majesty the Speaker, we are waiting for you outside..."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

……

Facing the emperor's angry roar, Werther actually felt miserable in his heart.

In fact, the fall of Sakatov and other three cities was expected. In this regard, the emperor had no reason to blame anyone.

Because of the conscription and assembly orders issued by the emperor, all qualified young people across the country were conscripted into Holy Castle and surrounding mobile cities with advanced military industries. As a result, the city defenses of several mobile cities near the border were naturally empty.

Under such circumstances, the fall of Sakatov and other places was almost inevitable... I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

What the empire didn't expect was actually what the integration side didn't expect.

When Bodrokasti, Aktos and others led their troops to the city, the mayor and the nobles stationed here surrendered very smoothly.

There was no way. After experiencing the rapid fall of Chernobog and the night battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops, all the upper echelons of the empire knew that the military strength of the rebel organization called the Integration Movement should not be underestimated. Without enough With so many troops to contend with, surrender seemed so reasonable and smooth.

What's more, didn't the Integration Movement say that they treated prisoners preferentially?

Rather than fight to the end for the empire and integration, a group of nobles chose to save their lives.

How much kindness does the empire have to be so desperate?The gentlemen who are so pampered have never seen this, so when Sakatov surrendered, Uritz and Chalkin who were nearby also very consciously expressed their willingness to submit to the integration movement.

Shen Muke was very pleased with the behavior of those who knew the current affairs and regarded them as heroes, and then arranged for someone to take the leading group of nobles to a basement and execute them.

Come on, are aristocrats and oligarchs such good things?A group of evil and opportunistic bastards still want to die?The only thing that allows you to leave with dignity is that you surrender quickly enough.

The fate of the nobles in the three cities was deliberately transmitted to the Holy Castle by the integration movement. This information was now in Witte's hands, but he did not dare to show it to the emperor.

Werther just lowered his head and looked at the leather shoes on his feet, with the emperor's earth-shattering roar echoing in his ears, feeling in his heart that these leather shoes were really too leather.

"Those bastards, those rebellious slaves, how dare they blaspheme me and the glory of the Ursus Empire like this?"

Fyodor pointed at the screen that was split in half and said: "To disgust me in this way, it is a shame, this is the shame of the entire empire!"

"This shame is even more shameful than our defeat on the battlefield! I once thought that the Battle of Blood Peak was the biggest shame of the empire in thousands of years. I didn't expect that there was a basement under the floor?!"

Yes, Fyodor's anger is not actually about the loss of the three cities, because the military defeats in recent days have actually made him a little numb. He can't be so angry. Moreover, the number of imperial troops is now close to one million. , just use force to regain the lost territory.

What Fyodor is most worried about now is actually this stage play. What if it spreads to other countries...such as Victoria or Great Yan...Oh my god, where will Ursas' old face be?

"Check it out for me. Find out who created this stage play. I'm going to send out internal guards to nip him and his work in the bud!"

Fyodor, who was good at political power, knew that this hole should not be opened.

As the emperor of an empire that lasted for thousands of years, Feodor knew very well what he relied on to rule the empire.

Imperial power, supreme imperial power, inviolable and sacred imperial power formed the core of his rule.

If the sacred cloak of imperial power is torn off, it will be disastrous for the entire country.

Maybe he can finally defeat Agaritu and eradicate the integration movement, but if his imperial power is tarnished, the empire will fall into long-term turmoil.

If an integration movement is eliminated, other rebels will appear. They will raise a banner similar to that of the integration movement to crusade against this "dwarf, ugly and funny monarch".

"Witt, our strategy must be accelerated. We must solve the integration movement before everything goes abnormal."

Chapter 65 Selective Blindness

"Peter, what are you doing?"

In the corner, the soldier whose name was called suddenly started up. He clenched his fists subconsciously, but let the things in his arms fall to the ground.

"I, I didn't do anything!" Peter subconsciously wanted to cover it up, but unfortunately, the daily necessities and canned military rations scattered on the ground betrayed him.

"What are you doing?!" The man asked in surprise: "What are you packing your luggage for? We have just been transferred here..."

Peter looked at his comrades in front of him and remained silent.

"You...don't want to run away, do you?"

The comrade lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Don't scare me, Peter, don't you know the empire's attitude towards deserters?"

"You run away now. If you are caught by the pickets in the future...you can't be impulsive."

"Who is impulsive?!" Peter, who could not conceal what he saw, suddenly stood up and grabbed the collar of his comrade on the opposite side: "Long Jin, look at me! Do you think I am impulsive now?!"

Still not impulsive?

Long Jin could only wave his hands and said: "Don't be nervous, Peter, I have no intention of betraying you to the warlord... I just want to persuade you..."

"Persuade me? That's not necessary."

Peter sent him and sat on the floor to sort out the scattered luggage.

"I have decided, Longkin, that I am leaving the Imperial Army tonight. If you want to betray me to the Overseer, then go ahead."

"Come on, Peter, how could I betray you?"

Longjin sighed, took out two cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Peter, and said, "I just think it's dangerous to leave the army. I'm not worried about you."

"Don't worry, the situation is so serious now, the governor and the pickets won't notice me." Peter shook his head.

"Where are you going when you run out?" Long Jin suddenly asked: "I remember your home..."

"Yeah, my family is gone, and I don't plan to go back to my hometown."

"then you…"

"South, I plan to go to the south."

"You plan to vote..."

"Hush!!!" Peter stopped Long Jin's words. He looked around and said, "Do you want to kill me? It's so loud."

