Ark's Journey to the Demon God

After reacting, Peter did not dare to delay. He stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the military camp, finally disappearing from the sight of the two of them.

"Captain, what are you..."

"Ah, Sergeant Wolfe, how did you get lost here?"

Captain Valery, who looked calm, spoke the first words of the evening.

"Ah, report Captain Valery, I...I'm here to use the toilet!"

"So are you finished?"

"Report Captain, I'm done."

"Then, go back to your camp and sleep."

Chapter 66 Half a Soldier’s Life

From an early age, Valery Mikhailovich pondered the meaning of his own life.

He never thought he would have such a day...

Vasily came from a family of meritorious Ursus soldiers, and his ancestors entered the country holding the double eagle flag. In a sense, he loved the Ursus Empire more than many nobles.

Vasily was very disdainful of those aristocratic gentlemen who were lying on their backs, because in his opinion, the gentlemen's struggle for power and hesitation did not bring any benefit to the country. What else could they do besides playing politics?Did my majestic Ursus millennium empire rely on just a few insects?

The land of Ursus comes from struggle, and the greatness of Ursus comes from war. Valery has been taught this way since he was born.

"Valery, you want to become a bright soldier, like your ancestors, fight for the country and fight for Ursus!"

"As a descendant of soldiers, you should keep this honor in your heart. When you achieve the same achievements as your ancestors, it will be an eternal glory for you and the entire family."

Valery was convinced of this. He entered the famous military academy in Ursus since he was a child and graduated with honors. He followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and joined the army, starting with the rank of second lieutenant...

Valery's military career is so reasonable and smooth. Not surprisingly, he will become an indestructible pillar supporting the empire just like his ancestors!

The year Valery joined the army happened to be the most prosperous period of the emperor's era. He followed the Ursus Empire in the south and north, and his troops reached as far as the north of Rutland City and Claybrasson in Victoria. Speaking of which, At that time, there were still many Gaul survivors in Claybrasson...

At that time, the young Valery was so determined. He firmly believed that the greatness of the empire was inviolable. He firmly believed that the great Ursus would remove all obstacles. He firmly believed that under the leadership of the emperor, Ursus would Complete the great ideal that even Gaul failed to complete back then - wipe out all the countries and unify the continent!

Then, as General Herage's staff officer, he followed the troops to the Sunset Canyon of Casimir.

That night, in front of the scarlet Originium chariot, beside General Herague, he saw that person...the flag bearer driving the flashing thunder.

He was very young, almost the same as himself, but his courage and heroism won Valery's respect. When retreating after the war, Valery knew his name - Agaritu.

This was the first meeting between Valery and Shen Muke. However, Shen Muke only remembered Herage, Bozhuo Kasti and the insidious snake scale. As for Valery, sorry, Shen Muke didn't remember him.

However, Valery had a new realization. He suddenly began to think about something.

The thing is, under such a majestic military attack from Ursus, why are Casimir and the flag-bearer named Agaritu so desperate?

As long as you lay down your weapons and accept the rule of the Ursus Empire, you can escape with your life. Why resist? Why is the knight named Cyril Linguang so desperate?

From that time on, Valery felt that something was wrong with the situation. He felt that the side he supported was not as good as his fathers said... After all, if the empire was really good, then why didn't the Casimir people surrender?

After that, he was transferred out of Herage's army and went to work as an instructor under Grand Duke Baikal. This was a good job because instructors generally did not have to go to the battlefield in person, and the military pay was also very generous.

Then, after the [-]th Uka War, Valery's unit moved to Lateran.

Lateran, ideal country, holy city.

This is a beautiful place, and it is said that the life of the people of Lateran is as beautiful as in fairy tales. However, Emperor Ursus believes that Laterland should belong to the great Ursus.

Valery had no idea about this. The emperor's decision was always correct. As a soldier loyal to the empire, he only had to obey orders...

However, the resistance of the Laterans left him somewhat confused.

For one month in a row, the Sakota people relied on the solid walls of the Holy City to successfully repel nearly a hundred attacks from Ursus. Their city was as sacred as what was written in their doctrine. Inviolable, towering and will not fall.

"Do our actions really represent the great side?"

Valery asked, but the only people who heard his doubts were the recruits who had just joined the army. Their understanding of soldiers, loyalty and war was not yet in place, let alone justice and greatness.

Valery applied for a logistics job for a while with this question, and he wanted to think carefully about what all this was about.

He just thought about it, thinking about Rutland's withdrawal, thinking about Ursus' Eastern Expedition, thinking about... that fateful moment.

In the year 1073 of the Terra Calendar, Valery Mikhailovich, as the captain of the Impaler Regiment, followed Archduke Baikal's Third Army to Blood Peak, where everything he believed in collapsed...

"That's Agaritu, the Agaritu who was in Sunset Canyon!"

At the entrance of the Blood Peak Valley, Valery's eyes widened as he was heavily surrounded by the Eastern Kingdom's legions. He raised his head and saw a figure wearing a robe and holding a war spear on the cliff.Skirt⑥⑨④⑨③⑥①④⑤

There was no doubt that it was Agaritu. Although it was slightly different from ten years ago, that face was imprinted on Valery's heart like a steel seal.

Valery watched, watching the god-like figure raise his spear——

"I'm standing here, so you can't take another step forward!"

Valery couldn't remember what happened after that. He only saw a flash of light, and the flagship, those shield ships, and the servants... were all gone.

In this way, Agaritu announced the defeat of Ursus. There were hundreds of thousands of people in three armies!

Valery withdrew like this. He didn't even have any negative emotions towards Agaritu, who was his enemy. He knew that Agaritu contributed a lot to the fact that he and his subordinates were able to withdraw to Ursus, because at that time Grand Duke Baikal wanted to Shooting at one's own people...

In this way, Valery, who came from a military family, fell into despair. He and his men returned to Ursus in despair. Their team was disrupted and reorganized, and he was transferred to the logistics and was hidden by the empire.

But, it's not over yet.

After this, Valery witnessed the great rebellion in Ursus and the general outbreak of social conflicts in the empire. However, even he could not explain where the empire's problems lay.

In the past, during the period when Ursus was victorious, the empire was obviously very united...

Valery didn't know what happened to the empire he was loyal to. He could only hide in the logistics department, drinking and playing cards with his comrades every day. His spirit became more and more decadent, and he almost lost the steely strength of the past. Will, until... He went to a subordinate's home as a guest and saw the red book that the subordinate used to prop up the table legs.

"You're talking about this? Ah, this, I picked it up in the wilderness. You know, I'm not very educated and can't read, so I just use it as a table leg... You want it? Then Just give it to you!”

Valery took the book and went out. He was eager to know what was written in the book, because he saw that the author of the book was named Agaritu.

Chapter 67 Let the hero check the hero

In the distant ancient country of the East - the Kingdom of Yan, there is a saying: Opening the book is beneficial.

Valery didn't know this sentence, but he knew that reading a book, no matter what kind of book it was, was always beneficial... What's more, this was a book written by Agaritu.

Valery's feelings about the name Agaritu are quite complicated.

Objectively, Valery knew that he was an out-and-out enemy of the Empire. Whether in Sunset Canyon or Blood Peak, he was blocking the Empire's progress.

However, subjectively, Valery did not hate Agaritu. He was just curious. Why did such a strong man, a strong man who could change the outcome of a war, choose to be an enemy of Ursus?

Why didn't he fight Dayan?Why didn't he hit Victoria?Why didn't he fight Kazdale?Why did he hit Ursus?

With this doubt in mind, Valery opened the book and saw this sentence:

[Throughout the more than [-] years of civilization on the Terra continent, I believe that the main contradiction in this world is not the disease caused by the Origin Stone, nor the differences between races, nor the alien races outside the territory. 】

[And now, class. 】

Valery's eyes widened. He didn't understand the meaning of this word for a while, but Agaritu's explanation later made him think carefully.

Agaritu divided everything on this land like a Gallic layer cake. He pointed out that there are classes but no races in this world, because the conflicts between races come from blood, culture and history. However, in this world there are Too many people are still suffering from the oppression of their own race for no reason. This is something that all previous books and theories cannot explain.

Valery saw that Agaritu used Ursus as an example. He pointed out that the children of the nobles who were also the subjects of the Ursus Empire were born to enjoy the service of servants and good education. However, in the wilderness, in those There are too many people in factories and mines who cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing.

"Is that so...Are there many people in the empire who don't have enough to eat?"

Valery was shocked by this fact. He was born in a family of meritorious soldiers and had never tasted hunger since he was a child. Similarly, he had never paid attention to the people who worked in the empire's mines and factories.

"So this is what their life is like?"

Valery continued to look and saw the empire's oppression of the infected.