"No, I'm just surprised..." Long Jin lowered his voice and said, "Integration movement? Why do you want to defect to them?"

"You obviously don't want to go to the battlefield, why..."

"Two days ago, I received a call." Peter explained: "It was from the south."

"How to say?" Long Jin asked.

"He told me that life in the Integration Movement is better than in the north. He also said that after I go there, I don't need to fight. They can give me a job and let me live a stable life."

"...Do you believe this?" Long Jin was a little surprised and said: "Isn't this the same as the empire..."

"But we don't have a choice anymore, do we?"

Peter shook his head and said: "If we stay with the empire, we will be completely used as cannon fodder... If I run to the integrated territory, maybe I can still make a living."

"But what if you pass and the integration movement allows you to continue to fight on the battlefield?"

"So what, no matter what, it won't be worse than the empire, right?" Peter sighed in frustration, and said: "My father and several brothers were taken away by the empire, and they died on the border of the Eastern Kingdom. I didn’t even see the corpse...my mother, if it weren’t for the persecution of infected people by the empire, she might still be alive now..."

"The gentlemen in the empire say that the Integration Movement is a vicious rebel, but I heard that there are many infected people in the empire who defect to the Integration Movement. Even the infected are willing to defect to them... That must not be too bad. Bar?"

"What you said...makes sense." Long Jin nodded and said, "Then...how are you going to leave?"

"I have a friend in the logistics department." Peter replied: "At three o'clock tonight, he will find me a wilderness land vehicle filled with fuel. I will drive the land vehicle and it will be ready within a week at most. After breaking away from the military control zone of the empire, when the time comes, whether it is to find an integration movement or to leave Ursus directly, everything will be settled."

Long Jin nodded and said: "You have already planned it, so what else can I say... It's a pity that I still have my family, and they are still waiting for me in the village. If I run away, I'm afraid they will too. ...Otherwise I will go with you.”

"It's okay, Longkin, we will meet again in the future." Peter comforted: "When the war is over, please invite me to your home."

"sure."

……

In the gloomy night, a dark figure carrying a baggage emerged from the military camp.

Peter went to bed early tonight so that he would have enough strength to deal with any eventuality.

When his comrades around him were snoring, he took action.

He climbed out of the military camp with ease, and his target was the back door of the Logistics Department warehouse.

It was very close to the toilet, and because of the strong smell, it was usually not patrolled. He could enter the warehouse from there and meet up with his friends.

"If everything goes well, no one will notice that I have run away before dawn. After dawn, I have been driving the lander for three or four hours, and there is no way they can catch up with me."

Peter thought this way and slipped into the warehouse against the wall.

"Who?!"

"It's me, Wolfe." Peter greeted and said hello to his friend.

"You came."

Peter rushed to Wolfe eagerly and said, "Where is the land vehicle? I have to leave quickly..."

"You have to wait a while..." Wolfe looked at Peter with a complicated expression and said, "Because of the orders from above, all military land vehicles must be locked at night, and the key is with Captain Valery..."

"Damn, what should I do?"

"Pick the lock." Wolfe took out a bent wire and said, "I know a little bit of craftsmanship."

"No matter what, hurry up!"

"So I said wait a minute..." Wolfe put the wire into the keyhole with a gloomy expression and said, "This matter cannot be rushed... Why don't you sit down and take a rest first?"

"How can I have that leisure time!" Peter said anxiously: "If I were discovered..."

"Look, look, you can't hold your breath anymore," Wolfe said with a smile, "I've seen this situation many times. I'm just trying to scare myself."

"Wait a minute, what does [seeing a lot] mean?" Peter asked confused.

"Counting you, this

In months, I have sent away more than 20 people. Wolff smiled and said: "How do you think I am so skilled?" "

"More than twenty?" Peter asked in surprise.

"Yes, not only your infantry regiment, but also the artillery regiment, the Impaler regiment, and a second lieutenant staff officer." Wolfe said with a smile: "Everyone is not willing to fight, and they all want to live a down-to-earth life."

"So, you pried off more than twenty land vehicles from the Logistics Department?" Peter said with a strange look on his face: "You were not discovered by anyone?"

"Who cares?" Wolfe said with a smile: "In the logistics side, officers come to check every day, but how many people actually check? I give them a few cigarettes and bottles of good wine, and they just It’s like I’m blind, who cares if there are still land vehicles in the warehouse of the Logistics Department... Oh, it’s open.”

Wolfe opened the door and said to Peter: "When you are ready, go quickly. The reason why I asked you to come at this time is because it is the time for the guards to take over their shifts. The guards in the middle of the night will linger for a while. It is precisely Good time for you to leave!”

"Okay, then I'll..."

Boom!

A muffled sound stirred the two people who were communicating in a low voice. They raised their heads tremblingly and saw Captain Valery standing at the door with a bunch of keys on his waist.

"Captain..." Wolfe's eyes widened, his mind spinning rapidly, wondering how he was exposed. In the end, he could only think of one possibility -

The warehouse is adjacent to the toilet in the military camp, and Captain Valery comes to use the toilet.

This is really a nonsensical coincidence...

Unlike Wolfe's despair, Peter drew out his saber the moment he saw Valery. He could no longer look back. In this case, he had to fight tooth and nail if he wanted to survive!

"Cough cough!"

While the two were occupied with their own thoughts, Captain Valery coughed twice.

The black military boots moved, and under the astonished gazes of the two men, Captain Valery turned sideways and cleared the way.

"This…"

"What else are you talking about! Run!" Wolfe hit Peter on the head hard, and then pushed him onto the land vehicle eagerly.