[This is a lie, an unforgivable lie concocted by the superior to maintain his rule! 】

[They wanted to use this method to deceive us, but unfortunately, unfortunately, they failed! 】

[In the foreseeable future, I have predicted that the past order will collapse due to decay, and the new world will be reborn in the fire! 】

Valery closed the book suddenly, his pupils trembling, and he realized a terrible fact, that is, what Agaritu said was not a fabricated fantasy, but a powerful fact, and as a soldier loyal to the empire, Are you actually starting to identify with him? !

"What am I doing..."

Valery's fingers twitched. He tried to open the book over and over again, but closed it again and again. Finally, when he recalled the figure on the Blood Peak again, he compromised.

"Tell me, Agaritu, tell me, what happened to the empire, how did the great Ursus become like this."

A rational person will always choose the path to the truth. When Valery opened the book again, he had inadvertently agreed with Shen Muke's theory. From now on, everything will fall into place.

……

Ursus, in the meeting room of the Logistics Department of the Imperial Army Command Headquarters.

Under some dim lights, a group of Ursus officers gathered together. Most of them were lieutenants, and the few captains were only majors and lieutenant colonels. In other words, they were all middle-level officers, close to the upper levels. , and closely connected with the lower level, belonging to a situation of neither going up nor going down.

"Is everyone here?" a lieutenant colonel asked.

"We're all here." Valery and others echoed.

"Everyone, as you can see, the rebel organization [Integration Movement] is gradually growing in power, and the empire is looking forward to our allegiance!"

"Ula!"*n

"I know everyone is excited, but now is not the time to get excited."

The lieutenant colonel shook his head and said: "According to reliable information, we are not working together internally... In other words, there are traitors from the integration within us!"

bang bang dong!

Valery only felt his heart stop for a beat. He pinched his thigh quietly to force himself to stay calm.

The lieutenant colonel narrowed his eyes and scanned everyone around him——

"Lieutenant Colonel Weiss, you know me well. I was one of the first people to follow you..." a lieutenant argued.

The lieutenant colonel's eyes moved to the next person——

"Lieutenant Colonel Weiss, you know me well. I never do anything I'm not sure about, and I never do anything... This is too dangerous, how could I dare to do it..."

The lieutenant colonel nodded again, his eyes scanning everyone one by one, and finally stopped on Valery's face——

"Lieutenant Colonel Weiss, I..."

"You...certainly not."

???

Valery was astonished. He looked at Lieutenant Colonel Weiss and shook his head, saying: "You...including me, may be integrated people, but Valery will not be."

"Why is this..."

"Nonsense, go check Valery's family tree. When his ancestors entered the country holding the eagle flag, we were still kneeling under the throne of the Hippogriff Empire! Can you compare with him?"

Valery Mikhailovich is a serious old Ursus who holds the double eagle flag. Who can compare with his background?

Lieutenant Colonel Weiss looked at the young lieutenant with contempt and said, "Of all of you, who can be more loyal than Valery? I never thought of it."

"So of course, I will leave the task of identifying traitors and undercover agents to Valery. Is that okay?"

You have said so, so how can we still have opinions?

A group of officers began to agree, and at the same time, they also showed their kindness to Valery intentionally or unintentionally.

Valery sat next to the lieutenant colonel, his mind was blank.

What the hell?Want me to check for spies?I'll check it out. I'll check it out.

Valery cries

He couldn't help but accepted this glorious task of investigating himself, and assured the officers present that he would do his best to find out all the spies!

[I’m just afraid of you...]

In private, several officers looked at each other and decided to find an opportunity to have a relationship with Valery.

It's a symbolic check, but if you really find out that we want to invest in the whole thing, it will be fine...

In this way, in the conference room, under the nose of Lieutenant Colonel Witte, three forces took shape.

On one side, there are die-hard loyalists to the empire who are looking for traitors represented by Valery. However, Valery himself no longer has much affection for the empire. Now he just wants to go to Chernobog and see the new world in the book...

On the other side, there are a group of middle- and lower-class officers with progressive ideas. Most of them are young, energetic and energetic, and they will think about some issues, such as abandoning the emperor and surrendering to the emperor.

There is another party, the imperial officers headed by Lieutenant Colonel Witte. They are all experienced. Their goal is to maintain a good relationship with their superiors and sit comfortably in the office. As for the work arranged by the empire to track down traitors... this is not necessary. Valery is here~

Someone has said that when an empire is about to go downhill, someone will always step on the accelerator for it, and now, the time has come for the old car of the Ursus Empire.
